mooed to Meow emus why he refused to pay the
sum of re. Ad. for poor rate.—The defendant
admitting that he did not pay any rent, the Bench
ordered the amount and expenses to be paid in •

George Pike with destroying a quick-set hedge, his
property.—The complainant not being able to state
the amount of darned done and the witnesses for
the defendant declaring that good rather than harm
had been done to the ledge, the Bench dismissed
the case, the Chairman cautioning the defendant
against acting for the future in the same way.

Vincent be was discharged. A young man tamed
John Michel isia that he saw the two men coining
towards him, and as they appeared the worse for
liquor he stopped behind a tree in Mr. Wheeler's ,
orchard. When they came up to the gate
Giles took it off the hinge, and threw it down-
-Tined, in his absence, 6e. 6d. and 13a. 6d. nets.—
From what we could learn it appears that the whole
of the gates on complainant's farm were served
in the same manner, a line of conduct very mach to
be reprehended, as it is impossible to calculate the
amount of darned that might be sustained by such
foolish proceedmp. We trust the molt of this
trial will deter others from like traduce.
This being the day for verifying the returns of
parties qualified to serve on joins, the various over- ,
seen of the parishes were in attendant*. After ,
which a financial and general meeting of the High-
way Board was held.
Haaverr Thiamine° Snavicsa—On Sunday
last oillections on behalf of the Dorset County
Hospital and the Bournemouth Sanatorium were :
mails after both morning and evening services at
Blandford Church, as a thank-offering to God for ,
the late bountiful hanest.—The sermon in the
morning WY preached by the Bev. J. B. Quirk,
who took as his text Levitical aria., 9, 10,
and 14. In the coons of his remarks the rev.
godliest= stated there were times and mamas
when in an especial manner the true Christian
would feel cause for gratitude to God. Such
was the present, when the precious fruit, of the
earth had been gathered in. In a country him
England, where the population increased at
the rate of a thomand -a day, no one could
h• indifferent respecting the harvest, and there-
fore when it was considered the dangers the
precious seed was expired to from the time
of sowing to the time of reaping, and that no human
foresight could avert these dangers, it became us to
unite in hearty thanksgiving to God for his good-
DOM The temporal mercies we enjoy do not rest
upon our own exertions. At the present time when
the great grain storehouse of America was closed to
us through the civil war raging in that country, and
whilst so many thousands in the manufacturing
trete were not folly employed, a bountiful harvest
and safe ingethering was an especial blaming. The
preacher then pointed out that the conduct of the
Jews, both before reaping and after the harmst was
gathered in, was an example to Christian.. The
Bat sheaf of corn reaped was brought to the priest,
and by him amid sooramations of joy and praise by
the people, presented to God; but in this even the
fall of man was shown, for before this offering was
made • lamb as a sin offering was presented, thus
showing that the sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving
must be presented through Christ. The offering of
Cain was without this, and therefore was not ac-
cepted. The was the Deist's offering—no act of
faith was shown. As before, so after harvest, special
services were appointed. This was called the feast
of in-gathering, and on no occasion was there more
joy. Theis services of the Israelites were only
sketches or outlines of the Christian Church, and
taught us-that as God increased our stores we
should enlarge our bounties. 'There was an especial
injunction connected with this, namely, that if any
sheaf was left in the field after the harvest was
gathered in, it was to be for the stranger and the
sojourner, that he might rejoice also. This taught
us locate for such, and to be ever willing of our
means to minister to other's necessities. We should
feel something more than gladness, even thankful-
OMB, which would lead us to sot. The rev, gen-
tleman, after exhorting his hearers to cultivate a holy
and happy spirit of thankfulness, concluded his die.
oourse by commending the claims of the two institu-
tions for which their aline were asked, and stated
that the establishment at Bournemouth was for those
who were suffering from chest diseases, one of the
most fatal maladies prevalent in this country, eight
out of every 1,000 of the inhabitants suffering from
it. From 50,000 to 60,000 die annually through
consumption. The Sanatorium at Bourne had been
very sucoessfuL Out 0(146 patients who left last year
97 were either fully restored to health or greatly
benefitted, and it was the wish of the directors to
build another wing to the establishment, so as still
further to extend the benefit'. As regarded the
County Hospital all were aware of the great benefits
it conferred. During the pun year there had been
466 in-patients and 424 out-pataanta, and since its
establent 16,000 persons had participated in its
benefits. These extended over a wide area, and
therefore the helping hand should come from all
within that area. The evening sermon was also
preached by the rector, who selected as his text,
Acts sir., 17. The oollections amounted to
£2O 10s., which will give 10 sa. to each
inatitation. The members of the Bth D.R.V.,
accompanied by their officers, and preceded by both
bands, marched to church in the morning, and after
service returned to the front of the Crown Hotel,
where they wen diseased.
