MILITARY FUNIMAL.—A specado such as is not
common in Dorchester, took place on MondAy after.
noon, when a driver of the 11. Battery B. Brigade Royal
' Hone Artillery, was inhered with military honoats.
The deceased, named George Monument, was a young
man, jut 30 years of age; he was one of the groom
employ.d by Col. Newton, and had been in his nerds'
about 11 years. He was generally known as • good
character and • stady soldier. For eau time he has
been ailing and about three weeks ago was admitted to
the regimentel hospital, where be remained under ths
care a Dr. O'Brien, until Friday morning last, when
he expired about six o'clock. In accordance with
the wishes of the ofiker in command, the services of
the bald of the 3rd D.R.V. were not engaged, and the
ebeense of the grand strains of the Dead March rather
detracted from the impaling character of • funeral on
such osessiens: About half-past two the battery were
formed up In the baraek.equare, and under the com-
mand of Del. Newton, accompanied by Lieut. Stratum
and Dr. (YBrien, proceeded from the barrecks, and
round the South Walks to the chttrelt-yerd at East
Fordington in the following order :
Filing Party of 10 gunners, with sergeant rid

into the church, where the service for the dead was

waters earner of the °smoky, and at the conclusion of
the ceremonies of the church, the firing party fired
three volley' in the air. The battery then formed
"right in front," and Mewed at quick step to their
quarters.
Doncanwrn Gamut. Soctwer.—On ihureday even-
ing last the members of this society gave the first of a
sties of three wooede at the Town-hall, and the
satisfaction with which the'. re-appearance was
general
l was abundantly testified by the Large audience
that amembled notwithstanding the very unfavoandde
state of the weather: the sesta rear. trod wen not fully
occupied on amount of the frequent storms of rain
deterring parties from the country from undertaking
the jemmies, to Dorchester and back, but the other
seats were well filled, and seemed to show that if the
weather had been fine there would have been • swath
such as marked several of their concerts in former
1161111006. However, despite the adverse elements, the
first meeting was an undoubted success in point of
attendance. The same may he said when it is regarded
as • medal performance, end Mr. J. Robinson is to be
congratulated on the m.nner in whirl he has trained
the sodety. A band of nista umenalista, composed of
• Weya.orith antingent Hart of Mr. Jones's favourite
band) sad several well-known Dorchester performers,
with Mr. 3. Robinson piano, and Kr. J. Rob=
jut.,
harmoaium, made • capital orchestra, and
the programme mese agreeably. The concert opened
with Ifrey's "Old Friends" quadrillo,which brought
out some of the excellencies of the baud, and prepared
us fore rich treat in the selection programmed. In
this quadrille the composer haa skilfully interwoven
some familiar sin, and the climax is reached when the
chorus joined In with "Anti Lang Sync." The audi-
ence warmly applauded, and the gratification was
general. This was promptly followed by a part
beg, "Old Friends met together," which was aptly
chosen, sad a pleasing compliment to the "old friends'
of the society. It went smoothly end well. Mr. J.
Woods's/xi wing "A winter night," to the accompude
meat of • smart shower of hail and rain on the windows,
so we could the better appreciate his singing of thg
glories of Oluistreautlde. Mr. Taira made his first
appearance. He has • capital tenor voile, WWI of
eonlidence, and 'rag in rollicking style All among
the bay." At cue he was an established favourite with
the &adieu's, a_el wee vigorously encored. Upon this
be repeated eased verses; but, as • general rule,
"encore" popularly applied to Mend-comic songs means
" • fresh 'an," and the repetition was obviously not
expected. The society then gave the glee "Curfew
bells last breath is dying," with refined taste and good
effect, provoking math tinplates. Master Rummy next
sang, "0 play thatairiegain." We were sorry to notice
that the singer's rich sweet voice gives signs of
" breaking;" but we hope that in changing from treble
to tenor or bus he may keep the fine quality of voice
he now posesmec. Aft. F. Holland, who always does
the comic badness so well, now gave "The -waxwork
show" in shareeter. The soog is genuinely amusing
and the most was rude of it by the singer.
Of cornea, it took immensely, and in response to an
encore, be added • couple of verses anent the "chamber
of horrors," amongst the figures in which was a
" wretched culprit" who had asked a friend to dinner
without intimating his intention to )hi s wife. It
elicited great laughter. A wilts, Ceote's "La
Peziohole," nicely played by the band, concluded the
first part. During the short interval the audience
felicitated cue mother on the pleasure the concert
efforded. The second pert begat with • grand selection
from '• I Periled" with solos for violin, cornet,
clarinet, and ante. This WM the best performance of
She eves*, and general and hearty plaudits followed

passive of the company, and the singer had en irresis-
tible mews. We should like to hear Mr.
Tiffs in sOlll6 of the favourite ballade of the day,
believing he would sing them admirably. The glee,
" Come, Fairy Rives," followed, and was an ecoelient
performance. Master Ramsey gave the song, with
chorus, "My Pretty Louise," in a pleasing style Mr.

Holland's powers of drollery, though we prefer the
Dards "Mein little wee dog," of which it seems to be
a parody. Being re-called, he gave "Peter Piper"
with exceeding cleverness and there were roars of
laughter. The waltz, " Songs of the Seasons,' followed,
and the concert dosed with the glee "Good Night,"
by the full band and chaos. Thus by ten o'clock the
performances had ended, and the company separated,
