THE DUKE OF WESTMINSTER ON OPEN

CHURCHES.

The Duke of Westminster on Friday night presided
over a meeting of the Chester Diocesan Open Church
Association. His Grace, in opening the meeting,
proposed that no formal rssolutions should be
submitted, but that they should discuss the three
principal objects of the association—namely, the
abolition of pew rents and of seat appropriation, the
revival of the weekly offertory, and the opening of
churches daily for private prayer. The association
did not, he said, seek to attain what they desired by
the alteration of the law, but rather to bring back
churches that had gone beyond the law within the law
itself; and very often such an alteration involved more
difficulty than going to law. The present movement
was to alter the customs of the inhabitants of the
nation which had been in existence for 200 years or
more. They endeavoured by i üblic meetings to
establish a sound healthy public opinion, believing
that if the question was well considered and known
the progress of the association would lis more decided,
and that eventually the whole of the objects which the
association wished to attain would be secure]. Since
the association had been egablished considerable
results haul followed ; but, at the same time, there was
still a very considerable field to cover. The difficulty,
of course, arose from those persons—and they were
very numerous—in possetsion of the pews, whether
rightly or wrongly, in the churches, and they could
only hope to influence them by showing them the evil
of the present system. He had in his mind persons
who were absolutely proprietors of pews, and, eccept
by favour, it was utterly impossible for the bosly of
the parishioners and the poorer classes to have any
sitting in those churches, and that seemed to him a
most scandalous state of things. (Loud applause.) It
was one of those scandalous things which they hoped
by degrees to remedy. The recent mission services
seemed to prove that if the churches were more free
than at present tee working classes would attend them
more frequently than they were in the habit of doing.
In conclusion, his Grace said the present movement
was worthy of all support and consideration, not only
in(heater but in the diocese at large.

An agrarian murder was committed near Ltallyunion„

A SHAREFUL HUSBAND.

At the iherough Petty Sessions on Wednesday Ltd
Thomas Knight' was brought up for threatening to do
grievoue bodily harm to his wife, Franees Knight The
Mayor (Mr. Lundie),ler. Dreer.and Mr. J. Milts-dee were the
magistrate•—Prisoner was also charged with being drunk
and riotourt—The wife swore that yesterday morning her
husband came to 11, R alderniee, where she was work-
ing, and threatened to put her lo a•I in the lire. She had
been 10 years as cook ; had come home last August from a I
comfortable situation, and a fortnight after he was no bad
as ever. She wanted nothing of him, as she was a good
cook, and could get her living; but she wished him to let
her keep her daughter. On this day he came to her place
of service drunk, and struck her on the head, besides
trying to trip her up, and threatening to put her head in
the fire—The prisoner, a sour-looking fellow, with a rim-
temptuous sneer about the mouth, said that what his
wife said was not true. -Serg..ant Harvey was sent for to
It, Royal-terrace, and found defendant there very ilrnuk.,
and in a very excited state. The wife wished to give him
into custody, but he told her ehe had better gets warrant
While she was g..ne defendant was very much excited,
and witness thought he was going through the window:,
Its resisted when arrested—Eliza Squibb, a young„
servant at 11, Royal-terrace, said defendant constantly
came to the house. He had no right lobe there as he had
his food carried to him regularly; but he came two or ,
three times a day, and nearly always drunk. Several !
times he had threatened to cut his wife's throat, and
yesterday threatened to put her head in the fire; she also
saw him strike her on the bead. She die not speak •
word to him when he came in yesterday.—ln answer to
Dr. Drew, Mrs. Knight said she found her husband in
food, as he did not earn enough to pay house rent. She
had lost several places owing to her husband's insults, as
the people would not have her in the house when he Mile
after her.—Mr. Vickery stated that defendant had been
confined once already; and the wife said that she had
allowed ls. • day to keep her husband when he was suffer-
ing from delirium tr,men,s on nt-count of drink. -Prisoner
said when his wife was at 16 in the Terrace he had every
one of his meals there. —The Mayor said that had nothing
to do with Knight's ill-treatment of his wife: he had no
right to go into Mrs. Stuckey Wood's kitchen, for it was
hers while she rented it They thought nothing but
punishment was fit for prisoner, and he was sent to hard
labour at Dorchester for one month, and after that to

Tits members of the I;ongregational Chapel of this
place had their annual tea and meeting oil Monday.
Although the day was wet a goodly number of members
and friends from all parts of the county put in an
appearance. The tea was held in the chapel, which was
decorated with evergreens and mottoes, the most con-
spicuous being those over the reading desk—" Praise ye
the Lord," and "Unity is Strength," the work of a young
lady of this parish. The lettere were beautifully drawn, sur-
rounded by flowers of all shades and colours, and reflected
great credit on its designer. May she be still with us at
the next anniversary to use her fair fingers again in no
good a work. About MO persons partook of the good
things provided, and the way they enjoyed themselves
gave satisfaction to the ladies and gentlenien who assisted

POOLE.

" GREAT " CONSERVATIVE DEMONSTRATION.
The third annual fete and picnic held in Canford Park
on Monday, in connection with the Poole Conservative
Association might have been successful as an outing had
the fickle Goddess of the weather smiled on it but as a
political demonstration it was a failure. The "members
and friends" of the Association met at the Conservative
Hall at 10 o'clock in the morning, and formed • procession,
hut there were under 900 men and boys present, all told.
The procession was accompanied by three bands and the
" splendid banners," presented last year by the "dis-
tinguished" patrons of the Association, but these gentle-
men were non est oa Monday. After parading the streets
for some time the party was conveyed by a special train to
Wimbome, where the procession was re-formed and
marched to Canforil Park. Several thousands of persons
—the fair sex being of course, well represented—visited
the Park, and amused themselves by watching the per-
formances of Mr. Charles Roberts's company of artistes
from L indon. A public meeting was to have been held
at fur o'clock, but about that time the rain came on and
continued throughout the evening, the only consolation
for vi.iitors being that they were spared the infliction of
"orations" from Sir Ivor Guest and the other "guns" of
the Association.

BROADDL&YNIS.

Tile. animal festival of the Broadmayne and West
Knighton schools was held on Thursday. By the kind in-
vitation of the Rector, the Rev. W. Urquhart, the
children with their parents, teachers, awl friends assem-
bled at the rect,wy, where singing and marching was
much enjoyed. Waggons decorated for the oreasion
awaited the younger children. A procesi..ion was formed
at the rectory, headed by the members of the Band of
Mope, carrying fiags and banners, they marched through
the village to a field on Glebe Farm—a no•t beautiful pot
which had been selected for the occasion—where flags
with "Welcome' and "Unity" were iiisplayed. An
abundant supply of cake and tea was liberally provided
by the Rector. The good things were thoroughly enjoyed
by over :109 persons, including school children, the parents,
members of the Band of [lope, and numerous friends.
After tea games of every description, such as running for
prizes, jumping in sacks, running with an egg in a spoon,
fir., were much enjoyed. The weather was all that could
be desired, and the field formed quite an attraction.
Among those present were the Rev. W. and Mrs. Urquhart,
and family, Rev. P. Sylvester, Mr. It. Furointge, Mrs.
Furmidge, Mrs. Cockram, the Messes Coekrani, and •
1 large her of the people of the parish. After spending
a most pleasant day all returned to the Rectory, where
hearty cheers were given for the much respected and
highly esteemed Rector and his family. Singing "God
Save the Queen," brought this pleasant day to a close.

beetle has appeared in a potato field near Schildau, in
the district of Torgan, not far from the frontier of
Saxony.

THE COLORADO LARY..

---
Two living specimens of the Colorado beetle are said
to have been discovered on bowl a steamer which
arrived a few daps at Liverpool from New York, and
that upon the receipt of distinct evidence of this much
to be regretted fact, the Duke of Richmond and
Gordon at once directed the eminent entomologist,
Mr. Andrew Murray, to proceed to Liverpool to in-
stitute an inquiry into the circumstances connected
with the importation of that dreaded insect, and to
consult with the local authorities as to the most
efficient means of arresting the mischief likely to
result from its introduction into this country.

TERRIBLE STRUGGLE Willi A DESPERADO.
_ . .

.... _
At a special sitting of the Derby Magistrates, on Thurs-
day afternoon, a desperate rase of attempt to murder was
heard. It appears that on June 29th a man named John
Johnson arrived at Derby station in a train from the west,
and when he was in the town his movements were so
suspicious that Detective Hesse), determined to watch
him. In following out this resolution the officer watched
his =duct amnngst the country people who were in the
market, and ultimately followed him into the shop of a
newsagent in Nottingham-road. He there inquired the
inan's business, and what was his trade; but he per-
sistently declined to Answer him, and endeavoured to leave
the shop. The offi rer, however, detained him, and the
' prisoner then berm: greatly exasperated, and said that he
would blow the offices s brains out, if he did not let him go.
At rhe fame instant h- produced a pistol from his coat
pocket, and after assuring the officer that it was loaded
and capped, pointed it at his forehead and pulled the
trigger. Fortunately, the cap snapped, and the pistol did
not go off. A desperate encounter ensued, for the officer
rushed at him and seized him by the collar, while he
determinedly tried to free himself. Ile afterwards pulled
an open knife out of his pocket, and drew it across the
officer's left hand twice, inflicting such injuries that the
hand fell powerless la his site. Tbe officer still maintained
his hold, and directly afterwards the prisoner stabbed him
in the throat. This dreadful scene was witnessed by a
young woman, who ran for assistance, and a man went to
the officer's aid, but prisoner inflicted a wound on his hand
with the knife, and threatened to murder anyone who
came near. At length he was secured and taken to the
lock-up, where a pistol, a powder-flask, with bullets and
gunpowder, where found in his possession. Hessey was
so badly wounded and lost such a quantity of blood that
his life was despaired of for some time, and he had been
unable to give evidence until Thursday. The prisoner
made an unsuccessful attempt to induce the magistrates
to believe he was insane, and they committed him for
trial.

The annual regimental sports came off on Saturday last
at the Verne. They untally take place on the let of
August in commemoration of the battle of Minden, but
owing to the recent arrival of the regiment, and the heavy
duty at Portland, the regiment was unable t get ready
for them until Saturday last. They were announced by
the crier in the Island, but owing to the shortness of the
notice there was only a very small number of civilians
present. The weather was indeed favourable, being
liright and clear, and the arrangements seemed to be good.
The sports began shortly after noon, and about half-past
two the regimental hand arrived, and played during the
remainder of the day.
The soldiers competed for the following prizes :-
