As there a a pretty long programme to go through 1 will only jost explain how they stind as to money mat- ters. They commenced in March last year; it is not yet a year old. I feel enre thev will surprise us with the progress tbey have mede in so short a time; it speaks well of the teacher and pupils. The instruments cost tl35 3q; they have received by subscriptions JE35 17s 6d; the proceeds of a oon- oert bpld In May last amounted to E9 1416-1 and the mershera' weekly Instalments amount to the handsome enm of iC39 lis 6d these, together with £1 2s 6it in hand, come to £ 86 5s 6d. They still want £48 17s 6d. and I trust this sum will soon he made up. \ny friends wishing to subscribe, the secretary (Mr Thomas Jones, junior, 11, South- parade), or Mr Edwards, junior. Pennant House, treasurer, or any other member of the band, will he very glad to receive the same, as they are most anxious to get out of debt. They believe in the old saying, Co out of debt out of danger." These young men are very deserving of our sympathy and sup- port, altboagh they are engaged in their different occupations during the day. They devote their evenings io praotising this noble and elevating art otmupio. I do not see wby tbey ehould not beoome efficient musicians, as Wales has always been noted for its singers. It is called" Owlad y ga»," but lacking in instrumental music; that is to be sooounted for, I think, by the want of instructors. Why should not Wales be noted for its orohestral mnsio with the St. Tadno Brass Band to the fore ? Trusting thigappesl will not be in vain. They are not at all proud; they will gladly reoeive the smallest contribution; 6d or a Is or even a B5 note would not be refused. Now those yonne men naturally take after their elders; that is they no sooner get out of one debt than they get into another- Talu yr hen a ohyrohu'rnewydd "—they want to appear In uniform. I for one would be pleased to i ive my mite towards that obi-at when they are olear of this debt. Now I will oall npon the band to play The brave Engllabmln" (loud applause).

He was of opinion tbat the Tithe Act of 1891, while altering the procedure by which the tithe rent-charge and rates thereon aooruing due under the operation ot the Act may be recovered, does not defeat the right of the owner of the land who has been compelled by the order of the former Act to allow his tenants a sum in respect to rates aooruiog due before the Act of 1891 earns to opera- tion,whioh they bad been obliged to pay todeduot the amount which was allowed by him io respect to such rates from tue tithe rent-charge scorning due after the coming into operation of the Act. There- fore, be ruled that the respondent in that osss, having duly allowed the tenant JE30 in respeot to arres- of- rabbe of tke tithe rent due on the 26th Maroh, 1892, and having produoed the overseer's reoeipts for the same, io entitled to deduct the 230 from the tithe rent-charge. The applicant is, there- fore, entitled to an order to-day. He also held that his judgment applied to the coie of Roberts v. Cooke. He would not allow costa on either side. ACTION AGATNBT A non FOR DISTRAINING COSTS. The Rev. John Williams, vioar of Llangadwaladr, was sued by O. D. Phillips, Ruthin, for the reoovery of £49 odd, expenses inourred by the applioant in distrsining for tithe in the parish of Llangadwahdr.—Mr Owen, Aberystwyth, appeared for the defendant, and Mr F. LI Jones, B.A., Denbigh, tor the plaintiff.The Plaintiff detailed the oircutrfttanoes of the oase, and said an agree- ment was oome to that he should have the titbe if he could extraot it from the farmers. He dis- trained on some hay, and it failed to realies the oost of osrrlage, &o., and bad a great deal of trouble with the oase. The charge was for hire of horse, workmen &0.- Tbe Defendant contended tbat the charge was exorbitant.-The Judge reserved his judgment.

ST. ASAPH. PBXHBOBB LIAOUB MBBTINO.—The annual meeting of tbe St. Asaph Habitation was held on Thursday evening in the Infants' Schoolroom, St. Asaph. Prior to the meeting tea was partaken of by at least 400 persons. This, together with the cake, Ac., was supplied by Messrs JoneB and Sons, Liverpool House, and, it is hardly neoessary to rehte, was thoroughly enjoyed. The business part of the proceedings oommenced at seven o'clock. Lieut.-Colonel Hore presided, supported bv Mr Finebam (provincial secretary for North Wales) and Mr Croston (Mancheeter),-OD the motion of Mr T. Howes Roberts, seconded by Mr Joseph Webster, the meeting unanimously adopted Mr P. P. Pennant ae the candidate to represent Walee on the Grand Counoil in London,—Mr Finobam, having congratulated the members of the habitation upon their excellent organisation, proceeded to review the progress made by the Primrose League since its formation ten years ago. At th9 prfeet time they bad something like 1,100,000 members (applause). Mr Croston, of Manohes'er, alio delivered an eloquent speeoh advocating tbe prin- ciple of the League. Referring to the declaration made by tbem to uphold religion as opposed to atheism and infidelity, the speaker said tbat they found in tbe House of Commons, even in the ranks of Her Majesty's Government at the present moment, men who scoffed at the very name of religion. Alter referring to the disappointment of the Liberal Government when they failed to obtain a majority except by means of the Irish members, and the unsatisfactory state of affairs even now on their advent to power. The present difficulties in Egypt, had only b. an averted by tha act of Lord Rosebery in carrying out what in reality was the Conservative policy. The speaker predioted that Home Rnia would never be oarried is the ooming session. He also defended the Chnrcb in Wales against the charge of being an alien Cbnreb, and qaoted from the history of the St. Asaph Diocese, to ebow who were really the founders of the Church in Wales.-Votes of thanks to the speakers and the chairman oonoluded the proceedings. CITY CHIT-CHAT. Tbe detiberttioM of onr local Poor Law represen- tatives continue to grow more amoøin every fort- night. At the last meeting some considerh'e time was taken up in ventila.in wbt appeared to be a"onymons reports rRpecting the conduct of the sohoolmaajer and schoolmistress, who wf-re alleged to have neglected their duty in seeing the ohildren tob.d. The schoolmaiter was tattherobavged with another piece ofiddiscration-onmeof theguardians thought this a mont ontrageons thillg-nam-ly, that of allowing his wife to visit him at tbe Workhouse. Soma time ago, the Board passed. a somewhat arbitrary resolution to the effect that as this young couple bad taken it into their heads to get married without first obtaining the permission of the Board they mllat praotically be separated. However, it appears tbat notwithstand- ing this the young bride has been continually visit- ibg her" hubby." At Chrietmab she even stopped in tbe house five days. Then the band oommenced to play. Several members, wbo are the fortunate possessors (?) of extremely melodious voices, said it was about time that this sort of thing should be pot a stop to. It was aot right that tbe resolutions of the Board should be set at d-fi-noo, Sco. The schoolmaster appeared before the Biard. and, in answer to a cross-examination worthy of a" Queen's Counsel," admitted that his wife had come to aoe bim onoe a week, but as that was the only occasion when they had a chanoe of seeing sich other, he hoped the members would be kind enough to give him permission to visit her twice a wsek. It was al.o true that she had had her meals in the bouse, but he bad paid for them. At leagth several of the Guardians discovered that matters were begin- ning to appear rather rid'culoua, and one gentleman remarked that they were too hard upon the schoolmaster, and another member creat- ing some fun by expressing bisaurprise that married men should talk like that. After a storm ia a tea- cap it was deoided to grant the young fellow two nights a week to see his wife. This was a fair arrangement, and it is to be hoped that we have beard the last of this vexed question. Regarding tbe allegation against Miss Hughes, the scbool- mistress, the Master said she had admitted being somewhat oareless, but had promised to be more careful in the future. Some extraordinary faots were discassed last Friday night at a vestry meeting held for the pur- pose of taking into consideration tbe state of the pansh graveyard. The disclosures border almost upon a scandal, and the authorities have decided, not a moment too soon, to remedy this sta'e of things at onoe. The Rev. Ben- jamin Hughes said the bnrial ground was in a shooking condition, the coffins having on more than one occasion been seen floating in the water. Mr Robert Davies having ouige-ted that he should ask the Sanitary Authority to allow their engineer. Mr Bell, to survey the ground, and report to another meeting this was agreed to, and the Vestry was adjourned. Saving received an introduction from a promi- nent member of the committee, I proceeded to St. A'apb on Saturday evening, to witness the "optnioll" of the new billiard table, which has just been put Jown in the new Constitutional Clabroom. This time "Sarksstic" (R. J.) did not accompany me; he wan at » prayer meeting. Having plenty of time before the Cathedral clock would ohime the boar of seven. I called at the Post Office, and purchased a half-penny stamp. I also inquired ot the oharming young lady behind the counter whether they would make a reduction if I took a shilling's worth. With a pretty blosh, the fair damsel said a:\8 didn't know, but would make inquiries. It bad to be content with tbis, and,after a few immaterial observations I departed for the olab. It WM not quite seres when I arrived, and some half-dozen gentlemen were assembled in the billiard-room talking over the evening match. This, I I discovered, WM to be between Mr Heffenstall, of the Registry Office, and Mr F. Birley, J.P., The Mount. At this moment, Mr Joseph Webster entered the room armed with a monster flat iron. This he proceeded to heat by the fire, and then, taking off his oost, he commenced to iron the table. "How much an boar 1" remarked one member faoetioia-ly. Come on, now, take yer coat off and help," observed "Joey." The 11 face- tious 11 gentleman (W. W.) at once oomplied, and taking up a duster started to polish the ledges. Having walked about two miles round the table, Joseph laid aside his iron, and prooeeded to chalk the table with an air of rye done it before mans time." Patting the finishing tonohes on, and brushing away imaginary specks of ohalk off the cloth, Joey ooicplaoently looked at the result of his efforts. He then retired, ana soon after entered accompanied by Mr Birley, tbe latter being greeted with a oheer. W berets -t who'N going to beat me ?" the gentleman inquired. Mr Heffenstall approaohed the "obampion," and in a modest tons answered" Here am I (laughter from the fireplaca). How many are you going to give me ?" I think the boot's on the other leg, sir" replied Mr Heffenetall. However, it was deoided to play 250. and the game started. I had been told that Mr Heffenstall was the favourite, and much the better player, but after a few atrokes it oould be seen that thi3 gentleman was decidedly off," whilst his opponent was in graud form. Joey officiated M marker, and held the rest with a well, be looked very mnoh like the real artiole. The game was well- contested all throngh, but, Birley from tbe firet rushed sbead, and maintained his lead. 11 Forty- eight," Ninety-seven," shouted the marker. The break of the evening was now made by the J.P., who succeeded in getting 33 by some exceedingly smart strokes. Fifteen out of this number was obtaining by "potting" the red five times in succession this little manoeuvre being roundly applauded. The obampion "then Railed away in grand styl«>, the score being 53, 143. Mr Heffen- stall made two good breaks of 18 aid 19, and soored some fifty odd to his opponent's thirty. The game was now 101, 187. It was evident that Heffenstall was nervous, and at eight o'clock an interesting match wu won by Mr Birley, the aoore being Birley, 250 Heffenstall, 169. I left at this point, and went home.

ANGLESEY WORKING GUILD. [TO THR FDITOR.) gin,-&a there are several inaccuraoiea in the report which appeared in your last papor of the meeting of the Anglesey Working Guild which was held at B«on Hill ou Monday, tbe 23fd, pecans yon will kindly allow me to correct them now. The Guild in question was founded by Lady Magdalen Bulkeley some six years ago for the oharitable purpose of helping aa much as poeoible the deserving poor in Anglesey ladies resident in the varions parishes were a,.ked to make, for the benefit 01 the Gaild, not less than two articles of useful clothing twice a year, and to contribute one shilling annually towards a blanket fund. These were sent to Baron Hill, and then forwarded by Lady Magdalen BulkeVy to the el. rgy of the varions parishes for distribution among the poor, irrespective 01 their religious views. The movement was a decided suooess and assumed large dimensions, and it was tbooght advisable to place the administration upon a broader basis, and 80 to extend its usefulness, and it was to discuss this proposal that the meeting was oalled on Monday, the 23rd. A very great number of ladies met in the large ball at Baron Hill, and Sir K. Bulkeley, after thanking those present for having S1 kindly attended, probably at considerable personal inconveuience, prooeeded to give an acoount of the formation and working of the Onild, from which it appeared that since the year 1890 no less than 2000 articles of warm and useful clothing had been distributed in the island, and at the last distribution at rhris ma- 500 had been given away in addition to 80 blankets. The number of the working and subscribing members of the guild is at present 142. It was then propoBsd to elect a president, two vice-presidents, and a oommittee of nine ladies who would have the management of the Gaild, and would appoint district presidents in the varions centres, who again woald have a certain number of assooiatss to assist them in their good work. Lady Magdalen Bulkeley was unanimously elected president, and Mrs Hampton Lewie and Mrs Marshall were nominated as vice presidents. The following ladies were erected on the committee with power to add to their number :-Lady Vivian, Mrs Lloyd, Mre Clegg, Mra Burtou. Mrs Orme, Mrs Kvffin, Mrs Thomas, Miss Massey and Miss Denton. The proceed.ugs terminated with a most cordial and well deserved vote of thanks to Lady Mrgdalen Bnlkeley for the deep interest she had always taken in the success of that Guild which she, in the kind. ness of her heart, had established for the benefit of the poor bf the county in which she had made her bome. It oannot be too widely known how much real good this guild has done in Anglesey, and how many poor i f?mitiea have been gladened by the receipt of its doles from time to time, and it is sincerely to b' hoped it will reoeive the support it on inctlv deserves.—I am. &0..

THE CARNARVON COUNTY COUNCIL AND THE NORTH WALES COUNTIES LUNATIC ASYLUM. [Ta THB EBMOB.] Srn,-The County Counoil make claim to patent a new discovery, and we, the ratepayers are wander- ing in the fog their processes baa thrown out. It is seldom I am moved to reoord a grateful appre- ciation of the services Mr Gee is so eminently qualified to render, bat in South Carnarvon- ahire every ratepayer will tender to him hia acknowledgments for the chance of a olearer and sounder judgment prnailiog at the forthcoming moo, inROf our Council. Whether tbose unhappily afflioted amongst us or in the Conway district have to travel to Denbigh or to Carnarvon will not sensibly disturb their comfort or health, and it dofg not admit of dispute that in an old establishment, with a staff of experienced dootora and trained nurses, and with all tbe applianoes whioh tbe past years and the col- lective and personal devotion of the visitors and their advisers have suggested, they will not be in better keeping and with greater comforts than in a brand new establishment on the banks of the Menai. No oounlios oonld b "ulded by more able men than Merionethshire and ABglesey command in Mr Pope, Q C, and Mr Clegg, and these counties after a momentary hesitation occasioned by the fo4 our people bad evolved, stiok staunchly to f0? t: car It is not suggested that our patients at Denbigh have not at all times received every attention and advice which a competent snsoialist oonid tabulate in rules or personally "Pelli ido, And from a perusal of Sir Horace Oavey'a opinMC-Md it .ounda indiatinotly as to whether tlrs county can retire from the union, but if it can -this much is clear, that its possible claim out of the oapital outlay, and if any) from the subsorip. tionp,after all th" disbursements as to oosts and other obargea and expensf s have been discharged, can aeem but* were trifle. Will it reach even £ 3000 ? But whatever it may come to, let ns have it aBoertainea approximately by a competent valuer before any decision is come to. And the next inquiries are (1) What, it we remiiu in the union, must be onr con. tribution towards the enlargement of the present Asylum; and (2) What it we retire from the nnion, will the suggested new establishment on the banks of the Menai oost for site, bailding, furbishing, and eqiipping with all the appliances and resources which modern scienoe prescribes, and otherwise so as to comply with the requirements of the Lunacy Commissioners? Of course, we are promised a nnmber of well-paying patients, bat oan we build up a superstructure of obligations on the baoks of the tenant farmera in these diatresBing times upon suoh a rope of sand ? As to oharges in respeot of maintenance, staff, and other expenditures in the new establishment, falling under the head of annual outgoings, they must run up to at least one- third as Much a-gain as onr annual payment to the union on possibly reach, and if our oapital investment in relation to the enlargement of the Asylnm will not be amply secured by the provi- sions expressed in the statutes and by that joint and several community of interest personal to the other members of tho union, a clsnse in a publio Act or a printe Bill can supply the ina- dequaey. However, thus mncb all will admit, that, upon such representations all have so far been vouobsafed tons, to retire from an anion which has for so many years been of signal service to every member thereof manifests a dieeoortesy and an ungraciousness which is not to be commended.—I am, Sco., am, dfco., R.

BANGOB SCHOOL BOAST.. A meeting of the Bangor School Board was held on Monday evening at St. Paul's Schools, nnder the presidenoy of Principal Prioe, and there were also present: Professor Reginald Phillips, Dr, Bichard Jones, Mr Robert Roberta, Mr W. P. Matthews, Mr Lloyd Jones, and Mr Charles Pozsi; the Deputy Clerk (Mr Downes), and the Attendance Officer (Mr W. O. Jones). SCHOOL ATTBMDAMOB. I Mr W. C. JONBS reported that the attendance during the past month had, notwithstanding the exceptionally severe weather, the occurrence of the Christmas holidsys, and the prevalence-of ill- ness arising from oolde, etc., been fairly good. Absentees, numbering 523 from the various sohools of the distrioc, had been personally inquired alter during the month. Of the cases deferred at the last meeting of the Borfrd none had been recom- mended by the teaobers to be brought before the magistrates. Sixteen persons bad been summoned to appear before the committee for the irregularity of their children's attendance during the past month. SCALE Of BALABIBS.

He thought it was most desirable that they shonld secure a uniform plan. Dr. JONBe thought their teaohera were very badly paid. The CHiiBM&K said salaries had risen very much during the last four or five years all over the oountry. Mr MATTHKWS agreed that it was neoessary to re-arrange their existing system. Mr R. ROBKBTS thoaght where the attainments of women were equal to those of men they should pay the same amonnt to the former as the latter. It was agreed to hold an adjourned meeting of the Biard iu order to farther disouss the aODem" submit- ted by Profeepor Phillips. GUTS SCHOOL. Professor PHILLIPS said he and Mr Roberts visited the Garth Schools on Saturday. They suggested to the taaohers, and the teaobers agreed with them, that the prizis should be presented in January instead of May. Tbey conferred with the teachers of the sohools, and found that it would be inoon- venient to have actual examinations evory three months in all subjects becanse some of tn. subjeots did not oome op every month. PUPIL TRACBBRB AT OLINADDA. Dr. RioHiaD JONBS oalled attention to the neces- sity of constructing a day-room for pupil teachers at Glanadda, remarking thit the existing arrange- ment was most unsatisfactory. Tha managers of the school were asked to look into the matter. BABBBD WIBB3. I Professor PHILLIP* drew attention to existence of barbed wires in the fenoe running along the right hand side of the road leading to Rt. Paul's Sohool- room. Supposing a child received an injury, the Board would, very naturally, be blamed by the publio. The fenoe was there, aud they could not alter human nature, and ohildren would go over even if the teachers told them every day the risks tbat they ran. Dr. RICHABD JONBS also spoke of the danger of the barbed wires. It was resolved that the fence referred to should be properly proteoted. AS INCBBASB OF SALARY JOB TH. CLBBX. A letter was read from Mr Richard Oray, cieric to the Board, asking for an increase of salary on the grouad that the duties connected with the office bad greatly inoreased during tbe last few years. The CHAUMAN What do we pay Mr Gray nowt Mr Dowwss (deputy oerk): Thirty-five pounds. The CHAIRICAN There is no doubt that there is r. great deal of work to be done. Mr LLOYD Jolfga: The work bas been increasing. Mr MATTHKWS I tbink JE35 is a ridiculous sum to pav our olerk. Dr. RICHABD J ona I think most of our officers are underpaid. The CBAIBUAIT I think we are agreed that the salary is very inadequate. Mr MATTHBWS I think we ought to give him iSO. I think the poition is worth 2103. Dr. JONBS But we must keep down the rates.. Mr MATTHRWB Bat seriously, gentlemen, I think we ougtht to pay our olerk £5(t a year. Mr LLOYD JONIR proposed that they inoreasa the salary by 210 per annum. Dr. JONIIB seconded the motion, observing that he thought £50 per annum a very reasonable amonnt. Mr ROBBBT RoBiorTs I think M was the amount originally paid, and then it was reduced by ooasent to E40. It was eventually unanimously agreed that Mr Gray shonld be paid iC50 per annum. TUB BiBLB AB A TKXT BOOK IN B010 SCHOOLS. Mr ROBBBT RORSBTS called attention to a resolu- tion arrived at by the Board eome year* ago when it was determined, on the motion of Mr Pri, seconded by Mr Griffith Robert.: That in addition to the religi us exeroise already in force in the schools tbat the fourth nd higher standards divided into two sections use the Bible as a text book on alternate days, the teaoher to give saoh analysis as he can to elaoidate the psssage read." Mr Roberts said he wished to know whether that resolution had been carri-d out. The CHAIKHAN I don't think it has been earned outform "iy bat virtually. Mr ROBSBTS Bibles have been bought and sent to these schools. Dr. Joumg Whose fault is it t Professor PHILLIPS Mr Robert Roberta was vioe-chairman at the time 1110 laugh). The matter dropped.

LLANDUDNO'S l. GIWm OLD XAH" TO BE WAMELY WELCOIOD OM. We are exceedingly glad to hear,, and are confident in st,tinit that the inhab¡ta..h of Llandudno en matte will be equally pleased to learn, that Dr. James Ni.-ol, J P., is to have a public welcome when he returns- home from Monte Carlo. For some months before leaving Warwick Bouse, Llandudno, tor tne South of France, Dr. Nicoi was in a critioal at.te of health, which at his advanced age gave riae to fears tor his recovery. It a higaly satisfactory to learn, however, that the iloocut has benefited by chsnge of ciirntote, and it is earnestly h )ped and believed that he wttt return fcoKoith Walea restored to something like his tormat health. In view of what is intended to take place when Dr. Nicol arrives, it would be bottl premature and superfluous tor us to dilate apoD. what he has done for LImdudno during the p«t thirty years. It is sufficient to say that tw has been to the fore in every movement for the welfare or the town of his ado^t on whilst la's efforts in the newspaper Press and in. panapt,lat form 1ø- make kaowu the advantages of our winter, climate far and wide deserve every recognition at the hands of his felluw-tow^neo. The welcome home movement is still in the preliminary stage, but we believe that it is. intended to hold a pnhlic banquet at whitit aD. address of welcome will be presented Since writing the nbova we unuerstaad thai Mr T. T. Mark, C.E., who was the originator of the movement, calle I meeting at his ofice yesterday afternoon (Wednesiay) te torm a Committee in order to oat a public meeting to decide the beet way to carry out the propoaed Welcome Home" to be given to the worthy doctor.
