FROM ] Hie Aberystwyth Observer, 1860, MARCH 3KD. THE LATE GALE.—On Sunday last we were visited by a violent storm, which continued with unbared fury during the whole of Monday, and most part of Tuesday. So s* ere was it during Sunday night that much apprehension was felt for the safety of the steamer Plyn- i-mon," which bad sailed that morning -a, this porI; for Liverpool but we are I" happi to learn that she has safely arrived at her destination after a fearfully rough passage. The wind early on Tuesday morning was so strong that it kept the large church bell ring- ing for hours as regnlar as if it had been done by the hand of man. THE JAYE WILLIAMS."—Intelligence has been received that thè above schooner, belong- ing to this port, which was but lately launched, I had been ran ashore at Afcersocb, having struck on Sarn Patrick, near Pwllheli, where she sustained severe damage, but it is hoped she can, be got off. She is insured in the Aber- ystwyth Society. DEATH BY DKOWKTN«. —On Saturday, the 25th ult., as the smack" John James," of this port, was entering Chester river, the boom struck a poor boy, of the name of Rees Evans, overboard, aIild was unfortunately drowned ere he could bo recovered. LTANBADARN.—PRESENTATION OF PLATE.— On Thursday evening last the Rev John Pugh, the highly esteemed aud respected curate of Llanbadarn Fawr, was presented by the mem- bers of the Church Sunday School at that place with a beautiful s-ilver teapot and cream ewer, of the value of £ 20. The presentation took place at the Schoolroom, Mr Evan Killin acting as chairman. Mr Pugh, on receiving the testimonial, in a long and able speech, thanked the donors for so flattering a mark of their approbation. INDEPENDENT ORDER OF ODDFELLOWS.— The brothers of the St. David's Lodge of Oddfellows, in this town, joined by those of the Rheidol Lodge, celebrated their anniversary on Thursday last by a procession and dinner. It had been anticipated for some time past that the meeting this year would be more than usually attractive, and preparations were accordingly made for an increased number of guests, and for the proceedings being con- ducted on a grand scale. The lodge was established in 1839, and has of late years greatly extended in regard to the number of members, and its consequent sphere of useful- ness. The morning was all that could be desired. At 10 o'clock tho brothers met at Host John Hughes's, the Prkiee Albert Inn, from which pi-see they proceeded to Llanbadarn Church in procession, headed by the Bronwydd Band, under the able leadership of Mr Jones. The members, being gaily dressed in their sashes and aprons, carried the regalia of the order, belonging to the Liverpool district, had for the occasion, free of expense to the lodge, by Brother H. O. Holmes, to whom, for this as well as other generous acts, the brethren are greatiy indebted, and to whose indefatigable exertions to promote the objects of this nobl j institution the success of OddfeHows in this town is mainly attributable. The old parish church waq well filled by a numerous congre- gation. Prayers were read by the Rev John A, curate, and the sermon was preached oy tha Ven. Archdeacon Hughes (from Psalm 8), which was listened <o with great attention. After the sermon the members retained to town, and paraded the principal streets. When passing the houses of Colonel ..veil, M P.. and H. O. Holmes, Esq. (both oeiug members of the order1, and the Mayor's, Robert Edward, Esq.. the procession stopped, and all joined in giving them hearty cheers. The dinner took place in the Corn Market, which was beautifully decorated with flags of 'I all nations, &c. Upwards of 150 members and guests were present, and the attendance ot strangers presented a striking feature in the day's proceedings, and was a strung and con- vincing proof, if any were needed, of the re-ipeer, in which the lodge of Oddfellows is hekl by their more affluent friends and neigh- bours. This will no doubt stimulate them to Turther exertions in their charitable work, and. cause them more fully to carry out their I "xeelient intentions oi affording relief and assistance to the brethren, and of making the widow's heart to sit g for joy. The chair was taken by H. O. Esq., supported by our esteemed MaJor. the duties of vice-chair- man being ably sustai a d by David Roberts, Esq. NEW QtT,kY. ,il new brig, the Aeron Vale," wns successfully launched at this place on Saturday last at shoot eight o'clock in thi- morning. A large concourse of people collected to witness the sight, but something having impaired the cradle the ceremony «a> put off till about three o'clock in the afternooi Iff I ue spectators were by that time much morc numerous than in the morning, and heart\ cheers were reiterated during the time she made the run.

f ABERYSTWYTH IS NO EXCEPTION. The press of our neighbouring towns teems with instances of local men and women who -w. are frankly aud unreservedly speaking out for the sake of others. It is gratifying to know that here in our own town this generous feel- ing is not lacking. But it is even more grati- fying to know that the Aberystwyth state- ments made mauy years ago are heartily endorsed to-day. Mr E.

LLANBADARN PETTY SESSIONS. THURSDAY. Before Dr Morgan, chairman, Messrs B. E. Morgan, J. G. Hughes-Bonsall, Henry Bonsall, George R Pryse, and J. T. Davies, Mayor of Aberystwyth. NO LIGHT. Isaac Evans, The Exchange, Capel Bangor, was charged by Supt. Richard Jones with having driven a waggon on the highway at Capel Bangor without having a lighted lamp attached thereto, at 8 p.m. on February 19th. P.C. Rees Davies, Goginan, said that at 1 8.5 on Friday night, the 19th inst., he saw the defendant driving a loaded waggon drawn by two horses, which were trotting on the I highway at Peullwyn. He stopped the defen- dant and asked for an explanation, and the defendant replied that he had to wait in town II (or some bedsteads at a sale. The defendant also admitted having been cautioned in December last. I The defendant, who did not appeal") waa « fined 2s. 6d. and costs. A WILD NIGHT. I Thomas Joseph Hannan, Goginan, labourer, ] was brought up on remand and charged by II Edward Llewelyn Nowell, Dollwen, Goginan, < retired hairdresser, with wilfully damaging household furniture, valued at £ 65, the pro- perty of complainant, at Goginan on Feb. 20th. The evidence given by P.O. Rees Davies at the previous bearing was now read. The Constable added that when he charged the 1 accused at the house with having committed the offence, that the accused said "I won't say anything now." At the Police Station, Goginan, the accused further said, He ordered me out of the house after I repaired it up; now he's without a home, so am I. He's the instigator and I am not a bit sorry for what I did. I want my wife to be at my trial so as to know what she's going to do. I did this because she deserted me sinca last Saturday night and by her father's vVishes she is stayiug away. I broke the things with a hammer, the handle of which broke. My wife and I wouid be quite happy but for the old man. I am sorry now that I came over the Atlantic. They would not let me know of my wife's whereabouts." The Complainant said he lived at Dollwen, Goginan, and that the accused was his son-in- law. He was sleeping alone on Friday night last and was disturbed between eleven and twelve o'clock by the accused, who came into the house. The accused walked up and down the stairs a great deal sharpening a knife and razor, and ultimately started br.,ak;ng the things, commencing at his (the witness' bed The sewing machine he said was smashed into about fifty pieces, also the piano, china, glass, furniture and three or four mirrors. the total damage which he estimated to be from C60 to £ 65. He had previously warned the accused not to come to the house. He (the witness) was turned out of the house and had to go for the police in his stocking feet, as the accused had thrown his shoes away. The witness added that he was the tenant and that all the furni- ture was his property. Supt. Jones: Have you anything to say Hanaan ? Accussed: Nothing at all; I am not a bit sorry for what I have done, because he's used me bad. He's the whole cause of my wife seperating and he bad tried it a long time outside that I have nothing more to say. In reply to the Bench the Constable said the accused was quite sober. ( Supt. Jones said the accused had been con- victed twice for drunkenness. Accused replying to a question by the Bench said he was an American citizen but had been born in Ireland. 1. The Bench consulted in private for some time and the Chairman said the accused would be committed to the next Quarter Sessions for trial.
------__---__-_."GOLDEN BUTTER,"
"GOLDEN BUTTER," The buying public is so largely influenced by the appear;inee of butter, that the butter producer is compelled to pay attention to .this point, es- pecially as the foreigner is very careful to see that his butter has that golden yellow colour which is so much preferred In fact that point undoubtedly .accounts for much of the success which the foreigners gain over English (and undeniably better) butter. The public always prefer the rich looking golden butter to the paler kind. Very well, the English producer has his remedy, and a very safe one ii is. Sii.ver Churn butter colouring will give his but- ter a uniform golden yellow without deteriorating it in the smallest degree. On the contrary "Silver Churn" may be fairly said to enhance the delicate creamy flavour of the butter. "Silver Churn" Butter Colouring is entirely free from aniline, being a purely vegetable product. It is not a mere experiment, for it has passed the severest tests at many of the principal Shows, gaining First Class Awards, and is highly praised in the numerous dairies where it is regularly used. It never gives uneven or muddy" colouring, and dues not effect the butter milk. We say emphatically that Silver Churn But- ter Colouring is a big and real help to the pro- ducer, enabling him to cater for the public taste in an eminently satisfactory manner. The 'Silver burn brand is manufactured by Oldfield Pattiri- son & Co New Bridge street, Manchester, a firm whose standing and reputation are themselves a sufficient guarantee of merit. The colouring is obtainable from Chemists and Dairy Supply Men, in 6d., Is., 2s., 5k, 8s. and 14s. bottles.

The Assessment Committee recommended payment of the following fees for valuation of property at Bow street: Mr R Gardiner £ 6 6s. Od., Mr Stephen Owen Ri Is. Od. EXAMINATION OF IMBECILES. At ?? recent meeting the Board decided to cali upon the Medical Officers to submit a statement as to their reasons for treating the imbeciles under their charge as such. It was stated that Dr. Bonsall had not sent in his returns and on the motion of Mr E J Evans, it was decided to call upon him for an explanation. FEES OF MEDICAL MEN. The Clerk reported receipt of a letter from Dr. Bonsall in reply to a letter sent to him by the Finance Committee of the House.Air W Thomas proposed that, in accordance with a resolution of the Board all communications from the doctor should be in writing, that the letter be sent to the Finance Committee. Dr Bonsall said he could not address the Board only by letter and there were statements in his letter that ought to be made public.—Mr Edwin Morris seconded the proposition which was carried.—The Assistant Clerk presented the report of the Finance Committee which recommended that subject to the approval of the Local Government Board a gratuity of R8 8s. Od. be awarded to Dr. Bonsall to enable him to pay for services rendered in connection with the cases of Richard Walters, D Evans, Mary Ann Williams, and Maria Wilson, viz., S5 5s. Od. in the case of Richard Walters (and tl Is. Od. in each of the othere cases. The amount claimed was £ 15 15s. Od. —Mr B E. Morgan proposed the adoption of the report.—In seconding. Mr W. Thomas said there was a feeling at the Committee meeting that £5 5s was too much to pay in one case, but the majority agreed to do what he con- sidered was reasonable and honourable. But it appeared that there was a certain uneasiness regarding the three cases in which £ 1 Is each was allowed for administering aniesthetics. It was clear that in other unions a less amount was allowed but as the Board had allowed £ l Is in previous cases he thought the same should be allowed in these cases. Mr E. J. Evans proposed as an a Amendment that they pay £ 3 3s in the case of Walters and 10s 6d in each of the other cases. He con- sidered that 25 5s. was too much to pay in the case of Walrers. According to the clinical statement submitted by Dr. Bonsall, a cure was effected on the previous occasion and Walters was able to do light work in the work- house garden, so that the- abscess from which he suffered was quite a different complaint and he could not see that, its treatment required the attendance of more than one medical man. He was willing to pay what he considered was reasonable and to allow Dr. Bonsall assistance in administering anaesthetics. Dr. Bonsall had given as a reason for not being present at the operation that there were other cases requiring his attention, but in his opinion there were no cases of urger cy to which the doctor might be called. He believed he was acting rightly in propos- ing that R3 33 should be allowed for that case, which covered the fee for the medical attend- ance and administering anaesthetics. In the case of Maria Wilson, he was not satisfied as to why Dr Bonsall did not remove the patient to the Infirmary, as he had tried to do in other cases. There was a night staif in the Infir- mary, and he thought it was a suitable case for treatment there It appeared as if Dr Bonsall did not act with fairness toward the Infirmary staff when he attended to the cases which were comparatively easy. but sent the most difficult cases to the Infirmary. That was neither fair to the Guardians whom he served, nor to the Infirmary staff. He did not agree with the recommendation to pay £ 1 Is in respect of each of the three cases. In most unions 10s 6d was allowed, and it was hardly fair that a poor union should have to pay the full fee. He. therefore, proposed an amendment that £ 3 3s Od should be allowed in the case of Walters and 10s 6d in each of the other cases. ) —The Rev T. A. Penry said he did not intend j speaking but Mr Evans compelled him to do ) so and to say that he did not agree with what, had been said. In one respect Mr Evans aad answered himself because every one worad see the animus with which he was actuated in the matter by impnting motives M the worse kind to most of the medical '.sien. It was most unfair to say anything ot the kind about public men. They were professional men and ought to command the confidence of the Board, at any rate, so far as the treatment of the sick poor arc concerned. He s • id nothing about the charges but most probably they were quite as much above as the MHH offered was too low. They would wain the services of the medical men again and they should not antici- pate the recommendations of the Poor Law Commission that Board of Guardians were going to be swept away at once, and they knew very well there was not, for some reason or other, ready access to the Infb rnary. For this reason the Board ought to treat them fairly and not impute to them the very worse of motives.—Mr Evans, interrupting, said he had not imputed motives to any outside doctor. —Rev T. A. Penry: Well you have to our own doctor. My experience is that a gninea is the usual charge lor administering chior- form and I think in a pubi c institution of this bind it is only fair to comply with the ordinary regulations.- Mr VV. Thomas: I intended to say that the ordinary fee for this service is £ 1 Is.—No one offered to seeopd the amend- ment and Mi* Evans said as he had had his .O- t say he withdrew it.-Mr B. E. Morgan thought the doctor should be allowed to speak as it was most unfair if he should not.—The Chair- man said a resolution had been passed that the doctor should not be allowed.Mr Morgan: I say it is unfair.—Mr W. Thomas said he did not approve of everything said by Mr Evans, but he upheld the resolution referred to.—It was resolved to uphold the resolution and the recommendation of the Committee was carried.

Jones, B Sc., U.C.W. Agricultural Department, Aber- ystwyth. The farmers of the neighbourhood attended in force, and were well repaid for their trouble.

The chair was filled by Mr J. G. Morris Davies, J.P., Bafod, who in a racy review of the lecture added some valuable hints from his own experience of farming and farmers." He also proposed a hearty vote of thanks to the lecturer. A vote of thanks to the Chairman was proposed by Rev T. Mason Jones, 0.0.. Trisant. Both votes were assented to with acclamation.
