the death of an of favetrite ia Weymou h, is the
days of the thee*,, in Augusta-OMM. We allude. to
Mr. William soialy; wanly of Leedom tniuty of whose
WA- reletires m eym ide Ili Wouth. Th.recaeted formerly helondeti to this circuit of theatres,
and through his unremitting attention to his profoiaien,
became, and renutioed for • considerable time, acting
manner to the new Adelphi Theatre, London. Up to
the time of hi, death he carried out the bu.inese of
•dvettising agent for most of the principal theatres in
London, Including Covent Garden, Surrey, &cc. The
demand was is Weymouth only a short time previous
to his death, which WY quite Sudden, and the news ef
whirr& was received with much surprise by his
numerous friends. He was the author of several
dramatis works, ihs Nuooesess of which have been very
great, and which will remain luting tirounnients of his
literary ability.
POPULSIIintADINOL Same of our young townefolk,
who have been favourably received ou former ocoasions,
lately resolved to devote their talents and enlist the
'moistense of their friends, in getting up an entertain.
"Dent in order to help defray the debt on the organ at
Holy Trinity Chetah. After the nasal difficulties in
getting anything of this kind fairly into *inlets order
had been surmount, d, the matter progreaaed steadily.
and on Tuesday evening/ the entertainment some off
with very onneiderable encases at the new Assembly
Rooms. Market-street, which had bema kindly lent for
the occasion by his Worship the Meyer. The chair was
taken by Mr. J. J. Rolle, and among those present
were the Rev. J. D. Addison, incumbent of Holy
Tnnity, Rev. V. V. Winsome, and many of the oongre•
lotion of that church. The company was select rather
than numerous, ytt the room was sonifortably filled.
Mt. G. Thorne, organist of Wyke cherish end assistant
organist of tit. JOllrea, presided at the pianoforte with
his usual artistic taste and power, and Mmors
Maunders, Knee, Corn, Sweffield, and Jones composed
• full bend, and very charmingly oommemoil the enter-
teinment with the rmusrk•ble overture to Fi a Dismal.),
being received with with well.deserved applause. Mr.
It. Legg read an amusing seleotion—" Mr. Sprout's
opinions on Chignons," being • co.ter-usonger's schemes
for abolishing these ugly masses of false hair. Mr. Leu
read in a neat unaffected way that exempted him from
criticiam, and gained him good opinion., and applause.
Mr. Rowland sang "Her Bright Smile haunts me still,"
with that peculiarly chute and elegant expression
which has already gained him great fevour in other
parts of the county. Mr. F. G. Style followed with •
poetical reading doscribing the terrible position and
firm resolve of the betide garrison at the famous
fortress, and the gallant relief by the Highlanders; in
the first part the determination of the English was
well expressed by Mr. Style's manly tones, and the
tale of the rescue was told with • jubilant etpression
that made one feel again ileniavrhat of the joy of the
rescued. "What are the Wild Waves saying?" had
been set down in the programme for Mies Bartlett and
Mr. Oruwys ; but the lady being prevented from attend-
mg, her place was very kindly filled by Miss Puree,
Who made • most favourable impression by her ulcer
voice and modest deportment, while Mr. Cruwye's efforts
are always welcome, although the song lost *great deal,
no doubt from their not having ;remised suflioiently to
bleed their voices so well es might have been desired.
Mr. Rowland then sang the line song, "Simon the
Cellarer," with distinctness and sharpness, accompanied
with expression that brought out the {humour of the
song ; • little more roundness and modulation would
have been an improvement. Mr J Thorne executed
a charming pianoforte solo, in which the principal
beauties were teuderness and musical effect. rather
than those fireworks of sound uocasionally affected,
though the concluding pileups were full of spirit ; the
whole wu to performed as to draw immense applause.
Miss Pearce swig sole, "Sparkling Streauilet," marked
, by much clearness, expression, and coneiderable so. die
fairs, although the position of soloist most, to a young
' lady comparatively unaccustomed to It in public,
' be very trying. She was most deurvtelly encored, and
kindly responded with, "Norah's Treasure,' in even
' sweeter style- The band next played the overture to
"The Caliph of Bagdad," in that artistic manner which

delighted. 11r. Crew's sang "Ten minutes too late,"
and everybody was pleased, and will be more on filtere
occasions when Mr. Ciuwys can realise that he is a
favourite, and is more at ease. He was encored, The
Chairman having given the thanks of the meeting to the
Mayor for the use of the teem, to the Revs, J. I).
Addison and V. F. Ranzoine for being present, to the
gentlemen who hail rtad, perform.), and .ung (to
which the &adieu°. added "And the ledies first of all"),
Miss Pearce led off the National Anthem, which was
joined in by the compeny.—The Rev. .7. 1). Addison
then returned thanks to the promoter' of the enter-
tainment, for their kindestes in thinking of the object
to which they-would devote the proceeds, and also for
!so well arrauging the evening's amusement. It would
i tend to lighten 0 her len which they at Trinity had

I their funds were called for in so many ways. He

, mutual thanks and cougratulationr, the party broke up
I at a reasonable hour.
! Gensr BADOIR-IiAITING.—We are terribly afraid we
' shall have the Anima/ World pouring out its vials of
; wroth upon some of the popthace, mid not all the
: petfenrins eiager either, of Wcyinnuth, for an attempt
1 to return to the old (i.e., of sairege times) kiighsh
I sport of badger-baitiog. P.C.s Roper and Powell of
1 the Dorset Caunty I..)onstabularly, were, on Mondsy
afternoon last doing a little promenade "on duty" from
11011, the Cemetery towards Chickerell. They were
loot by some men with a large hag, in which was
evidently • living creature. Was it, horrible to relate,
a rabbit ! or worse, • h.ro II for the discovery of offences
against which the police have such eztraorili,ary
powers 1 At all events the men did not seem ashamed
of what they carried. for they offered to let the po ice
01601120. It wee lucky the the experience I oil% •re did
net thrust their bando too heady into the bag. for the
first object revealed was a particularly spiny hedgehog,
who, rolled tightlyinto • ball, awaited. bayonets fixed,
the °barge of any enemy. The polio/ did not Mire the
prickly pork ; but they did not retire, to leave him to
be baked in • cloy piocrust, or otherwise diapered of in
gipsy fashiou, for it was not Mr. Hedgehog that wade
such an extraordinary wriggling in the big. Doubtless
• little further curiosity induced them to stay ; bat no
manna examination was alto nipted .by them. Still
more foetal:mte that they did not, or they might have
been seised by • handcuff more aekwerd than they
ever put on • prisoner. "We've something More to
show yon," said the men, and a &Eifel opening of the
bag revealed hedge-pigsy's Mortal foe, • fine badger,
teeth and all, ready to give • sample of as sharp • man-
trap as ever caught a trespasser in pursuit of what was
not his own. The hedgehog in dread of the badger,
and the latter, pricked with the pines of the bedgeh..g,
meet have had an awk.ruil time in the bag, but the
police 'melt another thing, to wit, a "rat." and quietly •
walked off, leaving tbe bagmen, with their specimens
of Neutral !lige-my, to go their w.y. Conferrer* en-
lightened the blues as to how they should act, for
"surely," they said, "a bedeer-baiting ie owning off
soinewledo" So they went away quistly as if thinking of
nothing bet cold mutton and kind cooks, until out of
sight of the bagmen, and then stooped dowt, and cow
inenced retracing their steps under the hedge. If there
was a ditch, they must have envied the badger's style of
procedure, for country people say he walks beet against
the side of a farrow, and can't get along so quick on
level ground. By and by they neared • field of Mr. E.
Knight's not for from the Cemetery, and • noise of men
and dogs told that soinethiug was" up." In fact there
was • ring of 40 or .-e) people round four dogs, audio the
middle, sorely wooled, hut game to the death, fought
the hedger. It wiiiild be hopeless to recouut how the
active enemies scoured round the plucky brute, and
how many were esc.pes of one dog and another from
being made threedieggsd for the rest of his tile; how
they ttied to turn from the fight, and how the men
cheered them on again to seise him Moody, and how
dog after dog &mad to uy " I'll be badgered if I do."
The police had not much taste for this cruel " sport,"
and were only intent in finding out who were there.
At length, cautiously raising their heads over the fence,
they were spied by 11001, man. "Here's the bobbies l'
was the cry, and, less plucky than their &is, far lens !
than the courageous beast they were torturing, away .
seattered the two score people like a lock of sheep, the
dogs and the badger keeping the ground. The dugs
were soon cancel off; but it wee boo late for the crowd, '
their names had been quietly marked, and they were ,
most of them known, seamy did not all run far. The ;
badger, not having the fear of the law before his eyes,
or perhaps he may bs supposed to have appealed to the
low, for divers resoles, of which he wad quite rutty to
enable the policemen to say "This indenture wit-
nessetb,"in the old legal style of • mark with his teeth,
declined to be takee In custody; but the bag was entailed
uu him, for some one knowing in the matter crept up
behind, seized hioi by the tail, and begged him. A cep
was then handed round Paying the crowd, and s col.
lection made, and offered to the policemen. This was
pr tang • brazen (or bronze) front on it ; but, though
there was lightoeolmrred money in the cop, the police
refused to secept the !mild, and the parties, we under-
stand, will be summoned i efore the magistrates, when,
badger the witnesses as their advocates like, they may
find it is no joae to be dogged by the county police.
Sines writing the above webers been reminded that 'here
are two aides to every cue. It bu been hinted that
the badger spoken of was not baited but fairly bunted,
as fairly as any fox. Of ODOM we were not there to

In conclusion he expreased his regret at the great
waits of manure through the alveoli, of proper

system. -In the discussion which followed, My. J.
Keynes said the plan he adopted was to plough his
mound as soon after harvest as poseible. then dress it
and let it lay for some time, and then plough the
manure in. In the spring he ploughed hie land for
turnip, but no: alter green crop, fur every time the lead
was ploughed the used came to the top. He used
Coleman's searifier, which did nut bring up the seeds.
Ile thought that they were apt to get the land too light
for mangolds. and it wee perhaps best not to plough
so much but so get the land fine by scarifying. -

tiortlett With regard to the cultivation of turnip
after • green crop, said last year be had a Glover

Mr. Groves, of Demon, Farm in turnip growing after
green crop, he preparet his ground with a skim coulter
and then with a rim roller, and thoroughly ploughed it,
and had a eery gaol mop, for which be took 144 prise

plan had been to net as much land ready for the a two

they had been expending too much money in them
He bad paid MO last year, but he did not think he
should expend so much this; at the same time be did
not consider they could do without bongo The

club for roots were siren for turnips grown on

Mr. H. Richards, as to the bast mode for the

found it very important to solidify the soil. There wa.
