menced with the late Vh:ales Dickens'. story "A
Christmas Carol," and was fully appreciated by the
salience'. The illusory effects gave great pleasure, and
the scenery and dresses were MAO very good. A faros
at the conclusion was productive of great amusement.
On Tuesday • very pretty English Opera, " Mountain
Sylph" was placed before the public, and in it were
sung "Farewell to the mountains" and 'This magic

that generally seen in Dorchester, and together with
the extraordinary illusory effect produced, formetl
an entertainment of • very agreeable character.

when the Rev. H. Everett, Mr. B. Davis, and Mr.

uRBASI sAIitTART AUTHORITY.
The inspector of nubianoss, Mr. Chick. reported certain
unsanitary matters, such as went of proper closet accom-
modation in Great Western-road, where, iik cartlast
pro-
perty, is only one for 15 Persons. •
A gentlemin present promised to attend to this matter.

said, is out of employment and cannot get any.
Mr. GRIGORT remarked that 1.200 ft. is allowed to •

Referred to the medical officer for report
Toe inspector's report also referred to pig nuisances and
iokine of drains, and necessary orders were made.
Mr. W. Tilley applied for drainage and water supply to
a house in Orchard street. and 111 r. Robert Davis for water
supply to his garden. The latter was • matter of annual
payment.
Mr. Alderman GLIM remarked there aro many persons
who have water supplies to their gardens without paying
anything for R. He paid 134. a_ year for water for his
garden—Mr. firmware : I pay si. 511—but he believed the
surveyor did not know anything about who were to be
charged. He wanted to know who is the responsible
officer, and then he would move for • return of everyone
supplied with water for their gardens, and those who pay.
The surveyor ought to go to every person in the town and
state that everyone who uses water for his garden must
pay for it. Every garden in the town ought to be measured.
and than everyone asked if they used water or not.
The TOWN CLEAR remarked the Surveyor said that last
Friday, when it rained, the waterworks engines were
stopped at two o'clock, as against four when it was dry.
showing that some people must have been watering, and
when it rained they did not.
The MATOR remarked that water is also used On the
roads when it does not rain.
The Town CLERK suggested that every garden should be
taken account of, and every person charged for water.
Mr. E. BURNETT thought this the time to bring forward
the question of drainage. Would it not be possible to
connect the Cornwall Estate property with the system of
drainage? Ile bad seen letters in the papers, and the
Council bad been criticised: but he did net think this
ought to be allowed to goon.
Mr. Alderman CRROORT remarked that before Mr.
Thomas came there was a plan for draining this part. If
the western district were drained the Council could go on
for 10 or 12 years.
Mr. II Srmoens reminded the Council that Mr. Floyer
stated, in answer to a deputation, that he should object
to any more sewage being put in the river.
Mr.Boaxerr. said the people complained they were dunk
out of their houses, and the landlords could not let. He
knew an instance where • landlord had an opportunity of
letting a house, but directly it was said it was not drained
it was refused.
Mr. Aldermen GALTIN said if Loud Boards cannot do
what is necessary without going to the powers above, the
sooner they are dens away with the better.
The Towm CLERK should certainly object to such pro-
perty as that in the Cornwall-road being drained at his
expense.
Mr. Alderman Glit.ene urged the Council to look at the
matter for the benefit of the whole community. Had not
this been the cry for the last three yearn—they were goini
to do something, and he believed that in three years
time they would be as far from • general system as ever.
The matter was deferred.

THZ Boomtown BAND OF Hops. The usual
fortnightly meeting of the members of the above Band
of Hope was held at the new hall, adjoining the
People's Coffee Tavern, on Tuesday evening. The
Rev. if. C. G. Moule waa expected to address the
juveniles, but the preddent (Mrs. Bingham) read the
following letter in the course of the evening :—" Dear
Mrs. Bingham,—l have not forgotten your kind
invitation to me to be present at the Band of Hope
meeting this evening. It proves once more very
difficult for me to be present; but I earnestly hope to
be yet, another Tuesday, sooner or later, with your
Band of Hope; and meanwhile I wish to send to
them, through you, this little message of heartiest
goodwill. I should like to ray a word, something like
• short and cheerful sermon, on the name of the
society, the Band of Ifol e. They ought to think of
both parts of the name. Pint: the band. What
does a band wean' es it not mean • set of people
bound or joined together, tight and fut, to work side
by side, and help each other?—not all abroad and
asunder, but really united, caring for each other, and
making each other strong by loving example? In this
sense I hope they will always be true to their name—
a band. Each young member will think about the
rest, and res olve to help the rest, being regular at
meetings, strict with the pledge, obedient to rules,
and, at mg with it al, loving and friendlike with all
other members known to them. Of course they know
the story of the lotion,: of sticks ! While it stayed
tied together, a bawl, the Mown-I:eat man in the parish
could not break it. When it was untied, and the
sticks parted, all the little boys began to snap the
sticks into bits just an they 'Arwood. Let them hold
together, and make each other feel that they are real
friends, because belonging to the band. Secondly:
the Band od Hope. What • delightful word! I have
read, tsar yowls friends, an odd story of a box, in
which all kinds of happiness were packed up. The
Poor silly person, to whom the box was given, and
who was told to be patient, WAN impatient, and would
peep in directly. Out flow all the happiness, like so
many butterflies, all over the place, and never came
back. But just one happiness stayed at the
bottom, and that was hope hope that things
would yet, some day, he better. And that one
happiness was better thou none, because it stirred up
the poor disconsotate owner of the box to try to make
things better. This is a fable. Now let me tell you
a true anti far better story. A ship was once slowly
sinking from a leak. l'he crew was in despair; they
had no hope. So they became wild and redness ; left
the pumps alone, an.l gave themselves up to wild and
wicked not. On a suolicri there was a cry, " A sail!
• sail !” A ship was coming to their help; they would
be saved. There was hope. And that thought in-
stantly made them return to their duty, wo-k the
pumps and keep afloat till all were brought off safely.
So, in some ways, with your Band of Hope. You are
brought together to try to work against the great and
dreadful evil of drink, that deep sea of wretchedness
and sin where h 0 many drown. Now, remember that
you are to watch, and strive, and pray with hope in
your he:wtt. You must be bright in hope that God
In His holy love on 1 truth wool 1,1• Ifs your efforts ;
hope that He will keep you ste.t-lfast; hope that He
will make your young exatnpleg do good to other
people ,• lope that another doy when you are oiler
you will be much more u.eftil still in this way; hope
that hereatter, by Ills mercy, things will be very
much better in our country--fewer publichouses and
more happy homes, less spent in drink and more in
real annfort and good, more fe ,r of God, and less
yielding to Satan. Only His grace can really do it.
But lie bids mo work while we trust Him. So lon
must work in hope, and be bright and strong. And
may the brightest hope cheer those who work for you.
I close this hasty letter, dear Mm. Bingham, in great
haste. But I shall hope also to make up for it as well
is lean by word of mouth Ore very long.—l JIM, most
sincerely yours, HMI:DLIT Houtz."
To Use Editor.

The Surveyor asked how he warn to deal with the
nuisance of carpet heating near the houses on the Corn-
wall-road, which commences at Sys o'clock in the morn-
ing and sends great clouds of dust into the houses.
Mr. F. Bureftrr said If it is • nuisance to the people it
should he etopped by the police.
The Tows CLNAK thought the people should themselves
summon those whom they charged with making a
nuisance, not the Town Council have to summon every-

Mr. Alderman GALPII4 could not tee how they could go
on • private piece of land ant prevent • man beating •
carpet.
The Surveyor pointed out the authority could deal with
nuisances, as in the case of keeping pigs; but
The TOWN CLUIK replied this was • nuisance detri-
mental to health.
The matter dropped.

Sir,—! have to thank you for the accuracy and com-
pleteneas 1 your report of mys ermon in Fordineton

correction whioh as far as I see, is nee led? I am
quoted mi speaking (under section 7) of thoae who
have "had the blessed work of josOledrinn &ppm" in

and complete when one granted. Purification, on
the other hand, the working of sacred it.fluencee on the

brief but deeply felt expre.ion of strongest and

Sir, —There were 332 el ctors who voted to' Captain
Greville at th , last election. By far the greater poi,
tion of them I imsgine were earnest Liberals—men
who at any rata would do something (I won't aay much
because I am cynical enough to believe that
terested patri..tien is a particularly scare. article) to
disseminate the principles they maintained. What
are they doing ? I w..s told that public attention only
wanted calling to the f..ct of there being no Liberal
club here t have one t•rtn,l immediately. My
Informant, I am strait, was m.re aloguine than
rational in his concluoi,am. Consistently, a onserva-
tire workiog man in an impoesibility ;that I think I
may safely n• ert, although no doubt if a Cons,rva-
tive club Wildt started h. re many working men would
join it. The cause of this needs no particular explana.
don. Cannot, then, atom he found toil. for ivinciple
what others do perhaps for the what of it? l'en good
men would have saved two cities once upon a time.
An equal number may now he the mama of saving
Dor.thester from future Try representation; but they
must be men with a 'Lie n—a mission to do some-
thing beyond merely talking and thinking &bolt what
they would like. In other wonls they must be men
of action, as all pioneers must be to ensure buccess,
and rarely Dorchester is not without a few of this
calibre. I have heard 4 a pribate meeting having
been called, but with what result I cannot say. I hope
the laying of the egg will be followed by the hatching
of the ahioken. It will be a dierrace to the Liberals
of Dorchester if the project be allowed to fall through.

morning, an officer's servant and an assistant at the
school, were found in bed vary much injured.
They were taken to hospital, and during the day •
statement was made that they had both attempted to
break out of barracks, and in doing so had fallen over
the ramparts. They are both in the hospital still, and
Daley is lying in a very precarious state.
Naval, Fonzam,.—The remains of one of the 80.-
cawen boys, named William Briggs, were interred in
the Naval Cemetery on Monday last. The customary
naval honours were oak( to the memory of the de-
ceased. A firing party of Marines and the band of
the ship attended, and a number of the comrades of
the deoeas3ll followed his remains to their lest resting
place. The Rev. H. Payton read the funeral service.
THZ Ocrtots.—The Local Board have very properly
framed a scale of charges to be made by the guides
authorised by them' but a case of over-charging has
been brought to public notice. On Friday lasts gentle-
man was taken up to the prison and back, and accord-
ing to the scale should have charged Bs. 13d. The
guide, however, imposed a charge of 51. on the unsus-
pecting gentleman. The latter happened to fad
out the proper charge, and reported the matter to
the police, when the Is. 61 was refunded.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CINTICCART.—It has been de ided
to hold a united demonstration of Sunday schools in
Portland, to celebrate the centenary of the founding
of Sunday schools. About 100 officers and teachers of
the various Sunday schools gathered at the new
schoolroom at Easton on Tuesday evening. Mr. J.
Roper, superintendent of the Congregational Sunday
Schools, was elected secretary, and it was decided to
invite the c i-operation of the various Church of
England schools on the island. There are about 2,000
children in the variatts Sunday schools, 1,300 of whom
are Dissenters.

BATHING BLicarams —A meeting was held at the
Royal lintel on Friday, for the purpose of forming a
company for providing bathing machines principally
for the use of ladies and children. Mr. Charles White
was elected chairman and Mr. Frank Will. secretary.
A managing committee was also appointed. The sits
selected for • bathing place is close to the Castle. A.
discussion took place as to the kind of machine best
suited for the Oka, and it was decided on the motion
of Mr. Kew, that machines with three compartmenta
bs constructed, to be movable on rails, and moved
according to the tides.

SundaT afternoon, about four
o'clock, a large plot of grass ying between the line
of railway and the ?Jere was disoovered to be on fire.
The conflagration lasted about four hours, it haying,
after considerable trouble, been extinguished by the
ganger of the length and his son. About halt-au-acre
Is destroyed. This was the mischievous act of some
boys, they having been seen to set fire to the grass,
and when the ganger arrived he observed the boys
carrying burning wass to other parts in order to
extend the fire. It might have proved a serious affair,
as the pickled sleepers on the line were no great
distance off, and there is a large wooden hut close
by.
Coturr-Mederuh. —A district court-martial washeld
at the Verne, on Tueeday' for the trial of a private
soldier of the 56th named Banning, on the charge of
desertion. Banning disposed of his regimentals and
attired himself in a pair of black trousers a blue
guernsey, and a cricket cap. He retained his boots,
from which he cut out the number. P.C. Miller met
him on the roo l between Wyke and Charlestown, and
Banning asked the way ti Dorchester. Miller, notic-
ing his military bearing told him he would not get to
it that way, and asked him to aocompany him back to
Wyke. The constable took him to the corporal at
Ferry Bridge, but he failed to identify him; he then
took him t the Verne and found he was wanted. He
WOA at once given up to the regimental authorities.
P.C. Miller certainly deserves commendation for his
conduct.

A letter from Mr. Hankinson wee refereed to the Roads
and Pleasure Ground Committee.
A letter was reed from Mr. (Jules with regard to his
claim for compensation; he sail he was willing t , accept
£26. but he would not taks • teething leas.-11.-iferred to

A letter was read from Mr. Hervey askinT the C nn-
missioners to re-consider the decision they cam, ti last
meeting, and it wag rewired "Test Mr. Hervey be in-
formed that homey place rings in the side of the kerbstone
of the satisfaction of the surveyor."
On the motion of Kr. SwOrge, seconded by Mr.
J6NNINOS, the financial statement tur the year was signed
by the chairman.
Mr. Budgie proposed that the anausl statement be
adopted.
Mr. JEMNINGS seconded, and noticed the great improve-
ment in the book-keeping, and in the reselt of the receipts
and expenditure when compared with the eatimates ; hut
: the accounts are even now far from what they should and
I must be. The "excused and otherwise irrecoverable
arrears of the 15th July rate" should not have been put as
£459 81. 3d., but as £5ll 13i. 21. ; and the " rec .verable
arrears of the December rata" should not have been put as
1.530 he. 101., when it is well-known that half are
irrecoverable. The interest by Treasurer on loans should
have been more clearly stated. As It is • ratepayer would
fanuy they received only .C 153 131. 11. on loans, and £l3l
ISt. ILL 03 some other amounts., or from some other
source. They should have been more explicit over the
144 three items, showing by the addition of a few words
what those lowa were tor. They would, doubtless, have
separated the lags item for establishment expender, via,
£929 4i. 3.1., by placing many of the items under their
proper heads. He had year after year railed attention
to these heavy items. In 18/7 they w.-re £i.769; in 1R75.
£2,505; in 187 d, £2,203; and now £1,837, iuciuding gh9B
for salaries. It would be noticed that the Pleariiire
Grounds cost for nusintenanoe in 1578 £982, in 1579
£BO2, and £B2O doing the past year. The loan account
had now surely reached its legitimsts limit, being, with
interest due, over £72 000. The au-called balsnce she •t
should have been exiim.iied by the cnamittee as • boty,
and collective wisdom might have deciphered what
individual member. and the C erk himself have
failed in. This mycic ace 'nut, he civil, is too pusxling to
refer to in detail here, suffice to say that several items are
incomprehensible. In future tbe loans, both receipt and
expenditure, will be kept quite d stinct, so they would be
able at • glance to see the total curreut receipts and
expenditure. The comparative statement of the last two
rates has been found very useful. The Fintuce Committee
are now investi .fatin 4 t.llO rc mi for the ex !ra expenditure
shown on several iuum duraig the past nine months, tor
though th swim/ on others may excecl them, they main-
tained that no exir expenditure beyond the estimates
should be allowed without, first the veil immend.,tion of
the committee controlliug, or who eh .old control, that
expenditure, and then of the Finance Committee, and so
of the Board itself.
The statement was adopted.

AIACCIDENT TIf I GROVL—On Saturday afternoon
a young man named Lyons, belonging to Wyke, was
riding on the Grove-road, when the hone bolted end
he was thrown, but fortunately was not seriously
bun. A young man named Buckle, assistant
messenger at the prisun, then essayed to mount the
animal, but he too was thrown, his sock was palled
out, and it was feared at the time his lag was broken.
His ear was also badly cut. The horse was ultimately
secured and t.ken back to Wyke. Lyons beyond •
good shaking was not hurt.—Abowt the sane time the
master tailor, Mr. Rodenhurn, was cleaning the win.
