ORNAVENTAL UNDERWOOD. —Atnong the most
extraordinary things I have seen or read of,l have lately
discovered in the centre of a wood, on • deeply drained
and partially gravelled bag on Lord Arran's property—
it relates to rhododendrons. A few years ago a few
plants of R. ponticum were planted in this open space,
and en 'h was the rapidity of their growth and the
precocity of their habit, that although when pleated
, out they were small plants, set at from 4 to 6 feet apart,
they now occupy the whole ground, except where
occasionally removed to other places as underwood, and
the spaces thus cleared became studded ever with
myriads of seedlings whose rapidity of growth would
astonish any one not previously acquainted with IL
These seedling, are being encouraged by transplantation
and otherwise and in • year or two more there will be an
adequate stipple of rhododendrons to form underwood
in some 600 or 700 awes 81 weeda Wherever the spare
plants were planted out SA understood their growth is
truly astonishing. The Superintendent, Mr. Wards, has
lately introduced some of the more rare and less hardy
rhododendron. to such places and they are thriving
with equal rapidity. In this locality I found several
, fuchsias growing most luxuriantly,floweriag continuous-
ly during the cam ner and autumn, and they are now
full of ripe seeds. In one ease I found one such plant
covering a space of nearly 40 feet square and this was at
an elevation of about 1000 feet above the sea on the side
of the celebrated Mount Nephin, the highest monntiaa
in Connaught. I may add, that I have found the
aucnba an excellent underwood in such places, and the
silver fir, when headei down, is still better and cheaper.
And speaking of this fine fir, 1 have found old trees of
lion high but by their branches shaded soils, tor-educe
seedlings in abundance. Many of these young plants I
have taken up and without more ado planted them out

BRI DPORT.

1 Catnewr.—On Thursday, the Vet inst., the village of
Channouth sent a weak team to play Bridport, at
Pyinore. They only musterqd nine, and consequently
they were compelled to play their scorer and umpire.
Brdport had a very good eleven ohosen from a wide
district, which included • flrstrete left hand bowler,
one of the Harlequins, and the consequence was that
the eharmouth patty had but a poor chance of victory.
However, they played plucky, and when we meet them
again at Pymore, We hope for the sake of cricket the
teams Will be more evenly balanced. Snore :--CHAR.

BROADWAY.

A NEIGHBOUR'S QUARREL. —The county magis-
trates on Saturday last, were engaged for a con-
siderable time in hearing the particulars of a
disgraceful quarrel at Littlemoor, on the 15th
September. The parties were a ganger named
Robert Guppy and a married woman named Jane
Orson. Mr. Andrews appeared for Guppy. It
seems that, on the Bth September, Guppy gave
Crann notice to quit a piece of potato ground
rpnted from him, , This greatly offended Mrs
Craton, atid on the 15:11 inst., after fitting most fool
language with regard to Guppy's wife, in the hearing
of Guppy and his ehildren, she danced in front of
him, and at length struck him on the head and
pulled a quantity of hair from his head. Guppy
put up his hand to protect himself, when she bit
his thumb till the blood gushed from her mouth.
Guppy then struck her. The magistrates bound
both over in flO each to keep the peace for sax
months.

BHEPTO2I MALLET.

A LADY BURNT TO DI*TEL —A very melancholy
accident took place on Monday night at Shepton Mallet,
casting a gloom over the tetra and locality. It appears
that the two eldest daughters of the rector, the Rev.
H. Pratt, were lighting their candles to retire to rest,
the thin dress of the younger caught fire. The elder
sister, in trying to extinguish it, became herself
enveloped in flames, and though assistance was imme-
diately rendered the was so badly burnt and received so
serious a shock that she died on Wednesday afternoon.
Her younger sister is in a sad state, and is not expected
to recover. The mother of the young ladies is a
daughter of the late Bishop of Peterborough, and one of
her Majesty's extra ladies of the Bedchamber.

PROPOSED ILIC7101( OP AN ALDERMAN IN THE

The next subject for discussion was to take into '
consideration Mr. Councillor Tizard's motion as to
filling up Mr. Alderman Bower's vacancy in the
Titard sail he had given notice last
September of his intention to bring forward the
question of electing an alderman in the room of Mr.
Bower, who had left the town, but he was unable to
attend, and in consequence the matter was not
brought forward. Now, be thought according to the
sth and 6th George IV., that after an absence of six
months an alderman's office became void, and the
Mayor should be called upon to appoint another in
his stead. Now the point was this; he did not
know whether the vacancy should be filled within 10
I days after the office had become void, or whether it
was 10 days after the matter had been brought
officially under the notice of the Mayor. If this
course of proceeding was proper, he would move
that the Mayor, at an early meeting of the
Council, proceed to elect an alderman in the room of
Mr. Bower. —The Town Clerk, after having referred
to the law bearing on the 'object, Mr. Ayling mid
Mr. Bower's term of office would expire in November,
and he therefore oonsidered it was scarcely worth
while troubling about the appointment until then.—
Mr. Tizard, under the circumstances mentioned,
said he would not press his case, and the matter
dropped.
TUE HARBOUR MASTER'S RETORT

Slated that the eastern front of the Pile Pier was
broken nearly off, and the whole of the (rent piles
very loose, requiring immediate attention. The
Quay opposite Bank House was reported to be in •
bad condition, and the Harbour Master said if the
tramway trucks passed by it was very likely that
part of the Quay would fall into the harbour.—The
Mayor said that for about £2O or £3O that portion
of the Quay could be kept in repair for 50 years,
whereas if it fell down it would cost no end of
money. —lt was decided that the matter should Is
attended to immediately.

TIM LATIL TIRE AT RIDGWAY.

A letter from Superintendent Lidbury was read,
asking for directions as to ho w he was toact in reference
to allowing the fire engine go out of town in oases of
fire, as his conduct in not allowing it to go to the
late fire at Ridgway without an order from the
Mayor had been criticised. After a dormitory discus-
sion it WSJ decided that the Superintendent should
have the entire control over the engine, and a re-
solution vras passed to that effect.

BOARD OP ARALTH.

The only business of any importance under this
head was to decide upon having a drain from
Augusta Place to Belle Vue, in order to temedy the
nuisance which now existed there.

BAIDPORT.

INQUEB7.—On Mon—d-a-i—a-nin—q-uest was held by N. M.
Loggin, Esq., at the Wynards Gap Inn, on the body of
Eliza Dinient, aged two years and ten months, who
died from the effected a burn. It appears that, on
Tuesday morning previous, the mother left the deceased
and an infant, aged two inontba, in the house with no
person to take acre of them, whilst she went into the
village of Cbeddington. She had not been absent many
minutes when screams were heard coming from the
house, and a little girl, named Mortimer, ran to the
door and looked through the key-hole, when she saw
the deceased in itAnlelt. She called assistanoe, and the
child's burning clothes were extinguished, but tbe
injuries she received were so severe that she died On
Friday. A verdiotof "Accidental death" wu returned.
FIKE.—On Wednee lay a fire broke out in the straw•
yard of Mr. G. S. Miller, of Bradpole, but as assistance
Noon arrived the fire was put out without causing much
destruction of property. The fire is supposed to have
been caused by a spark from the railway engine having
fallen in the yard, which is close to the line of rail.

CIIIIRCH OF ENGLAND JUVENILE
and ADULT SUNDAY and EVENING
SCHOOL ASSOCIATION.
A PUBLIC MEETING of the friends and promoters
of the above Association is fixed for WEDNESDAY,
the 29th MARCH, at Three, at Buckingham Chambers,
11, Buekingham•street, Strand. The object of this
movement is to promote parochially the teaching end
training of the young in the doctrine and principles of
the Established Church from the time they ordinarily
leave the day school till they reach the age of 2L
Clergymen on all hands admit that to retain the
young at the Sunday School and Church is a great moral
and social problem which has not yet been solved.
The promoters of this movement have held several
I previous meetings—two presided over by the Rev. R.
H. El!lick, Rector of St. Clement Danes, at which reso-
lutions have been passed approving of the principles of
the Association.
They propose to accomplish their object, as experience
has shown them it may be aocomplished, by a judicious
system of rewards.
Their motto is "Prevention is better than Cure."

It is easentially a Church Extension Association,
instruction at the Sunday School in the doctrine of the
Church of England, as embodied in her creeds and
articles', being an essential part of the proposed scheme.
Contributions towards the expenses of this Aillooia-
tion will be thankfully received by the Secretury pro
tam., Mr. D. Jones, at the above office.

the whole of the land, near the railway static,* for
£1,400, thereby depriving the town of a aloe walk,
—Mr. Tizard, amidst some laughter, said he bad no
doubt the railway oompany would give £1,400 for
the land, and at the same time give the publio
the right of walking there. The Mayor con-
sidered if the piece of land in question were taken
away from the town it would prove a great injury to
the inhabitanta.—Mr. Tizard oonsidered the railway
company should be called upon to pay for the use of
the land up to the present time, and also suggested
that the report should be referred back to Mr. Brut!,
asking for a more lucid explanation of the land
required by the company. —Mr. Pothecary coincided
with the opinions expressed by the Mayor relating
to the giving up of the land in question.—Mr.
Deveniah suggested that a plan should be submitted
to the Council, dearly pointing out how much land
was required, so that there might not be any mistake
in the matter, and urged that they should be expe-
ditious in obtaining the money—Mr. Pothecary
remarked if the railway company would keep the
quay walls in repair he should be inclined to fall in
with the views of Mr. Bruff, but unless it was
decided that they should do so the Council would
have to keep them in repair.—The matter was
ultimately settled by the report being again referred
to Mr. Bruff for additional information.
