time in this part of England, and, for many reasons more !

weather prospects on Sufvfay were very threatening, and
the heavy rain which fell during the night seemed to augur
an unfavourable day, but on Monday ninrning there was a
more hopeful view, and IA the day advanced the weather
improved, and, taken altngether, it could scarcely have
been better for the gathering. The rain of Sunday night
released many country tueinbers, and Monday was fine
enough not to deter ordinary plessure-seekers from venture-
tug out. The Oddiellows were joined in the demonstration
by the local Foresters, who mustered strongly; and the
presence of about 200 juvenile o.l.lfellows and Foresters
greatly enhanced the interest taken in the procession.
The muster took place in the Rectory field, near the West

YEOVIL FAIR.

- --
FRIDAY.—The fine weather caused a large number
of farmers to remain at home haymaking, consequently
the attendance at the fair was not very large. There
was only a moderate supply of beef, which sold slowly
at 14s 64 to 155 per score. Poor stock were plentiful
but met a dull sale at late quotations. Dairy cows
went off rather mole readily. About 2,200 sheep and
lambs were penned. Some fat horn wethers brought
60s each, and cross-btud lambs fetched 325. Down
ewes realised 405 to 425. The pig pens were but
poorly supplied, about 200 only being on offer.
Porkers realised its 3d to ii. Gd per score, and there
was a decline of quite 2, in the pound on store pigs.
Horses did not make a Love show, and the stiff prices
asked for useful animals continued to check business
Decent hacks sold for £43 to Z5O, and good cart
animals £5O toZ7o.—At the COT exchange the general
dullness was observable. Wheat brought 415 to 425
per quarter. Oats, which were scarce, 255 to 305,
and beans sos to 545. Scarcely any barley on offer.
There were very few lots of cheese pitched. Rest

225 to 24a; and coloured 215 per cwt.

ME CORN AND CATTLf. TRADE.

The market' on Saturday were poorly attended, farmers
being busy with their hay ; the small trade done was at
very firm rates, and in sonic cases Is. more money was
realised. At Dorchester corn exchange the supply of
wheat was unusually short. although ii was wanted
by the local mitten., and fully 1a.., prices prevailed. All
feeding stuffs in small demand. The official returns of the
previous week grave wheat at 41.4 00. per imperial quarter
quarter (1r..0 quarters making £1,313 Els.), and barley at
U.-. —At Mr. Ensor's cattle sale there was hut a moderate
supply of stock, and the following prices were obtained :

SEEDS.

Our agricultural seed trade, as might be expected,
is now without any feature of interest, no speculation
in clover seed (as is sometimes the case in the interval
between the spring and autumn seasons) having yet
developed itself. A few samples cf new French
trifolium have come to hand from France, but values
are not at present definitely used. It is thought that
owing to the recent beneficial rains there will be no
very great demand for this article during the approach.
lug fall. Sowing mustard and rape seed are in
moderate request, at about late rates. Occasional
orders drop in for spring tares ; the prices made for
the few cotchcls forthcoming are almost without
precedent. Canary seed shows no pause in its down-
ward course; present currencies are from 505 to fibs
per quarter under the top price. Millet and hemp
seed are in steady request. Linseed is easier.—John

SHOCKING TRAGEDY IN SOUTHWARK.

Soon after ten o'clock, on Sunday morning, piercing
shrieks directed attention to a holt.° in one of the narrow
! streets of Southwark. Mrs. Grove, a neighbour, rushing
in, found a man named H George erbert, an Aihniralty
pensioner, holding a widow, named Mrs. Indermaur finely
round the back part of the neck with his left hand, whilst
with his right he was jagging and cutting her throat with
a razor. Mrs. Mayo:mt. who had followed Mrs. Grove
into the house, struck Herbert, and he released his bold
of the injured woman, who fell Into her arms, deluging
her with blood. Herbert retreated into his room, locking
the door. On the arrival of the police, the door was burst
open. The room was bespattered with blood, and in one
corner Herbert was seen lying in a pool of blood, with s
razor grasped in his right hand, and his throat cut front
ear to ear. Two cabs were sent for, and both were &act%
to the hospital.
The unfortunate woman, although almost choking with
loemorrbage, managed to articulate the following state-
ment:— For the pest six months I have been keeping
company with Herbert. When I entered his room he
kissed me, and drawing attention to my state (she being
near her confinement),rimmed me to cosmic anal live with
him altogether as his wife. I replied, 'Certainly not; I
will never have anything more to do with you.' He
'Oh, if that's going to be your gime. I will do for
you.' He then seized bold of me, anal throw me on the
door. He then took up the razor. I screamed for help,
when he cut toy throat. I said, 'Oh, Ilerbert, pray, for
God's sake don't."
_ .

Herbert was suffering from an attack of delirium
tremens.

On Sunday evening no hopes were entertained As to the
