The CHAIRMAN gave the usual loyal toasts, designating
the Queen as the &imam of India, a title which she
has not yet &mimed. The Indian journey of the Prince of
Wales, he believed to is politically and socialite Ice
the benefit of the country.
With the " Army and Navy, and the Reserved forces,"
the CHAIRMAN, coupled the names of Captain Digby and
Captain Hodges.
Captain Hlolll' expressed his thanks for the manner in
which they had received the toast of the Army. It was
• profession to which he had belonged for the last ten
years, and he had naturally taken great interest in it.
The new schemes which had been proposed by the Secre-
tary of State for War held out good hopes that there
would be attracted to the ranks a better clans, and •
larger number of recruits. He then referred to these the
most important of which, he said, were thiegranting of •
small amount of extra pay to non-commissioned officers,
who be believed richly deserved some acknowledgement
for duties very arduous ; and the giving to
soldiers what was called "deferred pay," by which upon
leaving the army they would receive • sum that would
give them some start in life.
Captain Howes, of the 3rd DRY., thanked the com-
pany for welcoming the health of the Volunteers, and
laumourously remarked that, like the regulars, they could
not boast of an increase of pay; in fact since he had
belonged to the force he had always found it to be "to
pay;" but still if ever called upon they would be found to
endeavour to do their duty, and he believed with success
-(bmar, bear).
The Citaineae gave "The health of their County
Members," and remarked upon the compliment which as
• Farmers' Club had been passed them, by one of the
members attending their gathering. They had lately
had a contest, and he had great pleasure in seeing among
them the successful candidate-thew, hear)-and that, he
believed, was also a matter of satisfaction to the whole
nf his constituents, lie might have said much more in
his absence, but he would only say be had known him for
many year', and that model nobleman, his father, and
that still as he considered more model nobleman, his
grandfather. He did not wish to draw comparisions, but
to his mind Lord licheeter was the best wan that ever
lived-(applause).
The HON. Dieenen, in response, alluded to what he
termed several interesting questions which had come
before Parliament during the present session. Touching
tint upon the Royal Titles Bill, he said there had been •
(coed deal of criticism: and he might say of prophecy,
with regard to it. Their much respected Lord. Lieutenant
had been named a prophet on account of the direful
occurenoes that be had be pineal to enumerate would
take place should Her Majesty assume that title. The
title, he argued, was purely s local one, and when they
know that .06 people as the Governor-General of
India and Lord Napier, and numerous other, who
naturally must know the feelings and sentiments of the
people, said that it would be acceptable and that they
wished it, he could not see there wee any possible objec-
tion to it Besides, a great number of well.inforined
persons already thought that she held it, which he con-
sidered they must admit waa far more suitable to that
country than that of Queen. To it he gave his unqualified
approval, believing as he did that the title of Empress
would never supplant or interfere with the best and
grandest of all, that of Queen of Great Britain and Ireland
-(cheers). Another Bill was Mr. Sclater-Booth's Valua-
tion Bill, of which he was much in favour. He believed
its introduction showed an intention on the part of the
Government to reduce local taxation' but this he was
afraid could hardly be equitably effected when they knew
that the rating of the same properties in different counties
differed from 10 to 40 per cent. He objected to the intro-
duction of the Surveyor of Tuee-(bear, hear). But they
must recollect the larger the relief granted by any
Government the more necessity would there be for the
closer supervision. The recent Irish provisions under the
Contagions Diseases Animals Acts he thought would give
satisfaction to all. He believed if the present schemes
wore properly carried out they would hear little more of
that dread disease.
In response to the toast of "The Mayor and Corporation
of Dorchester," his Worship rospoaded, and alluding to the
&Reeks which had been made upon the body in regard to
• question that is agitating the town, stated thatthe deter-
mination of the Council was to proceed at once with the
work, and he believed it would be found to conduce to the
despatch of business and the convenience and comfort of
those attending their markets as well as the intermits of the
town-(cheers).
The health of "The eldernbers of the neighbouring
Farmers' Clubs," was replied to by Mr. Kent and Mr.
Damon.
Mr. DAMEN elicited loud cheers by objecting to the pre-
med new Title ; and the new Valuation Bill he said he
believed to be one of which the basis was bad and vicious
in principle. He thought not only great injustice would
be done to landlords, but to tenanta. It was not like the
Landlord and Tenant Bill which every one could run from
as every one had done, from the Pnnce of Wales down
to the smallest farmer, but it contained nothing voluntary
and certainly demanded the greatest attention of the long-
headed gentlemen whom he saw around him.
The ' Town and Trade of Dorchester" was responded
to by Pdr..l. F. Hins, and Mr. R. N. Howard, whose
mime had been cou a. well with the tout The latter
gentleman criticised in • humourous manner the "bauble"
which had been offered to the Queen.
The CHAMMAN then announced the prises for roots had
been awarded to HOWER T. A. Homer and Lock.
Mr. Kgwr replied for "The Judaea," but said he could
not congratulate them much upon the competition for
note except in one particular case-Mr. Homer. lie was
never more pleased than he had been iii riding over that
gentleman'. farm. He touched upon the various subjects
which had been alluded to. He agreed with the proposed
Royal This; he thought the education of the labouring
children should net extend more than from 4 to 10,, and
lie decidedly objected to the arbitrary powers given to
surveyors under the new Valuation Act,
The Hon. Cut. Dunn then proposed the "Health of
their worthy Chairman "-long might he live,
In reply, the CHAIRMAPI stated he had wished to have
retired from the post, not because he believed their pro-
ceedings were at all useless, but he should have been glad
to have been relieved of the duties of the office. He
expressed his thanks to the gentlemen who had suppotted
them, and hoped that next year they would have what he
was fond of, practical rather than political agriculture
which he believed to be the real objects of • Farman'
Club. He proposed the "health of the Vice-Chairman"
Mr. WOOD HOMILI offered his congratulations to the
Club upon the past Session, and congratulated them upon
the presence of their new member Captain Digby. He
had thought it is duty to oppose him at the last election
because he wished to see the practical principles of api-
culture put in a prominent way before the House, and in
such a way as the meek and humble followers of the
Gevernment would not. But in this country when they
had fought the battle they did not look round corners at
each other, but met on the moat friendly terms. Had he
been in the House when the Royal Titles Bill was brought
on he would not have voted C.ap• Dieby ;he believed
it had simply found its origin in Ono mane ambition to
niake an Empress- (hear, hear, no, no, and laughter).
With other ~pakers he deprecated the appointment of
Surveyors of Mum, and severely criticised the school-rate
which he said had been thrust upon the farmers ins most
iniquitous form. He contended that ratepayers ought to
have • real and not • load control over the expenditure,
and instanced that at the Board of Guardians that day
the Board had been unable to dismiss the porter. The
subject of the markets lie then spoke of, and said be was
quits mow the agriculturista would give way to the wishes
of the town; but if the opinions of the town were ten to
two epithet the Council, he felt sure they would do well
to listen to that opinion. He concluded with congratula-
tions upon the rising condition of the town, and expressed
his belief the whole of Beggars' Knap would be wanted
for the markets before many years were over-(no, no,
and laughter).
A Voice : Let the Beggars (K)eist, alone l-(much
laughter).
The Caminito gave "The health of a gentleman whom
he might almost call the originator of the Club-Kr. G.
J. Andrews, hon. am The toast was received with loud
cheer&
Mr. ANDRIMII in replying, in his usual htunouroui
strain eulogised the Treasurer, Mr. C. Saunders, and pro-
posed that gentleman's health.
Mr. CHerethis fettmenu upraised the hearty good.erea
with which he had used his service, for the Club, and
the pleasure he felt in seeing Captain Digby present-
the more they saw of him the better they would like bioa
(oheere). The Agricultural Children.' Act he Mooney
itheeeted to,and he mentioned • caw in which it bore hardly
a man who could not obtain sick relief because his
between 13 and 14 did not go to school, the result
of which was the family would have to go into the unto*
and the parish would be mulcted in about twits the
amount
The health of Mr. Homer, of Martinstown followed,
and after two or three other toasts a most pleasant even-
ing was brought boa elem.

Mr. Walter Pouncy, and secretary was
to thank him on behalf of the members for the generous
and very acceptable present. The institute is in a
flourishing oondition.
Jaw= FORESTISS.—The third annual statement
of the Juvenile Foresters' Society in connection with
Court "Progress," has just bees Mead, and we are
pleased to record the meccas which has attended the
society. Although only so recently established, they
were enabled to commence the year with • balance of
£33 odd in the Savings' Bank, and to this they have
added £lB during the year. They have paid £l5 14e.
to their medical officer, and £5 17s. fid. to sick mem-
bers, and in addition have a balance in the hands of
the treasurer of £4 17s. 6d. During the year 50 new
members have been enrolled, and six have been trans-
ferred to the parent Court. These figures speak
much for the successful management of the society,
and for the sound basis on which it is established, and
those who have children will do well to communicate
with the secretary or treasurer, Mr. H. Charles and
Mr. G. Miles. In concluding their report the come
mittee tender their thanks to Mr. G. J. G. Gregory
for donation, and to Rev. E. W. Pears for use of St.
Peter's Schoolroom.
DISTRICT M rem NG OF FORESTIRS.-011 Easter
Monday the half .yearly meeting of the South-Western
District of the Ancient Order of Forfeiters was held at
the Town-halL The Dumber of delegates in attendance
was, 87, Bro. George Savage, D.C. R.,0 f Southampton,
presided. The district is at present in a flourishing
condition. The number of financial members Decem-
ber 314, was 12,684. The deaths during the pat
half year were unprecedently large. Funeral benefits
had to be provided in respect of no less than 119 deaths
at a esserto the funds of £1,312 10s, which exceeded
by £24 12s. the total amount of the levies for the same
period. The payments made during March alone
amounted to IMO. During the past six months three
widows passed of the Widows,' and Orphans' Fund by
lapse of that and one by marriage. The levies for
the fund during that time amounted to £429 and the
weekly pay to £375, leaving a favourable balance of
£34; bat more than Gnus was spent in bonuses to four
widow'--viz., £B. Through deaths during the half-
year twelve other widows became entitled to benefits
from the fonds', so that whilst in all four widows went
off the funds 16 catne on. During the same ',cried 13
funeral claims were met in respect .sf the wives of
members. The district continues to increase in num-
bers, the Recant return 'bowing 203 tuore than last
quarter. Two new courts have been opened--one at
Poole and the other at Sturneinster Newton. The
following is the financial sunimary for the quarter
ending March 31 : —Funeral fund, £9,821 Os. fid. ;
Distress Fund, £5719e. ; Widow.' and Orphans' Fund,
£l9O 14e. ; due to Court 1,559, £300; overpaid by
Messrs Deacon and Pearce, ; Management Fund,
£47 13e. Bd.---total, £10,425 7e. sd. The business of
the meeting having been opens, by the D.C.R. a
testimonial resolution was presented to the P.D.C.R.,
Bro. George Hallam. The delegate considered the
reports. of the Executive Council and the district
officers with reference to the duties and responsibilities
cant upon the district and courts by the new Friendly
Societies' Act. This subject evoked a long and
animated discussion, but in the end it was deemed
advisable no steps in the matter be taken on
the part of the district until after the October
meeting. In the meantime the question will probsbly
engage the serious attention of the respective courts. ,
Several applications from courts of the district were
considered. Bros. S. S. Pearce, A. J. Dyer, G.
Savage, and G. Hellion, all of Southampton, IMO
elected as delegates to attend the High Court meeting
in Edinburgh. The meeting of the A.M.C.of the
Manchester Unity of Odcifellows will this year take
place at Rmle, and it was agreed the Foresters should I
render such individual assistance as was in their
to promote the success of the gathering. Sev pro-
posals to alter rules 2 and 30 were considered, but no
suggestion met with approval. On a division as to the
place for the next district meeting the choice fell upon
Basingstoke, for which there were 94 votes, against 33
for Redbridge. It may be added the delegates did not
separate without expressing thanks to the Dorchester
brethren for their excellent arrangements for the
meeting. Messrs. G. Hobbs, G. Miles,A. Scott, H.
Hopkins, and J. Shergold were the committee who
conducted the arrangements. During the proceedings
Bro. G J. G. Gregory attended the meeting, and was
most warmlyreceived; in return he expressed his best
wishes for the success of he order, sad tamed his
brethren he should do his utmost to advance its pros

PRIIIITIVR METHODIST NEW CHAPEL.—On Easter
Monday there were gay doings at this neat little
Chapel in Durngate-street Opened only a short time
since for public worship, it is not yet free of debt, and
on the above day the friends had announced a bazaar,
tea, and meeting in aid of its funds. The former was
opened at noon, and there was a very nice display of
useful and ornamental articles, the ladies superintend-
ing the various stalls doing their best to dispose of
their stock. At five o'clock there was a tea in the
same building, which was well attended, and in the
evening there WM a public meeting, presided over by
Mr. Vine, of Longbredy. Capital addressees were
delivered by the Rev. E. Richardson, Rev. S. Dobson,
Mr. N. Lee, Mr. E. Penny, sic., and • very successful
day was brought to • close. The proceeds of the tea
and !Imam amounted to about £2O; this makes the
amount raised up to the present time about £144. The
friends at the meeting undertook to raise ElOO during
the coming year. and preparations are teeing made for
a bazaar to be held in September. During the day
the bazaar wee visited by Mr. J. Galpin, 1. P., and
the friends announce with satisfaction a donation of
10s. from that gentleman towards the funds Alto-
gether the friends are well satisfied with the result of
the day's efforts.

motion of Mr. Mayo, seconded by Mr. Parsons, Mr.
Burnett was re-elected for the parish. There were
some complaints as to the allotment of seats, and the'

careful consideration. The new church will hold com-
fortably 690 persons Mr. Hawkins was chosen by

organist (Mr. H. Norman) should be increased to £lO
per annum, which was unanimously agreed to. Mr.
P. Taylor called attention to the dirty state of the
church, and suggested the ceiling and walls should be
whitened and coloured. The Vicar and the Vestry
generally concurred in the suggestion, and the matter
was left in the hands of the Churchwardens—At
