MARLBOROUGH.

A Mau FOUND DEAD ON THE DOWN& Old
bill•sticker, named Honeybone, 75 years of age. was
found dead early on Friday morning on the Hockley
Downs. On Mr. Taylor's raos horses going out to
take their morning gallop, the foreman observed a
man lying down on his beck near a waggon load of
tan. On looking at the body it was at one, nee
that the num was dead. A oommunicatioo was
promptly mad* to the police, and medical assistance
sought. Mr. Leathern, assistant to hr. Maurice,
proceeded to the place, and just as he had arrived, a
young man, the son of the deceased, and his land-
lord, came up in search. They stated that Honey-
bone had, alter partaking of a small piece of bread
and some tea, on the previous morning, gone to the
Downs to gather mushrooms. Not ooming home all
night they had started in search of him, and must
have previously passed within a few yards of the
spot where the body has been found, but did not
discover it in the dark • A shilling was found in the
deceased's pocket The medical man has no doubt
that exhaustion from want and fatigue was the cause
of his being unable to regain his boom

routes by which the isLinds can be vetted from

steamers leave three times a week from Southamp-

hampton, so that there is no lack of communicatioo.
For ourselves on arriving at Weymouth from Wor-

a roundabout route), we made ourselves comfort-
able for the night at one of the well appointed hotels
at that clean little town. As the Weymouth

BRADPOLE.

FONIR•L or TUB LATE MIL ROBERT HILL—
The mortal remains of the old and much esteemed
clerk of this parish were buried on Monday week is
the beautiful churchyard of the perish. For forty
years had this true and faithful Christian man led
the congregation of the church in her services, and
performed in • consistent and upright manner the
different duties of his office. Out of respect to such
an old and tried officer of the church, the clergy of
the parish walked in their robes from the late resid-
ence of the demand to church, immediately pre-
ceding the coffin. As the mournful a:wive wended
its way up the hill, it was joined on all sides by the
parishioners, analogs to show the last mark of re.
speot to one so generally beloved. On arriving at
the churchyard gate, the beautiful servies for the
dead commenced, and as the body WM slowly
lowered to its last earthly resting-plaoe, many a head
bent forward to catch a last glimpse of an old friend
and a faithful permit of God. The deceased was 73
years of age.

may be calculated at 16,000 below the nomb_r generally

hated to the abundance of keep in gram, turnip., and

fore Mr. Registrar Hazditt —Re Alfred Collins.
This was • meeting for the further proof of debts,
and molting a dividend under the bankruptcy of
Alfred Collins, of Stalbridge, Doreetahire, iron-
Lionger and general dealer. Air. Treberne, of the
firm of Treherne and Wolferstan, solicitors, 75,
Aldermanbury, appeared for the creditor's assignee,
Joseph Austin Hart, Esq., of Moorgathetrret,
public accountant and auditor. The bankrupt's
creditor principally reside at Sherborne, Btalbridge,
Bristol, Bridgewater, Frome, Veovil, Tomes, Win-
canton, Shaftesbury, Exeter, and Batista*. end the
oiroamstances of the 0111110 may be thus briefiy summed
ap : On the 4th of June (only three months ago), the
bankrupt petitioned the Court under the advice of
Messrs. Tretierne and Wolferetan, and was granted
protection from arrest. The total amount of hiadebta
and liabilities were then stated to be L 1646 6.. 10d.,
and it appeared from the balance-sheet on
which he pawed his examination, that his total resets
(including property in the bands secured creditors)
were £7.41 19s. lit, leaving • deficiency of
£904 7s. 91. On the 30th July the bankrupt
passed his examination before the Senior-Commis-
sioner, Edward Holroyd, Esq., and obtained his
order of discharge, and an allowance of £lO was
granted him put of the meets in hand with the con-
tent of his creditors. It now appeared from the
accounts furnished by Mr. Graham, the official '
assignee, that there is • sum of £330 in hand, which
the creditors resolved to divide forthwith after pay-
ment of all necessary cost and charges. A number
of additional proofs on behalf of country creditors
were tendered- and admitted, and the proceedings
terminated, the estate having been administered in
bankruptcy in little more than three monthe, • fact
almost unprecedented in this Court. The dividend
may be received in a few days upon application to
the official assignee, Mr. Graham, of Coleman-street.

end captain of the 9th Dorset (Shaftesbury) Rifle
Volunteers. The painful intelligenoe was communi-

away from home at the time. A large family are ,
left to mourn the lose of an affectionate mother by I
this melancholy occurrence. This estimable lady
was most deservedly esteemed by all who had the
honour of knowing her ; as she possessed in an
eminent degree all those Christian graces which
ennoble the character of woman. By the poor, to
whom she was a kind benefactor, her loos will be
severely felt. Bel death has cut a gloom over the
town and neighbourhood, and the most profound
sympathy is felt by the inhabitants towards Mr.
Gordon and his family.

peach trees:—" Mv trees were in a valley close to al
rivulet, and with nothing but a high thorn hedge toi
the west between them and the stream. Before
took to sheet coverings I never had enough fruit te
611 my hand.; the frosts following heavy dews and
rains destroyed the blossoms, and in some oases the
set fruit. After I took to keeping the blossoms dry
I gained in nine years 4563 beautiful peaches from
my three trees, which are now in fine condition.
three trees are nearly in united ages 150 years old.
Two of them are as fin* trees as any in Europe. The
other is lea, good condition as it oould be made to
be. I left on the trees 377 fruit this year, but owing
to my having removed, and there being no one
there to stop the shoots and water them during
stoning, I believe that =my fell during that trying
promos.
