PETTY SESSIONS.

DZIDPOZT.
NEW 000FELLOW8 HALL.

The southern portion of the Old Cards, South-street,
was formally opened on Thursday evening for the
Brniport imyal Great West.rn Lodge of Oddfellows.
The chandeliers were decorated with greenery, and
the walls in various p wt. of the hall were relieved by
pleasing mottoes and devices in artificial flowers and
overgrew,. The royal initials YR.' having a
centrsl crown formed a dazzling illumine ion outside
the building.
The antique building, which occupied a pleasant
site on the east of South-suet, was burned down
some year. ago thrmgh an accidental outbreak ..f
lire at some premise. in the rear. Sub-equentlrAthare
premised' were purchased and restored by Mr. ,
brewer' who kindly offered one portion to the Working
Men's Association, and the remainder to the Odd-
fellows. The Working Men's Institute at once
accepted the offer, and the members have been
occupying their quarters (which they held before the
fire occurred), for more than a year. The Oddfellows.
however, declined the offer of the new building, and
for a long period it was subject for much unblic
sperulatiou—what would be the ultimate use for the
hall. .

Strange as it may sound, the Oddfellows, after the
offer had been declined, waited upon the donor, and
signified their w4lliageers to accept the offer, and
stranger still, Mr. Legg allowed them to enter into
possession.
The generous donnr was himself present at the
dinner, which was ably presided over b his Worship,
the Mare (Charles )dmunds, Fog). A largo number
of the officers and brethren of the lo Ige, including
several local Foresters, were present and an enj..yable
and convivial evening was spent. The repast, an ex-
cellent one, which gave every satisfaction to bawdy
900 guest., was nerved up by Most W. Trump in his
usual finished style.

DORCHESTER DEBATING SOCIETY.
To as Siam%

Sir,—l saw in a meet issue of the &prat the
account of a meeting bold in Doresestar, for the
purpose of establishing a Debating Society.
From what I know of Dorcherter, I should say that
all the needful materials for the suocessiul construc-
tion of such a society existed there.
Few thing. in my opi Edon are more useful than Debat-
ing Societies. They aced both amusement and Meteor-
don, during the long winter months, to all those who
take put In them. They give an interest and a
direction to our reading and often lead one to pt
up 'objects, liable otherwise to be entirely neglected.
Even silent members of • Debating Society—and
there always exist some of them—may learn much
from what falls from the lips of others
At the meeting to which I have r.l reed, there was
some difference of opinion a. to whether discussions
should take plam upon pol.ticala,l religious questions,
and It was ultimately decided in the affirmative In
both cases.

As to the advisability of admitting politica, I can
hardly understand bow this should have caused any
diff.rence of opinion, for political questions form the
staple food of most debating societies. AS to the
advisability of holdhat discussions noon religious
questions, although those present decided by • ma-
jority in favour o it, I think that they did not really
mean all that their resolution woul el involve. Every
debating society with which I am acquainted has, as
one of its rules, that "there be n discurion of reli-
gious question.;" but then the question is, what lea
religion. question? Quo stions such a. tithe., church
rates, the Burials Bill, the Yotabliehntent of the
Church, the Decatur' Wife'. B..ter it 11. etc., etc.,
are not religious questions, but questions, and
they an, therefore. all fit sulgjgcta fo. disons•ion. By
the excluai ni of " religiou• leh,tirg so-
cieties invariably mean the exclusion of all onestione
relating ti dogma and religious belief; and a. I d.. not
for one moment suppose that anyone present at the
meeting in question intended that these subject.
should be debated, I think that those present would
have done wisely to have excluded religious questions
from their programme.
One gentleman said that the diem:test .n of political
questions would lead to bitterness and party feeling
I have never found this to be the case toyed( and I
believe that my experience in this matter is Ilso the
experience of others. There la only one thing to be
avoided, and that is, with all respect to your, eir, the
presence of reporters. At • dehating society, where
people are beginning to find their oratorical leg., it Is
not advisable that they should be hampered by any
fear that a "a chicle among ye takin' notes, and,
faith, 6.11 prent it."

142. were given • Chriatmaa treat, in the shape of •

nected with the echool. In the sonscription Bat we
fiod the aunts :—H. L 1). 'Cruchard, Bal., C. J.
Parke, Esq., and Her. W. hi. Heath. Much pain.
had been taken to make the affair • success, for, in

ance by recraitin,g their services to that of the teach-
ing staff of the school, and forming a god "army .if

articles for the tree, which proved • great help. After
the tea a pnblic mettins or entertainment wee held,
presided over by Mr. Miller, vice-chairman of the
:School Board, to which all parents and frien Is had
been cordially invited. It opened with the Christmas
hymn, " While shepherds watched," and the pro-
gramme which fell ,wed consisted of songs, readings,
recitation., and dialogue.. Pb. following deserve
praise for recitations :—May Millq (Ti), Ada Borbrote
(Ti), Minnie Oilman, Jemims Miller. Barbara Butt,
and M. J. Holloway (5). The drama, " Ashton
Guadiana," embracing fonitten distinct characters,
was much appreciated, for, apart from the good
moral "thrift" which it bring. out very prominently,
the boys exhibited that soundness of judgment in
argument whieh older heads only could have shown,
and this latter was conspicuous in Ut. dialogue

DOISIVI INDOSLIIIAL SCHOOL..

Hr. H. B. UIDDLITON rose to make the following
resolution :—" That the resolution passed at the
Beater Quarter Sessions, 1880, In referenoe to the
maintenance of boya sent to the Milborne Industrial
School, be amended, so as to include boys committed
to such school by borough justices."
Mr. hiunseL-Pi.rmem, said be opened the school
with the full understanding county b ys would be sent,
and that he should receive. not 3s. 6d. per head per
week as a grant from the amity, but is. a week, of
course including what was receivod from the Govern-
ment. He engaged a master, a very excellent
master, who he was rare was very fit for his duties,
and went to great expense in getting the school
into good order, and during the whole throe months
he had had fir* boys sent from the county of
Dorset, one an idiot and three from the county
of Poole, and the whole sum he should receive
for them would be about £l2. Ho had also since
the great disturbance at St. Paul's Industrial School,
Borough-road, London, applied to the inspector of In-
dust:Jai Schools, stating the Dorset school was empty,
and he would be glad to take any boys they like to send,
and Let week he received tains, thus toe school at this
moment held 18 sane boys and one idiot. (Laughter.)
Attar three months' hard work, and he might say six
months' preparation in getting everything in es sood
order as possible, he could not but feel—end the Oourt
must feel with him—that it was a failure. Something
ought to be done, and one way of filling the echool was
the adoption of Hr. Middleton'. motion. Hs begged
to second the proposition as a sort of tentative, at all
events, to this school for county boys, for be should be
sorry, indeed, to have to go round to other pane for
boya. He would he prepared to pay a certain portion
of the expensec of the school out of his own pocket, but
be really could not undertake to keep the school on if
it was only to be occupied by about five or six boys
from D .rset.

The Rev. C. J. °LYS said thee would all deplore if
Mr. Mansel-Pleydell were obliged to give up this
school after so much had been said about it for the last
four or five years by friends in that ro no. He only
trusted when there VIM an opportunity given to persons
who were interested in that charity fund there would
be more money panted for the school, and towards the
expenses Mr. Ifansel.Pleydell had incurred, lie
thought it would be sad in see him loom perhaps Cl:so—
hear)—after what be had done in glviog up that
excellent Institution the reformatory. and ',tern'sw than
which none in the world could be better. He rh might
if Mr. Middleton's motion were carrie boys would be
sent from the boroughs.
Ultimately them °tient was unanimously carried.
The Court soon afterwards scljourn•d.
