YOIIIO AND DANCING 01 LIMO= PIIINISINI.

The Town Council of Hiddennineter wrote saing
the Cunene to support • petition to give magistrate'
pewee with regard to manic and dancing on licensed
premises.
Mr. A. Pops moved that the petition lie on the
l•ble.
Alderman Bathe enquired if the superintendent of
pates had ised any mmolaints.
Mr. Sept. Lloward revisal be bad received com-
plaints of ono house in the town during the time of a
tonne, tenant.
Dr. ALDILMGE said there was no doubt there was
eauch Irregularity and a great deal worse than that.
Therefor* he should feel inclined to support the
that power should be given to magistrates to
tarye eentrol over these houses.
Alderman °noon, thought the police already had
enflicient powers.
Mr. Ammon Lone: The magistrates have power to
refuge the license..
Dr. ALDMIXM : Only In cues of very grog' irregu-
tardy.
Kr. Amnia Loot seconded Mr. Pope's motion
that the petition lay on the table, because he thought
there was already eufficient power in the hands of the
magistrates in regard to the houses being conducted in
• proper manner.
Dr. M.Darocie moved as an amendment that the
petition be sealed with the Corporation meal, and for-
warded to the proper quarter.
Mr. W. DURO= seconded.
Mr. A. Pore thought the Act would interfere with
the freedom of the subject. 8o long as people amused
themselves in the liotheed homes in a proper manner
be did not think they ought to interfere with the
freedom of the sublet*. If there was any complaint
there wee ample means of preventing it In the granting
of ;be iiaellen.
,kanuDas : It is nothieg to do with the freedom
sq;%irot, hut rather is a promotion of public
morality.
Mr. Pop,: If thii le carried out, there must be no
music whatever. If • person plays • concertina for
five minutes, the landlord will be liable to lose his
license. The pollee 11111 be oi2lired to lodge • com-
plaint, whether it is a nuisance or not.

A severe gale blew daring the nights of Friday Lad
Saturday, and its effects in different parts of the
country sad on the ooaet were very disastrous. 'rho
heavy rains have also caused extensive floods that
have done much damage to property.
About six o'clock on Saturday morning the brig
MaruhnU, of Weymouth. from London to Middle.
b .rtigh, laden with scrap iron, struck in mid-channel
off Pakefield Gat, Lowestoft. The crew consisted of
six men. One of thrill, named John Scott, aged 44
wail washed from off the rigging. The five other, we,
saved by the Reeeingland lifeboat tot h great difficulty.
, The body of :-.cott ba I not been recovered by Suadsy ;
he leaven a wife and six sons and daughters.
Signs of distress were also seen from another vowel,
the Lowestoft brat went out, but could not iod a
vestige of the ship. She had evidently gooe down
with all bands.
The smart little Teresa, Captain Mobley, hos alio
been totally lost off Worthing, Sussex, the crew ail
escaping with their lives.
A sad acoiduit occurred on Saturday to • Minting
gentleman. The Bicester bounds met at Lower
Boddington, about six miles from Banbury. While
Mr. Roger., a hunting go *demise, who had taken up
his quarters for the season at Culworth, nine miles
from Banbury, was returning from the meet, he
appears to have got into the floods at Trafford Bridge,
• playa between Oulworth and Eigoote. The water
was of such • depth that Mr. Rogere's horse wall
unable to keep his feet, and both the man and the
bores were carried away and drowned. the body of
Mr. Rogers was recovered on Sunday morning. Ile

In regard to the Superannuation Fund belonging to

wrong as follow.:—" There is at present standing in
the Post-Aloe Savings Sank to the credit of this fund
£156 Bs. 24.. on which the interest is paid annually.
There is also in the Consols soother sum of
£133 I. 64., Me dividends on which are paid half-
yearly. The interest on the former amount (in the
Post-office Savings Bank) Is 24 per ant., and that on
the latter 8 per cent. I am about to make • farther
Investment In the Consols, and would It not be well
to withdraw (be money from the Poet-office Savings
Bank, and invest the whole in Console? Should the
Wetelt Committee be of such opinion be good enough
to obtain the necessary order.
Alderman Gamily: Are we bound to invest in
Consols?
The Asewurr-Tors CUM: I think you must
Invest in the funds.
Mr. A. H. Loon reminded them Consols are very
MO at the present time.
The Anateraer-Tows CLARK said Mr. Weston'.
object wee to have the whole in one investment, which
would be • saying of trouble.
Mr, A. Pore miggensid it should be invested so that
It should be easily got at at any time. It was very pro-
bable they would Invest at a loss if tbey bought at
101 and sold at 99.
On enqalry at the Bank it was found Consols are

Tea New Rattwar.—The contract for the exten.

In all probability the laud will be entered early this

stration attending the "cutting of the sot"

was attacked in Court by the man Rowland on the
previous dav,was brought up in custody, before J. M. P.
Montego, Esq., on Tuesday, charged with being drunk
and incapable on the previous night at Chideock.—
P.C. House proved the caise.—Pruoner said that in
"consequence of her being in Court" yesterday she
had some "drops" given her, but now she would sign
the pledge.—The magistrate said there were three
previous convictions for drunkenness and riot ; @he
would be now Sued 10.., with 8.. 63. costs, 14 days in
default--Allowed till 4 p.m. to pay the money.
A Pt7BLIO CACTION.—A County Magistrate has
drawn our attantie to the fact that during the present
slight prevalence of scarlet fever amongst children, the
aufferers are allowed to go out of doors whilst :n a
aami-convalea,vnt state and mix with their fellows.
This freedom should rit be exercised until perfect
recovery has taken place. as it is a well-known fact
that germs of the disease readily attach themselves to
the clothes and vowing of unaffected people, of ten
resulting in contagion and not unfrequently fatal
consequences. Moreover, many parents are probably
ignorant of their liability in this matter, as a heavy
fine can be imposed under the Contagions Diseases
Act.
Colrain's n FRIED Scsyss.—Mr. 11. B. Martin's
"freed slaves" gave excellent concert's of vocal music
at the Congregational School-rooms on Friday and
Saturday. The audiences were numerous, and
exhibited their thorough satisfaction with the pro-
gramme.and the pleasing manner in which its contents
were rendered. Mrs. Martin, who is considered • fair
type of "black beauty," is the owner of a • doe at once
sweet and powerful. and several gentlemen of the com-
pany are well-trained and efficient vocalists. The
music was sacred and secular. Mr. Martin gave brief
addresses descriptive of the slave era in America. The
whole of the voices blended beautifully and was of
that original character which can never fall to please.
On Sunday afternoon the party rendered some appro-
priate sacred music in the schoolroom, the attendance
being very numerous.
