iSWS AND OBS OVATIONS: ORIGINAL AND SELECTED. The Vicar of Yspytty Cynfvn has written to say, in reference to what appeared in this paper lately respecting that Church, that notwithstanding tha.t his living is a poor one, there are in the immediate neighbour- hood at least seven livings poorer than his own. With respect to occasional services being all that is required in the parish, he says that the Church people of Yspytty Cyn- fyn think differently, for there are many of the communicants coming long distances, passing other places of worship, to the parish church, and he fails to see why these should be put off with occasional services more than any other Church people else- where. The Vicar has evidently understood what we said. Our point was that as the parish is a large one, and but thinly popu- lated and without wealthy people, the living must necessarily be a poor one after Dises- tablishment-not that it is a poor one now. We do not suggest that there be fewer ser- vices in the parish than at present, but rather that services should be occpsionally held in various parts of the parish, where none are now held. It would be as easy for the Yspytty people to walk to Ponterwyd, or Dyffryn Castell, or Devil's Bridge, as it is for the inhabitants of those villages to attend at Yspytty. David Jones Lloyd, Esq, of Gilfachwen, Llandyssul, has been appointed the new Sheriff of Cardiganshire John Leigh Taylor ksq, the Cliffe, Dolgelley, of Merionethshire; and Athelstane Robert Pryce, Cyfronydd, of Montgomeryshire. Mr J. W. Willans, Dolforgan Hall, Kerry, Newtown, Liberal candidate for the Mont- gomeryshire Boroughs died in London on t'hursday rather unexpectedly. It is stated that during his brief candidature Mr Willans had made many friends, and .he Liberals will feel his loss keenly. He was a staunch Nonconformist, and by profession an electrical engineer. We fear that the Promenade Pier Pavilion will not be completed this summer. The excavations for the lift up Constitution Hill are being proceeded with, as also is the walling of the new hotel, opposite the Pier. Mr EDWARD CURTICE, 359, Strand, London, writes to suggest that all employers should make Monday their pay-day instead of Satur- day. He thinks, and no doubt correctly, that the letting loose of about ten millions of money in wages on Saturdays, which is a half- holiday, is a mistake, as people are tempted to spend money unnecessarily on Saturday after- noon and evening.
