The " cowlidgmes trick" is tim last more of th•
Tories. A lot of people who really might find some-
thing better to do mai:Ging all roand the town with a
petition, which they intend to send to sont•one with a
queer German sounding patrengrmlc when they can get
names *Gough, to mak him to remincit tbs borough in
Parliament.
" The Wasdarer" trusts that the Bargemes of Poole
are not to be galloi (becanas people who are (iidiad
hay* to go to Kieeengen) into signing anything. If
Mr. What'.l2la-aarne won't come without a lot of
names being signed on paper to aak him—half of them,
no doubt, humbug, like names to a petitionlusually are
—he may as well stop away.

I boar that dt. Paul's Church it to be re-huilt, and
that mai of the congregation has promised a &maims
of a ri note toward' Oa building fund. the WOO note.

I hear that it is current at Po:ketone that "Thu
Wanderer's" remarks so disgusted Sir Ivor assist that
they mord him to retire. II such la the case "The
Wasdirer" 4 rime to ask the Poole Morals to kowl
him a golden wreath like Torsarellre, which he
prowls,' sot to Waft.

That Christchurch held relmtve to ar
Drummond's return was a sad ore. There were only
• doom or two in the room when the Poole break
arrived, and they were so hard up for speakers that
they had to get same of the Poole gentlemen to speak.
Upon hailing Ws piece of news to • friend be replied.
Theo they must have been very hard up for

There was once a greet talk about a Town Councillor
who was said to have canvassed the electors on a
Sunday. This T.C. wee a Liberal, and whoever said
that hi chose the Sabbath for this work morel ttigsriald
lie. As a set-off against this. here is a little
truth —A large number of circulars connected with
what the Blazer says was a very large meedm (bat it
wasn't) were delivered on Sunday in Poole. That was
very wrong of you—' Sir days," trc.
Starts is the name of a mansion which is to be found
mentioned in " Burke's Landed Ge" god,
" Debrett's Peerage" as tbe 'Lanai ,m*s
various members of the . 111. occupied
now by the Chair:ion of the ode Conservative
Association.

On Wednesday the school childnn of Fit. James
are to hare their annual bloat there, and I hope tlnrY
will Iwo • fine day foe It, and will not damaye the
ulna II the members of dismantles schools would
promise to rasped the trees they would doubtless be
allowed I. hold their Create there.

On the 4th of August " several well-known and
Influential gentlemen " will hold forth then.—Mr.
PaddTglyannos real sun ol the Emerald lele, the
two , Mamas. Beaumont and May,
Mr. George Milmtbe versatile comedian, and other
members of Parliament. There will also be cocoa-nut
throwing, vulgarly called " ehietag," and "all the Fun
of the Fair.'
" The Wanderer" is am-17g in &carriage, but demurs
at paying half-a-crown to be admitted. Being a
member of the Pram they will probably let him in
free.

On the same date I hear there are various fetes at
Wimborne, Dorchester, kc., and last, though not
least, I beard a whisper about members of the Poole
Liberal Assodation haring a little bit of fun to them-
selves—but please don't menUon it.

het us hops that before very long the vexed en-officio
question will be indisputably settled. Handeome
contributions have been made to the fund stetted for
wiring this riddle, and quite sufficient m 'nay Is reedy
to carry the question into the House of Lords, if
required.

Perhape the Conservatives imagine the rate-oollsot-
leg question is at rest. They are greatly mietaken if
they do.
I think they had better have left things ea
aim were, for all thim litigation will no tend to
make us better friends, and "We don't want to
fight."
I see that they are moving the furniture into the
Sandbanks Hotel.

Is it true that one of the oaken of the Dorset
Volunteers succumbed to the fatigues of drill, and had
to go home, and ham not turned up yet?
-
The fishermen tell me that Pool* Bar is gradually
shifting to the westward, and in • few years will be in
the same position se it was forty years ego.

Tondo( about Wittman and fish, it is surprining to
notice what a bad town Pools is for fish, notwith-
standing that enormous quantities are caught near
Poole every day—and —seat to London.

I see that Mr. Huey is building • new battery for
the Naval Reserve at Hnmwortliv It is encouraging
to meet • good Liberal like Mr. H. on the other side
of the water ; but I find on enquiry that there are not
yo many Tories in Hamworthy ea there were twelve
months ago. I suppoes it is bemuse the Tory
almoners don't visit their friends there as they do in
Longfieet and Pa-kstone. Certainly they have been
very kind, and I hold • correct list of those who have
received their alms—there are not enough names for
publication yet, though.
