THE BISHOP OF LIVERPOOL ON…
THE BISHOP OF LIVERPOOL ON INTEMPERANCE. On Sunday forenoon, the Right Rev. the Bishop of Liverpool preached a special sermon in St. Peter's pro-Cathedral, Church-street, in con- nection with the yisit to Liverpool during this week of the Council of the Central Association of the Church of England Temperance Society. His lordship founded his remarks on the words in Ephesians v., 18—"Be not drunk with wine. wherein is excess, but be filled with the Spirit." [n the course of his sermon the reverend prelate said that the evil of intemperance in the present time was such that he needed no excuse for preaching on it in a Liverpool pulpit. The sin af drunkenness was the most dreadful of any of the sins by which England was disgraced, and he knew of no country in the world where there was so much drunkenness as in England and Ireland. Their beloved land was, by this curse, made the ane dark spot on the face of their fair world; ind while there was no sin so common, neither was there any so deceitful in its working. He snew of nothing regarding which such a variety af expressions were used to describe it as drunkenness, the various forms of which had each i number of significant terms of destination. The nabit of drunkenness ruined the character, and êlad brought many worthy meu to ruin. This ietestable habit also ran away with people's noney, and made homes miserable and destitute Fathers and mothers, too, perhaps—spending nearly all the money which ought to go for the upbringing and comfort of the children in drink,and ;hen often appearing before the magistrates. It was very sad also to think of how many ruined Jonstitutions there were through over-indulgence n strong drink, which made a man little better jhan a beast, and capable of any crime. He shanked God for the number of young men he saw before him, and warned them especially igainst frequenting places of amusement where irinking was carried on, and to shun the company )f those who were day after day taking what ,hey called a pick-up." This was a dangerous practice—tasting at eleven o'clock inthe forenoon, )r four o'clock in the afternoon. No one. who valued his health, his prosperity, his peace of conscience, would taste strong drink between neals. After referring to the sad picture presented by Shakspeare of the death of Sir John B'alstaff, a glutton and a drunkard, his lordship concluded by urging his hearers to be filled with bhe Spirit, which was the great remedy for all jvils presented by the apostle.

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.—During every break of wintry weather exertions should be made by the afflicted to recover health before unremitting cold and trying storms set in. Throat ailments, coughs, wheezings, asthmatical affections, shortness of breath, morning nausea, and accumulations of phlegm can readily be removed by rubbing' this fine derivative Ointment twice a day upon the chest and neck. Holloway's treatment is strongly recommended with the view of giving immediate ease, preventing prospective danger and effecting permanent relief. These all-important ends his Ointment and Pills can accomplish, and will surely prevent insidious diseases from fastening on the constitution to display themselves afterwards in those disastrous forms that will probably embitter life till death itself is almost prayed for. FLORILINE !—For the Teeth and Breath.-A few t '° £ Su i "Floriline" sprinkled on a tooth-brush produces a pleasant lather, which thoroughly cleanses the teeth from all parasites or impurities, hardens the gums, prevents tartar, stops iecay, gives to the teeth a peculiar pearly whiteness and a delightful fragrance to the breath. It removes all unpleasaiit 0^onr arising from decayed teeth or tobacco smoke. The Fragrant Floriline," being composed m part of honey and sweet herbs, is deli- cious to the taste, and the greatest toilet discovery oi the age. Price ?s. 6d., of all Chemists and Perfumers.

VISITATION OF THE BISHOP OF-ST.…
VISITATION OF THE BISHOP OF-ST. m DAVID'S THE BISHOP ON SOME CHURCH MATTERS. The Bishop of St. David's commenced his triennial visitation of the diocese at St. Martin's Parish Church, Haverfordwest, on Wednesday morning week, when the first section of his charge was delivered to the clergy of the archdeaconry of St. David's. Immediately after the Nicene Creed had been said, the Bishop delivered his charge, in which he said that the state of things in several Welsh-speaking parishes was not satisfactory. Much had been said, and with reasons, about the necessity of appointing incumbents well acquainted with the Welsh language; but it was a fact that certain Welsh- speaking parishes existed in which there were incumbents perfectly capable of ministering to the people in their mother tongue, but in which the services were held at times inconvenient to the people or in inconvenient places. This want of consideration for the needs of the Welsh- speaking population, disastrous as it was in its results, had not arisen from any denationalisation of the Church in the Principality, but simply from a tendency manifested in England as well as Wales to accommodate the tastes of the upper rather than the lower and less educated classes. The Church was not unpatriotic, but she had arranged her services rather for the convenience of her more wealthy members. As to the alleged insufficient supply of candidates for holy orders, the Bishop declared that his own experience did nob justify the statement that, the supply was insufficient. There had besides been an increase of candidates for holy orders from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and that might be taken as an indication that the diocese was becoming attractive. In cases where a university education was unattainable, he asked those who had any influence with candidates to advise them to seek the more solid teaching given at St. David's College, Lampeter, in preference to other institutions, which, however well they might be in their place, were not adapted for the preparation of candidates for the ministry. With reference to the admission to holy orders of literates pure and simple, he had determined after much deli- beration to admit no more of them. He wished this to be widely understood. With the impulse which in more ways than one was-being given to St. David's College, he had no doubt of securing a sufficient number of candidates, in spite of, or rather in consequence of the refusal of literates. He had, therefore, determined to ordain no candidates who were not either graduates or certificated students of St. David's College, or of some recognised college connected with the Church of England. This objection of his applied in an equal, or even greater degree, to candidates who had begun, but had not completed their course at college.
GAME LICENCE EXEMPTIONS.
GAME LICENCE EXEMPTIONS. With reference to the Ground Game Act, 1880, 43 and 44 Vic., cap. 47, the officers of Inland Revenue will observe that the following persons may, under certain conditions, take and kill hares and rabbits on lands in occupation, without taking out an excise game licence, viz. :— 1. The occupier of the land, and, if authorised by him in writing- 2. Members of his household resident on his land. 3. Persons in his ordinary service on the land. 4. One person employed by him for reward in the destruction of ground game. The occupier himself and one other person autho- rised by him in writing are the only persons under the Act entitled to kill ground game with firearms; but firearms are not to be so used between the expiration of the first hour after sunset and the commencement of the last hour before sunrise.. The person using firearms is not exempt from the licence required by the Gun Licence Act. A person is not deemed to be an occupier of land by reason of having a right of common, or by reason of an occupation for grazing sheep, &c., for not more than nine months. On unenclosed lands (not being arable) the right to take or kill ground game only extends from the 11th December in one year to the 31st March in the next; but this restriction does not apply to moor- lands or unenclosed land of less than 25 acres adjoining arable lands. The occupier has the same power of selling any ground game killed by him, or the persons authorised by him, as if he had a licence to kill game.

BREAD AND POTATOES.— The Graphic remarks: Not only is the wheat harvest in England a good four million quarters better than it was last year, but the potato crop is a decidedly good one, despite a certain amount of disease. The consumption of potatoes is always large 'when- ever prices allow of its being so, because the poor think much more of potatoes than of bread. The beggar tells you he has had nothing but a 'hard crust,' and considers this a fair bid for relief; but he would never dream of alleging a solitary dish of potatoes' as a reason for alms. The English people are fairly clever with their cookery of the potato, which is generally eaten hot, is always cooked, and appears, even at the poorest tables, in quite a variety of forms. But bread they have no way of dealing with. The ingenious bakery of the French, the appetible excellence of bread in Spain, the macaroni and vermicelli of Italy; all these are unknown to the English poor, who connect bread with hard fare, and never eat it when they can get anything else. Potatoes are now offered at 12 a ton, against Y-8 a ton for wheat." A WELSH LOCAL BOARD AND THE REPORTERS.— The clerk of the Newtown (Montgomeryshire) Local Board recently wrote a letter to the chief- constable of the county, stating that neither he nor the members of the Local Board had said what was reported in the press as to the negli- gence of the police. The reporters adhered to the accuracy of their notes, and the members of the board were engaged for an hour and a quarter inquiring into the matter. One of the reporters offered to submit his notes to any number of competent shorthand writers, and to swear to their correctness. This was not deemed satis- factory, and the board resolved to examine the notes themselves. The notes were not at hand, and some of the members thought it would be sufficient if they had specimens'of the short-hand characters. These were supplied, and the mem- bers scrutinised the lines, circles, and half circles, and inquired the value of every mark, curve, and dot. After a quarter of an hour's deliberation, the reporters were informed that it was absurd to suppose that such things (the short-hand characters) could be relied upon, or that speeches could be taken down at all with accuracy. It was all humbug to imagine such a thing." A reporter present said he could take the address of any "intelligent" speaker, and he was told that he was talking nonsense.

(440) WARNING EECKITT'S PASIS BLUE. — The marked superiority of this Laundry Blue over all others, and the quick appreciation of its merits by the Public has been attended by the usual results, viz, a flood of imitations; ,he merit of the latter mainly consists in the ingenuity exerted, not simply m imitating the square shape but mak,ng the general appearance of the wrappers resemble that of the genuine article. The Manufacturers beg, therefore, to caution all buyers to sue" Reckitt's Paris Blue" on each packet. [ISaJ It is useful to know the derivation of words; both "Cuoo.. and Chocolate" are of Mexican origin The word Chocolate is derived from Chocolatl," the sound produced by the primitive stones used to bruise and mix the Cocoa with sugar; whereas I- Cocoa is the name under which the unadulterated, beans of the Thuobroma Cacao" of Linnceus are import, d into England. Those who wish for Cocoa absolutely pure should ask for the Cocoa Essence originally prepared by Cadbury Bros.

HOME & FOREIGN CHIT-CHAT. The Gladstone Bridge," at Rhyl, has just been co mpleted. Lord Justice Thesiger died rather suddenly on Wednesday, at the age of 42. A new Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Chapel was opened last week at Llanfairfechan. Colportage in France, hitherto obstructed by many difficulties, has been made free by a recent law. The noted complexion restorer and beautifier (?), Madame Rachel, died in Woking Prison last week. The Chester Town Council have resolved to pur- chase a ten-ton steam road roller, at a-cost of £ 410. It is proposed to illuminate mines by means of luminous paint. Who will defray the immense cost ? The penalty for being drunk at Beddgelert is Is. Is this fall in the market the effect of an abundant harvest ? Plenydd, the Welsh Grand Worthy Chief Templar, is on a lecturing tour through Denbighshire and Flintshire. Sir Julius Benedict was among the guests of Madame Patti at Craigynos Castle when the Welsh choir recently sang there. .A hawker named Jane Smith, of Glasgow, was delivered of twins in the street on her way to Benton Station, on Wednesday week. A rumour was prevalent in London on Monday that the celebrated race horse, Robert the Devil, is to be brought under the hamnrer. The question of widening the Pontfaen Bridge, near Chirk, will come under discussion at the next Denbighshire Quarter Sessions. Since the new system of penny savings came into operation, about 130 new accounts have been opened at the Aberystwyth Post Office. Prof. Ramsay gave a lecture on Friday to the members of the Beaumaris Science and Art Classes, on Theoretical and Practical Science." A massive brass cross, the gift of subscribers to a fund initia ed by Mrs. Vincent Williams, has been placed on the re-table of Bangor Cathedral. John Reade, a brakesman, died on Friday in Bangor Infirmary from injuries received while shunting at Carnarvon the previous evening. Mr. roweii, N anteos, has promised to present an eastern stained-glass window to Llanbadarn-fawr church, and Sir Pryse Pryse has promised an organ. A snowstorm in the province of Buenos Ayres, which lasted from the 18th to the 21st ult., des- troyed 700,000 cows.500,000 sheep,and 250.000 horses. The Commander-in-Chief has determined to insti- tute ah inquiry into the increased and increasing mess expenses of officers quartered in the United Kingdom. A telegram received at Carmarthen on Monday announces the death, at Lavosplaz, Switzerland, of the Rev. William Mortimer Lewis, principal of Pontypool Baptist College. Mr. Moody has fifteen Indian girls, between the ages of 16 and 26, at his schools at Northfield, America, whom he is preparing for missionary work among their own tribes. William Evans, a travelling photographer, was committed for trial at the assizes by the Holywell magistrates, on Friday, for wounding an ostler at the Packet House, Greenfield. The first part of The Life and Letters of the late Charles of Bala," edited by the Rev. W. Hughes, vicar of Llanuwchllyn, has just been issued from the Dywysogaeth Office, Rhyl. While England is being flooded by the heavy rains, there is not enough water in Forfarshire for salmon to go up the falls, and enthusiasts of the rod are desperate as to their last week. For failing to account for some money which he had collected, Evan Owen, employed for some years as clerk at Aberystwyth, was sentenced to a month's jj-aol, by the borough magistrates, on the 13th inst. The necessity of taking care of the public water supply is already making itself felt, and last week 5he magistrates imposed a fine upon an inhabitant )f Aberystwyth for allowing water to run to waste. The wheat arrivals in London for the past week ire notable as being more than half from East India, j where, owing to the extension of the railway ( system, a prolific source of supply is being developed. ] The Home Secretary has directed the discharge 1 "rom Carnarvon Gaol of Richard Griffith, a boy 'ecently committed by the Holyhead magistrates to 1 *1 days' imprisonment and five years' detention in ( L'reformatory. At the Machynlleth Board of Guardians, Mr. Thruston deprecated the practice which seems to be common in the union, for the collectors to advance out of their own pockets money which they ought to have collected. Lord Dalhousie, who can command almost the best shooting of every description in Scotland, killed, with two other guns, 48 brace of partridges, 371 of 2 pheasants, 21 hares, and 6 rabbits, the other morning on the Panmure estate. The trustees of the advowson of St. Leonard's Church, Bilston, near Wolverhampton, being unable to secure an offer of more than 3,000, which they consider too small, have decided to dispose of the living by public auction. There are now in England forty-four official salmon districts with boards of conservators. The result is a very large supply of salmon to the public markets, especially from such rivers as the Tyne, the Eden, the Severn, &c. Dr. Watts, a well-known and somewhat eccentric character, who was physician to the Duke of Cleve- Land, was buried at Battle, near Hastings on Friday. It is said that for years the deceased gentleman slept with his coffin under his bed. It was stated at the meeting of the Chester town council last week, that the income derived from the anchorage of vessels in the river Dee is constantly decreasing, and that the number of vessels going up to Chester is getting less every year. The late Mrs. Newman Hall, who was divorced from the eminent preacher on account of her per- sistently living with the son of a livery-stable keeper named Richardson, was married to that individual at the Hull Registry Office the other day. The clergy of the archdeaconry of St. Asaph assembled at Rhyl a few days ago, and discussed the question of higher education, with the view of presenting before the Departmental Committee such evidence as would be deemed of importance to the Church. It appears from a letter published in a London Paper, that a man who won by valour in the field the Victoria Cross, ekes out his paltry pension of a shilling per diem by sweeping a London crossing. This is one way of dragging a rare distinction through the gutter At an influential public meeting held at Wrexham )U Wednesday, Mr. James, the late town clerk, was presented by the inhabitants with a life-size portrait 5.f himself, in oil, painted by Mr. W. B. Boadle, of Liverpool. Sir Watkin and Sir R. A. Cunliffe took part in the ceremony. Joseph Skipsey, a Northumberland miner, and author of several lyric poems, who now resides at Backworth Colliery, near Newcastle, has received an utimation from one of Mr. Gladstone's private secretaries that, in consideration of his literary services, an annual pension has been awarded to him. It is said that Mr. Gladstone has come to the 'esolution of throwing himself into the hands, so to sPeak, of the more Radical portion of his colleagues, tnd that Lord Granville and the Marquis of Harting ion will very soon follow the example set them by Lord Lansdowne, and bid adieu to official life for jhe present.- Soo i ety. A number of woodcocks have been killed in the Sappy Valley, Towyn. Widgeons in small flights kVere seen on the coast some time ago, and migratory lucks have been on the estuary of the Dysynni for ihe last three weeks. The early coming of these oirds is regarded by the weather-wise as indicating i severe winter. The accounts from America tell of an abundant 3rop of apples, estimated to amount to 200,000,000 barrels, the orchards of the country having no less jhan 125,000,000 trees in bearing. In New York Stats the tr6es are laden to the ground with fruit, and the soil underneath the trees is knee-deep with fallen fruit, for which there is no market. The crop, it is expected, will realise from 69,000,000 dols. to 70 000,000 dols. Despite the jeremiads of the alarmists, and the attempts of the American manufacturers to keep Sheffield products out of the markets of the United States, the returns recently made show that trade is steadily increasing and the action of Mr. Vander- bilt, who has been on a visit to the iron districts of Germany and France, proves that we still make rails which, at least in the open market, are pre- ferred to others.-Eclw. An important point with respect to the responsi- bility of parents sending children to school was raised at the Oldham police court on Wednesday. Susannah Hudson, who was summoned, said she took her lad to school and saw him enter the school. The clerk said a school was not like 9. prison the lads could get out. The bench held Hudson had discharged her duty in seeing the lad enter the school, and that it was the duty of the schoolmaster to keep him there. The case was dismissed. A curious story relating to the discovery of a hidden treasure is current in the village of Ashford. Early in the present month the wife of a labourer, it is said, while breaking up an old chest of drawers purchased for 6s. some twenty years ago, discovered a secret compartment nearly filled with gold coin of the reigns of William III. and George II. The compartment in which the gold was found was capable of holding about 100 coins, and the chest of drawers is believed to have been repaired several times.

THE FRENCH JESUITS IN WALES.—The Rev. W. Nicholson (pastor of the Grove-street Welsh Congregational Church, Liverpool), speaking a few days ago at the inaugural meeting of the Literary Society, referred to the settlement of the French Jesuits in Wales, and, after giving an outline of the history and general features of Jesuitism, said that though the Jesuits had been driven from one country to the other, and though they lost the political influence which they had possessed in former years, they had remained faithful through centuries to the Pope. If it were asked why the ministers and leaders of the Welsh people were anxious with regard to the settlement of the Jesuits in Wales, the reply was, because of the name they bore and the moral teachings promulgated by them and because of their wicked designs to obtain influence. Expelled from France, they came to Wales not by chance, but, undoubt- edly, in obedience to the directions and commands of their general. The moral code of glorious old Wales, where the pure gospel of the true God had changed the country into a garden of the Lord, was about to be assailed. The cold blasts or Jesuitism had reached them and threatened to commence its destructive course. Every effort would now be made to silence the sound of the gospel among the hills of Wales. In fact, the Jesuits would strive to make a second Ireland of Wales. In considering these matters, it was no surprise that the best men of Wales should feel anxious and he urged that parents should be on their guard that no intercourse should take place between the priests and their children, and that the rising generation should be well grounded in the great truths of the Bible.

ACREFAIR. THE FLINTSHIRE MONTHLY PRESBYTERY OF THE CALVINISTIC METHODISTS.—At the last monthly meeting of the Flintshire Presbytery of the Calvinistic Methodists held at Acrefair, it was unanimously resolved That this meeting begs to tender to The Right Honourable G. O. Morgan, M.P., its warmest thanks for the untiring zeal and signal ability which he has so long devoted to the Burials Bill now become law, and congratulates him on the passing of the measure which he has so long and so ably advocated and with which his name will always be honourably associated;" and, "That this meeting appoints the Revs. John Jones, Rhos, E. Roberts, Brymbo, and H. Barrow Williams, Wrexham, Messrs. E. Hooson, Rhos, and Michael D. Jones, Brymbo, to convey the above resolution to the right honourable gentleman as a slight expression of the high esteem in which he is held by its members." On Wednesday the above-named gentlemen waited on Mr. Morgan at Brymbo Hall, and conveyed to him the above resolution. The right hon. gentleman received the deputation with his usual kindness, and warmly thanked them, and through them the monthly meeting, for the kind expressions conveyed in the resolution. The deputation also elicited from the right hon. gentleman answers to several questions in connection with the working of the Burials Act, such as the burial of non-parishioners the notice of burial; and the burial fees. With regard to the fees the new Act simply leaves them as they were before the fees charged before the passing of the Act are still payable to the rector or vicar, but where voluntary offerings are made at funerals no fees of course are payable. As to non-parishioners the new Act neither takes away any previous right of burial nor confers a new one; where the right previously existed it can still be claimed. 0 „ WREXHAM. A NOTED BURGLAR SAFE AT LAST.—A Sheffield paper states that a desperate-looking fellow, named Charles Cain, has been committed by the Barnsley magistrates to take his trial at the Doncaster Sessions, on a charge of burglariously entering the house of a woman named Elizabeth Ruddlestone, Worsbro' Bridge, on either the 24th or 25th September, and stealing therefrom a quantity of wearing apparel. There is little doubt but the prisoner is the man who has recently broken into several residences in the immediate vicinity of Wrexham, inasmuch as a statement made and signed by Cain showed that he had committed a great number of burglaries in various parts of England and Wales, and also that he bad enlisted in and deserted from several regiments. TEMPERANCE. -On Tuesday evening, the very pleasing ceremony of establishing a Band of Hope in connection with the Church of England Temperance Society was gone through at the lenters' School. Much interest was taken in the event, and it is hoped much good will result therefrom. At 8 o'clock, a meeting of the adult society was held, when a most interesting address was delivered by the Rev. J. Davidson, M.A., Chester. MOLD. LECTURE.—On Monday week, Professor Gethin Davies, B.A., of the Baptist College, Llangollen (and who, as our readers are aware, officiates regularly at the Welsh Baptist Chapel in this town), delivered an interesting lecture in that place of worship on "The Tonic Sol-fa System of Music," the Tonic Sol-fa Class in connection with the chapel rendering the illustrations, which added to the interest of the lecture. The chair was occupied by Mr. Edward Wheldon. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded to Professor Davies for his able and interesting lecture, and after a similar vote was passed to the chairman for presiding, the meeting closed with the singing of "Doxol°gy-" We hope that a good amount will be realised by the lecture in aid of the chapel. LLANRHAIADR. THE LATE MR. J. G. FOULKES.—The funeral of the late Mr. John Griffiths Foulkes, of Gartheryr, who died at his farm, Llwynymaen, took place at Llanrhaiadr on Tuesday, Oct. 5th, and was largely attended. The funeral cortege was stopped near Llangedwyn Hall, when Lady Williams Wynn placed beautiful wreaths of flowers upon the coffin. The officiating clergy were the Revs. E. Jones, vicar, T. James, curate, and R. Trevor Owen, of Llangedwyn. All the Dlinds were drawn, and most of the shutters were closed in the village and on the road from Llanged wyn. „ DENBIGH. BARGER, the eminent mimic, visited Denbigh on Tuesday week, and had crowded audiences. FAIR, lhe fair on Tuesday and Wednesday week was well supplied with stock, and a large number of horses was on show. Prices maintained. BELL RINGERS.—A company of excellent silver- toned bell ringers visited the town on Friday night, but the patronage extended to them did not rise to their deserts. HARVEST THANKSGIVING.- Thursday was set apart for the general harvest thanksgiving for this town among the Nonconformists. The services began on Wednesday evening by a service in Tower Chapel, and on Thursday morning a prayer meeting in the Baptist Chapel at seven o'clock; at ten o'clock another was held in the Wesleyan Chapel, followed by an after- noon meeting the Independent Chapel, and a great gathering in the evening in the Capel Mawr. All these services were well attended, and addresses were delivered by the ministers and other able members of the different churches. In the evening also a meeting took place in Vale- street English Chapel, at which, together with all the rest, thanks were given to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest just passed. At St. Mary's Church,' morning services were held at eight and eleven o'clock, at the latter the Rev. Rowland Ellis, of Mold, preached from Psalms cxxvi., v. 5, prayers having been read by the Rev. J. C. Reece, and other parts of the service by the Archdeacon and the Rev. D. W. Lewis.. The decorations here were of a very elaborate character, masses of grapes and other choice fruit crowning the table, while the altar rails, pulpit, lectern, gas standards, windows, doors, and font were profusely decorated with grain, flowers, and ferns, presenting a very pleasing spectacle to the eye. This work was done by Miss Gold Edwards and friends, Mrs. and the Misses Parry Jones, with Mrs. and the Misses Lloyd Williams, Mrs. Timms, Eriviatt; Mrs. Harrison, Goppa; the Misses Williams, Vale-street; the Masters and Miss Turner Jones, Ystrad; Mrs. R. C. B. Clough Mrs. Henderson, and others. A Welsh service was held at night in St. Mary's. At Whitchurch an afternoon service was held at three o'clock, when the Rev. J. C. Reece preached. A MARRIAGE.—On Tuesday morning, at St. Joseph's Catholic Chapel, in this town, by the Rev. Father Sidgreaves, in the presence of a large assembly of friends and well wishers, the marriage of Mr. J. O. Simpson, of Wrexham, to Miss Julia Hannah Bird, eldest daughter of Mr. Rd. Bird, of Henllan-street, Denbigh, was solemnised. On departing from the chapel, the happy pair had to undergo a shower of rice. In the evening they departed for a tour through Ireland to spend their honeymoon, when the usual signs of good feelings were again shown them. Mrs. Simpson received from her friends a large number of valu- able presents. THE WATERWORKS.—On Friday, Dr. Tumour, in the presence of the mayor and several other gentlemen, opened the new portion of the above works, which will give a supply of excellent water, and, therefore, prove a great boon to the town. CONCERT.—On Friday night, a concert was held in the Baptist Chapel, in aid of the cause at the said chapel. The affair turned out good both as regards the singing and financially. BEAUMARIS. THE TRAMWAYS QUESTION.—The proposal for the construction of a tramway to connect Beau- maris with the system of the London and North- western Company at Llanfair station was on Wednesday discussed at a special meeting of the y 11 trustees of the Beaumaris and Llandegfan turn- pike road, along which it is suggested the line shall run. Mr. W. A. Darbyshire and Mr. Godfrey Darbyshire were in attendance on behalf of the promoters of the scheme. After a long discussion, the trustees came to a resolution to the effect that at least 10 feet of roadway must be maintained for general traffic. Under such a stipulation, it is questionable whether the scheme, which it is agreed would be advantageous to Beaumaris, will be carried out. An alternative scheme is suggested in the construction of a tram from Bangor railway station to Garth Ferry, and thence by steamer to Beaumaris. RUABON. REVISION COURT.—Mr. A. Coxon, Revising Barrister, held a Court at Ruabon, on Thursday week, for the revision of the county list. The Conservatives were represented by Mr. Evan Morris and Mr. Acton, and the Liberals by Mr. J. Jones and Mr. Tilston. There was very little interest taken in the business of the Court by outsiders. The claims on each side were almost even in number, and several of the Conservative claims were allowed without objection. Only five Liberal claims were allowed, no less than twenty-five being disallowed upon objection. To show the necessity of looking after the registration, we may mention that out of twenty claims made by the Radicals for Rhosymedre, only one vote was sustained. The Conservatives objected to fifteen voters on the register, all of which objections were substantiated and the names expunged. No objections were made by the Liberals to the register.. The result of the revision shows a nett gain of thirty-five to the Conservatives. LLANTYSILIO. HARVEST HOME.—Thanksgiving services for the safe ingathering of the harvest were held at this church on Tuesday. In the afternoon service, which was in English, the Rev. Morgan Rees, Llangwyfan, near Denbigh, preached a very appropriate and effective sermon. In the Welsh service in the evening the preacher was the Rev. Thomas Williams, Llandrillo. He delivered a powerful and eloquent discourse on the latter part of the 24th verse of the 5th chapter of Jeremiah. Collections were made on behalf of the the Church Missionary Society. The singing was very good and hearty. The anthem '-Molwch yrArglwydd" was rendered very creditably. The church was tastefully decorated for the occasion by Miss Jones, Brynhyfryd, and Miss Littlejohns, Llantysilio Cottage. The following clergy took part in the services:-The Rev. J. S. Jones, vicar of the parish, the vicars of Glyndyfrdwy, Glynceiriog, and Bryneglwys. TEMPERANCE.—A meeting was held at the National School, on Wednesday evening, under the auspices of the Church of England Tem- perance Society. The Rev. Morgan Rees, the organising secretary of this excellent society, was present, and delivered a lengthy address on the all-important subject of temperance. The vicar of the parish was in the chair. It was unani- mously resolved that a branch society be established in the parish. FLINT. A NARROW ESCAPE.—Daniel Mitford, a booking clerk at Flint station, had a miraculous escape on Saturday. The young man attempted to jump upon the footboard of a passing train, when he 1:1 missed the step and hung on to the carriage door by the handle. In passing the platform he struck Eigainst one of the porters, lost his hold, and fell between the carriage and the platform. His right leg was frightfully lacerated, but through the presence of mind of the porter he was rescued from falling on the metals. He was attended by Dr. Jones, and is now progressing favourably, although some time will elapse before he will be again fit for duty.
