Tall BURIAL or Swami, —The uniortionate young
man Storer, seemed of the wilful eluzder by pobass
of Miss Blake, who committed maiekle, and us
respect to which the verdict of the jury wits jelo de
re, was interred in Fisherton Cemetery, on the
Devizes road, without any other ceremony than thw
rude singing and still ruder behaviour of a large
gathering of "roue:a" The cortege left Atherton
Gaols little before 10 o'clock, and, besides the prison
officials entrusted with the interment of the corpse,
consisted chiefly of an ever increasing rabble, until
the cemetery was reached. As expressing their
feeling upon the "ceremony," or the want of it, the
rOtighs sang the well known couplet:—

" Rattle his bones over the stones,
He's only • pauper whom nobody owns?
I It is said that an inquiry will be made concerning
the discipline of the prison, which renders it postale
'for a prisoner to commit suicide.

HEYTESBURY.

P.' WEDDING Fmrperstitt —Thursday was again (ley
ffn, this town ` calmed by the marriage of Miss
Perifinnali Parry, of:, Heyteebury, to Mr. William
Hard Petty, of Canford, Dorset.. A bridal always
muisee a great stir in a neighbourhood, but there are
occasions when it is of more interest than usual, and
this interest grows the more intense when either
party bad been previously engaged in good works in
the( pariah. Thu being the case with Miss Parry,
whia was an active teacher of the Sunday school and
• faithful member of the Church choir, all Hertel'L . ry was up said doing to show honour to the bride
d i her family. The venerable church being n the
" of the restorer, .the wedding took place in the
'National Schoolroom (which is licensed for Divine
worship), the approaches to which were beautifully
decerated with evergreens and appropriate motto*
as was also the interior of the room itself. The
lint-rate arrangements of the- itholi> proceedings are
highly creditable to the ladies and gentlemen of
Heytesbury. _
,Among the many who assembled to
ziy respoot to the young bride were two little
members of the Infant Schools, who toddled up to
the altar (under the guidance of their governess),
and presented a bouquet each lo Mrs. Petty. The
service was performed by.therViesx, waisted by the
Rev. R. D. Mead.

Tuesday last. Lord Walaingham was the priaolsaY
speaker, and the tenor of his obeervations was that the,
government had not done enough by trey of precattlim„.
to the metropolis the Orders in Connell are Imperative
and supreme; in country distri-ta they are merely per.
mi,sive. Lord Waleingham Galled upon the club to pme
a reeolution, urging upon governmest the neessistty of
making the orders uniform throughout the country, sag
so taking the decision from the heeds &loyal astlndities,
and the rmoluiden van passed unenimonsly. Theresalt
of this may easily be for-seen. It is not likely that

A heavy ple was blowing at the time, and no sail being

cleared from the wreck. It being impossible to save the
vessel by taking her into any port, a signal of distress
wag set, and at six am, of the Ramie day the crew were

The PROJWT—ED BaILIVA-T. —There is Will presented
to us the bright and alluring vision of a railway for
this district, but whether it is to assume actual shales
or form, or, like its precursors, emcee us for a while,
and then melt into thin air, I will not attempt to pre.
diet. The intended line is entitled the Bridport, Lyme,
and South Coast Railway, and is to connect the Great
Western at Brrdport with the South-Weatern at •
point &boot midway between Axminster and Chard
Road, throwing off a branch at Whitolrareh for Lyle...
It is this branch which is to pass through this pies*.
The first Charenouth mead is the spot selected for the
I station. After passing Charinouth, the proposed rums
will snake a considerable detour; the distance from
' Lyme, which is about two miles by the road, would be
about four by the proposed rail. The only work of any
difficulty in the neighbourhood would be a tunnel of
847 yArds, between this and Lyme, and through the bill
near Pon Inn. Pitelesives, a field near the cemetery, is to
be the tlrminus at Iglus. The maps and plans of so
much as relates to this parish are now at the clerk's for
inspection, and • bill is to be brought into Parliament
during next seeroot There can be no doubt but that •
railway would bee very material benefit tone, and if it
should be carried out, as we hope it will, the twenties of
Charmouth will then, no doubt, attract a lane anise of
public, attention.

MIURA IN A CART.

She wasn't a bad wife, but she had a temper. If she '
could have parted with that one article at a sacrifice, I
wouldn't have swopped her away in exchange for any I
other woman in England. Not that I ever did swop'l
her away, for we lived together till she died, and that
was thirteen year. Now my lords and ladies and gentle-
folks all, 11 let you into a secret, though you won't be-
lieve it. Thirteen year of temper in • Pidsce would try I
the worst of you, but thirteen year of temper in a Cart
would try the best of you You are kept so very close
to it in a cart you see. There's thousands of couples
among you, getting on like sweet ile upon a whetstone
in houses five and six mum of stairs high, that would go
to the Divorce Court in a cart. Whether the jolting'
makes it worse, I don't undertake to dmide, hot in a
esti it does come home to you and stick to Teri. Wiolence
in a cart is so wioleut, and aggrawation in 'a cart Is id
aggrawating.
We might have had such a pleasant life I A roomy
cart, with the large goods hung outside and the bed
slung underneath it when on the road, an iron pot and
a kettle, a fireplace for the cold weather, a chimney for
the stoke, a hanging shelf and • cunboaid, a dog, and
a horse. What more do you wart? You draw off
upon a bit of turf in a green lane or by the roadside,
you hobble your old horse and turn him grazing, you
light your fire upon the ashes of the last visitors, you
cook your stew, and you wouldn't call the Emperor of
France your father. But have a temper in the cart,
flinging language and the hardest goods in stock at you,
and where are you then? Put a name to your feelings
My dog knew as well when she was on the turn as I
did. Before she broke out, he would give a howl, and
bolt, flow he knew it, was a mystery to me, but the
sore and certain knowledge of it would wake him 110
out of his soundest F lee p, and he would give a howl, and
bolt. At such times I wished I was him.

BATH AND WEST OF ENGLAND AGRICULTURAL
Sociwrv.—We are informed that the statement
which has appeared in several of our contemporaries
to the effect that the shcw of this society will not be
held in 1866, on account of the cattle plague, is
unfounded. The society includes so much in the
scheme of its operations, that it is, we believe, felt
unnecessary to put off its annual meeting on account
of a failure in one of its departments. The agricul•
tural machinery, poultry, art manufactures' and fine
arts' shows will be held as usual; and the exhibition
of machinery is expected to be of unusual magnitude
nil importance in consequence of the Royal Agri.
nitural Society's meeting having been given up.
here is reason to hope that all the great engineering
firms will be largely represented, especially as the
vicinity of Southampton will afford great facilities
fir the shipment of machinery brought by agents
from abroad.

IN HERE ARE THE POLICE?
To the Editors.

GENTLEMEN,—Me paragraph under the above
beading, last week, has thoroughly aroused the
police stationed at Portland, and they have been
very active night and day ever since. But it is not
the conduct iif the men, but smallness of their number
that the inhabitants have to complain of, there being
only three allotted to this large and important die•
triot for both night and day duty. It is, therefore,
evident that only two can be on duty at one time,
and I am bold to say that each would have enough to
do to traverse the whole of the roads, streets, alleys,
once only during a single turn on duty. Look,
for instance, at the case of the officer doing duty
under the hilL Parties intent on committing any
depredation have only to watch him go off on his
beat to the ferry•bridge, where he has to meet the
W 3 ke policeman once during the night, and they are
certainithat the villages of Chesil, Fortune's well,
and Caigle Town, are safe from the police supervision
for at least two hours to come. If we are to have
police, surely we ought to have a sufficient number
to be able to do their duty in an efficient manner.
I am, gentlemen, itc.,

COUNTY POLICE, Thursday. —Before J. Gundry, req.,
W. Hounsell, 'Lg., and B. P. Gundry,
John iellaway, of A4erswell, applied that Baker
Sprake, a well-known character, be bound over to keep
the peace. Defendant had threatened his life three
times in a week, and he was in bodily fear.—Mr. Sprake
said that some time ago he was much "put out" by
complainant saying he was going to leave the country,
which was done to get some money from him. Bella-
way offered money to different persons to swear he was
going, and gota writ honed against Mimed for £lBO,
which he said he owed him, whereas he was not in-
debted to him one farthing, and that exasperated him
very much.—Complainant said defendant had broken
his windows.—Deferdant said that was d ne in fun !
Defendant was called on to find sureties himself in £5O,
and two sureties in £25 each that he keep the peace for
six months.
