The under- takings are bound to result io an outlay of capital which it is confidently anticipated will develop tbe available mineral resources—principally copper-of the district. If the Portmadoc to Beddgelert ri-il- way is finished first, it is bound to prove of incal culahle benefit to Portmadoc as a port, whereas if the North Wales Narrow Gaug Company turn up trumps the advantage must of necessity he enjoyed by Carnarvon..

Lawford, agent to Lord Harlech, in July, 1900, calling his attention to the unprotected state of the shafts, and a year later, when it was found that nothing had been done, auother notice was sent requesting the fencing to be carried out within twenty-eight days. Witness called a month later, but fonud the shafts still uneuclosed, and Inspector Hall when he came a month after found matters just the same.—Mr Humphreys said Mr Lawford never heard anything about the notice of 1900. Of course, it must have bef n received Mr Lawford had the 1901 notice him elf, and im- mediately gave instructions to the foreman, but the latter completely misunderstood him. About this time, Mr Liwford met with a serious accident which confined him to his room for two months. As a result he was unable to see personally whether the work was being executed. The summons came to him as a surprise as he thought the work had been carried out. Immediately after Mr Lawford gave instruc- tions to have the shafts enclosed at once and this had now been done.—The Bench retired, and on returning the Chairman said they had decided to cake a lenient view of the:case. They fined Lord Harlech £1 Is and 9s 6d costs. They were aware that Mr Lawford has been poorly and this might have contributed to the delay. Drunk and Disorderly. Evan Jones, Pant ffynon, charged by P.C. D. R. Davies with having been drunk and disorderly on November 11th, at Harlech, was fined 2s 6d and 8d 6d costs. Neglect of a Child. Griffith Thomas, Pen- uchardre, Harlech, tailor, was charged '.by Inspector Owen G. Owen, of the R.S.P.C.C., with having cruelly ill-treated and neglected his child. -Mr William George (Messrs Lloyd George and George) appeared for the Society. -Defendant, who it was proved had been personally served with a summons, did not appear.—Inspector Owen said he visited defendant's house on November 18th, accompanied by P.C. Daniel Davies. He had a conversation with defendant, and as a result a IJ neighbour, a respectable woman, was called in. J He examined the child, a girl of thirteen, in the 1 presence of the latter. He found her pale ( aud sickly in appearance. Her head was 8 covered with vermin, and her hair matted. She also bore all over the body marks of lice. ( Her clothing was infested with lice and fearfully I dirty. The limbs were crusted with filth and 1 dirt. Tha child had evidently suffered for a long time in fact, she was in a stunned state through neglect. She appeared quite sleepy. She seemed fairly well nourished. There was only onebed in the house and that was in a filthy state. In the j presence of defendant, he asked the child whether she slept in the fame bed as her father and she said "Yes." She said she slept in the same bed even when he was drunk.—The Chairman Is ahe of weak intellect ? Witness No very intelligent, but neglected. The Schcolmaster told me she was Tery intelligent. Her father, who confirmed the girl's statement as to sleeping in the same bed, had been warned on two occasions of neglecting his child, but he made light of the warnings.- The Chairman expressed the opinion that a girl of thirteen should have been able to look after herself a little.—Witness aid she had not the means She was doing the best she could when not at school.—The Chairman Was her face clean ?-Witness Yes,-P.C. Daniel Davies corroborated, and added that defendant was- of drunken habits. He saw the father and child on the previous day, and warned the former to attend th t day in answer to the summone.—Mr William George incidently observed that it was very sad that a case like this should exist in Wales.-Dr R. J. Jones, who _1.- .h-L- .L .i-L- did not sit on this case, wnuwiiuuuraicu as to tne condition of the girl. He said she was so neglected as to couse her great suffpring.-The Bench, after deliberating in private, sentenced defendant to two mouths' imprisonment and ordered the child to be removtd to the Workhouse unless relatives volun- teered to take care of her.-Inspeetor Owen i-aid he hoped to be able to get a relative to take her iv. Charge of Unlawful IVouiiding, -A case, in which two farm servants from Llanfihangel y-truethau were charged with having unlawfully and malic- iously wounded another farm servant, was proceed- ing as we Wre going to press. A report", ill be given next week. j

TOWYN. ST CADVAN'S CHURCH.—The Rev D. R. Pugh, M.A., commenced his duties as curate of this Church on Sunday, November 24th. He I)reaciie,i an eloquent sermon to a large congregation and was well received. DEBATING SOCIETY.-The ordinary weekly meet- ing of this society was held on Tuesday evening, under the presidency of Mr F. T. Tookey. The subject was My favourite novels and the reason why." Miss Parry, Glasfor, read a pap.,r and selected "Adam Bede," by George Elliot, as her favourite novel. Miss Annie Evans s favourite novels Wtre the Plckwick Papers" and "Richard Lewis." Nearly every individual in the room had a favourite novel or a favourite theme. SOCIAL EVENTNG.—A social evening was spent in the Assembly Rooms on Wednesday, November 20th. Mr J. Maethlon J.tmes presided. Miss May' Roberts, L R.A.M., was the accompanist. There was a large gathering and the proceedings FeTe successful throughout. One of the leadiug features of the evening was pennillion singing by Mr John Owen Jones, T.C.S., who was accom- panied on the harp by Mr Madoc Roberts. The rnom was handsomely dec rated. The Rev J. Griffiths, Bap iet minister, in proposing a vote cf thanks to those who had given assistance in getting up the meeting, especially men ioued their in- debtedness to the Calvinistic M thodists. Much credit is due to Mr bamuel Edmunds, Manchester House, for the part he took in organizing and carrying through the neees-ary work. The pro- c-, d,, which were considerable, were g¡vlcu in aid of the Baptist Chapel fund. N()V)ILTIES, -There are a few novelties at Towyn and in spite cf the duloess of the weather, the absence of visitors, th" waut of activity in the building trade and other industries, they might with advantage be noticed by the inhabitants. D;ckens had a Curiosity Shop" whioh he wrote a great deal al)ou-. Towyn has a deposit road which one might imagine contains as many curious things as the aforesaid shop d-d. The roa starrs iroui a poiut near the Church and l<-a<is in a ^northerly direction towards the Dysynni river. There are living and dead things on t ds road Ilwl things th,,t are neither dead nor alive. The strange heaps at the northern end of it are positiv-ly remarkable. They are curious to the eye, offensive to the nose, and obstructive to the feet'. If the writer thought his 1 fo would last long enough, he would start making a cat* ogue of the strange things deposit d on this road for t e beutfit of posterity, but the task is hopeless,. Another curiosity is the playground attached to the National School. It would be uselees to attempt to describe it, but an inspection on a rainy day would give a fair idea. Auother thing characteristic of Towynifes is that they think it desiiahle to deface aud disfigure everything new. A good example of this propensity may be sten in the hieroglyphics inscribed ou the new seats pro vided by the Improvement Commitve>. The time may come when the characteristics of the authorities of which therj is a large number at Towyn will be written in hieroglyphics, and the time will come very soon for some of those hieroglyphics to be suggested. DEATH OF THE REV. J. O. PARRY.—After a long illness borne with exemplary fortitude, the death took place on Thursday night of the Rev J. O. Parry, Pantteg. The deceased, who was only forty-one years of age, was a well-known preacher with the Wesleyan denomination. He was called to the mini-try about twelve years ago, when, after a successful and promising col- lege career, he officiated at Ashton-in-Maker- field, Pwllheli, Llanfyllin, Meifo I, Penmachno, and Mount Zion, Liverpool. The call to the latter Church was one of the highest compli- ments which his denomination could pay him. After working with marked success in the latter sphere for a brief period, his health broke down and he had to retire, coming to reside to Towyn where he hoped to regain strength. The de- ceased was one of the most promising of the younger generation of preachers amongst his denomination, being a clear thinker, a devoted reader of standard theological works, and an un- doubted believer in the Gospel which he preached. As a preacher, he was earnest and learned, but any reference to him in this connection would not be complete unless prominence were given to his fearless denunciation at all times of all kinds of hypocrisy both inside and outside the Church. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon, and in deference to the deceased's own desire, was of a semi-private character. The Revs Peter Jones and Robert Jones (Towyn), Madoc Roberts (Llangollen),and Edward Humphreys (Wrexham) officiated. The deceased, who was the only son of Mrs Parry, Rock View, leaves a widow to mourn her loss. The latter is a daughter of the late Mr Jones, Bryn, Llanyblodwel, Oswes- try. On Monday evening a memorial service was held at the Wesleyan Chapel, when the Rev Edward Humphreys, in the course of an eloquent sermon, made fitting reference to the deceased. Suitable hymns were sung, and at the close the "Hallelujah Chorus" was played on the organ. The family wish to thank all for their kind sympathy.

OBICOIETH. PERSONAL.—Mr Robert Roberts,coal merchant, Porth-yr-Aur, whose illness has confined him to the house for many weeks, is now able to take short walks in the open air. Although still very weak he is gradually gaining strength, and all who know him wish him a speedy restoration to health. THE CHURCH.—The Rector announced last Sunday that arrangements have been made for holding the next ordination of candidates for Holy Orders, for the Dioceses of Bangor and St. Asaph, in St. Deiniol's Church on Saturday, December 21st. A large attendance of clergy and laity is expected, and this being the firs, time of holding an ordination at Criccieth, th t event is looked forward to with much interese locally. I t DEBATING SOCIETIES.—"Has Great Britain reached the zenith of her greatness" was the subject of debate at last Tuesday's meeting of the Town Literary Society. Mr David Williams, the Eifion, opened in the affirmative, and Mr G. T. Williams, the Moorings, in the negative. Both openers argued with much ability from their re- spective standpoints and the addresses con- tributed by the succeeding speakers also reflected credit on the Society. Notwithstanding the late- ness of the hour, the members did not wish the "summing *up by the Chairman to be dispensed with, and the voting was not taken until eleven o clock, the result being a majority for the negative side.—Capel Mawr Debating Society, president, Rev Wni. Williams. The members of this Society held a mock parliamentary elec- tion last week. Two meetings were held, the Conservative, Sir Robert Pierce, addressing one, and the Liberal candidate, Mr J. J. Thomas, Pretoria, addressing the other, their respective chairmen being Messrs Edward Morgan and R P. Jones, London House. The voting was by ballot and resulted in the Liberal winning the seat by a majority of four votes.

APPEAL FROM THE MEN OF HARLECH." The following appeal has been issued :—Sir,— Will you kindly allow us to appeal in your columns to our fellow-Churcl)men-Weish and English—to assist in the creation of an endowment fund for historic Harlech ? Harlech, famed for its castle and its association with the national air of the Principality, the official county town of Merioneth- shire, has hitherto been conjoined ecclesiastically with another parish three miles away. The town has a large resident population, and the uorivalled beauty of the surrounding scenery and the vicinity of the Royal St. David's Golf Club attract annually an increasing number of visitors. The Church is at present temporarily served by a curate-in-charge, but it is felt that the time has come for Harlech to be made a separate ecclesiaitical district, with ita own resident clergyman. Subscriptions to the amount of £1,200 have been already promised in the neighbourhood. Local resources are, however, entirely inadequate to raise the £ 2,000, the mini- mum sum required before the formation of a parochial district can be sanctioned. We appeal, therefore, to Churchmen, both in Wales and England, to come to the aid of this historic town, and to show that the Church can maintain its hold there in as zealous a manner as Welshmen in former times sustained its siege. Subscriptions will be gratefully received by Mr W. 3. More, Noddfa, Harlech (I on. treasurer).—We are, &c., (Signed) WILLIAM R. M. WYNNE (H. M. Lieutenant and Constable of Harlech Castle). HARLECH. WINCHILSEA & NOTTINGHAM. CAROLINE J. HOLLAND. "Glyngarth Palace, Menai Bridge. Dear Mrs Hollaud,-l heartily approve ot the appeal which you are about to issue, and trust that it will be successful. The want of spiritual ministrations at Harlech has been a source of great trouble to both my predecessors. It is impossible for one man to adequately minister to two parishes so distant one from the other. The income is not large enough to be divided, so that Harlech must be separately endowed. Of course, £ 2,000 must be only regarded as a starting point. More will have to be raised afterwards.—Yours very truly, (Signed) WATKIN BANGOR."
