ABERAEHON THE LATE REV. ROBERT RUBEln"The news of the death of the Rev. Robert Roberts, Llangeitho, was received in this town with deep regret. No doubt many of his triends here will attend the funeral on Friday. EXAMINATIONS.—Among the candidates who distin- guished themselves at the recent examinations held at Stroud and Gloucester, we notice the name of Alicia Gratiana Griffiths, the eldest daughter of Mr. William Griffiths, chemist, of' this town, wno has succeeded in passing three different examinations. At the examination in connection with the Science and Art Department. South Kensington, held at Stroud, Ali.^ Q.rjtfit'hs passed 2nd class in geology. While in magnetism and electricity she was successful in passing lst_ class, and had also the honour of obtaining a Queen's prize. She had also passed the musical examination held at Gloucester in connection with Trinity College, Lond<i: To pass three such ex- aminations during the same .session is most creditable, and a proof of careful and assiduous training, and we have much pleasure in congratulating Miss Griffiths upon her success. She had received the certificate of the R.C.P. in the examination held in December last. -AIiss Griffiths was prepared fcr the various examinations by the Misses Kimmins, of Ebley Court, near Stroud. NARKOW ESCAPE FROM Drowning.—The captain of the smack Linnet (David Jones) barely escaped with his life on Saturday evening, July 13. As the ship left the har- bour during the afternoon tide, there was a strong swell running westerly without a breath of breeze to help the vessel to counteract its influence. As a natural conse- quence the ship drifted against the breakwater, which is a continuation of the western pier head. Captain David Jones got outside the rail, and endeavoured, by placing his feet on the breakwater and pushing against the hulk with all his might, to ward off the vessel. In his effort to do this, he slipped down to the water, and, failing to grasp a rope irom the ship or to hold to the poles of the breakwater, he struggled hard to buoy himself for ntarly a. quarter of all nour, when a boat from the harbour ar- rived on the spot and rescued him. Except being ex- he was not otherwise disabled, and left by the oame tide in command of the vessel. "XTry SESSIONS, Wednesday, JULY 17TH.—Before Capt. AlitlwyU (chairman), and £ jWard J.

ROWLANDS, Mr. Winwood's agent, read a few very good stanzas of his own composition, dedicated to Mr. and Mrs. Winwood, which terminated a' i-nost enjoyable meeting. The party afterwards took to their respective vehicles and drove out of town in procession in excellent style, in order to be in time to conclude the festivities of the day in a more unpretending manner. Materials for a huge bonfire had been prepared on Banc-yr-Kendre, by Mr. Jones, Penwern, and others, and and these were kept burning for the greater part of the nit:ht. On Pen Moelfre a larger one still was seen burning throughout the nicht. under the management of Mr. Evans. Tynant, and Mr. Lloyd, Foelalit. The contents of a cask of beer were given away at Caemadoc, on tiie previous evenimr. and two more Oil the night of the 11th, on Penrhosstr Banc. The houses of the Vicar, Messrs. D. Jones, Penwern, T. Evans, Tynant. T. Lloyd, Foelalit, D. Harries, fanycaer, and Mrs. Rees, Eioshelig, were brilliantly illuminated. I And as a lasting commemoration of the event, the tenants, by voluntary contributions, were enabled to present their worthy landlord with a very handsome clock, which had been duly forwaided to the bride's residence. Mr. Winwood, on his part, did not fail to recompense his devoted tenants with laudable generosity. Ei';ht Pounds worth of toys (G,) in number) been sent by hirt; to be distributed among the children. His mother (Mrs. Heniker) also had sent handsome presents to be giver, to the tenants, their wives, and children, com- uHcinff- t-1,H.tôn tq u{n.t-h.,)vPQ .-1r(-1"p hnnl- llin cushions, and numerous other articles. 1':1. day turned out to be too short tn complete the programme, and the tea arranged to be given -it the Board Schoolroom, to the children and all the inhabitants of the neighbourhood was postponed till the next day.

Tal: MARRIAGE OF CAPTAI GWYNNE, MONACHDY. This e vent, which 11:1,(1 been lookedf or ward to for a consider- able time. and in which the whole population of this town took the keenest interest, took place on Saturday morning July 13. at the Parish Church of Henbury, near Bristol, which church is situated close to Blaise Castle, one of the resi- dences of the bride, Miss Marv Edith Harford, who is a daughter of the late Mr. J. Battersby Harford, of Blaise Castle, and of Falcondale, near Lampeter. The bride, through her mother, is closely connected with the late Count Bunsen. for many years the distinguished ambassador of the German Court in London. She is not less iota) Ile as being the daughter of Mr. Harford, a gen- tleman whose loss is still deplored, and his memory lovingly cherished by the inhabitants of the town of Lam- peter, as their sDeeial friend and patron. The parish church was soon tilled with the friends of the bride. The bridal party proceeded to the church by the private road leading from the castle, through the conservatory and gardens, the paths being covered with scarlet cloth. The bride, who wore an elegant white silk dress, handsomely trimmed with Brussels lace, tulle veil, and real orange e blossoms, was given away by her brother, Mr. Harford. The Lresidesmaids were six in number, four sisters of the brid, and the two sisters of the bridegroom. They wore dressy of white striped grenadine, with vests of satin and Mechlin lace white chip hats, and plush roses. Mrs. Harford, mother of the bride, wore a rich black silk dress, trimmed with Brussels lace; black chip bonnet, trimmed with ivory satin, and lace to match. On entering the church. a wedding march was played on the organ, and the choir sang the well-kii(,%vn wedding hymn, The voice that breathed o'er Eden." Captain Tennant was best man. 1'he marriage rites were solemnized by the Rev. J. H. Way, Vicar of the parish, assisted by the Rev. Canon Battersby Harford, and the Rev. H. G. de Bunsen, Vicar of Wolverhampton, uncles of the bride. In the afternoon of the same day the married couple left for Dunster, Devonshire, amid the hearty good wishes of the villagers. Among the wedding presents were several pieces of plate, conspicuous amongst which was a very massive and handsome sterling silver tea-tray, engraved with exotic ferns and flowers, weighing 128 oz., !nPfllied by the well-known silversmiths, Mapin and NYt:bb, London and Sheffield. This handsome present was given by the townspeople of Aberaeron and the tenant- farmers of Capt. Gwvnne. It bore the simple inscription, Presented to A. Gwynne, Esq., by his tenants and Wends, on the occasion of his marriage, 13th July. 1878." On tlie breakfast-table also was the magnificent silver tea service, presented by the same tenantry on the occasion of his coming of age. The ladies' presents were also numer- ous and costly. The bride's presents were also numerous and costly. The rejoicings in celebration of the marriage were kept with great cordiality and enthusiasm in this town, ^-oe day was remarkably fine, with scarcely a cloud in the sky. Capt. Gwynne being the sole owner of the town and also of extensive property in the neighbourhood, it was resolved to make the event a gala day, in the accomplishment of which the inhabitants vied with each other, and acquitted themselves in a manner which would have done honour to larger places, where the rejoicings might have been carried out upon a more extensive scale, hut certainty not with more heartiness or good feeling towards the young landlord and his family. The engagement had been known for some time, so that a committee of arranagement had been timely formed, and there was consequently plenty of time for the friends and tenantry to show their goodwill; All places of business were closed at 12 noon. .Banners and flags were hung from the windows in all directions. The occasion gave advantage to curious per- sons to view the historical flags which were suspended out of Air. B. P. Jordan's, solicitor, windows, bearing the insignia "Dan nawdd Duw, and "Royal Cardiganshire Volunteers." They are notable as being those that led the Royal Cardiganshire Volunteers against the French who landed at Fishguard, under the command of Colonel Price, Mr. Jordan's grandfather. The Feathers Hotel was tastefully decorated. On the Portico, above the door, four pillars were erected, which were decoratedjwithfoliage and flowers; from each of these pillars to the other, strings of flowers were formed, from which were suspended Chinese lanterns of every shape, as was also from each side of the portico to both corners of the house. It seemed as if all the resources of every wardrobe and draver throughout the town had been exhausted. Table cloths, quilts, blankets, antimacassars, shawls, cloaks, and aprons were indiscriminately used to assist the con- siderable stock of bunting which can always be commanded in a seaport town, in forming strings of flying drapery across the streets. No less than fifty of these strings were to be seen throughout the town. Flags were also seen protruding through even chimney pots and garret sky- lights. The ships in the harbour wore their colours, and a grand flag erected on a very high pole placed on the "look out" was specially noticeable, waving listlessly on the idle breeze. Early in the evening it would seem as if the whole town had turned out in its holiday garment. Thejhum of men and women, the hilarious laughter of boys and girls filled the streets with joy and gladness. Not the least contribution to the merriment and enjoyment of the day were the efforts of the local amateur brass band, got up spontaneously by the leader, Mr. David Price, which greatly enlivened the proceedings by parading the town. After ten o'clock, the well-nigh general illumination of the town, which took place, was not so effective owin<r to a clear full moon. It appeared, in taking a stroll through the streets at tha.t hour, specially noticeable that the inventive genius of most families had been under special strain to discover some original and effective method of illuminating their windows, and although it must be admitted that all who attempted succeeded, more or less, it is generally agreed that the most original of all was the mode adopted by Mary Lewis, Hot and Cold Baths at the bottom of Tabernacle-street; for if strings of flags be becoming in the decoration of the town, why not apply the same principle to the illumination of the town. Not having the advantage of a house^opposite, a pole had to be substituted on the other side of the road; from the top of this pole to the loft window of her house a line was suspended, on which was hung a row of lanterns. Long after all the othfr lights had been put out the lights of these lanterns, shone brilliantly, having the appear- ance from the top of Market-street of the lights of several ships far out on the horizon. Several houses had their window panes covered over with coloured tissue paper, shedding a lustre of different hues, as were the houses of Mr. Jones, the present agent of the Monachdy Estate, Dr. Williams, Mr. John Hugh Jones, Mr. John Evans, watchmaker, Mr. Thomas Comj £ °n House Mrs. Pugh, North-road, and ar d others. There was also a neatly executed motto on the front of Mr Jones, the agent's house, which attracted special notice, Long-life and happiness to Mr. and Mir, Gwynne. Others had special stands made, decorated with evergreens and flowers, and having suitable pedestals to hold the candles. Such were the windows of Mr. J. P. Jones, Chemist, Dr. Davies, Mrs. Howell, 1\Irs. Jones, widow of the late agent. Mr. Daniel Jones, who hul also erected on the lawn in front of the house, the motto in gilt on crimson clotu. Long-life to the heir of Monachdy." Mr. Hughes National Provincial Bank, had lined the »on railing in f..ont Gf his house with lighted Chinese anterns which had a v-rv prett-v appearance. Mr. ^Si^'and^ MKr- Feathers Hotel, Mr. D. different ways. Mr" J N Fv° Utllifd 1;UltenlsTm Lewis, Albion House, Capt. Froem^Vr Peasant Mr. don House, Mr. Daniel Thomas.

Henry Morgan, Mr p^e' -l^t' Mrs. Fviuis, Munachty Arms, and Mr. Davies, Hope, had each bis particular device but the old and less elaborate scheme of a candle for each pane was the most popular, and from a distance was as imposing as any, especially in large houses, such as the houses of Mr. Griffiths, chemist, Miss Margaret Jones, Black Lion, Mrs. Evans, Lloyd Jack Arms, Mrs. Davies, Portland House. Mr. James, Angel Inn. From Market-street the houses of Capt. Evans and Mr. Pugh, solicitor, situated in Belle Vue Terrace, appeared to particular advantage. In short, there were but few windows in town that had not a light of some sort. About half-past ten a good display of fireworks t .ok place in Mr. David Jones's, Ciliau, field, under the direction of Dr. Williams, Mr. Rees, Feathers Hotel, Mr. J. Evans, watchmaker, and Mr. Williams, the Bank, finishing with the letting off, fy Mr. Griffiths, druggist, from the upper window of his house, of a magnificent torch of coloured fire, which was very imposing. Long before twelve at night the town had retired from the unusual bustle described to the appropriate quiet of Sunday morning. It also deserves to be mentioned that tea on an extensive scale had been provided at Capt. Gwynne's expense, with an open in-, itation to all, at the National and British Schoolroom, presided over at the first place by Mrs. Edwards, the Vicarage, and at the second place by Mrs. Jones, Monachdy ViJJa. All the workmen on the estate were also invited to partake of a splendid dinner, which had been prepared at Monachdy. Throughout all the proceedings, nothing lacked in the way of expression of good feeling and best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Gwynne, of Monachdy. It gives especial satis- faction to all to know that Capt. Gwynne shortly intends returning to take his permanent abodeat the mansion of his ancestors. Lampeter, on Saturday, was the scene of great re- joicings upon the occasion of the marriage. The bells of St. Peter's Church, St. David's College, and St. Peter's Schools were kept ringing throughout the morning. The town was decorated with a good display of bunting. In the afternoon athletic sports were held in the College cricket grounds. The following is the result of the various eveiits:- 100 Yards, for boys under 10--1st, David Williams, Pentre- Imler; 2, Evan Davies, College-street. Kight ran. I'll Vards, for boys under 10—1, J.

DOLYDDF.TVETT AVI) VT/muTTV -I L I IL THE quarries are all at a owing to the dryness of the weather. THE rr:: at Rhos Quarry, Capel Curig, have been on strike for some time. They had no real.grievance, as far as I can iind out. Some people strike, it seems to me, just for the sake of finding out what kind of thing it is. There are people, you know, who like the idea of being awful sick 'everyday. Tiiey don't want to lie weil. j. he minute they get rid of one fever, you will find them in another. They go from one fever to the other ali their lives. Some people, it seems to me, hate the idea of work- ing for good wages. They vv ant a strike and fuss. They want the world to know that they are in it. J(-NKS, Lrynterion, Dolyddelen, after :a long and painful ilmess, breatne.l his last about four o'clock this morning ( uly 17th.) His death, though looked to for some time as an event close at hand, cast a gloom all over this quarter where he was generally respected as an honest, faithful, and able medical man. Sorrow is in every bosom, and tears in every eye. He was a native of Tyddyn Jolyn ynv. Cynhaiarn, near l'ort- ma:.oc, and a brother of Mr. Robert Isaac Jones. He came to live in this village some thirty-four years ago, and soon after was advised to practice in the medical profession, a post which lie tilled to his last to the satisfaction of every one lie was cailed to atten;! to. As a medical man lie had been most successful ill cases of sickness, which others of the medical profession considered almost infallible, had failed to cure. Ho was not brought up to the profession, but made himself wliac he was by self culture. Some of the medical order were down on him on that account. Ever since he came to this quarter lie had been a staunch advocate of total abstinence. Against evil deeds and habits he worked hard through the whole course of his life, The funeral is to take pltce next Saturday, either at Dolyddelen or ynys Cynhaiarn, it is not decided" as yet which.—KLLIS O'N NANT.

This, after due consideration of the Board, being now felt to be impracticable, the Mayor was in- formed by the Chairman that the Board could not enter- tain the proposed deviation.

PORTMADOC. LLWYN-ONN GKA;;MAR SCHOOL.—This school was ex- amined in June by the Rev. H. Williams, M.A., and his very favourable report must be gratifying to the master and to the parents of the boys. Report.— Having examined the Llwyn-onn Grammar Sohool I have very great pleasure in bearing testimony to the verveffective teaching of Mr. Lewis. The higher classes t find excel in Latin and French, the lower in Mathematics some exceedingly good papers being given by the latter in Arithmetic and Algebra. Dictation, with » few exceptions, I find to be good in all the classe, HUGH WILLIAMS, M.A.

AN ABERYSTWYTH VESSEL.—The Caroline Spooner put in at Falmouth last Sunday to stop a leak found in the scurf of the stern, a few feet below the water line. She was placed on the mud, where the tide ebbed sufficiently to stop the leak. She proceeded on Wednesday on her voyage to Cape town. HIGHWAY BOARDS. --Ile et, of the Upper and Lower Geneu'r Glyn districts and Upper and Lower Ystwyth districts Highway Boards were held on Monday under the presidency of Mr. H. C. Fryer, Mr. Vaughan Davies, and Mr. J. J. Atwood. The quarterly accounts for the two former districts were passed, but those for the Ystwyth districts were deferred for a fortnight, some parishes-not having paid their contributions. WALKING MATCH.—On Tuesday evening John Jones, tailor, Penparkau, undertook to walk from Ponterwyd Turnpike-gate to the Aberystwyth North Turnpike-gate, a distance of about twelve miles, in two hours, for the small sum of 1:2. He started at seven o'clock, and walked very well, indeed; but after he passed Tynllidiart the heat and dust was oppressive and greatly against him. At Llaubadarn Fawr a large number of people assembled to see the finish, and this further hindred Mr. Jones, who eventually came in 6 min. 47 secs. behind time. He was not much the worse for his walk at the finish. Mr. Hughes accompanied the pedestrian on {horseback, and kept the time. FISHERY ENQUIRY.—The Mayor has received a letter to ask whether a fishery enquiry would be advisable at Aberystwyth as to the use of the beam trawl, the sieve net, and into the alleged destruction of the fry and spawn of sea fish by these and other modes of fishing. The letter was signed by Frank Buckland and S. Walpole. The Mayor will, we understand, send a reply favourable to all enquiry, which will be held probably on August 14th. I-, OLICE.-AT the Police Station, before John Rees, Esq., Richard Rees, boatman, was charged by Mr. Supt. Lloyd with being drunk and incapable in Terrace-road on Wednesday evening. Defendant said he had left the workhouse that day. He denied that he was drunk, but that something had come over him. The Bench dis- charged him, saving that if brought up again he would be sent to Carmarthen]. SALE OF PROPERTY.—On Wednesday,]July 17th, Mr. G. T. Smith, auctioneer and valuer, offered for sale at the Lion Hotel, Aberystwyth, two shops and the King's Head public house, North Parade, and a farm named Motdcerney, about four miles from Aberystwyth. There was a very large—in fact an unusually large attendance of the public. The fyrin was bid up to £ "-1,600, but as that was below the reserve the property was withdrawn. The rent is about tllG a year, and the question naturally arises whether the reserve was not a good deal higher than it ought to have been, unless people who have land to sell think purchaser can be found who will be satisfied with the honour of possessing land without such a vulgar thing as interest on money. The auctioneers, of course, did all that could be done, but there is a limit to what land will fetch. The King's Head at the Corporation of orb Parade and Baker-street, fetched j;510, and was purchased by Mr. Evan Morgan, draper. This and the other two shops are Corporation leasehold, forty-one years unexpired. No 55 was purehasec by the occupier, Mr. D. Jenkins, tailor, for £ 405, and 54 was purchased by the occupier, Mr J. E. Jones, shoemaker, lor 1;410. These prices were high and aliord another proof that property sails well in the town, and that there are people who bijliave strongly in its future. The bidding was brisk. SiGHT SCHOOL.—On Friday evening, July 12, a meeting was held at the Board Schools for the distribution ot priz.s and certificates to the successful candidates at the recent examination by H.M. Inspector. The Night School Committee had also secured the services of Mr. Van der Mees, who exhibited his dissolving views. The room was well-iilled by the scholars, and there were also present—Mr. aud Mrs. T. H. Jones, Professor Grimley, Messrs. Gibson, R. D. Roberts, W. Williams, solicitor, Morrell, J. Edwards, Bradbury, R. Morgan, and others. Mr. Roberts commenced the proceedings by reading out the list of those who had attended the requisite number of hours, had passed in one or more subjects, and were therefore entitled to a certificate. The total number who had passed was :n,.of which number 21 were successful in all three subjects—reading, wi-itin, and arithmetic—7 in two subjects, aud 3 in one subject. The Committee had decided that a prize should be given to each candidate who passed ,ia all three subjects, and also had attended ,the school more than seventy hours during the session. The following six were qualified and received prizes J. E. Morrell, 81 hours, Iieroert Moore* 78 hours, David Evans íü hours, David Jones (1), Evan Morgan, W. H. Rees 75 hours. After reading the list, Mr. Roberts said a few words of encouragement to the scholars, and urged them all to attend the school next winter. Mr. Gibson followed with a short speech to the same effect. The ex- hibition of dissolving views was then given by Mr. Van der Mecs. By means of the Treplexicon lanterns a very large and clear disc was thrown upon the screen. Some extremely beautiful photographic views of Niagara .were shown, which were hardly appreciated as much as they deserved to be. The comic views which followed, however, occasioned much laughter, and were loudly applauded. With the help of a microscopic adaptation to the lantern, Mr. AJees was able to throw upon his screen enlarged repre- sentations of small fish and water beetles, whose move- ments also exaggerated, were watched with curious iu- terest. During a short interval Mr. J. Edwards, Post- otfice, sang a song which was much applauded. This is not thetirst time that Mr. Edwards has shown his interest in the Night School, and his songs are highly appreciated. Mr. Edwards has always been ready to give any assistance in his power to the Night School. A wave of quietness was produced by the unexpected and pleasant performance of a large musical box, brought by the exhibitor. The cer- tificates were then given to the successful scholars by Mr. Roberts, and the prizes were handed by Mrs. Bradbury. The proceedings were brought to a close by a short address from Prof. Grimley. We may add that the Night School, althouglit under the School Board, is quite self-supporting. All the txpence of carrying it on is defrayed out of the iucome of the school, derived from school pence and the Government grant; not a penny out of the rates goes for its support. The prize fund was obtained entirely by private subscriptions from a few friends of the school. PETTY SESSIONS, WEDNESDAY, JULY 17T.H.-Before David Roberts, Esq., Mayor; Alderman Watkins. Esq., Ex-Mayor and J. W. Szlumper, Esq. Assault.—Elizabeth James, Trefechan, widow, charged Catherine Sims, Trefechan, marine-store dealer, with assaulting heron the 15th of July. The complainant said that on the day in question ,he went with a bucket of water, and saw her child and defendant's child together. Took her child from defendant's child. Afterwards de- fendant came out and got hold of her hair, and afterwards struck her in the eye.—Margaret Loughton said she was taking her husband's dinner, when she saw the defendant pull the complainant's hair and struck her in the eye.- Margaret Thomas gave evidence in favour of defendant, and said that comnplaiiiant swung the bucket with all her force and cut defendant's head.—Defendant said she was struck three or four times, and showed her arm and lip, which were injured.—Fined 10s. and the costs, to be bound over in 1:10 for six months. Assa:dt.-J ohn Jones, Windmill-court, Abervstwrth, boatman, was charged with assaulting and otherwise abusing a little boy named Jenkyu Jones Humphreys, at Aberystwyth, on the 15th July.-—Peter Jones, town- councillor, said that the little boy and others were pulling at a rope on the beach when the defendant ran up to the boy and struck him. He then took the boy by the legs and threw him into the sea. The blow was severe for the size of the boy. The waves of the sea, at least, came over a part of the boy's body.—Richard Morgan, on behalf of the defendant, said he was told by the defendant to goand tell the little fellow to go away. The boy would not go away, and the defendant went and struck the boy twice.— Mr. Ravenhill appeared for the defendant.-—Fined 20s. and costs. Application for a Protection Oi-der. -Nfr. J. G. Roberts, solicitor (Mr. Griffith Jones's office), applied for a pro- tection order on behalf of Mrs. Margaret Pierce, 5, Baker- street, against her husband, who is an able seaman, and his creditors.—Order granted. Drunkenness. .J oseph. Roberts, Hoylake, Cheshire, fisherman, aud Joseph Little, Hoylake, Cheshire, fisher- man, were charged with being drunk at the Welsh Harp on the 12th of July. Defendants did not appear. Sergt. Evans proved service of summons, and said the defend- ants were fishermen on one of the smacks which had gone away. He went into the Welsh Harp, and saw seven or eight fishermen there. The two defendants were there drunk. Advised Mrs. Culliford to get rid of the xien. In an hour afterwards went to the sea beach, and found the two defendants helplessly drunk lying in a boat.- Thomas Davies, who did not appear, was charged with being drunk on the same day in Terrace-road.—Joseph Roberts was fined 10s., and costs, and Little and Davies 2s. 6d. each, and costs.—The Bench said if those who supplied drink to drunken men were brought before the Bench and convicted, they would be very severely dealt with.

TOWN COUNCIL, TUESDAY, JULY IG.-Pre--ent: Mr. David Roberts, mayor, presiding, Aldermen Thomas Jones, John Watkins, and Philip Williams, Councillors John Jones, Bridge-end, Peter Jones, John Jenkins, Edward Humphreys, and Isaac Morgan Mr. W. H. Thomas, town clerk, Mr. David Lloyd, Mr. Rees Jones, town surveyor, Mr. David Jones, borough accountant, Mr. J. J. Atwood, solicitor, and. Mr. Morris Jones, medical officer. THE TOWN CLOCK. A conversation occurred respecting the expense of light- ing the town clock, Air. PETER JONES stating that it was one-eighth of the total expense of lighting the whole town. It was accordingly agreed, on the proposition of Mr. JOHN JONES, to refer the subject to the consideration of the Public Lights Committee. Mr. REES JONES, the surveyor, remarked that a certain person had volunteered to improve the illumination and lessen the expense for the sum of £ 6. THE LIGHTER. Mr. JOHN JONES, before the tenders were opened, said it had been ayreed to ask for tender", for a lighter, and the contractors to provide pia-os. The proposed contractors, however, were all sixes and sevens and several said that a lighter of 30 feet was too short for a craft of thirty tons' burden. They had suggested that the Committee should meet and agree upon a definite plan and specification, and ask the proposed contractors to send in tenders accord- ingly. He thought it would be advisable to empower the Harbour Committee to obtain agree upon plans and specification?, and to advertise for tenders for the next meeting. This was agreed, to on the proposition of Mr. PETER JONES, seconded by Mr. JOHN JONES. Alderman WATKINS suggested the purchase of two small ones instead of one large one. PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE REPORT. Air. JOHN JONES, on behalf of the Public Works Com- mittee, reported as follows A meeting of the Committee was held at the Surveyor's Office on July 9th; present, Messrs. D. Roberts (mayor), Thos. Jones, J. Jones, Bridge-end, J. Watkins, and Hees Jones (surveyor), An advertisement of the Nantwich Local Board, offering a fire engine for sale, sent by Mr. Lipshair, of Chester, was shnwn by the Surveyor. Me was ordered to make enquiries with a view to purchase, and to report to the Council. The SURVEYOR said he had heard nothing from the Nantwich Local Board further than that they had promised to send particulars, and that it was unsold. Mr. JOHN JONES read the advertisement, which offered the engine for £ 40, and stated that it had every requisite and was in good repair. The Nantwich Local Board wanted to sell it because they were about to get a larger one. The TOWN CLERK asked if the engine would answer the purpose at Aberystwyth, as it did not suit Nantwich? Mr. JOHN JONES replied that there were larger stores at Nantwich. He had seen Mr. Taylor who had very kindly promised, if the Council thought it desirable, to ask the Superintendent of the Chester fire brigade to run over to Nantwich and report upon the fire engine. He would do so on payment of actual expenses. Alderman JOXES said that Mr. Green attended the Public Works committee meeting after Mr. Jones had left, and he appeared to pooh pooh the matter. Mr. ISAAC MORGAN thought Aberystwyth had larger buildings than Nantwich had. Mr. JO/IN JONES replied that he was not advocating the purchase of the engine, but that the Council should make enquiries about it. The SURVEYOR said he had received a card saying that the engine was still unsold, and tha.t information would be forw arded. Alderman WATKINS thought the Council had betttr wait for a reply. Mr. ISAAC MORGAN said the town should have an effi- cient engine if they had one at all. The TowN CLERK said he considered a proper engine would be worth £ 200. Mr. ISAAC MOIWAN asked if the Fire Insurance Com- panies would not contribute ? The MAYOR replied that they would not; and that their argument was that they had discontinued giving con- tributions because the greater the number of engines the greater was the number of fires. (Laughter.) It was then agreed to wait for the information promised by the Nantwich Local Board. PUBLIC FOOTPATHS, Mr. JOHN JONES asked to be allowed to bring forward a subject, although it was rather an unusual course to take. At the last meeting a talk occurred respecting public footpaths. He had accordingly prepared a requi- sition to be signed by Councillors asking the Mayor to call a public meeting. He therefore hoped the Aldermen would head the list, and that other members of the Council would follow. Mr. ISAAC MORGAN asked what had been done respect- iag the order given by the Council concerning the harbour bridge ? Mr. JOHN JONES replied that Mr. Atwood, the Cor- poration solicitor, had said he would be present that morn- ing and report upon it. After another subject had been discussed for some time, The TOWN CLEHK produced the Public Health Act, and pointed out the powers conferred therein respectfng foot- paths. Alderman JONES thought the Council had better be quiet. Alderman WATKINS thought so, too. The more the landowners were meddled with, the more stiff they be- came. Alderman JUNEs-You will stroke their hair the wrong way. Mr. Jom. JONES—I think the other way about. Mr. ISAAC MORGAN—It is a strange thing to me respect- ing the gate at the harbour. Tlxe Council lias ordered pro- ceedings to be taken. 1 don't think there is any dispute auout tlie paths. Mr. JOHN JONES—Oh, yes, there is. Visitors have been turned back. Mr. ISAAC JolwAx-Tlwre is one thiiig which has been ordered to be done, and why has it not been done? Mr. PETER JONES—That is a different matter. This has reference to a public meeting. Mr. ISAAC MORGAN — Why don't the Council carry out. what they have coiyiiiiencect ? Any individuals as rate- payers may sign this requisition, it is my opinion that until we have settled this other matter it is better to leave this alone, although I quite agree that it is a proper tiling not to have the foutpatns closed up. The AIAYOR—No doubt if a deputation were to wait upon the landowners they would meet you very fairly. Mr. JOHN JONES—It must be borne in mind that this meeting is not intended to be hostile at all to the land- owners, but in order to see how the matter stands. Alderman \V LU.IAMS—Perhaps they will look upon it in a different- light. Mr. PETElt JUNES—This is a question as much for the ratepayers its the Council, and it we don't move in it the ratepayers will. The AIAYOR—We had better let it stand over. Mr. JOHN J ma:s-lt surely will not be allowed to stand over. You will get a requisition, and one numerously signed too. The MAYOR—Quite so. Air. ISAAC MORGAN—Better let it stand over I pro- pose that we proceed with the next subject. Air. JOHN JOEs-Bnt I have had the Mayor's per- mission to introduce the subject. Air. ISAAC AIORGAN—You may'appeal to the Council outside, but not in chamber. Mr. PETER JONES—And in chamber, too. MORE EXPENSE AT THE FLATS. The MAYOR said it had been decided to allow Siiiion's Well to remain as it was at present, and not to cut trenches, as it was desirable not to make the water muddy. The town was now well supplied with very good water. It had also been resolved to coat the boiler with oomposition, and to have india-rubber valves put in. Air. JOHN JONES said before the work was done he should like to know the cost. According to what Air. Green had said he (Mr. Jones) had understood that the cost of the composition, and the putting of it oil, would cost nearly halt the value of the boiler. Several members of the Board believed Mr. Green had been misunderstood, but ultimately it was agreed to obtain au estimate of the cost. ENCROACHMENT. The SURVEYOR was directed to communicate with the owner of the house in North Parade respecting the en- croachment upon the road, and to bring the subject for- ward at the next meeting. THE SEWER AT TREECHAN. Mr. ISAAC AIORGAN called attention to the great nuis- ances arising from the sewer at Trefechan, and said there were several valuable people living in the neighbourhood whose death would be a public loss. The AIAYOR replied that he supposed it would be covered in some time." NEW BUILDINGS. Plans of two new houses to be erected in Nag's Head Court were submitted to the Council and approved, as were also plans of houses in Chalybeate-terrace, which Mr. John Jones said had been seen and agreed to by the Surveyor. SEA-WEED. Alderman JONES having called attention to the nuisance arising from dry sea-weed oil the beach, below Mount Pleasant, the Surveyor was directed to have it removed if farmers and others failed to do so. Mr. JOHN JONES thought it was a waste of money to have the sea-weed removed. RENT CHARGE. Referring to the arrears of rent charge due by the Manchester and Alilford Railway Company to the Cor- poration, Mr. ATWOOD, the Corporation solicitor, said the Corporation was in an exactly similar position as Mr. Pugh, to whose solicitor the conduct of the suit had been transferred. That action, when it was decided, would settle that concerning the Corporation. He therefore advised the Council to wait for the result of Mr. Pugh's suit. Mr. JOHN JONES thought an application should be made to the Chief Clerk in Chancery to allow the Council to retain what they were paying the Railway Company periodically for carriage of stones, &c., and set it off against the arrears of rent charge. Mr. ATWOOD did not think the Chief Clerk would grant the application, but said no harm would be done in making it. The Council accordingly directed their solicitor to make enquiries into the subject. THE HARBOUR BRIDGE. Mr. JOHN JONES called the Council's attention to the fact that some time ago a chain had been placed across the harbour bridge, but that it had been twice broken down, it was thought by Mr. Vaughan Davies. He wanted to know what steps had been taken according to the order shortly afterwards given by the Council to their solicitor. Mr. ATWOOD said he should like to know whether it was intended to go on with the action or not. After a short conversation, it was resolved to refer the subject to the Habour Committee, who were to see what witnesses were to be had, and to appoint a certain day when they could meet Mr. Atwood at his office. MESSRS. ELLIS AND OWEN'S ACTION. Mr. ATWOOD said lie had received a letter from his agent in London, advising that shorthand writer's notes should be obtained of the forthcoming hearing of the case Ellis and Owen v. The Corporation. The TOWN CLERK thought the solicitor ought to have prevented the old judge from making such a ^fearful blunder in saying that the Corporation had taken Zophar Humphreys to Cardiff and had not afterwards had him examined.. Mr. ATWOOD said it was not his blunder. W hat would the Corporation have said if he had put them to £ 10 ex- pense in going up to London. The TOWN CLERK said it was clearly a mistake. The judge got into a mess, as he sometimes did, and blew up the Corporation for what the Corporation had no more to do with 1 than that reck (which could be seen through the window). Mr. ATWOOD denied that he had neglected to do his duty.. Alderman WiLLiAMS.asked if the Corporation intended to carry on the case? Mr. ATWOOD, in reply, thought there could be no doubt about it. iii» The Council agreed, and^ a cheque for £ 40 was signed to enable the Corporation Solicitor to proceed. 0 MISCELLANEOUS. In answer to Mr. Isaac Morgan, the CORPORATION SOLICITOR said the plaintiffs in the Quarry action had not filed affidavits. Mr. Roberts had asked for postponement, and as a matter of common courtesy between legal gentlemen he had granted it. The TOWN CLEJtK said nearly all the sums due for gratings had been paid. Alderman WATKINS said he should be inclined to move that unless the arrears were paid that all those who had paid for their gratings should have it returned. The BOROUGH ACCOUNTANT added that there were very few persons who had not paid. They were, moreover, persons l f means. Mr. ATWUOD said if they would not pay the Corpora- tion could take up the gratings which had been put down, and compel the owners of the houses to provide others of the same pattern. The TOWN CLF.RK said the agreements respecting the abandonment of land for the reservoir had been signed on both sides. 0 The MAYOlt said he was sinking for a further supply of water, and desired to have power to lay the pipes along the road from the source to the brewery. The application was granted, on the motion of Mr. JOHN JONES, seconded by Mr. ISAAC MORGAN. The Council then separated. COUNTY COURT, THURSDAY, JULY lIth.-Before Homersham Cox, Esq., judge. Interpleadsr Cas"This was a case in which Captain Watkins was claimant, Mr. John Ellis execution creditor, ] andMr. JohnEvans,Moor-street, Aberystwyth, defendant. —Mr. W. Williams appeared for the claimant, and Mr. Evan Evaus (Messrs. Roberts and Evans) for the executor creditor.—After some evidence, the case was adjourned. Claim jijf Bee,Ilessrs. Allsopp sued Sarah Ellis, Corporation-street, as executrix of her husband, for jE33 for beer.—Mr. Joseph Evans appeared for defendant— The defendant pleaded that she had disbursed all her hus- band's effects.—After some evidence had been taken the case was referred to the Registrar, Air, Jenkins. Claim for Clotlt(s.-G. Williams, Tre'rddol, sued James Pugh for 22 15s. 6d. for a suit of clothes supplied to him. —Mr. Hugh Hughes, junr., appeared for plaintiff.—Plain- tiff lived at A.berdovey, but supplied the articles when lie lived at Taliesin. The defendant was put in the box, and said he received a suit of clothes from plaintiff. -He never ordered them, but he wore them.—Ordered to pay 10s. a month. Injury to a Pig. -Williaiii Williams sued Thomas Evans for 1, for alleged damage done to a pig. Mr. Griffith .Tones for plaintiff, and Mr. A. J. Hughes for defendant. Plaintiff said, a pig which belonged to him, had been re- cently injured by defendant's dog. The dog broke twùuf the pig's legs, bit it about the head, and in other ways in- jured it, doing damage to the amount of the sum claimed. l'ile pig had to be killed in consequence of the injuries it received. In Cross-examination, plaintiff said as much of the pig was eaten as WOlf; good. The pig in question and another had trespassedjon defendant's land. Richard Jones, Penybont, was examined and very closely ques- tioned as to the facta of the case. Richard Morgan gave evidence as to the state of the pig after it was bitten by the dog. Evan Hughes, a boy in defendant's employ said he was sent to drive the pigs out of the field. At first he had no dog. He opened the gate and drove one pig out. The other ran back. The little dog then came up. The dog never bit the pig at all. He was sure of that. The pig turned round sharply and then fell down aud never got up again. John Evans was called and said the dog ran after the pig, which fell and never got up again.—His Honour gave judgment for plaintiff for 10s. and said, whatever school the boy Hughes had attended, he had not been taught to speak the truth. He had told a deliberate lie. All the evidence was clearly to the effect that the dog bit the pig, but the boy said- the dog never bit the at all. The loy had disgraced himself before all the people. £ rom. Pillar- tu tost.—W. Evans, an officer of the Court v. the Cambrian Railways Company.—Mr. J. J. Atwood, who appeared for the plaintiff, said this was a case which had been sent to the Lampeter Court, but. the Judge re- fused to hear the case, and asked whether anyone objected to the case being tried by the Judge at Aberystwyth. On being told that both parties were willing the J udge at Aberystwyth should try the case, and that it had beeu sent to the Lampeter Court because the plaintiff was an officer of the Court at Aberystwyth, the Lampeter Judge said if the case came before him regularly he would appoint a. day and hear it, but he was not going to do work sent to him irregularly. The solicitor for the Com- pany had expressed his willingness o have the case tried at iiong Kong, or anywhere else, and he (Mr. Atwood) was not pirticulai, where it was tried, but he thought it rather hard his client should be driven about from pillar to post in the way he was. The Judge informed Air. At- wood he could obtain a mandamus and compel the Judge- to hear the case. In his discretion he had altered tile venu, and it the case had not been regularly sent then let the necessary order be stamped as often as ever they liked, but he had done with the case and could not entertain any appUcaaou respecting it.—Air. Atwood said it was verv hard they should be sent from pillar to pOot in that way. There was no rest for the soles of their feet A GERAIAN BAND CASE. Jacob Alooie, a Bavarian, sued Mr. Tread well, Aber- llolwyn, near Aberystwyth, for 7 10" alleged to be due under an arrangement to play every night lor a week at the hall. Mr. Griffith Jones appeared for plaintiii, and Air. A. J. Hughes for defendant. Jacob Aioore, who spoke English cnly slowly, said he was asked to go to Aberllolwyn with las band" to pL v. Oil the loth of June he came into the district. Weut round the country with his band, and came to Aber- llolv/yn. Played two times, one a march, and the other a waltz. The head man Irom the house then came out and asked him if they would come again to-morrow He said they would. Went next day, and played irom twelve o'clock at noon till twelve at night. (Laughter.) The butler then came out, and asked him what they would play for all next week. He consulted with his men, and then said he would play every night next week for 30s. a night. For the first day he was paid 92. It was when lie was paid the k2 lie agreed to pray all the next week at 30s. a night. The next week he went to Aberllolwyu three nights and played. On the fourth night he went there and was tohl by the lady that they were not to play that night as Air. Treadwell had gone "to London. The lady told him his money was all right. One of his men could speak French, He went and told the lady they had been engaged for 30s. a night. He tuld the lady they could not play only in the back stieets of the town, as they were prohibited. The lady gave them 30s. to live on, and said they could have the other money when Air. Tread well came back.—[It was here explaiued "hat the lady referred to was not Airs. Treadwell. j—Next time lie went up to the house, right up to the back dour. lie asked if Mr. Cook was in. Waited an hour, and then saw Air. Cook, who denied tiie engagement was made for 30s. a night. He played two nights, and lost four days. Could not play in the town. Cross-examined—Played two nights and lost two nights more. hirst night after the engagement played seven hours. Played all sorts of dance music, ill the day played about the back streets of the town. Went away to Towyn on Friday. Alade 25s. "free" money there. Sometimes took 1:3 a day. (Laughter.) He agreed to take 30s. because the work was only in the evening, and they could play in the daytime, lie received 30s. from the lady, which sum he had given credit for. He gave two of his men 18s., two la-s., and two los. The lady was his wife. He paid his men when they returned home to Germany. They always went away in October. He did not refuse to take coppers. He \vould take any English money. Two members of the band corroborated witness's state- ment as to the engagement. His Honour elicited the facts from one witness by speaking French with him. Air. A. J. Hughes said the defendant did not care for the money, but was determined to show that he did not intend to be done. Alfred Cook, valet to Air. Treadwell, said he had come from London to defend the action. RemlUbereÙ seeing Jacob Moore. Gave him £ 2 for playing all day on the Saturday. Went out and asked plaintiff what the band wanted for playing all day, and he said 0s. all round. Air. Treadwell told him to go out and ask them what they would come and play an hour or two in the evening every day next week. The bandmaster said 30s. Went back to Mr. Treadwell, and he said, Very well, then engage them." The man said 30s., and there was nothing said about each night. On the Saturday they played from twelve at noon to twelve at night. Cross-examined—The band came on Alonday night and played from six at night till twelve. On Tuesday night they played from six to twelve. They had refreshments. His Honour said he had no doubt the bargain on one side was understood to be 30s. for the week, and on the other 30s. per night. Judgment would for £ 4, in addition to the tl los. paid into courts, and costs. A Claim for Hay.-The Rev. William Jones sued Andrew Williams for J614 alleged to be due for hay bought from plaintiff. Mr. G. Jones appeared for plaintiff, and Air. Ravenhill for defendant.—E. J. Morgan, auctioneer, said he was employed to sell some hay. The hay was not sold by auction, the defendant cr.me to him after the auction respecting the field of hay unsold, and bought it for £ 14. Knew Andrew Williams was the agent for the Ystumtuen mine. The field was divided in five lots. De- fendant said he was going to have one-fifth for himself, and the other was for the mine. Did not remember that he was told to call upon Air. Green, the manager, for payment.—David Jones said he was present when Air. Andrew Williams bought the hay. He bought the hay for 1:1,4. Defendant's name was put in the book. He said he would be responsible for the money, and that there was no occasion for them to look after it as he would pay.—John Morgan said that part of the hay went to Captain Andrews's, part to the mine, and some to Aber- ystwyth.—Defendant said he was acting as agent for the mine and told he plaintiff so. Told the auctioneer he was looking for some hay for the company, and as soon as the hay was bought it was the property of the company, which was then in a flourishing state and lmvking profit. Air. Green was manager of the mine. He left the mine on the 7th of August. Some of the hny was tiltH on the field and was taken by the company. There was i:3 due from him to the company.—A bill put in from which it appeared the defendant had debited himself with one. fifth ..f the hay, 4:2 16s. Air. Griffith Jones pointed out to his Honour that the mine had been credited with this £ 2 16s. after the bill had been made out. That the credit was an afterthought. Air. Ravenhill said he had done th_at'—George Green, manager and cashier of the mine, said the defendant was the resident agent, and would have power to buy whatever the mine required. Somebody had come to him for the money for the hay. Could not say who it was. Judgment for plaintiff for the amount claimed. BOARD OF GUARDIANS, MONDAY, TITLY, 15th.— Present: Mr. H. C. Fryer, chairman. Air. Alorris and Air. Abraham James, vice-chairmen, the T JJavies, Aiessrs. W. Jones, Edward Ramer, John Jenkins, Isaac Williams, John Paull, David Morgan^ Llanilar. Edward Lloyd, Hugh Hughes, clerk, ^)avid Jones, assistant-clerk, Alorris Jones and J. E. Hughes, medical officers. Statistics.—Out-relief administered during the past fortnight: Aberystwyth district, per Mr. T. G. Thomas, £ 46 13. to 200 paupers; Llanfihangel Geneu'rglyn district, per Air. John Jones, k64 10s. to 272 paupers; liar district, per Air. Joseph AIorgan, £ 52 17s. 9d. to 207 paupers. Number in the house, G2; last year, C9. Vag- rants relieved, 33; last year, 24. Balance in the bank, 232710s. its Chairman read a letter from Arrs. Lewis Pugh Pugh, inviting the workhouse children to spend a day at Abermaide, on Wednesday. The Board accepted the invitation, v.'ith thanks. lie Chairman said he had before him Air. Bircham's statement of pauperism for South Wales, and lie thought the members of the Board would be glad to hear that Aberystwyth stood first on the list, or rather it was bracketed first with Gower. For the half-year eiHed Lady-day, Aberystwyth and Gower showed 3 per cent. on the population of out-door paupers. For the same period of the previous year, Aber- vstwyth was fourth on the list, with a per centage of 3'2, so the union was now two-tenths of an out-door pauper better than last year. When, however, they took the actual pauperism on the 25th March, then it was found that Aberystwyth lost its place. He did not quite understand how Mr. Bircham got at those figures. All the thirty-one unions, when taken together, and the average for the half-year shown, gave a higher percentage than when taken, on a particular day. In that respect both Alerthyr-Tydvil and Gower came before Aberystwyth, For the average of the half-year, Aberystwyth showed 3 per cent. but taken on a particular day, 2'8, Alevthyr- Tydvil and Gower, 2'7. If they compared Aberystwyth Union with Gower only, it wa.s pretty creditable, because it had a smaller population, and was altogether an ex- ceptional union. Alerthyr-Tydvil, however, with a popu- lationofl04,110, and the depression of trade, seemed to be a better managed union than Aberystwyth.—Air. Abraham James thought the rate of pauperism in the Aberystwyth Union was increased in consequence of husbands belong- ing to the Union being killed in South Wales.—The Chair- man said he believed that there were a great many paupers on the books, -who ought never to have been there, but there was a difficulty in getting them off again. No doubt, after a lapse of time, and with care and attention, the Board would be able to get the pauperism down to 2 per cent. He might add that 2\1r. Bircham's district was not in so good a position as formerly. Last year the average for the district was 4"1; this year 4'4. No doubt the depression in trade had caused the increase. The best union on the list was (rower, which had the same per centage of pauyerism as last year. Aberystwyth had this year taken Merthyr-Tydvil's place, and was bracketed with Gower. With th" assistance of the relieving-ofncers he honed the Board would be able to reduce the pauperism to 2 per cent. A 'I CHOOL BOARD, FRIDAY, JULY ltrli.-Present: Air. r.r r)byrts the (:hah'). Mr. T. Griffiths, and Air. I. H. Jones. Mr. Williams, clerk. Incoirujible Boys. A large number of women attended before the Board in response to notices sent out owin<' to the irregular attendance of their children. In nearly all the cases it was pleaded by the parents and admitted by the Board, that the boys were the masters. When brought by main force to school they could not be kept there. They took out windows and escaned, so that there was no chance of keeping them without the means of locking them up, as one poor woman said, in a sort of prison, ihe mothers of these lads said they were willing to do anything the Board could suggest either to let them go to sea or to Industrial schools, or anywhere. A Airs. Richards, Queen-street, who was summoned more than a year ago, and let off by the Bench because her boy was over thirteen years of age, came before the" Board on r riday and said her lad was not thirteen She admitted having said he was more than thirteen to the magistrates, in nearly every case the parents were ordered to see that the children attended school. One woman said her boy slept out at nights. Another said her boy dis- appeared first thing in the morning, and she could not find him again all day. A man said he had his son a prisoner at home, and was making him do lessons at home. He asked to be allowed to keep him there, and the Board consented. One boy took to the river when be was followed. The experiences of the attendance officer, school teachers and parents revealed an undesir- able state of things, but some of the facts elicited were very comic. the Late Clerk s Accounts.—The Clerk said he had not been able to obtain the accounts of the Board from Air. Thomas, the late clerk. Air. Thomas had not completed the petty cash account. He (the Clerk) had spoken to Mr Thomas repeatedly, and had written to Air. X nomas in order that lie might not have occasion to briiur the matter before the Board. He had written one letter on ths 9th of the month, which had not been answered until then, the 12th. The sum of £ 10 12s. was to be accounted for, but there was something due in salary to Mr. Thomas, and he might have vouchers for more Aan the money. The point was that he (the Claris "At prepare his accounts without those vouchers were obtained. Mr. Thomas might have some difficulty in finding the papers, as he had recently removed from the office he occupied, and his papers might not be easily got at, but still something ought to be done, as he (the Clerk) would not be able to meet the auditor without these vouchers, and it would be very difficult to get fresh ones.—The Clerk was ordered to take any steps he thought necessary to obtain the vouchers, and if he could not obtain them to debit the late Clerk with the sum unaccounted for. lu'xt(f/t<{{was. rhe Board had next to consider a batch 0 resignations :rMr«. Bradbury, mistress of the infant school Miss Marks, assistant mistress Mr. Morgan assistant master; and Mr. Perry, the attendance officer! resigned. Mrs. Bradbury retires owing to ill liealtli no reason was given for Miss Marks's "retirement; Air. Morgan, it was stated, is about to enter the College s a student; and Mr. Perry has accepted a situation with a tradesman. The Clerk was instructed to issue the neces- sary ad vcrtisements. "c.

AX FOR SCHOOL TREAT.—On' Wednesday, July 10, the children attending ths lanfor School, which is sup- ported by Mrs. Price, of Rhiwlas, and was opened in August, 1877, had an excellent treat. The boys and girls numbering 45, at the termination of the half-year's schooling, were invited to Rhiwlas. They assembled at the school at two o elock in the afternoon, and being formed into a procession with Air. Hughes, the teacher, visited Rniwlas, and having partaken of refreshments enjoyed themselves with various games and exercises in the front of the mansion. They received gifts in money from Mr. and Mrs. R. J. LI. Price and Lord Westbury, after which they were called in to the strawberry party, which was a decided treat. The children then sang their juvenile tunes, and each child was presented with a book-the first in each class obtaining an extra prize. Mr. and irs. Price expressed themselves much pleased with the manner in which the children performed their part and conducted themselves on the occabiOD.
