on Monday morning last. Chief officer Bexhill, of
Hdlg. coastguard, was going up throuth Fortunes
Well. When near the Sun Inn, he met two men, and
peteeived that one of them had • big at his back. He
let them go past him, and then turned and followed
them down Ugh-street ; but on seeing this they ran
away. The officer was too close on them, and one had
to drop the beg to escape; Mr. Boxhall still followed
tlieui down High-street for some distance, bet could
not catch them. He then examined the bag, and found
it contained 40M. of manufactured tobacco, made up in
one-pound parcels. Of coulee he took possession of it,
and sent it to the Weymouth Custom-house.

had been before appointed postmaster, in acknowledge-
ment of his services in culling the attention of thc
Government to the value of Portland Roads as • Elu-
-1 hour of Beluga, and assisting to induce them to under-
' take the famous Portland Breakwater. Mr. Harvey
was very highly respected, and his son succeeded to
that respect, and won some on his own account. The
whole island was therefore utterly astounded to hear
that Mr. George Harvey had abseonded, that a Post-offieial
from London had taken possession of his books aud the
local Post-officio, and that bsiliffs had mixed his goods
on behalf of the Orown. It appears that he left Portland
on Wednesday by the ILI% train, an hour or so before
the arrival of the Government offitd&l that he proceeded
to Weymouth, and there took a ticket for London,
where he never mrivel. Several tradesmen have lost
considerable sums on account of his Hight, and one of
his sureties is sald to be seriously involved. Besides
the "Portland Pharmacy," a chemist's and druggist's
business carried on at the Post-office, he had for sew]
time past kept hair-cutting rooms, Stu, higher up
Fortune's Well, and the Portland Literary Institute
had a room behind; but • few months ago this was
given up. The post-muter is married and has • little
family. The postmaster owed £2BO for overplus stock,
which he ought to have remitted to London, to the
Postmuter-G.neral's account. He was called on to
pay in the money within • week, but ()mild not do so,
and fled. His books and accounts were found all right;
but there was not the least money in the hones to pay
the Government debt. Be left his wife and family at
Portland; but they are about to go to Mrs. Harvey's
brothers, at Portsmouth.

THE END OF A DitEAIL

A curious story of a dream comes to us from that not
very romantic* place where the noisily whistle cohora all
eight bog- the tows of Crewe. A your. g runt. earned
John riporks, employed at the IVenlook Ironworks, had,
Ii scents, e. remarkable dream, which was repeated thrre
tights in sucoesaion, testifying that he tbould come to
a violent and. We are not told what form the warning
took—on which point alone any wale 'peculation' amid
be grounded --tut WO informed that whatevir was the
natant of the dream, blink. understood it as a warning,
and wrote sir entry in his diro7—'• What is to come has
to come. Cod's will bu done." 'The day following that
on which this singular now was written tho poor
fellow's dead body was fouhd dreadfully mutilated near
Crewe Statiuo, at a point where he wis accustomed to
cross on hir way to busio.m. Th only coni,ctural
hypothesis is that the young MAD MY ill niol LICIVUtid ;
that his first dream, whatever its nature, was sudittorted
to his br.iu by his state of disordered health ; that it
Impressed him so vividly as to cm.° its own repetition,
and then his belief of its veracity as a warning ; and,
Sadly, that being nervous and bewildered, he failed to
cress tho lion with his ordinary care, or, being alarmed
at an approaching train, lust his head, and au was run
over. On any theory the story is worth noting.

Tat. MUNICIPAL EigcnON.—The excitement with
reference to the coming struggle 111111 intenefied by Its extension
into the Wei Mouth Ward, where it was supposed there would
have been no contest this year. The last uncontested Liberal
seat, however, on Saturday, ceased to be uncontested, and
Mr. Vertu* was threatened by the nomination of Mr. John
Baunton. His nominators were Mr. 14. Devenbth and Mr. E
Martin, a combinatioo which showed that the C.mservatives
were determined to carry him if they could, and take
sion of every seat. Suntans, would in addition elr titner
po—es.working majority, give them the overwhelming umber of 10
clear votos. The Liberals answered this challenge by
nominating Mr. Charles Beale. But on Monday Mr. Baunton
and Mr. Beale retinal. The nominations were as follows :
Mr William Dyer, (L.) East-street, Holcombe Regis, coal
merchant, by Mr Alfred Dennis, Petticoat lane, and by Mr
John Thud, Victoria Terrace, ktelcombe Regis; Ilr Reginald

we believe the, are correct. The names of the nominatoro
on the Liberal side may perhaps serve to show that the
Powellites have net aside the thought of what they considered
theirgrienueek and are determined to work with the moderate
Liberals, so that the Liberal party Is ooze more united. If this
Is the awe, the struggle will no doubt be very determined.
