HOLLOWAY'S OINTWENT AND PILLN. -A lure for
Abscesses, Piles, Fistula, and Sores of every description.—
The very PY aidactory results arising from the use of this
Invaluable i ointment when patients have been suffering
from any of the alsove &winters, have induced the Medical
Profesaion to introduce it into the hospitals and their
private practice, and in many instances where the sufferer
was considered ineuraide. Holloway's Ointment in con-
junction with his Pills has healed the most desperate
cases. These medicines arc also unequalled for the cure of
scrofula, scurvy, and all diseases of the skin: the cures
they effect are not temporary or imperfect for their purify-
ing powers bring about a marvellous and most beneficial
change in the whole system, and enable it, with renovated
powers,_to resist future attacks of the same disease.

THE DORSET COUNTY EXPRESS AND AGRICULTURAL GAzErrE, TUESDAY, JULY 6, 1875
hits.

Nr. FLOTIIR said that no evidence bad been produced .
against the fitness of the climate of Weymouth. One
advantage it had, which couli not be denied, was that it
was not half so far from London as Dartmouth, whilst it
was considerably more accessible by railway. Its suitable-
ness for boats was secured by the Portland Breakwater.
He hoped his right hon. friend would giso the matter a
little further consideration.
Mr. BRUCE said that nothing had been said or read to
show that any of the sites mentioned were apecially suited
for • naval school. In Portsmouth the enacts would be
surrounded by all tho associations of their future profes-
sion. As to health, the mortality tables for Portsmouth
were as low as those of auy town in the kingdom. Stoges
Bay would present nearly all the advantages required. It
was the opinion of the best naval authorities that the boys
should have easy access to the arsenals.
Sir F. PERKINS wished to know whether the First Lord
of the admiralty had visited Southampton—(a laugh). The
climate wee moot salubrious, and Southampton Water was
peculiarly suited for boat exercise.
Sir J. KENRAWAY reminded the House that, in spite of
the stigma cast upon the climate of his native county, It
had been the birthplace of the greatest naval heroes that
England had produced.
Mr. STACIVOLE cordially supported the motion of the
lion. member for Weymouth, because it was is, worded as
that one or two places in Ireland might lie included
amongst the localities suited for a naval college—
(laughter).
Mr. GascitEs said that the right hon. gentlenian at the
head of the Admiralty had produced only the evidence on
one side. For himself, having heanl the evidence read, he
was bound to express the opinion that the salubrity of the
climate of Dartmouth had not been satisfactorily eats,
blished—(hear, hear).
The House divided—

first he was opposed to is, and e oldY gav wa I
when it was arranged to build ego 300
feet above the level of the sea. It does not
seem to augur much success to begin by placing
the home for boys to be trained for the sea as
far removed from the water as possible. We
hope that after the division of Friday night, the
Government will be induced to re-consider the
subject, and if they do, we believe they will find I
the Dorsetshire coast the most suitable locality
I they can select.
The mackerel season off our coast, now in fell
tide, has indirectly caused the death of a Wor
mouth man, under very sad circumstances. During
the work of hauling in the net:, and the subsequent
packing of the WI, large quantities of beer are sup-
plied to the men; and, in the end some of them
become helplessly intoxicated. A man named Meaden
was with a fishing party at Wyke on Friday. He
drank frequently and deep, and when others came
along the beach to Weymouth, after i p.m., he lagged
behind, and seems ultimately to have sat down over-
come with drink. It rained heavily all night, and
just before three o'clock in the morning a coastguards-
man found the man " sitting against a bank smiling."
He was in a helplos state of drunkenness, awl
when spoken to maundered about his hat and
that he could not to without his fish. A number
of mackerel were found wrapped in his shirt which
he had taken off for that purpose. He
was carried to the police station and every means
taken to restore him, but the intoxication ended in
convulsions and death. It is a shocking case; and the
explanation is given by another helper " the most
work is done when people are most drunk." That
this should be so is a terrible stain on our boasted
civilisation. For greed men will supply the stimulant
that makes their fellows do most work, and the poor
creatures themselves drink and die.
The Rev. Edward Hugh Moberly, son of the
Bishop of Salisbury, and late curate of St. Thomas,
Salisbury, has been appointed a minor canon of Salis-
bury Cathedral, in the room of the Rev. 11. W.
Pullen, now chaplain of the Alert in the Arctic

TDB DAT AFTITIL
On Friday, as might be expected, there was a little
merry-making at the Harbour amongst those who had
competed in the various events of the previous day. friend
met friend, and talked over the success of the one and
the defeat of the other; "if thet boat had tacked a little
sooner, she would have stood a good chance;" another
tacked too soon : one man polled too strong, and another
not strong enough, and so on. Various pinta of beer and
various pipe 4 of tobacco were enjoyed, and out of this
arose the desdre to have • little more fun. No sooner was
it suggested, then acted upon; and very speedily it WIWI
decided to have some athletic contests; their prowess on
Use waves had already been proved, their capabilities on
the land should lie. Preparationa were made, and •
numerous party isson assembled ii, the Marsh; the groond
woe marked out; flags were placed, the athletes were
suitably attired, and the sports commenced, • gun being
final as the signal for starting. There were running
matches, jumping in tacks competitions, gte, dte., and
although the prises were not large, Lot were got up
amongst those present, yet honour was at stake, and the
roost strenuous efforts were put forth. The sports com-
mis nced about lialf-past welve o'clock, and were kept up
with zest for souse little time, when there Ka& again an
adjournment, and friendly "chaff " at the expense of the
unsuccessful ones. In the evening, there were a few 'a he
nut feeling exactly satisfied, we duppose, with the position
they had occupied in the races of the previous day deter-
mined to have another trial, awl there was a rowing
match between three two-oared boats; we doreeaY all ore
now satisfied, that the best men or the best boats had the
bi..‘t places; and when they wished each other "geed
night " on Friday it was undoubtedly, with mutual under-
standings as to what each would do another year in the
way of taking prizes.

AN ARSOLUTE FAILURE.

Surely the Hon. Mr. Stanley (says the W—orGl) was nnt
put up by the Premier to speak on the Regimental Ex.
changes Hill I Mr. Disraeli, at. time when be hail fewer

late Lord Derby, awl for one refuse to believe that he
would repay ancient favours by exercising his authority
in the direction of putting up his add friend's 1.011 l hi speak
before a crowded !louse. It was a painful exhibition,
relieved only by the courage with which the gallant
captain persisted in the hopeless attempt. "I think, sin"
said the lion. member nervously, turning over a large
sheet of notes he held in his hunt, awl which developed
a remarkable propensity for presenting themselves upside
down —" I think, that is, I would venture to day—(pauw).
Now this question is one in which a colonel, or, I might
soy, a major might—that Li. supposing his regiment wets,

that a zua:Or or. colonel—item./ but, (Prolonitcd
Pause) "an Stanley, on," was audiWy whispered from
his side. But it was no n 0... wit that Captain Stanley
del not try, for he held on gallantly amid the syn.p.thi..
ing silence of the House, once broken by a cheer, when he
frankly threw himself upon its forbearance and pleaded
inexperience and inability. ' I have come to an

As a matter of mathematical exactness, it mast be
observed that he bad already come several. Perhaps
he meant that this was an end hl his oratorical essays;

of ideas has nut been seen in the Rouse during the present
