WAREHAM AND PURBECK LABOURERS'

AND SERVANTS' FRIEND SOCIETY,

The annual mooting of this eseellest society took
Oboe yesterday. Amid dm changes which time and
eiroumainnoes have made in the constitution of
various agrinelteral maculation' in the °minty, this
society has held steadily on its way, affording n
healthy walnut= to labourers to make themselves
skilled workmen, and encouraging them in well-
doing.

Tl:e shearing and mowing menthes tooi place in
the morning, at the lower part of the beautiful park
of K Weld, Eq., the noble owner of La!worth
Castle, and within eight of that grand old structure.
The number of 'Wriest* both departinents of labour was
larger than usual, there being 16 wbo entered for the
prim offered to the skilled at wielding the scythe,
while 13 men and four boys tested th• abilities in
ridding lb* sheep of their Goose, which operation
most sesuredly be grateful to the animals themselves
at this wimp of the year, notwithstanding that
while they were in the hands of the shearers within
the enclosure they looked ludicrously helplem and
withal uncomfortable.
The judges for both the shearing and mowing
were : Mr. John Bert, Warmwell I Mr. William
Longman, Bellhuish and Mr. Hall, Tycebani.
The shearing by the men though generally
, good, was not of that superior obaracter as to
merit the unqsali6s4 approbation of the judges
for many of the sheep had been cot during the
wooer to an unworkeisalike ettent But
there wee one very giatifying circumstance
connected with the shearing, vii., that the work of
the boys was excellent, end they, without doubt,
carried oft the honours of the day. The mowing
was nnoaritably good considering the difficult nature
of the land they had to work upon, and through
this probably four of the meu were disqualified
through not completing their task in the allotted
time. The prises were awarded as follows :

part in the society, so that more variety Might be
made in its operatioos, lit oxialtution, he pi °posed
the health of the president (Mr. Calera') who had
always taken great Interest in the society.
The L'ustglimi returned thinks, and observed
