IA MERRY CHRISTMAS. I
A MERRY CHRISTMAS. Ever welcome, though ever coming before we are quite prepared, we hail its presence as though it were an old friend, and it is no wonder that from time immemorial the event has become in our minds a personal embodi- ment. Certainly Christmas may be, and is, put to good uses. At this season of the year the best of good feelings are in a high state of activity. The instincts of human nature, as a rule, make for selnahness, and under normal conditions we are not unpleasantly self-reminded that we are our brother's keeper. Moat people, however, at Christmas bring into the light of common day their better selves. Those better selves may be "cribbed, cabined, and connned" for the greater part of the year, but before each year finally passes away a change comes over the spirit of nearly everybody's dream. Roast beef and plum pudding when spoken of as traditional British fare, must sound like a satire to the preponderating poor, except at the end of each year, when generous people make ample provision for those usually forgotten too much. To-day there is the spirit of charity in the air, and they who give of their substance know better than to give churlishly or petulantly. Smites are plentiful, good temper reigns, and of all the holidays of the year the one we could least spare is Christmas, for then men, women, and children rise to the enjoyment of that higher selfishness which seeks satisfaction in efforts to make others happy and the luxury of doing good Is much more than a dream. Where is tho man with the soul so dead who can resist the joyful influences which sur- round him, and the opportunities of doing good which on every side abounds ? He cannot be an observer of mankind he can scarcely be a man of the world he certainly cannot be the fond father of a family. Dickens shows powerfully the effect of Christmas time in the character of an Individual who was naturally sordid and unimpressionable. There was, perhaps, a tinge of exaggeration in this, as in many of the characters of the genial novelist. Yet the idea had its foundation in human nature for there are few of us who, In some degree or other, are not susceptible to the like Innuence, and who are not awakened to a sense of exceptional duty as well as excep- tional pleasure. Our own immediate task partakes more of pleasure than of duty, and it is with the warmest feelinga of gratulation that we wish our readers A RIGHT MERRY CHRISTMAS. I

LOCAL SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION.
LOCAL SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION. AN UNITED SERVICE. On Sunday afternoon the scholars and teachers of the various Nonconformist Sunday Schools assembled in the Wesleyan Chapel, Haverfordwest, and all the local ministers were present. Singing, prayer, and the reading of the 23rd psalm was followed by an appropriate address by Mr Jacobs, the pastor of Albany Chapel, based upon the words Jesus called a little child unto them, and set him in the midst of them." That was what they were doing that day; they were treading very closely in the footsteps of the Master by endeavouring to train them in the fear of God. Jesus Christ was very fond of children, and never forgot while He was in the world that He ha.d been a boy Himself, but they wore apt to forget that they were children once, and thus they failed to sym- pathise with them, in their interest in them, and their love towards them. Jesus Christ always took an interest in boys and girls, and never failed to remind all those around Him of their duty to train and bring up the children in the way of God. They did not know whether Christ selected the best or the worst boy to come into their midst. He was strongly inclined to think that he selected the best, purest, and holiest. They would leam a few lessons from Him. What was the nrst ? He should say it was the lesson of purity and innocence, which they should do their best to retain, and ask Jesus to help them. The second lesson was humility, and the third love. As teachers they had four things to do for the children Teach them, pray for them, bring them to Christ, and give them plenty to do for Christ. Teaching was the chief purpose of the Sunday School, and was not one whit less in importance and value than the preaching of the Gospel from the pulpit. Prayer was the mightiest lever that God had placed in their hands, and they very often neglected to use it. The chief work of every teacher was to try and train the child for Christ, and their future as well as the child's depended upon that. Then after they ought to give their children as much to do as they could by the distribution of tracts, and carrying messages and letters about Christ and His life. Let them be consistent, regular, and earnest in their work in order that they could influence the children. They had grand gifts from their parents and Christ, a-nd he asked them to pass them on to the children in their classes, and they would hand them to others yet unborn.
Roose Petty Sessions.
Roose Petty Sessions. Saturday.—Before Messrs. R. Carrow, J. Thomas, J. Phillips, W. P. Ormond, J. H. Cora-rn, and W. Davies. I FINING THEMSELVES.

Ellen Walsh, of the London Coffee Tavern, Neyland, was charged with keeping open her house for the sale of intoxicating liquors on Sunday last.

Thomas deposed to passing defendant's house at 8.45 a.m., and seeing a man named Levi Reynolds passing out with a bottle of beer in his pocket. He went inside and saw a man named Maioney, a quartermaster on one of the boats, at the bar with a pint of beer before him. The barmaid said she had given him the beer for doing an errand for her that morning. Defendant said she was very sorry indeed. She had only just come downstairs when the officer came in. The offence was against her wish. Mr Carrow said the Bench were quite witling to take a lenient view, but the law had been broken, and they were b-)untl to impose a nue, which would be -?s and costs. The two men would have to pay 2s. Cd. each. [ ALLEGED TRESPASSING FOR RABBITS. I Edward Harries and Albert Harries, two young men' of tWiusle, were charged with trespassing on laud the property of Lord .Kensington, on Sunday, the 4th iust., in pursuit of conies. Mr R. T. P. Williams prosecuted. Andrew Laidlaw, gamekeeper, stated that at 10.30 in the morning while standing on Bushford Hill he saw two dogs—a. lurcher and a coUie—on land in the occupation of Mr Arthur Richards. The lurcher was coursing the neld and the collie was standing near the hedge. One man came on the top of the hedge and watched the dogs. He saw the collie run a rabbit to the hedge, and the man went into the neld. Then another man got on the top of the hedge. Witness then walked to the neld, which was a quarter of a mile away, and saw Albert Harries come out of the field, and Edward Harries was about twenty yards further on the road. The dogs were about twenty He accused Albert of trespassing, but he made no reply. Edward said he was looking for a colt. Witness asked him if he wanted a lurcher to look for colts, and he answered that the dog had followed him. The collie had blood upon it, and Edward's arm was covered with mad. There was fresh earth in the burrow in the neld as tliough it bad been dug by both men and dogs. They were on the laud 40 minutes. The father of the defendants had spoken to him, and said it was a paltry affair, and he had best leave it go. Defendant, Albert Harries, denied that he was in the neld, and declared that he was never off the high road. He did not see a rabbit, and only looked over the hedge to see if he could see the colt. Defendant's father said Edward, who did not appear, had missed the train from Milford. He denied that he had told the keeper that it was a paltry anair. and that he ought to let it pass. The rabbits had eaten three acres of his oats. He asked for the case to be adjourned so that Edward could come. Mr Williams contended that the case had been proved overwhelm tngly. Mr Carrow said the Bench would rather have the other defendant present, and the case would be ad- journed for a fortnight. HE HAD ALMOST FORGOTTEN. Mr R. T. P. Williams applied on behalf of Philip John, labourer, in the employ of Mr Llewellin, Long Lane, for a temporary transfer of the license of the Penry Anns, Portfield Gate. Supt. Francis (to applicant): Have you been fined for shebeening ? Applicant: I don't remember, sir. Supt. Francis For selling beer without a license ? Applicant (doubtfully): I think so, sir. Supt. Francis How much was the nne Applicant: .63, I think. Supt. Francis If I had been fined JE3 I should have remembered it. Mr Carrow Do you object, Mr Francis ? Supt. Francis Well, it is only right that you should know. Mr Williams: One thing can be said, and that is he it not likely to again sell beer without a license when he has got a license. (Laughter). You will have full con- trol over it when it comes up again in January. Mr Carrow said under these circumstances a temporary transfer would be granted, but they could not say what would be done in January. Mr Williams I quite understand that what you have done to-day does not bind you as to what shall be done in January. A LICENSE FOR STAGE PLAYS. The Vicar of St. Martin's applied for a license fcr the performance of stage plays in St. Martin's HaH, and the application was adjourned for a fortnight for two guarantors of .€100 each to be obtained.

I Margaretta Biggs was charged on remand with caosing grievous bodily harm upon Honora Conner under ctr- cumstances already reported. Mr W. J. Jones defended. Supt. Francis said he should have had Dr Wilson there who had been attending Mrs Conner, in the absence of Dr. Mills, but he had himself met with an accident !M< night, he was sorry to say. Mr Thomas We are very sorry to hear it. The Magistrates' Clerk: I spoke to Dr Wilaon on Thursday, and he told me he was quite sure Mr< Connor would not be able to appear here to-day. Snpt.

Mr James Moodie (Attendance Omcer) brought four summonses against George Bow!and Jones, for the irregular attendance of his four children at school. Only one had been at school since the issue of the laat moiis. The Mayor said the Bench considered that a very aerious case, and it was an ungrateful thing for any parent to keep four children at home. Defendant weald be fined 5s in each case. A similar summons was against George Carter, whose cMM had not put in any attendance since he was fined 5a m July. He had not passed any standard. The mother said the child had been refused admission to two schools by Mr Morgan and Mr Rees. The Attendance Officer said he had made enquiriea and found no truth in the assertion. The Mayor said this was a serious statement, and offered an adjournment to secure the attendance of the two schoolmasters, but the mother declined this onet. Fined os. A DISORDERLY HOUSE. Mary Ann Gannon, of Fountain B<w, Dew Street, was charged with keeping a brothel. P.O. Davies gave evidence in support of the charge, relating to &ix different dates in November and December, when he saw prostttutes and men visit the boaae. Defendant's husband wa< in prison, and only came oat last Saturday. There was nothing upstairs only a few rags. The men on every occasion were strangers to the town. The Mayor I am very glad to hear that. P.S. Parry corroborated the evidence relating to the 13th of December, and said it was the custom for the defendant and two prostitutes to meet the up-mail traina to Haverfordwest, and take the men up to house. P.S. Phillips also proved to six similar offences against defendant, extending from October to the end of Novem- ber. Defendant gave evidence. She denied the charges. She did not produce any witnesses, but said the neigh- bours would support her statement. Supt. Francis said the neighbours had made complaints of the manner in which she kept her house. He asked for the full penalty as it was time to put a stop to euch practices. The Mayor said the case had been proved up to the hilt. The Bench consulted for a few minutes, and the Mayor said the Bench considered the case had been proved &a conclusively as any case could be proved. They were determined that women like herself who harboured those unfortunate creatures should be punished severely. The sentence was .B10 penalty, or imprisonment for two months with hard labour.

Local FootbaH. RUGBY. HAVERFORDWEST v. TENBY SWIFTS. This match was played on the Bridge Meadow, Haver- fordwest, last Thursday in fine weather and in .he presence of a large crowd. The home team were as follows :—Full back, L. Evans; threequarters, T. Williams, J. Moss, Geo. Griniths, and J. W'Miams: halves, R. Bva.us, H. Joues; forward- H. Webb-Bown, Newton Jones, J. Ros&er, J. Job., i). Da vies, C. Davies, W. Llewellip, and Geo. Harries.. Referee, Mr Davies, W.F.U., Pembroke Dock. The home team kicked off down the field with a strong suu in their faces. Tenby pressed for a while, until the home forwards with a splendid passing bout came well down the field where from a line out they again got going and Newton Jones receive fr fr-- T. Jon made a me uue. 'pH1 forced his way over in the comer with two on to him. The kick at goal failed. This was all the scoring up to half time. On the restart the homesters soon got to work, and & scrimmage being formed in the visitors 25, the forwards sent out the ball, and Jones receiving gave up to R. Evans who crossed with a pretty try which also remained unconverted. Soon after the drop out George Griffiths made a mark and kicked to the right wing, the Tcnby full back fielded, but C. Davies charged down the kick and Newton Jones picking up made off splendidly and after drawing his opponents to the right gave up to his namesake on the left, he in turn giving up to Rosaer, who crossed with several hanging on to him. This also remained unconverted. The whistle soon went leaving the score. Haverfordwest 3 tries, 2 minors Teuby Swifts nil. The Tenby Swifts wi!I probably remember their tnp to Hiverfordwest as in addition to the tries scored agamat them, it was generally conceded that they were very lucky to get off without another three against them. The most pleasant feature of the match was to see the splendid combination between R. Evans and H. JODeaat half, and it can bafely be said that they never played <t. better game. There was also a distinct improvement !a the threequarter line. L. Evans, who substituted Gamblo at full back, played well and never made a mistake. The forwards were rather badly handicapped as one <f their strongest scrimmagers (LleweIHn) had the mis- fortune to hurt one of his ribs soon after the start. In addition to this there were two palpable "wingera"in the pack whom it did not take a very experienced eye to detect. Rosser and Newton Jones were undoubtedly two of the best forwards on the neld as wherever the batt was they were on it, and the passing bout between them and Henry Jones, when Rosser scored was undoubtedly the "tit-bit "of the match. The all conquering Swansea A team will visit the town on Boxing Day, and we are assured of a great game. We regret to hear that Newton Jones and Llewellin are not fit for this match, as their weight and dash would be invaluable on this occasion, but we trust that they will both see their way clear to accompany the team for their more serious engagement on the following day when the 'Quins meet the redoubtable All Whites on their own ground at Swansea. Mr S. J. Alien photographed the team prior to last Thursday's match, and we are now anxiously awaiting to see their sweet faces."
