%Vostok-or. —An inqueat was held at the
Crown Hotel on Monday week lx fore G. Symonds,
Eau. conmer, oil the body of Henry E'd ye, a hawker
of earthenware, well known tin Weymouth as
"Staffordshire l'olu." It appeared from the evidence
that deceased spent Sunday in the company of
Charles Reed, a sailor, with whom he lefltlie Cooper's
Aims about eleven at night, after having bail a pint
.d leer together. Deceased, in reply ho Reed, said
Le had no place or lodging, and accepted Heed's
offer to 6o on board his vessel the " Lovely Frolic "
for the night. The vessel lay alongside the quay,
opposite Sir. Penney's, a plank being placed from
the quay to afford eaves& on board. Whilst walking
across, deceased slipped, sod catu&ht Reed by the
coat, nearly dragging him oveiboard,hut lie saved
himself by clutching the rizaing. Heed gave the
alarm of a man overboard, which was heard by P. C.
Wood, who arrived on the spot in a abort time.
He turned on his light, and having ascertaiued the
position of deceased, he took olif his coat and hat and
Jumped overboard. The water was about four feet
deep. Finding dem:ow(' lying on his face, be very
properly lifted up his head from the water, anti with
the assistance of P. S. Brine, the body was bniught
ashore arid taken to the station, where every means
to restore animation was taken without avail by Dr.
liassn. who met the policeman on the bridge whilst
they sere conveying the body to the station. Mr.
Samson amid only attribute the death of the deceased
to the sudden shock experienced from the fall into
the water, as there was no sign of bruise or contusion
011 the body. If deceased was in drink apoplexy
would very likely ensue from the shock. The
coroner having remarked on the evidence, and
commended the policeman for his thougtfulness in
railing deceased's head from the water, the jury
without hesitation returned a verdict of " Accidental
Death."

WANTOX MISCHITY.—Seversi scaffold ropes used
in the erection of the Middle Schools were cut on
6,tnrday or Sunday week by some miscreant, who**
object, undoubtedly, was to endanger the lives of the
men employed on the building; and such, no doubt,
would have been the case, had not the circumstance,
fortunately, been discovered on Monday morning
before any of the men got on the scaffolding. Mr.
tilliMan, the builder of the schools, we perceive, has
offered • reward for such information as shall lead to
the apprehension awl conviction of the offender.
WILYMOOTII ltirtc VOLD NTIZR.4.—The first sec•
ton of the Weymouth ltifie Vulnuteers commenced
target practice on Monday afternoon at the Govern-
ment range under the Old Castle.
A PKITTY GOOD SiloT.—lt must beset:AMC Of
no small gratification to those of our townsmen who
feel an interest in the Volunteer movement to know
that many of the natives of the loyal town of Wey-
mouth who have removed to other parts of the
country hold no mean position in the several ri;:e
corps to which they belong. Among the list of
patriot' is Mr. Frederick Harris, son of Mr. Harris,
the celebrated hatter in Bond-street, who is • mem-
ber of the sth company of the Northamptonshire
Rifles. At a recent ride match in Althorp park he
sae one of the best of 119 shuts. He then bad to
enter the contest against 36 of the best shuts in the
county, when Samuel Pasley, of the 2tid company,
was first ; Captain Barr, of the 4th Company,
fecund ; and Mr. Harris, the son of our respected
townsman, third. It is, however, fair to state that
Mr. Harris obtained, within two points, the same
number as the winner of the first prize.
LITIRARY INSTITUTION.—An turned meeting
of the members of the Literary an Scientific lusts
tutioo was held on Tuesday evening last, for the elec-
tion of the uffitxra and committee for the ensuing
