which, unless well authenticated, would be almost
incredible. As an instance of the vast Increase of
trade in the West, we give the following statistics, with
reference to Chiaego. In 1869, the experts were as
follows :
Flour and Grain, bushels 16,764.138
Fat Cattle 39,500
Fat Hnge
Barrels of Beef
While for the year sad* Jam, 1863, the returns
give the exports of
Flour and Gran, bneheb 154,741,639

DurlnF tbe petted above referred to, there has been no
materially increased facility of communication with the
sea-ports, and the eget of freight, as well as loss from
repeated transhipment of goods, has been very large.
' To meet the requirement. of thus constantly increasing
trede,the Atlantic and Gnat Western Railway hairline
projected sod built, and will, without doubt, become
the principal channel of communication between the
East and West. In • country so rich in egrlealtural
productions, it would be unnatural to look for any great
develohmeot of nuntifactuntag industry, and we there.
fore find that the copulation le supplied with lugarte•
and neeremeries, other the. the products of the soil,
chiefly from Europe end Eastern Statee, thus creating
• vast traffic, and giving ample employment UP all
avainityle means of conveyance. Hitherto the cost of
transport in time and money hes been so great as to
nosily. up • terse portion of the value of arricultnral
products, no that a cheaper and more eateid.tious mode
of conveyance had become ab-olutely neoevaar7. The
Atlantis arid Great Western Railway, by furntahing an
unbroken couimuukation between the sea-porta and the
West, supplies this desideretum, and will necemarily
absorb • large puiportion of the traffic. But the. is by
no mean, the only warm frau wham it will derive
its revenue ; there are the vast eoal fields of Ohio, and
the oil wells of Pennsylvania, besides a very large
/amount of local or way traffic. The two latter only
have, op to the present time, contributed to the
receipts of the Company, but from three tbe earnings
have been sufficient to provide all the neeeseary funds for
payment of interest on the bonded debt of time Cempsey,
Wades leaving • large surplus. It is Intended to open
the setae line on the Ist Decemb r. so that next year
we may look for great results. The demand for owl in
Caged., as well as along the entire route, will also eon-
ribute largely to yrell the novipt., and it is confidently
uticipated that the branch line:to Buffalo, wl fell will
briug this trade into activity, will be ounhleted daring
the owning year. —E. F. &Weekly ailes Weekly Circdar,

however. placed the matter In legal handa, and it
appears the residue of the estate not left by will, is the
amount stated above, which the mother takes ea heir-
at-law, and hand. over to her son. There is also some
doubt expreued a. to the validity of the will, and this
point, which involves the disposition of the whole pro-

STURMINSTER AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
The annual meeting of this eroellent 'misty was
held on Thursday, Novrinber 24th, and, as on former
occasions, attracted • very large number of the
leading agriculturists and dealers, both of Dorset
and the adjoining counties. In consequence of the
lamented death of H. Kw Bsymer, Feq., the society
has suffered the lose of ow of its most saleable sup-
porter,. Hearn the omission of a prize for cart
stallions, and for other stook. The show WM • very
excellent ase, the only falling-off being in the num-
ber of entries for fat sheep. Of fat oxen there were
five entered for competition. Mr. Chapin'., how-
ever, bore off the palm, and sseared for its owner
the first prize of £7, given by Sir E. B. Baker. We
understand that it was afterwards sold to Mr.
Dennett, of Shaftesbury, so that we' may con-
gratulate some of our friends in that distriot with
having in prospective • firet•rate Christmas fare. Mr.
COMM of Hanunoon, and his brother, of Sherborne,
took off first and second prises for Mr. Farqutiarson's
prise of LIS for fat heifers, with two splendid animals
The first prise in the list of breeding stock, £5,
givtm by the Ron. Mr. Portman for the beet stock
•Eiull was awarded to Mr. J. A. Smith, of Bradford
Coverall. All the animals in this clue were well
worthy of commendation as regard, their symmetry
of form, and those points which • resifr prides
himself in ; but they were more Si for the butcher's
knife than for their natural use. Mr. Bossiter and
Mr. W. Hunt, both of Maruhull, exhibited two very
superior ono-year-old stock bells. There was also a
very good competition for the Marquis of West-
minster s£6 prize, for the beet dairy cow or heifer,
in oialf and in milk, the first prise bring awarded to
Mr. James, of Mappowder, and the second to Mr.
J. A. Smith. As usual "poor piggy" was fatted up
to a most uncomfortable condition, and ooe brought
for exhibition gave up the ghost before it could be
removed from the wagon in which it was conveyed

The prism to agricultural labourers wars awarded
in the large of the Crown Inn, by G.
Whieldon„ ~ assisted by the honorary secretary,
Mr. Daub . To each of those present • neatly
framed certificate was presented, after which Mr.
Whieldon expressed to them the very great pleasure
be felt in awarding them such suitthle recognitions
of their excellent character. They were all (be
said) fellow workers together, and it was most
likely they they had been stimulated to maintain the
ercellent characters they bore by the good conduct
of those who prooseded them. He trusted that they
would draw the attention of their homilies to the
fact that it was by their good orsidecit that they had
gained such marks of approval. It had been said,
and said truly, "That an honest man was the
noblest work of God," and he trusted that they
would ever persevere in the upright course they had
hitherto plumed. The labourers having been
treated with a glans of wine, withdrew, apparently
highly gratified with their encosse, and the kind
and encouraiing remarks of the Chairman.

thou alluded to the macros glean by Mr. Portman
st Shaftesbury for attending such meetings, namely,
that if there happened to be any lints differencee
between members and their eonatithesta, such measioes
afforded them as opportunity of explaining them away,
and on that occasion Mr. Portman proceeded to ••-
amplify what he stated in • most lucid meaner—he

Mr. Start then stated that the reason why he did not
allude to foreign affairs at Shaftesbury was because he
was afraid to intrudes" polities in the combustible
atmosphere there. Hs then reviewed the priest/oil
questions which bad been brought before Parliament

alluded to them in the comae, who wished Enema to
go to war for oppme.e.d nations—as the Nonsense?, the
Itallaos, and the Pole., and gave it as his opines
that England was umiak by the sword and CIIIOIIOII to

AN OLD MAN KILLED BY HIS BON.IN.

MANSLAUGHTER.

, On Monday evening, the 21st Mot, • lahouriri
named Henry Fetcher, was given into cusbodp,
on the charge f havino mimed the death at his
fatber•in-law, Joseph 'Pryhorn, • man of 82
years of age. The deceased lived in Timmy's-
buildings, Rollestoue-strest ; but on konday eveniag
he was at Fetcher's house, in Gigant-etreet, having
gone there at the request of his daughter, who has
lived unhappily with her husband for some time.
It appears that l'ryhorn was standing new the door,
and that while Fetcher and his wife were having
some words, he either fell, or was knocked down,
and in falling struck his head. %me of the neigh.
boors gave an alarm, and Mr. Wieser was sent for,
and promptly attended, but before his arrival the
old man died. Fetcher himself left the house, and
when apprehended was drinking at • public-beam
Inquiries were immediately set on foot by Supt.
Caldow, and a woman named Frampton stated that
she heard Mts. Fetcher cry out, " Oh ! my dear
father, you have killed him t" and - that Fetcher
replied, "Out of the way," and at once left the
hoses. Another person stated that she beard Mr'.
Fetcher say that her husband pushed the old man
down; bat Mrs. Fatcber's own statement was to the
effect that be did not even offer to strike bine. Her
father, she sairl,fell aid in • fit. On Tuesday morn-
ing an inquest was held at the Council Hones,
before R. M. Wilson, Esq., coroner, who first went
with the jury to view the body of the deceased, and
then adjourned the inquiry until Thursday, when
the following evidence was given :

I was paring Henry Futcher's door, I heard some
words respecting • boy ; it warn between Fmcber and
Tr:6.re (his father-in-law). I saw Fetcher strike
Tryborn in the chest with his fiat ; the door of the
house was wide open. I was standing close to the
door. Furober was just inside the door ; he was
standing side-ways to me. Trvhorn was in the front
of him. After Fetcher struck him, he fell. Fetcher
came out. I said to him, "what • shame it waste
strike an old man like him." Fetcher walked up
the street. I beard Mrs. Fetcher say, "you nasty
rascal, you have killed my poor old father."—!

Curtis was on the opposite aids of the road. By
the jury : I was on the opposite side of the street,
when I beard the disterbence ; I crossed over and
stood in front of Futcher's door. I live in °agent
street.

Mra Frampton 1 live In Gipnistrost, next

there was • disterbeoce between him and Ina wife.
I heard Mrs. Fetcher say, "you have killed my
father." I was outeide of Fab:Ares door. I saw
Tryborn fall, his head struck against the doorstep.
I did not see Fetcher strike the decreed. By the
jury I never stated I heard the blows, nor that I
saw the blows given. I heard Mrs. Fetcher say,
" oh! father! father you have killed my father!"
Ann Curtis said I am the wife of Albert Curtis,
bricklayer, residing in Gigantstreet. On Monday
evening last, between six and seven o'clock, I was
standing at my own door, opposite to where Fetcher
lives. I heard Mrs. Fetcher say, "you shall not
strike my father ;" and just as she was saying the
words the second time. I saw the shadow of Futoher's
arm (I know it was his) striking in the direction
of the old man. I heard a blow, and a fall imme-
diately after. I ran SCION al* road, and sew the old
gentleman lying on the floor. I saw Futzher
coming out of the door; he was swearing ; am
certain I beard the blow. Mn. Fetcher said," oh!
my poor father; ob my poor father." lam certain

house to get some brandy to try to revive the old
gentleman, and 1 noticed the dock, it was about ten
minutes par six. There had been some quarrel-
ling before. [did not'see Tryhorn go into the house.
Henry John Fetcher, aged 10 years (son of the
prisoner) : I was at home when my grandfather
came in, neither father or grandfather had any
words. Mother and father were quarrelling, and
grandfather said if he was 20 years younger be would
put father's head in the sank-bole. Father ordered
him out, grandfather did not go; mother raid if be
went, she would go also. Then grandfather said if
his dogs were the same as father's wife and children
were, be would go and get some straw for them.
Grandfather said, "oh dear !" and he (ill down.
Grandfather did not speak again. lam sure father
was sitting against the fire-place when grandfather
fell ; mother was standing between father and him.
