A LITERARY SOCIETY FOR THE TOWN OF RUTHIN. To the Editor of the FREE PRESS. Sir,—Many of the well-wishers of the young people of Ruthin regret that no Society, literary or debating, has been established for their benefit. That there is a clamant need for an institution of this nature, few ot those who are conversant with the condition of affairs in our little town will deny. Much is said from our pulpits and elsewhere about the perils and attractions of the public houses, and fierce are the denunciations thereof by fiery temperance orators, who are frequently themselves splendid examples of intemperance —at least in language and sentiment. But it may be well o bear in mind the true, though somewhat paradoxical, saying that the only effective way of destroying is to build up the aphoristic remark of Dr Chalmers about The expulsive power of a new affection cannot be too often cited. In other words, as the Social reformers assure us, it would appear that the most effective way of uprooting intemperance and kindred vices is to provide counter attractions. The apathy and indifference of our moral and religious leaders in this respect is a matter of surprise and regret to many people. That there is an abundance of promising material in the town i? beyond dis- pute, whilst as to the good, both intellectual and moral, done by Societies of this kind, abundant and eloquent testimony is borne from neighbouring towns like Deubigh and Mold. As far as the writer knows, Ruthin possesses the unenviable distinction of being almost the only town of any size in North Wales without either a Literary Society or a Public Library. Who will take the lead in remedying this defect? We all know that Vicar Prichard, like his great namesake of old, is anxious that Canwyll y Cymru should burn brightly— will he not throw his abundant zeal and enthusiasm into the inspiring in the youth of the town a daeper love and veneration for the "Lamp of Knowledge" and the "Lamp of Service f And will he not find worthy sup- port in representative men like the Mayor of Ruthin (Dr T 0 Jones) and the various Ex- mayors, who, happily, are still auaongsb us, viz:—Mr Ezra Koberts, Dr Hughes, Mr T H Roberts., and Mr Rouw. Let them proceed on purely civic lines and appeal to yoaog and old. isrespective of sect and party, to support a movement which, if properly organised and directed,.is capable of conferring great benefits, material, intellectual, and moral, D the town of Kutbin and neigbbourtiood. -Yours, etc., FLOREAT NOSTRUM OPPIDULUM.

St Asaph Police Court. MONDAY.—Before Colonel Howard (chair- man), Dr Davies, Mr R C Enyon, Mr P Roberts, and Mr E Williams. INSANITARY HOUSE PROPERTY. Mr C Grimsley, as clerk to the St Asaph Rural District Council, applied for an order against the Rev Richard Wilson Jones (who did not appear) to abate a nuisance on his property .at Isterfyn Cottages. Mr Grimsley stated that the defendant bad called upon him and expressed his willingness to do the work, and had since been obtaining an estimate, but had done nothing to abate the nuisance. Witness took proceedings against the defendant for not complying with the order made against him in September. David Evans, inspector to the Rural District Council, said that he had visited the premises on many recent occasions, and he served the defendant with a notice, by the instructions of the Council on September 8th. The nuisance arose from defective privies, which were in a veiy insanitary condition and injurious to health. He suggested the provision of water closets and a proper drain. The Chairman No wouder there is scarlet fever in St Asaph Dr Lloyd Roberts, medical officer to the District Council, described the sanitary condition of the houses as very bad. It could be set right in a week, but the defendant never seemed to set about it. The Chairman We will see that it is set about. He added that the Bench made an order that the defendant should supply water closets and a proper drain to each hottse within a month. They considered it a very bad case, and they fined the defendant the full ponalty-f,5 and X2 lSs 6d costs.
