ANNUAL SALE OF MR. T. MARTIN'S RAMS
AND EWES AT SELF WICK.

On Thursday, July 30th, this annual re-union
of the leading agriculturist' of the district tech ANN
the well-known superiority of the Hoek which Mr.
Martin always places before the public drawing
together as usual a large assembly of friends
and neighbours, as well as of gentlemen from a
distance. It has been customary on them occasions
for the worthy hat to provide for the "creature
comforts" of his guests, and on the present occasion
everything that could give satisfaction and add to
their enjoyment was provided. About 2 o'clock the
company being assembled to the number of about 180,
sat down to a very recherche repast, served up in
firthclass style in a large and ndsome nee
erected in • field opposite Mr. Martin's hoses.
whole of the interior arrangements were very pretty
—laurels being formed into festoons, and hang front
the supporta of the tent, while along the tables
were placed at intervals beautiful tlowere in these,
ie. The repeat was provided, and the whole of the
arrangements were made by Mr. Alfred Ellis, of
the Crown Inn, Vi unbonie, whose attention and
catering was the subject of deserved commendatioN.
TIN chair was taken by J. C. Pius, ER., of
flenbury House, and after ample justice hod
been done to the good three provided,
including several bumpers of excellent champagne,
which, with the whole of the wines, were most
excellent, that gentleman proposed the usual loyal
and patriotic toasts, at the same time a:preening
his great pleasure in fleeing around him so many
old and new friends. He thanked God for the
great liberty enjoyed in this country, which was dm
to our excellent constitution, and contrasted that
liberty with the tryanny and despotism under
which the unhappy Poles were suffering, at the same
time giving it as his opinion that it would be highly
injudicious for England to take up arms on their
behalf.
In proposing the health of the Prince and
Princess of Wales, the Cnaiamax expremed a hope
that the prince would prove what his father had
been, and provide for the country as well as he had
done. (Cheers and Laughter.)
The " Health of the Bishop and Clay" was
then given, and suitably responded to by the Bev.
Mr. Scorr, who in the course of his remarks com-
plimented Mr. Martin on his perseverence, at the
Ithle ex prerring a bops that the dire made
would be satisfactory to that grE: He also
alluded to the absence of Mrs. • and trusted
she would soon return in health to the heed
of her husband. (Cheers.)
The C.ILIRMAN then gave the "Health of the
young squire of Kingston." No young am in the
whole county had brighter proapeots before him,
and he was sure all would agree with him in sincerely
wishing that he might grow up an honour and a
blessing to the county. So for as be mold judge
there was every probability of his doing so. He
knew him personally, and could siit to his many
amiable qualities. (Drank with three times three.)
The "Health of Mr. Martin" was then
by the CHAIRMAN, who alluded to tbe unbounded
liberality of their host, and expressed his belief that
the stock to be exhibited that day would greatly
exceed in symmetry of form and ezoellence of cos-
dittos what had been offered as previous oseasions.
Ile trusted Mr. Richards would have no theme to
complain, and that all would return home fully
satisfied. He also trusted that they would honour the
toast by three times three. (Loud and Icarean-
tinned cheers.) .

MRT intitably replied, vs:preening his deep
obligations to the malty friends armed him kw the
hearty way in which they had drank his beshit.
The stock he had to offer was the beet he amid piece
before them, and he earnestly hoped it might mast
with their approbation. if. had spored neither
expense nor exertion to procure the beet dock. He
would now drink the health of his friends present,
wishing them long life and happiness.
A special cheer was then given for Mr. liadolyffe,
whose absence was much regretted.
Mr. W. MARTIN then proposed the " Health of
of the Chairman," which was most heartily
received, and an extra cheer given for his lady
and family.

Me CuAuutax, in responding. mon heartily
thanked then for the honour they bad done him.
He could not forego the present opportunity at
callin4 their attention to the desirability of removing
the mills off the Stour. He considered this was •
question which ought Bret to be discussed by the
Blandford Club, and then the =Star p/aced in the
hands of Lord Portman, or some other influential
gentlemen resident in the neighbourhood. It waa
his opinion, that if that nurse was adopted, in •
short time the mills would soon be removed. As •
proof of their inefficiency in their pruning state, he
said Ix could not get anything from his. Thorp was
another subject to which he wished' to allude, and
that was, the unfairneee of paying the skilled
labourer the same amount of wages as the worst in
the field. He trusted this system would soon be
altered, believing, as he did, that it was not only
unfair to the men, but injurious to the farmers them-
selves. He paid his men according to their ability
and diligence. After alluding to the amemment of
the county, the Chairman proposed the " Health of
the Strangers," coupling with the toast the name of
Mr. Edney. (Cheers.)
Mr. EMMY, in a humorous speech, acknowledged
the oompliment, and expressed his sincere hope that
the bide that day would far exceed those of format
ean. The "Health of the Vice Chairman" (Mr.
Henry Fookes) was than proposed and heartily re-
mired, and the company rose to proceed to **nem
