Does'? COUNT( 'Dermal- —The inmates of this noble
Institution have not been forgotten at this festive season
of the year, and owing mainly to the efforts of the chap-
lain, the Rev. J. W. G. Edwards, and the matron, Miss
Freeke, the various wards have been beautifully adorned,
evv. for the work having been kindly supplied by
th e H. Everett, Mr. K Pearce, dc., and the Misses
Penton, Mrs. Everett, ire., very kindly assisted in deco-
rating the chapel, where service was held on Christmas
DIM which was attended by various friends of the insti-
tution. On the sill of the east window was • bed of moss
with the name "Emmanuel," and at the rear of the Com-
munion table the inscription "Glory to God in the
highest," bordered with evergreen. The walls were also
adorned, and the panels of the end gallery bore the in-
scription "Peace be within thy walls." The various wards
of the hospital were also artistically adorned, and many
were the mottoes that met our gaze. It is cheering to
know that at this semen those whom Providence hive
caused to spend their Christmas within the walls of this
institution have not been.fercotten, and those who have
participated in thus providing for their enjoyment, may
find their reward in knowing that Christ Himself said
"Inasmuch as ye have dons it unto one of the least of
theme my brethren ye have done it unto me."
Paler:ire Mrnionisr CHAPEL—The opening services
of the new Primitive Methodist chapel. in Durngate-
street, took place last Sunday. The building is • neat and
tasteful structure, and reflects great credit on the
architect, Mr. S. Jacktion, of Weymouth. The builders
were Messrs. Davi. and Son. of Dorchester, and they have
done their work excellently and promptly. The founda-
tion stones were laid lad August, and now the chapel is
opened. l'p to the present time the outlay has been
£OOO, but it is intended to add a school-room, which will
cost .e2OO more. At the opening services on Sunday, the
Rev. S. Doleon, of Weymouth, preached in the morning,
and the Rev. T. Neave, if Dorchester, in the evening.
At the latter service the chapel was crowded The
collections were equal to the expectation of the friends
On Monday evening a public tea was held in the British
Schoolroom, and no noinermis was the attendance that
the friends had to partake of it at two sittings—ln the
evening • public meeting was held in the chapel when
there was a large attendanee. Mr. R. Vincent, of Abbots-
bury, circuit steward, presided, and excellent speeches
were made by that gentleman, the Rev. IL Richardson. of
Portland, the Ray. J. liarrington. Itaptist Minister. Dor-
chester, the Rev. S. Doreen, Weymouth. the Rev. T.
Reeve, Dorchester, Sc. At the close • vote of thanks was
unanimously passel to Mr. H. Gerard Sturt (new Lord
Allington) for his munificent gift of the ground for the
chapel, to the Rev. T. Soave for his excellent sermon on
Sunday, &c. Altogether the meetings was • great success
and the Primitive Methodist friends are to be congratu-
lated on their efforts,
Foornsu- —A match was played on Monday, m Deceber
47th, between the Illacknaeor Vale and the Dorchester
Football Clubs on neutral ground at Yeovil. The ground
was somewhat slippery, but the weather overhead was
favourable with scarcely any wind. The Dorchester men
having won the toes elected to play with what little wind
there was, and their oppmenta started the ball. After a
long struggle, in which neither side side eppeared to have
the advantage, a try was secured for Dorchester by R.
Tanner, but the attempt to kick a goal proved • failure'
a second try followed, but with no better result But
shortly before half-time was called • third try obtained
by E. Tanner was converted into a goal by his brother.
At half-time the belligerents changed goals, and the game
was recommenced with renewed ardour by both parties.
The Blackmoor Vale men, though not able to obtain any
decided advantage, oftentimes much endangered their
adversaries' goal by the plucky runs of Harding, Penrose,
and others. At this juncture the fine runs of E. Tanner
secured more tries for Dorchester and two goals were
kicked, one by Damen and the other by E. Tanner. The
match concluded in favour of Dorchester by three goals
and two tries against nothing on the part of the Vale
men. This result was mainly owing to the splendid play
of K Tanner, who was ably seconded by Baskett and It
Tanner. On behalf of the Vale A. Magee, Cooper,
Penrose, and Harding had striven manfully though with-
out success to avert defeat, and though beaten were very
far from being disgraced. This well contested game was
witnessed by a large concourse of spectators, who seemed
thoroughly to enjoy it. The field for the occasion had
been kindly placed at the disposal of the contending
parties by Mr. John Brooks. The respective teams were
as follow :—Dorcheater : E. J. Damen (captain) and J.
Lutnam, three-quarter back.; K Tanner and S. it,
Beekett. half-backs K Beach, back ; R. Tanner, F. Davis,
C. C. Tani:rick, J. Glyile, 11. Seaman, W. GI de, J. Reader,

YOUNG MIGN's CHRISTIAN ANSOCLITION.—On Thursday
evening there was a goodly gathering of young men at
the above association to hear an address from the Rev. W.
Allen, Wesleyan Minister. The esteemed president, Mr.
G. Curme, presided. The meeting was opened by singing
the hymn " I love to tell the story" from Moody and
Sankey', songs and solos, and prayer by Mr. Allen, after
which the rev, gentleman expressed the pleasure he felt
at being present to address them. He liked the title of
their emaciation, there was something attractive in it to
the social mind—A Young Men's Christian Assuciation.
He concluded they were all members of some Christian
church. He had very little faith in those christians who
ALA not belong to some church, and he considered it to be an
essential of every member of such a society to be so aro-
ciatecl. The disciples were first calM &Aeneas at
Antioch, and they gloried in the name because it showed
they were followers of Jesus Christ; but there are many
who are called christians who are not followers of Christ.
Tell their ungodly neighbours that they are not
christbans and they would be offended. But say what
they might they were not Christiana unless they had an
experimental knowledge of God, and those persons who
were living without this knowledge had no right to the
name of christian. There were various sections of the
christian Church, and these have different forms of
church government, but he believed them all to be
equally pleasing in the sight of God. And as with
churches so with individuals, there is much difference of
opinion. Some will tall us that to he christians we must
be moral. upright, honed, and so forth. But much as he
(the icer) praised those who were moral and as much
as those who led moral lives were to be cornmendevi, yet
morality was not Christianity. We can have morality
without Christianity, but it is impossible to have Christi-
anity without morality. Religion is • Divine principle,
and was the one thing needful to a life of honour, a death
01 peace, and a heaven of triumph. We must all be care-
ful that our religious opinions are grounded on the Word
of God, for the Bible is our only guide, the only chart
given to lead us through life to the haven of eternal
repose. In steering through life there were many fogs in
which they were in danger of being misguided. He (the
speaker) did not refer to the natural fogs, as they were
soon dispelled by the sun. But there were other kinds of
fogs in which young men were in danger of. There was
the fog of intemperance--not of drunkenness only—but of
every kind of interuperance--againet which they must
guard. They must be temperate in thought, temperate in
theirs x premien.; tem perste in j udgmen t, teln Pena C in sleep,
and teiuperate in dress, that is they should dress according
to their station, neither above or below it. They could not
change the lean —it would be the same person, they would
belong to the same family, be moving in the same
circle, be employed in the same shop or office, fic. Again
they must be temperate in eating, for the gormandisers
were Jed as hateful in respectable society as the
drunkard. They must lie temperate too in their drinking.
There were some men who drank until they became quite
helpless, until they could neither walk or talk, and who
thus make themselves lower than the lowest of the brute
creation,

Mr. Sturt tiu not 'mistaken his vocation." He is to
become, not a parson, but a peer, and every true Conser-
vative in Dorsetahire and Wiltshire—for on the very
borders of this county some of his most !hely and dashing
speeche, have been delivered—will rejoice at, and cotters-
tulate him upon, his elevation to the House of Lords
under the title of Lord Alington. A more generous-
hearted or popular representative than the owner of the
broad domains of CricheL the county of Dorset has never
possessed for many • long year.
Lord Alington is the eldest son of the late Mr. Henry
Charles Sturt, his mother having been the third daughter
of the sixth Earl of Cardigan. He was horn at Crichel in
11125 and is married to Lady Augusta, eldest daughter of
Lord Lucan. Ile sat for Dorchester from 1847 to July,
Pei, and since the latter date has most efficiently repre-
sented the county.
In the pedigree of the Napiers and Shirts of Critchel it
will be seen that Sir Nathaniel Napier, knight and
baronet. ILP. for Dorchester. married the daughter of
William, Lord Alington OforeAina spells it with two Is),
Baron of Wymondly, county Herta, who died in 1724.

faithful services rendered to us are desirous (to parting
with him) of expressing our sentiments of his character

THEATRE ItnYAL—Thia place of amusement WM opened
on Monday night with a variety of entertainment for the
festive season. The Messrs. W It P. and C. Jeffery
were, as mina, the mainspring and centre of the company
who BO spiritedly faced the risks of the depressing
weather, and, as for many years Bait gathered Pleasure-
seekers to enjoy • Christmas laugh. The Drama was

The actors and actress are to be commended for their
praiseworthy efforts and Mr. Gee was a particularly good
old miser; while Mr. W. R. P. Jeffery was very laughable,
Mr. H. Hassock, a particular favourite, sustained the fun
of the piece to the last, and was extremely ludicrous
throughout. Miss Grey was remarkable for her action,
which was strikingly effective, eed Mr. C. Jeffery
represented the charcoal burner with good perception of
the character, and considerable talent Between the
pieces Mr. 11. Hancock sang "Tony Lumpkin," and,
being encored, "The Rustic Young Beauty:" and Mr.
W. Jeffery, Ws. Mortimer being unwell, came to the
rescue, and sang with much readiness "A couldn' think

Both he and Mr. Hancock were received with roars of
laughter. —The burlesque extravegansa "The Irishman in

had given notice of withdrawal.
Mr Coombs : Has an individual the power to drag people to

The Chairman thid the Bench did not think it was a proper

when the proper time came to hear it, for him to withdraw.
Mr ilanne and Mr ilnward had a further argument as to the
legal power of the Bench to grant costs.

plainant to offer evidence.
Mr Hurtle asked the Bench not to grant oasts to any witness

Mr Howard did not think they could go as far as that; Mr
Hanna had better say nothing about it, for It hail been thc

Mr Howard asked also for the advocate's foe.
The Chairman: We cannot allow that.
Mr Howard: Then a man may be punished by having to pay

Joseph Stone was summoned for intglecting town,' his three

Mr Hume appeared for the Chickens! School Board, and

one of the most flagrant camm as the man had not sent his

Tho anniversary tea awl niecting of the friends at this
chapal were held on Wednesday evening, when • goodly
company sat down in the schoolroom, which was right
well adorne.l. _

In the chapel gathered a large congregation, presided
over by the Rev. W. Smith, the former pastor, and there
were on the platform the Rev. W. Lewis (pastor), Rev. R•
Holton, Rev. S. Dobson. Rev. \V. W. Sherren, Rev. M.

here 16 years ago, and exhorted them to remember all the
way the Lord had led them, and also that there is work
for all. He welcomed those of other d 'initiations who
hail visited them to-night.
The Rev. W -•-is congratulated the friends on not
having such "J-4 weather as they had been distin-
guished for in past years, also on having the Rev. W.
Smith in the chair. The first tea-meeting he attended
here was held in 1/456, and he was glad that, after so many
years, be felt quite young again at having the premium
and guidance of the Chairman. It was a great thing for
a minister like Mr. Smith to come back again. and i.e
that the work had not died out but was going on. It was
a very solemn thing to look back for 18 years, and too
solemn for him tonight. But looking back on the last
few months they had been working on in the same kinds
of work as they started with, although they had not
started any new work. But this had been 5 year of
special revival outside, yet into this church fewer had
been gathered from the world than in any year of the 18.
They had been working on in harmony, but must take
care that it be not the harmony of sloth or death. In the
Sunday School they wanted more workers, especially for
the youths and lads, who require men who will devote
themselves tc them, and aim to counteract the seduction
of pleasure, especiadly at *hi time

The Rev. M. Citssoon did not know why other
Christians should not meet with them on such occasions.
The points on which they were agreed were far more
numerous and vastly more important than those on which
they disagreed. He could remember when the different
denominations of Christians were very much further
apart than now. We must show that our *Manta and
anos are the same, and then the world will be impressed
with the message we have to press on them. As to the
apparent decline in the numbers of persons brought into
the church, he objerlod to soy person judging of his
ministry by the numbers on the 'church rcgister. The
Gospel is growing into the customs and permeating the
fashions, so we bare infinitely better laws now, bemuse
the Gospel had influenced human laws. Let them be
encouraged, and might there be added to the church daily
of ouch as shall be aaved—(applause).

happily together. filieaking of Christian work, he said he
was glad to find a workman go to his work whistling or
singing. for that 'sea a sign he was going to it in a right
spirit. Christian workers .honid to their work in such
a spirit: let there be a spirit of rtroiting and praise in the
tuidd of our work, in the busy scenes of life. He prayed
there iniaht be an advaoce even in the visible work of the
detail. If we out alto the fields now, we see hut the
bare branches where wort formerly fruit; hut spring. antl

boa Rev. W. W. iiateartes ha'al-seen in a newspaper one
word .aft r.:peated, anal in large type, the word " Wanted.*
That sPPlied to v.o.ng people present ; they were wanted
to have wise heal,: and to no Lhe the labels frequently
to be seen in Weymouth at this seausaP of the year—
" Apartments to Let, Unfurnished "—(laughter). Wanted
also clear eves. People often went about MI if they had
no particular object for their organs of vision. Wanted
also attentive ears, v filch would aid in getting wise heads
and clear eyes. Wanted also, thinking minds. We
repeat a great deal too much uow-a-days, Instead of
there being dm power of vigorous thinking, wbere/fr
we esdmilate and make our own what we read.
Wanted also careful tongues. The text runs, "Swift to
hear. slow to speak." Let there he nothing approaching
to anger or bitterness, no that people may feel refreshed in
coning into contact with on. Wanted also, diligent
workers. There are some who seem always ready to
work, always ready at ban I when wanted, but when
they go away let there be others to rill the gap, and take
th...ir places. Might they have uany such workers in
the church shame the coining year —(applause).

Rev. S. durance spoke from the text '(.04 lequircth

required teachers, God would require at the end of the
coining year of every one that they should have done
their duty. Let them be sure to secure their own salva-
tion, and then consecrate themselves ;to Has service.
Christianity, even among those who do not quite accept
it, makes the street peaceable, and things better than
they otherwise would M. without it; but be urged them
all to .10 something for God's service, far lie ever requires
that which is past. lie prayed for mnch suocess on tba
church, that God's love might be proved on them tiR
every one should become burning lumineries in His
Sery icc —(applause).
