started early on Bank Holiday fir an excursion to
Torquay, with about 200 on board. While near the
Devonshire watering place she made • trip in Torbay,

on Bank Holiday were very busy, conveying about
2,000 people between Weymouth and the Stony Isla
As we were informed by a former Mayor of the
borough, the politeness and urbanity of all connected
with this company have become quite a proverb in
Weymouth.
FL'.IIAL AND HONTICOLTUNAL SOCIA4I.—The first
show of this society will be held in the Alexandra

Italian Band will play at the show from 12.30 till 3,
the splendid band of the Pompadours (56th Regiment)
from 3 till 6, and the Italian Band from 6 till 7.20.

Tug WONDINJ! of BATHISO IN POITTLAND.—" Mar
me," said a lady from Weymouth, or farther inland,
the other day, "they tell me wonderful things about
the bathing in Portland—how that you are lowered
down by ropes over the rocks, that you go out to es&
by the railway, and are hauled in 'gain by enormous
tame crabs." Surprisiug an it may seem, the visitors'
Informant had only ex aegearated • part, and not
exp!ained the rest. The -Bathing Machine Company
have cleared away any "rocks" or boulders over which
the machines would have had to be let by ropes, end
• good bottom has been secured for the bathers' feet
to rest on by the removal of stone.; the machines,
which are good onto, run into the water smoothly on
gnide-rails without jerk, and the crabs are fully under
the control of the crab-master, Mr. Maxted, for they
are iron-hauling machines. A very pleasant feature
of the Portland bathing is that you approach through
the outer grounds of the Castle, which makes the affair
pleasantly retired.
SriarruaLteli.—d. certain On-hill young man, whose
name we will not expose, had lately bsen indulging 10
much in the cap that cheers and does inebriate, that at
last he got into that state where monsters vast and vile
haunted him day sod night. He rambled about the
island paying two visits to the station and another to
the railway station in search of someone whom he
could not find, and wile occasionally heard shouting
from the cliffs seaward—" There they are !" Let us
suppose • sail in sight appeared. After attempting to
dig potatoes on the turnpike-road, and jumping WNW the
heads of some children, his actions increased so MO&
in strangeness that the police took him for a lunatic
at large, and put him in durance vile. P.C. Stroud
took him to Dorchester, and while there had the
unwelcome task of watching over him for four days,
until et lot he came to his right mind, was restored to
sorrowing friends, and now ss, instead of potatoes,
ths staple crop of the Wand, freestone.
bfILANCHOLT DILATIL —A yasht it into Portland
on Sunday, containing its owner. Mr. Ellice, Inver-
nese, Scodand. wh with his lady, had been on •
' summer's cruise. On the next day, sad to relate, Mr.
Ellice was taken and died suddenly of heart disease.
The body was brought on shore, on Tuesday, in Wey-
mouth Bay, the pleasure-takers on the Esplanade
little guessing the business going on in the boat
alongdde the pretty schooner in the Bay. By the
night train the body was stint off to Inverness, for
' interment. Mr. Edward Ellice, of Invergarry end
Glenquoich, Inverness-shire, for • long number of
rears represented the St. Andrew's district of burghs.
The deceased gentleman was the eldest eon of the late
Right Hon. Edward Ellice, 11. P. of Glenquoich, by
' his marriage with lady Hannah Althea, daughter of
Charles, first Earl Grey, E.G. For • short time he
was memtier for Huddersfield, and had reproonted the
St. Andrew's district of burghs in the Liberal interest
fmtn 1557 down to the close of the late Parliament,
, when he retired. Mr. Ellice was twice married—
. secondly to the widow of Mr. Alexander Speirs, of
Eiderelie, Renfrewahlre. His age wadi 70.

Rae. E. BOLTON ON TIACHINO.—The last of the
' centenary services, for the present, was held on Friday
evening teat, when the Rev. E. Bolton preached •
special sermon in tire Primitive Methodist Chapel,
Fortune's-Well. The subject was "Religion. Educa-
tion," the duty of teaching being enforced from the
text Dent. vi., fiend 7.—" And these words which I
' command thee this day shall be in thine heart. And
' thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children,
and shalt talk of them when thou digest in thine
house, and when thou walked by the way, and whet%
thou lied down, and when thou rind up." The rev,
preacher spoke of—The duty of teaching, as enforced
' by divine command, by one's own interests, and ever
by natural instinct; he also showed the nos L
' requiem, and the degree in which it has been attended
' to. Only partially have parents or churches or echo.*
accomplished this work as yet, and he urged especialk
' that this centenary celebration should be made ths
' oocasion of • new start.—After the sermon there wo

Padgisegn (Wesleyan minister), Revs. Messrs. Waugh,
Kendall, Knit" and E. Bolton also tads' pas,
' A united meeting of the teachers oi the
' various Nonconformist Sunday Schools was hall at
Easton on Tuesday. when they decided to diastase
with army other tea in oonnedion with the centenary
celebration, but to have the sp-irts on Thursday (to-
day) in the field near the drill-hall, Easton ff the

borough members have expressed their intention el

Deraoesinstrre are programing apace on the Wey-
mouth side of the water, as well as in fashionable
Melcombe. Two rows of new houses built on worn-
out old gardens in Chspelry show a decided advance,
though it is not two score years ego since houses
occupied the same sites lately abandoned to briars and
thorns. Then the nest wall and handsome carved
stone entrance to the field of Mr. Devenish on the
road to the site of old liodwell, shows a further
advance, and, returning through Frauchiseystreet, the
gardens whioh were in the occupation of Mr. Samways
till the old gardener had passed the threescore years
and ten, and closely approached foursoore, are now the
site of comfortable new cottagee, each to have its
Mower knot in front, and its vegetable garden behind,
thus snaking the road to Rorlwell station lie yet
more between houses. Old Franchise-street sill
become more than ever deserving of its name, for these
new habitations must increase the numbers on the
voters' lists.
SODDEN DU= Or • Vntiant.-On Tuesday Mr.
, Edwin E. Whitaker, solicitor, of Fronts, Somerset,
who has been at No. 2, Brunsiwick-buildings about a
1 week, died suddenly. Mr. Whitaker was ara:tieenan
of full habit, and, when walking on the Es ode on
Sunday, felt very p early, and went to his house. He
bad been since taking medicine from a prescri lion he
had with him • but on Tuesday morning he did not get
up, and at bre:sklast.titne, the Rev. W. K Whitaker,
his son, took him some tea and an egg, which hi ate,
and also t tok two pills; be was then left to repose,
and apparently no danger was feared. But when
re-visited, about two o'clock in the afternoon, he w is
found dead. Dr. Griffin was sent for, but could only
confirm the fact that be was dead, and could not give
a decisive opinion on the canes of death, not having
attended him. It appears, however, that be has been
suffering from ht art disease, although it is not certain
that he has been specially attended by any medical
gentlemen for two )ear. past Mr. Whitaker was 65
years of ago. A report of the ebonite stenoss was com-
municated to the county coroner, G Symonds, Esq.

appeared for the Royal S. ciety for the Prevention of

Hoop:r said his witnesses had come from Bournir
mouth, and he sugg-sted their evidence should be

of the day. He continued that on the 26th July the
Major was on the sands with three small poodle dogs
chaitpd together. They were dragged into the water,
severely thrashed, and kept there till theirchains became
entangled, and they were then dragged along the sands
in a most distressed condition. - Robert Blackmon-,
said is Monday July 261, he was on the Esplanade
with his wife, and saw the defendant.-It appeared
that the summons was for the 27th, whereas this
ha .peued on the 26th. The maaistrates had no power
of admendment, therefore Mr. Hooper asked them to
&herniae I the caw, and grant a new summons.-Thls
was agreed to.
Tug STOSZ-THROWINO NUISAIIOII. —William King,
and Rickard Braes, two little bop, were summoned for
stone-throwing. A boy named Falience was also in the
case, but on the application of Mr. Vickery the Bench
dismissed the case against him and Symee for the
purpose of taking their evidence-P.C. Bartlett on
the 28th saw the boys making • noise in Chapelry and
afterwards found the public lamp fixed near Trinity
Cottages was broken. King admitted throwing
and breaking a pane of glass and a lamp. Spa=
Valence also told him so.-Richard Etyma, saw King
throw the stone and break the lamp, and Valiant*
also supported his testimony; but said King did not
throw at the lamp; they were all playing together.-
Mr. Supt. Vickery explained how dangerous this was,
for the stones thrown there would go into the back
yards of the houses in High-street. The rains of the
glue broken WWI ii. Ed.-The Mayor exhorted the
small boy, pointing out what mischief he might do;
but as he was very young, he would only be fined the
cost of the lamp pane, Is. 3d. —These more boys ware
brought up for a dialler offence, and in this ease also,
two were admitted Qoesn's *videos*, against; the
other, Preelerk Ferrell.-George Bolt was sitting in a
chair near the Royal Tavern, when he found stones
thrown at him by defendant, and • boy named Towilb.
Ferrell threw the last stone, and a man put hie hand
to his eye.-William DOUR spoke to being struck in
the eye with a stone near the Rodwell Tavern he was
also hit laths leg. Ferrell was sitting in the chair at the
time, and wittier went up and spoke to him.-Mrs.
Ferrell gave her boy a pretty good character, and had
been told they were throwing donee at each other.
He was 14 years old and went to work.-Flned 2s. 66.

THE CHARGE OF CRUELTY AGAINST
MAJOR BLUE.
This case came on before the Borough magistrates
on Thursday morning lest. Mr. R. N. Howard damp
ded the Major, and Mr. Pally Roo represeeted the

Mr. Joseph Price, magistrate for Hereford aid
Monmouth, voluntarily stated he saw Major Blue
