COUNTY CO ÜBT.

MONDAY.

(Before &daunt Tindal•Atkineon judge.)

- - J. E. Jenvey v. George Andrews.—The plaintiff
claimed from the defendant the sum of £2 14s. for the
rent ~f a cottage at Bourne Valley. Defendant was
formerly in the employ of the Rev. E. Bury, and it
appeared that the cottage was let to him hy Mr.
Waterfall, plaintiff's agent, at 6a. • week. In order
to suit defendant's convenience, however, Mr. Water-
fall agreed to take the rent once a quarter. At the end
of the first three months the quarter's rent was paid,
and defendant then stated he was going out in •
month, as his master, Mr. Bury, was leaving, and he
(defendant) was going away. Mr. Waterfall said he
did not think he should have any difficulty in letting
the house, and would do big best. Defendant put a
bill in the window, and, according to his statement,
three nighta before he left—at the end of the month—
someone called and looked over the cottage, telling him
they had taken it from Mr. Waterfall. The point now
in dispute was whether the tenancy was • weekly or
quarterly one,
_defendant asserting that, though for his
convenience, Mr. Waterfall agreed to accept payment
once a quarter, yet the tenancy was a weekly one. He
bad paid one month's rent, Li. 45., leaving in dispute
the rent for the other nine weeks, LI 14a.—His Honour
gave judgment for the plaintiff.
John Dale V. John Budden.—ln this caee the plain-

Majesty's High Court of Justice, and was sent by
order of • judge in chamber, to be tried in this court.
—Mr. if. f. Trevanion appeared for the plaintiff, and
Mr. W. H. Atkinson for the defendant.—Mr. Atkin-
son handed in a counter claim, amounting to £25, for
horse hire, and for terrines rendered.—Defendant was
examined and crow-examined as to the claim and
counterclaim, and at the suggestion of his Honour the
case was then adjourned to the next court, In order that
a jury might be summoned.

[From Funny Folks.]

• " BLOWING-UP" FOR Barra&

[By the Unitai Irishman.]

Ireland is the land of 'taturs, and Irish-America the
land of agi-tators. While the poetical Anna sounds the
(Par.
)knel I of British tyranny, the funeral of Pat-riotiam
Is also fed by that incendiary paper the United iris/tango.
By the way, how can one Irishman be "United "—unless
he has been "dreadfully cut up," and afterwards "pulled
himself together?" The iris/man wants "a little money
diverted to blowing-up the English House of Parliament"
—a diverting spectacle, truly One contributor sends "A
Widow's Mite ' —to be spent on dyne-mks ; another is
ready to " pawn his watch "—the pawn in question being
used to checkmate the hated Sasseenach. The Discon-
tents rejoice that there is already" no end of scares in
England," and "the Boys" are called upon to increase
these (s)cares as much as possible. Londoners must be
made to fear that the metropolis will some day become
" a heap of smouldering ruins" by a enchlen and tremen-
dous explosion, which would certainly be a terribly Um.
Mr. O'Donovan Rooth, who evidently encourages these
at-Rossa-ties, and himself speaks with great fe-Rossa-ty,
Is resolved to "strike England to her knees "—a very
on-knees-y position for a great nation. All Irishmen are
to be forced to join the Land League, even by violence.
"Whenever you see • bead, bit it." Such is the !risk-
sang, head-hit-orial advice; though his countrymen would
be safe even then, since most of them have "lost their
beads "already. "Spread the light in every way; let
It blaze in English cities, on board men-of-war," &c.
. . . . . .

Such is the " tiery " eloquence applied to the "burning
question" of iocendiarisin. No wonder Ireland is
called I-born-yer The Government, of course, is
frightened. " Gladetone goes guarded, Forster goes
guarded, the Parliament House is guarded," and now it
only remains for the Irishman to be a little more
"guarded "—in its remarks. It's panacea is "blessed
dynamite" (yes, but blessed dyna' mightn't), which is to
be "heroically applied where it will do most 'good '"—
i.e., kill moat people. " Bayonets and buckshot" are to
be busy B's in the hands of the rebels; kerosene, powder,
and gas-pipes are also among their "articles of war."
English people of every sort, by land or sea, are told to
" Beware 1' or in a short time they will be nowhere.
"The world moves, and so do we," say the "patriot.;"
but then, the world, unlike them, doesn't make • fuss
over its revolution. Tiler intend to "blow the whole
House of Lords to the dominion of Satan," making them
very "hot members" of the Upper House, which would
thus become the blown-irrper House. Fearful as we
these threate, at present tau:land need have little dread
of explosions—except "of rage," knowing that most ol
the dynamite siol gunpowder indulged in by these politiael
firebrands Ijs alter all, werely—"gaa."

THE FENIAN&

Nnv YORK, Monday.—A prominent member of the
°bleak, Irish Convention says, referring to the pro-
posed revolutionary attack ou England, that the time
will be sips for Ireland to strike for independence
when England becomes involved its f. 'reign difficulties.
It is evident that public eentimeot is having n quieting
effect on the hash. They are &lakW, to have it
understood that they have no 'pop dhy with the
dynamite faction. The Parnell branch of the Land
League in Cincinnati passed remilutions on Tuesday
severely cmdemning Irishmen who favour the use of
dynamite or other methods to promote the
cause of Ireland.

CUCTTYPW—Tbe present is a most important juncture
in cucumber growing. A week earlier or later in sowing
or planting successions during the summer months is •
matter of litnle moment, but when the day. begin to
shorten rapidly, a week sooner or later may make • great
difference fa the production of an indispensable crop.
Almost every family requires large suppliss of cucumbers
for shooting and other parties from November to January.
Therefore, pleat won enough for an early winter supply,
and have a clue succession corning on. The autumn may
be genial, in which case plant' will come into bearing
sooner than may be required; but, on the other hand, to
be behind, with .11th. elements of tight and heat against
one, is net desirable. If the plants are beams too emit,
It le s simple maiter to remove the fruit., but if there
are no fruits at all it is an awkward business at a Seaton
when plants will not bear hard forcing, except at Liao
risk of undermining their constitution. An early batch
should, therefore, be planted at once, and a succession
about the teginning of September, which will be making
sure .1 securing scrip. When the plants are planted out
they should be so treat xi alto ensure herdmeis and the
t .mpereture should be kept at the lowwit minimum the
plants will bear, without giving much titediert, the
benefit of which will bo perceptible when the short days
of winter rat in.—W. HIND& .

The weather continues in • very unaettbd c ndition,

with • low temperature for the time of year. The =s-
ables,' showers are shwa,e acceptsble, but the crops in
general miss the quiet, genial day., and the warm nights
which we expect at Va. season ; and the more tender
garden crops, such as vegetable marrow., dwarf French
beans, and scarlet runneis, do not thrive well with • cold
blast or wind from the N oth, end a night temperature of
about 50 deg. Our good old Engtali summers seem to

PALACE.

On Saturday an inquest was held at Penge, on the
bodies of Arthur Edward Willaon, aged 25, and James
Black, 33, who were drowned on the previous Thursday
aft irnoon by the upsetting of a pleasure boat on the in-
termediate lake. near the Archery Ground, at the Crystal

half-fliledwith water. The whole party then jumped up,and
the coosecluenos WM that the boat upset, and the five

the prettiest spots in the Isle of Purbeck, where they
enjoyed themselves in different games and ammements
until tea was ready, when they all assembled
together and did justice to the good things provided
for them. About five o,clock the friends and public
had such a treat that they will not be likely to forget
for many a day, and when all had had their fiU they
joined in distributing the prizes, helping with the races,

and" Shake your bustle out," which were well kept
up until the signal for starting. when anyone would
have thought it was a race for all hands, to see them
go up the hill to get the beet waugons ; but best or
worse, they were all packed so close together that I here
was not elbow room. But most of them made it up
with their tongues, and if noise is any proof of jollity
there was plenty of it. I must not forget to mention
that Mr. and Mrs. Lose were unremitting with their
endeavours to keep the games alive which they suc-
ceeded so well in doing, that they had the thanks and
good wishes of all.—Frem a Correspondent.

BBIDPOBT.

A ROYAL Favona„—lt is with general satisfaction
that it is proposed to erect for the accommodation of
the Bridportooastguard a block of substantial dwellings
at the harbour. The plsn has been mooted, and with-
out donut will be carried into effect at the earliest
opportunity. From reliable authority we learn that
His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, on the
occasion of his recent inspection of the coastguard,
noticed the absence of • station, and had to visit various
quarters of the harbour t view the homes of the men.
His Highness has stated the want of accommodati,n
at the proper quarter. The existing inconvenience has
long been felt by Mr. 13elliughain, chief officer. In
case of a vessel being in distress • deal of valuable time
would claps.. in marshalling the guard te prepare the
apparatus, An., whereas if the dwellings of the men
were concentrated instead of being scattered, as they
now are, no time would be Im et, and the result would
in many cases be the saving of life. The subject being
yet in embryo, the site has not been selected, but for
manifold reasons it is desirable that the new station
should be erected in the locality id the apparatus and
guard-houses. The burdings would also add to the
civilised appearance of the harbour.

°ERNE ABBAS.
FLOWER AND VEGETABLE BHOW.

The flower and vegetable show of this town was held
on Thursday last, together with the Cerne National
School treat. The children assembled at the scho)l
about three o'clock, and, headed by the Cern° Brass
Band, walked through the principal streets of the
town, together with many Mende, and thence to the
field, where the flower show was being held. They
were plentifully supplied with cake and tes by the
Rev. H D. Gundry, Mrs. Gundry, &lid acne, together
with Mr. and Mrs. Crump: the schoolmaster and
schoolmistress, and Mr. Dern:nen and friends, work-
ing hard to keep them well supplied. Mr. Crump
deserves great praise for lre kindness in cdleetieg
subscriptions from the parishioners, and for the manner
In which he carried out everything.
The show of flowers and vegetables was the largest
ever held, filling two large tents, supplied by Mr. R.
B. Brown, of Dorchester.
Lord Digby very kindly sent • large supply of
choicret flowers from his greenhouses, at Minterne,
also a splendid show of vegetables and fruit, including
I some very fine cauliflowers, cucumbers, potatoes, and
I currants ; and great credit is due to his head-gardener,
Mr. Mills, for the very fine productions. The judge
was Mr. Mills, and he had no ea.): task to perform in
awarding the prizes, as the comprtition was very keen,
especially in the potato class, whi3l3 was exceedingly
good.
Mr. Mills'. son—Master Harry Mils—exhibited •
box of silkworms, showing them in their different
stages. The c .mmittee consisted of the f u lowing gentle-
men, viz., the Rev. 11. 1). dundry, Mr. Clark, Mr. J.
D. House, and Mr. H. Norma., ar.isted by Mr.
Sherry, their hon. secretary.
During the day the show was visited by many
people, and was a great success.
