HE INVESTED ONLY SEVEN SHILLINGS & SIXPENCE. There is c. man who has spent the past twtnty-five years of his life exploring for gold and other minerals in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, and New Zealand. He has no doubt picked up some money, yet he says that the investment of 7s Sd brought him in bigger returns than any other he ever made. Yet, bold on a minute. Don't let us jump to the conclusion that we can all get rich out of the proceeds of 7s 6d till we hear further from this financier. He has a hum- orous way of putting a serious thing, for which we should like him all the more. Some folk have no idea that sound sense and genuine fun are twin brothers, but they are all the same. Our friend's name is William Bromfield Peck, and he lives at Russell, New Zealand, a long way off. He says it is a lovely country and intends to stay in it^tbe balance of his days. As he landed in Australia, from England, in 1866, he has been there long enough to know what he is talking about. He advises persons of limited means who would like to become small landholders to emigrate to New Zealand. Still he reminds us that in the end we must pay for what we get. The calling of a prospector, for instance," said Mr Peck, is full of hard work. Besides, it entails rough living, such as salt junk, soddened I damper, with tea in bucketfuls. One must have the digestive capacity of an ostrich or an anaconda to stand that diet for long. It must therefore be taken as proof of the good machinery inside of ray system, when I mention that I actually stood it for nearly twenty-five years. "My punishment was delayed, you see, but it didn't fail. At last the climax came, and I was prostrated with agonising pain in the stomach and all the other symptoms of a profound derangement of all the digestive organs. I had to knock off work and cease all exertion. I was imbued with disgust with all things mundane. I believe that dytrpepsia i* responsible for a large portion of the world's suicides Mr Peck's conjecture is exactly parallel with the fact as set forth in the official statistics of all civilised countries. No other disease so demoralises and depresses human nature. It attacks the secret strongholds of the reason and drives people insane it stupeftes the sensibilites; it turns men and women into selfish, useless nuisances it impels them to commit crime. All this in addition to their own desolation and sufiering. Yes, Mr Peck is quite right. But to get back to what he says about himself. w At the advice of a friend—Mr W. Williams of this place—I began to take the far f t.med Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. What result did it have ? I'll tell you It has transformed me front Q, prematurely old man into one quite regenerated. I am a rapid eater and can't break myself of the bad habit. Hence I make it a point to keep a bottle by me always and an I occasional close when necessary to set me right. I can safely assert that the investment of 7s 6d in Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup was the best I ever made in all my chequered career. You may depend that I prescribe this medicine to all and sundry people I come in contact with. Prior to using it I spent pounds at different times, but only got partial relief. The Syrup seems to make straight for the seat of the trouble. I pen these lines just to show other sufferers the way out. There are any number of respectable persons bere who can attest the truth of what I have written.—Respectfully (Signed) WM. BROMFIELD PECK, Russell, Bay of Islands, New Zealand, July 2nd, 1892." We don't call for witnesses. Mr Peck's tale is frankness and truth itself. We hold out our hanl in greeting across the sea. Dyspepsia is a living death, and Mother Seigel gives new hfe. Millions sing that chorus. But he had better eat slower. Write again and tell us you are doing so. Friend Peck.

When the late Rev Edward Matthews, of Bridgend, lived in Ewenny, he was often met bv a very able parson of eccentric habits, I who would challenge him to preach for the best with him. All right," said Mr Matthews one day, entering into the fun of the thing. "Very good," said the parson, "the stake must be a sovereign. "Agreed. "Well," sail the parson, "where shall we preach T' In your pulpit," replied Mr r Mat chews. "I can't allow you there," said the parson, it is contrary to law." All right," put in M- Mat'hews, "you must not challenge me to preach again until you have paid this money." The parson never troubled Mr Matthews afterwards.

NORTH WALES COUNTY COUNCILS. DENBIGHSHIRE The annual statutory meeting of the coun- cil was held at Denbigh on Friday, when a very large number crowded the place allotted to the public, including Messrs T. Gee, W. G. Dodd, and other members of the old council. The members of the council present were Mr 8. Moss (in the chair), Aldermen Simon Jones, Thomas Jones, J. Watkin Lumley, W. Lester, W. Thomas, W. D. W. Griffith, and Thomas Parry, Councillors D. Owen, J. Roberts, Colonel Mainwaring, Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, D. Roberts, R. F. Graesser, J. Morris, O. Isgoed Jones, Richard Jones, H. R. Williams, Lieutenant-colonel Sand- bach, William Jones, R. Middleton Bid- dulph, Thomas Morris, W. G. Rigby, 11. Ellis, H. Williams, W. Davies, A. Foulkes, William Williams, H. Holland, Evan Roberts, John Roberts, J. H. Darby, B. Harrison, J. C. Edwards, E. Hooson, W. C. Hughes, F. B Soames, E. Bellis, J. Sparrow, W. irevor Parkins, W. Ellis, T. A. Wynne Edwards, P. E. Storey, J. M'Murray, S. Gregson Ellis, Thomas Ingham, W. E. Sammel, and C. K. Benson, with Mr LI. Adams, clerk, Mr Roberta, assistant clerk, Mr Humphrey Robei-ts, county accountant, and Mr R. LI. Williams, county snrveyer.

ELECTION OF (CHAIRMAN: A QUES- TION" OF VALIDITY AND A TIE. Mr T. A. Wynne Edwards, Denbigh, wished to ask a question, of which he had given notice to the clerk, viz., -^hether Mr Samuel Moss had a right, according to law, to occupy the chair and vote on the question of electing a chairman in face of the fact that he had acted as returning officer in the last election, and in that capacity had declared himself elected for the Burton division. The Chairman said he did not know whether the question was in order, but he would leave the matter in the hands of the clerk. t ) The Clerk (Mr LI. Adams) said he had, at 5.15 the previous evening, received a letter, asking two very important questions,^ and containing several references from Mr Wynne Edwards, and he could not look up all the references. The letter contained the two questions, (1) whether the election at Burton was not void on account of the fact that Mr Moss was returning officer, or through a deputy had returned himself elected; but whether Mr Moss, as an outgoing alderman, was not disqualified from voting in the elec- tion of chairman or aldermen. He had re- ceived from the deputy-returning officer, Mr R. J. Kendrick, notification that Mr Moss had been elected, and in the face of that declaration he had not seen how they could tro behind it. There was the declaration, and they could not inquire into the question of the election there that council was not an inquiry court. Mr J. W. Lumley, Ruthin, strongly pro- tested against the waste of time in discussing that matter there. If there was any ques- tion as to wrong election there was a proper court to settle it. ) Mr Edward Hooson, Rhos, said even if Mr Moss had not feeen properly elected a mem- ber of the Council, as the law enacted that they could elect as chairman a member etf tlie council or not, it gave him great pleasure in proposing as chairman one who was, he thought, qualified for the post. His past experience, and his meed of knowledge, his fairness and impartiality and dignity in the chair, which he had exhibited during the last two years, he thought ought to receive the recognition of the council. By electing Mr Moss he considered they would not 0 only honour Mr Moss, but would honour them- selves and the county of Denbigh. Air Wynne Edwards asked if it was ruled that his second question was not to be answered. The Chairman said as he was interested personally in the matter he did not wish to slop the clerk answering Mr Wynne Ed- wards, but lie understood that the clerk had decided that it was a question which they could not deal with there, and he thought the council acquiesced, and did not wish to discuss it any more. Mr Wynne Edwards said he was satisfied with the clerk's answer. Mr Thomas Thomas, Llangwm, seconded Mr Hooson's motion. Colonel Mainwaring, Cerigydruidion, said lie did not know how to address the chair- man, whether as Mr Councillor Moss or Mr Alderman Moss. The Chairman•: The way to address the chair is "Mr Chairman" or "Sir." Colonel Mainwaring said he was one of those who thought that the chair should not be occupied too long by the same person, and he hoped the council would in future appoint the chairman for one year only. He believed he had heard that some of the elections were more or less political—with politics they had nothing to do—(Mr Lum- ley: "Everything.").— the moderate men wished for less politics there, and he thought too much time in the council had been taken up in political matters. He hoped they would avoid pontics in future, and in order to do so he would propose that Sir Watkin Williams Wynn be elected chairman.—(Mr Lumley: "Politics again.") He had been a member of the council for six years and was chairman of the Ruabon Parish Council. Mr F. W. Soames, Wrexham, in seconding the motion, said he was extremely sorry to notice that as soon as politics were men- tioned a gentleman got up in an excited manner and interfered with their delibera- tions. Mr Lumley asked for the name, and after a scene of some excitement, Mr Soames attempting to continue and Mr Lumley per- sisting in demanding the name, Mr Soames said he referred to Mr Lumley. He thought Sir Watkin would be able to do the work with ability. He did not say that in any with ability. He did not say that in any hostile spirit to the present chairman, be- N cause everyone knew that he had devoted a great deal of time to the work of the council. ) ()n ins (Mr »Soames') side of the county the proposal to elect Sir Watkin would be re- j ccived with great satisfaction by people of all' opinions. j Hie Chairman was proceeding to put the amendment when Mr Lumley demanded a poll, and five members rising, a poll was taken, the result being for the amendment, 25; against, 25. The result was received with great excitement. Thy Chairman gave his casting vote against the amendment, and then put the original motion. The voting was similar, and the Chairman gave his easting vote for the motion, amidst Liberal cheers, thus declar- ing himself elected. The vote was a strietlv party one, with the exception of Mr T. Morris, of Llansilin, who voted for Sir Watkin. Mr Darby voted for Sir Watkin. Mr Lumley congratulated the chairman on his political election—("Hear, hear order") —to the chairmanship of the Denbigh County Council. Whatever was said about its being a non-political election, every Conservative member of the council voted for Sir Watkin. (A voice: "And one Radical.") He would tell them why that Radical voted for Sir Watkin Sir Watkin Williams Wynn rose to order, and the Chairman ruled Mr Lumley out oi order, amidst Conservative cheers.

ELECTION OF ALDERMEN. The election of eight aldermen was then proceeded with, and after two counts the Chairman announced the result as follows Elected, Captain R. T. Griffitli-Boscawen, 23; Mr J. R Burton, Minera Hall, 23; Sir Robert Egerton, 23; Mr Steele L. Roberts, Chirk, 23: Dr J. R. Jenkins, Ruthin, 23; Mr J. M. Hughes, Penvbont Hall, Llanyblodwel, 23; Mr W. Jones, Llanefydd. 22 Mr T. H. Roberts, 22. All the foregoing are Conservatives. Not elec- ted Mr T. Gee, 21; Mr Owen Williams, 21; Colonel J. R. Barnes, 20 Mt Christ- mas Jones, 20; Mr W. Coward, 20; Mr G. Cromar, 19 Mr David Jones, 19 Mr J. Parry, 19; Colonel Mainwanng, 1; Mr W. G. Dodd, 1; and Mr Isgoed Jones, 1. After adjournment for lunch, all the newly elected aldermen took their seats as members of the council.

ELECTION OF VICE-CHAIRMAN. Mr T W T ilimlor won Í\ ) Jones, as they were as well known to them & to him. Mr T. Parry, Colwyn Bay, seconded the motion. Mr J. ^Coster Edwards, Ruabon, moved that Sir Watkin be elected vice-chairman. He hoped that in the spirit of fair play he siiould be elected unanimously. Mr James Sparrow, Rossett, seconded. He had always been of the opinion that the party who had the chair should yield the vice- chair to their opponents. A poll was demanded by Mr Lumley, and Mr Lester asked that the question should be explained in Welsh. Mr Storey, Denbigh, suggested that it should be explained in Welsh by the chair (laughter). The Chairman said he had said in the elec- tion of chairman that the mover or seconder of each motion might explain it in Welsh, and he would say the same now. Mr Storey Are we to understand by that that the Chairman cannot explain it in Welsh? ("tff&er.") Mr Lumley began to explain it in VV elsh, and was met with a cry, We don't want it from you." The Chairman said he had ruled that the mover or seconder oould explain it in W elsh if he chose, and his ruling must be obeyed (hear, hear). Mr Lumley then explained the matter in Welsh. Mr Sparrow asked the Chairman to ex- plain for the guidance of the ignorant Eng- lieh members what Mr Lumley had said (Conservative laughter). The Chairman said Mr Lumley had re- peated in Welsh the English explanation already given. Mr Robert Ellis, Llanrhaiadr, asked if Sir Watkin understood it in Welsh himself. Sir WTatkin had no hesitation in saying that he did not undertfeand a fluent Welsh speech. The question of the knowledge 01 Welsh was not raised whan the election of Jonairman was before the council, and he; thought, in justice to himself, that the ques- tion should have been put clearly before the council, that it was necessary to have a chairman and vice-chairman who could under- stand Welsh (hear, hear). He did not wish to pose before the eouncil in any way that would deceive them, and he should like that | question to have been thrashed out fully when the question was a question of prin- eiple and not of individuals. Mr O. Isgoed Jones urged that a councillor from the western portion of the county should be elected to the vice-chair, as the chairman represented the eastern portion, j He felt it a great honour to have been named for the vice-chair, and he wished to say that | he was a thorough Welshman, and had done all in his power from conviction to benefit the county generally. At the same time he did not advocate his own claims, but wished to call the attention of the council to the desirableness of chosing a vice-chairman from the western part of the oownty. Then a vote was taken, when 30 voted for Sir Watkin Williams Wynn and 25 for Mr O. Isgocd Jones. Sir Watkin then took the vice-chair amidst cheers, and said he was very much obliged to tliem for having elected him to that position, COMMITTEES.

THE WATER SUPPLY OF j COLWYN BAY. A LIVELY DISCISSION. On Tuesday morning, a special meeting of the Colwvn Bay District Council was held foi the purpose of considering a new scheme of water supply. Councillor Thomas Parry, The Chairman said that he was convinced J.P., presided. that it was time for that council to do some- thing to secure a better supply of water, and it was a matter which required to be dealt with urgently. He did not know what would become of them if they happened to be in the same position as they had been recently, when the summer came and the place was full of visitors. He had to praise their sur- veyor; he had worked very hard, and if it had not been for his energy, he (the chair- man) did not know what would have beeome of the district. Mr John Roberts said that he did not un- derstand the relation of that council to the Joint Water Supply Board. They, as mem- bers of the council, oughts to understand what they had to do, and what they had not to do, as well as what the joint board ought to do for them. They knew that the joint board only brought their main within a couple of miles of their boundary. He thought they ought to urge upon the board the necessity for extending the main to Old Colwyn and Llysfaen. Mr W. Jones, C.E., the engineer of the council, reported upon the effect of the recent frost on the water pipes. He said that the effect had been more severe than he had ever anticipated, as within the last four or five days numerous burst mains and services had been discovered. At Rhos, the 3-inch main along the promenade had been rendered entirely beyond being used again, and it had been found necessary to shut off the water supply in that place owing to the leakage. He would, by that time, have finished relay- ing that main if he had not been reminded that by section 20 ef the provisional order, the whole of the water mains in that district were vested in the joint board. The Chairman The chairman of the joint board ordered you to stop ? The Rev W. Venables Williams I never gave him any such orders. The Engineer The chairman of the joint board called my attention. The Chairman That means that you are not to interfere with it. The Rev Venables Williams So, sir. The Chairman (to the engineer) You did not do it; you stopped ? The Engineer: I did not go on with the work. The Chairman said' that the question was what was their duty- as a council, and what was the duty of the joint board. The fact Was that they were hampered very much with the water there. They could Rot get a suffi- cient supply, and, fh his opinion, they ought to move strongly to get the water and the different branch pipes entirely in their own hands. What in the world did the joint board know about their requirements ? When they wanted to extend their mains, and the different branches in tho town, were they likely to go and ask the board for permission to do so, and spend a fortnight or six weeks, or six months, perhaps, before they got it ? He hoped they would not allow those matters to be centralised in the hands of the joint board, who knew nothing, and cared very little about them. It might be that accord- ing to the provisional order everything was merged in the joint board; but was that right was it fair; was it common sense ? He thought it was enough for the joint Ixwd to look after the work from the lake down to Conway, LIangwsterIn, and Colwyn Pay, and let every dvierent district provide for themselves. Everything that would be done in that district, if done under the joint board, he was sure, would cost them more than if they did it themselves. The Rev Venables Williams said that his position was an extremely difficult one, ilias- much as he was the chairman of the joint board and a member of the council. EYery- thing connected with that scheme was in the provisional order, which, he ventured to say, was on the statute book of the realm. To effect what they were seeking to do, they must repeal that Act. The Chairman Yes hear, hear. The Rev Venables Williams You misun- derstand me. Then I will nut my words in another form. It will have to be repealed. The Chairman And it must be repealed. Rev Venables Williams That I do not take any objection to if it suits your wishes. At any rate, it will have to be done before the action which you propose to take can be suc- cessfully maintained. The three authorities -Colwyn Bay, Conway, and the rural dis- trict authority of Conway—all constitute one board, and I say it very confidently that the combined water board is perfectly indepen- dent of the council of Colwyn Bay, exactly in the same way as the council of Colwyn Bay is independent of the County Council of Denbighshire. The united board is in no; sense whatever subordinate to the council of Colwyn Bay. If there is any question in dispute between the different authorities, the remedy is a very simple one, for bv see- tion 20 of this Act, any matters in dispute have to be referred to the Local Government Board. Mr John Porter thought that a meeting of the Cowlyd Water Board should be called to see if they could not agTi?e together to tret that urgent question settled. They could not afford to pnstjxme it (hear, hear). He did not believe the water board was against them. The Rev Y em hIes Williams thought it would be desirable to a^ooint four members of the council, who were not members of the joint board, to meet that board. Mr W. Davies asked why a meeting of the joint board had not been called since thev had been agitating for water ? The Rev Venables Williams exnlained that' that was owing to the illness of the clerk, who h;>d been laid up for some time. Mr TV Da vies Suppose he were dead. we would not have a meeting at all. That's an excuse. The Rev Venables Williams thought that a man's illness surely ought to be taken into account. The Chairman We are all very sorry for Mr Parry's illness, but he has a deputy. Mr Davies Colwyn Bay cannot be without water because Mr Parry is ill. Mr John Robert said that the chairman of the joint board was wrong in saying that they as a council had nothing to do with that board.. The Rev enables V. illiams I did not say that.. Mr John Roberts said that he desired to know whether the joint board was to do any- thing beyond bringing the main pipe to their, neighbourhood. Was it their duty to look after the branches required in Colwyn Bay ? The Chairman said that after .what had taken place between the chairman of the joint board and the council's engineer, it appeared that the joint l>oard thought that every branch in every district belonged to and was under their control. Mr J. Roberts: That's the opinion of our' chairman. Rev Venables Williams Take it for what it is worth. The Chairman said that he differed from the chairman of the joint board. But if that chairman was right. it was time for them to move to get their rights. From what he could gather from the Act. he believed that thev could raise money for anything required in that district. And to whom were the rate- payors to look except to the members they had chosen to look after their interests ? The members who were on the joint board were not elected by the ratepayers. Mr T. H. Farrington. C.E., the engineer, of the Cowlyd Water Board, said that when 1 the provisional order was secured, a plan of the works proposed to be done had been presented. That plan showed the trunk main as far as .Sam Mynach. It seemed to him that all the works constructed under the provisional order were vested in the joint board. The different constituent authori- ties had a right to have connections made with the trunk, but the connections had to I If, however, the different authorities wished to construct any new distributing mains, or any other works, it woald be necessary under that provisional order to give two months' notice to the joint board. In the event of any dispute, they would go to the Local Government Board, but until that arose, thev would have nothing to appeal about. That was the meaning of the reference to the Locwl Government Board in the provisional order. It was a question in his mind whether the joint board ought not to extend the 12- inch main to the boundary of the district. They would then be in a better position than thej were now. Mr J. Roberts said that the eo*n«il was really the water board for their own district. Th engineer seemingly shut his eyes to Llys- faen. Was it not the duty of the joint board to take on that main ? The Chairman said that they would have to move firmly before they would have an adequate supply. It was only fair that the joint board should bring the 12-inch main to the boundary of the council. They would have to face that matter; it was not a thing to laugh abont. Mr J. Blud asked if the chairman gave up his scheme. The Chairman replied that his scheme was to send the water up to the mountain abow the town, and get a reservoir there supplied from the main. Mr Blud moved that the scheme should be inspected along the whole route, that an en- gineer should be appointed to accompany the members of the board, and report; and that the whole matter should be submitted to a town's meeting. The scheme might be one of the finest in the kingdom. They wanted some means of satisfying themeelves that ft was so. He thought that in the past, the public had been shut out from those things and it was his opinion that if they had gone in for an independent supply for the district from the commencement, it would have been much better. The outlying districts could tap the main, but Colwyn*Bay was the last to be supplied. Mr J. Roberts said that there was a pres- sure of 2001bs. at Sam Mynach, which showed that the trunk main was all right': and the water would rise to 500 feet. Could the engineer explain how it was he had pre- sented such a good report at the last meeting, when there had been a burst the very next day ? Mr T. B. Farrington said that the council had to consider that a scheme with a length of main like that took some time to get into order. Mr W. Davies proposed that the matter should be postponed for a fortnight, and that each member should, in the meantime, be supplied with a copy of the provisional order.—No one seconded, and the motion dropped. Mr G. Bevan moved that the joint water supply board should be requested to extend their main trunk to supply Colwyn Bay and Llysfaen, by laying a nine inch main from Sam Mynach to Groes Bridge, and a six inch main from that point to the Llysfaen bound- ary, and construct a reservoir to supply the higher portions of the town of Colwyn Bay. —Mr W. Davies seconded. The Chairman thought that by passing that they would be throwing the matter out of their own hands. It would be far better if they did the work themselves. Mr Blud's motion was withdrawn, and that of Mr Bevan was carried. Attention was called to the suggestion that a deputation from the council should wait upon the Cowlyd board, whereupon Mr J. Roberts said that if they could not trust. those who had been appointed to represent the council on the board, he felt it would be better for those to stop at home and let some other members go. The Chairman I do not think Mr Davies or Mr Blud thought anything of the kind. Mr J. 'Roberts It looks very much like it. Rev Venables Williams If you are dis- satisfied with the members who represent this board The Chairman You did not use those words. Rev Venables Williams: Verr well: I will withdraw those words. However, there was a dissatisfaction underlying, and in order to have it all cleared up I threw out the sug- gestion that four members of this board should be appointed as a deputation to go to the joint board. That's all. Mr John Porter: I say this, let the old I hands stay at home, and send new members there. If you cannot trust us, I say it is a pity. What I say is, let us have a meeting, and have it out. Mr R. Evans How often does the joint board meet ? Rev Venables Williams Every month. Mr R. Evans They ought to have a meet- ing at once.
