Immediate Issue of a NEW AND THOROUGHLY REVISED Edition of CASSJELISS POPULAR EDUCATOR IN Sixpenny Monthly Parts. Cassell's Popular Educator Embodies a Comprehensive SYSTEM OF SELF EDUCATION Within the Means and Capacity of AIL What will he yW become? The Right Hon. ROBERT LoWE (now Lord SHER- BROOKE) a few years ago, in his speech on Education at Halifax Mechanics' Institute, said If you give a child instruction, you have given "him the potentiality of possessing any amount of "knowledge he pleases. Another thing I will men- "tion for the benefit of those young men who are wishful to possess that amount of knowledge-one "or two excellent books, which, if they would read would place them in a position, and give them an intelligent power of judging of the world and the things around them superior to that of many honourable and other gentlemen with whom "I am acquainted. NOW, THE FIRST "BOOK WfflCH I WILL RECOMMEND IS •' CASSELL'S EDUCATOR. A man who has "read, and thoroughly knows the contents of tMe, is a man who will understand the greatest "part of what 18 going on around him, which is "a great deal more than can be said of the best "Greek or Latin scholar, or even the accom- "plished lawyer."

BURIAL BOARD.—An adjourned meeting of. this Board was held on Tuesday last, at the Council Chamber, when the following members were pre- sent-Messrs. T. Davies (chairman), James Wil- liams, O. P.

On the motion of Mr. James Williams, Mr. T. Davies was re-elected chairman. Messrs. Asa and Ivor Evans, the clerks to the Board, resigned office. The Chair- man regretted the course taken by the Clerks as their services had been very valuable, and he pro- posed a vote of thanks to them which was entered in the minute book. On the application of Mrs. Wright, the sum of 10s. more was granted her in consideration of the services of her late husband. It was resolved to consider, at the next meeting, the amount of salary offered to the clerk, and to ask the approval of the Vestry to a fixed salary. Also, to consider the desirability of appointing a gravedigger and cemetery keeper.

BOROUGH PETTY SESSIONS.
BOROUGH PETTY SESSIONS. MITCHELL AGAINST DAVIES AND MORRIS. On Monday last, before Messrs. Lewis Evans (Mayor), R. D. Jenkins, and Thos. Davies.—Anne Mitchell, Finch's-square, charged John Davies, haulier, Pwllhay, and Thomas Morris, smith, Strand, with maliciously and wilfully damaging a door at Pwllhay, to the amount of 7s. 6d., on the 7th inst. Mr. W. W. Mitchell appeared for complainant, and Mr. 'W. W. Smith appeared for defendant. From the evidence it appeared that John Davies, one of the defendants, had rented a stable from Mrs. Smith, who is a next door neighbour to Mr. Mitchell, and who has a common right to the door in question, which is a back entrance to the premises. Having rented the stable, John Davies took the liberty of remov- ing the bolt and clasp which were attached to the door, and could only be used from the inside, and replaced them by a lock which could be used from the outside, so as to enable him to have ingress to the stable whenever he wished. The complainant objected to defendant doing this, contending that the door was a private one, and had never been intended, nor used otherwise. Thomas Morris, the other defendant, had assisted Davies in remov- ing the bolt and clasp by holding a candle. The complainant produced a deed showing that he was the owner of his house, and that the door be- longed as much to him as to the owner of the ad- joining house. Several witnesses were examined for complainant. For the defence Mr. Smith contended that, inasmuch as his mother (Mrs. Smith) had sub-let the stable to defendant Davies, he had a common right to the door in question, that being the only means of access to the said stable, and that he also had right to put a lock on the door as he gave a duplicate key to com- plainant. He contended that the court had no jurisdiction in the matter. The deed he produced gave the defendant Davies a right of way to the stable as a sub-tenant. The Bench decided that they had no jurisdic- tion in the matter; but they were of opinion that the door in question had never been intended to open otherwise than from the inside. The com- plainant, if he chose, could have his remedy in another court, by proceeding against the adjoin- ing owner. No costs would be granted. Mr. Mitchell applied that the defendant John Davies should be bound over to keep the peace, as he had threatened to enter the premises whenever he liked. Complainant was in bodily fear of him. The Bench said that they must first have a sworn information, and that then they would con- sider the question. Mr. Mitchell said that he would do that forth- with, and submit to their worships.
CARDIGAN TOWN COUNCIL.
CARDIGAN TOWN COUNCIL. A meeting of the Council was held on Thurs- day last, when the following were present-The Mayor, Aldermen Jenkins and Evans, Councillors James Williams, R. E. Rees, J. H. Miles, Joseph Rees, Rev. W. Jones, and Dr. Phillips. The Mayor said that complaints were made that the supply of water in the town was not so gen- eral as it used to be. He had sent Thomas Evans up to the source, and he reported that he was of opinion that the sand had gathered around the pipe, and the water percolated behind the pipe, and was lost. A committee was told off to rem- edy the defect. THE BOROUGH ESTIMATES. Mr. W. Picton Evans brought up the report of the Committee appointed to consider the question, which was as follows 1 "It would appear from the banker's book that there is a balance due to the Bank at the present time of JE663 19s. 6d. In addition to this balance I find that the following sums have been wrong- fully credited to the current account of the Cor- poration, namely- Ifr. Henry Griffiths. Purchase Money jgtM Deposit on account of Dr. Mitchell's purchase £200 j6351 These two sums should have been kept separate, as they will ultimately have to be paid over to the mortgagee in further reduction of his mortgage. By taking these sums out of the current account the adverse balance of £663 19s. 6d. will be in- creased to JE1014 19s. 6d., and the question for consideration is, how is this balance of dE1014 19s. 6d. is to be provided for and wiped out., This large adverse balance is attributable to the fact that the expenses incurred in the improve- ment of the Water Works, amounting in the ag- gregate to £714, have been charged on, and paid out of the current account at the bank. "If this had not been done, instead of an ad- verse balance, there would have been a balance of 9Z0 standing to the credit of the corporation at the present time. "By section 70 of the Local Act power was given to the corporation to raise an additional sum of £ 3000, and to charge the same upon the Im- provement Rate, and I assume that under this section the moneys from Mr. James Evans and Mr. Levi James were borrowed. This section, how- ever, has been repealed by article 1 of the Pro- visional Order, I except so far as the same shall have been acted upon.' It has been suggested that this sum of £ 714 should be taken out of the banker's current ac- count and set aside as a debt upon the Water Rate, but since the repeal of section 70, I do not see how this can be done, as such a debt could not be said to be a charge' at the time of the granting of the Provisional Order, and therefore not within the exemption referred to by article 1. u I would advise that this sum of JE714 should be allowed to remain in the current account, and the balance of j61014 19s. 6d. only dealt with. A General District Rate was made on the lsfl November last, which is estimated to realise in cash, say £ 720. A Water Rate was made in July last, £ 80 of which has already been collected and {>aia into the Bank, leaving a balance to be col- ected of" say £ 70— £ 790. This money, it is be- lieved, will-all be collected in by the 1st of March next tthemuDicipal year), and I therefore think the better plan will be to allow this £ 790 to be paid into the bank in reduction of the debt of £1014198. 6d., and that the' balance which will afterwards remain still due to the bank should be provided for in the estimates for the future Gen- eral District Rates. < All rents due prior to the 1st of Vt-ptember last, and not yet received, should also be paid into the bank in further reduction of the balance. In the'future there should be three distinct accounts kept at the Bank, namely :—(1st) The tolls, &c. account (2nd) the general District Rate account; (3rd) the Borough Fund account. The toll account should at once be opened and credited (when received) with all tolls, rents, &c., accrued, due, and to be received, between the 1st September, 1880, and the 31st August, 1881. The District Rate account should be opened as SOON as the next District Rate is made, and all sums received in respect of this rate credited to this account. The Borough Fund account should be opened as soon as the, precept fQr the Borough Rate is issued, and the fund credited with the amount of such precept when the same is paid. As soon as these accounts are opened the Cor- poration will only have to be careful when draw- ing, cheques that they draw them upon the proper account, and if this is done, I think the Corpora- tion accounts in the future will be perfectly clear to all. An estimate of the receipts AND expenditure in the three accounts was also given. It was resolved to adopt this estimate, and that it form thefasis of future rates. ALDERMAN JENKINS AND MR. WOODWARD. AM £ rman Jenkins said that in his absence at the last meeting of the Council, Mr. Woodward had replied to the remarks he made. In the face of all that had been said, he maintained that the public buildings did not cost more than jE5500, including cleric of works' fees, which he did not include RA his first statement. He was very wish- ful that a committee should be told off to go through the books with him, so that all might be satisfied as to his statements. He repudiated with the greatest scorn the assertion ..tIAt. there was £ 2000 unaccounted for. No money had been paid otherwise than by cheques, signed by the Mayor and Town Clerk, and countersigned «Y the Trea- sured Those;cheques no doubt,were now in the bank. It was saia by Mr. Woodward that the people had to sell their birthright 'TFC.order to pay for the outlay on the public buildings. It was a very unpleasant thing to be told that A birthright I had been taken from anybody; but this was not the case. The land had not belonged to the town until recent years, when it was conceded to it by the lord of the manor, landowners, and freemen, the majority of the latter not being townsmen. By the selling of the Commons the improvements were brought about in the town. The rents ob- tained from the Commons, when enclosed, was about;9100, but the present income of the borough is JMOO a year, and that in a permanent form, such as market-tolls, rent of Guild-hall, water rate, &c. So that the town had not suffered loss, but had gained a considerable income, which will shortly have the effect of lessening the rates. With respect to the Capel Pond, he thought the plans were those of Mr. Woodward. When his attention was called to the pond, he wrote to Mr. Miles, who replied that he was anxious that "a competent engineer should be consulted. He told Mr. Woodward so, and he threatened to throw everything up, but subsequently he said he would consult a friend of his who was an en- gineer, and there the matter ended. Mr. H. Miles The plans were made by a com- petent engineer, and the pond was inspected by a Government Inspector, who was to report thereon and certify it, but before a second visit had been made by him. the pond bad broken. Alderman Evans hoped the matter would now subside, and that what had occurred would be a warning to future Mayors not to make such indis- creet speeches as was done by Mr. Woodward. All the accounts and vouchers he had examined he could say that they were correct, if otherwise, he would have reported them as such. TRE RESERVOIR SITE. It was resolved that the reservoir site should be forthwith transferred from Mr. James Williams to the Council, on the understanding that he was to have the overflow when it occurred. Mr. John Lewis gave notice that he would, at the next meeting, call attention to the working and management of the Clay Pit. It was resolved that the Council go in a body to open a bazaar on the 28th inst., in aid of the fund for the re-casting of one of the church bells.

That, on several mornings lately, some naughty s bty little boys, all armed with kettle-arums and fifes, have made a horrid noise. That, instead of kicking up a row, enough to raise the dead, they all should have their b-ms whipped and be packed off to bed. That the Red Lion Stable National School Church and Sail Loft Juvenile Fife and Drum Band" might have waited a little longer before commencing their Christmas waiting. That, if the other morning's performance was a fair specimen of the R.L.S.N.S.C.S.L.J.D.&F. Band's performance, the public will have to wait a considerable time before hearing anything LILRA music from it. That it is—to put it very mildly—exasperating to be awakened out of their first sleep to listen to a noise resembling the chorus of forty love lorn tom-cats and a hail-shower on a tin roof

HIGHER EDUCATION IN WALES. To the Editor of the CARDIGAN OBSERVER. DEAR SIR,-Kindly allow me, through the medium of your columns, to enquire whether the deputation that waited upon the Commissioners of Education, at Haverfordwest, informed them that the resolutions which they submitted were passed, not by a meeting of the inhabitants generally, but by a meeting composed of a few gentlemen privately invited by the Mayor ? The question, I think, is not without relevance, for the Govern- ment seeks the opinions—not of a few gentlemen who may assemble at a private meeting—but of the inhabitants generally, as such. To abstain from informing the Commissioners of the peculiar character of the meeting has, there- fore, a decided tendency to mislead them as to the amount of consideration certain suggestions should receive at their hands.—Yours truly, A SUPPORTER OF THE RATE.

OUR GLADSTONE AND BRIGHT.
OUR GLADSTONE AND BRIGHT. The heroes of Britain—though dead, unforgotten- The valiant who struggled with tyrants and kings; Look down from their mansions of rest in the heaven, And hail these two patriots, whose fame the world sings. My country My country the Rich are in armour To trample the Poor with merciless might! But, ah! the proud tyrants will meet with dis- honour, For we have protectors in Gladstone and Bright! Kosciusco of Poland! the brave Tell of Swiss- land The Hampden and Cromwell, of Britain, are dead But Freedom and Justice must live in our Island, Though trodden by lordlings and many a crowned head Our Bright and our Gladstone—unrivalled in story Their lives have devoted to Freedom and Right! And ages may roll yet their fame won't get hoary, The future will echo with—Gladstone and Bright. Their motto—the motto of all benefactors- Is "Justice to mankind, though kings and a' that, They honour the gentle but tell the oppressors, That he without gold is a man for a' that." Their lives have been laid on the altar of Freedom, The wrongs of mankind they endeavour to right! Despite the foul opponents-the nation's warm bosom, Endear the great names of Gladstone and Bright. Gunpowder and Glory," it grates on their ears- They hate to have valleys all deluged with gore The goddess of peace at their deeds sheds no tears The nations are happy with peace in full store. Reform and Retrenchment," the "cry" of the nation- Reform of vile systems unworthy of light; The wide world looks up to the two with emption, The ".Friends of the People," our Gladstone and Bright. And crowns are awaiting the "friends of the people," Not of the rubbish that tyrants have worn, Not to be given by Archy Churchsteeple," By no Turnerelli," but nations unborn Freedom and justice have made the material, 'Twill shine through the future with unclouded light! These have been faithful, their words have been real, And the nations will honour our Gladstone and Bright. May tyranny, slavery, and selfish oppression, Grow guilty and pale at the sound of their name I And oh! may these patriots—the pride of the nation- Guide on our old country to glory and fame. How dear to each Briton-the names Bright and Gladstone- The men who are fighting for Englishmen's right; And ages to come will resound in full union With cheers immortal for Gladstone and Bright.
