A "duck" hunt created the greatest amusement
for a quarter of an hour, some eitoellect sport being
shown by the •' duck."
Later in the evening the members and friends of
the club assembled at the London Hotel, where an
excellent repast, served up in an admirable manner,
was placed on ;he table by Mr. and Mrs. Howe, to
which full justice was done. Mr. fieptimns Mace
occupied the chair, and Mr. Thomas Walissibly
officiated as vice. •

he did not think they could do better than join iUt.
such sports as those in which they had taken part
that day, as by them the stamina of the youth of the
country was increased, who, should they be ever
milled upon, would be ready to defend the Queen
and Constitution of these realms. (Cheers.) He
believed that there was nothing better for this pur-
pose than their float Club and Athletic Association
which bad been formed in the town. (Loud
Cheers.) He then proposed "Prosperity to the
town of Weymouth." He said he was very happy
to say that the boat club as far as in them lay, had
done all they could to provide ainneemeat for the
town, and was sure everyone was most anxious to
still further that object. He maintained that it was
essentially neoeseary that some sort of amusement
should be provided for visitors, and alluded to the

suffered more severely than ever. For six moralis
never laid down in bed. I thought myself sinking to

no avail. My husband, wh WM quite worn out for

great relief, and the thifd ot ftrptrth night I never coughed
at all—the first night's rest! had had for six nion.hs.
In a very short time niy cough was completely eared

THE PARISH CHURCH BELLS,

The following letter boa been addressed to his
parishioners by the vicar of Beaminster.
Dear Brethren,—

In consequence of certain mis.statements which have
appeared in some of the local journals, respecting the
ringing of the Church Bells on a recent occasion in this
parish, I think it right, both for the sake of my Dis-
senting parishioners, and others who may have been
misled thereby, to say a few words on the question at
issue between us.

FORDINGTON,

THAIIILSOIVINO.—On Sunday IteXt the
Annual harve-t thanksgiving services are to be held at
St, George's Church. The offerings of the worshippers
will be redeived at each service; and those presented in
the morning and evening are to be devoted to augment-
ing the funds of the portal day-school, which, we regret
to learn, are at a low ebb. It appears eminently fitting
that the thank offerings of the congregations at services
, celebrating the ingethering of the Nu-resit should be
applied to promoting the education of the children of
the poor, for to the parents of many of inch, humanly
speaking, are we indebted for the performance of that
labour required at the bands of man before he may
reap the harvest. The school of this pariA, moreover,
seems to have peculiar claims upon Christian benevol-
ence. It is in the midst of a populous and poor district,
where much evil prevails ; rendering it increselngly im-
portant that a sound and a religious education stionki
be afforded to the children—the fathers of the
parishioners yet to be, which will enable them to with-
stand the pernicious influences and evil examples by
which they are beset. The character of the services to
be held next Sunday, and the objects to which the
offeringseire to be appropriated, alike commend them-
selves to our understandings and hearts, and we trust
that the church will be thronged on each occasion with
joyful worshippers—men and women not content to
give praises with their lips only, but to ratify their
'thankfulness by sots of loving charity.

!agriculturists of this and the adjoining counties. After
partaking of the luncheon, tl'e company repaired to the
sale yard, and afters few remarks from Mr. Godwin the
sale commenced, and a thorough alearance was soon
effected. The prices of cheep and horses were extremely
high, stock ewes making from Eos. to 00s. per head;
the best horses realising from 30 to 46 guineas each.

FURTHER CONFESSION OF PRITCHARD,
THE GLASGOW MURDERER

Subjoined is the confession now made by the con-
demned criminal Pritchard, now lying in Glasgow gaol
for execution on the 28th inst. It will be remembered
that he made another confession on the 11th inst., but
that is withdrawn, and a truthful confession made.
Here it is
"Confession by Edward William Pritchard, and made
in the presence of an all-seeing God, and of the Rev.
T. Watson Reid, my present spiritual adviser, on the
19th day of July, 1865, at Glasgow prison, for com-
munication to the proper authorities
"I, Edward William Pritchard, in the full possession
of all my senses, and understanding the awful position
in which I am placed, do make free and open confession
that the sentence prononnoed upon me is just; that I
am guilty of the death of my mother-in-law, Mrs.
Taylor, and of my wife, Mary Jane Pritchard; that I
can assign no motive for the conduct which actuated me
beyond a species of terrible madness and the use of
ardent spirits. I hereby freely and fully state that the
confession made to the Rev. R. S. Oldham, on the 11th
day of this month, was not trae, and I hereby confess
that I alone, and not Mary M'Leod, poisoned my wife
in the way brought out in evidence at my triaL That
Mrs. Taylor's death was caused according to the word-
ing of the indictment I further state to be true, and
the main facts brought out at my trial I hereby folly
acknowledge. I plead wholly and solely guilty thereto,
and may God have mercy on my soul. I pray earnestly
for repentance not to be repented of, and for forgive-
ness from Almighty God, through the intercession of
our blamed Redeemer, mediator, and advocate, Jesus
I (hrist, the Lord and Saviour. Fellow-creatures pray
for me, and lit me add I am in charity with all men.
I have now to record my humble thanks to all who have
taken part in any way for my interest."

THC EXPENSES INCURRED BY DR. COLENSO'S APPEAL.
—Some time ago the Government allowed the Bishop
of Cape Town his expenses in an action brought against
him by & clergyman; but they have refused the
expenses which he has incurred by the appeal of Dr.
Colenso. He petitioned the Treasury in due form; the
petition was referred to the Colonial Secretary ; and
this is the opinion which Mr. Cardwell gives in reference
to the matter :—" It appears to Mr. Cardwell that
whatever might have been the opinion of the Bishop of
Cape Town respecting the powers conferred by his
letters patent previously to the judgment in the case of
'Long v. The Bishop of Cape Town,' he must have heed
fully aware, after the delivery of that judgment, that
any attempt to excerise ooercive jurisdiction under
his letters patent was attended with the greatest risk
and uncertainty; and that if, under those circum-
stances, he choose to incur that risk, it was clearly not
to be expected that Her Majesty's Government should
relieve him from the consequences." On the 24th of
June Mr. Peel wrote to the bishop, on behalf of the
Treasury, a letter almost identical with the above,
adding that there lordship; were therefore not prepared
to authorise the payment of any compensation on
account of the expenses incurred.

Researches of Learning and Science should be Applied
to the Study of the Bible ;" "The Duty of the Church
towards the Heathen ;" "The Position of the Church

Mn. GLADSTONE'S FAREWEL\L ADDRESS.—" To the
Members of Convocation in the University of Oxford.
—Gentlemen,—After an arduous connection of 18 years
I bid you respectfully farewell. My earnest purpose to
serve you, nay many faults and shortcomings, the
inoidente of the political relation between the University
and myself established in 1847, so often questioned in
vain, and now at length nally dissolved, I leave to the
judgment of the future. It is one imperative duty, and
one alone, which induces me to trouble you with these
few parting words—the duty of expressing my pro-
found and lasting gratitude for indulgence as generous,
and for support as warm and enthusiastic in itself, and
en honourable from the character and distinctions of
those who have given it, as has, in my belief, ever been
accorded by any constitutency to any representative."

IT is well known that cream may be converted into
butter by simply being buried in the ground, but it is
not generally known that this mode is in common nse in
Normandy and some other parts of France. The pro-
cess is as follows —The cream Is planed in a linen bag,
of moderate thickness, whioh is caref ally secured and
placed in a hole in the ground, about a foot and a-half
deep; it is then cornea.. up and loft for 24 or 25 hours.
When taken out the cream is very bard, and only
requires beating for a short time with a wooden mallet,
after which half a glass of eater is thrown upon it,
which causes the butter-milk to separate from the
butter. If the quantity of cream to be converted into
butter is large, it is left more than 25 hours in the
ground. In winter, when the ground is frozen, the
operation is performed in the cellar, the bag being well
covered up with sand. Some persons place the bae con-
taining the cream within a second beg, in order to pre-
vent the chance of any taint from the earth. This
system eaves labour, and is stated to produce a larger
amount of butter than churning, and of exoellent
quality, and is, moreover, said never to fail—Journal

THE PLYMOUTH MEETING OF THE ROYAL
AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF ENGLAND.

WREN it is reeolleeted— that Plymouth is
one of those places where it inevitably rains 1
more or less every day, it may excite some
surprise if we add that the Plymouth meetine
of our great Agricultural Society, held in t
week was the most pleasant, though perhaps
the least important df its country gatherings.
A. combination of circumstances conspired to
enhance the pleasure of the occasion, more
particularly the admirable site and excellent
arrangements, and above all the visit of the
Prince and Princess of Wales • and almost
everything else was against the show in a
business point of view except that in point
of numbers the attendance places it fourth,
we find, on the list of the society's shows.
The singularly unpropitious weather for
the trials of mowers and reapers and
other harvesting machinery, influenced
although perhaps, it did not lead exactly to
the strangeness of the awards, since as re-
garded reapers these prizes at least were
given to implements of whose merits cheap-
ness rather than efficiency may be regarded

Your obedient servant,
RICHARD MAJOR.

Bridport, July 18, 186.5.

P.S. —Allow me to add that the book "Habits of"
Good Society" has been read and on my bumble shelf
for years, and that that exoellent work says : " •
courteous letter on matters of business demands a
courteous reply from • gentleman." A oon-
temptuous sileoce in such a case becomes no well-
bred man. Truly has Mr. Roebuck said the more I
study human character the more am 1 convinced—
the more I see—that the great difference between
one man and another is a difference in manners. Men
should study more the amenities of this life. The
poorest labourer under the sun may become in
manners as refined and as polished as the wealthiest.
