the tramway made the 'bole tremble. At the pile
pier, the whole of the *beet piling wu destroyed, and
some Oise have been dostroyed by worms.
Iu answer to Mr. WILFORD, the Surveyor said the
Greet Western truake and their loads wads it Hay
for the tramway to be mod; they were lajurlon thal
QUayill, and there was danger o/ brining them down.
When they bad the narrow-gangs trucks, It might not
be unsafe; but • few mare piles must be driven. light
or tea Great Western trucks would was at • Mau,
and this ought to be regulated.
On the suggeetios of Mr. ATI/MORT, the Surveyor
said the Corporation ought to Insist on the outside rail
bolos taken away, when the narrow gangs is latrodeeed,
so that the rail may not bean neer the edge, and en-
danger the glay.
Mr. WILSFORD proposed that Use result of th• tansy

which Dr. Hayman had been tasted by the new governing
body, first in declining to uphold his authority, and then in
attempting to turn him adaft from a lucrative position, with
his reputation damaged—as far as such procaxtings could
damage it. The learned counsel having cited precedents in
which bias had been held to Invalidate a dismissal, charged
Dr. Temple with doing his best to bring about the fulfilment of
his own proplacy. Mr. Pearvon followed, with a refutation of
defendants' main plea that they were astral with arbitrary
power to dismiss Dr. Hayman at a moment's notlee.

The first nine are elected. They are the original nine
who were nominated, and may be taken to represent the
Ooagervative (sanitarily speaking) majority, although
the poll is headed by an otherwise thorough-going
Liberal. But they appeal. dto the ratepayers as those
who would make as few changes and spend as little
money se possible. In their address of thanks, however.
they draw their essnomy very mildly indeed. While
assuring the ratepayers that the oonfidenee reposed in
item shall not be misapplied, they say " The adoption
of the Local Government Act befog imperative, will,
you are aware, cause additional rates to ho levied, but
we trust to make the burden as light as possible, having
due regard to the requirements of the Ac'. We would
take this opportunity of asking your on-operation and
support in the abatement of admitted nuisance', and in
the introduction of necessary reforms." This, at any
rate, is a more advanorad programme than that contained
In their first address, and no doubt circumstances will
carry them on to reforms they now regard with aver-
sion.

BLANDVORD SErTIIIIIIIHR FAIR—The SepteMher fair was
not only thinly attended by dealers, but the supply of I
sheep, and all kinds of stock, homes and pigs, was I
unusually small, and business throughout ruled exceed-
ingly dull Sheep and lambs were very slow of sale, and;
eel 301J1 were on offer, including • splewled lot belonging
to Mr. Mackrell of Spettisbury, for which le. was offered
and refused. The general quotations ranged for Ik. to
39a., the average being 305., which was much below the
figures of recent fairs. Buyers appeared to have a fea
o( short keep, owing to the expected scarcity of hay and
turnips. Of pigs there were only 70, and trade therefore
was limited. At the Corn Exchange the attendance was
moderately good, and English wheat, which was in
slow supply and somewhat out of condition, changed
hands at from 441. to 41k. per quarter. We did not
hear of any barley changing hands, but the quotation
furnished us was from 31145. to 435. per quarter.

MAIDEN NEWTON.

FATAL ACcior_vr. -A shocking accident occurred here
on Monday afternoon to • man named George Abbott, a
carter in the senice of Mr. Andrews, of Wmxall. He
was in charge of a waggon laden with coal drawn by two
horses, and in trying to get on the shafts in order to ride
fell backwards, and the wheels passed over the middle of
his body, fracturing his spine. BD. Randall, surgeon, was
called, and the unfortunate man lived about an hour, but
the accident was fatal. The inquest was held at the
White Horse on Tuesday, Mr. \V. Vernon being foreman
of the jury. After blaring the facts they returned a
verdict of Accidental Death. The man was about 1.5
years of age, and leaveo a wife and seven children. For
eleven years he has worked for Mr. Andrews, who spoke
of him very highly for his steadiness and general good
conduct. The jury kindly gave their fees to the widow,
Packhain gave up the fee for the room, Mr. N'emon
started • subecription with les., and several other sums
were contributed, the money being placed in Mr.
Andrews's lauds for the benetit of the bereaved widow
and children. Any SUMA sent to Mr. N'emon, at Maiden
Newton, or to Mr. A nch ews, Wraxall, will he thankfully
received and applied to the pressing needs of these deeply
afflicted people.
