could, to fit Mary's church. I am strongly in hope
that the "shock to true Christianity in Weymouth"
exists only in the imagination of those who dont
know enough of the actual work done, say, for instance
In the schools to which Mr. Grieves lends • helping
hand. As to the idea of certain gentlemen being
" satellites" of the Rector, I should fancy I was getting
very soft and vary green if such • notion entered my
head. As it is now, not all the ITs between this and
the Ferry-bridge could be sufficient for my hearty
hnha's at the blander or the joke.

Nine pounds demeans of the National School Funds,
and three pounds from the Infant Schools, with money
wanted at Christchurch, is a commentary on the bed
times, and the density of them ratepayers who would
like to escape rates and voluntary contributions too.

—iVitit a rating of another kind the lively and
independent parish gave its outgoing overseers on
Easter Monday I gloried in the spirit of Messrs.
Lowman and Allen facing out the parochial dorm,
and perhaps the pariah, unanimous as it wee then,
may awake to a sense of the importance of bearing
both sides all through. It mud be gratifying to Mr.
Macdonald, the present surveyor of taxes, to learn
that he is considered a "very nice sort of man"—
rather a new testimonial to one of those over-criticised
gentry, of whom Mr. Mallandaim was long the
representative about here. And if Mr. Macdonald
can rectify the property tax assessment so as to plasm
all he will be a phenomenon qualified to retire, and
live in puce and harmony even in the crom-biscidt pariah
of West ChickereL Without wishing to take sides In
the parish quarrel, I may hint that it is not all plain-
sailing before the Rector and the new Overseer. -I+.st I
do hope that at future vestry meetings, signs of the
consecration of the church may be more visible, and of
the county police a good deal leas. Chickerel wants
an unconsecrated meeting-place, where they may
flourish the minute-book to their heart.' content;

Six hundred pounds in one year lea good deal to be
contributed at a chapel-of-ease. Christ Church is
certainly accommodating a good large congregation,
and if the receipt* are nearly two-thirds as =eh as at
SC Mary's, it allows the new " chapel " Ii a vigorous
daughter of the parish church.
The whole correspondence respectitg the Collegiate
School if sir is, I hear, being copied Ins schoolmasterly
manner, and to be submitted to twelve respectable
inhabitants, with the Mayor as president. These
geutiemen are to be selected with • view to their
impartiality and general confidence in them, and they
are to decide who is right and who wrong. If this be
agreed to by the Collegiate School trustees, it will
show that they are not determined to be arbitrary in
dealing with their own, but that they recognise the
fact that all ours is lent us on trust.
