Tin BinOkla' SNAP FAIR FIILD. —A men:oriel le
the Town Conned protesting teeniest removing its fair
field to Beggars' Rasp, on the ground of ita cost, end
that it would be iojurious to the trade of the town, is

Rini CORPS.—The annual returns of this oorps,
required to be tarnished at the War OfSoci, have jest
been completed. From them we gather that the corps
°onside of 78 members, of whom 74 have qualified in
all respect. for the Government vent, and of the
remaining four there nee two honorary climes—the
eoltlar-sergennt, who has been on leave of abeenoe
whilst holding the offise of Mayor of Dorchester, and •

by __clines* from attending
drills.
EVANGELIZATION Bootirr.—On Monday and Tneeday
evenings addressee were delivered in Dorchester by Mr.
Tholes. Johnson, late • working man, but now an agent
of the above anroolstleo. The meeting on Monday IVY
held in the Town Hell, and the room was so crowded,
that it was found advisable to have the Tuesday meet-
ing in the Corn Exchange, and st eight o'clock the large
ball was so filled, that many could not obtain bests. In
the orchestra, which was uatal as a platform on this
occasion, the speaker was sturded by she Rev. E. W.
Peon, the Rev. H. P. Hailers Mr. 0. Corm*, he. After
dation a hymn and player, M m
r. Johnson reed the :14th
Psalm it joich g on Lis hearers their duty of praising
God at Al times—not merely to prate° him on the
Sunday, but to cottinue to boteur him throughout the
week. Another hymn was rung, and the preacher then
founded an excellent addre on S lomon s Song 1., 4:
"Drew we, we will rue after Thee. The Kieg bath
brought me into has clistobe r.” He said he shall that
tight brirg before them • few of the chambers irto
which they must enter before they weld inherit the
Kingdom of God. The first of these mu the stripping
chamber, in whieh ell the rags of do should be strirped
front them. The text wee the cleansing chamber,
where all the pollutions and 11th' of sin should be
clamped. The third was the clothing chamber, in
which they should bc decked with the robe of righteous-
n,
end made fit to appear before the thence of God.
Then there was the chamber of siltation, through
which the Christian had to pass to fit him for his
glorified position hereafter. There we. one snore
*lumber, and that was the waiting chamber, in which,be thanked God, he could say te was ; here It was that
the Christian welted until his tuareoly Father should
gee It to come and take bin to himself. Be urged upon
his hearers to come to Christ just so they wore—to
some to Him with all their sins upon them—not to
endeavour to do acme good aloe hoping thereby to isle
the favour of God, but to cut themselves at the feet
of Christ, end lay, "God be merciful to me • sinner."
He illustrated his subject by various anecdotes, show-
ing the ingratitude of men in refusing to come to Christ,
who had died for them; bow • free pardon was offered
them, and they refused to accept it, and concluded by
as earnest appeal to them to decide at ones for Christ.
Another hymn, " Jost es I am' without one plea,"
having been sung, the Rev. H. P. 11511E44 offered prayer,
and proDouncesd the benediction, and the, large company
ted.
FonntGroi liminui..-113, following is a
copy of the memorial, with the signatures, preempted to
the Council hut Monday :
Gentle:mem—We the undersigned, Burgeon. of the Borough
of Dorchester, reading within the pertain of Fordnallioe, beg
leave to exprem to you the alum with shirk we are filled by
the dieclosures recently made In &someone at your Council
meetings, let as to the *tat, of the Borough Fineness ; lad,
as to the extravagant tendency which In, notwithstsurtiog this,
too =mike( amongst you ; sad Ird, as to the little madder-
Ulan which appearn to be Lit by you for that large hotly of
mechanics sad working moo, of which this district lonely
ecosists, and who are so heavily burdened by the Borough
Rate.. We point Ent to the id that of the LUGO bet-
bowed 10 year. ago for the erection of the Corn Reclean"
and to be paid at during that period. not one shilling has yet
bun paid. On. of your body, remarking on this, amerted
that the ratepayers are thu. a:pouf to the dangle of • Ilete
for the payment of this lugs sum ; sod this remembly 10Ak415
us fur that the propound leen for the Pair Ground (U effected
while the omelet debt stands), may be dealt with in the ume
amour. in connection with this, we call your attention to
the fact, LIU sir) few of the working men and niechutice, who
have to pay mum can afford to do as, sad Foy their rani too,
without crowding their houses with lodger.. Ind, on this
ground also we consider it hard on this clam, that such an
Maven should have been made in the pay of the Police; and
that upodally when it is evident that by an umelpastios with
the County Coostabulary the moment Police Rat.would be
greatly reduced. Erd, the resent doubling of the water rate
le, as we know' very perplexing to some of your body • nod
may therefore be alarming to us. We beg, therefore, respect-
fully to protest means& thl, date of things.

THE FORDINGToN MEMORIAL.
74) Vic Editor.

From your report n Us:. gay'. paper, the memorial
from Fordingtot, has evidently been tampered with.
Who drew it op I knew not, but there were at least
Nam attached when I signed it, e
dthe words
!triales
ladies" were not then in It. The memorial in
Itself I madder unobjectionable, but the inserted
words lean only have been added as an Insult to the
Corporation, or as a practical joke on those who
endorsed Is, and the perpetrators of It should be
required publicly to 'comma% for such a gross piece of
haparttaosoe.
