DORCRICISTZR RIFLE CORPS.

The seventh annual meeting of the 3rd D.R.V. took
place lest Weduesday evening at the head-quarters,
when there was a good miner of volunteer..
Captain CoONsi addressed the comer as follows :
In entering upon their eighth year o service he was
happy to be able to congratulate the corps upon the
seldom which it etill maintained, not only as regarded
numbers and the effieleoey of the men but .100 in
regard
the general esteem in which the corps was
held to
In the twenty. They were now commencing the
season with one more efficient than led year; they had
each received a statement of the firemen of the imepa,
and he concluded that it was of a satisfactory character
--(hear, bear). The remit was a balance in favour of
be corps of 811 4s. 84., and in addition to that they
hail a capitation grant which they would receive some
time this year, sad which would &embargo every claim
upon the eagle for past times, and leave something
over. They lied still to return thanks to several bon.
Members and subscribers for the assistance they bad
tendered to the corps, end although at the same time
they bad to regret the Ices of two or three by death
and otbet casualties which arose, he trusted that they
would be enabled to end others to supply the deficiency
thus caused—(applaose). lie meet direct the attention
of each member to the necessity of using every
endeavour in his power to enlist sympathy in the corps,
and to try and get additional bon. members. The arms
of the corps had been inspected by Government during
the past yew, and the result was most satisfactory,
all the rifies being in good condition, with the
exoeption of two belonging to non-efficient§ •' on the
whole the arms were in a most satisfactory state, and
nothing was required to be done to them except what
might masons* be expected to arise from ordinary
casualties, when in the use of such eel ciente as themaelvw.
It was gratifying, however, that they were enabled to
make • satisfactory report of the erns of the corps. Look •
ins at the useleasuees of giving rites to men merely to put '
them by in the garret or the kitchen, be had ordered
that rides shoull be issued to no men egoept those who '
were efficients, or who really intended to make them-
selves so—(loud applause). He would have no rifles
lying about belonging to men who did not come and
show on parade. It was proposed to continue the dills
during the coming year on Thursday evenings, except
when the adjutant paid his monthly visit. Ile (Capt.
Coombs) had suggested to Adjatant Barrett that it
would be better for him to make his visits on the third
Thursday in the month; but it seemed that it would
rather interfere with his arrangementa, and if so it
Mould be on the third Wednesday, as usual. He
wished them to understand that out of the 13 drills
which took plaits between that time and the Ist of Ray
P•vell must be attended, and out of the next 13, which
brought them up to the time of the camp, *even also must
be attended; without attending these 14 drills no man
would be qualified for the corps prise shooting—(hear,
hear). He must say that last year the dells did not
exhibit that advancement which they might have done,
and he eciasidered this was mainly attributable to the
old hands not coming out to the weekly drills. Now, in
the fine place, lie knew there was an impression among
some of the older members that they did not require
drill—and they dui not want much—but that they
could come and tumble into their places at any time
and do very well; but the corps wouli look much better
and would do their work smarter, if they Game to drill
a little oftener—(hear, hear). There was another im-
portant point. The old hands on parade were more or
less drill-instructors, and without their help it was
most difficult to bring the recruits up to that state of
efficiency which the veterans poseemed. He trusted that
this year there would be lees of that feeling among the
old hands that they could *owe and fall in at any
minute, but they should all try and make the recruits
as efficient as themselves. He hoped that the drills
would be more numerously attended than they had
been sometimes, and they should not allow the mosiers
on parade to be f emed of a single line of recruits.
There was a very important matter which he hoped to
he able to arrange with the employers in this town, and
he belied they would make an effort to enable
every man to get his three battalion drills.
either in camp or elasorliere--(applauee). He sincerely
hoped the camp would be continueel—thmigh it was not
quite decided yet as to their g deg under c teas this
year. But when it was recollected that • man could
'complete his three battalion drills at ca.np within a
touple of days, it was asking but little that men should
be enabled so to attend—(hear, hear). In consequence
of employers not having been consulted in some in.
stances, they had had to send men a hundred miles in
order that they might make themselves Ificient. He
'ovegratulated the company upon having got a disc•inark
tog epparatuo of its own, so they would be able to shoo
with all the advantages accruing to that system. The
thanks of the corps were due to Eneign Williams, who
had prevented them with this valuable acquisleon—
(cheers). It was purrome to commence the elaseshoot-
leg the moment the days become long enough and the
weather sullicieney settled to give some chance of its
being properly carried on. Last year the result of the
clam-shooting wee must eatiefeetory, end it was tbouolit
advisable this mama to commence as early as poieible,
when he trusted everyone would make the best possible
effort to attend when his section was summoned. It
they could net all in a ovation out together, it woeld
not only relieve the .1110 is. hot it would effect a
material praying to the funds of the corps, 'brume,. as
they most all be aware, there was pretty much the
same impalas attending it when they had only See
shooting as when there were —(hear, boat), He
should leave Lieut. Hodges to talk to them about the
shooting, and he amid only say he should be happy to
Continue the pewtern as heretofore, with the ernidiiimia
that no more should anent until the competitor was ow
of the third clam Th re was one question with trip et
to their future erills which he wished them to consider.
'They all knew that at prevent the show were closed at
seven o'clock, and did they think it would beprocticald..
to amenable for drill at 73(1 instead of eight as at provetit!
—(voice : "Yes"). Whet he propneed ma. this, Hat
the firm bugle should sound at SPV•II o'cifoek, and the
'Dimond at 7.30, so that they might be able to get through
the work earlier, which would be of rime advantage to
those who resided at a diotance from the town.
(Sergeant Driurme : "The shops will remain open until
edge% o'eloek after the filet 01 111 arch.") Theo he (the
Captain) thought they could meet at 7.30 up to that
time- (applause). There was one word which he hilt'
bound to my with reopect to their band, which had
bow became an established feet in connectinn with the
corps. The band was roongnieed at a valuable acquisii
doe to the oorpe and to the bowie and it had gone on

Headmaster Wallowing for the great efficiency that the
band had attained, and he hoped they might long be
able to say DA at present, the 3rd Dorset bend wog
mooed to none in th.. battalion, notwithstanding the
big noise the big instrument in the Blendford band
makro—Houghter and cheers). In conclusion he wished
thins all joy sad prosperity in sommeneing the year,
and he eongrotuleieil himself on retaining the hemmer
and pleasure of commanding them—(oheers.) He
trusted they might go on throughout the year as
good friends, gaining in mutual regard for each other,
and at the end of the year they might wind up as sea-
factorily as they had done in the past—(bmar, hear.)
They had not bees ewe to get the pewter. engraved in
in time for distribution at their annual supper • bat
they had now been rent in. In distritintirm the WI
the pliant implain stated that Private Gedwin had w
two; but he hal eramted the nation of taking some
spoons in lien of one of the wedeln. The other winners
were—Colour-Sergeant Gregor'', Sergeant Creel, Private
C. Parsons, Private Jeffery, and Private G. Oms, lie
trusted that next year thew might have a greet 6.4
more trouble to win the prises, and test he might have

The mooessful competitoru were loudly cheered by
their comrades.

had originally purchased the Severn for about £5,000 of
a person named asset. but that wishing to conceal the
feet of their ownership, they procured a person named
Ward to beeocne the registered owner, giving bins £5O
for so doing. and it was alleged that this was part ol a

Ltimeetitt Stirreff The coofereme on the
@arcs of the licensing system took place on TUesday
an Wednesday. In the course of the debates it was
affirmed by resolutions which were sdopted that the
resent number of intoxicating drinks ought to be
diminished; that the power of granting licenses should
be exclusively vested in local magistrate., and that the
decision of those magistrates should be regulated by the
opinion* which the inhabitants may severally or oullec-
lively regarding the seafits of any dkniet. A
resolutim was also pealed approving of the general
mope of the Liverpool Bill. Great impatienoe appears
to have been exhibited at times when speaker. dissented
from the general (minim, and by those, too, who are
loudest in their cry for toleration. What wes rather
unusual, tbe &let dissenter was a lonian Catholic
clergyman, who ezpremed sentiments somewhat at
variance with those of Lreliblehop Manning in the same
sitting.

little old man, with a number of papers in his hand,

Thursday. to complain of what he termed a most
astounding, unprecedented, and heartless display of
wickedness, unchristian sad unfeeling conduct on the
part of • Woman) to whom he had been paying most

of beauty and Means wished to meet with a partner
who would make her happy for life. Tired of a single

Well, sir, everything was ready for the marriage;

woman love the old man or marry him. Se looked
over the love hitters of the woman which were written
very badly and in very amatory te.rms. The reeding of
them by the magistrate created great mirth. Ur.
Paget returned them to the would-be husband of the
women who had Jilted him, and said he rancid do
nothing for him at all; but, If he was so advised, he
could bring an action against the faithless fair one for
