upon the temperance cause in the same way. As
the old veterans were passing away there wan a strong
army growing up, who would shout "We will be brave."
He thought it was • shame that the temperance cause in
Dorchester should have to bide its bead, and believed that

would work well together, make their influence felt, and,
as they hal a hard battle before them, would point their
guns straight toils. enemy. Teetotalism was as old as
the world. Adam was a teetotaller; and they were
certainly in the majority, for more than half of the
world were teetollers, some of mightiest men were
teetotallers, and some of the greatest heroes had never
allowed strong drink
of k within their tents. Things, too,
were getting c about now. The queen England
as the president of the Church of England 'temperance
;misty, Prince Leopold was a staunch teetotaller. the
Bishops and Archhops were on their side, and the
clergy were joining in large numbers. (Applause.) They
were thus getting into the higher circles. In explanation
of the word temperance the rev, speaker said they meant
total abstinence from everything that warn evil, and
moderation in everythlnuthat was good. In conclusion
he said the bottle was still raging; they had come, as it
were, to the wall, but had not battered it down, but they
rend each be faithful, each do his utmost, and he prayed
that God would speed the work in that halt. (Applause.)-
The Chairman here presented a copy of Moody and
Bankey's hymns, with music, to Messrs. F. Green and
T. Curtis, on behalf of the Dorchester Total Abstinence
In recognition of their services, and after • few

WRYNOI7TE.

INSPECTION OF THE BOROUGH POLICE.—On Thursday
morning at half-past 10 Captain Willis, H.M. inspector.
reviewed the borough police force at the Gurlhbli.
a
There are—Superinten tent Vickery, Sergeants Harvey and
Apsey, and 12 constables. The force, who had been
taken on rather a short notice, looked smart and clean,
and the Inspector said the clothes looked very well.
Superintendent Vickery showed a specimen of the new
summer helmet, worn by the London police.
THE DETAINED COUNCILLOR'S Gowe.—On Tuesday the
case of Richard Traveu, charged with unlawfully detain-
ing Mr. Councillor Wallis's gown, was called on again
before the borough magistrates; but neither party
appeared and the case was dismissed. We understand
that Mr. Wallis has obtained possession of his gown.
Ties THEFTS DY A Szaverr. Mary Ilarford was
brought up on remand at the Borough Petty Sessions,
before Mr. J. Ayling, Mr. James Milledge, and Mr. W.
Talbot, charged with stealing • towel from Mr. Job
Abbott. The theft of a silver spoon was also charged
against her, and she was sentenced to twenty-eight dug
hard labour.
ADDITIONAL CURATES.—The congreptions of Ho
Trinity and St. John's made special efforts in behalf Oi
the society for providing additional cumtes in populous
places, on Sunday. The preachers were the Rev. V.
F. Mumma, MA.. Rev. A. J. Ingram secretary of the
society, and the Rev. W. Clifford. district organising
secretary.
SUNDAY SCHOOL ANNIVERSARIES. The Rev. .1. J.
Prescott, of Cardiff, preached the epeeist sermons on
Sunday, in connection with the Wesleyan Sunday
school, Maiden-street, and the scholars sang sputa
hymns. The Baptist Sunday schools had their anniversary
services on the same day, when the Rev. J. Bailey, the
pastor, preached ; at Bank buildings Chapel also the
special hymns were sung by the scholars.
THIATRE ROYAL.—That old Weymouth favourite and
successful manager Mr. F. Neebe, opens the Theatre
during the Race Week, with his talented dramatic
I company. There will be comic songs by Mr. Nordic, and
fancy dances by young ladies, in fact everything to make
• succession of agreeable entertainments during the Race
Week.
FUNERAL OF Mn. J. D. HARVEY.—Mr. Harvey was
buried on Wednesday afternoon at Osmington. He was
followed by the Rev. B. Harvey, of Manchester, Mrs. B.
Harvey Rev. B. Ilarvey, jun., of Bath, Mr. Hodder, Mr,
John Ford, manager of the Waterworks, and Mr. Harreys'
two Juvenile guides. Mr. Harvey was in his 88th year.
INN:DINT ROBBCRY. —On Wednesday afternoon
last, • woman impudently went inside Mrs. fieymours'
shop in St. Thomas strut, and took • pair of boots from
under • dress. A neighbour opposite saw her in the act,
and gave information to Mrs. Seymour, who followed her
through St. Albans street, St. Mary street, and Bond
street, back into St. Thomas street where she caught the
woman, who denied having come into the shop. The
boots, however were found concealed behind her hack,
and she was afterwards arrested by P.C. Carter. She is
apparently &French woman.
CARTER FALLING OFF KM WROCION.—On Friday night,
John Norman, carter for Mr. Lipecombe, was passing
round by the steam saw mills, Commercial-road, when be
became giddy, and fell off the waggon to the road. Ile
was picked up insensible, and was taken into the saw
mill. where Dr. Rhodes attended him, and advised his
removal to the Hospital. He was taken there, and
attended by Drs. Moorhead and Griffin. The poor old
man—he is 67 years of age, and has been carter for Mr.
Lipscomb' over 30 years—was in a very weak state ; but
Mr. Dobson kindly went his own carter, with the home
and man, to Dorchester.

DEATH OF AN OLD INHABITANT.—On Saturday evening
Mr. James Dunning Harvey • very old inhabitant, died at
Mr. Hodder's coffee house, St. Thomas-street Mr.
Harvey's father was one of the promotersof the Weymouth
Water Works Company, and the son was engineer of the
works for several years. The deceased was a P.M. of the
Freemasons; be entered the Weymouth Town Council in
November, 1811, and was chosen alderman in 1011, con-
tinuing in that position till 11350, when he left the Council.
Per some years Mr. Harvey has been blind and feeb_ •
but he has only been in bed a fortnight. Mr. Hodder has
shown him great kindness and attention during the whole
time that Mr. Harvey has lodged with him. The place of
deceased's burial is Osmington.
Gees r Iscuesioxs.— On Saturday morning, about
1,300 operative shoemakers and their friends, the
men from Messrs. Durham Brothesr factory, Bristol,
arrived in two special trains, the fisrt about
ten o'clock. Immediately after came • large South'
Western incursion, and the railway officials were exceed-
ing busy that forenoon, for ther4 also arrived the other
shoemakers' train, and the ordinary Great Western from
Bristol, and two incursion trains from London followed.
The difference in use between the shoemakers and their
friends and the ordinary visitors was very noticeable, the
majority of the sons of St. Crispin seemed to be a few
inches shorter than the average height, and even the
ladies were not up to the usual west country size.
Ter. FATAL ACCIDENT FROM THE lONA. Further
information has reached us that it was not the lona, bet
another yacht of somewhat similar name, which lost •
man at Dover regatta. The name of the poor man who
was drowned on Tuesday was Taylor, from Shoreham.
He bad been engaged for the day from the Juliet, Lord
Cremorne's yacht, and had been hauling up the
thspinnaker
boom, when he passed down the halliards to e deck;
but pitched on the rail, and thence fell backward over-
board. He rue again, and threw up his arms, when they
threw him a lifebuoy, and as soon as possible launched
the lifeboat; but the poor fellow could not be seen ; be
bad sunk. Ho leave, no family, being, indeed, a single
man.
Tim Peutrer Sitow.—The Weymouth Poultry, Pigeon,
and Cage Bird Association has won • success far beyond
what, was anticipated, even, we should think, by its
promoters. No doubt this is greatly owing_ to the
energetic way in which the honorary secretary, Mr. R. T.
Atkins, has devoted time and energies to the cause, as
well as to judicious selection of the time beet suited to
such • show in Weymouth. Over 100 entries form such a
Proof of public appreciation that the Association may
well announce that -its exhibition is an annual one. The
Market-house is a capital place for the exhibition, and we
can only wonder at the success of the managers in
obtaining so good • position. Wednesday and Thursday
next scathe days of exhibition. The prize list will con-
tain awards to the amount of £l5O besides silver cups,
and the public, as well as fanciers, will look forward enth
great interest and expectation for the continued success
of this legitimate attempt to add one more to the many
attractions of the town.
