BIANDFORD.
THE TOWN AND COUNTRY BALL, which took
place at the Assembly Rooms on Thursday last, was
attended by upwards of 130. The room WM very
tastefully decorated, end refreshments were in abund-
ance. The whole of the arrangements, under the
management of Mr. Byers, were admirably carried
out, and the performances of the Band was very much
admired. The ladies had everything their own way
this time, there being a large excess of gentlemen,
many of whom were exceedingly disappointed at
being often compelled to be inactive spectators. It
is hoped some of them will be less selfish next time,
and bring young ladies with them.
INDIA—Thu following is an extract from • letter
in Blackwood'e Magazine of this month. The young
gentleman referred to is a son of J. B. Daniell, Beg.
of this town

"July 14, 1887.
"Lieut. Daniell was about this time wounded severely
and obliged to retire, though the bravo young soldier wee
loath to do so, and endeavoured by attempting to
whistle to hide the agony he suffered. I have not yet
heard what tune he attempted. lam glad to be able to
add he is doing well."

WAREHAM.
REMOVAL OF NUIMANCIL—At the meeting of the
Nuisance Removal Committee, elected by e
rate-
yore, held at the Townhall, Wareham, Monday
(yesterday) a resolution was proposed and was car-
ried unanimously to the effect—That the Chairman
convey to John Halos Calcraft, Esq., M. P. for the
borough, and to Oliver William Ferrer, Fag., the
thanks of the Committee for their support at the last
Quarter Sessions of the interests of the town in con-
nection with the appointment of an Inspector of Nui-
sances • at the same time they express their strong
regret that by the decision of a majority of the
justices, given without any reasons assigned, they
should be now obliged to canoel the appointment of
Mr. &les as their inspector, especially as the 10th
section of the Act 18 and 19 Vic. cap. 121 shows
that in the eye ofthe legislature of the country,
useful and important duties of this kind very pro-
perly belong to officers of the constabulary force
who are kept on foot at the expense of the rate-
payers.
The Committee also determined on taking
measures to enable the object and nature of their
duties to be generally made known.
Mr. William Marshman, the relieving officer, was
appointed inspector in the stead of .Mr. Eeles,
subject to the approbation of the P ••• Law Board
and Board of Guardians.
