yards at the Railway Station. She was told by a
daughter of prosacntrix that the coal wail the property
of her father, but she took it away nevertheless. On

GUARDIANS" AND COUNCIL MEETINGS.

To the Edetor.

I suppose "Observer" and "Lover" are convinced,
by the leat precious specimen of a Coun,il meeting,
that open meetings are likely to bring us into
contempt. Fortunately, there being at Orient no
scope for would-be demagoguse in the Guardian.'

And isn't it time for the Council to hold their talking.
matches in committee, at some place where their
" pot-house" amenities cannot be beard, am they too
often are, through partition and door by those out-
side? Instead of enlarging the Council Chamber,
where their noises would still disturb the precinc,a of
the Guildhall, and make the policemen's fingers itch to
do their duty, why not utilise the Market Rouse
cellar.? There room might he found, and an extensive
piece of Council property turned to account, while the
tvaluebk results' of an old improvement scheme would
be ever present to their eyes. ibe more I think of It,
the more convinced I am that the sooner the Council
adjourn to committee meetings in the market house
cellars, the safer for the credit of the town. Respect-
able peaceful members would of course stay away, and
leave the quarrelers:no to yell to their hearts' content
In the shades below. As to rates, the last Guardians'
rate was Is. 21. in the E, of which the poor mt. was
only 7d., the Council's waste rate, or borough rate Sid.
Watch rate 2a, other charges, • halfpenny. Here
you have Gid., for Council rates, halides the Council's
Local Board rate.

BLAINDPOILD.
SERIOUS FIRE Al WHITCHURON, NEAR
BLANDFORD.

On Friday morning about two o'clock, a fire broke
out le this village, which resulted in the total
destruction of the Poet-office, • thatched building, near
the centre of the village. It appears that Mr& Arnold
wee the first to find that aconethiug was wrong, • .d
with comiderable difficulty she erase I her husband,
the post master. It. wad only just in time to risco*
two of their children sleeping in • room where the firs
was burning, and as quickly as possible he raised an
alarm Toe flames, however, spread with such rapidity
that the whole of the furniture, bedding, and clothing
not acutely in use was totally dest 'yed. doe- to the
Post-office lea carpeater'eshop belonging to Mr. C. Fry,
containing hi. tools and stock-ia-trade, and the whole
wee destroyed. A building used by Mr. Crowder for
making spars and ghee cribs, with the °lsamu', was
also burst, and &la a pig..tye, but the pig woe rescued.
Within • short distance there were other thatched
premises, and the marvel is that with the buruing
thatch blown about they did not take fire. Crowder's
house had • narrow escape. Tne cause of the firs is
nut at present known. P.C. Elford, who 44 stationed
In the village, returned home from hit rounds about
midnight, peados the Poet-office. Everything thee
appeared safe, but he was aroused by the alarm of
"hr." shortly before two, and the Post-office was in
full blase at two o'clock. S .me are of opinion that
the fire originated from the outside of W. Arnold's
dwelling-house. Superintendent Underwood, of Blend.

view of ascertaining the origin of the conflagration.
