I parish—something leas than two miles. It seems
' that the ordinary outlay for repairs is £8 a mile
per annum' so that the state of the turnpikes
may be judged front nearly five times that
amountbeing ordered, a sum which, however, the
Surveyor of the trust declared to be insufficient.
The Turnpike Trusts are all coming to an end,
and the bondholders who have but a sorry
return for their capital, naturally enough spend
as little on repairs as they possibly can. And
while sympathising with them to some extent,
we cannot overlook the fact that most of the
Trusts have been continued far beyond the
original tenn granted, and that the chief contri-
butors, at any rate, have been benefitted
indirectly by a good road through their districts.
Be that as it may, public necessity is paramount,
and as part of the Bridport road is declared
"dangerous, the justices could not fail to order
that immediate steps should be taken to render
it safely passable. The Highway Boards work
admirably, and although throwing upon them
the repair of the turnpikes, with an increased
rate on all in the district rather than a toll upon
the actual users of the road, seems a somewhat
rude and inequitable proceeding, we believe that
the advantage gained by uniform good manage-
ment will amply repay the slight additional cost
to the ratepayers.
The appointments of Overseers of the poor for
the ensuing year are now being made by the
justices at petty sessions, and Dorchester
division is distinguished by having two female
Overseers Mrs. A. E. Symea for Longbredy, and
Mrs. Mary Groves for Winterbonio Steepleton.
We cannot doubt that the judgment and
business-like qualities necessary to the conduct
of a farm, indicate the jawsession of all the
qualifications requisite for this parochial
office. But, if a woman is fitted fir a position
which concerns the oversight of the poor and
questions of rating, and if the law renders her
liable to perform such public duties, why, the
question suggests itself, should she not partici-
pate in the choice of members of Parliament I
Why S• Wu believe there is no valid reason
against the exercise of the franchise by widows
and spinsters, who either carry on business or
occupy houses, laying rib.* and subject to all
the laws and customs of the realm. The dis-
abilities of women in this matter of Parliamen-
tary representation, and also in regard to their
exclusion from the practice of medicine, ought
no longer to exist. They are just as capable of
judging wisely in the selection of members of
Parliament as men ; and, although sonic may
sneer at " she-doctors," any unprejudiced mind
will agree that prima facie a woman is the most
fitting person ti attend upon those of her own
sex and children, and we believe that it exami-
nations for degrees were open to them, many
would qualify for the profession, and in it find
a wide sphere for usefulness and honourable
means of earning their livelihood. Prejudice
and vested interests may for some time longer
exclude them, lint female doctors a few years
hence will we believe be not more uncommon
than female overseers.
The nomination of candidates for the repre-
sentation of Bridport took place yesterday, when
Mr. It. Tucker and Dr. Hay championed Sir
Charles Whetham, and Mr. Ralli was proposed by
Mr. Gundry and Major Swain. The erractic Mr.
Norfolk failed to secure the requisite number of
nominees, and it is well his candidature should
1 end thus, for he is :o0 diffuse a politician to
win the support of any party, and offering him-
self at Bridport without any requisition from
electors or local support was certainly a mad
freak. The two candidates before the con-
stituency will fairly test the opinions of the
electors. Mr. Ralli is a very moderate Liberal,
quite unknown to the constituency, and his
being a member of tau Greek church is used as a
; scare to orthodox P?otestants ; while Sir Chartist
Whethain is of Briuport, a self-made man and,
as to politics,althoigh he dissents from Mr.
view of the condition of the navy, and thinks
the Regimental Eichangte Bill a useful measure,
there is naught of old Toryisin about him, and
he would even amend the Ballot Act by pro-
hibiting cauvassim. The important difference
between the two candidates is this—that one
would give an independent support to Mr.
Disraeli, and thi. other to the Marquis of
Hartington--one would perpetuate a Conserva-
tive W • try, the other would aid the return to
power of the Lbentl party. It is for the
electors of Itridjort to decide. If they have
had e 11111111 l of political and fiscal reform in the
direction pursued by Mr. Gladstone, and desire
to " rest and be thankful," they will vote for
their Ito 11111 l red townsman, Sir Charlie' Whetluun ;
but, if they regard Constitutionalists, Conserva-
tives, and Tories alike as • • 'ail to political
progress and religious and civil liberty,
they will give their support to Mr. Ralli, satisfied
that in Parliameat he will vote right, and
trusting that the more they know of him person-
ally the more they may like him. The electors,
whatever their views, can record their votes
freely under the Ballot, and we hope the issue
will be cheerfully acquiesced in by the constitu-
ency, • without the use of any hard words or
arousing any ill-feelings.

THE PENGE MURDERS.
Fredenck Hunt wax commitnid for trial to-day (Monday)
on the charge of murdering his wife and child at renge.

DEATH or MR. MARTIN, M.P.
Mr. John Martin, Ml'. for Meath, died this (Monday)
morning at Dromaline, near Newry, where Mr. Mitchell
expired, in whores cause he was greatly interested and for
the death of whom he deeply grieved.

I:Massy COUNTY lIIINTITA I. —Early on Sunday morning
Martha Frampton, the poor woman who whilst in a fit
fell into the fire, died from the dreadful burns then
received. Her death was from exhaustion. On the same
day another case of burning was admitted into the
hospital which is of a most serious character. A little girl
named Eliza Hall, from Waddock, near Moreton, only
ten years of age and very delicate looking, whilst blowing
the tire with the bellows, allowed her dress to become
ignited. She was soon in a flame. The unfortunate
child ran upstairs to her mother, who succeeded in sub-
duing the tire, but not until the little girl had sustained
Shocking burns on both legs and the lower part of her
body. She is under the care of Mr. Tudor, who consider*
her syniptoms enough to cause the gravest anxiety. Three
such serious cases of burning totally unconnected with one
another being admitted into the Institution within so
short a space of time, is unprecedented in the annals of the
, hospital.
Rasta NDAY.—The festival of Easter was marked at
All Saints by decoration of the church with spring
flowers, through the combined efforts of ladies belonging
to All Saints and to Holy Trinity, and the result was very
pleasing. In the chancel over the reredos was a large
illuminated text, "The Lord is risen indeed," and around
the walls a light string course of greenery studded with
bunches of daffodils. The heads of the areading at the
east end were outlined with foliage, anti had the caps and
points of the arches marked by bright yellow blooms
itouquets of flowers set off the chancel stalls; the reading
desk was adomed by wreathing* studded with priniulaa,
and the pulpit had headings decked with alternate
bunches of primroses and violets. Sacred symbols formed
in flowers were prominent in front, that on the pulpit
being an elegant Maltese cross of purple violets, with a
bordering of primroses, and a rich crimson eamelia in the
middle. The organ was decked with primrose.. .n.l in ,
the window splays, which were laiol with muss, were
placed emblems of eternity, the Trinity, the sacred
monogram "I. H. 5.." a St. George's cross particularly
effective in the east window od the south transept, str.
In the west window was the word " Alleulia.' The font
was completely covered with spring flowers of all kinds,
and was redolent of sweet oslours as well as pleasing
to the eyes. At all the service, there were largo
congregations, and the hymns and chants were of an
appropriately joyous character. The old Easter hymn was
sung both here and at St. Peter's. In the afternoon Mr.
T. H. Morgan played as the openins voluntary "I know
that ley Redeemer liveth (llesaiaA), and those were the
won's of the Rev. IL Everett's text. Ile pointed out that
belief ha the resurrection is the foundation of the Catholic
faith, from which springs all our hopes for eternity, and
that itch bl lead to the transforming if our lives into har-
mony with the will of Christ. At St. Peter's in the evening
the Rev. K W. Pears preached from Joshua x., 21. 25,
describing the discomfiture of the live Kings who made
war against Cifoomii, and the captains of Israel putting
their feet on the Kings' necks by direction of Joshua.
The foreaclier, referring to Joshua as a type oof Christ,
observed that by !Ili death and resurrection Christ had
overcome sin, death, the world, satan, and hell, and, by
faith in Him, his people also triumphed. At East For-
dington the evening sermon was preached by the Rev.
0. *rile. . . .

EASTER % LsTRIES, -On Monday the usual vestries were
held. At fluty Triaitu, hell in the Infant Schoolroom,
there were present- The theism (Rev. 11. Everett), pre
-
Aldine, Mr. K. Davis, Mr. E. Burnett, Mr. G. Hawkins,
Mr. A. Atkins. Mr. Gould awl Mr. Churchill. The
Rector askiel Mr. Davis to act again as his churchwarden,
saying he was sure they could net do without him at this
particular crisis when they had such an arduous work in
hand. Mr. Burnett was also re-elected, on the motion of
Mr. Ilawkine, seconded by Mr. Atkins, Messrs. C.
Parsons and IL Ilawkins were re-noruinatedsidesniem and
the vestry broke up amid congratulations on the unity
prevailing in the parish.-At Si. Peter's there were present
-The Rector (Rev. E. W. Pears) presiding, Mr. I:. J
Andrews, Mr. W. burden, Mr. H. W. Hodges, Mr. O.
Pouncy, and Mr. Ilaskett The Rector n 1111 l inated Mr.
Andrews as his churchwarden, and Mr. Dundee was re.
elected on behalf of the parish on the motion of Mr. G.-
Pouncy, seconded by Mr. 11. W. Hod gee. For si.lesmen
the gentlemen named were Mr. It. W. Hoilges for Mr.
Andrews, and Mr. T. Coombs for Mr. Durden. The
Rector expressed his thanks to Mr. Denten for his
efforts to satisfy the parishioners in the matter
of seats, and Mr. Denten Kahl he was very glad to do
anything he could for the comfort of the parishioners.
Here again five minutes sufficed for the business, and it
was done with unanimity and goodwilL -At AU Saints
there were present the Rev. H. F. Jones (rector) presiding,
Mr. H. Lock, Mr. J. Galpin Mr. Edwin Bascombe, Mr.
D. Greening, Mr. J. Drake, itr. W. Osmond, Mr. W. 11.
Bradley.-The rector nominated Mr. H. Lock WI his
warden.-Mr. J. Galpin proposed, and Mr. O. Greening
seconded, that Mr. W. Slade be the parish warden, and
it was carried.-Mr. Lock nominated Mr. E. Bascombe as
his sideman, and Mr. G. Greening was appointed Mr.
stades sidesiman.-Mr. J. Gilpin said that since they last
met there had been a change in the organist, and he pro-
posed that the appointment of Mr. J. Robinson, junr.,
be entered on the minutes--The Rector said be certainly
must object to do anything of the kind. He had exercised
his right in appointing Mr. Robinson, and if any
parishioner felt aggrieved he might take such steps as
he deemed necessary to upset that appointment.- Mr.
Galpin expressed his surprise and regret that the Rector
should take up ouch a poeition. -The Rector said he had
nominated Mr. Robinson, junr., under a stamped agree-
ment terminable by three months' notice on either side,
but he did not render himself liable for his salary-Mr.
Galpin said he did not know wlutt effect that might have,
or how far he had the right to appoint without reference
to the vestry, but he was anxious that they should act in
harmony, and therefore proposed that the appointment be
entered on the usinutes.-The Rector: I decline to do it;
if anyone thinks it illegal he may take steps to upset it -
-Mr. Galpin insisted that his preposition " that thie
vestry sanctions the appointment of Mr. J. Robinson,
jimr., as organist" he entered. -Mr. Drake seconded the
motion. -The Rector asked what had the vestry to do with
it L-Mr. Galpin pre.inuedi they had something, author had
to pay liiin.-110 Rector said it did not follow they had a
right to no 11l ill ate him.- Mr. Oalpin said he came there
merely to bear testimony to Mr. Robinson's services and to
show that they were appreciated by the parish he wished
them to concur in his appointment. -The Rector asked
what ne.l was there for the vestry to say any thing al.ou t it.
-Mr. Delphi said Easter Monday was the principal day of
the year fir transacting parochial business, and he
thought it their duty at that time to express their views
as to any matters which came up in regard to parieh
affairs. Ile again asked that his proposition, which had
been duly seconded, be recorded. Ile did not do this in
opposition to the Rector, but to /thew the concurrence of
the parish. -The Rector : Why notice it at all 1--Mr.
Galpin: To show we are in accord with you as to the
appointment, and anxious to second your endeavours.
I therwise it might appear you had appointed Mr.
Robinson without any responsibility and that the parish-
ioners .ildect.l hut did not speak out I wish to show
the parieh approve what has been dune, and I hope it will
pees with nothing but cordial good feeling.-me Rector:
What is the neml of anything of the sort, if the appoint-
ment lies with the Rector, and he does not choose to leave
it to the vestry 1 I did leave it at one time to them, but
I can't may I gut MallY thanks for it. I declined to leave
it to the vestry this time, and appointed the Organist
myself under a stamped paper. If any one thinks it
illegal, let him take steps to upset it, But if I have done
nothing but what I am justified in doing, it is not for
the parishioners in vestry to express any opinion
about it, any more than if I had appointed a domestic
servant for niyself. --Mr. Galpin said he was very
sorry to hear the Rector express so strongly such a
view of parochial matter*. he thought the parish-
ioners were right in taking an interest in the con-
duct of the service of the church, and again pressed
the recording of his motion. -The Rector then read-
That the appointment of Mr. .1. Robinson. junr., as
organist, by the Rector be appreved ; and objected that
it WWI • sort of acknowledgment that the vestry had the
right to interfere-Mr. Bradley said it was customary for
vestries to appoint organists-The Rector nail in another
parish of the town it was not done-Mr. Galpin said in
that parish the Rector paid the organist himself. He was
sorry this difference had occurred as it tended to isolate
the Rector from his parishioners. The Rector had taken
upon himself to do what he thought right -and he (Mr.
ifalpin use ni.l, Cez., to dispute it, but only desired an
expression of approval of the iteeointinent to be recorded
-The Rector said he was very desirous a Lebo; in
harmony with the porishioners; he did not like'quarred
ling.-Mr. Galpin remarked it was sail they did not work
harmoniously, aii.l he wished to show they did. As long
as things were conducted in a right spirit they would be in
harmony.-The Rector: There axe had people everywhere.
--Mr. Dalpin : We may differ without lwing hsuh. To let
this vestry In.l without recognising Mr. Robinson as
organist would not be acting right as parishioners. -
Finally the Rector consented to enter the motion in the
' following form :-Thet the epprobation of the parishoners
assembled in vestry of the appointment by the Rector of
Mr. J. Robinson, junr.. is hereby expreesed. It was carried
unanimously. -Mr. Oalpin also desired to recognise the
services Id those gentlemen who had joined the choir. -
The Rector said some had only just joined, and as to the
junior members, he thought there would be an acknow.
lodgement made in • pecuniary shape. -Mr. Lock suggested
recognition would induce others to join. -The Rector said
they did not know how long these volunteers might
continue. --Mr. Galpin remarked that an expression of
thanks for their help was the way to induce them to
continue. -Mr. Baseoinhe remarked that Mr. Robinson
hal carried 44 the musical service wonderfully well. -Mr.
Gallen expressed hie gratification, and 14) did several other
members of the vestry.-The liecitcr said he thought the
organ was played with taste, and that the music and
singing were both good; and if they had four or five more
men that it would be all that they could desire-Mr.
Galpin's motion "that thanks he given to those gentle-
men who have come forward to assist in the vocal services
of the church," was seconded by Mr. Bascornle, and
carried unanimously.-A *light discussion took place as
to the heating of the church, one or two of those present
complaining that on the preview' day there was a draught
of cold air passing through the church, which made it
very uncomfortable. It was explained that this was
causal by the oven door being left open after the fire had
gone out. It was agreed that the fires le now dis-
cautiotsed for the season, and the clerk, Mr. Wood, was
asked ras Hutt ffee doors were kept closed,eo aa to make
the church as aondertel,ll as iossible.-ffir. U. Lock
remarked that the tuatteei beConie very mush worn
in places, and !fevers' of the Parishieuert brd stumbled
through, catching their toes in the hoLis.- t seereed to
be the opinion of the vestry that new matting shoe be
laid down, utilising as much of the present as was not
badly worn.-This concluded the business, and Mr. J.
Gallen proposed a vote of thanks to the Rector for pre-
ling, which was duly seconded and carried.-At Haat
there were present the Rev. H. Moule (Vicar)
presiding, Mr. R. Rayne, Mr. R. Hunt, Mr. R. Aldwoiihi

and Mr. J. Topp.. The Vicar reappointed Mr. Wayne as Increased from tai in Ihn to 13•5 D7O, there was then a
