1:-41 ACTIVIIN MLNiNttir-s.-Caiit Gibney, of lot Wilts
R.V., in battalion orders says :- There is a probability
of Autumn Illameuvre. once again occurring in Wiltahire,
though not iniprubuldy the scenes will he inure in the
neighbourhood of Marlborough than Salisbury. With a
prospect ~f Huse mametivre, it behove. the Wiltthire
Volunteers to buckle on their harness, and by frequent
attendances at drill prove that the praise bestowed on
them in 1872 was deserved."
Tug PRINCE CONSORT •51, ART.-Mr. Theodore Martin.
in his "Life of his Royal !Hahne,. the Prince t"..n.rt,"
relate, the following anecdote as illustrative of the
intimate knowledge displayed by the Prince of the
technicalities of art:- -" We are able, on tte authority of
Lord Portman, to cite the following striking instance of
the accuracy of his knowledge in a matter purely te,h-
nical. When in Salisbury, in 1857. on the occasion of the
Royal Agricultural Society's Show, tbe Prince visited the
Cathedral Chapter House, the restoration of which was
then nearly completed. 'Die Prince admired the work,
but observed to Lord Portia:tit who attended, him, that
the paint Wied WLs of the wrong kind, 'and that in a
short thus it would fall off in Ham' A friend of Lord
porutiaiis suiting the Chapter House iti July. 140, found
the walls in great disorder. a part of the paint falling away
precisely as the Prince had foretold.
MLitltiLnitt. ittitTitS, AND MlteTtill is MtIReLT. -The
returns of births and deaths for the lad quanta of 1474
,3
.. of marriages for the quarter ended Septenilur, 1374.
have twit been lulled, and we quote the &Lade relathig
to the several registration sub-diatricts in this county.
Attention is directed to the remarkably low birth rate in
Derma, as compared with sotue other counties. While in
Durham the rate was so high as 45.11 in Dorset it was only
2,19. Notwitluttuding this, however, the natural increase
of the population was 417, being about 50 per cent.,
although for • long time past the births have lawn nearly
double the deaths. But even:when.; thi severe weather at
the close of the year was very fatal, said no doubt in-
creased fatality has something to do with the Late ii 4 of
the natural increase in the population. In re‘ard tc
Weymouth, we are glad to rind a note that since the 57th
of November there has been no death frotu scarlet fever.
Touthiug the 10 deaths (rein this disease at Sherburne, it
is said 11 sutured in October, three in November, and
five in December. In peatninster district it is noted that
measles and whoopiug r ...I ug h have been very prevalent
The latter complaint is sow general throughout the
ounty amongst children, while bronchitis largely affects
grown-up people.
