cation, and doubtless they will funded materials for
one of the most interesting and important of the
many chapters which that distinguished professor
has contributed to the records of mammalian
paloontology.
CILABDITOCI. —Child Dropping,—Some surprise
and consternation were wonted here on Friday, by
the occurrence of the unnatural crime above men-
tinned. Upon one of the officials of the Industrial
School opening the establishment in the morning, at
one of the doors was discovered a coal box, which
presented a very suspicious appearance, and which
we hear belonged to the place. Upon opening this
it was found to contain, wrapped in a shawl, a
female child, about three weeks or a mouth old, and
with which was secreted a bottle of rum and milk.
The author of this desertion has not yet been dis-
covered. The infant has been placed in the Union
at Axminster.

LYMII HAMM —On 'Tuesday the Lyme Regis and
Charmouth Horticultural Societies' first exhibition
of fruits, vegetables, and flowers took place in a
field adjoining the vicarage grounds,in a spacious
marlines, Grouted for the occasion. The specimens
of fruits were remarkably tine, as also were the
geraniums, the first prise for which was deservedly
awarded to H. Symonds, Esq. This gentleman also
exhibited several beautiful rues, which were the
finest in the show. Amongst the specimens of the
cottager', we would partioularly notice a basket of
wild dowers, tastefully arranged, which obtained
must deservedly the first prise. The weather dur.
ing the day was most propitious, and a band of
music; was engaged for the ocoseion. A large
number of %gaiters arrived in the town during the
day, and the first exhibition this season appears to
to have given great satisfaction.
