BRIDPORT.

George Horne, eboot machinist from Welling-
borough, employed at Messrs. Warren and C 0.., went
on Monday morning, with two other youths about his
own age-18 years—to bathe in the sea. On approseh-
leg the harbour Home feared they could not go to the
sea and bathe, and get home in time for dinner and
to go to work. He therefore recommended that they
should bathe in the river. To this they assented.
Home had not long been in the water before he oried
out, being an inexpert swimmer; One of his companions
swam to him, but he eased him so tightly that both
sank, and it was only with difficulty the other was
enabled to eztrioate himself, and reach the shore.
Horne sank. Both companions ran for assistanoe, but
three quarters of an hour elapsed before be WM taken
from the water, quite dead. In the evening an inquest
was held by N. M. Loggin, Esq., and a verliot of
accidental death returned.

BRADFORD PEVERELL.

AUTSTIOIAL CURATES' 8001 ITT. —The Rev. a T.
Prooter, on Sunday afternoon, advocated the cause of

the Rev. 11. Everett preached, and the oollsetion
amounted to over £4.

VAGARIES OF THB PRIVKITTION OF
CRUELTY TO ANIMALS socurY,

The Field calls attention to the emtio career of the
Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Aoimtls. remarking that no rule seems to have guided
them in seleotiug oases for prosecution. At one time
cropping dogs' tails is oonsiderod criminal, while horses
and lambs are allowed to be mutilated in the same way
with impunity. All at once, and without notice, Lori
iliddieton's first whip is selected for punishment
because to horse ridden by him in • severs ran died soon
afterwai is, although it is notorious that every year for
the last century the same thing has *marred as almost
a neownary concomitant of the sport. It is seldom,
however, that we meet with so oomplete • mistake as
that made by the society in recently summoning Mr.
II In plan& ....tor a Oin 1:1,n rods. before Mr.
Darnall, at the Ilsmnicrimith police-court, for cruelty
to a horse. It seemed the animal jibbed persistently,
and Mr. Coupland, twitting the thong of • hunting
wbio round the handle, struck it on the heed, neck
and legs from 12 to 16 times, and afterwards used the
thong two or three times on its body. Mr. Cayman,
In dismiuing the summons, said that lately the society
seemed to have lost sight of, or mieconesived the
principles of the Act under which they were enrolled,
and had on several occasions sought to strain it, and
that be feared in consequenoe the Ant was getting
Into disrepute; with which remarks (says the Field)
we cordially agree. If they pursue their present
course, we shall probably soon hear of their prow:Ming
grouse shooters for not carrying load water for their
dogs, which our respected friend the moan of Rhiwlas
Moors seems now to consider a necessary of canine
life.

EXECUTIONS IN TUE UNITED STATES.
Hanging a man in the United States is performed by
jerking him upwards, not by letting him tall. A
murderer executed on the 26th of Nay at Evansville,
Indiana, died in ten minutes. Another, hang on the
same day at Fonda, New York, wee pronounced dead in
fourteen minutes ; tan minutes after the rope was
pulled up dis pulse was still beating. A more minute
aocennt is given of }falloff, who was hung at Binghamp-
ton a week before. "At eight minutes the loop were
filled by inhalation ; at nine minute. there were 21
pulsations to the minute; at twelve minutes the pulse
was Imperceptible ;at fourteen minutes there was no
pulsation of the heart. Prononneed dead in twenty
minutes." "When jerked up he bad his hands in his
pantaloon pockets, but the violence of the shock of the
body settling down upon the rope pulled out the right
hand. Eyes simosestarted from their sockets to see
that hand move backwards three or fear ladies and
thrust itself into the pocket jam as it was before."

ENTIRE WHEAT FLOUR.
(CEIAPMAN'S PATENF PREPARED.)

THE NEW FARINACEOUS FOOD for
Mugs, Children, tse., surpasses all others in
nutritive value and elm of digestion. Its coasts t use
much facilitates the operation of Teething (owing to
its richness in phosphatic exits), and sparts the infant

The superiority of the Entire Wheat Floor to Arrow-
root, Corn Flour, Sago, and other Starches is obvious.
For Children Growing the use of Entire Wheat Flour,
in the form of puddings, &a, is very beneficisl, counter-
acting the tendency to weakness of the bones and
defectiveness in the teeth so often observed, especially
In children who have been fed too much on white

SLIAFTESBURY.

Comm COURT, Tharaday.—Before T. E. P. fvfr,y,
Beg. —Andrews v. Kennard. The plaintiff, • farmer
reviling at slarnhull, brought an action to recover from
the defendant, who is the rector of the parish, the
sum of £lO. for the loss he had sustained by the death
of nine lambs, between the months of February and
April of this year. Mr. H. 0. D•shwood,of fiturininster
Newton, condueted the plaintiff* awe, ant Mr. Bompu,
instructed by Yr. tilwyer, appeared for the defendant.
The plaintiff proved that he began to loose his iambi
in the early part of February, and that on • certain,
evening afterwards he and his wife, whilst walking
through the Home Field, saw defendant's dog come
through the adjoining hedge and chav the flock. He
drove dm off, but the next morning • lamb was found
dead. On • subsequent °evasion • mite named Hum-
' piing saw the dog in the field chasing tbelacebs,and saw
him knock one over. The defences was that the dog
was always kept in the house, at night, that there
were other dogs like defendant's in the neighbourhood,
and that plaintiff himself had somplained in the first
instance of • dog belonging to • Yr. Cutler. The
defendant and his serv,ust, Mr. Cutler's housekeeper,
and Hare, the police constable stationed at Kern.
hull, were examined In the support of his defenee.
The jury returned • verdict for the defendant. Mr.
Below sail he was instrtioted by Mr. Kennard not to
ask for the costs, which, by the verdict the jury had
returned, he would be entitled to, as Mn. Andrews was
• parishioner against whom he had no ill-feeling what-
ever, lie had only defended these proceedings from a
Elm onariation that it was not his dog that had done
the mischief. Had he had the least suspicion that it
was it who had killed the lambs he should have fully
compensated the plaintiff.
