THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.

The showers, frequent rather than copious, during the
past week have proved sufficient to put an end to the
complaints which reoently prevailed on the soon of
drought. A great improvement ham taken place in the
aspect of the vantry, although it cannot be said that
the weather has been of a forcing character, se the
temperature lias been chilly and ungenial, with more
than • suspicion of 1,04 at night in certain localitiea
However, the rain has d ins an incalculable amount of
geod, and has not come • whit too soon, as the back-
ward state of the growing crops waa beginning to be
regarded with much anxiety; at the wine time, without
underrating the improvement which has already occurred.,
the country needs another week or ten days warm rain
to enable it to recover from the retarding influences under
which it has been recently sawing. But a few weeks
sines and agricultural reports in this country were of •
somewhat oonflicting character as to the condition of
nearly all descriptions of growing produce, but now
wheat has gained strength a.. 1 is growing rapidly, the
pastures have improved. and vegetation lenerahly has
entered upon • hopeful and enooorsiln4 pnase of
existence. Unless some very unlooked-for change takes
place harvest pro Teets are f ,irly promising—in short,
although the wind has shown • pradtloction for veering
into cold quarters the, weather during the past week
may be sod to have been decidedly favourable to the
aaricultivist. Wheat is now coming into ear in the
earlier districts; at market on Monday tin first were
shown, grown in Sussex from red winter American wheat.
The colour of the plant was good, hut the straw was short
and the ears were small.—kirk Lana Nsprems.

EIHILLIXOSTONB.

IlizsAil.—The Wesleyan Chapel here is now being
enlarged, and in order to meet this expense • bazaar
was held a few months ago, when upwards of £IO,
Including donations and promises, was realised. The
articles then left would supplemented with other
contributions from friend;, enable the lady friends to
hold a second bazaar, which was held on Monday, in a
barn kindly lent by Mr. Warren. The articles were
neatly displayed on two stalls, to the left-hand side of
the entrance, and the ladies who presided over them
on this occasion were—Mrs. J. Warren, Mrs. Masters,
Miss Gentry, Miss Pond, and Mrs. Gentry. The
class of art..les exhibited were such as to command
the patronage of the working classes, and during the
latter part of the evening • smart business was done.
At five o'clock &goodly number sat down totes, which
was followed by • public meeting at seven o'clock.
In the absence. of Mr. A. S. Hodges, of Poole the
Rev. Mr. Masters occupied the chair, and expressed
the pleasure it gave him to see such • good attendance,
and to meet them all under such happy circumstances.
The enlargement of the chapel would be a very great
Improvement, and though it had been commenced
without the sanction of this authorities yet it would be
sure to commend itself to ad. With regard to the
opening ceremony, he did not know what important
personage they were going to Invite; but he thought
they could not do better than ask their friend Mr.
Davy, who had kindly favoured them with his presenee
that day. (Applause.) The Rev. Mr. Chant, Mr.
Charles Drake, and Mr. Gentry each addressed a few
words to themootiog, declining to make any speech, as
they were all anxious to hear what Mr. Davy bad got
to say.—The Rev. Mr. Davy, of Bath, said he did not
come there to make • speech, and he was wire that he
would best consult the wishes of the meeting if he
made his remarks as brief as possible. The reason why
he was there to-day was owing to the influence of Mr.
Gentry and Mr. Warren. and being now under the
master he must submit to klm,end gay a kw wards.

FUNERAL OF THE LATE EMPRESS
OF RUSSIA.

Wednesday completed the final act of the funeral of
the late Empress. Mass for the dead WU recited,
and at the conclusion all the Imperial family gave a
farewell kiss to the deceased. Then the coffin was
closed, and the Emperor, the Grand Dukes, the

Emperor and others present sprinkled with a minia-
ture shovel on the tomb. The ceremony being com-
pleted, the guns of the fortress, and the cannon

TH E ATALANTA.

Five ordinary seamen of the Atalanta have arrived at
Spithead, Portsmouth, in the gunboat Plover. Their
statements are in general confirmatory of those given by
the ordinary seaman Veiling. One of the men. McCor-
mack, in reply to questions put by the Press Association
correspondent, said: " I have been in the navy ever since
the beginning of 187 ti. I went on shore at Barbadees from
the Atalanta on the 3rd January, HIS 3, asJLPrisoner. I
joined the Atalanta on the find November, l, at Ports-
mouth, and from the time I went on board I never liked
the ship. When struck by a sea she would go down on
her side with a lurch, and remain there sometimes for
five minutes, while the sea washed her decks There
was nothing gradual in the Atalanta lurching; she
went suddenly down. She was too top-heavy to right
herself. The raft that has been seen with bodies
covered by white jumpers I do not think could
have come from the Atalanta, as I think from
the character of the ship she would have gone down
too suddenly to give time to make such a raft as that
described. I think it most probable that the ship went
down bodily, as she was too tight to break up and too top-
heavy to stand a very heavy gale "—Theophllus Wistlebe,
22 years of age, said he had been accustomed to theses
since he was 11 years of age, principally at work in &bine-
boata. He joined the Atalanta in October last. In
anything of • breere the Atalanta would keel over, and
when she gave a sudden lurch one would think she had
gone altogether. It was impossible to say when Captain
Stirling took his rest, for be appeared to be always on
deck_—Oliver Ellis, who broke away from the ship because
he was afraid of her, says that on one occasion he noticed
the ship roll over to within two degrees of heeling over
altogether; and two other men gave corroborative state-

of shipping grain in sacks.

HELGOMBE REGIS PARISH CHURCH.

To as Editor.

Sir, —While looking over the pages of "Hutchins
History of Dorset," in the reading-rooin of the British
Museum, I came across the following under the heading
of Melcombe Regis:—" The church of Melcombe, dedicated
to our blamed Saviour, stand, near the middle of the
town." I learn that there was anciently • chapel, from
" Hutchins" speaking of • letter of the Bishop of Sarum
to the Din of Dorsetahire, to "cite certain persona to
appear before him for intruding into the chapel of
doombe Regis, belonging to the mcther church of
&dipole, dat-d in April, 1300." "Hutchins" further
relates--" In IdOG • new church warn built on the site of
the chafed and nue* parnellia, and in 1006 it was con-
ellerlitett 14_ Dr. nouch, suffragan to Dr, Thorehoroneh,
Bishop of Winchester, who named it Christchurch." At
• boy I have been told by my mother, who remembered
the old church (doubtleas the one spoken of by "Hutch-
ins" in the above extract) that the present one wee
called St Mary's Church because it stood in St Mary'.'
street and not, as I always believed op till now, that the
street WAS named after the church. I cannot but help
wondering that when the church by the station was being
built and its name 'spoken of, no one had come forward
and shown -that the parish church was called after neither
"saint nor angel hut Christ alone." I feel sure the rector
would have been pleased to know the correct dedication of
the mother church of Melcombe alai/, which is the Christ
Church In St. Mary's-street, and not the church at
Radipole, as many still call it, is, furs, welts, the extract
quoted, " Hutchins,' state. under Radipole, "The church
of Radipole was anciently the mother church of
Meloombe Regir hut was made • chapel of ease to it in
1656. It is an antient small fabric, dedicated to St. Mary,
and has one bell." It is also stated that the antient chaPei
of ease spoken of by the Nihon In 1301 waa dedicated,
doubtlessly, to the Holy Trinity. Poor tit Maria baying
Its antient titles borne by two churches, sprung up, not
far from it, and itae/1 beholden to the street it is in for •

A "FARMERS MEND.'
Mr. Chaplin, who spoke against the hares and rabbits
bill, has been shrewd enough to prepare for Its coming
into operation, and has given up the game on his estate to
his tenants upon the payment by them of an additional
shilling per acre. lhe tenants have all accepted this
arrangement, which, it is said, will add over Ll,OOO per
annum to Mr. Chaplin's rent roll. This is clearing the
ground for action in a modern style, and we doubt not the
honourable gentleman will feel himself perfectly free and
unfettered in discussing the future readings of the bill.

If you desire to get • large yield et rich milk, give your
cows every day water slightly warm and slightly salted,
in which bran haa been stirred at the rate of one quart to
two gallons of water. You will find, if you have not tried
this daily practice, that your cow will give twenty-live
per cent, more milk immediately under the effects of it,
and she will become so accustomed to the diet as to refuse
to drink clear water unless very thirsty. But this mess
she will drink almost any time, and ask for more. The
amount of this drink necessary is an ordinary water pail
full at a time, morning, noon, and night —3l ichipan

torresponbente.

I hardly think that the civil engineer who came
down to iuspect the new town's offioes, went away from
here greatly impressed with the sanitary condition of
the town. I fear also that I am not exaggerating
when I say that during his stay he occasionally
listened to some remarks of a somewhat equivocal
nature from those gentlemen with whom he conferred
1118 to hygienic matters generally. One thing must
appear evident from the remarks which fell from his
lips, and that I. that ere long some improved system
a drainage will have to be resorted to; that the
numerous wells which supply a large fraction of the
Mhabitanta with impure water will have to be closed ;
thall the supply of water coming from the waterworks
will have to be materially increased, apd that various
other arrangements of a sanitary nature will have to
be made. We are apt to boast in Poole of the lowness
of our death rate ; but it appear to me that we never
ask alewives the question, whether or not the death
rate could not be still further dimioishel. The
enormous amount of deaths of infants under three
months old can hardly be said to be below the average,
and it strikes me that the time will come when neglect-
ful mothers will be placed more effectively under the
eyes of the law, and their infant offspring better pro-
tected from the ravages of dirt, bad food, and improper
nursing. The ratepayen of Poole may congratulate
thema4ves that the erection of public offices in King,
street will in tho end told to diminish the Alga.

ORDERING HIS OWN COPTlN.—Gonsiderable excite-
ment bee been occasioned in Blandford by the report
that a resident in the to en had given an order to Mr.
G. Flaverstock, whitesmith and bell-hanger? Salisbury
street, to make him a coffin. On enquiry, it was
ascertained that the report Ives quite true On Mon-
day morning, the man waited upon Mr. Baverstock,
and asked him what be would charge for a galvanized
Iron coffin, suitable for himself to be buried in.
Baverstock names a prim,- but to this the msn
objected, as the figure was too high, bat said that if
Baveretock would mike one for 304. he might do so.
The offer WAS soc•pted, and till man shortly after-
wards furnished the size. giving the length, depth,
and width. The job was at once commenced, and in
the evening the man went to see how it was progress-
ing. He then ordered a bee I-piece, or pillow, for the
head, and the coffin was completed. A. large number
of people were attracted to the spot, desirous of seeing
so remarkable a piece of furniture as a galvanized iron

into the house very tipsy and swore a't her in a dread-
ful manner, lie took up some lettuce on the table
and beat bar About the head with it, and also struck
her with his fist over the left eye, which was now die'
coloured. He likewise broke two of her chairs to
pieces. The witness stated she was knocked insensible
by the blows, and remained for some time till her
mother came, and dressed the wound she re-
ceived. When the defendant wee drunk he was like
• madman, but when sober he did the best he could

plainant in a very weak state, and the wound she had

ANCIENT ORDER OF FORMITIES, BOITTH-WEISTIEN
Dustalcr.—The half-yearly meeting of this District
was held in the Council Member of the Town hail,
Salisbury, on Monday, when there was a large atten•
dance of delegate., numbering t'3, and representing 91
out of the 94 Courts comprised in the District. The
report of the Committee to the officers and members
of Court* stated that the numbers had not greatly
increased during the quarter, the figures being 14,236
as against 14,170 In December last. 'the funeral claims
of the put six months were, notwithstandusg the
Inclemency of the season, less in number than might
have been anticipated. All surplus funds bad been
profitab'y invested, and the committee were pleased
to be able to point to the large amounts now realised
by way of interest. The accounts showed the present
worth of the District to be £14,265 lls. 21. and
during the half-year thsro ha I been a gain to the
Funeral Fond of 4521 Is. 41. Ihi Vi :owe and

specific notice f motion in regard to this matter
should have ben 1,1a,:e.1 on the notice paper, so that
delegates could have come prepared to act. As it was,
he c ultended that they might be led into some rash
action which would be regrettA hereafter. (Hear,
hear.) Eventually it was agreed, on the proposition
of Bro. Shergold, to ask every romber in the District
through the sssembled delegates, to pay one shilling
to the Fund during the ensuing year, half to be paid
next September quarter. It was resolved that the
delegate* be paid at the rate of 10s. per day and
second-class railway fare, the elected delegates being
Bros. Dyer, Pearce, Ranger, Ilartnell, Wareham, and
Shergold (Dorchester) who was also re-elected senior
auditor. The final division resulted in the selection
of Winchester for the next district meeting.
