REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN…
REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE. Rainy weather has prevailed in many pirts of England, and the heavy soils are rather overladen with surface moisture. This will delay spriug sowints in such districts, w-dch. however, form no very im- portant proportion of the area to which birley, oats, and pulse are wont to ba confisietl. Tne agricultural outlook nut be regarded as favourable, but valoe i- too uncertain for i z rin- rs to feel justified in any fixed policy of cultivation. Thus it may pay to grow Inrley this season, but barley has ti be considered in relation to the keeping of sheep, to manure the land before sowing, to tne crop to follow the barley year, and so forth. Nor can we be sure that barley will go on paying for long. Already a London average of 30s 7d is found to attract shipments from California and Chili, from Asia Minor and North Africa, while France and Spain, Canada and New Zelbnd ha e good barley soils, and c nid enter the areua if prc-fit ze, me-i at all assured. Universal free trade means a p r- pstual menace to the country where value begins to rise-in fact, so far as it prevails, its tendency is to promote u-iifornrty of prices on a level of the cheapest market within the free trading arei. This at first is agreeable for the cunsum :r, but, as it b nds to eliminate the producer, without whose efforts the consumer could not survive for a week, it may be questioned whether, in the end, to protect the producer's right to -a fair profit on his labour is not to protect the cin sorrier also.—Mark Lane E.rprc.

BOW TREFT. S\D ACCIDENT ON THE RAILWAY. On Sunday morning, an old woman, eighty-six years of a?e, named Elizabeth Jones, of Bow Street, was proceeding on her way to church over the railway crossing near the Vicarage, Llanflhangel Geneur'glyn, when she was knocked a?e, named Elizabeth Jones, of Bow Street, was proceeding on her way to church over the railway crossing near the Vicarage, Llanflhangel Geneur'glyn, when she was knocked down by the train due at Aberystwyth at ten o'clock. The train was immediately brought to a standstill, and the woman was conveyed into the crossing houe, where she died a few minutes afterwards. The deceased is said to have been the oldest resident of Bow Street, and was much respected. She was the widow of Thomas Jones, miner. On Tuesday morning, an inquest was held at Lady Prvse's Schoolroom, touching the death, by John Evans, Esq., coroner, amt a jury composed of the fallowing e Rev J. -11. vicar of Lluntihangel (foreman); the Rev T. J. Morgan, Garn Messrs William Evans, Hutton-villa, Bow Street John Griffiths, Bow Street Richard Thomas, Hrvsgaga David James, Caergowydd Richard Edwards, Bow Street; Richard Morgans Davies, Post Otfioe David Evans, Cottage, Pengarn Richard Jones, Penrhiw David Morgan and Evan Lewis, Bow Street. Mr H. ('. Corfield, Oswestry, solicitor to the Ca;.ibrian Railway (Jompaay, and Inspector Gough, were present representing the Company. The jury having viewed the body, Margaret Davies, Bow Street, was called. She said she was a sister of the deceased's, whom she identilied. She last saw deceased alive on Satur- day night and on Sunday she saw the deceased in the house at the crossing near Llantihangel Vicarage. She was chen dead. There were bruises on her right arm and right knee. By Mr W. Evans—Sue could not say whether the crossing was private or public. Everybody used it, and it had been used long before the railway was made. She could not say whether people had the right to use the road. Mr Cyrneld said they were not quite clear upon the point, but he believed it was a public road before the railway was made. The Rev J. M. Griffiths asked the witness if she observed any hemorrhage and the witness replied that she saw no signs of blood or internal injuries. By the Uev T. J. Morgan—When witness saw deceased, shc seemed as if she had died upon her bed. John Ffoulkes, Oswestry, said he was an engine driver in the employ of the Cambrian Railway Company. On Sunday morning, he was driving the down mad, which left Llan- tihangel station at the proper time—9-154 a.m. The guard made an entry of the time at each station, and he took the time from the guard's statement. He did not consult his watch. When the train had left the station, be sounded the whistle, and nothing attracted his attention, until the fire- man sounded the whistle again, and almost immediately shouted out, Woh mate." Witness pulled up at once, and subsequently saw the deceased lying between the rails and the crossing house. The firemr.n and the guard carried her into the gate house, where a platelayer lived. Witness did not see the platelayer there when he actually pulled up, but afterwards saw him. Witness was on the same side of the engine as the deceased was found and when the fireman called out Woh the engine was hardly thirty yards from the crossing.—The Coroner: Have you any instructions- anything particular to do when you come to these level crossings?—Witness We are supposed to sound the whistle. —Ami the whistle wns sounded ?--Yes. By the Rev T. J. Morgan—You have to sound the whistle whether you see anything or not (- Yeg. By the Rev J. M. Grittiths-At what distance?—We have no instructions as to the distance simply to sound the whistle. —Witness added that no sooner did the fireman call Woh than he put on the brake. By the Coroner—They were going at, perhaps, 150 miles an hour, and the van had just passed the gate house when the train came to a standstill. By the Rev J. M. Griffiths-So you took 100 yards to pull up?--No, sir. My mate sounded the whistle, but I did not then shut off steam. My mate called out before we got to the crossing. Richard jThoruas said that on Sunday morning he was fireman on the down train. He did not notice what time it left Llantihangel Station, but Ffoulkes sounded the whistle. Witness sounded it again about thirty yards before they got to the crossing by the Vicarage, as they always did so near the crossings. He had not then seen anything. He was on the left-hand side of the engine and, looking out, saw an old woman walking straight to the crossing. She was then on the left side of the rails, about three yards from the metals. When he saw her he opened the whistle loud but, as she did not seem to take any notice of the whistle, he called out to Ffoulkes Woh Ffoulkes quickly put the break on. They were about fifteen yards from the crossing when he opened the whistle a second time. He kept the whistle open until he passed the crossing and the engine was stopped about the length of the train from the house. He then jumped down from the engine, and saw the old lady lying down on the right side of the train. The guard was present at the time,'and the gatekeeper was there quite as soon as witness was. The wife of t lie gatekeeper wis about forty yards above the crossing in the direction of the station, on the right-hand side of the rails. Witness helped to carry deceased in she was not dead then.. By the Rev J. M. Griffiths-Do you invariably sound the whistle at the crossings ?-Not always at every crossing. By the Coroner-He believed they had instructions, but he had not a copy of them. He had not had a copy. There were rules, but he had never read them. Mr Corfield said that did not matter in the present case as the whistle was sounded. By Mr Corfield-It was an automatic brake, which would stop a train sooner than any other brake. By the Rev J. M. Griffitlis-Yoii say that you sounded the whistle simply because it was your duty, and not in conse- quence of having seen anything ? — Yes. The Rev J. M. Griffiths said he asked the question as sounding the whistle there seemed a very unusual thing. John Arscott, platelayer, in the employ of the Cambrian Railway, living at the house at the crossing, said that being a platelayer he worked up and down the line. His wife and daughter lived at the gate house, but neither were in the employ of the Cambrian Railway, with the exception of looking after the gate. Air Corfield-He is quite right. He only lives there. Questioned by the Coroner, the witness said it was not part of his duty to watch the crossing when trains were coming. He had the ordinary wages of a platelayer in addition to having the house to li ve in. His wife had to look after the gate so that the public und trains might pass. She, however, received nothing for it, and was not informed by any- one that she was to do it. Or. Sunday morning his wife was about twenty yards up the line towards Llantihangel, and he was in the house when the train stopped. Having heard the whistle he went out. The driver generally whistled before the train got to the crossing, but the reason witness went out was that an extra whistle was given. The van of the train was on the Bow Street side of the house when it stopped. He saw the deceased woman lying between the metals and the house. There was no one with her then, but he could not say whether it was the guard or the driver who came up to her first. By Mr Corfield—As far as the gates were concerned, neither he, his wife, nor his daughter had anything else to do but to open them. The Rev T..T. rorgan--So you have nothing to do with foot passengers ?—No, sir.—W;-s there anything on her clothes to lead you to believe tlllt she h id been touched ?— No, sir. By the Rev J. M. (iriffitil"- The deceased was about six yards from the crossing when found. Thum:1s Jones, station inspector, Oswestry, said he worked as guard occasionally. Last Sunday morning he acted in the capacity of guard of the down mail. They left Llantihangel Station at the proper time—9-34. He made a note in his Station at the proper time—9-34. He made a note in his book of the delay as being—" !t-*7 to '.t il, Llantihangel cross- ing, woman knocked down by engine, and died about twelve mniutex afterwards." Ho heard a secon whistle, but he did not see the deceased until the trainstdpped. By the Rev T. J. Morgan—He made a note of the delay, and the reason but he could not say that the woman was knocked down, as he did not see it. By the Coroner—lhat was the conclusion you arrived at?— ye", that was the conclusion 1 came t,). The Rev J. M. Griffiths asked if the Coroner was satisfied that the deceased was crossing the railway, and not walking along the line ? The Coroner called Thomas James Jones, farmer, Llwyn- gwernotf, who deposed to seeing the deceased near the crossing in that direction. The Coroner suiiimed np and, after private deliberation, the jury brought in a verdict that deceased was accidentally killed, adding the following rider—" The jury recommend that, the road in question being a public road used by a large number of people, and especially by a large number of children, a footbridge ought to be at once erected over the railway, and the gates ought to be placed across the railway instead of being across the road." Mr Corfield said it was no part of the duty of an inquest jury to recommend what the law would not allow. The jury had recommended that the gates ought to be where the law said they ought not to be. 'the Rev .1. Griffiths asked if it was necessary to observe th-it there was no blame attached to anyone ? •ru 01'nner took it that the verdict included that. the jury decided to hand over their fees to the family of deceased.

LAMPETEK.
LAMPETEK. DKATH OF A NATIVE I AMBRICA.—1The American papers report the death of David S. Davies, Granville, Ohio, U.S.A., which took place on January 16th. The deceased, who was highly respected at Granrille, was a native of Lampeter or the neighbourhood. His parents' names were Stephen and Elizabeth Davies. He was horn on the 27th January, 1820, emigrated to America in 1842, and was married to one Miss Catherine Thomas in 1S43 of whom he had six children. BYE ELECTION.—An election to fill the vacancy on the Town Council, owing to the death of Mr Owen Thomas, painter, took place on Wednesday last, Alderman David James, (mayor,) being the returning officer. The result was as follows Samuel Davies Jones, draper John Evans, Harford Square, draper, PERSONAL.—We understand that Mr David Lloyd, solicitor, who has been indisposed for some time, is progressing favour- ably. Mr Lloyd, in accordance with medical advice, has undertaken a voyage. He left Lampeter on Monday week, and sailed from uoudon on the following day for Palestine. Writing from Naples, Mr Lloyd says that, so far. his health has not suffered from the sea voyage, and he has had no relapse. MONTHLY MEETING.—The monthly meetings of the Calvin- istic Methodists w ere held at Shiloh last week. On Tuesday evening there was a public meeting, the subject under dis- cussion being Cadwraeth y Sabbath." Public services were held on Wednesday morning when sermons were de- livered by the Revs D. Lewis, Penmorfa, and W. Prydderch, Coppa. At a public meeting, held in the afternoon, addresses were given on the following subjects Y lies y wnaeth y diwygiad Methodistaidd i Gvmru," by the Rev M. Evans, Tregaron Y cyfansoddiad Methodistaidd," bv the Rev G. Davies, Cardigan Prif ddiwygwyr y ganrif," by the Rev J. Morgan, Rhiwbwys Yr Ysgol Sabbothol," by the Rev It.

OBITUARY.—Mr William Jones, proprietor of the Arms Hotel, Bridgend, died athat place, on Thursday morning, last week, in his 52nd year. Mr Jones had been ailing ever since ltis arrival at Bridgend about two years ago, but it was only a week before his death that ha was prostrate 1. His doctor was cailud in, and found him suffering from Bright's disease, from which he soon sank. The early days of Mr and Mrs Jones's residence at Wyndham Arms Hotd were much saddened by the death of their eldest daughter at the a'je of 20. Mr Jones leaves a widow and three children to mourn their loss. He was a keen business man of gentlemanly demeanour and was highly respected at Bridgend, and the greatest sympathy is felt in t; at town for Mrs Jones and her family in their sad lnreavement. The deceased was a native of Lampeter, and came from one of the oldest and best known families in the tOWII. He was the son of the late John Jones, boot and shoe manufacturer. His father kept a shoemaker's shop, and employed a large number of hands. lnt fact bis shop was the principal seat of industry in the neighbourhood, and his boots were famous throughout the land. Jackie Baker," as he was familiarly known, were household words for many a decade and the history of Lampeter is inseparitely connected with that of his shop. The old shop, which was i% long straw thatched building, was at the lower end of the town below the Church. But the hoot factory extended far beyond this old building for he had a largf number of shoe- makers working for him at their homes in the neighbouring villages. The shops were afterivardj removed to High-street, where more commodious premises had been hu lr. for the purpose. At the death of his father Mr Williams Jones succeeded to the business, and carried it on successfully for tnan.v years, until he retired from the trade to take over the Black Lion Hotel. Some- thing over two years ago Mr Jones left Lampeter for Bridgend. Mr Jones was for sometime a member to the Lampeter Town Council. One of his brothers is vicar of Llanor, North Wales and another brother is vicar of Llanwrwg, Pembrokeshire. The body was conveyed by train to Lampeter on Monday evening. The funeral took place on Tuesday morning and was very largely attended. Numerous wreaths were sent by friends and relatives. The vicar officiated at the house and the Rev R. C. Jones at BrondeiS Unitarian Chapel, in the burial ground of which ehipel the remains were interred. Much sympathy is expressed with his widow and children.

TREGARON.
TREGARON. PLOUGHING & PLEACHING MATCHES. On Friday successful ploughing and pleaching matches were held at Tregaron in large fields belonging to Penlan in the occupation of Mr Edwin 0. Jones. The matches had been well-announced, and there was not only a large number of entries in the several classes, the candidates coming from the three corners of the county, but there was a remarkable attendance from the same area, there being, it is calculated, over 1,000 persons present. The event was also considered of such importance that an English plough manufacturer sent to Tregaron a prize plough and a champion ploughman for advertising purposes. The man did not compete, but was given an exhibition picce of land. He took his plough down by train, got a team of horses from one of the Tregaron hotels, started work about one hour after the others, and finished about two hours sooner. He turned out a tine piece of work and consequently he and his plough became the ad- miration of the whole country side. The pleaching, or hedge trimming, was done in a field just under Sunny Hill. The ploughing matches took place in a fourteen acre field within a few hundred yards of the Rail- way Station and to the north of it. There was a champion class, and a junior class, as well as a class for boys. In the former Messrs M. II. Davis and Sons gave a valuable silver cup, and in the second Messrs Williams and White gave a silver medal. Ten competed in pleaching and no fewer than twenty-nine in ploughing. The matches were under the patronage of the Earl of Lis- burne, Mr J. Peacock, and Colonel Fryer. Complete arrange- ments had been made by a Committee composed of the fol- lowing Mr Roderick Lloyd, chairman Messrs William Jones, Ochor Hugh Williams, Derry Garon; John Jones, Penlan; E. O. Jones, Rees Jones, draper; Daniel Morgan, Red Lion Richard James, Morgan James, Camerfawr; Morgan Jones, road surveyor with T. Jenkins, Trecetl, and John Davis, saddler, who made attentive and efficient secretaries. The judges were—for ploughing, Messrs Richard James, Camerfawr .Tenkin Howell, Dyfnant, Talsarn and Joel Evans, Bwlchcyrnau, Llanilar; and, for pleaching and banking, Morgan Jones, road surveyor, and John Jones, Maeselwad.

Notice of Davies, Gorwydd, gave notice of motion that at the next meeting he would propose the adoption of the Deaf and Dumb Act, 1893. --A communication from the London County Asylum, claiming from the Board £ 20 11)s 9d for the maintenance of a William Williams, Llangeitho. who had also previously bnen at the Fisherton House Asylum in lDl, was received.—Mr William Rees said that he knew of no iiiazi of that name who had been living at Llangeitho.—Mr Davies, Gorwydd, suggested that a committee should be appointed immediately to look into the matter. The Guardians would have to reply before the end of 21 days.—The Clerk, in reply to a question, said that he received the order on bth February, and from that date 21 days began. Capt Couch thought the time should be oounted from the date the order was written.—Mr David Davies, Nantcwnlle, thought that a committee should be iormed to obtain more particulars. Mr Hichard Jones concurred.—Mr Jones, Ysbytty, asked the Clerk for hit; opinion of the cage.-The Clerk said that he had received no information at all with the order and could not five any. Mr Arch thought it peculiar that the Asylum should have made that claim without giving any particulars with reference to the claim.-Ir D. J. Williams said it was also peculiar that the claim had not been sent in previously. —It was ultimately agreed to appoint a committee, and the following were unanimouslv MrCTT,d Gorwydd, Mr W. II. Jones, Mr Willi™ Davies, ih fherl, nnd Mr John Rowlands, with power to use meir discretion in the matter independent of the Board. 'tWx.- U was agreed that, the Clerk write to all of tne assistant averseers ,vith respect to their arrears of exlla.

Jones thought the Guardians would not profit by the oven if it was erected, and as there was no one in the house able to bake bread the Guardians would have to pay a person.—Capt. Couch proposed that the matter be deferred for about three months. A new Board would soon be elected and he thought that unfinished work should not be given them when they came into office.—Mr Wm. Jones observed that baking was not a profitable undertaking or else the Board would have received more tenders when applied for.—Capt. Couch said that the building of the' oven would interfere with the insurance. They would have to increase the policy.—Mr John Parry proposed and Mr D. Jones seconded that the Committee should meet a second time to con- sider whether the price for buiiding the ovenhouse could be lowered.-As an amendment, Mr Davies, Nantcwalle, proposed that the matter be deferred until the new Board meet, on account of the expense. --Capt. Couch seconded.—On being put to the meeting, nine voted for the amendment, and five for the pro- position.—The amendment was therefore carried by a majority of four. J Intermediate Education.-A circular was received from Messrs J. Morgan, M.R.C.S., chairman, a.nd J. Rees, secretary, with reference to the Cardiganshire Intermediate Education and Ystrad Jleuiig School Charities. The circular was read by the Chairman. -Dr Morgan also read the circular in the vernacular and Mr Wm. Rees left the room remarking thut an otticer of the Board should not be allowed to speak. Mr W.H.Jones thought the Tregaron and Ystrad Meurisr Committees should work harmoniously together.—Captain Couch said that it had been agreed that this school should be opened to the whole disti-ict.-Nir John Parry said that a site and a large amount of money had been promised if the school was erected at Ystrad Meurig.—Mr W. H. Jones pro- posed that the matter be adjourned for a fortnight and Mr D. J Williams seconded.—Th" Rev J. Bowen said that he had been in- formed that a meeting of the Joint Education Committee would be held about the end of this month at Tregaron and that was the' reason why this matter should be considered that day.

HUGH DAVIES, CHEMISE1 MACHYNI -jETIT. T* INFLUENZA. (La Grippe). There can be little doubt that Influenza is as prevalent ow in this country as^ it has ever been, but as we are more accustomed to it, it attracts less attention. The symptoms are so well known as to require no description, but the causes are less understood. It Ü:, however, certain that when the system has run down and is in what is termed a low Condition that it is peculiarly liable to anattack of INFLUENZA, OR LA GRIPPE. Many remedies have been suggested, but it is generally acknowledged that the best treatment is nouri-tiin,, food, warmth, md a good tonic. The best tonic iii QUININE. And it has been clearly demonstrated that the best and Tp WTfv^rjA°l^d^nTisterii^ ™ the form of GWILYM EVANS' QUININE BITTERS. These Bitters have many advantages, which are now fully recognised 1. They are PURELY VEGETABLE, and are a pleasant and safe way of taking Quinine. 2. They have stood the test of TWENTY YEARS, and are acknowledged to be a HAPPY COMBINATION of the Best Medicinal Plants yet discovered such as Quinine, oarsaparilla, Lavender, Gentian, Dandelion. &c., mixea in scientmc proportions, and forming a Tonic preparation which is ABSOLUTELY U NEQU -KLLED. 3. We claim that by taking a dose of these Quinine Bitters daily, say about 11 o'clock, and thus keeping the system in good order, INFLUENZA CAN BE KEPT OFF. 4. We also claim tha tafter an attack of Influenza, when the patient is suffering from extreme weakness, lassitude, and low spirits, there is no preparation yet discovered vet equal to GWILYM EVANS' QUININE BITTERS To strengthen the system and revive tie spirits. ONE WORD Of Cavtios. All good things, whether in medicine or anything else are now imitated and the great success of Gv ^ym Evans' Quinine Bitters has been the means of starting many imitations which are absolutely of no value com- pared with these Bitters. The only advantage offered as an inducement to buy them, is,—that tbey are cheaper. This we jdniit. but assert that WORTHLESS imitations A HE DEAR AT ANY'PKICE.

Pennant Phillips also addressed the meeting. NARROW ESCAPE.—When the Neuaddfawr foxhounds last visited this district Mr J Eaton ticharrls had a very narrow escape.

The horse also escaped unhurt. Had it not been for the tree both horse and- rider would most likely have been killed. MARKET.—The usual market was held on Tuesday, Februan 20th, in the new premises.
