fisheries if a deputation went up to examine the fishing

was held on Wednesday evening at the Bank-buildings

W. R. Waugh, J. Trafford. and W. Lewis. The Rev.
J. Trafford was chosen President, Mr. Roper vice-

recent examination of Sunday scholars, the Rev. E.
Bolton was not satisfied with the result as far as to the
Weymouth scholars, only almit half of those who
applied for papers having gone up, and e•ont halt of
those succeeded, while Portland @shoal brought IF

with the strictness shown at Gloucester-street, which

A ASH HORSE DISEASE.

A disease of a fatal character has recently prevailed
among the hones belonging to Mr. Hicks, of Warren
Farm, Wooham Walter, Exeter. It appears that in
the latter part of February one of two oohs pastured
with some beasts near the farmstead was found down
In an adjoining yard and incapable of riming. Mr.
EUis, veterinary surgeon, of Malden, was called in,
and regarding the case as one of paralysis, had the
animal placed in slings. In the course of the follow.
log day the horns became perfectly helpless, and was
set at liberty. Ultimately he showed signs of cerebral
disturbance, and died after the lapse of five days.
Since then five or six others of the working horses
have been attacked, and of these two have died, and
two others are now seriously iIL In all cams the
malady has assumed the form of spinal paralysis. It
I. sudden in its onset, and endures for from five to
eighteen days or more. Up to a short time prior to
death the stricken animals feed well, and do not
Disinfest any serious constitutional disturbance.
Approaching dissolution is marked by extreme
restlessness and excitement, culminating in sleep and
and semi-unconsciousness. The flesh of one of the
victims given to a dog produced paralysis of the
extremities, on amount of which he had to be
destroyed. It is also stated that large numbers of
sparrows having partaken of the blood drawn from
one of the sick animals, became paralysed in their
wings, but retained full command over their lags. A
sow was also taken ill about the same time, and three
of her young ones died suddenly after losing all power
of movement. Mr. Hurrell, veterinary surgeon, Of
Southminster, was called in in consultation with Mr.
Ellis, and finally Professor Axe, of the Royal
Veterinary College, was sent for. The matter is now
under Investigation. In some of its features the
disease appears to be allied to anthrax, but in its
course and duration it differs widely from that
diaorder.—dgricasituraZ Gamete.

FOOD A. 1113 DRUGe ACT.
The next buainess was to consider a further
uouvannication from the LocalaGovernment Board as
to the carrying out of this Act.
Mr. HmaaY Srmizierne said SS they remembered the
Council had beton generally of opinion that they were not
bound to furnish samples, and accordingly they had
-oot answered the letter. Since that, however, he had
received another letter from the Board, in which they
called attention to their "letter respecting the admin.
iatradn of the Sale of Food and Drug' Act 1875, and
requesting that the Board might be furnished with a
reply to their commiinication." He (Mx. Symonds),
supposed it was simply a wish on the part of the Local
coivernmeed Board to ascertain the state of things in
the town.
Mr. Arnica Loce suggested that they should
simply reply that the Council had not any reason to
suspect any persona, but that they were perfectly
prepared to carry out the provisions of the Act when
anything came before them.

ME TRANS VAAL PEACE.

NE WCASTLE. APRIL 9.

A large number of castle are reported of outrages
committed by the Boers in the Transvaal. Many of
the English settlers who have returned there since the
conclusion of peace have found their farms occupied
by the Boers, whose behaviour is described as
generally unbearable. EV3O at Newcastle they loudly
express their intention of taking up arms should any
portion of 'Transvaal torrit my be retained by England.
The general impression throughout the country is that
It will be impossible for peene to be maintained
permanently. The younger Boers are inclined to
disagree with the views of Mr. Joubert.
It is asserted that the Boers refuse to allow the re-
construction of the telegraph lines beyond Coldstream.
A moat enthusiastic reception was accorded to
President Brand on his return from Natal, his arrival
being made the occasion for great public r-joicings. A
triumphal arch was erected on the route leading to his
residence. Rtplying to addresses presented to him by
the Dutch and English inhabitants, Mr. Brand
expressed his firm conviction that the peace concluded
between the British Government and the Triussvaal
Boers would be the means of uniting all the nations of
South Africa in the bonds of peace and friendship.

THE CALSIIDARIL

Mr. H. B. Hinnurros, on behalf of the Governor
of Her Illajisty'a Prison, c mplained of a difficulty
whi. h he had experienced in preparing the calendars
of prisoners both at th • quarter sessions and e the
usszes, owl it Ispeared to slifficolty originated from
a default in carrying out one of the st sn ling orders of
the Court. It seemed tmanding Order 325 had not
been carried oat, and that clerks of the luet.ces of the
various divisi .ns did not send in the notices nf prisoners
admitted to bail until ao near the day of the .-esedone
or uprises that the governor was not ab e to include
their names in the calendar. On the present occasion,
after he had prepared the calendar and had it printed.
! the names of two prisoners were seat to him, who were
admitted to hail RO lour ago as January last.
The Clerks of Peace were requested to communicate
' wi h justices' clerks, pointing out to them the advise,.
bility of sending in the notices aa soon after bail was
I accepted as possible.
