WAREHAM
SANITARY MEETING.

In consequence of the following requisition, the
Mayor (A. H. Minty, Esq.), convened a public
meeting, which was held in the Town Hall last
Friday evening.

" To THE MAYOR OF THR BOROUGH OF WARCH•II.

-------•
Sir.--We, the underrigned inhabitants and 1-Mel:wirer*
of the borough, ending the sanitary state of the
town is to be brought before the Hoard of Guardians
on Tuesday, 4th June, respectfully request you will,
as early as possible, convene t public meeting at the
Town Hall, that the opinions of the inhabitants in
general may be consulted thereon."
(Signed by Sixty-Six inhabitants)
The attendance wan very large, the Mayor pre-
siding. Amongst those present were : C. 0. Bartlett,
Esq., W.C. Lacey, Esq., S. Bennett, Esq., %V. J.
Pike, Esq., E. Mercer. Esq., the fey. S.R. Capel,
the Rev. Mr. lianharn, the Rev. Mr. Davidson ;
Messrs. C. Yearsley, W. Spicer, S. Spicer. John S.
Drew, E. Dean, J. Spicer, C. Sully, G. Best, H.
Best, J. B. Gillingham, C. Groves, C. B. Barfoot,
W. T. Redman, J. Parks, J. Beer, kc., &c.
The MAYOR, in a short speech, commenced the
business, and said he should be glad to hear any
one who wished to address the meeting.
Mr. Girovu proposed the first resolution, "That
although the meeting admitted the existence of
sanitary evils in the town, they could not allow
the town to be placed under the direction of any
General Board, but recommended to the notice of
the meeting the 13th section of the 23rd and 24th
Victoria. Mr. Groves said they did not come there
to cavil against any person or persona, but merely to
study what was best to be done.

Mr. J. H. RAGum seconded the proposition, and
said the sanitary state of the town was nut so bad as
had been represented. On each side of Wareham were
low marshei, and no power would compel the
owners of those marshes to drain them. The deatha
from March 1859 to March 1560, were 76, in •
population of 3,976. Looking through the death
rate be found that one-fifth had reached the age of
WI years, a tolerable proof that people in Wareham
lived to a good age. The increase of the popu-
lation from 1851 to 1861 was 150 within the
borough.
The Rev. S. R. CAPEL said that during the last
ten years there bad bean a decrease of two in the
whole population of the union.
Mr. RAuhe said he referred to the borough. 3.5
new cottages of an improved description had been
built. The act Mr. Groves referred to gave every
individual power to summon any person before the
magistrates, for a nuisance, and the offending party
would have to pay coda and remove the nuisance
immediately. Mr. Galcraft was willing to remove

degree of interest, and for the credit of our club,
which, we believe carried off the laurels at each of
the matches it played last season, that it will again
be suocessful. But should it be defeated it will set
be for want of pluck or skill.
SCHOOL TREAT.--Al the meeting of the Yeovil
Guardian Friendly Society, on Tuesday, May 21st,
(a report of which we gave in our last impression.)
the (lee. Mr. Elliott stated that his Worship the
Mayor, W. Bide, Esq., with his accustomed
liberality, had decided upon giving all the school
children in the town, amounting, we believe, to
nearly 1,100, a tea, and that he also intended to
provide them with • field, and furnish them with
a variety of amusements. We think this isa step
in the right direction, and too much praise cannot
bailees' to Mr. Bide for his kindness.
THE New STATION. —The Bristol and Exeter and
South• Western joint station is intended to be
opened for traffic or the Ist of June, when the old
station at Hendford will be used only as a goods
station. The new station, being situate in a more
'antral part of the town, will his great boon to
passengers, and from its elegant appearance is a
great improvement.
COUNTY POLICE, Monday, May 27th.—(Before
George Harbin, Esq.)
STEALING POTATOES.— Thomas Gayiard, of Stoke,
was brought up in the custody of P.S. Clarke, on
a charge of stealing some potatoes, on Saturday last,
from an outhouse attashed to Mr. Darby's premises
at Stoke. It appeared that the police sergeant was
passing Mr. Darby's house on the day in question,
and saw the prisoner coming from the house with
; something on his back. He went up to him, but as
he had no bundle with him, he went beck and searched,
and found a basket containing some potatoes. The
potatoes coroupondhd with some in Mr. Darby's
possession. He went to the prisoner and charged
him with committing the robbery. He denied that
he had Whin the potato,* but said he had picked
, them up, near Mr. Darby's gate. On ries, however,
to the prisoner's jacket, he found • akeletcra key
which would open Mr. Derby's gate.—Renninded.
Mr. Watts defended the prisoner.
BRADEORD FRIENDLY floacre.—The anniver,
airy of this society was kept up at the village of
Readford, on Tuesday last, and it was ushered in
with merry peals from the belfry of St. John's

ing. In conseqnesse of the inclemency of the
weather the members did not do much at parading,
but amused theinwskees by sitting down to an excel.
lent dinner.

of this association was held in this town on Tuesday

hampton Stalls, on the farm of Mr. R. Stratton, of
Broad Hinton, by which two wheat ricks sad the
half of ono, which was being threshed by stags,
as well as the threshing machine, were totally con-
sumed. it is believed that the fire originated by •
spark from the engine, as a little smoke was
observed issuing from the "ravings" and the whole
was instantaneously in a blaze. Being an isolated
spot, no fire engine could be there to save any-
Wog, and the straw, itc., being very dry, it burnt
with the greatest rapi&ty. An adjacent cottage
and buildings escaped, and it is stated that Mr.
Stratton is insured.

DROWNED. —On Sunday week, the body of
Theresa Kendall, an inmate of the Almshouses, was
found in the river Frame, near the south entrance
to the town. At the inquest, which was held at
the Rising Sun on Monday, May 27th, some dis-
cussion ensued as to whether proper care had been
shown towards deceased. It appeared to be the
general opinion that Abe was not in a sound state

FLOKAL AND A ReIIISKY INTR.—There is not, we ,
believe, anything which tenth' more to the enjoyment
of a well•cultivatal inind than the pleasure derived
from the reai in', and tending of flowers. nen from
childhood we derive no small part of the saeeta of
bum in existence by thou silent speakers of God's
love to i. an which we gather from our hedgerows
and woods. AU societies, therefore, %hid' tend to
foster this pleasure and to increase this good feeling
are well worthy the support of those who have the
hest interests of their fell,.w-oratures at heart.
These thoughts have occurred to us by the happy
day spent by the large nuuiber of persons who
visited our generally quiet town on the occasion a
