LANGTON MATRAVERS.

WATItt Strgrt.r.—A public meeting was held in the
National B.'llOM-room oo Wedoeulay strewing, June
29,h, under the presidency of Mr. F. F. Ilorrioe, of
Leeson House, to take into consideration what measures
should be adopted to supply the crying want of water
which is ezperienced by the inhabitants. Some have
to go a mile for a pail of water I It was found that •
watereart could at once beset on foot which would convey
water to the doors of the inhabitante at the coat of one
half-penny • bucket. It was sensed that any deficiency
which might accumulate over and above the payment
for water should be met by a general subscription.
An to • permanent supply the Rev. S. F. Trottnan
advocated .inklog two or three wells in different parts
of the parish, that the parish ahonld be mapped into
districts of 15 or 20 h01t...a each, and the occupiers be
canvassed to know what they would subscribe weekly
for four or .it months, and that the landowners should
be then asked to help. He calculated the cost at about
1:150. These proposals were heartily received, and a
large committee was formed to carry them out.

DARING BANK ROBBERY.

The Mechanics' Bank of Louisville, Kentucky, is •
large building in the very centre of business activity,
and Louisville contains • Population of two hundred
thousand souls, with an efficient police organisation—
fists elvish should be stated in order that the boldness
of the robbers may be fu'ly apprehended. On the
afternoon of the 17th of June the bank had closed at
the accustomed bcr.u- of two, but at five the cashier
wee seated alone in the principal ball communio•ting
with the vault.' and cash depositories, engaged in count-
ing up the deposits of the day. The outer door of the
bank was closed and locked on the inside. Suddenly
the ca-bier was surprised by the rapid and noisele.s
approach of two men, one of whom brandished a knife,
threatening him with instant death if be should make
the least outcry. Before be could determine upon any
course of action • handful of snuff was thiown juts
he eyes, • thick shawl saturated with chloroform was
thrown over hia head, and he was thrust violently into
• stairway lowing upstairs, and locked out of the bank-
ing-hall. His assailants then proceeilail to seise the
money in the vault, and cash-boles. and made good
their escape from the boildom with 65,000 dollars in
gold and currency (about £12.000.) In their baste they
wholly overlooked the money and securities of the
special depositors of the bank, which lay in the vaults
to the valueof many hundred thousands of dollara. It
was not until three hours after the robbery had been
committed that any knowledge of the facts was ob-
tained by persons without. At eight p.m. a clerk at
the bank, whoa* habit it was to sleep in the building,
entered the hall, and finding the gas turned down, con-
trary to the usual custom, and the Willi,' open, speedily
sought the private dwelling of the cashier, to notify
him that something bad gone amiss, and heariiig that
the cashier had not returned to his home, speedily went
back to the bank, and. searching the building with the
assistance of two policemen, found he officer in a state
of insensibility on the staircase, where the ribber. had
thrown him. After having been carried home and re-
covering his corseionsnets, he narrated the ciloom-
stances of the assault and pillage. but no clue could be
obtained as to the perpetrator., and the matter yet re-
mains • mystery. At the hour of the day when the
crime was committed hundreds of persons were walk-
ing up and down the pavement out.ide.

DEATH OF TEIE HON. MISS LOUISA PORTILA N.

No event since the death of Lady Portman
hu canted a deeper feeling of regret in the town and
neighbourhood of Blendford, than that which was on
Friday lest communicated by telelraph to Bryanston
House—the death of Mies Louisa Portman, second
daughter of Lord Portman. This yoong lady, whose
while lite from childhood was directed to the toalt of
doing good, and of whom it may be sail " When the
eye stw it then it blessed her, ' was we understand one
of the guests at Her Majesty's Garden Party at Windsor,
and the day being wet, it is eupposed she caught a
chilL This brought on low fever, which in the tour..
of • few days turned to gastric fever, a disease which
hte proet fatal to so many of the nobility. Misa
Portman lingered for a few days, fear and hope alter.
flitting in the minds of those by whom she was so
much beloved, but the malady proved fatal, and
she died at her father's town residenoe on Thursday
night, surrounded by the members of her family. Our
readers mill, we are sure deeply sympathise with his
lordship and the family in their trial, and to many •
poor woman and child the intelligence will fail as a
dark •hade over their lives. Like Dorcas of old alit
estimable and happy•eountenanoed young lady prepared
an immense quantity of clothing for the poor women
and children residing in BryanstOn-street, and other
parts of the town of Blandford, awl the villages round.
She took very grett interest in the Ragged School, and
in all matters connected with the spiritual, moral, and
t-mporal welfare of the tenants on the Bryanaton estate.
The tradesmen of the town, as soon as the mournful
intelligence became loos n partially cloud their shutters,
and the band, which had been announced to perform
on Fri illy evening, refrained from doing so. The Bev.
J. It. Quirk, in his sermon on Sonday morning alluded
in • suitable manner to the loss sustsined by the poor,
and eaprcoally the blind, by Miss Poi tuian's death,
selecting as his text the words, "I die daily."

' A HIPPOPOTAMUS AT LARGE.

In consequence of the long drought it has become
necessary tis allow the hippopotamus at the Jardin des
Planter, Paris. to bathe every day in the Seine. A oar
drawn by two horses conducts the amphibious beast to
the tiver bank, and with a strong chain attiched to his
neck he is allowed to enjoy his pastime. On Thursday
the hippopotamus broke one of the rings of his chain
and gained his liberty, frightening all the bathers in the
vicinity, who hurried back to the shore. The playful
African then payed a visit to a passenger steamer which
was just starting, and whose crew received him with
loud shouts, but without taking notice of them be left
the steamer and went toe small washing-berg., whieh
he lilted up and shook, to the great terror of the
wiimen on board. Me finished his "promenade" by an
excursion to the "Etabbasement de Bain." at the

in seizing the end of the chain, which was made fast to

LYTC H err.

Rcurroay.—Dr A. P. Hernilton reported to the Board
of Guardians at their last meeting, that there has been
no fresh case of soulatina since the 14th of May last.
Up to that time 14 cues ocourred in the early part of
the quarter ending the 24th Jane. Four deaths took
plane. out of threw 14 cane, the last death being on the
17th June, from dropsy of heart and *hest As a rule
thus cues or groups of Games have for the most part
been widely separated from each other, as much alone,
two, or three miles apart. The whole of the survivors
are now recovered, and doing as well as can be. Con-
neeted with the outbreak of scarlatina is the fact of the
pork fishpond at South Lytcheitt Howie having been
cleaned out last autumn, and the alluvium deposited
on the banks and left there the whole winter and spring,
in aloes proximity to the public road, and not two gun-
shots from the parish school. Here we must have had
a large supply of animal and vegetable decomposition
going on favourably under the shadow of high tries,
affuding according to some authorities the very malaria
which scarlatina and other febrile diseases are said to
arise from. All the oases of scarlatina grouped them-
selves around this pond an a common centre, radiating
entirely along the low lands of Lytchett Minster, not

POISONOUS 8 w SETS.

Dr: Muter. who is sctively pursuing his researches
Into the adulteration of articles of ordinary amino p-
lion, describes for our benefit some additional umnles
of "finest new season's Kahn,. tea." One precious
temple contained more than 37 per cent- of mineral
matter, chiefly iron filing. ; sod another so-dried tea
I , straw, fra.menta of mewing, rice husks and
willow leaves. Having done so much to alarm the
serious who f.el themselves so much refreshed after •
nice rip of tea, Dr. Muter, in the Food Journal, turns
bin attention to sweet-stuff, and having purchased 105
samples at different shops, and analysed them, tells us
that lead chromate, red lead, vermillion (preparation of
merenr7). nopp.r, cobalt and arsenic are u-eri to colour
and flavour the delicious halfpennyworths. Peppermint
drops arid barley-sugar the Doctor found to b 0 unadul-
terated, but motto lounges, "hundreds of thouunda,"
mixed 'wrote, @west marbles, ginger losenges, yellow
almonds and some other "goodies" were extensively
adulterated with mineral poisons. He describes the
results of eating them from actual experience. The
child showed all the symptomu of what is known as
painter's colic. Then paralysis Caine on, the bands
banging "like inanimate masses of fl-sh at right angles
to tins arm.," and "• miserable death soon followed."
Many ctuldreit, says the Doctor, "are at this moment
suffering the torments of the colic in London, and
having their cries stilled by gifts, on the part of their
tender, though foolish mothers, of the very matter
which is ruining their health and embittering what
should be the happiest portion of their existence.
