IOQ— FASHIONABLE WEDDING AT LLANRWST.—On Wednesday, June 24th, Mr W. Pierce Roberts, of the firm of Messrs D. Jones and Roberts, solicitors, Llanrwst, and Miss Nellie Lewis, The Cottage, Llanrwst (niece to Councillor Humphrey Lewis, J.P., Mayor of Conway), were joined in holy matrimony at the Parish Church. The Venerable Archdeacon Hugh Jones officiated, assisted by the Rev. J. Davies (senior Curate). The Church was beautifully decorated for the occasion by Mrs J. Davies, Miss Leighton, Miss A. Leighton, and Miss Hill. The wedding was a very pretty one, the dresses of the bride and bridesmaids being much admired. The presents, which were costly and numerous, included a case of silver fish-knives and forks from Messrs P. & H. Lewis's Conway and district branches employes (who also made a display of bunting in the neighbourhood of the firm s Conway office, in honour of the occasion). THE ARLLECHWEDD CLERGY AND THE GOVERN- MENT BILLS.—At the Arllechwedd Ruri-decanal Conference (at Conway) on Tuesday, June 16th, the Rev. Canon Jones (Rural Dean) presiding, the Education Bill was discussed, and, on the motion of the Rev. J. W. Roberts (Caerhun), the following motion was passed That this meeting tender their warmest thanks to the Government for introducing the Education Bill, and believe that with modifications it will, if passed, tend to the advancement of elementary education and the settlement of the educational difficulty." Other resolutions were adopted as follow That in view of the preponderance on the majority of Welsh Educational Authorities of members prac- tically pledged to the extinction of Voluntary Schools, we trust the Government will take steps to safeguard the interests of these schools in some way, ch as by modifying the constitution of the County Educational Committees and by reserving to the Education Department the appointment of all School Inspectors and That this Chapter feels very grateful for the recognition of the principle embodied in clause 27 of the Bill." On the Agricultural Rating Bill it was resolved That this Chapter views with much concern the grave fact that the reduction of rates on the tithe rentcharge is not included within the scope of the Rating Bill now before Parliament, and earnestly pray the Government not to allow the present opportunity to pass without making provision for fair and equitable treatment of the tithe rent- charge with regard to the incidence of rates." The Rev E. J. Owen (Llanfairfechan) was appointed to succeed the Rev. W. J. Davies (Llandudno), resigned, as Secretary to the Ruri- decanal Board of Education. THE LOCATION OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE.—On Friday, June 19th, a deputation from the Carnarvonshire Joint Police Committee, con- sisting of Messrs J. R. Pritchard, J. Menzies, H. Kneeshaw, and Jones Morris, attended at the Llandudno Police Court to receive evidence in favour of the Superintendent of Police for the Conway Division being located at Llandudno instead of at Conway as heretofore. Messrs T. W. Griffith, Elias Jones, and W. Evans, together with the Clerk and Surveyor, represented the Llan- dudno District Council, and tendered evidence setting forth the claims of Llandudno to be considered the most advantageous and by far the most important portion of the division, and therefore the place where the Superintendent should reside.
