DOG POISONING.

As many of your readers are aware, I was
particularly unfortunate last year in having some
very valuable dogs poisoned by "strychnine," and
although emetics were freely given, three out of the
four died. I therefore inquired of an able professional
man, and he informed me that such remedies were
usually of no avail against "strychnine,' but that the
only remedy likely to prove successful was
administering strong spirit, such as brandy, both down
the throat and also by injection. About a week ago
I hml the nd+fortune to be compelled to try this
remedy. My .1.1 brood Pointer bitch Juno had got
out of the yard into the street unol.erved, and shortly
afterwards returned, ci Mealy She
on her side, drew herself up and Wag rigid. I
initaediatly ran for brandy, and one way and the
other gave her three 'arts of a wine bottle full, and
although she had several more fits she gradually
recovered. • I then gave her a strong dose of castor-
oil, and she is now quite well, and all poisoning is now
the order of the day, I think every dog owner ought
to know this fact, strychnine being the general poison
used.—J. C. COUPL —Front the "Lice Stock Journal."

causes ~f the catastrophe. Ile fir.h went to the scene

Marsh, the engineer, who has been requested by the

THE LATE SUICIDE AT OSNIINGTON.
7;fi Me Editor.

Sir,—l feel sure that you will kindly give me room in
your paper to correct some mistatements that were made
by Anna Emma Morley, at the coroner's inquest, held at
ossnington, upon the Isely of her unfortunate ho-band,
the ac tint of which inquest, appeared in your last
week's issue. She charges me with deceiving her husl.nd,
in getting him front Swansea, with being only a wheel-
wright, with not providing them with a cottage, and with
not paying her for work done. I engaged George Morley
by letter, agreeing to give him 21s. per week and his house
and garden, and these were his wages during the whole of
the time that he was in my employ, exclusive of over-
time; he sometimes making as much as Os. per week
overtime. I also rented a nice cottage and garden of Mr.
Thomas Lowman, which they occupied during the time
they remained with toe. I have always had more carriage
painting to do all the time that he was with me than he
could accomplish, so that I have had to urge him on to
greater quickness, and indeed to get some work done in
other ways in order to satisfy my customers, who have
complained, with reB6oll, at toy keeping their carriages no
long on band, their detention being entirely due to the
slowness of the painter. A, to my not paying her for
work done, I can only state that I paid weekly for any
work she did for me. Both the late George Morley and
Anna Emma Morley have expressed (before witness.)
their satisfaction at their change in coining here, that his
health had been greatly benetitted by the change; his
fellow-workmen can testify that he was happy and con-
tented in his work, and was unwilling to leave it, but
was compellisl 1..0 do soon, ing to the ungovernable temper'of
his wife, and I don't hesitate to say that unhappiness was
entirely due to her temper and profane tongue. Many are
thankful that she is gone from the village, considering her
extunple in the way of temper and speech, as being
calculated to corrupt the minds of any who might listen
I remain, Sir.
Your obedient servant,
CHARLES Tot Loft.

CRICKET CLEM—This go-ahead club had their supper
on Thursday evening at the It 'yet Victoria Hotel. Mr.

ing the credit of that excellent hotel. Mr. Bristowe made
an efficient chairman, and there were present :—Mr.
Barnes, the kindly judge, Mr. Crocker, Mr. Hoeft, who is.,
among the leaders of the rinh, Mr. !lodation, whose spirit
makes him a exist useful member in spite of Isis accident,

varied with singing, and the time was convivially passed.
I DROWNED SAILOR.—About H o'clock on Thursday, the
body of a man was found washing ashore on the Chesil
Beach, near to where the Royal Adelaide was wrecked.
Ile his supposed to be a seaman and had been in the
water along time, being without head or hands. He was
dressed in a Guernsey smock and top boots, apparently
the body of a merlhant seaman or fisherman. Informa-
tion was given to the coroner, who at once ordered the
body to be buried, which was accordingly done on
Thursday evening shortly before eight, in the burial
ground, Castletown. The assistant overseer (Mr. Seriven)
gate the necessary instructions respecting the interment,
the expenses of which, we believe, will have to be paid by
thee minty. .

DISTRILIVTION OF PRIZE.I.—A full dress parade of the
4th Dorset Artillery was held itt the Drill hall on
Wednesday evening, when after Major Eliot had given
the men an hour's trill they marched back to the drill
hall, where was a table arranged with the various prizes
gained in the late carbine competition at the East Weir

distributed the prizes, which we published last week.
Other ladies were present, and before the men were
dismissed Major Eliot tendered in their name a vote of
thanks to Mrs. Maclean for her kindness in being present,
and to the various donors of the prizes for their liberality
in coining forward to help provide such excellent sport
for the men. In addition to our list the following were

assembly of scholars who were gathered in the schoolroom
on Thursday last, to meet those who take a well-merited
interest in the progress of this excellent schooL The
rooms had been adorned with nags, mottoes, itc., suitable
to the OCC•11011, prominent among them being that motto
which has been so fully justified by the persevering Heads
Master—" Labor onatua Vncit"
The platform was oceup eil by the Mayor (Mr. Lundie),
supported by the Head Master (Rev. J. Miller), Mr. R. s.
Eliot, ii'., and Mr. J. Robertson, J.P. and immediately
in front were a large and diatinguished assembly of the
principal inhabitanta of Weymouth.
Punctuality u the order of the day at this school ; very
evidently was it no on this occasion, for the usual
quarter of an hour granted aa "grace' in most Weymouth
meeting, was annulled on this occasp,n, and the proceed-
ings commenced "sharply," at the time announced, half-

RICOKITT'S PARIS BLUE.

CAITTIO-,r

The marked superpulty of this Laundry Blue overall
others, awl the quick appreciation of its merits by the
Public. has been attended by the usual result—viz., a
flood of imitations: the merit of the latter mainly
consists in the ingenuity exerted, not simply in
imitating the sq are shape, but making the general
appearance of the wrappers resemble that of the
genuine artic:e. The Manufacturers beg th.refore to
caution all buyers to see " Reckitt's Paris Blue' on

A SUBSTANTIAL CHRISTMAS GIFT.

Would any of our readers like us to put them
in the way of knowing how to bestow upon a
particular friend one of the best of Christmas
gifts I Yes I Well, let them buy two or three
shires in the new Abbotabury Railway, and
n,loi theta neatly enveloped, and endorsed
"With the best wishes of yours affectionately"
—They won't regret it. It is bound to be a
success, at least we are told an by men living in
the neighbourhood, clear-headed quick-witted
men, who show their sincerity of belief by
throwing their own capital into the affair. The
shares are being taken up rapidly; therefore,
speculators should bear in mind the Showman's
admonition—" Be in time."

POPUL %VON STATISTICS OP QUZEMSLAND. —From report
presePted to the Parliament of Queensland, and issued
no or anthorirv. it appears that the Birth-rate for the
v r it7ti, was 371: Msrriage-rate, persons, 151, and the
M rtdity ISS per cent. of the population.
SOUTH Auenutra.—The Agent General for South
Australia (Sir Arthur Birth, 11.C.M.G.) luts received the
following telegram from the Government at Adelaide,
dated the ISth met,: "Total amount remitted by the
Cilonists of South Australia in aid of the Maims Relief
Fund, .ClO,OOO. The emigrant vessels " Queen of Nations"
and "R inyv," had arrived safely nt Port Adelaide, all
well. The barest prospests we, is fair, and there would
be adout 240010 tons of brevist.id for exnortation."
SIC kM TRAMWAYS ROM IMELAND.—A company has
been registered, as will be seen from tho lett....r of our
Dublin correspondent, for the purpose of constructing
steam tramways in Ireland. There are many
districts in that country in which tramways cheaply
constructed and worked by steam would prove not
only remunerative to the pr imoters, but of great value
in developing the resources of that rich country, and
in bringing traffic to oxistiog rAilway companies. The
company has been registered by Ntr. William Abbott,
who has been connected with most of the successful
tramway companies in this country. His experience
in these matters will be valuable in the development
of this new enterprise in Ireland. —Bailwey NA,.
