THE ABERDOVEY SCHOOL. r SIB,—What appeared on this subject in your issue of the nth May has evidently ruffled the temper of the Vicar of Aberdovey, as shown by his letter in. your last number, which affords another proof, how little irritation assists one, in discussing what the writer admits to be a public question." Words ascribed to one of Shakespeare's char- acters may aptly be repeated by the rev. gentleman, I then ontof my grief and imPattence, Answered, negleotingly, I kftOW not What. 'How appropriate, therefore, is hisLatin quotation, "Monstrum horrondum, informe, ingehs, cUlj lumen ademptum." His letter is certainly such a monstrosity, but if without an eye itself it has signally failed to deprive otlers of their eyes, as the impression is still rampant in the place, that as regards the school, something very like an ecclesiastical spoliation has taken place. Assertions- tangible as the baseless fabric of a vision—do not pass current with those acquainted with the history of the school from its commencement. The Vicar-had doubtless quasi information supplied him by one or two hangers-on about the place, always ready to do or say "anything in the •JiVe.ice of aay L,d;ie.->s of their owjfc to attend to. Mr. UkuKirdoOu's liberality in the use of-. rancorous terms {thn.h it makes his letter more clerical perhaps) does not all add strength to hi-i assertions, he needs to be re- minded that a l-.wt -temper is always the concomitant of a weak case. The present school was started in this man- ner. The-place had been for some time without an insti- -.11 of fLY kind to impart instruction to the young, the leading Dissenters bestirred themselves ia>i<ieet what was a crying want. Why did not the Church juay ve-iil the matter'? Mr. Richardson's' Latin quotation will perhaps a-count•for it., The Church had "no eye" a school. The good of the Church bein- the highest good, education was of secondary importance; and if it were deemed as conducive" to the the Church, that the rising generation *h 0 ul i continue t obe mudlarks, and gutter children, let them do«o.

S-d. poor rates in a week.

Defendant was fined 5s., and costs.—P.S. Lyons charged John Jenkins, saddler, Lampeter, with having been drunk and riotous on May S. Defendant was also charged with having been drunk and disorderly on the 17th May. P.S. Lyons, P.S. Phillips, and Samuel Davies, carpenter, gave evidence to prove drunkenness. Defendant said that on the second occasion he was knocked down as dead as dead could be by a stone thrown at him by a man named John Dump.—Evan E vans, blacksmith, gave evidence on defendant's behalf.— The Bench inflicted a fine of 5s. in each case.—David Williams, stonemason, Tregaron, charged with having "been drunk and riotous on the 8th May, was fined 5s., and coats.—Defendant denied that he was drunk, and added that although he could take beer, he could always walk a straight line.—Dd.

Summons Against the County Roads Board.—Mr. F. R. Roberts, clerk to the County Roads Board, and Mr. John Vaughan, county surveyor, were charged by Mr. Rees, inspector of nuisances, with not having provided privy ac- commodation, and allowing the Peterwell Toll-house to be unfit for human habitation. The Inspector said there was, scarlet fever in the house about two months ago, and the inmates had to put a pan to catch the water which came in through the roof. Mr. Vaughan said be had spoken to Mr. Jenkins, the agent of the Falcondale Estate, respecting the acquiremant of land adjoining the toll house, but Mr. Jenkins had replied that the adjoining ground had been leased for building purposes. He now understood from Mr. David Lloyd that Mr. Jenkins referred to the wrong gatehouse. He (Mr. Vaughan) had visited the place that morning, and found that two slates were slightly out of place, and that the leakage could be soon remedied. He had erected privies for some of the houses, but found that they were used for coal sheds or some other purpose dif- ferent from that for which they had been built. More- over, Mr. Coddrington, the Local Government Board Inspector of Roads, had told him not to expend much money upon toll houses pending legislation on the subject of highways.—Mr. Vaughan having undertaken to have the house repaired, and a closet provided the Bench dis- missed the case on payment of costs. LOCAL BOARD, MONDAY, MAY 27.-Present: The Rev. Professor Edmondes, in the chair, Mr. Edward Evans, Mr. Jenkin W. Evans, Mr. Rees Davies, Mr. David Lloyd, clerk, and Mr. W. Rees, inspector. Time of Meeting.—In accordance with the resolution passed at the last meeting, the Board met on Monday at eleven instead of in the afternoon. I The Water Question.-In reply to a question, Mr. Rees Davies reported on behalf of the Committee that they had not gone 011 with the gauging of springs, &c., during the recent wet weather, as there had been abundance of water everywhere under such circumstances. The slaughter- house, Mr. Davies added, had been repaired. Public Lighting.—The Clerk handed in a letter from Mr. Prestman, offering to put up a lamp pillar, &c., near the refreshment rooms for JS2 15s., and a bracket in Bridge- stret-t for S2 odd. The Clerk said it had long been sug- gested that a lamp should be placed near the refreshment rooms. The gas mains were about to be extended to the station, and an arrangement had been made with Mr. Hamer, the Manchester and Mil ford Railway manager, by which the station would be lighted. He believed it was the intention to place a lamp near the station gates.—The Board agreed to the erection of the refreshment room lamp, but not to the proposal respecting Bridge-street.— The Clerk was requested to write to the proper authorities respecting a small tree in the front garden of the police station, which obscured the light of the lamp placed near that building. ilfacadLim.-The Board agreed to purchase the stones broken at the workhouse by vagrants. Inspector's Report.— Mr. W. Rees, the inspector, re- p follows:—"Since the last meeting I have had several buildings carried out in Lampeter. The cottages near the Station have had a large cesspool constructed, walled, and flagged, and gutters with sink traps have been rfflTde leadmg from each house. All has been done to my satisfaction. The row of the houses on the oommon, belong- ing to Mrs. Harford, has been provided with cesspools, Ffynol-las, a cottuge near Dolau, which was condemned, has been repaired. The work, however, is not quite com- plete. The towl. i; now free from diphtheria from which there has been one death. Four children have been attacked by the disease at Maespwll, but they have all frecovered. I summoned the road surveyor, Mr. John' Vaughan. and. he was ordered to put both toll houses in proper repair. I have been requested by the inhabitants of College-street to ask the Board to clear all the obstacles away."—Mr. Rees Davies presumed the Inspector meant she Duilding material deposited on the side of the road.— The Inspector having answered in the affirmative, the Chairman said the subject came on with the question of the footpath along College-street. It was high time that the paths were made, and the projecting railings taken down.—Mr E. Evans thought the path ought to be made. He believed some one had been lately run over in that street on a fair day.— Mr. Jenkin W. Evans said the builders had plenty of room, and there was no necessity for them to put the materials on the r'):1d.[r..Tenkins'sletter was then read respect- ing the measurement of the property attached to the houses in College-street; and Mr. Jenkin W. Evans and Mr. E. Evans, as well as other members of the Board, said the measurement could be ascertained by measuring the land, beginning from the back.—Mr. E. Evans said he remembered that there was about a yard between the old hedge ancTthe roil.-I he Inspector was directed to have the obstructions in College-street removed. Voting by Ballot.—The Chairman read a letter from the Maesteg Local Board, desiring the Lampeter Board to join in a petition to the Home Secretary for power to vote by ballot in Local Board of Health elections.—Mr. Jenkin W. Evans We never get elections here. At least we don't get a contest here. (Laughter.)—Mr. Edward Evans No, I don't think it is worth while.—The Chair- man If these elections were conducted bv ballot I do not think anyone would take the trouble.—Mr. Rees Davies If anyone 'wishes to come in I will resign for him. (Laughter.)—The Chairman If anyone wishes to see the ballot introduced I have no objection at all. The letter says, There is a great deal of tampering, &c., with the voting papers." I don't know whether that has yet reached Lampeter. (Laughter.)—The memorial was allowed to lie on the table. Plans.—Mr. Lewis Davies produced plans of proposed erection in Mount Walk and College-street. The Board approved the latter, but refused to sanction the former, because closet accommodation was not shown to be pro- vided for.—Mr. Jenkin W. Evans having elicited the fact that plans for houses in course of erection in College- 3tr £ eLliad not been submitted, the Clerk was directed to apply for them.
LLANBADARN.
LLANBADARN. PETTY SESSIONS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 29.—Before J. G. W. Bonsall, Esq J. T. Morgan, Esq., and T. W. Bonsall, Esq. SERIOUS CHARGE OF ASSAULT. Rees Jones, Maesnant, apprehended on a warrant, was charged by Morgan Jones, Nantyllyn, with maliciously and wilfully assaulting him at Maesnant on the 25th of May. The complainant's head was bound up in a white blood-stained cloth.—Complainant said that he lived at Nantyllyn. On Monday he was driving the sheep to the hill side when the accused met him, and charged him with killing a sheep on Sunday, and cutting turf on Satur- day. He denied the charges, and then accused put him down.on.the rock on his knees, and kept him there a long time. Accused afterwards put his feet on complainant's face, and said many times he would kill him. Accused afterwards released him, and took hold of a long stick and struck him a blow on his head as hard as he could strike. There was a good deal of blood. In consequence of the blow and the loss of blood, which flowed for three hours, he was very weak. He went at one o'clock in the afternoon, and afterwards saw Dr. Rowlands at Goginan, who dressed the wound, and had attended him three times since. The doctor said he would attend as soon as he could at the sessions. Mr. A. J. Hughes, who appeared for the defendant, cross-examined the complainant, who, in answer to ques- tions, said he did nothing to Rees Jones except when he was on the ground. Had no stick in his hand. Had two dogs near there. Did not set the dogs upon the accused. Complainant's dogs were not chasing accused's sheep. Accused did not say anything about dogs. Did not rush at accused's throat until he was on the ground under ac- cused. It was while on the ground that he got hold of accused. It was not by falling on the ground he hurt his head. He came on his pony to Aberystwyth. He was better then than now. Mr. Hughes, on behalf of the defendant, urged that the complainant had exaggerated the offence, and that any ttijuries he had suffered were the effect of his own act. 4-^ doctor was not present, it was decided to adjourn the case until the next meeting, and the accused was bound over m his own recognizances to appear at the next sessions. Keeping Dogs without Licences.—John Jones, Cefn Bangor, was charged with keeping a dog without a licence. The defendant, since he was discovered had taken out a licence. The Bench said that in consequence of the diffi- culty in discovering the offenders and the trouble they put the o'.riceis to, future offenders would be finell at least £ 2, and not a heretofore the lowest penalty or JS1 5s. The licences ought to be taken out not 1 later than the month of January in each .year. Of course the Bench did not bind themselves only to inflict a penalty of 22, but that in future would most likely be the minimum penalty. It would be well if the representatives of the Press would take a note of this decision in order that the public might be informed ot the desirability of taking out licences for dogs in January. A few high penalties might be the means of convincing those who keep dogs that they must take out licences in January, and not in the middle of the year, or after the revenue officers had visited the owners.—Thomas Hughes, Erwtorna, was fined 25s.—Thos. Richards, Llwynehedydd, thought his dog would die, but he was told that he must understand that invalided dogs were not exempt from the licence. Fined 25s.—James James, Weraddu, was fined 25s., and Thomas Hughes, Bryneitbin, was also fined 25s. -The defendants were told that if they came there again they would be fined in higher penalties. Neglecting to Maintain -Joseph Morgan, re- lieving officer, prosecuted James Davies, Eglwys Wrw, Pembrokeshire, for not maintaining his mother, charge- able to the Aberystwyth Union.—Evidence was given to the effect that defendant's goods had been sold by the bailiffs. -Cas, dismissed. Assault.—John Jones, Llidiartydwr, Cwmrheidol, was charged by Eliab Jones, Llettygleision, with assaulting and beating him fit Y stymtueu, on the 27th of April.— loan Jones gave evidence as to the assault, but could not definitely say whether the defendant actually struck the complainant. -Case adjourned. Assault. -Susan nah .T ones charged Margaret Morris with assaulting her on the 18th of May, by throwing a, bucket- ful of water upon her.—The defendant did not appear.— Case adjourned for a month. Trespassing in the day time in Search of Game.—Wm. Davies, Mill-street, and Richard Jones, Mill-street, were charged by John Jones, gamekeeper to Sir Pryse Pryse, with this offence. o The defendants did not appear.—The complainant said that on the 2nd of May he saw the two defendants on the road near Penrhyncoch about ten o'clock in the day. They had two dogs with them, one a lurcher, and the other a greyhound. They went to Peny- bank Farm, in the occupation of John Richards, where there was some gorse, and beat it. They then went to Penrhyncoch and Salem. On returning they went into a field and caught a rabbit on some land belonging to Lord Lisburne. Went up to them and asked them what they were doing, and they said they were getting umbrellas to mend. Took a rabbit out of William Davies's pocket.— Fined kl 12s. each, including costs.—Daniel Davies and John Davies, militia men from Lampeter, were charged by Roderick Richardes, Penglaise, with trespassing in search of game on lands belonging to his father, on Sunday, the 12th. The complainant said the men were "militia fellows" and they were setting snares on the land at Penglaise. They said they thought there was no harm in what they were doing.—Fined £ 1 12s. each, including costs.—David Davies, militiaman, was also charged by Roderick Richardes with this offence on Sunday, the 26th May.—Witness said he saw the defendant, who did^not appear, was near a door above the Workhouse. The rabbits were feeding. He said he would have some of them, and went for a small'terrier, and when he got it the dog killed a small rabbit. The dog also started a pheasant sitting on fifteen eggs. The nest was spoiled.—Fined £1 12s., including costs. Using Threatening Language.-John Richards, Bwa- drain, Cwmrheidol, was charged by John Morgan, of the same place with this offence on the 7th of May.—John Morgan, the complainant, said that the defendant was in the habit of sending his sheep upon complainant's sheep- walk. The defendant's sheep were increasing so that it was necessary to do something. Either defendant's sheep or complainant's sheep would have to go away. There was no room for complainant's own stock. Complainant came to the conclusion to send the defendant's stock home. Assisted others in sending the defendant's sheep home. On the evening of the same day defendant sent the sheep back again. Complainant stopped defendant from going through his land because he thought they had no right to go through that way. They then went along the parish road. Defendant had an iron bar in his hand. He was on horseback, and threatened to knock his brains out with the bar if he did not allow his sheep to stop on the land. On another occasion defendant fired guns.— Defendant was bound over in £ 20 to keep the peace for twelve months.—Defendant said there was a dispute about the right to the land.—The Clerk said there was a case respecting the right to the land to be moved from the county court to a superior court. Non-Payment of Rates.—James Jones, Pendre village, was ordered to pay Is. lOd. rate due from him on a rate made in December.
TREGARON.
TREGARON. PETTY SESSIONS, TUESDAY, MAY 23.—Before J. E. Rogers, Esq., and T. H. H. Hughes, Esq., Noyadd, Lampeter. Keeping a Dog without a Lj.'ceitce. John Hughes, excise officer, charged William Richards, farmer, Llwynbwch. with having kept a dog without a licence.—Mr. Pocock, supervisor, Aberystwyth, prosecuted.—Defendant was fined 25s., with a re- commendation to a reduction to 12s. (id. Alleged Wilful Dainage.Nitiry Pugh, single woman, Bryn- wch, lilaenpennal, was summoned by Mary Jones, widow, Blaenpennal Mill, for having wilfully damaged a tree value 20s. on the 29th April.—William Hughes asked the permission of the Bench to allow the case to be settled out of court, &-c.-Bench consented oil payment of costs. Cruelty to A nimals.-William Hughes, cattle dealer, Garth, Llangeitho, was charged by Inspector Robert Everitt with having ill-treatod a cow at the Trugaron Railway Station by beating it with a large stick whilst loading cattle trucks on the 2nd April.—Defendant admitted the charge.—The Inspector stated that defendant continued to ill-treat the cattle after h.\Villg reeeived a caution. He was also under the influence of ,li,ink.-The Inspector added that there were no pens at Tre- garon Railway Station, and that cattle were loaded from the platform. The consequence was that the animals would not go into the tracks without a certain amount of beating. In this instance, however, the pressure was excessive. He hoped the decision of the Bench would induce the Railway Company to provide proper accommodation. He did not press for a heavy penalty, as this was the first case in the district.—The Bench inflicted a penalty of 2s. 6d., and costs —William Williams, blacksmith, Tanygarreg, Blaenpennal, was charged with having kicked a sheep on the20h of April. The charge arose out of a case heard at the last court, and was brought on on the infor- mation of Richard Hughes, Tanyganeg. The evidence was the same in effect as that given by Hughes in the assault case heard at the last court.—The Bench; dismissed the case.—The Inspec- tor reminded tlieir Worships that witness's ev'dence had not been contradicted; but Mr. Rogers said it seemed tu him that it was improbable an old inazi lilco the defendant could catch a sheep by running after it.—The Inspector replied that the dog might have caught it. Disturbance at Pontrhydfendigaed. — Mr. Superintendent Lloyd charged Henry Jones, miner, and Thomas Williams, with !laving broken the peace by lighting, at Pontrhydfendigaed, Oil the 7ch April; Morgan Edwards, miner, Pontrhydfendigaed, and John Rogers, farmer's son, Llwyn, Gwyddil, with aiding and abetting the combatants, and Henry Jones and Thomas Williams, Pantgwyn, with having been drunk and riotous on the same date.—Mr. Lloyd said the cases had reference to a disgraceful disturbance which occurred in the absence of the policeman at Pontrhydfendigaed. Several persons were present who aided the defendants.—The Bench asked if it was a prize fight 9-31r. Lloyd said it was not quite that. but the men agreed to adjourn from a public-house to a field close by to fight. The two principal defendants were,absent with the militia at Aber- ystwyth, and he asked the Bench to adjourn ail the cases to the next sessions.—The cases were accordingly adjourned. Drunkenness.—On the information of P.C. Thomas, Alfred Evans, farm servant, Uefngogoyan, LlanddewiVefi, was fined lis. and costs, for having been drunk and riotous on the 2nd May, and Wm. Williams, Abercoed, Llandewibrefi, 5s. and costs, for a similar offence committed on the 21st May. Alleged Trespass. —Thomas Jones, farmer, Ochorgarth, and Marv Thomas, single woman, of the same place, were charged by Mr. D. P. Seller, Derry Ormond, with having trespassed in the day time, in search of game, on Ochorgarth, on the 27th of April.—Mr Thomas, solicitor, Lampeter, appeared for com- plainant, and asked for an adjournment, which was granted. Muster and Servant.-J ohn White, labourer, Tregarpn, claimed of Morgan and Wm. Jones, egg merchants, .t:3, being wages alleged to be due to complainant from 12. at 5s. per week.—An adjournment was asked for on behalf of Morgan and and Wm. Jones, and it was granted on condition that the costs of the day were paid by the applicants. Mr. Lloyd Edwards, solicitor, Lampeter, appeared for the claimant. The late Colonel, Powell.—Mr. Rogers, at the conclusion of the business, said—This being the first meeting after tho decease of the late Colonel Powell, I think we cannot do better than record how much this Bench regrets his loss. Colonel Powell, of Nanteos, was first and foremost in every good word aud action conducive to the good of the neighbourhood, and I am sure we shall greatly miss his absence.—Mr. T. H. R. Hughes fully en- dorsed what his brother magistrate had said, and the clerk was directed to send a copy of a resolution to that effect to Mr. George Powell.
MACHYNLLETH.
MACHYNLLETH. LORD CASTLEREAGH.-At a meetiug held at Machyn- lleth it has been decided to present an address to Viscount Castlereagh congratulating him upon his return for County Down, and the birth of a son and heir. ANNIVERSARY.—The Machynlleth Benefit Society cele- brated its anniversary on Wednesday by a dinner at the Blue Bell, Maengwyn-street. During the past year the funds of the Society have been severely taxed by the ill- ness of thirty-three members, involving a total payment of 277 9s. 6d., and the death of six members which cost g46 los. ¡The expenditure of £155 3s. 6d. had therefore ¡'o be balanced by a withdrawal of £40 from the National Provincial Bank, Machynlleth, added to the contributions, &c., of the members, and then there was a balance of 26 17s. 4d. due to the treasurer. The working expenses were put down at k31 4s. Notwithstanding the heavy expenditure, the actual decrease on the corresponding year is only B22 6s. 6d., the funds being at t-ie end of 1877 2469 7s. 8d. The total number of members on 29th May, 1877, was 157, which was one more than pn the same date of the current year. Mr. David Evans is the president of the Society, Mr. David Lewis, treasurer, Mr. Hugh Evans and Mr. John Owen, auditors, and Mr. D. Davies Williams, secretary. BOARD OF GUARDIANS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 29TH.— PresentMr. R. Gillart (Chairman), Mr. J. Hughes Jones, vice-chairman. The Marquess of Londonderry, ex-officio. Messrs. W. Pughe, J. J. Jones, Morgan Edwards, John Morgan, John Tudor, Andrew Roberts, Griffith Jones, Griffith Griffiths, David Jones. Mr. D. Evans, Clerk. Statistics. -Out-relief administered during the past fort- nightMachynlleth district, per Mr. Thomas Thomas, £ 34 4s., to 172 paupers. Pennal district, per lr. John Jones, £48 19s., to 234 paupers; and Darowen district, per Mr. D. Howell, 25199. 8d., to 259 paupers. Number m the House, 32-last year, 37. Vagrants relieved during the last fortnight, 81. The Master also reported that Mr. T. Lloyd Murray Browne, Local Government Board In- spector, had visited the workhouse, which appeared very clean and orderly." The Powyn Collector.-The Clerk reported that he had not received the monthly statement from the Towyn col- lector, but he had written a letter to say that he had sent it by train. The Clerk added that the collector had duly paid the call. A conversation en- sued in Welsh, (the majority of the members returned this year having, if any, an imperfect knowledge of English,) in the course of which, Mr. J. Hughes Jones said he did not see that anything would do except the carrying out of Mr. Thruston's suggestion, which was to dismiss the col- lector. The majority of the Guardians coincided, and the Clerk was directed to write to the collector, and to call his attention to the iTregulari ty of not sending in the state- ment, and stating that the Guardians could not allow of further neglect. A short time afterwards the Clerk re- ceived the statement which had been sent by train. It showed that £ 112 3s. ld. had been collected during the month of April, and had been duly deposited with the over- seers. The Guardians had considered the statement satisfactory, and cancelled their direction to the Clerk. Service of Summons by Affidavit.—-The Clerk read the following memorial which he had prepared for submission to the Local Government Board 1. That your memorial- ists respectfully beg to call the attention of the Board to the expense incurred in serving summonses to attend before justices when the defendants reside out of the division in which the summonses are issued. 2. That your memorialists are advised that under the present law it is necessary in such cases that persons should be sent often a great distance to serve the summonses aud that they should attend to prove the service at the hearing. 3. That your memorialists understand that summonses in proceedings in the county courts are served by the bailiff of the district court where the defendant resides, and that the bailiff's endorsement is made sufficient evidence of service. 4. That by a recent alteration made in the law as to the service of summonses in cases of bastardy when the defendant resides out of the Petty Sessional district the service may be proved by affidavit. 5. That if some such mode of service and proof thereof be authorized as regards services of summonses before justices in proceed- ings against relatives to contribute towards the support of persons chargeable to the union it would be a great saving of expense to the ratepayers. 6. Your memorial- ists therefore beg that the Board will take steps with a view to the insertion of a clause for this object in some Bill that may soon be brought before Parliament."—The .seal of the Board was affixed to the memorial, and also the signature of the chairman, and the Clerk was directed to forward it to the Central Board.
BARMOUTH.
BARMOUTH. TROUT FISHING.—Two remarkably fine baskets of trout were recently taken in a free stream near hers by Mr. Melnues, Liverpool, and Mr. Evans, Barmouth, consisting of IV, and 108 fish respectively. The fish, which were unusually large, and in excellent condition, were all caught with the fly. THE PROPOSED FOOT-BRIDGE.—A reply to the memorial lately forwarded to the directors of the Cambrian Rail- ways Company, asking for the erection of a foot-bridge across the line to the beach, has been received, and is to the effect that they regret that they cannot comply with the request. We hope no accident will happen at that dangerous crossing, or the directors will probably re- gret it. THE WATER SUPPLY.—Persons interested in the welfare of this rising town will be pleased to know that so far as concerns that essential to health and comfort, an efficient supply of pure water, it will compare very favourably with any other summer resort on the Welsh Coast. In an article in the Sanitary Record" by Mr. G. W. Wigner, F.C.S., "on the water supply of seaside water- ing-places," there is a summary of results obtained on the northern and Welsh Coast, in which the Barmeuth water comes second in a list of thirty-eight samples from twenty-nine towns. The only cause of objection is that the sample had a "slight yellow tint, due to the pre- sence of iron;" whilst the points in its favour are its freedom from organic traces, its extreme softness (being under two degrees of hardness), and the supply being constant. The albumenoid ammonia was found to be under .0050 grains, and the nitrogen as nitrates under '1000 grains per gallon. 0
CARNARVON.
CARNARVON. BOARD OF GUARDIANS.—At Saturday's fortnightly meeting there were present Mr. R. Jones (chairman), Captain R. Owen, Messrs. W. Jones. Clynnog, J, Griffith, J. Jones, Carnarvon, J. Fraser, E. H. Owen, J. Lloyd, Evan Griffith, R. Thomas, W. Owen, Llanfaglan, D. Thomas, J. Jones, Gaerwen, Robert Williams, Elias Williams, R. Owen, W. Owen, Llanfair, J. Thomas, Edward Williams, R. Thomas. H. Williams, R. Lewis, and G. R. Jones.—An application for an increase of salary was received from the master and matron, and, after some discussion, an increase of B10 was agreed to, a proposal by Captain Owen in favour of an increase of 1;20 being negatived by six votes to fifteen.—Edward Foulkes, an inmate of the Workhouse, was elected porter.—The Clerk (Mr. J. H. Thomas), reported that the out-relief during the fortnight amounted to zC322 0s. 2d.; that B34 15s. 4d. had been paid in respect of non-resident poor; and that there was a balance of £ 691 7s. 6d. SUDDEN DEATH.—On Monday night, May 27, Mr. J. H. Roberts, the district coroner for Carnarvonshire, held an inquest on the body of John Clarke, a man aged about forty years, and a native of Swansea. The deceased came to Carnarvon for the militia training, but bought himself off, and for the last fortnight had been constantly on the spree. About six o'clock on Sunday morning he was found dead, lying on the steps of a house in Well-street, occupied by Charlotte Lord. A verdict of Death from natural causes" was returned. INSPECTION OF THE CARNARVONSHIRE MILITIA--The Carnarvonshire militia were on Friday, May 24, in- spected at Carnarvon, Col. Cooper, C.B., in command of the Wrexham brigade depot, being the inspecting officer. The regiment paraded at ten o'clock, and, headed by the band, under the direction of Bandmaster Hindmarsh, marched to the inspection field, which was thronged by a great number of spectators. On the arrival of Col. Cooper, he was received with a general salute, and the re- giment was then put through a number of manoeuvres, which, it was understood, were executed to the satisfac- tion of the inspecting officer, who also expressed his ap- proval of the appearance and physique of the men. There were about 700 of all ranks on parade, and 190 reserves belonging to the regiment have been attached to the 23rd Royal Welsh Fusiliers at Enniskillen. The commissioned officers present at the inspection were-Col. Williams (in command) Majors Henry Platt, Wallace Cragg; Captains J. Wynn Griffith, Kinsey Heyward, C. Garden Duff, Gladstone, Benyon, Bradshaw, iNiorgan,Heriiiart, Wayne, Clayton (adjutant); Lieutenants Lovatt, Riddell, Turner. Sub-lieutenants, Roberts, Evans, Bevan, Ashurst; and Surgeon John Richards. The regiment completed its 28 days' training on Saturday, when the men, whose conduct has been very good, were paid off. The annual officers' in vitation ball was given at the Sportman Hotel, on Wed- nesday night, May 22, and there were a large number of acceptances.
D0LGELLEY. |
D0LGELLEY. A COL'r's ADVENTURE.—Our correspondent writes:- We had a very heavy rain on Thursday night, the 24th May. Consequently the river had risen unusually high. About seven o'clock on Friday morning when the flood was at its height, a colt belonging to Mr. Williams, Llwyn, was grazing in Caemarian (a field behind the Town Hall); the water having broken into this field, the young horse felt that his situation was not an enviable one, so he jumped into the river, intending to cross to the other side but when he got to the middle of it, he found out his mistake, but it was then too late, the current was too strong for him, and he was carried down the river at a great speed, past the station, and towards the bridge it wa3 an exciting moment, we expected to see the poor creature dashed against the bridge, but the animal with a great effort curved round in the nick of time, and got out of the current into shallow water. For the present he was safe, but it was impossible to render him any assistance. He became uneasy, for on one side was the rushing current, and on the other a wall, which he in vain tried to leap. He then tried three or four times to go up the stream, but was each time carried down again, and the last time his foot got entangled in a tree, he lost his equilibrium, and he was forced down under the bridge, and borne by the impetuous waters to the bottom of the Green. The 7.20 a.m. train was passing at the time. Fenn, the driver, blew a shrill whistle, which frightened the colt, and in all probability saved his life, for he swam towards the Green, and after leaping a low wall, touched on terra firma. He did not seem any the worse for his morning dip, and escaped uninjured, with the exception of a flesh wound on his chest.

At a meeting of ratepayers held last week at Llan- dudno on the subject of railway accommodation, it was pointed out that Rhyl possessed greater railway facilities, and that consequently in the competition between the two watering-places, Llandudno was placed at some disad- vantage The resolutions which were agreed to urged the followings points (1) the necessity of an improved week day service, (2) the advisability of running two trains one into and the other out of Llandudno on Sun- day, and (3) the need of a reduction in the tariff for goods sent from London. Upon the question of the Sunday trains a slight difference of opinion existed, and an amend- ment to the effect that the proposition concerning the Sunday trains should not be included in the petition to the Company was proposed, but it was lost, four voting for it, and eigteen for tho original motion,
