EASTER VESTRY AT CARNARVON.-The Easter vestrv was held on Tuesday at Llanbeblig Parish Church. The vicar (the Rev J. W. Wynne J ones), who presided, nominated as his warden Mr Richard Thomas, the choice of the parishioners falling upon Mr Morgan Lloyd (MnesjnclaX who was the vicar's warden last year. Mr G. IL Rees called attention to the composition of the school qoard, and urged that in future the e presentation shouldbouponpublicand notsectariangrounds. For some years past the unsatisfactory practice had been in selecting so many members from each denomination or chapet, instead of making a selection from the general body of ratepayers and nicking out the best-men.

ALLEGED EMBEZZLEMENTS BY A BANGOR AUCTIONEER'S CLERK. At an adjourned meeting of the Bangor Petty Sessions held on Wednesday, before the Mayor (alderman Thomas Lewis), in the chair, Alder- man Richards, and Dr Hughes, the head clerk of tue firm of Messrs W. Dew, & Son, auctioneers and valuers, viz., R. P. Evans, was charged with felon- iously and fraudulently embezzling the sum of X-50 on the 12th of June, 1885, of £ 70 on the 29th June, 1885, £ 16 Is on the 16th September,1885, £ 12 13s on the 7th October, 1885, about November, 1885, 140; on the 4th December, 188o, £19 10s, on the 11th December, 1885, £10; 18th December, 1885, £ 41 5s, amounting in all to the sum of £ 264 9s 6d, monies delivered to him for, or on account, or in the names of William Dew and Son, his said em- ployers. Mr E. H. Lloyd, instructed by Mr S. R. Dew, appeared to prosecute, and Mr Malcolm Douglas, instructed by Mr John B. Roberts, M.P., was for the prisoner. Mr E. H. Lloyd, in opening the case for the prosecution, said he appeared to prosecute Robert Pugh Evans, who for some eighteen or nineteen years had been employed as clerk to the well- known firm of Messrs Dew and Son. He need scarcely say that a man who had been employed that time by a firm had been trusted and had every confidence placed in him, such as was placed in no other man, and it was a little sad to see after such long service the advantage the prisoner had taken of the confidence placed in him which he should be able to show. There were eight specific charges. In the prisoner's posi- tion as a clerk, it was his duty amongst other things when money was received by him on behalf of the firm to pay it to the book keeper or cashier of the firm, and receive from him a receipt. The cashier would pay it into the bank. The first charge was that on the 12th June, when £ 50 was paid to the prisoner, but for which he never ac- counted. When spoken to by Mr Dew, the pris- oner Evans said he knew nothing about the money. After further inquiries about the amount, Evans admitted that he had received the amount, and said he would pay it in, borrowing it from his sister. The money, however, was not paid. With regard to the second charge of embezzling £ 70, this was an amount received by Evans from Mr Hugh S. Thomas. When spoken to about this amount by Mr Dew, Evans said, Oh, I have seen Thomas, and he says he will pay the money next Friday." Evans had received this money nine months before, and given a receipt for it. The 116 item was part of the rent received by Evans from Hugh Williams, and when the cashier was sending in the account, Evans asked him to tear up the letter. The X19 item was similar, and the S12 13s 6d was money received from Captain John Jones, for the purchase of a horse. When the claim was sent in against Captain Jones, the prisoner sent a telegram to Captain Jones asking him to take no notice of the account as there was some mistake. This was one of the most direct cases. The charge of £ 40 on Novem- ber 12th was a specimen of prisoner's craft. On November 12th, Mr Hugh S. Thomas was indebted to Messrs Dew and Son for certain rent of a farm to the amount of £ 49 10s, S5 of which was paid as a deposit at the time, and later on, the remainder was paid to Evans, and a receipt was given. Evans then induced the book-keeper to enter an item of JE40 on the books, but this was for a further sum that had been received, and of which proofs would be forthcoming. As to the £15 on December 11th, Evans admitted the receipt of this, whilst the last charge of embezzling £41 os on the 8th November, was money Evans had received from a buyer of some stock. After deal- ing with these facts, he would ask that the prisoner be committed to the assizes. Mr W. A. Dew stated that he was the surviving partner in the firm pf Messrs Dew and Son. The prisoner had been in the firm's employ for many years,and was in their employ during 1885. He (the prisoner) was employed principally as sales clerk, and had authority to receive money, which he should pay in to the cashier. The cashier in 1885 was John Evans. A receipt would be received by the prisoner from the cashier. Prisoner was paid weekly for his services. Witness had been through his books and found there was due to him in June, 1885, from J. R. Jones, the sum of X,50 as rent of Graiglwyd farm. On June 30th, 1885, there was due the sum of £ 70 from Hugh Shadrach Thomas. There was due on September 16th, the sum of £30 from Hugh Williams, for rent. On October 7th, 1885, there was due X12 13s 6d from Capt. John Jones, Pwll- heli. On November 12th, 1885, the sum of S40 was due from Hugh S. Thomas, as balance of rent. On December 11th, the sum of Y,20 was due from John Thomas, as the price of a pony. On December 18th, a sum of X41 5s was due from Mr Evan Roberts, a butcher, of Old Colwyn. In Match of the present year, witness saw Evans in the beginning of the month. He saw Evans on the 3rd, and the Graiglwyd rent was discussed. Witness asked prisoner if he had received the rent, and he replied that he knew nothing about it. Upon that witness sent his clerk to Graiglwyd to make in- quiries. Upon the clerk's return, witness saw Evans again the next morning, and told him what Speed, the clerk, had discovered, viz, that the clerk had seen the receipt for rent signed by the prisoner. He (the prisoner) said he could not understand it, and would see the money was paid. He also said he would go up and see his sister about getting the X50 paid. Witness afterwards asked if the money had been paid in, and the prisoner Evans said it had not. He added that he had seen his sister, who would take steps to call in a mortgage to pay it with. On the 9th March, as witness was leaving for London, he again asked if the rent had been paid, and pri- soner again said it was not, but that it would be paid before witness returned from London. The money had never been paid to witness's know- ledge. With regard to the £7Q due from Hugh S. Thomas, witness had written for the amount, and afterwards saw the prisoner, who came in to the office, and after being there some little time said he had seen Mr Thomas, who had promised to pay the money owing by him on the Friday fol- lowing. As to the £ 12 13s 6d from Capt. John Jones, a letter was sent to Mr Jones concerning it. The telegram produced was in the prisoner's hand-writing. The telegram was sent without witness's authority or knowledge. There was no copy of that telegram in the letter book. Witness was present at the Madryn stock sale on the 2nd December, 1885. Messrs Edward Owen and Sons, butchers, Llandudno, were purchasers to the ex- tent of X47. With regard to all the sums in the information none of them had been received by witness personally. Cross-examined by Mr Douglas I joined the firm about 15 years ago. Prior to that I had been in the office, but cannot say. how long I was not there I think when the prisoner entered my father's service. I think I was at school then. I do not know whether Mr Humbleby was first in my father's service or Mr Evans. Humbleby left about ten or eleven years ago. He left before I joined the firm. A clerk named D. F. Williams succeeded Humbleby, and he was there when I joined the firm. He continued in the service till about October 1881. I managed the business at Rhyl and Denbigh for a time. There was a clerk named John Evans at Rhyl. When Williams left, John E/ans came to Bangor. At the same time a clerk named Speed entered the firm's employ at Bangor, and a man named A. Rowlands went to Rhyl. I do not remember that about the time I was made a partner the prisoner was .receiving £180 a year, but that was what he was receiving up till the time he left. Prisoner left my service about the ltfth March. I did not dismiss the prisoner from my employ as he absented himself. My brother did not tell me that one of the terms the prisoner insisted upon was that he should return to Wellfield as before. I did not know he could insist upon anything. I antf the prisoner and Mr Charles Pierce met in order to go into the accounts. The promissory notes produced were signed after the settlement of the accounts was come to. The three notes are dated the 22nd January and are for £100 each. Each note is signed by five people. The persons sign- ing are the prisoner, his brother, his brother-in- law, his sister and another. The firm held a sale at the Crown Hotel, Pwllheli. It was a horse sale in October. The sale lasted for a day. In May, 1885, there was a furniture sale at the same place for four days. There were two clerks at, that sale, which was unusual. The duty of the clerk was to enter the names of the purchasers against each lot together with the price. I have a book similarly prepared in which I check the prices. I want to explain that my book might be quite wrong in the hurry of selling and entering, andisonly used in case of dispute. At the saleof fur- niture at Pwllheli I found fault with the prisoner and I believe with the other clerk. There was an item in the ledger as owing by a Richard Roberts, Pwllheli, which was disputed. Applications had been made for the money and no replies received. About January of the present year I had my doubts as to the amount being a valid item. The clerk admitted that it was a ficticious entry. In the Mostyn Hall sale the prisoner clerked the sale, and there was a dispute concerning S20. I wrote Mr Evans asking him to meet me and Mr Pierce as arranged. The object of the meeting was to give the prisoner an opportunity of -seeing the accounts and hearing what he had to say. I had my uncle present to give me advice, and the meet- ing lasted two or three hours. At the meeting the prisoner gave me to understand that certain sums had been received, and not paid over. Mr Evans did not admit that he had retained the money for his own use, but said he did not know what had become of it. I said that if he could not prove what had become of it, he would have to be responsible for it, or something to that effect. He (prisoner) paid the Sloo left him under the late Mr Dew's will, and also gave the promissory notes produced. The prisoner asked me for time for giving the promissory notes, and I gave it riim. I also retained him in my service, in fact did everything he asked me. In the items you have just mentioned, Mr Evans was open and candid with me, but in the items with which I charge him, he tried to conceal them from me. I had discovered other items and a meeting of the sure- ties with Mr Evans was held. The sureties then said they would not become surety to a larger amount until the full extent of the liability was ascertained. Action was then taken for ascertaining the full amount. When I met the prisoner's son he was very impertinent to me, and I declined to see him again. When I forgave him the first amounts, and took promissory notes, I told the prisoner that I would prosecute him on the first sovereign I found wrong. When I found a further sum of £50 not accounted for I still kept him in my employ as I had not made up my mind what to do. Later prisoner came to me and asked what terms I had to offer. I said, as he was the man who was short in the money, and as he had committed the offence, that if terms at all were proposed he should have thought that it would have been his place to propose them. The case was then adjourned till May 25th.

BANGOR AND BEAUMARIS BOARD OF GUARDIANS. ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN. The first meeting of the newly elected Bangor and Beaumaris Board of Guardians, was held on Wednesday, when there were present, Mr Hugh Thomas, Beaumaris (late chairman), and Messrs T. Roberts, Aber: R. Roberts, Bangor; G. Jam, Bangor; H. Davies, Bangor; E. Williams, Bangor; W. Jones, Bangor; J. E. Roberts, Bangor; Hugh Hughes, Bangor; H. Williams, Bangor D. Williams, Bangor E.

The first business on the agenda was the election of chairman. Mr David Williams, Bangor, hoped that the meeting would be of one opinion in this matter. It was unnecessary for him to refer to what had happened in the board some time ago, for many things had happened since; but, he thought in Mr Hugh Thomas they had had a very excellent chairman, and that the meetings were carried on amicably, and the business was conducted very satisfactorily. They had, as a board, been free from all sorts of scenes which happened in some boards, and the chairman had been very courteous to all of them, and no one had any reason to com- plain of the manner in which he had conducted himself in the chair during the past twelve months. He (the speaker) had therefore great pleasure in proposing that Mr Hugh Thomas be elected chairman for the ensuing year. Mr Robert Owen (Lledwigan), and Mr Morris Owen (Llangoed), simultaneously seconded the motion, which was also supported by Mr R. Roberts (Bangor), who remarked that, as far as relief was concerned, the chairman had been most fair, just, and impartial (applause). The motion was then put to the meeting and un- animously passed. The chairman said that as the chairman of the board had been elected from Anglesey, it was in order that the senior vice-chairman should be Carnarvonshire. Mr Robert Roberts (postmaster), was then pro- posed and seconded as vice-chairman for Carnar- vonshire, and Mr Robert Owen, Lledwigan, as vice-chairman for Anglesey. Mr Roberts suitably returned thanks. The board then proceeded to the election of committees. The number of tramps in the house was reported as 98 against 78 last meeting.

MODERN ADVERTISING.—We learn that the last and most beautiful painting from the brush of Sir J. E. Millais, Bt., R.A., known as "Bubbles," re- presenting a handsome fair-haired child blowing soap bubbles from a pipe, has been purchased by the proprietors of the well-known Pears' Soap, for the sum of Two Thousand Two Hundred Pounds. We believe the painting is to be the subject of a show card for Messrs Pears' business. Too much credit cannot be given to this enterprising house for the cultured tone they have introduced into advertising.

THE MARRIAGE OF DR S. H. HABERSHON AND MISS C. DAVIES. ELABORATE DEMONSTRATIONS. On Wednesday, the marriage of Dr S. Herbert Habershon, eldest son of Dr Habershon, the well- known London physician, with Miss Catherine Davies, second daughter of the Lord-lieutenant of Anglesey (Mr Richard Davies, M.P.), was solemnised at the Welsh Presbyterian Chapel, Menai Bridge. For some days past elaborate arrangements for a suitable demonstration have been in course of preparation at Menai Bridge. Triumphal arches were raised in all the principal streets of the little town bearing mottes and good wishes, whilst every house contributed its mite to the general display by hanging out bunting and floral device. The entire etfectwas most imposing, especially at a short distance, and the happy pair could not have desired a more heartfelt welcome and God's speed than was betokened in this dis- play. The committee of management under Dr John Roberts, had arranged a most successful day's rejoicings, and these were continued through- out the day and late into the night, when the glare of bonfires attracted attention for miles around. A tea was given to all the school children and various other feastings took place. The approaches to the Menai Suspension Bridge were decorated with bunting, whilst flags floated from the caps of each of the two pillars of the mighty structure. The chapel itself was a veritable conservatory, and was adorned from end to end with rare plants, sweeping ferns and chaste floral tributes. The arrangements at the chapel were in the care of the stewards who had prepared everything well and successfully. The bridal party arrived at the chapel punctu- ally at the hour arranged, but long ere this the sacred edifice had been crowded. A choir sang ap- propriate Welsh hymns whilst awaiting the arrival of the party whose approach was heralded by the firing of cannon from Pone Beggi and Pone Moor- ings. The bride wore a bodice and train of ivory broche velvet over a petticoat of ivory satin, veiled with pearl embroidery with garniture of lace and ivory ribands, wreaths of myrtle and orange blossoms and tulle veil. She wore also a gold locket set with diamonds, the gift of the bridegroom. Bouquet of lilies of the valley, gardinias and stephonotis, &c. The bride's travelling dress was of brown frise with under bodice and petticoat of velvet and sisiliennce stripe finished with golden brown pas- sementerie mantle of frise and brown velvet, and fawn coloured fancy bonnet trimmed with brown velvet. The bridesmaids were Miss Davies, Miss Haber- shon, Miss Edith M. Davies, Miss Ada Habershon, Miss Enid H. Davies, and Miss Beatrice C. Davies. The bridesmaids' dresses were of cream fancy material of silk and wool with simulated under bodices of resida velvet finished with falls ef edelweiss lace. White lace bonnets with resida aigrettes and bouquets of La France Roses. The bridesmaids wore gold and pearl brooches, the gift of the bridegroom. Dr Archibald Garrod acted as best man, and the bride was given away by her father. The Rev D. U. Davies, M.A., officiated, and after the cere- mony the newly-married couple left by the after- noon express for the south. The wedding break- fast was served at Treborth, and the guests in- cluded Dr and Mrs Habershon, Mr John Haber- shon, Mr and Mrs Edward Habershon, Mr and Mrs Charles Pierce, Mr Henry Richard, M.P., and Mrs Richard, Dr and Mrs Gee, The Rev D.

Know There is not the slightest doubt that there is a pos- sibility of restoring and J beautifying the hair. The greatest chemists tell us so, and modern prJof has been offered in many preparations. That there should be one of superior excellence among J. these may also be admitted, and the best test of that sur- passing excellence would be the lasting patronage received and fame allowed Mrs. S. A. Allen's World's Hair Restorer. MRS. S. A. ALLEN'S WORLD'S HAIR RESTOR- ER is acknowledged by all to be most efficacious fot,Orestoring, invigorating, beautifying, and dressing the Hair, rendering it soft, silky, and glossy, and dis- posing it to remain in any desired position; quickly cleansing the scalpo-,e- moving Dandruff, arresting the fall, and imparting iL healthy and natural color to the hair. It never fails to restore gray hair to its original youthful color. It acts directly upon the roots of the hair, giving them the natural nourishmeJJJP required. "One Bottle did it." That is ttae expression of many who have had their gray hair restored to its natural colour, and their bald spot covered with hair, after using one bottle of Mrs. S. A. ALLEN'S WORLD'S HAIR RE- R STORER. It is not a dye, it can do no harm. Every one who has used this preparation speaks loud its praise. If you wish to restore your hair as in youth and retain it through life, without delay pro* cure a bottle. L_- Printed (foe the WELSH NATIONAL NBWSPAPHE £ 2*™ by D.V.
