IMPROVEMENT OF THE TOWN. We have been requested to invite all who take an interest in the question of effecting improvements In the town, and form a fund for that purpose, to attend a meeting to be held at the Council Chamber on Wednesday evening next, when it is proposed to form a committee for the purpose of organising an Eisteddfod on a large scale, to be held in the town next summer, the surplus from which will be used for carrying out improvements that will be decided upon. It is to be hoped that as many as can make it convenient will attend, so that a strong and influential committee might be formed forthwith.

VICTORIA GARDEN-At a meeting of the Jubilee Committee, which has undertaken the responsibility of laYing-out the garden, held at the Council Chamber on Tuesday morning last, the tender of Mr Shaw, Swansea, for supplying plants and shrubs \Vas accepted. The amount was £36 7s 9d. TOWN COUNCIL.-A. committee meeting of the council was held on Tuesday last, at 6 p.m., for the purpose of carrying out the proposed improve- ments in connection with the Recreation Ground, the garden plots, and manure depot. After due consideration it was resolved to remove the manure depot to a spot near the top of the gardens, and make a road thereto from the highway a little above the Old Reservoir. It was also resolved to spend the money in hand in improving the hedges of the gardens and Recreation Ground, plant a row of trees along the side of the highway, and reduce the height of the hedges so as to make them suitable for planting quicks on top of them, so as to form a good and compact hedge all round the property. FATAL ACCIDENT. A serious accident occurred on Saturday on the turnpike road leading from Tregaron to Lampeter, about two miles from the latter place. It appears that four farmers were on their way home from a ram fair in a two. wheeled trap. They were William Jones, Cwm Thomas Davies, Penbank John Davies, Maery- forest; and Dd. Harries, Penlan the last-named being the driver. The horse was a little spirited, and in rounding a bend 0f the road just beyond Coedpark the dog-cart tripped over on its side, throwing all the occupants out. The driver fell on his head on a heap of stones on the roadside, and breathed his last before medical aid could be secured. The other occupantg of the vehicle, although severely shaken, were not seriously injured. Much sympathy is felt in the neighbour- hood for the widow and her four young children in their bereavement. EPPS'S COCOA.—GRATEFUL AND COMFORTING. —" By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful application of the fine properties of well-selected COCOA, Mr. Epps has provided for our breakfast and supper a delicately flavoured beverage which may save ua many heavy doctors' bills. It is by the judicious use of such articles of diet that a constitution may be gradually built up until strong plough to resist every tendency to disease. We may escape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified with pure blood and a properly nourished frame. Civil Service Gazette.

DREFACH, VELINDRE.-On Thursday quite a gloom was cast over this neighbourhood when it became known that Miss Alice Jane Williams, the youngest daughter of Mr Samuel Williams, of Dyffryn Mills, had breathed her last. Her illness covered a period of nearly two years, and, although that illness was a most painful one, she bore it patiently and with Christian fortitude. She was only 24 years of age. The funeral takes place on Monday, at 11 o'clock a. m. The deceased lady was a sister of the Mayoress of Cardigan, of Mrs Lewis (the wife of Alderman Jonn Lewis, Meiros Hall), and of Mrs Davies (the wife of the Rev. Thos. Davies, Baptist Minister, Havod). She was also a niece of Dr. Gomer Lewis (Chairman of the Swansea Board of Guardians), D. Williams (Aber- aeron), and the Rev. John Williams (Vicar of Llanfynydd). A NARROW ESCAPE.—On Saturday night last, Mr Thos. Bateman, ironmonger, and some friends had a very narrow escape just after entering the sands under Waungelod. The horse attached to the trap in which they rode, judging by the pace it travelled along Pendre, must have been rather frisky, or the driver wanted to get as much out of it as he could within a limited period, and when they reached the large stone on the sands under Waungelod the conveyance covered it, and the occupants were thrown out as well as the "market- ings intended for the Sunday dinner, and the horse bolted, causing some trouble. Though the "good things" were scattered about the sands, and some finding their way into the salt water, by dint of perseverance they were recovered, and we are pleased to be able to state that the unfortunate gentlemen escaped with but a little shaking, and the enjoyment looked forward to was not in any way marred. FATAL ACCIDENT AND INQUEST.—On Mon- day an inquest held — touching the death of Miss Anne George, dressmaker, Pendwr Bridge, Gelly, near Clynderwen, aged 23 years. Deceased left Clynderwen on Friday last in charge of her parents' pony and trap. The pony bolted at a sharp curve in the road about two fields from her home, and threw the young woman over the embankment into the field below, the side of the trap falling on her neck. Death must have been instantaneous. A verdict of Accidental death was returned.

A HANDSOME BEQUEST.-It is stated that Mr Lindsay Williams, whose death was recently announced, has bequeathed his entire property to the English Congregational, one of the Noncon- formist Chapels at Aberystwyth, and it is ex- pected that the proceeds will amount to something like £ 7,000. Mr Lindsay Williams was the only son of the late Mr Wm. Williams, H.M. Chief Inspector of Schools for Wales. A Boy SERIOUSLY WOUNDED.-On Sunday, while a boy of nine, son of Mr John Griffiths, of Pentre, was playing with a revolver which he had found in a drawer at his father's house, the weapon exploded, and a bullet was discharge into the boy's side. Dr. H. Thomas was called, and found that the bullet had taken an upward course, and that it was not immediately possible to remove it. TO THE DEAF.—A rich lady having been cured of her Deafness and Noises in the Head by Dr. Nicholson's Artificial Ear Drums has sent el,000 to his Institute, so that Deaf persons unable to procure the Ear Drums may do so free. Apply by letter to B. L. Y. Hale, Secretary to the Institute, 20, St. Bride Street, London, E.C. SHOCKING FATALITY AT CARMARTHEN TIN- WORKS.—On Monday afternoon last, William Morgan (53), labourer at the Carmarthem Tin- works, was engaged in breaking old iron, when a fragment struck him on the forehead and shat- tered his skull, death being instantaneous. His foreman, Enoch James, also sustained injury to the forehead, but his condition is not regarded as serious. Morgan was sexton of St. John's Church. RAILWAY EXTENSION IN CARDIGANSHIRE,— The narrow-gauge railway connecting Aberyst- wyth and Devil's Bridge will be proceeded with, it is said, before the present year is out. It is an open secret that the capital would have been sub- scribed three times over. The plans and estimates of the proposed narrow-gauge railway between Aberystwyth and Aberayron are being steadily proceeded with. Much less of this project than of the more extensively advertised scheme of con- necting the G.W.R. at Newcastle-Emlyn and the pretty seaside resort of Newquay.

BOROUGH PETTY SESSIONS. MONDAY. The adjourned licensing sessions were held on Monday last, at the Guildhall, the Magistrates present being Messrs W. R. Richards and E. C. Evans. There was no licensing business to trans- act, but a new poor-rate was signed.

DARING ROBBERY AT LLYS- NEWYDD. CLEVER CAPTURE AT NEATH. A clever capture was effected on Saturday by Police-sergeant Price, of the Neath Borough police, of a man named John Davies, describing himself as a footman. Sergeant Price acted upon information received on Friday night from the Newcastle-Emlyn police that a robbery had been committed at Llysnewydd, near Newcastle-Emlyn, the residence of Colonel Lewes. The report stated that on the 14th inst., Colonel Lewes was robbed of a covert coat and also of his cash box, which contained f34 in gold and £3 in silver. Sergeant Price called in the morning at 26, Alexander-street, Neath, and interviewed a man who objected to be searched, and denied that he had an overcoat. Sergeant Price persisted in his inquiries, and declared his determination to make a search. The man then consented, and the officer found under a cushion the stolen cash-box with the whole of the missing money. He also found the overcoat. The man was then arrested, and later on being taken before the Borough Bench, he was re- manded to be handed over to the Newcastle-Emlvu Police. At Newcastle-Emlyn on Monday (before Mr Edward Dacies, J.P.), the young man Jno. Davies was remanded charged with burglary at Llys- newydd, the residence of Colonel Lewes. He made a friendly call, and was well received in the servants' hall, he having spent some four years in the service of Colonel Lewes as footman. He left and went on his bicycle to Llandyssul, but at night returned, effected an entrance to the man- sion, and decamped with the cash-box containing £37 10s, a coat, a bag, and cigars. Sergeant Itees traced Davies to Neath, where he was appre- hended with the goods in his possession. 0 AN EXTRAORDINARY CURE FOR CONSUMPTION The following testimonial is from one whose occupation compels him to be out in all weather. "Orcus-street, Capland-street,Grove-road, N. W;- Gentlemen, I suffered from Consumption five years had a cavity in the right lung", and my cough used to keep me awake all night long, having to sit up most of the night. I have been under the treatment of four different Hospitals besides several private practitioners, who all seemed to think my case incurable, but was advised to try the Anti- Microbe tnhalation and Milky Cough Mitxurc,' and after ten weeks of that treatment my cough has gone. I spit no blood, which I did before. I can sleep the clock round every night without a cough, in fact, consider myself cured.—Yours, etc., MICHAEL CONNELLY.

BOARD OF GUARDIANS. The usual meeting of this board was held on Thursday last, at the Union Workhouse, when there were present :-Capt. W. Davies (in the chair), Messrs. James Adams, Wm. Rees, John Mathias, William Mathias, Jonah Evans, Lewis Davies, Capt. Richards, and the Rev. B. Parry Griffiths. The fortnightly statistics were as follows:— INMATES AND TRAMPS In the house, 46 corresponding period of last year 47 Admitted during the last fortnight, 1 dis- charged, 1 born, 0 died, 0 Tramps relieved during the fortnight, 26 cor. responding period of last year, 41. OUT-RELIEF Amount expended last fortnight, £ 122 6s Od corresponding fortnight of last year, £ 121 £ s 9d • being an increase of £ 1 5s 3d. Balances in hands of relieving otiicers:-Bayoes, f2 lis 9d Griffiths, JE2 Os 7d. The number of paupers relieved during the last fortnight was 525 corresponding fortnight of last year, 547 being a decreaee of 22. BALANCE IN BANK The balance in the bank in favour of the board was fl453 19s Od. APPOINTMENT OF NURSE. The Clerk stated that he had advertised in the two local papers and in the Cardiff dailies for a nurse, the result being four applications, which were read in the following order Rosetta Hurrel, Union-terrace, St. Dogmells, aged 28, who had been a general servant in Cardiff for years, but did not enclose testimonials. Eliza John, at present a general servant in the house, and had been so for the last two years. Margaretta Lloyd, aged 25, at present following the occupation of dressmaker, St. Dogmells. She had been for years in service, and had some ex- perience in nursing sick persons. She"enclosed two testimonials. Nurse Evans, an assistant in the mental ward of the Eastland Union in Sussex. She had been in service under the Local Government Board for 11 years as untrained nurse. She was a native of a place near Cardigan, and wished to return to her home. Mr John Mathias wished to know whether the advertisement specified that it was necessary to supply testimonials. The Clerk replied that it was not definitely stated, but occupation and qualifications were to be stated. The Chairman thought that the person to be apointed was required to be certificated. The Clerk replied in the negative the person was only to be fit and proper to discharge the duties. The Chairman remarked that in the case of Nurse Evans, the age or qualifications were not stated. The Clerk replied that probably she had only seen a report in the newspapers, but not the advertisement. So as to be furnished with fur- ther particulars, it would be well for them to adjourn the appointment for a fortnight, as there were but one suitable person among the applicants. On the motion of Mr Lewis Davies, seconded by Mr John Mathias, it was resolved to defer the appointment for a fortnight, the Clerk in the meantime to make further enquiries respecting Nurse Evans. Any further applications sent in would be considered on their merits. THE CLEANSING OF PERSONS* ACT. The Clerk stated that he had received a circular from the Local Government Board, calling atten- tion to the above Act, which empowered the Guardians to erect a suitable place and procure apparatus to clean verminous persons. The Guardians were not disposed to take any action in the matter, and the communication was allowed to remain on the table. COMING HOME AGAIN TO ROOST. The Clerk read a letter from the Clerk of the Cardiff Union announcing that Evan Mathias, a sailor, had once more become chargeable to their Union, and asking would he be accepted without an order. As he did not seem to have gained a settlement elsewhere, it was agreed to accept him. PAYMENTS OF ACCOUNTS. The Clerk was requested to forward to Miss Bowen, Cotham, the amount due as part payment for the suppoit of one E. F. Lloyd in a Home" for 19 weeks. The balance due to Messrs Wilson & Son for work done in the Workhouse was ordered to be paid, the Clerk of the Works having certified that the work had been satisfactorily done. The balance was £7 17s. PAY OR RETURN. Mr D. G. Jones, Glasgow House, Cardigan, sent in a bill for 7s 3d, being the value of samples left with the Guardians two years ago. A year ago, after his tender had expired, he applied for the return of the goods, and subsequently his assistant and the new master searched for them, but failed to discover them. He applied for their return or their value. The Master, having been questioned, stated that he had failed to discover them, and did not know anything about them, as they had been supplied to his predecessor. The Clerk pointed out that they could not pay an account after 12 months, unless an order was obtained from the Local Government Board. Mr John Mathias pointed out that the samples had been deposited with the Guardians for com- parison whilst the contract lasted, and as they had not been taken care of they should be paid for. The Chairman thought there ought to be a "gangway book," in which all samples and materials supplied to the house should be entered. It was ultimately agreed that the bill should be paid.

ST. DOGMELLS RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL. The monthly meeting of this Council was held on Thursday last, at the Board-room, Union Workhouse, the members present being Messrs Jonah Evans (chairman), James A lams, William Mathias, Lewis Davies, Wm. Rees, Rev. B. Parry Griffiths, Capt. Richards, and Capt. Davies. IRREGULARITIES AT ST. DOGMELLS. The Inspector having reported that the public water was being wasted at St. Dogmells, and pipes and dirty buckets connected with the public taps, orders were given to issue notices cautioning offenders, and to prosecute. The Chairman expressed an opinion that St. Dogmells seemed more dirty with everything than any place he knew. Not only did they create a nuisance in the vicinity of the public water supply, but the sides of the streets and roads were very untidy and filthy. Dung heaps were to be met with everywhere on the roadsides, which were never removed, but seemed to accumulate con- tinually. Capt. Davies was sure no such thing would be allowed at Newport. He aud his friends had always noticed these dung heaps on the roadside, especially in Feidrfawr. He did not know why such a state of things could be accounted for, unless it was because the inspector resided in the village. The Inspector stated that it was the duty of the Highway Surveyor to remove the heaps in ques- tion, as they were in his district. They were a nuisance, and should be removed. The Clerk was requested to call attention of the Highway Surveyor to this dereliction of duty, and call upon him to cause them to be removed forthwith. SUPERVISION OF THE WATER WORKS. A letter was read from Mr Thos. Mathias, Clerk to the St. Dogmells Parish Council, an- nouncing that Mr John Rees, Hendre, owing to indisposition, was unable to further superintend the carrying out of the water scheme, and asking the council to appoint another. I The following having taken an interest in the scheme from its commencement were accordingly appointed :—Capt. Richards, and Messrs Lewi? Davies and H. O. Davies. CRYMYCH MONTHLY MARKET. The Clerk stated that Mr Carter, Inspector under the Board of Agriculture, had called upon him about 10 days ago with respect to the pro- vision which would have to be made on the Crymych Cattle Market Ground before a cattle market could be allowed to continue there. It was necessary to pave or macadamise the ground, so that it might be effectually cleaned, and pens provided for sheep, pigs, &c. Section 44 of the Markets Act contained the power to stop all markets unless a suitable place was provided. They, as a public body, had no power to deal with the question in its present state, as the market was held on private property. The inspector distinctly stated that the Doard of Arigriculture would not allow fairs or markets to be held in an open field any longer. If there was a bona fide effort made to put things in order the market would not be stopped. The Inspector of Nuisances stated that the owner of the present fair field was prepared to allow the use of another field, so that two fields might be used alternately. The Chairman remarked that it was evident that some f700 would have to be expended to make a suitable market ground at Crymych, and supply appliances for cleaning. The Rev. B. P. Griffiths thought this was Bon- cath's opportunity for making a good and efficient market place. Steps were being taken already to prepare a ground. Crymych, also, he understood, was moving in the matter. The Clerk remarked that he was given to under- stand by the inspector that it was not the in- tention of the Board of Agriculture under the Act to interfere with annual fairs, as they were a necessity; the monthly markets they had their eye on, so as to keep away disease. The Clerk was requested to write to ottie* District Councils, and ascertain what they wc doing in the matter, so as to try and come to au agreement to form a joint centre market ground. EPEDEMIC AND CLEANSING ACTS. The Clerk was requested to supply the medical officers with copies of the Local Government Board s orders on the above questions. THE CILGERRAN WELL AGAIN. The Clerk read a letter from Mr G. B. Thomas, clerk to the Cilgerran Parish Council, complainiug that the work carried out by the G. W. R. Co. in connection with the well near the station was ineffectual to protect the well, and that the cement used was of such an inferior quality that it was useless. He enclosed a sample of the cement. It was resolved to forward the letter and cement to the G.W.R. Co.'s Inspector of works.

Books, Periodicals, &c. PEARSON'S MAGAZINE.—The September num. ber of Pearson's Magazine contains a wonderfully varied assortment of stories and articles of general interest, and there is hardly a page from one end of the Magazine to the other without one or two, or even more, illustrations. Not only this, but the illustrations throughout are particularly strik- ing, and certainly form one of the most character- istic features of Pearson's Magazine. In this issue we have a very complete description of The Making and Laying of an Atlantic Cable," The Manufacture of Arsenic "-probably the most easily obtained poison in the world—and The Great White Fast"—the solemn religious penance which each year the Jews observe most strictly in the month of September. Elephant Catching in Siam is another attractive article. The photo- graphs which illustrate this are particularly inter- esting, and could only have been obtained with much difficulty. Of the other subjects to which reference is made we may mention Fancy Pianos," an illustrated account of all the most curious and most famous pianos that have ever been made an amusing instruction in the methods of drawing simple outline figures and some re- markable photographs of the Cleverest Imperson- ator in the World. The complete stories, six in number, are well up to Pearson's standard; amongst the contributors of fiction we notice the names of Mr Morley Roberts, Mr George Griffith, Mrs L. T. Meade and Mr Clifford Halifax, and Mr H. G. Wells, whose serial, The War of the Worlds," is certainly one of the most exciting stories that have appeared this year. The cover of Pearson's Magazine is again charming, the colour effects obtained in red and yellow being especially good.
