BLANDFORD TEMPERANCE HARMONIC
SOCIETY.
The members of this society celebrated their second
anniversary on Christmas,ve, when about twenty sat
down to an excellent supper at Hammond', Temperance
Hotel. The room was very tastefully decorated with
boll', and other evergreens, the mistletoe bough being
eonspicuously hung in the centre of the room, enurcled
with festooos, composed of holly-berries, intermixed
with leaves. The hair was taken by Mr. B. Meaden,
ably assisted by Mr. Coombs. as vise-chairman. After
the company had heartily partaken of the good cheer
provided, and which we feel sure all who were present
will ogres with us in pronouncing its first-rate, • supply
of a favourite temperance drink, known by the name
of "Sampson," was handed round Whether the
"strongest man the world e'er saw" had the good for-
tune to be nourished by this beverage we cannot say;
but certainly it contains ingredients well fitted to
strengthen the physical powers
The Cliaxam.Nfave as the first toast of the evening,
" The health of Her Majesty the Queen," who was, he
considered, rightly looked upon by her subjects as one I
of the best monarchs which had ever sat upon the
English throne. Whether viewed as • soother or a
sovereign
as the character of the Queen shone forth in the
purest ht, and we, a nation, had just cause to be
proud of her. After adverting to the excellent character
of the late Prince Consort, the Chairman proceeded to
point out some of the many privileges Englishmen
enjoyed under a constitutional form of government.
(Cheers.)

"The health/ of the Prince and Princess of Wale*"
were then given by the Chairman, who said the nation
had every reason, both from the past and present, of
the Prince, and the admirable training he had received
under the eye of his excalent father, to anticipate that
whenever he was called to the throne he would follow
the steps of his illustrious parents, and be one of the
best kings ever occupying the throne of these realms.
(Loud cheers.)

voting a sum to defray the expense of lighting .he
parish for the ensuing year, and also to appoint three
members of the burial board in room of those going out
of office by rotation The chair was taken by Mr. 11.

the hands of the inspectors. —ffir. C Betty Ile called
attention to the imperfect lighting of the lower part
of Damory.lane, and to the neonsity in oonsequenoe of

occurred. The vestry, requested the inspectors to look
to the matter, with a view to more efficient lighting.
Some little discussion arose an to the necessity of Toting
a sum for lighting punmses for the ensuing year, in
consequence of the Loall Government Aat shortly com-
ing into operation,when the duties of the gas inspect-Ts
will merge into the Local Board. By the advice of the
chairman it was, however, agreed to vote tho usual

sant, but not to call for a ;aimless it was necessary,
as the Milano. in hand, with the uncollected portion of
the present yeses rate, would probably be sufficient for
the inspector'. purposes until the establishment of the
Local Board. The meeting Men proceeded to elect three
new officers of the Burial Board, when the Rev. J. 8..
Quirk was chosen in the room of the late rector, Mr.
T. IL Park in the room of Mr. Wellington, and Mr.
Abbott was reelected. —Mr Spence Abbott called etten-
lion to the restrictions which the Burial Board had
placed upon the erection of tombstoms, and the inscrip-
tions thereon. Re stated that his opinion was that the

public ought to hays greater liberty io use what devices
and inscriptions they thought proper; but refrained
from putting any proposition to the meeting on the
matter:7Mo, Chairman
.thought that what had been

said by Mr. Abbott would be quite sufficient to cause
the Burial Board to take the subject into their serious
consideration. Two or three of the gentlemen present
expressed their views on the matter, and sitar a vote of
thanks to the chairman the meeting broke up.
WORK ING 11RX's CLIIB. —On Monday evening • very
interesting lecture 1111 s delivered in the Townlmall, by
the Bev. W. Barnes, rector of Came, on "The early
history of the West-English people," with readings of
Dorset poems. Through the unavoidable absence of
the Rev. C.. 7, Eliot, the chair was kindly taken by
KO. 3pooner. Esq. The room was well filled by a
highly respectable audience. Previous to the lecture
the company were favoured with • choice *election of
music by Messrs. Applin, White. and Monkton, whose
admirable performances were heartily appreciated.
After • few introductory remarks by the chairman, the
rev, lecturer proceeded with his subject, and was during
Its delivery loudly cheered. The evtracta from his well
known "Dorset Poems," so true and characteristic in
their description, often provoked the risible faculties of
his audience, who seemed heartily to appreciate the rich
intellectual treat afforded them, and at the close a
unanimous vote of thanks was passed both to the
lecturer and to the chairman.

Song by Mr. Blanchard, sea.
The Vics-CHAnue A N propoqed "The Army and Navy,
and Rifle Volunteers." After alluding to the pliant
performances of the regular services, he said be had no
doubt that if ever the volunteers were called upon they
would manfully do their duty. With the West he would
oouple the name of " C,olour4Fiergeant Meaden," of the
Bth Dorset . . .

Sergeant MEADER said be HIM extremely pleased to
respond to the toast. As regarded the volunteer@ he
was of opinion that such a force would never have been
organised in this country had it not been for the excel-
lence of our laws, and the peaoethoompenying the liberty
we enjoyed. Years ago the government of this country
would imt have run the risk of supplying 130,000 men
with arms, and no other nation dare try the same expe-
riment He fully concurred in the opinion expremed
by the former speaker that the volunteers would do
their duty if ever called out for active service. Nay,
more, he was fully persuaded that they would be the
very first to face an Invading foe, because they had
everything at stake—home, family, and friends. The
volunteer movement, though at first somewhat dis-
paraged, was now an established institution of the
country. He sincerely thanked them for the honour
of adding his name with the toast. (Clears.)
Recitation by Mr. Strange: "George Cniikshank and
his picture of Nimbus.
The CHAIRMAN said the ROIL toast ho had to propose
was to the success of one of the most important institu-
tions of the country. As Englishmen we rejoiced in
and boasted of our freedom. That freedom we owed in
, gnat measure to the liberty of the press. With but
! few exceptions the press of this country was fully
, entitled to rank high in the estimation of the public
It had been the means of exposing many evils, and by
It. support all that was good was strengthened. The
temperance cause had been greatly indebted to the
public press for the diffusion of those principles which
had proved such • biasing to many; and he was very
glad to see a representative present who since he had
resided in the town, had given fair and impartial reports
of what occurred, and had especially elven very detailed
accounts of their meetings. He (the chairman) had
always been a supporter of the press, and as long
as it was conducted in the mme fair and impartial
manner he should endeavour to give it his assistance.
(Cheers.)
The tout was suitably acknowledged.
Song by Hr. Williams.—" Get out of the way Old
Sir Toddy."
Recitation by the Chairman.—" The Landlord's Goose
Club."
"SODOM to the Temperance Cause, and to the heroes
who helped it forward," was the next toast proposed
by the Chairman, who gave a slight sketch of the pro-
gress of the movement from the time when it was first
began. 30 years ago, by seven working men, to the pre-
sent time, when it numbers 3,000,000 of adherents.
Adverting to the present state of the cause in
Rlandlord, he said he was sorry to thy it was
not progressing, and he feared this must be
attributed in some mature to what had occurred
in connection with their own thoiety—the harmonic.
He was sorry to have to allude to this, but he felt it
only right. About two years ago their vice-chairman
and • few others agreed to form • temperance harmonic
society, and about the latter end of last year some of
the members stated the project of forming a braes hand.
In the course of a abort time, a subscription having been
raised, a band was formed, and the young man who had
been one of the first to propose the band, voluntarily
came forward and offered himself as bendmather.
Under his tuition the members got on exceedingly well,
and on several occasions played in front of the Town-
hell previous to the holding of temperance meetings.
When he (the chairmen) first heard them be was
delighted,and said: "This is the very thing we wanted."
Everything went on very well for attics, but all at
once, without assigning any reason, the master of the
band ceased to meet with the members for practice, and
when spoken to on the subject, instead of acting
openly and manly, made some paltry excuses, and went
on from time to time promising, sad breaking his
promises, so that for a long time pest no meetings
for practice have been held. As • subscriber to the
baud fund, be could not but feel, (and many beside him
felt the same,) that he had been most unjustly treated,
and consequently he withdrew from the committee.
Through the conduct of the bandmaster, and he
believed through his conduct alone, the hermonle
society was placed in • very unpleasant position, as not
only had they expended the whole of the subscribed
money in purchasing instruments sod music,butthey had
also borrowed money (he believed about £l3) to complete
the purchase, relying upon engagements and further
subscriptions to pay it off. To the repeated requests
of individual members of the society, and to the often-
solicited requests, both orally and by letter, of the com-
mittee to meet them, the bandmaster deigned no reply,
neither would he give an explanation of his conduct.
If he wished to give up the leadership, be ought as an
honourable man to have come forward and stated so.
, From what he could learn the greater part of the mem-
bers were most anxious to go on, but as the bandmaster,
and one or two others who left with him, played the
cornet or leading instrument, the other member@ could
not go on. A. regarded the engagements, he (the chair-
man) was fully convinced that the band, as soon as they
felt they were qualified to take them, would have had
as many as they oould fill. He could not hut characterise
the conduct of the bandmaster as most unjust and dis-
honourable. (Hear, bear.) If he did not feel inclined
to go on, he ought to have attended one of the numerous
meetings he was invited to, and said—" Gentlemen, I
wish to eye up the leadership, and will thank you to
appoint some one else." After ROMS further remarks
from the Chairman,
Mr. Rostrum's inquired whether any just cause of
offence had been given by any of the members to the
bandmaster ? Had any of them become conceited, and
fancied they could do without him?
Yr. Comm replied that for • long time after the
headwater gave up meeting with the members for
prietioe, he was asked by several of the committee if he
would COMMA to continue the leadership until such
time as one of the members could take that duty.
Rornithros said it was not that he meant. He
then referred to the case of a band formed at Wakefield,
which was broken up through the self-conceit of the
members. As reprded the case before them, he should
advise the committee to write to the bandmaster, and
require him to give • decided answer whether he would
resume practice or not, and if he refused to give such
answer at once to proceed to take the matter out of his
hands, rect'uthing him to give up whatever property he
possessed belonging to the society, and then to appoint
another bandmaster.
Ths CHAIRMAN said that he should be most happy, if
the band could be again raised, to give another half-
sovereign. (Cheers) He was fully convinced that the
temperance cause would be greatly assisted by • band,
and he yet hoped to hear a firth-rate one in connection
with that cause. He trusted that what he had said
would be fully reported, as it was only right the public
should know with whom the fault lay. Trusting that a
brighter day would yet dawn on the moiety, he asked
them cordially to respond to the toast—" Success to the
Temperance Hari:mom Society," coupled with the
health of the secretary, "Mr. Blanchard, jun."
Mr. BLANCHARD, in acknowledging the toast, said
that the society was formed with the view of affording
amusement to the young men who had joined the
temperance movement, and who having no homes In the
' teem pared their time in public, and who might be
Whoa to enter the public-house and thus be exposed
to temptation. It had been the means of causing many
to bemuse teetotaler; and though some hod broken the
=said deserted them, there were others who re-
arm. • now committee would abortir be
hands god be hoped that the suggestions which had
boso weds rowong the bandmaster would be carried
ens, sad that soon the bend would he raised to he
fonwor ofolosoy. (Cheers,)
the health of the Chairman was then proposed, and
rogastdod to with mimics' honour.; as also that of the
host end hostess, and after a few more soup Um tome
pug broke up.
