THe Ourneirs Gum Moos.— The visitors and
inhabitants of this fashionable watering pia*, will
shortly have the opportunity of hearing some first-
class glee singing. The Orpheus Glee Union, con-
sisting of eight male voices, have been long known
to the inhabitant/6 of the metropolis, and have been
favoured with the distinguished patronage of royalty
I and the nobility of the land. They are expected in
Weymouth in about a fortnight, and have taken the
Assembly-room of the Burden Hotel.
VICSTRY MKETING.—A meeting of the parishioners
was held in the vestry room, Melcouthe Regis, on

Western Railway Company have announced that
they will run a cheap excursion train from Wey-

to return on the following Friday.
FORISTRT.—We understand that the Forester's
Court. Prate of Feathers, is about to be removed to
the linure-room of the Literary and Scientific Insti-
tution. We have no doubt that this new movement
will 8000 be found to be a @te in the right direc-
tion, as many persons withhold their countenance
from such societice, solely on account of their meet-
ings being held at public-houses, whereby the habits
and principles that were deigned On be inculcated
are often entirely frustrated. The Court Plume of
Feathers has certainly made rapid progress since its
establishment, and we shall be fully prepared tolearn
hereafter that, compared with kindred societies in
the town. lira' keels at tbe " top of Charge."

and lived in • cottage in the yard and sold ginger
beer. Complainant went there to purchase a bottle.
Seeing defendant's father washing his feet, complainant
declined to enter, which caused the "green eyed
monster" to point to unfaithfulness on the part of
defendant's armee, and dishonour to the complainant,
as the latter had, when the man had been working,
otecoaionally gone into the house and drank
the ginger beer. A few words accordingly ensued, and
