Ai=DinTil THIOO4III THI lOL—On Monday morning
the ',mimes. between Blaadford and Ben Regis had •
somewhat narrow ethape. The horse he was drivi,
in consequenee of the slippery Ante of the roads, sed-
ately fell down wten rosin; through Blandford
Marv, and the postman, J. Jeans, we. thrown out of
his trap, fortunately without sustaining any seriona
Injury. The malls were in oonsequeoce delayed a short
time. On the evening of the mune day, as Mrs. Ritchie
and her foray wore returning from Blandford to
Henbury, whilst going down Littleton Hill, both of the
carriage hones slipped and fell with such force as to
throw the driver off his box on to the "latrine between
the two hones. The front of the carriage was eon.
siderably broken, but the occupants, we are happy to
state. sustained no further injury than by fright, and
the driver was but little injured.
CourrY COURT.—This court for the Blandford
district was held on Mooday. There were 55 oases
entered, but only 20 were beard. Of these following
were disputed Wilkinson and Co., of Poole,
agricultural implement manufacturers, v. John Godwin
of Blandford, yeoman. This claim was for £lB 9s. 3d.
for the Karatz grist mill, with Intermediate motion,
pulley, and belting. Mr. Atidason conducted plaintiff's
caw and Miners. Finals= and Bellyse defended. The
parasites were admitted, but in defence it woe pleaded
that the mill was not according to order, as itwaa
required, togrind six bushels of wheat per hour, whereas
It would only grind out. Defendant alth objected to
the eherfdoera the intermediate motion, for which
plaintiff him £6 l2s. 64., and the agreement was
that it eh cost only Ki. 10s. A verylarge number of
letters were put in up evidence, from which and from
the evideneeproduced for the defence, it appeared that
the mill did not answer the requirementa of the order,
sad the judge decided on reducing the amount 'kluged
for it by P. 5, he also struck off £22.. 64. from the *barge

STALBRIDGE AGRICTILTUB.AL SOCIETY.
The annual show and dinner of this society took plass
on Monday, under the most favourable oircuoistaness.
The Ishow was • very excellent cos, almost all claims
being well filled, and in many of them the competition
ran very aloe., and the lades bald some difficulty in
making their awards. On amount of the bad suite of
the Lula, several persons who had entered stook were
unable to bring up their cattle in time. There wen a
large attendance of agrieulturists and dealers, and some
good stook shown in the public market. The judges
were--litook : Mr. J. C. Foal, Ceenei_ Mr. W.

The Chairman proposed "The health of bar Majesty
the Queen"—(applanse).
The Chairman said the next bashiess was to award the
premiums for long and faithful service, and this was •
duty which he felt greet pleasure in carrying out.
Tim labourers then came forward and each was pre-
sented with a oubliette of character, neatly framed, ,

position, and if he fulfilled those duties in • straight-
forward and upright manner, be was justly entitled to
the *deem, and the servant who faithfully did his duty
to his master ought to be eacouraged and stimulated to
perseverance. It was well understood that the premiums
and certificates given by this moiety sere not intended
to be looked upon aa a reward, or ea in soy way as an
equivalent for those genius, but they were given to
show that faithful service was appresiated by the
members of the Stalbridp society, sad es an incentive
to others to follow in the lame noble path of consistent
upright duty—(loud applause).
The Chairmen thou gave "The Prince and Princess of
Wales, and the rest et the Royal Femily"—(
_sophism).
The Chairman next gave"no Army, the Navy, the
Militia, the Yeomanry Cavalry, and the Rile Tobin-
tiers." As regarded the army and navy of this smeltery,
it did not require any words from him in their praise.
Throughout the amid the brewery and endurance of
privation and hardship by the army of this musky were
known and appreciated. With regard to the navy, as
he should call upon Lieutenant Teatime to respond for
them, he should not say much. The militia, he con-
sidered, was a very excellent force, and as Mill from
which the regular army was greatly recruited, be con-
sidered it 011111 well worthy of support. He should ask
Lieut.-Colonel Glossop to respond for thein—(obeere).

would be required, but of this he was sure that if ever
the time did come when they would be celled out, every
man belonging to them would be found at the post of
duty—(loud cheers)—and that the yeomanry and volun-
teers in case of any foreign Invasion would guard the
country with a girdle of iron hearts—(thesrs). With
the volunteers he would couple the name of Lieut.
Long, of the Stalbridge corps, and with the yeomanry,
Quartermaster Harris.
Lieut. Teatime. in responding, said he had great
pleasure in bearing his testimony to the efficiency of
the navy. He might mention, in proof, that though
they had exchanged their wooden walls for iron ones.
the sea-going qualities of the ironolad fieet had
undergone a very eatisfactory test, one of them having
lately gone to the East Indies, and very euecressfully
performed the voyage. He was sorry that the navy had
not been called into ureic* in the Abyssinian expedition,
for he was sure that if it bad, it would have fully main-
tained ito prestim—(cheers).
Lieut.-Colonel Glossop, who responded for the
militia, said he had been connected with that body for
24 years as one of the °Moen, and as a proof of their
value as being a nursery for the army, h. mentioned
that during the late wee no less than 700 men had
enlisted from his regiment into the line. He looked
upon the militia as • truly constitutional force, and one
which it would be very uneise of any Government to
turn their hook upon, and he further thought that it
should be maintained in all its efficiency—ialiceraL
Lieut. Long, of the 12th Dorset, in responding for
the Volunteers, said he begged so thank the chairman
and company on behalf of the volunteers of the county
and the Staltidge corps in. particular. He believed
their corps wu very good one, and it would be a great
deal better. He wished that they bad • better captain,
one who would come among them, and take his right
place at their drills. If that was to be the ease he
thought their corps would be second to none in the
county—(ebeers).
Quartermaster Harris, who responded for this
Yeomanry, said he had been connected with that body
27 yews. Onto in his life-time they were called out for
Naive serviee, some present would know upon what
occasion, and when the master-roll was called at 11
o'clock at night, there was not a man but whet was
present—(applause). In those times things were a
little queer. At one place they went to a grinding-
stone, and one of their number got upon the top,
and another man pitched them in —(load laughter). Al
the present time they were in want of a few recruits.
He did not wish them to speak up all at ODOS, hut to
give their names, and if they did join he hoped they
would continue in the form as long as he had done—
(cheers),
The Chairman said the next toast be had to propose
as w the "Bishop and Clew of the Diocese. . They
were very much privileged in that part of the diocese
In having as clergymen men who adorned the Melt
position in whicilithey were plead by the Providence of
God—who were earnest, melons, faithful, and self.
denying in the disabuse of their sacred calling. and
who by their holy and Hamden lives practically carried
out the doctrines which they taught—(loctd sheers).
On that occasion he had the pleasure of calling upon a
gentleman to respond, whom presence among them he
was most happy to have—the clergyman of the parish,
the Rev. Mr. Peronne—(loud applause).
The rev, gentleman, who was received with every
clerk of esteem, after thanking the chairman sad
company for the way the toast had been received, said
that when he reoeived the letter from the secretary of
the society asking him to become • member, and to
attend their dinner, he at ones made up his mind to
amply, for be wished to show thou among whom be
had by the Provident". of God been tolled to labour, that
he took • deep and hearty interest in all that related
not only to their spiritual but their temporal welfare,
end he also fat that by belonging to such • society and
coming among them, he should know more of their
feelings, end be better We to understand what they
felt an Interest in. It was therefore, with very greet
plume, that he came among them, and as he under-
stood the invitation to be made to him in his official
and not so much in his personal capacity, he the more
readily joined with them, to show that he considered it
was the duty and privilege of • Christian minister to
participate in those things in which his people took an
interest. The man who truthfully and conscientiously
discharged his duties, whatever those duties ware, was
the men who of all others deserved encouragement and
support. He had received great pleasure in looking
over the excellent show of monde which had been ex-
hibited ; and considered that such a society as theirs
was caleulated to do • great deal of good. Whilst the
premiums were being given to the labourers, he could
not bat help thinking that they ought not to limit the
amount of good effected by the awards of the society to
those only who were successful, but take into oonAdera-
lion the great stimulus which such awards gars to others
to follow in their footstep.. A great many would be
encouraged to go on in the path of honed exertion, so
that they too might become some day the recipients of
the same kind of enoouragetnent—(loud applause). The
rev, gentleman concluded by again thanking the
company for the kind way in which his health had been
received, and assured them it would ever be his most
anxious wish and care to assist in every object that
would tend to promote the welfare of those ereZ
n
whom be was milkd to labour—(loud mid long cont intheeringuann
The ea nett gave "The Lord Lieutenant and
