Acting:cr.—Ephraim Ellaway, painter, in tho employ
of Mr. William Dalwissl, met with a sad accident on
Thursday morning. Ile was engaged in assisting to lay a
toililmtone on the Whittle vault in the churchyard, when,
by some mischance, the stone very heavy one—fell on
one of his feet, cutting the big tie, clean elf, and injuring
another one. He was at once taken to his home, on
Greenhill, where he lies, under the care of Mr. Edward
Turner, surgeon.
A GRAND CONCERT, under the conductorship of Mr.
Louis N. Parker, was given in the Town-ball, on Wodues-
day evening. The programme was gone through in
excellent style.
A LABOURER, named Sticiland, in the employ of Mr.
Whittle, was obliged to go into the horpital on Monday,
having sustained a fracture to the arm. It is feared he
will have to have that limb amputated.
Mnisuncs.—On Sunday last, morning and evening, two
excellent ger 1111 l ns were preached in the Wteleyan chapel
in this town, in aid of the Wesleyan Home and Foreign
Missions. The collections at both services amounted to
nearly .01. On Wednesday evening the annual public
meeting was held in the large schoolroom, and was
addressed by the circuit ministers and others. The lbw.
W. Galliene, expresident of the French cenference,
attended as • deputation, and expatiated on the work of
the society.
ACCIDENT.—It few days ago a labourer, named Alfred
Penney, in the employ of Mr. Cording, was taken into the
Teatinan Hospital, suffering from injuries to the thigh and
ankle, sustained by being crushed 'between the roadway
and hedge, and the wheel of a vehicle. It appeared that
the man had got up in the Madge in the Thornford-road to
allow two traps, one of which was endeavouring to precede
the other, to peas ; but just as they arrived opposite him,
they were side by side, and one of them drove right Into
the hedge, where Nutley was, knocking him down.
A SERVICE OF Sox° entitled" Immanuel,- with illustra-
tive and connective readings, watigiven by the choir of the
Wesleyan Chapel in that place o! worship on Monday
evening !eat. Mr. A. Dingley conducted the readings and
Mr. Arthur Hodges presided at the organ. During the
evening Mrs. Pooley sang a solo—" He shall feed His
flocks"—with much taste and feeling. The whole pro-
ceedings 'assist olf exceedingly well; and, us it was for
the benefit of the choir, we regret their service was not
I better patronised. It might be said that • great deal of
I painstaking has been manifested by the organist to bring
the choir to the state of efficiency in which it now is, and
much credit is slue tehini.

A seLL !—S.,tue individuals bent on having a lark

" just received by electric telegraph "—to the effect that
two of the Hutchins', who are charged with the murder
of P.C. Cox, had been caught at Southampton and would
pass through Sherborne by the N ll p.m. down train en
node to Yeovil. The rumour had its effect, and sonic
time hefore the time announced for the arrival of the
train a crowd of credulous persons gathered at the rail-
way Kt:lti./II " see the prisot. ers gm by." It need hardly
be said that their curioAty was not gratified when the
train arrived and brought a few of the tredesmen who
had been to Smithfield, who were not, a little surywhiel to
find such a crowd awaiting their arrival, and when the
matter wits explained to them they appeared to thoroughly
enjoy the joke. A number of persons believed, however,
that by sonic " misoelventure" the Hutchins' did net
arrive the previous evening and fuiseinbled at the railway
station several times during Satunlay to see whether they
might perchance "catch &glimpse-of theiu. Some of the
Sheriontians are very credulous, and if it would not
shock their conceptions of the truth we might he forgiven
for reminding them of the words of a great poet—
" And after all what is a lie I
'Tis limit the truth in masquerade."
