FRONI RECTORY TO CONVENT.

A STRANG' "TORT.

A sad circumstance has caused oonaiderable excite
meat in and around L a parish not far from
Presteign. The rector's daughter was in the habit of
attending service at a neighWuring church, which is
mosidered very" High, and she there imbibed a
liking for that ceremony which Low Churchmen say
Is the shadow too often mistaken for the substance.
She, besides, was supplied with a store of Ritualistic
literature to counteract the milder teachings of horn.;
and under these combined influences she soon, so far
her family was etkosernesl, was "not herself at all."
It was hoped, however, that her strange religionists'
would a time wear off—that the cheerful and refined
Maumee of a Chastain home would satisfy all her
efforts as regards her preparation here for hereafter.
One morning recently the rectal, door was found open
when the domestics demended ; and as Mi.—
did not appear at the break( ,st tablei_her POOR] was
entered. Only to be found empty. The young lady
had left home early that morning, walked to —, take
the first train to Hereford, and gone direct to the
convent at Bartestree where she is now to the great
grief of her family and of the whole neighbourhood.
The Ritualistic services at W . and the literature
given her to 'tensity her faith, had been too much for
ber common sense and her Protestantism; she
went over to Rome. How it comes that the convent
authorities received a young lady without her father's
eeneelet, and that father a clergyman of the Church of
we do not take it upon ourselves to say.
But they ey did, and the yoptg lady is an inmate of the
convent now. —Hereford Jouris44.

tensed
rounds of Nordenfeldt ammunition has been
for the use of her Majesty's ships in the
Mediterranean squadron, and is now in course of
transmission from the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich for
immediate despatch. The order was received tines-
peo4odly, and the ammunition had to be drawn from the
magazine at Upnor, and, contrary to practice, during
the night two sailing barges were loaded with the
cartekiges in order to save time. The first of these was
towed to Woolwich by the steam thy Monkey, which
was lent by the Admiralty for the purpose. At the
Royal Arsenal the Nordenfekits are now being trans.
(erred to railway trucks, which will proceed direct to
Portsmouth. The chief object of the Nordenfeldt guns
is to protect ironciads from the attack of torpedo
boats.

NURSES FOR THE SICK POOR.

The MAYOR by circular called a meeting far Wedrys to,
afternoon. at the Guildhall. in the following terms :—" It
having been proposed that an effort should he msdo to
provide Duro s for the sick poor of this town, the Kty or
will be glad to meet you and any friends whom you think
may be interested is the movement,' (eamin( dote and
time) "to take such steps as luny be neoessary to give
effect to ths proposaL"
The meeting was attended by the Mayor. It or. J. I).
Addison, Rio. W. S Shottleworth, Rev. M. D olington.
Dr. Lush, D. Simpson, and a numb oof 1.14 ie I. A'wr the
Mayor had introducod the subject, . let r was real Ir ,m
the Iles,. T. A. L (heaves, wLo atnuosled that nurses n.ight
be trained ot the Weymouth lienpital.. .

The Rm. W. S. SLIUTTLZWORTH spoke o! tl a 'rat help
he had received in Lis fo.mer push from the nurses of
tbe Salisbury Diocesan Institution.
Li:. LUSH support, I eh it Hr. ShettLiworth s 'id, sail
acknowledged the {rest advantiges be had himself
obtained from the Salsbury nurses; when he wanted •
nurse, he telegraphed and one came down. He saw
obstacles in the way et the plan. one was the want of
funds ; even the Salsbury Institution was languishing for
want of funds; Vie, the Weymouth Hospital was too
small to train nursca and he (Dr. Lull) doubted whether
there was such a need of trained imam in Wayinout'i.
Hr. Sissreog agreed with a great deal of what Dr. Lush
had said; be c disidered the institutions of Weymouth
were not large enough to train nurses, and be euggosted
that the plan should have a wider scope by embracing the
county, and that the County Hospital should be used for
trainii?;. . . .

Dr. Lusu was asked whzdher nurses could be trained at
the Dorset Comfy Hospital. and he replied that it was
not large enough ; they had 5 hods. Therefore, ê fortion,
nurses cannot be trains! at the small institutions of
Weymouth
Rev. J. &runic:nog explaMed that the object was to
obtain nurses for the po u. alone, and not for the sick of
other class,. The nurse.; were to go from house to house
and attend to the poor.
Dr. TUMID and Rte. Mr. DODINOTON agreed with what
Kr. Stephenson had said, and ultimately • resolution
was proposed by Dr. LUSH, that the Mayor should
communicate with dm Salisbury Diocesan Training
Institution for Nurses, and Sad out whether promoters of
the object in Weymouth can work with them la any way.
We believe it is likely a committee will be formed, to
consider how the el.j,ct can be carried out.

the ambassadors that it has resolved to surrender

that province to the Montenegrins by pacific means.
The conclusion of a convention is, however, necessary.

Mr. H. Dickinsoo mipeared for the complainant,
Mr. Treranios represeuted the defendant.
This OW arose out of one heard last Thursday, when
Pride was ausimoned for haring damaged a brougham,

Complainant now dated that Keeping evaded the
toll by going down • bye-road. He awaited his coining
on his return from Poole, and the defendant then
lashed his horse, lashed him as well with his whip,
and ultimately got away without paying the toll.
Mr. Trevanion orom-examined the complainant at
length to show that this bye-road wee • highway, opals
to the public, and that, therefore, the defendant had •
perfect right to go round it.
Witnees denied that be had inflicted the damage to
be seen upon the panel of the carriage. Dr. Smyth
might have sworn last weak that he was in the carnage
and waa awoke by the crash which ensued from
attack.
Mr. Trevanion : But doctors do not generally make
mistakes.

They do sometimes.
Mr. Trevanion I know that sometimes they
_do
but then they generally put them underground. (Much
laughter.)
The magistrates decided that the Langley-romd was
a highway, and dismissed the case of evading the
tolls, and that the damage done to the carriage was
Dot wilfully done, and dismissed that case, each party

Nippard was summoned by Francis Coed=
for an assault. The parties were fishermen, and had
quarrelled about the places their respective boats

Nippard knocked Condon down. Nipp.rd did not
deny that he hail " gid em one," and MY fined ss. and

A meeting for the purpose of considering the ques-
tion of closing public-houses on Sunder" WM held in
the Town Hall, Tuesday night, the Mayor prodding.
There was a crowded attendance, which amused itself
by singing "Role Britannia" until the chair WAS
taken. As soon as the deputation began to speak the
greatest uproar prevailed, and after halt an hour's
noisy ation a resolution WAS moved and
seconded that the speakers be not heard. The motion
was not put, but the Mayor declared the meeting was
dissolved. Boon afterwards he vacated the chair, but
the uproar continued until the deputation left the
platform. The opponents to the scheme then took
p0••••s(00 of it, and held it until the meetini gradually
dispersed. Great excitement prevailed in the town,
and the circumstance that special constables were
sworn in by the magistrates in the morning lent colour
to the belief that there would be a repetition of the
row which took place three years ago, when the roughs
did considerable damage to the Town Hall.
Fortunately, however, no very serious results followed

HALF HOLIDAY MOVEMENT.
rb tAt Editor.

Sir,—Having recently come to Dorchester, I was
surprised at being told that there was no half-day
Holiday in the town. I could scarcely believe such
was the cam at first, but it haa nevertheless been fully
Impressed both on my hands, brain, and memory, by
haying to plod at work from Monday morning to
' Saturday night. Now I call it a disgrace to any
town (if there be another besides Dorchester which I
very much doubt.) to leave all the employers of the
place to and their recreation and amusement on the
Sabbath day, and should they happen to forget to
attend chnrch or chapel, and go in search of fresh air
and exercise to help them to bear the toils of the
ensuing week, they will I suppers be considered nui
w te
Who is to blame for this state things, it
cannot be the employees, for they would be only to
igialr have the chance of a half-day's amusement, the
consequently falls upon the employer, and I
madder It shameful that they can allow those beneath
them to go from week's end to week's end without one
hour's time to engage in that search for health No
necessary to us all. Why don't the generous and
largelsearted employer* (for such there are I am
convinced) set • noble example to their more cold
hearted neighbours, for they may rest assured that
they. wen he the gainers in the long run, their
employees will work harder and have more energy for
their work than they had before, and at last they
will have the satisfaction of knowing that they have
done something to make life more pleasant to those
ommodsat upon them.
