THE COUNTY EYE INFIRMARY.
To Mt !Jaw..

Sir,—ln your last issue is a long and interesting
account of the meeting of the subteribers of the Wey•
mouth and Dorset County Eye Infirmary. Will you ,
allow me to make e few remarks thereon. lit, I
consider the present Infirmary quite sufficient for all
the purposes for which it was built—it is capable of
receiving 10 or 12 in-patients. and., if these be properly
and carefully /sleeted, I feel sure no urgent cue need
ever be refund. The situation is good, sway from the
glare of the sea, and as one of the Governors very I
pertinently asked "Is not • sea view bad for the eyesT. '
I would answer without hesitation very bad indeed. I
, Then the site of the Son Inn is very objectionable, as
was explained by more than One Governor, to my
nothing as to the cost, which was simply ridiculous.
But now 001119% the question what is to be done' I
would reply, stay where you are, carefully select your
case., keep all expenses as low as is compatible with
the cure of the patients, husband up your prevent
resources, and then, when • rye/ need is felt for more
room, well consider whether an amalgamation with the
Royal Infirmary would not be very advantageous, or
with the County Hospital at Dorchester. Why I suggest
male-emotion is tins—the patients would have the
benefit of more advice, there would always be two OT
more surgeons ready to hap if needed, the outs would
be less per patient if joined to either of the above institu-
tions, and the general management much more readily,
and ought to be mole economically, carried out.
Ever since the Eye Infirmary has been established, I
have always beard that there has been plenty of room,
and if loin time past, why not now, bemuse numbers
of eases are now treated in the County Hospital which
used to be sent to Weymouth. If an amalgarustion
with the County Hospital or the Infirmary could be
contrived, might not a proper ward for eye diseases be
provided, and the present Infirmary at IVernouth be
need as • Sanatorium for convalescing patients? and no
doubt but numerous oases, not only of diseases of the
eye, but others as well, would be greatly benefited by
such • change.
I feel, sir, these ideas are erode and not well ex-
pressed, but they may serve as hints. One thing I
hope, if it be decided on pulling down the present and
rebuilding another Eye lofirmary, that the governors
will never even eoistillenet doing either until they have
sufficient capitol in heed not only to begis but to
complete, and also promises of support sufficient to
defray the current eapensea.—l am, yours sta.

PUDDLETOWN.

TH3 LATE Plll. A correspondent sends us the
following .--The paragraph in your last issue. relative
to the late fire, Is so much calculated to mislead, and
has been the subject of such wide-spread remark, that
I will thank you to insert the following refutation. That
the fire was a disastrous one, none will deny, but that
it was the work of an incendiary no sensible person
believes. The general belief, at the time the fire
ociourred we., that it originated in a defective chimney
of one of the thatched cottages, and I do not hesitate
to say that snob belief is well founded. The chimney
had for • long time been in a dangerous state, and the
owner of the property had been warned by a sweep
named Haseldine, of the danger to whieh he wee
imposed. Haseldine has stated that there were
fissures in the chimney, under the thatch, large enough
to plaee his hand in. When the cry of fluor was first
beard, a small semicircle of dame was seen on the
thatch aloes to his chimney ; and, when the thatch
waa torn of, an immense OMNI of flame was found
underneath. The bedrooms of the adjoining houses
were full of smoke before the thatch was pluck-d
away, and there can be no doubt consequently toat the
are commenced, not on the surface &sit has been sought
to prove, but underneath from the defect in the chimney.
On the day of the disaster, • man named Bashrod, was
emitting on the church tower, and had lit • are in the
ehurchyard to melt some lead. In conversation with
his fellow workman • short time alter be said that he
felt • momentary fear, when he saw the fire, that •
spark might bare been blown in the direction of the
thatched house; but • moments thought cionvineed him
that this could not be, as the chursh intervened, and
the distance was too great From this slender founda-
tion "twenty tongues at once, conspiring in senseless
jargon" in every tap room, have framed a tremendous
hill of indictment against the man Bushrod, and sent
for Mr. Superintendest Bare to investigate the matter.
but he, with the baud prutioal sense, chuuterestic of
, his profession, very soon saw that his informants had
discovered • "maze's nest." A tr,fiing quarrel a few
, weeks ago, between Bushrod and a fellow workman set
the story afloat in embryo, but the petty spite which
led the latter to twist and wary his fellow workman's
words into • charge of incendiariem, cannot be too
severely condemned, and it is much to be regretted that
any persons should have been found as to give him
credence. The tut that he kept silent for • whole year
ought at once to have excited suspicion.
