closely scratinised, and it was thought that the pay-
ments, in seam of sickness undo. the deaths of members,
were too great in proportion to the weekly subscriptions.
The leading men a the Order feared that unless some-

and tables were then calculated ia order to establish the

regarded in i vary serious light, for it was thought that
the straggle would came the society to collapse; and,
In fact, the shook was so great that it shook the whole

every preeantinn taken against it. The Inspector
should be peremptory in every cane of nuisance, the
surgeons' reports, for which so much money had been

then be undeserving of the reproaches now 014 upon

Tim CONDITION OF LiGINIOULTONAL LaI&OURS/11
On Monday two meetings were held at the OdeHallows'
pioleseedly with • view to promote the welfare of
the agricultural labourer. They were seemed by Mr.
J. Gallop, of Holt, labourer, end the prieeipal weaker
was Mr. Fry, who ammed to intimate that he had formerly
been a labot;rer, but of late years had acted as a sort of
tnimionary in the agricultural dial:riots of various eons,
ties. The attendance in the afternoon was very
The burden of the speaking was the poverty, ignorance,
and degradation of agricultural labourers in Dorset,
and the panacea propooed forth.., evils was more wages
Tut-erork was stoutly deer sited, and the only praMeal
conclusion arrived at, eis far as we mild gather, was the
smolt* of Mr. Gallep. '' to work for nobody for lON
than two-shillings a day I" The moditiou of the agri-
cultural labourer is coufeemelly such as all would like
to see ameliorated; the only questioo is how shall it be
effected? Not, surely, by abolishing tut-work, fa,
what would f0i1,.? The incompetent idle labourer
would be pad the mime rate of warm is the goof,
emulation would be devourer, (though that is all too
feebly manifirded et pffeent end the standard of skill
and efficiency would be kept en ; neither, it is equally
true, by rmolving not to work at lees than •
sertain rate of wages, for the payment of agricultural.
as of all other labour, is regulated by the demand for it.
How then shell the labourer rise By skill, Industry,
sad taking his labour to the beet market. He is • free
mein, and with the blessings of liberty, most take its
responsibilities If • man is nick Hal or slothful his
service will be little mined anywhere; while, if he be
efficient at his labour, whatever that may be, to get the
I highest remuneration he must go where it is most
required. Wages are higher in the North of Ragland
than they are in the South, bemuse there it le in-
creasingly called for in manufacturing and wieffeatile
Industry. From a volume published some years ago,
written by J. Curd, Req., the MKS Commissioner
on lingliab agriculture, we learn that "in the
I northern esinnties the labourers are enabled to
feed and clothe themeless with reepectability
and comfort, while in some of the modern
I mintlee their wasee are insufficient for their
healthy existence. Bat the agricultural labourer in the
southern counties, while he derives from his labour the
means of a very scanty sentence, is almost everywhere
felt as • burden instead of a benefit to his employer."
Let the labourers of Dorset oarefally consider these
things, and they will woolede that their condition Is
not to be improved by emidemning their emoloyenh
nor by foolishly endeavouring to hi the rate of wages
they shall be pall—F,
