At the peliosecourt yesterday, when the increase
voted by the vestries of Lo ,gfleot and Parkst o.et
their rate c ire was laid before the justice. for
coaltirmstion, Mr. Alderman Curtis remarked that this
year the official salaries had been adds I to, to the extent
of £lO6. I sin glad to hear it. The better any firm
pay, ite employees, the more ft opi.hiug we may be
sure it is. This little intreas., therefore, of :lost over
100 guineas may be taken as an incident showing that
the Borough is not going back in the scale.
Mr. Pearoe's few kind and feeling remarks
upon the subject of the death of Mr. Schreiber
will, lam sure, be re-echoed by AIL That be did his

In an evening paper I read (list at the dinner of
the Royal Aseociation of Musicians on Tuesday
among the diebee were sw,ostbreads ca demi devil

I understand the Town Clerk left Poole yestoorday
for a two months stay at Median., with a vi,w
recruiting Ma heslth. Should the necessity f any

obviate any Dec silty for aopointing a deputy.
