FIBK AT BROXTON.—Early on Friday morning, a lad was cleaning a saddle in tho stable of the Egerton Arms, Broxton, wnen a cindle, which he held in one hand, fell amongst the straw and set fire to it. He put tne fire out, as he supposed, but shortly afterwards he saw a /treat flame, which he could not exringuish. The lad at once summoned assistance, and the fire brigade from Malpas, with the assistance of the Broxton engine, and: the Chester brigade, which afterwards arrived, succeeded in stopping the fire, but ouly after the contents of the stable, barn, and cartshed, including a crop of about ten < acres of wheat and oats, and some implements had been destroyed. The loss was covered by assurance.

The capital is £ o shares, and a considerable portion has been privately subscribed. The allotment list closed an Wednesday. DEATH OF THE CHIEF CONSTABLE OF ANGLESEY.— Capiain Griffith, the chief constable of Anglesey, died early on Saturday morning, at Brynteg, Menai Bridge. The deceased gentleman, who wis in his GOth year, was the descendant of a very old "Welsh county family, which traces its origin to a brother of Owain Gwyneud. He was educated at Shrewsbury School and Jesus College. Oxford, where he took his B.A. degree in April, 1>39. He was a magistrate and deputy-lieutenant for Carnar- vonshire, of which county he was high-sheriff in 1841, and served the same office for Merionethshire in 1844. He was a captain in the East Kent militia, and served with that regiment at Malta during the Crimean war. On March o, 1857, he was appointed chief constable of Anglesey. At the last quarter sessions for that county he signified his intention of resigning the appointment in March next, at the expiration of his 20 years' service. He leaves one son, Mr David Glynn Griffith, late a lieutenant in the Buffs. Both in public and private life, the late Captain White Griffith was greatly esteemed. A NBW CHURCH AT ABER.—The old church at Aber, known as a favourite resort of Mrs Heinans, is being demolished, the erection of an edifice of a more modern character having been decided upon. The designs of Messrs Pugin and Company, London, have been adapted, and the tender of Mr Evan Williams, Upper Bangor, has been accepted for the completion of the building, leaving the lower part of the tower and spire until ad- ditional funds have been obtained. The estimated cost of carrying out the works is £3,000, two-thirds of which, owing to the perseverance of Major Platt, Mr Llewellyn Lewii, and the rector, nave been already obtained or promised. The site has been given by Lord Penrhvn, who has also munificently subscribed towards the building fund. The first sods of the new site were cut this week by Mrs Henry Platt, and Mrs T. N. Williams, Mrs and Miss Birley, and Master Heilyn Platt. There was a large attendance at the ceremony, and a suitable address was delivered by the Rev. T. Norris Williams, rector of the parish. CONCERT AT LLANELIAN.—A musical treat, rarely equalled in a country concert, was given last Friday evening in the Plas National Schoolroom, Llanelian. The chair was taken by Mr S. P. Chambers, Liverpool, who delivered an excellent address at the opening and close of the meeting. Mr A. Evans Llygadog," acted as conductor. Eos Maelor," the Cathedral, Bangor, and "Crych Elen" were the principal artists, assisted by "Meinwen Elian," Annylyd Elian," Eos Elian," c, Alawydd Elian," "Eryr Eryrod Elian," Mr Hugh I Roberts and-Mr John Parry, Llysfaen. "EosMaelor" sang with great effect, and was deservedly encored. This being the third engagement he has had in this neigh- bourhood, in the course of three or four months only, proves that he is a great favourite. He has a good voice and power to coivey thought and effect in his singing. His good choice of songs is a great credit to him. 0; Crych Eien," who sang exceedingly well, was heartily cheered. Meinwen Elian" and "Annylyd Elian proved themselves, as well as the rest of the artists, very good singers. Mr D. Owen, National School, Colwyn, ably performed as accompanist on the har- monium. The usual complimentary thanks and the singing of the national anthem terminated the meeting. A WHLSH RAILWAY APPEAL CASE.—In the Court oi Appeal, on Friday, before Lords Justice James and Bagallay, and Sir G. Bramwell, the case of Eagles- field v. the Marquis of Londonderry and the Cambrian Railways Company was heard. The plaintiffs, in 1865, purchased from Mr Thomas Savin a sum of £10,000, stock in the above company, which, in the transfer was described as £10,000 Five per Cent. Preference Stock, Llanidloes Mo. 1, Act of 1860." The Llanidloes Company was in 1864 amalgamated with the Cambrian Company, and at that time had issued £85,000 Five per Cent. Preference Stock, and had power under their acts to issue £15,000 more preference stock. This power was on the amalgamation reserved to the Cambrian Company, but the amalgamating act settled the order of preference of the stocks of the Llanidloes Company thus:—(1) .£85,000 Preference No. 1; (2) < £ 60,000 Preference No 2. After the amalgamation the Cambrian Company issued to Mr Savin the .,£15.000 unissued stock of the Llanidloes Company, and treated it as ranking with the preference No. 1. Some years afterwards it was discovered, and was so decided by Vice Chancellor James, that the £ 15.000 could, according to the real meanmg of the Act of 1864, only rank after the preference No. 2; and thus the plaintiffs found that they had got a worth- less stock. The directors of the Cambrian Company and their secretary stated that when they issued the £15,000 stock they believed that they had power to issue itas No. 1 preference stock, and that they had been so advised by their solicitor. The plaintiffs filed the bill against the Marquis of Londonderry and three other directors of the Cambrian Company, as well as the company and their secretary, alleging that by the certificates issued by the Cambrian Company the plaintiffs had been misled, and that by reason of this misrepresentation the defendants were bound to make good to the plaintit the loss which they had sustained. The Master of the Rolls made a decree in the plaintiff favour. The defendants appealed. —Mr Cotton, Q.C., Mr Marten, Q.C., and Mr Cracknall were for the directors, Mr Fry, Q.C., and Mr Speed, were for the company and the secretary Mr Sonthgate, Q.C., Mr Dayey, Q.C., and Mr Phear were for the plaintiffs.—Their Lordships reversed the decision of the Master of the Rolls, holding that the defendants had not made any wilful misrepresentation, and that the plaintiffs had not, in fact, been deceived. The bill waa therefore j iliimiwil with otØ, iacUdfag tta costs <rf (fee appeal. A HAPPY THOUGHT.—Some surprise, and perhaps a littie amusement (says the Chester Courant), has been caused in far Boughton within the last few days by this discovery—A Mr was discovered packing up, as if in a hurry to leave the city, and his creditors begau to be a little importunate. One more importunate thau the rest, ,t hardly need be said a lady, interrupted the gentleman ia his preparations, and declared her intention of stayir g until the £ 2 he owed her should be paid. He appeal*a to her feelings, and exhausted bis ingenuity in vain upon her. She made no sign. At last a happy thought struck him. After explaining- that it was quite true he was going, ho said he would call ana pay her before he started. If she doubted him, she might take one of his little boys a little rosy-cheeked fellow of four years, as a hostage. She closed with the bargain and took the child. Liter iu the day she became anxious, and on in- quiry found that her debtor had gone, and left her in possession of the hostage as well as the unpaid bill. The case will probably come before the board of guardians,
DENBIGH.
DENBIGH. THE RECTORY.—Mr Armor held a sale at household furniture, &c., at the Rectory, on Tuesday, over 300 lots being a sposed of. The new rector, the Rev. E. Smart, comes into residence this week. DRAMATIC CLUB.—A drama'ic club is in course of formation by a number of young men of the town, tradesmen, and others. The preliminary meeting was held on Monday night, and arrangements are being made for the production of two or three amusing pieces as soon as possible. It is time that Denbigh should keep pace in the matter of amusements for the winter evenings with such towns as ahy, Lad Ruthin. RESIDENT MINISTERS.—We hjar that the appoint- ment of the Rev. D. Jones, as resident minister to the English Presbyterian cause is about to be followed by the Welsh Baptists, Ilenliau-street, and the Welsh In- dependants, Swan-lane. In the former case a call has been. made to a minister now resident at Corwen. and tne latter bodv are likely to make a selection early. Both denominations had resident ministers until a few years ago.—A correspondent in one of our contemporaries strongly denies the statement they made to the effect that the Calvinist.c Methodists were about to appoint a resideat minister.

T. EVANS, House Surgeon. Donations of old linen, &c, are much wanted, and will be thankfully received. WORKING MEN'S READING-ROOM.—A public appeal is now being made by the committee of this reading- room for help towards the budding of the large room on the ground floor for conversation, debating, games, and smoking, which, they say, "WThen well warmed and lighted will, it is believed, provide a great attraction to working men, apprentices, and clerks, enabling them to spend a cheerful evening without the temptations of the public honse," and additional accommodation will be provided for the housekeeper which is much needed. Already Dr. R. F. Tumour, president of rhe institution, has given £ 20; the Mayor of Deubigh, T. J. Williams, E'q, E5 Mr T. Gold Edwards, vice-president, J05 Mr P. H. Chambres. < £ 5 and Mr A. S. Weston, X-5. The work is progressing rapidly. and the to al cost will be £ 125. A Christmas tree is being prepared for exhibition to assist the necessary funds. THE VOLUNTEERs.-Sereant-Instruct.or Henry Bach- log, who has been attached to the Denbigh volunteers for some years, has receiyed intimation from the War Office that he will shortly receive his discharge and be placed on the pensioners' staff. As he ha.. done able service to the GO: ps, a meeting has been held for the purpose of deciding what steps should be taken to re- cognise I is services. Sergeant James Hughes was ap- pointed secretary and treasurer, and it was resolved to raise a fund to enable Sergeant Bachlog to commence some suitable business, which would supplement his in- come and enable him to live comfortably. Already the pr.jVct has received the support of the officers, and an appeal is to be made to the past and present members and friends of the corps. For some years Sergeant Bachlog acted most efficiently as sergeant-major of the Denbighshire Battalion. Whilst in the army he served many years in India, and was there during the mutiny. A KIND AND HONEST ACTION.—That kindness of heart, combined with strict honesty, prevails to a great extent amongst the industrious classes, is a fact that cannot be gainsaid. The following incident, though trifling in itself, illustrates this point:—A nice interes'. ing little girl journeys regularly on a Saturdav to the village of Heni;an for the sale of literature of all kinds. On Saturday, on her return journey, she sat down on a stone, near a s'yle, to count her takings. When she got home she discovered that she had lost a threepenny piece, and was only persuaded from going back to her restiBg-placo in search of it by the assurance that is would be gone. It chanced that a respectable working man found the "loit piece of silver," and diligently inquired for the owner, and having ascertained whose it was, be walked over two miles to the town to restore it to his little friend, who was, of course, very glad to receive it. THE RECENT DEMONSTRATION IN HONOUR OF DR. PIFRCE.-The following names were omitted from the list of those present at the banquet at the County Hall, and it may be remarked that many were unable to obtain access to the room:—The Rev. J. R. Roberts, Grammar School; Mr John Knowles, draper; Mr Thomas Roberts, provision dealer; Mr J. O. Jones, Groes; Mrs Roberts, Crown Square; the Rev. L. T. Lewis, Nantglyn; the Rev, L. Williams, Prion; the Rev. W. Hughes, Caerwys; Mr T. Luther Jones, Holy- well, and party (3); Mr Davies, Monmouth Mr J. R. Jones, Ruthin; Mr Jones, Ty-issa Green; Mr G. H. Adams, Mold; Mr Lewis, Mostyn Quay; Mr Ellis, Love-kno Mr Roberts, Gaing Towyn; Mr T. Williams, Park-lane; Mrs White, Plas-yn-cornel Mr J. W. Lloyd, J.P., Brookhouse; Mrs Adams and party (3), Mold; Mr Parry, Bodelweog; Mr and Mrs E. Williams, Glvn- arthur; Master and Miss William?, Vale-street; Mrs Bell Leech and Miss Williams; Mrs Roberts, Glasmore Mrs Pritchard and party, Wrexham Mrs Thomson Dr. Girdleston and party, Rhyl; and Mr Henderson and party, Llaadudno; Mrs and Miss Vaughan Jones, Park House. A gentleman, on seeing the children bearing the banners with the representation of Dr. Pierce's crest, namely, a hand holding an open lancet, with the words, I wound to heal," composed the fol- lowing lines Father among thy people; friend Sent by thy :M:a.ter'3 will, The poor and needy to attend, And heal them by their skill. A tender heart is given thee For suffering to Ieel, Thy motto, it is charity, "I wound," but 'tis to heal." We learn that the following "Sonnet," by Mr T. Cambrian Jones, of St. Asaph, which has been well received, is likely to form part of the inscription on tho base of the column :— SONNET. To Dr. Evan Pierce, of Denbigh, Thursday, Nov. 23rd, 1876. Thou dost not need the sculptor's cunning art In costly marble to uphold thy name We know the Rood deeds of thy long life claim Far loftier praise than marble can impart; For thou art treasured in our country's heart, And Welshmen guard the honour of thy fame. We know a statue was not thy life's aim, But others will'd one—and this statue came. There let it stand through many a peaceful year, And when in after time hard by shall stray Pilgrims from stranger lands who ask to hear, The meaning of the statue, men will say. It marks where dwelt the man we all revere. Who toiled for public good-whose deeds outlive his day. BOROUGH MAGISTRATES' COURT. FRIDAY.—Before the Mayer, T. J. Williams, Esq., Dr. A. E. Turnour, Capt. R.Lloyd Williams, and Mr J. W. Lloyd. A Row BETWEEN WomEi.-M iry Davies, of Tan-y- Gwalid, was summoned by Mary Bather, for an assault, but by permission of the Bench tie case was settled out of Court. EXPENSIVE POACHING EXPEDITION.—Robert Jones, Henllan-street, and William Jones, alias 11 Slanger," were summoned for poaching. As the latter was then in charge at Ruthin, and the service (f summons having been proved, the case stood over till he had served his time in prison. Against Robert Jones, who did not appear, the case was gone into.—Mr B. H. Roberts was for the plaintiff.—Alfred Jones, game-keeper, on the Plas Heaton Estate, who, with Moses Vaughan, proved that defendant was on the 8th Nov. on the plantation at the Crest with a gun shooting pheasants. He followed him, and he went with William Jones through the road and on the other property.—Both cases having been proved defendant was fined Y.2 in each case, and £1 Is costs in each case, making a total of tG 2s. GOOD TEMPLARY AND THE MAGISTRATES' DECISIONS. A letter was received from Tower Hill Lodge of Good Templars requesting that the Bench in dealing with cases of drunkenness would suspend their judgement for a certain time, to give the off ending- persons a chance of signing the pledge. The Bench said they could not undertake to make it a rule, but in all cases of a pratic- able character they would give the recommendation their favourable consideration.
RUTHIN.
RUTHIN. THE BATTLE OF WATERLOO.—This peace with its many incidents met with so much favour that it was arranged by special desire to repeat it yesterday evening ^Friday.) in the assembly rooms. SCHOOL BOARD.-Yesterday, (Friday) evening, the members of the School Board met to take into con- sideration the kind of religious instruction that is to be imported in the Board Schools. The question has been postponed for this lengthened period, but, the Board have at last read red to face the dimealty. THE RAILWAY.—To-day, (Saturday) a meeting is to be held respecting the Cerrig-y druulion lEulyway, to I which not only rlie present shareholders have been in- vited but also the mayor and corporation of Ruthin and a number of thr leading farmers and otiiers from Cerrig- y-d.-uidion and Ruthin, with a view of making the scheme as popular as possible. NANTCLWYD HALL.—The extensive alterations and improvements which have been going on during the last two years at Nantyclwyd Hail have been completed. The hail is situate nearly five miles from Ruthin, in rither a hollow, which takes away some of its otherwise imposing character. Cobuel Naylor Leyland has ex- pended nearly £30,000 in making extensions and im- provements. A new wing hay been added, new out- cfficcs, stabling, and lodre have been erected, and a new drive made. The new ornamental fish pond has im- proved the place wonderfully. The new wing is com- pie'ed to correspond with the old portion of the hall, which is of Elizabethian style, with carved mullions and heads over rhe windows. A most artistic carving over the principal entrance door is much admired. The entrance hall is a lefty spacious room fitted up for theatrical and other grand entertainments, at one side of which is an orchestra approached by a spiral staircase. The ceiling is oak panelled and carved. The border of the flooring is artistically mlaid. The principal staircase is a work of art; the antidiluvian figures carved on the newel posts are very elaborate. The architect, Mr Walker, of Liverpool, and the contractor Mr D. Readdie, of Liverpool, gave every satisfaction. In addition to the above, Messrs Dovons and Williams, of Ruthin, have erected gasworks on the premises, which are now com- plete, and are in satisfactory wording order. THE BOHOUGH ACCOBNTS.—The annual accounts for the borough have been issued by tile borough treasurer, from whtca we find that at the present time the balance due to the Royal Exchange Assurance Company, on money borrowed by the corporation, is the largo sum of 8s 4J, and there is due to Mr Evan Jones, grocer, Llanfwrog, a mortgage debt of £600 at 4. per cent. Tnus the debt at liutnin is .£2,000 more than at Denbigh. This is a very large amount cousidering the size and business capabilities of the towns, but it must be borne in mind that at Ruthin a complete system of drainage has been carried out, which is not the case at Denbigh. The receipts during the year include £725 1Gs l £ on "ccount of rates. Tiio Assembly Room only produced £22 as; rents of Bank and corporate property at (: Galltegfa, £114 15s; cash for toli, £112; for stalls in H,dl, £70 4s 4d the total receipts, including £;;00 borrowed to complete the sewerage works, is £1,(j39 Is Had. The payments inc:ude.£1" 8 3s lOd for repairs of roads and sewers; .£1.1,7 5s for salaries; re- pairs of building It seems that only the small sum of £187 11s 8d has been repaid on account of prin- cipal due on loans, whilst the interest of money on loans actually reached £:!G3 Os 10.1, or nearly £16 more than tie amount paid in reduction cf tho debt. Tlie parment to the school board seems only to have been £1110. If that is all, the Ruthin school Bjard seem to manage things very much more economically than their neighbours at Denbigh. Then the sum of £ 407 is set down for sewerage works. Tho curfew bell and public clock is set down for £5 12s. We presume tins means the boil and clock of St. Peter's Church. After meeting 1 all the expenses, there rem ins a balance to the credit of the council of £186 13 0Jd. The accounts bear the names as auditors of William Edwards and Thomas Edwards (elected), and William Lloyd (major's auditor). ESCAPE OF A PHISONER:"WILL SLA.N'GEK'S EXPLOITS. Last week we recorded a street scene caused by William Jones, alias "SLngor," who is well known throughout the district for his poaching exploits, and drunken frolics. "Will," when sober, is a good tempered in- offensive fellow and is said to be one of the hardest working men obtainable. However that may be his chief time seems spent in auother direction. Whilst a warrant was out against him at Denbigh, and also two other summonses for poaching, Will got into a scrape at Rutoin and after one of his usual fights with the police, three of them managed to tie him on a hand cart and convey him to the lock-up. It is scarcely to be believed that after all this trouble had been given the police, Jones was on Monday last brought out of gaol and unhandcuffed allowed to walk through the streets of Eu'hin, between a warder f.om the gaol and a police officer, whether they had confidence in their ability to manage their man or that he had promised to go quietly with them if not handcuffed, we cannot say, and we shall not prejudge the case by expressing any opinion thereon but this is certain, that Jones was allowed to walk between his custodians in the manner described. The two came all right to the top of Clwyd Street, "William" having his hands in his pockets. When opposite the Waterloo Inn, he seems to have remembered that he had business at the bottom of the town and that its private character rendered it necessary that he should go there alone and thinking that if he went before the bench he would not soon have another op- portunity of transacting it, he suddenly turned back and finding he had got the downhill before him he bolted fall speed down the street. Mr Hunt, excise officer, who was in close proximity there to made a grab at him, but William declined the kind attention and like a, grey- hound sned along. Instead of keeping the straight road where he might have been stopped he bolte i up a passage, at the top of this was a doorway, but that was a trifling obstacle; he quickly scdcd the doorway and wall and dropped boluw. in a little time he reached the river, but a cold bath, unpleasant as it any be, was not to hinder him gaining sweet liberty. In he plunged and quickly reached the other side. When he was safe on the embankment he looked behind and feeling some- thing like a victor took off his cap and waved it in exultation. Then he surveyed the country and made off for the sheltered spots, all of which he knows thoroughly well. The as.onished warder and policeman, ef course, gave chase, but the doorway which "William" had nimbly scaled proved a formidable obstacle in their way and whilst they were thu delaying he got clear away. Intelligence was quickly conveyed to head quarters and the telegraphic wires put in motion but we suspect the runaway knew better than come within reach of telegraphic communication. In the evening the police officer visited Denbigh, but although William is daring enough for almost anything he did not venture home aud at the time of writing nothing had been heard of him. The magistrates who were pre- pared to hear his case of course had to adjourn it to an indefinite period. When he is caught no doubt he will be taken and kept in safety. COUNTY MAGISTRATES' COURT. MONDAY.—Before the Rev the Warden of Ruthin, in the chair, Lieut. Col. Leyland, Mr R. G. Johnson, Mr J. F. Jesse, and Mr Brooke Cunliffe. GROSS CRUELTY TO A DCG.—Inspector Eyles, of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, appeared to prosecute Anne Jones, of the parish of Llanganhafel, for gross cruelty to a dog, the property of Edward Jones, her neighbour. Defendant now expressed her great sorrow for having done so, and pleaded that she was in a passion at the time, the dog bftving stolen a piece of meat.—Inspector Byles, however, proved a very different state of things. The offence he said was com- mitted on the 17th of Oct. The woman threw a quantity of hot water upon the poor animal. It was now produced in Court, and although the cruelty was com- mitted six weeks previously, the dog's side was now quite raw from the effects of the scald. The owner of the dog denied that it was in the habit of stealing meat, as it was well kept, (which its condition proved), and he frequently sent meat into defendant's house for her children, facts which Mrs. Jones corroborated. They both. however, recommended defendant to the mercy of the Court.—The Bench severely denounced defendant's inhuman conduct, and reminded her that she was liable to three months' imprisonment, but as she had been recommended to mercy thoy would only fine her .£1 and costs.—An amusing incident was, that defendant actually borrowed same of the money from the prosecutor. PAUPERS AND THEIR RELATIVES.—John Davies, sawyer, Llangerniew, was summoned to contribute to- wards the support of his mother, Catherine Davies, of Aberwheelcr. Some rather unusual facts were connected with the case.—Defendant produced a letter from Mr Sand back, a magistrate for the county, stating that he was in that gentleman's employ as a sawyer, at £1 per week when he made full time. He had a delicate wife, and three children. Defendant also produced bills shew- ing that he was now in debt to the amount of J016 in consequence of the sickness of himself, his wife, and children, and also his mother-in-law, whom he had buried without help. He was quite willing to pay, but could not do so at present, till he had paid off his debts.—The Chairman said they were of opinion that he could con- tribute lB. weekly towards his mother's support, as his brother did. The Magistrates and the Board of Guardians were determined to compel sons to maintain their parents. —Mr R. H. Roberts, who appeared for the Guardians. did not ask for his fee, but the usual costs had reached 30s Gd, which defendant was told must be paid within a certain period.—Defendant considered it was very hard upon him, and he thought his sick wife and children had the first claim, and he feared this decision would increase his wife's illness.—Order made as stated above. MORE DEFAULTING SONS.—David Jones, Brymbo, and Edward Williams Kirkdale, Liverpool, two half-brothers and the sons of Mary Davies, were summoned to con- tribute to the support of their mother. Williams wrote, stating be was willing for his mother to share his home, and would not have allowed her to become chargeable to the union had she not married again. They were both willing to contribute, therefore an order for 2s weekly was mads on Jones and 36s 6d costs, and Is 6d weekly and 32s costs upon Williams. A NICE LANDLORD.—Thomas Roberts, of the Nag's Head Tavern, Ruthin, was charged with being drunk in his own licensed house. The police proved that about midnight on the date in question they found defendant in a sad state of drunkenness. He had turned his wife and child into the street. His conduct was very violent, and he was swearing that he would make his wife's blood run for her." The bench considered that it was a very bad case, and were anxious to make an example of him, but found they could only deal with him as drunk on licensed premises, and as it was the first offence could only fine him 10s.

The accident van with a staff of men from Chester, under the sapenntence of Mr Morgan, was soon on the spot.

Going down Tanyllan, to soe one of his fellow woikmen, he had to cross over the bridge which spans the brook that rumj through the village, aud the night being very dark he went a little too far before he turned, and walked ngt off the road inio the brook, f illing on a stone and crushing his side. He lay there for some minutes before he was able to move. He has not been able to work since, and has great pains in his side. The fall would be about eight feet from the level of the road, and anyone, especially a s.ranger, would easily meet with the same fall, there being nothing whatever to prevent anyone falling over. ENTERTAINMENT.—On Friday evening the third of the winter evening entertainments was h 'id in the National Schoolroom, under the presidency of Mr John Kenrick, who kindly gave the sum of one guinea towards the funds.

Mr Kempster's solos were clearly given, and the piano duet by Miss Marsh and Mr Sparrow deserves great praise. The young lady, who is of tender years, surprised the audience, and we believe (as her teacher, Mr Sparrow, has predicted) that she is destined to make a mark in the musical world. The other instrumental duets were very well rendered.

DIOCESAN INSPECTION OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOLS.— The following are the reports of the Diocesan Inspector after the examination of the children attending the National Schools. The inspection took place on October 30th Boys' School.—There has been a change of masters since the la-t examination, and the school promises well under the new master. The Church schools are much too small for the neighbourhood, and on account of the limited space the school seemed to be over-crowded, and children are obliged to be refused admission weekly. It would couduc much to the efficiency of these schools were the present range of buildings converted into one school and a new building erected for either the boys or girls. And some provision ought to be made for the separate instruction of the infants. Out of 158 children present at the examination 64 were infants. The vicar is very anxious to add to the present school accommoda- tion, and it is greatly to be hoped that he will receive the necessary support to enable him to carry out in a thorough manner his desire to meet the demand of increased accommo- dation. Girls' School.-This school has passed a satisfactory ex- amination. On Monday last, at 2 p.m., the children were congregated in the girls' school to receive the prize certificates awarded them by the St. Asaph Diocesan Board of Education. The vicar (Rev J. D. Edwards, B.A.), before distributing the prizes, said he was much pleased to be there to give away the prizes which had been so well earned. He trusted that those who had not been fortunate enough this year to obtain a prize would persevere and make progress to deserve one at the next examination. They might depend upon it that if they attended school regularly and paid attention they would be certain to be successful; and he trusted that the cer- tificates given that day to the successful scholars would prove a stimulus, and that they would use every effort to be among the successful next year. He was well pleased with their appearance and conduct. Heathen proceeded to distribute the prizes, commencing with the girls. The following were the recipients:— Extra First Class Prize-Mary Jane Jones, a nicely-bound book, entitled "Lost Gip" (by Farjion). First-class Certificates-Calheriue Elizabeth Roberts, Mary Elizabeth Roberts, Hannah Sheara. Second-class Certificates-Eliza J. Bowen, Elizabeth North- all, Mary Ellen Ellis, Martha Ketley. Third-class Certificates.—Sarah J. Roberts, Kate Borril, Mary Ann Evans, Emily Richards, Elizabeth Reid, Zephonah Jones. Fourth-class Certificates-Mary Ellen Evans. Ruth Jones, Infants' Certiffcates—Sarah Hughes, Elizabeth Jones. The rev gentleman proceed to distribute the boys' certi- ficates in the following order:— First-class Cettijkates-J ohn Henry Calvert, Thomas Cun- ningham, Ellis Davies. Second-class Certificates—Joshua Roberts, Edwin Edwards, Rnbert Thomas Morris. Third-class Cei-tijicates-William Jones, Kenrick Hughes, Alien Bowen, Wallace Jones. Fourth-class Certificates-John Holland, Geo. Dison Evans, Wm. Lloyd, Thos. Maurice Edwards. The vicar, in his usual affable manner, had a kind word to say to each of the recipients, who were very much pleased with their gifts. Amongst those present we noticed the Rev J. D. and Miss Edwards, Vicarage the Rev Wm. Jones (curate) and Mrs Jones, Miss Jones, Plas Issa; Mr Grinashmw, Mra Roberts, and Mr Morris, Newbridge. The whole of the proceedings were very pleasant.
