Tllr SUPvIvuaSHIP. —lt will he own by advertisement
that Mr. W. Norman, of Weymouth, is a candidate for the
Surveyorship. The appointment of strangers, however
well re...amended, not proving sati,factorv, argues in
favour of the selection, if possible, of a per, in of whom
th. Corporation have local knowledge. Mr. Norm sn's
testimonials are from gentlemen well known to the Town
Council, and we venture to think they will carry more
weight than those frorn nohisly-knows-who it g,ssiness-
knows.where. It is a very important thing to select an
officer with a general knowledge o the multifarious duties
to be performed, and we have confidence that the Council
will use their best endeavours to fix upon the best appli-
can t._ _

and addresses were given by two men—one belonging to
the town, and the other by a person said to lei "a coup

police, particularly in regard to the recent disturbance.,
and called for them to be cashiered and the county police
eiiiiMituted. A collection was also suggeMed for the
defence of the "infant," of the town from persecution !
Of course the whole proceedings werea farce, lint smirches

having sketchnl with his esual graphic and pictorial skill

the ram has fallen short of it, original purpiee and intent,
and how few men have really fulfilled their miseion on
the earth: how few men have been truly great. The
seed of Cain, who imbrued his hands in hi. brother's
blood, said the lecturer, had borne an ample harvest in
the world's battle field. The question of war was severely
handled and condemned, and its royal author., who have
figured largely in the page of history as it, true heroes
had their rightful place assigned to them as little
else than the splendid munlerern of their fellows
who,* deeds of courage have been enshrined in
the false glitter and tinsel of the spurioue panygeric of

were but the foul distortions of their own untutored

turned to other phanet of modern life and sketched with
rich wit and skill our modern pelitician who simply votes

before him was, and who meane to die sit such. If
queetioned as to his vote be simply remarks that he votes

it is enough for him to know that he votes with his party.
The difference between Liberal and Conservative never
disturbs him : it is enough for him to know that like his
father he is Conservative, and to express the hem,. that his
party will shear; remain in power. Individuality in
poetics or anything else is the last thing our modern
typical Coneervative would think of. Became, of such
unthinking nice the lecturer ;whited out how scheming
and clever politicians make such tuna stepping stone, to
personal ambition and power and how individual thought

by war, and expressed the hope that the day was not no

him. (the rector). to accept • little present from them, as
a alight expression of their jOVOII4 sympathy with the
happy event—his marritme—whieh had so recently taken
i4ece. The gift intrinsically AS of no gnat value, but
he felt sure that, if the rector knew the motives and
affectionate feelings which prompted the choir to otter it
to him, he would prize as much as the costliest treasure
Ice possesaed—(applattse). Mr. Morgan then begged his ,
acceptance of a handsome revolving butter cooler, on

tion :
•' Presented to the Res 11 Everett, SI A , by the choir of
Holy Trinity Church. Dorchester. on his marriage, October 13,
1975, as • token of their affectionate esteem."
The address accompanying it was signed by the
I organist and all the meruhers of the choir, anti ran thus:—

Dorchester.

and high esteem: and while we wish 300 every happiness, we
lway jou may long he Spired to enjoy the holy and blessed
ordinance of God, into which it ham been your pleasure t
alter."
The Rev. H. Evgitrrr in thanking the donors, replied
in a speech of some length, in which he said he was taken
Icy surprise ; and had he known the object a the meeting
would have brought Mrs. Everett with him. He had
certainly taken a most important step, but he was sure his
wife would be the means of doing a great deal of good in
the parish in many ways After referring tithe harmony
which had always existed, and he felt sure always would
exist between himself and the choir, awl thanking them
for their ...tarts' exertions in improving the church
singing which he knew was giving the highest satisfaction
throughout the parish, he spoke of the great pleasure it
affordel him to receive such a handsome and useful gift
ansl c ~,,, ing as he believed it did from them in the spirit
of genuine goodwill awl affs..tion, he should set the very
greatest value on It—threat applause).
The applause over—there was immediately au outbreak
of continued cheering for Mr. and Mrs. Everett, awl thus
this tuost pleasant meeting seas brought to a close.

mistresses, pupil teachers. and a number of the scholars

accompanied by his wife and sister.
Mr. Cooper, addre.ing the rector, offered him on behalf
of all present a hearty welcome home, and express.' the
pleasure it affonled M them all to have rs. Everett present.
He should like to have mentioned a few of the reasons
which bad led to his (the Rector's) being so thoroughly
endeared to every one connected with the schools, whether
as teachers or scholars, but in his presence he would refrain
from doing no. But he had the pleasing duty of reading
to him an address and of asking his acceptance of a slight
token of their affection and esteem for hint—(applause).
He read the following :-
