DOLGELLEY. BETHEL.—The members of Bethel C.M. Church have 'ecently purchased from Arnfield's Music Warehouse an Alexandre church harmonium. The instrument was specially selected by Mr Pyemoct at the London Warehouse. It con- sists of two rows of keys, with manual and octave couplers, ¡wenty stops, and eleven half sets of vibrators, with foot or land blower. It has proved to be a fine instrument, and has jiven general satisfaction to the congregation. ALARM.—During the night of Monday the inhabitants were alarmed by the discordant ringing of the Church balls. A. large number of people ran into the streets when it was ascertained that a young man, son of Mr Richardson, dentist, was missing. Search parties went out in all directions and tle was eventually found making his way back from Eilla whither he had walked. Mr Richardson desires to thank he people for their ready aid and sympathy. THE COUNTY SCHOOL.—At a recent examination of Bangor [ndependent College for eight scholarships, eighteen candi- lates presented themselves. The second place on the list was obtained by Iloljert Jones, of Corris, and the fourth was obtained by Peter Lewis, of Dolgelley. Jones was prepared for the examination at the County School, and Lewis was formerly a private pupil of the Headmaster. The scholar- ships are tenable for three years, and cover board and tuition. A. list of scholarships to he awarded in connection with the County School for the September teira appears in an adver- tisement. ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday afternoon an accident happened to a "goods train on its way from Dolgelley to Barmouth. A truck laden with lime at the rear of the train got off the metals and ploughed up about 300 yards of the permanent way. The site of the accident was a little on the Barmouth side of Penmaenpool on an embankment leading up to a bridge spanning a stream coming down from the direction of Abergwynant. The wheels on one side ran along within the fourfoot damaging the sleepers while the other did great iamage to the line of metals which bad to be renewed for nearly the entire distance. Seeing that the accident happened on a fairly high embankment and where there is a curve it is surprising bow the truck remained for the whole distance on the permanent way. A strong gang of men were put on the work and, notwithstanding a heavy downpour of rain throughout the night, had repaired the damage by the morning so that the seven train out of Dolgelley was able to run through. There was necessarily delay in the passenger tratlic, but Stauionmasters Jones and Roberts at Dolgelley improvised arrangements which were as satis- factory as possible in the circumstances.

On Monday evening a public meeting was called by the Urban District Council to consider the matter of burial ac- commodation in the district and if in the opinion ef the Meeting the same be deemed insufficient or unsatisfactory, and, further, to consider the desirability of the Council acquiring land in or near the district for providing a cemetery. The chair was taken by Mr J. Meyrick Jones (chairman of e the Urban Council), there being also present: Messrs W. R. l>avies (clerk to the Guardians). T. H. Roberts, J. Edwards, E. \V. Evans, W. O.

Allen, and others. Mr W. R. Davies read the notice convening the meeting, and the CHAIRMAN in his opening remarks said the members of the Council were not willing fto move in an important matter of that sort without consulting the ratepayers. The Rev EVAN DAVIES apologized for not speaking on the subject as requested by the Chairman, because he was about leaving the town. He, however felt the necessity of a public burial ground. Mr DAVID OWEN asked why the public was not consulted in the matter before ? It was a private matter at the start, and it was thought then that the concern would turn out a very profitable one. Now, however, after when it did not pay the promoters wanted to put the burden on the shoulders of the ratepayers. Mr J. CII.RLES HUGHES asked whether they meant to provide the accommodation for thetjwn or for the parish of Dolgelley ? ~~At Tuesday's meeting, the Clerk produced a receipt about ten years old signed bv Messrs Wm Griffith and Son, on be- half of Mr II Jon< s Tymawr, and the Rev Wm Davies, Llan- egryn for i:iO for the right to lay a sewer through the land.— As it was stated Mr Lewis bought the land subject to the easement, it was resolved to inform him of the facts.
