Dears or Ma. RICHARD Grum-The news of the
death of Mr. Richard Gouge, of Waterston°, sa well
known as one of the best farmers in Dorset will be
received with unfeigned regret His death was quite
unexpected, he having attended the Dorchester market
00 Saturday, and although he was then suffering from
scold, none were prepared to hem the sad news of his
death, which took place on Monday night. The
Immediate cause of death is mid to have been
gastric fever. Mr. Gangs has fulfilled several public '
offi se, in all of which be has shown considerable
ability as a practical and well acquainted man, and his
lows will be much felt. He was • member of the Dor-
chester Agricultural Society, • member of the Board
of Guardians of the parish of Pod iletown, a member
of the Highway 'loud, and had been Quarternmeter
of the Q O.R.D.Y.C. for SOWS time. He wee also •
prominent member of the Dorchester Farmer.' Club,
and it is at this assembly that he will be particularly
missed, where hie sensible and reasonsble remarks
were always very acceptable. Those who are in the
habit of attending the Sessions Court will also miss
the well-known (me of one who was the general fore-
man et the grand jury, and in this, at in all the
bodies to which he bel 'aged, Mr. Gangs'. place will
be very difficult to fill. Mr. Genre leaves a widow
and • number of children, some of whom are very
young, to mourn bit lose.

Faatories has issued notion. on " Aids to Thrift." with

very plain. The new and excellent idea, tor which
the Postmaster-General deserves greet redit. viz., the

them will be readily supplied.
SWAN KILLID ii rag /LOAM—One of the namerous

Weida. has been shot, and it is believed the person
who did so will be prosecuted. The dead bird was
brought to Weymouth police station, and on Wednes-
day was found to weigh between 161 b. and 171 b. This
is 81,1D111 pounds below the normal weight; in fact, the

to be supplied with boded maize.
COMMOT:011 IN By. 1111811T-STRINT.—La.t Tuesday

piece, and Miss W. Brown followed with "Sweetly
Chime the Bells," after which the Rey. R. Randall

language, and on Sundays went and assaulted females
in their house,. Mr. Vickery asked that one of the
summonses be allowed to stand over for • month.—
The Mayo, thought it would be well to let both suer
monies tsnd over for a month. His Worship &eked
Zsally if he would be a teetotaler, and he replied—
" Yes, for life."—Supt. Vickery said the man Is
perfectly insane when in drink.—The Mayor told
Zeally the ohject of the magistrates is not only to
ounish for offences, but to reform. For a men of
Zsally's age to stand there thus charged was • great
disgraos ; but the Bench would a ijourn the cases for a
Imonth. If he only broke out once the full punish.

Drew, B. Hopkins, E.g., and .1. K Unbend., Esq.,
John Carter, a tramp, charged with hegging in
street and St. Thome-street, on Saturday laat.—P.C.
Bullen about a quuter peat ten saw prisoner going
from house to house in St. Thomas street begging,
and he afterwards went to Higlostreet an' into the
Weymouth Arms, and aake 1 the landlady for copper',
saying he was 'hard up." Witness took him into
custody, and found on him 61. in copper,. Although
this was not told the Bench, the fellow wyg particularly
insolent when asked his name—He was now more
humble,and stated he had been out of work some time,
but last worked at Southampton; he had been an

engineer's labourer and fireman on board a steamer,
but having hurt his arm and side, was unable to work.
—Dr. Drew: But there is no chance fo, you to get on
in this town. —Mr. Supt. Vickery said we are overrun
with vagrants; he was in a gentleman's house on
Saturday night on business, when two fellows actually
walked deliberately into the room where they were.—
P.O. Button raid the man represented himself as an
engineer; but he wee talking to an engineer on Satur-
day night, and he found the prisoner knew nothing
about it Seven days' hard labour. —Dr. Drew
remarked that two or three young ab!e-bodied paupers
were walking about in their nice white suite for •
day's holiday. A working man cannot afford to take
a day's holiday; but it seemed these men must not
work too hard, as paupers they most have a day's
holiday beside Sunday; whereas an honest working
man bad to be content with one day's holiday a week.
