FIARFUL GALIS AND LOBS OF • BRlG.—Sunday
night, the 15th instant, was in the words of an old
sailor "an awful night." There was • strong gale
from the S.S.W. accompanied by hail storms.
During the night the Saint Philomine and the Flora
were wrecked' the first near this port, and the latter
at Yarmouth, but happily no lives were lost. The brig
St. Philomine, 237 tons, from Isigirey for Cherbourg,
in ballad, was in tow of a French tug, when the tug
became disabled and she was obliged to let the brig go;
upon this the captain (Comberuous) made for Stsidland
Bay with two French pilots, but unfortunately she
broke from her anchorage and drifted on the Bourne-
mouth sands, where ake still remains- The crew
escaped by gettingashore, The Flora (owners Messrs.
Ballard and Co., of Poole), went ashore at Yarmouth.
The crew were saved in the Yarmouth lifeboat, arid
they arrived safely in this town on Tuesday evening.
ODDF[LLOW3HIP.-0n Thursday evening the Good
Intent Lodge of Oddfellows holds supper at their lodge
room, at the Crown Inn. The chair was occupied by
the ex-Mayor (Alderman Bro. F. T. Rogers), and the
vteeethair by Bro. W. Turner, medical oMoer. About
70 brethren were present —The Chairman proposed
"fib. Queen," followed by "the Prince and Princess
of Wage and the rest of the Royal Family." He
next gave "the Bishop of the diocese and the clergy
and ministers of all denorninstions."—The Vice-Chair'
man proposed "the Army, Mary, and Volunteers."—
o. Sergeant J. Dnnford than returned thanks, and
recommended that all Oddfellows should become
Volunteers—(hear, haze)- —P.P.G. IL Bro. J. Goff pre-
pared "Success to the Manchester Unity of Oddfellows"
—(atisere). It was a society with which he had been
connected for nearly 28 years. Twenty-five years ago
it was prophecied that the Manchester Unity would
not exist for 25 years; and the members had a great
deal of prejudice to contend with; but nothwithstand-
Mg all, the Unity was never in • more proud and
elevated position than now—(hear, hew). They saw
It prospering on the right hand and on the left; and
thousands in that district were reaping its benefits.
Thousands of members were added yearly to the order,
and its accumulated wealth was ennually increased by
thousands of pounds—(hou, hear). It had lately been
shown that theirs was a very eeonomical society, and
conducted its affairs in a very cheap way The
Manchester Unity business was coodueted with so
small an outlay that it was covered by a halfpenny
levy on each member once in five years. -
—CS. Bro. W. N. Western, who was received with
please, contended that e very man in the country
ertved a benefit from the working classes combining
ogeth or in order to provide for themselves in the hour
of affliction and distress. By the case of lodges in the
north, he warned them agaMst Committing the error of
theieforefathers, who disbursed too much money in Dto-
- to the sums Pail is. for so surely would they
come to the stale disastrous end as the unfortunate
lodges be referred to. He expressed the pride
it gave him to be one of the Board of Directors,
and testified to their impartiality and economy.—
P.G. Bro. W. Curtis proposed "the Poole District and
Officers."—P.G.M. Bro. Holmes responded. He said
the financial paition of the district was highly setis-
factory, for its wealth was over I:21,000, and 0,000 had
been paid for sickness and death.—The Chairman gave,
" Continued Prosperity to the Good Intent Lsdge."—
P.G. Bro. W. Sharp, the secretary, returued thanks.
He expressed • hope that those who held public posi-
tions in the town would look more attentively M. the
working of the society before instead of after the death
of any of its members. The widow of • member of
the lodge named Lock (who had himself proposed as
many as a hundred oandidatesfor initiation), at his
. death received from the lodge what was due, but of
this she was eompelled to refund £3 17s, to the parish !
During the last twelve months the lodge had paid £202
for sickroom and £6B is 6d as its contribution to the
district fund for deaths • total, 039 7s ; and ,
the total wealth of the lode was R 2,913 B,—(cheers.)--
P.G. Bro, W. 2'ravess then proposed "the Widows' j
and Orphans' Society "—(eheers)—which had now Keenmulated a large amount of money—over £3,000. By
payment of 2i a quarter they could provide • auto of
£2O for any near relative Wet death—(hou, hear).—
P.P.O.M. Bro. Goff, in responding said the committee
about • year since felt anxious to know its position,
and submitted their affairs to an eminent actuary and
the result showed that they had • surplus of £5(10, so
that the payments in case of death now amounted to
£22 12a—(bear, bear). The society had now £1,115 in
the bank —(oheers).—P.G. Bro. W. Curtis proposed I
"the Foresters and other kindred societies"—(cheers).
—CS. Bro. W. N. Western responded on behalf of the i
Foresters.—P.O. Bro. F. Sharp proposed the health of t
" the Visiting Officers and Brethren, and P.G. Bro.
Mansion responded,—P.G. Bro. W. Travois proposed '
" the Honorary Members of the Good Intent Lodge,"
through whom their liabilities to the incidental fund
had been greatly reduried.—P.P.G.ll. Bro. Gulf gave
the health of the Chairman, an ex-Mayor and Alder.
man of the borough, of whom no one had heard any-
thing but good—(cheers.)—The Chairman said he felt
II was a gross injustice that when men banded them- ,
selves together, as the Oddfellows and Foresters did,
to provide for the day of sickness and old sge, and fur
the widows and orphans they might leave behind when
they died, that the sums of money which the widows
received should be appropriated by the parish, and he
hoped such an influential body as the Oddfellows would
obtain • remedy in the proper way—namely, by legis-
lation—(hear, hear)—for it was not in the power of the
Board of Guardians to act otherwise th.n they did.
He serrated that the next tints the Board of Directors
met, their own director should bring forward the
subject. Such injustice was really offering • premium
for extraveganoe A provident man might contribute
weekly to provide for his widow and orphans at his
death, and an improvident man might waste his money
and leave his family penniless; and what was the
result? Relief was given in the case of the
Improvident man, and none in the case of the
man who was prepared for future contingencies.—
C.B. Bro. Western said this was the first time be had
heard of anything of the kind being practised that
was mentioned by the Secretary. He thought the
guardians of the Poole Union had always worked very
I well with the friendly societies, but it must not be for-
gotten that there were two parties to be considered-
those who paid the rates and the recipients of relief.
He knew one ease where a woman received on the
death of her husband £3O from the Lodge and the
Widows and Orphans' Society, nod the following week
she made application to the Board of Guardians for
relief. If there was anything he could possibly do for
justice to be carried out, whether to Oddfellows,
Foresters, or any other friendly society, he should be
ready to render every assistance, but he should not like
to go before the directors or the public unless he was
In possession of all the facts ;and thou foots be would
endeavour to obtain—(cheers). Brother Mundon pee-
-1 posed "the health of the Vice-Chairman and Surgeon
lof the lodge," and lAr. Turner replied. To "The
Host and Hostess," Mr. Baynton returned thanks.
"The Ladies," was acknowledged by Bro. J. Short.
I " The Pries" concluded the Waste; Meny excellent
songs were sung during the evening, and the proceed-
ings altogether were of the most gratifying character.

DEATH IN A LIME KILN.
Early on Sunday morning information warn given at
the polies station that a youth had been found dead in
a lime kiln at Longfieet. The police superintandeot at
*me proceeded to the spot and there he found the corpse
of Tom Travers, aged 17 years, with his head partially
burnt. It appears that Joseph Woodrow, Alfred
Saunders, and the deoeased had been out on Saturday
evening. They had hail some boor together and then
returned home. The deosasedihowever, would not stay
at home: he said he should go to the kilns. They all
three went together, and each got into a hole in the
kiln, which had finished burning at seven o'clock, and
they put up some boards in front of the holes to keep
the wind out; They stayed there for several hours.
At about four o'clock Traveri called out, "0 dear,
, 0 dear r upon which one of his companions cried
out "Tern is either dying or dead." An alarm
' was raised, and the burner of kilns sent for, wheat
it was found that that Travers had got into the kiln-
' hole shout nine feet. An instrument was obtained,
and the poor fellow we. pulled out, but he was quite
dead, and all the skin was peeling off the upper Part of
the head. The body was subsequently, by permission
