AcCIDEST.—On Sunday morning, about bolf.poss
seven, Alfred Wolven, • lad of Fordington, went in
company with another to pick waterorese in Fordington
meadows. On coming to the bridge croming the stream
known 13 Ten Hatches, Wolron remained there while
the other boy went on. Whilat on the bridge Wohron
placed his left hand upon the perpentlicvler bar of iron
forming the upper part of the batches, which is pro-
vided with iron ooge to regulate its elevation. Owing
to it. cot befog fastened the hatch immediately fell too
rapidly to allow the boy to withdraw his hand which
was consequently caught between the iron work, and
his fourth linger was cut off. lie ran quickly horse,
where it was considered advisable to take him to the
Dorset County Hospital.
FOOT AND MOCTII DITZAIR.—We are sorry to an-
nounce that this trouble omedisease has appeared is the
dairy of Mr. James Cake, of Bhompston, in the parish
!of Stinsford. Superintendent Hare, of Dorchester,
receiving information from the dairyman, visited the
farm on the 23rd March, and found fifty cows and one
bull in different stages of the disease. A meeting
of the enb.oommittee under the Gontastieas Mumps
(animal.) Act wise held at the fthirehall, on Saordny
' morning last, when there were Present—H. Williams,
E.g. (chairman), E. Pewee, Esq., and E. W. Williams,
&to. On Ow part of the local authority Mr. Edwards,
acting for the clerk under the Act, produced • deol.ra-
thin of the diseaese, eh:toed by Mr. Inspector Hare of the
Dorchester division, under the 55th section of the said
Ant to the effect that be had found foot and mouth
disease to exist at Great Mead end Milk Bar.
ton, in the parish of Stinsford, In the comps.
Mon of Mr. James Cake, Mr. Edwards also pro-
duced • return signed by Superintendent Hare.
dated 23rd March, in Dominos of the 11th section of
the general Order of Council of the 10th August, 1869,
showing that there were 50 cows and one boll on the
mid premises, and that all were diseased. The tom-
niittee havine examined the Inspector as to the correct.
nem of the declaration and return, and been satiefied
thereon, declared the foot and mouth disease to exist
on Mr. Cake's premiere, under section 55 of the Con-
tagiona Diseases (Animals) AM. The Superintendent
4.id Mr. Cake could not amount for the outbreak of
the disease ; the bull was brought to the farm shout
three weeks ago from Turoworth, near Blandford, but
there had been no report of the disease being In that
district. Some conversation Moir place as to the treat-
ment of animals affected with foot and mouth disease.
and Mr. Willieme said that Professor Brown, one of
the highest of the Government staff, told him that the
bet way to treat animals so affected was, not to doctor
them at all, but to keep them warm and give them
plenty of loch food as they could take: by so doing not
one In • hundred would be loat : while if they sent for a
dletor they would be likely to lose sO per cent. A
week after they had reeovered they would give milk
again as well AS ever. So, in the matter of the foot and
, month disease, we have an instance of • do-nothing
policy being the right one.
