CORRESPONDENCE. (WE do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions of our correspondents.—ED.] SUNDAY DRINKING AT LLANGOLLEN AND THE SUNDAY CLOSING. To the Editor of the "Llangollen Advertiser." Sir,-I am very sorry to undurstand, through an w i if o11 y°ur *ssl^e of the 9th instant., that the Welsh Sunday Closing Act causes more harm than good in the fashionable and thriving little town of Llangollen; and if his calculation of Sunday drinking is correct, it must be on the increase very much indeed. But where does the fault lie?- m+v. • • wordin^ Act, on the proper authorities, or upon the publicans? It appears a if6 4wn^er that it rests on the last-named. As the Act specifies plainly that bona fide travellers only are to be supplied with beer on Sundays, and only in a quantity that is absolutely necessary (and not to the extent to intoxicate). Now the question is, Who are the bona fide travellers ? Certainly not those greedy beings from the colliery and quarry districts that visit your town expressly to get drink; and any person who desires to know, must be able to distinguish a bona fide traveller from at any rate a half-drunken miner. But the fact is they don't want to know, while the respectable innkeepers do, and seldom if at all do pesting tramps call with the latter, but at low beer-houses, where they are allowed free indulgence. Any reasonable man should know that the Act is infringed by supplying these fellows with drink at all, and that to supply them in a state of intoxication is unlawful even on other days. As this Act was passed rather hurriedly, there might be a loop-hole, of which unprincipled persons may take improper advantage. It is said that a new Act of Parliament is seldom in anything like a perfect state. But we fancy that many of those who ought to defend this needed Act are more delighted in finding some imaginary cause to blame our present legislation than in helping to see it properly carried out, or in assisting to remove abuses. However, if Llangollen has not reaped any benefit from this valuable Welsh Act, we know of localities in Wales that bless the day it came into force, and more especially may it be so said of the neighbourhood where the writer resides. There it is considered the greatest blessing in the land. Now on a Sunday people can walk the streets to their respective places of worship unmo- lested by a lounging group of half-drunken fellows and, moreover, in many instances, we have the pleasure of seeing the publicans and their whole families in a place of worship, with their beer- cellars and house-doors locked up. And I ask, Why cannot the innkeepers of Llangollen be as loyal to the Act ? The answer is obvious, though it is not a creditable one to your town. Certainly, the Sunday drinking grievance would soon be at an end if they would but respect and honestly obey the present law. -Yours, &c., A WELSHMAN. Nov. 19th, 1883. LLANGOLLEN FIRE BRIGADE. To the Editor of the Llangollen Advertiser." Sir,-Kindly allow me space for a few remarks in reference to the one-sided inquiry which was instituted by the Local Board as to the alleged negligence of the Superintendent of the Fire Brigade in refusing to go to the scene of the fire when sent for. Instead of the Board going into the foregoing matter, they made an inquiry as to the efforts put forth to extinguish the fire, which they had no right to do, neither were they requested to do so by the Insurance Company. It is not worth my while to comment on the evidence given, but shall treat it with silent contempt. The Insurance Company asks the Local Board two questions-firstly, Has the Superintendent of the Fire Brigade power to go or refuse to go to a fire when sent for ? Secondly, Or is he under the control of the Local Board ? Mr. Davies, in his evidence, says « From my knowledge of the spot, I knew it was no use going there." His own evidence goes to prove that he knew nothing whatever of the place. I can prove, which I shall do to the Insurance Company, that the engine could have been so placed that a supply of water could have been easily got from the canal. The engine could have been placed on the turnpike road, distant from the stack 35 yards, from the engine to the canal 25 yards, which is easy of access. There were thirty of my own men present, who would gladly have carried the water and, as it was, they did their very best to extinguish the fire; and, if the engine had arrived when sent for, at least five tons of hay would have been saved. i nefu further at present, but will leave the public to judge for themselves whether the Superintendent of the Fire Brigade is deserving of censure or not. Yours truly, Nov. 27th, 1883. STEPHEN TOYE.

HOME & FOREIGN CHIT-CHAT. The mutilated body of a woman was found in the Liverpool Canal, near Boundary-street Bridge, on Sunday. The current number of the British Architect contains engravings of the Churton Drinking Fountain at Whitchurch and the Peers Testimonial at Ruthin. Mr. William Evans, manager of the Chester branch of the North and South Wales Bank, has been appointed to the receivership of bankruptcy in North Wales. Foot-and-mouth disease has reappeared in Car- narvonshire. A meeting of the county magistrates was held at Carnarvon yesterday to decide what steps shall be taken. In the action brought against the Crown by Surgeon Wheeler to recover £1,470 for services rendered, a Dublin jury on Thursday returned a verdict for the full amount claimed. One of the Yorkshire newspapers gives an account of an examination in which a boy, on being asked to name one of the minerals of Australia, promtly replied, Tinned mutton." Notices of 5 per cent. reduction were posted on Wednesday evening in many cotton mills in North- east Lancashire. The operatives are strongly opposed to any reduction, and a great strike is threatened. in the Queen's Bench, on Tuesday, William Williams, solicitor, practising at Pontypridd, was suspended for one year for having, as alleged, in- duced a client to take a second mortgage which he knew to be worthless. The Duchess of Westminster, on Tuesday, opened a bazaar in the Grosvenor Assembly Room, Chester, which is being held in aid of the fund for the restoration of the porch and the enclosure of the tower ruins of St. John's Church, Chester. The warehouse of Mr. William Roberts, general merchant, Menai Bridge, was broken into on Wednesday night week, an entrance being effected through the roof. The drawers were opened and ransacked, but the burglar got nothing worth carrying off. At a representative meeting of the slate quarry proprietors of North Wales, it was resolved to rf- vfr P"ces the larger sizes of slates, and to slightly increase the prices of some of the smaller sizes. These alterations will come into operation with the new year. At Ynysddu, Monmouthshire, last week, a statue to the popular modern Cymric poet, Islwyn," was unveiled by Mr. Alfred Thomas, the ex-Mayor 2 Contributions towards the monument fund have been received from all parts of the country, and from distant colonies. Notices have been issued by the North Wales Miners demanding an advance of 15 per cent. on the present rate of wages. The notice will termi- nate next month, when the men express their determination to come out on strike if the advance 18 ivr^ coriCeded by the masters. Mr. Henry Robertson has, it appears, abandoned his scheme for converting the Dee from Chester to Connah's Quay into a canal, but he has intimated to the Chester Town Council that he is prepared to proceed, at the request of that body or any persons who so desire, with the remainder of his project for the improvement of the navigation of the river. An outbreak of scarlet fever at Southsea and Lower Vron, colliery villages near Wrexham, has been reported by the medical officer to the rural sanitary authority of the district, and a special meeting will be held to consider what steps are necessary to take to prevent the spread of the disease. The first meeting of creditors under the recent heavy failure of Mr. Morris Ranger, cotton broker, was held in Liverpool, on Thursday week. Mr. H. Banner was appointed trustee, and it was decided to wind up the estate in liquidation, with a com- mittee of inspection. It was stated that in all probability the estate would realise nothing for the creditors. A white crow who resides in the east tower of the ancient castle of Bran sends me a line to say —"At a recent thanksgiving service held in a chapel not a hundred miles from Llangollen, one of the men who prayed concluded thus 0 God, let no barley be grown henceforth, so that no beer may be brewe 1.' (A reverend gentleman present had had a good harvest of barley, and had sold it to the highest bidder, who happened to be a brewer.)"—C. Mr. Morris,' Lloran Issa, invited many of the farmers, &c., round Llansilin to a day's coursing on his land at Rhiwlas on Friday last. The morning promised a wet day, but towards noon it cleared up, and they were enabled to proceed in search of pussy. About twenty were started, and of this number twelve were captured. Once or twice pussy managed to elude the dogs after she had been in their midst. Mr. Morris had a substantial lunch provided at the Ty Ucha. A sad accident occurred to Mr. Rowland Williams, Glanymorfa, Morfa Bychan, on Satur- day week as he was returning with his horse and cart from Criccieth. In order to let another horse and cart pass he descended from his own cart, and on attempting to re-enter it, slipped and fell, the cart passing over his body. Although the cart was empty, he sustained such internal injuries that death occurred about six hours after the accident. The deceased, who was unmarried, was much respected in the neighbourhood. A shocking affray occurred at Poole late on Saturday night. A quarrel arose in a low part of the town between two Danes belonging to the brigantine Juno, of Norkopping, and a number of other men. In the course of the fracas, one of the Danes drew a knife and inflicted four wounds upon a potteryman, named James, and seriously wounded another man named Biggs. James died almost immediately. Biggs lies in a critical condition. The Danes were subsequently apprehended on the charge of murder. Mr. Richard, M.P., addressed his Mountain Ash constituents on Thursday night week. He con- demned political loquacity, and credited the legis- lation with having achieved great reforms, but he said that both political parties were guilty of financial extravagance. He maintained that the disestablishment and disendowment of the Church in Wales would vastly enhance the utility of the Church, and rediculed Lord Emlyn's notion that the Welsh cj^rgy Were the saviours of the Welsh people from infidelity and papistry. An exciting scene was witnessed at Chester on Friday. Shortly before eleven o'clock in the forenoon a poorly-clad woman was crossing the Grosvenor Bridge, and on reaching the centre of the structure she precipitated herself over the parapet, falling into the river Dee, some 80 feet beneath. A man who was present jumped into the river and succeeded in rescuing the drowning woman, who was taken to Wlgwr«, iri?rmary> when it was found that she ? „ w tatled such serious injuries as might • thelima fcSfSrtfc. ™ A E XT deltrtum tremens.

FOOTBALL INTELLIGENCE. Many will learn with regret that the Bolton Wan- derers have had to withdraw their engagement with the Berwyn Rangers on Boxing Day, owing to some of their ties coming off on that date. Corwen played Ruthin Grammar School, on Saturday, at Corwen, and beat the school by two goals to one. The visitors obtained their goal in the first half, by a combined rush, while Corwen scored in the other part of the game, R. Roberts kicking the first and J. Roberts the second. A match, Choristers v. Excelsiors (two local clubs), was played on the ground of the former, at Peny- maes, on Saturday, and resulted in favour of the Choristers by two goals and two disputed to none. Some good play was shown on both sides, the back play of J. Richards for the Excelsiors, however, being the most conspicuous. Three ties in the second round for the Wales and Border Counties Association Challenge Cup were decided on Saturday. Oswestry v. Trefonen, played at Woodhill, resulted in a win for Oswestry by four goals to nil; Wrexham beat Rhostyllen Victoria, at Wrexham, by two goals to none; and the Druids had a victory over Gwersyllt Foresters, in Gwersyllt Park, of seven goals to one. At the last match one of the Gwersyllt players unfortunately met with an accident-slipping, he fell on his left arm and fractured it. He was carried off the field to the nearest doctor's, and the injured limb was set. In the return match, Berwyn Rangers v. Coed- poeth, played at Llangollen on Saturday, the Rangers won by five goals to none. The home team's left wing did excellent work before change of ends, when the three goals scored were obtained by Bob Roberts, but afterwards it was not so fortunate, the honour of scoring the other two being claimed by E. Evans. Coedpoeth made a good stand considering that they played some of their second team, and that their proper goal keeper (S. L. Jones) had to perform the duty of an half-back; but when Jones took his position between the posts the latter end of the game he evoked considerable admiration by the manner in which he repulsed the attacks of the Rangers, and most likely had he gone to his own post at the start the result would have been different. The Rangers have played with better judgment than they did on this occasion. The first ties for the Northern Welsh Association Challenge Cup, of which the Bangor club is the holder, were played at Carnarvon on Saturday, the Carnarvon Colts meeting Beaumaris, and the Car- narvon Heroes met Bangor. Some surprise was excited at an arrangement which permitted of two ties being played in the same town on the same day -an arrangement which naturally divided the interest and so spoilad the gate-money. Interest on Saturday centered chiefly in the tie between Bangor and the Heroes. It was generally anticipated that the latter, which is a new club, would come out very much second best. These anticipations were, how- ever, not realised, and the Heroes made a capital stand, and have no reason whatever to be ashamed of or disheartened by their defeat, the game ending in favour of Bangor by five goals to three. In the other tie the Carnarvon Colts were victorious by three goals to two. Major Platt has accepted the presi- dency of the association. BERWYN RANGERS FIXTURES. Dec. 1st, v.

WHAT IS THIS DISEASE THAT IS COMING UPON US?. Like a thief at night, it steals in upon us unawares. Many persons have pains about the chest and sides, and sometimes in the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has a bad taste, especially in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite is poor. There is a feeling like a he tvy load on the stomach; sometimes a faint all-gone sensation at the pit of the stomach which food does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become cold and feel clammy After a while a cough sets in at first dry, but after a few months it is attended with a greenish coloured expectoration. The afflicted one feels tired all the while, and sleep does not seem to afford any rest. After a time he becomes nervous, irritable and gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is a giddiness, a sort of whirling sensation in the head when rising up suddenly. The bowels become costive; the skin is dry and hot at times; the blood becomes thick and stagnant: the whites of the eyes become tinged with yellow; the urine is scanty and high coloured, depositing a sediment after standing. There is frequently a spitting up of the food, sometimes with a sour taste, and sometimes with a sweetish taste; this is frequently attended with palpitation of the heart; the vision becomes impaired with spots before the eyes; there is a feeling of great pros- tration and weakness. All of these symptoms are in turn present. It is thought that nearly one third of our popula- tion has this disease in some of its varied forms. It has been found that medical men have mistaken the nature of this disease. Some have treated it for liver complaint, others for kidney disease, &c., &c., but none of the various kinds of treatment have been attended with success, because the remedy should be such as to act harmoniously upon each one of these organs, and upon the stomach as well; for in Dyspepsia (for this is really what the disease is) all of these organs partake of this disease and require a remedy that will act upon all at the same time. Seigel's Curative Syrup acts like a charm in this class of complaints, giving almost immediate relief. The following letters, from chemists of standing in the community where they live show in what estimation the article is held :— Thomas Dale, Upperbridge, HolmfirthYour Curative Syrup sells wonderfully well, and gives every satisfaction." W. Wilkinson, Rushden, Highham Ferrers:—"I find in- creased demand for large sizes, which shows it finds favour with the people. J. M. Clenneilj 52, Derby Street, Newcastle I know of instances where it has not merely relieved, but actually cured after using it two or three months; but testimonials are, I believe, often withheld from a false delicacy of allow- ng the names to be made public." i George Drury, Southwell" Though I have been a patent medicine seller now over thirty years, yet I never knew such a run on any medicine before as I have had on yours, and many persons have told me of the benefit they have derived from it. My brother in Lincoln says the same. The sale is wonderful." Thomas Miller,Wednesfield"Your medicines have given great satisfaction in this district, and many of my customers speak highly of Mother Seigel's Syrup." Wm. Flower, Beccles:—" It is not my habit to recommend any patent medicine to my customers in individual cases but always have a good word to say for Mother Seigel when my opinion is asked." P. S. Ballard. Wootton Bassett I have met with some really astonishing cures performed by Seigel's Syrup, and I recommend it to all my customers." G. H. White, 39, Commercial Street, Mountain AshI can personally testify to the merits of your medicines James Fisher Edisbury, M.P.S., 3, High Street, Wrex- ham I have recommended Seigel's Syrup, as my personal and relative experiences of its merits are indisputable W. H. Hewett, West Cowes, 1. W. Your medicine I have a large sale for-a sale which most certainly does not decrease now that the novelty is wearing off, which speaks well for its real merits." W. S. Glass, Friockheim It is about the only genuine patent medicine in the market" Edward Tamplin, Kingston-upon-Thames —"The sale of your Syrup is sustained by its own merits." J. H. Evans, Market Cross, Lymm:—" I have received several very flattering reports of the benefits derived from the use of Mother Seigel's Syrup and Pills,'which are at all times to me a source of much greater pleasure than any pecuniary advantage, as I can conceive of no greater pleasure in this life than that of being instrumental in relieving the sorrows of suffering humanity."

A WISE DEACON. Deacon Wilder, I want you to tell me how you kept yourself and family so well the past season, when all the rest of us have been sick so much, and have had the doctors running to us so often." Brother Taylor, the answer is verr easy. I used Hop Bitters in time, and kept my well, and saved large doctor's bills. Fouy shillings' worth of it kept us all well and able to work all the time, and I will warrant it has cost you and most of the neighbours .£10 to £ 100 apiece to keep sick the same time. I fancy you'll take my medicine hereafter." See Advt.

(1084d) CALCUTTA Exa IBITION. -There is every indication that this Exhibition will be a great success. The number of Visitors is expected to be so large that arrangements are being made for an encampment outside the city. All the space set apart for Exhibitors is already bespoke. We understand that Cadbury Bros, have been appointed Sole Purveyors of the Cocoa and Chocolate consumed at the Exhibition. The reason why so many are unable to take Cocoa is, that the varieties commonly sold are mixed with starch, under the plea of rendering them soluble; while really making them thick, heavy, and indiges- tible. This may be easily detected, for if Cocoa thickens in the cup it proves the addition of starch. Cadbury's Cocoa Essence is genuine; it is therefore three times the strength of these Cocoas, and a refreshing beverage like Tea or Coffee. Remember that for Corns and Bunions no remedy is equal to Allcock's Corn or Bunion Plasters. The universal verdict is that they relieve almost instan- taneously. Why cringe with pain, when by wearing one of these little plasters you can walk uprightly and wear the tightest boots with ease? Try a 7|d.packet as sample.

[CENTRAL NEWS TELEGRAMS.] L LLANGOLLEN ADVERTISER OFFICE, Thursday Evening. The Bank rate is unaltered, but Consols are a sixteenth lower. The publicans of Ipswich have determined to support Sir J. Charley,the Conservative candidate. A Central News telegram, dated Madrid, Thursday, says that the Emperor William has telegraphed to King Alphonso, offering the sincerest and heartiest birthday wishes, and assuring him of frienship for life. Wolff and Bondurand, the alleged socialists, were charged at Bow-street Police Court,London, to-day, with being in possession of explosives. Mr. Pollard, who prosecuted, said that the pri- soners' object was to cause explosions and to gain rewards for giving information beforehand.
