As stationmaster at Llanfihangel you have for ten and a half years served the Cambrian Railway Company and the public to their great satisfaction. Your promotion by the company to an inspectorship on the line is an unmistakeable recognition of your past services. The subscribers wish you to look upon this small testimonial as a proof of the apprecia- tion of your services by the public. Your I promptitude, rectitude and civility have gained universal recognition and respect The artistic manner in which you have always kept the station so beautifully laid out with choice flowors needs more than passing praise. We cannot let this opportunity pass without referring to your earnest and successful efforts in connection with temperance. As secretary to the branch of the C.E.T.S. at Llanfihangel you have done immense good, and the members and all friends of temperance in the neighbourhood deplore your departure, and now seeing that your sphere is greatly enlarged the friends of i emperance hope that your influence in ths tdirection will be correspondingly larger. We can assure you that this testimonial was most willingly subscribed to amongst many good wishers. We will not say more, but beg of you to accept this purse and its contents as a small token of the esteem in which you are held on the eve of your departure. We sincerely trust that you will for many a long year enjoy your usual robust health to do your duty in your new and enlarged sphere. And may the blessing of Almighty Ged rest upon you and your family. Mr Gough, in returning thanks, said-I really do not know how to find words to adequately express my feelings on this occasion, but I can assure you that I feel most grateful to Mr Morgan, yourself, and the 54 kind friends who havejoined to fill this purse. I may say that this lptt kindness is more than I deserve or expected, seeing that within the last eighteen months such a beautiful monument was erected by public subscription to the memory of my I poor son, who lost his life through an unfortunate accident at Llanfihangel station. Gentlemen, my heart is full, and I cannot give vent to my feelin: Your kindness, and that of the other good friends, «"•« the ead occasion of the death of my dear son, and now again when in the course of providence I have to sever my connection with you, is such that I shall never forget. Such repeated marka of liberality and kindness do not fall to the lot of many men. Please accept my most sincere thanks, and convey the same to the other subscribers. I thank yon for the purse and its contents, and 1 thank yon ?.l "> for the kind and good wishes with which the purse and money have been handed to me.
