Inn, Bradpole road. The deceased, four weeks ago last
Saturday, was prematurely confined, the infant living
only a few hours, and it was thought at the time that the
mother would not recover. However, she got round again,
seeming quite strong, and was able to get about her
accustomed work and it is said that on Sunday she was
even more cheerful than usual; but as she retired to rest
about eight o'clock, it seems she must have felt unwell in
the evening. On Monday morning, shortly before six
o'clock, the deceased got out of bed, and looked out of the
window. She complained of • bad headache, and, by
the advice of her husband, she got into bed attain. Shortly
after this, her liwiband, fancying he heard an unusual
mound, looked at his wife, and finding she WWI ill, lie
supported her in his arms ; hut in a few minutes her bead
dropped on his shoulder, and she breathed her last.
Medical assistance was immediately sent for, and Dr.
Moses iassistant to Dr. Hay) quickly arrived, only to find
that the vital spark had fled. Deceased, who for some
years had suffered from heart disease, was 41 years of
age, and leaves seven children, the eldest only 15 years of
age. Much sympathy is felt for the bereaved husland,
and the deceased will long be mourned by a large circle of
friends, by whom she was much beloved. Heart disease
Is said to be the cause of death, and an inquest was
deemed unnecessary.
Tug Rev. F. J. AUSTIN ON MlSSlONS.—Speaking at the
meeting of the London Missionary Society, reported on
6th page, the Hew. F. J. Austin 'imposed the question,
" Why should we seek the conversion of the Heathen r
let, there 'teal the Divine command "Go ye into all the
world and preach the Gospel to every creature." 2nd,
Love to Christ should impel ea The more we love Him,
the more we shall desire that the knowledge of His
character and mission should fill all lands. 3rd, Because
of the condition of the heathen themselves-which is one
of wretcheilnesa and tuisery-of intellectual and spiritual
darkness. But what advantages, lie asktiil, did missionary
enterprise secure? It was profitable to the heathen
temporarily. Their ignorance was enlightened, mortality
was lessened, WWII= Wa, elevated, physical suffering was
relieved, and a highur tone of morality was created. But
it was profitable to them aLso spiritually, leading them to
the knowledge of God, and of His Sou, Jesus Chnst and
showing them the way to eternal happiness. But some
might ask, What advantage was missionary enterprise te
ourselves? lie replied, It promoted the intermts of com-
merce, making it safe to travel on foreign shores it
assisted scientific discoveries also. Livingstone had opened
up the heart of Africa to us, and the missionanes in
Greenland hail given criait assistance to Dr. Kane in his
arctic explorations. The contributors to the missionary
cause received a blessing, for Gisl lied tiniinised, "The
liberal soul shall be made fat," " Give and it shall be given
you : good tues,WV, down and running over. It
Was an attested fact also that those churches were the
meet prosperous which were the mast active in tuition
work; and heavenly ley. were in store for those who
laboured for the Saviour here. The task might appear
hopeless to some, and the results after IS ceuturie: might
seem insignificant; but it would' not do to be faint-
hearted. Paul and Peter hail to cope with ;..-rtnter diffi-
culties than those with which we hail to deal_ had they
faltered, all Europe would still have been in heathen
darktitnis. We had the Divine commission, and it was
our duty to obey it.

FAREWELL TEA PARTY AND PUBLIC MEETING.
For nine years the Rev. T. C. Finch has teen the
beloved pastor of Use Baptist congregation in this town ;
and not only has he been respected and esteemed by the
members of his own church, but his genial character and
hutuourous temperament has endeared him to all who
have had the pleasure of his acquaintance. He has been
Celled to another sphere of labour, and there are many
who regret that he is to leave the town, and find it hard
to say "Good bye," to one with whom they hose had
sweet fellowship, yet all unite in hoping that their loss
;nay be his gain, and that the remaining days of his life
may be the meet succeaduL The proceedings in connec-
tion with the farewell eervices were held on Thursday,
mud whets we say all the denominations in the town were
represented on the occasion it will be seen that the rev.
gentleman was respected by all. A public tea was held
in the school-room at five o'clock, and about sixty sat
down G. an excellent repast, provided by members of the
congregation, the tables lying presided over by the
following ladies' :—Mrs. Finch, Mrs. Cappock. Miss
Crocker, Miss Bucknole, Miss Finch, and Mrs. Bidden.
At set en o'clock a public meeting was held in the chapel;
the attendance at first was not large. many Wesleyan
trimpls being engaged in business connected with their
own body, hut the arrival of these, with the Rev. .1.
Charles. late in the evening, considerably augmented Use
numher present. On the motion of the Rev. T. Finch,
Mr. C. tdinunds took the chair, and he was supported Ay
the Rev. F. .1. Austin (Independent), the Rev. J. R
Charles (Wesleyan), the Rev. B. L Carpenter (Unitarian),
and the. Rev. T. C. Finch. .

....ib7Z47.111117;1.:1 said he bad been called on quite un-
expectedly to take the chair, but although it wu not a
very pleasant duty to perform under the circumstances,
as they were met to part with an old friend, yet he felt
a plea.tare in bring present to wish Mr. Finch 01X1 speed,
butd be sincerely hoped that be was going to • sphere of
labours where he would be bleared with a still larger
an t of success than had attended his ministry in
Briburt.

alike, In their different -c-Wpact—lles were essential to_
thorough seeress of the mute. In the human body there
was an endless variety of parts, but no part could be dis-
pensed with, all were designed by the creator for some
wise purnose ; so in the Christian church there were
many different persons, of different capabilities, yet all
were nocemary for the well-being of the church to which
they belonged. This church would soon be without a
minister, and every member would be called upon to do
bin share in the work, and endeavour to promote the
church's prosperity. They must be united —they must
not lie like the stones on Chesil beach lying
site by side, but exerting no influence on each other.
They most remember that "to whom much is given,
emeh will be required." It was true the human body
might live without some of its members, but it could not
eli4 without the heart and lungs, and it was after found
that those members of the body that were the most
64.1•1 e were the most necessary. teat them all act up to
the ability which God had given them, be those abilities
great or small. The eye cannot say to the hand, nor the
hand to the foot "I have no need of you." In the church
; there must lie mutual love—Paul placed love above all the
other virtues. There must also be mutual guardianship—
ea,h mender must feel that he is in some measure
r..imnsible for his brother. There must also he mutual
satebfulnem—not only of foes without, but the members
have rare one of another. Oh that that rongre-
cation might have the spirit of the great Master, to help
them in all their work. Let them cultivate love and
raver and mutual help, and then he did not fear for the
remit, Ile hoped that whilst they were without a pastor
they would observe their duties. and that by the help of
they would soon be united again by one who should
in and nut among them ass servant of Christ, dispensing
t. them the Word of Life—(applause).
The Rev. R. I. CARPENTER said he had not conic pre-
pared with a speech—he had only meant to express a few
words of sympathy with Mr. lunch on his departure—
(applause) lie naturally felt the parting; tor he and Mr.

. inch had worked' together for a series of years, and not
only had they met on various platforms. hut in this world
where there WA., no much bitterness I,etween different
sections of the church, it was pleasant to have a kindly

had liven in that chapel. The first occasion was when

made to promote the C3USC I.f tenusenwee amongst the
vow.. He thought it a good thing for a congregation to
to a about a minister for a time : he was not an
advocate of the ''one.inan ministre;" they must all

lie treated the congregation would be united, and if they
were faithful to their duties God would bless them. In
wishing Mr. Finch farewell, he prayed that God might
grant his Mewing on his labours both here and wherever
lie might go —(applause).
The hymn commencing—
Let saints below in concert ging,"
WM then sung, after which the Rev. J. It. CntniMs said
on the part of his people and on his own part he attended
that evening to with Mr. Finch every happiness in his
new sphere, and he hoped the sun of prosperity would
shine very brilliantly upon him, lie felt something like
what was reported of the great George Washington.
When a boy his father entertained several guests, one of
those had to leave early, and the youthful George went
down and opened the door to let him out, remarking, as
he did so, he would much rather have opened the door to
let him in ; in with him (the apeaker), he would much
rather have had to welcome Mr. Finch that evening, than
to wish him gnat-bye, There was one thing, however,
and Oat was, that,,. %Volley= ministers they were pretty
well used to separation.; for they could not stay longer
than three years in any one place ; and, as for himself, he
was trying to harden himself, for he had often felt it hard
to leave old friends. It had been found, by calculation.
that Independent ministers shifted about every five years,
so that they too had also many changes. Now there was
one thing in favour of the Wesleyan minhiter, and that
was, he was never without a place—it was as he had once
heard it remarked "they were always sure of a send or
a calr —fiaughtert It was no doubt a good thing to look
at the bright ede of a thing always, and it had been said
" TM worth a year to look at the bright side of
things." Now for himself, often when his friends might
think him cheerful, he was quite the reverie, and was
gloomy. He thought the great bane of life was, we all
looked too much to self; and he exhorted those present to
he up and doing, to improve their opportunities, so that
when they came to die they might not have to regret that
they had not done more than they had. He must differ
from hie excellent friend, as to the efficacy of the "one-
man ministry." Look at the Wealeyans and Congrega-
tionaliata, and see what they had done; but he knew that
such could not have been accomplished had they not
depended on God and sought his blessing on their efforts.
He hoped that tr. Finch would find a warm-hearted
people in his new home, and that by and bye when they
stood before the throne, he might be enabled to say
" Here am I and the people thou hut given ine"—(aP-
pMene).
The Rev. It L. Ciai.esren said the success of the two
bodies mentioned by Mr. Charles was to be attributed in
a Peat iPnwore to the fact, that, guided sad encouraged
by the miniatere, work had been found for all to do—and
that was the grind secret of success.
Another hymn having been sung, the CHAIRMAN said
all meetings must bane an end as well as • beginning, and
R. be had been requested to my • few words he should
have pleasure in doing so. In being prment that evening,
lie could net say, at. a' gentleman of the cloth" once said
, when he attended a meeting u here there were ministers
of other denominations, that "he had felt like a (Mb out
of water ;" for, since he (the speaker) was a child it had
1,,,n his privilege to associate with Christian brethren of
different ilen,,tu,jnotjons, and he trusted with God's
blessing he should continue to do so—(applause). He felt
they had hml • profitable meeting, although it had been
loruewhat • sad one. It was hard to part with old friends,
but it was • source of gratification that the friendly feel-
ing which sprang up, when Mr. Finch canoe into the town,
bet. been kept up, and that they could pert with him as •

VESTRY MEMTING ON SANITARY MATTERS
AT WYKE REGIS.
The adjourned vestry meeting, to consider what could
be done to improve the sanitary state of the parish, was
hell on Thursday afternoon last in the schoolroom The
Rector (Rev. IL I. Pigou) Presided, and many ratepayers
were present. Among them the Rev. .1. Lynes, Mr. K
rawly, Captain Cole, Mr. E. Feomilhet, Mr. C. Talbot,
Mr. It. Keetiing,lllr. J. Baunton. Mr. Snittler, Mr.
Churchill, 31r. Thorne, Mr. C. FAwards, Mr. J. J. If,
Longman, Mr. Padgett Mr. Goatlen, Mr. J. Russell, Mr.
(hull, Mr. W. Stone, Mr. Elli Mr. Roberta, Mr. W.
Lovell, Mr. K Edwards, Mr. E. Talbot, Mr. C. Stone, Mr.
J. Talbot, Mr. Fenton.. Mr. liturchouse, Mr. Sanders,
Mr. Bolt, gc.
The Itr.croe said if any one hail a proposal to make to
the sanitary Board to Improve the minter,' condition of
the ',midi, the lieqt way would be to Lay their suggestions
before the meeting in order that they might be discussed.
The Rev, J. LYNES understood Colonel Swaffield made
such apropmdtion at the last meeting.
The Itra-roit replied the only part Colonel Swaftield
took was to write a letter to the Sanitary Board, complain-
ing of sir open gutter running through the punch, and •
lemil at the bottom of the village. There was no proposal
made beyond a " urning the sestry for a month.
The Rev. J. LtNIOI thought the colonel would have been
preamt
The Itm7oit : I expect he has forgotten all about it I hail to send to him on the last occasion.
The Rev. J. LVNES: I should like to bear the letter
read. I came here with the understanding that Colonel
triwaillelil had written a letter, and that he had made a
proposition that tho open drain running through the
village should be covered in.
S one of the rate-payers did not want to hear the letter
agaip.
' The Rev. J. Lven: lam atronaly opposed to such a
prop..ition. If it is the svish the letter should not be !
read I will ~.ty no more; if it hail beeu read I should hasbent e
licenated to make some observations on it.
The ltacroa repeated the substance of CoL Swaffield's
letter. As this WIL4 a letter of complaint the Sanitary
Beard wrote to the churchwardens and overseers asking !
them to call a sestry in order to receive suggestious as to '
what should be done to remedy the nuisances complained
of. Although 11.1 propo.itiou was made the idea in the
Colonel's mind NIMI that the drain should be covered in.
Nothing v. lug done in the matter, so that they started now
from just where they were when the first meeting was
Mr. E EDWARDS said the nuisance was all on private
property. Ile did not think it waa right to ask the parish
to do anything. If the Pond was oneeetNi in the owners
of the land would cultivate it. The parish ought not to
pay for such a thing as that.
Dlr. LONGMAN suggested that the parties who owned the
weir pond—Colonel Swattiehl and Mr. Bayly—should be
asked as • favour, to till it 'tont their own expetuio This
would be far more beneficial to the parish than having
a cos ered drain. At one time he was in favour of drain-
ing Lao parish, and Mr. Neat induced him to get out a
plan when Ile was the waywarden, but the people were
not inclined to cam it out lie thought if CoL Swaffield
and Mr. Itayly were informed it would be beneficial to
the parivh to have the weir pond filled up they would
I have it done.

1••
AT ATER thought ....ogntatt should leave out
; the word " (ay our."
_

Mr. Iltviv thought it best to give some explanation as
to what Mr. Longman had been Raying in regard to filling
up the pond. Some time since he had received a letter
Iron • gentleman in Weymouth stating that some
of the sanitary authorities were coming to Wyke to
inspect the weir pond, and knowing he had property
adjoining it, a..ked him to be there, and he attended.
Colonel Swatliehl was also written to, but as he was
from home was represented by Mr. Sutton. Mr. Jesty,
the county surveyor, was also present. Suggestions
were then made as to what was the beat to be
dune, and Mr. Jesty thought it most advisable to con.
tinue the drain through the bridge no as to join the open
sewer running through his field. Mr. Jesty asked him if
be would mind tilling up his part of the pond, and he
replied "No; I think it will be for the public good, and I
shall feel much pleasure in filling up my part so that •
drain may be laid through it." lie (Z.. Bayly) said to Mr.
Sutton "I suppose Colonel Swattield would do the same
if he were applied to I" Mr. Sutton replied " I do not
think be would do so, because the land is not worth it."
It was suggested the land so filled in should be called
"ours." Ile consented to fill in his side of the pond and
Mr. Sutton said he would write to the Colonel on the
matter; about a week or two afterwards he received a
letter from Mr. Hare, who referred him to what took
place respecting the pond. lie then asked if he (Mr.
Hayti.) would only fill up the pond and make • drain
through it to the bridge, then the commissioners would
consent to hi, fencing it in, and Mr. Jesty would call for
his answer. rho next day Mr. Jesty called, and be told
him he was much obliges' to the commissioners for their
kind offer but that he (Mr. Jesty) was to give his
compliments to them, and to say he would have no more
to do with it than what he had promised, lie was now
quite willing to till in his side of the pond, but not to
make • ilr.tin through it If Colonel Swallield would only
consent to fill in his side of the pond a very nice job
would be made—(applause). As regarded an open sewer,
he hail nothing to say, as there were as many opinions
as to the advantages of an open or covered drain—
(alqilause).
The Rev. J. LYN6II thought they had to consider the
sanitary welfare of the parish. He thought every one
would do all he could to conduce to that, and he believed
Suattield wrote the letter in question to the
Sanitary Beard on the best and purest motive of doing
what be thought most expedient. Ho (the speaker)
thought it would be melee, to have a covered drain with-
out a good supply of water, and where could • supply be
obtained for flushing purposiv such as that drain would
require I The drain would be 3 mere underground
lohoratory of ga..es, which would he most highly
deleterious to health. lie thought they might leave this
matter to the Inspector of Nuisance.,; something like
what Mr. Ilayly had proposed seemed very reasonable.
Re cry owner of property in the village could do something
for its good.

11AI-I.Y Further nqoarked that Mr. Neat was present
at that meeting awl took tery great interest as a well-
widicr of the paridi ill what was Isi-t to be done. He had
a pond ill hi* garden, and he al bl be happy to make this
at: ilable at any time for flushing the drain. Ile (Mr.
Ilayly) thought if this pond had the same means now of
flushing the lrain as it poor-semi at that time Colonel
Swallield would c.m.itit to it. With the report of the
Weymouth surveyor .tiring theta in the face, they could
not di. wrong in allowing the open drain to remain, and if
Colonel Swattield would only connect to allow the water
In his garden to be for flushing purposes, all the
nuisances might be got rid of.
Mr. KEENNO remarked that on Saturday last he with
Mr. John Ilaunton (their waywarden) and Mr. Stone,
walked round the parish and found there was • ought
nuisance near Mrs. Collins' at the lower end of the pariah;
but all the other drains were Imre, and their waywardeu
promised to ace Mr. Jmty respecting this drain and have
it remedied. There wan no other nui*ance existing.
Mr. J. ItattsvoN said on Saturday last he had the
plea.ute id going through the village in company with the
party named by Mr. Keeping, and was pleased to find
only one nuisance. Ile could not detect any smell of an
offensive nature anywhere else except at the pond, which
Mr. Itayly on his part wall a illing to fill in, and so eradi-
cate the evil, and if this was done the pariah would bent
• most satisfactory state. There were one or two drains
to which he hail called Mr. Jeirty's attention, and these
had been remedied. There was no question the weir pond
should receive attention, but when the nuisance arising
front this was removed, this parish would be able to hold
Ito place with any one in the county. He knew of no
village where leas of an offensive character was to be found
than at Wyke.
The ItECTIIR said he had prepared three 11112KeltiOnll to
Sabina to the sanitary authorities, which the meeting
might adopt or reject, as they pleaaest First, "That the
drain near Mrs. Cullins'house be put into propercondition,
so that there be no collection of stagnant water." Second,
" That a drain be made through the weir pond, and that
the owners be asked to till it up afterwards." Third,
"That Colonel Swaflield be requested to allow the pond in
his garden to be made available for flushing the drain, or,
failing that, that some arrangemette be made for the
purpose at the waterpooL"
Mr. J. BAUNTON proposed the adoption of these sugen-
thorn. If they could gain the assistance of Colonel
Swaflield and Mr. Ilayly all that was wanted would be
most successfully carried through.
Mr. KLICYING seconded the proposition, observing that
he thought the sanitary authorities would be well satisfied
with the result of that day's meeting.
The Itscroa then submitted the proposition, which was
carried, with only one disaentient—Mr. A. bolt
The meeting then concluded.
