THE GALE. WRECKS AND GREAT LOSS OF LIFE. EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO PROPERTY. The awful hurricane of Saturday, which seems to have been so genial in its effects over the whole country-, swept over .North Wales with terrific fury, great damage to property on land and used a deplorable loss of life at sea. It commenced soon after mid- night oil Fridav, and increased in in- tensity, so that hy dawn on Saturday the wind 'roared over land and sea at from 80 to 90 miles an tour. Various accounts are given fmm different, places of the direction of the wind. It blew over Holyhead from the W N W. in other places it was a N.W. and veered round in several places on t!t" seaboard to S.W., whilst in some towns if seemed as if it was coming from all direc- tum 8.
ALARMING COLLISION OFF HOLYHEAD.
ALARMING COLLISION OFF HOLYHEAD. On Friday morning, Holyhead was thrown into a state of considerable excitement. Early that morning, about 2.45, the Royal mail steamer Aluiister," Captain Thomson, sailed with about 250 passengers and mails. She was about fifteen miles out when a large steamer was observed coming head on. tow- wards her. The stranger dashed into the mCiiJ boat on the port side, forward of the epoiti's'un, unmasking the paddle-box, and smasliiing íill one of the air-tight compart- ments, which rapidly filled with water. The "Munster" shivered, and reeled under the stroke, which was felt in tlie remotest part, of the sihip. Fortunately, she was struck in the strongest or she would, possibly, liave gone down. Captain Thompson, after ascertaining the nature and extent of the injury, turned the ship's hejwl back for Boly- head. She proceeded with one paddle-wheel, occupying about five hours in returning. After staying a little while the other steamer disappeared in the darkness, without maiding making known her identity. The passengers and nm'iils were tranefeitred to the Royal Mail Ste;mner Connaught," which proceed- ed to Kingstown at 10 o'clock. Captain Cii.,r, R.N., superintendient of the City of Dublin Steaan R-icka Company, at Holyhead, had the mails, pa^sengets, luggage, and numerous j paroefe, transferred with remarkable alacri- < ty to the outgoing «te\'wner. ( The City of Dublin Steam Packet Com- pany's steamers, wliidh have carried tlic mails for over 30 years, have enjoyed a wonderful immunity from accidents, as they are well officered, a splendid look-out being kept, and carrying an abundant supply of lights to prevent ooliiisdon. Much sin-pri^e, locally, was expressed at the accident. We refrain, however, from expresning any opinion on the msitteir, ifniasimieh as the collision will, doubt- less, be the subject of a Board of Trade in- quiry, when the matter will be thoroughly investigated. One passenger who came on deck immedi- ately before the collision, describing the situa- tion at the moment, said -"I heard a whisde on the port side, and at the same time I heard two firemen who were standing by the side shout 'Great God, she is into us I was on the main deck at the time, and I instantly rushed upon the bridge. Juse as I reached the top I saw a green light and huge sail looming up in the darkness, as I thought almost over me. I Kin towards the opposite side of the bridge, and just as I was about half way across there came a fearful grinding crash behind me. I was thrown forward against the rail as the 'Munster' heeled over to the blow, and glancing hi k I sa.w the huge hows of It tn >r sh-r through the port paddle-box and sweep half of it into the sea. The vessel seemed to me to become entangled with the wreckage of our wheel, and swung round with her stem towards ours. She hung in this position for what I judge to be half a minute. The mate of our vessel ran to the side to ascertain the name of the ship that had run. into us, but no reply was given to our hail, and everything was silent on board on her. In a few seconds the two vessels parted on the heave of a wave, and I the mate then called to the stranger to stand by us." 1 The crew d the "Munster" er,mplain that the unknown vessel, without disclosing her name or waiting for word that all was well, left their side and proceeded up Channel. The passengers behaved with much coolness, but the continuing list to starboard, which was really their safety, caused them consider- able uneasiness, the prevailing apprehension being that the vessel would topple over. THE COLLIDING VESSEL AT LIVER- POOL. On Friday night, there arrived in the Mer- sey the steamer "River Avon," which had been in collision with the "Munster." The "River Avon" has arrived from Aguillass, with a cargo of esparto grass. The steamer bears extraordinary indications of the force ) of the impact, having a hole in her starboard bow well up to the rail. Half-way down the stem is a very large wedge-shaped hole, which, judging from appearances, extends right into the forecastle, and within three feet of the water's edge.
THE MARQUIS OF ANGLESEY'S…
THE MARQUIS OF ANGLE- SEY'S CARRIERS. I Not often do two days so good as Saturday end Tuesday last occur in sequence. The former, perhaps, showed the hounds to better advantage, and certainly called on them more, but on Tuesday we had the good fortune to run down a clinking hare, which stood up for an hour and a half over a line easy for the field; scent being good, the pace throughout was uncommonly fast. Rhosbotham was the centre for Saturday. We found close to the farm in a plough, and ran a ring down to Llwynogan and back, then making for Gaer- wen. Short of Gaerwen, puss doubled back, and eventually hounds changed to a fresh hare. Afterwards recovering the original line, they drove her out of the plough, to which we had returned, and up towards Llan- ddaniel. Beween there and Hologwyn, there was a good deal of work, scent having turned very catchy, and there is little doubt that an- other change occurred. The prospect of a kill now appeared dubious, but hounds were eager for blood, and afier two hours and twenty-five minutes they pinned puss in a pool by the roadside a little below Tyddyn Clwarch. Not many of us were in at the death, nor attended the obsequies. The weather on Tuesday was quite a matter ] )f taste. One distinguished sportsman called j it the sort of day for a hot brandy and water at every fence. Another, equally distin- guished, experienced, and keen, found it ielightfully cool. Everyone, however, agreed that the sport was of the very best OT even better. The meet was at Penmynydd Alms- houses, and considering it was blowing half a gale-somewhere from the North Pole, to judge by its cut—the field was good. We viewed puss stealing from the bog, while drawing a bit further down. His lordship gave a most expressive view holloa, and soon had hounds on, but puss was over a further fence of a big Anglesey field before they had covered the near one, and had, therefore, plenty of law. Any uncertainty as to what scent might prove was soon disposed of, for the pack went away as hard as they could travel, in full chorus, in a ring round Bodynys Farm, doing the four miles in twenty inin- utes. Through the bog again, puss gained a bit by the usual dodging tactics, but hounds worked beautifully, and soon took up the line leading from the Almshouses corner of the bog, over a similar but a wider ring than the first. After completing three-fourths of the circle, puss, perhaps having laid up, or being pressed, swung back to the bog over the old ground, ran to the further end, dodged about a bit, made Dvffrvn, and came back by Cetn- v.oeth and Tv'nybuarih to the bog, where she was killed, just below Bodvnys, after a hard run of an hour and thirty-five minuted [Poor puss! However, in meeting deatla she gained comparative immortality, for ship, who ought to know, L? not' that, as a pure sporting day, it is not the best he has seen in his life. Without committm myself definitely, I thing I can recollect two or three similar ones during the last few years, but one of the best it may well be, and it surely is the crack run of the *eason bringing us up to nineteen and a half brace Yes, indeed !—"Green]acket, in the Field. -———— u

_-BANGOR AND BEAUMARIS UNION.:
BANGOR AND BEAUMARIS UNION. The last meeting of the above board un- der the olid dispensotiioo was held on Friday, Mr Hugih Thomas presiding. AN EXPLANATION.—Mr William Ed-, ward", Glasinfryu, by permission of the board, made a pezBoniatl explanation respect- ing a newspaper report of the proceedings of the board in regard to tha action of the boaacding-out eomaniUbee. The report said: It was, however, observed that in the case of one boy recognised as a Nonconformist, I he was placed with a Church of England famaly." MA* Edwatrds explained at some length that there was no undue influence in the matfctex. The boy, John Roberts, was in their care, and: he (MT Edwards) found him a comfortable home at Felinheii. The boy, however, was a cripple, and he (Mr Edwards) adsvis.ed the foster parents to see him before they tok him. They did so, and decided! n!dt to take him. A few afterwards, it turned out that the Church party found a home for the boy, and he (Mr Edwardis) as a Noncooiformdst, must say that he was one of the first to agree that. After that another boy, Thomas Rowlands, was Bent, as a Church of? Englaml boy, to a Church of England widiow. She, however, could not manage him, and he (Mr Edwards) thought it would be better to send the boy tie the home at Felinihen, where it had been intended to send John Roberts. Lady Pen- rhyn called to see him about the matter, when he expleined <jo her ladyship that this boy was a Church of England boy, while the persons he proposed to send hia-i to were Nonconformists, but Lady Penrhyn willingly agreed to their request, after having had the circumstances of the case explained to her. From this it would be seen that it was not rigiht that mich an impression as that there was any undue influence brought to bear in the case should' go forth. He did not. see but that he would do the same thing again. —Mr J. E. Roberts explained that the boarding-o<ut committee had no intention of saving that any undue influence had been ) brought to bear, neither did they wish to make any reflection, but the matter was raised on the committee's report. VOTES OF THANKS.—Mr Hairy Clegg thought it ww oaiiy right on that occasion that the boafrd should express its gratitude to the chairman on the admirable way in which he had. cond ucted the business of the board for many years. He was sure they all knew the chairman's heart was in his work (hear, hear). He had given everybody every facility to inquire into any matter that came befcTe him, an dhad himself taken a great deal of trouble to inquire as to the best manner of working the board, and for this the guardians and the union were greatly indeJbted to him (cheers). As a dying guard- ian—(JaugHilter)—he (Mr Clegg) could onlv say that. if tthe succeeding board gave as good a cfliairman, then he was sure the union would not fail to perform its proper duties (hear, hear). He begged most sincerely to propose that the beat thanks of the board be given to the chairman for the manner in which he had performed his duties.—Mr J. E. Ro- berts s-econd-ed the motion, which was sup- ported by Mr H. BulkeSley Price, and car- ried unanimously.—The Chairman, in reply, thanked them for the kind and flattering manner in wthich they had acknowledged his services on that board. He also thanked them for the great assistance they had given him in carrying out the work of the board for many yearns. Of course, it was impos- sible to please everybody, but he had en- deavoured always to do his duty and to re- ceive the approbation of his colleagues like that at the last meeting of the board was Something overwhelming to him. He had had the pileasure of being guardian for 20 yeans, together with Mr R. Roberts, the viice-chainman, and during eleven years he had had the honour and pleasure of pre- sidling over the board. There were three black spots during those three years which he could not now remove. He had missed three meetings of the board during thar. period (cheers). He thanked them liartily for their kind expressions, and added that he might point out to them that the next board would have the power to elect four members firom outside, viz., the chairman, one vice- chairman, and two ordinary members.—On j the motion of Mr W. Edwards, votes of thanks were passed to the vice-chairmen and chairmen of committees, and to the ex-officio members of the board for their valuable ser- vices. Replying on behalf of the ex-officio members, Mr Clegg said he had frequently noticed the absence of a clock from the board-room, and, being of opinion that some- thing ooghtt to be done by way of commem- orating that occasion, he should have much pleasure, with their permission, to present them with a clock to be hung up in the board-room (applause).

WRECKS OFF HOLYHEAD.—LOSS…
WRECKS OFF HOLYHEAD.—LOSS OF EIGHT LIVES. On Saturday, a barque was observed at Holrhead, at 9.30 a.m., running in outside the breakwater under bare poles, the canvajs being all blown away from seaward. A tug- boat went out, but" evidently could not get near her on account of the heavy sea. At ten a.m. she stranded on the outside of the break- water at the bend near the lighthouse. The life-saving apparatus, under the charge of Mr Murch. chief office of the coastguards, un- mediately proceeded to her assistance. The barque proved to be the "Kirk Michael," gf Liverpool, bound from that port to Melbourne with a general cargo. The sea at the time was teiiitic. and tne sprays were rising in clouds ■over the breakwater. Her main-topgallant must went overboard on striking. When the life-saving apparatus arrived great difficulty ■w.-sa experienced in effecting communication lwtweell the ship and the breakwater, the sea breaking with terrible force over the ship and the breakwater and blinding those who tried to effect a rescue. Eventually communica- tion was gained at the fore end of the vessel, but to no effect. Again with great skill the loaded line was hove aft, and eleven of the rew were thereby safely brought ashore, the maacer (Captain Jones) being the last man who came ashore. The mate and second mate, who were in the mizen rigging, refused to come ashore, and also the steward, who -was in the cabin. After the captain landed, a vcung man named Will. R. Jones, of N ewry- .street, Holyhead, volunteered to go on board to assist the two men who were in the rig- ging. A coastguard officer named Hunt also volunteered to co on board to assist. Before they could reach the mizen rigging one ot tne men who was there fell on the deck dead, They succeeded in getting the second mate down, but he was in so exhausted a condition Siat he immediately died. The steward stall positively refused to come ashore. Eventually the two men, Jones and Hunt, came ashore in ,L very exhausted condition. Thus eleven lives were saved and seven lost, and the steward -r emained aboard. Too much credit and praise cannot be given Dr E. 'T. Hughes, Mr Murch. and Captain Roberts (sub. Lloyds -,rent), and others for their assistance in the rescuing of the men. Dr Hughes especial y rendered very valuable assistance in receiv- ing the men when brought ashore and attend- ing to their wants, he having taken with him to the spot all that was necessary for the re- covery of the men. Great praise is also due to W. R. Jones and Coastguard Hunt for their valiant and brave conduct in going aboard the •xliip to assist the unfortunate men. The crew were taken to the Sailors' Home, where they were attended to by Dr Hughes, Dr Jones, and Dr Fox Russell. The coastguards and Customs officials and all that were on the breakwater exhibited gr< at willingness in ■doin;; all they possibly could to save the lives of the poor seamen. The stranded vessel is now in charge of Captain Jones, Lloyd's ugent. and the master. The following is a list of the men saved: -Captain Jones, James Alexander (apprentice), of South hhielus, .Jacob Menioa (A.B.), Wilkinson, of Marypo f'-arpenter); Fred Gilbert, .Stockholm; J • A. Long, of Warwick; E. Downing, of Bris- ri:l; E.J. Wahlier, G. A. Erskme, of Belfast; C. L. Coma, Jersey; L. Lampam (A.B.), of Newry. On landing, the captain and crew that on Thursday night the ship had left the Mersey in tow. At two o'clock on^tur- dav morning, the towrope had foiled lth result that as sails were not hoisted she ^was at, the mercy of the waves. She dni" most) in an unmanageable condition, ult- mately going ashore on the Holyhead water, as above described. The miseing members of the crew had droppedin some ■•ctses from the rigging and on to the decK, being instantly killed, and the others were washed away by the heavy seas. The names -(If the missing men are —Mr Dickson (first mate), Mr McCubbin, Glasgow (second mate); Martin Richardson, Lipscombe (ap- prentice); Richard Lee (A.B.), Ready, o Liverpool (sailmaker), and two other app1^1*" ticea. Onr No. 1 lifeboat crew (Mr William Owen, coxswain) attempted to render assis- tance at considerable peril to their 1 The heroic conduct of the captain or the Hinall tug "British King" is worthy of all Praise, Captain Bibby displayed noble daring and made repeated efforts to render assistance and would onlv abandon the attempt when he had nearly sacrificed the lives of his own ,Tew and lost the tugboat of which he had charge. Eve-witnesses speak in glowing oerms of Captain Bibby's gallantry. The steward of the "Ivirk Michael" was on Sunday morning safely landed. Five of the bodies have been recovered. On Monday, Dr Roland P. Williams and a jury. of which Mr John Ellis, Troas, was foreman, held an inquest on the bodies of live of the crew, namely, Dixon ("^st "i.. McCubbin (second mate), Lee (A.B.), Kic ardson and Lipscombe (apprentices wlio "were identified by the captain Wilkinson (carpenter), Joseph Lamkm and George A. Erskin.e. William R. Jones, 3, Ive^street, the young man who had volunteered to go on board the ship, also gave evidence at the ie- quest of the jury, which corresponded with rise captain's, aid was of a very thrilling r- r, (I vouching nature. The foreman of the jiir *i:ske(I the press to state that the young "man William R.Jones had not circulated the story that the steward was under the in- fluence of drink. A verdict of "Accidental <le<ith" was returned. On the motion of Mr David Rowlands, 33, Newiy-street, and Mr Jones Hughes, tailor and draper, the jury warmly commended the daring bravery 0 £ William R. Jones in risking his life in con- nection with this disastrous shipwreck. The barque "Titania," of Norway, laden with coals, was also seen at eleven a.m. drag- -ing. The lifeboat "Joseph Whit worth," in charge of Coxswain Edward Jones, which had y been called to the assistance of the "Kirk Michael," but owing to the ter- rible sea and the continual flooding of the boat, find failed to get round the breakwater, and had returned to the old harbour, then took on board the crew of the other boat, and proceeded to the assistance of the "Titan- ia," which by this time was stranded on Pen- rhPH Point. The lifeboat succeeded in saving all the crew and landed them on Penrhos beach, where ti e lifeboat now remains in- shore of the wreck, and cannot possibly be taken away until the weather moderates. The "Titania" is a total wreck. The barquentine "Valhalla," of Norway, laden with coals, from Glasgow for Vera Oruz, anchored in the outer roads, was ob- rierve I dragging at ten a.m. Immediately -Y the lifeboat "Thomas Fielden," in charge of Coxswain William Owen, was launched, and wenr to render assistance. The vessel .stranded on Penrhos Point. The sea run- ning terribly high, the coxswain was com- pelle 1 to run the boat ashore, after landing the vessel's crew. At three p.m., the cox- swain took 15 fresh hands and successfully launched the boat, but owing to the terrific gale and high sea the boat filled several times, and it. appeared to the coxswain at first that he li"(I lost some of the men. Fortunately, all had held fast, but they lost seven oars. Eventually, with great skill and good pilot- age. the boat was safely got round Penrhos Point and beached on a fine, muddy bottom, the boat having sustained no injury. The coxswain intended floating her on Sunday. The "Valhalla" will become a total wreck. The crews of the Norwegian barquentine .p,d barque gre cared fpr by the Norwegian and Swedish' Consulate, Captain Parry. The Shipwrecked Mariners' Society, of which Captain Parry is the agent, is an excellent institution, sending the seamen, in cases of destitution, to their homes, and providing them with an outfit. Commander Clapp, R.N. (Queen's Harbour-master), and Captain Jones (Lloyd's agent) evinces a kindly in- terest in the crews at the Sailors' Home. SCHOONER ASHORE IN MOELFRA BAY. On Saturday evening, the three-masted schooner "John Wignell," of Fleetwood, from Charleston to Fleetwood, with china clay, whilst anchored in Moelfra Bay, dragged her anchors. Being in imminent danger of driv- ing ashore, signals, which were unanswered, were made for a tugboat. The Moelfra life- boat rescued the crew. The schooner even- tually went ashore under the tableland, and is a total wreck. It is feared another schooner haa gone down with all hands near Moelfra. A CARNARVON SCHOONER IN DISTRESS. Telegraphic communication between Ramsey, the Isle of Mau, and- the mainland was greatly interfered with owing to the storoi. On Friday morning the Raiu- sey lifeboat crew saved the crews of two vessels which were in danger several miles off land. The sea was so heavy that the lifeboat rode five hours in the gale and finally had to land the crews at Laxey. One vessel was the Margaret Jones," of Car- narvon, and the other the schooner 11 Excel- sior," of Chester. The latter was dismasted, but was got into harbour. The Margaret Jones drifted away, and disappeared. WRECK OF A WELSH STEAMER IN THE ISLE OF MAN. At about half-past .evM on Saturday morning, it being high water at the time, the three-masted iron screw steamer "Syl- faen," of Liverpool, 169 tons register, Wil- liam Hamilton, master, owned by Messrs Kneeshaw and Lupton, bound from Kings- town to Troon, in ballast, went ashore at Jurby Point. She grounded on a sandy beach, and as the tide receded the crew was rescued by the people of the neighbourhood. The steamer is likely to become a total wreck. THE IRISH MAIL STOPPED. The Irish mail from Holyhead to London had an unprecedented experience on Saturday morning. The train had attained a very high rate of speed, but on coming across the Isle of Anglesey, the engine met the full force of the hurricane. The driver tried more steam pressure, but the engine could make no head- way, and it is said was completely stopped. After a lapse of 20 minutes it was able to proceed slowly. CARNARVON. The tremendous gale which blew all Fri. day night and throughout Saturday was very severely felt in Carnarvon and district. The steamer "Maynower," plying between Anglesey and Carnarvon, was unable to make its earlier passages with the result that a large number of dealers and others bound for the Christmas market were put to considerable inconvenience. A chimney stack attached to the Welsh Tobacco Works fell with a crash, and similar mishaps occurred in other parts of the town, while a number of trees were uprooted at Glynllifou Park and fell across the main road between Carnarvon and Clynnog. DENBIGH. At Denbigh, suoh a storm has never been known, and in the exposed parts of the hilly portion of the town, people were afraid to sleep at night, the dwellings being literally rocked by the wind. Great damage was done to roofs, and chimneys were demolished in all directions. The roof of the new church at Denbigh, just completed, was damaged. FLINT. At Flint and the estuary of the Dee the lforce of the wind was enormous, and a good deal of damage to property has been done. In the west side of the town the houses suff- ered the most, many having their water spout- ing torn off and otherwise looking in a de- molished state. One large house, the resi- dences of Dr J. Humphrey Williams and the Rev Josiah Jones, suffered terribly, the large chimney being blown down. The Connah's Quay ship captains and crews had great diffi- culty in mooring their vessels strong enough to hold them through the storm. HOLYWELL. Daybreak on Saturday morning revealed the streets of Holywell strewed with slates blown from the roofs of the houses by the ter- rific hurricane, and more than one hair- breadth escape is reported. An old lady named Mrs Warburton, of Bagillt, whilst walking along the streets was lifted by the wind off her feet and dashed with great force on the gtfound, sustaining severe injuries. The most striking incident that occurred was that at Bryntirion Villa, Brynford-street, Holywell. About half-past nine on Saturday morning, a squall struck the north-west gable, breaking off short a chimney-stack some nine or ten feet high, which fell through the roof, and tumbled in a solid mass into two bed- xoori43. Fortunately the occupants, Mrs Josephus Williams and the members of her family, had left the room a little time before the accident happened. LLANDUDNO. At seven o'clock on Saturday morning, the Llandudno lifeboat was signalled to a fishing smack in the bay, the "Scotia," Hoylake. The crew had great difficulty in launching the boat, but got out quickly and' rescued four hands. The master of a smack said it was the roughest night he ever remembers at sea. MOSTYN. The gale was attended with considerable damage and loss to the shipping off Mostyn. Owing to the stress of weather, about seventy crafo of all sizes have been for the past few days anchored in the wild roads. The gale, which blew from the north-west, was felt by them with great force, even in that safe anchorage, and by eight o'clock on Saturday morning, four schooners and a number of flats had dragged their anchors, and drifted up the river, stranding on the sandbanks on the Flintshire side, between Mostyn and the Greenfield and Bagillt Quays. The seas ran mountains high, the open sea beyond the Dee being one seething mass of foam. RHYL. One of the fiercest storms ever known blew at Rhyl on Saturday morning. The tide was in, and the waves were blown mountains high on the shore, while the sand was blowing in drifts on the promenade, and traffic was impossible. A party of gentlemen, in- cluding Mr Alun Lloyd, solicitor, and Mr Partington, junior, were watching the pro- gress of a vessel out at sea, when a sudden gust tore loose one of the corrugated iron fences which are placed rcund the grass plots to keep the sand off and blew it in the direc- tion of the group. The terrible clatter startled the party, who had just time to scramble out of the way when the huge ob- stacle swept past them. Fortunately no vehicles were about, or a serious accident would have occurred. The streets were strewn with chimney-pots and slates, and numerous tradesmen's signs were blown down. A large one was blown off the top of Wel- lington Chambers, falling with a crash on the ornamental verandah underneath, and smash- ing the glass. On the Rhyl coast the gale was most disastrous. The dredger belonging to Mr Jones and used at the Faryel Harbour, was beached by the Winter Gardens, and by its side the flat "Catherine" was driven ashore and damaged. The other vessels in the har- bour were also affected by the storm. Great fears were entertained for the safety of the enbankment which is being erected for the new marine lake, but its stability was thor- oughly proved by the fact that all is safe. About five o'clock in the evening signals sum- moning the lifeboat crew were fired from the pier, a vessel being in distress on the West Isle by Prestatyn. The lifeboat from Rhyl harbour was brought on its carriage through the town to the east of the pier. The surf was found so heavy that, coupled with the weight of the boat and the soft sand, it was impossible to get the boat off. The men did all they could to launch the boat, but failed. VALE OF CLWTD. The hurricane raged1 during the whole of Friday night in the Vale of Clwyd, visiting Denbigh and Ruthin with great severity. Rain fell in torrents, quckly swelling the 9irm dwyd and JSItvj to mighty cut-route L -1 inundating the vale for many miles. The wind blew with terrific force, dismantling houses and hurling about slates and bricks, to the great danger of the public. William Jones was struck by a falling brick, and lies in a precarious condition, his head being greatly injured.

---RUTHIN BOARD OF GUARDIANS.
RUTHIN BOARD OF GUARDIANS. The fiual meeting of the Ruthin Board of Cruardiaus was heid on Monday, Mr Owen i Williaws, Gianclwydd, presiding. Cordial votes of thanks were passed to the chairman, toe vice chairmen, the Rev J. F. Reece, and Mr John Roberts, Plas Siors, and Mr R. P. Davies, vice-chairman of the sanitary authority.-Ou the motion of the Rev J. F. Reece. seconded by Mr John Jones, Plas-yn- llan, the board decided to put on record its appreciation of the ahle services rendered to the board during the* last 22 years by Mr R. Humphreys Roberts, solicitor, of Denbigh, the clerk. In the course of an address Mr Humphreys Roberts stated that there were only hve members of the board in 1880 now livin, and of the twelve ex-officio guardians who were present at the board meeting in 1873, when he was appointed clerk, only two were now living. He should say that the ex-officios did not attend to vote for his election, but for that of his friend Mr Wil- liam Lloyd. It was always a noted fact that the ex-officios had attended very well when there was an official to appoint. In the half-year ending Lady Day, 1870, the con- tributions by the parishes for poor few purposes were £6000, the out-door paupers numbered 1178, and the in-door 127. The cost of out-door relief per head of the popula- tion was 3s lid. Last year the out-door paupers numbered 425, and the in-door 104, and the total cost was Is lOd per head. Having given other comparative figures, Mr Roberts pointed out that not onlv had there been a great diminution in the number of out-door and iu-door paupers, but that they had ceased to relieve persons who ought never to have beeu paupers, and that the actual paupera were receiving more assistance. At the same time the rates had gone down considerably, and they were actually less now than 22 years ago, not- withstanding the additional charges made for sanitary, school board, and other purposes. At the same time the percentage was sure to i-i,c because the ratable value was diminishing.
