LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. EXCURSION BY THE VALE OF NBATH AND SOUTH WALES RAILWAYS.—It will be observed by an advertisement in another column, that the second company's excursion of the season is an- nounced to start on Saturday evening (to-morrow) next. There is no doubt but that a large number of our fellow-townsmen, and also of the residents of Aberdare, will avail themselves of this oppor- tunity of seeing their friends at a distance, and also of enjoying a pleaqant trip at the sea-side. So far the railway arrangements of the Vale of ZSTeata Company in the conduct of their excursion trains have been most satisfactory, and should this excursion party number even thousands we are sure that all will be conducted with the punctu- alityand regularity of an ordinary train. Last Saturday they conveyed the Cyfarthfa club— nurturing, we believe, about 1,500 members- to Swansea, and throughout the journey every pp*on. folk.gratified with the perfection of the railw,s$l arrangements and the courtesy evinced -M, tHejofficials. -v. 15^ AFFLICTED.—It is seldom that our town is visited by a skilfu! professional chiropodist, or extractor of corns and bunions, but for the last few days, and until Wednesday next, we have a resident here whose skill in these delicate opera- tions is established by testimonials of the highest character. To all afflicted with these painful growths on the feet we would recommend atten- tion to Mr. Anderson's advertisement in our first page. RIFLE SHOOTING-.—It is a fact that must be observable to every one, that whatever Merthyr people are determined on doing they do with a heartiness which generally produces excellence. Not many days ago our Cyfarthfa band competed against the private bands of the United Kingdom, and not only did they return with a valuable prize, conferring honour on the entire company, but when a solo had to be performed one of its members stopped forth and astonished the hun- dreds of musicians by the excellence of his per- formance, and triumphantly won the highest prize. Again, this place has not until lately been eminent for producing crack rifle shots, but it being known that thera was to be a general com- petition. in rifle shooting, a few mot together for practice, and on the day of trial one of them came off with honour amongst the best shots of not only this kingaom but Switzerland also. This week there was another rine shooting contest at Cardiff, for a prize to the best shot among the volunteers of the eonuty. A youth from Merthyr, (Mr. John Wil'iam Jenkins, of the Glebeiand), who until a few weeks ago had never fired a shot, modestly stood among the veteran "stars," and at the hour of action so far excelled—or rather eclipsed LI,pm-th;it the highest prize was awarded him. This consisted of a beautifully finished Lancaster Title and sword bayonet, of the estimated value of £20, which he here off amid the cheers of the populace, and the astonishment of lis competi- tors, Mr. Jenkins is a member of the 2nd GHarr^rgansbire rifle corps, and his victory is naturally looked upon with exceeding pleasure by his fellow members. FLOWER GABD £ -NS-—Complaints have reached us of the wanton miiccnduet ;f persons unknown in destroying the flowers in front of the houses in Union Street. Instead of wishing to destroy we would think passers by would be pleased wrh the treat of sight and perf ume, and rather thank the owners than seek to injure them. In some cases we hear that flowers have been stolen, roots and all pulled up and taken away. This act, whatever the perprtators may think; is as much a robbery as entering a house and stealing goods. As an example is wanted, doubters had better try and see what estimation the public will have of them, and what opinion Mr. Fowler will give. TRESPASSERS.—A friend suggests that instead of the notices conspicuously placed in every green field, and frowning over green lanes at innocent lovers of ruralities.some yet more strongly worded should have been used. In his opinion these notices, coarse and ill-mannered we called them, were mild as the meekest sky-blue milk compared with those required. He would suggest that every proprietor of a green field, no matter how small, every owner of a little wood, or a green lane, that by law can be claimed as private pro- perty, do at once issue such a notice as this. The public only permitted to enter this place o»«, the following conditions, which must be followed under pain and penalty of the severest rigour of the lawCouples not allowed to walk abreast, husband and wife not to walk arm in arm, all crinolines, sticks, and umbrellas to be left at home, no child under ten permitted, no nurse- maid allowed to walk with any one having the appearance of a sweetheart, no dogs allowed, but in case one should enter and be caught wagging 'his tail he will at once be shot. These conditions he thinks would hara the desired effect. HOWELL'S SCHOOL, LLANDAPP.—We are in- formed that this insxilutton for orphan girls will be opened on the llsliif Auarust. Thirty foun- dationers have been eledtetf almost entirely from the Principality. Twenty-three pay-boarders have also been elected out of the total number of thirty. Three children resident in Merthyr have been admitted on ti^e foundation, namely, Helen Doughty, daughter^aMr. Doughty, commercial traveller Elizabeth Williams>% who is under the care of her aunt Mrs, and Mary Swidenbank, daughter of the late Mr. Swiden- ,bank, cashier at the Penydarian works. All the children will receive a superior education, in- cluding French, music, and drawing. The foun- dationers will also be envied to £100 each, to be applied towards advancingNtvem in life, or as a marriage portion. It is to be egrettecl that the foundation does not /Rroiifte foe still larger numbers, but it shouldHofJbe forgorhm that the sister-school at D^Rjuga oy^tpss another set of sixty girls, and that tnefes arc nip ot^r institutions of this kind in Wales. T^e slhools are open to the children of Churchmen anE Nonconformists alike, the only principle whicurhas governed the nomination of candidates, being the preference of those, who, by the death of one or both parents and other circumstances, have lost their prospect of a superior education (such as is given in these schools), which otherwise they would have enjoyed.

CEFNCOEDYCYMMER. — BAND OF HOPE.-On Monday last, the members of the Band of Hope belonging to the Calvinistic Methodist Chapel in this place, celebrated their annual tea drinking in the Temperance Hall. The proceedings of the day commenced at two (^clock, in 'the chapel, when after the usual busm^ was disposed of, the members formed a proces&iqn and proceeded with their flags aHd other insighqi through the streets, singing merely until tiiey Arrived at the Hall, which was ver^c, tasteiiMy and., prettily adorned for the occasion noff cpljT with>flowers and evergreens, but with Tsi^e mqrtfusefnf orna- ments of maps and pictures o^Jcaaroa^desighed to illustrate some of the moatyStriaing events connected with our religion, &c.xTli<r tea was capital, and the children enjoyed themselves and did justice to it, after which they favoured the company with some pieces of music, which they executed well, to the pleasure and satisfaction of all present. After one or two short speeches had been given, the children returned to the chapel, and again about seven o'clock went to the hall, which was now filled by the Band of Hope and their friends and after the opening of the meet- ing by the Rev.

MERTJIYR JUVENILE RIFLE CORPS.—This corps is making very considerable progress in their drill, and a marked improvement is already mani- fest in the bearing of the members. They appeared fcr the first time on parade last evening in their uniform, and looked remarkably well, and went through their movements for the first time on grass, in a field at Thomas Town, very creditably, it being very much more difficult to march on grass than on any hard ground. On reference to an advt. in another column, it will be seen that an out-door fete has been got up for them, to take place on a very picturesqu^spofc at Yscybor Newydd farm, which is easilySaccessibie from Thomas Town. It is being^ot up r a committee of highly respectable ladies, assisted-by the hon. secretaries; and as both corps with the 'band will attend, we have no doubk.it will (go <fff with con- siderable eclat. CRICKET MATCH.—The Pri'm^oseHill Cricket Club, composed almost entirely of juveniles, having obtained a victory about a fortnight ago over the Plymouth c'ub, consisting of aduit players, a return match came off on Thursday. The Plymouth club had the first innings and made 17, aiter which the youths went iu and made 60. lii the second innings uf the Plymouth club they made 39-thus in the two innings a total of fifi, which being four short of the marks made by the Primrose Hill club gave the latter a victory over their opponents of tour m one innings. We hope this defeat will not phjtu the death of the Plymouth club, but that it may rather conduce to a greater attention on the part of the members to practice, and thus they may hope at some time or other £ o attain a position of eminence as they do now of honour among the clubs ot the district. Mr. HrJm 2-tid an referoe for the Plymouth club, and Mr. Doughty for tin; Primrose Hill club, aDd both .-enilemen gave perfect satidifts^ion by their wise decisions. ,v

PRESENTATION. IT having come to the knowledge of the friends of Mr. Davies, Victoria-street, at Zoar chapel, that he was about to remove to Llaridaffj it was at once determined by them to present him with some mark of their esteem, and of their appre- ciation of the valuable services he had rendered the church at Zoar during the many years he hsd been connected with it. For this purpose a com- mittee, resenting the entire church and Sunday schfiol wassb<>jjvened, and it was determined by tfoa^histbsJimcmial should be in the form oflNy £ ehet» on ca aRS. Immediately on this d known large sums of money were offered, but the committee very wisely arranged that in order to give every opportunity for an ex- tended subscription the sums received should be of smail amount, so as to make the testimonial a more perfect representative of the general respect entertained for Mr. Davies, So general was this feeling of regard that we believe scarcely a single acquaintance of Mr. Davies in Zoar, but that offered his mark of respect, thus the chief difficulty < f the committee was to restrain rather than induce the liberality of the subscribers. When the necessary amount had been received the order for a likeness was given to our talented townsman Mr. W. E. Jones, and well did he secondvthe wishes of the committee, for a more lifeWks Msepess we never beheld. As a work of art, fcleXioTy-SQOt it will add to the already e8tablMte&- reputation ot Mr. Jones, whilst as a correct ilkeness of Mr. Davies, it was the general opinion of all who saw it that nothing but the living prototype could excel it. The presenta- tion took place at the Temperance Hotel, Glebe- land-street, where a few of the representatives of the church met, and after partaking of asocial cup of tea together, the Rev. Mr. Owen wasN, invited to preside, and on behalf the committee to make the presentation to Mr. Davies. Mr. C Owen remarked that he had been on the most, intimate terms with Mr. Davies for 25 years. He had stood in many connections with the church; had been appointed twenty-two years ago as assistant superintendent of the Sunday school, and about sixteen years ago as superin- tendent, was afterwards appointed deacon in con- junction with Mr. Price, and in every rela- > tionship he found that his aims were to extend the prosperity of the church and establish peace and affection among the members and congregation. He should have been rejoiced had Mr. Davies have continued to occupy the offices which he so worthily filled, but Providence had no doubt wisely ordained that he should be removed to a wider sphere of useful- ness. He (Mr. Owen) had lately visited Mr Davies at hTs newly-adopted home, and though he could not have been but comparatively a stranger, yet during the short time he had lived near Melyn Griffith, Mr. Davies was recognized as a godly man, diligent in business but serving the Lord." There were many obstacles which a minister had to overcome in carrying out his sacred duties, and he could speak from experience when he stated that it was impossible for any pastor to have a more faithful friend than he had found Mr Davies to be. He was always a most valuable help to him in every effort which the church had made to. extend the truths of the Gospel—his upright conduct was an example io others, whilst his zeal and never-failing liberality very largely promoted the success which attended the church in the various means which it had adopted to promote every christian virtue. He was a man whose good example and business habits endeared him to every member of the church, all of whom now joined him in wishing Mr. Davies greattemporal prosperity and christian happiness. He bad much pleasure on behalf of himself and the other subscribers to hand him the portrait, which they hoped would be sufficient to testify to the regard entertained for him in the neighbourhood. Mr. David Price knew Mr. Davies 32 or 35 years, and attended the Sunday school class which he had joined at that time.. He entertained for him the highest respect, and joined with Mr. Owen in handing him the testimony of their regard. Mr. J. Gabe had known Mr. Davies 23 years, and had always found him a just man, and a friend at heart. He had witnessed many indications of his kindness and liberality, especially to those whose circumstances rendered friendly consider- ation particularly desirable. Mr. Davies, inreply, said his feelings had so quite overcome him, that he could not express the gratitude he felt by the honour conferred upon him by such a presentation. In removing from Merthyr he experienced a severe conflict between what he cdnceived to be his duty and his feel- ings. The latter prompted him to remain, but the former bid him move to another and a wider sphere, the duties of which—both social and reli. gious-preyed much upon his mind. He had no desire to make a fortune, for thellove of money, but he hoped for the purpose of doing more good. The thought had always been a source of encou- ragement to him in his business, that he had sprung from a humble class in society. In all his soeculations he felt that whatever in the order of Providence became of his wealth, he could again take rank among the working population and labour for his support. This had especially been the case during the last four years—a period of unexampled depression and uncertainty in the iron trade, during which many firms of estab- lished credit had been compelled to succumb to the pressure of the times. If it was the order of Providence that the iron trade in this district ..ho'ild again advance into prosperity, as he be- lit ved it was, it was their intention to enlarge considerably their works, and he hoped to advance proportionately the comfort and remuneration of their workmen. "If," said Mr. Davies, "lean benefit my countrymen, that itself would be deem- ed a sufficient rl ward, and having had ample proof that I have the good wishes of those in my em- ployment, I shall be quite content to sacrifice the pleasure I feel in residing at Merthyr for their happiness. It had bsen predicted by many that our native town is about to decline, but looking at the present prospects he did, not think that Merthyr had yet passed her meridian of pros- perity. The home trade itself may ere long be sufficIent to keep the iron works of the country in full employment, and even now, with all the slackness, there was no ac- cumulation of stock as there had been in the recollection of many present. He thought a time would speedily come when India, Australia, China, the Continent of Europe, and even Africa, would make great demands for the iron of this district, for as civili- zation extended, and the people became politically free, so would enpital be invested in developing thp resources of these countries to which lie alluded, anil how could these resources be developed but by the extension of K'.ihvays ? Itwasp.ot his wish thi.tthe iron trade in the North oi England should decline, but we do not fear that district will monopolize our trade. 11 was well known that to produce one ton 01 iron there was consumed two tons of coal, and if their difficulties to get coal were put opposite our difficulty to get iron mine, then we should see that we need not long despair of being placed on an eQllal footing for cm petition with them. These small men of the IVort.h now work near the surface, but when they get deep we shall find thrt then even they will re- quire higher profits than they now appear content with. Though aov'Ut to remove from Merthyr, it was his good fortune not to go awav to any great distance from the place of his birth, and from that Sunday school to which ho was indebted for the only education he had ever re- ceived, and to wh-h, in coojunr-iion with Mr. David P 'ice, his Sunday school ioachsr, iie would ever look with grateful re;embranco. To meet a Merthyr man was always a happiness to him, bat this gift would make him ieei still more attached and obligated to its inha- bitants. He should never forget the kindness of his friends, and the portrait would be always regarded as the most valuable treasure in his house, not merely for its worth, though that must have been considerable," but as it was an indication of their respect. A few more re- marks were offereu, after which Mr. Davies, almost overcome with emotion, resumed his seat. Several other gentlemen addressed the meeting in proposing resolutions expressive of thanks to the artist, Mr. Wilkins, and the chairman, and on the last lteing proposed by the Rev. G. Roberts, he suggested that the Rev. chairman, whose labours in the town, and in the connection generally, were most valuable, was worthy of acknowledgment in a substantial manner, and he thought a portrait of him would be a suitable offering. Immediatelv this suggestion was made it was eagerly taken up by those present, and in a few minutes a
