NOTES AND NOTIONS.
NOTES AND NOTIONS. To the full account we gave in last week's issue of the death of our illustrious neighbour, Lady Helena Faucit Martin, we add to-day an official report of the funeral, which took place on Friday, in Brompton Cemetery, London. Tributes from high quarters, tokens of profound esteem and regret, have continued to pour in as a balm to the aggrieved heart of Sir Theodore, through the irreparable loss he has sustained by the death of his deeply beloved consort. *—.— An elderly female cripple was very rightly con- signed from Llangollen Police Court on Tuesday, for disgraceful conduct and disgusting language in the streets, to gaol for a term. But on Satur- day a burly brute, not unknown to the police, we are told, was allowed to stalk abroad with singular impunity and got clear away. His modus operandi was more simple than elegant. With his tapes and threads and buttons in hand as a "blind," this lout went from door to door,Jand a refusal to patronise him was met with a round of abuse. Conduct of this sort had to have an end, and having unexpectedly suffered a "rough and tumble defeat on the steps of one place of call, the fellow beat a retreat out of town. He will do well not to return. A very important question is at present excercising the minds of Boards of Guardians throughout the country, and at the last meeting of the Corwen Board the subject was ventilated. It is as to whether temporary relief should disfranchise the recipient. The same question will, we believe, be further dealt with at Corwen to-day. At present even temporary parochial relief disfranchises the recipient, and though there may be difficulties standing in the way, experienced Guardians do not as a body incline favourably to disfranchisement. + Llangollen Cycle Carnival, though it may not have been equal in brilliance of display and in cunning of device to a former demonstration, yet was there much in it to be admired and to be amused with. We only regret that at the last y moment a rather serious accident occurred to Mr. Percy Clarke, who had figured so well as Father Christmas. One side of his dress, which was mostly of an inflammable material, took fire, and before it could be extinguished the youth had suffered considerably. He is pro- gressing very nicely, and suffers no pain under skilful treatment. Praise is due in particular to Mr. J. D. Evans, the secretary, for the efforts he made to ensure the success of the carnival from first to last. +—.— Mr. Ralph Darlington, F.H.G.S., is a much- travelled man, and fortunately for his townsmen and others he is not one to hide interesting experiences under a bushel. His recent lectures on his visit to the Holy Land and also to the land of thePharaohs have been a source of manifest delight to hundreds of people in this neighbour- hood. Nor does he yet cry-" Hold, enough," for he promises shortly to give an account of his experiences of his journey up the Nile. We may state that some of the slides he uses for his illustrations through the camera are rare and have been purchased at a great cost. —♦-
RURAL NOTES.
RURAL NOTES. [BY AN 0CCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT.] THE wild nights of howling tempest during the first hours of November have torn the leaves from the trees wholesale, and with every succeeding gust they fell in torrents like driving rain. The arrears of moisture due to us must now have boon delivered, compensation for the long drought surely rendered, the daily drench- ing still continues, though all now cry "hold, enough." The fox hunting season opened last week, and those concerned raised bitter complaints that the land up to the middle of October rendered cub hunting positively dangerous, scent bad, so hardly baked was the ground. This now has been remedied, and with no scarcity of foxes the season is promising, except that bete noire of hunting men, a long frost sets in, as further compensation for three open winters in succes- sion. Then does sly reynard rest in peace, and how he and all his cunning thieving tribe must chuckle as they sse the snow covering the land, the streams bound fast by frost-a. reprive indeed. But turn we to the birds and the astonishing conditions under which many of them exist, some in colonies as rooks and and gulls, others alone as do the birds of prey, the owls and ravens, &c. Reeding the other day a noted naturalist's own observations, quite beyond all doubt, he notices the magnificent sunsets over a western sea, and how a flock of five terns fishing at once arrested his attention. "One suddenly left the other four, and as it approached, now rising now decending on the wing, and again poised with motionless pinions expanded, its piercing eager gaze intent- ly watching the fish below. The moment its prey came near the surface, quick as lightening the wings were closed and down it dropped headlong, so suddenly the eye could scarce follow the movement, and almost immediately the bird was seen sitting quietly on the water, devouring its prey. Once again he soars aloft winging his way towards the shore, when he agaiu dropped into the waves, not thirty yards from my stand point. As he reappeared 1 saw distinctly the prize he had secured, which struggled in vain to regain its freedom. I stood with my gun in readiness and .as he rose from the water fired, and down he came screaming as he fell." And now comes a description anyone might be excused for doubting. "His cries at once brought to his aid the four terns he had left, filling the air with their cries, hovering closely over their wounded companion now drifting ashore with the tide. To my astonishment ere he reached the sands, two of the terns holding the cripple one on each side, lifted him out of the water and thus bore him out to sea. After being thus carried a short distance, he was taken charge of by the other two sound terns, and in this way carried alternately to a rock at some distance. I at once rushed off to secure my prize, and was soon surrounded by a swarm of birds, and these again in alternate pairs bore off their companion far beyony my reach. Willingly I allowed them to perform this astounding act of mercy, I rejoiced at the bird's escape and my own disappointment, as I thus looked on at a most touching scene which otherwise I could scarce have believed possible." On another occasion the same author gives an interesting narrative, as to the proceedings of a couple of turn stones. He saw two birds on the shore at a distance, busily enployed upon a much larger looking object, and perceiving these were not frequenters of that locality, he approached with every care unseen. They were trying to turn over a dead fish six times their size, and he crept into a hollow to watch, their proceedings evinced an unusual degree of sagacity and calculation. Both were trying with bills and brests to turn over the fish and failed, the birds then went to the opposite side and began to scrape away the sand from under it, endeavouring to raise it again in vain. Once more these indefatigable workers renewed their attempts to undermine the fish, with the hope of succeeding in displacing it. After half-an-hour of such labour another turn-stone joined to help, and after much seeming congratulation and thanks, all three set vigorously to work and again tried to raise the obstacle, only to let it sink back as before. Resting now for a time, they renewed their efforts afresh to attain their object, and pushing with breasts close to the sand, using their strong bills as levers beneath, forced the fish up as before. Carefully with- drawing the levers, without allowing the obtsacle to fall back, or losing what they had gained, they applied their breasts with such force, that at last the fish rolled away some distance, the workers all following ere they could regain their standing. At once all rushed up to the place now laid bare, and their rapid movements in feeding showed they were reaping ample reward for their persevering efforts, enjoy- ine the well-earned fruits of their industry. The fish proved to be a cod three feet six long, imbedded in the sand to a depth of full two inches. The turn-stone is only nine inches and a half long, and earns a livelihood as the name implies, by turning over stones on the shore seeking such marine insects or crustacea, as the tide may leave, so much for shore birds! Occasional flashes of colour serve to show that some of our winter pensioners are already at hand, the restless little blue tit, with his big brother as companion, are most conspicuous. The little fawn coloured favourite with black velvet cap, and the cole tit also with his white striped velvet headgear, are not so often seen, the last name excels all others of the species as to beauty of plumage. Though of such small size, none of the tribe equal the blue tit in courage, as every boy must know, for it is 'scarcely possible to force the hen to quit the nest, as she sits on her eggs pecking courageous- ly the intruding fingers, hissing the while in anger just as does a snake. Llangollen, 7th Nov., 180¡¡. —
LOCAL AND DISTRICT.
LOCAL AND DISTRICT. Meeting's were held yesterday of the principal town councils in North Wales and Shropshire for the election of mayors and aldermen. Mr. D. C. Roberts was elected mayor at Aberystwyth, Dr. Parry at Carnarvon, Dr. Morgan at Conway, Mr. E. A. Tumour at Denbigh, Mr. Joseph Hall at Flint, Dr. Aylmer. Lewis at Oswestry, Dr. Medwyn Hughes at Ruthin, Mr. T. P. Deakin at Shrewsbury, Mr. D. Jones at Welshpool, and Mr. R. Williamson at Wrex- ham. A debate on the question whether one Theological College would not be advantageous to the connexion occupied the attention of the Rehoboth C.M. Literary Society on Monday evening. The affirmative side was led by the Rev. Wm. Foulkes, and the negative by Mr. R. E. Roberts, and Messrs. David Jones, Thomas Hughes, R. Llewellyn Hughes, Dr. Davies-Jones, and Mr. Evans also spoke. There was a full house, and on a division, there was a majority of 8, in favour of relaining the two colleges. The annual missionary meeting in connection) with the English Wesleyan Church, Acrefair, was held on Wednesday evening last. The chair was taken by Mr. R. Darlington, Llangollen, who was attired as a Beduin chief, supported by a lady in Bethlehem dress. The Rev. J. S. Haworth gave a very interesting account of his recent visit to Palestine and Egypt, illustrated with GO lime- light views. The annual report which was of a very satisfactory character was read by the Rev. J. W. Millward, Llangollen, to a crowded and enthusiastic audience. Sir Horatio Lloyd had before him in the Wrexham County Court on Wednesday an action brought by the Black Park Colliery Company against three colliers to recover igl2 damages caused through their leaving work without notice, neglect- ing to prop up the place where they had been working, and so causing a serious fall of roof. The Judge reserved his dceision, remarking that the points raised were of great importance to colliers and colliery proprietars. He also reserved judge- ment upon an application affecting the action of the Official Receiver in the ease of Solomon Myers, a Bankrupt, At the "Ladies Meeting" of the Literary Society, which was largely attended, on Wednesday night, Mrs. Denny took the chair. The proseedings opened with a pianoforte duet by Miss Olley and Miss Lloyd Jonea, and Mrs. T. M. Rowlands read a short humorous piece. Mrs. Lias Davies contributed an instructive and thoroughly practical paper on Women's work and her higher culture." She exhorted her hearers to take an interest in that society, and gave advice to young girls on the kind of literature they should read. Mrs. Lewis also gave a reading, and Mrs. A. Hughes followed with the famous Shakespearean funeral oration of Marck Anthony over the body of Ctesar, A song was contributed by Mrs. Coward, and Miss Bessie Evans sang I- Daddy." On the motion of Miss Heslop, seconded by Mrs. Lias Davies, a vote of thanks was passed to Mrs. Denny for presiding over an entertainment which had been thoroughly enjoyed. Whilst the above was proceeding the male members were entertaining themselves in the Infants' Board Schoolroom. The first part of the evening was given to impromptu speeches. Fifteen members very readily took part and spoke upon various topics. During the second part of the evening songs and readings were given by the followingMessrs. Geo. and Hid Thomas, H. Dakin, Pendleton, E. D. Jones, and W. C. Dodd. Mr. H. R. Olley, B.A., was in the chair, and the success of the evening was to a very great extent undoubtedly due to the very able manner in which he presided. The meeting closed with the usual votes of thanks and the singing of Hen Wlad fy Nhadau" and God Save the Queeu."
