CHURCH AND CHAPEL. It is stated on the authority of the Rev. Cuyler, that the number of students for the ministry of the Presbyterian Church in Ameriea has fallen from 959 to 787. The Rev. William D. Evans, of Ceidio has accepted the pastorial charge of the Morfa Congregational Church, Nefyn, in addition to the churches at present under his ministerial charge in South Carnarvonshire. The inaugural address of the 1899-1900 session of the Llandudno Llenorfa was delivered on Friday evening by the Rev. Dr. E. Pan Jones, of Mostyn, who took as his subject, The late Principal Micheal D. Jones, the Welsh Patriot." The Rev. R. Peris Williams, of Wrexham, occupied the chair, and there was a large attendance. According to a, report just issued by the Merioneth- shire Congregational Union, there are 12H churches, chapels, and preaching stations in the county, with 5,483 communicants. The number of Sunday scholars on the books is 6,519. A large gathering of representative Wesleyans assembled at the Centenary Hall, Bishops-gate-street, London, on Friday evening, to give the Rev. Edward P. Lowry, military chaplain, Aldershot, a suitable "send off." Sir George Hayter Chubb presided, and the general missionary secretaries and other heads of departments were present. Sir George Chubb remar- ked that, whatever their views might be in relation to the cause of the present war, now that it had begun it was their duty to look after the spiritual interests of the brave men who were fighting their country's battle's. The Rev. R. W. Albert, chaplain by the forces, spoke in high terms of the Rev. E. P. Lowry, who was going out in the Nubia with the First Army Corps. No chaplain was better known in the British army, and his lengthened service and devotion to duty had made him a great favourate at Aldershot.

VRONCYSSYLLTAU LITERARY SOCIETY. On Wednesday night last the second meeting of the recently-formed debating society was held in the Temperance Hall, when Mr. H. Jones presided over a good attendance. The secretary, Mr. Morris Roberts, reported that the representative which had been elected, had drawn up a set of rules for the government of the society, and stated that it had been suggested that the organisation should be known as the Vroncyssylltau Literary Society." After the reading of the rules formulated, their adop- tion was proposed by Mr. Jonah Griffiths, seconded by Mr. James Davies, and unanimously confirmed. The subject of the evening was an interesting one, Which is the more beneficial to the community, the farmer or the miner." Mr. John Wright in championing the claims of the miner said that the various minerals and countless treasures of the world including coal, iron, copper, lead, and tin were procured through the medium of the miner. He contended that human beings could not survive without the services of the miner as it was through his aid that his fellowman, the farmer, was enabled by the latest agrecultural implements to cultivate the earth te the best advantage. Coal gladdened the heart of man, and it was a fact not generally recognised that three-fourths of the community developed the initial efforts of the miner, notably in the thousands who were employed in iron and steel works. Important productions included railways, the telegraph and telephone, and in many ways the products of mining had enabled men of genius to bring into use many beneficial methods of business. Again Britain was now defending her rights in the Transvaal war, and could the farmer substitute anything in plaee of the powerful cannons, the rifles, bayonets, and quick-firing guns ? It was through these agencies that Britain was able to pronounee herself conqueror of the world, and these were developed out of the metal produced by mining. The miner sacrified his life for the benefits of society, and he thought a miner should never be despised:—Mr. James Davies advanced the claims of the farmer, and remarked that it was man's idea to probe deeply into the earth, but it was God's will for humanity to till the surface of the earth which had been from the time of the creation of the world. The question to him was whether a miner could face his daily work without having partaken of food provided through the medium of agriculture. The very clothing work was the product of a farmer's toil. An interesting discussion ensued in which Messrs. M. Roberts, J. Delaney, J. Dicken, and J. Evans took part. Both leaders having replied a vote was taken, and the claims of the farmer were supported by a large majority. A vote of thanks was aecorded the chairman, and arrange- ments were made for the next meeting, when pros and cons will be considered as to the advisability of lighting Vroneyssylltau by some means or other. This subject is worthy of full consideration, and methods of illuminating the streets, even if primitive would undoubtedly be extremely beneficial. '^||*u>|ti|i>i)i«3w—a—a—^——HBoagMBWi

THE VALE OF LLANGOLLEN. Because "I only pity those who have not visited this beautiful Valley. It has been my fortune to travel over a good portion of Europe, but in all Europe I have never seen anything that had come home thoroughly to my heart for its exceeding beauty, for the home charm of the scenery, mingled with a taste of wiidness—for that to a Scotchman, like myself, has a, singular fascination—I have seen nothing I could place side by side with the Valley of the Dee." —Sir THEODORE MAETIIT, K.C.B., K.C.V. Because "of all the beautiful spots in which Wales abounds, there is no more charming than the lovely Vale of Llangollen. It has long been justly famed as a health resort, and the exquisite beauty of its walks and drives, and the neatness, cleanliness, and pleasantness of the town of Llangollen renders it especially attractive even to ordinary visitors, but to the artist it offers endless subjects for study and treatment, whilst the student of science can always find there a great store of objects worthy of the most careful attention." —" RESEARCH." Because "of its kind there is nothing more charming in Great Britain, and one may wander far on the Continent, amidst the glories of Switzerland and Italy, to come back with appetite as keen as ever for these charms of form and colour, of wooded slopes and graceful sweep of green mountain sides, and purple patches of heather which Scotland herself might envy, and more bewitching still, patchworks of heath and gorse, of green, and purple, and gold, a livery of Nature which no painter would be bold enough to picture on his canvas in all its glowing colours. You pass from the sylvan beauty of long reaches of the Dee, climb the gently rising hills, the surprise of fresh oveliness at every turn, when, suddenly, before YOIl lies the distant line of the Irish Sea the yellow sand gleam in the sunshine the light falls on white sai 3 and perhaps the sunset floods the peaks and pinnac a: of Snowdonia."

CORRESPONDENCE. [WB do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions of our correspondents.—En.] THE WATER SUPPLY. To the Editor of the" Llangollen Advertiser." Dear sir,—Mr. Fell's letter is very sensible in its way, and he ought to know something about the reservoir, having been a chairman of the Board. We seem to have spent a lot of money and got no better supply of water. When Mr. Fell talks of a new reservoir at the site of the present unfortunate dispute, does he remember that there are many farms and cottages above that; and as he lives in Kent now, surely he should know something of the disaster at Maidstone from this cause. We don't want that sort of thing here.. —JOHN JONES. AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL TAX. To the Editor of the" Llangollen Advertiser." Sir,—For many centuries Englishmen have insisted on paying no taxes unless they were directly imposed by Parliament. It seems strange therefore that they should now submit, without a murmur, to a quite considerable tax imposed, not by Parliament directly, but by the Board of Agriculture. This is the more strange, since it is imposed cn the poor and weak, while the rich are exempted. A poor, blind, beggar mist pay it; it is a tax on what is for him a necessity; but a rich master of fox hounds escapes it. It seems yet more strange when we notice that this new tax does not go to the government, nor benefit the public in any way, bat goes to certain merchants and shopkeepers. A foreigner with some knowledge of Englishmen might well say that such a thing was inconceivable that there must be some mistake. Nevertheless- conceivable or not, the thing is true. Most of those who own dogs have long been taxed directly bu:, Parliament has rightly exempted shepherds, and blind men from the tax. Now, however, not yet over the whole country but over certain districts, the Board of Agriculture has stepped in and imposed on dog owners an additional tax, namely the prise of a muzzle, perhaps a shilling- per dog and it has exempted, not shepherds and blind men to whom the dog is a necessity, but the owners of hounds. And that tax, which for a poor blind man, may mean no dinner for a week, is to be paid not to government for the general benefit, but to the men who sell dog muzzles. Nor can it be pleaded that any substantial advantage is gained by this com- pulsory muzzling. Some men may think there are certain small advantages, and many may think there is no great disadvantage. But the only advantage suggested which could for a moment justify such a tax is that the muzzling diminishes rabies. As to that, one would suppose it was clear to the meanest intellect that it could have no such result. In any case there is no need to diseuss the point here for the uselessness of muzzling for the prevention of rabies has been so cleanly established in many other papers, that any who are not con- vinced, would not be convinced if one rose from the dead, or if an angel came from heaven, to argue with them. No—the muzzling order is just a tax on the poor and weak, the rich being large exempted and it benefits only those who sell dog muzzles; and if Englishmen are what their fathers were they will sweep it away at once, and for ever. Yours faithfully, W. S. HONSLEY. Richmend-road, Cardiff, 11th October, 1899.

LATEST NEWS & TELEGRAMS. Thursday Evening. Stocks are quite featureless. The authority at Pwllheli, in th-ir spirited way, have decided to invite the owners of the Columbia and Shamrock to take part in a yacht race which is being arranged for n@xt season. THE WAR. A despatch from Ladysmith to General Forcstiar Walker, just received, conveys the gratifying intelligence that General White and General YLlle joined their forces this afternoon. Tbe news baa relieved a somewhat general anxitey. News has arrived that General Sir George White engaged the Free State Boers advancing upon Ladysmith about seven miles to the north of that place. Na details have been received, but it is believed that the advance was successfully repelled. A Central News telegram says that General Yule's force arrived at Ladysmith during yesterday without meeting the enemy. The Evening News account of the Reidfontein battle says the infantry and Natal volunteers drove the Boers from ridge to ridge upon the main position, which was then shelled, and the guns were soon silenced. A War Office telegram gives the names of four more wounded belonging to the Gloucester Regiment Another has died of wounds. The captured Hussars are now prisoners at Pretoria. ——
