our advertising columns that Mr. W sllsc., of 91.
Harley-street, London, visits Dorchester every alter-
nate Saturday, his consultiog rooms beiug at Mr.

THI CHISTXUTIL—Ao illu,tratim of the unfruitful-
ame of the past season may be *sea in the Chestnut
Walk. Although the leaves hare long ben falling,
then are so few chestnuts as almost to warrant the
disappointed boys ire d claring—tbere are none at all
to-year."

The Fu Ent:ex.—With reference to • remark in
the feet County Brame we note that two guineas is
the fee per day for employing the engine outside the
Borough, and this doce not include iwyment for horses,
or for the Superintendent and the Fire Brigade. On
flue occasion of the late fire sit Forston, the engine was
aU ready,everything in perfect order, and only waiting
the material proof of a guarantee that its presence at
the fire was desired.

ALIKOTOX Hau.—The improvements at this hall
Sr. now eo advanced, under the direction of Mr.
Vatchrr and Mr. llibben, that the place le quite a
credit to the town. and cannot fail to confer distinction
on Durngate street by b.ing the scene of many
Important meetings. Mr. Vatcher intends to light up
the large new sunlight on Monday, to-night, when the
Rev. T. Knipe' and those who attend, will have the
first view end lainefit of the completed alterations.

HOSPITAL Seinsr.—Sercoons were preached at
immoral t.f the churches in this town on Sunday on
behalf of the funds of the Dorret County Hospital,
£l7 141. 10.1. b.iogrealie-d at Holy Trinity, and about
£l4 (with donation.) at St. Peter's. At All Saint's the
collection was deferred on accow.t of the rector's
absence, and 8A Fordington because of the alterations
In the church. At Christchurch the collection will be
made on Sunday weak; the other churches will also
make their collection.' shortly. May we suggeet—the
sooner the better, before the shadow of the expected
hard winter comes?

TRAIN TABLZ Aurcasrmite.—The 5.40 a.m. South-
Wl:darn train from Dorchester for Salisbury, is dis-
continued; South-Western trains leave Dorchester for
Weymouth at 11.17 and 11.47 instead of 11.40 and
12.14, as before ; and the train which used to reach
Dorchester from Salisbury at 9.10 p.m. is discontinued.
—Great-Western trains. The former 2.14 down train
now steals from Dorchester at 2.10 p.m., the 4.0 p.m.
from Weymouth to Dorchester, and the 5.0 p.m. from
Dorchester to Weymouth are discontinued; the 7.10
p.m. from Weymouth to Yeovil is discontinued, but •
mixed train vrffi start from Weymouth at 7.15 pm.
H.M. Osol...—The pulling d iwn of the old Dor-
chester Castle and building of H.M's New Priton go
on steadily together. Of the immense mass of bricks
brought in by the three traction engines and deposited
an each aide of the porch, more than three-quarters
MIMI to have been used in the work, yet we believe
three or four years will have to pass before the prison
'hatbands@ will have a gaol to please them. instead of
the old building which, though declared "entirely
tmenitable," oast the county se much at the instigation
of Government Inspectors. The old boundary wall
will be preserved, at least for • oonsiderable time.
To Tea Farming or TIM BLUID.-.Poor Speackland
told • painful truth when be wrote of the long dull
bows paned by the Mind. Mr. flidny 8. IMedge,
of Weymouth, who bolds • very valuable library for
the blind, ham kindly consented to lend us • fear supply
gratis of them books for soy blind person in Dorchester
whose friends will guarantee that they shell return
the books within • reasonable time damn and other-
wise undamaged. Moon's system is the omen which
they are embossed, ands,' understand that the system
is van quickly learned by those anxious to read.
Antioslios may be made at the Telegram °Sloss,

sitreet, or, better, at Werra Milledge's Auctions
Mae, for Weymouth.
THE Loan MAYOR'S BALL. The Mayor and
Mayoras of Dorchester (Mr. and Mr.. Alfred Pope)
were among the guests of the Lord Mayor of London
(Sir Charles \Vhetham) at the brilliant ball given by
his lordship at the Mansion House on Thursday
evening last to the provincial Mayors and other
Corporate dignitaries. The ball war held in the
magnificent Egyptian Hell, and the splendid supper
In the apartment on ordinary occasoons used as •
ballroom. There were between SOO and 900, and the
Mayoress had the honour .4 being one of the principal
guests of the evening, enjoying the gratifying
compliment of being escorted to supper by the Lord
Mayor himself, his Lordship having justly remarked
that lie could not more appropriately bestow the
preference than on the Mayoress of the chief town of
his own native county.

GARI ALLOTMKSTS. —The allotment ganlens for
working men, situated on the Bridistrt-road, now
number 114 plots. Thbe work was cotumenced by the
late Mr. Herbert Williams, who obtained the rental
of a piece of the Duchy property. The management
Ii now in the hands lof Nlissirs. D. Thornton, H. Durden,
and T. S. Biggs, and to encourage the men in the
cultivation of the gardens, these gentlemen offered six
three for the ~Id allotments awl three for
the new, the latter being a piece ;.f land added during
the peat twelve months. The &war& are as follow :
Old Allotments—First, 150., William Talbot, No. 3;
stecond, 10s., William Fox, No. 15: third. N.., JanleS
Masterman, No. 6; very highly commended, Frank
Matthews, No. 14; highly commended, John Maids,

Leonard Harris (No. 114) and Fred Longman (No. 90) •
highly commended, John Trevett (No. $7) and William
Satchel' (No. 91).

Tag FISH MAR[CT.—Some of the fishwomen hays
occupied positLns on the pavement with their baskete
for some time part, but they were not welcome neigh-
b ,urs to the tradespeople who regularly occupy stalls,
and accordingly. on Saturday last the new borough
surveyor, who sh clerk of the market, proceeded to
make the fish vendors keep themselves and their
belongings further off from the stalls. The nymphs
who deed in caller heroin' and mackerel, objected to be
deprived of their place, fancied they smelt • fishy
transaction, and treed to stick like limpeta the stones
where the baskets were set down. At lest they were
moved on, rather crabbed, but found no rest for their
moles, having got too clone to another stall. Billings-
gate fisherwomen are proverbial for choice varieties of
English, but the wrath of our Dorset flaher•ueople was
vented in such mild ways as exhortations not to be
"fees," and obscure reminders that somebody might
be dead before night, and then they wouldn't want the
Mall. The borough surveyor managed them as gently
as an angler with a big fish held by a single-hair line,
and though they were like fish out of water at having
to move, • new place was reached without moots
floundering, the police helping to preserve the pesos.
