OLD FIUINDW AIIIIVEINAAY.

The brethren of the Loyal "King's of this
society celebrated their tenth &poisoner, by a supper
at the Prcm.li Inn, nu Tues Jay evening. The room
in which the gathering took place wee tastefully
embedished for the occasion. At the upper sod over
the chairmen's seat, were the words. in red and black
lettering, "Samosa to Old Friends ;" at the lower end
"Unity end Tree Friendship," whilst the side walla
bore respeetively, "Lose the Brotherhood," and
"Plead for the widow." The Mayor (Mr. 0. J. G.
Gregory), occupied the chair, and Mr. Councillor
Eurnett the vie-ehair, and amongst those nretiont were
Mr. J. Good (medical officer), Mr. L. Gregory, Mr.
Hawkins, Mr. J. Drake, Mr. R. Hayman, Yr. F. J.

The CHAIRMAN gave "Bar Majesty the Queen,".
which was received with much enthusiasm.

Czar of Russia. Ho treated that union might aaaaa to
Gement still more o.nsely the Mendable which air...ad,

The Vica-Cmaibus.N gave the "Bishop and Clergy of
the Dioorae, and Christian Mini fall denomina-
tions." For himself he hul always received the greatest
kindness from them ell; but as there was so mueli
diversity of opinion on the cut ject, he thought the beet
saul.would be the sootiest mended.

Ilr. Daman@ (assistant to Mr. Good) also responded.
Mr. Good took great oats of penotes when they were
sick, but he &leo took great oare that they shenld not
remain on the slab list long—(laughter).
Mr. Boassrr proposed the" Town and Trade of

The CHLlp.ag gave " The Army, Navy, and
Reserve Forcer." With regard to the Army, resent
events bad ellown that they still displayed the pluck of
Englishmen, as had been evidenced by the number of
those who had come forward, and volunteered to face
disease and death on the Gold Coast. Ho hoped that
tho statement that Sir Garnet Wolosley had demanded
only MOO,OOO would torn out to be tow/reek as he
thought £2,000,000 would be nearer the amouot the
smg of Asbanteo should be called on to pay. As to
the volunteers, although not increasing numerically,
they were more efficient than ever, and, he fe:t cure
would be of ;terries if ever called upon. With the toast
he should couple the names of Mr. Burnett, for the
Militia, Mr. Good for the Teocutary, and Mr. J. Stayner
for the Volunteers.
The Viot-eilafeMair said he considered the Militia
had been generally badly treated at meetings of this
kind; he thought all the ether branch*, of the
service had remind more respect. For himself, be
was proud to say he had bolooged to the "Old Dorset"
for ten years, and he hoped to do so for another ten
years. It was said that the Militia would this year go
to Aldershot for their annual training, and if they did
so be hoped the people of Dorchester would join in one
of the aspirations on the walls, and say with regard to
then). COI Hely and StIOOMO to Old Friends " of

Mr. OiX)D said he had belonged to the Yeomanry for
20 years, and on behalf of Lord Richard Grosvenor and
the Malt he begged to return hie sineere thanks. He
believed the Yeomanry would be a valuable adjunct to
the regular army. _ . .

spent, and the party broke up at midnight.

BREACH OF FRONIIBII AT POOLE.

The Under Sheriff of Dorset (Mr. T. (Joomb,) held •
oourt at the Shlreball fait WoJnesday aftern,on, with
a jury, to mesa damages in a case of breach of promise
of marriage—Farwell v. Tryhorn. The jury were—
/debars. P. Cab* H. T. Cb,men, C. hilutford, W.
nit*ll, C Jeffery, W. J. Mush, T. Wellman, O.
!lounge'', F. Holland, R Warren' and H. Russell. Hr.
R. N. Howard, of Weymouth, was the plaintiff's
attorney. rho defendant was neither present In potion,
nor by attorney.
Tho Under-Sherrill briefly statod to tho jury the
lune they had to try.
. . . . . .

Mr. Howard then opined tho plaintiff's cane. He
indicated the legal boatinge of the ow, and proceeded
to state the psitioulara, whieh he observed would be
illustrated by "one of the nicest little bundles of love
Totters which bad been aeon for many a day." The
plaintiff r‘sided at Poole, and In August, 1869, was
introduced to the defendant, who was • painter by
trade, a native of Salisbury, but living at Pcwle. Their
acquaintance ripened into an eagagemect to be
married, and was as such reoognlsed by her friends and
his own. To show the affectionate terms which rut Led
between them he would read • few entrants from some
of his letfors to her daring the time he was working at
Blaudford. Oa most Sandayi he went to Poole to see
her, but when he could not do so he wrote. The letter
dated October 23, 1870, was a rather long epistle. In
It dofendant saki—

Private J. S wished some offloer bad iron
present to respond for the Volunteers. Sinai be bad
belonged to that body, its had endeavoured to do his
duty, and bad much eujoyed the work. He knew much
fun was poked at the volunteers by many, but he
believed If ever trailed upon they would come forward
51 005 man to do their duty.
Bong, by Mr. : "Sarah'. Young Man."
The CHAIHMAN said the toast be nad DOW to propose
was, he oonsidered, the toast of the evening. It was
" &rooms to the Grand Alfred Order of Old Friends."
Although this society °maid not beset of so long a
standing and so murk capital as many others, yet, he
believed it would boar favourable comparison with any
society as regarded the benefits it afforded. On* of it.
advantages was • sliding male of payments, by which
many in humble circumstances were able to become
members. It also granted relief in ease of fire, and by
a system of mutual sod, when a member was unable to
pay big subscription, it was paid for him. Be thought
them were good features. The Foresters of Dorobe stet
bad a flourishiug juvenile branch In connection with
their Court, and the Oddfellows were just starting a
similar movement, and be thought It would Ise • good
thing for the Old Friends to do; to trusted that during
tie coming year they (ths Old Friends) would be bleved
with • still greater amount of sueseasthan had hitherto
attended them. With the tout he should couple the
name of Mr. Bergs, the secretary of this lodge.
Mr. BMWS responded. He wee pleased to say their
Order wee in a prosperous 'oxidation. During the hurt
year they had experienced much sickness, havlng had to
pay £2,285 la. Bd. for sickness, and £852 10s. for death.
They had paid as potatoes .698 10g.' and for loss by
fire £lO, making • total of £3,446 Its. 81. ; the !Booms
bad been £3,512 16,, leaving a balance in baud of
£66 4s. 48. During last year they bad m.de between
60 and 60 new members., and they had now 2,959 mem-
ber', and • capital of £5,594 14s. 51. In the Doreliester
breech there were 165 ecru:lad, and he thought they
were looking up • little, as he bad fora for inflation
the following evening. He considered this state of
things very gratifying. This society conferred mach
ns fit by the payments It made in case of fire, and for
mutual aid, the last feature being orginally oontributed
to by • payment of 24. a quarter by the member,. In
this branch, however, they thought that by • p•ymont
of 3d. as entrance fee, and Id. per quarter all demands
might be mot, and during the time it bed been tried, it
had worked
_well. _ _

"I did feel happy when you said that you wished you were
goiter home unit mete be mine for ever. I wish it were so,
end fed sorry it is not ; but tune will soon fly, when we shall
he happy tugs:thin You must cheer up, and look forwent a
little way to the Usne when Implore you will make we a happy
little wife."

..... _
tin Nov. 13, atter Brooking about going to church
pre-ent.y, he wrot.—
I hope the day is not distant when we shall he always able
to go together; for you are my continual thought and pride.
None can imagine what Love Ls till they have experienced it •
sod none can have more than I Inane for you, my dearest.
could accept, as you mid. your hand and heart, and give Mille
In exchange. There could not be n more pleasant thing for
each of ua to do, where love 11 10 strongly united."

- -
These were no doubt very proper expressions for a man
to write to the young lady to whom he was engaged,
and there oould be no doubt but at time be wee exoeed-
tilly fond of her. On Nov. 28th he wrote—
Wept at Mrs. Light's last night. She wished to be kindly
renumbered to you, and she wanted to know when ours (the
wedding) was minim: off. Rho said she expected both would
be about the same Unit. I told her that wag it, but I suppose
It will not be quite so goon as that. We must wait a little
longer, dear."

In the letter of Jan. Btb. 1871, he begins by referring to
• lit tie tiff they bad bad, and says—
" I hope it will not be so again. But instead of that may
we have.more love for each other, if that can be. Kay it
increase so that when the day comes for us to live together in
unity we may ever be happy—have no much happiness no the
world can bring, my dearest." In concluding he wished her
a happy New Year, and hoped they should enjoy many 0/
them together.

Oa Jan. 22nd after speaking about the weather he
hoped when he SIM her again it would be brighter still
that they might be able to have

" Another loving walk together, for thorn it nothing gives
me groater pleasure. /low much bolter It will be when the
tin,. cornea for me to g, home am] end • loving little wile
waiting my retuni. I look forward to tho day with the
graatat pleasure when two loving hearta will be one. How
happy It will be when—

of Dorehaater. With the toast he should couple the

He (Mr. Burnett) had written, asking Mr. Bry nue to

he not been otherwise engaged. Lot the people of
Dorchester stick to Mr. Brymer, and he knew Mr.
Branu.r would stick to them—(applause).

fortune to lose in him an "old fuend " indeed • a man
who had always been beloved by them, and who belonged
to one of the oldest familia' in Dorset —(musloal honours,
said great cheering).
The VICE CHAIRMAN proposed the hoalth of the
chairman, who was alweys the right man in the right
place. He asked them to drink his health not only
as their Chairman, but as their worthy Mayor—(mtuill
applause).
The CIIIIIIMAII said be thought they had been rather
sharp on biro on the present oceasion—he considered a
better man might hors been found to preside—more
especially net. had been on the sick Ilst, end ought not
to have been present. However, it would always be
his endeavour to do what he could to promote the well-
being of thin and similar societies. This was 'tit first
society he was oannected with, and be should continue
to take much Interest In Its weifaec.

" I am happy to Ilnd you are in the same mind as mysell,
awl that you are willing to make me a happy partner. There
seems a great pnapect that we shall be the last of the ones
talked about ; but perhaps if they don't Wok out we 'hal he
as soon as them or before. It Is a thing that would greatly
please nte I have the summer before me, and will see what
we Call do by the fall of the year —that will ho the time to be
happy and gay."

From thew letters It would bs seen thst they were a
vrry affectionate 'maple, and had every prospect of
being happy. The oonrislup was oontlnusd in a most
proper way, there was not the slightest reflection oast
on either side and cite: as the world etoul t see it .as
a very suitable match. Within lass than three we its
after that letter, ard without the slightest dissgroc-
:pent between them, or blot of anything of the sort,

Mr. BAROZ prepfted " The Mayor and Corporation of

with the presents of members of the CJrporation at
their annual upper. During the ten years this society
had been In exletenoe he believed Mr Gregory had only
been Osamu ones, Mr. Vernon had kept pus pretty
well with him, and the present woe about the only time
that Mr. Bennett had been absent. Mr. Tauter would
here been present, bus was prevented by iedlapoeition.
H. (the speaker) thought they were much indebted to
thou gentlemen, who came forward and lent an helping
bend to the working men of Dorchester—(applause).
The Maini said properly speaking Mr. Councillor
Burnett should have responded to this tout, but as his
name was mentioned he bad much pleasure in doing so.
He felt proud in bring elected as chief roaate for
the wood time, and be believed the Mrporatiou
endeavoured to carry oat improvements is the tows at
the least possible wipeouts. Although the peblie some-
times grumbled with them, be hoped they would give
the Corporation audit for flood intestioss. As long as
be was able, be should be happy to meet them on
occasions like the present.

Mr. BAARIS proposed " kirdred Societies"
Mr. VIOART responded for the Foresters, He was
pleased to say they were in the most eueouraging posi-
tion, and he wee sure so long as the &sleeks In
the town were so well supported, well patronised,
and well oared for by gentlemen of the town they would
all continue to prosper. Blue they had bed Mr.
Gregory u Mayor, no one could have taken more
interest than he had in the welfare of this and similar
societies, and he (the speaker) felt sure all present
hoped their worthy chief magistrate would be for very
many years blessed with health and atringth.
Mr. BULYZI responded for the Odelfellows. They
were progressing favourably, and he wished all modeties

Tbe CHAIRMAN proposed the health of the vbs.
chairman. He was sure he was the right man In the
right place; now they bad him in harness, he hoped
they would keep hum there; he was only a young
member, they must keep him well up to the mark, and
be would he • audit to them— (applause).
Song by Mr. HAYMAN "The livening Party."
The VIOR.CRADAMAN said after the manner in which
his health had been honoured, he felt as If be were
"down among the male," or like "a monkey on a
stick," and he could 'carrel, lied words to reproofs his
thanks. Ile thought the motto oo the walls Witold be
altered to "SUOMI'S to Youag Friends." This wee the
first time he had been present with them, and therefore
he was • young member; but he hoped it would not
be the lest omission he should be present. He hoped
be should be always ready to do what he could for the
town of Dorchester; and, If caPed upon, he should be
proud to occupy the position he did that night on a
future occasion. He was not an "old Mend, • hot he
should be happy to be • young one, and to become an
honorary niember—(spplguse ).
Mr. BARRETT proposed the health of the Medics!
Officer, Mr. Good. Although he himself, during the 10
years this lodge bad been in existence, had not
required the movies' of the medical officer, those who
had spoke of him very highly.

THE BLACKIIOOR VALI RUNT.
' The &Donal dinner of the membars of this hunt took

oorisequelee of the inolemency of the weather the

G. Glyn, Bart., matter of the hunt presided, and among
the stomper y preeent were the Hon. W. H. B. Portman,
M.P. Commander Everett, Mijor Bogle, Major H. F.
Yeatin,o, Capt. Yeettentan, Capt. Coke, Rev. H. Nude,
Dr. Potokyna, Messrs. Ker-Seyniour, K. Chapman,

Benson, Conway. Scatle, Harris, Pentiarvis,
Willfame, Wirmott, Suite( s, W. Sterol!, H. B. Phelps,
T. Moore, Peony, Btutton, Trotman, and Prose
(huntsman).
On the oonclusion of the dinner, the usual loyal
towts were given from the chair and drank with
eutbludeace. The health of the bishops and &orgy of
both dioceses, which abso was proposed by the
CHAIRMAIf, wan briefly responded to by the ROT. H.
Denby.
In giving th• toast of '' The Army, Navy, and
Reserve Porcee," the CA•11111AN said the manner In
which the email band of &Wish sol Hers on the Gold
Coast, almost surrounded by an sorimy overwhelming in
numeera, defeated and evereamo teem, was worthy of
the highest proiee—(soplause). The navy was very
lareely Into. NW" In the op:..re'ious, and the hearty
way in which they had ro-nperated with the army was
the admiration of all—(applause). The Reserve forties
could only hope to emulate them in retard to matters
of .liacipline, and they hopti to ci.rn at I .tat tic respects
of tilts regular army by the manner in whielt they
performed their drill.
Major BOOLI responded on behalf of the army; Com-
mander LVIKETT for the navy ; hI. jar YEATMAN for the
yeomanry ; and Dr. 'Founts and Captain YKATIICII for
the volunteers. _

and in regrading., the Rey. H. DDT said that there
11411 an Improvement fa the funds la the past yeas;
and that the destruction of poultry had not bnon so
great as heretofore. In 1872 they paid £lBO for
poultry, and last year they only paid £153. He had
lirerd that more than one person who, after their bills
for the destruotion el their poubly had been ptld. had
pot down gins, and two totes had been killed by
parsons who bad so soted—{oants}. He would net
mention names, but he thought that that was a custom
that ought to be put a stop to, and be was sure that all
farmers who were friendly to the hoot would do their
best to fat tner that end—(bear. hear).
The remaining toasts int. "The Strangers," pro.
pored by th• Chairman and responded to by Mr. Ka-
Say mer ; "Mr. Press, the huntsmao," by the Rev. H.

posed by Mr. Phelps; and "th. /Agin."

The CHAIRMAN' then proposed the health of the
Lord-Llentenant and magistrates°, the county, tu which
Mr. M. YIE/LIMAN responded.
In giving the toast of the members for the county,
the CHAIRMAN Was glad to Sly that in spite of all the
turmoil and fuss which the elution had ooloolooed, here
hod been no &singe in the representation of Dorset.
Mr. Portman, Mr. Start, and Mr. Ployer bore long'
honoured names, and he hoped they would long continue
to be known apt honoured In the onunty--(applense.)
The other day, at a very happy bunt dinner, Lard
Gianyille, in • very amusing speech to the men of
Kent, said he would back • certain two members of
the late Ministry-one of them 74 years old, and the
other 15 stone weight-to ride against any four men in
the proaent Ministry -(laughUr.) Honors, tho members

what hounds and bunting should be, and how men

did, except, perhaps, Lord Perlman. Bat probably
some might say that had nothing to do with his being

in power, he was expected to tell them this, that, and

what they had done, but the events of the pest few
weeks bad entirely relieves' him of any such reqeire-
ment-(• leugh.) As be erns not in the secrets of the
present Government irity could not expect him to opeok
as tl their intentions. He booed that Mr. Disraeli,
who ono,' did him a good turn by making the eon-
stiturmey a three-amend one, would propose to put
heavy tax on rabbit traps in ell counties' where bonnie
were kept -(laughter.) Sir Richard Glyn had paid him
such high eompliments that he felt quite uneasy, but
they might Orspeud upon it that he Lai the geed of the

di-triat, very much at boort-(laar, hear, and applause.)

he es-nred them that sta long as th. y sent them to

Mr. M. Tzarinas, In propoeleg the health of Sir

said he was a worthy successor of the honoured men
who had peel:veiled him as chief of the hunt-(soplauee.l

late worthy muter had prepared for them-(appleuso.)
But he hoped it wool,' be his (the ohalrman't) endea-
vour not to let that good country go down-(aar,
heir,) Good as the country wan, it had one great
disadvantage, and that was that they had no hunting
country on the west and north-west of the vale. That
was a serious diradvautage. People who lived on the
borders-good for preservers an many of them were-
found it heart breaking work, for people beyond than
had no Into-rest in keeping foxes, and it war, therefore,
very difficult for ma man, howevii anxious, to provide
'pert on the border+, in the vicinity of which foxes
were retarded as vermin and destroyed-(heir, hoar.)
Thera were several gentlemen on the borders who
had taken a great deal of trouble to provide sport, and
it was disappointing to thane to and that the wander'
'rig habits of the fox prevented them keeping him
-
within the safe district. Ile did not think, however,
that spurt lied goer' down in the country ; in some
ports, indeed, it had been rather better than before-
(hear, hear). There was another disadvantage, whieb
was by no meats peculiar to that country, and in one
other countries it was very much worse-he alluded to
the disadvanage of a large and eager Gold- (hear, hear).
It was, no doubt, a great advantage in some respect..
As a master' he was always glad to see • large fled
out; It was always a great pleasure to him, and he
regarded it as a compliment to the country and to him-
self when • large Geld was far mole likely to spoil
sport than a small one, and he was glad to say they
always 'sainted him in keeping the Geld in their proper
plane and in preventing that loss of *port which was
almost a necessity to a very large field. In the mid-
land entities sport before two o'clock in the afternoon
wu almost annihilated by the enormous fields, and •
cheek had to be imposed upon them by keeping the
Geld penned up la one corner of the cover. Now he
had been told that he must adopt that plea In the
Black naeor Vale isoustry-(bear, bear). Very often it
would be • great advantage to do it, but it was a thing
he did not lila to do unless he was obliged to have
recourse to it-(applatute). If, however, he did do it,
he should like them all to remember that he would
have but 0110 !Moat, and Hat we. steeply to give the
hounds a far ()Dana° and the fox a good fair chance
alon-(hear, hear, and applami). There were three
things that he hated, and thus wore rabbit traps,
lumbers, and horses that people could not hold-(bear,
hear, and laughter). Of MI those things, however, he
thought they had little to ootoplain, and he did not
believe there was any county better premised than
Dorset and Somerset, and he could say for himself that
be artalely bad plenty of foxem-LitMliwerh Tbe newts
on the board in the kennels would show that. It war
in the very seum of the country that 'archers and
greyhounds were most destruotivt Some people,
however, who had dogs !thick' were in the habit of
going after four, were not aware of it, acid probably •
little person/Lon or the adoption of 'stronger measures
might result in the removal of (ho offending animals-
(a laugh, and hear, hear) Lurehora were the only
great evil, as far as the ties were coneerned, that they
bad to grantend against, for although rabbit traps did a
certain amount of destruction, still he thought the
levelers were the greatest offenders. The usistsnos
and co-operation be got In the vale was wonderful. The
men who did not like the hunt to go near them arid
who did nut ligo foxes were very few indeed, and they
were of f 0 little 'ilium:toe that their oprontion really
amounted to nothing; the entire of master in that
country, therefore, Wai ore of those very few pleasures
in the world which were very nearly uvalloyel. The
cl4Boolties were so steal' and the gratifiestion so great
that he oonaidered himself the MOIL enviable master
of hounds in &gland-(lood applause).
lie CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of absent
friends, and in alluding to the absence of Mr. Digby,
esti that there was no man they more greatly mimed
both from their dinner and in the field than their late
esteemed and worthy master-(l rad applanar). He
need hardly say that lb wu only consideration for his .
health that prevented him from appoaring among them •
as be used to do, and the marmite ttf remaloing at home
use very much to hhi regret and their, lose-ibur, bear)
(The toast was drunk amid great enthosium, threat
Warty cheers being given for Mr and Mrs Die,y),
After • few words from Mr. Poarmin, in which be
