of every conceivable wild dower and fruit, must have

One peculiar feature of this show of vegetables was, that

followed by an address train the Rector on horticultural,

fields and scatter," (from hymns ancient and modern) was
sung, and then, after a nicely sung grace, al children
belonging to the village school, consumed an amount of
tea, cake, and bread and lain only conceivable by those
who may have witnessed similar feats. The juniors, how-
ever, were not the only ones who played a part at this
stage of the proceedings, for tea and cake on a more
moderate scale appeared to be by no means unacceptable
to the elders, among whom, as visitors and helpers in the

Thursday evening Joseph Critchell, a working man
met with an accident on the railway. Prom his own
statement it appears that he was walking up the line
from his work at Weymouth, in order to save time,
and the wind being rough his hat seemed about to
blow off. He lifted his right hand to save the hat, and
at that moment a train wax passing, Chritchell lost his
balance, and fell either under.or against the train, and
a couple of his fingers of the right hand were crushed
off. In falling he also received a small wound on the
forehead. The unfortunate man was taken to
Dr. Pridham's who amputated the crushed parts, and
then Critchell was brought on to the Dorset County
Hospital, where he is doing well.

Prosecutor said he was in Mrs. Bud:lan's house in
Dennett's-lane about a quarter-past 11 on the previous
night He opened the door and went outside, and Tyrell
stabbed him on the nose. This was without any provo-
cation. Ile could identify Ivory as having been there.—
Louisa Mabey stated that whilst she was in Mrs. Budden's
house on the previous night some men knocked at the

those ta the house, and on prosecutor asking them what
they *'anted 1 yrell said, "Come • little way down the
lane, and I'll tell you what we want." The prisoner

THE HELL GATE EXPLOSION.

The New York journals of the 25th, landed at Cork
on Thursday, bring_detaile of the Mowing up of
Ihrlett'a reel in the Hell Gate the previous day. The
weather was wet sad stormy, but it is calculated that
00,,,,,,m6 of 900,000 portions assembled to witness the
explosion. The battery was fired by General Newton's
little daughter, a child four years .ad, whe was put up
upon two empty cartridge boxes to enable her to
reach the nob of the instrument. The Herald thus
describes the result An immense white mass of
foaming water bounds fifty feet toward the sky in a
second of time from above the reef; vaporous jets
ascend through it like ribs of steam, while a dull
rumbling boom, deep mouthed and sepulchral, filled
the air, and a slight vibration shakos the solid earth.
Suddenly, shooting above the white vaporous Wads,
towers for an instant a dense column of black water,
with a horrid crest of shivered beams and splintered
rock. The beautiful Is overshadowed by the terrible.
In an instant the waters full of trouble find their
level again, and a low yellow wave rolls out in a
semi-circle from the shattered reef to the shores
beyond, the first that ever rolled in presage of an open
seaway for the mariner from the jagged roof of Hen
dote. A greenish yellow smoke with a pungent
odour hangs above the yellow waters. Though the
root of gneiss rock, ien feet thick, and the 172 rock
columns under the roof were smaahed to fragments,
there was not enough surplus power to upeet an old
woman's tea cupboard within 2M yards of the blast.
The steamers stationed north of the blast pick their
way through the floating debris of the crib of the
coffer dam, as it says, with
.the waters, and among the
small boats that are swarnnug from all points to pick
up dead fish, of which there are is few, and floating
timber, of which there is plenty ; some for furtive
rzfits, others for mho+. 'rime amid the eager watch-
