PRESENTATION TO MR. W. MEARS.
For about 30 years Mr. W. Mean has been the
eitief superintendent of the Dorchester and Southamp-
ton district of the L. and S. W. It, and during that
Wine has won the esteem and respect of all with whom
be has had to meet. Especially is this the case with
*le employes of the Company under his manage-
ment. His general kindness of disposition and
uprightness of character had endeared him
to all under him, and they sought to show
their appreciation by preeentirfg Mr. Mears with
a testimonial as a slight acknowledgement of
his kindness. Accordingly a committee was formed
and subscriptions solicited, and m hearty was the
response that soon over £4O were contributed. With
this the committee decided to purchase a timepiece,
and Manors. Saunders and Jacob. the well-known
silversmiths and jewellers, of High East-street, were
consulted, with the result that they were entrusted
with the commission, and right well did they execute
It by having specially manufactured a very handsome
article. It was valued at about £415, and wpm much
admired
The presentation took place on Tuesday evening in
the gentlemen's waiting-room at the station,
immediately after the departure of the 6.15 up train.
Amongst the numerous connsany of employes and
others present were Mrs. Close, Mrs. Will., Miss
Bank*, Miss Hookey, Mr. Odell, Mr. Wolff, nenr., Mr.
Wolffiun., Mr W. Warren, Mr. Norwood, Mr. J. Fry,
Mr. %•ite. Mr. Young and also the committee, viz.,
Mr. T. Ranks (chief of the locomotive apartment),
Mr. H. Wills (district travelling inspector), Mr. J.
Dart (chief clerk, goods department), Mr. E. Burden
(assistant inspector), Mr. B. Close (booking clerk),
Mr. J. 11. Watkins, Mr. J. Perkins, and Mr. J.
Lawford.
Mr. T. BANZSI, an the oldest servant of the Com-
pany here, was chairman of the committee, and made
the presentation In doing en he said they had
brought him (Mr. Mears) there in order to present
him with • testimonial. He hoped they had not
taken too great a liberty in doing so. A great
number of the men in the district who had served
under him were very anxious' something of the
kind should be done, that they might evince
their esteem for him, and as he (the speaker)
was the oldest servant at the station they had asked
him to make the presentation. He (Mr. Ranks) had
been working under Mr. Mears now for about 30
years, and many in that room he remembered for more
than 20 years of that time. The reason they had
selected the timepiece was that it was an article
which was not likely to wear out in a few
months or a few years, and would not soon be
forgotten. It was • substantial article, and when Mr.
Mears had gone it would be handed down to his
children and to their children afterwards. (Applause.)
He hoped Mr. Mears would live for many years to see
that it went properly and kept good time, and that
they should all have the pie:same of serving under
him —(hear, hear)—of which they would never be
tired. (Ap,dause.) He begged Mr. Mears acceptance
of the timepiece and also of the following address
which he would read :
" •• "

To William M,'orn, Esq., Superintendent of the London
and South-Western Railway Gminant at Dorchester.
"On behalf of the numerous Pm),loyls of this company
serving in your district, we are requested to ask you to he
go.si enough to accept the companying timepiece AN •
small token of the regard and esteem in which you have
been hem for the post 30 year. by all elasses haring the
pleaoire of nerving under you, and, with every good wish
for your future pnsmerity and happineaa, we hut to
remain, yours faithfully, Times., BANKS, ligvar WILLS,
1411ILS DART, EDWIN BVIIPEN. 13101JAMIT CLOSE, JOHN
HISNRY WATKINS, JOHN PRRICHIS, JOHN LARFORD, com-
mittee."
Mr. MEARS, who wan evidently affected by the
somewhat unexpected display of kindness. said it was
most gratifying to him to receive such a token of
respect. lie haul that afternoon received a casual
intimation that it was coming, as be had met
their member, Mr. John Floyer, who asked him
if he haul seen the timepiece they were going to pre-
sent him with, remarking it was a very handsome
article. That was the first time he (Mr. Mears) had
seen it, and he was very pleased with its appearance.
He hoped that be (Mr. flanks) would convey his best
thanks to the committee and subscribers for their
kindness, and he assured them he accepted the pre-
sent with the greatest pleasure. (Applause.)
Mr. BANKS then proposed "The health of Mr.
Mean," which was most cordially received, Mr.
Mears being loudly cheered, and briefly acknowledged
the compliment.
Mr. WILLs remarked that no words could adequately
convey the tribute of respect felt for Mr. Mears from
the highest to the lowest of the servants under him
(Applause.)
Mr. Mean shortly after left, and was immensely
cheered, the pleasure* of the meeting being continued
for some time.
Mr. T. SAUNDERS (who was present) was heartily
thanked by the committee for the very satisfactory
manner in which the firm had executed their com-
mission, and the compliment was duly acknowledged.
Mr. Saunders could vouch for the stability of the
article, and it had been specially manufactured for the
occasion.
The healths of Mr. Banks, Mr. Wills, and others
was afterwards cordially received, and the proceedings
were brought to a elem.

SUDDEN DEATH Or • GEHTLEHAN.-013 Saturday after-
noon, Mr. Paul Lair, of 2, Greenhill, suddenly died. It
teems that Mr. Lair was in rather feeble health, and had
been attended by Dr. Smith for natural debility. On this
afternoon some other members of the family went out in
a carriage to play Badminton, but deceased would sot
join them, lie was seen afterwards to pass the kitchen
window, and a little while following &gentleman whom*
walking in the garden of the next house with his children,
saw Mr. Leir lying on the steps in such • position that
he might have lain down and gone to sleep. A short time
passing, finding that Mr. lair did not awake, this gentle-
man became alarmed and sent his little girl to tell the
servants that a person -as lying down. They went and
found him senseless- Dr. Smith was sent for, and found
that he had been dead some little time, though he WM
not cold: he had a cut on the hack part of bit head, and
his bowler hat was cut through. The Coroner was
informed, and Mr. 11. Lock, deputy, came down and made
an enquiry, but did not consieler it necessary to hold an
inquest. The lamentably sudden death was alluded to on
Sunday in the sermon at St John's Church.
Cora V. Monzy PRIZEIL—The Exeter and Plymouth
Gazette writes :—" From time to time since the Torbay
Royal Regatta I have heard sundry uncomplimentary
remarks freely used in yatching circles respecting the
difference between the real and fancy value of the
prizes offered by the Royal Torquay Yacht Club, but,
as it seemed to be mere gossip, I paid but little atten-
tion to those remarks, It now appears, however, that
there is a great deal of truth about them, and the
matter its referred to in the Mikhail Feriae as a
"too common scandaL" The principal prize offered
by the Yacht Club at the Regatta was a very hand-
some cup, which was stated on the bills and programmes
to be of the value of 150 guineas. This cup was won
by the ifforindo. Her owner, Mr. Jessop, haying
already won its foe-sinah in a Thames match, where
the value of the prize had been given as £lOO, asked to
be allowed to change his new cup, not caring to have
a duplicate of his old one. In the correspondence
which ensued, the Treasurer coolly admitted that the
Torquay Cup, though advertised so of the value of.
£l5O guineas, cost only £lOO, the same, in fact, that its
'Thames fac-eimile had cost. These tactic's cannot be
too strongly condemned. The inevitable result will
be to disgust yachtsmen with the Torbay Royal
Regatta, and to seriously damage its future prospects.
Mr. Sivewright, an old and influential member of the
Regatta Committee, has taken the opportunity of
clearing this body from any imputation of complicity
in advertising a prize as of greater value than its real
cost. Many people, anxious for the honour of
To-quay, join Air. Sivewright in the hope tat the
Treasurer of the Royal Torquay Yacht Club will be
able to shew that the prize in 9nestion is worth nearly
150 guineas, or at least that it is worth more than
£lOO. Mr. Jesssop has been urged, in the interests of
yachtsmen, to seek his remedy at law. The matter is
not likely to he allowed to rest in its present unsatis-
factory state."
itETIZEMFET or THE PO9THA9ITER.—% connection
with the large alterations contemplated at the Pont-
office, in its removal to another building to be especially
fitted if n. it built for the purpose (anti which alterations
we wrote of some weeks ago) was the anticipated
retirement of Mr. C. Read, the postmaster. At that
time, by request, we kept the expected retirement
private; but it has mince been announced. A con-
tempt trary adds the following, with which we cirdially
concur :

" Ur. Read has seen great changes since feint: in the '
service, having commenced his career under the
postal
late well remembered and esteemed postmaster, Mr. John
H srvey, the originator and proprietor of that stupendous
national work, the Portland Breakwater. On the death
of Mr. Harvey Mr. Read served under his widow, who
succeeded her husband for a short time, and at her death
he obtained the appointment of postmaster, which post
from that time up to the present he has tilled with honour
to himself and to the satisfaction of the whole town. It
is almost needless to say the work considerably increased
since his first entry into the service, which was just after
the adoption of the penny post. At that time there was
but one postman for the whole of the town, Mr. Read and
an assistant discharging the whole of the duties devolving
on them in connection with the duties of the Post-office,
,In order, however, to show the increase which has taken
place in the work we may state eight letter-carriers are
now daily engaged for the town deliveries, three established
clerks, and two sorters, while the office itself, although
far two small to meet the requirements o 4 the public, is
M
about six times the size of the old premises
where r.
Read passed his apprenticeship. He made himself exceed-
ingly active in bringing about the transfer of the old
telegraph place of business to the post-office, for which he
received not only the thanks of the secretary, but also
those of the chief engineer of the department, and worked
most aesidtiously in order that the undertaking should be
successful. If e has seen ii. wishes realised, for some
idea of the extent of work now transacted in convection
with the telegraphic department may he imagined when
we state at the time business was first opened at the Post-
office there were hut one clerk and one megienger, now
there are three established clerks. one assistant, and four
boy messengers. Thirty year.* hard active work in the
public service iv quite sufficient for any one, and none will
we are sure, grudse Mr. Read his pension on retirement.
He has been a zealous and obliging public servant, and in
leaving the cares and responsibilties of office to younger
and stronger men, we trust he may find health and
strength and live for many years to enjoy the fruits of his
well earned pension."
The retirement will take place at the en.l of the pre-
sent year. As to the successor, the wishes of the
town are, we believe, decidedly in favour of the
present active, most courteous, and business-like chief
clerk.

LONDON MISSIONARY SOCIETY—The annual public
meeting of thin society was held at Gloucester street
chapel, on Wednesday evening. The Rev. W. Lewis
presided, in the absence from home, of the Rev. E.
Bolton, and opened the meeting Rev. T. Heave
(Dorchester) sought, in his speech to excite the churches
at home to more viguor and earnestness in behalf of
missionary and all Christian work, Rev. Mr. CREAGH,
missionary from the South Sea Islands, advised all who
had not read John Williams's book on the south Sea
Islands, to get it and read it through. But John
Willuuns's labours were confined to Eastern Polynesia,
while there are many interesting things in Western
Polynesia, which of course are not detailed in the book,
among them he mentioned the enormously long puddings
of the natives, which are baked. In some islands the
savage natives wear about their neck a little bag, contain-
ing perhaps the big toenail of a dead man, the wearing of
which is supposed to make them invulnerable. But the
idols are altogether gone, so much no that the natives of
some of the islands had to go to the missionary museum
in London to see what sort of gods their f sayers
worshipped. To show how ignorant some of them used
to be, he told how a ship was dr,ven ashore, and the
natives carried off all the articles they could including
souse gunpowder, and as they were playing with it, it ex-
ploded, and killed the chief, on which they, supposing
that their chief was killed by the power of the white
man's God, resolved to he revenged, and murdered the
next Crew of Europeans who came ashore. Among their
customs used to be that these brown islanders would daub
themselves from head to foot with white wash in order to
prepare themselves for the dance. But all these customs,
including that of polygamy, are done away with, and now
they have missionary meetings. The May meetings include
throe days—the first when the guests arrive, the day of
the meeting, and the day of the dispersal. The prepar.
:diens for the tiolet occupy • considerable time, for

5,000 people. From these proofs of improvement he
argued that Christians at home should go on and increase
their contributions and prayers for mission work. A
collection WU made from seat to seat. Rev. J. BAILIT

feel for the work of the London Missionary Society.—
