The County Council: On Wednesday at noon a meeting of parishioners of the parish of Highweek was held in the girls’ schoolroom, the Rev. S. G. Harris presiding, to consider that portion of the Government Act relating the election of a County Councillor for the Chudleigh district, and more particularly for nominating a deputation to attend a public meeting to be held that evening on the subject at Kingsteignton. The following were appointed: Mr. W. Pinsent, Capt. Down, Major Kitson, Mr. W. Vicary, Mr. R. Vicary, Mr. R. Pascoe, Mr. T. Underhay, and Mr. T. Shilston.

Dog, Poultry, Cat and Cage Bird show at Penzance: It has long been remarked that it was a somewhat extraordinary fact that Penzance, which justly prides itself on taking the lead in most enterprises, of a similar kind in the county should not have had her annual dog and poultry show, as is usual in so many other places of the same, and even lesser size.
