their annual meeting at the Royal Victoria Lodge Hotel
Offisers for the ensuing year were appointed ; Mr. Hodsdon

the members present supped with a few friends at the

WIIAT IS " PRoviffialcg I —We have heard that a
"Rev." minister was invited a short time ago to • circuit
preacher's' position in the South of England. After ;
enquiring about tho house atul the salary, he wrote saying ;
that he believed it was the call of Providence he should ;
accept, and the friends expected him to come. Meantime
; another circuit offered superior advantages to the "Rev." ;
loan, and he transferred his belief to Providence that
called him to the second circuit, and there he went. •
correspondent wants to know, if Providence seat the that
call, who it was that sent the second.
RESCU E FROM A CLlVl.—About seven o'clock on Saturday
evening, a coastguardsman namod Frank Hopkins, who
was watchman on the west side of the island, saw two
young gentlemen coming along the shore underneath the
rocksuear Blacknor Point Knowing that it was flood tide,
and that they could not get round the point, he watched
them for about a quarter of an hour, when they had partly
enfolded up the cliff; and were in a daneerous position,
and called out for a rope to help them up. He took off
itome of his clothes, and got down to them, when he found
that they were cooling up by means of a spike which one
drove into the cliff, then he assisted the other up, and
drove the spike higher, and no on. By this means they
had got about 100 yards from the bottom ; but there were
about 300 yards more to ascend, when one of them became
nervous, and could not go on with his climbing. The
coastguardsman took hold of the timid one, and by his
superior skill in cliff work, got him to the top in safety ;
the other managed to get up by himself. One was about
II or 15, the other 10 or 11; they were in Portland on a
visit from London.
(lux Com.—lt is well known that the late I.'aptain
Manning peremptorily forbad the use of guns within the
Royal Manor of Portland; but now a Gun Club has
actually been started by some of the principal officers at
the "Grove." The name Grove suggests, leafy coverts.
whizzing pheasants and whirring partridges; but alas
the principal part of it might have been called "Grove"
on the Isom a non fuerfido principle ; for, except at
Pennolvanis, there are few or no trees. But humbler
game will tempt these aristocratic guns, for we learn that
a lot of rabbits have been turned loose in East Weint,
they have multiplied greatly, and the Gun Club have the
permission to shoot the vermin. Boys with nets and
ferrets, it is said, go down there, and trap the conies; but
all this,e wicked doings are to be stopped, and the Gun
Club is to prosecute the offenders. so that Portland may
noon furnish, None miserable " trespass in pursuit" cases
like the rest of the county, and will scarcely enjoy longer
its happy freedom from such eases. Perhaps it would be
well for the Assessment Committee to see if they can
get something out of the Gun Club by rating their right
of shooting. At all events we hope that a distinguished
member of the Club has found the lethal weapon, or its
case, which he so unhappily lost the other day.—Com-
