A BUIGLAIT FRIISTILATID.—La4 On Saturday night
an attempt was made to break into the osaillOalle of
Yews Eldridge, Mason, sad 00., @Unite on this
Blandford road, bat the promos of awatcbar on the
premises waned the intending thieves. Access to the
premises were obtained bY wey of Kr. Paul's garden,
and getting over the wall bounding the =tollhouse
prenthee. A pone of stem was broken in a window to
the kiln room jut above des asp, with • view, of
emu, to unfasten the sash and so gain wry estrum.
Bet In tliis direction their further rogues was Pre.
vented by the iron bus with which the window is pro-
tected. They then proceeded up the stone steps to the
window of the room, in whisk sleeps "Ned," tin
rsaltster on watch, ezposting, probably, that at that
time he would be absent. The wane process of
" etude/ the glue" wee her. gone through, but,
fortunately "Ned" wee at home, and the breeksge
awoke him. In mortal terror, for the pleas is said to be
hunted, be cried out •• Who-c-os there? The
burglars wen sadly taken aback at hearing his voiee,
and one of them summed up their dieeppantniont in
this terse and forcible sentence, " —if More
ain't uni'dy there '." They at ones dumped. The
maltster obtained the amiantus of the police, bet no
due could be found at tie thieves, though gnu
suspicion rests on certain well-known ehutiaters in
Ford:igloo. It would appear that their visit was made
with • view to 'greying elf seven largo hams belonging
ing to Mr. T. Gligg, ot the Greet Western hotel erldik
had boon plated in the kiln room to dry.

DIATIIw MI Elrekne.—On Saturday evening, an
Wisest was held by Giles Symonds, 800., eoroner, at
the Guildhall, touching the death of a man semi 5.3,
named Richard Hatcher, wbo for a bog time has been
In the employ of the Corporation en • seavenpr.
Samuel Lester sew Hatcher sweeping from the top of
the to•n to the fair-field gate about two o'clock on
Satarday efternoon. He pet his broom down, and
commenced boating his kande, as if they were mid.
He then stooped to plak op his broom, and, as soon as
he hod dose me, he fell back with the broom in his ,
hand. Witness went to him directly, and • roan
named Charles Gould pleo game up. Hatcher
seemed insensible, and lie !did not speak. All I
he did was to give twe groans. They relmeed
hie shirt collar, sad he wee removed to the
Dorset Cooney Hospital, in • small waggon. Witness I
picked up the broom and went on sweeping in deceased's
place I [We believe be him sines been admitted to all
the dignities mad emolumento of the office vacant by
Hatahard's death.] —Charles Gould went to the hospital
with Hatcher. He was not dead when they started, but
when they got to Gm hospital the hosseoarseon
Young) pronounced him dead. By the wish of Hatcher',
wife his body WU removed to her hoinc—llr. G. Penton,
surgeon, said that he had known the deceased well for
many years, and had atteoded him aa a parish patient.
He had been a constant sufferer from rheumatism, which
within the lost year sad a.half bad effected hic heart
and produced meanie disease there, and had latterly
aloe affected the kidneys. For the last three years be
had bass aneguel to • day's work. On the 9th of lad
month Hatcher eame to him and said he was better and
able to go on with his usual work. He did not ens him
to • ork, and reported him nail for it. He was desidodly
of opinion that death was micarioned by • matte of the
heart. Stooping would be likely to cease it. The
existanee ot diatom of. the heart would affect the
circulation, and, ea • coneequiume, would produce
numbness I. %ha aztroisitiec. The jury returned a
verdict of "Death from petard muses."

LICTOIi. —Lord William Leonia' gave • lecture, last
Thursday evening, in soorneetion with the Working
Men's Institute, oa " Pampa Resnioneence• of Wel.
Rastas." Colonel Mari 111. P., was anaosinoed to
tl prate, and no doubt that was the cense to • greet
degree of the unusually large stedienos shah *Hooded.
Hoverer, by • sineular oonoornows of events, our bon.
and gallant number was preSenlisel from attenclicg.
He was on duty at the Tower with hie regiment, and a
brother officer, on whom he had relied tortilla* him, in
order lo COMO to Dorchester, was that day called to
attend the funeral of • near relative. Disappointment
weal felt at the Colonel's absence, kat, is it was
oeciassooed by the fulfilment of dasy, regret was the
predomiout feeling, for how could there be displeasure?
The Rev. J. Fisher, who has &Drays beeh ready W pro-
mote the interute of our Meal iostitutions, kindly
occupied the choir, aanotniad the maw why he was
in that position, and introduced the lecturer. The
noble soklienlike buries of the old lord, for be is
seventy years of sge, and not free from gout twines,
preposaused the sadism* in his favour, and Hie was
regarded with 1011111 curiosity on amount of the
well-known dory of hie life in conneetien with
Miss Pace, who Weenie his first wife, and from whom
he we. divorced, and, after • seeond had died, his lord-
ship main entered the bond* of wedlock by marriap,
when 64 parse' age, to Mies B. J. Nolynelex. The
lesturer highly eulogised the Iron Doke los his kindly
social qualities, end those eoldier•lika Waite whim are
familiar as household words to us all • and, if there
was not much that is new in the lecture, it afforded
pasture from being related by one wbo was so
Intimate with the Dike as his lordship, in his position
no aide-de-earop. Indeed, the very association of Lord
Lennox with the Duke seemed to make him • sort of
heroin the eyes of the sailiesee, and, after a vote of
thanks bad Mee passed a. Ms lordship on the emotion of
Dr. Aldridge, seconded by 0. Aedrews, Esq. and •
similar asknowledgmeat of the chairman'. seriiess, on
the proposition of tbe Rev. C. W. Bingham, essonded
by Edward Puree, Req., the meeting closed with three
for "the noble lord end his illustrioea subject."
