SOMERSET AND DORSET RAILWAY.

A special meeting of thedireetors and shareholders of
this company was held on Wednesday, the let at
the Crown Hotel, Blandford, for the purpose of con-
sidering and confirming the terms of an agreement
entered into between the North Somerset and Somerset
and Dorset Company, for the extension of • narrow.
guage line from the Pylle-station of the latter to
Shepton Mallet, and then by the Somerset Extension
through Hadstock to Bristol. The chair was taken by
the Night Hon. Lord Rivera, and there were also
present D. Warry, Esq., (deputy-chainnan,) J. C. ,
Manse!, W. Toogood, —Rocke, Esqrs., and Mr.
Swayne and Mr. Welsh (directors). Very few share-
holders were present.
The CHAIRMAN said the object of their present meet-
ing was to consider the propriety of adopting and con.
firming certain agreements which had been entered into
between the North Somerset Railway Company aud
their own. He did not for One moment suppose but
that the intended extension of their line by the aid of
the North Somerset Company would meet with the
general approval of the shareholders, and they thought
it would be far better to enter into such arrangement
than for their own company to make the line. The
North cionserset were about to ask powers from Parlia-
ment to make a line from the Shepton Mallet station to
Bristol, and by the Somerset and Dorset Company
making a line of only about three miles in extent from
Pylle to Shepton Mallet, they would have a direct COM.
munication with Bristol without any broad guage inter-
veiling. By these means they would not be obliged them- j
selves to go to Parliament, and bethought if they could
keep out of Parliament it would be best. The present
meeting was therefore called to obtain the sanction of
the shareholders to the agreement entered into be-
tween the directors of the two companies.
Mr. W. C. FISCUS'S enquired if the scheme would
be required to go before Parliament if it was un-
opposed?
The CHAIRMAN said that the North Somerset
Company would of course have to get the sanction of
Parliament for the extension of their line, in which
that part made by the Somerset and Dorset would be
included, and also the arrangements made between the
two companies.
One of the Directors here remarked that the scheme
was almost sure to be oppmed.
Mr. R. A. READ then read the various items of the 1
agreement, which is to last for 20 years, and
The CHAIRMAN then proposed "That the agreement,
now read, and bearing date the 23rd November, 1864,
between the Somerset and Dorset Railway Company
and the Bristol and North Somerset Railway Company
of the other part be, and it is hereby confirmed and
adopted." This was seconded by Mr. Collier, who
expressed his satisfaction that one of the chief Objects
the Company had in view, namely, a through cominuni-
cation with Bristol was likely to be attained. He bad'
no doubt but that, should they succeed, it would
greatly increase the value of their line.—The motion
having been put was carried mem. ems.
The CHAIRMAN bald the next proposition he had to
bring before them was in the form of a request. If
they had confidence in their board of directors he did
not think but they would grant it, and so far as he
knew the directors had done all in their power for the
success of the line. The request they made was that
they might be empowered to borrow from the capital
of the company the sum of £lOO,OOO, or such gam as
might be deemed neoesaary by them to carry out the
arrangementa entered into with the North Somerset
Railway. He had no doubt if those arrangements were
carried out a much larger amount of rolling stock in
engines, carriages, &c., would be-required. There were
also many improvements necessary to be made in their
line, which would entail considerable out-lay. He did
not sea the gentleman present, but ihey would
remember that at their last meeting, a gentleman said
that their line was the worst managed of any in
England, and then when it was asked what 'Mange was
required the answer was that a better station was re-
quired at Spettisbury. (Laughter.)
Mr. W. C. Palmas inquired whether it would not
be necessary, if the proposed line was made, to have a
double line of rails laid down.
Mr. R. A. READ said that though in the course of
time they might find such necessary, it would be some
I years before there was sufficient traffic to warrant the
company to make such alteration.
Mr. W. C. FINCHAM said that he thought it desirable
that a covering or awning should be erected over the
platform of the Blandford station to which
The CHAIRMAN replied that the directors would be
most happy to have such an improvement made, and as
far as possible they would do all they could for the
accommodation and convenience of the public, but on
the present occasion he thought that it would be best
not to enter into the question of detail, but confine
themselves to the subject under consideration.
Mr. hiacumuth said that there was one thing he
swished to bring before them, and that was, that at •
former meeting the directors had pledged themselves to
do 'something at the Spettisbary Station, and in oonse-
.quence of that promise he had sold some of his land.
He thought it was only fair that that promise should be
fulfilled.
The CHAIEWAN said that he was sure the directors
would be only too pleased to do so, but there were im-
portant works going on at Highbridge which required
considerable outlay. As soon, however, as the directors
could see their way clear, baiter accommodation would
be provided. He then moved the second resolution, as
fellows :—" That the directors be and are hereby
authorised and empowered to issue, pelf, or otherwise
dispose of, and deal with so much of the capital
authorised to be issued by the Somerset and Dorset
Railway Act, 1884, at such times, to each persons, oo
such terms, and conditions, and in such manner in all
respeFts as they from time to time think fit."—Carried
unanimously.
A vote of thanke to the Chairman closed the pro-
eeedinge.

further the increase of salmon in Our rivers. A.
meeting of the committee of the Stour Salmon
Fishing Association was held on Thursday, February
2nd, at the Crown Hotel, Blandford, at which Colonel
Manse!, Mr. Austin, and Mr. Hambro were present
Mr. Edwin Portman, the hotelsee.eto the usocia-
tion, was unable to attend. Several subjects in
connection with the salmon fishing in the Stour were
discussed, namely, the obstructions still existing in
the free progress of the fish up and down the rieer,
in the shape of beds of weeds, mill weirs, gravel
shoals, &c. The necessity of obtaining some
immediate assistance in the shape of funds for our
ing out these objects was also discussed, and it wit;
agreed that an appeal should be made to the county
for donations and annual subscriptions, which we
hope will be heartily responded to. We are happy
to state that in consequence of what has already he-eie
done by the erection of ladders, &c., there has, not-
withstanding the low state of the river during the
past INIDAOO, been a great increase in the number of
fish in the river. By the permission of Sir Ivor
Guest, who is a great supporter of the movement
—having already put up two ladders at his own
expense—a hatching apparatus has been put up by
Mr. !Jambe° at Canford, in which he.hopea this
year to hatch some 25.000 salmon. Some 10,000 of
these ova were procured from Colonel Townley's
fishery in Yorkshire, permission having been obtained
from him by Colonel Sturt. Thanks are also due to
Captain Coventry for having put up a ladder at
Corfe Mullen.
MIN'EI INFIRMITIES : NATURAL AND A CQUIRED.--04
Tuesday evening. January 314, a very able and intereat
ing lecture was delivered in the Corn Exchange, Bland.
ford, by the Rev. J. B. Owen, if. k., rector of St
Jude's, Chelsea, chairman of the Royal Polytechnie
Institution. Mr. Owen has been justly styled
The Prince of Lecturers," and certainly, the one lie
delivered on the subject he had chosen,—" thee
Infirmities," &0.,—w55 no exception to those masterly
discourses be has previously delivered. The chair was
taken by G. P. Mosel, Esq., of Langton Lodge—The
room was well filled, members of the Working Emes
Club being admitted free—Mr. Eyers's Splendid band
discoursed some very excellent munie both before and
after the lecture, which elicited loud applause.—The
Chairman having briefly introduced the lecturer, that
gentleman commenced by remarking thetas he was one
day riding in an omnibus th 3 guard called his attention
to • poor lame man, supported on crutches. The guard
said of him, "That he was nearly done, but might last
some time longer as he kept his eye well tip." This
canted him (Mr. Owen) to fall into a train of thought,
which resulted in his calling to mind that the Greek
generic term for man was literally the "upward eye,*
And it was only when age or disease affected the
man, that the eye was cast down to the earth, as
though it were looking forward to the time when the
frail tenement should become part and- percel of it.
The lecturer then remarked that in one sense men IWO
like apes, namely, in their imitation of othera. There was
scarcely a disease, misfortune, or natural defect men were
I exposed to, but the professional mendicant would ape
at, and he believed if the balance of fashion with them
was in favour of leprosy they would all become lepers.
He knew of no place where men could learn a lesson of
human weakness and infirmity than in the court-yard
of an hospital, where were gathered together all
classes and from all climes. The rev, gentleman then
gave an amusing and graphic description of many theft
met with, and their sympathy for each other; even in
their anxiety to be admitted there was a kindly feeling
shown by the sufferers. He once saw a poor man carry
out another in a fainting fit, whose exhaustion was
such that he fainted as soon as he had set down his
load. It was easier to cure real diseases than pretended
ones—they might as well try to extract a tooth from a
ghost. (Laughter.) The lecturer then proceeded to
show how the infirmities of man should be borne—the
iufirmity should not subdue the man, but the man the
infirmity. Of this he gave several examoles--one of •
deaf and dumb man becoming an excellent musician; a
blind gentleman residing in Devon as one of the beat
electricians of the day ; and of a lady crippled to such
an extent as not to be able to use her hands, who exe-
cuted some excellent drawings with her mouth. He then
ehewed that in nature there was a law which made up
one defectby supplying to another organ increased power,
and remarked that if the moral nature of men was the
same, there would be the same restoring power. But
such was not the case. There must be faith to restore
the moral nature • and this was the difference between
the natural religionist, and the Christian, the former
endeavoured to trace the workings of Divine Power, and
the other trusted. Our Lord based His doctrine on this
power of restoring natural life, and healing the diseases
of the body, but on one occasion He put the spiritual
first, and was then accused of blasphemy. He then
showed that it was by the same power the mind and
body were restored, by telling the man to take up his
bed and walk, and as he walked he carried with him •
monumental proof of Christ's power; this appealed to
the senses of the beholden], and they could not resist it.
The lecturer then proceeded to show the similarity
between those who aped to apnear singular, and the
priefessed mendicant. The young whip or swell driving
through the streets might be well compared to the
professed blind beggar, the only difference being that
the beggar was led by the dog with • cord, and in the
other case the puppy was holding the reins. (Loud
laughter.) Acquired infirmities were more numerous
than real ones,—The lecturer then showed the evil of
provincialisms, illustrating his remarks by some very
humourons examples of' the vernacular defects of
various places—Scotch, Irish, Lancashire, Yorkshire,
and London, the latter of which the lecturer said WY
possibly the worst, when the v was put for the w, and
the w for the v, and the letter h mis-osed.
The singular names given to children by their parents,
instead of Christian name., were also notieed. One
father gave his third-born child the name of Finis, but
the sum total proved that he had sadly mei-calculated.
(Loud laughter,) for he had three more children born
to him, who, with • pertinacity worthy of • better
°Meet, named them Addenda, Supplement and
Appendix. (Roars of laughter.) He (the lecturer)
did not mention these things merely to make them
laugh, but to show the evil which resulted from the
use of slang terms. Slang had been termed "infant
blasphemy,' and he especially entreated the young
people present not to indulge in it. Several Amusing
instances of various forms of habits were then given by
the lecturer, who remarked that the oddest of theft
odd things was that there were many people who were
proud of their eccentricities. The character and
example of Florence Nightingale as the alleviator of
human suffering was most beautifully pointed out by
the rev. gentleman. She was an example, like her
Divine Master, worthy of imitation by those who sought
to relieve the miseries of their fellow men. England
gloried in the morel beauty of that lady's life. Nervous
infirmities were then dwelt upon. Simulations of
disease often provoked real disease. On this head the
lecturer pointed out the misery which parties brought
upon themselves and their friends by fancying they
were ill when they were not. The best cure for such
was to walk through the streets of London, where real
suffering was to be met with almost everywhere. In-
firmities of temper was aptly illustrated by "Scarwin
and his pupils"—the man who best out all the finer
feelings of human nature in his children and pupils by
his sternness and ill-usage • but who was brought to see
his folly by the eilentappeel of his poor child, whom he
had reduced to imbecility by his cruelty, taking down
the old family Bible, and placing it before him at*
certain hour at which the family formerly joined in
devotion. Bad temper, said the rev, gentleman, canoes
more sin and misery than anything else. Some very
useful hints were then given to impotent people and
their friends. No man's infirmity was • barrier
to his doing some good. This was Mart-rated by
an anecdote of a blind man leading • lame one
borne—a distance of four miles—in the "black
country," where, said the speaker, the fogs are
like London ones gone into mourning. (Loud
laughter.) The blind man who guided his friend very
I justly remarked that it made no difference to him how
dark the night was ; thus showing that however severe
the affliction, there were none who could not in some
way or other assist their fellow-oreatures. The effect of
• mother's love on • wayward and afflicted boy given to
ungovernable fits of passion was then very beautifully
pourtrayed by the lecturer, and elicited much cheering.
—On the proposition of the Chairman • warm
expression of thanks was voted by acclama-
tion to the lecturer, in acknowledging which
that gentleman expressed his great delight
listening to the band. He had visited alma*
every town in England, and he certainly never heard
so good • provincial band before. (Cheers.) Until he
was informed by the rector, he was not aware that
Blandford had the honour of possessing the "Champion
Band of England." He trusted the young men of the
town would do their utmost to keep it up, so that
131andford might be as long celebrated for its hands as it
was by the beauty of the surrounding soenery. (Cheers.)
He heartily thanked them for their good wishes, and
concluded by proposing a vote of thanks to Colonel
Manse! for his kindness in taking the chair.- The Rev.
3. B. Quirk said thath • t e lecturer had rather anticipated
the arrangement in his anxiety to do honour to the
Chairman, as another gentleman present had agreed to
do so, but of this, he (Mr. Quirk) was sure that all
would heartily join in their expressions of approval of
his kindness. (Cheers.)—The National Anthem was
then played by the bend, and the company separated.—
The lecture throughout was cleoseterieed by considerable
depth and originality of thought, and being interspersed
with many laughable similes, sepeered to give my eon.,
siderable satisfaction to the audience.

CHILD OKEFORD. The Baptist Meeting
House in this village was a scene of animation and a
centre of attraction on Thursday, February 2, the
members of the Temperance Society enjoying
themselves over a social cup of tea, and after-
wards holding a public meeting for the dissemination
of their prisciples.. The tea appeared to give
universal satisfaction, and the public meeting, ably
presided over by a veteran abstainer,Mr. W. Norton
of Shaftesbury, was very fully attended by a respect:
able and attentive audience. The meeting was opened,
by singing and prayer, by Mr. Henry Hodges, of
131andford ; and addressed by Mr. Gatehouse in his
usual happy style. Mr. Rose, of Okeford Fitz-
paine, and Mr. Vaughan, county missionary
in the cause, each dwelt on the ignerance
caused by drunkenness, and the likelihood of
temperance becoming not only a handmaid to
knowledge but also a stepping-stone to religion.
Mr. Benjatield, of Munston, and also the Chair-
man, in their addresses set forth the superior
-position attained, and the better treatment received,
by the abstainer even in unlooked-for quarters, by
some well-told incidents. Mr. H. Hodges, as presi-
dent of the County Association, entered somewhat
into detail as to the rise and progress of that body,
and the efforts made by them in the temperance
cause, showing that in leas than two years the
association bad increased their labours from 16 to
40 stations, and concluded his address by an earnest
and forcible appeal to those preeeot to well weigh
the subject. and not to he found in the seat of the
scoffer. The speeches were interspersed by
melodies given by Messrs. Gatehouse and Vaughan,
and brought to • ClOllO by an appeal from the
Chairman to remember the pledge book, which,
to the gratification of the friends, was in great
requisition by parties Who we sincerely hope may
prove firm adherents. 'Phis little 'society is a proof
.of what may be done. Two earnest and devoted
young ladies being the mainspring and life of the
society.

ewer to the lad and signed in his presence both then
and when complainant was able to be present at a
subsequent date. The boy left on the 17th December,
.and had gone to work for another party, refusing to
return to his work.—The lad said that though the
agreement was read over to him he did not sign it,
or know what it was.—The Bench said that he must
have understood it, and the mere fact that he had
gone on with his work proved that he had entered.
into the terms of the agreement —The boy's mother,'
who was in attendance, said she could not keep the
boy for 4s. 6d. per week. His master found 'him
lodging. The Chairman : Why there are many men
with families to keep who only get Bs. or 9s. per
week. The mother still persisted that she could.
not keep the boy for the money he received. Tha
Bench asked the complainant if he would forgive the:
led supposing he returned to his work, and having
received an answer in the affirmative, they in the
most earnest and kind manner entreated the boyei
thother to let him go back to his master to fulfil his
term rather than he should be sent to prison, but
she positively refused, and the lad was consequently
committed for 14 days.

give him a very severe blow on the eye. There were
others with him, and one of them said to the defend-
ant, "He is not the dairyman." Complainant was
very much hurt, his eye being completely blinded.
Defendant, who pleaded guilty, said he was sorry for
!what he had done.—TheChairman said it was a most

mented work OD a Tuesday, and worked till the:
Friday night of the fourth week, but did net return'
to work on the Soorday.—The Bench ordered the
wages due to be abated—Mr. Austin, who retired
daring the hearing of the last two cases, said theil
the defendant had received more than his wages;
