narrow valley, in which, behind • thorn bush, was placed
the slipper with the dogs. The valley being very narrow,
the ground rose rapidly on the other side, and, being very
seers, ill suited those dogs whose hearts were not in the
right place; and this made the courses run off here very
one-sided, it generally being a repetition of one dog with
the game, and the other taking an observation in the rear.
In tee first round of the Wed Knoyle, some pretty trials
took place, although in the first between Peut Etre and
Minstrel Buy, the fi inner did not make a show of a C 0111,12,

there was • lot of give and take work, Belem getting the

In the first round for the Mere Down, Mr. Badcork's
Badger was beaten for speed by. Marna, who always had
the fiat of her from th beginning, and although Badger
ran gamely she was out from end to end.
The weather up to this point had been very murky, but
the mist riled away and the sun now came out in all his

MARRIAGES, BIRTHS AND DEATHS
IN Dowk.
The returns just limed by the Registrar-Genera
prove in the most satisfactory way the healthfulnesl
and generally good sanitary condition of the county,
Dorset being singled out as ex.hibiting a death-rate of
less than 16 per 1,000 as against the mean rate of 20.8,
and of increasing figures in several shires up to Lanca-
shire which tops the fatal roll with no less than 27.7.
In the matter of infant mortality, from which may be
inferred much of the social life of the people, Dorset
Is mentioned as jiresenting the lowest rate, the inaaliot'-
tion of deaths under one year to births being in this
county 80 per 1,003 while it was 30 in Leicester.
This fact indicates the healthy conditions aud the
maternal care under which children in Dorset are
reared, as compared with infants in the high wage paid
town of Leicester, where thousands of women are em-
ployed in the hosiery and woollen goods factories. In
the diarrheas& rate, too, which the Registrar-General
observes is generally meet fatal in those towns which
at all seasons show an excessive infant mortality,
Dorset is so free from the disease as to Were only 0.6,
while in Preston it was 8.3. With regard to scarlet
fever, which has been epidemic of late, Bridport only
of the Dorset towns is mentioned in the black list of
those places where the disease was especially fatal;
but we trust that the sanitary measures the inhabitants
of Bridport have taken in hand will, ere long, place
the town ins thoroughly satisfactory position. Turn-
ing to the details given concerning Dorset, we find that
during the quarter ending 30t11 June, there were 379
marriages, being an increase of 30 over the three ye us'
average; the births were 1,337, ra fewer than the
averse, and the deaths were 741, being an advance of
85. Of those dying 107 were infants, and 247 had
attained to the age of 60 and upwards. But the
deaths comprise the following cruses, which are classed
as " jireventible" by good sanitary conditions of life,
and therefore our Rural, Urban, sod Municipal
authorities have still much to du, notwithstanding our
immunity in Dorset from a high death-rate: 10 died
from measles, 58 from scarlet fever, 10 from diptheria,
three from whooping.cough, 16 from fever, 29 from
diarrhcea, and three from cholera—a total of 129 lives
lost (as it is maid) for want of good water and pure air
in and about dwellings. Anal this record fails to note
the many who sicken from such diseases, but do not
die, although it is well known that in many cases those
complaints leave behind enervated frames and debili-
tatM constitutions. This question of health, therefore,
assumes wide ramifications, and deserves the constant
and earnest attention of the authorities. There were
25 deaths from violence—a number which seems large,
yet, in proportion to other counties, Dorset has a low
average of sudden and shocking deaths. There were
36 inquest caste, and 40 persons diedpoiliztti as c institu-
tions. The natural increase of the • nw no
lees than 596, or about 40 per cent, t must not be
supposed, however, that the real addition to our
numbers is so great, indeed there is good reason to
believe that the population of Dorset is about station-
ary, the fresh lives only compensating for the constant
drain made by emigration to the large towns in various
=hilif the country. The following are details of the
for the quarter ending 30th September, in the
various - sub-clistri eta :

• IA the 16 deaths from scarlet fever, 0 were registered
in July. 4 in Amulet, and 6 in September.
The letter W denotes that the Sub-district contains within
Its limits a Workhouse belonging to the District or Union; U
Indicates Hospital or 'Amery ; and L Lunatic Asylum.
It is noticeable that there Wad not a single death
recorded from small-pox, and we have omitted the
column devoted to that disease; this is a sufficient
answer to those who fanatically oppose vaccination.
The virulence and fatality of small-pox, and its horrible
scarring of those who recover, have been wondrously
mitigated by vaccination, and, when it is performed
with ordinary care, no ill effects ensue. Of the details
given in these tables, the record of deaths from scarlet
fever calls for remark. In Weymouth, 13; in Port
land, 16; in Bridport, 9; in Burton Bradstock, 11 died
of this " preventible" disease. In the three former towns
the authorities are earnestly setting themselves to
eradicate the causes of such complaints, and this return
should stimulate them in their work; while the rural
sanitary authority of Burton Bradetock and the
inspector of nuisances are loudly called upon by those
11 lives destroyed, with one from measles, and one
from diarrhuia, to adopt precautionary measures
without delay. In several places diarrbrea has pre-
vailed to some extent, indicating unfavourable sanitary
conditions, and the cholera column gives one death
from that terrible disease in each of the sub-districts
of Blandford, Cranborne, Sherborne, and Lyme.
These black columns for Dorset are, perhaps, as free
as most other counties, but we should much like to
see a barer record. Happily Gillingham, Stalbridge,
Lytchett, here Begin, Abbotsbury, and Puddletown
have this quarter had no deaths from either one of the
"preventible causes." Yet it was not long since that
Lytchett, at any rate, was in a sad state; but the
sanitary authorities vigilantly eradicated the source of
the disease, and the result in their case demands that
similar ones should be treated in the same way, and
promises an equally gratifying issue. Health of body
largely contributed, according to the maxim, to health
of mind, and both are inestimable blessings. In this
regard these statistics are of great importance, and we
have enlarged upon their details with a view to direct-
inis public attention more closely to the subject.
To complete the record, we add the acreaßhpordri-
'Atkin, ' in the quarter ending " June,
and births and deaths in the quarter ending 30th
September, in the various Superintendent,
districts of the county :-
