— ABERAERON. THE SEASON.—The warm and beautiful weather which has set in, has already changcd the as- pect of t' e town. Sea-side visitors, as may be seen in another column are now rapidly miking their fi-o-n all directions. The sani tary condition of the town is iu a satisfactory state, as, in fact, it always has been epidemic diseases seldom, if ei,, r, visit the place.

DINAS MAWDDWY. AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.-The agricultural show is fixed to take place in September next. Prizes for cattle, horses, sheep, cottagers' produce, &c., will be given to the amount of 601. Sir Edmund Bnckley is president of the society, and Mr Jones, the Mayor of Dinas, Vice-president. FAIR.—Dinas Mawddwy is situated about six miles from the Commaes Road Station, from which a rail. way runs to the town (thacka to Sir EJmnnd Bucklcy for the boon). The Vale of the Mawddwy is truly- grand, and more especially at this season of the year when nature is dressed in her gayest uniform. The uninitiated would never dream that in a secluded spot like this a dozen persons would attend a fair, but it is quite the reverse. Those who visited the June fair held on Tuesday would have seen hundreds of cattle being driyon to the spot. Multitudes of persons came by J>DIL, while the roads were lined with pedestrians, wether with a large number on horses, and others driving. The day was excessively hot, a brisk wind at intervals bringing the dust in clouds. (By the bye, Dinas is noted! You are either blinded with dust, or the mud is over your boots). The prices for cattle were much lower, and a great many changed hands. Pigs were very high. There was a capital show of horses, the animals realising from thirty to sixty guineas each, and the fair was the best which has been known for some time. There was as usual a goodly number of gingerbread and toy stalls, the owners of which appeard to do a "rattling' trade amongst the juveniles, and even amongst children of bigger growth. The publicans, too, must have done a thriving business and to judge from the rooms of the inns, Good Templarism has not gained much ground at Dinas Mawddwy fair. Thero were one or two little melees which soon subsided, and th,) proceedings on the whole passed off very quietly.

ABERDOVEY. UEATH OF MRS J ONES.—The sad news reached here this week of the death of Mrs Mary Jones, the much respected wife of the Rev Francis Jones, lato pastor of the Calvinistic Methodist Church in this place. Mr Jones and his family left Abcrdovey in November last for Waenfawr, near Carnarvon. Mrs Jones was then and had been for some time an invalid. Much sympathy is felt with Mr Jones and his family in their great sorrow. SHIPPING-.—The "Glenalvon," owned by Messrs Jones and Griffiths, arrived here on Wednesday with a (,,argo of timber from the United States. The Glenalvon" arrived at St. Tndwall's some weeks smce, but could not cross Aberdovey bar, owing to insufficient water.

LLANDDE WI-B REFI. THE BoAUD SCHOOL.—The following is a verbatim copy of the inspector's report on the abovo school for the year ending the 31st day of March last" This school U instructed with skill and success. The scholars presented passed on the whole a good ex- amination in the elementary subjects, and the first ciass, which was large, answered questions orally in the geography of Europe and grammar creditably. The sewing showed considerable improvement since last year. The pupil teacher and candidates had been well trained." The schedule and passes show that the amount of grant earned for the past year is 381. 8S. The average number of attendances for the year was only 58 and the number prosented for examination, 42. It seem from the above report that this GJHOOL is in a flourishing condition under the management of Mr Lewis Davies (Rhystyd), and is in a more hopeful condition at present than has pre. viously been the cas

CARMARTHEN. THE LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION.— The Rev L. M. Jones, vicar of Carmarthen, has been elected president for the ensuing year, and Mr J. Hughes, F.R.S., and Mr Win. Morris, Coombo, vice. presidents. The secretary is Mr E. C. Evans, and the hon. secretary, Mr C. N. Phillips, of the Connty Court office. Since his election as president, the vicar has contributed a donation of 51. to the funds of the institution. BURGLARY.—Between two and three o'clock on Monday morning the shop of Mr J. Andrews, confec- tioner, King-street, was broken into, and about 41. in coppers carried off from one of the tills. The robbery was discovered about three o'clock in the morning, when the constable on duty in that part of the town found the lower half of the shop door open, and at once aroused Mr Andrews. Several robberies of the kind have lately been committed in the town with impunity but it is to be hoped that the police will be able to put a stop to these depredations in future.

WELSHPOOL. THE MAYOR'S BADGE.—Alderman Abraham Howell, some time ago pointed out the desirability of pro- viding a chain a gown for the Mayor, and finding that they conld not be procured out of the corporation funds, kindly offered to present the corporate body with a gold chain and robe, to be worn successively by each mayor of the borongh. The presentation ceremony took place on Wednesday last woek, and the mayor Mr E. M. Jones, afterwar,is invited Alder. man Howell, and the members of the council to a sumptuous dinner. THE MAYOR AT CHURCH.—On its becoming known last week that Mr A. Howell had presented to the mayor of this town a chain and badge to bo worn on civic occasions, and that Sunday, May 30th, would be tho first occasion for its use, it naturally followed that more than ordinary interest was felt in the pro- cession that attended St. Mary's Church for divine service. At the time appointed the number of spec- tators became numerous near the Town Hall, and at half.past ten o'clock the mayor, adorned with robe and chain, was accompanied by members of the council and his friends to church. To the oldest in- habitant this was not the first occasion on which a mayor of Welshpool had walked in his robes to church, for some can remember the time when Mr Pugh (ironmonger) did so.—(Oswestry Advertiser.)

YSTRAD MEURIG. SCHOOL BOARD.-The Committee of the Privy Counsel on Education have issued an order for the compulsory formation of a school board for the united district of Ystrad-Meurig- and Lledrod-Vpper.

TOWYN. DRAINAGE.—Wo are pleased to learn that our spirited townsman, Mr William Parry, late of the Corbet Hotel, but now of High-street, is going to drain about forty two more acres of marsh land the great success which attended his last enterprise has induced him to undertake this additional labour. The excellence of the crops that have been reped off these bogs, after proper drainage and cultivation are realy astonishing. We trust many others will follow the example set by Mr Parry, and in a short time the desert would be seen blossoning as the rose.

ABERGYNOLWYN NEAR TOWYN. FAIR. —There was a vciy large fair on Monday, but few bnyers attended. Wtlsh wothers relized 21s.: cattle were much lower, and the show of horses was very meagre. STRIKE AT THE QUARRY.—The men employed at the extensive Abergyuolwyn slate quarries, struck work on Saturday, owing to the refusal of the masters to discharge certain men who had taken a contract in the quarry to clear some surface soil and rock, and who were not quarrymen. Tho strike happily ter- minated on Monday, the men resuming work under a guarantee from the managers that the contractors to whose employment they objected should be discharged at the end of the week.

MACHYNLLETH. LECTURE.—On Monday evening a temperanco lecture was given at the Town Hall by Bro. the Rev Thomas Ev.ms, of Welshpool, the subject being Our curse and how to cure it." The chair was occupied by the Rev Josiah Jones, and the attendance was numerous: the lecture bciug greatly appreciated by the andiance. The meeting was held under the auspices of the 1.0.G.T. English Lodge Dovey. BANGOR DIOCESAN CHURCH DEFENCE ASSOCIA- TION.-It was resolved at the last Rnri-decanal meeting, held in St. Peter's Church at this town, to organise a local branch of the above association, and a committee was, accordingly, formed, in order to arrange the rules of the society. It lias also been decided to hold meetings for the purpose of defending church principles, and to disprove the unfounded assertions made by the Nonconformists on the sub- juct.

CARDIGAN. RIFLE VOLUNTEERS.—The first full dress parade this season of the 1st Cardigan Eiflo Volunteers took place on Wednesday evening, the 26th ult., before C'tpt. Lewes, the adjutant of the battalion. There was a good attendance, and several battalion and company movements were very creditably executed. WEEKLY HALF HOLIDAY.—This movement, which was attended with so much success last year, was again revived on Woduesday last; most of the places of business being closed at three o'clock. The boon is much appreciated by the assistants and others. BOARD OF. GUARDIANS.—The fortnightly meeting of this board was held at the Cardigan Union Work- house on Wednesday, the Rev Henry Jones in 'the chair. There was an extremely small attendance of guardians. The Clerk reported that he had written to the Clerk of the Peace for the county of Cardigan asking the consent of the magistrates for the use of the Grand Jury room, at the Shire Hall, as a place of meeting for the board, instead of the Workhouse. He had received a reply to the effect that the Clerk of the Peace would bring the matter forward at the next Quarter Sessions. The relieving officer for No. 2 district of the Union having tendered his resigna- tion as vaccination officer for the sub-district of Llan- dugwydd, a notice of motion was placed on the book that the board should procced to the election of a successor at the next meeting. One or two removal orders brought the proceedings to a close, the whole business lasting bnt a very short time, being, in fact, the smallest board ever held here.

DOLGELLEY. SCHOOL BOARD, Thursday.—There was no meet- ing of the School Board on Thursday, as there was not a quorum of members present. Several notices of attendances of children at school have been served upon parents of children in default, and after the next meeting we may look forward to the neces- sary issue of several summonses, before the magi- strates are in accordance with the compulsory clause. PETTY SESSIONS, SATURDAY 29TH ULT.—Before Lewis Williams, and H. J. Reveley, Esqrs. Drunk and Disorderly.—Richard Lewis, weaver, Abernant, was charged by P.C. Hugh Griffith with being guilty of this offence on the 18th ult. at Upper Smithfield. Fined 5s. and costs.—Robert Jones, (atias Bob Goch), plasterer, was charged by P.C.

CAPELCYNON. CLERICAL MEETINGS.—The monthly clerical meetings of the rural deanery of Upp--r Sub-Aer-m were held at the above place, on the 26th R-Qd 271h ult. The preachers wer" The liev II. Morgan, rural dean Rev II, Williams, Llanerchaeron Rev W. Rees, Llangnnllo Rev E. Evnns, Llangeitho Rev E. Jones, Llanfthangcl-ar-Arth Rev James Jones, curate of Llangcler Her I). Richards, curate of Llandyssul and Rev D. E. Edwards, New Quay. The weather was favourable, the con. gregations large and attentize, and the sermon* powerful. At a meeting of the clergy of the rural deanery, a resolution was unanimously adopted in favour of the establishment of a Church Extension Society in this diocese, and the rural dean was re- quested to submit the resolution to the bishop. Collections were made towards the funds of the Pastoral Aid Society.

CILGERRAN. ORDER OF A^CIKNT BntTioss.-r-Thnrsday, the 20th ult., will long be remt-mbeted as a red letter day" in this plnce. The Loyal" Princess A'ne" Lodge of the Order of Ancient Britons was then opened here at the Angel Inn," by the officers of the Aberdare district of the Order, when abont 50 members, oil looking thoroughly healthy and strong, were enrolled.

THE UNION ACCOUNTS. THE half-yearly abstract of the accounts of theAberystwythUnion has just been published, J and the pamphlet forms most satisfactory proof that the improvements, which it has been our pleasing duty to record on former occasions, still progress very favourably. Up to the year 1871 the business was sadly mis-managed. In that year, however, Mr Pc-au was appointed chairman of the Board, whilst Mr FRYER was elected vice-chairman, and since that date there has been a steady decrease every half-year in the pauperism of the district. The relief given during the six months ended March 25th, 1871, was larger both as regards the amount of money and the number of paupers than in any antecedent or subsequent half-year. This is shown in a tabulation which appears in the accounts for the first time. During the half- year ended March, 1871, the average weekly number of indoor paupers exclusive of va- grants and lunatics in the asylum, was 33, v. liiie during the half-year ending in March last, the number was augmented to 50, showing an increase of 23, and involving an increased expenditure comparing the two years, of £ 17-5 13s. 3t, Against this, how- ever, must be set the more than propor- tional decrease in the expenditure for out- door relief, for in 1871 no less than 1755 paupers were relieved at a cost of £ 3651 19s. 2d. while, during the six months just ended, the sum had fallen to £ 2561 9s. 6d., given to 1098 paupers, thus showing a reduction of 657 paupers on the relief list of the union, and a saving to the ratepayers of X1090 9s. 8d. The practical use of the house test could not be more convincingly demonstra- ted than by these figures. It will of course be understood that the ratio of out-door relief has decreased, but it cannot be other- wise than gratifying to learn that even during the last twelvemonths it has fallen consi- derably, the ratio of in-door to out-door paupers, taking the weekly average number relieved of each was 1 to 17, while during the corresponding half of last year, the pro- portion was 1 to 23 and it has been con- jectured that in 1871 the ratio stood at about 1 to 45. What has been said of the compara- tive results of the two years above mentioned, holds good, too, with respect to the half-year which has just been brought to a close. The expenditure for in-door maintenance has increased by X 29 15s. llt, while the decrease 4 in out-door relief amounts to £ 220 7s. 2d, and, in .addition to this sum the relatives of paupers have been more steadily dunned for contributions by the relieving officers, and their applications have yielded a net increase of £ 74 Os. 4d. Adding together these latter amounts which form the increase, and deducting X29 15s. 1 Id j, we arrive at the sum of £264 lis. 6fd, which represents the net amount gained in relief during the past six months compared with the corresponding half of last year, a result which the rate- payers cannot fail to appreciate. There has been a great deal of unjustifi- able comment as to the small proportion which it has been untruly alleged out-door paupers receive of the rates, and it has been even added that the salaries of the officers absorb the greater part of the money. How unwarrantable these assertions are may be seen from a table in the accounts, showing the ratio of items to every pound expended. From every sovereign 10s. 3'9d. is devoted 0 to ont-relief; County, Police, and Road Rates take 4s. 0'7d.; in-maintenance costs Is. 3'7d.; the expenditure for lunatics in the asylum amounts to Is. 2'5d., while the salaries of the whole of the officials, including the gra- tuities given recently to the relieving officers, is represented by the fraction 10'7d., in fact, under elevenpence in every pound. Several modes have been devised to employ the in-door paupers, and to render their easy labour remunerative. During the past half- year the sum of d617 16s. has been gained in this way by pig-keeping, and next year we hope to see a financial balance accrue from the cultivation of the additional garden ground which has recently been annexed to the Workhouse. In whatever direction the accounts are examined, one uniform result is seen, the reduction of expenditure, and the consequent lessening of the ratepayers' burdens.

THE TOWN BAND. MUCH time was occupied at the council meeting on Tuesday by the application which was made for the rescinding of the resolution passed in March last respecting the Town Band. The effect of the resolu- tion was to debar all other performers save the band engaged by the Pier Company from playing on the Terrace or in the streets of the town. It is true that "at the time the request was made to the council, the Mayor jocularly asked what he was to do with the itinerant German bands., whose members constantly applied to him for permission to discourse dulcet strains and reap a harvest of coppers.' Such small fry, however, were forthwith relegated to Trefechan, and a resolution was passed off-hand, granting what cannot, in all fairness, be termed other than an extraordinary demand. The effect of the resolution was of a character to give rise to such unprecedented results, that it is not at all too much to say that it never should have been passed. The inhabitants of Aberyst- wyth have every wish for the commercial prosperity of the Pier Company, in fact that it should be otherwise than in a prosperous con- dition would militate against their interests, but they were also bound to be solicitous as to the welfare of Aberystwyth and its attract- ions. That the musical enjoyments open to the visitors should be confined to a band playing at the sea-ward end of a promenade pier, to which admission is charged, was a state of things which could not be allowed to exist. The arrangement would certainly have left a permanent slur upon the repu- tation of the town, "which, together with the Pier Company, would eventually have been damaged by the transaction. When it was found that serious discon- tent had arisen as to the practical gist of the resolution, au offer of both a fair and reason- able nature was made at last Tuesday's council meeting by Mr. Pell,—-that the ex- penses of his band should be divided between the Pier Company and the town, on condition of their being entitled to equal musical privi- lagos, It was impossible, however, to accept it; the fact being that both parties had gone too far to retrace their steps. It will be a matter for great regret should Mr. Pell 0 zn suffer any pecuniary loss by what has trans- pired, but we believe this will not be the case, nor is Mr. Pell, indeed, so devoid of fertility of resource or energy as not to endenvour to render the property, of which he is the managing director, as attractive as ever during the long summer evenings. It certainly behoves the committee to be on the qui vtve as to the musical excellence of their band, for they may bo certain that if Mr. Pell can beat them on their own ground he will certainly do so. The town, we hope, may benefit by the rivalry.

The deceased matriculated taft year, and obtained a IOl. exhibition in the Lent term, the first award in philology and logic in the succeeding term, itid a Wl, exhibition, tenable for three years, in Oct last. Mr Jacob was generally beloved by his fellow students. On Tuesday evening a complimentary concert was given at Carmarthen, to Mr \V. T.
