eollar-bone. It t; stated that the bon* la fractured.

period.
A Maims Vienna. Opinions are rife as to
whether the visitor at the "Harbour" on Thursday ,
morning last was • seal (or pAoca), or a walrus (the
morse). Conjectures are divided in favour of the meal. 1
At any rate the animal was observed by some
" preventive" men to endeavour to mount the buoy
opposite the Harbour, and being unsuccessful, it made at
once for the shore, swimming a considerable distance
Inside the piers. One of the co&stfuardsmen fired at
the creature with a rifle, when it dived suddenly, and
did not rise again until it got safely out of the
Harbour. The animal was evidently in search of •
wot on which to bask, and made its way to Burton
liradstock, where some men "on murder intent" fired
at it, but the creature again escaped and has not since
been seen. It is gated that many, mazy years since I
seals were frequent visitors to this coast; but for a
long period, one has not shown heel( in this vicinity,
although they abound and are occasionally killed in
the tie thoghood of the Scilly Isles.
Tst AND TIM RINGZILS. At the Lister
yeetry meeting, held at St. Mary'a on Friday morning,
there was a fair attendance of parishioners, including
the churchwardens. The rector (Rev. E. J. L. B.
Henslowe) at the conclusion of the usual business,
stated that the bells of the church were rung on the
previous evening, in direct disobedience to a direct
order from him, and that in consequence the ringers
were immediately discharged from the office. The
rector considered the bells should be silent on occasions
of political contests. They were placed in the tower
for use at periods of church festivals, /cc., and their use
on such occasions as the present was entirely out of
place. The feeling of the meeting was with the rector.
Mr. S. Whetham, one of the wardens, stated the
ringers came to him on the previous evening asking
permission to ring the bells, but he told them it was
unadvisable. They then proceeded to ask Mr. J. W.
Hartgill a similar favour, but without telling him
they had seen Mr. Whetham tilson the subject. Mr.
Hartgill said he should personally like to hear them
fling, but advised them to see the rector. This they
failed to do, and immediately proceeded to the church
and rung the bells on their own responsibility, and in
disobedience to orders from the rector Mr. Hartgill
said that he himself was to blame, but the meeting
was of a contrary opinion. The rector coneidered the
tower should look down serenely on such matters,
even in the case of returning a member pledged to
support the church or otherwise ; and that the conduct
of the ringers was most reprehensible. Mr. H. N.
Cos, jun , •sked whether the churchwardens would
grant &certain amount annually for the services of the
choir, for the purchase of special music. Some time
since £2 had been voted, but that was found to be
insufficient, and he now suggested the sum of £1 per
quarter. Mr. William Stone, organist, mooted the
advisability of having a choir fund, but Mr. S. Whet.
ham thought it better to pay any legitimate expense
rather than vote an annual sum. It was decided to
leave the matter in the hands of the wardens, who had
heard the discussion on the matter. Mr. S. Whetham
awl Mr. J. W. Hartgill were re-elected wardens for
the ensuing year, and votes of thanks were_paseed for
their services. Mr. F Turner and Mr. H. N. Con
were re-elected sidemen, respectively. The Burial
Board accounts were passed.
