Dear 131r,—As several of the members of the
"United Brothers" Loige have c implained of the
figures which appesired in the Geordie*, I thought it
advistbis to esk you to make • cornet statement in
the Telegram,. which Is as follow, .

In responding for itie-'"iftilt;tl Brothers'" Lodge,
Latakia that I held the humble position of annetary
for nearly 15 years. I find, during the last five years,
the sick and facer basefits have been rather heavy,
amounting t £327 4s. 61. for sickness, cud 04 for
deaths, which, I think ia ample tretimony to oonvinos
anyone of the benefice sl resulta of Oddfellowe. The
total number of members, Jan. lst, 1863, was 114;
amount received from members during the last year
for Sick and Funeral Fond, £167 4e. 2 I.; district
donations, £25; sick psy to membsrs, £74 61. IL;
funeral benelita, £3O; the total value of the lodge,
Tan. 14, £739 10s. Si., which, considering the heavy
amount mid for benefite during the past few years, is
very satisfactory. Happy Le toe man who knows not
sickness; bat still happier is he who, by his own
prudence and linthought, hoe Frorlded against sick•
nese and distress.

THS DORCHESTER "AMATEURS."
To Oa Editor.

Dear a visitor in Dorchester I happened to
attend the Amateur Minstrel performance at the
Town Hall, and was agreeably surprised to witness so
much local talent. Perhaps no one without the pole of
dramatic experience can have full idea of the vast
amount of lab .nr, hot, and discretion—ho say no-
thing of native talent—necessary to bib* to snob
perfection an entartainmsnt like that of Friday
last. The musical—both vocal and instramental—
portions of the evening were rendered with taste,
and oftau with moots ability, and the dramatic
attempta, were, on the whole, worthy of oomparisou
with those frequently given at Poole, Bruldpmrt.4
and other Dorset towns. That the "
of the c ,unty should be without a dramatic club or
aciety, is indeed remarkable. It was on making
subsequent inquiriee that I was astonished to learn
the historic old town was minus such • society. As
an am tour appiaring before provincial footlisltta
many times during the post nine ye*" your local
readers will forgive me if I venture to advocate
the formation of inch • club or society. Believe
me, many pleasant evenings can be spent by kg
members, and in • wealthy and influential neighlbour-
hood such am Dorchester is proud of, there would
be no lack of subscribers and bon. members who
would all the society in poseeseing within a brief
perixl a desirable wardrobe. Once started, such a
society proves a boon to its town • it stet/pitiless
the t fellowship which already exists, and
at any period the members would be ham') to
sacrifice • little leisure for philanthropic or charit-
able purposes—l am, sir, yours faithfully,
" Vamp."

To show the little reliance placed on the bluster of

Mr. Garland threw up the sponge he issued a Pacird
on which occurred the words "Mr. Muller, swing the

bellied the scenes is that on a pill Mr. Muller would
have had • very substantial majo ity, and nothing, it
