Downton. Notes on the Fii-st Parish Register Book, by Rev. J. 

 K. Floyer. Salisbury Jotcrnal, Aug. 10th, 1895. The register books begin 

 in 1599, and contain some interesting entries of the Raleigh family, of the 

 deaths from the plague, &c. The writer does not confine himself to the register, 

 however, but discourses on divers other points where the history of Downton in 

 any way touches the general history of the times in the seventeenth century. 



Alderbury. The Green Dragon Inn. Black and White, Aug. 17th, 

 1895, has a short article on " Dickens' Blue Dragon," with three illustrations 

 — " Present Aspect of the Blue Dragon," "Mantelpiece in the Inn," and "St. 

 Mary's Grange, where Dickens lived." Dickens, in the last, is evidently a 

 misprint for Pecksniff.

 County Mirror has its scene laid at " Matcham lying in a hollow of the hills 

 between Salisbury and Andover," but its " local colouring " is of the very
