CHARD.

A POOR CLERGYMAN.—The Rev. R. Matson has
applied to the Chard Guardians foradmisdon into the
workhouse as a pauper. The reverend gentleman
stated in his letter that he lout been thirty years a
curate in the Church, but had never been offered a
living, and that in consequence of his suffering from
chronic bnmchitis he was no longer able to earn a
livelihood. The guardians granted the order.

Wanxixo! ligrurreis Pam /Stmt. —The marked
superiority of this laundry blue over all others, and the
quick appreciation of its merits by the public, have been
attended by the us.ial res tits, viz., a flood of imitations;
the merit of the latter mainly consists in the ingenuity
exerted, not simply in imitating the square shape, but
making the general appearance of th 4 wrappers resemble
that of the genuine article. The manufacturers beg
thcreore to caution all buyers to ace " Reckitt's Paris
Blue" on each packet.

cautioned against buying, unless the words "Thos,

plaster. Bold by all dealers in medicine, by the single
plaster or by the yard.

When we spoke in thankful words of the munificent
donation of our worthrnmember to 'needy institution,
little did anyone imi e that within a few weeks the
donor would be an Inmate of a similar institution,
lying helpless and nigh unto death. A thrill of horror
passed through Weymouth when IMO heard the
sensational words—" Narrow escape of Mr. Edwards,"
and deep and heart-felt sympathy was manifested
when it was known he was lying almost insensible
with pain by a broken leg in that London Hospital.
One might almost be led to question the ways of
Providence, when one who has been such a benefactor
to the afflicted should he himself stricken, except that
we know full well God's ways are not man's ways. In
many ways has sympathy been expressed; but one of
the most manifest was that displayed on Tuesday by
the medley throng that crowded the police-court.
When his Worship the Mayor rose and announced
how much better Mr. ?Awards was, a spontaneous
cheer burst forth from those assembled. There must
of necessity have been men of all political creeds
assembled there; but nevertheless the cheer was a
hearty one, and gave good and ample proof of the
feelings with which the affliction of the hon. member
is regarded. We are sure we are but Oct oing the
feelings of the whole Weymouth community, when
we say we sympathise deeply and truly with Mr.
Edwards in his affliction, and hope for his speedy and
thorough restoration to his wonted health. At the
memo time it can only be said in that good olcbfashioned
trEdsos—" It's all for the beet," although sometimes it
may seem difficult to say It as we ought; but
remember "This sorrow's heavenly: It strikes where
it doth love." Cannot a public expression of sympathy
In his affliction and congratulation on his narrow
escape be forwarded to the hon. member, when he is
recovered sufficiently to receive it? Surely he deserves

WeU done Smith I The recognition of bravery was
tardy, but it has come at last. The gold medal and
certificate awaried by the French Government for
rescuing three of their subject, in 1875 will be an honour
highly prized by Port Landers. The facts of the gallant
deed are perhaps fresh in the minds of many of our
readers, especially Portland people. How in July,
1875,a good ship, the Marie Reins, came ashore on the
Chesil, and with a rope secured around him Smith
plunged into the surging seething waves and rescued
three foreigners from • watery grave, with no other
motive but love for his fellow creatures. Perhaps the
day will come when Portlenders will have another
opportunity of displaying their welbknown "courage
at devouement," as the French have termed it on the
medal, and should such • day come they will remain.

SWANAGN.
MOWLEM ANNIVERSARY.

At the annual tea and anniversary st the Mowlem
Institute, on Thursday, it was rumoured that Mr. Roe
Ii likely to resign the secretaryship. We bops it is
only a rumour.
The concert was conducted in his usual able manner
by the secretary, the choruses being sung by the
Choral Society, several members of which were absent
on *mount of sickness or bereavemext. The society
!performed with credit, in spite of the small number of
its members. the Christmas madrigal, "The Win,
Winds are Blowing ; " part song, "Victoria ;" Mara
in " Norma ;" part song, "Let the Hills Brenta i,"
and "On a Lake," with the parting glee, "To our
next Merry Meeting."
The pianoforte duets by Miss Marion Delamotte
and Miss Murrell were skillfully and pleasingly
played, and of the duets sung daring the evening,
Stephen GI ver's " Cuckoo " des-reed the hearty
encore which the Misses A. !Diplom and B. Stickland
received and which they kindly repeated, as did
" Folly and Fashion" heartily encored after the
artistic performance of Miss Arney and Master
Hither.

The songs and solos were on the whole very well
sung, though "Lift up the •Aandard," • Inc 1 pr.abic-
tion, was so lame that it was saved only by the
excellence of its chorus. In the "Three Sailor Boy i,"
Mr. Hillier gave us his very best and responded to the
rapturous encore with "Father sailing on the Ocean."
It was ti 113 expected that Miss A. lisyeo n in
" Don't i.e angry with me, darlin r," woul 1 so sweetly
'dead as to gain an eacore, and the expec option WM not
disappointed ; the song "Kiss me, and go TO
sleep," by Hr. Stickland, and the solo "Ah, he ki.sed
me." asserted by Miss Squibb, were b .th successes,
and with.their choruses won determined encores.

The other liOngi of the evening were "The Tryding
Tree," sung by Miss Durrell, and gaining( a lowt clap.
" A Peculiar Song " and "Bob S.wyer," by Mr. R.
Delamotte, " Don't flinch at the first hard blow," by
Mr. J. P. Hillier. dedicated to the Local Board, and
"The Bridge" by Mills Haire'', all of which pleased
the audience well, though in the usual Swanags
fashion it reserved its rapture till the "short interval"
was over. "The National Anthem" splendidly sung
to a moving audience brought the anniversary to •
close.
