CORPORATION V ISIT TO FoIIDINGTON.-A considerable
number of the Town Council were seen in Mill-street,
Tordington, the other night. This Goverrunental
visit was duly appreciated by the inhabitants of that
pee of the ancient borough of Dorehester, and we
believe the representatives of municipal authority were
out of the old "Saxon, Dudek Burma " parish ,
some two boars and • half before midnight. We
understand that the Lighting Commibelnganxious
to investigate the dark places of the rth the mess of I
the Liglaking Committee was fixed for signt o'clock at
5w.-bridge. A worthy councillor osos said they
didn't want too much light in 11111-semet, and the
committee bad ample opportunity to test the °ormol-
us. of this statement. It is aot true that the nut ,
baron dinner is to be laid in the vicinity of the I
admirabie outtalk of thedrams.. provided by mud-

next our coundllors go Swan-hopping In Millmtreet,
something comfortable will be ?prided, and the health&
of 'the Inhabitants " and of the visitors " reseired
with mutual honours. After this recognition by the
council of the Fordingtoulan appeal-" Am I not •
man sad • brother?" we hops to hear no more con-
temptuous remarks about • " second Grovethuildinp,"

seeing in bow muck worse and lees comfortable o.aom
than Grovethuiklinge so many of the poor have to

amazement of the stage was in the toads of Mr.

a little lees acting and a little more music, be vocal
