ROUND THE TOWN.
ROUND THE TOWN. Mr. Ware, in senttncing a couple of lads for stealing knives at Penarth on Monday, said if they did aot alter they would come to the gallows. Mr. Belcher was in form last Monday at Penarth. He asked a witness. who said she knew that de- fendant had committed a ec-.ain oSftnce because she identified her by her voice, whether her voice was a rich harmonious warble, a harsh dis- cordant roar. A little later he asked the Bench to take the evidence of the prosecutor with a very considerable grain of salt. What size that giain The Barry Orchestral Society is to be established. Mr. H. L. Rogers, solicitor, is to be the secretary, in the room of Mr. G. F. Willet resigned. Rev. E. Morris, rector of Cadoxton. and Mrs. Morris returned to the township from a vist to Paris on Friday last. Lloyds Banking Co. have been appointed bankers to the Cadcxtoa promoter" of the new colliories at Coedcae.

Excel- lent illustrations are added, including a good portrait of his lordship. Mr. Richard Evans, general manager of the Barry IHihvuy Company, is to be a purchaser of one of the large villas now in course ot erection at Porthkerry-road. Barry, by Mr. Heed. Major Jones made a curious slip when ho was down at Barrv. lie spoke oi our talented; foiiovr- countryman. Mr. H. A. Jones. The oiiiy thing Welsh about this successful dramatist is his name. He know.; of no Welsh descent, and is a native ot Buckinghamshire. Henry Irving also has a V* elsh name—Henry Brodrib—but whether lie is a Y\ eh-nnian >vmains yet to be cleared up. Are we to see the apotheosis of the Kelt.' The la«t to declare his Welsh origin is no less a per- sonage than Lord SalVoury. Cecil is the English form of the old family name Syssyllt. The transition from Syssyllt to Essyllt is very natural. That gives ns the native place of our irreat Welsh bard, Bewi Wyn o Essyllt, whose loss we mourned about a year ago. Same of Dewi Wyn s relatives are resident ID our d->tiict. A niece of his is Mrs. Jeffreys. of the Uuioniats Club. Kolton. There seems to be a lull in the letting ot con- tractsforprivateiinprovementsat Barry. The fact 0" the mat-or is that our Local Board is temporarily "hard UP." A-* scon as they can I hope they will improve a p^rc of Thompson-street. hat is to prevent their iinishing it from Holton-road end to G-ueret-screet. Now. Mr. Surveyor, that would mike a nice little batch—Wood-street. Gueret- street. and part of Thcmpson-street. As it is. Ilolton is cut off from the outer world, as people can't very well get to the station along Thompson-street. It is in a terrible condition. I see the Barry Company is putting down a proper kerbed footpath from Barry Dock Station to the road hear the Hotel. I hope there will be some show of impartiality, and that a little gravel be thrown on those primitive steps which muddily lead to Station-street. Sir William Thomas Lewis once id that it- cost •C5 a minute to get the Barry Bill through Parlia- ment. People are wondering what the terra carta urns in front of the new Hoiton Schools are for. There are seven of them. Someone suggested that they may be destined to contain the cremated remains of the Schoai Board members. Rev. I>r. Jttorgan, Llanelly. is a native of Llan- eunvg. on the Newport-road. Cardiff. Hence his usual bardic name—Lleuvwg. On the 2nd of December the Welsh Congrega- tionaiists of Hoiton intend holding a concert at Barry. Miss Kate Morgan and most of the Swan- sea eisteddfod prize winners, including Miss Ceinweii Jones, are expected. Ever since the Pulio Library meeting Mr. W. Saunders has not been much in evidence. Now. however, our good friend comes forth as a betting man. It seems that some unkind people have been saying that his manager at the shoeing smithy on the Moors is not a first-class man. Mr. Saunders knows he is. and is willing to back his opinion to the tune of RIO. that he can beat all- comers in shoeing horses. Forty years ago Cardiff had a population some- where about our present number in the Barry Dock district. Full particulars the opening services of the English Caivinistic Methodists of Cadoxton. will be found on the large yellow posters. They com- mence on the 25th inst. At Croesyparc Chapel special preaching meetings were held on Tuesday evening last, and all day Wednesday. This does not look as if the Chapel is about being closed, as a local contemporary stated. Croesyparc is one of the oldest Bapti^ .Churches in the Principality—I think third oldest in Glamor- ganshire. From it have sprung most of the sur- rounding chapels—even Tabernacle, Cardiff. On the edge of Cadoxton Common is a pound. If all the animals that are to be seen straying about our public streets were only impounded, it would have to be enlarged to the dimensions of the Cadoxton market. Sheep in droves, goats, and. strange to say. an abundance of donkeys seem to ramble and roam quite oblivous of police and pounds. The Home Reading Union has added a short list of Welsh books whijh may be read by the various circles. They are Islwyn," Llyfr Tri Aderyn." H Tro yn yr Eidal." Cymru Fu," Oriau'r J £ ore," and "Goronwy Owain." It is intended to form a reading class here in connection with our local Cymmrodorion. Last week we stated that a hansom cab met the trains at Cadoxton station. Mr. Hoddinott's good example has been followed by Mr. Davies. the Barry Hotel, whose well-appointed hansom might be seen outside Barry station at the arrival of any train. Three extra Barry Dock policemen are to be appointed, thus bringing the number up to nine the men work in watches of eight hours each, there will be consequently three always on duty. Canon Allen, M.A., Porthkerry, was unable to preach at Barry Parish Church last Sunday owing to ill health. The Barry representative of the Wrxtmi, )[tiU made a complete hash of the sad drowning case at Barry Dock. The two men who were saved were recorded as having been drowned, while the two unfortunate fellows who lost their lives were announced as having been rescued. Barry shipments were very low last week, the total only reaching 48,992 tons 2 cwt. There is accommodation for the shipment of 100.000 tons weekly. The Barry Local Board must hurry up with that temporary mortuary. The body of the poor fellow who committed suicide at Barry Dock on Monday had to be placed in a stable at the Barry Dock Hotel pending the inquest, which did not take place until Wednesday afternoon. Movements in the marriage market at Barry is about undergoing an upward tendency. At the meeting of the Barry Burial Board on Tuesday it was stated that Mr. Charles Morgan. Castle Farm, one of-the members, had not attended for upwards of two years. Mr. Morgan sees. apparently, no attraction in public affairs since he was defeated at the Local Board election a couple of years ago. The popular ballad. Maid of Athens/' was given the name oi Mr. Etuiyn 5 vans as the com- poser in the Cadoxton Welsh Church concert pro- gramme on Wednesday. Needles to say. this was an error. Neither of the bodies of the three unfortunate victims of the lamentable drowning incident at Barry have been recovered, although the two punts have. A concert in aid of the wives will be held at Holton on Thursday next. The popular Judge of Miskin met with an acci- dent that nearly ended fatally whilst out hunting the other day. His horse, in trying to leap over a brosk, stumbled, and fell backwards into the water, with the Judge undermost. His Honour, however, luckily escaped bodily injury, bui^ failed to extricate himself. Between the Judge and the horse the river was dammed, and the water rose rapidly, so that the Judge was already •• gar«-lino- when his friends arrived on the scene and" saved him. On Saturday evening last another of the Cardiff pops was given at the Park Hall. There was a large attendance. Mr. Jacob Davies at the outset announced that Miss Kats Morgan. Dowlais. was unable to be present, and tiiat Miss Annie Davies had kindly promised to act a-* a substitute, which she did in a praisevorthy ma&Jier. He also men- tioned that several members of his choir was laid up with influenza. The Glee Society rendered some very interesting glees, and were greatly appreciated by the audience. The chief attraction was Miss Nellie Asher, to whom Dr. Turpin pro- phesied a brilliant future when she came off successful in the soprano solo at the Bridgend Eisteddfod. I am pleased to state that Miss Asher the recipient oi a handsome present, presented, I on br-half of the Cardiff Choral Lmon. by Madame Clara S. Davits, on her leaving for London. Her songs were loudly applauded, and was obliged to give an encore each time she appeared. Messrs. R. W. Evans and A. H. Perkins acquitted themselves in a very creditable manner. Messrs, Arthur and Percy Anglo s selection 011 the violin and cello were well received. Madame L Clara -Tovello Davies accompanied the singers with her usual taste. Next Satin day the chief artiste will be Signor Foli, and I feel quite confident that a rich treat is in store again. I should not omit to state that Messrs. Thompson and Shackell supplied the grand Briiismcad pianoforte.

Stoweli, M.A.. j.asvor of the Barry Congregational Church, de- livered on Sunday evening last the first of a series of sermons for young men and wom;n on Lessons for Life." The rev gentleman took for his text Psalms xxxiv., 12 What man is he that desireth life and loveth many days that he may see good the subject of the sermon being What to Think." There was a 'urge attendance, and an eloquent sermon was attentively listened to. In the course of his remarks the rev. gentleman said if youth did not think they were sure to go wrong. There were times when not to think was :'1. crime. They were prone to let the moments pass into oblivion, and then it was that they committed the crime that brought upon them the curse of disappointed and wasted life. What to Think" was. perhaps, a vague title for a sermon, and when it was added "chink of God," they might still wonder what to think of Him. Men differed and quarrelled violently as to what to think of Cod. He (the preacher) exhorted them not t'1 h" lell into the Leal error of not thinking ahnut God at all. Uue; of the thought of God, like branches from a mighty seem, there came the thought of duty, "stern daughter of the voice of God." as Wordsworth called it. With many duty was a fiction, a fable something done for wages, or not at all. But why was this ? Where was integrity, patience, courage, generosity, heroism ? The only root for these things was God. If they would know, then, what to think, let then turn to Him who spoke the wondrous words, "I all1 the way, the truth. and the life," and see what he could reveal to them of God and duty.

BARRY DOCK.
BARRY DOCK. SCDDEX DEATH OF A GIRL—On Sunday even- ing a young girl named Lizzie Griffiths, living at 18, Gueret-street, Barry Dock, suddenly expired. She had apparently been quite well dr -ing the dav, and she attended Barry Dock Mission Church in the morn- ing. The inquest was held at the Barry Dock Police- station, Holton-road, on Wednesday afternoon, before Mr. E. B. Reece, district coroner. Mr. Hutchins was foreman of the jury. Mary Ann Griffiths, mother of the deceased, said her daughter was twelve years of age last April. On Sunday morning she went to church with her father, but had to come back. as she was unwell. During the day the deceased vomited very much, suffered badly from diarrhoea, and com- plained of a pain in the side. In the night at about half-past three witness found the deceased on the floor and too weak to return into bed. She removed her to her own bed, saw that something serious was the matter, anc1 called for the neighbours and sent for a doctor. In a quarter of an hour the girl died.—Dr. W. Hoyd Edwards said the condition of the body was consistent with extreme exhaustion. After hearing the mother's evidence he was of opinion that death re- sulted from an extreme case of diarrhoea and exhaus- tion. There was a cesspool in the vicinity, and the bad smells, ..(or., were the cause of much complaint. There were several cases of similar illness in the st-raet. The cause of death was probably the un- healthy condition of the street.—The mother of the deceased and several of the jurymen bore out the statement of the doctor in reference to this, it being stated that the condition O1f things was very bad in- deed.—The Coroner said he had passed the spot that day, and the smells were something terrible.—A ver- dict in accordance with the medical evidence was re- turned, and at the request of the jury the coroner con- sented to write a strongly-worded letter to the Local Board in reference to the unsanitary condition of the neighbourhood referred to.

Dinas Powis, presided over a, large audience which had assembled to patronise a concert, promoted to aid. the fun Is of the proposed new Welsh Church for Cadoxton. Several of the items of the programme were really most excellently rendered. Mr. J. F. Proud's singing of Captain of the Lifeboat," and ■" The Admiral's Broom was a treat. Mr. J. Michael, an old Cadoxton favourite, however, ran him pretty close fur prcmier honours by his tasteful rendering of the ever-pleasing tenor song, "Maid of Athens," and the general applause with which it was greeted was fully deserved. Miss Louie Hooper, R.A.M., earned the highest encomiums in her songs, Fidde and 1" and "Dear Heart." and may always rest assured of a flattering reception on the occasion of any future visit toCadoxton. The comic elementwas well sustained by Mr. Vv*. H. Morgan (Dinas Powis), and Mr. E. A. H. Stewart (Barry).

BrynFarm, Pcndeulwyn. The deceased, though but eleven years of age, was a great favourite with the Llanoferians on acconnt of her meek nature and deep intelligence, and many were the tears that were shed by her fellow-pupils in the day and Sunday schools when her death was announced on the 26th eIt. She was buried in her mother's grave near Goitre Chapel on the 29th u!t., and several ministers took part in the service.

This year the schonl ;>erforme.d in character the cantata, Happy Hearts," under the cOIl<luct0rship of Mr. Davies the schoolmaster. The children did their work in a most satisfactory manner some of them were exceptionally good—beyond anything that could be expected from children so young. It was quite evident that great at- tention had been given to bring the little ones to th^s state of perfection. Very great credit is due to Mr. Davies for the labour and the deep interest whicd he takes in training up the young that are under his care. Miss Cassie Lougher, Garnellwyd, was the pianist for the evening, who did her part in a very pleasing style. W e wish to thank, through the medium of your valuable paper, Mrs. E. R. Lewis, The Par- sonage, Llancarvan, for her ready kindness in lending her piano for the occasion, and also for her generosity in providing refreshments for the school children, who had almost exhausted themselves in going through their hard task. Mr. T. Price, Lambethery, chairman of the Board, is worthy of great praise for the interest and the most active part which he takes in the educa- tion of the children. A vote of thanks to iVJr. Davies, the schoolmaster, and Dir. Hughe", the chairman, brought the entertainment to a close. All left the schoolroom (which was crowded to exccess) highly pleased. These annual entertainments are extremely popular.

OGMORE VALLEY.
OGMORE VALLEY. EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES. — Never before have the young people of the Ogmore Valley teen privileged with so many advantages to improve their education as they have this winter.

PRIVATE IMPROVEMENTS AND DRAINAGE.— The Local Board are pushing forward with the private improvements and the drainage of the Ogmore Valley This when completed will prove a blessing to the place. THE LLANGEINOR SCHOOL BOARD AND THE SCRIPTURAL TEACHING IX THE DAY SCHOOLS.— A feeling of dissatisfaction is expressed by many with the manner the Board have acted with regard to the above matter. The term of the present Board expires next March, and it is thought chat the Board could very well afford to postpone the matter until then, so as to have the voice of the ratepayers with regard to the matter. It is also thought that the subjects already taught in the schools are as many as the staff can do justice to. It is much better to have a good knowledge of a few subjects than only have a smattering of many is the feeling expressed.
