(Cheiprs.)

Mr. FLonnt said he bad somewhat unexpectedly been
called upon to perform what was always a planing
duty in this county. After hearing the excellent
speech of their worthy President, and knowing how
zealously he laboured for the Innen of the society, he
(Mr. 'Player) wee quite Bun what he was about to_pro-
pose would meet with tho most cordial aupport. When
the President was speaking of gods and goddesses, lie
(Mr. Floyer) expected him to name one who if we did
not live under the light of the gospel would have been
the deity ern named—Pomona, the goddess of fruits,
apple“, end horticultural produce ; and liad the Romans
wished to offer something acceptable to their deity they
could hardly have done better than offer the beautiful
specimens exhibited to-day. (Cheers.) Happily, how.
ever, we lived under the pure light of Christianity, end
while labourer. indulged in honest pride in their moons
they looked thankfully to the Giver of all good. lie
(Mr. Floyer) cordially invited them, as their President
bad already Invited them, to look to Him who had
blessed no less their garden. end plots thau the crop,
and Relds with plenty throughout the country. Having
visited some of the gardens to which attention had been
directed for the purpose of eeleotion for premium., he
was glad to be tilde to say—and he believed he
had the concurrence of his friend, Mr. Hodge
in the opinion —that, taken altogether, the exhibition of
horticulture in the mend gardens and allotment,. was
most satisfactory. He wee pleased to be invited to •
perish which hitherto had not frequently edvaneed
claims for Ellie iniety's prises—Tolpuddle ; and the in-
'peones found the garden. most creditable, cultivation
extremely good, great cleanliness, care, and diligence
visible. This opirdon was borne out by the judges'
awards toelay, for a large ponion of the awards at the
Townliall were to inhabitant; of that village. Labourers
must he aware that there was an earned desire on the
part of employan and others to improve the condition of
the working dune. Now, there wow danger in the cue
of the education of children lest while what au done

SHIRDORNL —Accident—We regret to state that
an accident occurred to Mr. Hellier, commercial
traveller to Mr. Penny, ironmonger, of Sherhorne.
On Thursday week, at Dorchester, he was thrown
from his gig and pitched on his head. He wee taken
to the Oak Inn, and medial advice procured ; and
though it was feared the injuries were very serious,
yet we are happy to say he is progressing favour-
ably.
New COURT•110t181. —The magistrates at their
meeting on Thursday determined to apply for a new
court-house in connection with the police-station. Mr.
Gordon will move at the sessions for a grant of £3OO
for this purpose. The foundations of the station
are being laid in the field at the back of Westbury-
house. _

Tim RAILWAY. —Some of the chiefs of the direct
line have visited the town this week, and the posi-
tion of the station has been one of the matters to
which they have given consideration. It is at pre.
sent understood that it will be either in Mr. Sher-
wood's field or the adjoining one, and there are two
natural lines of approach into the town ,• the one by
way of South•street, the other into Westbury. Soule
persons have pointed out a third way—by taking
down Miss Hurnett's honse—a plan which has only
the objections, that it would involve expense, and
turn into the town at right angles. The works are
being proceeded with, and that portion between
Gillingham and Salisbury only waita for the oomph,-
tion of a bridge by the South Western Company,
and will certainly be opened this year. Works will
not be begun in Sherborme until the spring, when
the Oborne embankment will be available for bring.
log earth from the Milberne cutting, to form the
embankment that will be required through the mot.
dam at the south of the town.

MiLron ABBAS.—On Tuesday the third axial.
tion by the cottager@ and allotment holders on the
Milton estates took place in the Abbey grounds.
The Baron Harare' offers a good number of prises
annually, and on the present occasion there were no
len than 129 exhibitors, and the number of lots lent
by them reached to 592. There were 198 specimens
of potatoes. A spacious tent, graosftilly decorated
with Bowers, contained the competitors' produce.
Tha judges were Mr. Norris, gardener to the Baron,
Mr. (Jill, nurseryman, of Blandford, and Mr. Wilson,
the farm bailiff, while Mr. Bplnks acted as secretary.
A good many persons, despite the rainy Weather,
visited the pleasant scene • and about two o'clock the
tenantry with their familes partook of lunch, with
Mr. and Mrs. Hambro' in the dining•room. About
300 of the exhibitors and their children enjoyed a
bountiful meal on the lawn. As the day wore on
dancing was commrnoed to the inspiring strains of
the Milton band, and foot races, foot ball, and other
games were indulged in. The proceedings termi•
sated by the company, to the number of about 500,
assembling in the Abbey and singing a hymn, and
afterwards "God save the Queen."
