A 71110010011 Buit.—A bull was being driven along '
the Lo.don-road towards Dorchester on Saturday 4

ODTMILLOIIII Furrimm..—On Monday were interred
at Fordington Cemetery the mortal remains of Bro.
Jcisimph Oliver, a member of the " Loyal Bud of Hope"
Lodge in this town. Several of the members met at
their Lodge in Alington Hall, and, after the secretary
had touched upon the Dolman event which had brought
them together, proceeded to the deceased's residence.
Among them we noticed the secretary P.P.G. Pike),
P.G. Lista, P.G. Davis, P.G. P.G.
Goring*, P.O. Groves, Bros. T. Grigg, F. owes,
sad wham, in all about 24, four of the younger
usemben bang bearers. Here a presssion was
farmed, and, each member carrying a sprig of thyme
in their bands, proceeded in Mont of the corps, to the
°throb, where they were met b the vicar, the Rev.
A. A. Leonard, who officiated. g from the
church, they followed the corpse to the grave, where,
at the request of the deceased's friends, and by the kind
permission of the vicar, the natal burial service was
sappier:ow ed by that sublime oration due to the Odd-
fellnws, commencing with the worm—" Now an
commit our dear departed brother to the grave, and
though his voice can no longer te heard among us to
gladden our hearts, still his memory will we cherish
till we too are called away to pay the debt of Nature."
The procession then re-formed, end followed the
mourners horns. Deceived was 22 years of age.
THI COMOILEGATIOIAL SONDAT SCHOOL TAWAS.—
The annual treat, in connection with the above Sunday
School, was held on Tuesday lain at Frampton Park,
the weather being very far °arable. The children
assembled in the schoolroom at 9.45, and, after an
interval of about ten minutes, the children sang the
hymn—" Climbing up Zion's Hill ;" and the Rev. T.
Nears engaged in • short but appropriate prayer.
The children then proceeded to tie Great Western
Station in good order, ea rock to Grimstone, laying
Dorchester by the 10 42 train. On arriving at Grim.
stone, the children walked to Frampton Park, a
distance of about half • mile, the little ones having
beam conveyed to the park in waggons. About a
quarter-part eleven the children, numbering about
160, indulged in various games. The swings were very
soon put in action, by the kind help of Messrs. A.
Hill and A. Bawler, which the children and friends
heartily enjoyed. The good old game of cricket, too,
wee next engaged in but it was rather an arduous
task, for the sun *boa twelve o'clock was scorching.
Tea was the next thing to take place, which came off
at a quarter-past three, and was heartily enjoyed,
everyoee being satisfied with it. The grace was sung
very Mealy by the children. The friends, who num-
bered ever 60, had tea after the children. Tea having
been done full justice te, the children began to indulge
In the followintatgames :—Pole-jumping, racing or
mon t y ecramb etc. Ac. Later on in the evening
a " scratch-match took place, it being much cooler,
between some of the scholars of the 100 l and some
friends of Frampton, which resulted in a victory for
the scholars on the first innings. By this time it wag

NRIYATR DRAINAGE.
Them was sin tapplication from the owner of 1(o. 1,
Omat Westere-terrace for the drainage of the home to
be oretheated with the main sewer. On behalf of the
.oueser, Mr. Jones • communication was reed from Mr R.
N. 'Howard as to the ascessier of the connection. Mr. E.
.g. May, Medical Officer of Health for the Borough, also
mrported on the matter as follows n—" I nee to report
that *wise to the smell else of the cesspool in the garden
at No. 5, Great Western-terraces Into whit* NO.. I. 2,3,
4, and 5.11 drain, it has to be emptied about wary three
weeks, width is detrimental to the health of those °navy •
intro. 5. at least."
Aura= Pori, as the owner of No. 1, 'poke very
deposit, of the necessity of the drain being connected.
Mr. Aldertaaa GALPIN YEW why not go into the
ousedas at the emd of the agenda—the general question of
age dminso Of the borough. If. was very sorry to rest
,hasth,eyad decided to throw aver the offer of the
Dodgy. He trusted they would go cm with that question
woos se they could, or they would do nothing to their
ome setinfeotten or others. Bet if they went into it with
the deteratinatim to take the best steps they could to
Garry oat the work, be was of opinion that in two or Wee
months Name arrangements could be made to consent all
the homes. Why could they not take this piece of land
.of the Denby, and &toot some disinfecting process, and
gamy could then connect any house, in the place, and thus
sentom all the trouble.
Mr. A. Pori: With all due deference to Mr. Delphi. the
equation is whether or not the application of Mr. Jonas to
the drainage of his house with the main sewer
mall be granted or ref used, and that le tbe only thing
width AVM present moment is before the Board. Certainly
there is on the agenda paper the notice to consider the
median of the drainage ; but you know as well ER I do
that that bee been on the paper fifty times within the last
dye years, sad I think the notice will sensor as many
dimes within the last Asta years. Mr. Gilpin Lea said in
ctwo or three months something might be dom. I

blaaie - "`eceeo the Corporation that the work
bad not advanced further but it wa the fault of the
higher power.. The only du which they had had offered
them was this of the Duchy, and tae reran they did not
at once accept it, was that they did not think it wise to
take Iton" ektn• • lease as 30 years. Therefore be did
not think any blame could be attacked to the Corlverstjou.
Alderman Gitstottar maid if Mr. Galvin referred to
the minutes of the last meeting he would dad that in the
' propositioa passed relating to atte rejection ef the offer of
the Duchy, it was Itattlyt it was on account of the
short terros of the lease, It wee OUIY 3° yews.— ••• the!,

to spend a similar sum.
Alderman Gaunt: Is the odes of the Duchy still
open to us, an,l are we in the poelairm to treat with them!
The DEPUTY-TOWS DUCES : Certainly.
Mr. Srmunns said a communication bad been sent to
Lord Portman, who Is one of the council of the Duchy,
asking that a deputation from the Council should wait on
him when he was In Drrchester at the Quarter Sessions
and confer with hint on the ousetion, bat Iorduldp bad
expnes-d his regret that he would not be able to receive
the deputation, as he aee not strong enough to attend
the Quarter Bastions. He thought. however, "Le would
be able to state in writing their es and wishes, and the
ooncemions of the Council to the Duchy be granted. width
was secondedby Mr. Bunter,.
Alderman (hum, said be felt morally bound by the
prowlers of the deputation to Yr. rimer, not to connect
any bonne until they had taken emu stops for caviling
out their drainage schema It would he a violation of
their promise to Mr. Floysr. He considered it a breech
of good faith, and he could not vote for the motion.
Mr. A., Porn: About twenty houses are in course of
construction, and the application to connect them him
been granted without the slightest hesitation at all.
Alderman (hunt: But thowil boom* are not tkntalt°4
Yet, and there could be no drainage. If you do what you
°atilt to do, and press the matter forward, you ought to
be proper to drain the whole of the houses when the

. . .

Ultimately Nos. land 5 were ordered to be connected.
In resuming the discussion on the general question,
Alderman ()ALM liked wbat bad been dons glace tbei

--.11-e-iferCill replied that st the last meeting it waa
proposed that at the Quart's. &salons some of the Mam.
bers should meet Lott Portman. His lordship was
unable to attend, but bed recommended them to write
to the Duchy (Laneil. That was all that had been done.
Mr. A. Pore: But the Doehy Couacil,will not meet till
December. .

My opinion is we ought to accept the
thirty-one years loose. We base no alternative. and I
think we were very lucky to have the chews offered on
of the Louers Mill premier TM premises ere very

on the trader enrolee of the Dock,. lam sus* they
would not tam us out at the end of the 31 yeses, se it is
for a public benefit
Alderman Orem was of the same opinion. Why need
they conjure up a lot of dioultiee whir might °oar
thirer-one years hence. The terms seemed reword*
and just, and, besides, what he ranted to call their
attention to was this: Their main sewer passed close
by, and they could in the meanwhile try the
effect of disinfecting the sewage at comparatively
email elreense, end discharge it into the river, end thug
remove all the obliestices which Kr. Fryer might
i upon them. They could thee treat the sewage
b:re:e they commenced orreries the drainage in any
other pert of the town. Hem they had • solution of the
whole dillioulty without say very great outlay. If they
refried this site what coed they do I They would have
to co all over the Oar to get a sits, and eves then not see
s site so good as the present Here they bed wrier newer
available for the purpose, and the mein sewer rrzia

Kr. A. Pops, while secondine lb. rewire:in, narked
before such a mohairwee rend, he considered Monte
terms ought to he made with Kr. Taylor—something more
definite then had r yet been done.
Alderman Gerrit „tr with all due reissues to the
opinion that Loud's Kill premier brae the best site, he
still considered the short tenni of the leer. They would
have to ley out SA,OOO at 41.10,010, sad it would be very
bed for their descendants in ID raze time to say there was
all this money spent sod they had to go all ere it "ger.

Kr. A. LOCK quite agreed that this was the beet site,
but had they, he asked, taken enacient steps to get the
leer on longer terms I
The llAtok : They have said they will not entertain
any application.
Mr.-A Lobs: But public opinion :debt be brought to
bear on the Duchy as on other purr authorities. They
bad the power to lease for Oil years, and if it wee likely
they would get that in December when the Duchy
Council met, would it not be worth their while to watt
till then?
Kr. R. Ever: If we thought so we would, but they
have given us an explicit answer.
Dr. ALDILIDOI : I really think we might get better
terms.
The Board then divided, with the foildwieg result: For
Alderman Gilpin s motion (6)—Alderman Gel*. the
Meyer. Yr. A. Pope, Kr. Hunt, Kr. Bennett, and Kr. W.
Tilley. Against :—Aldeemaa Gregory, 10. A. H. Lock.
and Mr. F. Lock. Dr. Aldridge did not vote for the
motion, as he thought it immature.
The following moire was also carried, on the motion
of Mr. POrlk seconded by Kr. It. RUNT That the
General Furrier Committee be authorised to dad with
the purchase of Kr. H. Taylor's interest in the Lood's
Kill premises by arbitration, and to take all etre
necessary to obtain possession of the premises.
Hr. R.. fluter said while not for ens moment under-
estimating the ability of their surveyor, he wa. Kin it
would be advisable that the plane should be confirmed by
another authority. The slightest mistake might occasion
the loss of some thousands of pounds, and he was sure he
was ermking the opinions of - a good many ratepayers
when he said it WAS advisable that the pleas should be
confirmed by some engineer.
Alderman Greta said they would first of all have to
settle what plan they would doot of &ameng. of the
sewage, and in that he believed they could do all that was
required. When the general question came co then
would be the time to have further authority.
