HEADLESS TNN ANT. A few days ago the workmen ergaged iii levt rug the new foot-path at Beggar.. Knap came upon a skeleton minus the skull some three feet below the surface. It would seem there are some pleasing associations attached to this place, even of half a century ago, for it used to be the place of public execution, and the bodies of the murderers and ottlers who suffered for their crimes were buried there. In this case the remains are believed to be those of a MAD named Gallop, who made a hurried exit from the world some 60 years ago consequent upon having Participated in a murder. THE ANNUAL INSPECTION of the 3rd DR. V. was made on Monday evening last by Major liammill, of the 39th Brigade Delia, acting for Colonel Mulkey. From various causes there was an unfortunate deficiency in the answer to the roll-call; out of 78, the enrolled strength of the corps, aa only answered to their names, the two-thirds of the company necessary to be present at this iwpection to secure the capitation grant beim: ex .teAlc:i ;,y tit cc, only.

THE RESULTS of the Islington Dairy Show were a feather in the cap of Dorset dairymen, who, for the first time, out-distanced their Somersetshire neighbours. Mr. T. Walden, of Came, had a bronze medal and £2O awarded him, and this in a competition 0 )en to all England. He also received the certificate of the British Dairy Farmers' Association. Mr. Walden was nearly a winner at the late .I...mine Cheese Show in the lied cheese claas, a slight non-adhesion to ime of the rulesfalone disqualifying him. 'l'he Aftrirul. turn, Gazdte, says : —"Another entry by Mr. Thomas Walden, of Dorchester, was passed over, owing to their having 111)011 them the date of making. These cheese were of grand mality, and were the nearest approach lin the show to the very fin* 'Awes.) that took the champion prize at the Bath and West of England Society's Show in June last, and nothing but this accident prevented their taking premium honours in its class."
