FLINTSHIRE EDUCATION.
FLINTSHIRE EDUCATION. County Committee Meeting. A meeting of this Committee was held at Mold on Wednesday. On account of the death of the Chairman (Mr. ltLlewelyn Jones), it had been arranged that only business of urgency should be considered, and that the appointment of chairman and vice chairman for the ensuing year should be deferred to the meeting on the 31st inst. Mr T. W. Hughes (Flint) was voted to the chair. The Chairman, in sympathetic terms, moved a resolution placing on record the Committee's deep sense of the loss sustained by the county of Flint through the death of Mr Jones, and expressing sincere sympathy with the family in, their bereavement.—This was seconded by Mr J. W. Summers (chair- man of the County Council), and others also associated themselves with the resolution. Letters were read from Mr J. Herbert Lewis, M. P. and MrE. S. Taylor, bearing testimony to Mr Jones's sterling qualities. With regard to the question of school ac- commodation in the parish of Gwaenysgor, a n sub-committee was appointed to hold an inquiry and to report to a future meeting. It was decided to support the claims of Carnarvon for the National Museum and of Aberystwyth for the National Library. Th/j question of compensation for abolished offices was considered, and on the proposal of Mr J. L. Muspratt, seconded by Mr W. H. Roberts, it was decided to pay the compensa- tion without deducting the one-fourth of the o whole which was allowed by the Treasury rules in such cases where the holders of offices had not given their whole time to the public service. The payment of teachers' salaries, &c., for the month of May was authorised.
The Wished-for Passenger Railway.
The Wished-for Passenger Railway. Dyserth and Ochr-y-foel are doubtless more concerned in pushing on the agitation for a passenger service than either Meliden or Prestatyn. It is not surprising therefore that the petition now before the public is being very largely signed, and that much interest is being manifested therein. Those who have not already added their signature to the document should lose no time in doing so.
Spring Cleaning.
Spring Cleaning. Now that the trees are donning their new, summer dress In many tints of verdant green, it behoves the people of Dyserth to put their many attractions in order, in readiness for the visiting season. Excursionists and visitors will surely not admire the old tin saucepans and other refuse now peacefully reposing in mid-stream in close proximity to the waterfall. The other day loiterers will also have noticed a very suspicious-looking bag or sack which had been deposited near the same place. It is unnecessary to conjecture what the contents may have been,but it would not require a vivid imagination to conjure up pictures of dead cats, dogs, etc., which cl would not add to the sanitary condition of the stream. A few shillings spent in the cleaning and general tidying-up of the water- fall's surroundings would not make Dyserth's sanitary rate much bigger.
Musical Festival.
Musical Festival. The children's annual musical festival in connection with the Rhuddlan district of the Welsh Calvinistic Methodists was held at Dyserth on Thursday. Contingents were in attendance from Rhuddlan, bt. Asaph, Pres- tatyn, Dyserth, Rhyl, etc. At the afternoon meeting the Rev. Jonathan Jones (St. Asaph) presided, Mr Dan. Jones (Hhyl) conducted the singing, and Miss Jones (Aled House, Rhyl) acted n as accompanist, the children being catechised by Mr D. In Hughes (St. Asaph). The evening meeting was presided over by Mr T. D. Jones (llhyl), Mr T. J. Williams (Rhyl) conducted, Mrs Lloyd Jones (Pres- tatyn) accompanied, while the Rev. D. Jones (Rhuddlan) catechised the children. Mr (roronwy Jones announced the names of those who had been successful in the various examinations. There were large attendances both after- noon and evening, and in the interval between n the meetings tea was provided.
Meliden.
Meliden. An Accident. On Tuesday morning when Mr and Mrs Robinson were driving to Rhyl they overtook a. traction engine before getting outside Meliden. The pony became restive and Mr Robinson got out of the trap and led the animal. The driver of the machine, however, did not stop, and Mr Robinson in his attempts to quiten the pony was knocked down, the wheel of the trap passing over his back. Mrs Robinson managed to retain her seat in the trap, but had a very narrow escape of being thrown out. Fortunately for Mr Robinson the trap was but a very light one, and he escaped with a few bruises. J

United Prayer Meeting. This was held last Tuesday evening at All Saints Church, and numerously attended. Converts and children took a leading part in a most effective manner. The conductor was Mr R. Owen, Kidderminster House.
Generosity.
Generosity. The people of the village are noted for their readiness to subscribe towards auy good cause. Not long ago, they subscribed handsomely towards Dr Barnardo's Homes, and recently by means of subscriptions and the Ganges' Banks Concert, Mr T. Jones, school, was enabled to forward £H 2s. 6d. to the Benevo- lent and Orphanage Funds of the National Union of Teachers. The total amount collec- ted by the Flintshire Teachers was 1:91 Is Od. Visitors. Sanitary arrangements in this village have y 0 0 been receiving special attention last week, owing to the promised visit of the Local Goverment Board Inspector, who fulfilled his promise last Tuesday, and visited the place in connection with the proposed Sewer- age Scheme for the village. He was met by 1 the following Rural District Councillors:— Messrs W. Roberts (chairman), J. Petrie, Edward Evans, Edward Jones, and the clerk P. Harding Roberts Robert Jones (County Councillor), C. J. Batters, and ex-Parish Councillor Samuel Bl/tliyn, who produced a map, which, it seems, threw a flood of light on the difficulty of draining the village. The six Parish Councillors, forming the Parochial Committee, were conspicuous by tlieirabsence.
Easter Vestry.
Easter Vestry. This was held on Thursday evening in Easter week at All Saints Church, and was presided over by the Vicar the Rev. Howell Harris. The accounts showed a balance in hand of a little over four pounds. The vicar chose Mr John Roberts, Doldyhewydd I ill i, as his Warden, while Mr .Daniel Edwards, Abergele Terrace, was re-elected People's Warden. The sidesmen appointed were Messrs David Jones, Liverpool House, and William Davies, Meirion Terrace.
The Postman.
The Postman. A correspondent writes Mr Joseph Price, Dee view, our respected postman is missed very much by the public. He has now been laid up for seven weeks by a most painful illness, which confines him to his bed. We regret to say that he is, unfo rtunately, o it of benefit in his club, and therefore depends on charity. Now, professing Christians, here is a chance for us to put our religion to the test by helping a poor brother in need. We understand that some, have already been through the test successfully.
The Medical Officer.
The Medical Officer. It will he a great satisfaction to many in Ffynnongroew district to know that the Guardians at their last meeting, on the pro- position of Mr. William Roberts, J.P., rescinded their previous resolution which made it compulsory for the Medical Officer for the Whitford district to reside in the village of Llanasa, and have now decided th.'Ü Dr. Lloyd Owen's present residence is much more central for the vast majority of the patients. The Doctor will therefore remain where he is. Dr. Lloyd Owen's removal to Llanasa would have been a great loss to Ffynnongroew," in the welfare of which he takes a deep interest.
Recovering.
Recovering. The illness of the Rev. E. Pan Jornes, D.Pli., M.A., caused a feeling of sinejre regret throughout the whole district. Dr. Pan Jones has so long been in the front rank in all work that makes for the moral and material prosperity of the neighbourhood, and has shewn such zeal and untiring energy that it was difficult to grasp the fact that he was ill. This is the first time for more than fifty years for him to be absent from his pulpit through sickness. This is a record. The respect in which the Doctor is held was manifest by the continuous stream of callers at his house to enquire for him. The rev. gentleman is making a satisfactory recovery, and it is hoped lie will soon be fully restored to normal health. »

FLINTSHIRE POLICE.
FLINTSHIRE POLICE. The quarterly meeting of the Flintshire Police Committee was held at Mold on Thurs- day, when Dr Williams (Flint), a County Council representative, was elected chairman, in spite of Mr. Pennant's appeal for alternate selection from the Quarter Sessions and County Council representatives. During a discussion on police expenditure, Mr S. Jones, Flint, said he noticed that the number of offences were decreasing, and they heard from the Chief Constable at the last meeting that in a great measure this was due to the revival. The revival was still with them, and he hoped it would remain for a long time. He thought that the reduction of expense might be secured by drafting men from country places to other places where the population was increasing, iustead of making fresh appointments. Mr Robert Jones (Ffynnongroew) seconded the motion. Mr Ellis (Rhyl) suggested that the expendi- 0 ture on officials of the County Council should be reduced. The Chief Constable made a statement regarding the increased pay and increased effi- ciency of the force, after which Mr S. Jones said that as it appeared to be the wish of the members generally lie would withdraw his proposition.
