The action of the present delinquents are neither better nor worse than the actions 01 others. They followed the usual course. But most people will agree the proceedings usually adopted are primitive, and if reported in their simple nakedness, a lurid reflection would be cast upon our sanitary conceptions. If the Council will have the courage to prosecute, they ought also to issue instructions as to the methods which they are able, as sanitary authority, to sanction in dealing with similar conditions, and those should be pratic- able and easy to adopt.

Un o gynyrchion y ddefod y tro hwnw yw y penill canlynol. Testun y bryddest fuddugol oedd Y Prynedigaeth."

On Friday, in last week, two young men, stroll- ing on the Quay at seven o'clock in the morning, found that a small dog which they had, entered excitedly so far as it was able into whatever open- ing there was, in the stacks of larch poles and other timber which are piled near the look out." They watched, thinking that *he subjects of its attention must be rats. But they were suprissd to lee a fine hare breaking cover." It ran by Pier Cottage making for Drefnewydd fields. Possibly the hare was attracted by the crinkled moss and dried ivy which clung to the bark. Mr Howell Evans, chief constable of Cardigan- shire, is seeking a more opulent appointment at Durham. The inhabitants of the county of all classes will join with the county constabulary in hoping that he will remain in Cardiganshire. It is seldom given to any man in any position to enjoy in so great a measure the universal esteem and confidence of all classes. And yet his appointment and that of his predecessor, the late Ser- geant Evans, were the occasions of the toughest battles ever fought by any public body. Feeling ran to within a hair's breadth of physical force. Stolid justices, army men, experienced commercial men, and academical notabilities almost gnashed their teeth in one another's faces. Twelve County Council men and twelve Quarter Sessions men were ranged in drawn battle for nearly two years. The County Council section prevailed and their choice in the case of Mr Howell Evans has amply justified their policy. The success of Mr Howell Evans is more remarkable because he was immediately (upon his appointment) face to face with a condition of affairs which tested to the utmost his tact and capacity. No sooner did he come into the county than the tithe war reached its zenith. Being a popular-elected officer, he had to maintain the law without unduly arousing the susceptibilities of the people. He succeeded. To win the unrestrained tribute of an acute critical and minutely-informed people, such as the Cardies are, is a wonderful achievement. Mr Bowen Row- lands, when member for the county, often used to ■ay—" As member of the Eighty Club, I frequently deliver political addresses in the home counties and I assure you, said Mr Rowlands, the people are quite fifty years behind the people of Cardigan- shire." It is possible to buy promotion at too high a price, and why Mr Howell Evans should wish to quit Cardiganshire for Durham, even for twice his present salary, is not quite clear. If Mr James Dewhurst and Mr H. W. Seex were here, a meetiong would have been convened this week to consider whether there is sufficient energy in the town to arrange a syllabus for another session of literary society work. The materials and disposition are forthcoming, it is only a. couple of devoted and tactful secretaries that are wanted. It would appear that it falls to the lot of the chairman, Mr C. Denham Evans (that the two secretaries have left the town) to convene a town j meeting. It is hoped that a vigorous literary winter may confront us thick with literary meetings, concerts, and even Church defence meet- ings with lantern views.

CARDIGAN. GAS COMPANY.—This company was incorporated forty years ago, and Mr Lowther, who resigned last week, had held the secretaryship during all those years. LLANTOOD U.D. BOARD SCHOOL.—Mr J Oliver Jones, formerly of Festiniog, now of Bangor, has been appointed headmaster of Bridell Board School and intends residing at Cardigan. CO-OPERATION AMONG FARMERS.—A movement is on foot to form agricultural co-operation and an influential private meeting was held at the Council Chamber on Saturday for the purpose of discuss- ing the question. MUSICAL SOCIETY.—Steps are being taken to form a society of this nature in the town to practice opera music during the winter months and give a public performance of the same at the close of the season. THE COMMON GARDEN PLOTS.—These plots, re- served from the common land for the poor and working class were, at a committee meeting of the Town Council on Friday night last, let to about fifty applicants at an annual rental of one shilling. MUNICIPAL.—Though the first of November is not far distant, municipal affairs are very quiet. The four retiring members are Councillors A. Clougher (Mayor), T. H. Williams, D. Ivor Evans, and Thomas Watkins, who, probably, will seek re-election. MEASLES.—Owing to the prevalence of measles among the children in the town, the Medical Officer of Health issued an order on Monday to close the Board and National Schools for three weeks. BURIAL BOARD.—The duties of this Board are performed by the Town Council. At the monthly meeting on Monday there was only the usual routine business transacted, such as the granting of grave-plots, etc. TABERNACLE CHAPEL.—The church and congre gation assembly at this place of worship have been holding their Sunday services at the Guild Hall for several Sundays but it is anticipated that the last services were he d on Sunday evening last, as the work of renovation has progressed sufficiently to allow them to re-enter the chapel next Sunday. The contract will not be completed for two months again. MEASLES.—This disease, during last week, has prevailed in an epidemic form among children, especially infants, so much so that the number of attendances in the departments of the Board and National Schools are materially reduced, and the Medical Officer of Health has ordered them to be closed. COUNTY COURT.—The bi-monthly sitting of this Court was held on Friday last at the Guild Hal!, but there were no cases of public interest. The new cases numbered twenty-four judgment sum- monses, seventy-one and three adjourned. The business was disposed of before the Registrar except the judgment summonses, which came be- fore his Honour Judge Bishop. PRESENTATION. — On Tuesday evening, the members of the postal staff of Cardigan, St Dogmell's, and district presented Mr J. J. Owen, chief clerk at the Cardigan Post Office, with a marble clock as a memento of their good wishes towards him on the occasion of his marriage and as a token of esteem. Mr Owen suitably returned thanks. NATIONAL SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CONSUMPTION. — The Sites Committee of the Western Branch of the South Wales and Mon- mouthshire Branch of the above society intends visiting Cardigan and neighbourhood on the 20th October, for the purpose of inspecting the sites offered by Mr J. V. Colby, Rhosygilwen, and the Gwbert-on-Sea Syndicate and Dr Williams, Mountain Ash. ST. MARY'S CHURCH.—Full choral harvest thanksgiving services were held at the above Church on Sunday at 9-45 a.m., 11-30 a.m., and 6 30 p.m., when sermons were preached by the Rev D. Ambrose Jones, M.A., rector of Manordivy. On Monday evening, a Welsh service was held when the Rev W. H. Jones, Trelech, was the preacher. OBITUARY.—News has just reached here that Mr Charles Robert Griffith, chief officer in the British Steam Navigation Company, aged thirty-six years, died at Calcutta on September 12th last, of enteric fever. Deceased was the youngest son of Mr John Griffith, Parktwad, and formerly of Treforgan, Cardigan. AQUATIC CHASE.—Last Sunday afternoon week a novel chase was witnessed by a number of persons who happened to be on the rocks at Gwbert. The object of the chase was a large seal with nine porpoises following like hounds until they came within a few yards to the rock. Find- ing the water "becoming shallow, the porpoises made tracks away, having smelt danger, the eeal sheltering close to the rocks with only a portion of his head visible until the course was free for it to take its departure to its cave near the Island. BOROUGH PETTY SESSIONS.—At these Sessions on Monday before the Mayor, Colonel Picton Evans, and William Lewis, two assault cases were heard which attracted a good deal of attention and secured a large attendance in court. The complainant in one case was Mr Nioholas Isaac Davies, grocer, Mwldan, and the defendant was Mr Benj«mtn Davies, driver in the employment of the Bonded Stores, Mwldan, for whom Mr Stokes appeared. There was a cross-summons, and both were heard together. Complainant, who appeared in Court bearing marks of the scuffle, such as a black eye, swollen face, and a cut on the head, stated that on the 7th October he was assaulted by Benjamin Davies, in front of his house door, and the mark? observable were the results of the blows he had received. So severely he had been assaulted that he had been carried insensible into the house. Defendant was continually annoying him whilst unloading and loading goods to the warehouse, which was near the house. Two witnesses were called for the defence, both stating that plaintiff held a sweeping brush in his hand, at the same time stating that he would do for Benjamin, and that all the latter had done was in self-defence, and that he had not touched complainant until he had been assaulted by him first.—The Bench decided that an aisault had been committed, and imposed a fine of 2* 6j and costs. The cross' summons was dismissed. ST DOGMELL'S RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL.—The quarterly meeting of this Council wall held at the Magistrates' room, Eglwyswrw, on Thursday last, the members present being the Rev E. D. Evans (chairman), Messrs Thomas Hughes, D. Williams, B. Vaughan, Wm. Evans, George Biddyr, Dewi Harries, and Thomas Colby.—Ths Sanitary Inspector reported a case of typhoid fever at Penlan, Bridell, which had been imported. The road at Pentrelangwm, the St Dogmell's Parish Council informed him, as advised by the Clerk of the District Council, was private property, and that they had no right to interfere with it, but Dr Havard, the medical officer, maintained that it was a street, and that it can be taken over under the Public Health Act of 1875. The matter was left to the Clerk for investigation.—The Dinas Parish Council had appointed Capt Harries and Capt D. Richards to inspect the well at Cwmyreg- Iwys, with power to carry out the necessary im- provements. The subcommittee appointed to frame bye-laws for the regulation of slaughter- houses in the district had met, and recommended that the sample of the bye laws submitted to them should be adopted nem. con. The recommendation was adopted, :prioted copies thereof be sub- mitted to the Local Government Board for approval. —The circular from the Local Government Board bearing on small-pox and re-vaccination was allowed to stand over to thf next meeting.—An application to take over the road leading from Cwm- degwel to L'wyndafydd was considered, and it was resolved that, subject to the approval of the Sur- veyor, that it be taken over, as it was stated that the Cardigan Town Council had already acquiesced as regards their portion of the road. COUNTY SCHOOL.—At the monthly meeting of the Managers of this school on Monday, the Rev J. Williams presiding, a letter was read from the Clerk of the Llandyssul County School re advance of £10 in the salary of the cookery teacher which was indecisive in its character but as an advance could not be made without the co-operation of the Llandytsul Managers, the Clerk was requested to write for a definite answer. A letter was read from the Clerk of the Central Welsh Board, enclos- ing a copy of the resolutions passed at the joint conference of the Executive Committee and head teachers held at Shrewsbury, bearing on the de- sirability of insisting on a certain minimum of at. tainment before the granting of entrance scholarships and the granting of certificates, when called for, by H.M. inspectors to children passing from the ele mentary into the county schools. The question of a boy named Idwal Lloyd, from New Quay, who sat at Aberayron (the district in which he resided) for a county scholarship, coming out at the top of the list in the county and claiming tuition or a scholarship in the Cardigan County School, engaged the attention of the Managers for some time. It had been previously decided that Idwal Lloyd I could not be admitted as one holding a scholarship, but as a pupil. All the scholarships had been granted to boys and girls in their own district. The question had been discussed before in the case of Wwal Lloyd's sister, when the Charity Com- missioners had decided against the Managers. It was pointed out that children were allowed to go to any school they liked, but the question was who was to maintain them. It was ultimately resolved i i b aa ^anag0rs could not accept Idwal ji/r ,as .the winner of a scholarship in another district unless he was maintained by the Managers of that district. A resolution to that effect was entrusted to the Chairman, Mr Ivor Evans, and the Clerk to draw up and forward to the Board of Education for their decision. With respect to the Town Council's borough scholarships, it was reo ported that the delay was caused by the conduct of the Council in not approving of, or amending, the proposed scheme submitted for their consideration, but what had taken place at a committee meeting of the Council tended to complete the agreement and the scheme without further delay. The object of the Council was to confine their scholarships to poor children residing within the borough and who had failed to gain an open 8cholanhip.-The Head. master stated that the laundry chimney had not c improved after what had been done to it and the smoky state of the room was such as to make it impossible to work in it, and that the tubs ordered had not been supplied, hence the cooking classes had to be taken on Mondays and Tuesdays instead of laundry on Tuesdays,—Mr Benjamin Rees's motion condemning the Education Bill was carried and copies ofthe resolution requested to be forwarded to the Prime Minister, Mr Vaughan Davies, M.P., and Mr Wynford Philipps, M.P.—The report of the Committee appointed to consider the ques- tions of supplying a piano for the use of the school and the giving of lessons by Mr Elhngford, was adopted.—The report of the Central Board's in- spector on the work of the cookery school was on the whole satisfactory.—The following pupils of the school passed the annual examination of the Central Welsh Board in July last :—Honours certificates, Owen Thomas Griffiths English composition with distinction, Group I. (English literature) with dis- tinction, history of England and Wales with dis- tinction. Group II., French, senior certificate, George Thomas Bowen, Robert G. James, John Evans Phillips, and Harry Pugh junior certi- ficate, Howard Daniel, Rachel Davies, Tom Davies, David James Jones, Euronwy Lloyd, Frank Park- inson, Stanley S. Parkinson, and John William Thomas. TOWN COUNCIL.—An ordinary meeting of this Council was held on Monday morning, the Mayor presiding.—The Surveyor reported that he had measured and accepted a quantity of broken stones for the highway, and that there had been stocked a good heap of clay for the winter months, and that the culm-mixera were now satisfied with the arrangements. -Roots having worked their way into the Glanbran cistern of the Waterworks, it was proposed to open it on Tuesday so as to do away with the obstacle, and also to inspect and clean the Brynglas cistern. This would necessitate the cutting off the water supply for a day. The reservoir and the other cisterns had been cleaned. The supply of water for the town was very good, and systematical examination of taps in the dwelling-houses was made, so as to prevent waste. A new gas lamp being required at the north end of Victoria Gardens, being the town entrance from Gwbert, it was agreed to put a public lamp there and in response to a memorial from a number of inhabitants residing between "The Briar" and Brooklyn Villa," St Dogmells within the Borough, for an extra public lamp, it was resolved to visit the spot at night time and report thereon.—A notice 9f motion was given to place an extra public lamp in William-street.—In regard to the Llwyndafydd- road, St. Dogmells, a portion of which is in the borough, the Surveyor stated that it had not been put in such state of repair that he could recommend the Council to take it over. As it was a case of urgency,the Council as a committee decided to visit and view the road, so as to satisfy themselves what further improvements could be effected before undertaking the responsibility of taking it over. A portion of the road is in the St Dogmells Rural District, and that Council had instructed its Surveyor to report thereon.—With respect to the amended scheme for borough scholarships in the County School, formed by the Council paying fl2 rent in perpetuity for the old Grammar School room, it was adopted and the motion that the scheme be accepted, the Council undertaking to pay the costs of transfer, &c., was carried by a majority Qf nine to three. The Council sanctioned the scheme drawn up by a committee for the purpose of re-arranging and letting the garden plots for the poor and working men.—The Surveyor stated that the reason why the Pendre pavement extension had not been proceeded with was the lack of masons in the town, so many being engaged on new buildings, but he anticipated the work would be proceeded with shortly. Some owners of new houses having delayed in placing pavements in front of them, the Town Clerk was requested to draw their attention to the omission, and call upon them to finish the work without delay.—Measles were very prevalent in the town among children, otherwise the town was free from epidemic disease.—Before giving permission to erect a urinal over their premises at the end of the bridge, so as to do away with the one at present located on the centre of the bridge, they required a rough sketch thereof, and the Surveyor was requested to supply the same in time for the directors' meeting.—The Mayor having called attention to the fact that the sites com- mittee of the proposed consumption hospitals would visit the town that day week, on their way to Gwbert, where a site had been offered for one hospital, it was agreed to give the members of the committee a reception at the Guild Hall and as the Mayor had accepted the Lord Mayor of London invitation to a banquet and consequently would not be at home, the Ex-Mayor was appoint- ed to act as his deputy on the occasion.—The Council having discussed the advisability of having a steam roller to lay the streets of the borough, the Town Clerk was requested to ascertain the cost of hiring one for about six weeks.

ST. DOGMELLS. PROGRESS.—Through the exertions of Captain William Lloyd, Post Office, who has undertaken the work which should hare been done by the Parish Council, sufficient funds have been obtained to put up five new lamps at spots where they were greatly needed, viz., Cwm Bridge, Cwmmins, Penrhiw, Pentrelangwm, and Union-terrace. This will bring the number of lamps distributed about the village to twenty-three. MISSION.-The annual missionary meetings in connection with Blaeaywaun Baptist Church were held at Blaenwaun on Sunday morning last, and at Bethesda Chapel at two and six o'clock and on Monday evening at the latter place of worship. The officiating ministers were the Revs Dr Gomer Lewis, Swansea, and J. D. Hughes, Dowlais. The services were numerously attended and liberal collections were taken on behalf of the missions.

LLANBADAKN FAWR. HARVEST THANKSGIVING SERVICES —The usual harvest thanksgiving festival was held on Septem- ber 3Cth and October 1st, in favourable weather. There was Holy Communion at 8 a.m. Welsh service and sermon at 10 a.m. English service and sermon at 11 30 a.m. Welsh litany aad sermon at 3 p.m. and Welsh service and sermons at 6 30 p m. Able sermong were preached by the Rev T. P. Lewis, B.A., vicar of Silian; Rev J. Morris, MA., vicar of Llanybyther; and Rev E. Y. Davies, B.A., Capel Bangor. All the services were well attended, and the choir assembled in good numbers and sang the anthem, He giveth food to all flesh," very heartily, as they also did the rest of the services. The church had been taste- fully decorated by the following :-Altar, the Misses Morgan choir stalls, Mrs Atwood, Miss Tompson, and Mn Thomas pulpit, Mons. and Mme. Wilbaux, assisted by Miss Lucie Tompson lectern and font, the Misses Evans. Gifts of flowers, fruit, aud corn were kindly sent by Lady Evans, Major Bonsall, Captain Cosens, the Misses Jones, Mons. Wilbaux, the Misses Tompson, Mrs Thomas, Mrs Adams, Mrs Rogers, and others. The services were continued at Comminscoch Mission-room on October 3rd, at 3 p.m. and 6-30 p.m., the preachers being the Rev John^ Thomas, B.A., vicar of Penbryn, and the Rev E. Y. Davies, B.A., of Capel Bangor. The room was well filled at each service and prettily decorated by Miss Hughes, Mrs Pierce, Mrs Edwards, and Miss Polly Jones. The services throughout were very hearty. Gifti of flowers, fruit, and corn were sent from Fronfraith, Frongog, Troedrhiwywinau, and Dor- glwyd. The collections at all the services were for the curates' fund.

BARMOUTH. SHARP.—One of the applicants for the post of working foreman under the Council wrote "Please note that I am writing my application in my own handwriting." The Chairman thought it was funny. Mr G. Griffith, a Welsh resident of Sydney, Australia, and a native of Barmouth, spent the recent summer at his native place. He is one of the owners of the flourishing Katcombra Mineral Water Works of Melbourne and Sydney. These works were started by Welshmen, and the present owners and majority of the employees are of Welsh nationality. There are some hundreds of Welshmen in Sydney and neigh- bourhood, and the Presbyterians have placed one of their chapels at the service of the Welsh. The Sunday school is conducted in Welsh, and a Welsh sermon is delivered in the evening. Many Welsh people come considerable distance to the service, and Welsh sailors who visit the port are often seen among the congregation. Mr Griffith was mainly instrumental in founding the Welsh cause, and one of his chief objects in visiting his nat- ive land this summer was to secure a bi-lingual pastor to undertake the care of the church. He has suc- ceeded in this mission, the Rev. R. E. Davies, B. A. I Mold, having accepted the invitation, and he will shortly leave for Sydney. DISTRICT COUNCIL, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14TH. —Present: Messrs. B. J. Allsop (chairman), Evan Richards, D. E. Davies, H. Wynne Williams, R. Williams, Evan Jones, William Owen, Hugh Evans, Edward Evans, and William George (clerk), and Lloyd Jones (surveyor). APPOINTMENT OF WORKING FOREMAN. There were thirteen applications for the pcsition of working foreman as advertised by the Council. The following were h6 names and wages stated Edward Jones, Barmouth Junction, 30s Griffith Evans, Aelfron-terrace, 25s Evan Pugh, Coventry Cottage, 30s John Richards, plumber, 28s David Jcnes, St. George's- terrace, 25a J. Rotherwell, Porkington, L70 William Williams, Meirionfa, 27s; James Lewis, Waterloo- place, 30s; Griffith Roberts, St. Georges terrace, ESO: Owen Williams, Tai-isma. 30s Evan Williams, Eden House, 30s John Jones, Craig-y-don, 25s Griffith Griffiths, Tanyddinas, 30s.—The Chairman said be thought the Surveyor had better make the selection.—Mr Lloyd Jones, surveyor, said he pre- ferred leaving the matter in the hands of the Council as he was not acquainted with none of the applic- ants.—Mr Hugh Evans said his opinion was that they must have a young man. who was promising and willing to work.—Mr Evan Jones did not think it fair to speak like that when the names were before them.—After a vote, Mr Evan Williams was ap- pointed with a clear majority.—Mr D. E. Davies then said the Surveyor had acted wisely in leaving the appointment in the hands of the Council.—Tne Chairman thought that before finally approving, the Surveyor should have an interview with Mr Evan Williams.—Mr Evan Jones objected and said the Surveyor should take the man appointed by the Council. The Chairman Cer- tainly not. If after an interview with him, Mr Lloyd Jones, who was the absolute matter of the situation, found that Mr Evan Williams was in- capable, he would be perfectly right ia informing the Council. But he did not think they should anticipate any trouble.—Mr W. Owen said if they were not all satisfied, they should fall in with the majority.—Mr Hagh Evans said he did not object, and in doing so got on his feet.—Mr Wynne Williams: Are you the chairman ?—Mr Hugh Evans Yes, while I am on my feet.—Mr Evan Richards: These men don't know what they are doing. The point is this: if the Surveyor can do as he likes, what's the use of our voting.—Mr W. Owen We don't say so.—Mr Evan Richards asked if the Surveyor did not approve of Mr Evan Williams, was he at liberty to appoint any one of the applicants ?—The Chairman said in that case the question would be brought before the Council again. TRESPASS ON THE PARADE. Referring to the trespass on the Marine-parade, the Chairman said that it was the laughing stock of the United Kingdom, and visitors could not understand how it was allowed. He wanted to know what good that man (owner of the Pavilion) had done to the town ? There was no doubt that he had done great injury."—Mr Wynne Williams asked if the matter could be discussed in com mittee ?-The Chairman It is no uqe doing that. The whole thing would be known to the man in question within twenty minutes.— Mr Edward Williams We must have an open meeting.—The Clerk was then called on to explain the matter further. He said Mr David Davies had constantly been trespassing on the public rights in many ways. He had served several notices on him with the result that the nuisance had been abated for a short time but the nuisance would recur. What he advised was that a reliable report should be made by the Surveyor as to the state of things.— The Chairman Or acknowledge our hopeless imbecility.-On the motion of Mr Wynne Williams, it was agreed that the Surveyor should coasult the Clerk on the matter. THE TELEPHONB. Mr Owen Jones said that the kev Gwynoro Davies (chairman of the Council) had received two letters from Mr Denniss, general manager of the Cambrian Railways, with reference to the telephone system. He said that the earlier the guarantee was sealed, the sooner the Post Office would begin the work. He was certainly hopeful that if he had the guarantee shortly they should get the work completed before next summer, but he was anxi oui that all the documents should be in the hands of the Post Office people without any needless delay. The position of the call office could be allowed to stand over at present, but he thought it probabl e that the Postmaster General would arrange for it to be at the Post Office. They could ask him to stretch out the half-mile area for local subscribers. In another letter, Mr Dennisti stated that he had made a special point ab the interview with the Marquis of Londonderry that the coast-places should b included in one free exchange area. but his Lord- ship replied that this could not be done, though he subsequently agreed to Barmouth area in- eluding Dolgelley, Towyn, and Aberdovey. Mr Denniss also pressed him to reduc6 the term of guarantee from seven to three years, but he stated that the conditions were stereotyped and applied to all similar agreements. The authorities had no power to make any alteration in this instance. Mr Denniss pointed out that visitors could use the telephone without being subscribers. With regard to the grouping of towns, the Postmaster-General had agreed to the following arrangement:—Aber- ystwyth area: Aberystwyth Machynlleth- Barmouth, Dolgelley, Towyn, Aberdovey, aod Machynlleth.-The Chairman could not under- stand why they should deal at all with Mr Denniss, as they had nothing to do whatever with the Cambrian Railways.—Mr Owen Jones said he knew a resolution was passed at a public meeting in the town with regard to the guarantee, but no resolution had been received by the Council yet.—Mr Evan Richards proposed that they should postpone the sealing of the guarantee.—Mr W Owen seconded.—On a vote, however, it was decided to sign the guarantee at once, EX SURVEYOR'S ACCOUNTS. The Auditor (Mr Owen Jones) said that at the re- quest of theCouncil he had investigated the accounts of the ex-surveyor and made a report on the ques- tion. He had examined all the sheets carefully, and the corrections that had to be made were consider- able. In dealing with the work done on main roads he had allowed nothing to be charged to the main roads accounts unless it was clearly shown on the men's time sheets that the work had been done. When he found an entry that might or might not be applicable to the work done on main roads, he had been careful to allocate all such items towards other than main. Every item charged to the main roads in the monthly pay-sheets that should not have been entered he had struck out. The result was that the cost of manual labour charged to main* roads was f33 7s lid as against f30 11s 3d shown on the account condemnad by the district auditor. In the margin he had written the total costs of manual labour under various heads of expenditure. He was satisfied that the account might now be relied on as correct and thet it would bear the strictest scrutiny. He also reported that the collector's account was ready for audit, and pointed oub that the corrections in the Surveyor's account necessi- tated some alterations in the Clerk's ledgers, and a summary of the collector's account would have to be embodied. This would take some time, but he hoped it would be ready in a week. -The report was adopted. MINOR MATTERS. The Rev Gwynoro Davies wrote stating that Mr Greener was prepared to open a footpath between Hendremynach and the sea, if the Council would repair and maintain it. A bona fide gentleman bad asked him also if the recreation ground was for sale.-These matters were referred to the Surveyor.

MAENTWROG. LIGHTING SCHEME REJECTED.—Mr Pierce Jones, chairman of the Parish Council, presided over a well attended parish meeting on Saturday night, convened to consider the question of taking steps to light Maentwrog Isa and Gellilydan. Mr Thomas Jones proposed that the Parish Council should be authorised to take the necessary steps, Mr J. R. Jones (Gerallt) seconded and Messrs Thomas Roberts (Shop Isaf) and W. E. Jones, Bryntwrog supported. An amendment was proposed by Mr Ed. Evans that no action should be taken. This was seconded. On a division forty-two voted for the lighting proposal and forty against, but as a two-thirds majority was necessary the scheme falls through.

PWLLHELI. THE POBTH NEIGWL DISASTEB--Whilot out fishing in a boat by Pen-y-CH, Bardsey Island, about a fort- night ago,fmr Owen Williams, Penybryn, Aberdaron, and Mr H Griffith, Ty Mawr, Aberdaron, perceived a body floating on the surface of the water. After the body bad been dragged into the boat it was iden- tified as that of David Roberts, who was drowned while fishing at Porth Neigwl on the 11th ult. Roberts, who was a sailor, 32 years of age, lived at Salfyr, Rhiw, and had gone out fishing with two other men. He accidentally fell over the stern of the boat, and the sea being rough at the time, with a strong gale pre- vailing, Roberts was carried away, and dro am^d, At the inquest, held at Aberdaron, before Dr. Hughes, a verdict of accidentally drowned was returned. PERSONAL.—Mr Evan R. Davies has been elected a vice-president of the South Carnarvon Liberal Association. Mr Davies, who addressed a public meeting on the Education Bill at Portmadoc on Saturday night, also moved one of the drastic resolutions passed last Monday at the great demonstration against the Bill at Llandudno. PRESENTATION.—On Tuesday week, the members of the Salem Church presented Mr and Mrs Griffith Roberts, Maes, with an illu minated address, a hand- somely-bound hymn and tune boo", and a silver- mounted baton. Mr Roberts is a deacon at Sal-m Chapel and has also been conductor of the singing for 28 years, and Mrs Roberts has been acting for years in the capacity of organist. The address had been drawn out by Mr S. Maurice Jones, Carnarvon, and it contained the portrait of Mr and Mrs Roberts. Mr J. G. Jones presided on the occasion, and ad- dresser were delivered by the Revs J R Williams and J. Ellis. The address was read by Mr O. Robyns Owen and presented to Mr Roberts on behalf of the members of the church by Mr R. O. Jones, the old- est deacon. Mr Roberts suitably acknowledged on behalf of Mrs Roberts and himself. COUNTY SCHOOL.—On Wednesday week, a meeting of the local Governors of the Pwllheli County School was held, presided over by Mr D. H. Davies, R'Orsedd Fawr, in the absence of the Chairman (Mr Richard Roberts, Hope House). —An increased number of applications for bursaries were considered, which increase was due to the gratifying fact that the number of pupils attending this successfal school is going up by leaps and bounds, the present number attending being just one short of 100. The Gov- ernors had great difficulty in meeting the appli- cations as generously as they would desire in some cases and some applicants will possibly feel dis- appointed. The matter is becoming a serious one, and some members expressed the opinion that to some extent the grants must of necessity be modified. The fact of so many applying for aid and the difficulty of the Governors to obtain a true knowledge of the justice of their claims, tends to make the task of granting these bur- saries difficult in the extreme.—Mrs George F. Yale attended for the first time as a co-optative governor and was heartily welcomed. Being interested in educational work herself as well as being the daughter of Mr Henry Lewis, mayor of Bangor, who is an ardent educationist, her services "on this local Governing Body will be .0 appreciated.—References were made to the rather slow progress that is being made at present with the new school buildings, which under the contract were to be completed by the end of Sep- tember, and the Clerk'was requested to call the attention of the contractors to the terms of the contract and that the Governors would have a great aversion to inflict the penalties to which they were rendering themselves liable.—The consideration of the report of the Central Welsh Board was deferred until the next meeting.— Owing to the large number of pupils at school, it has been found necessary to remove the wood- working class to another place, and a deputation was appointed to approach the Town Council with the view of securing the Old Town Hall for this purpose until the new premises are com- pleted.

TALGARREG. SOUTH AFRICA.—Mr James Lloyd, son of Mrs Lloyd) Moelifor, has safely returned to South Africa, and has already commenced duties as Secretary of an institution in Port Albert. HARVEST.—Harvesting operations are now over in this distriot. The last mows have been carted into the stackyard, and arrangements are being made for the thanksgiving services at which well- known and popular preachers are announced take part. HEROs.-Some very fine herons have lately been seen almost daily strutting along the river banks. A little boy, the son of Mr Evam the Post Office, coming suddenly upon one entangled in a bucket by the riverside, grasped it by its long neck, and a struggle ensued in which both the boy and the bird rolled over. The bird. however, made its escape. It is a popular saying that when herons frequent the higher streams, rain is eminent. CLUB.—Now that the long winter evenings are coming on, people will have more leisure for read- ing. A magazine club has been formed in con- nection with the Unitarian Chapel at Bwlchyfedfa, with the object of obtaining magazines which will be sent round the members in rotation. The idea, which is a very worthy one, was first broached by the Rev E 0 Jenkins, the minister.

FOOTBALL. ABERYSTWYTH v. CHIRK. The first match of the season between Aber- ystwyth and Chirk was played on the Llan- badarn-road ground on Saturday afternoon. There was a fairly good attendance, and the weather was all that could be desired. The teams were:— Aberystwyth—Goal, D. W. Morgan; half- backs, J. Rowlands and O. Green three- quarters, G. Green, G. Barson, and W. Bevan forwards, T. Rees, Ivor Evans, A Jenkins, E. Evans, and O. Jones. Chirk.—Goal, E. O. Jones half-backs, W. Mullershi and T. Powell; three-quarters, W. Nigns, R. E. Edwards, and J. Mullersbip for- wards, A. Lockley, E. Roberts, W. Morgan, T. Harris, and R. Cooper. Referee-Ur R. A. James, Borth. Aberystwyth kicked off and on the outset had the best of matters, the ball being carried within a few yards of the visitors' goal. The latter, however, got possession and changed the venue. After some exchanges, Chirk made an- other rush, but the home custodian saved in time by kicking into touch. The homesters attacked vigorously, and Teddy kicked into goal easily. Chirk were then on the aggressive, Dut Rowlands, who showed himself to be a clever player, kicked splendidly and saved the situa- tion. This enabled the homesters to come dangerously near the visitors' line, and from a corner kick James secured another goal. The homesters had several more opportunities and just before the interval Jenkins scored again, but the goal was disallowed by the Referee. OD re- sumption, Chirk renewed their vigour and made another attack, but were repulsed. Before the end, Ivor Evans, Jenkins, and Green scored three more goals. FINAL SCORE. Aberystwyth 5 goals Chirk ••• nil I

A friend of mine, who is rather in a big way of business connected with the Liverpool Stock Exchange, is a martyr at times to Lumbago and some time back I sent him some of the Oil and he derived so much benefit from the use of the same that he has written to me for the maker's address so that he can procure a bottle immediately. I enclose my friend's address and should feel obliged if you would send a bottle by first post. It does not matter if the bottle be double the size and double the price If you en- close a bill to cover all expense with the bottle, you will receive the cash per next post.
