ADVANCING BACKWARDS. SiR JOIIX GOUST'S Education Bill which has been read in the House of Commons for the first time is a curious mixture of Progressive and Retrogressive elements— in fact, a perfect reilex of tho Cabinet whence it takes its being-. If the objects of the Bill were not so clearly in the nature of an attempt on Constitutional Governmeut, some of its proposals would be regarded by Ivadieals as distinct blessings. It would be well to have a little more Local Government in Educational matters as in other things. The modification of the Code in order to suit the requirements of different localities is a step which was in many cases impera- tively called for it is obviously absurd that a pupil of the London School Board should be tested by the same standard as a pupil of a school in a thoroughly rural district. A man cannot, however, be expected to go into raptures over the fino workmanship of the guillotine, if he knows that it is to bo used for cutting his throat. All the fine plans of the Government end up in the proposal that the county authority shall bo authorised to pay four shillings per head as a special aid grant to necessitous schools." The necessitous schools may be Board Schools or Voluntary Schools; as, however, it is the Voluntary Schools which complain of the "intolerable strain," it requires no spirit of divination to discern the object of the clause. Schools are to be exempted from rates but the Vicar may use them as before for Primrose League Meetings. The county authority can lend the Vicar public money on the security of the School Buildings; but the Vicar will be as independent of popular control as ever. The public have at present to pay 16s in the £ towards the support of the schools in the hands of private individuals. The Government pro- posals simply mean that the British Public will now have the still greater felicity of paying about 20s in the £ An extension of tho conscience clause is provided; but when one considers how inoperative is the present clause, this looks very like an attempt to cajole the public into paying for a shadow. Sir John Gorst thought he had found an unanswerable objection to the pro- posal to replace sectarian schools by Board Schools when he stated that such a change would cost 125,000,000 or thereabouts. Even granting that this is the case it would not moan much more than an expenditure of X5,30,000 annually; the fanatical supporters of the clergy are apparently unaware that 21 per cent. Consols are quoted 4 at 1. 101- and that they will bo converted into 21 per cent. stock in 1905. And how much better would th3 now schools be than the present makeshifts The least truculent of the clericals would however stand aghast at the idea of being put off with a cool half million for besides the extra 4s per head to "necessitous" schools—what sectarian school is not necessitous—the 17s 6d limit is to be abolished. The whole bill is drafted with a Keen eye to the interests of the clericals and an utter disregard of those principles of Constitutional Governments which have been so slowly and surely built up since the days of the Stuarts. A more unblushing attempt to barter popular liberties for the priestly mess of potage could not well bo conceived on the borders of the twentieth century-

Carmarthen County Police Court. SATURDAY.—Before the Rev R G Lawrence, Middleton Hall (iu the chair) and Mr Thomas Parkinson, Castle Pigyn. I Thia was an$&&& Mr Thomas Evans, Troedyrmw .^pumpsaint, an overseer of the poor against three defendants- David Bowen, Elizabeth Bowen, and Hannah Bowcn. of Danygraig, Llanpumpsaint-for non- payment of rates. Mr Rowland Browne appeared for the overseers, and Mr James John for defendants. Mr James John raised a technical objection as to the publication of the ratel, and the signing of them by less than a majority of the overseers. Mr James Bowen, assistant overseer, said that there had been three overseers for the parish of Llanpumpsaint since 1885—when the hamlet of Ystrong-gwili was taken in. Considerable time was spent in examining the counterfoils of the demand notes. It appeared that both demand notes and counterfoils were in many cases still in the book, The overseer stated, however, that threo demand notes bad been served in each case. He also admitted that no demand note had been served for the last May rate-one of those for which the defendants were now sued. Mr James John said that his clients were sued for seve n rates and if one of them was bad the whoie was illegal. Three of the rates were bad at any rate. There were three overseers and at least one churchwarden in Llanpumpsaint parish and by no amount of ingenuity could two be considered as a majority of four—Mr James John had the fult of a hand-cart of books in court from which he quoted decided cases of a similar kind. Mr Rowland Browne contended that the "cases quoted by Mr John were over ruled by Vic. 25 and 26. Cap. 82, which enabled the overseers to claim several rates in one. He contended, moreover, that the magistrates could not entertain any objection to the legality of a rate which was good on the face of it and had not been appealed against. The Bench, afLer a hearing of an hour and a half, refused to issue a warrant but stated that they would state a case for a Superior Court if the guardians wished. UNLICENSED DOGS. P.S. William Thomas charged William Daviea Blaenowm, Abergwili, with keeping a dog without a license.—Fined Is and 7s costs. The same officer charged John Jenkins, Ffynant, Abergwili, with a similar offence —Fined Is and 8s costs. REFUSING TO QUIT. P.C. John Morgan charged David Davies, The Green, Llanstephan (formerly of Lord's Park), with refusing to quit the Union Hall, Llanstephan, when requested Mr Thomas Rtes, the landlord, corroborated the policeman's evidence. Capt. Harries said there were six previous convictions against defendant. The Bench fined defendant £ 1 and 9s costs, with the alternative of "a month." A DRUNKEN RIFLEMAN. P.C. David Lewis charged David Thomas, Green- hill, Tumble, Llanon, with tiring a gun on the Llangunnor-road and with being drunk whilst having loaded firearms in his possession.—David Jones, Login, proved the offence to have been com- mitted on the 4th inst. at the gate opposite Tygwyn. -Fined IUs in each case with costs -the whole amounting to S2 3s 6d.

The Question of the Hour. The question of the hour in thousands of homes is how to regain the strength already lost; how to be able to meet the increasing demands of the future; how to tortify the system against disease how to enable the father, with his failing health, to continue his occupation how to keep the mother from giving way under the weight of family cares how to ensure the son against breaking down under the burden of studies or daily work how to save the delicate* daughter from becoming weaker still; how to infuse new life into the child who does not seem to get on. These are the questions which really press on individual consideration in hundreds of cases day by day, and week by week. There is now, fortunately, a satisfactory answer to this question, and that is use Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters, the vegetable tonic, acknowledged to be the best remedy of the age for Nervousness, Weakness, Low Spirits, Melancholy, Loss of Appetite, and Indigestion.

Carmarthenshire Infirmary. ANNUAL MEETING OF GOVERNORS. The annual meeting of the governors of and ¡¡uhseribers to L: OHlDl\rtthûnshire Infirmary was hold at the Shire-hall. Caitnirthcu, on Thursday, the nth inst. Mr H Brunei White (Mayor of Car- m-t-thc-.ri) presided. There were also present ,—Dr vhllrL, Mr Thomas Jones (Mansel-street), Mr T Barker, Mr James Philips (London House). Mr TEBrigs'ocke, Rev Jonathan Marsden, Mr J W Forbes, Mr John Miller, Mr James Brigstocke, Mr Evan Morgan. Dr R G Price, Mr C W Jones, Mr H F Pi it-chard. Mr George Bagnall, Mr E Culby Evans. Mr Walter Lloyd, Mr W Morgan Griffiths. Dr E R Williams, Mr Richard Lloyd (Dark-gate), and Mr Daud Williams (Lammas-street); together with the secretary (Mr Ben Spivey), and the house surgeon (Dr Griffiths). The Chairman said he was glad to see so many present. That showed that the Institution had not lost i's hold on the people of Carmarthen and ne.ighbourhoood. He would have much preferred that the chair hid been occupied by one of the county gentlemen, who would give greater eclat- to the proceedings than he would. The accounts for the year showed a slight increase on the right side, a good deal of the increase was dua to the energy of their respected secretary—Mr Bea Spivey. Mentioning the HaDes of various benefactors, the Chairman recalled the good deeds of Mr Studt, who bad done so much for the institution of recent years. Mention was also made of the fact that Mr Llewellyn Williams and Mr T J Harries, of London, had cach subscribed 50 guineas to the Infirmary. Great credit was due to Mr Thomas Jenkins, who had brought the needs of the institution under the notice of these two gentlemen —one of whom, at any rate, had promised that he would subscribe a like sum annually. The ball promoted by Mrs R M Tnomas and other ladies had brought in X82 and the Infirmary Saturday had brought in L175. The legacies of X,200 from Mrs Jones, Cwmcoch, Llandebie and JE270 from Miss Parnall had been invested in 4 per cent Guaranteed L lz X W R Stock. During the p:1>t year the House Committee had lost by death two very valuable members—Mr Charles Finch hnd Mr Jacob Thomas. After paying a high tribute to the manner in which the chairman of the House Committee (Rev C G Brown) conducted the business, the Chairman concluded by recommending the work of the Institution in the words, Inas- much as ye have done it to the least of theso, yc have done it unto Me." HOUSE COMMITTEE'S REPORT. The report of the House Commit.ee, which was then read by the Secretary, and adopted. stated that the Infirmary continued to do its work with increasing beuetit to the community. The returns made by thi Medical Officer for the whole year might show that the number of in-pulicnta under treatment had not been so large as in the previous year, but that had been due, not to ouv lack of confidence on the part of the sick, but to the better health of the general public, the past year having been admittedly one of exceptional healthiness. It was gratifying to notice that the in-patients had been drawn from the more distant parts of the county, as well as from the vicinity of the town, and that, though at some periods of the year their number had been smaller than usual, not unfrequently the wards hid been so full as to have made further admissions impossible. It was -till more gratifying to the House Committee to be able to state that weak by week they had had from patients leaving the Infirmary most emphatic testimony to the care, skill, and attention, they had received from the medical and nursing staffs cf the Institution, and the committee again availed them- selves of that opportunity of publicly thanking those officers for their very efficient services. In October last the Infirmary lost ths servic s of its resident Medical Officer, through the removal of Mr J J Evans to the Eye Hospital at Birmingham. Mr Evans had served the Carmarthenshire Infirmary with much zeal and ability for upwards of three years, his care for the interests of the Institution was most marked, and the instruction given by him to the nursing staff was very valuable. The vacancy had been filled by the appointment of Mr J H N Griffiths, M.B., C M., Edinburgh. At ill- last general meeting the Governors were reminded that it would be necassary to proceed with the restoration of the east wall of the building, and a hope was expressed that this necessary woik would be carried out, even if by so doing the debt upon the Institution would be increased. But not even the most sanguine of their supporters would have supposed that, owing to increased interest taken in the Infirmary and to the exertions made by many friends to raise subscriptions and obtain funds by means of entertainments, the committee would be able, not only to re-cement the east wall but to finish the north wall, to complete also the n' nf t11'n;n" nnt1 vønt.ilo.tinn, nTl,1 Dracbically Q.uu. 1J""14Î 1 rJT ,11 CHh Institu- tion but with a material decrease, for whereas the balance against the Infirmary in March, 1895, was L298 8s Id, it was now only £121 Is 9J. The exterior of the building had now been placed in a most satisfactory condition, the architect stating his opinion that no part of the walls would again want repairing for the next hundred years. The whole of the drainage and ventilation had been put into good working order, and a very considerable improvement had been brought about in the bath accommodation. The committed, however, were disposed to look upon this last alteration as of only a temporary character, it being thought very desirable at some future time, when means may be placed at their disposal, to so alter the bath-room and office accommodation as to bring the Institution into a condition more in accordance with what modern sanitation demands. The warmest thanks of all interested in the well-being of the Infirmary were due to all those whose exertions had enabled this excellent work to be done. The House Com- mittee desired expressly to thank Mr S:udt for his generous donation of LIOO, Mr Ll Williams and Mr T J Harries for their contributions each of fifty guineas, the Mayor (Mr H Brunei White) for ;£,12 15s od. the proceeds of a dramatic entertainment, and those ladies who, by instituting an lnurmary Ball, were ab'e to hand over the handsome sum of is2 14s 8d. At the last general meeting the House Committee were directed to use their best endeavours to establish an Infirmary Saturday. They had now to report that through the kind zeal and energetic action of many friends, as well as the skilful organisation and untiring work of their Secretary, Mr B Spivey, the Hospital Saturday had been established, and was an unlooked for success. The amount raised was £ 175 4s 3d. It was much to be hoped that the Infirmary Saturday would become a permanent institution, not only because it had proved itself a very effectual means of raising funds, but because it afforded to many an opportunity of contributing, which they appeared most eager to avail themselves of-an opportunity which otherwise they might possibly not have Nothing was more marked than the eagerness exhibited by the poorer inhabitants of Carmarthen to give of their means, and no more convincing proof of their appreciation of the usefulness of the Infirmary could be desired. The committee d?sired to report that the Nursing Institution appeared to them to be an unqualified success. The demands from outside for nursing aid were constant, and, unfortunately, were often greater than the com- mittee, with a limited staff, could adequately supply. The letters received from patients, doctors, and relatives, afforded ample evidence of the benefit the public received through the skilled nursing the Infirmary affords, and there could not be a shadow of a donbt that by this means an acknowledged want in the county was supplied. The income from this source was considerably greater than the expense entailed, so that this branch of the Infirmary was carried on with profit to the Institu- tion. Since the last general meeting the first examination of the probationary nursing staff for certificates of competence had been held by the medical officers with gratifying results. It was to be hoped that the knowledge that such training could be had might attract to the Infirmary young women of at least fairly good education, who were certainly best fitted for so useful and honourable a career. In conclusion, the committee pointed out that much remains to be done if the Infirmary is to be placed in a thoroughly satisfactory condition. Among the most pressing were repainting the interior, replacing old and nearly worn-out bed- steads by those of a more modern pattern, and re- laying the floors in those wards where such work was required. These improvements, it wns hoped, would be carried out shortly. The committee returned their sincere thanks for the many kind gifts of fruit, flowers, toys, books, and papers. HOUSE SURGEON'S REPORT. The report of the House Surgeon (Dr J II N Griffiths) for the year ending March 31st, was then read and adopted. It stated that the number of patients treated during the year had been 813. Of this number 689 were out-patients. The particulars were as follows:—Out-patients, under treatment April 1st, 1895, 124 admitted during the you, 5(35; total, G89.

In answer to questions, Mr John Milier said that the amount stated as from "St Clears and Pendine brakes" had been obtained through Messrs David and Howell, promising him that they would run their brakes for a day for the benfit of the Infirmary. The Secretary said it had been agreed not to mention any names, because if the names of every- one who contributed on the Infirmary Saturday were mentioned, a small volume would be requiied to contain the names. ELECTION OF HOUSE CO-IIMIITEE. The Secretary read the following list of attendances made by the members of the House Committee diuiug the year:—Mr Evan Morgan, 49; Mr C W Jones, 38 Mr T E Brigstonke, 31; Mr E II Harris, 11 Rev C G Browne, 45 Mr Thomas Thomas, 7 Mr W Morgan Griffiths, 16 Mr James BrigsLocke. 25 Rev T R Walters, 22 Mr Rowland Browne, 19 Bishop of Swansea, 17 Mr R M Thomas, 27 Mr H Brunei White, 37 Mr Waiter Lloyd, 46 Rev David Evans, 37; Mr 1! .,v. cll Ilowelis, 41 Mr James Phillipps, 46 Rev J Maryden, 42 Mr John Miller, 47. The names of the following were proposed as candidates for the two vacant places, viz.—Mr John Lewis, Johnstown; Dr Parry: Mr J W Forbes Mr E Colby Evans and Mr David Williams. The following was the result of the ballot. The figures show the number of votes cast for each of the successful candidates Mr Evan Morgan, 22 Rev C G Browne, 22; Mr H B White 22 Mr James Phillips, 22 Re' J Mareden, 22 Mr C W Jones, 21 Bishop of Swansea, 21 Mr R M Thomas, 21 Mr Howell Howells, 21 Mr John Miller, 21 Mr Walter Lloyd, 21 Mr T E Brigstocke, 20; Mr E II Morris, 20 Mr W Morgan Griffiths, 20 Rev David Evans, 20; Mr James Brigstocke, 19 Mr Rowland Browne, 19 Mr Thomas Thomaa, 18 Rev T R Walters, 18 Mr E Colby Evans, 14 Mr David Williams, 14. Mr J W Forbes moved a vote of thanks to the Honorary Medical Staff; the members of the House Committee; the ministers of religion who had attended on the patients and promoted collec- tions for the good of the Institution the honorary treasurer (Mr 11 F Pritchard) and the auditors (Mr Thomas Jones and Mr David Williams). Mr E Colby Evans seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. Mr W Morgan Griffiths moved a vote of thanks to the promoters of the entertainments in aid of be Infirmary the members of the Infirmary Saturday" Committee the Infirmary Ball" Committee; Mr Studt, Mr T J Harries, Mr Llewellyn Williams ank the members of the local Press for making known th* needs of the Institution.-la moving the resolntion, Mr W M Griffiths said he had received a communication from a gentleman who offered to give 25 guineas to the funds of the Institution, if half-a-dozen others would contribute the like amount. Mr George Bagnall seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. The Mayor brought forward the question as to the right of clubs, etc., who contributed to the funds to recommend patients for admission to the Infirmary. He was president of a Cycling Club, but if that club subscribed 10 guineas, he or the other officers of the club had not the same privilege as a private individual who subscribed one guinea. He thought this unfair, Mr W Morgan Griffiths moved that the rules should be altered, so as to remedy the state of affairs indicated by the chairman. This motion was secondad by Dr Williams, and carried nem COlt. Mr W Morgan Griffiths brought forwl\1 a motion to abrogate rule 88, which throws the of changing, or proposing to change, a rule t1- aso\l. on" discussion, b<-> = '• ;o*ii5i!um3wa&'at Vj ed.

The adjudicators were —Music, Mr D Howells (Gwynslaw) Femdale (who also favoured the audience in the evening with t.wo songs, which were a treat). Lite ature, Mr J Brynach Davies, Llanfyrnach. Both the adjudicators gave entire satisfaction.

St. Peters's Church, Carmarthen. ANNUAL VESTRY MEETING. The ar.nuil vestry meeting was held at St Peter's Church on Thursday, the 9th inst. The Bishcp of Swanspa presided. There were also present:—RevJ.Du.iol; Rev D. J. Evana the Rev D. T. Griffiths D Rowlands Mr C. E Davies lr E C.>itjy Evans Mr J. D, ] Mcdealf; Mr Pi d>nore Air Thomas Davies lBårku) Mr A. L!.

The Bishop of Swansea, in opening the proceed- ing*, referred to the extraordinary sueceon which bad attended the parochial woik during ths pif>t year. The two mission-rooms—one in Cambrian- place and the other in Towyside—ehowed by their success that they were appreciated by those for whom were intended. An innovation had been started this year in that the Holy Communion had been administered m Towyside Mission-room. By that iccsns a good many had been enabled to communicate, who could not have been induced to come to the paiish church as they imagined that their clothes were not good enough to appear there. The s'icctss of St. John's Welsh Church was beyond all praise. It was the bright spot in the parish-thanks to the labours of thA Rev D. T. Griffiths and Li" helpers. Dr Rowlands, who had such a nne appreciation of the Welsh language, and who adtuired the earnestness of the worshippers, would tell them that he enjoyed the services there quite as much as St. Peter' Dr Rowlands Not quite, my lord. The Bishop, continuing, said that there had been 191 communicants at St. John's Church on Easter trorning. When the thurch was erected during the time that the j resent liifhop of St. Asaph was vicar, the utmost that couid be said was that 98 or 100 had communieatcd. 140 had been present at 6 o'clock on Christmas morning at the" plygain." With regard to St. Peter's it might be said that things were going satisfactorily. H was not aware that there had been any serious dissatis- fact;cn; there might have been differences of wpinion with regard to the renewal of the organ He did not think, however, that there would be the eligh? st difference of opinions when the organ was finished. He was certain that everyone would agree when it was finished ithat it was a great iroproveaient. Thanks to Mr and Mrs Reid, who had gicen the matter a good start, and without whose aid it would not have been started, the new organ would soon be opened, and would be paid for by the time it was opened. The firm, to whom the re-building had been entrusted, had made a thoroughly good job 01 it; they had not only carried out their contract, but had done a good deal more. —The Bishop concluded his remarks by payir b the retiring churchwardens —Mr J. P. Carter and Mr C E. D.ivies— a high tribute for toe manner in which they had carried out the duties of their office during their term. Mr J P Carter then presented the churchwardens' accounts, from which it appeared that although they had commenced office with a balance of only yet they could now show a credit balance of £28 2s after paying the usual expenses, and in addition carrying out important renovations in the edifice. Dr Rowlands proposed that the accounts be passed. This motion was seconded by Mr James Brigstocke, and carried nem. Dr Rowlands proposed a vote of thanks to the churchwardens for the manner in which they had carried out the duties of their office. Everything had gone on most harmoniously during the year and the churchwardens deserved the best thanks of the vestry for the great attention which they had paid to and the excellent manner in which they had carried out their duties Mr J D Medcalf seconded the motion The Bishop of Swansea also supported the motion. As an instance of the successful administration of the churchwardens, he drew attention to the fact that they had £28 to the good and had paid off the cost of the renovations which amounted to over Mr J P Carter, in acknowladging the vote, said that anything he had done for St. Peters had been a hbour of love, Mr C E Davies also briefly acknowledged the vote. ELECTION OF CHURCHWARDENS. The Bishop of Swansea said that the next business was to elect two churchwardens for the ensuing year. He believed the ancient usage and the right thing to do was for the vicar and the t vestry to agree upon two wardens. That usage had, however, been changed to the present one; by which the vicar one warden, and the 'u.I. ptO.(I.IAi. .r. __J4"p.i.r8"U\ uv,oG., u ."011:# V1U ,1 aj was too better. lie believed that the two men who were likely to be nominated could be agreed upon. There was no disrespect implied to the retiring charchwardens in the election of two other gentlemen he believed it had always been the custom for the church- wardens to retire after two years or so. Dr Rowlands No it was not the custom, my lord. I have known churchwardens here for 15 years. Mr J P Carter said it was his intention to retire in any case. Mr C E Davies expressed the same intention. The Bishop of Swansea said that the gentleman whom he had intended to nominate had come to bim at the last moment, and without giving any reason for so doing, had stated that he did not desire to be nominated. He (the Bishop) had, however, another gentleman in his mind who, he believed, would be equally acceptable to the con- gregation—one whose connection with the Church reflected the greatest credit upon himself and his family, and whose father had been a churchwarden before him. He referred to Mr J S Lester, whom he nominated as the vicar's warden. The wardens were only nominated that day, and were not formally elected until the Archdeacon's court was held. Mr Reid said he had great pleasure in proposing Mr II Brunei White as the other churchwarden. Mr White was so well known to, and so respected by everyone, that it was not necessary to say any- thing in his favour. The Bishop Baid he thought he could say without hesitation that Mr H. Brunei White was at the present moment one of the most popular men in Carmarthen. Dr Rowlands, in seconding the proposition, said that Mr White had made a name for himself in Carmarthea, which, owing to his peculiar bent of mind, he would .retain. No man was better qualified for the office of Churchwarden than Mr White. The proposition on being put to the meeting, was carried nem. con. The Bishop of Swansea said it would be difficult to find two better churchwardens than those who had been nominated. Since he had been vicar, he had always had excellent warden to assist in the work of carrying on the services. THE SHUTTING OF THE CHURCH GATES. Dr Rowlands called attention to the uneven and dangerous condition of the path through the churchyard and thought the new Churchwardens ought to do something to repair it. Mr J. P. Carter I am afraid you would not like to go into an expense of £2i>O, Mr James Brigstocke said he quite agreed with what Dr Rowlands had said. Ho had also heard Dr Row lunds mention that he used to walk through the churchyard and out at the other gate. He (Mr James Brigstocko) quite agreed with the gate of churchyard being on a chain but for some reason or other, the gites were now kept locked. The Churchwardens had probably a very good reason for acting as they did but it was very awkward if one enterted at the gate in front not to be able to come out at the gate in Priory-street, as formerly. The keeping open of the gates had become a custom like the present method of electing churchwardens, Ho should like to see the new churchwardens do something to repair the paths. Dr Rowlands And ldave the gates open. The Bishop of Swansea said that the gates had been originally closed to prevent the children coming in and throwing stones at the chestnuts. Mr C E Davies said that some windows had been broken by the throwing of stones. Ore lady, too, had nearly had her head cut cpen. Mr James Brigstocke: Where were the church- wardens? Mr J P Carter: We cannot walk round the church all day. The Bishop of Swansea said he believed the power lay with him as vicar, to close or open the gates. He did not think it fell at all within the province of the churchwardens and he took the full responsibility for the locking of the gates. He wished that the church should always be open to those who wished to come there to pray but he did not exactly wish to see the churchyard turned into a public thoroughfare. It certainly wa3 very annoying, he admitted, for a person to have to turn back after reaching the further gate. Dr Rowlands said that had happened to him often when on his way to St. John's Church. The Bishop of Swansea said that the path was not one which could be claimed as a public thoroughfare; and, therefore, with all due defference to what Mr Brigstocko had said, he thought the present discussion beside the point. There was a special reason for closing the gates at the time; but it would always be the wish of the vicar and churchwardens to keep them open. The pathway was certainly very convenient; but it must not be taken as a right. Mr James Brigstocke said he quite admitted the vicar's freehold in the church and churchyard but he would point out that there were no chestnuts now for the boys to throw stones at. The Bshop of Swansea That was how ill started. I have not int.erf.ied with the churchwardens in the matter. Mr J P Carter said he hr.d ?een prople Iring heaps of rubbish to deposit b the churchyard. Mr C E Davies said thul he had stopped ore woman depositing a Leap of old boots and shots there which some kind friend jp¡] given her. He made her take the whole lot back again. The Bish«»p of Swansea add he himself hv! t-een very objcc.ionable things done tho to. especially ou fair and market days. lIe would consider the of the gates, if the church- wardens wished him to do so. The path was used le tc by the whole town, and he declined to allow a special offertory to be made in the ohureh for its repair. He did not see why the duty cf maintain- ilig the path should fail upon the cou^rt^tion of St Peter?. It might be a very good thins to put by the surplus which they l;OW had to form ilia nucleus of a fund for the repair of the path but he felt, very strongly that the congregation should not be called upon to maintain a path whicj was used by the rag-tag and bob-toil of the town —for there were rag-tag and bob-tail in Carmarthen as in other towns. Mr James Brigatooko then proposed tbat the balance in hau l should be set to form 1 lie nucleus of a fund for the improvement of the churchyard. After some discussion, the Bishop cf Swansea remarked thai it would be as well to leave the balance at tlii- disposcl of the new churchwardens to deal with they thought best. Mr James "rigatocke then consented to withdraw his lesolulion. AUDITORS AND SIDESMEN. It was agreed, on the motion of Mr T W Barker, seconded by Mr James Brigstorke, that Mr A LI Davies and Mr C N Phillips should audit the churchwardens' accounts. Mr Charles Whitecak was added to the list of I;id -The Bishop remarked that Mr Whiteoak had been most zealous and helpful in many ways in the parish. THANKS TO THE CHOIRS. The Bishop of Swansea then proposed a Yf¡te of thanks to the choirs of St. Peter's and St. ,fohn' and complimented Mr Wesley Martin on the indefatigable manner in which he had works.i. Dr James Rowlands, in seconding, said that the singing at St. John's was splendid; and that at St. Peter's beyond prniBe. The Bishop, in declaring the motion carried said that Mr Medcalf and Mr Woodman had been most helpful in managing the choir. THE CLERKSHIP. The Rev J. Daniel was appointed parish clerk, on condition that he appointed Mr \V. Beynon Jones as deputy. Mr C. E. Davies Isn't the clerk bound to do the work, if the deputy does not ? Rev J. Daniels Mr Jone3 is so attentive to his work that I have no fear of that. The accounts of the Curates' Fund and the Board wore then passed and the meeting terminated.

St. David's Easter Vestry. The ristry meeting of the parishioners of St. David's C*rm £ Hhen, wras held at Christ Church on Friday morning, the vicar (the Rev T, R Walters) prei-iiSmj. —Mr Daniel Jones, churohwardai, pros nted the St. David's Church accounts, which showed the total sum collected duiing the year in that church to have been £5i) 6s ld, of which £ 18 16s was subscribed to the Infirmary, the Church Missionary Society, TLiere was an adverse balance ofit 0,3 lid.—Mr James John, thy ieli:iig waiden, presented the Christ Church accounts, which showed the subscriptions to have be, ii C64 12.; offertories for church expenses, L46 14s 7 1 the total receipts being fl79 12s 5d. There was a balance of X5 Os 3d due to the churchwardens, but there were sufficient subscriptions outstanding to cover this. There were £ 1-51 14s lld in liand upoil the Spanish fete account, but this could only be expended in specific directions—Mr Dmiei Jones, ptinter, Sawo.iil-^errace, and Mr C. J. Davie- Sheaf Inn, were re-elected parish and vicar's ward-ns respectively for St. David's Church, and the vicar appointed Mr J. D. Evans and Mr B. A. L'wi3 as the Christ Church wardens.—Mr Colby E-laus incidentally temarked that he should like to sou the church free," end the Vicar replied that if anybody guaranteed to find a sum of money equal to that received in pew rents, he would be mightily pleased to declare it open at that momi'rr.t. It was announced that tt.e archdeacon s visitation, would take place on Thursday, 23rd inst. The vicar suggested that Christ Church organ-chamber should be converted into a vestry, and that the crgsn be removed to the existing veatry, in order that more room should be provided for the choir. A general meeting of the cougregalion is to U illed to .V -MATTPR. Y

M yd rim School. To the Editor of the Carmarthen Weekly Reporter SIR,—You have now issued two numbers of your reliable paper since the one containing my letter concerning the Rev A. Britten's denial of my assertions. I have been expecting the rev gentleman to explain his conduct in ynur columns, he ha* however pursued the policy of silence. He has our sympathy for adopting the more honourable position under the circumstances. The cotuueicn which possessed him in the parish meeting on this point would only grow wotse end worse the mure he would meddle with it. It is a great pity that the vicar overreached himself at first. This bit of experience has taught him an important and humiliating lesson. Silence can rpeak volumes, and we take the vicar's silence as expressing soirow for his denial also a withdrawal of his words. Had the rev. gentleman tried to confirm his remarks, he would thereby only make the reytster unttu-a also the tcaehcr false, who is responsible for the entries. Then it would be a case of a house dividing against itself for as matters now stand the teachers raid vicar are one. I accept the vicar'a silence as a withdrawal, and thank him for so courteously scaling his lips. I)i;iesyd(I makes a gravel and bold stand for his tights, and his courage and knowledge puts me under an obligation to him. lie fully vindicates himsiIf against the false charges brought forward. So tar "l igo" is silent I hope and trust that he also will face the denial without fear. Thanking you for your generosity, I am, See., OBSEHYEU.

ID the Editor of the Carmarthen Weekly J(cj>nrter. gn{)—Evidently the Mydrim Vicar has seen his mistake. If he had any shadow of a chance of substantiating what he blurted out at the parish meeting he would ere this have taken up his defence in the Facts are subbern things" under all circumstances, and even if a Vicar with an air of infallibility calls a fact a lie, it is no less a truth for that. Truth is truth always, and no Vicar can alter it. The rev. gentlemtm called all statements in this case untrue yea, bare untruth He has been offered proof, but he does not want it. He will not repeat his denial; he is afraid of it. If he had any ground to stand on he would not forfeit his opportunity by holding his tongue, for that can easily be used by him, as was shown in your report of the Parish meeting. He is to be congratulated for having seen the error of his folly. Of couts: the Vicar in not wiitirg would have the public believe that his policy is xilent contempt. The gentleman in holy orders is above taking any notice of what is written 1 But has he been silent ? Has he been above ? No far from it. He crowcd the loudest at the parish meeting, and became so low as to try and make a stroke of popularity at the expense of branding other people false. This is the most ungentlemanly hit in the whole affair. The Vicar knew nia birds, as he thought, and counted seemingly upon a good stroke of business and it would have been a grand hit if he had been able to hold out Instead of that, he has made a flat shot. It is not safe for any man to-day to speak unless he can prove his statement.—not even for a Vicar. It is a common gospel preached in Mydrim, and from house to house too, that it is better not to reply to the letters in the Reporter so as to preserve the peace of the paiish. The vicar at any rate dors not seem to have personal faith in this doctrine when delivering himself at the parish meeting. It is also taught in Mydrim that the sole object of those who write on this subject is to create dis- turbance and agitate the parish. This is a nice goody-goody twaddle. Any pretence—any sham— will do when there is no case. It is hard to have the truth told, and whosoever will speak out facts ho can expect no small measure of ili-treatment. It was said of Paul and Silas, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also." It is not known who your correspondents are yet whomsoever suspected—and many a one is sus- pected—is open even in Mydrim to tl e rougheet handling. People who can't write pretend to love peace yet are boiling over with anger. Some bombasts care not whom they insult, and harass and molest on the highway. Certain pomposities think that they can attack anyone on the road and not be brought to justice. It they curb not their rage it will he necessary to appeal for protection under the Magna Charta signed by King John. This Charta has a special provision for the safety of every man's own person. It will be well for those who bluster and bully in thoroughfares to keep t;iis in mind. If they wish to speak, surely, sir, you wiil freely lend them your columns. It appears that Mydrim's affairs are managed more by swagger than system and intelliglice. When this spirit is allowed its own tling, the result will be that even a teacher will be subject to bullying in the streeti and no talk made of an official right to interfere &nd on intelligent investigation.
