I "THEY SAY,"
I "THEY SAY," That owing to the great demand for Eucalyptus oil. which is regarded as the best preventative for influenza, the price of the oil has trebled within the last few days. That the scourge is very prevalent throughout the country, and is spreading rapidly. That Bangoj is fast bcc .ning the s.atoi learning in North Wales. That already the Independent and Baptist Colleges nave been removed to that city, and a movement is now on foot to remove the Training College there from Carnarvon. That Carnarvon ran Banger very closely for the University College, and the inhabitants are up in arms against the removal of the Training College from the former town. That hard-worked curates will find a good friend in the new Archbishop of York, who has given some original directions as to curates. The Archbishop orders that every curate shall have one day a week for rest or study; and one or two hours each day for reading, and he is expected to preaoh one, and only one, original sermon a month. That the Archbishop objects to boy vicars instructing their elders, therefore no curate is to get a living until he has been in orders ten years. That a Welshwoman, asked why she went to chapel and not to church on Sundays, replied, as she could not read, she went to chapel because she got all the news of the week in the long prayer." That Acting-Sergeant J. Ivor Davies has effected quite a change in the appearanoe of Holywell streets, and removed a long-standing nuisance by the exercise of tact and perseverance. That the Local Board having instructed the police to put a stop to the parapets being blocked with tradesmen's goods, this has been effectively done without legal proceedings being resorted to. That the effect of making parapets with sods, road- scrapings and a thin layer of gravel is amply demonstrated now that the snow has passed away, some of these modernly-made paths being covered several inches deep with mud.

In response to the request, a solemn requiem mass was sung in St. Winefride's Church this (Thusday) morning. At the close of the mournful service, the organist, Mrs. Hutchfield Jones, played Beethoven's "Dead March on the organ.

The annual report, which was ordered to be printed and circnlated amongst the subscribers, stated that the Committee of Management had the satisfaction of testifying to the continued success and usefulness of this valuable Institution, as a greater number of testifying to the continued success and usefulness of this valuable Institution, as a greater number of patients had been admitted in 1891 than in the previous year,—the numbers being 851 in 1890, and I 1416 in 1891. The statement of accounts for the past year shewed, that the income from all sources was;6334 3s. 7d., including a balance of £ 33 16s. 8d. brought forward from the previous year; patients' I fees, 4535 2s. 6d; Sunday collections, £ 16 18s. lid.; I and workmen's boxes, £ 5 4s. 5d. The expenditure, I which had been greater by reason of the severe epidemic of influenza in the spring, amounted to £ 301 8s. lid., leaving a balance of 132 14s. 9d. in I the hands of the treasurer. The Committee once more thanked the ministers and congregations in the town and neighbourhood, for their valuable aid he shewn by the Sunday collections, and the money obtained by the workmen's boxes.—Mr. Lambert referred to the valuable aid given the Institutionby a member of the Committee (Mr, Petrie) in prepar- ing for the workmen's collections. At the same time he regretted that the Sunday collections were not more generally taken up and more heartily responded to.—Mr. Carman endorsed w hat had been said as to Mr. Petrie's services, and said no doubt the Sunday offerings would be larger were the Institution converted into an infirmary.—The name of Mr. Llewelyn J. Henry, J.P., Lygen-y-wern, was unanimously added to the list of vice-presidents of the Dispensary.—The following were eleoted the Committee of Management for the year Rev. Evan Williams, Messrs.

. RUTHIN.
RUTHIN. TlIB TITHES AOT.-At Ruthin County Court, Oil Thursday, before Judge Lloyd, ./•> s Bronderwen, was sued by the Rev. Kurgan rector of Llangwyfan, for J63 3s. 7d., for tithes. Mr. F. L. Jones defended, and disputed the owner- ship of certain fields. His Honor ssid it was a farce to defend the action, as defendant had not a tittle of evidence. He ordered him to pay within fourteen days. MB. OSBERT EDWAETIS' DIFFICULTIES.—The Court of Appeal, consisting of the Master of the Rolls and Lord Justices Bowen and Fry, has disposed of the appeal of the defendant in the case Rumsey and an- other v. Edwards by way of an application for a new trial or judgment. The action was brought by the plaintffs to recover from the defendant, Mr. Edward Edwards, of Leighton Buzzard, the sum of 92,562 16s. 4d., which he had agreed to become re- sponsible for on behalf of his brother, Mr. William Osbert Edwards, a solicitor at Ruthin. There had been bankruptcy proceedings in the Wrexham County Court, as against the defendant's brother, and the defendant entered into an agreement by deed, dated the 14th December, 1886, to pay X2000 on being made acquainted by the plaintiffs of the default of his brother. The defendant received notice of SUl". uefault on the 22nd November, 1889, and they made their demand under the agreement for the X2000 with interest due thereon. The action was tried before Mr. Justice Hawkins, with a special jury, in Middlesex, and resulted in a verdict for the plaintiffs for the full amount. Mr. Murphy, Q.C., and Mr. Herbert Reed were counsel for the appellant, and the Attorney-General (Sir R. Webster, Q.C.), Mr. Wolff, Q.C., and Mr. Tindal Atkinson appeared for the respondents. Mr. Murphy, Q U., having opened the appeal, the Master of the Rolls, without calling upon the re- spondents' oounsel, said there was no ground for a new trial. The judge left the matters of fact to the jury, and they found that the defendant was liable to pay the;C2000 with interest as stipulated in the deed he entered into for the benefit of his brother when in straitened circumstances. That being so, the appeal must be dismissed with costs. Lord Justices Bowen and Fry concurred.

0 NERQUIS. FATAL CGLUBBY AoomBNT.-An aooident result- in the death of a young man named John Jones, residing at Old School, Nerquis, ocourred at the Coed Talon Oolliery, near Mold, on Monday. It appears that deceased and another man were on one of the crosses in the workings, when a tub came along the rails near to the place where they were, by some means it was capsized, and striking the roof broughtjdown with it a considerable quantity of dirt. The two men were instantly buried, and work was suspended. A number of men immediately went to their assistance, and after some difficulty succeeded in removing sufficient of the debris to recover one of the men, who was much injured. Jones, however, when reached was quite dead.
HAWARDEN.
HAWARDEN. SVDDBN DEATH.—An inquest was held by Mr. Davies, coroner for Flintshire, at the Boar's Head Inn, Ewloe, near Hawarden, on Friday last, on the body of John Seacombe. There appeared to be some mystery connected with his death, and the jury were unable to come to a decision. An adjourn- ment was proposed for a post-mortem examination, but on the jury meeting again on Monday, evidence was given on which it was deemed advisable not to hold the post-mortem examination, and they found a verdict of" Death from natural oauses." It seems that Seacombe's wife died about a week ago and was buried. Three days afterwards Seaoombe him- self was found dead on the highway, and an iiquest was opened last Friday. It was then represented to the coroner that Mrs. Seacombe's sister, a Mrs. Ann Jones, from Minera, had made allegations that her sister was poisoned by her husband, and that he afterwards committed suicide. The coroner thereupon instructed the police to make a thorough inquiry into the matter, and adjourned the inquest. Since then the poliae had failed to find the slightest evidence which could warrant the allegation of Mrs. Jones; on the contrary, a number of witnesses gave evidence as to their having been on very good terms, and that Seacombe was very attentive and kind to his wife. The coroner oalled Mrs. Jones before him, and interrogated her as to her allegations. She stated that some of the neighbours had told her that her sister had been poisoned, but she could neither name nor recognise her informants. Upon being further pressed she admitted that she knew nothing about it," and that it had all originated with herself. The coroner severely censured her for her conduct.

WINDING UP THE LXXE COMPANY.—At the Liver- pool County Court, on Thursday, his Honor Judge Collier granted a winding-up order in regard to the Holywell Lime and Cement Company, Limited, whose registered office is at 41, North John-street, Liverpool. Mr. Cunningham, barrister, appeared on behalf of the petitioner and several shareholders, and Mr. W. F. Taylor represented the company, the solicitor in the proceedings being Mr. E. L. Lewis, of North John-street, Liverpool. The com- pany was formed in October, 1884, and the winding- up petition was lodged on behalf of Mr. George Cuckson, farmer, Maghull. CALVINISTIO METHODIST MONTHLY MEETING.— On Monday last the monthly meeting of the Flint- shire Presbytery, was held at Peniel Chapel Greenfield, under the presidency of Mr. Edward Hooson, Rhosllanerchrugog. The formal account of the Church at Peniel was received by the meeting and the work in progress was deemed satisfactory. A paper was read by Mr. Robert Williams, Mold, on the duty of the church in regard to the use of unseeming language in conversation." Permission was given to Mr. Wm. E. Williams, of Carmel, to enter for examination as a candidate for the ministry. Messrs. Davies, Wrexham, and Hughes, Rhos, were permitted to preach on trial for twelve months. An address of no interesting nature was delivered hv the Pf-v. Robt. Evans, missionary from the Ixaa.esia iiis, on the work effected by the connex- ional missionary effort in that district of the Indian Empire, and he also gave an account of the progress made in Christianizing the natives during the past ten years. The next meeting was fixed to be held at Chester, on the 29th of February, Several matters connected with the Presbytery were dealt with by the meeting. At the usual preaching meetings the special preachers were the Rev. J. P. Davies, M.A., Chester Griffith Owen, Rhosddu Evan Jones, Adwy'rclawdd; John Owen, Mold, and R. Morris, Wrexham. AMUSING REPETITION OF A SPOBTING INCIDENT.— Wild duck shooting on the Marsh at Greenfield, during the winter months, is a favourite sport with many, and the; practice which the "sportsmen" obtain with the gun is extensive and at times varied in a somewhat' irritating, but albeit amusing manner, as instance :—About twelve months back a sports- man" armed and equipped for all contingencies, went out to" bag wild duck. Calmly resting on the rippling waters of a large pool, the sportsman observed a fowl which offered the chance of a good shot. After considerable manoeuvring, click went the trigger, bang went the gun, the fatal shot sped on its way, and the elated sportsman quickly made for the spot where the shot had told. He found the ■pot; he did not find the wild duck, but, where the duck should have been, he found an old tin can which bore unmistakable signs of having been peppered with shot. The sportsman's chagrin may be better imagined than described. The most amusing part of the incident is, that another sportsman went down to the Marsh for the same purpose as the former-i.e., to shoot ducks not cans —and soon got sight of a bird. Again, the object was watched, and when a favourable spot was obtained, the fatal shot poured in. With a run the sportsman hastened to bag the result of his 8hot- Presto! the duck had gone! and mystery of mysteries, an old tin can was perforated with tiny holes some old, some new. The old can had again aoted the part of the decoy.—It is not stated that the sportsman had any more shots or that he left the decoy to dupe the next comer.
FLINT.I
FLINT. We regret to hear that Mr. Henry Taylor, Town Clerk of Flint, is prostrated with the prevailing influenza epidemic. LETTER FROM THE QUEEN. The Rev. W. Ll. Nicholas, Rector of Flint, having sent a copy of the resolution of condolence upon the death of the Duke of Clarence, passed by the Flint Churoh Association, to Her Majesty the Queen, has received the following reply I I General Sir Henry F. Ponsonby, is commanded by the Queen, to thank the Rev. W. Ll. Nicholas for his letter of lGohinst. -20th January, 1892, Buckingham Palace." PROPOSED PRESENTATION TO POLICE-SKBGBANT W ABD.-A meeting, convened by Major Dyson at the request of many friends of Sergeant Ward, was held at the Town Hall, on Friday last. There were present—The Mayor (Aid. J. L. Muspratt), Major Dyson, Mr. Taylor (Town Clerk), Mr. Hull, Mr. T. W. Hughes and Mr. W. Hughes. Coleshill; Mr. Denton, Mr. Vaughan, Stationmaster; Mr. J. Foulkes, Councillor E. J. Hughes, Sergt.-Instructor Bishop, Mr. Brady, Mr. R. Willia i s, Mr. A. B. Lloyd, Mr. J. Ll. Roberts, Mr. R. Mahon, Mr. Mannington, Mr. Wilkinson, Mr. W. E. Bithell. Mr. Roberts, Maesgwyn Mr. S. B. Bellis, Mr. J. D. Williams, Mr. Ardern, Mr. Meade, Mr. Morris, Gas Works Mr. T. Porter, Mr. D. Williams, Mr. J. P. Leighton. Mr. J. T. Jones, Mr. J. Williams, Mr. O. W. Jones, Mr. J. Owens, Mr. B. Bennett, and Mr. J. McDuff, o. On the motion of Major Dyson, the Mayor was elected to take the chair.— The Mayor said he felt that he was in his right place as Chief of the Borough justices to act as Chairman of the testimonial about to be presented to the chief police officer of the borough. He was sure that Sergeant Ward had done his duty most efficiently and had gained the goodwill and esteem of all the influential burgesses in the Borough, and he had the greatest possible pleasure in taking a part in raising the testimonial, which he trusted would be a handsome one (applause).—Major Dyson said he was glad to see so many present insupport of the testimonial to be given to Sergt. Ward in appreciation of his long and faithful services in town. Major Dyson eulogised at considerable length Sergt. Ward's merits and abilities and was frequently applauded. He eventually proposed amid applause, that a subscription list be opened.—Mr. Taylor in seconding the proposition said he had great pleasure in doing so, as Sergeant Ward from the time he had been in the town had performed his different duties to the satisfaction of all. The duties of a polioe offioer were frequently not enviable and he had to use considerable discretion in what charges he preferred, and he was glad to know that Sergeant Ward had earned the esteem and re- gard of the public generally. After 23 years service he hoped the testimonial would be a sub- stantial one (applause).—Mr. T. W. Hughes, Mr. Vaughan, and others also bore testimony to the way in which Sergt. Ward had done his duty.— Mr. T. W. Hughes was appointed treasurer, and Mr. W. E. Bithell, secretary, and the gentlemen present were appointed the committee. After the subscription list had been handed round, the hand- some sum of £ 23 4s. Od. was subscribed in the room, the Mayor heading it with J62 2s. Od. Sub- scriptions can be paid to any member of the committee, or the treasurer or secretary.
HALKYN.
HALKYN. Lord Stalbridge has been seriously ill from influenza, but is now recovering. The Rev. G. K. M. Green has been suffering from pneumonia, but is now better. Several members of the Duke of Westminster's family have been suffering from colds, but none have as yet fallen victims to the prevailing malady. There are, however, 21 cases of influenza at Eaton Hall, all being confined to the members of the household. SUDDEN DEATH. A very melancholy case of sudden death took place at Halkyn early on Thurs- day morning, the deceased being Mrs. Hannah Jones, widow, of Cupola Cottage. She was, on Wednesday afternoon, partaking of tea with her son-in-law (Mr. James Williams, Bank Place, Holywell), when she suddenly fell forward. She remained in an uneonscious state for a few hours and then expired, death being attributed to an epileptic attack and to an affection of the heart. The remains of the deceased, who was very highly esteemed in the neighbourhood, were interred in Balkyn Churchyard, on Saturday, the Rev. D. Jones (Druisyn), Holywell, officiating.

Herbert Roberts, Bryn- gwenallt, Abergele, son of Mr. John Roberts, M.P., Mr. A. C. Humphreys Owen (the late candidate for the borough), and Mr. A. Foulkes Griffiths, were submitted.

. jMISCELLANEOUS EXTRACTS.…
MISCELLANEOUS EXTRACTS. THE INFLUENCE OF THE iNIAGNET.For a few pence we can purchase a piece of magnetised steel, and by its belp we can learn some very interesting things abo. t it. We will lay it upon a table, and above it place half a she t of smooth writing paper, supported on each side Ly pieces of firewood of the same thickness as the magnet. A pennyworth of iron filings will com- plete the apparatus re uired. Scattering these iron filings over the piper so as to lightly cover it, we shall soon see, particularly if, to aid the process, we gently tap the paper, that the various atoms of iron are arranging them- selves in symmetrical curves of great beauty. The two poles are distinctly marked by the greater accumulation of lilinga over them, and from them proceed splendid feather-like lines which embrace and interlace with one another in a most curious manner. In the whole range of physical experiment there is nothing more beautiful, looking to the simple means employed, than these feathery diagrams of an invisible force: and we trust that our readers will not be content with mere verbal description, which can do such scant justice to the reality, but will produce the curves for themselves. We see here clearly defined the marvellous influence which the magnet exerts upon the neighbourhood around it— en influence which by some mysterious power will pene- trate all kinds of obstacles. We can put this to practical proof by interposing between the magnet and the sheet of paper a board, a t ook, or even the human hand, when the curves can be made visible all the same. We shall presently see how this strange force is taken advantage of in the articulating telephone.-Science for All. LOYE OF NATURE.-It has been observed, and there is a world of homely, even of legislative know- ledge in the observation, that wherever you see a flower in a cottage garden, or a bird at the window, you may feel sure that the cottagers are better.and wiser than their neighbours. THB HIGHEST PEAKS IN THE IVOILLD.-WG ascended the nearest hill, and, looking across the inter- vening valley, could count twelve peaks, the lowest of which was over twenty thousand feet, and the highest over twenty-eight thousand, upon which rested eleven thousand feet of perpetual snow-the snow line beinj distinctly marked from east to west as far as the ey( could reach. There can be no animal life in that Arctic region, no pulsations of vitality. Only the snow and ice rest there in endless sleep, cold, pitiless, and solemn. Th« sun was slowly declining in the west, faintly burnishing a few silvery, transparent clouds, while it touched the I ppMi-wbite tops of the Himalayas with ruby tints and cast a glow of mingled gold and purple down the sides most exposed to its rays. Every hue of the rainbow seemed to hang over the range, through which gleamed the snowy robe in which the peaks and sides were clad. The top of Kinchinjunga, the loftiest of them all, tower- ing three thousand feet above its fellows, as it radiated the glory of the sunset, made one hesitate whether it was indeed a mountain top or a fleecy cloud far up in the sky. As we watched with quickened pulse, the sunset glow, like a lingering kiss, hung over the grand white- turbaned peaks for a moment, as though unwilling to say good night, and then it suddenly vanished. The cool, dewy shadows gathered on the brow of Kinchin- junga like parting tears, and night closed swiftly over the deep, intervening valley, shutting out the loveliness of the vision, but leaving its impress glowingly fixed upon the memory for ever. The sunset view had fully repaid us for the four hundred miles journey due north. On the following morning we rose betimes to see the meeting between the god of day and those white-robed sentinels of time. We hardly dared to hope for a clear atmosphere. only the stars, perhaps a little weary with night watch- ing, were visible now. A fine sunrise to follow so beau- tiful a sunset would be almost too good fortune. The air was sharp and frosty, but we cared naught for the cold, now at freezing point, as we were between seven and eight thousand feet above the level of the plains. Our anticipations were sufficiently exhilarating to keer us warm. First came a delicate grey tinge, in the leaden sky as the morning seemed to partially awake from its slumber, and gradually a fitful light beamed out of the east, as the stars grew paler and paler. Objects about ns became more distinct, until presently the white peaks came iato .view one after the other. Then the vale of night was slowly removed, as Aurora extinguished the last of those flickering lamps, and the soft amber light touched the brow of each peak, causing it to blush like a beautiful maiden aroused from sleep at sight of one beloved. After the first salutation the rays became bolder, more ardent, and poured their depth of saffron hues all over the range, which now blushed and glowed like mountains of opal, flashing and burning in the glad; glorious sunlight. Dazzling to look upon, it grew yet stronger every moment until the mountains and valleys were flooded in an atmosphere of azure and gold, and every outline was filled in by the clear fresh light 01 the dawn, completing for us an experience never to be forgotten, the loveliness of which neither tongue nor pen can adequately express.—M. BaU nHs "lJue West." DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ENGLISH AND FRENCH ACTORS.-It must not be forgotten that in the expres- sion of the passions and emotions there is a fundamental difference between the English and the Latin races. In London, for instance, you must not expect to see the lover kneeling before the leading lady, lifting his hand to his eyes to brush away the furtive tear or laying it on his breast to still the tumult of his heart; rounding his arm like the handle of a basket, or transfixing the heavens with his deadly glance. Such exercises are perhaps natural in France, but they have the misfortune to be anything but English. The Briton never kneels, and never weeps he gives no sigh when his pulse is at 120, and he does not show you by his manner whether he wishes to be agreeable or to break every bone in your body. In a word, forcible acting, in his idea, does not consist in the expression of the emotions to the point of exaggeration, if need be, but rather in the suppression of all outward signs of passion, at all events until the moment when it bursts forth. Hence, an English actor may appear cold as an iceberg to a French spectator at the very time when the Englishman sitting next to him is most deeply moved—a fact, by the way, of which he gives no sign whatever. And so, too, to the English spectator, a French actor may Feem supremely ridiculous at the moment when he justly believes himself most Pathetic.-La Vie Publique en AnfjletelTf, par Pliillipt Dari/l.

CAUSE AND EFFECT.
CAUSE AND EFFECT. "LOOK here, my dear; we must do something to cut down the household expenses. The business is not going on as it should, and we must pull in a bit. I I Very well, dear. I am sorry to hear about the business how do you account for it ?" Oh I more competition, and the profits cut closer than ever. I am sure I don't know what it is going to end in." We suppose it would be hard to find a family where a conversation very like the above has not taken place some time or other, and with many it is an oft-repeated story. In such a case the cause is very apparent, but in others, of even greater im- portance, it is not so easily determined; and, in consequence, the situation becomes worse and worse. This is peculiarly the case with humpn ailments. For instanee, one would never suppose that headache, failure of memory, or palpitation of the heart are caused by derangement of the kidneys, but they are. lhose organs are responsible for many troubles which are in reality but symptoms of kidney disease. The kidneys having but few nerves of sensation ° 11 Pa*n> although they may be seriously affeoted. Among the symptoms of kidney disease may be mentioned hot dry akin, fickle appetite, bronchial troubles, scanty or wrong appearance of the water, swelling about the ankles, backache, dropsical symptoms, &c., &c. Yet by treating the kidneys, and thus removing the cause, these troubles will at once disappear. We are not stating the case too strongly when we say that Warner's I Safe I I Cure stands far beyond competition in its ability to regulate and cure disorders of the kidneys and liver. This is no idle assertion. Year by year its merits are being recognised more and more. Year by year it is overcoming social as well as professional ostracism, and from all sides and all classes are gratitude and unqualified praise to be heard. Courtney Street, Plymouth, 4th May, 1891. Having used your Warner's Safe Cure for the past twelve months as a remedy for kidney disease, which I have suffered from for many years, I am now only too glad to inform you that I am quite well, and will be pleased to recommend it to anyone suffering from such a disease, as I have done. M. B. KILLMM. 16, Battersea Rise, Clapham Common, London, S.W., 11th March, 1890. for twenty years I have been a martyr to kidney and liver complaint. I was advised to try Warner's I Safe Cure. I did so, and I can assure you I very soon felt relief. I gave the < Safe Cure yet another test, with stiil better result, and when I tell you that I have taken twenty bottles of this wonderful medicine, it will convince you that my case was a serious one, but I am happy to say that I have not enjoyed such good health for twenty years.
