Llangollen Advertiser Denbighshire Merionethshire and North Wales Journal

TO CORRESPONDENTS, &c. We shall deem it a favour at all times to receive short notices of any local occurrences at which we may not happen to be present. Having to go to press early on Thursday night, our readers will oblige by forwarding their communications as early as pos- sible, and advertisements must be received not later than Twelve o'clock on Thursday noon. Letters to the Editor ought to be in hand as early as possible in the week, and we cannot guarantee the insertion of any lengthy correspondence if received later than Tuesday morning. Our Bardic Editor is the Rev. J. H. Hughes, The Manse, Cefn, near Ruabon. The bards will, therefore, send their productions to his address. The demand upon our space by advertisements and local intelligence makes it necessary to say that for the future in reporting meetings and entertainments, we shall give the preference to those which are con- sidered by the promoters of sufficient public impor- tance to be advertised in our columns. We cannot undertake to return rejected communica- tions, or take notice of anonymous communications- Whatever is intended for insertion must be authen. ticated by the name and address of the writer, not necessarily for publication, but as a guarantee of good faith.

THE official news from India neither confirms nor contradicts the report of the murder of the Ameer, but leaves little or no room for doubt that a disturbance has taken place in Cabul. The British Commissioner at Peshawur, telegraphing to the Viceroy on the 24th, said that no post or message had arrived there from Cabul since the 14th instant, and that for several days a rumour of an outbreak at Cabul and the death of the Ameer had been current. SOME of our readers (says the Mid-Wales Telegraph and Observer) will already have heard of the Girls' Friendly Society, a branch of which has been for some time in existence at Llanidloes. The society consists of lady-assistants and girl- members. Its object is to band girls together for the purpose of promoting purity of character, fidelity in service, and mutual help and sympathy in sickness and in health. A bonus of 5s. is given as a reward for two years' faithful service in the same situation, and grants are made out of the funds of the society towards sick or needy members. Improvement classes are held weekly by the associates, who hold themselves responsible for the good character of the members whom they admit. The subscriptions of lady-associates vary from a guinea to half-a-crown, while members are admitted to all the privileges of the society on payment of 3d. quarterly, or Is. a year in advance. Of the money so contributed by the members, it is distinctly understood tfiat the whole is spent directly or indirectly upon themselves. Of course, it will be seen that the subscriptions of members form but a small portion of the capital of the society the lady-associates not only devoting themselves gratuitously to the improvement of the members, but also subscribing handsomely besides. Several girls have already received small grants from our branch, while others have been settled in comfortable situations through the instrumentality of the Lady-Registrar (Miss Marshall) and the other lady-associates. We understand the branch numbers now some- where about sixty members, several having been lately enrolled. Our girls have been too long neglected. The girls of the present are the mothers and wives of the future. Make them thrifty, truthful, honest, and pure, and we hope ere long to see the day when pauperism, dishonesty, insincerity, and immorality shall have ceased to be the reproach of our English nation.

LLANDUDNO. THE PROMENADE BAND has just concluded its engagement for the season, and on Friday a benefit concert was giveu at St. George's Hall, when Mr. D'Alton sang several new songs, and was assisted by a number of local singers. THE DRAPERS.-With November the drapers and outfitters will close their establishments at 7 p.m. until the end of March, 1881. BIBLE SOCIETY.-The annual meeting of the British and Foreign Bible Society was held at the Calvinistic Methodist Chapel on Wednesday, the 20th inst. The meeting was addressed in an eloquent manner by the Rev. Thomas Grey, Manchester, the deputation. Several resident ministers and laymen also spoke. NIGHT SCHOOL.—Several gentlemen interested in the welfare of the wholly uneducated portion of the working class, as well as those whose education is very backward, have opened a night school at the National Schoolroom, all such being admitted free.

GLYNDYFRDWY. THANKSGIVING SKRVICES.—^Tuesday week was the day appointed by the Nonconformists of this neighbourhood for holding the harvest thanks- giving services, which were commenced on the previous evening at 7 o'clock at the Wesleyan Chapel. The meetings were held at the Indepen- dent Chapel at 10, at the Baptist Chapel at 2, and at the Calvinistic Methodist Chapel at 6 30. The services were well attended throughout, and collections were made at the close of each towards the support of the British School. The Church services were held on Wednesday, Oct. 13th, the preacher on the occasion being the Rev. Mr. Roberts, of Llangower, Bala. The afternoon service was English, and the evening one Welsh. The anthem sung was "Mawl a'th erys Di yn S'ion, 0 Dduw." Those who officiated were the Rev. Mr. Jones, curate, of Corwen, the Rev. D. Evans, of Llansantffraid, and the Rev. J. S. Jones, vicar of Llantysilio. Collections were made for liquidating the church debt and towards diocesan institutions.

RUABON. ENGLISH BAPTIST CHAPEL, GROES.—A service of song entitled "Uncle Tom" was given in this chapel on Monday evening last. The descriptive readings were by Professor Gethin Davies, of Llangollen, and the singing was well rendered by the Sunday school children under the efficient conductorship of Mr. W. Davies.

EGLWYSEG. HARVEST THANKSGIVING.-On Monday evening, the 20th inst., a service of thanksgiving for the harvest was held in St. Mary's Church. The prayers and lessons were read by the Rev. R. Bowcott, curate, of Llangollen; and the sermon, which was an earnest and strikingly appropriate one, was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Davies, of Llancadwaladr. There was a large attendance. At the close a collection was made in aid of the Llangollen parish schools.

PONTFADOG. SCHOOL TREAT.—On Friday, the 22nd inst., the children attending the National School of the above place were treated with tea, sweetmeats, &c. At 2 o'clock, about 110 mustered together, and at 3 o'clock they were provided with tea, bara brith, &c., to which they made ample justice. The following persons kindly served at the tables: —Mrs. Rees, Rectory; Miss Morgan, a lady visitor at the above place; Miss Baines, Dol-y- wern Mrs. Roberts and Mr. Roberts, teachers and Rev. W. D. Rees, vicar. After tea they all marched into a field close by-kindly lent for the occasion by Mr. John Jones, Ty'n Llwyn- where they indulged in running races, jumping, and other innocent games,for which small prizes in the shape of pennies, sweets, &c., were given to the successful competitors. At 6 o'clock they marched back to a field to receive each a piece of cake before starting home, and sing a few songs to the visitors, all of whom were greatly pleased with the order and singing of the children. An address having been given by the vicar on the day and Sunday school, three hearty cheers were given him by the children, after which the vicar proposed the same compliment to the visitors and teachers, Mr. and Mrs. Roberts. The children then sang Here we suffer grief and pain, and dispersed after enjoying a very pleasant afternoon.

HOLYHEAD. THE BAPTIST MISSIONARY SOCIETY,—Meetings in connection with the above society were held at Bethel Chapel on the 18th and 19th inst. The Revs. Dr. Jones, Llangollen, W. Edwards, Cefn Mawr, T. Frimstone, Llangefni, and J. Spinther James, Llandudno, preached to crowded congre- gations at the large Baptist Chapel. Services were held the latter night also at New Park- street Chapel, and the Revs. Dr. Jones and R. Thomas gave addresses. THE LONDON (ENGLAND) "BRITISH MAIL says: —" We are in receipt of the Illustrated Piano and Organ Advertiser of Mr. Daniel F. Beatty, of Washing- ton, New Jersey, United States of America, and can- not but express a most favourable opinion of the instruments therein described. From a personal examination of the instruments in question, we can heartily endorse the testimonials we have rend, and the exceedingly low prices at which they are offered in the supplement, and can confidently recommend the public to all transactions they may undertake to have w:th the honest, upright, high-minded and enterprising manufacturer."

MERIONETHSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS. The Michaelmas Quarter Sessions for the county of Merioneth were opened at the County Hall, Dolgelley, on Monday week, when the surveyors accounts were reported, and the reports of the chief constable, the police committee, and the county analyst, were read. CONSERVATORS. The existing conservators for the Dee Fishery District were re-appointed on the proposition of Major Tottenham. RATES. A county rate of lfd in the £ and a police rate of Id. in the £ were agreed to. TRIAL OF PRISONERS. The court opened on Wednesday for the trial of prisoners, when there were on the bench with the Most Noble the Marquis of Londonderry, R-P. I (chairman), Mr. W. R. M. Wynne (deputy-chairman), Major Stuart, Dr. Edward Jones, Mr. A Osmond Williams, the Rev. Ellis Osborne Williams, Mr. R. S. Wayne. THE CHARGE. In charging the grand jury, the Chairman said the cases that would come before them were four in number. They were very simple, and he thought he might leave them entirely in the hands of the grand jury. He alluded briefly to the various Acts of Parliament that had been passed during the recent session of Parliament, but owing to the noise in the body of the hall throughout the whole of the charge, his lordship's remarks were quite inaudible to the reporters and all others except those close to him. Before concluding, he alluded to the rates agreed to on the previous day, which he said showed an increase of one farthing on those of last year. The jury found true bills against Michael Conray, George Barnard, Henry Powell, Mary Powell, and Anne Hughes. LARCENY. Michael Conray (36), labourer, was charged with having on the 27th of July, 1880, stolen a coat and a pocket handkerchief, valued at £ 1 6s., the property of John Hughes.—Prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to 1 calendar month's imprisonment with hard labour, the court taking into consideration the fact that it was prisoner's first appearance before them, and that he had already been in prison since July. ROBBERY FROM A TILL. George Barnard (34), gamekeeper, was charged with stealing a tin cash-box and lock, containing a five pound Bank of ^England note and about £ 18 in gold, total value £ 2*3, the property of Mary Roberts, Cross Keys, Dolgelley. Prisoner was also charged with receiving the money knowing it to have been stolen.—Mr. Griffith Jones Williams prosecuted, and Mr. W. R. Davies defended.—At the close of the evidence, Mr. G. Jones Williams briefly addressed the jury, after which Mr. W. R. Davies in an eloquent speech contended that there was no evidence to connect the prisoner with the robbery of the money, it having been proved that the five-pound note was paid to the prisoner by his employer, while the wiie said in the presence of the constable that she could account for the remainder of the money. The Deputy-Chairman, in the absence of the noble Chairman, briefly summed up the evidence to the jury, who, after a short consultation, brought in a verdict of not guilty, and the prisoner was discharged. ROBBERY FROM A FURNISHED HOUSE. Henry Powell (35), carpenter, and Mary Powell (40), his wife, were charged with having on the 20tb July, in the parish of Trawsfynydd, stolen twO flock beds and certain other articles, valued at £ 12, the property of one Thomas Owen, which property had been let by the said Thomas Owen to be used by the said Henry Powell, in a certain house there situated. — Mr. David Pugh prosecuted. After the Deputy-Chairman had summed up the evidence, the jury returned a verdict of guilty' 1 and the prisoners were sentenced—Henry Powell to twelve calendar months, and Mary Powell to nine calendar months' imprisonment with hard labour. THE BARMOUTH CASE. Anne Hughes, Barmouth, married woman, was charged with stealing a number of articles from the dwelling house of Hugh Hughes, Barmouth, between the months of January and April, 1879- The evidence in this case has been repeatedly before the public at Barmouth and Dolgelley, four previous I actions to the present having taken place with respect to the articles mentioned in the indictment. —Mr. J. C. Hughes prosecuted, and Mr. W. R. Davies defended. The hearing of the case occupied the court a considerable time. Having heard the evidence adduced, the remarks of the solicitors, and the summing up of the chairman, the jury, after a very short absence from court, returned at 7.45 p.m. with a verdict of "not guilty," and prisoner wa9 discharged. This concluded the business of the court, ———————————

Routh, physician to the Samaritan Hospital for Women and Children, London, declares :—" Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica is the best Food, and, under its influence, many women and children suffering from atrophy and marked debility have completely recovered." Dr. W. Wallace Eimslie writes to the Lancet It is worth its weight in gold." To avoid being cheated by worthless substitutes, insist upon Du BARRY'S REVALENTA ARABICA FOOD, and accept no other. We quote a few of the Cures:—Cure No. 94,618.—"Upper Park, Dedham, March 9th, 1880. With gratitude I testify to the great efficacy of Du BARRY'S FOOD in restoring and sustaining health, having taken it for nervousness and weakness. (Mrs.) E. Gretton."

Beneke, Professor of Meiicine in Ordinary to the University, writes in the Berlin Clinical Weekly," of April 8th, 1872: I shall never forget that I owe the pre- servation of one of my children to the Revalenta Arabica. The child had suffered from complete emaciation, with constant vomiting, which resisted all medical skill, and even the greatest care of two wet nurses.

FOOTBALL. — Saturday's match between the Berwyn Rangers' 1st and 2nd team was a most enjoyable and spirited game, both sides show ng good play and succeeding in obtaining two goals each; but the game would have been less fatiguing to the players, and left a more favourable impres- sion, if the systematic passing beautifully done at times was resorted to oftener, the majority of the players exhibiting a rather too selfish disposition -According to an a ivertisement in another part' of the paper, we understand that an interesting match of football will be played in the Cricket Field on Saturday next. The Canal Company having kindly granted the sole use of the canal bank immediately adjoining the field to the club whilst matches are being played, that piece of ground will be canvassed out, and a small charge made for admission into the field.

PETTY SESSIONS, Tuesday, October 26th.-Before Major Tottenham (in the chair), Capt. Best, R.N., Major Barnes, and Sir Theodore Martin. Colliery Prosecution.—George Williams, Wm. Drury, and Samuel Evans were charged with taking powder into the mining works of the Brynkinallt Colliery Company, on the 11th of September.—Defendants denied the offence.—-Mr. Bradley, of Wrexham, prosecuted.—J. Thomas, foreman, said that as he was going down the mine on Sept. 11th the defendants were talking to- gether at a point on the main level which led to where they worked, and he saw a handkerchief fall which he suspected contained powder. He asked them what it was, when Drury, raising and concealing it under his coat, said it was nothing. Witness remarked that it was quite time they should put a stop to that sort of a thing, and that Drury was guilty. Defendants worked together and the powder was for the use of all of them. All the powder which he saw was that contained in the handkerchief which dropped off Drury's person. He did not see any upon the others. He drew Mr. Davies's attention to it.—Mr. Davies, under-foreman, said he was about three yards behind the last witness when his attention was drawn by him to the defendants, who stood at the bottom of the break on the main level and about thirty yards from the surface. They were dressed and ready to leave. He said Drury had powder, when witness approached them and took the hand- kerchief out from under his coat and found that it contained about one pound of powder. He had had some grains of the powder upon his hand and was, therefore, certain that it was powder. He returned the handkerchief to Drury.-The Chair- man, addressing Drury, remarked that he had held the lives of his numerous fellow-workers in his hand that day, and they thought they treated him very leniently by fining him only 12 and costs, as it was within their power to imprison him for three months. The others, as no powder was found in their possession, were dismissed. Rate Cases.-Mr. R. T. Jones, Local Board col- lector, summoned Mr. Thomas Attwell, Feathers public-house, for the non-payment of the water and Board rates, which amounted respectively to 14s. lid. and Y.1 9s. 9d.-Ordered to be paid forthwith. Drunk on LicensedPremises.-Morris Parry,rock- man, Glyn (who did not appear), was charged by P.C. Rowlands with being drunk at the Butchers' Arms, Llangollen, on Oct. 5th, and was fined 5s. and costs. Permitting Drunkenness.—Mr. J. Wayman, the landlord of the Butchers' Arms, was charged by the same officer with permitting drunkenness on his premises on that day.-About five minutes to eleven o'clock on the night of the 11th, which was fair day, P.C. Rowlands visited this public- house and found the last defendant quite drunk in the kitchen with a glass containing some beer before him, and in the tap-room he found another too drunk to stand, while a third party, a sweep, who left while he was there, tumbled two or three times in the street. He called Mrs. Way- man's attention to them, and she said the one in the tap-room was going to remain there.—To defendant: There were two glasses before Parry, one being half full and the other empty.-p.C. Bushnell corroborated the abbve. — For the defence D. Evans, the ostler, deposed that about 10 30 last fair night lie heard the call Ostler in the yard, and upon going there he found Parry, who was covered with sludge and without a hat, with a horse. Witness took the horse, and Parry upon leaving for the house remarked, I must have a hat from your master, or else I will kill him." When witness went in he found Parry asleep and his master upstairs looking for a hat, and when it was found, witness "shook him up" and then placed him and his friend on the horse. They stopped at the house from 20 to 30 minutes. Eh. did not see them served, nor did they pay for anything.—Rowlands re-called: I cannot tell how long Parry was there, but there was no sludge whatever upon him.—Defendant declared that Parry was covered with sludge and drunk before he entered his house, and that he was not served with a spoonful of drink there. He sent for Mr. H. Jones, hairdresser to prove the same.—Jones said he was at the Butchers' Arms when the two men came in, one of whom was covered with mud, and they sat in the taproom and not in the kitchen. -Defendant: He is mistaken as to the man.—Sir Theodore Martin: Oh no, he is your witness.— Witness: This was a little before ten o'clock. He (witness) was not there when the officers entered. -The Deputy Chief Constable said this was the first time defendant was brought up, and he was a very respectable man, but he had received several complaints against the house.—The case was con- sidered proved, and a fine of 10s. and costs was inflicted,the licence not to be endorsed. Defendant gave notice of appeal. Horse Straying.—Mr. R. Edwards, Canal Wharf, was summoned at the instance of P.C. Rowlands for allowing his pony to stray on the Llangollen and Ruthin highway on the 10th inst., and was fined 2s. 6d. and costs. Important Point in the Education Act.-Attendance Officer Williams appeared in support of charges against the following persons for not sending their children to school, and asked that the usual line be inflicted (Captain Best withdrawing from the bench):—Robt. Hughes's children, Elizabeth and Emma, aged 9t and 11J, had not attended at all 2 2 during the last twelve months. John Humphreys's child Moses, aged 8, had made only 13 out of a possible 186 attendances. Thomas Jones, Castle- street-square, child Margaret, aged 10. Thomas Jones, 19, Church-street, girls Jane and Kate, aged 10 and 9, the former attending only 28 times out of a possible 186 times, and the name of the latter had been taken off the register. William Davies's children, Sarah Ann (11) and William(7), whose names were not on the register,but since the summons had been taken out they had attended regularly at the Trevor School. The wife, who appeared in this case, was ordered to send the children to school, otherwise her husband would be fined. Thomas Tudor's children,Thomas (10 £ ) and Elizabeth (9), the former having attended 8 out of 30, and the latter 30 out of 180 times at the Vron Board School. David Evans's boy Robert (11t) had made two attendances out of 80 at the V ronBoard School; Evans was fined in June last.-The bench, after considerable discussion and carefully examining the Act, arrived at the opinion that the present procedure was irregular, and that the proper course for the Board to adopt would be, first, to apply for an attendance order, and if that failed to answer the purpose to apply then for a fine. All the cases, with the exception of that of Davies, were then adjourned. Drunkenness.-Sergt. Jones charged A. Morris, Cullymaen, with being drunk at Llangollen on the 9th inst. Admitting the offence, he was fined only 5s. and costs. Elizabeth Williams, Price's-square, was fined 40s. and costs, or in default a month's imprison- ment, for being drunk and riotous in Church- street. P.C. Rowlands, who proved the case, said defendant was sentenced to seven days' imprison- ment at the last sessions for the same offence. A like offence was proved against John Jones, Queen-street, by P.C. Bushnell, and he was only fined 5s. and costs, although he had to pay a penalty of 10s. and costs at the last court. P.C. Bushnell found James Price, of Glyn, drunk and incapable a short distance from Plas Newydd on the road to Glyn, on the 16th inst., and the accused was ordered to pay 10s. and costs. A fine of £1 was inflicted upon him at the previous sessions. Trespassing in Pursuit of Game.-Ed. Anwyl, blacksmith, of Glyn, who has absconded, was charged with the above offence. Thos. Davies, gamekeeper, said that on the 11th inst. he saw several snares in the fences of the farm of Mrs. Jones, Glyn, and at about 6 30 a.m. he saw defen- dant coming and picking up a hare and a snare and placing them in his pocket. There were about twelve snares set and some six conies and a pheasant killed.-Fined £1 and costs. Jonathan Barclay, brickmaker, Jonah Thomas, collier, and William Hazel, rockman, all of Vron, were charged with trespassing on land in the occupation of Mr. John Jones, Cwmalice, over which Mr. J. C. Edwards has the right of shooting, on the 5th inst. On the day in question P.Cs. Brookes and Morgan saw the defendants. Barclay with another one whom they did not recognise was making for the centre of the road, while Thomas was on the wall, and Hazel was in the field. They were accompanied ,by a dog crossed between a lurcher and a sheep dog, carried large beating sticks, and the bottom of their trousers was quite wet. Hazel also carried a pick, and he had a rabbit in his possession. They all went away together.—Previous convictions were proved against the three.-Hazel was fined 40s. and costs, and the two others were given the benefit of a doubt. The Transfer of the Licence of the Cross Keys public-house, Llangollen, to Mr. Seeley was granted. Cow Stealing Case.—John Evans, a labourer, of Southsea, was brought up in custody charged with stealing a cow from Blaenycwm, Llanarmon D.C., on the 17th inst.-Mr. John Hughes, farmer. Blaenycwm, Llanarmon, said that he lost a cow out of his field on the night of Sunday week. He saw the cow in the field before shutting up. There were ten cows then, and about 5 o'clock next morning she was missed. They looked everywhere for her, but did not find her, and he then sent to the police, saying that she was missing. On Wednesday he received a letter from Sergt. Jones to say she was at Wrexham. He went there and found it at the .Cross Foxes. It was witness's cow. He did not know the prisoner, and did not see him about his premises that night.- Robert Jones, of the Vron Farm, near Wrexham, said that on Friday week, the 15th, the prisoner came to his house, and asked for a "run" for a heifer he had at Glyndyfrdwy. He came next day and said that he wanted keep for her until Wrexham sair on the following Thursday. Witness half promised him the keep. Prisoner said he would fetch her on the Sunday and bring her to him on the Monday. On Monday five men were working.with witness in the field, and his wife came and said that the heifer had come. The prisoner brought the heifer about ten a.m. Witness asked him if that was the heifer that had been ranging" with his brother's, and he said Yes." Witness remarked that she did not look well, and prisoner answered that she had been driven a long way and showed signs of fatigue. Prisoner wanted to turn the heifer into the field. Witness gave her some hay, but she was not able to eat it. Prisoner afterwards asked witness if he would buy the heifer, and he replied that he could not, as he had no money to spare and his rent was nearly due. The police constable came on the following day asked witness where he got the heifer, and said that he must have the cow, as it was a stolen one. Witness had bought the cow on the Monday afternoon for Y,7, and he paid prisoner five sovereigns on account, and he was to wait nine days for the remaining two sovereigns.—John Hughes was re-called and said that the heifer was worth from X10 to £ 11. -Robert Jones, continuing, said that the police- man took the cow. and he (witness) asked the prisoner why he sold him a cow in that manner, and prisoner replied that it was poverty that made him do it. The policeman took the cow and witness had lost his five pounds.-P.C. Rowlands said that from information received he found the cow in a field near Brymbo. He saw that the cow was a strange one.—Sir Theodore Martin asked if that was witness's district, and he replied that it was not.—Sir Theodore: Then how do you know that it was a strange cow? Witness said that he was in search of the cow, and he afterwards apprehended the prisoner. On the 19th he received information from Sergt. Jones that the cow was stolen from a person of the name of John Hughes, of Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog, and from that he proceeded in search of the cow and the man. He went to Ruthin, and there he heard that a man was seen leading a cow towards Wrexham, and he (witness) went by train to Wrexham, and went back along the road in search of the cow. As going along the road between Southsea and Coedpoeth, he saw a lot of cattle in a field, and from a description of the cow he was satisfied that she was the cow that was wanted. He asked a woman whom the cows belonged to, and she said they belonged to Robert Jones, to whom he went, and asked him if he had a strange cow but he would not for some time reply, and he (witness) told him that he was a police officer, and that he should have to take care of both him (Jones) and the cow. Jones then said that he bought her on the day before. Witness took the cow. He also went to Southsea, and there found the prisoner, whom he asked if his name was John Evans, and he said "Yes." Witness then told him that he was in search of him for stealing a cow on the Sunday night. Prisoner said that he went there on the Sunday night about nine, thinking it was no harm, because the man he stole it from was a relative of his (Laughter). Witness sent for the owner of the cow, and took the man and the cow to Wrexham. The owner of the cow had her at present.-Capt. Best enquired whether a summons had been issued for receiving stolen property, and, on being answered in the negative, observed that it was a very suspicious case, a man having bought a cow worth from £10 to F.11 for £ 7, and then refusing to give information to the police.-The prisoner was committed to the assizes.
