In the Bay and neighbourhood by the fine steamer
Empreos, were patronised very fairly on Good Friday,

arks@ of the opportunity and the fine weather, and
had almost a cloudless voyage. In the afternoon about
160 boarded the vessel in good time, and the weather
remaining entirely rainless, the trip wee much enjoyed,

by the landlord. It appears that he came in after be
had had more than enough, and they refused to supply
him, whereon he became very abusive, and the land-
lord fetched the police to put him out of the bones.—
The Magistrates told the landlord he had acted very
properly in not supplying the man, and they were
very pleased that the landlord of the Nelson bad so
acted. In all such cases they should severely punish
the map, and protect the landlords where they carried
on their business in a proper m usner.—ltandall was

PROMPT' RICOVRBY BY TUC COABTIWARD.—ShortIy
after nom on Wednesday an alarm reached WeY•
mouth that a gentlrinan had been drowned near the
Preston Cosetgnard Station, and the mesreninw,
Boatman Thomas, was quickly accompanied thither
in • carriage by Dr. Rhodes. On reaching there, it
was found that Mr. George Neville, a gentleman in
ill-health, and who suffers much from epileptic Ste,
had been rescued from the water near, and by prompt
treatment wan already much recovered. It aozwars
that Mr. Neville was seen bv Chief Officer James

Hall, Boatman Hill, and Mr. J. Parr, of Leytonstone, I
a visitor, in the water near the Coastguard :Ration, I
and it is presumed that 66 had walked in and tel en
down ma fit. As it mn as possible he was got out, and
was found to be foaming at the mouth, and nearly
insensible. The chief officer very judiciously
despatched Boatman Thomas to Weymouth for assist-
slice, and meantime had the patient treated at once
on the Sylvester system, till the water was got rid of,
and then he was token to the watch-room, warmed
with blankets, a good fire, and restoratives, and a suit
, of dry clothes placed on him, so that when Dr. Rhodes
arrived the patient was soon made comfortable, and
the doctor drove him to his home.
HOLY TRINITY VIISTBT.—This was held SIIIIISII/11 011
Raster Monday, when there were present :—The Bev.
J. D. Addison, vicar, presiding, and the Rays. W. S.
fihuttlewortb, and Dickies, with Messrs. H. Wheeler,
Snook, Polly Hooper, W. M. Thiseit on 416c.—The
Vicar said they were met to appoint churiihwardens,
and before making his nomination he thanked all who
had helped to carry forward the work and service of
Almighty God in the pariah. The clergy had been a
very great assistance to him; the churchwardens had
generously spent their time. In few parishes is the
work carried on with less disturbance, either political
or religious, than in this pariah The service of God
cannot be carded forward so well where dissension is,
either religious or political, and they had been singu-
larly blessed by its absence last year as for many
years pad. A good work is going on bare, and one
sign was that yesterday no leas than 183 attended
oommunion—a larger number than ever before, and
very few strangers were among them. He believed
the congregations had suffered somewhat by the
closing of the bridge ; hut that, of course, was unavoid-
able, and he hoped when it is re-opened they would be
put right again. Thanking Mr. Wheeler and Mr.
Snook for their services dining the past year and many
before, he nominated Mr. Wheeler at vicar's church-
warden.—Mr. Hooper, olre-ving no actual resident in
the district was present except Mr. Snook, proposed
him as parighwarden.—Mr. Thise'ton secooded, and
Mr. Snook was appointed.—Rev W. S. dbuttieworth
proposed that Mr. Pelly Honper and Mr. Thiselton
audit the accounts.—Apeed to, and Mr. Thiselton
moved a vote of thanks to Mrs. Stedmsn and choir.—
Mr. Wheeler was glad to find the offertory had
increased something like £2O Rev. W. Shuttleworth
remarking that, owing to Easter being late, there had
been two more gundaye this verar.—A vote of thanks
to the vicar closed the buainess.
Sprout Causal Swum= —At St. John's, on Good
Friday, there was morning service at 11 a.m . and in
the afternoon the three hours' service from 12 38 t
during which a series of hymns were sung, and
addresses delivered on the mostsole ran events which
the day commemorates,. At 9.30 there was the Litany,
and at 7 p.m. morainic service. On Rester Day, the
services were appropriately bright and joyous, at 8.30
a.m. being early communion, and at 11 morning
service with communion. The anthem was—" They
have taken away my Lord," by Dr. Stainer, the organ
being played with much talent by Mr. Stone. At 3
p.m. was also communion servioe, and at 6 90, the
anthem being the same es in the morning. The
voluntaries on Raster Day were in the m wning—" But
Thou did•t not Leave" (Messiah), and " Worthy is the
Lamb," and in the evening, "I Know that my
Rerleemer Liveth,” and the Hall. luj th.—At Holy
Trinity there was communion service, Tours in F in
the morning, the prayers were intoned by the Rev.
Mr. Lambert, formerly minor =anon of Hereford, and
the venerable vicar, Rev. J. D. Addison' pr. ached. In
the evening prayers were intoned by the Rev. Mr.
Barnes, organising secretary of the Diocesan Choral
Association, and the anthem was the well-known
Gloria, from Mozart's Twelfth Maw, the service
Bennett in F, and the whole went very satisfactorily
Indeed, the organist being Mr. George Thorne. The
Rev. J. H. Dickies preached.— The miseitan-room at
Holy Trinity Schoo's was very elaborately decorated
Mr Easter Day, by Mrs. Perkins, Miss D•wding, and
Mies Morant, and the Rev. W. S. Shuttlew irth
preached.—The little chapel of St. Paul's, "Washing-
ton," was adorned with the text, "Christ ear Par-
over," also with primroses and mosses, and the Rector,
Rev. H. 0. Pigou, preached in the evening.—There
were also excellent services at the other churches; but
we believe the custom of Easter floral decoration is net
favoured there._

Trutt OF FIRI-QUISCHING APPARATUS. The
new pipes having arrived, the police had a trial of
about fi hours on Thursday, with the new couplings,
which were found to answer admirably. A piece of
pipe from Messrs. Merryweather proved to be very
tight indeed, not a drop of water coming through, and
this material appears to be very superior to leather
pipes, which are continually leaking and very dirty to
handle. The three lengths of canvas pipe supplied
by Mr. Norris, of Salford, are very light and portable,
and at sod the highest pressure which mull be put on
them here. At first there was a slight oozing through
of water, which stoxi in drops on the canvas like dew,
but after a very short time, when the water had
worked into the pores of the canvas it became very
tight. There would have been • longer trial; but one
of the joints of the canvas hoes had not been drawn
sufficiently close, this however will be repaired, and
another day the trial will be rammed. The advantages
of the new couplings over the old, appear RO be con-
siderable, as any boy with ordinary intelligence an
couple thrm, whereas if • thread of the old couplings
became beat, the coupling was disabled, or fl there
was a twist in tee leather, it had to be unfastened to
take out the twist, whereas the DOW one works on a
swivel, and a twist can be taken out at once. The
advantage in point of weight is very considerable, as
a man can carry two or three lengths up a ladder,
being about one-third the weight of the old. The new
piping is warranted to stand a p!sesure of 5001 M. to
the square inch, but only 1001 b. Is about the outside
of the pressure generally used, managers of steam fire
e directed not to put 012 more without

When the trucks are fitted up on

Chapelry and St. John'e, no doubt the police will be
able to cope with any fire thet may break out. At
present there are 18 buths of fire hoes in stock.
EASTER DROORATIONS.—St. John's Church was
florally adorned for Hamer eneday, the ladies of the
congregation using much taste and industry. Mrs.
Stephenson's memorial brass, at the west window
seemed to have a woodful of primroses and daffodils,
which were disposed in greet bouquets all around it,
the work being dens by Mies Stephenson, Him Scott,.
and Miss Herbed. The front was • striking object,
the base being entirely covered with mom, In which
were posies of primroses. The carvings were filled
with mom, so as to bring the higher parts strongly Into
relief, and around the bowl was a broad border, of
mess, swinging from which were brae, white roses and
other floral beauties, the bowl itself being filled with
Nature's works from the wood and greenhouse, white
azaleas, stephanotb, and other white blooms typifylog
the innocence of childhood, and strongly contrasted
with the green foliage around, mostly very delicate,
while tall white arenas arose high from the bed.
Among the ladies who worked at the font were the
Missed Day and Mims Stephenson. A cries of red
c mollies was in front of the pulpit, supported by other
adornments around, and the book rest was embedded

credit for adorning the lectern Posies of primroses
set in more, with ferns, and gramme adorned the choir

specially charming, and amongst the ladies occupied in
this part of the church were Mies &MOP Min

Daffodles, ivy, sad launutinas were among the adorn-
ments of the gas standards, arraneed by Miss Dave
and Mies Bragg. Delicious but delicate scents filled
the whole chancel, to which contributed some of the
flowers plentifully bestowed on the reredos. Here
were costly white camellias, disposed in crowns, the
flels were crossed with wreaths of cypress, partly
hidden by posies of primroses, circular designs of red
and white camellias contrasted with the bunches of
daffodils disposed along the window sill above, relieved
by verdure. The decorations were peeeape too
elaborate and profuse to be done full justice to, but
we have, besides, recollections of begonia., "puma,"
and primroses, everywhere primroses, as if all the
woods accessible had been rifled. Among the rest of
the ladies who adorned at. John's, most of these being
MMIon e reredos were :—Miss E. Ravenhill,

pulpit was a cross composed ot stephanotis, rose, and

the communions rails, which were rurally decorated
with primroses and jonquils, were &Alm formed of

Burn MONDAY.—There was nomnildng Me an

when, the day being bright, although rather windy,
incluraioniste began to arrive. The South Western,
Panting extra privileges by its ordinary

brought in c insirable numbers from the erAt bat
the Great Western brought no lens than 23 towhee full
from the Sdmerset dietricra, who noon dispersed over
Portland, the Nothe, the rocks, and a large number
blew away most of their cares on board the &apnea,

hundreds availed themselves of the Easter Monday

INDY-FM(OIMT OILDIS OF ILIIINALBITIO.—Tbe racers
and members of the Weymouth tent of this friendly
society, together with their wives, had their ning
annual tea on Bader Monday, at the Temperance
Hall. There ware not so many present ea was
expected, on account of the weather being so fine, and
the friends of temperance preferring out-door amuse-
ments. About 50 sat down to the cup that e
after which the chair was takes by the Chid Ruler

the tent, when a capital programme of songs, readings,
recitations, he., wee ably -gone through, thanks to
Mr. Davis and his friends for supplying snob an even-
ing's enjoyment. The following was the pre-meow :
—Song, "Little Jessie," Mr. New; .one, Death if

I Snows Or Sono AT HOPE CHAPILL.--A, service of
gong setting forth the life-work of Luther was sung by
the choir, assisted by the Sunday scholars, on Thursday
evening. The service, consisting of reading,,
and music, is mostly original. The dodo, wCasie
to set forth the work of the Reformation. wee admir-
ably carried out. A graphic sketch of Luther's life
and work was broken lido fragments, and the readings
skilfully interspersed among twenty hymns, anthems,
solos, and choruses, the whole of which were well
rendered on this occasion. Specimens of Luther's
own work. added greatly to the effectiveoess of the
service. The card " Give Heed, my Hdrt," written
by Luther for his little son Hans, well sets forth
Luther's own early years when he sang cards with
other boys In the streets of Eisenaoh. Lei tier's hymn
and the Old Hundredth reminded the swamies of thelr
indebtedness to the great Reformer for some of our
grandest Psalm tune.. The solo "Who is this, so
Weak and Helpless," was rung very sweetly by Miss
S. Carter. The tenor solos were well rendered by
Messrs. Griffin, jun., and C. Crocker, especially that
entitled "0 Luther, God hath Need of Thee." The
bass solo in the anthem "To God Alone," which was
sung by the men in unison, was very elective, and in
the anthems "How Beautiful " and "A Voice from
Heaven" Miss May Freeman sang with great sweet-
ness and expression. The thunderstorm which broke
on Weymouth just before the advice bides prevented
the assembly of a large audience, and aanouneensests
were made to roped the performance on Wednesday
evening (yesterday), so that those who were disap-
pointed on Thursday last might have the pleasant of
attending, and also of oontribut.ng to the lands of the
Sunday School Library of Hope

The special convened meriting of a delegate, from the
courts within 10 miles el Weymouth, for the purpose
of nominating the Executive Council of the Order, was
held in the Council Chamber, on Wednesday, at one
o'cl uk. [he meeting was called together, and the
credentials of the delegates were oollect.d by the
D.C.R. and D.S.C.R., after which the District Secre-
tary, Bro. W. C. I'. Rummell, was unanbaonsly chosen
as chairman of the meeting, and Bro. G. B. Symonds
as secretary. The delegates then proceeded to elect
the 48th Executive Council, and Bro. W. C. T.
Houmal was proposed, and unanimou•ly chosen as the
High Chief Rtnger of the Order for 1881 and 1889 the

THE BANQUET
Took place the same evening, at the Weymouth
Restaurant, where the Mayor (Bro. R. N. Howard)
presided, supported by Mr. Councillor Nang* Mr.
K. M. Devenish, the High Chief Ranger elect, (Bro.
W. C. T. Hounsell), and most of the members of the
High Court elected, as well as members from the
various courts in the Weymouth United District,
which imam lam courts from Cormouthe to Portland.
The banquet was given by the incoming Executive
Council, who had been Moat day elected, and Host
Cooke provided an elegant and substantial repast.
Among the delegates present from courts outside the

( Winfrith), 'rasher, (Portland), Mitchell,. iPurtland).
The Mar 08, gave the usual loyal toasts, Mr. Efounmil,
jun., accompanying with appropriate music en the
piano. The "Bishop and Clergy," and the "Army,
Navy, and Volunteers followed, the chairman rejoiciog
the Navy is need to keep peace instead of breaking it,
The Volunteers are so important that their dress is
being assimilated to that of the Arany, and on that
fore we shall have to depend in days to come.
Bro. CHARLES Jgrrsar, Independent Order of
Odrifellows, Sergeant of B. Company, responded, and
said the corps is in a flourishing condition as to
numbers, but wants officers. He was surprised that a
neighbouring island should come to Weymouth for
two officers for their company of artillery, and yet
Weymouth Volunteers are in want of officers, like an
Or ler of Foresters without a High Chief Ranger.
The Onanthas gave "Success to the Ancient Order
of Foresters." It had prospered for many years
entirely by the voluntary principle and freedom oi
thought. Everything in connection with it is extremely
good, for it is the means of raid to the working
classes, and has taught them to depend upon them-
selves, and there is nothing better than that. Is order
that it should mooed it is absolutely neesseary there
should be a good Executive, and this Order would
never have succeeded had it not been well !rowelled ;
therefore, he coupled with the toast "The Executive
Council." (Applause.) He wait very pleased that the head
of the Order had been selected from this town, and that
one who had taken • very large part in the w 'eking
for many years, and had taken the gmishoot interest in
it had been chosen to the post of High Chief Ranger,
and it most have been • pleasing duty to elect on. so
worthy to fill that office. With the toast he coupled
the health of the H. C. R., Broths" Houma
(Applause.)
The WC R. ELECT returned thanks. When thee
first applied for the honour of haying the 11.0.11„ at
Weymouth, he had no idea of being elected to fill the
highest post in an Order of 385.000 financial memben,
the largos' friendly "misty in the world; but be bad
been chaffed when at Dublin that he was the coming
man for Weymouth, sad when they auccesded had
been told at Northampton he should be H.C.R. He
trusted he should give satisfaction to every member.
There would be • great deal of respomdbil ty, not only
on himself but on the IMMO brethren elected on the
Executive Council. Bat be truted to give up the
reins of Government untarnished, * when they were
received. 'Ph* Order had increased 13,000 members
during thg pad year, and is now the largest friendly
society in the world. (Applause.)
The CHAMIILH gave " The Weymouth United
District." hoping it would prosper. (Applause.)
Bro. Dover responded, saying eleven yaws ago the
district was very small, numbering only 303 or 400,
wherein now it has over 1000 member', and the
Increase was principally owing to the exertions of their
newly-elected H.O.R. (Applause.) Weymouth bed
reason to be proud of him, and of the other &olive
officers, and he wee glad to see the bone and *sew of
the old members present, who had put their shoulders
to the wheel, and got the High Court to be held at
Wry mouth.
"Visiting Brothers" and "Kindred Societies* wee
next given, and Mr C. Jeffery responded for the
Olidfellows. Bro. MOOTS for the A. 0. Sitettiterand
Bro. W. T. Roberts for Court Progress,
Bro. Jeffery having, from the example of the Odd.
fellows' A hLC. exhorted the Foresters tostody unity.
Bro. Cosy sang :—" Let Brotherly Love continue"
The CH know gave "The Borough Members," who
always take the modest interest in friendly societies,
and do their best to attend at these meetings, if within
a redeemable distance. (Applause, and musical
honours.)
Mr. flonnillor NANGLI Tomcods'''. reeirkilig Mr.
Edward. is now in Wsymouth—(renewed apPlaWA)—•
but having only called in on a journey, they could
hardly exnect him to attend; but be would be much I
gratified by the laudatory way in which they had
spoken of him. As to his coadjutor, Sir Frederic
Johnstone, it was to his advantage and every.
one's advantage, to take an interest in these societies,
which teach men to help themselves, and which may
be considered one of the greatest pillars of the state.
Enlarging eloquently upon the power and knowledge
gained by them societies., who are some of
the greatest capitalists, and who have been
guided towarde wonderful ends in dealing with their
finances, Mr. Hengist felt sure they would not fall
back. but would enhance still further the power and
