CARNARVON. F < THE DEPRESSION IX THE SLATE TItADE.-At' a meeting of the executive committee of the North Wales Quarrymen's Union, held in this town on Saturday last, it was resolved that the proposals for a reduction in the prices of bargains noticed at the Peiu-hyu aud Llauberis quarries should, in the opinion of the union, befavourably entertained by the men, owing to the dulness of trade. No strike was anticipated At either quarry, although there is an inclination in favour of a reduction of the hours of labour instead of the wages, NORTH WALKS CHALLENGE Cup.-The first ties for the North Wales Challenge Cup were played at Carnarvon on Saturday, between the Carnarvon and Bangor clubs. Up to half-time the. play was fairly balanced, Bangor claiming a disputed goal. After half-time the Bangor team, which has lost many members who were prominent in contributing towards the club's successes, of last year, had much the best of the game/the batt' being-almost con- tinually at the Carnarvon goal. The Bangor team won by a goal to nothing (exclusive of the disputed goal), kicked by Mulpeters. Through no fault of the Carnarvon men, there was a very disorderly throng on the field; and one of the Bangorians carried home with him and unpleas- ant reminiscenc3 of the Carnarvon sport in the form of a black eye, the result of a blow by a spectator, of whom more will, it is said, be heard through the medium of the police-court reports. Robert Williams, to whom the. foregoing remarks have reference, showed himself a thoroughly good all-round man; Rathborne, Jones, Mulpeters, Lewis, and Turner, doing good service for their side; whilst the play of Chambers, Newton Boucher, and the Carnarvon goalkeeper should not pass unnoticed. The teams were-Camarvon J. Carrol, goal; G. F. Bugbird Hughes, backs; S. Pierce, G. Chambers, half-backs; W. Morgan, J. Edwards, right wing; B. Soames,, B. Newton, left wing; H. Bescoby, C. P. Boucher (captain), centre. r, Ba:lgor: J. Turner, goal; J. F. Williams, Robert Williams, lialf-back; Rath- borne, jun., T. C. Lewis, right wing; Mulpeter, R. Williamst, left wing; Rathborne, sen., Dr ^°THE CARNARVON COCOA ROOMS.—A pubflc meeting in support of the above mofement was held at the Guild Hall, on Monday night, October 28th, under the presidency of Canon Evans, D.D., vicar, when there were present on the platform the Rev.

Williams, druggist; Richard Aylmer, Edward Hughes, ironmonger; Hugh Humphres, Hendre- gaerog; John Davies, District Bank; W. J. Wil- liams, North-road. The body of the hall was -pretty well filled, mostly of the working class. After an able and eloquent opening speech by the chairman he called upon Mr John Davies to pro- pose the first resolution, which was as follows. "That this meeting rejoices in the fact that a number of public houses are to be established at different parts of the town, in which there will be welcome to all, men and women, to rest, to tran- sact business, &c., and where refreshments can be had at low rates, but no intoxicating drinks." It was seconded by Mr W. P. Williams, and carried unanimously.—Mr Hugh Humphreys proposed the xext resolution, which was seconded by the Rev Evan Roberts:—"That this meeting much ap- proves of the main object of the formation of the company, that is, improving the morals of the town and the position of the working man, and pledges itself to support the movement in every respect."—Capt G. B. Thomas, in proposing the third resolution, recited in a capital stvle 1, Buy your own Goose (J. W. Kirkton). The resolu- tion was as follows :—"That this meeting believes it to be a duty ou the part of the gentry and tradesmen of the town to further the movement, and expresses a hope that the shares may be taken up without delay, and measures taken to induce workmen generally to take an interest in the matter." This was seconded by Mr Richard Aylmer, and carried.—Mr John Edmunds then read the list of those that have taken shares already, and also the names of those gentlemen that have volunteered to canvass the town for shareholders.

SUNDAY SCHOOL TREAT AND FESTIVAL AT CARNARVON. Several months ago the Mayor of Carnarvon (Mr Hugh Pugh) promised to 'entertain the whole of the Sunday School Scholars of the borough, to- gether with the aged poor, at tea in the Pavilion, and it is gratifying to announce that the praise- worthy movement came to a successful issue this week. A committee consisting of the leading inhabitants of the town, as well as the Sunday School superintendents, secretaries, &c., was formed, and presided over by Capt. Clayton, the duties of secretary being carried out by Mr T.Tho- mas, South-road. A ladies' committee was also formed and the undertaking was carriers out with commendabia effort. Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesdays were the days fixed for the celebra- tion of the tleat and festivals, and the committee wisely decided to hold a monster Sunday School demonstration in the Pavilion on the Rrst mentioned day. All the Sunday School Scholars of the town, attended by the superintendents, teachers and others, marched in procession on Sunday to the Pavilion, which was densely crowded. It is roughly estimated that about three thousand children and two thousand adults were present on the occasion. On the platform we noticed the M.iyor, together with Mr Hugh Owen, London, and the leading inhabitants of the town. The Rev Canon Evans, D.D., presided over the meeting, which was opened with prayer by the Rev Francis Jones, Waenfawr. An interesting address to the children was delivered by Mr Arrowsmith, London, and the Rev J. A. Roberts, B D delivered a speech to the teachers, in which he referred to the nature of the education to be imparted by them in the Sunday Schools. Several revival hvmns were sung during the course of the proceedings under the conductorship of Mr Jones, master of the National School, and Mr William Griffith Pool-street. Mdlle Sable. M* J. Wil- liams, and Mr J. H. Roberts acted as accompanists on the occasion.. Tuesday will long be remembered by the youth- ful portion of the Sunday School Scholars, as the treat. to which they were entertained was of an excellent character. The spacious building was urofp-elv decorated with flags and appropriate mottoes Tie tables were superintended by the following ladies, who were assisted by a number of very active attendants :—Table No. 1—Mrs Herber Evans, Belmont House, and friend; Mrs 'Pugh.

The lady superintendents were Mrs Pritchard, North-road; Miss Rees, Castle-street; Mrs James Evans, North- road Mrs Thomas, The Cliff; Mrs Roberts, and Miss Kate Rees, Mrs William Griffith, Pool. street; Mrs W. Williams, do.; Mrs Pugh, Llysmeirion, and Miss Pugh, acted as overseers, the whole pro- ceedings being generally superintended over by Capt Clayton and Mr T. D. Lloyd, Castle-square. In the evening a meeting of a miscellaneous character was held, under the presidency of Mr Hugh Owen, London. Mr W. Cadwaladr Davies, Bangor, acted as conductor. The most interesting feature of the proceedings was the vocalisation of Mr and Mrs Davis, of the Wilmington Jubilee Singers, both of whom were cordially received. Excellent addresses on Sunday School work were delivered by the Revs E. Herber Evans, W. Potts, Canon Evans, D.D., and O. Davies. A large number of the adults, members of the respective Sunday Schools in the borough, sat down to an excellent tea on Wednesday, when the proceedings were brought to a successful issue. The evening meeting was presided over by Capt Verney, R.N., conducted by Mr W. C. Davies, Bangor. The Chairman delivered an excellent address on education in its various aspects, which was followed by the presentation of an address from the Royal Humane Society to Mr Griffith Edwards, jun., Balaclava-road, for having saved the life of a young boy who had fallen into the sea on the 21st June last. The presentation was made, amid loud cheers, by Mrs Verney. Capt. Clayton, the chairman of the committee, then came forward to read and present a beautifully illuminated address to the Mayor. In alluding to the presentation, Captain Clayton said he was requested, on behalf of the Sunday Schools of the town, to read an address carrying to his Worship the Mayor the grateful thanks of the schools for the kind and liberal manner in which he had been good euough to entertain them. He explained that although signed by the superintendents only, it embodied the exact feel- ings of the schools, both scholars, teachers, and superintendents. He added that possibly there might be some present who did not fully under- stand the English language, and to meet such, a Welsh translation had been prepared and would be read to them. Captain Clayton then proceeded to read the address as follows:- To His Worship the Mayor of Carnarvon, Hugh Pugh, Esquire, of Llysmeirion, Upon the occasion of his treating the whole of the Sabbath Schools and the aged poor of the town of Carnarvon (upwards of 4000 in number) at the Pavilion, on Tuesday and Wednesday, October 29th and 30th, 1878. ESTEEMED FRIEND,—We, the undersigned repre- sentatives of the various Sunday Schools in the town of Carnarvon, beg your Worship's acceptance of this token of our appreciation of the favour and benefit you have upon this occasion bestowed upSu our schools by the kindly interest you have taken in, and the encouragement you have afforded to them. torpret your favour as a reward of virtue, membership in the Sunday School (the institution most blessed of God) constituting the claim to your Worship's favour. Your action, we feel convinced, will stimulate greater energy and zeal on the part of teachers and officers, increase the attachment of the children to the schools, afford a favourable op- portunity for much desired intercourse and co- operation apiongst the various schools, as well as that it supplies a demonstration that must have a good effect upon those who hitherto have not rrali«ed the magnitude of the Sunday School work. We heartily congratulate you upon the success of your present effort, and thankfully acknowledge your zealous devotion as a laborious worker in this branch of God's vineyard since your residence in our town, and we further desire to compliment you upon the honourable manner in which you are enabled to retire from the two successive years of mayoralty in the ancient borough of Carnarvon. Praying your life may long be spared and the favour of Almighty God be continued to yourself and family, We remain, esteemed sir, your worship's obedient servants, Lewis Lewis, James M. Clay- ton, William Griffith, John David Llovd, John Hugh Jones, Joseph Roberts, John Edmunds, Evan Hughes, Richard Green, Robert Williams, Samuel Evans, Griffith R. Griffiths, Robert Price, Owen Jones, R. R. Williams, William Williams, William Parry, Cadwaladr Williams, Thomas Thomas, hon. seG." In presenting the address to his Worship, Capt. Clayton said: Mr Mayor,—In the name of the Sunday Schools of this town, and with the kind permission of our respected chairman, Captain Verney, I have very much pleasure in presenting to your worship the address which you have now heard read, and to express a fervent hope for your happiness in this life and the world to come (loud applause). The Mayor said that he felt greatly obliged to all for the handsome presentation which had been made to him. He was highly gratified with the present proceedings, but he felt that the issue I would not have been so successful had it not been or the efforts of the ladies' and gentlemen's com- t nittees, to the members of which he desired to re- turn his warmest thanks. He hoped that the pre- ;ent movement would be the means of eliciting a warmer interest in Sunday School work, and, as bhe chairman had said, he hoped it would also be the means of securing for the town a Sunday School Union, from which beneficial results would nndoubtedly accrue (applause). The Mayor con- cluded his remarks by calling for three cheers for the committees, which appeal was heartily re- sponded to. At the request of the Chairman three eheers were also accorded to Mrs Pugh, and suitably acknowledged by the Mayor. On the motion of the Mayor, seconded by Mr John Thomas, Market-street, a hearty vote of thanks was passed to Capt Verney for presiding, and to Mrs Verney for her presence at the meet- ing. During the proceedings the Jubilee Singers, to- gether with the Carnarvon Choral Union, rendered several musical pieces in a creditable manner.

COUNTY MAGISTRATES' COURT, SATURDAY. —Before Mr E. G. Powell (in the chair), Mr J. D. Whitehead, and Captain J. G. Wynn Grif- fith. Drunkenness.—John Roberts, Llanberis, for being drunk on the 11th ult., was fined 2s 6d and costs; and for committing a similar offence Wm. Griffith, Llandwrog, was ordered te pay 13s 6d including costs. Richard Jones, tailor, Clynog, did n..t ap- pear to answer a summons charging him with being guilty Qf drunkenness and riotous conduct, and a warrant was therefore issued for his appre- hension. Trespassing in Pursuit of Game.-Edward Hughes and Robert Hughes, quarrymen, Llanddeiniolen, were charged with trespassing in pursuit of game on lands belonging to Capt. Wynn Griffith, Llan- fair Hall. Mr Allanson prosecuted. Evidence was given by Mr Salvage, Capt. Griffith's game- keeper, to the effect that he saw both defendants on Sunday, the 13th ult., beating for game on lands belonging to his employer. They had a trap in their possession. Capt. Griffith retired from the bench during the hearing of this case. Edward Hughes, who was drunk and unruly in court, was fined L2 including costs, and a fine of 10s and costs was imposed on Robert Hughes. BOROUGH MAGISTRATES' COURT, MONDAY. -Before the Mayor (Mr Pugh) and Mr G. R. Rees.

A Drunken Carrier.—Owen Griffith, carrier, Clynog, was again summoned for being drunk whilst in charge of a horse and cart. Deputy Chief Constable Prothero informed the bench that the defendant had been fined on several nrevious occasions for drunkenness, and that the police were continually getting a deal of trouble with him, on account of his drunken habits. The de- fendant promised to abstain from intoxicating driaks in future; and in the hope that he would reform the bench onlv fined him 5s and costs. The Mayor, however, informed him that he would be sent to prison, without the option of a fine, for future offences. BOARD OF GUARDIANS, SATURDAY.—Present: Messrs Robert Jones (chairman), Hugh Thomas and John Thomas (vice-chairmen), Thomas Hughes, William Jones (Clynog), John Griffith, John Jones (Carnarvon), John Fraser, Evan Hugh Owen, John Lloyd.

In- mates, 74; corresponding week last year, 78. Tramps for the fortnight, 41. The Lunatic Catherine Jones, Llwydcoed mawr.- The Hon. Douglas Pennant, M.P., wrote to say that absence from home had caused d3lay in the receipt of the memorial with reference to the re- moval of the lunatic Catherine Jones, convicted at the last assizes for the murder of her child, from Broadmoor Asylum, and stating that he had for- warded it to the Home Secretary with a strong recommendation in its favour. The late Hon. T. J. Wynn.—The Clerk read the following letter which he bad received:—" Knol- tori, Ruabon: —Mrs Wynn begs to acknowledge, with thanks, to the board of guardians, the receipt of a copy of a resolution passed by them, and for- warded to her, on the 27th Sept.—Mr J. H. THOMAS." The Complaint by the Pwllheli Union.—The Clerk informed the board that he had received no reply from the Pwllheli Union with reference to the ex- planation made by Mr Hughes, the Llandwrog re- lieving officer, as to the charge of neglect preferred against him by that union. The guardians strongly condemned the conduct of the Pwllheli authorities for the manner in which they treated them. The Llanidan District Medical Officer and He Pauperll. -At the previous meeting of the board a resolution was adopted in favour of making enquiries into the alleged complaints with reference to the removal of Dr. O. Elias Owen, the Llanidan district medical officer, from the district to reside at Llangefni, and also requesting that gentleman to attend the pre- sent meeting. The Clerk explained the matter by stating that a Newborough ratepayer named John Jones had addressed a communication to the Local Government Board asking whetber it was legal for 11 z, a medical officer to reside out of his district, add- ing that Dr. Owen was doing so to the neglect of the poor. A copy of this letter was forwarded to Dr. Owen, who replied stating that he had a room and surgery iu the house of Mr Griffith, Ty coch, and that he very often resided there. His assist- ant also lived there, and he (Dr. Owen) visited the district regularly. He admitted having taken a house in Llangefni, but this step had not in any way broken his connection with the district, the paupers in which were not neglected, but were treated as before.—The Chairman having made a few introductory remarks, requested the guardians to state their respective opinions with reference to the matter.—Mr Hugh Thomas expressed a hope that those guardians who had made enquiries into the complaints would state their mind fearlessly and openly.—Mr Fraser remarked that personally he had nothing whatever to say against Dr. Owen. but he had heard several of the Anglesey guardians as well as ratepayers somplaining about his change of residence. They ought to know how matters stood, and if everything was all right, as Dr. Owen wished them to understand, why were these com- plaints made? He (Mr Fraser) objected to the principle of the thing, and he did not consider it right that Dr. Owen should be allowed to hold a district and reside at a great distance out of it. He called the attention of the guardians to the excellent letters which had appeared in the Genedl and Express with reference to the most populous neighbourhoods withiu the district, and which showed that Dr. Owen now resided in a place which was a mile and a half from the most un- populous part of the district. The medical officer had evidently changed his residence for the sake of benefitting himself. He (Mr Fraser) considered it would be a great hardship on the part of the guardians to allow the paupers residing in New- borough, Dwyran and Brynsiencyn to travel to Llangefni in search of Dr. Owen, who ought to re- side within the district. The guardians had ap- pointed him and not his assistant as the district medical officer of health.—Mr Hugh Thomas Has Dr. Owen a district in Llangefni under his charge? —Mr Fraser: 1 think he has.—The Clerk: No, he has not.—Mr Thomas said that Dr. Owen kept an assistant.-The Clerk remarked that the board had appointed th it gentleman as Drt Owen's substitute. —Mr G. R. Jones said that he held Dr. Owen in the highest esteem, but he (Mr Jones) was adverse to the system adopted by the board. It was stated in the district that Dr. Owen was tired of the office, and that this was the cause of the feeling- that he had given a price on the place, and had failed to carry out his object. With reference to the medical assistant he desired to mention the following occurrence: -On one occasion the sick paupers of Newborough paid a person for going to Brynsiencyn for their medicine. In returning home the bottles, numbering six or nine, were broken, and the man returned to Brynsiencyn, but Dr. Owen's assistant refused to give him another supply of medicine, and the paupers, consequently, were obliged to wait another week.—He (Mr Jones) did not think that Dr Owen would have done such a think as that.—Mr Fraser: How maay paupers were that week compelled to be without medicine ?—Mr Jones Six or nine.-I am not certain.-The Chairman: That is one complaint. -The Clerk: Is Mr Jones able to prove it ?—Mr Jones Well, I am able to state what the person who fetched the medicine told me.—Messrs Hugh Williams, Thomas Jones, and Robert Williams, the Anglesey Guardians, said that there was no illfeeliug against Dr Owen in the neighbourhood, but the paupers did not like the assistant. As he did not understand Welsh thoroughly.— Mr Themas Jones advocated the desirabillty of allowing Dr. Owen a twelve month's trial; the board would then be in a position to see whether any paupers were really neglected.—Mr John Thomas desired to be informed about the "rumoured speculations" and "merchandise" which had been referred to in connection with Dr. Owen's office.—Mr Elias Jones: The transfer of the district could not be made without the board's approval. We are to decide the matter.—Mr Fraser We have only two complaints against Dr. Owen, viz., his absence from the district—is that legal or not?—and the general complaints because of his absence.—Mr Hugh Thomas What is the "merchandise and selling?"—Mr Fraser: I did not say anything about that.-Ur Thomas Yes, you did. Did you not compare Dr. Owen's change of residence with holding more than one farm ? Say that in his face.—Mr Fraser said that Dr. Owen resided at Llangefni and held on the district through an assistant. The principle of this is similar to holding more than one farm.-The Chairman: But Dr. Owen received the board's permission to engage a substitute.—Mr Hugh Thomas thought that the assistant's refusal to give the bottles ought to be one complaint. With reference to "merchandising" on the district, he desired to know who said that this was being done? How could the board ask Dr. Owen a question unless it could be proved.—Those persons who had referred to the matter ought to stand to what they had said, and speak in Dr. Owen's face.—Mr Hugh Williams I heard someone saying that Dr. Owen had offered the place for £ 500.—Mr Thomas: Will you repeat that assertion ?—Mr Williams I will stand to what I have heard.—Mr Thomas: That won't do. We don't want persons to repeat what they have "heard," unless they have any foundation for the same. Let everybody state in Dr. Owen's face what they say behind his back. I always expect them to do so.—Mr Fraser said what other people expected him to say. He asked whether Mr Thomas thought it was out of ill- feeling that he spoke in the manner he did ?—Mr Thomas: It appears so.—Mr Fraser: There is no need for you to counsel here.—Mr Thomas But why do you, having no connection whatever with the district, undertake the work of counsellering on behalf of the Anglesey guardians?—Mr Fraser: Oh, I only stand to principle.—Capt. Owen: I think you are the dictator. Whv is not Dr. Owen called in to speak for himself.'—Dr. Owen was then called in, and in reply to the Chairman, he said that he knew nothing whatever about the affair respecting the broken medicine bottles. He de- sired to know who had brought the matter forward?—Mr G. R. Jones: I mentioned it. I do not rightly remember the number of bottles which were broken. The accident occurred near Mr Morgan's residence. The bearer returned with the fragments to the medical assistant, who refused to furnish him with an additional supply, saying that the paupers would have to remain without medicine that week. He however sent a box of pills to one pauper.-Dr Owen: When did this occur?—Mr G. R. Jones: I am not very certain as to the date -about three weeks or a month ago, perhaps.-Dr Owen Who T carried the bottles ?—Mr Jones: Mr Saunder&' son, or John.-Dr Owen complained that any guardian should make such charges without bringing wit- nesses in support of the same.—Mr Jones said that he had made no complaint against Dr Owen; he only mentioned the natter to the board in order to elicit an explanation.—Dr Owen: Then you don't bring it forward as a complaint against me ? -Mr Jones: No.—Dr Owen said that he was per- fectly willing to answer any charges provided that they gave him time, and he strongly hoped that those persons who had said anything against him would bring their witnesses forward. Replying to several questions, Dr Owen positively denied that he intended retiring from the office. He resided both at Llangefni and Llanidun, and kept an assistant, possessing as high a qualification as any medical gentleman in the union, in the latter place. The paupers were not obliged to go to Llangefni in search of him (Dr Owen). All they had to do was to leave a message at Ty-coch, and the assis- tant residing there would send for him.-The Chairman: It was mentioned in the meeting that the assistant did not understand Welsh thoroughly. -Dr Owen That might nave been so at first, but I don't think that there is any difficulty in that directicn now. I believe that this is all a made-up affair against me—a trumped-up case.—Mr Eraser But why should it be a ma e-up thing?—Dr Owen: That is a —Mr Daniel Thomas I don't think it necessary that Dr Owen should be obliged to answer such a question.—Mr Fraser; But Jie ought to answer it.—The Chairman remarked that all the complaints were falling to the ground.-In reply to other questions Dr Owen said that he would pay the greatest attention to the district, and expressed his readiness to do anything required of him by the board. He considered himself responsible for the duties performed by his assistant.-On the motion of Captain Richard Owen, seconded by Mr E. Griffith, the board accepted the letter tent by Dr Owen, and read at the previous board, as an ex- planation, and fully exonerated him from any amble.

RUTHIN. A FOOTBALL MATCH was played on Saturday last between Ruthin and Corwen upon the ground of the former. The Ruthinites, however, proved too strong for their opponents, and managed to secure three goals and three "tries" against nothing on the other side. For Ruthin Messrs. W. H. Roberts, S. G. Ellis, G. G. Ellis, Robert Jenkins, and J. Roberts played, remarkably well, and for Corwen Messrs. Evans and Price did some good kicking.
