the town would come forward and help by subscrib-

(Animals) Act held an adjourned meeting for further
considering what steps shonlil be taken in the m itter

C.M.T.8.-On Monday evening, April 12th, the
last monthly meeting of the season was held at the
National Scboolroom, Wimborriss, in connection with
the parochial branch of the above society. It was
opened by praise and prayer, after which the Chair-
man (the Rev. It. W. Fairbank) made • few intro-
ductory remarks, awl called upon the Rev. E. E.
llugmore, vicar of St. l'eter's, Parkatone, to give an
address. In the criarse of his remark. he said one
can hardly look at the evil of intenswrance without
seeing that it is an evil; yet at the present time, we
may say, it is not so much to the fore as it has been.
He Iselieved that those who make out the drink bill
annually will .y that it is lens. We nosy take a
little comfort in this, that God has placed tenswrance
work in this coontry, and has placed this Church of
England Temperance Society its the foremost position
in combating with the great evil. No judgment and
administration in the legislative point of view can
make the temptatiim less in the class to which the
publichoww is such • terrible snare. There is n.l
doubt that little circles have an immense influence
upon popular feeling. We'all know that centui ie.
ago intemperance was not considered as a thing that
was disgraceful, but an amiable weakness; but
popular opinirn has hail to be changed considerably
in this, and men have learned to see the sin of
intermwrance, and it is dicing conviction that has
raised men up to look at the work of temperance, not
in a worldly light or point of view, but as work done
for the Master. Mr. Dog PCI en went On to
explain a little book which he had read, which
contained • very excellent leason and moral ;
that it centatineil striking illustrations of the Constant
stirring of two spirits, good and evil, for the mastery
with a man. lie also said those who indulge them.

Clifford Hawkins, of Canton'. was the next to speak,
and said : How can moderate peolile help the great
temperance Call/10. He believed that there were • !
great many moderate men and women who believed
total abstinence to be an excellent thing. but all the 11
while, through medical advice, they have to take !

There was a very meagre attendant*.

Dr. HITCHCOCK said be maw Freat obiectione to the
poles being erected on the right-hand side, where
there Wes • good foot•jach, but he would raise DO
objection to their being placed on the opposite side,
not wishing to stand in the way of any public
work..
The Board de( ided to sanction their erection on the
left side, anil the Surveyor was instructed to Write
to the conipany to title effect.
The Su everoa reported there were some old
skeleton buildinmi, in a very dangerous and tumble-
down oindition, adjoining the footpath leading from
the New Borough, Wimborne, to the Poole-road;
thereupon the CDADDIAN said the MAWS had come
before the Sanitary Board that morning, and the
matter would be attended to.
The Scaveroe reported that he had received the
sum of f:5 from Mr. Paterson, for an allowance
towards the coat of making a diverted read at Corfe
Mullen, during the lowering of the bill by excavating
the gravel ,• and yes eral other small sums for sand
sold from the Board's pits, and had paid the several
amounts into the Board's account at the Bank.

-„
The Suevaeoa also reported that there were same
of money due to the Board from Meninx Frederick
Phillips and William Nicklin, traction engine pro-
prietors, in accordance with agreements with them for
damage by extraordinary traffic, but that he had
been unable to obtain payment from them.
The Clerk was directed to write to the parties
dem Ind ing payment.
Three tendera for new Keinton paving came before
the 11... rd, from Mr. R. J. Culling, Oliver Chalker,
end Meavni. Illeathman and Sons, when that of
Bleatlimsn and Sons WAR accepted.
Tii • CHAIRMAN brought before the Board a corn•
plaint la• had received from the Rev. T. M. Patey
as toe charge made or hits fur gravel, which he had
taken from a pit at Little Canford.
The :birveyor mid the pit in question was the
pr.iia.rty of the C.nford Estate, which he bad already
informiA Mr. Patey, and it WM not therefore a
matter which the Board could deal with. A notice
was also erected in the pit by Mr. Paterson to this

In apploution was read, which was signed by
Colonel and other residents at Culehill and
asking that the Board might see their way
to make a short piece of rood from Merryfield. at
Little Lonnen, to the main road running from Won-
home ii Holt but the Lloard decided they could
not entertain the matter, and the Clerk was directed
o reply accordingly
The CHAINIIAN said he wail pleased to be able to
state that he had roe through the report on the
vari ~,, w main roads in their district with the County
Works Committee at the quarter Seaaions, and •
certificate had been given for each. This was a very
satisfactory state of things for the Board, and eu.
socially so to their Surveyor. Their average cost per
toile of the roads would stand well with any in the
minty.
Mr. JOHN NEWMAN said he was glad to hear the
remarks of the chairman. H. thought their roads
were in a very good state, although the past winter
had been an especially trying ime. It spoke well both
for the Surveyor and the working of the Board.
Mr. H. C. Burr remarked that he desired to sak
the Surveyor to be u careful as he could he in
levelling and re-laying the turf where gravel was
taken out in pasture and down land. This was an
important matter to the tenant, and only right
that it should be done. He was not complaining, but
wished the Surveyor to bear the matter in mind, and
Aee that the men took 11101, rllll,l 111 laying the turf.
Si-acetic said the matter sleitilif have his
careful attention.
