wren TANK.

A plan and speoification by Mr. Holland, for a tank
and hors. trough at Maidenwell, was produeed. It was
to bold MO gallons—a day's supply, and Mr. Holland
stated that it would be filled daring the night by the
overflow at Fortune's Well.

Mr. Hinds proposed, and Mr. R. B. Scaivan seconded,
that the same be accepted, and tenders be invited for
carrying out the work.
Mr. M. Pearce proposed, and Mr. A. &riven seconded,
an amendment, that the consideration of the matter be
adjourned till the next meeting.
On a division, the resolution was carried by 9 to 6 ;
the tenders will, therefore, be invited.

TA/TWIN? OP AMOUNTS.

Mr. A. Seriven brought before the Hoard the im-
portance of keeping the exp.nditare of the several d's.
tricts separate. . . . . .

The Chairman muested that books should be pro-
skied for the purpose.
Mr. Gibbs propneed that two amounts should be kept
—one of the expenditure on the top of the hill, and the
other that under the hill.

The Clerk said the foreman of works bad got detailed
particulars of all the work done niece the commence-
ment, and it was arranged that he should produce a
statement of tho same at the next meeting, and for
the future lay • bill of particulars before each
meeting.

BTE-LAWS.

The Beard then went into the considerstson of adopt-
ing bye-laws, when it was suggested that the subject
should be referred toe committee to.rey-irt thereon.

Mr. A. So:riven objected to such a "hole and corner"
mode of settling the matter.

The Chairman proposed the adoption of the bye-laws
produoed from page 3 to 23 inclusive, with alight ad-
ditions to some of the clauses.
There yam no other business of importance.

BARLICT RICKS NET ON Fins He CHILDRISIC—About
mid.day on Friday, two barley ricks on the farm of Mr.
George Mayo, of this parish, which had only been
completed and thatched on the previous Monday, were
discovered to be on fire. It was impossible to nave any
of the produce, and it was soon entirely destroyed.
Ihe ricks were situated near the farm buildings, and
adjacent to the shepherdS house. At the first
suspicion was cast on a party of travelling nape
grinders and tinkers They called at the cottages on
the previous day, and asked for something to eat,
which was refused them, and they were annoyed, and
the shepherd'. two children said they had seen them
about on Friday morning. On Saturday Supt.
Underwood went over to institute inquiries, and he
ascertained that the children had set the ricks on fire
with Inciter matches, and, frightened at the conse-
quences, concocted the artful tale about geeing the
travellers to avert suspicion from themselves, Mr.
Mayo has had five fires on his farm in a. many years.
This time the loss was from 150 to :Xl9 sacks of very
fine barley.

was made for the repairing of the new read moms thue
ago, but with that exception I can hoar of no other
outlay from the grant money, beyond the £4O annually
I have named, since at any rate 1860, and, indeed, along

ought to have an account, and the benefit likewise.
' The balance duo to the inhabitants sines 1860 is
£3,896 31—• handsome sum which would enable
me to provide the much.needed water-works, and such
drainage as is most required, on • prover plan, so that
gradually the whole place might ho provided with

without increadng the rates one half-penny. The dis-

appeal to the trustees, for th, tr own sakes, as well
as for the sake of the inhabitants, to knu,
statement showing what has become of all the

to mince the matter—the trustees have provoked
suspicion by their reticence—whether they deserve
it or not, I sin unable to say, bet honest men
have naught to fear front their actions being
known, and • plain statement of how they have ex.

mind; while, • continuant* of the course hitherto
pursued, not only prolonp irritated feelings amongst
thi people, but it may lead them to go to the Court of
Chancery for an injunction to compel the trusteed to
make a disclosure of their tots. This would be • painful
step to take against gentlemen holding such high office,
and so generally esteemed for their good deeds (save In
this one particular), and I appeal to them to be wise in

the eventful and memorable seseion of 1867.

Coudgitv EXPLOSIONS —Two fearful colliery explo-
sions took plane on Tuesday, one near Ashon, in
Lancashire, and the other at Longton, in Cumberland.
In the former fourteen live. were lost, end the Atwater
is said to have been occasioned by the firing of a shot.
In the latter the loss of life was not so great, but the
explosion appears to have been one of extraordinary
violence, the report being heard at • distance of three-
quarters of a mile. Two colliers were killed, leaving
each of them a widow and children to lamett their loss,
BALLOONING Te FINED TO Aceoorte.—One of the
prisoners from the Winchester County Gaol, whose

labour, under charge of • warder, outside the prison.
It happened that Mr. Coxwell's balloon, which had
ascended from Southampton, plumed close over the
ancient city, and attracted, of costae, much attention.
Among others, the warder watched the unusual
visitant with close interest. When the balloon had

The Chinese have long °Wined large thawed profit
by witting with mineral colour the tea intended for the
homes of England. Thia extraordinary custom enables a
high price to be obtained for the old brown worthlru
leaves, as they purposely colour both the worthless
Autumn and the choice Spring growths alike, and all
are thereby enabled to be sold at the same high rates.
The mineral colour not only impend to the leaf a
deceptive value and increases the pnce to the English
consumer, but it interferes with the wholesomeness of
this favourite beverage. Horniman's pure green is a
manna dark olive, not bluish; their pore black is not
intensely dark: these teas are fax cheaper and better in
quality than the sobered sorts, being the choies and
strong spring leaves that have no need to be disguised
with a coat of colour. Observe all genuine packets of

THE FRUIT CROPS OF 1667.

The Gardeners' Chronicle gives a record of the
past condition and present prospects of the fruit
crops of 1667 in this kingdom, and thus summaries
the whole :—"Apples us all but universally deficient,
the deficiency being doe in most cases to the injury
done to the blossoms or to the young fruits by spring
frosts; in some amass where the trees have not borne
for many years, however, a crop has been pmdoceii,
and in many market gardens round the metropolis
a fair crop of apples may be seen. Peers are also,
generally speaking, below average everywhere.
Plums, with the exception of demeans, which are
reported as unusually abundant, are short in
quantity. Tbs crop of strawberrias has been on
the whole good, though the blossoms suffered from
the May frosts in some localities, eberris may be
estimated at about average but of comparatively
indifferent quality. Pe&ches nectarines, and
apricots, the latter especially under average;. and
figs, as might have been expected, are very scanty.
On the other hand, small fruits, such as currants and
gooseberries, have been unusually abundant, while
raspberries have suffered from the heats. Nuts
supply an average crop, but walnuts are all but a
if•DerallY are found to be
complete failure. Fruits
deficient in flavour, owing doebtlime to cold nights,
and absence of ;unglue." There are two report.
from Dorset as follows :—Mr. T. C. Elliott, of
Melbury Hones, says: Apples, • good few, boa
under average, and in the cider orchards in this
neighbourhood crops are very poor indeed. Pears,
average crop. Plums, generally a poor crop, but
some aorta have done well am Moroooo, Coe's Golden
Drop, Mitchelson's, and Victoria. Strawberries,
thin at first, but continued mach longer than usual
in bearing, so that we had a fair supply. Cherries,
best crop for several years. Small fruit's: =mita
of all kinds, good ; gooseberries, the sees.; rasp-
berries, thin at first, but have bad • fair supply,
and still have fine fruit. Mr. Henry Munro, of
Cleveland., Lyme Regis, reports: Apples, mare.;
very little cider will as made; blooom was destroyed
by • severe frost early in May. Pears, below
average. Plums, thin crop. Strawberries, below
average, but good in quality, ebonies, fair. Peaches
and nectariowi, very fair. Small fruits; full crop of

Friday.—The supply of old English
wheat here to-day was very limited; of new. moderate.
Owing in Nome measure to the prevailing flue weather
for harvest work, the trade was heavy, and Monday's
prices were barely supported. We were tolerably well,
bet not to say heavily, supplied with foreign wheat, in
which sales progressed slowly, at late rates. Floating
cargoes of grain met • heavy inquiry, and the quotations
had a droopit g tendency. The barley trade was very
firm, and priors were well supported. Tbe supply of
malt was good, and very little was passing, at the late
decline in value. There was a steady sale for oats, at
full quotatiins. The show of samples was only mode-
rate. Beans and peas were quite as dear as on Monday.
Neat to nothing was doirg in flour.
BRUCTOL, •Thureday.—At our market to-day there was
a good supply of English wheat. nearly all new, which

samples of new malting barley were on 'how, the

THE PORTLAND - GRANT MONEY.

lb die Editor.

Dasr jr,—Permit me to say a few words to ell whom
it may ancearn, through the medium of your valuable
pa r, on the old subject of the grant money. But
though it is an old theme of discussion amongst the
Inhabitants, and in your journal as the local paper, the
grievance which first brought it into promineoce still
remains, while the need for its bring redressed is =r
than ever, sines the establishment of the Local
and its intentioa to place the island in a good
creditable state both as regards our highways and
drainage. It was stated a few weeks hack that the grant
money did not amount to more than MOO a year, but
this I shall show your readers by indisputable facts is
entirely erroneous. The following table obtained from
official source., shows the amount received by the
Crown, and the amount received as g rant money by the
trustees for the benefit of tbe inhabitants of Portland,
from the year 1860 down to the Present time. The
Crown minim 2n ow too on tho stone raised, and the

THE ntILDT MONUMINT.—We are glad to see that
the testimonial to Admiral Sir Thomas Hasterman
Hardy is being thoroughly rensired. From the
exposed situation of this tower, being the highest point
in the county, the weather has inade sad havoc with
the atone, and • large portion has crumbled away,
so much so at to have rendered it dangerous for 10010
time past. The top will have to be taken down and
rebuilt. Arrangements are made for preventing the
water from entering at the top. The expense is borne
by the present owner of the estate, William Masada,

"LETTERS UPON THE BISHOP OF SALIS-
BURY'S LATE CILLROIL"

To Ike Editor.

Sir,—The only mistake in your review of my
"letters upon the bishop of Salisbury's late charge,"
which I am anxious to oorrect, is one which would lead
your readers to suppose, that "the principal inhabitant"
of this parish " has left his parish church." Let me
assure you that this is not the case. For the twenty-
nine years that I have been Rector, nothing but peace
and good-will have reigned among us, and never niore,
thank God, than at the present moment. Differences of
opinion will, of cowrie, rise up from time to time; but
we have learnt how to bold each his own, and yet to
treat one another with affectionate respect For the
rest I refer your readers to the "letters" themselves,
observing only, that they are not at all intended as a
defence of the charge; I have no pretensions whatever
to the learning PeCe•Wy for such a task : they are
merely intended to show in the sbnplest possible
language, and in the shortest possible form—first, what
the doctrines in dispute are: secondly, that they are
consistent with the formularies of the Church of
England.—l remain, Sir, your obedient servant,

HINSON.

A SAD CAOZ r JUVEXILK DZI'RAITrT.-At the
Winiborne Petty Sessions on Friday last, Frederick
Barrett, aged 10 years, was brough up in custody
charged with stealing a half-a-crown, the property of
John Warren, his step-father. Emily Warren, mother
of the accused, stated that on the Bth August she placed
• half-crown in box in her bed room ; she locked the
ho s and put the key in a jug by the side of her bed.
IThen she returned home she found that the box had
been opened and the half-crown taken away. Charlotte
Warren, sister of the prisoner, stated that some time
after her mother west out she went upstairs and found
the box had been broken open and the money gone.
She previously knew that her mother put the half-
crown there. She went and told her father, who sent
for a policeman. PC. George Hart stated that he
apprelrnded the prisoner the next day, and charged
him with stealing the hall-crown. He did not reply,
but on taking him to the station, he confessed that he
stole the money, and that be hid it behind • laurel
bush near his father's house. Witness afterwards
went to the place and found a half crown and three-
half -pence, secreted under a bush. The father-in-law
of the boy stated that for some time past he had stolen
a number of articles, that he was often absent from
home till late at night with bad companions, and that
himself and the boy's mother had tried all they could
to get him to be • better boy, but he got worse and
worse, and for his own good they were compelled to
have him before the 'bench. The Chairmarn very
kindly addressed the boy, who, however, appeared quite
calculi and indifferent; and after a short consultation
the Bomb ordered him to be imprisoned for one month,
and afterwards sent to Ililhorne reformatory for five
years, at the same time expressing • hope that the
religious and moral training and discipline he would be
under there might lead to his becoming a good man
and useful member of society. On being removed, the
little fellow's spirit entirely gave way and be cried
bitterly.

THE CURRENT HARVEST.

The Gardener's Chronicle and Agricultural
Gazette, after giving a table, foanded on numerous
harvest reporta of its own, ender the headings "over
average," "avenge" and "under average," remark.:
—"lt vrill be seen from this table that wheat
promises • less satisfactory yield than even 1665 and
1666 ; but it will be neoweery that the reader
should correct the impression gathered from these
totals by an examination of the detailed reports,
especially in our great corn-growing district' in the
eastern and southern coalition Barley is
probably an avenge crop as regards quantity
of yield, but mach of it must be of very
inferior quality. Oat" are • better crop than
they have been for the but two yeah. Beans
are generally remarkably rocls but peas are
considerably inferior to last year's crop, which warn
unusually good. For the rest, there is generally
• fair promise of green crops, mange* and turnips.
Potatoes exhibit more than usually abundant signs
of the disease; and there has been • very heavy
crop of hay, most of it well got in. Three reports
are given from Dorsetahire, as follows :—Mr. R.
Damen says Wheat-average. laid. Barley Dna
oats, average. Beans not much grown. Pee., over
aveiage. Potatoes mach diseased. Root
crops, very promising. Hay, great crop.—
Mr. John Pope, of Symoodsbary, reports :
Wheat, under an average. Risley, large crops
but more thin barley than lent year. Oata and
beans, good. Peas, great crop, Potatoes, more
disease than for many years peat. Rook crops,
promising. Hay, good crops and well secured.
Mr. T. H, Saunders, of Wateroombe, says: Wheat,
full of rust, much laid, average crop. Barley,
muds straw, nearly &Maid. Oats, average crop, full
of rusk Potatoes, partially blighted. Root crops,
generally very good. Hay, good crops, mostly
well mtde.

SocirrY.—At the recent meeting hell in the
Mowlam Ingitute, in aid of the above society, J. H.
Calcraft, Elul, presided. The rector opened the
meeting with prayer. The report for the past year was
read by the loyal secretary, the Rey. 0. Hinds, which
showed that the Swanageprople were in earnest for this
great and good society. Mr. N. C. White deserves
special mention, that young gentleman, with charac-
teristic teal, having collected in his Bible box over
£24 during the past year. Addresses were delivered
by the chairman, the secretary, Rev. It. Hooper,
Wesleyan minister, the Deputation front the Parent
Society, Rev. E. W. Page, Lit., lind the Very Rey.
the Dean of Carlisle. The Doxology being sung the
meeting separated. The collection at the door wee
shoat £9. Considering the unpropitioasser of the
weather there was a very good audiences. The Vary
Rev. the Dean of Carlisle preached • very approonato
sermon on behalf of the Swann', Char& of Fegland
Day and Sunday schools on Sunday, the 11th instant,
from Ecclesiastes xi.. 1. The Dean spoke most touch-
ingly on the ministerial office and responsibility. His
eloquence rose to • climax while expatiating on the
moral and otherwise beneficial effects of the working
men's reading rooms in the manufacturing towns of the
north. H. very mush deprecated the present system
in the south, of taking boys to work at such an eatly
age as Boren or eight. He spoke of the halUtime system
as likely to come into general operation. After saying,
from his experience of ball a century, he had had ample
Illustrations of the good results of populat educatixn,
he concluded by telling his numerous congregation
that £l4 were required to meet current expenses. In
answer to his appeal EIS were collected. In this parish
there are two lame national schools taught by two
efficient certificated masters, sewing mistresses, pupil
teachers, and paid monitors. The government reports
for the past year are most satisfactory. On Tuesday
afternoon the children and teachers of the Sweaters and
tiertton sunday schools were invited to the rectory,
where the ehildren were happily regaled on the lawn
with an abundance of cake and tea, and afterwards the
teachers and fliends were sumptuously entertained in
the rectory garden. After tea followed various amuse-
weep., which were most cordially enjoyed by the
teachers and children. The afternoon's recreations were
most animating and gratifying, and terminated at a
seasonable hour. The whole expanse wee berm by the
worthy rector.

A BRUTAL HOBBLED.—At the Wimborne Petty
Sessions on Friday last, John Bartlett, of Lytchett
Matravers, was charged with violently assaulting his
wife, Elisabeth Bartlett, and also with assaulting hi.
motherin-law, Mary Marsh, an old woman about 70
years of age, the former appeared to be suffering great
pain from the bridal violence of her husband, and the
latter had two fearful Meek eyes. Defendant who was
evidently very much the worse for liquor, pleaded
guilty to the assault on his wife and admitted he struck
her several blows with • broom stick, but denied
striking the other complainant. —Mazy Marsh stated
that about half-past nine o'clock in the morning of the
2nd of August, a girl named !Betsy Hopkins came to
her house, and said "For God's sake go down to your
daughters." She went, and found Bartlett beating her
daughter with • stick. Witness spoke to him and said
'Why don't you give up this, and go on better." He
then abased her very mush, struck her a violent blow in
the eye, and caught her by the throat. Sli• eanght him
by the • hiskess, and he then pushed her down 'mom
the tbreshold.—The Chairman said it wan a most di..
graceful and brutal assault. When the defendant's
wife mane to him she was covered with blood, and her
mother's eye and face were quite black, and he under-
stood that the defendant had been guilty of cruelly
heating his wife for some time past —ln defence,
Bartlett pleaded aggravation Oh the part of the women,
and said that even the "Old boy from below" mild
not have put up with it. Defendant's wife, like many
more under such circumstances, appeared to relent
towards her husband, now pleaded that if he would
promise to behave better in future the Bench would
forgive him, but the chairman said they could not let
ouch an aggravated case pass without inflicting some
punishment, and sentenced him to one month's im-
prisonment with hard labour, and to find surety in £2O
to keep Clio peace for Mx months.
