4riflMisTvß NEwTov.—Mest the shops in t his
town were closed on Wednesday, and business limo
pendeil, in order to sive those who wished it a Mai.
dtv. a boon much nopmeiated by almost evervOne.
hi Sunday week an eloquent address was delivered
in our parish chureh, by our worthy vicar, the Rev.
F. 11. Lulu vox, on behalf of the Diocesan Church
Building Society. At the close of the service, sob.
script-lons were received at the doors in silo of the
same. _

on Monday week, the girls at OUT National
School, through the huttrumentality of the Misses
Bashwood and Long, were treated to a tea and
other gifts hr the seined. The children highly ap-
preeiated the kinilnoss shown to them.
Coals were supplied to a great number of poor
families on M lay, at a reduced price, which were
thankfully received. We earnestly hope that when .
the collectors for this charity make their annual
the same will be fully reaponded to, especially
so on account of the prevent inclement winter, and
many of the poor being out of employment.
On Wedneaday the inmates of our union, the
miniber of whom. is considerably increased during
the present winter, were plentifully regaled with
the usual old English fare—mast beef and plum
pudding,. the expenses of which were defrayed by
public voluntary snbseription.
WISIRORNR.—Our butchers exhibited a splendid
show of Christmas beef and wether mutton.
The exterior of Mr. Clifton's shop was illuminated
with gas and decorated with holly ; but Miners.
Thomas Munekton and Son appeared to take the
palm for extreme beauty of colour and excellence
in feeding. Most of their oxen came from the
Yeovil Cattle Show, and quite a clearance was made
by Saturday night.
Tux Box. Mits. Ilidigt.Ev's Box OP
MissiNG 3EWEl.HT.—Stretwous exertions have been
made by the police to trace the missing box and its
contents. via., a lady's gold watch and gentleman's
gold HA chain attached, and emerald, ti ii,
and turquoise rings. The latter are of very peculiar
form, one hat three small teeth set in, and another
has hands clasped, in tine gold. Superintendent
Itaynton has been busily engaged in his investiga
thou since the loss, and it appears to be Min general
opinion that a deep-laid scheme was plotted by SoMO
one acquainted with its contents. Information has
been circulated far and wide, and .C. 50 reward is
offered for its recovery.
VICILANCK OF TM: FOLIC/4-OUP police appear
to have been active during the past two months,
having no less than ei4ht cases of theft for trial at
the next quarter sessions. Some of time depredators
are very old offenders.
Poom- - We are glad to find the spirited ap-
peal of Captain Parr was met with an equally
spirited responee--more than twenty persons having
joined the corps since the issue of the appeal. On
M lay evening sixteen members took the oath.
Mr. Padgett, the supeTrintendent of the Kinson
pottery, hieing among the number. Seven men em.
ployed at the pottery ware also sworn. We have
no doubt a *mond company will be speedily estab-
'jabot iir this town—a fad which will add greatly
to the interest of the Volunteer movement in
Dorset.
ANCIENT ORDER OF FORISTERS.—G. NV. Frank-
leo, Hail., M. P., has forwarded his annual subscrip-
tion of £2 24. to the Court of the Ancient Order of
Foresters in this town.
Yaw TonsPERANCL HA/X.—The friends of tempe-
rance in this town propose erecting a handsome and
commodious building, to be used as a Temperance
Hall. The plans have been prepared by Mr.
Philip Brannon, of Southampton, and several liberal
aulaseriptions have been received. Our esteemed
representative. 11. Danby Seymour, Esq., has sub-
scribed £241. The foundation stone will be laid early
in January.
Surnisonsit. —The intense frost of the latter part
of last and early part of this week afforded the
lovers of skating an opportunity of following their
charming said beautiful exercise upon the lake in
Slierborne Park. There were two or three immer-
sions, Messrs. Ilarston, Gill, and Burgess going
through. but without sustaining any injury.
m lay was bat partially observed as a holiday
in this town, in nonvequenee of the grocers having
dech„ed to shut, or at least one of their body, the
rest following Suit. The butchers also kept open,
and one linen draper. The partial closing had
an
apraranCe even wore dull than • town wears when
every shop is shut; and the inetesim" of tbe
