-ARCHDEACON HOWELL AT THEI…
ARCHDEACON HOWELL AT THE I CHURCH CONGRESS. ARCHDEACON HOWELL has been very much in evidence at the Church Congress. On Sunday evening, he preached in Norwich, Cathedral. On Monday, he addressed a Church Pastoral Aid meeting, and on Thursday gave an address on The Present Work of the Church in Wales." While the ARCHDEACON set fully before the Congress the progress made by the Church in Wales, he, as is his wont, did not spare the feelings of those good people who unwittingly do so much harm to the Church because they think that things are best left as they are, and Church Reform is a thing hateful to their ears. The ARCH- DEACON clearly perceives that the policy of laissez faire would prove a disastrous one. At the Church Pastoral Aid meeting, he said he was sometimes asked whether he thought the Welsh people were recoverable to the Church. His answer was that under God it depends largely upon the Church herself and her attitude towards the Welsh people." He was not a little afraid that Churchmen in England and Wales may be tempted by the results of the recent election to compose them- selves to sleep, as if all danger were over for all time. But nothing is more certain than that the attack on the Welsh Establishment will be renewed, and that with no less vigour and determination, With a great many of my countrymen the question of disestablishment is a religious question, and a Welshman is not easily daunted when his religion is concerned whethel it be right or wrong. But the ques- tion for us to consider now, is what use are Churchmen going to make of our present respite. This is a practical question, and should be looked at in a practical light. The lease has been renewed, but not uncon- ditionally, and the sooner the tenant looks to his covenant the better. Some there are who believe that the Disestablishment ques- tion is dead and buried, and who are already snoring away in a sense of happy security. But it should not be forgotten that the Unionist majority in Parliament is far in excess of their majority in the country, as is seen by a comparison of the number of votes given to the two parties at the recent election. Others there are who are in danger of wasting the present opportunity in academic schemes of impossible Church reform. Now do not misunderstand me. Reform we need, and some reform we must have, but I think there is some danger in our attempting and expect- j ing too much, and soof getting nothing at all." Archdeacon HOWELL is doing good service to those Churchmen who are just now living in a fool's paradise, and imagine that the Conserva- tive majority at the last election has made an end once for all of Disestablishment. They will find that, despite Tory reaction and schemes of Church reform, Disestablisliment is inevitable. An established Church cannot justify its existence so long as it can only claim a minority or even1 a small majority of the peoples of Great Britain.

GROOM, OF W HITCHURCH.- W e I regret to announce the death of one of the oldest inhabitants of Whitchurch, Mr Thomas Green, ¡' M.D., which took place on Monday afternoon. Dr. Groom, who was a member of an old Shrop- shire family, first began the study of medicine by becoming an apprentice to the late Mr Edward Gwynn, of Wem. He subsequently studied at Guy's and St. Thomas's Hospitals, and after passing the usual examinations, began practice in Whitchurch in 1834, and for many years he enjoyed the leading practice in the town and neighbourhood. In 1861 he was admitted an Honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, and lately he had retired from the more active duties of his profession. The de- ceased gentleman had endeared himself to a large circle of friends, by whom he was much esteemed, and his cheerful disposition and genial hospitality I will long be remembered. He would have been eighty-five years on November 21st. He was twice married, and-was a widower, but he leaves no family. He was an ardent sportsman. The funeral took place on Thursday at the Parish Church, the remains heing interred in the grave of his second wife. 0 Sin W. W. WYNN'S HOUNDS.—These hounds met on Friday at Worthenbury, when there was a fairly good company present, which included Sir Watkin, Sir Gresley Puleston, Mr O. Orm- rod, Pickhill Hall; Mr T. Johnson, Ty Brough- ton; Mr John and the Misses Howard, Broughton Hall; Mr Weaver, Castleton. Burton's Wood was first requisitioned, and then a move was made to Caerondal, which was found to be full of foxes, two of which essayed a run in the direction of Talarn Green, and got away Burton's Wood was again tried, but as the sceut was so bad nothing was done. A move was then made to Pool's Wood, where four foxes were soon seen making every effort to escape, but after a sharp skirmish, two of them were laid low. Emral Park was next visited, and when near the Old Hall the hounds were acain on the war-path. There is here a culvert which runs under the hall, and here he made his exit. The usual means were taken to oust him, which proved very successful, as both he and a brotheu- in-distress were dislodged to provide a most satisfactory meal for their pursuers. This con- cluded an excellent day's sport. On Monday the hounds met at the Red Hall Lane, near Overton. The Nant Limbres was first operated on, and proved good enough for a brace of foxes which were killed. At Lomax Wood, in close vicinity, no sooner were the hounds put in than eight or nine cubs were seen scudding about. Such a large number appearing at once, caused the attention of the hounds to be divided, with the result that with the exception of one all escaped. A good-going fox was found in Evans' Rough, which dashed away through Bishop's Wood, and then on to North Wood. From there it took the direction of the Mill Wood, and swinging round eventually disappeared in Lomax Wood. Another one was soon started at the Desk Wood, which, after dashing through Lion-lane, made for the Nant Limbres, where all trace of him was lost. Thus ended another capital day's sport, which began at 8 a.m. and did not finish until 3.30 p.m. On Tuesday a good portion of the day was spent at the Wyche" which is regarded by huntsmen as a very rough country, and where foxes are notorious for their siza and stamina. Among those present were Mrs Godsall, Captain Trotter, Mrs and Miss Ra=- botham, Ebral, Malpas Hon. George Gore Mr John and Misses Howard, Sir Watkin Wil- liams Wynn. There were plenty of cubs, and the hounds worked exceedingly well. Before the day's sport concluded three foxes and a badger were accounted for, and there was a capital run I of thirty minutes after an old fox. I

THE SCIENCE AXD Akt SCHOOL.-At a meeting of the committee of the Wrexham Science and Art School, held on Tuesday, there were present. Alderman Simon Jones in the cluir, Mrs R. H Done, Messrs W. Pierce, James Fraser, J. A. Chadwick, J. H. Swainson. and C. K. Benson. Mr Fuge, art master, and Mr Ashton Bradley, secretary. It was reported that the classes had been commenced. At those in machine con- struction and steam, the attendance had been satisfactory. Temporary arrangements had been made for holding the class iiJ chemistry at Grove Park School, and a letter was read from Mr W. R. Evans, clerk to the governors of the schools, stating that the application for the use of the school laboratory would be considered at the' next meeting of the governors. A letter was read from Mrs Palin, regretting her inability to be present, and asking that Dr. Palin's name should be removed from the rota for attendance at the classes, on the ground that he was unable q r Fu-e to attend regularly. Mr Fuge recommended that Mr J. Oswell Jones. who was fully qualified, should be appointed pupil teacher of the an classes, and subject to the appioval of the De- partment, he was so appointed on the motion of Mr Pierce, seconded by Mr Friser.-At the last meeting, Mr Chadwick moved for a return of the number of pupils attending the school, show ing whether they lived in the borough or outside The secretary stated that eighty-four pupil-- lived inside the borough, and sixty-four outside. Mr Chadwick said he thought the people outside the borough ought to pay something toward the ex- penses of the school. The borough ratepayers paid Eloo, and the County Council paid £100, and he considered that the outside district which iaeO the school should pay £ 100.—Mrs Done suggested that the fees for outside students might be increased. She did not consider it fair as at present.—Mr Benson said he had considered the question, but could not see how it was to be solved.—Mr Chadwick said he would not move in the matter at present. The Chairman informed the committee that Mrs Done had generously presented a plaster C'lst of a statue to the Art School, and he had much pleasure in proposing a hearty vote of thanks to Mrs Done for her gift, the example of which he hoped might be followed by others. (Hear, hear.)—Mr Benson, in seconding the vote. also hoped that Mrs Bone's gift might induce others to make similar offering; to the school. (Hear, hear.)—The vote kins carried, Mrs Done bowed her thanks.—This being the last meeting of the committee. Mr Benson moved a vote of thanks to the chairman. whc was heart and soul in the work, and had. despite his numerous public engagements, devoted much time to it. (Hear, hear.)—Mrs Done seconded the vote, which was carried.—Alderman Union Jones, in responding, said he reluctantly accepted the post of chairman in succession to the late Alderman John Jones. He had doue his best, but he regretted that his knowledge of science and art was such as not to allow him to do ao much as he should like. He was much interested in the work of the school because of the small amount of education he received when he was young, and therefore be wished that every facility should be afforded tl \e who resided in that important commercial and idustriii] district. He hoped that the new committee would be able to relieve him of the chairmanship.—The com- mittee then rose.—The first meeting after the long vacation of the art club connected with this school, was held on Thursday, when over sixty works were presented for criticism, all branches of art being represented, and of a high quality. Those worthy of special mention are a landscape foreground and a still life, by Miss F. Bolderstone, landscapes by Misses A. M. Dobell, F. Bolderstone, and Mr W. liarnett drapery studies by Misses F. Bolderstone, A. Simons, and Mr J. O. Jones were very good studies of skies by Mr J. O. Jones. were well treated. Heads from the life were not quite up to the usual standard, but are a portrait of members self. this being one of the subjects given, was far in advance of the rest. The sea- scapes, by Miss F. Bolderstone and Mr J. O. Jones, were good. Mr E. Harvey showed some capital original designs for decorative panels and stained glass, and Miss E. E. M. Jwaes. did well. In the modelling section. Mr W. H-innabv exhibited an excellent stud\ of a head from the life, and are by Miss F. Bolderston, was well treated in a decorative manner. In the elementary section of modelling Mr Joseph Finney showed a iiiont excellent study of an acanthus leaf. Flower drawings bv Miss F. Williams and Mr C. T. Barnes, also a drawing of fruit by Miss G. Jones were well thought out. The president, Mr W. Fuge, commended the members upon then efforts, for it was evident by the quantity and carefui work done that their love for art had not fallen off during the vacation, and also he was glad to find that the hints he had given them in passed criticisms were not wasted, as there was every pains taken to make use of them, as could be seen by the present work. ne also proposed that a Magazine Club should be started in the school, and that one should be written and illustrated by the students. These ideas were well received, and arrangements nrr now being made to carry them out.
