In order to compare with previous Boards, this rate on the old valuation of rateable value would be a trifle over Is Id. Having 2,0001 at their backs, in going from office as against 224Z, the present Board could have easily reduced the rate to lid or llid, on the old valuation. It was considered more honour- able to leave the finances of the Board in a satisfactory manner to the next Board, and leave to them as well the credit of reducing the rate, which by this they will be enabled to do partly next I-ear.-The Board and Intermediate Education One of the most important and difficult questions that fell to the lot of the Board to consider, was it attitude towards the attempt to abolish the Higher Grade schools, and the transfer of their work to the Intermediate School about to be established. The Board by its resolutions has uniformly adhered to its opinion that doing away with these schools would be a grievous loss to the educational scheme, and a retrograde step in our educational age. By its firmness it has made that change now impossible, and has secured for all the children, the blessings of a thorough education. The Board has kept steadily before it the desirability of providing as thoroughly for the girls as for the boys, without any distinction except the training that may be suitable for each sex. T. J.

PWLLHELI. NATIONAL SCHOOL CONCERT. — On Thursday, the 25th February, a successful eutertainment was given in the National School" by a number of children who had attended most regularly during the past six months. The chair was taken by Mr Richard Roberts, Hope House. The Prologue" was well recited by J. R. Toleman, after which the audience was welcomed in a novel manner by seven girls. The song The Professor and L.L. D by D. W. Hughes evoked great laughter, as also" A little boy's speech which was so deliberately and distinctly recited by Arthur Pughe (seven years old) that the audience demanded a repetition. The H Laughing song" by the children was well received and the people, catching the humour, laughed with the singers most heartily. Nelly's shilling" was well recited by Janet Davies. Six boys, with appropriate gesture, informed the com- pany what they intended to be When they were men," and the first part closed with Musical drill by the boys which was witnessed with great interest. The second part commenced with a soug "I The flower girl by Ethel M. Benftkin, which was followed by a spirited recitation Little soldiers" by the boya, whose mimic warfare caused great amusement. Morris Roberts posed as an Harmonious shoeblack and his song was very effective. A little girl a | speech was rendered by Kate A. White, and Sophia Ensor faultlessly recited a lengthy piece entitled Little Christel." A very amusing action song," The burlesque band" was then given by the boys, and their vigorous manipulation of the various imaginary musical instruments, especially the big bass drum, caused roars of laughter and it had to be repeated. At the close, the Vicar, Rev E.T. Davies, proposed and Mr W. A. Hughes, N.P. Bank, seconded a cordial vote of thanks to Mr W. fl. Benskin and Miss A. Hughes, for the trouble and care they had taken in preparing the children for the entertainment. The Chairman also complimented the teachers on the concert and showed his appreciation in a practical manner by subscribing half-a-guinea to the funds. Hearty thanks having been accorded to Mr Richard Roberta for presiding, the National Anthem terminated an enjoyable evening.

THE TOWN CLOCK. During a conversation with regard to the lighting of the Town Clock Mr T Owen said that as the clock chimed every quarter of an hour he did not see why they should waste money in lighting it —Mr Charles Evans also thought tliatithey could do without lighting. -Mr James said that be thought that they could easily do away with the light altogether.—Mr John Davies did not think it well that the light should be put out; and the matter was adjourned for a month, on the pro- position of Mr S. Davies, seconded by Mr David j)avjfS jjr C Evans'gave notice of motion that at the next Council he would move that three month's notice be given to the Gas Company,to terminate the contract of lighting the Town Clock. DRAINAGE SCHEME. The Acting Clerk having stated that a letter had been sent to the Local Government Board for sanction to borrow money for this scheme, but no reply had been received. Mr Thomas Owen propoeed, and Mr Crarles Evans seconded, and it was agreed that another letter should be sent to them. THE COUNTY COUNCIL. The Acting Clerk said that no reply had been re- ceived from the Clerk to the County Council to the letter sent with regard to thequestion of the main roads within the borough.—Mr T. Owen asked whether the Town Clerk or any one else knew that the County Council had tiken over certain roads in the borough at their August meeting.—Mr E. Lloyd said that it did not seem that the Town Clerk knew of the fact accord- ing to the letter he hai eetit.-NLIr T. Owen said that certainroads had been taken over by the County Council since last August and the Surveyor had been repairing them.—Mr David James understood that the County Council were willing to take the roads over, but Mr Owen"said that they had been taken over.—Mr David Jamessaid that theCounty Council would have to obtain the sanction of the Town Council before they could be declared main roads.—Mr T Owen said that they were in the dark between the Town Clerk and the County Council.—Mr E. Lloyd said that he thought that the Town Clerk was under the im- pression that the Council knew. --Mr David James said that it would be better for them to take the roads offered to them by the County Council, or they would not get anything at all. It was a great disadvantage that the Town Clerk was not present that day. They could not get on like that.-Mr Ernest Lloyd said thitt he would like to explain that the Town Clerk had been caned a ay suddenly on behalf of Mrs Millard and could not possibly decline to go. He did not know how his absence effected that question at all. Mr T. Owen I think it does.Mr David James You were not able to answer certain questions put to you by Mr Owen.—Mr E. Lloyd said it was not likely the Town Clerk would conceal anything from the Town Council, and if there were any insinuations that he had wilfully concealed anything from the Council, it was perfectly unfounded.—Mr J. W. Evans asked if they had had any intimation from the County Council? It struck him that they ought to have had some intima- ticn from them.—Mr E. Lloyd said that they had the power to maintain the roads themselves and claim the money from the County Couucil.-Mr David James understood it that the County Council would take tbe roads over if they were given the sanction of the Town Council. Mr T. Owen said that as there was a Local Government Inspector comiug down he thought he could also inquire into the question of main roada.- Mr S. Davies proposed and it was agreed that their representative on the County Council should be asked to do liisibegt at the next meeting of fthi County Council to get roads within the borough declared main roads.

Owen,it was agre d that as the 8th of M..y fell on a ¡ Sunday this year that the DalUs Fair should be held on the 6th and 7th of May. -It was also agreed to advertise the fair in the Cambrian News and theSonth Wales papers and by posters.—Mr S. Davies handed in a letter which he had received from Dihewyd, Tal- earn, stating tha*. the writer happened to read in the Cambrian New.i that Mr Davies intended to alter the date of Dallis Fair. He called attention to the fact that provision had been granted in ancient times pro- hibiting the keeping of fairs on the same day as the Dihewyd and the Dallis fair within a radius of fifteen mile. (Laughter). THE ABERYSTWYTH SURVEYOR. Mr J. W. Evans wished to c-ill the attention of the Couucil to a report of the Aberystwyth Town Council whijh appeared in the Cambrian News of last wc k, which stated that a letter had been received from Lam- I peter asking for the services of the Surveyor in a matter concerning the water supply and a probable law suit. Did anybody know anything about it ? Had it been before the Council ? As Chairman of the Com. mittee he knew nothing about it, -,M, David Davies I It", as suggested in this room some six months ago.- Mr J. W. Evans: There has been no intimation of a law suit. Mr David Davies That ought to be answeied—Mr T. Owen It is nothing.—Mr J. W. Evans The letter was sent from Lampeter and we ought to say that as a Town Council we know nothing about it.—Mr S. Davies Perhaps the Town Clerk h'8 written ?-The Acting Clerk: I see nothing in the cor. respondence book.-Mr David Davies We know no- thing about any law suit. It :appears that the ap- plication did not refer to the town supply.
CORRIS.
CORRIS. CHURCH RE-UNIOf.-The Re-Union in connection with Holy Trinity Church, Corris, and Chiist Church, Upper Corris, was held at the National Schoolroom on St. David's Day.

After tea each child received an apple and an orange, provided for them by the Vicar (Rev R. J. Edwards. B.A.,) and Mr and Mrs Hugh Jones, Abercorris The wants of the childron having been attended to. a knife and fork tea was partaken of by the adult members of the above named churches from 4 to 7 p.m. The tea, &c., was provided by Mr and Mrs Owen, Braich Goch Inn, under the supervision of a committee of lady members amongst whom were Mrs Edwards. Vicarage, Mrs J. R. Dix, Brynawel. and Miss Bright, Bronygraig. The room had been tastefully decorated with flowers, banners, Chinese lanterns. &c., by Mrs Dix, Miss Bright, Miss Griffiths. &c. A prominent feature in the decorations was a nicely formed shiftld of leeks, having the in- scription Gwlad y Cenin," and a shield with the invitation Come and Join in English and Welsh. In the evening a free entertainment was given to all Church people and the parents of the children of the National School. The chair was taken by the Vicar, who was supported on the platform by Messrs Ed. Williams. Frongoch, J. R. Dix, Brynawel, Dr J. T. Jones, Bronygraig. John Lewis, Abercwmeiddaw, &c.

Addrestes were delivered during the evening by the Vicar and Messrs Williams, Dix, Jones and Lewis strongly urging the necessity of religious education in our day schools. The room was crowded and the whole proceedings were marked by great enthusiasm. The peifcrmances of the school children showed careful training, especially the recita- tion by the eight boys viz., D. W. Ellis, Lewis Williams, W. H. Williams, D. 0. Jones, J. R. Edwards, E. R. Pritchard, J. G. Jones, and Ernest Dix, which was illustrative of eight different trades. The singing of the anthem Stand up for Jesus" by the children of the C.E.T.S.,the opening eolo of which was sweetly sung by Gertie Smith, reflected great credit on their conductor, Mr W. E. Williams, Glan- yrafon, who is also the conductoroftheStringBand. Mr Wm. Jones, Fronwen (organist of Holy Trimty Church was the accompanist. The usual votes of thanks having been passed, the proceedings were brought to a close by the singing of "God the save Queen," the polo being sung by Gertie Smith and the chorus heartily sung by the school children and all present.
TOWYN.
TOWYN. DEBATING SOCIETY.—At the weekly meeting of the Society held on Monday evening last, with Mr H P Thomas in the chair, Mr S Edmuuds in an elaborate paper affirmed that the memory is prejudicially affected by the habit of using notes and scraps. Mr J C Edwards, in a capital paper lucidly read, maintained that the contrary was the case. Mr D 0 Jones, Mr J M James, Mr H M Roberts, Mr E J Evans, and Mr P H Hughes took part in the discussion which followed. On the closing of the meeting a majority of three declared in favour of notes and scraps. LATB WINTER.—Frost and daffodils, wild swans and lambs, snow and primroses, with the birds singing on icicled trees are phenomena worthy of the good old time which had died of old age before men lived to enjoy it. The old grass has perished in the blizzard and the yocng grass is bitten to death by the frosty breath of the night, and the little lambs live and die between sundown and sunrise. The foddei is being faetly consumed and the northern blast is howling abroad, and the outlook is dark indeed for man and beast. Churches, chapels, councils, boards, and con- gresses are multiplying, .yet suffering and misery do not eeem to decrease. OBITUARY.—Mr David Davies, of Station-road, was buried at St. Cadvan's Churchyard on Monday, the 29th of last month. The deceased was a kind and genial man and had. a large circle of friends who proved most faithful and attentive to him during months of severe illness. The deceased in his younger days had been a distinguished waggoner and was justly celebrated for his skill in driving waggons over difficult and dangerous places. And often towards the close of his career he would relate with evident pride come of his achievements of the whip. There was a very large attendance of reople from all the surround- ing country and marks of respect and sympathy were shown on all sides of the route from the house to the grave. Blinds were drawn, shops and other places of business closed. Tall GlltLS DID IT.—The scavenger's cart goes round the street* early on Wednesday and Saturday morn- ings and there prevails a custom of putting the ashes and other house refuse in tubs outside the houses and on the sides of the streets the night before. Some people put the tubs out early, some late, but there appears to he a decided atagonisrn on the part ot some persons to the tubs, and night after night they were tilted and their contents spilled over the street. All those interested in the order and decency of the stive's watched and did their best to find out the perpetrators of the mischief but for a long time to no purpose. One night last week, however, the efforts of the police were crowned with success, and the guilty parties were caught in the very act. They werltt not boys fond of horse play, but two servant girls who sallied out for a run and swooped down upon and overturned the tubs in two or three streets before they could be stopped. This practice has been going on for months but the end has come, to the ehanie of the g" LLANDECWYN.
LLANDECWYN.
INQUEST.—An inquest was held by R. O. Jones. Esq the deputy coroner, on the 1st March, at Felmrhydfawr farmhouse, Maentwrog, upon the body of Robert Pugh, of the same place, farm labourer aged 53 year! who was found hanging in the barn at the fan.e place on the 29th February last. Mr Abraham Evans was foremau of the jury. Mr Griffith Owen, of Felinrhydfawr, farmer, said that deceased had been in his employ from November Wt, and had been previously for about three year*. He last saw him alive on Sunday night last between 9.30 and 10 o'clock. He had a talk with him respecting his pllvae afl..¡¡rs. When he came to the house at about seven o'clock he said he had had fit, and he fell into witness's arms and said he was in a fit, and remained in his arm;, for about half an hour before he came to himself. He gave deceased a little water and after- wards a little wine and then he went to bed Before going to bed witness went to deceased's bedroom and spoke to him and asked if anything vexed him. He said I have not been the same after burying my sister." Witness tl-o asked him if money matters vexed him and he said they did, that he had had a little loss. He looked rather downhearted until witness spoke to him. The following morning (Monday) witness was called to the barn about 6.30 and found deceased hanging by a rope from the beam, quite dead but warm. He appeared 1\8 if hehadonly just died. E VV illia ms, servant to lost witness, stated that she last saw him alive about 6 o'clock yesterday (Monday) morning. He was in the house and came to the kitchen to her and asked for a light to light his lamp. She a-ked him if he was better and he said "I nm pretty well." He seemed rather low-spirited. He then went to the barn and witness went there in about half- an-hour afhr him and then saw that he had hanged himself with a rope placed round the beam. She ran out for help and got another servant man and they took deceased down. She said she first went to the cowhouse and called for him to go and milk the cows but as he did nut answer she went up to the loft and found him hanging as already described.—The jury returned a verdict of Buicide while of unsound mind.
