SNVANAGII.

WArea FAWINE AT LANGTON.—For some time past
the inhabitants of Langton have been nearly with,
water, the nearest well being at Coombe, nearly I}
miles distant from POMO of them, and such a large
number had been sepplied from there daily, and the
water was lowered so much, that it was nearly mud
that was drawn up, and had to be strained and pitched
before it could be used. What some of the laser
people would have done it is impossible to say, had
not Mr. Hutchings, of Swanage, hired the Local
Board water-cart and sent them some water from
Swanage, which was followed by the Local Board,
Mr. Edmunds, the Rev. Lester-Lester, and others. It
was a curious sight to MOO the people crowding in with
buckets, pitchers, cans, Itc., and we hope. for the
benefit .4 the poor in Langton, that throe kind gentle-
men will continue the geed work they have begun
until there is a sufficient supply.
Ssaious Amines-1% —On Monday afternoon a
serious accident happened in Swanage, fortunately
unattended with fatal results. A number of men in
the employ of Mr. T. Horlock were at work under
the cliff in the bay excavating some sand, when the
sand above them, several tons in weight, suddenly
gave way, and almost buried thaw who were under-
neath. Efforts were made as speedily as possible to
extricate the men, when it was found that two of
them named Thomas Trim and Henry Dyke had sus-
tained serious injuries, especially the former. NedicsJ
aid was at once sent for, and Dr. Wilmette soon
arrived on the spot. It WAN found that Trim's
injuries were of a very serious nature, his side being
very much injured, and he was immediately taken
home. Dyke was very much bruised about the face,
and he also was conveyed home. A cart that was
standing by at the time was knocked aluswt to pieces
by the sand falling on it. Both men are progressing
as favourably as can be expected.

PRISON DIET.

The Home (Mace Committee upon the dietaries of
thews prisons in England end Wales which are subject
to the Prisons Acts 1865 and 1877 have made their
report. It contains some curious statements ; one upon
the economy which would result to the public purse if
prisoners could be fed upon bacon and beans instead
of beef dawns* notice. The Committee are of opinion
that leguminous seeds, or pubes, should form •
prominent feature of prison diets. They have acted
upon this opinion in constructinx "the formula given
for the preparation of pea soup The pea, the haricot
bean, and the lentel posses. a very nutritive value;
"the food they supply 6 satisfying to the stomach
and, in • chemical and dietetic point of view, is closely
allied to the alimentary products supplied by meat."
The Committee suggests, "as a question for serious
consideration,' whether it may nut be advisable,
if meat should bureau, in price, to diminish the
outlay on that article by the partial substitution
of foods which are equally nutritive and far
lees costly. By way of Illustration, the Committee
have set out the cost of the beef dinner
on Mondays and Fridays for imprisoned men at hard
labour, and of the dinner which they have
as • substitute. This shows • saving of 2ertrtve
beaus and bacon, which would amount, for each
prisoner of the class in durance a whole year, to
Is. Bd. Then the beans and bsom dinner is, the
Coramittee aver, superior in nutritive value to the beef
dinner. They think it needless to point out that 21d.
" muiiplied many thousands of times every week or
fortnight, would represent a very large saving in the
course of twelve mouths."

CONSTA.NCE KENT.

Mr. Ituckeil's intereedng anil scarcely premature
disclosure of the motive of the Road murder has
raised a question as to where Constance Kent is at the
present time. A few months ego, when visiting the
prison at Woking, I noticed at the end of a row
of prisoners • heavy looking woman, who differed from
her fellows inasmuch as she seemed devoid of
curiosity. Whil.t the others eagerly regarded the
visitor trom the outside world. this pa-ticular woman
went on sullenly knitting, appearing anxious chi
to avoid observation. Attracted by her demeanour,
I inquired who she was, and learnet that this was
Constance Kent. I was also informed that she gave
the merit, more trouble than any other two
prisoners. She hail more than once tried to escape,
and at the time of my visit was undergoing special
punishment having Just been detected in carrying on a
clandestine correspondence, which she had arranged
with great cunning, and was persisting 111 with
singular determination. —Meefair.

THE PAST HUNTING SEASON.

Although from the majority of the reports from the
various countries we learn that the sport was above the
average, here and there the scarcity of foxes or dryness of
weather interfered sadly with hunting. and. Werge still in
one or two counties, foxes were found trapped and
poisoned. However, it is satisfactory to Pe that the
number of packs which report "no blank days' far out-
number those who have bad to complain of scarcity of
foxes. In fact, the poet* report is " good season, foxes
plentiful. and scent good," whilst now and then, as in the
ease of L Coventry's, the Crawley and Horsham, Vale
of White Horse, /sr, it It "the heel meson we ever het*
It may be remembered that the Duke of Beanforre

In answer to queMions of Mr. Alderman Teowas,
The Maros said the plans and specifications were
mint off the same night as they were agreed to. to the
Surveyor of the Great Western; but be appeared not
to have sufficiently examined them, for they had not
been returned. No communication had yet been
received [tom Mr. Crimson as to when the traffic
would be opened as there had been a difficulty about
the place of landing at Cherbourg.
Mr. THOMAS : short no definite arrangements
between the Government and companies have been
made?

The MATOI said the arrangements between the
companies and the Government were quite as definite
as those with the Weymouth Council; but there was
a difficulty as to the laading-plaoe—a local objection.
Mr. Alderman Monis said Cherbourg is a tidal
harbour, and he laughed at what had been said—that
Cherbourg and We3-mouth were both non-tidal
harbours.

.TAI PLATTOUL.

Mr. Lovett calledaiteTntiOn to the plan for the
platform being on the level of the Quay, which was
objected to by Mr. Wimble.
The MAYOR said Mr. Wimble would not pay for the
staging, and all the Council's proceedings would be
governed by the fulfilment or otherwise of the pledges
which bad been given.
Mr. Alderman Tgousgs next referred to the dredg-
ing, and was told that Messrs. Leather had been
communicated with. Mr. Thomas continued that he
was indisposed to cast the burden of the dredging on
the ratepayers, or to apply to the Government Board
for a loan; he sugge,ted the repayment should be
spntad over ten years.
Mr. Alderman Mittitmx thought the land to be
filled up near the Gas Works should be let on lease,
and the expense would not fall en the ratepayers.
Mr. Alderman Tgouse had heard from Mr. Seaman
' that, instead of outing 2.. a yard, the material, by the
time it became solidified, would cost 6d. • year.
The MATOK'S mouth was partly closed at present ;
but he intimated that the repayment might be spread
over a term of years. A communication had been made
with the party he referred to; but he asked their
forbearance at present.
This relieved Mr. Tuou•s's and Mr. Roltaxm's
minds.
