HOW TO MAKE triE OF THE GRANT
MONEY.
To the Editor.

Sta,—Owing to the lamented death of the late
Captain Manning, Trustee of Her Majesty's Grant,
another trustee has to be appointed, and this is the
omission of various schemes being put forth for the
best application of this great boon bestowed on the
Island of Portland. I would suggest the following
to the careful consideration of the inhabitants,
believing that the more public the use is made of the
Greet, the better will it. objects be attained. Port-
land requires water, drainage, paving, and lighting,
which are the great desiderata for public happiness
and prosperity. Portland at present is most ineffit.i.
ently drained, and although plenty of water is
obtainable, it is not easy to procure ; paving of our
street& there is none; lighting we have had; but from
the low date of the Local Board's funds, we have
been obliged to recede again into darkness.
Now, if £4OO a year were set aside from the
Grant, it would pay the interest at 4 per cent. on
10,000, which I would suggest should be borrowed,
and that the whole Island be drained, water works
be establishe I, the streets be paved, and the Island
in general be lighted. I believe this sum %meld
cover the expenses. The water works would imme-
diately bring in a revenue which would quickly
redone the capital borrowed, for I firmly believe that,
in the second year of their existence, more than
£l,OOO a year would be received from the supply of
water to the inhabitants". I calculate that then by
these reductions, and the constant diminution of
interest that wont' be required from the Grant
money, before 10 years had elapsed, the debt would
be paid. By that time, and by this management,
and taking into consideration the increased revenue
from the waterworks, more than £1,600 • year viciald
be obtained for payment of the local rates. This would
relieve phi ratepayers, plenty of work would be
immediately obtainable in the Island, the distress
which is at prevent suffered would vanish away,
prosperity would be enjoyed by all, grumbling over
the Grant money would cease, and the Trustees
would confer such an everlasting benefit on the
Island of Portland and its inhabitants that their
names would be banded down to posterity AS "The
Suoceesful Trust"—! am, Sir, your obedient servant,
CAVE HOLE.

THE CONTAGIOUS DISEASE AMONGsT
ANIMALS IN SOMERSETSHiItE.

We understand upon good authority that during
the last quarter there were no ler than 20iri head nf
cattle affected with the foot-and•moiith disease in
Somersetanirs. It has been declared to exist in it,
following petty sessional divisions : Axbridge,
Wells, Shepton Mallet, Ilminster, Long Ashton.
Somerton, Temple Cloud, Weston, and Wincant,,n
There were only three outbreaks of pleur—
pneumonia—one in the Wincanton division, and the
other two in the stock of Miss Bright, at Abhc,t

Leigh.
The foot-and-mouth disease seems to be eatending
over the county, but there is reason to hope that
tbe more serious isomplaint of pleuro-pneumunia has
been checked.
The sheep "scab' has been also most prevalent.
It has appeared in 23 different lidoke of sheep ill ii,.
following divisions : Axbridge. Bridgwater,
Minster, Glastonbury, "'initialer, Temple tioud
Willitoo, and Yeovil, and altogether about :its) smst;
have been affeeted.
The police in the several divisions are nsing every
exertion, under the orders of the magistrate,. to
prevent the spread of these diseases, sn,l sssmi
persons have been summoned before the Justices for
infringements of the act, and fines to the mount of
£2B inflicted. In one instance a cattle dealer •as
fined £2O for a gross violation of the order in Council
and there was no sympathy for him, for it stn.,.
quently transpired that he was instrumental in
spreading to • large extent the foot and mouth &mean
in several districts.

LYME REGIS.

Asi.gar ex Sunday evening week
• lad, named Charles Keech, eon of a man in the
employ of Messrs. Brown Brothers, of this town,
fell asleep during the service at the church, and at
the conclusion was left undisturbed sad unnoticed.
The gas was turned out and the doors locked, but no
one thought of the little sleeper. The wows after
• abort time became rather anxious, and, se the
night advanced, enquiries were made in every
direction, but all to DO porpoise. The child had
only recently returned from a visit to his grand-
father, and had so much enjoyed it that be had
several times said he would go back with him. The
I recollection of this gave some slight oomfort to the
parents, they thinking be might have made a start
by mail-cart in that direction. On enquiring of the
sergeant of police, who bad met the mail cart at
Charmouth,, he said the child was not with it.
Having beard that the child left borne for church,
the sergeant presumed he might have fallen ash ep
there, which proved correct. The church was upend,
and the child was found lying near the centre ritoh.r,
having fallen from the singing gallery In his sleep.
Luckily the fall warn broken by a cord which had
been in use ae • support for the Christmas decorations,
and threw him into the cushioned seat below. Th.:
lad, however, is much bruised.

SWANAGE.

_ - -
SALVAGE. —During some very heavy weather, a
few days since, • large French vessel was soon off
Peveril Point with • flag of distress flying. John
Dowland, fisherman, and John Hizoa, marine, at
ono' boarded her, and took her safely into Studland
Bay. Her cargo was a valuable one, and £lOO was
claimed as salvage. Some disputa having arisen,
It appears the aooeptance of £2B has closed the
affair.

Accifiuwv.—A poor boy, named Totterfield, wee
seen the other day to fall in the street. On being
picked up his leg was found to be broken. Some
commiseration is felt for the little fellow as he has
just recovered from a severe accident, in which it
was almost felt neoeseary to amputate one of his legs.
Mr. Delamotte has set the limb, and the boy is doing
well.

ing in behalf of th s society, took place on Thursday

very happy one.

in the event of their requiring his advice, he should be
happy to give them • dose of medicine. The health of
Mr. Etqmit.s was given, as founder of this lodge. Mr.

day following the day of application (Wednesday,
the 22nd ult.). On that day the doctor made a
hurried visit, and told the woman that her husband
was suffering from an apopletic tit, and directed her
to send for medicine Dalt morning,which the woman
alleged she did, by sending her eon to the place
appointed before the hour named ; but the boy,
after waiting over two hours, could not ate Dr.
Hardin. She, however, received some medicine
between six and Seven in the evening. Dr. Hardin
Galled on her next day, and told her her husband
was dying, and on Friday night he did die. Accord.
log to the woman's evidence, on application to Dr.
Hardin for his signature to enable her to receives
certain sum from an insurance society, he positively
refused to sign the paper, and eventually thrust the

magistrates, made an enquiry, at the Police Court, as to the
treatment of the prisonerOnorge Sims whilst under the cam of
the Poole Police •uthorities before his removal to the County
gaol, where he died, but owing to the enquiry being private we
ars unable to give the particulate of the evidence as given before
the magistrates. it appears to be the general opinion in thia
town that the enquiry should have been a public one in the
Town Hall, and that would have set at rent the idle tales that am
told of ill treatment of prisoners both St Poole and other places.
To the remark, of our local correspondent which appeared In the
Express of Tueralay lAA it may be added that the three men
(George Sams and others) were suffering from the itch when
they were taken Into custody by the police, and films then
stated that be should be glad to get into gaol for the winter for

MORAL AND MENTAL IMPROVEMENT INSTITUTION,
Eairrotr. —On Tkurday evening last, our popular
lecturer, Joseph Drew, Esq., gave his capital lecture
on "Ghosts" to a very numerous audience. Tbe
chair was taken by Mr. W. Attwooll, who presided
in an able manner. Throughout the two hours which
the lecture occupied the audience were enraptured
by the eloquence, ingenuity, and thorough research
displayed by the lecturer. Mr. Drew does not
believe in "Ghost.," in the ordinary sense, and
ably exposed the folly of the creed in witchcraft,
or modern spiritualism, condemning the barbarity
of the former, and the absurdity of both. Mr.
Drew, however, argued for the occasional appearance
of spirits on the earth, and gave a number of instances
where their appearance was satisfactorily vouched.
Whether " the age of miracles is panned" or not,
and whether these instances could be explained
away or otherwise, there can be no doubt that Mr.
Drew made the subject a very enjoyable one, and
proved that

" Mere an more things in hi-liven and earth, Horatio,
Than aredreamt of in our philueophy.

Cordial votes of thanks to the lecturer and chairman
were unanimously passed.

that he was recalled, when he obliged by singing a
also from Dr. Bernes's poeWa gem.. In the
interval between the Brat and second Parts, some

he a great mom. In the second part Mrs. Mclntosh

to the delight of the audience. Mr. West sang
