The child, who is about five weeks old, commenced to

" P. Peck, Req.," and on another piece of paper was
written the request—" Take care of me I have no

On the night in question a woman, supposed to have

her destination she t lot out a coin, paid Roswell, who
at once pxketed it, but on returning home he found
to his discomfiture that the fare given him instead of

cry when she alighted. She left Weymouth the same
evening, and we believe Supt. Vickery is well on her

dates" had snowed together on the same platform
by both their letters being read; and he hoped it
would not be the last time. He sincerely -hoped
that the time was not f ar distant when they would
see them both bodily present on the same plat-

proposed, on behalf of the choir, a vote of

felt in wing the two congregations thus showing their
good and kindly feeling towards each other.
VISIT OF MR. H. EDWARDS, M.P.
We are delighted to lee our esteemed member, Mr. H.
Edwards, once more amongst us. He is now staying
at the Imperial Burdon, where he has received a large
number of friends. He ie looking remarkably well,
eonsidering the serious nature of the accident and the
necessarily long imprisonment which it entailed; but
bias in excellent spirits, and we trust our healthful sea

that nearly every o. _
- polling-
booth felt in his conscience that be could en-trust hie
representation to me. (Applause.) Therefore I hare every
reason to be satisfied, and If I have any reason at all to be
dissatisfied it simply arises from the disappointment I
naturally sustained in not being able now to stand before
you as your representative in Parliament. I have not had
entrusted to me that great and important trust which I
should like to have held; but my only hope Is that those
gentlemen whom you have elected will remember that
that trust is a very sacred one which you have imposed in
them. (Hear, hear.) It is not merely in the interests of
this borough or this county, but it is the larger interests of
this greet empire, and the millions who are ruled whose
interests are concerned. (Hear, hear.) I fear this slew is
often absent, both from the minds of the representative ea
well as voters. They often seem simply to regard the
local interests, and who will best answer the loos!
purposes, forgetting that this or that man's vote in Parlia-
ment may decide the line of policy which shall be the
death-blow to the itappinese of thousands of lives. A
good many persons seem to think that because • man is
able to turn out his pockets and bestow • large amount of
money for charitable purposed that man is the best for the
place. That may be the best in municipal contests,
but certainly not in Parliamentary. It is rather
your duty to look to the men who are really best fitted to
represent you in Parliament, and to those principles which
you conscientiously hold, and not look merely to the
benefits conferred upon the locality. (Hear, hear.) If I
had thought that all you wanted was a man who would
best answer your parson). locally! should have been the
Nat to come here. (No, no.) I cannot compete with Sir
Frederic Johnstone or with Mr. It tweeds in that respect
I have not the local influence of one or the long puree of
the other, but I have the best interests of my country at
heart, and I truly believe that every true Weymouth
working man looks neither to the length of my purse, nor
my local influence, but rather to the strength of my con-
victions upon certain - . (Chasm) Referring to

She had left hie service about • fortnight before,
having been with him seven weeks. Most of the
things were found, which he identified as his property.
—Supt. Vickery asked for • remand till the following
morning, enquiries being made m to further property
having been stolen.—The remand was granted.—The
prisoner was brought up on the following morning
before B. Hopkins, Bag , and T. Abbott, Esq., when
a further charge was brought against her, for stealing

she had received an excellent character from a Mrs.

one and all, did not feel a lively interest in the presentation
which they were about to make, for he was sure the young
of the ;wish especially had been watched over and
guarded by their dear friend, Mn. Falkner, perhaps morn
than any of them. Ile (11r. Milledge) was looking over
an old document just now, and he found it was 10 long
years since Kr. Falkner elms amongst them. Now most
of the children did not remember the time when he first
came. During that time if there was one work in the
parish which he had striven to do better than another, it
was in the visitation of these schools. Mr. Falkner could
say that he knew nearly all the children in the ptrish
schools by name, knew all about them, their father.,
their mothers, and their homes, and thus showed that he
took the liveliest possible interest In them. As they grew
up they would find that really good, true, sincere, and
honest friends were not so easily obtained that they could
afford to lose the,n without a pang of regret, and he was
sure that this regret they all felt very much at having
to part with Mr. Felkner. It wag only natural, he sup-
posed (although one could hardly understand why their

(Lsrighter.) I don't think you have every found any great
sttuarniin who ever began his political career Save in early
life. Thsre have been ne doubt men, like Cobden, who
have initiated some great reform in their later
year,. Ile was one of the great leaders of the
Liberal orty, when that party effected the Repeal of
the Cum Lawd ; but even Cobden could not be ranked

all. Mr. Gladstone and I.Ord Beaconsfield both begun—

against Lord Beaconsfield. Whatever elm he is, he is a

no doubt his principles have wrought the country • great
injury ; but then remember the country is mainly to
be blamed for that, for the country put him in that
position, and entrusted him with the government.

the burden en l hest of the day, their friend, Mr.
Feltner, should seek a little relaxation by taking the
duties in a country parish rather than continuing in this
large and continually growing parish, where every moment
of bin time must necemarily be occupied. The regret
which they felt that evening at parting with hint would
be Isr greater but for the fact that he had not to go very
far away. Only three short miles and they would always

Sod their way very often to Buckland. and in return he

welcome from him, and whenever he came here there was

they met on earth very often or not, there was a far

We, the scholars of the parish schools of St. Mary's and
Christ Church, Holcombe Regis, beg on the occasion of
your leaving Weymouth to present you with this writing
table as • small token of the love and esteem we bear you.
In bidding you adieu, we feel we cannot express our
thanks for the many acts of kindness we have received at
your hands during your ministry amongst us, and we
eernestly pray almighty God that He may shower rich
blessings en you and yours In your new parish, and that
your labours of love may be thankfully appreciated as
they have been in Weymouth.
The rev. gentleman in reply gave an affectionate and
feeling address.
GRAND RECEPTION OF MR. WYLIE.
The Liberals of Weymouth gave Mr. Wylie • right
hearty greeting on Saturday. Beyond Mr. Dennis, to
whom • telegram was addressed, hardly anyone knew of
the approaching visit • few hours before Kr. Wylies
err' ; but by six o'clock the town emulated in quits astir.
and by half-past, the time at which the train from London
was due, there were about /08 meow ea the platform
ready to give • warm welcome to the owe who had fought
so well on their behalf. On Me snivel of the train the
scene was of the moist seCidWl sad enthusiastic character,
and Mr. Wylie was literally hemmed in by his friends all
ready to give • hearty shake of the hand and in other
ways to testify their warm feelings toward; him. It was
with extreme diliculty that be was enabled to reach his
„image. This haying been at length accomplished, some
ardent spirits proceeded to unharness the hones, and it
was only after the timely and prudent advice of the Rev.
B. Bolton, Mr. Dennis, and others, that they were pre-
vailed on to desist, evidently with great reluctance.
While the harness was being re-adjusted, Mr. Wylie
&detrained a few words from the carriage. He .Itaci, he
said, not the slightest knowledge when he left London
that there was going to be anyone at the station to meet
biro, be having only gent • telegram to Kr. Dada' SO
inform him of his visit; they could therefore conceive of
his surprise at being so sathuslaatically received. He
came down simply for his love and respect for the men
of Weymouth, and to enure them of his unaltered feelings
towards them. (Cheers.)
The carriage then drove off amid the deafening cheers
of the assemoled crowd.
ENTHUSIASTIC If RE CMG AT THE THEATRE.
'hoe Theatre Royal_waa literally crammed on Saturday
night by working mai and others and many ladies, to hear
an address (rum Mr. Wylie. Is was • *sumo of gratified.
tion, and It may be said surprise, that at so short • notice
n 0 Many persons should hive assembled.
Mr. Wylie and the leaders of the party did not arrive
till some time after the hour announced, and in the mean-
time an incid,nt occurred which we as Liberals must
deplore, 'ix, the expulsion of the representatives of the
Conservative pnev. It must be oertainly confessed,
however, that the Liberal working men of the town have
received strong provocation to take the decided stop of
Saturday night, to show their disapproval of certain
obnoxious, ridiculous, and bombastic obraeee that have
"ornamented" the columns of the ative press
during the election. The liberty of the Press, however, is
a privilege that Liberals should be the last to tamper
with,
_and we are sure Kr. Wylie would have been
decidedly opposed to this step had he been present; but as
It was the reporters of the journals alluded to were for
their own safety requested to leave. Wha.ever militate-
moon have been made In these papers during the contest

and Washing principles of the party of which these =I
are partisans. its Soglishmen,_ however,and Liberals, we

Much amusement was caused in the interval before the
arrival of Mr. Wylie, In an elector, formerly a seaman,

he killed 500 "nitre: how be too had been round Cam

know I was undaunted as ever I was in me life, and as
determined as ever I was yet to represent Weymouth in
Parliament (Loud and continued cheering.) When I
went back to Londont toy chambers were inundated by
my Conservative friends coming to condole with me, but
who would not have put in an appearance had I succeeded.
(Laughter.) But I noticed one thing about these gentle-
men, they drew very long faces over it, for they knew
they came upon a very doubtful errand. I had nothing
to be condoled with for. (Hear, hear.) They knew very
well that the fight warn • very go d one indeed. They
knew the number of votes I had polled, sad they knew
the enthusiasm I hal aroused, and that enthusiasm was

expecting me to draw • long face and to be neatly

gratitude for the manifold kindness which I received at

mouth as any man, and as true and sincere a
friend as If I was standing before you now

Gentlemen, my thanks are especially due to my committee
who worked for me so energetically during the whole
period of the contest. (Applause.) Their confidence
abatedfec on. moment, although there were many reasons
why it ahould. I don't think any man ever fought against
meter difficulties than I did during that fortnight. and I
don't think any man ever had such slanderous libels as I
had to contend mainst. (Shame) Still at the same time
jam only sorry that the Liberal party are not quite united.
(deer, hear.) You know that arises from no action of
mine, (Cheers.) You know bow truly and how earnestly
I advocated Mr. Elwards's cause, you know how truly I
spoke of his generosity and kindness to you. I never once
asked your undivided support for me, and so long as I
stand here representing the Liberal came I never shall. If

Sir,—Certain representatives of the Tory Press In this
town had • reception they richly d ed on 8 iturday
night last, at the theatre, by • crowded and reipectable
audience, met to herr an address from the late Liberel
candidate, A. C. Wylie, E q, for no sooner wars tbey
taped than the immense audience simnltiineously
demanded their expulsios, and to prevent violence these
reporters were advised to withdraw, which they did. The
meeting evidently well rem:mbered the spiteful and
malicious reports and comments of those journals upset
the respectable tradesmen and industrial classes, forming
the principal stippmters of Refers. Balm& and Wylie
during the recent election. Not content with profits*
advice, vile and insulting epithets were employed by theca,
such as " political firebrands, " " disaffected rabble,"
" Wylie's contempt for the mob," and under the heading—
" Wylie reproaches the disaffected rabble," one said
" What is the matter, you dissentious rogues,
That rubbing the itch your opinion
Make yourselves scab.? What would ye have, ye curs r
Respectable men were thus spoken of becanae forsooth
they chose in the exercise of their right to invite aid
support a second Liberal candidate, who would hare
buttressed and supported Kr. Ildwarda whom the Tory
party endeavoured to turn out at a late contest, and'
would have done so if they had been strong enough. The
supporters of Messrs. Edwards and Wylie are quite
capable of discussing the flattery, adulation, and even
things more substantial, which would hare baen lavished
on them if they would but have recorded their votes in
favour of the party who, under the high-sounding title of
"Glorious old Constitution," would also have upheld its

SEIOBT BUT NOT SWEET.
Some few weeks ago, so the story runs, an old
gentleman, a native of Portland, who if years ha I
ro bught wisdom in their train, ought to have known
better, was drawn within the magic circle of a oert sin
well-known wid erv's fascinations. After • brief but
no doubt very happy courtship, the day was fixed
when the happy though somewhat aged pair were to
be united. Without stretching our imaginative powers
to an unusual tension, we car, picture the charming
widow, while deftly making the necessary preparations,
saying to herself—
Heat., happy day, the day I've longed to see,
When some poor fellow would • captive be
To charms that ones my ample person greed,
When I the parson years ago first faced;
And now to think that Jobs, with his grey hair.
Should offer my declining years to share,
'Ti, joy for which rye hoped till now In vain,
Almost despairing other mats to gain;
But now this day Ls fixed, and soon he'll share
The crosses that alone I cannot longer bear.
Haste I haste I ye hours, and speed away,
And usher in, ye bells, the welcome day.
On which to widow's weeds I hope to say good-bye,
And with my happy John to live and die.
Old father time was propitious, and they were
united amidst the good wishes of many friends; but
unfortunately the anticipated bliss was very short-
lived, for many weeks had not elapsed when the aged
bridegroom was heard mournfully to exclaim, as he
paddled amongst the water and stud—
"o dear I'm afraid I stall soften my brain,
I wish from my heart I was single asali•"

pitied rather than blamed, for no doubt be was

that the partnership so recently entered into was dis-
solved with mutual consent. —Cosa

ACTION AGAINST THE HIGH SHERIFF.

- - •
Considerable interest was manifested in the et
Stembridge a. Norton, heard before Judge terror, at t
sitting of the County Court on Monday hu.t.
the High Bailiff of the Poole County C,tirt. and the
defendant is the }Ugh Sheriff of Poole Defendant Irak
by virtue of his office, returning officer at the Isla
Parliamentary election for the Borough of P...de, an
plaintiff alleged that he was engaged by defendant to .4
as presiding officer at one of the polling stations, but tin
appointment was afterwards revoked, and he
<ineptly lost his fee of three guineas, which he now sued fre,
Defendant (John Joseph Norton. Esq.) raid he ohjeetad
to the service of the summons, se he had only had
days' notice. He did not receive the summons until
Tuesday night, on his return from London, and he belie*
he was entitled to 10 days' notice.
„ . .

--Mr. Travers, who appeared for the plaintiff (Mr. Edam
Stembridge), said his client called on the Under Sherif
and told him he intended to take out • summers, but ha
would not take it out that day if he would undei take le
accept service. Plaintiff subsequently wrote a letter
(produced) to defendant. The Under Sheriff Mg
accept service, or they would have issued the sus.
mono in time to serve it on the defendant Tha
defendant informed hint on Thursday last of his ohjeeski
to the service of the summons, and the only ollectiusu
that time waa as to the legal question, but at the lien
interview he made imputations on the plaintiff's character.
He saw the plaintiff, who said he could not consent to sa
adjournment, and plaintiff wrote to defendant 'skim
him what things he referred to, but he receive' no I,ply.
If it was only on the legal question, he was willing ta
consent to an adjournment, subject to bin client's approval,
but when he told his client he said he must have his
character cleared—he could not let it go on for a month.
If defendant liked to withdraw the imputation. La
let it be understood that this was merely a legal questica,
he (Mr. Travers) would be happy to meet Mr. Howard is
May.
Defendant sail he never authorised the l'n,ler Sherif
to accept service of summons, and he never laai notice
that the summons would be issued. lie received the
summons on Tuesday night, and on Weduesle, !minim
he telegraphed to Mr. Howard asking whether be c,ahl
, attend to-day, and be replied the saine evening that he
could not possibly come, as be should be in Mancheder.
lie then engaged Mr. Ilowanl to attend at the %lay Court
Ile believed he beds proper answer, not beim:duly served,
and if the Court decided that he had been duly served he
had a right to ask for an adjournment. The ra.e wig
supported by the whole of the legal lights .d the Cmiec
votive party, and they gloried in this matter.
Mr. Travers sail he must object to this.
The Judge said it was perfectly absurd fr a man to
apply for an adjournment without any legitimate

WWI doing wrong. lie was acting not as the defeadasita
solicitor, but as the ruder Sheriff.

Mr. Tea' vers sai I he should say the proper mum wo
be not to serve on the Sheriff hut on hp

the COM tried now if Mr. Howard could be present. 114
money, if ordered to be paid, would not cone out f the
election expenses, but out of his pocket; therefore it ems
a private matter, and had nothing to do with the &reties.
His Honour read the endorsement on lie summon
showini that service was accepted by the Under Sherif.
awl defendant said this was done without any authority
on his pin, and he /dill objected to it.
Mr. Trsvers said plaintiff wrot r to defendant saying ills:
the reasons given for cancelling the oppointweet wen
prejudicial to hi. character, awl in fairness to hiinielf ha
must risk him to inform him in writing whit they were,
and he reserved to himself the right of taking ay
further proceedings. Defen lent did not give the kin
idea what three insinuations were, and he (Mr. Trir•oil
was there to stand up for his client's character more than
for the three guineas.
Defendant Mad he was prejudiced there by not having
a solicitor, and lie was threitene.l with an a -Lion fir

officer at one of the pol;ing loaotho at the late election.
Defendant: That I eholl dispute.
Mr. Travers continued that during the time pr. ezoling
the election plaintiff acted as deputy to the Under Sherif,
as he had been fuvuotomed to this work. and had Me.
viously acted as presiding officer. A week after ale(endont
had appointed him to that post, plaintiff received thi
letter produced from the defendant. The letter woo to
the effect that defendant had received several objectiono
to plaintiff acting as presiding officer, on the ground that
he was in the employ of Mr. IL S. Dickinson. who was
agent for Mr. Schreiber (the (onoervative candi.lat-d Al

direct or indirect connection with the agents on eithot

vstive) at the polling booth in the Mace of plaintiff. Mr.
Travers continued that the oat ly objection mentioned can
that plaintiff was in the employ of Mr. If. S. Dickin...e.
ant plaintiff at once replied to the letter, saying that be
we, not in the employ of Mr. 11. S. Dickinson. and dist
he had no direct connection with any agent, and bt
should hold defendant to the appointment, as he had khada
arrangements accordingly. Mr. Travers said he was
ing to admit that Mr. It. S. Dickinsoo was agent to Mr.
Schreiber: but supposing that plaintiff was in the emplof
of that gentle:lmm. which he would deny. such eaunlof•
ment would not prevent his acting as presiding offiser.
There was only one thing that would prevent anyone act.

Under Sheriff on the following Tuesday, and told him
what had passed and assisted him in many of the forms.
lie put him straight as to the numbers on the balks

ground that he was in the employ of Kr. IL S. Dickirses.
