here to enjoy the pleasant mass and Invigorating air
of the locality.

Chambers gave a very interesting and muting
lecture in the Congregational :-'chooiroom on "bloc.
wenna's Poet-Priat," which pleased all who beard
him, but the audience was smell as it was wet, • num-

We are pleased to notice the greet improvements
that are being effected in WO-street. The old well
opposife the Purbeck House and ttpcingdane is pulled
down and • new ornamental one erected la its place.
The footway is put back several feet, and the street
made math wider from Spring-lane to King Alfred's-
pt ca. The houses latel,y occupied by Mr. J. Coffin
and other@ are nearly all down sad the space cleared,
but we bear there are to be others put op fo,ther
back, and with the slumber of hand' now employed by
Mr. Burt, we have no doubt It will soon be done I
so that by the time the visitors arrive they will scarcely
know the town again. At the last le cal Board Meet-
ing it was decided that improvements should be carried
out in Hop-about-lane, which me needed, sad also that

four feet above the new entrantce to the boys' Plal
