DOZONISTIII.
THE DORBET COUNTY MUSEUM.

The above building is completed, and can now be
headed over to the Museum Connell as *you ea the
£BBO, at this moment owing, ham been collected.
"

_
At one time the erection of a new Museum had
newly to be given up, owing to the lack of funds,
when a few gentlemen, some of whom are by no
means over rich, came forward and guaranteed that
tb• money should be forthcoming when required.
To theee ten or a dozen guarantors, the £BBO is a
heavy liability, but if all clamed connected with the
county of Dorset would but subscribe a trifling amount
the sum mull be raked without any great individual
sacrifice, and the guarantors, who so pluckily, same
forward at the time of need would be at once freed
from their heavy liability.
I would add that not being a guarantor myself I
hove no personal interest in the matter, further than
that I am most anxious that those who did guarantee
the money should not sutler for their good nature.
