Dammam' BALL—This event, which had been
fixed to be hold at an earlier period, but was postponed
in consequence of the weather, took place on Thursday
night in the Corn Exchange, which had been re-
decorated by Mr. H. Cronin for the occasion. The
arrangements were ably carried out by the stewards,
who ensßged_the services of Mr. and Mrs. Byers, of the
Crown Hccel, whose catering and attention to the
comfort of the party afforded as usual the highest
satisfaction. Supper was laid with considerable taste
in the Town Hall, and light refreshments were supplied
In the ballroom. Mr. Targett's quadrille band, from
Southampton, who have had the distinguished honour
of being selected to play at a ball to be given by the
Lord Mayor of London next month, was engaged.

with good spirit for several hours.

AN ARCHDEACON IN DIVORCE 00IIIIT.

In the Divorce Division on Wednesday morning,
the extraordinary_ suit of Dunbar v. Dunbar came
before Sir James Hannan. The petitioner sued for a
judicial separation from her husband, Archdeacon
Dunbar, on the ground of adultery. The respondent
denied the charge. Several witnesses, who acted as
vergers at SL Andrew's Chapel, TavisLock-place,
London, deposed that two ladies were frequent visitors
to the respondent, sometimes remaining till after
midnight, and having drink in his study. The
respondent was sometimes seen the worse for liquor.
The proceedings in the case of Dunbar v. Dunbar
were resumed on Friday morning, before Sir James
Hannen and a special jury.
On his lordship taking his seat on the bench, Mr.
Waddy, Q. C., the counsel for Archdeacon Dunbar,
said he understood the jury had intimated to his
lordship that they were agreed. If that decision Was
in his favour he did not wish to change it and if it
was against him he could not hope to alter it.
Sir It. Gifford, on behalf of Mrs. Dunbar, said be
was quite content to leave the matter in the hands of
the jury.
Sir James Hannan said he had received an
intimation from the jury, which he desired should be
communicated in writing. If he had not thought
that decision substantially right, he should not
have interfered, but have allowed the ease to go on.
The jury then found that Mr. Dunbar had not
committed adultery.
Upon application being made, his lordship dismissed
the petition of Mrs. Dunbar.
A long discussion ensued with regard to the costs of
the suit, but ultimately his lordship directed that the
matter should stand over.

sisg ressive sermon from St. Luke. xi., 13—" If ye than,
evil. know how to give good gifts unto your children.
w much more shall your Heavenly Father give the Holy
Spirit to them that ask him I" The weather in the

gress was otheent The rev. gentleman than ably

this parable: A certain man had a fig tree planted in his
vineyard, and be came and sought fruit thereon, and found
none. Then said he unto the dresser of him vineyard:
Behold these three years I come seeking fruit on
this fig tree, and find non.; cut it down, why cumbereth
It the ground I And he, answering, said unto Him, Lord,
let It aloes this year also, till I shall dig about it and dung
ft ; and if it bear fruit, well; and if not, than after that
thou shalt cut it down."

harmonium.

WIIMBORNIL
THE SQUABBLE ABOUT THE CHUROH.
WARDENS BANK PASS BOOK.

A Vestry Meeting was held in the Oddfellows'
Hall on Thursday evening for the purpose of passing
the late churchwardens' accounts and for receiving the
report of the committee appointed to inquire into the
condition of the Minster towers and the surveyor's
estimate of the cost of the noccessary repairs. There
was a large attendance of ratepayers. General
Maclean was voted to the chair and read the notice
convening the meeting.—Mr. Hayter, the present
churchwarden, said Mr. C. Munckton, the auditor
appointed by the vestry to examine the late church-
warden's accounts, having had every opportunity of
seeing all papers and vouchers, he trusted his report
would be satisfactory. In reply to Mr. Wilson, Mr.
Munekton said that in consequence of Mr. Hopkins
not having handed over the churchwarden's Bank Pass
Book he was unable to certify to the correctness of the
accounts. A long discussion ensued on the question
of the Bank Book and other matters which have
been brought so prominently before the rate-
payers at previous vestry meetings. Ultimately
Mr. Hayter proposed that the last year's accounts be
passed. This was seconded by Mr. Pothecary. An
amendment was moved by Mr. G. Wilson to the effect
that in consequence of the auditor's report the church-
wardens' accounts be not passed. This was seconded
by Mr. R. Elcock. The amendment was put to the
meeting and carried by 48 votes to 4. The matter
therefore remains in abeyance.—Mr. Munckton then
read the correspondence which had passed between him
and the Charity Commiasioners on the subject of the
sale of Bell Acre, from which it appeared that the land
was sold to a Mr. Dixon. Another discussion then
took place as to the manner in which the transaction
took place, it having been state,l at • previous vestry
meeting that the land was conveyed to the Rev. E. F.
Tram= and back again to Mr. Hopkins, one of the
churchwardens. The enquiry as to who Mr. James
Dixon was created a great deal of amusement. —Dr.
C. H. Parkinson_proposed that the sum of £5 be paid
annually to Mr. C. Munckton for keeping the church-
wardens' accounts and minutes. This was seconded
by Mr. llibben and carried unanimously.—The remain-
ing business of the meeting being the repair of the
Minster towers, a suggestion was made that a public
meeting be called to fully consider the matter.—A
vote of thanks to the Chairman concluded the
misting, which lasted for more than two hours.

AT the meeting of the Yeovil Board of Guardia
on Friday, it was stated that although the Board had
gone to the expense of appointing school attendance
officers to secure the attendance of children at the
parochial schools, the magistrates persistently refused
to put the law in force against negligent parents, and
In consequence the attendance of scholars was falling
off rapidly. A suggestion was made that the Bduca-

It wee determined to postpone action for the present.

SHAPTIEIBURY.

ST. 3AllllolSomoots.—A meeting of the ratepayers
of Shaston St. James was held in the Boys' School-
room on Monday evening, to consider the financial
condition of the schools. It appeared from the open.
ing statement of the Rev. J. Knapp, the rector, that
the schools had hitherto been supported by means of
the Government grant and voluntary subscriptions,
the late Rector ( Mr. Harkness) often having to pay
considerable sums from his private purse in order to
balance the accounts. Several of the subscribers
having recently died, it was estimated that in future
there would be • deficiency of about 00 per annum.
Two courses were open to the ratepayers, viz., to
consent to a voluntary rate,or to decline to do so,
and thus render a School Bo&rd necessary. It was
calculated that the estimated deficieny might be met
by • voluntary rate of 3d. in the pound.—After some
dlscunion, Mr. Robert B. Bricked proposed that the
ratepayers should consent to the voluntary rate.
This MA seconded by Mr. J. Antall, and carried
unanimously, everyone present being, avictly,
extremely anxious to avoid having a Bawl

M&KING THE EDUCATION ACT
RIDICULOUS.

It Is not often that • magistrate can't:tit:es himself an
educational examiner. When, however, on Thursday,
Mr. Paget at Hammersmith Police-curt for • short time
took upon himself the function of an inspector, he did so
to good purpose. A p irt har3h case of interference
on the part of • School Board officer had been brought
before him. A gentleman. named Kennedy, who fulfils
the highly reoponsible poeition of clas.ir al reader at
blesur. Spottiewooter, was summoned for not sending his
three children to school. The defendant twine unable V)
Annear was repreaentrt by his wire, who paid she was
educating her own children. which she thought wu
allowed, although the .officer had told her it WU not. She
had been • governess in • large school, end was perfectly
competent to teach lan children. Mr. Paget, who seemed
surprirel that the cave had been hrought be 10,3 him,
asked Captain P.irley, the local School Board Soperin•
tentlent, why he had thooght fit to take out • summons in
this instance. The captain repliei that the hou•et in the
street where the cl,f•tvinnt beet were inhabit it by perpoos
would corn, tinter the Act, al they drew the line at

nition and • very large stock of rifles, revolvers, and
