LONDON WINE AND SPIRIT STORES, TERRACE ROAD, IS NOW OPEN, BY THE PROPRIETOR OF THE WELL-KNOWN ADJOINING ESTABLISHMENT, THE RAILWAY TEA WAREHOUSE, NORTH PARADE, ABERYSTWYTH. Now surely Aberystwyth must admit That JAMES has made a most decided hit. THE OPENING OF THE LONDON WINE AND SPIRIT STORES, in connection with the Railway Tea Warehouse, North Parade, is an event that will long be remembered by the inhabitants of Aberystwyth. Every new channel of commerce opened in direct communication with the metropolis is an advantage to Aberystwyth, and the more London capital imported into the borough the better, and when that capital is employed in providing articles of the highest excellence and purity so much the better for the domestic comfort and happiness of every household. The Wines and Spirits of this establishment will be drawn from the wood in all their individual purity, without the least approximation to anything in the shape of adulteration, so much practised at the present day. The same may be said of the splendid Ales and Porter, all tapped and drawn from the wood in the highest possible condition and when we add that the whole of this carefully selected and well bought Stock will be Sold to the inhabitants of Aberystwyth at the very smallest return upon the outlay of capital, we think we have stated enough to induce them to patronize this new emporium of active and beneficial commerce.

Philips, of Abbey Cwinhir, the Conservative candidate who intends to oppose the election of the Marquis of Hartington for these boroughs, is out. He declares himself an advocate of "progressive Conservatism, ready to support any measure calculated to improve existing institutions," but he would oppose all schemes tending to imperil the constitution. He is of opinion that freedom of worship should be extended to all, and as a member of the Established Church he says he is most anxious to support the Protestant character of the religion of our country. The education and welfare of the labouring classes, he says, would meet with his careful consideration, if elected. ELECTION EXPENSES FOR THE DENBIGHSHIRE BOROUGHS. —From the returns just issued by the returning officer, it appears that the expenses of contesting these boroughs was altogether 92,942 6s. 5d. Of this sum Mr Mainwaring, the Conservative candidate, who was defeated, is debited with £ 1,027 7s. 8d., and the sitting Liberal member, MrWatkin Williams, with £ 1,914 18s. 9d. Mr Mainwaring's expenses include £ 247 2s. 4d. for printing and advertising, £ 233 8s. 6d. for solicitors, £ 80 3s. 6d. for canvassers, 2134 Is. 5d. for committee rooms and refreshments, and 2205 14s. lOd. for messengers, &c. Mr Williams pays the sum of E402 5s. 3d. for printing and advertising, 21,107 12s. lOd. for solicitors, and only B59 7s. lOd. for canvassers, £80 Os. 6d. for committee rooms and refresh- ments, and £ 60 15s. Id. for runners, kc. The item for committee rooms and refreshments in Mr Williams's expenses includes a sum oft36 9s. lOd. which is disputed. EXTRAORDINARY BEHAVIOUR OF A DOG.-A resident in North Wales sends the following account of the extraor- dinary antics of a dog. He says:—"I have frequently been compelled to ride-also, as a matter of choice—in the guard's van from Ruabon to Bala. On several occasions I have noticed a half-bred sheep dog plunging down the embankment just in time to miss the last carriage, after which he runs and barks most furiously. This he has done for over three years, and the guards whom I have spoken to say he never misses a train, and he is so con- stant in his attention to his duties that,, while they are sorting their letters and parcels, they involuntarily say, There's the dog!' There are his regular tracks to and from his kennel, literally worn far plainer than a-sheep track. He never exceeds his distance, and never starts but from the one point. One of the guards told me that one day the dog was out with his master shooting, and more than a mile from the rail, but when the train was due he set off in spite of whistle, coaxing, and threats; he met his train as usual, punctual to the moment! and then returned to his master. This scene may be witnessed every day close to the Trevor station." THE LATE STORM.—We continue to hear sad accounts of damage done and loss entailed by the late dreadful storm on the west coast. At Borth many cottagers were flooded out, and water still remains in some of the low-lying yards and gardens, where there are no means of draining it off. Considerable injury was done to the house property facing the beach, and it will be some time before the effects of the tempest are forgotten. Adjoining the railway at Ynyslas are two rows of cottages, in a very low situation, and these were completely encircled with the flood, the water rising within the walls to the height of six or eight feet. As the houses are slightly built and stand upon peat soil, fears were entertained of their total destruction, but fortunately that danger, which at one period seemed imminent, was averted by the rapid subsidence of the watery element. The occupants were naturally very much affrighted, and some of them, when the flood began to decrease, lost no time in removing their household goods to higher, drier, and safer places. At Aberdovey, as in other localities, the tide rose to an unprecedented height, making various breaches in the quay wall, and flooding cellars and kitchens. A little damage was also done to the shipping, but it was not very serious. The strip of permanent way washed out of the coast line has been so far renewed as to permit of a resumption of passenger traffic, which was suspended throughout the whole of last week. DEATH OF THE MARQUIS OF ANGLESEY.—The Marquis of Anglesey died on Saturday, at Beaudesert, his seat near Lichfield. The deceased nobleman was the eldest son of Field Marshal the Marquis of Anglesey, who died in 1854, and who had been elevated to the marquisate for his dis- tinguished military services in the Peninsula and Waterloo, by his first wife Caroline Elizabeth Villiers, third daughter of George, 4th Earl of Jersey. The late peer was born in July, 1797, and had been married three times-first, to Eleanora, second daughter of the late Colonel John and Lady Charlotte Campbell, who died in July, 1828; second- ly, in August, 1833, Henrietta, fourth daughter of the late Right Hon. Sir Charles and Lady Harriet Bagot and thirdly, in 1860, the daughter of Mr G. Burnand, who survives him. By his first marriage he leaves surviving issue, Henry Earl of Uxbridge (his successor in the marquisate), and Lady Constance married to the Earl of Winchilsea; by the second marriage, Lady Florence, widow of the lately deceased Marquis of Hastings; and Lords Henry, Alexander, and Berkeley Paget. The late marquis was summoned to the House of Peers in his father's barony of Paget, in 1832, up to which time, from 1820, he had represented Anglesey in the House of Com- mons. In 1839 he was appointed Lord Chamberlain of her Majesty's household, when he was created a member of the Privy Council, and held that appointment until 1841. In June, 1854, he was appointed Lord-Lieutenant and Custos Rotulorum of the county of Anglesey. The present marquis, Henry William George, was born in 1821, and married in 1845, the second daughter of Mr James Evers- field, of Denne-park, Sussex. He was M.P. for South Staffordshire from 1834 to 1857, and was for some time an officer in the 1st Life Guards, from which regiment he retired in 1845. He was appointed Deputy-Lieutenant of Staffordshire in 1851, and was Lieutenant-Colonel of the Staffordshire Militia from 1852 to 1855. COLLIERY EXPLOSION IN SOUTH WALES.—A sad acci- dent happened at Aberdare on Tuesday, at the Fforchaman Colliery, which is about 200 yards deep, employs nearly two hundred men, and bears the reputation of being a good pit. The accident occurred in the famous four-feet seam, from which the highly gaseous steam coal is worked. In some collieries blasting in this seam is permitted but in Fforchaman Colliery the use of powder in the dislodg- ment of coal is absolutely prohibited. Last week the fire- man was asked by a workman named Griffith for leave to fire a "shot," as his coal was hard; but his request was refused, the reason assigned being the general prohibition of blasting throughout the colliery. On Monday the pit was idle. On Tuesday morning Griffith and a companion named Williams bored a hole and charged it with powder. They were cau- tioned, but to no purpose, by a fellow-workman not to fire, and finding that they were intent upon doing so, he went away. Shortly afterwards the shot was fired, and the dreadful consequences were the instant death of Griffith Williams and a man named Evans, and the injury by burns of eleven others. The firemen reported all the workings free from that gas that morning. The accident had one remarkable circumstance connected with it. A tin canister, used for carrying powder, was found with the neck blown to pieces and close by, on a heap of rubbish, a paper bag containing^ a pound of powder was intact. How it escaped ignition is a mystery. The workings sus- tained scarcely any injury at all, and an examination of the pit half-an-hour after the accident was made without the discovery of any firedamp. A MOST EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF A CHILD LIVING WITHOUT FOOD. -We give the following account just as it has been sent us by a correspondent:—"There is a little girl named Sarah Jacob, twelve years of age on the 10th day of next May (and daughter of Mr Jacob, a small farmer residing at Llethr-Neuadd, in the parish of Llanfihangel- ararth, Carmarthenshire), who had not partaken of any kind of food whatever since the 10th day of October, 1867, sixteen months ago, and is yet alive It seems that the poor little sufferer was taken ill at first whilst at school, when she threw up a quantity of blood, and was confined to her bed and slept for a month. Then she revived a little, and she now spends her time, when able, in reading good books; but her mother, or one of the family, must turn the leaves as she is too weak to reach her feeble hand to do so, though the mind is strong and expansive even. She has composed a great number of verses of poetry on different subjects, which she knows all by heart, and for the I curiosity of the reader we will quote one verse, verbatim, of her work:— I Dyro imi i gael aredu Yn yr lean, Ceidwad dyn, Cwyd fy meddwl oddiar bethau, Dirmygedig hyn o fyd; Cadw fi yn gysson genyt, Bob mynydyn yn y dydd, Niid fl grwydro 'mhell oddiwrthyt, Tra bwy yma yn y byd. Her voice is clearer than it has been. A person can un- derstand her about eight yards off. If it happens that any of the family shout or talk sharply in her hearing she falls into a fit. Many people from different parts of the king- dom visit her continually, and for the information of the reader we may state that Llethr-Neuadd is about one mile from Pencader railway station, and should any one deem it prudent to visit her he will be directed by the neighbours there."
THE ABERGELE ACCIDENT. END…
THE ABERGELE ACCIDENT. END OF THE LOTTERY SCHEME. At the Stafford Borough Petty Sessions on Thursday before Messrs W. Buxton, W. Jones, and H. W. Gibson William Greey, and Rowland Churchill, law stationers, were charged with keeping a certain house at Stafford, on the 20th of January, for the purpose of carrying out a lottery not authorised by Parliament. It will be remem- bered that the defendants were before the Bench on the 28th, and again on the 29th ult., when an adjournment to Ihursday was decided upon. Captain Congreve the Chief Constable, now said it would be m the recollection of the magistrates that the defendants, when they were before them a fortnight ago, undertook to make all the restitution that was in their power, and to put a stop to any further evil that might have arisen from the lottery. They also agreed to write to all the papers in which their advertisements had appeared, statins that the lottery would not go on, and that their various agents would return the money that had been paid them for tickets. It was arranged that, after wri- ting the letters to the newspapers and the agents, the de- fendants should bring them to his office, so that he might know that the agreement was properly carried out. The defendants did so, and the number of letters was very great. On opening some of them he found them to have been written in the terms he had prescribed. He had since received certain letters, containing applications for the return of money that had been paid to the defendants personally. With these letters he had compared the book of receipts produced a fortnight ago, and found that, with one exception, which might have been an oversight, they had accounted for every sum applied for; so that there was reason to believe the statements of receipts which they had handed in was a proper one. Under the circum- stances, he thought they had done their best to stop the lottery and make restitution. Their receipts had been about £ 50, and he feared the persons who paid the sums which made up this amount would get but a small portion of it back. Mrs Thompson, the wife of the poor man who was killed at Abergele, was now present. Perhaps the Bench would wish to hear from her own lips how her con- sent for the commencement of this undertaking was ob- tained. The London and North-Western Railway Com- pany had asked Mr Hand to conduct the prosecution, but he thought that gentleman was satisfied that so far the defendants had acted in good faith, except in regard to actually starting the lottery, and making use of the name of Mr Meynell-Ingram. As to the way in which they in- tended to dispose of the funds, that was a mere matter of conjecture. The sums received by the agents were very large, amounting to hundreds of pounds, and if they were honest men they would pay the money back on its being applied for many had probably done so already. The defendants pleading guilty, the Bench sentenced them to one day's imprisonment, and ordered them to pay costs (15s. 9<1.), or be further imprisoned for fourteen days.
ABERYSTWYTH.
ABERYSTWYTH. COUNTY COURT, TUESDAY.—Before A. J. Johnes, Esq., Judge. Claim for Damage to Coal.-In this case the plaintiff, William Thomas, a coal merchant residing in Aberyst- wyth, sued Mr E. Hamer, manager of the Manchester and Milford Railway Company, for £9 10s., for damage caused to plaintiff's coal by removal. Mr Crealock appeared for plaintiff, and Mr Atwood for defendant. This being a jury case, the following gentlemen were sworn :—Wm. Williams, draper, Aberystwyth, T. Davies, draper, Aberystwyth, R. Doughton, china dealer, Aber- ystwyth, E. L. Cole, grocer, and J. Davies, grocer.—Mr Crealock commenced by examining the defendant —Mr Edward Hamer said I am manager for the Manchester and Milford Railway Company. I had some conversation with Peter Jones, coal merchant, of this town, about a coal siding that is called wharf, No. 1. I gave him per- mission to put on that siding such coal as he received over the Manchester and Milford Railway. There was nothing said about rent. That was in the month of June. In August last he brought some coal ov.er the Cambrian system and attempted to put the coal on o. 1 siding. 1 "wrote to the stationmaster saying I would not allow the coal to be put there. The wharf does not belong to the Cambrian Railway Company. We pay five per cent. to the Cambrian Railway Company for the wharf. I^let j.i—- -1 <~ 'vr 9 to a nerson m the town. ftliuuipu wiian, m>. V" a x. ir 1 "f was not let to the parties on condition that half of the traffic came over the Manchester and Milford line. It was let on the condition that the whole of the coal put on the wharf came over the Manchester and Milford Rail- way. I had the wharfs constructed for the development of the traffic on the Manchester and Milford Railway. Other coal is put on siding No. 1, but with my special permission. I did not give Mr Thomas leave to discharge a truck of coal on No. 1 wharf, on account of its having overshot the siding. He took advantage of my absence in Carmarthen and put coal which had not come over the Manchester and Milford Railway on wharf, No. 1. I told Mr Thomas that the coal must be shifted, and I gave him a fortnight to remove the coal. Plaintiff said he would have it removed. At the expiration of the fortnight it had increased instead of becoming less. I then ordered the men to remove it. The men were stopped the first day, but I again ordered them to remove it, and it was accordingly shifted to wharf. No. 2. The coal was all of one sort, and I had it carefully removed to No. 2 wharf. I am sure it was not mixed, -His Honour said Mr Hamer was only an agent of the Company, and as the action ought to have been brought against the Manchester and Milford Railway Company plaintiff must be non-suited. r;l w Claim for Wages.-Edward Morgan, labourer, Hafod, sued Mr W. Chambers for 24 16s., due as wages. Mr Attwood for plaintiff.—Mr J. James stated that there was a set-off of £1 10s. 6d. for loss of time, and damage done to the team of which plaintiff had charge, and there was 22 paid on account, which was also charged in the claim. The 22 was paid on the 11th of December.—Plaintiff denied that he had received anything on account, and the damage to the waggon was quite an accident, as the horses fell over a bridge. There were four horses in the waggon, and three of them were blind.—Several witnesses were examined on both sides, at the conclusion of which his Honour gave judgment for plaintiff, 7s. 6d. plus kl 12s, 6d., which had been paid into court, WEDNESDAY. Bankruptcy.-In Re Peter Thomas.—Mr Atwood ap- peared for the bankrupt, and applied for his discharge. This was opposed by Mr Crealoclc on behalf of the credi- tors.—Application for discharge was made at the December court, and his Honour not being satisfied he allowed the bankrupt time in order to come to some arrangement with his creditors.—Mr Atwood stated that 3s. in the pound had been offered to the creditors, but it had been refused. The bankrupt was a gentleman's servant, and his salary was £ 30 per annum he had a very large family, and if imprisoned they would become destitute.—His Honour What is the total amount of debts.—Mr Crealock R60 after balancing the assets.—His Honour said he had no hesitation as to the mode of dealing with the case; the bankrupt at the time of his insolvency had allowed his wife to go on obtaining goods from the creditors without any possible means of paying for them. His Honour did not mean to impute fraud against the bankrupt, but it came under the meaning of the Act as rash and hazardous speculation, and he ordered that the sum of 210 be paid annually out of the bankrupt's earnings for three years, the first instalment to be paid this day three months. This concluded the business.

A case of "witchcraft" vras heard at the Carnarvon Petty Sessions last week. The witch" was an old woman named Lucy Thomas, living at the Smithfield, Carnarvon, and the story of the complainant, Ellen Parry, of Rhwngyddwyryd, was this. Whenever her sow was about to litter she consulted the "witch," whose fee was moderate, 6d, Recently she went to Lucy after the sow had littered, and when it had a bad foot. Again the fee was 6d., but the sow went on three legs for a fortnight and then died. Ellen again visited the" witch," who informed her that everything belonging to her was spell-bound, and offered to make anyone who touched her things (some e of which, she thought, had been stolen) paralyzed by the morning on payment of 2s. The two shillings were given; and subsequently the present charge was laid. The Bench considered it proved, but in consideration of the age of defendant, who was seventy, she was discharged, with a reprimand, on finding securities to be well behaved for three months.

THE "WEEKLY DISPATCH" REDUCED IN PRIOE.-On and after Sunday, January 3rd, 1869, the price of the DISPATCH will be educed to TWOPENCE. For more than sixty yeare the Dispatch has been the lead- ing organ of Liberalism in the weekly press. It was the fearless, independent, and energetic advocate—in times when such advocacy received but little encouragement and support from the classes in power-of rights which have since been conceded, and of political theories which have now become accepted facts. Every great victory achieved in the cause of liberty of thought and action during the last eventful half-century has been aided by the writers in the "Dispatch," whose names are household words with Liberal politicians. As a newspaper, a record of the events of the day, it has had no competitor for variety and ex- tent of information. The largest and most comprehensive newspaper in the world, it maY. fairly claim that its com- ments and criticisms have been impartial; and that, as the champion of those who too often would have been other- wise helpless, it has been regarded the friend and adviser of thousands upon thousands whose wrongs have been re- dressed by the energetic exposure of abuses and the suc- cessful denunciation of social wrongs. In accordance with the principles which have made the "Dispatch" the fore- most in the ranks of the Liberal journals, and the leader < of the weekly press, the proprietors have determined upon such a Reduction of the Price as will make it the cheapest, as it is already the largest weekly newspaper. Although reduced in price, it will contain the same number of pages and columns as before. New writers, tried friends of the Liberal cause, will aid the efforts of those who have so long laboured; and the unequalled facilities at command for obtaining the latest and most complete intelligence re- specting all matters of domestic and foreign interest will maintain the supremacy of the "Dispatch" as a weekly record of news. Literature, Science, Art, will be reviewed and illustrated; and new and attractive additions will be made to the special features which have so long distin- guished the Dispatch from other newspapers.—Office 139, Fleet-street, E.C.
