note to the Gardener's CArowde on celerT rot, Mr. R.
Lye, of Charminster, writes as follows: ' —I am sorry
to say my earliest batch of celery corresponds in every
respect with that of Mr. E. Morgan. To all outward!
appearance it could not look bealtheir, the foliage twins:
remarkably fine and still quite green ; but on digging it
I find more than half of it quite unfit for use In any
way. The latter batch is at preeent sound." "
also says :—" Mr. Morgan's note on rot in celery
reminds me to ask whether my experience of the com-
parative abeence of the celery maggot is general. I
don't think I have heard any complaint respecting it
this season. If this is the case it would be interesting
to learn from entomologists the reason, if they are able
to give it. Did the wet summer of 1879 affect the flies

MELPLASR AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

On looraday lest. at Bastninster, the annual exhibition
rposa,horew,cattle,ect,took plaoa,the weather being cold.
but dry and favourable throughout There was • large
eggrasnce of agriculturists from various parts of the
county and a deal of interest was manifested In the
exhibt pfor competition.
The , ACIII was held Inn field on the Stoke-road, about
half-guile from the town. The judging terminated about
three o'clock when the company adjourned for dinner.
The roots in all classes were exceptionally good and One,
much finer and a more extensive show than ,n previous
years.
The show of sheep was not large, but those on view were
of good quality. and in horn rams there was • good com-
petition. There was a good show of hunters, and the leap.
they were required to take showed their racing capabilities
to advantage. Cart mares and colts were fewer than in
previous year.; but some muenster and well-proportioned
animals were on the ground.
There was a fine s'aow of hulls, the short-horns being of
exceedingly g oil cis., and tho same may fairly be said
of the dairy cows. The three-years-old heifers were really
good, and the two years formed a variety making up an
extraordinary competition. comprising crow-brads, Devon'.
and Herefords.
Besides the above attraction, another in the shape of a
butter and cheese show, held in the National Schoolroom,
received a large number of visitors during the day. This
exhibition was quite deatinct from the society, but it
proved a thorough succus. The firkin butter wax
arranged on sideboards In the large room, whilst the roll
and printed occupied a space in the centre. The room
was prettily decorated with exotic plants, and ODO could
not help being struck with the efficient arrangement
throughout.
A conspicuous feature wits some trailing widen:rug in
pots, shown by Mr. J. Mullins, of Pemba's) House.
Above one of the pots was • sketch of a watercress vendor,
and underneath a quotation from Shakespeare's All's
well that ends well." "We may Fick • thousand salad
ere we light on such another herb.
The cheese show in an adjoining room contained some
splendid raw-milk and Dorset blue, from some of the hest
makers in the county. The Bishop of the Diocese, who
confirmed at the parish church that morning, paid a visit
to this show altar the ordinance, and was so pleased with it
that his lordship expreued a desire to convey some of it

KILLED BY ELECTIAIDITY.

The Cues yacht Lindh% with the Grand Duke
Constantine on board, loft Brest, on Wednesday, on
i.m...ray to Russia. An incident of a startling character
to mar the equanimity of the trip from the
Ilry7l"e to Brest. A man engaged as stoker warn asked
on Saturday night to hold an electric lamp that woo
being swung for lightening the stokeholes. He
Incautiously touched the wire with one ot his hands,
and with the other completed the current by grsaptng
the bream rod surrounding the lamp. The force of the
Cermet struck tdm down dead. All effort, to revive
him were unavailing, and the disintegration of the
tissues of the body was found next day to be so great
that it was felt to be neceseary to bury him at is+,
The ornate ritual of the Greek Church added to the
striking character of a ceremony that could not (all to
be unusually impressive. Tho service was conducted
by the shipe's chaplain in black robes, and the ref reins
were chanted by the dead man's shipmates, Admiral
Popoff and the officers joined in carryintt the bier to
%he main deck, and the chanting was contented till the
body was committed to the sea.

ENTERTAININIFT.—An anketainment consisting of
readings, songs, glees, &c., was given en Tuesday
evening, 19th inst., by the choir, assisted by several
friends of neighbouring parishes. The Rev. Day
presided. A nice selection of instrumental music was
given by Mr. T. hlusselwhite (harp), Mr. H. Pearce
(violin), and Mr. Clarke (harmonium), as an introduc-
tion of the concert. Mr. Helladey's song, "What is
an Englishman made of," was well received, as well
as the reading of the rector. The good old song. "Men
of Harlech," by the choir, was given in &style meriting
applause. "Educational Facts," by Mr. Halladey,
peeved awfully amusing, the reader being incessantly
Interrupted by the roars of laughter from the audience.,
The pretty little song, " Little Sister is gone to Sleep,
was given in • style both pleasing and intelligent. The
Instrumental artistes again charmed the hearers with a
lively air' after which Mr. Fowler commanded • good
hearing by his " Harr() Moore'm Present to the Priest."
The song, "A Cup of Tea," by Mr. Meyrick Meath,
elicited decided applause. The first part of the pro-
gramme was brought to a finale by the choir singing
"The Soft Winds around us."—ln the second Part the
performers were the same, with the exception of •
song rendered in a masterly manner by fb.. Clarke.
and a reading by Mr. Dean, entitled—' Miss Brown."
"The Beautiful Baby," by Mr. W. Beatable, deserved
the great applause it received. Mr. Halladey's comic
created more than moderate applause, the audience
demanding an encore. The song, "Good-bye, John,"
by Mr. Meyrick Meath, was capitablv rendered,
like-
wise requiring an encore, for which "The Little Pigs"
was sung, amidst much laughter. "The National
Anthem " brought a most suociesful entertainment to

EXTRAORDINARY SHIPPING CASE.
HOW LIVIA ASH) VILSAZIA ARE LOST.

On Monday last the Poole magistrates-- the Mayor(G.
Curtis, Eng ), and Messrs. Stone and Western—adjn-
(fleeted, under the powers given them by the Merchant
Shipping Act, upon a claim brought by the captain .4
a yowl against the owner. During the hearing of the 1
case the admissions made forcibly revealed a few causes
why the names of so many 'hips are to be found msin
the " missing" list of Lloyd's.
The plaintiff, for whom Mr. Aldridge appeared, „aa
an old man, named William Gennery, and the defend-
ant was a London lawyer, named 1 %miens oton, living
at 12, Great Swan Alley, Moorgate-street. He
conducted his own defence, in the abeence, ae he
ex' lained, of his counsel, who was unable to be present.
The plaintiff claimed £39 10s. due to him for six
months' wages as captain of. the ship Patriot, the
property of the defendant.
The defendant first "jested to the summons as
illegal, upon the ground's that the stnnon4 contained
the words "under an agreement on or about, kc,"
whereas the precise date should have been specified.
He based his objection upon a case—the Queen r.
Shinfield—mentioned in hast's Reports, but as it
appeared the date of his work is 1812, long_ before the
Memhant Shipping Act was passed, the Bench over-
ruled it. _ _

•
The plaintiff's claim, as set forth by Mr. Aldridge,
arose under the following circumstance. :—ln April he
Wan engaged by the defendant to sail a ship from
I A.ntion to Guion. He got as far RAPl3.lllo.oh.andthol
the vhip was found to he in such aleakycoislition that ho
u ay oblige, I to put in, and there he was det.aine. I come
time, twins overhauled by " Plimsoll's men." An
agent from Mr. Noton CILMO and looked after the ship,
and he cent it n to Par for clay. After he had been
there some time he sailed for Hull, but the
weather was so bad that about three weeks ago he was
compelled to put in at Portland, with the loss of his
mate, who was killed by falling the rigging. The
agent again came down, and • his orders the ship
oiled on the Sunday. A u ' gale arose, and she

was so much knocked about that the captain Wig
obliged, for the safety of the vessel, to rim inte Stud-
land Bay. Eventually, finding himself unable to put
to se., he came on to Poole, lie telegraphed to klie
owner, and the agent again came down, and the plain-
tiff was discharged without further notice, and he had
been unable to obtain a penny 1 the wages due to
him. Further than th4t, the agent, during his
absence from the ship, yestro ed all his papers, and his
goods were thrown Overboard.
After evidence, the Bench, after a consultation, said
Upon the evidence which had been adduced they had
decided that no agreement as to any specific amount of
wages had been proved, and, even suppoing it had,
they were of opinion it had been rendered void by the
drunkenness and reglect of duty by the the plaintiff.
—They dismissed the awe, but ordered the defendant
to pay the fees of the Court.
