being removed, inside was seen part of • brown cotton

believed that it hod only been born • few boors" while
there were no marks of violence on it. From the flatness
of the chest, the Dr. was unable to pronounce that it had

MACKEREL FISHING PAST AND PRESENT. —lt VInDI4I
seem that seventy-five I,..ars ago mackerel must have been
a very rare delicacy. The fishing was conducted without
the least enterprise, and tho take was always very small.
The smocks during the soft spring months were often
becalnsed at Rea ti;l the fish were spoiled, and when they
did eome to land there was great difficulty and expense in
sending them away toy coach in good condition. It RAS
natural, therefore, that they should be looked on in
London as rare fish and command high prices. Still,
making all these allowances, we were not prepared to
find in the chronicle of the Annan! Register for April 11,
1903, such a statement of prices as the following gives us:
—"April 11th, 1903.—F0r the first time this Reason nine
mackerel were brought to the beach at Brighton which
were immediately purchased for the London market at
Os. GI. each. On the following day (12th) another boat
arrived with twenty-eight more, which were bought with
equal avidity at the same price. On Thursday (11th)
another boat brought ninety-three, which fetched aft -r
the rate of .10s. per hundred. Not a single mackerel has
been retailed there, hut all hove been sent off to the
metropolis." What a change do we see here! Mackerel is
now, thanks to steam, so abundant as to form in the
season a staple and most nutritious at ticle of food for the
poorer classes. This year the best were as low in the
market on the last Bank holiday as to be eagerly sold at
the rate of four a penny. The short autumn mackerel '
season has come in, and a word about this may not be out
of place. Four years or so ago it was almost impossible to
sell these autumn mackerel at any price. The coster-
mongers used to call thern "heart-breakers." Hardly any
of the poor people would touch them, as they were
supposed to as out of season, and therefore almost
poisonous. Seventy-five years ago they were never fished
at all because of this prejudice. Now, there are two
mackerel seasons —one in the spring and the other in
the autumn. The yield of the first is always greater, but
as a matter of the fact, the autumn fish are in liner condi-
tion and have a better flavour than those which come
earlier in the year. Now they are fairly plentiful and
always command good prices. Such are sonic of the
changes which seventy-five years have inade.—From the

GREAT MASONIC GATHERING.

On the afternoon of Saturday the ismare at
Wiinliorne presented such a scene of life as not even
a contested election in olden times would have pro-
duced. The place was crowded with " breaks" and
other carriages, filled with Masons from all parts of
the entity, who, having assembled in the Masonic-hall
and seen the installation ,4 their new l'rov. Grand
Mister, Mr. Montagu Guest, were now about t
proceed to Colima to a banquet liberally, and with
the howpitalityof Stasons, giveim by their new chief. The

Arm...) officiating as director ,if the ceremonies.
At Catiford a grand banquet, prepared by Gunter,
was in readiness. After it several toasts were lire-
'el, and a few speeches made, lint they were mostly
.4 a complimentary character, and did not call for a
report. As special train ;,rrcug.,n'nt' hal been made
it was not necessary to curtail the proceedings, which
were charmingly enlivened by a party of vocalists from
the Chapel Boyal. It was after nine erc the last
toast was proposed.

WEYMOUTH POOR RATES.

To the Editor.

In reply to Mr. Walker's letter in your last imam,
I still maintain that to the beet of my belief Mr.
Walker has never investigated the Weymouth Rate
Books. What copies or pretended copies he may
have had in his possession I neither know nor care.
It now appears, however, that I have to thank him,
and I do so heartily, for being the cause of the Wey-
mouth Rate Books being most thoroughly examined
by the auditor without my having the slightest inti-
mation of his intention to make more than the
ordinary audit of the accounts, as thereby I had the
pleasure of hearing the auditor inform one of the over.
seers of the parish at the olose of the audit, that he
found the accounts correct and very satisfactory. Was
it, however, like an Englishman to thus try and stab
me in the dark. Let Mr. Walker's friends decide.
The alleged large amount of arrears on the rate
made 12th of May, 1874, was £22 las. 3d., and the
arrears of the previous rate was kV 3s. 54., so I will
leave the public to judge how truthful Mr. Walker's
statement is, that the arrears were large.
As to my having ever been called upon for payment
of arrears, I tell Mr. Walker his statement is false,
and as to his having had anything to do with the
reduction of the rates of Weymouth I also tell him
that he also knows, or ought to know, it to be equally
false and untrue. I defy him toprove it, and challenge
him to show bow he did it. Is it not more like the act
of a miserable Yankee, rather than that of an English-
man, to try and take credit for doing what I will
undertake to convince any reasonable person he had as
little to do with as the Pope or the Emperor of China.

extraordinary cure you have performed on me. If I did not
return you such I should consider myself ungrateful.
I, Ellen Dailey, was afflicted with dece-asol knee-Joint for

so much so, that I became an inmate ,if the Salisbury Infir-
mary fir 11 months, where they perform.' an operation on
my hoe. removing the bone which forms the knee-cap
(Patella), after which I was tunic,' out incurable. I was then
prevailed on Si, become an inmate of the Charmouth Con-
valescent Home for three months, from where I was also
turned incurable. At last I was recommended to apply to
you, which I did, and am happy to say, by the use of your
valuable Remedies, in the apace of ins months I received
perfect cure. I have now Iven cured for nearly two yeses,

A meeting of shareholders in this Company was held
on Monday to take bta consideration the advisability
of increasing the capital .d the Company.
The Chairman, Mr. W. DINGLAT, stated that the
consumption of gas went on increasing at the rate of
10 per cent, a year, and now with two holders they
were only enabled to meet the demand upon them with
the greatest difficulty, and in times of extraordinary
demand they would be unable to meet it. They could
get a piece of freehold land adjoining the works on
which to erect the gasholder, for 4:50, hut they would
have to A {mild a wall around it, They had five or six
tenders for the gas holder, and the lowest was over
£1,000; then there were connections, and other
works, which brought the total up to nearly 4:2,000.
; After a very Img discussi in a m.,ti"n in accordance
with the directors' reisimmenikition was proposed IT
; Mr. KINGDJN and seconded by the Rev. C.
1 Rocca,.
Mr. Paesoxs, a director, moved an amendment for
referring the matter bark again to see if the holders
could be enlarged upon the present premises. This
I was seconded by Mr. CH MILER, but was supported
!by only the proposer and seconder. On the question
how to raise the money it was agreed to offer to accept
j it in 5 per cent, preference shares from the present
shareholders, pro rotes.
1 The CHAIRMAN announced that having got the price
of coal reduced in. and of carriage in. a ton, the
directors were going from June to reduce the price of
gas 3d. per 1,000, making it then fs. 4d. net.

around on those who attend ,uch meetings as the present,

gentlemen front the various churches, and private gentle-
men who identdy themselves, not only with this but all
similar institutions. Very recently he had to speak of
Weymouth as having very much improved himself with
regard to its means of education, and the advantage which
I he conceived these improvements were to the town at
large. And if he coulitso speak then, he could speak most
emphatically, as reffitrds the provision made for the
sorrows and sickness, and infirmities, of our poor towns-

The suspense is increased by the telegraphic news of three
