It will ante be seen that the first pulse of 110 was
won by Private Roger., of the Illandforil troop with 21;
and the second prise of CS by Private Legg, of the Mel-
bury tioop, with 19 marks. For the third and fourth
prises, there were three ties. Private Atkinson (Dor-
chester). Corporal Dominy (Blandford), and Private
Barris (Vale), each having road* 17 marks. In shooting
off thu ties Private Atkinson mired the target, whilst
Corporal Itoniiny and Private Harris each made ties
twice following, but in the last trial Corporal Dominy
made • bull's-eye 4, whilst Private Harris made • orates
3. The former, therefore, Ciok the third prise. £3, and
the latter the fourth, £2. It will be seen from the
above score that the shooting of the Yeomanry was very
infenur to that of the Riflemen; but this is to be ac-
counted for by the inferior weapon which they
and which can rarely be rebuul upon for aoctresrea
situ.

PDX WELL —Almon. —On Saturday morning,
about half-past four, a hayrick belonging to Mr.
Richard Andrews was discovered to be on fire by
Edwin Thatcher, who immediately gave an alarm,
and with the assistance of others succeeded in saving
some portion of the rick. Suspicion having fallen
on two tramps, information wu circulated by Mr.
Superintendent Underwood, through which they
were apprehended on Saturday evening at Wyke
Regis by Sergeant Pitfield and P.C. Job Dewland ;
and when charged with the offence, admitted it,
giving as a reason that the farmer would not relieve
them when applied to. On Wednesday, at the
Shirehall, Dorchester' before H. Williams, Esq.,
two tramps, named John Newman and Thome'
Kerr. the former of whom said he came from Lambeth,
and the latter from Armagh, Ireland, were brought
up in custody charged with setting fire to a haynck
on Saturday at l'oxsell, the property of Mr.
Andrews—Edwin Hatcher said he worked for Mr.
Andrews. He saw the hayrick on fire about half-
put four o'clock in the morning. He called prose-
odor, and they went to the tick together. It was
on fire all round 'besides as well as the ton. Did not
know how the fire took place. —Hannah Wilmington,
who said she lived at Pozwell, proved seeing prisoners
passby her bowmen Friday, and on Saturday morning,
about half-past four, she saw them again.—Sergeant
Pitfield stated, that from information he re.
calved on Saturday night, be with P.C. Dewland,
apprehended the prisoners at Wyke Regis, on
the charge of setting fire to a hay nick at
Penwell. Kerr said "you are right, we did it. We
set fire to the rick this morning about four o'clock."
Newman also acknowledged the offence, saying " the
old farmer would not give us no "check" nor no
food, 40 we thought we woald give him a good turn."
Witness cautioned them, when Kerr said, "we slept
under the rick all night, and when we woke up in the
morning, shivering with cold we set fire to the
rick and had • good warming."— Newman said "I
am tired of this life, after seeing what I have, and I
want to get four years." Witness searched Kerr
and found on him • pipe, witches, and an awl.
Newman had a pipe and knife,—Prisoners were
committed for trial at the Assizes

The ?00l targets were not much patronised on
either day. The shooting was at 200 yarda
Amongst those who were fortunate enough to make
bull's eyes were &sign Atkinaon, (11th) three,

of Moreton Hones, and punctually at 12 o'clock,
Kennett threw his pack in between the wickets and
immediately they began to work beautifully—par.
ticularly a fine well-grown young 'tin of (we believe)
this season's entry, who drew the applause of the
whole field by the floe way he settled down to his
work, not even allowing any of the older ones to
get a-head of him, at the same time being per.
featly void of jealously. After about two
home bud work, we observed Kennett
taking up his position at a small wicket,
where be could perfectly see his whole pack work in
the open without working his old " mare ' too hard
which was very oonsiderate, as we believe it was
an old mount/root Mr. " Skanks."

We must not omit to mention some of those fine
bipeds that have been bred, brought op, and some

broken in, and we are proud to say be is a good
supporter of the noble sport.
Admiring reader! Sean the following, and you
will see what the Moreton bred 'tins did! how they
worked, and what they endured.

t.s Blandford corps and a like number of the Poole
came off at the butte, on the Down. at &landlord. As
will be seen by the score the shooting, at the 200 yards
range. was very good, and the Blaadford gentlemen
headed their opponents by 2, but at the next range
(800 yards) they fell off by 19. At the 600 yards
the Blandford geotlemen made much better practice
and folly retrieved their ground, the numbere being
B/andford 89, Poole 70—boating their opponents by
2 points. The highest score of the day (49) was
made by Sergeant Hayman, of the Poole corm
closely followed by Private Hawke. (46). A sweep-

LOCAL Gorzeitergarr Act—The adoption by
resolution of the Local Government Act for this
town has born petitioned. against. It appears that
Lord Portman and a few of the farmers interested in
the lands which will beco no subject to any extra
imposition of taxation incurred in practically carry-
ing out the Act, have reasonably enough petitioned
for the withdrawal of such lands from the operation
f the measure. The inhabitants who appear to be
unanimous in their with as it respects the adoption
of the Act, appear to be no less unanimous as to
the desirability of in,_•cting the wish of hord Portal in
and the other Imetition2rs so for as reganle the
withdrawal of such lands. The only difference
appears to be that the petitioners pray for • twelve-
month's delay before practically enforcing the pro-
visions of the law, to this the ratepayer' demur
reasonably enough, urging that subject to each a
delay their principal streets must remain unrepaired,
their gutters onibudied, their pavement unruended,
and at present worse than all the prospective evils,
their dusty streets must be unwatored, except
private subscriptions should do more in parochial
matters than they have ever done before—take the
place of a collected rate. It is enpposed that all
differences will be arranged before the Govern-
ment Inspector comes down on the 10th of August
next, previous to which time a copy of the petition
laid before the Secretary of State,and an outline map
of the parish may be inspected at Mr. Fincham's, the
parish lawyer.
NiCtOCAL TRZAT. —Oft Wednesday evening we
were again favoured with • choice selection of mussy
performed in first-rate style by Mr. Eyer's celebrated
band. We need hardly say that very many gathered
round the musicians,and listened with almost breath-
-Ices attention to the soul-atirring strains which they
poured forth. Among the pieces played was that
chosen for trial at the brass band contest at the
Crystal Rases on Tuesday lasknamely,a grand selec-
tion from Verdi's Opera "Lt Fora; Destine." They
also played a grand selection from Meyerbeer's Opera
"La Prophete," chosen by the bandmaster—Mr.
Mr. Eyer• Certainly if Blandford has cause to be
proud of anything it is its band, and we would fain
hope that greater support will be awarded to it, so
that the prestige it has obtained will not be lost for
want of funds.
A GHOST ! A Guoar !—Some of our reader"
will remember that about throe months ago •
married female residing in East-street, near the rail-
way arch, when about to leave her home for a
journey was most ridiculously insulted by a group
of boys being employed to beat pots, kettles, he.
It is reported for a fret that the instigators of this
gipsy band were one night last week dreadfully
alarmed. It appears that as the lodger, we will
not say landlord, was about to close the window of
the attic, from whence the forty pounds of diaper
and other drapery was said to have been stolen (!)
something came and seized him behind, and almost
dragged him backward. This, with rumbling noises
and "creams, so frightened him and the female
inmates of the house that they were obliged to run
for some of their relations or acquaintances to pass
off • sleepless and distreseing night caused by the
visit of the unwelcome Draper Ghost.

801161121 ET AND DORSET C RAILWAY.-
This line is soon to be opened, the various works
having been nearly brought to a finish. We ate re-
liably informed the Wimborne and worked end of
the line, is, after the opening. to be worked by the
Somerset and Dorset Company, instead of, as now,
by the South-Western. The last bridge out of the
forty spanning the line at different intervals, is just
completed, and from personal inspection, we are
led to cowhide the opening cannot be delayed
beyond the ensiling mouth. The opinion seems to
be universal, that it will open up the finest menery
to be viewed in Dorsetshire, or any one of the
southern counties, and the work of the contractors
is the subject of great praise.
A NICI Urn.' FAmlLY.—Close by the side of
the iron bridge erected over the Somerset and
Dorset Central Railway, at Okelleld, stands an iron
stable, used for the contractor's horses. In it was
also placed a %null quantity of straw, about two
este, and as it was generally believed that a large
number of rats had made this their habitation, it
was determined, so as to avoid the unpleasant con.
sequences likely to arise to the neighbourhood when
the stable was removed, to endeavour to destroy
them. Accordingly three of our townsmen, acoom.
panied by three dogs, lately paid the place a visit,
and in the almost incrediiile spa°e of haltan•hour,
simeiveded in destroying 73 of the vermin—a good
riddance, we should imagine, to the neighbourhood.
BLANDFORD ST. MARY.—On Monday, a
farm labourer named James klarter, raiding at
Compton Abbas, in the employ of the Rev. A.
Mutable, of Fontmell Magna, went to the South.
Western Station for a load of guano, and while
sitting on one of the bags, he w.s struck down by
a sun-stroke. As soon as possible medical assistance
was procured, and he was ultimately conveyed to
the tnion.honse, where the necessary remedies were
applied, which, we are glad to state, partially re•
st.ced him.

CHRISTCHURCH.—Ftag.—On Monday, whilst
the oonoert in connection with the Temperance
Society was pmoeeding which we understand pared
off admirably, a fire broke out on the premises of Mr.
Walden, baker, /to., which we are sorry to say
resulted in the total destruction of his dwelling.
hones. The fire was first observed by • female who
was pealing, and at that time smoke could only be
seen issuing from the roof —• thatched one. She
immediately informed the police, who speedily
raised an alarm, and in a short space of time those
attending the concert, and the company attending
Sanger's circus were quickly on the spot Fortu-
nately the new portion of the premises, composed
of brick with slated roof, withstood the violence of
the flames. Mr. Walden, we regret to state, has
lost—besides his household furniture and a large
portion of wearing apparel, .C 35 in notes and £7
in gold. We understand that the premises are
insured. The orign of the fire is only • matter of
conjecture. It is supposed that • spark from a
chimney adjoining must during the day have
fallen into a portion of the thatched roof
which finned a gutter near the new part of
the building, and as the thatch wee old it
smouldered for • considerable time, as no fire had
been lit in the furnace after the afternoon.
Great sympathy is expressed for Mr. Walden, who
is much respected by his fellow townsmcm.
