GREAT NV MITERS RAILWAY TIME TA RIES. -We

Western Time Tables, which appear in our advertis-

persons visiting the most interesting and important
; Owes in the immediate vicinity of Dorchester.
Brum or CoNegurs.— It will be seen that our
spirited townsman, Mr. Robinson. has made creed
-
lent arrangements for the musical taste of the visitors
to Dorchester during the week. This evening (Tues-
day) and on the evenings of Wednesday and Friday
next, there will be a grand concert of vocal and in-
strumental music, at the County Hall, and a grand
military performance at the atone place on Thursday
evening, by the celebrated Band of the Grenadier

A musical treat of this richness and variety is not
often presented to the public ; and there can be no
doubt that Mr. Robinson's enterprising undertaking
will be rewarded with very liberal patronage.
