Sunday school established by Etaikee the founder of
these valuable institutions. It is pleasing to know
that under the supervision of the Rev. A. 'Wilkinson,
the clergyman of the parish, it is increasing in
prosperity and usefulness. Actiording to the last
return, the number ofljoys on the school register
was 263, and of girls 267, being an increase on the
previous year of 39. On Thursday last, the children
bilonging to this institution had their annual pie-Die
in a held at Ste,le, kindly lent for the occasion by
Mr. Jolliffe, eon of the late incumbent of Poole.
Tea, plum-cake, &c., in abundance, was served
out to them, to which, we need scarcely remark,
they did ample justice. After tea, a variety of
athletic spurts were engaged in, and the children
retiirtied to their several homes at night heartily
pleased with their afternoon's enjoyment.

Sr. PAUL'S SUNDAY SCHOOL. - The children
belonging to St. Paul's District Church Sunday
School, were on Wednesday last, entertained wish
tea and cake, in a field lent by Mr. G. Belbin, at
High Ham. The children were conveyed to and
from the scene of rustication in some eight or ten
waggons, the novelty of which they heartily
enjoyed. After indulging in a variety of games,
they were entertained with a display of fireworks,
and reached home about ten o'clock..
Qua/mm.sole ilitlfintomte.—On Thursday last,
Elite Harlock, was charged before J. W. Martin and
H. Harris, &qrs., with assaulting Mary Ann, the
wife of James Downing, shoemaker. The evidence
was very conflicting; but it is quite evident that
Mrs. Downing is living on far from peaceable terms
vith many of her neighbours. In the present
instance, as indeed on many former occasions, a
quarrel took place respecting her children. According
t her evidenoe she had deka nothing to the defendant
when the latter struck her, whereas for the defence
it was asserted that she threw a quantity of water
over the defendant. The magistrates thought that
if Mrs. Downing could not live peaceably with her
neighbours, the best thing she could do was to re•
move to another district. It was impossible to
determine from the evidence who was most in fault,
and therefore they dismissed the case, ordering each
party to pay her own costs.

POOR RATES —A number of aged people and
widows were summoned before the magistrates on
Thursday for non-payment of poor-rates, and all who
attended were excußed. Among others summoned
was an old lady of 94, whom the assistant-overseer
said he had summoned forty times, and in every
instance she had been excused on account of her
great age. She was not present, but he would ask
the bench to excuse her in the present instanoe.

BLANDFORD.

Critorwr.—On Tii-nreff;;; ;—in.atch between two
elevens, one selected by C. J. Badclyffe, Esq., and
the (Aber by H. Tofkington, Esq., was played on
the Blandford ground. Mr. Radclyffe's party first
handled the " willow" to the bowling of Messrs.
Hookey and J. Browne, and ran up a score of 130,
to which Captain Suttie contributei 48, consisting
of 1 four, 6 threes, and 6 twos. Mr. Monypenny
whose play was much admired made 23, and Mr.
C. J. Radclyffe 11. After luncheon served up
by Mr. H. Monokton, Mr. Totlington's party went
in and scored 80, to which Mr. Trail! contributed
IT. In the second itaninge the tables were turned,
Mr. Radolyffe's eleven only scoring 41. This left
Mr. Torkinwon's party 92 to beat, and there
appeared but little doubt they would have succeeded
had not time being called ; it having been agreed to
draw the wickits at half-past six. In their second
innings Mr. T's party made 20 runs with a loss of
one wicket. The following is the score :
