interested in the greet question now attracting the

In your valuable paper just to may a few words °on-
opening those persons who were robbed at the South-
Western Station,. on the 90th inst.? Two pewee
were going to Weymouth by the one o'clock train;
they had taken their Uokets, and had gone across on
the Weymouth platform. One of them had not been
there more than two minutes before they got in the
carriage, but immediately upon doing No one missed
herpuree. Abe at mos got out, and told one of the
r,thdals bee pocket had been picked, and desired him
to stop the train, she having seen • suspicious-looking
maa imtedg by her side. The official said he coold
not, es the whelks bad just blown. The train oonld
have been esitly stopped. That, sir, happened in the
ipth women robbed, and no one allowed
to dap the raln, to let them kok in the carriages to
sae U they could point out anyone whom they might
=et. If the station-master cannot attend to every
why not give another official power to stop a
train nodes such cdronmstances ? Alter the train was
gone someone went alter a policeman, but when he
came the train was near Weymouth. A telegram was
a once sent to Weymouth, to say there were suspici-
ous chemises in the beck carriages, but not a word
that anyone'a pocket bad been picked. I am of a
strong °pities that if the pollee had been there those
*lc-pockets would have been caught. Only the day

And no node* taken of it. Surely there must be a
mistake somewhere, People to from the town to the
station , and within five minutes after they are there
to be robbed and no notice taken, and DO one allowed
to stopa train. One of the women insists that if the
trigs had been stopped she would have had her money
again. For my part, I hope the company will make

moned by the Sharborne Highway Board fo: not
repairing a road approaching i,ee railway between the
parishes of kindford and Hummer.—Mr. Watt'
appeared for the Highway Board and Mr. Cruttwell,
of From., on behalf of the G. W.l. Compan•• denied
their liability.—Me. ChJrles Edward Lanecale, who
was called by Mr. Watt+, Laid he was an engineer and
WM employed by the G.W.R. Company in the year
18,1 to consti act the bridg+. He commenced to nine
an embankment at Bryant's Cottage, a id carried it as
frr as the old bride, and altered the level of the old
road to make an approach to Vs bridze. The alter-
ation nommen,: d opposite Bryant's Uott:ge on thu
Abder side. Two ditches, above and below Bryant's
Cott ge, were fi led in by the Company, and he (wit-
nee), was iosti acted to cover them. The Company
hal rep ired the road several times since the embank-
ment was raised.—Crannexamined : It was necessary
to divert the ditch in order to con-tract the road. Tbe
road was below the level of the county before the
Compan) altered it. He saw the work done, and had
entered several actions against the Company and won
them all (laughte+).—Williane Priddie seed be had

and Mr. Daly, M.P., arrived at Cork on Satuiday,

people. Czasidersible excitement prevailed °wale/ to
an eaten lye robbery of dynamic., from L UI. 'amid
magazine on the previous Light. Mr. ParneL, ad-
dressing a public meeting, wad farmers should beware
..f asaling themselves of the provisions of the Land
Act, as the In h people would, in cam they did,
compel LllOlll to ~.ay their labourers properly and their
cieute t soupkeepers. Speak ng at a banquet subs
sequently, he said they were not prepared to pay
m .re than the original value of the Irish land—
three milions—and would not continue paying erne-
teen millions.

0, Saviour, I have nought to plead
On Berth below, or Heaven above.
But only my exceeding need
And Thy exceeding love.
The need will moon be past and rm.
Exceeding great but quickly oer ;
The love immense la all Thine own,
And lasts for evermore.-

A collection wee merle at the close of the termen,
amounting to DI 3s. 50.
After the gamine, a large number of friends assembled
at the site of the new building, which already is
making good progress. The site, which is the old
Pound Inclosure, is admirably suited for the purpose,
and affords every malefaction to the committee and
friends. The land was obtained on very advantageous
terms from the authorities of the Duchy of Cornwall
Among them present were the Rev. Canon Smith, who
had cemented to lay the atone, the vicar, the Rev. A.
A. Leonard, who cat:dated, the Rev. H. Everett. Han.
and Rev. A. Spring-Rice, Rev. C. F. Powys, Rev.
Sanctuary, Mr. Robert Hunt, besides a number of
ladies. The proceedings commenced with the hymn

"OGod our help In ages wt.
Our hope for years to come,"
The singing being led by the choir b les of Fordington
church, under Mr. Norman, the organist. As appro-
priate form of prayer was then offered by the vicar,
after which the rev. canon, being provided with a
handsome new trowel and mallet, went through the
usual form and declared the stone well and truly load.
rie laid that stone, he said, in the fervent expectation
as well as the earnest prayer that it might be • lasting
blessing to the people of this place, and the means of
preserving
them from the degrading and ruinous sin of
Intemperance.
This concluded the ceremony, which throughout was
of the simplest character.
The Vicar invited persons who wished to lay any
donations on the stone towards the building fund, to
do so, and £lO 16s. &ed. was given in this way, making
the amount of the collections during the day exactly
£l5. _

Mr. Chairman is the architect, and Mr. L. Tilley the
builder. From the plans, which were to be seen on the
site, it would appear the building will present., when
completed, a very pleasing appearance. 'I here will
be the usual rooms and offices of • coffee tavern, and
a most commodious club or recreation room, which
we have no doubt will be highly appreciated.

POOL I.

-
"TUB Elirril."—We understand the member for the
borough, Mr. C. Schreiber, has forwarded to Mr.
Frank tsallard. the secretary to the ' • Bonfire Boys," a
cheque for £5 is aid of the coming demonstration.
PouricaL.—lt is said that the Conservative party
claim that, as judged by the recent rension, the
strength of panne in the borough remains unaltered.
They do not bring forward figures to show this, and it
certainly seems an extraordinary statement when the
Liberals have conclusively shown they have a gain of
21 on the Parliamentary register and 33 on the
Municipal.
Fasam4sonlY.—We understand the New Hannan
Lodge In Market-street, the foundation stone of which
was recently laid by Bro. W. D. Duipials, W.M.,
will be rattly for the opening ceremony in a few days.
Bro. Crickmay of Weym mil, is the architect, and
the way in which the work has been carried out has
given great satisfaction, the hall being said to be un-
equalled by any other in the tiounty.
Citing Recur/nom. —The choirs of Parkstone church
and of the Chapel of the Holy Angels had an outing
on Wednesday. They started by an early and
arrived at Winchester in good time to attend Matins
in the Cathedral. The day was very fine, an I the
excerdonists visited various pieces of interest in and
about the town, among them the venerable Hospital
! of St. Cross, and the Museum in the Guildhall. Soine
I members of the choirs were unable to accompany the
party, but the number actually going amounted, with
the View and Mr. Pantiles, to forty-one.
Tat Vounrrizae.—The monthly shooting for the
challenge cup presented by 'Amt. ltlinhe, took place
at the Batt, on Saturday afternoon. The nage' were
200, 500, and 600 yerds. It was won by Private S.
Riddell with • grand total of 80, and for the 3rd time,
so that it is now his priperty. Private Riddell made
out and away the hest score, the nearest approach to
him being that ol Private E. Woolfrey, who had won
it once if no: twice before, and who made 68. Private
Lane came next with 61. Then followed, Private
, Knight with 57; Drill-Instructor Hurst, 55; Private
Hawthorne. 51; Corporal Bloomfield, 46; and Private
Phipoard, Xi. There were eight other couipstitors,
but they retired at starree. Tae winner's scores at the
different range* were 200 (28). 500 (24), 600 (27). There
was rather a chopping wind which, was against high

tival was held in the Minster Church on Thur.day
afternoon. The decorations were undertaken by Misses
Druitt, Maclean T,.ring, Davis, Haver, Mrs.
Fletcher, and other ladies. and were most aria +tic in
ieaign. The font was decorated with ferns and
Virginia creeper an I red berriet, the base being massed
with ferns and Virginia cre-iier as a gr mod, on which
a cross and the letters "A" and "0," repeated in
white asters, were displays I with good effect. The
foot of the eagle was dente .ted with fuchsias, roses,
eaters, and fares. The pillars were wreathed with ivy
and Virginia creeper and grapes and barbarries. The
reading desks were trimmed with • border of clematis
and Virginia creeper, with apples at the ends, and fern
leaves and sun flowers in the panels. The choir desks
were decorated with wild clematis and red berries,
with sun flowers and fern leaves at the foot of the
standards. The gas standards were wreathed in
the same way with wild clematis. The principal
sheaf stood at the top of the altar steps, rising
out of a base formed of all kinds of fruit
and vegetables arranged with excellent taste. The
sheaf itselfwaa composed of wheat, oats, and barley.
The window sills in the chancel were filled with ferns
and leaves and Virginia creeper, which formai •
ground on which were displayed in the centre light •
cruet in white lilies, and on the light on either side •
triangle formed of oats and harberries. The north
light had a sheaf of wheat and barley ornamented with
. •

m-arigolds, and the south window isimilar sheaf with
roses. The musical portiona of the service were very
nicely rendered. The proem and responses were by
Tanis, the Magnificat and None Dimittis were from
Taylor's service; the anthem, "Fear not, 0 Land."

people, come," and the other hymns were 421, 365,

crowded. The offertiry, which was in aid of the
Salisbury Infirmary, the Dorset County Hospital, and
a similar institution at Bath, amounted to about £l5.

WSSIZTiIIt Citarm.—The 23rd anniverory of the
above clans of worship was celebrated here on Tuesday
last, by a public toe in the Schoolroom, at which
about 50 sat dos a. After tea the lt.. B. Dodds'',
the newly appointed minicar to the circuit, pre bolted
• very powerful sermon from I Timothy, iv., 8—" For
bodily exercise proliteth little; but Godliness is profit-
able unto all things, having the promise of the life that
now is, and of that which is to come." The rev, gentle.
man dwelt chiefly on Godliness as profitable in the
present life, in his discourse he said there were many
things we might deny ourselves for the sake of Christ,
and would be profitable th our bodies. At the close he
made an earned appeal to the young, to choose Christ
ma their guide through life. The sermon was deserving
a much larger congregation. As there was no balance
sheet we don't know the financial state of the muss ;
but should think it is progressing favourable.
