Sir. —A nons•osical remark ia &contemporary which
I. garrally in As right sows leads me to remark that
F..resters are banded for relief to thar members and
families in glances and to their representatives at
death, and for general brotherliness, in which the .tre.
going is by no means included. No promise can either
be given or impli-d that they shall give their
"patronage," and I cannot conceive how such an idea
could have got into print, except by amumption on the

PORTLAND
PORTLAND HORTICULTURAL SHOW.

This sh7w was held at the Drill Heil, Easton, on
Wednesday last, when the committee made every
preparation that deserved nooses ; but the weather
was unfavourable. Neer the entrance • very sub-
stantial mob had been erected, by assietatme kindly
lent by the Governor of A.M. Prison, EL Clifton, ;
It was about Hit. to 1511. high, and spanned the
to the field at the skis. Inside • very fine
passage
of flowers and vegetables was arranged, the
fhwer stages extending two-thirds the length of the
Drill Shed. Mr. Christopher occupied about a third
of one aide with • charming show of ferns, especially
maiden-hair, with 'agree of all sizes, very large to
exceedingly minute.
Among the flowers were—him enraton3, the Golden
Lily of Japan, and eucharis, • most delicate white one,
formed like a gigantic googol'. India-rubber plants,
ecotone, coleus, petunias, and fuchsias, made • pretty
show, and On the other side Mr. W. A. Attwooll had
another group, of which variegated *dew and petunia,
and Rogow begonia were notable. Mr. J. Moore
Bassett showed 4ne asters, and balsams, for which
Portlaud deserves special credit ; and then we come to
the separate exhibitors of four *nig each. whet sin we
were attracted again by the balsams , begonias, a fins
golden lily, and Mr. W. Attwooll'e large oleander in
full flower. On the other side was • peculiar small
white begonia, some fuchalas with beautifully coloured
levee, hydrangem, geraniums, gloxinias, some of the
geraniums being specially charming.
Out flowers made a very fair collection, with
variety, from roses to jelearnlne, and carnations, ginatl-
oll, pansies, stooks, asters, OW. Le., to mignonette,
Prettily arranged. Some oosired the show of cut
glowers better than bad been seen here for years.
Several varieties of Portland ferns, leoluding the
special native maiden-hair, which grows in the Weirs,
were remarkably interesting. The wild flowers made
1.5 very large sod weil.arraolted bouquets, coltaining
wonderful number of varieties, from acm PoPPY to

REOPENING OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC

CHAPSL.

The little church dedicated to the Virgin Mazy. the
temple of worship for the Roman Catholics of the town
end neighbourhood, was re-opened on Sao lay last. It
is but of small dimensions, able, perhaps, with a
squeeze to seat a couple of hundred, but it is sufficient
for the purposes required of it. It was built about 40
yeas ago, and was 'begat of the Doughty fatally, the
late Mr. Purden executing the work. liitherto, the
decorations of the interior have beeu of a very simple
character, but the Rev. Father Brown has gone
energetically to work, and with the monetary aid
afforded him by his flock has succeeded in defraying
the cost of a more elaborate ornamentation, and one
more in accordance with what one expects t 'see in the
ecclesiastical edificee of tbis church. The reredos at
the hack of the Altar is • blase of gold and c dour,

MAIDI NWTON.

GUY FAWKES DEMONSTRATION.

The good folks of Maiden Newton, folowing in the
wake of Dorchester and other towns in the matter of
a "0: re up," had their second grand seturnalia on
Saturday evening. The day was thus 'imaged to
allow of • visit to Dorchester on the following Monday.
Reciprocating this kindly feeling, • large detachment
of Dorchester guys went over to assist in the display
and to swell the procession. The demonstration was
on • much larger scale than lad year, and the little
town was attended by large numbers of pawns, both
from Dorchester and the surrounding villages. A
committo had been formed and contributions invited,
the result being that about £2O was sub.oribed. The
rector (Rev. M. }lankily) gave his hearty support to
the affas-, and we an glad to say his parishioners
did not shun his thud In them, for through.
out the best of order was maintained, and
although several of the county polio* under Sergeant
Hitch were in attendance, their service, were not
required, except to restrain the exuberance of some of
the youngethea Large numbers of persons from
Dorchester went by the 7.110 train, including many
picturesque guys, and moos after their arrival pro-
res commenced. The torchlight procession was
edZI on the Cattistook•road, and, headed by the
Maiden Newton brass band, raded the streets, to
the unbounded wonder and delight of the townspeople.
Some of the characters were well got up, and included
notorious military oelebrities such VI Arabi and Toni ba
Pasha, clowns, an sadism variety of" ladle'," niggers,
gallants from the Court, and Jumbo himself. A
huge gun, captured from Te?-el-Bebir, at least so
said the bills, was dragged in triumph in the
centre of the procession. After parading the
town, • move was made to the Rectory lawn and
here the scene was most attractive. The firework*
w,re very effective, including rockets, squibs,
Catherine wheels, and crackers innumerable. A
carious feature was the burning of an *May, which
operation took place on a floating raft on the stream
which runs through the rectory ground.. What
might have been • serious &salient unfortunately
occurred to one of the guy', who had a large number
of squibs on his pore m. By some means they ignited,
and be was in danger of being badly injured. Assist.
since, however, was promptly rendered, an I, although
hia clothes were extensively burnt, he did not sustain

granted by Mr. J. Trood. The site, though .mewhat
distont, wss an admirable one, being in full view of
the village, and the scene was very effective.
Good order was maintained thoughout, and by ten
o'clock the town had almost regained its ordina-y
quietude.
