WAREII&M.

ELOPTIMINT.—The inhabitants of our usually quiet
tows have been somewhat excited during the past
week, by the disoovery that the daughter of a gentle-
man of influence in the town had eloped with an
ex-pupil teacher. It is rumoured that the happy couple
were united in the bonds of matrimony the day after
their flight.
For some years past this town has enjoyed the
luxury (if such a necessary comfort can be called a
luxury) of having the streets and some of the lanes
lit with gas. In return for this loan the gas
company have found it necessary to require that a
rate shall be made and levied for this particular
purpose, charging only so much for street lamps as
shall cover the actual cost to them of the gas con-
sumed. The Public Health or Local Government
Acts not having been adopted in this small town,
the useful provisions of 3 and 4 William IV., c 90,
known as "The Watching and Lighting Act" have
been made use of, but it seems that fresh meetings of
ratepayers have not, as should have been done, been
called every year, but tha proper parochial
authorities have continued to make the gas rate
without it. The present churchwardens of the three
pszishea comprising the town of Wareham have
jest given public notice of their intention to call the
necessary meetings to sanction the rate. Some
think it would be better to leave the town in dark-
ness, till the important and more extenaive
machinery of the Local Government Act is favour-
ably reoeived—Amt in the meantime light is wanted
at once, and therefore we trust that the rutePoYero
' will have the common nem to foettre the

continuance of this blessing for themselves, and be
thankful for all they actually do enjoy as it now is.

SWANAGE.
A CCIDIENT. —On lliriday evening a serious accident.
befel a man named Williams, a carter in the employ
of Mr. Horlock, of Studland. The unfortunate man
had been to this place with a load of corn, but
having indulged somewhat too freely in drink, and
in endeavouring to get into the wagon fell on the
curb stones, and received such frightful injuries to
his head and back, from the effects of which he is
not expected to recover.

BLANDFORD.

BOROUGH POLICZ, February 23rd.—Before the
Mayor and H. Darden, Esq.—George Vince, an old
offender, was charged with assaulting Emma Allen,
on the previous evening, and also with violently re-
sisting P.C. Moore in the execution of his duty.—
Emma Allen said that about half-past four o'clock
abe was going to the well for water, when the pr-i.
Boner began to abuse her, called her names, and beat
her with a basket he had in his hand about the bead.
On her returning from the well he again interfered
with her, and in attempting to kick her his foot
caught in the pail, the bottom of which he knocked
cut—The prisoner said he was sorry for what he
had done.—The Mayor said that the second charge
was worse than the first. When the constable was
sent for, instead of confessing he was wrong he
violently assaulted him—The prisoner pleaded
guilty to this offence also, and was ordered to pay a
fine of £5, or in default one month's imprisonment,—
Committed.—We understand that so violent was
the prisoner's conduct that it required six men to
take him to the lock-up.
RELIGIOUS Taacr Soclirrv.—On Thursday after-
noon and evening, meetings on behalf of this society
were held in the TownbalL The chair was taken
by the Rev. J. R. Quirk, who was supported by

deputation—respecting the operations of the society,
as well as by the Chairman and other speakers.
COUNTY POLICE, February 20.—Before J. J.
Farquharson, Bond was brought up in

A serious fray oemirred at Cagliari last week between

and several men on;both sides seriously wounded.

whose name is well known in England as one of the
beet brigadiers in the Hungarian Army of Indepen-

in the defence of Kars, which latter service it is to be

GURNZRY. —The competition between the Whitworth
and Armstrong guns, which has been going on for the
last six months at Shoeboryness, was brought to a close
on April 26th. Two targets were set up, alike in every
reaped, one of whioh was fired at by the Armstrong,
the other by the Whitworth gun. In two rounds the
Whitworth gun penetrated the target to the depth only
of three incshes, bulging the plate a little on the Inside;
while the Armstrong shots went right through, and
aansed extensive injury to the interior. A third round
wai fired, changing the position of the guns, so that each
fired at the other's target, but the result was equally In
favour of the Armstrong gun.

gigantic in its dimensions and important in its con-
sequences that the page of history records; the death,

PROCLAMATION OF JEFFERSON DAVIS.

The following is the text of the proclamation of
Jefferson Davis, dated Danville, April 5 :—" The
General-in-Chief had found it necessary to make such
movements of his troops as to uncover the capital. It
would be unwise to conceal the moral and malarial
injury to our cause resulting from the occupation of our
efforts to become relaxed under reverses, however
calamitous they may be. For many months the largest
and finest army of the Confederacy, under the ammand
of a leader whose presenoe inspires equal confidence in
the troops and the people has been greatly trammelled
by the necessity of keeping °mutant watch over
the approach to their capital, and has been forced
to forego more than one opportunity for pro-
mising enterprises. It is for us, my countrymen, to
show, by our bearing under reverses, how wretched has
been the self-deoeption of those who have believed sue
less able to endure mihfortune with fortitude than to
encounter danger with courage. We have now entered
on a new phase of the struggle. Relieved from the
necessity of guarding particular points, our army will
be free to move from point to point, to strike the enemy
in detail, far from his base. It us but will it,
and we are free. Animated by that confidence
in spirit and fortitude which never yet faded me.
I announce to you, fellow country-men, that it
is my purpose to maintain your cause with ray
whole heart and soul ; and I will never sonsent to
abandon to the enemy one foot of the soil of anyone of
the States of the Confederacy; that Virginia, noble
State! whose ancient renown has been eclipsed by her
still more glorious history, whose bosom has been bared
to receive the main shock of this war; whose sons and
daughters have exhibited heroism so sublime as to
render her illustrious in all time to some; that Virginia,
with the help of the people and the blessings of Provi-
dence, shall be held and defended, and no pease ever
made with the infamous invaders of our homes by this
sacrifice of any of her rights of territory. If by the
stress of numbers we should ever be compelled to a
temporary withdrawal from her limits or those of any
other border state, again and again we will return until
the baffled and exhausted enemy shall abandon in
despair his endless and impossible task of making slaves
of a people resolved to be tree. Let as, _that, ant
despond, my countrymen, but, relying on God, let wi
meet the foe with fresh defiance and with ansonqnsrad
and unconquerable hearts."

PREPARED by Mr. FORD, the Patentee.
This celebrated medicine still maintains its high
position in public estimation. For the cure of Coughs,
Colds, Influenza, and Pulmonary oomplainta, it remains
without a competitor. The well-known properties of
the herb, with the elegance and extraordinary BaLambs
qualities of the preparation of it, has neared for tits
Pectoral Balsam of Horehound, the highest and most ex-
tensive patronage. Influenza and common Colds will be
found to yield to its benign influence in a few hours;
and in Asthmatic complaints, of however long etanding,
alleviation and relief will certainly follow the use of it.
Mr. Ford respectfully requests purohasers to observe
that his signature will be on the outside wrapper tow*

THE APIARY.

Bzzl% Era Ellyn, AND Bag CULTURE. —By G.
NEIGHBOUR and SONS, Regent-street, London :
Kr.syr and Co., Paternoster•row.
At fint sight the sulject of the cultivation of bees
appears of minor importance, yet concealed as it
were in a very humble walk we find immense
benefits to our social oomforta. Honey is not only
• luxury to many but of immense use in the arts ;
and in medicine it has a high value from its being
an agent homogeneous to most of the preparations of
the pharmacopeia. Of its value as • raw product we
need scarcely speak, its actual cost to the proprietor
is really next to nothing, the insect itself is the
producer without any very large outlay. Nothing
appears required except good sound artificial habita-
tions for them, and a moderate attention to their
wants on the part of the proprietor. Above all it
appears that the saving of life and the entire abolition
of the destroying system is the ground work and
grammar of the work we have quoted. A '
great many works have already been published upon
Bee management, enough one would suppose to
answer the desired aim, that is, to reduce the subject
scientifically, and to combat stupid prejudices and
bigoted obstinacy. It takes, however, we all know,
long and peravering efforts to change accepted
routine. It lain works such as we indicate that the
true guides to success may be found. The Apiary,
by Mr. George Neighbour is truly a complete and
beautiful work; all the modern improvements are
thoroughly explained, and every luxury in hives
may be studied in perfection. To all who keep
bees, especially to the country gentleman whose
shelves are furnished with agricultural works,
the book is • positive necessity. It is a truth,
notwithstanding the labours of authors on the
subject of bees, that very little progress has
really been made in the prevention of destroy-
ing the bees for the sake of their honey.
The ordinary cottage people of England are
still obstinately bent on this wanton mischief,
not only injuring themselves most of all, but
actually the public. The remedy is slow in
progress, but perhaps ultimately sure. A cheap
depriving hive is the real cure and a few
plain directions. Some of our wealthier landowners
would do themselves benefit in many ways, if
they gratuitously distributed • few hives made on
some of the simple plans explained by Mr. Neighbour.
It would not only store the cottage cupboard with
abundanoe of honey, but leave • handsome subsonp-
tion towards rent or clothing. Want of space coin.
pets us to say leas than we wished to say on the
subject. We have read the work with great interest
and especially the chapter relating to the late impor.
tation of a new and interesting stranger to this
county—the Ligurian Bee—a better worker than the
English Bee and not so fond of using her sting. We
trust her yellow appearance will not provoke the
fate of the wasps, but Mr. Neighbour has, it appears,
been successful in rearing them, and is able to
furnish stocks to those who require them.

on Monday move an address to the Crown, praying Her
Majesty to express to the Government and people of
the United States the sorrow and indignation of their
lordships at the assassinatiou of President Lincoln. The
Earl of Derby hoped that the motion would be so
framed IA to admit of no formal objections, and Earl
Russell gave an assurance to that effect. After some
reference to the treatment of Consul Cameron and his
companions by the Emperor of Abyssinia the House
adjourned.
FRIDAY.—The Lord Chancellor moved the second
reading of the Courts of Justice Building Bill, which
was strongly opposed by Lord St. Leonard; but after
some di.Acussion the Bill was read a second time. The

EXCISE PROSECUTIONS. —John Mozham and G.
Bennett were summoned at the instance of Mr.
Young, supervisor of excise, for shooting game with-
out having a game certificate. Bennett pleaded
guilty, but Mozham did not appear. William
Green, a game watcher, proved that on the 24th of
December he was at work in the parish of Handley.
Hearing the report of a gun he proceeded to where
the sound came from, and saw Mozham run and
pick up a partridge. He spoke to him, when he
denied that he had the bird, and offered witness to
search him, but at the same time held up a stick in
a threatening attitude towards him. The case
against Bennett was for shooting a hare.—The Bench
said this was the first of these cases which had come
before their notice, and they should therefore be
lenient in their decision this time; but such would
not be the case for the future. The fine was £2O,
--` " nitigate it to £5.

the new deed of settlement was unanimously confirmed.
With • view to make the capital of the bank more in
proportion to the increased business of the company
the directors have now allotted further shares to the
propietors, at a premium of £7 per share, thus adding
£5),000 to capital, and the premiums to reserved surplus
fund, which they anticipate this year will reach
£lOO,OOO, s sum which they believe will be a sufficient
guarantee to the shareholders, and will enable the
directors in future to make a closer division of the

THE MALT-TAX.

To the Edilor.
SIR,—A letter, signed " Fairplay," appeared in
the Salisbury and Wine/putter Journal of last week,
which contains some important statistics in con-
nection with the agitation on the malt-tax. That
your readers may have the opportunity of becoming
acquainted with them; I shall feel obliged by your
inserting in your next publication the following
extract.—Yours faithfully, OBSERVER.
"It appears by statistics reoently published that the
number of farmers and maltaters in the kingdom
is about 310,000; the amount paid to the
revenue by malt (£6,000,000) being about £l9
per head. The number of grocers is 90,000; the
amount paid to the government by this trade
alone in 1863 was £12,286,881, or £136 each
this amount has to be paid before the grocer can
turn one shilling's worth of the stock it represents
into cash."

BIANUIIE FROM RABBITS:

To 0:e Editor.
SIR—In reply to Mr. Wood's question as to the
=MUM from the rabbit—the very fact of the using
of those animals on one spot, and its for a tires
destroying vegetation, proves ita strength. The
droppings from sheep on one spot would do the same,
and so would any strong manure. Besides this,
there have beeu testa applied to tho rabbit, and the
fact is as stated in my former letter.

BOURNEMOUTH.

It is with pleasure we that Joseph
Mildren, chief boatman, Samuel Prout, William
Furze, James Hollis and William Harvey, belonging
to the Bournemouth coastguard station, have been
awarded £6O for heroically launching their boat on
Sunday, the 19th February, with the view of saving
the crew of a smack, which they observed some
miles at sea in distress, with colors in the rigging
and the ensign dounwards. On boarding the vessel
they found it had been abandoned, but they
succeeded in saving the vessel which proved to be
the Richard of Cardiff, George master, laden with
coals. The crew, it appears, left her near the " old
Harry rocks," and succeeded in effecting a landing
in their boat under the cliff, from which they were
rescued by means of new life-lines by the coastguard
of the Studland station.
