conveying labourers, tteir wives, familia, and be-
longings, to their new emplovenesta. It was 00ti"
that the furniture this movement displayed WBB
generally of • better description and more abundant
than in former years, which may be taken as • sure in-
dication of general improvement in the eondition of the
labourers. But these annual changes are not good, and
the lusher formers are so well vatisilled with their
Mboarere and labourers go eomfortable and oontented in
their maim, that neither party desires a change, the
better will it be for all concerned.

D 010111151.111 Pauiaef CLUIL—Tbe sonsal Abuser of
this club took place at the Antelope hotel, on Tassilay
evening. Mr. J. Homer, the president, in the elsair.
The attendance was small, and it was the &abject of
general comment and regret that 50• S agnealturiate
were Present. It may be, however, that at this
season of the year, when farmers are busy at Gold
operations, the fixture of the dipper on • Tuesday,
chin there is no market to bring them in the town on
business, had something to do with the paucity of the
otandsoos. Bs bats.t it may tb• *mallow of the
gathering oontributed much to the real pleasure of it.
All sit speeches wars tehoced, and Sb. proseedinp took
more of the character of a private dinner party. Mr.
B. (lenge occupied his wonted porition as visc.president.
11. hon. sorietsry, Mr. G. J. Andrews, was in his
place, and the bon. treasurer, Mr. T. Chapman Saunders
also attended. The compsny also ineluded, Mr. J. P.
Hodge, Dr. J. P. Aldridge, Mr. J. Galpin, Mr. B.
Steele Mr. J T. Shorts,Mr. J. T. Bailor, Mr. H.
Taylor, Hr. Norris, Yr. Harding jan. Mr. Pops, Mr.
Cull. and Mr. Symonds of iloncg '
on A very eseelleat
idoner was provided, but that yes *seeded with Mr.
Yearslay at the head of the establishment. When the
dessert was plume' upon the table, the President gave
the health of" The Quinn," which was cordially ilruok,
after which ensued oimplimentary toasts and speeches
relative to the operation, of the eluh. The Mayor anl
Corporation, as representatives of Dorchester, were
congratulated and thanked for providiug the new
GUM Exchanp, and Mr. Alderman Gape asknow-
lodged the oompliment Dr. J. P. Aldridge felicitously
P" the health of the President ot the Club, evokins
hearty aPplause and Mr. J. Homer, for the kind
recognition of li.. services, which he fell were but
feeble (and this elicited loud "No noes,") alter the
eminent ability and soil displayed by the late Mr.
Wood, °slimed his thanks. He also stated that the
club hod now 71 members, and the Wean in hand on
the club account was £lB Is. 11d. The question of
what they should do with it bad been rimed, and a
suggestion wa, throws oat that prima for root crops
should he offered, but this remained for further con-
sideration. The club was established in 1361 with 46
member., so that they had the socouraproeut of know-
ing that 'after seven years the members had not
decreased, bet wise emll nigh doubled. Still, they did
not have Hie large ettendaness at the ordinary meetings
they used to have for what reuse ? be feared it was
becomes be was prisident—(" no, no," front everybody).
During the past malion the subjects assumed had been
of • very practical character, sad the one brought
forward at the lest meeting was especially important,
for it was their duty to brio( before the publie soy
grievances they had, whether they were of a polltisal
or social nature. He this spoke of the sighting's of
agrieultnral societies and farmers' clubs, in eliciting
the esperieaos and views of practical mess for the
general good ; and he observed thetas they, as farmers,
did their duty to their country, by adopting the
mechanical and scientific improvements of the day, in
order to augment the food snip', of ths people, there
ought to be some consideration shown to them, so that
they micht not have to beat an undue proportion of
the public taxation. In acknowledging the toast of bit
health, Mr. H. Deep said Dorset was well represented
with farmers' slobs. He thought that in but few other
counties would there be found so many well isgalstei
fitruiere gabs as in Dorset—(hear, hear). Chambers of
agriculture were now the fashion of the day, but he
thought these were formed in plums where DO farmer,'
*labs exiited —(" Quite so")—end that as Dorset had
too; had associations of that sharsater, • chamber of
, agriculture was not required—(beer, hear). If it was
found desirethle for the furthering of agriculture to
amalgamate the several farmers' clubs, so as to form •
ohiuuber of aeriositure, he, for one, would vote for
such a course—(hear. hear) —but they must look for
the higher powers to take the first step in that direction.
The health of the Honorary Secretary was proposed by
Om President, and was very heartily received. In
responding, Mr. Andrews, in his hamorsome and tell-
ing way, referred to varimut topics of interest to
agriculturists, sod peril utterly to the recent conference
in Lawton on the condition of the agricultural labourers,
sod said he ifearel that snob • movement was calculated
to do great mischief to the labourers, and also to the
tenant farmers. Ms. T. C. Saunders, whose health was
cordially drank as, trimmest, replied. He referred to
the beery exposers oast upon the club by the cattle
plague in 1865, whereby an expenditure of ebout
was incurred. Of this £5 each had been kindly given by
J. Floyer, Esq., M.P., and H. Williams. Req., and about
1.3 is other soma. The President made some observa-
tions relative to the condition of agricultural labourers,
urging that it wad a landlord's duty to provide sufficient
booms for the labourers on every farm, and he
prom mid to intioduos the subject for discussion next
session. He propo-.d the health of Mr. J. Moyer,
IL P., making mention of his varied and able services to
the county, and the toast was warmly received. "Th.
Trade of Dorchester," responded to by Mr. J. F.
Hodges, the health of Dr. Aldridge, the health of tie.
Nolen, and other touts followed, and the evening was
spent in social and friendly enjoyment.
