THE PROMMIED NKW nAMWAL-IWO hear That the
scheme for a line of railway from Lyme Regis to Bridport
has I men abandoned, awl if such should lie the MSG we
shold think the railway communication between Ax-
minster and Lyme is hardly likely to be brought about.

respect of railwAy communication, foe if travellers want
to go to rharmouth or Lyme they hereto hire or walk at
such may also iIC said of any of the places in. Use neigh-
biurhood, if we event Reaminster ant Cruwkeroe, which
cm be reached by Mr. Dyke's loss: but that is not always
c invenient 116 regards time, and many are eocapeUer!to

this seisms of the year, whim the rim& are covered with
mad, being, to say the least, nut very enjoyable. By the

the roads in our neighbourhood thaa is sometimes used,
for certainly a yellow substance which leeks much like
clay, is hardly the sort of stuff which seems best adapted
for the purpose. . .
