MIND TOOI MORAL—Oa Tuesday evening Mr. W•y,
baker, was delivering bread in the Grove, when he
left Ism horse alone for • short time. The lively auitnal
improved the occasion for uitsohitif by knocking de •n
telt of • well, and breaking • shaft of the cart. How.
ever, °Moors from the Prison lent amiastancs, and no
further mischief was done.

no sound of the men resuming fall work. It is thought
the present short time will go on at least to the end of

being then continued. For, not to mention the capon.

not to allow any stranger to work in the einarries, will,
at this depressing tine, be little regretted by querriers

MURDEROUS ATTACK ON A
DOCTOR AT PORTLAND
PRISON.

On Saturday one of the convicts in the estab-
lishment at Portland oomplained of illness, and,
in the oouree of the day, he was visited by the
doctor, who, however, finding that the man had
no symptoms of sickness, refused to prescribe
for him. The doctor then descended the stair-
case leading to the ground floor, but, when
down about eight of the stairs, he was
struck most violently by a small form that
had been thrown down from the landing above
upon him by the oonvict alluded to, • desperate
fellow with but one eye. The warders were
quickly on the spot, and tbsoonvicit warn at once
secured, and placed in a mil, and the doctor
(Mr. McLean), a resident of the island, doing
duty for the medical officer absent on leave,
who had been knocked down, was taken into
one of the wards, where every possible atten-
tion was paid to him, but, owing to the severity
of the blow, he has in • very precarious state.
