ODDICLLOW AM IP —POOLS DISTRICT. —On Friday
evening Mr. W. Mord:aunt Thtselt on, of Weym nab.
the Worthy Master ti the Past Grande' Lodge of
Oddfellowa, Manc..e4er Unity, deli•..re I an .giress
on " Oddiellowship ' at the Alington Hall, Dorchester.
Amongst those pr, sent were Hr.. Chick (D.W.M),
Bro. Pike, P.P.O.K, BM. Groves, D.G.M., Bro.
Jackson, P.P.G.M., Bro. Palls, hon. sec., Past
Graeae Lodge, and others. Bro. Thiselton spoke of
the origin of the Order, the woudetfol progress it has
made in recent years how greatly it has promoted
thrift amongst the working classes, the grant principles
it loculcates in the mind, of her members, the saving
which it has effected to the pocket+ of the ratepayer.,
the vast sums it has paid in relieving sickness among
the members of the Order and to re'ativie on the
deaths of members. Al ter speaking of the advantages
which the society has for the young men of England,
Mr. Thiaeltoo mounded to refer to the various alter-
ations toads in the roles at the recent Animal
Moveable Committee at Nottin thaw. At the condo-
don of the address • very hearty vote of thanks was
accorded to Mr. Thiselt in, on the proposition of Bro.
Chick, manacled by Bro. Groves. Short addreeres
followed by Bros. Jackson, Pike, end Pella, and •
most agreeable evening was spent. The next meeting
of the Past Grande' Lodge will be held at Weymouth
in Jaly.
The Logook Ctry Iltasion.—One of the most
Interesting meetings ever held in connection with this
Mission took place at the Alingtou Hall on Torpedo,
evening. There was a large attendance, the RIM T.
W. Knipe presiding, supported on the platform by
Mr. G. Curate, Rev. E. Ludlow, Rev. C. F. Powys,
Rev. T. Nears, Rev. W. Allen, and Mr. Vicary
(City Miesioner.) A hymn having been sung, prayer
was offered by the Rev. W. Allen.—The Chairman
delivered • short address. They had that day the
advantage to have amongst them one who had himself
been labourine amidst the 1101171111. He could not
help thinking, when be read that Mr. Vicary came
from that pert of L ,nd.in in which his lab am seemed
to have been laid—Billinnigat•—it was just that
part of which he knew next to nothing. They had
soros idea of the remote parts of the earth ; they read
books of travels, and missionary labours, and they
pictured to themselves the habits, the scenery, the
mode of thought, and s ,mething of the literature of
the far distant lands, but the obscurity of the dark
places of their own land was seldom opened to their
view unless it were indeed when they came to the
meetings of the excellent London City Mission.
Mr. Vicary was not only labouring in • dark
pail of London—that great sad many-peopled
city—but in • part that was proverbially a
bad port. An ancient classical writer said
the Athenians of old time so pridei themselves
on their beautiful laogwe that the fishwives in
Athens used to correct sag* other if they spoke bad
grammar. He did not think the fishwives of Billings.
gat. were in the habit of correcting each other when
they spoke bed English. They could excuse their
want of grammar and want of elegance in their mode
of expression if they believed it ended there; but when
they said" talking Billingsgate" they meant a great
deal worse than bad grammar. Just as out of the
fulsome of the heart the mouth would speak, just as
when the heart was full of the goodness and mercy of
God the tongue would tell of its gladness, even so when
all was dark, hopeless, and dreary then the expression
of the tongue would even so testify to the absence of
and grace within. Hs then introduced Mr.
Mas one who was working in the heart of •
condition of wickedness and vios.—Mr. Vicary
Shea delivered an intensely Interesting address, and
dentriptive of the noble work carried on by the
Mission. He is • very able and effective speaker, and
his style manly yet winning. Speaking of the work,
be said the Minion had Ito backbone in bowie to house
visitation. No less than 390 agents were engaged in
vidtation,and handstand feet were stretched onion either
side, and Billingsgate was one of the fingers. He was
appointed nine years ago, and he was so appalled by
the difficulties, the violence, and the awful sin, that be
felt inclined to go beck and resign ; but he was induced
to remain, his work had gone on and on, and now he
would not change for anything in the city of London.
There were 460 agents employed by the society, but
they were determined to Increase it to 1,000. (Ap-
plause.) The society was unenearian in the truest
eons of the word, its teaching being bawd on the
foundation of the orthodox teaching of the Protestant
Evangelical Church of England. He referred to the
good work carried out by the Billingsgate Association,
• society of his own formation. which had fireatly
prospered. He brought forward many instances of
personal benefit, not for the pump on of showing there
was special glory in Billingegce, but as a simple
testimony of what had been done by one men. The
Mission was face to f..,ce with • great in 'rat soil;
countless numbers were allowed to fester in their
vice and ignorat.ce, neglected sod uncared for in
a city proverbial for its wealthy guilds and
Immense riches. He prayed his hearers to remember
them and their work at the Throne of Grace.
Mr. Victory's addles, was rich in anecdotes and
personal narratives, acid the deep religious feeling
which he infused into his remarks carried oonvicalm
to the minds of all that he is indeed a good servant in
Dolga cum.—The Chairman at the close expressed the
thaaks of all to Mr. Vicary for his excellent address. and
hoped the outcome would not merely be the raising of
senotional feeling, but that they would be Induced to
*odder it as a practical duty of their life to pray for,
end help in this great work. Though the work was
fly little compared to the vast population, let

tion brought the meeting to a close.

Tire WATeaISO OF 1712 SULU'S&
Mr. HOONSLLL said there were repeated cmnplaints
made about the watering of the streets. There was
£.32 a month laid out in watering.
Alderman LONDIt thought many parts of the town
were very well watered.
The Macon remarked that comparing the time
when they first undertook to water the streets,
the water used now was quadruple to that used
then.
Mr. MAMA, said that he wee up the Dorchester-
road on the previous day, and saw the water-cart just
go up through the middle of the rood.
Mr. BROWN had found various parts of the town
not watered until three o'clock in the afternoon.
These were important matters, and they ought to be
attended to. Their contractor was paid to do the water
Mg properly, and he ought to do it.
Alderman THOYea was of opinion that if the
matter wee represented to Mx. Jesty, he would see
that it was d ,ne efficiently.
the hisees, having directed the Inspoctor of
Nuisances to be called in, told him that there had
been complaints made there about the way the streets
of this towu had been watered, especially on the other
side of the water, Rodwell-road, amongst other
places • they Books to him on the matter, am they con-
eiders:l it came under his office.
'lle Inspector said the only complaint he had ever
received had been from the Mayor himself; but sti I
he knew there had been • little complaint as to the
warering of the streets.
The Macon cal i that a ratepayer had come to him
and said the water-carts leaked, that two buckets of
water leaked out going down Bodwell-hill, ant was
quite cure that if it had not leaked the road would not
have been watered at all. That was the substance of
his c
The Inspector said that in his opinion the town had
been over-watered nf late.
Mr. Currie said that now the Inspector of Nuisances
was there, there was another matter he sboold like to
mention—the gully traps and oesepoobi were opened
about 11 o'clock in the day, which was very objection-
able; he thought it should be done earlier in the day,
say about seven in the morning, and the pots and
kettles containing the refuse should be cleared at an
earlier period than at present, This wags fashionable
wdering-plaoe, and these things were most objection-
able.
Alderman LORIN' said he bad always found •
willingness on the port of the Inspector to carry out
any suggestion that had been made.
The Inspector said he wasn't going to be called in
there and be abused by Mr. Curtis. If Mr. Curtis or
anyone else had any complaint to make why not
write to him or wine to him in his °Skid rapidly.
Mr. CURTIS said his obsercatt ins were not against
the inspector, but to bring before the Council the
necessity of these traps being emptied, and refuse
cleared away at an earlier period of the day than it
was at present.
The Moron told the inspector to give the men
orders to clear the case pools and clear the refuse
earlier than they did it at present, and let people
know at what time of the day they would clear the
refuge. These observations were not made to find fault
with him.

occupied the chair. The Rev. J. Wood was elected
pre-iileut of the society a few weeks ago, but he was
away on his holiday at the time, and it was therefore
decided that he, having been president for two
succeseive years, should take the chair. He then
called upon the bon. sec. to read his report.
Mr. E. A. Lowe then read the report, which was
as follows :
The report was as follows :—" In presenting this, the

Scholars' Festival.—The usual festival of the scholars
was held at Btuclesees, through the kindness of Mr.
Knight, who granted the loan of the debt free of cost.
Toe day was line, and the festival a great success.
Teachers' Emsmination.—lt is greatly to be regretted
that the whole union could not furnish 12 teachers to
tom m a local centre for Weymouth for • teachers' ex smin-
atioa. In the previous year an ex aminstion was held
and seven teachers received certificates. The committee
fondly hop, that the first year will be an exeeptioual one
in this matter, and that hi the coming year • large
number of our teachers will avail thein.liree of this
mesas of acquiring additional fin-es for the great work of

feel confident our late president will be willing to aid as

Qoarteriy Meetings. Toe committee expresser he
thanks to the Roe. J. Wood for the admirable paper read
at Portland, and ls that so few of the Weymouth
teachers were present to hear it. There has been a tailing
off in the attendance of teachers at all thee* meetings, and
the committee desire to caLl attention to this fact, and
to urge on their fellow-labourers the importance of these
social meetings for united prayer and mutial counsel.
The committee warmly thank Mr. IL J. Rog-rs and
friends for the entertainment which took the pier, of one
of the quarterly meeting+, and mullet in • pleasant even-
ing tor all, and • consid ,rable financial gain to the funds

supp wt of all the members of our ebutches, we close
another year's report be referring ti the loss the Union
has sustained by the death of Mr. W. T. Roberts, s ho had
been for many years the teacher of the Youug Men'eCleas
in Hope School, where be Ifee made most useful. The
Christ whom he c dernended to others sustained him in
his fatal dine., and his death has been thn means of
twinging one young man to repentence and faith in Christ.
Dear friends, let us all "Work while it is day, for the
nicht corneth when no mso can work."
Mr. A. Demme (hon. treasurer) next read his
rep ,rt, which showed that £l5 Os. 10d. had been
received, whilst ELS 184. 2d. had been expended,
leaving an adverse balance of 17s. ad.
The Rev. J. TaArrOlU3 next distributed the prizes
and certificates to the succeudul scholars am follows :

The Roy. Focrt ALLIS (Yeovil) 'pit followed
with an intensely interesting address, mainly pointing
out the necessity of the preparation on the part of
the teacher.
The Rev. J. ALIN% also spoke at some length.
The meeting closed in the 0.11,11 way.

&plan ..r. _ --
that the gentlemen would not give up the loan of
the Royal Hotel, and he confirmed Alderman Thomas.
As to the practicability of oerrying the Esplanade up
the front ,f Greenhill Gsrdene to the preetee,resd he
thought it desirable thtt 'he surveyor should look Into
the water. He bad neon to I .ok at it, &Di since hut
reonembeied that the rod i in front of the Greenhill
Gardens bet mood to Sir Frederic Johnstone, con•
sequently that ground did not belong to them, although
they had a right of walking over. Some time ago Sir
Frederic Johnst .ne said be would expend £2 000 an
anything which they thought would be for the im-
provement of the town, and be thought whether he
would expend It on this object. No one would benefit
so much by it as himself. If thls matter could be
brought before him, they could saceotsin what be
thought of It, and to how much o e would help them In
the matter of eetending the Esplanade from Brune-
wick-buildings to the Preston-road. He moved that
Sir Frederio Johnstone be communicated with, sug-
gesting to him that such a thing would be a great
public Improvement.
Mr. Deems said he was really right down glad to
we Mr. Robena come out on the side of public
improvements. This proposal must commend iteeU
to every gentleman around that B aid; bethought the
extension of the &planed@ would be a great publio
improvement There was another matter; be spoke of
the state of the Esplanade on Whit-Monday, they
really ought to settle that matter at once, and he
hoped Mr. Robins would move a resolution to that
effect.
Alderman T 11011•21 considered that if they asphalted
It it would be • great improvement. They could lo it
in &salons.
Dr. DREW said they could do It in four sections In
four years. The probable cost would be £2,000, and
they could expend FAO a year.
The MATOIL said, II far as he WU personally
concerned, the extension of the Esplanade would be
most objectionable, but he saw what • great public
improvement it would be. Then let them do it, don't
let them talk and talk, but let them do it. If it was
necessary, and was a public good. let them do it. U
It was necessary that the Esplanade should be
asphalted, he would hold up both his hands in favour
of it.
Alderman THoNLS said he would lay before them
at the next meeting the subject of this motion.
Mr. ROBILNS' motion, with regard to the extension
of the Esplanade, was carried ritet. con.
This concluded the business.

Alderman Ta nuts considered it very undesirable
that they sh.iuld be placed there.
The MAWR thought they should have the dust bins,
but not placed In such public places as mentioned in
the report. He thought it would be of little use for the
