During some »part of Thursday and Friday he was wheeled about the neighbourhood of his beautiful residence in a com- fortable basket carriage, and the outdoor perambula- tion appears to have done him a great amount of good. His great drawback is the continued numbness in his lower limbs. CATTLE MARKET.—The usual weekly cattle market was held on Monday morning, when an average amount of business was transacted. A large number of sheep was sold, but not many cattle, and fair prices were readily obtained. BOARD OF GUARDIANS.—The usual weekly meet- ing of the Guardians of the Bridgend and Cowbridge Union was held at the Board Room, Bridgend, Oil Saturday, the chairman (Rev. F. W. Edmondes, M.A.) presiding. The others present were Mr. E. Lewis (vice-chairman), Messrs. Edward Lewis, Richard Williams, Barrow, Richard Thomas, William Howell (Pencoed), Colonel J. P. Turbevill, John Rees, Edward John, Wm. Hopkins, Wm. Jones, Thomas Jones, Robert Thomas, John Davies, John Williams, Daniel Thomas, Thomas Rees, Morgan Jenkins, and R. H. Cox (clerk). It was reported that £80 19s. 10(1. had been expended in relief during the last week, as compared with i1\8 Os. 4d. cobt of relief in the cor- responding week last year. 791 persons were relieved last week, as compared with 887 persons relieved in the corresponding period last year. Ill persons received relief in Cowbridge district, 149 in the Ogmore dis- trict, 275 in the Bridgend district, and 206 in the Maesteg district. Fifty of the non-resident poor also applied to the Union last week. The balance in the bank was reported by the clerk to be .£4.701 15s. POLICE CHANGES. — Police-constable Ebenezer Rees, who has been stationed in Bridgend altogether for about three years, left the town on Monday after- noon for Penarth, to which place he has been transferred. During the time he has been in Bridgend Police-constable Rees has made many friends, who much regret his departure. He has been very attentive to his duties here, and has been largely instrumental in causing many offenclen1 to be punished for their misdeeds. His friends will be very pleased to hear of his promotion at no distant date, and certainly if an energetic and civil discharge of duty is the way to earn it Police-constable Rees will ere long obtain his step. Police-constable Driscoll has been transferred to Bridgend, and Police-constable Sandford will in future do duty in Bridgend under Superintendent Thomas and Sergeant Row. A SHOCKING CASE.—At the Bridgend Town Hall on Wednesday morning, before Mr. E. Price, William Price, labourer, of Llancarvan, who was arrested on 15th inst. by the County Police at St. Nicholas, with unlawfully and carnally having connection with his sister, Mary Ann Price, over the age of 13 a.nd under 16, at various times during the last eighteen months. —P.S. Rowe stated that he read the warrant over to prisoner, and he said he was vcry sorry for what had taken place. It was quite true that he had had con- nection with his sister from about 18 months or two years ago up to about six or seven weeks ago, He again said he was sorry and said, As soon as I get out of this nothing of this sort shall ever happen again." His sister was at Maesteg, and witness had seen her and communicated with her. It was doubtful whether she would be able to attend the court on Saturday or not, owing to her condition.—Prisoner, who had nothing to say, was remanded until to-morrow (Saturday). EXCURSIONS.—The excursion trains from Bridgend to Porthcawl on Wednesday were well patronised. IMPORTANT TO LIBERALS.—It is to be hoped that all Liberals who receive notices of objection to their votes to-morrow (Saturday) wiil take it at once (on the same day as early as possible) to Mr. T. J. Hughes, solicitor, Dunraven-place, Bridgend. Bv so doing it is possible that Mr. Hughes may be able to make a. fresh claim for the vote on another ground, and so the vote may be retained by the Liberal party. It is of great importance, in view of possible contingencies, that every Liberal duly qualified should have a vote. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.—Special services were held at the Presbyterian Church, Nolton-road, on Sun- day morning, afternoon, and evening. There were large congregations each time, and a good collection in aid of the school funds was taken. THE REGISTER.—We are glad to know that the work in connection with the new register has been well attended to in the interests of the Liberal party by members of the Bridgend Liberal and Radical Club. The work, it is stated, has been done exceptionally well this year. Still, as there is a possibility that a few Liberals have not examined the lists, we trust that they will at once do so and if their name is not on the list. they should at once inform Mr. T. J. Hughes, soli- citor, Dunraven-place, Bridgend, who will see that a claim in proper form is made for the vote. SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday, William Mor- gan, aged 35 years, Castle-street, was engaged in putting a brake on a truck near the Coppee coke ovens, the property of North's Navigation Company, when he sustained very severe injuries to his head and shoulders. He is in a dangerous condition, and is attended by Dr. Davies and Dr. Clay. COWBRIDGE. ANNUAL TREAT.—On Wednesday, August 10th, the Baptist Sunday Schools of Cowbridge and Llan- blethian had their annual treat. The day was every- thing that could have been desired. The schools resolved to keep their annual treat at home this year again, rather than face the undertaking of conveying so many children to the seaside. The procession marched from Llanbleddian to Cowbridre, taking the route ef Broadway, numbering about 300. Several suitable pieces were sung on the way with much energy and good taste, under the leadership of Mr. J. D. Evans (loan More). Awaiting thcm in the com- modious new schoolroom attached to the chapel at Cowbridge were tables, spread with delicious provi- sions, at which over 300 participated. After having been satisfied, the remainder was divided between the old people that were unable to join in the enjoyment of the day. After tea the scholars adjourned to the most convenient and pleasant field in the vicinity of the Garden of Wales, placed at their disposal by the kind-hearted and liberal-minded gentleman, Mr. William Vertons. One very Dleasant feature of the treat was that the surplus in nand since last year pro- vided sufficient funds to defray all costs incurred by this year's treat, and left a small snrplus in hand. The arrangements of the committee were as near as pos- sible to perfection, and the courtesy of the waitresses beyond praise. One feature of the concert in the evening impressed one that human nature is still strong in old age, because old as well as young joined most heartily in the harmless amusements. From two to three pounds were divided among the children in sports. The little ones were put to run for amuae- ment's sake, but each child received the same reward, so as to prevent even the shadow of gambling to enter into the camp of the Sunday School. Several favourite tunes were sung, such as Bryn Calfaria," to the words Gwaed y groes sy'n codi fyny," Y delyn aur" to the words Decheu canu, dechruo canmol," and "Babel to the words Bycld myrdd o ryfeddodau." As an acknowledgment of his kindness three imost hearty cheers were given to Mr. Williams, and also to Mrs. Williams, the beloved widow of the late Rev. Mr. Williams, Fairfield. By the bye, two schools have been down from the hills also one we know solely at the expense of Mr. Williams himself (the Baptist School of Rhydfelen), and had a most cordial reception and everything provided them worthy of their honoured host. The schools at Cowbridge and Llanblethian are in a more flourishing condition now than they ever have been before. Also the Church and congregations at Ramoth, under the pas- toral care of the Rev. Owen Jones, are very flourish- ing. Of late some have joined the Church every Sunday. The number of candidates for baptism now before the Church is twelve. We most heartily wish them Godspeed.—Commiuticited. ABERKENFIG. CHOIR PICNIC.—The annual picnic of the choir of St. John's Church, Aberkenfig, took place on Monday, Southerndown being the place visited. Nearly all the members were present, and, the day turning out fine, the party much enjoyed their expedition. NANTYMOEL. VISITORS TO PORTHCAWL.—On Wednesday afternoon a large number of people booked from Nantymoel to Porthcawl to witness the yacht racing. ifrc. The weather turned out very favourable, and all returned much pleased with their brief stay by the sea.
EARTHQUAKE SHOCK AT PORTHCAWL.
EARTHQUAKE SHOCK AT PORTHCAWL. CONSTERNATION AMONG THE INHABITANTS. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE SOUTH WALES STAR]. Shocks were felt at Porthcawl at mid-night of Wednesday. People who were sleeping were startled from their slumbers, and really thought the houses in some cases were coming down, and some thought burglars were in the houses. The shock lasted some time, and some of the woman folk were rather afraid of going back to their beds. After the first violent shock was over they felt the houses and be«s as if they were shuddering. Visitors and house-holders felt the shock alike. Some of them had felt the similar rumbling years ago. The sensation produced upon them was much alike in the present case.

A UAliUIJb * tiUAT IN COLLISION.
A UAliUIJb tiUAT IN COLLISION. EXCITING SCENES OFF PENARTH. The tug Sea. Prince, owned by Messrs. Guthrie, Hey wood and Co., of Cardiff left Burnham early on Wednesday with ninety passengers and twenty head of cattle, chiefly calves. It was off the Penarth boat- house, and so close in that the spectators could clearly distinguish the faces of those onboard, when she came into collision with the Bute hopper barge No. 2. It happened so suddenly and so unexpectedly that the onlookers did not at once realise the grave nature of the incident. The crowded deck of the Sea Prince was evidently the scene of something like a panic, but the captain and crow were able to re-assure the passengers, among whom was a considerable contingent of ladies. The Sea Prince was severely damaged, her stem being twisted to star- board. Water freely entered the forepeak, but, pro- videntially, was prevented from going further by the forward bulkhead. The slow settling down of the bows naturally excited the liveliest apprehension. It would appear that it was in deference to this feeling rather than the influence of any disbelief in the capa- city of the boat to reach Cardiff safely which induced Captain King to beach the vessel, and the operation was safely carried through, and the Sea Prince was run into the shingly beach along- side the wreck of the French steamer Tunisie. When this had been done serious danger was, of course, practically over. Means were hastily im- provised to facilitate the debarkation. A flotilla of small boats surrounded the tug. Gentlemen on the beach readily and cheerfully assisted, and within a comparatively short space of time the ninety passengers were out of the tug and on their way to Cardiff. The landing of the cattle was less expeditious, for, frightened by the noise and com- motion, they proved exceedingly difficult to handle. The tide rapidly ebbing diminished the difficulty as the time wore on, for soon it became possible to bring carts alongside the tug, into which some of the calves were slung and, well secured, they were carried away. In the result every passenger was landed without the slightest injury being suffered, an achievement ren- dered the more praiseworthy by the trying character of the circumstances. An accident which might have proved a frightful disaster, highly destructive to life, therefore resulted in no worse consequence than incon- venience and a temporary anxiety to the passengers and the beaching of the damaged boat. ON BOARD THE SEA PRINCE, At 1.30 o'clock this morning a reporter visited the Cardiff Docks and boarded the Sea Prince, which had arrived in Cardiff by the evenintr's tide, and was lying off the pontoon. Captain John King and the crew were at the time of the reporter's visit engaged in transferring the calves and cows which they had failed to remove at Penarth. Ho was informed that when off the Kymin the tug was, ap- proached by the Bute hopper barge, which according to a statement made by one of the crew of the Sea Prince; did not attend to the signal to heave off. The Sea Prince was brought to a standstill, and then the collision, which was a violent one, took place. The barge Istruck the Sea Prince with such force that a portion of her bows was stove in, and water entered the forepeak. The pumps were used. Considerable confusion ensued among the passengers, a good many of whom were ladies. -W .0
! EAST ABERTHAW AND ST. IATHAN…
EAST ABERTHAW AND ST. ATHAN GOSSIP. —^ East Aberthaw, the Leys, and neighbourhood are being well patronised by pleasure-seekers this summer. Not for years have there been so many visitors. This looks well for the new railway, and it is a pity it could not be opened at once. Rumour has it now that the ceremony of opening will take place on the 1st of September next, but rumour has fixed upon so many dates of late on which the line •' would certainly be opened" that we must be content to wait till seeing is believing." Trade is on the move in the right direction here. The termination of the strikes has already set the Aberthaw Pebble Lime Company's Works in full swing, vessels are loading on the beach, the corn harvest has begun, and consequently few, if any, of the villagers are in the deplorable condition— out of work. A very different state of things existed a month or so ago, which makes our present prosperity all the more thankful for. The local orator-the village masher, by the way -was addressing a company of admiring (?) friends the other evening, and so eloquent did he wax that, not noticing the fact that he had placed his hat upon the table, he smote it (the hat) such a terrific blow with his fist as to split the tile right across the crown. His appearance, as he walked to his home, was that of a man whom it would be dangerous to speak to. Moral: Don't get excited over politics. Is it true that the decision to erect a jetty over the river from the Leys to East Aberthaw has been abandoned Anyway, that is what is whispered about here. As I have before said, it would be one of the greatest blessing: that could be conferred upon the neighbourhood were we able to cross the river without the needless walk round by Bruton, and I hope we shall very soon be enabled to do so. The young couple who were so engrossed in each other's company on the beach here the other day as not to notice that they had left their gloves where they were sitting are respectfully informed that the said gloves are under the big stone by the bank. X.E.-They didn't fit me. I notice that attention has been called to the fact that it is impossible to obtain refreshment, except of an intoxicating nature, at the Blue Anchor, Aberthaw. I do not think it is through any unwillingness on the landlord's part that this is so, but simply because he has so little accommo- datiom in the shape ef room. Them, again- although we in the village know it—visitors cannot be expected t. know that the landlady has, for some time past, been seriously ill. and, conse- quently, tuiable to provide for her guests, as I am sura she would do were she again restored to health. But why visitors requiring a tea or lunch, &c., should confine their applications to the pubs. puzzles me. There are several cottagers in the village who, I am sure, would consider it a God- send had they the opportunity of catering for visitors, and. if served in a somewhat rough and ready fashion, we must remember we are in the country, not in a town.
