Sir and Brother,—lt Is with feelings of the
deepest regret that we learned of your intention not
to remain with us another year tweeably to the
repeated wishes of the last two quarterly meetings ;
bat it is admitted, in this matter, you alone are coin-
ent to Judge. However, we cannot permit you to
leave us without tendering to you our best thanks for
your seed is during the past year, and beg you will
accept the accompanying timepiece as a slight rec
nition of your labour. Truett is not s very valuable
article, but the reason of this is that only a few
ham been oomulted in the matter. If it had been
=ry known throughout this wide circuit that we
.d to mark our sense of your worth in this man-
ner, we ham no doubt that subscriptions would have
been rewired from every preaching place, and a much
mom valuable article offered for your acceptance.
But It wan not deemed wise t tax the generosity of
our members just now, and we are sure such a pro

coding would be very distasteful ti you. We desire
also to place on record the fact that the visits of Mn'.

she came in contact for some years to come. It is

continue in strong faith to work for the same Master;
looking forward to the bliss of that re-union, when
' With yonder sacred throng,
We at His fart shall fall,
Join in the everlasting song,
And crown lion Lord of all

The Dorset County Horticultural Show of 1880 was
sore to be a 'nooses from the number of entries. Mr.
Osmond, the accomplished hon. secretary, had with
the committee, issued an excellent prise list, and the
entries on the morning before the show numbered
498, besides the collection of fruit, and of orchids:and
other flowering plants, promised by W. E. Bonner,
Earl., M.P. for the borough, and which was certain
to be an excellent one.
The entrance to the show ground was, of coarse,
under the castellated gateway the New Barracks,
and on the left you almost immediately arrived at the
principal marquee, pitched parallel with the Bridtswt-
road ; and just inside the railings, sufficiently near to
be under the convenient shadow of the trees. The
north-west side of the tent looked out on the parade
ground, which is almost entirely surrounded with the
capacious buildings of the New Barracks, the only
peep of the country beyond being at the west, where
a small opening reveals part of Poundbury, and
the road leading thereto. But on either side
the trees pleasantly overtop the buildings, and
form • sitting which is agreeable to the eye.
On the north, indeed, a "golden wreath" or two
smog she I..vaii tells no thst autumn is closest
band. Ter • peep of the Loeinay can De
obtained, the eight of the busy harvester., cheerily at
work in golden-brown fields, reminds us how far more
Inspiriting is this mason than that last when over-
charged clouds poured down their floods upon the for-
hmeraure-eeekers, and washed away • consi,ierab!e
of the resources of the Horticultural Society.
FaciTr the sere and yellow bow.shs that shine among the
green is the drill-shed, and in the shed are carrot and
onion beds of • most unusual kind. Iron bedsteads
have been lent by the military authorities, and on
them, saving the trouble of trestles, are displayed the
vegetables. Among those whom we saw taking part
in the arrangements were—The Mayor (Mr. CI.
Durden), Mr. T. Coombs, Rev. H. Everett, Mr.
Cunizington, Mr. Hogg, Colonel ffidfield. Mr. Osmond,
and several offioers of the Depat Brigade. .1 party of
soldiers helped in the work at the tent., and another.
party were levelling the parade ground. Besides the
vegetables, In the drill shed were displayed the
fuchsias, and the amateurs' flowers generally, and •
choice display of delicious fruit was shown in the
barracks, in that" Plan," block which commemorates
one of the greatest Indian battles, the meniory of
which is cherished among the honours of the reptuent
In garrison, and which recalls the troubloul
but glosious times when Clive laid the military
foundations of our Indian Empire. The genial
chairman of committee, Rev. H. Everett, worked
bard, especially in this fruit room, as did Captain
Dymond, himself • thorough horticulturist, and Mr.
B. Hogg, who, although the "colt" on the committee
Ws year, showed indoerev and good taste. Mr. S. R.
