The u;?mber* of the School Board who f;ve cl«»;roiis es of the school master- are probably perfectly unaware that their actio:; in this t •matter i* not wortr.y or the highest cor:, mediation. j The schoolmasters are in receipt of salaries of about j a yt .u\ and .->0members ot the Board look upon this S\1L as unnecessarily high. Some sort of masters could Š j' for £GO or £ 70, and why, they ask. give 0. They do not recognize any difference I)et%c-en elficient allli im ttie-ient masters, and think the difference betweeu thirty per cent. of passes and niiietv-iiin*> rer cent. not of much account. There are members on the Board who I ought to apologise to them for what appeared in this column t 9 I am always willing to acknow- ledge my errors, and I no\ apologise to the m'mbers if T imputed Idair.e to them. They are not to buuue. tor tliey know not what they do. The go -AN- to places where £ 00 a year nut be considered an extravagant salary for school t r who know their work and who do it without grudge or stint. This dispute between the masters and the boaru .s for liilti,, sutn of E. or EIO a.yeir. The importance of the case cannot, however, be measured by the amount of inone) at stake. "No money is lost in the greatest of catastropiiies. but there are other things of greater value than money. The schoolmasters of Lledrod district have the oppor- tunity of fighting for a principle. They may have to leave tiidr schools, and to begin life again. and aU this may be painful and hard to bear, but humau life worthy "j of the name is often hard to bear. The way to that I which is best is dark and hard to travel, as old John lullral1 knew, to his cost morning being; come, lie looked back, not out of desire to return, but to see, by the light of the day. what hazards he Ilatl gone through in the dark. So lie saw more perfectly the ditch that wa3 on the one hand, and the ouag that was on the other also how narrow the way was which led betwixt them both. Also now lie saw the hobgoblins. aud satyrs, and dragons of the pit From the place where he now stood, even to the end of the valley, the way was all along set so full of snares, traps, gins, and nets here. and so full of pits, pitfalls, deep i iioles, and shelvings-dcwn there, that had it now been .I:nk, as it was when he came the lirst pact of the way, Ac." It is the first part of the way that is dark, and it is in the dark that the lions of temptation, and lust, i and greed. and envy, and fear, and hate, roar their' loudest. There is an easy way of walking through life, but it is a downward way that leads to nothingness. Almost at the bottom of this path there is a lurid light that shows each listless passenger the life that might have heeu. From that spot onward there is no listiessness. but vain regrets, and tearings of the iiaii, and dragging? downward, and horrible cries. And then a silence that is unbroken; and a blotting out of all remembrance that is eternal. The members of the Lledrod District School Board do what they think is best. This is the element that nKik.es every struggle so full of pathos. Then there are the vulgar common place details which cannot possibly be made to look heroic. The greatest martyr that ever died at the stake was probably painfully conscious of surroundings which were mean and apparently! incongruous. The faggot-cutter might only see that' martyrs increased the demand for faggots. The under- taker sees in bereavement a job, and there are details and arrangements which even in crises must he attended to. f re events and great men may be so overshadowed for a time by vulgar surroundings as to be scarely diieernable from them. Little by little, however, tiie menial office is forgotten, the trappings of mourning ate laid aside, the smoking, drinking bellringers depart, the ashe3 of the martyr's lire are scattered, the cries and discords die away, and the Act. the Life, the Sacrifice, the Purpose assumes it3 due proportion, and takes its own place. Time destroys all that is destructible, and leaves only the pure gold of great1 emprise. And what has all this to do with the dispute between th"? schoolmasters and the Lledrod district School Board, Just as much as you can see in it. '"Wisdom and goodness to the vile seem vile,' and ''itorir'n' is anything to whom everything is nought." :0 LARUE RA TEPA YERS. A good deal has been said from time to tilJ1 in the district about "heavy rates," snd "pobscssing an interest in the country." In one neighbourhood, at j least, the inhabitants have bestirred themselves, and: are determined to secure an arrangement that will result in the rates resting equally on all. At present the poor pay heavy rates, and the rich talk about them, j ,tic Assessment Committees of several unions have! Iivel\ times in store. The great thing is to go the ri^ht way to work, and not to flog the wrong horse. The prospect of increased public interest in local expenditure is very interesting to me. Itt twyth, in Festiniog, and in other places, the subject is being discussed, and sooner or later something will be done. WHO IS TO BLAME.' The inhabitants of Aberystwyth ought to know who is to blame for the unnecessary disgrace which was brought upon the town last week. An execution was levied on the public property, not because the tOWll is poor, or unwilling to meet its liabilities, but because somebody has blundered, and blundered in a most in- •v.cusable way. This piece of business must be brought home, not passionately or vindictively, but deliberately telv and on public grounds. There is not a poor person any- where who does not understand the disgrace that is incurred by "having the bailiffs in," and whoever is, responsible for making this piece of discreditable history should not be lightly let off. XEAREIi HOME. The landed gentry and others who have money to E I)a re in the large district all up and down the coast need not look far from their doorsteps for worthy objects, The poor live in wretched hovels. Bniltf them (lecent cottages. In rural districts and in town's there is need of better cottages for working people. Social life. morals, and religion depend in no slignt degree on the homes of the people. Sir Pryse Pryse. Bart., has been the means of doing permanent good at How Street, near Aberystwyth, by granting favourable terms for the ejection of cottages. The village of Bow Street is a monument of which any man may be proud. ill no other great landowners move, even if the Prince of j Wales does not take the initiative. The faces of the j poor tell their own sorrowfnl tale of miserable life. Hav? pity upon them, and help them to cleaner life. DOLGEL LET OREES. The town of Dolgelley is lucky in posseising a pro- perty which brings in a good round sum which is aiiuually spent in relieving the poor rates. This is very loittmate for the Dolgelley ratepayers, as the town is rather rich in paupers. The rent of the Green comes to £7J or £ 80 a year, and every year the surplus, of rents after providing for embankments, improvementa, &c., goes to reduce the poor rates. Is this item shown in the l,niou accounts, and, if so, under what heading ? There will be no difficulty in getting to know how much money has been handed over during the past ten ye.trst in aid of the poor rates. I have seen a few of the Dolgelley Union accounts, aud do not remember seeing anything about "rents from the Green." Still tliey might be there. Now, gentlemen, what about this balance-sheet. Am I to have it or not Sometimes I am accused of being in a-liurrv ia matters of this kind, and I think hurry is a sign of weakness. Has anything ever been handed over in aid of the poor rates? "e shall see what we shall see. Perhaps the Dolgelley guardians will intro- duce this subject at the next board meeting. They arc the representatives of the ratepayers, and this is their duty, but they are not foroed to do it. Still they ought to hav o the chance. A letter to the Charity Commis- sioner's. you know, will bring down the whole thing, but that is not a good way to start. c' The Coast. P. W.

RKVAIXATION.—An adjourned vestry meeting of the township of aynor-issa was to have been held at the Aberystwyth workhouse last Friday evening to receive ¡and consider Mr Baker's report on the valuation of the property in the township, but when several ratepayers cut to the place of meeting they were told that it had been removed to Ffynouddu, in the valley of the Clarach. 1 In going to Ffynouddu there were found present Mr Isaac Morgan, Brynvmor: Mr James Williams and Mr Oliver, overseers, and one or two others. Mr Isaac Morgan contended that the previous vestry had not been legally convened, as notices had not been placed on the church doors. He also thought that if a valuation were wanted, notices should he given to all ratepayers in the township. After eonsider- able irrelevant discussion, and its appearing that Mr Baker had not sent in his report, Mr Lewis, reporter, Pengla;se-road, was voted to the chair, and the meet- ing was adjourned to the workhouse for this (Friday) evening, notice of which meeting has been legally ífl\.pn iMi'Kf- EMKNT Son bvrv.—During the present week, when the Oddfellows' Annual Moveable Committee, and the Bath and West of England Agricultural Show is being held at Cardiff, a lengthy advertisement is daily appearing in one of the papers, setting forth the advantage of Aberystwyth as a summer and winter resilience. The )\<*fcrn Mnii, referring to the nomina- tion of Aberystwyth for next year's A.M.C., says :— We publish in another column a memorial from a number of Oddfellows, at the head of whom is a Grand Master of the Order, in favour of the hold- ing of the next A.M.C. at Aberystwyth. The place has. without doubt, many very strong claims to the honour which is now being sought. It is first on the list of towns nominated this year, and is situate within as easy a distance as Cardiff from Manchester, which is the head-quarters of the Order. It is, moreover, as healthy and as convenient a spot as could be selected, possessing, as it does, the advantages of a well-kept town, combined with those of an excdlent watl.ring place, whilst its surroundings are among the most picturesque and delightful of any in the Principality, an important consideration for visitors, who, although primarily bent on business, have also some time on their hands which they would like to devote to sight-seeing. We heartily trust that the request of the memorialists will be granted."

Morgan, Esq. .Drunkenness.- -Davitl Evans, miner, Cwmerfin, and David Williams, miner. Penybontrhydybeddau, were charged with having been drunk and disorderly at Penyhontrhydybeddau on the 20th 1ay.P.C. W. Joseph proved the case, saying that defendants were not very drunk, but that they were fighting with each other. Defendants were each fined ."is. and ordered to pay costs.—David Evans, blacksmith's striker, Peny- A,as summoned for having been drunk on the same day as in the former case, May -20tli. Fined ",s. and ordered to pay costs. Xuiwnct'.— David P. Jones, inspector of nuisances, summoned It. E. Williams, draper, Terrace-road. Aber- ystwyth. for allowing a cesspit that received the drain- age of Brynteg House to cause au abominable stench and nuisance.—The Bench made an order for the immediate remedy of the complaint, and adjourned the case for a month. Military.—David J ones, engine fitter, Mary-street, Aberystwyth. summoned by Sergeant Major Holmes for having absented himself from the training of the Royal Cardigan Artillery Militia. Defendant said he could not find work, so he went on a voyage to the East Indies. There had been a break down which delayed his return, but as soon as lie arrived at Cardiff, i he hastened home and reported himself at the barracks, --The bench said the lowest penalty they could inflict by law was 40s., and that was the amount defendant i would have to pay. No costs would, however, be ed. Jenkins, painter, Pound- place, Aberystwyth, was charged by Henry Wright, Skinner-street, labourer, witii at. tltlnatmal offence on the :.I-ttli May. Mr J. C. W. Bonsall, the chairman, before the case was gone into, said that as it was an indictable offence the bench had the power to hear it with closed doors. Tic bench would exercise that pow er and therefore ordered all persons except those interested and officials to leave the court. With regard to the press, the Bench was always glad to sec the representatives of the press present, and made no order as to them. Mr Evan Evans, solicitor, Aber- ystwyth, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr J. T. tietikIiis for the defence. The alleged offence occurred in one of the oiuirries on the Brvnvmor road earlv in the morning of the -4th May. and was seen by Harry Wright. He afterwards told several persons what he had seen. About midday, the accused gave him a shilling, and promised liini five more to say nothing about the matter. In the evening, the police com- municated with Wright, and took him to a magistrate, The case was gone into at great length, and occupied several hours. The evidence of Wright appeared to be strong, but it was shown that he had given to different people different versions of the story, and witnesses subsequently called gave evidence which contradicted his testimony in important particulars, and considerable doubt was thrown upon his credibility. At the conclusion of the evidence, Mr Bonsall, as chairman, addressed the accused saying that he had been charged with committing a most serious offence. In all his (the chairman's) experience, one equally serious had never come before him. He now informed the accused that the Bench unanimously were of opinion that there was no foundation for the charge. He then told the accused that he left the Court without the slightest stain on his character.—Mr Jenkins intimated that he wi>s about proceeding against the w itness, Harry Wright, for perjury.—The decision was received with marks of approval by the public outside the Court, The ease excited much interest at Aberystwyth. j

BALA. niXE Rinr.I->. AI:M V. — On Thursday, May meetings in connection with this movement were held in this town. At two o'clock p.m. a special meeting was held at the Plasau Chapel for the females. Ad- dresses were delivered by the Revs. Abel J. Parry, of Swansea, and E. Peters, Bala, and those present formed themselves into a Women's Temperance Society, and appointed a president, secretaries, treasurer, and a working committee to superintend the visiting and other efforts. At five p.m. a conference was held at the Congregational Chapel, attended by delegates from the surrounding district, and presided over by Mr. Roger Hughes. surgeon. The delegates reported upon the state of the temperance cause in their various districts, after which the Rev. Abel.L Parry delivered an address inculcating a more united effort by the different temper- ance forces--tiie total abstainers, the Band of Hope, the Blue Ribbon Army, and the Good Templars. They should not appear as rivals, but fellow-workers, and exert themselves to do the greatest amount of good. He was glad to learn that the Good Templars received a considerable addition to their number since the intro- duction of the Blue Ribbon movement to the town. This was as it should be. At the Good Templars' lodge they were nursed and cared for until they became strong. He referred to a prize essay in Welsh on total abstinence, which gained a prize of five guineas 9 at the literary meeting held at Balt last Christmas, in approving terms, and said that a wide circulation of this essay could not fail to benefit the temperance cause. He recommended them to form temperance choirs in each district, and to hold regularly weekly or fortnightly meetings to advocate the temperance cause, and not occasionally by spirits. He said the women's meeting in the afternoon was most successful. Fifty- five took the blue ribbon, forty-five of whom signed the pledge for the first time. It was unanimously resolved to form a union for the I district, to be called the Penllyn Gospel Temperance Union. "The friends of temperance from Llandderfel came to the town in three waggons, with the horses decorated, and accompanied by the Brass Band, whose members are total abstainers. After the conference a procession was formed at the Congregational Chapel, and headed by the band, proceeded through the streets to the Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Chapel, which was crowded, and a stage erected for the speak- ers. After devotional exercise by the Rev. D. Wil- liams. Llangollen, the chairman, Rev. D. Charles Edwards. M.A., in his opening address, referred to the special characteristics of the Blue Ribbon movement, or rather as it was otherwise called the Gospel Temper- aile" Union—the gospel first and temperance associated I therewith. Many had fallen so low. they would wish to be total abstainers, but there was no power other than the gospel which could raise them from their degraded position—the gospel was the only means of salvation— before tiie introduction of this movement. The success of the temperance cause was limited and confined to certain localities, but now it was universal, sending a thrill of enthusiasm for the welfare of humanity throughout the kingdom. (Cheers).—The Rev, Abel J. Parry, Swansea, delivered an able and effective address, and recounted the temperance movement in its various aspects—the moderation principle -and then the total abstinence principle under various phases of temperance—friendly societies-tll c Rechahitcs- the Sciis of temperance, &c., which did much good in moving the place of meeting of members for payment from the public houses which was a great gain. o L This was followed by Good Templarism, which united the various temperance societies and brought forth an excellent system of temperance organization, centralizing the temperance forces and forming a well-disciplined army under regular and constant training. But lie con- sidered that the Gospel Temperance Union, or Blue Ribbon Army, was superior, as it had allied itself with the ev erlasting principles of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It was temperance carried out on the lines of the Gospel. It was started iu America by philanthropic gentlemen, who failed to do any good to the degraded masses with- out drawing them from the thraldom of drinking cus- toms. and by an outward badge of the blue ribbon they were known to each other, and formed a strong army. He entreated all present to join the movement. (Ap- plause.)--Upon the motion of the Rev. E. Peters. seconded by Mr. R. Hughes, surgeon, a vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Parry. About 2.30 persons joined the Blue Ribbon Army.

The United Friendly Society, better known as "Hen Glwb Ellis Rees," held their feast, out had no procession. The Female Friendly Society held their feast and had a quiet procession, w ithout even a fife and drum band to keep them company. The Idris Brass Band had been engaged to attend at Trawsfynydd, but on their return in the evening they broke a little of the stillness and dulness of the day, by playing several lively marches and quadrilles. ORDINATION* MKKTINC. — A few weeks ago we mentioned that Mr John Walters, one of the editors of the Jmuk r or A-,nscran Ci/mrii. Denbigh, had accepted the pastorate of the Independent Churches at Brithdir, Khydymaiu, and Tabor, near this town. On Wednes- day and Thursday, May 21tli and 2.">tli, the ordination services were held. On Wednesday evening, the Rev. W. Rees, D.D.. Chester, preached at Brithdir; Rev. T. Nicholson. Denbigh, at Rhydymain and the Rev. John Charles, Llanuvvchllyn, at Tabor (the old Quaker's meeting house).

PETTY SESSIONS, Teas DAY, MAY 30TH.— Before Esqrs W. J. Beale, R H. Wyatt, Dr Edward Jones, and H. Lloyd-Williams. (iamblinjt.—Mrs Lawless. Lion-street vaults, was charged with having permitted gambling in her house on the 27th of April last. Mr J. C. Hughes appeared for the prosecution, and Mr M. Louis, Ruthin, for the (lefetid-,iitt.-P.C. Morris said that he and P.C. Edwards were in Lion-street on the night in question, and hearing some noise in the Lion Vaults they listened by the door, and could hear the sound of some balls rolled over the floor, and some talk respecting the changing of half a sovereign, and that the sound of the voice appeared to him to be that of Vincent Humphreys. While they were at the door, Mr Lawless, the -on, came out, and requested the officers to go in, which they did. P.C. Edwards corro- borated. For the defence, Mr Louis called William Jones, tailor, who said that he and the other parties who were in the house were playing what lie thought to be a very innocent game. They had a number of pegs fixed at regular distances, and they threw corks between them, and the one who could send the larger number of corks through without overturning the pegs, won certain points, but they neither played for money nor drink. Messrs John Hughes, joiner, John Pugh, Richard Jones, carrier, Vincent Humphreys, and Lawless, also testified to the same effect. Some merri- ment was caused by Richard Jones describing the affair as nothing more "than little children's play."— The Bench considered the evidence insufficient to con- vict for gambling, but commended the officers for attempting to put down what is only too well known to be customary in some of the public houses. Xoit-Liri'ns<-il Slaughter Hon*—Messrs Richard Mills, grocer, and Thomas Richards, and John Jones, butchers, were charged by the Dolgelley Local Board with slaughtering animals in unlicensed slaughtering houses, and were fined 5s. each and costs.

PWLLHELI. Co.MI'ETITLVK MKKTINC.—A meeting was held on Whit Monday, in the National Schoolroom. In spite of the united attractions of an eisteddfod at Aberdaron. a horse show at Carnarvon, and a large meeting at Llithfaen, there was a good attendance in the evening, though rather meagre in the afternoon, and altogether the meeting may be said to have been a success. The competitions were confined to the Church Sunday Schools of the parishes of Denis, Llannor, Abererch, and Llaubedrog. The adjudicators in the several subjects were:—The Rev Thomas Jones, rural dean and rector of Llanengan; the Rev D. Morgan, Penrhyn- deudraeth; the Rev J. Morgan, Bangor; Mr Shelmer- dine, Haulfryn; and Mr Ffrangcon Davies, Hendre, Llanaclhaiarn. The Chairman in the afternoon was the Rev D. Jones, vicar of Pwllheli, who was ably supported by the Revs. T. Prichard, Pwllheli James Rowlands, Llanbedrog and J. M. Jones, Abererch. The following is a list of the prize winners :—For repeating the Apostles'creed, Ellis Williams and T. Owen, Abererch, and D. Prichard, Pwllheli; church catechism and a hymn, D. Jones and S. Jones, Aber- erch ten commandments and a hymn, in Welsh, R. Jones and G. Roberts, Abererch, H. Roberts, Llan- bedrog in English, Nellie W illiams, M. Davies, and E. JDobson, Pwllheli the sacraments and a hymn, in Welsh, L. Hughes, R. Owen, and E. Jones, Abererch in English, N. Williams and M. Davies, Pwllheli; history of Joseph, N. Williams and M. C.

Roberts, Abererch, and W. H. Thomas, Pwllheli reading of an English piece not before seen, W. H. Thomas and Nellie Williams, Pwllheli for the best map of Wales, showing boundaries of counties, 1st, W. H. Thomas, 2nd, John Davies, both of the National School, Pwll- heli. The chairman in the evening meeting was the Rev. Thomas Prichard, Pwllheli, in the unavoidable absence of Mr 0. Evans, Broom Hall. Mr Ffrangcon Davies made a most amusing and efficient conductor. For singing "Cawn lanio draw," the first prize was awarded to a party of four children, all of one family, from Mynytho. The leader was a little fellow of about eight years of age, who took the tenor part. They were heartily applauded, and well deserved the prize. ,lp The 2nd prize went to a party of Abererch Church Choir. Reciting eight verses of Gray's elegy, 1, W. H. Thomas. Pwllheli, and R. Owen, Abererch. The prize for read- ing in Welsh a piece not before seen was divided be- 0 tween W. H. Thomas and Hugh Jones, Pwllheli; translation of a Welsh piece into English, W. H. Thomas for singing hymn ;jSS in Canon Evans' hymn book, the Abererch choir took half the prize for reciting twenty-four lines of "Cywydd y rliow," R. Owen. Aberch the essays on church history were not worthy of the prize; for impromptu speaking in Welsh the prize was divided between W. H. Thomas and Hugh Jones. Pwllheli; bass solo from Teyrnasoe(ld yddaear," Mr W. Williams, Abererch; the prize for an essay on "Samuel" was divided between Annie Hughes and W. H. Thomas, Pwllheli English spelling z, 11 bee, H. Jones, Pwllheli Welsh spelling bee, H. Jones; for chanting the psalm. "DeusMisercatur," Abererch Church Choir; essay on St. Paul's travels, prize divided between W. H. Thomas, and Robert Owen, Abererch. The attempts in the three subjects in the Barddoniaeth were not considered worthy of the prize. The proceedings were considerably enlivened by some good singing. The Misses Jones, Mynytho, sang the duet, "Minute gun at sea." Mr Ff. Davies gave" The message," and later on, "So sir page," which gained a loud encore, in response to which he kindly sang. "I wooed her in the spring time." Mr W. H. Benskin sang "The sailor's wooing." The Rev J. Morgan Jones, vicar of Abcrercli. who acted as secretary, deserves a tribute of praise for the untiring way in which he has worked to ensure success at this meeting, and no doubt he felt rewarded for his toil by seeing his own parishioners so successful in the various competitions. The rev. gentleman found an able and willing coadjutor in the Rev. T. Pritchard, who acted as secretary in 18S1.

PORT I FATAH ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday morning last, the infant child of Cadwalader Williams, residing at Back Chapel-street. Portmadoe, was accidentally run over by a caravan. The driver of the caravan was walking with the horse aud noticed the little, child who was apparently going in a direction away from the caravan. It seems, however, to have turned round again, for on looking back the driver found that the wheel had gone over the child. The deceased w as fifteen months old. looking back the driver found that the wheel had gone over the child. The deceased w as fifteen months old. At an inquest held on Wednesday, before Dr. Hunter Hughes, the coroner for South Carnarvonshh-e, a verdict of "Accidentally killed" was returned. SHOOTING MATCH.—The Whit-Monday rifle match in connection with the Portmadoe Rifle Volunteers, which has now become quite an institution in Port- madoe, was held again this year. The prizes were of the same miscellaneous description as usual embracing plated teapot, whiskey and beef, meerschaum pipe, four cwts. of coals, and a leg of mutton and various other things "too numerous to mention." The shooting match, which was open to all comers, com- menced at 1),0 a.m. and was continued until six in the evening, competition being well kept up during the whole time. The contest was under the control of the sergeants of the company, one of whom (Sergeant Mulqueen) succeeded in taking the first prize with a total score of eighteen out of a possible score of twenty. The prizes were the gift of tradesmen and others in the town. Wiirr.srNTiDK HOLIDAYS.—Some years ago the Monday in Whit week was not regarded in any way as a holiday—the great day of holiday making being Easter Monday. Now, how ever, Whit Monday is fast gaining in popularity, and seems likely soon to be the holiday of spring time. The people of this district seemed almost all to have determined to take a holiday this year, and the beautiful fine weather which pre- vailed on Monday made the holiday doubly enjoyable. The horse show at Carnarvon took away a great number in the early morning, others went to the beach at Criccieth, and others again sought amuse- ment in angling in the mountain streams and lakes. But what Portmadoc lost in absentees seemed to be made up by the influx of visitors from other sources, and throughout the day the town was quite gay with holiday seekers. COCKTY COURT, Tiu'k^DAY, MAY 25th.—Before Mr Homersham Cox. Cattle Dispute.—-Humphreys v. Jones. Mr Davies, Dolgelley, for the plaiiitity, and Mr Allanson for the defendant. The plaintiff, Ellis Humphreys, stated that lie bought a cow from the defendant and gave in exchange a cow worth £7 and 7s. Od. in cash. The date of delivery was November '29th, 1881. He saw it a few days before in the cow house and defendant was then there. The cow w as not fat. He asked defend- ant wdiat condition it was in and whether it was healthy. Defendant replied that it was quite healthy but did not thrive in that place. It was a cold high place. They met at the quarry and agreed there to buy. The cow was brought to the plaintiff and he saw it the next morning. It was very ill and lie mentioned it to the defendant, who replied that it was the same when he bought it from another farm. Sometimes it improved, and at times was worse again. It calved in about seven weeks. Plaintiff saw it getting worse and sent J. Morgan and John Owen to defendant, and afterwards sent the cow back to him in March last, and was told on the following Monday that the cow was dead. He had given it meal and gone to expense. but did not give it medicine. In cross-examination, plaintiff-said he was accustomed to cows. He had been to the fair and ten guineas was the price. He did not pay the money for a mouth after he had the cow—perhaps after calving. He knew what diarrhea was. No accident happened to the cow while it was in plaintiff's possession. Plaintiff had a farrier to see it —his brother-in-law Owen Jones. The cow died of purging, and his brother-in-law said the lung was bad. In re-examination, the plaintiff stated that lie paid for the cow after he had it because he was not certain whether it would improve. He did not give it medicine. Owen Jones advised him, but he did not follow that advice.—ldis Honour entered a nonsuit against the plaintiff without costs. Horse, Warrant;—John Thomas, of the Claslyn Factory, v. R. W. Jones, Prince Llewelyn Hotel, Beddgelcrt. Plaintiff", who is a weaver, brought this action for a mare. Mr Allansou appeared for the plaintiff. Plaintiff stated that on the 27th January he went to the Prince Llewelyn Hotel where lie was informed by the plaintiffs wife that they had a mare to sell. The plaintiff was then ill, Plaintiff in- formed defendant's wife that he required the marc for posting. She said she had ;t horse and a mare, and would sell the mare for Clli. She said the marc had worked at all kinds of work, and that plaintiff could not get a better mare for that work. He asked whether she had been used to a cart, and was answered Yes, she had no fault, but had had a fall." Witness 'told defendant's wife he was not used to horse dealing, and she repeated her statement several times. Plaintfff was to pay f 15 10s., and defendant was to keep the mare until February 6th. He did not get a receipt. He did not work her until March 11th, when he lent her to Robert Owen, and tried her himself at the same time in a cart. She would not start. He tried her three times. She was about ten minutes before she would start, and jumped back to the wall for that time. She went very well after she had started. On March lith, lie, saw Mrs Jones, and endeavoured to settle, and on the 2Stli, he took her back to the Prince Llewelyn stables. On the 13th April, he sold her for E7 10s., out of which he paid the auctioneer 10s. In cross-examination, plaintiff stated that he bought hcr January 27th. and complained in March. He put her in a field in the marsh, and wrote to Mrs Jones on March 14th, "Blemish on her thih." He saw Owen on 11th March, and did not know why he had not mentioned that in his letter. He then thought he had made a bad bargain. Richard Williams had been working the mare. They said he could not get a better mare. Plaintiff said he was a weaver, and thought posting would pay better. He was willing to take the mare at a lower price.—Edward Roberts, of Port- madoc, said he went to see the mare on the 27th of January. Defendant's wife said the mare was quite right, that she was fit for every sort of work. Plaintiff and defendant's wife were an hour or more bargaining. Cross-examined The marc was to run in a cir. The plaintiff knew of the blemish when he bought her. Witness knew the mare before, and she worked all right.—Robert Owen, timber merchant, Portmadoe, said he borrowed the mare in March, and was present when she was tried. She had an empty cart behind her.—William Griffith, servant to the last witness, said lie tried the mare at the station, but could not get her to move. She had a load of ten cwt.—Judg- ment was given for the defendant with costs. ° I There were no other cases of public interest. PETTY SESSIONS, FRIDAY, MAY 26TH.— Before G. TT r. rt 1 ft' f"l: iti. uwen, oamuei urimtn, ami J. T. illiams, Esqs. Peddlhvj irithout, License.—Henry Barker was brought up in custody, and admitted the above offence at Port- madoe on the 23rd May. He was convicted and bound over in f5 to appear for judgment. Noit-I)ayiizeiit of Rates.—Thomas Rees was summoned for non-payment of rates, and on proof of demand, a warrant was ordered to issue in fourteen days.

CRICCIETH. LITKRARY, MEETINC,.—On Whit-Monday the first annual gathering of the Sunday School Association connected with the Calvinistic Methodist Connexion (embracing Portmadoe, Penrhyndeudraeth. Garn, Cric- eieth, &c.) was held at Criccieth, when competitions took place in singing and literary compositions. Owing to the fine weather there was not such a large gathering as usually attends gatherings of this nature. There were two meetings, one in the afternoon and the other in the evening. LOCAL BOARD, SATURDAY, MAY 27TH. Present: Messrs. G. H. Owen, chairman, W. Watkin, J. T. Jones, W. Williams, Dr. Roberts, G. Griffiths, and J. Bowen. Minutes.—The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. The. Polluted Well.—-The Chairman produced an analysis of the water from the well called Ffynon-y- Maes, which had been submitted for analysis. The report stated that the water was in a very impure state. The Chairman expressed his willingness at once to con- nect the cowhouse built on his land with the main drain, provided the Board would bring the drain within the distance required by the Act (100 feet).—It was resolved that the Board should do so, and the Clerk was instructed to give notice to Mr. John Rowlands, of the Soda Water Works, to connect his place also with the main drain. Salaries.—Mr John Thomas .Jones called attention to the salaries of the officers which he said was ex- ceesive considering the amount of work to be done by them and the poverty of the district, and he moved that the salaries should be redticed.-Tliis was seconded by Mr Griffith Griffith.—Mr Watkins proposed as an amendment that the salaries should remain as they were.—Mr William Williams, in seconding the amend- ment, called attention to the fact that Mr J. T. Jones had three months ago moved a similar resolution which was then rejected, and lie hoped lie would not again refer to the subject during the present year. The amendment was supported by all the members except the mover and seconder of the resolution, and the salaries therefore remain undisturbed. Improrcments.—The Clerk was directed to apply for the consent of the Local Government Board to a" loan being obtained from the Commissioners of Public Works for permanent improvements in the borough.

NEWTOWN. NEWTOWN AND Llanli.WCHAIARN" SCHOOL BOARD.— At a meeting of the above Board held on Friday. May 26th, it was decided that Mi;s Brock should be accepted as a pupil teacher in tiie Now Road School, and the Misses Hughes, Maclure, and Rees for the Penygloddfa School, providing they pass the examine tion at the next inspection. Several certificates 0 proficiency were granted to children who were entitled to work half time. The question of the eny- gloddfa School was adjourned until the next meeting- NEWTOWN AND LLANLLWCIIATARN LOCAL BOABI> A special meeting of the above Board was held on Friday, May 26th. for the purpose of meeting Capt31^1 Cockburn, it. 15., of the Orduance Survey office, Chester> with a view of commencing an ordnance survey 0 Newtown on a different scale, so that the scale wig", be submitted for tiie approval of the Director Genera (f r-" 1 "1-¡, urunance survey.

The number of immigrants arriving at New York during May is about S4,000, the largest number ever landed in one month. The total for May last yean 78,000, was the highest monthly total that year. January the total arrivals have been about 225,000, against 187,000 for the same period of last year. The different nationalities are represented in about the san^ proportions as heretofore, except that the increase l the Italian percentage continues. It is expected that the emigration from the Mediterranean y1' become very large. Tiie demand for all kind5 of labour, skilled and unskilled, far exceeds the supplJl despite the heavy arrivals. There is a special deinaIlt for weavers, tailors, carpenters, and joiners. Abollt 10 per cent. of all the male arrivals are mechanics- The remainder are farmers and common labourers- The demand for family servants is unprecedented, greatly exceeding the supply.
