CATTLE INSUBANCE.—A small number of agrioul•
turista (the owners of 700 head of stdok, while there are
it is tatimated horn 12,000 to 15,000 within the Union)
assembled at the Red Lion Hotel, on Thursday, to
determine what measures it was advisable to adopt
mutually to insure themselves against loss through
oattle plague. Mr. J. Furmedge presided. Two exist-
ing associations were brought to the notice of the
meeting—the Wee. Dorset Mutual Cattle Assurance
Association, Put established at Bridport, which they
were invited to loin, and the Norfolk Farmers' and
General AseMranat Company (limited), established in
1848. As to the former there seemed no disposition to
join it, and the premiums of the latter were considered
too high. Nothing remained then bat to form an
association for Beaminster Union, and the Board of
Guardians was appointed a committee to frame rules
for that purpose. Mr. Rendle, the cattle inspector,
was directed to apprise the committee should the
deem break out before the meeting of the committee,
which was appointed for October 12th.
