BANKRUPTCY OF A CARNARVON TRADESMAN. AT the Bangor Bankruptcy Court, on Thursday, before Mr. Registrar J. Wynne Jones, Mr. W. Williams, grocer and flour merchant, Pool-street, Carnarvon, again came up for his public examina- tion. Mr. J. T. Roberts appeared for the bankrupt, while the creditors were represented by Mr. W. Prichard, of the Peblig Mills, Carnarvon, the trustee of the estate, who is also the principal creditor.—Mr, Prichard, addressing t he Official Receiver (Mr. W. Evans), said that the bank book of the bankrupt showed that he had paid upwards of X 100 to a J. E. Lewis. He (Mr. Prichard) desired to know what was the business transactions between the bankrupt and Lewis.-In reply to the Official Receiver, the bankrupt said that Mr. Lewis was a grocer at Conway—a friend of his, from whom he had purchased tea, &c. Mr. Lewis also lent him money. Witness owed Mr. Lewis a certain amount at the time he filed his petition.—Mr. Prichard: And yet Mr. Lewis's name does not appear in the list of the creditors who have proved.—Replying to the Registrar, the bankrupt said that .\1(. Lewis's name was included in the list of creditors submitted to the Liverpool meeting. He did not know why it was omitted in the present list. He had told his daughter to include it in the list, and the omission must have been a mistake. She knew that he had had dealings with Mr. Lewis, and that he (witness) owed him money. He kept no account of the loan transactions with Mr. Lewis except that which appeared in the bankbook. Nothing more was required, as they were very great friends. Witness, as a rule, paid the money through the bank when Mr. Lewis wauted it. Sometimes the latter lent him money in cash and at other times by cheque.—The Official Receiver: When Mr. Lewis lent you sums of money did you enter these loans in any special book or memorandum of your own ? Witness: No.—The Official Receiver: So that if Mr. Lewis died suddenly-and such tlings happen very often, even among great friends—there would be nothing in the world to show what had been the transaction between you and him ? Witness: My family would know. It was a plain transaction between friends, and nothing was carried on without the family knowing.- The Official Receiver Well, it must be a great surprise to your family to know that you met with these troubles now. I don't believe that your daughter knew anything about your tran- sactions with this Mr. Lewis.—In reply to further questions, the bankrupt stated that he did not know how often he borrowed money from Mr Lewis, as he did not keep an account. He repaid the loans by instalments, as per agree- ment. Sometimes he was disappointed in business, and it was only then it became neces- sary to ask Mr. Lewis for a loan. Witness paid the interest the bank gave. He had kept a memorandum of the repayment of some of the instalments, but he did not know where they were now. He never thought he would have been brought to this," otherwise he would have gladly kept them. He was afraid he could not make an account of the transactions between himself and Mr. Lewis, but perhaps he might, with the aid of his wife and children. He borrowed E20 or £25 from Mr. Lewis in January List; that was an account standing between them. He thought he now owed Mr. Lewis about E55. In reply to questions from Mr. Prithard, the bankrupt denied that his wife had acurrent account in the National Provincial Bank at Conway.—Mr. Prichard: It is rumoured that she has.-The Bankrupt: She might have deposited some rent money there once, as she had a house at Pen- maenmawr.—Further questions having been answered, the Official Receiver applied for a further adjournment to May 17th, in order that the bankrupt might prepare an amended deficiency account and also furnish a detailed statement of his transactions with Mr. J. E. Lewis, of Conway. The application was granted.

LADY" READE AND THE TENANT OF CEFNAN FARM, ANGLESEY. ON Saturday, at Bangor, UJ. S. R. Dew, the under-sheriff for Carnarvonshire, held a court to assess damages in an action in which judgment had gone by default in the superior courts. The plaintiffs were Mr. Stanley Carpenter and the Rev. E. J. Bell, trustees under the marriage settlement of Lady Chandoa- Reade, of Gareg- lwyd, Holyhead; and the defendants William Turner and his wife.—Mr. Malcolm Douglas (instructed by Mr. J. Lloyd Griffith) appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Marshall (instructed by Messrs. Roberts and Laurie) for the defendants. —Mr. Turner was the tenant of Cefnan Farm, situate in Llanfechell parish, which is included in the estate of Lady Chandos Reade. lIe was tjrved with a notice to quit the tenancy, which expired on November 13th, last jear. Instead of giving up the tenancy he held over until December 13th. Two fields, comprising about nine acres, were held over until February 22nd. and the stackyard was still occupied by him For this holding over an action was brought for recovering double the yearly value of that part of the farm which was retaine from the occu- pation of Mr. Hughes, who succeeded Mr. Turner in the tenancy, and had made a claim for a deduction in rent. Mr. Owen Edwards, land agent and valuer, Pwllheli, on behalf of the plaintiffs, estimated the monthiy letting value of the farm, which had a rental of X221), at S20 Is. Od., or the double value of the land hell over at S42 16s. Mr. Marshall said the family of the defendants had been tenants of the farm for a century and a half, and it was sought to deprive them of the benefits of the Agricultural Holdings Act, uuder which £2126 was ;ctaimed for unexhausted im- provements, as well as to make them pay this double value. The incoming tenant had suffered no loss by the holding over, there being no important farming operations during the months of November and December. The defendant. Mr. Turner, said the holding over was attributed partly to abortive negotia- tions which were proceeding with the incoming tenant tor the purchase of the hay aud straw and root crops, and in part to the illness of his wife, who was worried at seeing her old home broken up. He valued the farm at 153. an acre, being 6s. lower than that made by Mr. Edwnros. Evidence in support of the defendants' case was also given by Mr. Gardner (The Vallev), and Mr. John Pritchard, auctioneer, both of whom stated that the land was valueless at the close of the year. After a consultation the jury found for the defendants. Notice of appeal was given.

John Thomas; and from Ysgubor Fawr, Mrs. Elizabeth Evans. In the evening, two casks of pitch were lit on Penygaer by Tyddyn Mawr, and their glare illuminated the whole district round. When the appropriate time comes, all the tenants will unite with the other tenants in subscribing to give Mrs. Assheton Smith a hands _>me presenc. LLANNOK. Not only was the marriage celebrated by Mr. Assheton Smith's tenants, but on all sides were to be seen marks of respect. The village of Efailnewydd was gaily decorated with flags, and at night the following houses were illuminated —Mr. Hughes, Bodvel; Mr. Roberts, Gwning- gaer; Mr. Williams, Efail Bont; the Vicarage, both Penmaen Farms, also Fern Hill, the resi- dence of Mr. Charles Walker, which could be seen from a great distance. An immense bonfire was lit on Moel Penmaen, and rejoicings on an extensive scale were carried out. LLAJTGIAN, PWLLHELI. The leading tenants of the Vaynol estate and friends of the worthy lauded proprietor con- vened a meeting to form an executive committee for the purpose of carrying out the due celebra- tion of the auspicious event to a successful issue. Collections were made amongst the tenantry, and the greatest unanimity prevailed. 300 of the children of the parish, who, together with the parents and indigent people, numbering about 500, were treated to tea, &c., at the Voel- gron Schoolroom. The tables were cheerfully presided over by Mrs. Lloyd Edwards and party, Nanhoron; the Rev. D. R. Morgan; Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, Talsam; the Misses Griffith, Castell- march; Mr. and Mrs. Williams, Llawrdref; Mr. Henry Griffith, Tyddyngwyn; Mr. and Mrs. Griffith, Llawrdref; Mr. Owen, Tyddynymur; Mr. and Mrs. Owen, Cieau; Mr. and Mrs. Owen, Barrack Bach; Mr. and Mrs. Jones, Bryu- llewelyn Mr. and Miss Thomas, Deuglawdd Mrs. Jones, Neigwl Plas; Mr. Pritchard, Bod- londeb Mr, Mrs., and the Misses Jones, School- house Mr. Williams, Brynhyfryd Mrs. Wil- liams, Greigwen; Miss Jones, Brynypwll; Mrs. Davies, Nanhoron Isaf, &c., &e. Several songs were sung by the children, and Mr. Thomas, Talsarn, proposed long life, happiness, and prosperity to the honoured and happy couple, Mr. aud Mrs. Assheton Smith," which, on being seconded an I supported in felicitous terms by Mr. Williams, Llawrdref, and Mr. Pritchard (the Nanhoron bailiff), was most enthusiastically carried, ending with the well-known musical honours, For he is a jolly good fellow," and "She is a jolly good lady." The schoolroom was tastefully decorated with appropriate mottoes. Flags and bunting, kindly lent by Mrs. Lloyd Edwards for the occasion, were hoisted at the top of Voelgron and about the school-house. Sweets and oranges were freely. distributed by Mrs. Lloyd Edwards in the playground, as were also buns by the tenantry. The sports after- wards commenced, when a great number of prizes were given for racing, leaping, &c. To complete the day's amusements a huge bonfire, prepared by the Squire of Nanhoron, in com- bination with the said tenantry, was lit on the top of Voelgron, and continued to blaze till after midnight. It should be added that bonfires were also kindled at Castellmarch, Talsarn, and Tyddynymur, and every house of the tenantry, and many others wero beautifully illnminated. THE BONFIRE ON SNOWDON. A correspondent informs us that the materials used for the bonfire on the summit of Snowdon consisted of ten tons of coal, several tons of timber, three casks of pitch, two casks of petro- leum, and one cask of tar. The night was misty, but nevertheless there was a tremendous fire burning. The pile was constructed, having four flues running through it, by R. G. Parry and O. Prichard (Carnarvon), Williams (Eben- ezer), Thomas Roberts (Snowdon Hotel), John Owen, ditto. The cart containing two casks of pitch, weighing 2t tons, was taken up actually to the very summit by Robert Elias Roberts, between whom and his three horses there appeared to be most intelligent understanding. It was Roberts's father who, 19 years ago, suc- ceeded in accomplishing a similar feat when Mr. Assheton Smith came of age. The hugeness of the bonfire may be conceived from the fact that it was still burning on Thursday this week. TRIP TO LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER. On Faturday, about three thousand workmen engaged at Dinorwic Slate Quarries and on the Vaynol estate enjoyed a trip by rail to Liver- pool and Manchester, the expense being defrayed by their employer, Mr. Assheton Smith, of Vaynol Hall, in commemoration of his wedding. In addition to issuing free tickets, the popular Squire of Vaynol permitted the married work- men to take with them their wives and one child, whilst pocket-money was also given-5s. to each adult, and 2s. 6d. to the younger and un- married employes. The tenantry on the estate have decided to present Mr. and Mrs. Assheton Smith with a congratulatory address and a wedding gift on the 17th May. THE TOP OF SNOWDON TO BE ILLUMINATED. We understand that Mr. Hugh Jones, of the Seiont Marble Works, Carnarvon, is arranging for a grand illumination and display of fireworks on the summit of Snowdon on the 17th of May (Mr. Assheton Smith's birthday). Owing to the mist that prevailed on the occasion of the marriage, the bonfire which had been kindled was not seen to advantage. We trust that on the 17th the weather will be more propitious. The portraits which it was intended to publish this week having been delayed in engraving, it was found impossible to have them xeady in time for publication. No portraits will there- fore appear.

EIVION LIBERAL ASSOCIATION. AN adjourned meeting of the Eivion Liberal Association was held at Penygroes on Thursday, the chair being occupied by J. E. Greaves (Lord- lieutenant).

Hughes, Llanrug,; William Roberts, Pwllheli; W. J. Williams (secretary), &c.—On taking the chair the Pre- sident returned thanks for the honour conferred upon him by the association, and made very op- portune remarks respecting the duty and the work of the Liberal party.-The new rules were submitted and, with a few alterations, were connrmed.—The following gentlemen were elected on the executive committee :-Messrs. John Davies (Gwyneddon), Carnarvon; R. 0. Jones, Waenfawr; W. Griffith, Portdinorwic; Revs. J. Eiddon Jones, H. Davies, Rhostryfan; J. Evans, Clynnog; J. Hughes, Edeyrn; D. E. Davies, Pwllheli; J.M.

EXTRACTS l FROM THE VERNACULAR PRESS.! Herald Cymraeg. National and Liberal, Baner ac Amserau Cymru. j Gwalia. Conservative. Genedl Gymreig. National and Liberal. MR. BATHBONK'S OBJECTIONS TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BILL. The Herald Cymraeg. adverting to Mr. Rath- bone's objections to the Local Government Bill, says:—" If the county boards are permitted to draw the greater part of their funds from the Imperial Exchequer, leaving the balance to be raised by increasing the rating authorities, the effect will be to increase rather than to relieve local taxation. The responsibility must rest with the same body of representatives. Who- ever realises all income from taxation, should also have the control of the expenditure. Taking the bill as it now stands, the ratepayer, whether he bd an owner or tenant, is utterly powerless. Mr. Rathbone expressed great anxiety with regard to this point, and referred to the serious results which might happen in consequence. How can the ratepayer. under the present ar- rangement, ascertain who imposes taxes upon him? If those clauses bearing upon taxation in general are not altered in some way or other, the burden of local rates will become in- tolerable. THR DRCEASED WIFE'S SISTER BILL. Referring to the recent vote of the House of Commons on this hill, the Baner says ;-The question now is, What will the House of Lords do ? It is clear that the House of Commons is ready to do as it did before, that is, if the Government, the chief members of which are hostile to change, does not place difficulties in the way. Is it too much to conjecture that the Lords will act according to their custom when the bid is presented to them-that is, to throw it out in order to please the episcopal bench ? Thereby an additional proof will be afforded the country of the necessity not for reforming the House of Lords, but for abohshing it altogether. May the day soon come when the chief obstacle in the way of reforms in Great Britain will be safely numbered among the things of the past." BIGOTRY OR FALSE ? The Gwalia says that the recent agitation has put temperance men to a sudden and unexpected test, and there is great danger that the temperance party in Wales, in their present thoughtlessness, will commit a great error, thereby showing that their profession of faith is merely superficial, and that they are willing to sacrifice those principles upon the altar of the bigoted party, which, in a clandestine manner. is endeavouring to prevent the country from receiving the advantages of the Local Govern- ment Bill now before Parliament. The Gwalia goes on to say that the bugbear which is dis- played before the public at the meetings held to protest against the licensing clauses is, that the Government intand to precipitate the country into a debt of £800,000,000, so as to compensate publicans," and the probability is that many persons are deceived by such a false statement It is an insult to the common sense of Welshmen to try and persuade them in a manner which, to say the least, is false, and this is brought about by persons whose political intrigue is more ardent than their temperance zeal. THE ABOLITION OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS. The Genedl, in discussing the sentiments ex- pressed in the House of Commons by Mr. William Rathbone, respecting the House of Lords, says the honourable member is not in harmony with the opinion of the vast majority of the electorate and the question of ending or mending" has been settled. No strong feeling exists in the country in favour of the hereditary principle, except amongst the Con- servatives, aod the electors of Arvon are pre- pared to prove that tact, if called upon. The House of Lords, as at present constituted, is a disgrace to Great Britain.

THE RECTOR OF DOLGELLEY AND THE TITHE. CONDITIONAL CONCESSIONS. THE payment of the tithe was fixed to take place at the Rectory last Saturday, the 21st inst. The Rector had advised the tithepayers that his circumstances would not allow him to do more than make the following abatement :— The value of the tifhe was, he said, only X84 per X100 this year, so that it was less than last year. Thus he could only reduce five cent., which, with the 16 per cent. loss, made 21 per cent. Compared with the prices of ten years ago the abatement was actually 33 per cent. To those who paid six months back without any reduction at all,,I will," added the rector, 'give this time more than five percent."

BANGOR BANKRUPTCY COURT. THURSDAY.—Before Mr. Registrar J. Glynne Jones. A BKD-RIDDKN BANKRUPT. When the name of Owen Williams, retired farmer, Rhomeigr, Anglesey, was called for his public examination, the Official Receiver (Mr. William Evans) applied for an adjournment bine die, on the ground that the bankrupt was unable to attend, and not likely to do s,).The applica- tion was granted. EXAMINATIONS CLOSED. The public examinations of the following bankrupts were closed — Kenneth MEweu, clothier, Sussex-street, Rhyl; John Owen, butcher, Bangor; and William Jones, stone- mason, Llanddeiniolen.

THE TITHE WAR. ROAD BLOCKED BY FIRE. EXCITING PROCEEDINGS. OPERATIONS were continued on Wednesday and Thursday in the neighbourhood of Llanrhaiadr, by Mr. Stevens, acting for the Ecclesiastical Commissioner, accompanied by Mr. Rooke, from London. A start was made at an early hour from the Wynnstay Arms, Ruthin, Mr. Stevens taking with him his band of emergency men and a force of police, numbering some fifteen, under the charge of Superintendent Vaughan, and Messrs. Piggott and Shaw, of Chester, as ap- praisers. In all nine farms were visited, seven for the purpose of collecting the amount of titho due, and the other two in order to levy distresses. In the morning the crowd, though noisy, did not attempt any serious outbreak, but when Glernedd Farm, in the occupation of Mr. Robert Ellis, was being ap- proached, a serious obstacle was put in the way of the further progress of Mr. Stevens and his forces. A large quantity of sticks had been collected together across the road, and when the news of the procession approaching became known, the whole collection was ignited and burst into flame. Close to the tire was erected an effigy of the vicar, and this was afterwards burnt up. There not being sufficient substanca to feed the flames they, began to die out, and Mr. Stevens and his force were able to proceed When they gained the farmhouse Mr. Ellis asked Mr. Stevens and as many others as chose to come in. lIe then brought up a Bible and Church of England Service, and said that as he only saw Mr. Stevens or any of the Church people so seldo m, he hoped he would go through the Church service with him. This caused considerable amusement to the bystanders, but Mr. Stevens simply replied that he paid his debts, and did not allow anyone to serve him with a writ, and that he should not wait- The tenant on hearing this paid up the amount due. At the last farm visited, that of Mr. Hughes, the tenant refused to pay the amouit claimed if any of the emer- gency men or the police came into the yard, so Mr. Stevens proceeded to business in the stockyard. No sooner, however, had he done this than the farmer at onca emptied out his purse on the steps for the collectors to count out the amount, and give him a receipt for it. The whole party afterwards returned to Ruthin. In all the seven cases where the tithe was to be col- lected the money was paid up, and there only now remain two tithes in that parish still due. On Thursday, Mr. Stevens commenced to levy distresses in another parish in the neighbour- hood. Mr. Peterson, the solicitor for the Clergy Defence Association, is at present in London, and it is not anticipated that he will be con- tinuing collection for some time. -0

MONUMENT.—A beautiful monument has just been erected over the grave of Mrs. Stuart, in Towyn Churchyard, byher daughter, Mrs. Griffith, widow of the Rev. John Griffith, formerly Rector of Merthyr. WELSH WESLEYANISM IN EDGE-HILL, LIVER- POOL.—The annual tea meeting in connection with the Plimsoll-street Chapel was held on Monday. In the evening, a well-attended meeting, under the chairmanship of Mr. Richard Jones (Fitzclarence-street) was held, when an eloquent lecture on Force of Character was delivered by the Rev. Hugh Jones, secretary of the North Wales District.

THE POWEH OF SENTIMENT. THE Boundary Commissioner held an inquiry last week at Machynlleth. There were several matters upon which evidence was taken, but perhaps the most important issue was that which was connected with the parish of Pennal. The district is anxious to retain its connection with the Dolgelley Union in Merionethshire. Machynlleth is, on the contrary, bringing all possible pressure to bear so as to secure its attachment to Montgomery shire. The case pro and con was fought ou with ability and good temper by Mr. WYNNE, of Peniarth, and Mr. \V. R. DAVIES, Dolgelley, for the Merioneth Union and by the chairman and the clerk of the Machynlleth Board for the Montgomery people. Pennal is near Mach- ynlleth, say these latter advocates: to continue with Merioneth will nuan a long and expensive jaunt to a place which is many times the distance that need be traversed if Pennal folk would only listen to reason. Is not Mach- ynlleth the market town of the district ? And so on, with volubility and point. Pennal, through the mouth of its chosen representatives retorts: All you say is very true, III we prefer Dolgelley. The Merioneth ounty rate 11 y is not as high as Montgomery; we are Welsh and Montgomery is English to a great extent; and to lug jurors to the Montgomery assize town would be a decided hardship. The Commissioner listened very patiently to all the ramifications of the special pleaders, except when they touched on the question of nation- ality. Mr. DAVIES had anticipated (it would seem) that he would here meet with rather flinty response, and he was not mistaken in his calculation. The Com- missioner smiled sardonically. He was a3 good a specimen of a capable investigator of facts as one would wish and as courteous as he was businesslike. Still it was plain that he had no love for this point of sentiment. Mr. DAVIKS and Mr. WYNNE did not cry "peccavi;" they hit the nail all the harder, and shewed that in these matters of county re-arrangement it will not do to ignore the sentimental plea. Mr. DAVIES even waxed pathetic-and that is saying a good deal for a lawyer who is also clerk to half a dozen public bodies Surely, in a matter of this kind, Mr. Moss must admit that Pennal people have a right to ask to be allowed to have a voice in the regulation of their own welfare. They are of necessity good judges of what will best suit them. Parishes are not to be 'bought and sold' any more than)persons, merely to gratify a geometrical whim of proportion There has been a good deal too much of this attempted in Welsh affairs in days goae by. Men who mount on stilts and decry true senti- ments in others are frequently the most. melancholy victims of false sentiment. The most vindictive opponent of Welsh nationality in Wales whom we know-who believes in nothing and nobody but himself and hates sentiment—writes tracts on sentimental subjects with a watery eye. How can anyone blame the Pennal people for wishing to retain their old lines" of county division when it is borne in mind that they have public duties as civilians to discharge, which will require:the most solid exercise of intelligence—that this intelligence with them must find a Welsh vehicle of ex- pression and that, as Montgomeryshire has so much admixture of English, to tack Pennal on to it would be to intercept their usefulness or altogether warp its exercise. We are here dealing simply with the" sentimental" ground of protest-the economical and fiscal argument must be left to speak for themselves in another column. Macbynileth urged its case with force and courtesy; but Pennal, nevertheless, abides the issue of Mr. Moss's report with a con- fidence in his fairness and judgment which, we trust, will not prove misplaced.

ADDITIONAL VOLUNTEER CORPS. AT the Dolgelley Cricket Club dinner, last week, Major BEST, the Chief-constable,referred to a subject which is already exciting interest in many circles of the country. He said that Merionethshire possessed no volunteer corps- it was almost the only county in the kingdom which he knew of that figured so inconspicuously in military annals. The gallant officer was on a favourite theme and counselled the immediate formation of a Volunteer force for the district or the county, and we understand that there is every likelihood that the move- ment will be taken up without loss of time. Mr. J. C. HUGHES, solicitor, Dolgelley, is intimately associated with the matter, and rumour (here pretty reliable) has it that Mr OWEN (Hengwrt), Mr. MORRIS JONES (Plas- ucha), and Mr. ROBERT VAUGHAN (Nannau), are to be asked to act as officers of the local contingent. Bala, Corwen, Barmouth, Towyn, Aberdovey,Machynlleth,and Penrhyn are relied upon to take the matter in hand with spirit,and in another year we may expect to see the red- coats marching on the heights of Harlech once again, with swords at their sides, but pipes in their pockets, and peace in their hearts, and smiles on their faces. Playing at soldiering is very pretty and very safe; it is capital exercise in muscles and patriotism, helps to weave social ties, and is quite harmless, provided it keeps men out of the public-house and does not drive theai into it, and provided also that it is not a too expensive luxury. The development of the matter will be watched with no ungenial interest. It is important, it is essential, that the younger and more active generation which is growing around us should not be left to drag along lives of isolation. The library, the concert, the newsroom, the lecture, are becoming more than ever necessities of the time. Men want to know more, and to mix more with each other. The angles of individuality must be rubbed off; we become broader, and keener, and more trustful, and! humanised as we blend healthfully with our kind. The monastic spirit might do for the twelfth century; it is out of date in the nine- teenth. "Barebones" figured eccentrically in the days of CROMWELL despite his iron will and conscience; in the aineteenth he would be absolutely intolerable. We do not want to sink our differential faculties or qualities as persons or as a people, but we want to drink deeper draughts of the sociable spirit, which, after all, is the salvation of communities. Merionethshire (and we say it with regret) is lacking in strong means of social intercourse outside the chapel and the church, and we lose proportionately. Upon the subject of a volunteer corps we neet nod enlarge. Had our well-wisher, Major BEST, known us better he would not have been so much surprised,perhaps, at our past indifference to the volunteer spirit. We are not a nation of tailors or of henchmen, or always hankering after a sight of the mili- tary" nor do we aspire to write our names with blank cartridges any more than with gun- powder. The use to which the Welsh military has lately been put is not calculated to generate greater esteem for the regular or irregular forces. War with women and attacks upon a peace-loving peasantry are not the credentials of valour. Still, the aim of both Major BEST and his coadjutors in this Merioneth connec- tion is pure and true enough and we may be sure that there will be no effort wanting on their part to ensure efficiency, discipline, and economy.

ABERGELE. THE TnIAWR SALE. — We understand that the sale at Tymawr, Towyn, Abergele, on Thurs- day, by Mr. W. Llew Griffith, proved very successful. The stock fetched over £40J, milch cows averaging £H); heifers, S13 10s.; two- year old bullocks, X14 5s., and the implements, carts, &c., went at high prices.

MENAI BRIDGE. DEATH OF CAPTAIN TIMOTHY,—Manj^of our readers will regret to hear of the death of Capt. William Timothy, which event took place last Monday fit his residence, Rock House Vaults. He had been in the employ of the City of Dublin Steamship Company for some years, and came to reside here about ten years a^o, and was well kn )wn. He was in his 55th year. li's remains were interred on Thursday last.

BIOGRAPHY IN SUNDAY SCHOOLS. PAPER BY A LATE CARNARVON RESIDENT. THR Scottish Guardian publishes the following paper, read before the Aberdeen Diocesan Sunday School Union, by Miss Kate Rees, iormerly of Carnarvon, daughter of the late Mr. James ltees. founder and for many years proprietor of the Herald, Miss Rees, it will be remembered, held a leading place at one time on the editorial staff of this journal:— When asked by our e-teemed secretary to write a paper to be read at this meeting, I felt great doubt whether I could comply with the request, for apirt from a strong suspicion of my incompetency for any undertaking of the sort, I surmised that the field presented by Snndav School work had already been so carefully reaped by those who had read papers before this Union that no stray ears would be left for such a gleaner as I to gather. A friend, however, suggested that I might say something about the use of Biography in the classes, as a means of forming thfoo characters of our boys and girls, so as to help tii em to grow up into good men and womei, not merely as feeb'e copies, or reflections of others, but, as Mozley expresses it, out of their own roots." St meone says" the strongest influence in the world is that which results fiom contact with greater per- sonalities," in illustration of which truth we have but to glance back into history, sacred and secular In Scripture we may note the education of Joshua, of Klisha, of Timothy, above all, of the twelve men whom our Lord chose to be with Him:" what wonder that out of the daily intercourse of that last mentioned training arose, in due time, such results In Roman life we have in Marcus Aurelius an instance of how a young character is moulded into a maturity of grand simplicity and into intellectual and moral streagth under homo example and tutorial influence and in our own example and tutorial influence and in our own days we have seen how the self-devotion, high teach- ing, and man'y force of an Arnold remodelled the long established false code of school-boy honour, and awoke among our public schoolmasters a deeper sense of responsibility towards, and sympathy with their pupils. Even a passing glance at greatness or good- ne s may strike a chord in human hearts that would otherwise have remained silent; and almost meaning- less, even contemptible though it may be in many cases, it is doubtless traceable to a true instinct that men press forward to touch the hem of the garment, or grasp the hand of one who, by the exer ne of some great gift, or the doing of some migh'; eed, Is lifted high, Conspicuous object in the nation's eye." There is therefore no question as to the immense educating power of character, nor as to the ines- timable benefit to be derived from contact with those who lead noble lives But this privilege of having personal intim&cy with earth's best is not given to the miny, and we can scarcely think it to be one largely enjoyed by the children in our school-. How then shall we teachers do our part to supply the de- ficiency ? Longfellow's words are familiar to us,- Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime." And Rrowning says: The highest function of art is the perpetuation of the influence of great personali- ties Here, then, through the gates of literature, the way lies open before us and no narrow way is it in these days when biographies of the great and good are abundant, and when the lives and letters of humble Christians, who, attending to the mild affairs of ordinary life," are brought before the eyes of the public no less than those of men and women who covet fame, with effect possibly even more far- reaching than the brilliant perform nces of more ex- ceptional persons. But perhaps some one may ask. How are we to use these books ? Are we to read them in the Sunday School instead of the Bible? I would earnestly deprecite such a practice Sunday Schools were established directly and specially for the teach- ing of the Bible; the same, if not greater need than ever exists for this teaching, and I think it behoves Sunday School teachers to be more strictly loyal to this object than I am inclined to think they uni- versally are. In some cases the pleasant story-book has altogether superseded the Bible; in others, an abstract of the Bible stories is used, as being more suited to the taste and convenience of teacher and taught. But though we may not dispense with the Bible, we may b til wark and enforceits teachings by selectionfrom materials lying around us. We may show that it is no antiquated played-out book," but that it still holds the mirror up to nature," that its men and women were, as are the men and women of our own days that, as has often been said, human nature is still in its essentials what it was when Adam delved and Eve span that Eliezer and Joseph were what we want our servants to be that the royal virtues and wise policy of King Jehosaphat were very much like those of cur Saxon Alfred or Plantagenet Edward. Then reversing our method, we may turn to our ShaH espere, or modern authors, and illustrate the beauty of filial love by the stories of Cordelia, of Elizabeth of Siberia, of Lady Grizel Baillie. Could our boys have a better iliustration of Solomon's I assurance that the righteous are bold as a lion than I, presented by the manly courage and the simple trust in God of Dr. Livingstone ? or of the meaning that may underlie the gift of a cup of water than in the dying act of Sir Philip Sidney? What could appeal with a. stronger fascination to a lad's i nagination than the varied and picturesque scenes, and hair-breadth escapes to be found in such a career as that of General Gordon? or to the yet nobler side of his nature than that hero's life- devotion to the unloosing of the bands of wickedness, to the undoiug of heavy burdens, the letting of the oppressed go free," and the breaking of every yoke ? If the story of Robinson Crusoe should have so wrought on its youthful readers as to stimu- late many of them to try an experience of solitary life—which for the comfort of anxious mothers, it may be said, was always of the briefest-why should not the higher lessons of noble lives, if properly treated, be equally, nay, infinitely more productive of resnlt ? In thus wandering forth into the wide world to seek for stimulating food for the young we undertake to feed, I think we have to be careful to trace back the stream to its source, the human virtue to the Divine Essence; and so perhaps it were best to choose our heroes and heroines from the ranks of those who have confessed that though with- out Christ they could do nothing, with Him all things were possible to them. At the same time we need not refrain from laying before our scholars those wondrous instances of Seekers after God" in the dark ages, before the Day dawned, and the Day Star arose t, be the light of the world, if only we duly point out that the pat- riotism of a Marcus Curtius, the patience and wisdom of an Epictetus, and the generous high- mindednes of a Saladin were all broken lights re- fracted from the Father of Lights, Who never left Himself without a witness, and has over and over again shown His gracious power of making lilies to grow among thorns, and the desert to blossom as the rose." In conclusion, I wonder whether I shall incur a charge of egotism if I venture to say that, though no man can be a hero to his own valet, every teacher should try to be something of the sort to his or her class -should try by self-devotion to the work, by intelligence and thoroughness to draw out of his or her scholars those feelings of respect and affection which it is natural and good for the yonng to feel towards those who are their superiors in age, in attainments, in relative position so that each one may be, if not exactly a hero or heroine to those they meet Sunday after Sunday, at least a strong stimulus to the pursuit of whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good report.
