BRIDPORT.

THE TOWN CLOCK.-70n i;;lnZta'y morning the hands
were taken off, and the clock was stopped for the neces-
sary repairs. It seemed very strange to look to see what
time it was, and find there were no indicators.

of Mr. end Mrs. G. A. Samson, after their wedding tour,
was eelebrated by the ringing nf St. Mary's Church bells,

ableted. delivered by the Rev. Frela. Broadley, on Sunday
evening. he nil he WrIA plea:eat that the congregation
worshipping in that church did, to a considerable extent,
join in the cinging RA they shall,' to. For sonic time he
heal felt that the Salisbury hymn book (the one now used)
was very limited in ito subject., and he had never
experieneswl this more than on the occasion of the Hospital
sermons reeently premehed, when he could not find one
by suitable. He h:ul therefore determined, in accord-
ance with the wishes of many of the worshipper*, to have
a fresh hymn hook, and on that flay month, the 14th
anniversary of the opening of that House of God, ifs-tuns
Ancient and Modern would be introduced and would be
aulasoluently used.
Fifty- On Tuesday evening some alarm was created in
the neighbourhood of North Allington, by the report that
a tire had broken out in the rear of premisei occupied by
Mr. Henry Marsh, farmer. On hastening to the spot it
14 (mind that a hay rick was on tare on the outside, so
that it became evident that it must have been wilfully
ignited by If one evil-disposeal person or person" The tare
was first seen by the servants in the house about half-past
nine o'clock, and prompt 'existence being rendered it was
coon let out, the Limage sustained being only the spoiling
of a few cwt. of hay. It was a fortunate circumstance
that the tire was discovered : had it not been it ix quite
impassible to estimate the amount of loss that would have
boon occasioned, seeing that the rick on tire was our
rounded by a large number of wheat and other ricks,
valuable farm buildings, ate.
Dust Dusan Or HEALTII.—A meeting of this
lusly was held at the Council Chamber. on Friday, st noon
There were present the Mayer(Mr. C. Tucker). Councillor ;
B. I'. Cundry, J. I'. Suttill, J. Hammel, T. H. &Mum&
H. Howell, C. &Imamate, and E. Lootin, and the Town'
Clerk. (Mr. F. W. (itandry). The only business west°
ram the estimates for the ensuing year, which amounted
to X 504 Is. : only a few pounds difference from that of last
year.---It was stated by the Collector that .C 36 13s. of the
last rate remained unpaid, which was about the smallest lie
ever'reinembered. A rate of ff.L in the w-as recommended,
which would raise about 1.540, but it was suggestedlthat • ftl.
rate would be sufficient, and it was proposed by Mr. R.
(lundry, seconded by Mr.S uttill, and carried unanimously,
"That the estimates be adopW, and a rate of Si. in the

soinc conversation ensued with respect to the new
premises proposed to he built on the site of the late tire,
the front of which it was suggested should be kept in a
line with Ur. Rendall's and Mr. Amos's premise., so that
when the old house between them dial come down, an
ainhroken line might be maintained. Mr. T. If.
Edmunds askol could they not get hold of Bonner's
Property, anal put up two good houses while they were
shout it. It was generally thought to he a good idea, and
we believe it was understood that the valuing committee
should see what could be done in the matter.
SCHteno TRICAT.—The parish of Allington
has now school buildings of which many a larger place
might well be proud, and. thanks to the untiring energy
and devotedness of the Rey. R. W. May, and the pains-
taking of the sealons master and mistreat (Mr. Short anal
3liss Jones), the schools themselves are in a very flouriah-
a.lig state, and doing an immense amount of goal to the
juvenile inhabitants by giving them an education adapted
for their position in life, and enabling many of them
eventually to attain a much higher state of worldly
entinence than would otherwise have been the case. In
writing the various accounts of the different school treats
ain season we have been much struck with the number
of children our town contains. Laud Tuesday was the
day fixed for the annual treat to the Allington schools,
anal about two o'clock in the afternoon groups of children
were to be seen carrying bunches of flower., and with •
cup in the other hand, making their way to the new
schoolnent, where the gathering was to take place. It

scholars late on the ax-casion, anal if they were always in
their placm an punctually, we are sure the naaater and
mistress would be murk pleased. However, they were
assembled to the number of ve, boys, girls, and infants,
and many were prevented by illness from being present
About three o'clock they all joined in singing the well hyan, commencing

" Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee."
after which the Rev. E. W. May delivered a short but
antwonriate address to the children, remarking on the
love our Saviour bore the little ones while on earth, and
enforcing on them their duty of striving to leant what
they coul,l. so that they might be of use in the world. lie
reminded them that this treat WSW net given them by way
of paying them for coining to school, but to show them the
interest kind friends b•tk in their welfare, awl to
encourage them to persevere. Prayer having been offered,
a procession was (twitted in the play ground, Mr. Foster A

being in readiness • lively tune was struck up, and the
company started, twoeceied down North Mlington, to the
i end of West Allington. back again, up North Allington,
and then returned to the school-romn. It was a very
firetty spectacle, and all the mothers, fathers, and friends
in the neighbourhood turned out to see the little ones
pass, whose smiling faces plainly 'thawed bow touch these
annual gatherings are enjoyed by the children. Arrived
at the school room an excellent tea was partaken of, the
K W. May and Mrs. May, the master and inistrems,
and the able stall of teachers sparing no pains to make the
Ilhappiness of all complete. After the children had
j finished, the teachers and friends took tea together, and

others from visiting the scene in large numbers during the
evening. About half-past eight o'clock the band left the
field, followed by the children, the residence of the Rev.
K. W. May was reached, where a halt was made, and
vociferoui cheers given for the rev. gentleman and Mrs.
May, and other kind friends, after which the National
Anthem was played, and the proceedings terminated.
