ABERYSTWYTH WATER.—MELINDWR SPRINGS. Si-u,-The gauging of these springs have been taken this day, and prove a yield of 508,000 gallons per 24 hours. They were guaged a week ago in the presence of the Town Surveyor, and then the yield was greater than to-day, but I account for it in this way, that the surface water came into the rivulets leading to and from the springs, but not affecting the springs. The gaugings taken now extend over a period of ten months, and the results I venture to say are highly satis- factory.—I am, &c., Jxo. E. THOMAS. Aberystwyth, August 1st, 1877. AN OLD TOY REVIVED. SIR,—There is to be seen now in some of the shop windows in Aberystwyth a very interesting and a very instructive little toy. It consists of a little hollow glass ball, capable of turning horizontally between two pivots, which are placed vertically. The ball has two arms, situated diametrically opposite to each other. The end of each arm is bent at right angles to itself, but in the direc- tion opposite to the end of the other. A little spirit lamp, when lighted and placed below the ball, about two-thirds full of water, completes the arrangement for starting. For some time the tiny globe is motionless, but presently steam is ejected from one of the arms the ball begins to move round, slowly at first, but faster and faster still as more and more steam is given off at last, whirling round and round with such velocity that the arms become in- visible, and the coloured liquid within rises, by centrifugal action, to the very top of the ball. The first feeling one experiences, on seeing the little ;-lobe whirl round with such speed, is one of pleasing astonishment, but when one is aware that this is really a model of the first steam-engine invented by man, a feeling of deep interest takes possession of one too. It was invented more than 2,000 years ago by Heron of Alexandria*, who describes it in a work on Pneumatics, written by him, entitled Spirittlia."t A careful observation soon reveals the fact that the machine turns in a direction exactly opposite to that in which the steam escapes. How is this ? Nay, why does it turn at all ? If steam were entering those arms one could readily understand it, but, on the contrary, steam is issuing from them. Sir Isaac Newton's third great law of motion tells us that action and re-action are equal and opposite. The principle of this machine is at once explained by this law. In the example before us, action signifies pressure. The pressure of the issuing steam re-acts upon the tube in an opposite direction, and with an equal force, consequently the whole machine moves in a contrary direction. If we imagine both the arms to be bent in the same direction, then, other things being equal, our little toy would be motionless, for in this case we should have a pair of equal parallel forces, acting in the same direction, at equal dis- tances from the same axis. The only practical result of this would be friction on the pivots. In the other case we clearly have a couple, or a pair of equal and opposite parallel forces the result of such an arrangement of the forces must be motion, there being an axis about which the machine can turn. Lest this explanation be not explicit enough, I will endeavour to give a simpler one. Conceive that the apertures of both arms are closed, and also that steam is being generated inside the globe. We know that a fluid presses equally, and in all directions upon a vessel contain- ing it, and that the pressure is independent of the form of that vessel. Supposingthat the area of the closed end be the same as the area of that portion of the tube opposite to it at the bend, then the steam will press equally on both those areas. Now imagine that the closed end is suddenly snapped off; the pressure at that point is relieved, steam issues violently, but the pressure opposite to the broken end remains as before. The result is, and must be, motion in a direction contrary to that in which the steam makes its exit. In the former case we had two equal forces, acting in opposite directions, in the same straight line-no motion can result from this. In the latter case we have taken away one of those forces the result is motion. This machine has been termed an eolipyle or reaction machine. The very same principle is seen in the hydraulic tourniquet or Barker's mill, exhibited in certain shop windows in London. Here a liquid takes the place of a gas. This is a machine obviously capable of doing work, and by suitable mechanical contrivances it is possible that that work could be measured to a nicety. Attempts to apply it practically have proved abortive, from its inefficiency as compared with the steam-engine of the present day. The invention of Heron, admirable as it is, sinks im- measurably below the vastly greater one of Watt. Never- theless the former is probably a pure invention, that is the work of an intellect unaided. The latter is not so, but it is a beautiful structure, reared by a gigantic intellect upon a foundation laid by others.—I am, &c., Strata Florida. E. HALSE. He lived from B.C. 284-221. t The best edition of Heron's works is published in the Veterum Matheuiaticwum Opera. Paris, 1693. Italian and German translations of his Spiritalia have appeared, the latter in 16S8. PONTRHYDYGROES.—THE DRINK TRAFFIC. SIR,-I beg to call the attention of one or two who spoke on the above-named subject in a meeting which was held here recently, the proceedings of which were reported in the Cambrian News last week. One of the speakers said that he was a public officer himself, and living in a glass house. It would, therefore, be a dangerous thing for him so throw stones. At the same time, however, he forgot where he lived, and made many personal remarks. His first complaint was against the publicans for sup- plying drunken men with too much drink. How in the world can the publican know the exact quantity sufficient for each customer ? The consumer ought to be the best judge. The speaker also wanted TO make out that on a certain occasion a drunken man was supplied with more drink in the presence of a policeman. Now, Mr. a few instances on this point will give satisfaction to many. The speaker's second complaint was that none of the publicans of Pontrhydygroes were included in the list of those who were convicted for violating the Licence Act. It is his aim to saddle the police with neglect of duty, a charge entirely without foundation. It is a pity he is not the chief constable, and I ask him in the name of all the publicans here, to name any house or houses where any intoxicating drink has been sold during the prohibited hours or after the closing time for the last few months. If he can prove that to the satisfaction of the public, then we shall listen to him. One fact is better than many hints. Another gentleman got up, and said that he did not know what the public houses were good for. They were no good for travellers, because they had no accommoda- tion. He added that he knew certain public houses that had but one bed in them. That gentleman ought to be brought up for such a misrepresentation, if he referred to any house here. I say there is not such a house in Yspytty parish. I do not know about his own, but that is out of the question. Everyone of the public houses at Pontrhydygroes has accommodation at least for a man and a herse. An uncivilized negro could not reflect a deeper black colour on his neighbours. I consider such a spouter unworthy of credence in any public meeting.—I am, &c., YSTWYTHIAN. THE FACTORIES ACT AND DRESSMAKERS. SIR,-Perhaps you will be kind enough to allow me through your columns to call the attention of dressmakers, milliners, and others who e-nploy a number of young females as apprentices, to the following cases, the report of which appeared in the Daily Telegraph of the 23rd instant. The first runs thu« ;— ",IIarlborotigli-strec-t.-Tlie Factories Act.—Madame Marie Mercier, dressmaker, of 45, Park-street, Grosvenor- square, attended in answer to six summonses taken out against ber by Mr. James Henderson, inspector of factories, for unlawfully employing; six young workpeople after four o'clock in the afternoon on Saturday.—Mr. Henderson stated that on visiting the defendant's premises at a quarter to five on the afterrooji of July 7th, he found six or eight females at work.—The defendant said she did not know she was doing wrong.—Mr. Henderson said that could not have been the case, as she had previously been served with a printed notice as to the illegality of the proceeding.—Mr. Newton, after cautioning the.defendant, ordered her to pay 3S. and costs i4 each case. The second, of A similar character, took place at Dublin and is as follows Dublin. At the police court yester- day, two dressmakers, Mrs. Seagrave and Mrs. Conroy, were fined 30s. and' 24 respectively, for keeping girls at work after four o'clock on Saturday," These cases speak for themselves. The same law applies to Aberystwyth, I suppose, and yet, from what I have been given to understand, I think that not a few of the Aberystwyth dressmakers are liable to a similar, if not indeed to a heavier penalty, as I am told that they are open to prosecution on-other counts as well as the one referred to in the above cases. In some cases young girls from 13 to 18 and over, are kept in close, ill-ventilated rooms until 9 or even 10 o'clock at night, and that every night almost, without any thought of a holiday or half holiday throughout the week. Can nothing be done to remedy this evil practice, ruinous as it is to the health of so many young girls ? I really think that some steps ought to be taken to ensure for them the protection which the Factories Act is supposed to give. Will no one take this matter up?—I am &c,, SYMPATHISER. LLWYNGWRIL SCHOOLS. SIR,—Lately, in a Welsh paper called Y Dywjisogaeth, I saw a long article by some one signing himself "John Jones," concerning the forthcoming School Board election in this parish iu which the writer asked some questions concerning the two schools in the village of Llwyngwril, and gave us his opinion as to the best men to be elected on the Hoard for the next three years. Now, whoever may differ trom .1.)hn Jones in the counsels he gave us, there can be little doubt as TO the pertinency of his questions, and the reasonableness of his propositions with regard to the schools. Certainly there must be something radically wrong somewhere. Something must be done for education in this parish that has not been done hitherto, if our Board is to keep pace with the voluntary system in the parish, or if our children are to be educated in a manner pro- portionate to the money expended thereon. It is very unsatisfactory to us ratepayers to think that we have to pay £100, or more, with a good house in addition, and keep a pupil teacher also, to teach a school in which only 40 children (12 of whom were infants) could be pre- sented to Her Majesty's Inspector whereas its rival, the National School, presented 2G, only five of whom were infants. And, we know that the master of the latter school receives a great deal less money for his labours than we have to pay ours, besides the house and the pupil teacher, which are no better than superfluous perquisites. If there are 90 pupils "on the books," as it was stated lately in the Cambrian JVcws, and "only 40 had made the required number of attendances," the attendance must be very bad indeed. Pray, what is become of the School Board's bye-laws which were made and ordained" on the 29th of June, 1876? It is all very well to have tea parties, and sub-examinations, conducted by friends, "to show the parents of the children attending the school what the children had learnt during the past year;" but the Board must remember that more work and less show would please the ratepayers better, and if the master wishes to show us what the children had learnt during the past year," let him give us the Government Report, which will be very much more acceptable to us than the result of any examination of his. The afore named writer, John Jones," has called upon both schools to publish their reports, which was only a. fair request on behalf of the parents of the children. It is fair to say that the ratepayers in general have no claim upon the National School; but we have a right to know the particulars concerning a school which is sup- ported by our own money, and ostensibly carried on for the education of our children; and I call upon the Board to give us the following particulars; the exact dates OIl which there was no school in the past school year; the average number of children in attendance throughout the year and in what ratio per cent. were the "passes," or the total number ofpasses," in reading, writing, and arithmetic, severally, in the different standards separately. Public bodies, using public money, should do all "above board." -I am, &c., X.Y.Z. THE ROADS IN THE TREGARON UNION. S I it,-A-ftny persons, I have no doubt, regret the very sudden death of Mr. Davies, the late road surveyor of the upper district of this union. Now I thing it would be advisable for the Highway Board to join the two districts together, as they were a few years ago. The Board has already had enough experience in keeping the roads under the superintendence of two surveyors. The expense of keeping the roads now in repair is nearly double what it was under one surveyor, and the roads are in no better condition this very day, if so good, than they were when superintended by one surveyor a few years ago. There are only 180 miles of road in the entire union, conse- quently not too much for one good man-a man that understands his duties, and knows what to give for a piece of work, and can devote the whole of his time to his work. It is my firm belief that unles.3 the Board will appoint one surveyor to superintend the two districts, the highway rates will continually increase. Indeed, I am wrong in speaking of two surveyors; there are more than two surveyors, as every labourer is his own sur- veyor-he can do as he likes, as much as he likes, come and go when he likes, and charge what he likes. Now it's time the Board should look these things in the face, or else the burden will become intolerable. TRURO.
LLWYNGWRIL.
LLWYNGWRIL. THE NATIONAL SCHOOL.—We are happy to learn that the above school is now in a most flourishing state, under the mastership of Mr. Ed. Williams, C.M., in whom we can boast, as being fully competent and capable to fulfil his tedious and responsible duties. We also understand that both the National School and the Board School have been lately under inspection by the Rev. E. T. Watts, M.A., H.M.'s Inspector of schools, and that the former has passed very satisfactorily. Having had a verbatim copy of the inspector's report on the above mentioned school, we beg to publish the same, so that those parents who have chil- dren in this school, see that there is no deficiency in their tu- ition, but to the contrary, that the following proves it to be very efficiently carried on:—"This little school has passed a very fair examination both in the elementary and extra subjects." The grant amounted to B20 7s., that is 14s. 7d. per child on the average attendance. We trust that our readers will not imagine an idea that we show more par- tiality to one school than the other; we only think that by publishing as many as we can of H. M.'s Inspector's reports, we shall be able to know whether education in Wales is such as it ought to be. Probably, some one will think so in this affair, because we have not added the inspector's report on the Board School as well to this cor- respondence. In fact, we have not been supplied at all with a copy of it, and consequently we could not publish it now, yet we shall be delighted to have it, and trust that some one who is interested in the education of children, will kindly send us a verbatim copy of it, not for the sake of comparing both schools, but for the sake of knowing whether our children are properly instructed or not. The Llangelynin parishioners would certainly be glad to know the result at both schools.-Youn CORRESPONDENT, July 30, 1877.
CRICCIETH.
CRICCIETH. MEDICAL.—Among those who passed the primary pro- fessional examination of the Royal College of Surgeons and the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, held on the 18th and 19th July, we are glad to find the name of Mr. R. Roberts, Talarfor, of this place. IMPROVEMENT ACT.-The Local Board have deemed it expedient to have the following notice put up again Notice is hereby given, that the Criccieth Local Board have by deed under their common seal abandoned and ul extinguished every right of pasturage, right of com- mon, private right of way, or right in the nature thereof, in, over, or affecting the lands belonging to the said Local Board, &c. Notice is also given, that legal proceedings will be instituted against the owners of cattle, sheep, pigs, geese, &c., found trespassing on the said lands." The position of one like the Inspector of Nuisances, who has to deal with people who have been accustomed to keep geese, ducks, &c., which were always allowed to stray on the common and by-lanes, is not a very enviable one, and we are already informed that some of them refuse to con- form with the Act. In view of the many onerous and often unpleasant duties which the inspector has to discharge, it is to be hoped the Local Board, as well as those who have the interests of the place at heart, will give him every encouragement and support.
BARMOUTH.
BARMOUTH. MEDICAL.—Mr. David Wolseley Scott, recently of Bar- mouth, has passed the examination of the faculty of phy- sicians and surgeons at Glasgow.
PENRHYNDEUDRAETH.
PENRHYNDEUDRAETH. SUDDEN DEATH.—A very sudden death took place at the Cambrian Railway Station, Penrhyn, on Wednesday evening, July 25. Robert Jones, upwards of sixty years of age, driver at the Pengwern Arms Hotel, Festiniog, had come down with a conveyance to meet a party coming by the last train. He was holding the heads of the horses outside of the station, when he suddenly dropped down in- sensible, and soon after breathed his last. It is not known whether it was from heart disease or apoplexy. THE HARLECH FESTIVAL.—A meeting of the Committee of the Ardudwy Choral Union was held on Saturday, July 28, in the schoolroom at Penrhyndeudraeth. Mr. L. H. Thomas, the president of the Union, occupied the chair, and there were present the Rev. T. J. Wheldon, B.A., vice-president, Mr. Edwin Jones, Towyn, Mr. H. Jones, Dolgelley, Mr. J. Roberts, Portmadoc, and Mr. O. O. Roberts, Dolgelley, secretaries, and the leaders of the Llan, Festiniog, Blaenau, Rhiw, and other choirs. The Llan, Festiniog, Blaenau, Rhiw, and other choirs. The receipts at the last festival were stated to be JE213 7s. 2d. It was agreed to devote £50 towards the expenses of the choirs, and to purchase the timber seats, platform, &c. Votes of thanks were then passed to the retiring officers who were re-elected for the ensuing year. The question of next year's programme was taken into consideration, and it was agreed to perform Judas Maccabeus at the evening meeting of the eleventh festival. Mr. John Thomas's cantata of Llewelyn was produced, and fur- ther enquiries directed respecting it. The question of ob- taining an orchestra for the ensuing festival was discussed at some length. THA proposition was favourably received, and everything will be done with that end in view. PETTY SESSIONS, JULY 26.-Before Mr. John Jones, Ynysfor (chairman), Major Mathew, Wern, Mr. J. E. Greaves, and Mr. Oakeley. Trespass in Pursuit of Game.—Owen Parry was charged by William Cameron, keeper to Lord Harlech, with this offence on the 14th July. About 9 p.m. complainant heard a shot on land held by David Thomas, Fycheswen, Talsarnau, within 100 yards. Defendant came up to him, and he took possession of his gnn; defendant asked for pardon. Complainant did not see defendant shoot.—De- fendant was fined 10s., and 10s. 6d. costs. ) Drunk aud Riotons.-Edward Lewis, charged by P.S. Robert Jones. with this offence at Fourcrosses, Festiniog, on the evening of the 9th July, admitted the offence, and was fined 5s., and 10s. 6d. costs.-Griffith Williams, Caeclyd, Festiniog,, charged by P.C. Griffith Griffiths with this offence near the Abbey Arms Hotel, Festiniog, on the 30th June, admitted the offence, and was fined 7s. 6d., and costs, 10s. 6d. Assault. -Richard Thomas, Tanllech, Harlech, was charged with assaulting a little girl called Ellen Williams on the 14th July, but the case was dismissed.—Alice Owen v. Hugh Roberts, miner.—Complainant went up to her house at Penllyn, Penrhyn, in drink, and offered her a kick, but was prevented by his mother from delivering it. He afterwards kicked at her door. Neglecting to Report an Accideitt.-T. Fanning Evans, H.M. Inspector of Mines, v. Thomas Gill Jenkins, agent of the Votty and Bowydd Slate Company.—The defen- dant was charged under the Metalliferous Mines Act with neglecting to report an accident which resulted fatally.— Complainant said that he received the notice produced, bearing the date of the 24th April last, but without any signature, stating that a young man of the name of Hugh Edwards had met with a slight accident, but which termi- nated fatally. What he submitted was that the notice should have been given on the 13th, the day of the acci- dent, instead of the 23rd, the day of the death. To prove that it was a serious accident, Mr. Evans called Evan Roberts, who said he remembered the 13th, the day when the accident look place. He and Hugh Edwards worked near each other at the quarry, and he had just been speak- ing to him before the accident occurred. He (witness) had gone from him when he heard the noise of a fall of the rock, and heard Daniel, the miner, ask Edwards if he had been hurt. Edwards replied, "Yes, boy, I believe I have broken my leg." Daniel called witness down, and when he went down he saw Edwards standing on one foot with the other hanging. Witness sent Daniel to fetch a linen jacket, and he tied Edwards's foot up, and they took him away. It was the chain that went under a. piece on a slant rock, raising it from its place, so that it came down, striking Edwards on the foot. The stone was so big that he could hardly move it. The bones of the leg were crushed. and witness could hear the splinters of bone creak against one another. The man did not lose much blood on the way home. He (witness) had not heard complaints that there were no proper means [of taking people home that were hurt. The man died on the 23rd April. The de- fendant said there was a difficulty in knowing when, ac- cording to the Act, cases ought to be reported. The manager is called upon to report only serious cases, and the case of Hugh Edwards did not seem to be of that kind on the 13th. He had not reported the case to the Com- pany, and Mr. Percival, who knew of the accident, was from home at present.—The Clerk to the Magistrates ex- plained that all accidents resulting from explosions were to be reported, but only the serious cases resulting from other accidents. The penalty for not reporting such cases was £ 20.—Mr. Fanning Evans, acting on behalf of the Secretary of State, did not press for any heavy penalty, what he wanted to impress upon agents was that the pro- visions of the Act must be complied with.—Defendant was fined Is., and 22s. 6d. costs, the Bench intimating that they believed the offence was committed under a mis- apprehension of the Act.
PORTMADOC.
PORTMADOC. THE VOEL Y GEST SETT QUARRY'.—This quarry was but recently opened by a local company. It is situated at an elevation of about 250 yards on the northern side of Moel y Gest, and the setts are brought down to the side of the turnpike-road by a steep incline of about 340 yards long, and a short railway on the level ground below. From this point the distance to the Cambrian Railway is about 100 yards, and if that Company and the Sett Company could come to terms the latter would have brought the setts to the Cambrian Railway Station, but as it is the Sett Company cart the setts from their premises round through Portmadoc to the railway sta- tion, a distance of about a mile and a half. There is practicllly an unlimited supply of setts in this quarry, and it is considered one of the best in the kingdom. Its grain is rougher than the generality of setts, so that it does not become too smooth and slippery by wear, and therefore better adapted for streets along which there is much traffic. Standing on the extended gallery of this quarry, a splendid view presents itself before the spectator, extending some thirty miles on the right, in the direction of Merionethshire, and some twenty miles in the direction of the Rivals. The panorama includes the picturesque Vale of Tremadoc, extending towards Beddgelert, fringed by the ascending ground, culminating in the Moelwyn (2,529ft.), and Cnicht, Snowdon, and the range of which it forms a part, with the Tremadoc hills, the naked- ness of which is covered by copse, and heather of various hues. The vale itself is studded with wooded hills and mounds, which make the neighbourhood of Tremadoc look very pretty. In the distance to the right, the Merioneth- shire mountains raise their heads as if standing on tip toe to look at the beauty of the valley.of Tremadoc. Towards the north, we find the village of Dolbenmaen and Hendre- ddu quarry, and immediately below and opposite us, the villages of Penmorfa and Pwllgloewlas, and the town of Tremadoc. On Friday, the 27th July, a series of experi- ments were made to prove the explosive power of dyna- mite, manufactured by the Nobel's Explosives Company. The charges were, in most cases, exploded by means of an electric battery, brought over for the purpose by Mr. R. H. Parry, Well-street, Llanberis. The electric bat- tery firing was not altogether a success, owing probably to a defect in one of the conducting wires. The first attempt was to fire five charges by one discharge of electricity but only three went off, and two failed. Several attempts were afterwards made, with but partial success, and it was found that the charges connected with one of the wires always went off. If the electric battery firing was only a partial succes, ^the superiority of the dynamite as an explosive agent was satisfactorily proved. No attempt was made to explode a great mass of rock; but it was tried on a small scale, with from two to eight ounces of dynamite in the same charges, but even these small quantities did great execution. We understand that the explosive power of dynamite is ten times that of gunpowder. The Sett Company have as an agent in Mr. McClement a man that will exercise care. Firing the charges by electricity is safer than by fuse, but the time taken up in preparation for firing with the battery is so much that the workmen prefer the less safe method of firing by fuse.
PORTDINORWIC.
PORTDINORWIC. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Thursday, July 26, a fatal acci- dentjoccurred to a little boy in the Menai Straits. He was the eldest son of Mr. W. Edward, pilot, a very sharp and intelligent boy, eleven years of age. A little before twelve o'clock he was taking a boat out to fetch his father from a schooner in the straits; but before going one hundred yards from the shore he fell out of the boat into the water but as the boat was under sail, it was imme- diately out of his reach, and although he struggled in the water for some time, he sank before help could come up to him. He had a little brother five years old in the boat with him, and it was pitiful to see the little one stretching his little arms over the boat to try to save his brother. An inquest was held on the body on Saturday evening, July 28, before Mr. Thomas, deputy coroner, when a ver- dict of Accidentally drowned in the Menai Straits" was returned. The deceased was buried on Monday at Llan- fair-is-Gaer, when a large number of scholars of the Sun- day and the British schools walked in procession. A NARROW ESCAPE.-Last week, a little boy about two years old, the son of Mr. Griffith, druggist, walked quietly to his father's shop, caught hold of a bottle con- taining vitriol, and began to drink it. His father was with him at once, but not before the little sufferer poured some to his mouth. Dr. Jones was soon on the spot, and by his skilful and prompt attendance the little boy is on a fair way to recovery.
LLANIDLOES.
LLANIDLOES. ANNUAL MEETING.—On Saturday evening, July 28, and Sunday the Congregationalists of this town held their an- nual meeting, when two eminent ministers conducted the services, the Revs. H. Jones, Birkenhead, and Job Miles, Aberystwyth. BAPTISTSUNDAYSCHOOL.—OnWednesdaylast the child- ren and teachers of this school celebrated their anniversary by a tea meeting in the grounds adjoining Dulas Villa, the residence of Mr. John Smout. The children marched in procession from the chapel in Bethel-street, headed by the Llanidloes band, and carrying a number of flags. The tea meeting was not confined to the children, but was open to the public on payment of a small sum. Mrs. John Smout, Mrs. Daniel Jones, Mrs. Owen, and Mrs. Wil- liams gave trays, and tables and benches were kindly lent by a number of friends. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the ladies who had given trays, to Mrs. Smout, for kindly allowing the use of the grounds, to the ladies who had presided at the tables, and to others who had assisted. ODDFELLOWS' ANNIVERSARY'.—The eighteenth anniver- sary of the Plynlymon Lodge was celebrated on Thursday, July-26th, when the members marched in procession to Church, where the Rev. R. H. Jones preached a suitable sermon. There were about 150 present at the dinner sub- sequently held in the Town Hall, and for which Mr. Evan Williams, the Lion Hotel, was the caterer. Mr. J. H. Webb presided, and Mr. S. Ikin, North and South Wales Bank, was in the vice-chair. After full justice had been done to the,excellent dinner, the usual toasts were given. The Rector responded on behalf of the Bishop, Clergy, and Ministers of all Denominations, and Sergeant-Major Seven oaks for the Army, Navy and Reserve Forces. Mr. Lloyd Morgan proposed the Mayor and Corporation, and Dr. Davies responded. The Rector proposed the Man- chester Unity of Oddfellows. Mr. A. Ikin replied, and proposed prosperity to the Plynlymon Lodge, associating with that toast the name of Mr. Jones, watchmaker, who responded, and spoke of the flourishing condition of the Lodge. The healths of the officers and surgeon (Dr. Davies), and other toasts followed, and the proceedings were enlivened atintervals by songs from various members. COUNTY PETTY SESSIONS, THURSDAY, JULY 26.- Before Richard Woosnam. Esq., and Ihomas Foulkes Roberts, Esq. T Alleged Assault. — Margaret ^vans, Llangurig, was charged with assaulting her neighbour Jane Evans, on July 5. Evidence was called on either side, and the Bench dismissed the case. School Board Cases.—-Evan J^vans, labourer, Llangurig, was summoned by Mr. Wm. Jones, clerk to the Llan- gurig School Board, on the charge of neglecting to send his daughter, Mary Evans, to school. A medical certifi- cate that the child was in a weak state of health being put in, the Bench dismissed the case. — Mr. Jones made an application for an order under section 11 of the Education Act, 1876, to cause the attendance at school of the chil- dren of Jane Daniel, of Llangurig. Order made.—A similar application was made in the case of a boy named John Evans. Order made. SPECIAL BOROUGH PETTY SESSIONS, SATURDAY, JULY 28.-Before R. G. Greenhow, Esq., Mayor, and William Thomas, Esq., ex-Mayor. Drunkenness, &c. -P.C. Lewis v. William Simon,-Com- plainant examined: Last night, the 27th July, about eleven o'clock, I was culled by the landlord of the Red Lion Inn, in this borough, to witness the prisoner's conduct. I went and found prisoner opposite the Red Lion Inn creatingla very great disturbance, and causing a great crowd of people to gather there. I requested him to go to his lodgings, or I would have to lock him up. He then started off towards his lodging, and went out of my sight. Shortly afterwards he returned, cn- ducting himself in the same unruly manner,, and l locked h up on the charge of being drunk and disorderly.—Committed to the House of Correction at Montgomery for si* weeks with hard labour. w

A correspondent writes—My atten* tion has been repeatedly drawn to the furious driving OF the omnibuses plying between the town of Dolgelley AND the railway station, and unless some step& are immediately taken to put a stop to it I shall not be at all suprised tO, hear that somebody has met with an untimely death. I have on several occasions witnessed one of the omnibuses being driven at a full gallop through the streets and the Bridge, when perhaps 150 or 200 little children could be seen going to, or returning from, school, in addition to visitors and townspeople.

Asse.islitel,t.-The Itev. W. Hughes said it was desirable to hold special meetings of the Assessment Committee ON other days than at the meetings of the Board of Guar- dians. It was also desirable to name certain parishes, the valuation list of which would be taken into consideration at certain meetings, and then the overseers could give in-" formation. In that way the committee should revise all the lists, and endeavour to level the inequalities existing at the present time.—The Chairman thought the com- mittee should meet on Board days, after an adjournment for luncheon.—Mr. Griffith Williams, however, felt con- vinced that the work would not be done unless there were, special days named for the meetings.—Mr. Evan Jones thought that once a fortnight was quite enough, especially as the Guardians got nothing for their trouble,—The Rev. W. Hughes then proposed that special meetings should be held on Thursdays for the examination of the lists until those of the whole union were completed.—Mr. Davies- proposed and Mr. Scott seconded that, as it was the busi- ness of the Assessment Committee, they should decide upon their meetings.—In answer to Mr. Griffith Williams, the Clerk said that Mr. Gillart had completed the lists for one district since the 13th November and that the. old assessments were now the basis of the rates.—Mr. Griffith Williams observed that the lists had been waiting a long time for calculation.—The Rev. W. Hughes said it would not have been fair to put the new assessment in force in one district and the old in another.—Mr. Davies's motion was then agreed to.—Eventually, at the assess- ment meeting, it was agreed to hold a special meeting on Ihursday, and adjourn from time to time until the work is finished. The Charges Against the Master and Ofatroit.-In answer to the Chairman, the Clerk said he had received a letter from the Local Government Board respecting the charges against the Master and Matron of the Workhouse. Mr. Davies said before the Clerk read the letter lie should like to hear what communication had been sent to the Local Government Board.—The Clerk, having sent for his letter-book, read his communication, in which he stated the charge against the Master to be that he improperly discharged the woman, and that the Matron assaulted her. —The Central Board's reply was to the effect that they p had in accordance with their usual custom, forwarded a. copy of the Clerk's letter to the Master, and had asked him for explanation, on receipt of which they would again communicate with the Guardians. Llanymawddwy Parish.—Mr. Robert Evans asked what had been done respecting the matter referring to his parish. Two parties had refused to pay anything.—Mr. Richd. Jones remarked that it was the same in his parish. —The Rev. W. Hughes said he did not believe there was a bit of head or tail in it. He could not understand the- matter.—The Clerk said he had had a letter from the Central Board asking him if he did not mean by 1876 1877'! He had replied that he meant 18 RG, as he had written it. It was clear the Guardians had nothing to do with the matter. They had to make the call, and the overseers had to get the money in.—Mr. Richard Jones asked what the overseers were to do when they got no calls?—The Clerk replied that they were to get the money in when they didget the calls.—The Rev. VV. Hughes asked if there was nothing in the laws respecting the making of calls ?—The Clerk replied there was nothing as to time. The general orders said that an estimate of probable ex- penses should be made at least a month before the expira- tion of the half year. He, however, had been prevented in doing that as there was plenty of moaey in the bank at that time, and it was expected the new assessment would be in force for the new rate.—The Rev. W. Hughes asked if the calls were not made in proper time, did not that invali- date them ?—The Clerk replied that it certainly did not. The Guardians could make a call whenever they pleased. The mistake had been made in making the calls for the half- year instead of three or four months, or whatever it was. —Mr. Edward Griffith asked the clerk if lie were satis- fied the overseers could rake a retrospective rate?- The Clerk replied that he certainly was not satisfied. He had never said they could. There had been no fault on the part of the Board. Supposing an estimate was too small, the Guardians could make supplemental calls.- Mr. Edward Griffith said he thought by the Act of Parliament the Guardians must make calls four weeks be- fore the 25th March and 25th September.—The Clerk You must make estimates at that time, but calls whenever you please. After further conversation the Clerk read the following letter which lie had sent to the Local Government Board :—" By the general onler of the 26th February, 1866, it is provided that the Clerk shall four weeks at least before the 29th September and the 25th March respectively in each year, estimate the probable amount of the expenditure in the relief of the poor, and other expenses or charges by the Guardians on behalf of the union during the then next ensuing half-year. Cir- cumstances happened that the estimate was prepared and taken to the Board, but the consideration of the same was not entertained until the 6th May, 1876, when a new es- timate was prepared, and calls or order for constributions duly signed. First, whether it is lawful for the Guardians to enforce the overseers to levy a retrospective rate to de- fray the debt incurred by the Guardians from the 25th March until the order was made. Second, unless the Guardians can enforce the overseers to levy a retrospective rate from the end of the last half-year until the date of the order for the current half-year was made and signed, can the overseers proceed to enforce payment in accordance with any statute now in force, if not, who is to bear the consequence of this irregularity? "-It was then resolved to await the Central Board's reply. Llanaber in Arrear.—Mr. Griffith Williams called at- tention to the fact that Llanaber parish was in arrear with two calls. He understood that there was a resolu- tion on the books giving the clerk power to take proceed- ings against overseers who were in arrear fourteen days after the calls were due.—Mr. Robert Evans pointed out that the second call had been made five days after the first. Mr. Edward Griffith proposed that proceedings should be taken against the overseers of Llanaber.—The Rev. W. Hughes, referring to the resolution on the books, gave notice of motion to the effect that, on account of the ir- regularity that had occurred, theordershould be suspended until the 29th September, and that in future all calls should be made punctually, and the payments regularly enforced. Mr. David Jones thought the overseers should be given a month instead of a fortnight. Sanitary.—The Chairman read the following report presented by Mr. William Jones Gentlemen,-I beg to lay before you my books and papers for the quarter ended June 30th, 1877, and, as usual, to report to you as follows on the state of mortality, &c., within the Union. Deaths: The total number of deaths from all causes during the quarter was 92, being at the rate of 2571 pER 1,000 per annum, taking the last census for basis, an in- crease of 16 on the preceding quarter, and of 2 compared with the corresponding quarter of last year. Out of this number 21 were children under one year. and 28 old people above 60 years of age, thus reducing the number OF deaths to 43 of people between one yEAR ;UL(| GQ Whoot>- ing cough caused 4 deaths, diarrhoea 4) ACCI{]EN 3 T^Q died in the workhouse, and one M ,r.LO] Births • The number of births^UNNG the quarter was 143, an increase on the deaths of 51 in tne quarter, and of 34 as comnared with the corresponding qUARTER ()\ j DurhHhe q,,„ter proceed^ w„e uli a3ai„„t\he P to provide Dron1"1' FOR.FAILINS TO with FW THEIR houses. 1 hej appe:A A bet,3RE the Justices at Aberdovey on the 4th May, and ouiers were made to complete the necessarv conveniences within one month from that date, or to be fined £ 5 and costs each.
