r Recovery of the Body of the Captain of the" Renfrew." On Wednesday the body of John Cornelius Bur- ton, Captain of the flat Renfrew," was found washed ashore at Prestatyn, and on Thursday evening Mr R Bromley, County Coroner, held an inquest on the same at the Railway Hotel, Pres- tatyn, the following being the jury Messrs Jos Littler (foreman), Jno Pritchard, Jno Roberts, J Griffiths, Jonathan Griffiths, Ed Dowell, Robt H Williams, W Williams, Charles E Hill, Jno Owen Clarke, C Banks, R W Simon, W H Jones, P Hughes, and P Jones. William Burton, of Sankey Hall, Warrington, flat owner and contractor, identified the body as that of his brother, J C Burton, 11, Cavendish St, Runcorn, who was a master mariner and 38 years of age. The Renfrew" was lost at sea on the morning of the 2nd, with three hands on board. Deceased was married and had three children. Edwin Gratton, Cement Row, proved finding the body about a mile from the sea wall of the railway. He gave information to the police. P.C. E Jones said he removed the body, and on searching found 13s Old and a knife in the pockets. The jury returned a verdict that the deceased was found drowned near Prestatyn, and added a rider deeply deploring the removal of the lifeboat from the old station near Prestatyn, and expres- sing the opinion that had the lifeboat not been taken away that the lives of the deceased and his two companions might probably have been saved.

ST. ASAPH ECHOES. Bedd RICHARD ROBERT JONES (Die Aberdaron), a anwyd yn 1780, a gladdwyd Rhagfyr 21, 1843, yn 63 oed.

Such is thesimple inscription on a large flat tomb- stone to be found in the S. W. corner of the St Asaph Parish Churchyard, but I wonder whether 5 in every 100 who pass that corner daily know anything of this Richard Robert Jones who sleeps there. Richard Robert Jones was born of poor parents at a little place named Aberdaron, in Car- narvonshire, in the year 1780. He was one of a large family, so he received nothing but the bare A B C of education. Die Aberdaron," aa he is familiarly known, was, a very lazy specimen of humanity as a boy-his father only in most humble circumstances, could not make Die work. As Die grew up he did nothing but dabble with books so one day his father told him he could be off where he liked. Die, with no money in his pocket, set off at once. No trunks was he encumbered with; no packages, nothing at all, except a few books. His travels through Wales and England are very interesting, I wish I could give them in detail. As he went along he would work long enough to earn money to buy books and food. When he was very hard up he would sell his books, and buy more when he was next able to earn the money. By degrees he travelled on foot through England as far as Dover. To a casual observer he must have presented a curious sight, with his thick curlinc hair, fine intellectual face, broad shoulders, and tattered garments. He is reported to have pos- sessed a cornet, from which he used to produce a "something "which he termed music. He was passionately fond of cats; his love for them being only surpassed by his love for books. Tra- dition says that Die was acquainted with 14 languages-but I have no proof that this was really correct. The late Miss Story used to tell me that Bishop Carey could not understand his Hebrew, and surely he was a scholar. However, a Lexicon, compiled by Dic, in Hebrew, Greek and Welsh may still be seen in St Asaph Cathedral, also a portrait. I have a pencil sketch of Die Aberdaron, reputed to have been the work of Die himself. An old inhabitant told me a short time ago, that he was in the habit of giving these away to those who were kind to him. The writing on the back RICHARD ROBERT JONES, Aberdaron, County of Carnarvonshire, is very beautifully done. Die was often in St Asaph, and he was frequently to be found both in the house and school of Mr Louis, situate in Gemig Street, and what we now know as the Irish Square. In those days the Square was a very respectable place-I shall have occasion to mention it in another article. Both Bishops Luxmore and Carey offered Die light employment, but he refused this several times. Bishop Carey was very good to him but Die was very independent whenever he was treated as one without visible means of sub- stinence. I have been told that frequently when Bishop Carey offered Di a sovereign, he would change it and bring back 19s He used to lodge at the back of the George, in High Street, and it was here he was taken ill in December 1843. I believe he had a very short illness, which terminated fatally on the 21st. After his death, Dr Roberts, St Asaph, and several other doctors examined Die's brain, but I do not know what the result of their inquiry was. It would be interesting to know. He was laid to rest in the old Parish Churchyard, where the past generations of St Asaph sleep. To mark the spot where this remarkable man was laid, Bishop Carey placed the handsome flat stone with the inscription given at the beginning of this article. So For a space his tired body Lies with feet towards the dawn, Till there breaks that last and brightest Easter morn. St Asaph. C. W. No. 3, A Chat about Old St. Asaph.

The Proposed Destruction of the Sandbanks. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BHYL JOURNAL. SIR, -Finding that it is the intention of the local authorities to level the Sandhills of Rhyl, pronounced by that eminent physician Sir Henry Halford, who in days past visited them, to be "the finest air in England," it seems a grevious mistake to do away with what is so beneficial. The num- berless plants and grasses which grow there (400 different kinds of grasses alone having been found by that wonderfully clever and talented botanist, T Price, Esq, (Chester) contributing by their scents and other properties which they emit to the salubrity of the air. Then again there is the bent- grass, nature's strong bulwark against storms of suffocating sand and drifts, this also must go if the sandhills are to be replaced by unsightly corregated iron screens or other faulty device of man. Before it is too late, may I beg all to stay their hands, for surely their object is to make Rhyl-a health-resort. Then again the gentle undulating nature of the Sandhills are so health-giving to people of weakly constitution and circulation, like the Malvern hills are in-like manner considered to be. Then the Sandhills afford shelter and walks in cold east and north winds and also shelter in the boiling summer suns. Instead of levelling these Sandhills let them be kept in order and not disfigured or otherwise abused; let police see that these ramparts of this sea-girt coast are kept in order and peace.—I am, Sir, truly and obliged, L. P. S. -If people want houses built along the coast let them be built behind the sand banks, for they would then be safe from sand storms and drifts, and have a pleasant foreground of green and shelter.

THE PRESS. Toe Quiver commences a new volume with the November number. The first article in it is written by the Marquis of Lome. Other articles are by Dean Farrar, Dr Parker and The President of Baptist Union. But the great feature ot the number is the special pictorial supplement en- titled "Leaders in the Church of God." This. is illustrated by some 60 photographs-among them that of the Bishop of St Asaph—and other pictores. The Church, Methodists, Presbyterians, Congregationalists and Baptists are represented. THB HOUSEWIFE (20. St Bide Street, London, E.C.,) presents its accustomed varied contents. It is a well written periodical, and should be appreciated by both mothers and daughters..

NOTES FROM RHUDDLAN. Rhuddlan Castle, which has seen more strife than any other castle in Wales, was once saved from a siege when oc^npied'by the Earl of Chester by a singular ruse. He sent to Roger de Lacy, his constable, for aid, and Chester Fair being thronged by a great nnmber of loose people," De Lacy marched off the whole lot of holiday folk to the castle, which the Welsh seeing and suspecting to be a large disciplined, army raised the siege and made tracks. Most of us remember Thomas. Well, he has come to grief for doing twice what a good many have not the courage to do once. At the recent assizes we read that Thomas Williams, 41, labourer, Bangor, pleaded guilty to marrying one Jane Ellen Roberts in May last while his former wife was alive. Mr Honoratus Lloyd prosecuted, and Air Trevor Lloyd appeated for the prisoner, who was sentenced to one month's imprisonment. The ancient borough is very quiet just now. The Doisy breaks from Rhyl have ceased to run, and the trippers have ceased to visit us. We anticipate them with some degree of pleasure in the spring but as the autumn has returned we are glad to return ourselves to our normal condition. ANIAN WAllgof.

Rhyl District Nursing Funds. The Lady Superintendent begs to appeal for the fund for nursing the sick poor of Rhyl. About two years ago an appeal was inserted in the Rhyl papers which was so generously responded to that the money then given lasted up to the present time. Now, however, very heavy calls have been made on it, and the fund is almost exhausted. At the present time, there is a large amount of illness in the poorest part of the town, and help is very urgently needed not only in providing nurses for the sick, but in providing food, etc., where it is necessary. Two nurses have been employed for some weeks, working both night and day, and if the sickness still continues to increase, a third will be necessary if the nursing is to be carried on efficiently. For these heavy demands the money now in hand is quite inadequate, and the Lady Superintendent appeals very earnestly for funds from those who are willing to do what they can to help their less fortunate neighbours in this time of distress-Royal Alexandra Home, 16, East Parade.

Amateur Theatricals in the Town Hall. Entertaining pieces were represented at the Town Hall last evening to a large audience. The curtain rose on a very pretty operetta entitled The Shepherd of Coarnonailles and while the scope of the piece and its opportunities are somewhat limited, in the bands of Miss Townshend, Miss Edith Townshend and Mr Morris Vaughan it was placed btfore the audience in a taking manner. The scene is laid in a widow's drawing room and Bertha (Miss Townshend) and her maid, Clara (Miss Edith Townshend) are found discusiping among other topics the non-arrival of a certain major, who it appeared was supposed to be engaged to the widow. Appartently to kill time the widow relates a little love affair that she had with a Shepherd at Cournouailles, and sing& a couple of verses of a catchy soog which he sang. Tired with that she sits to the pianoforte and proceeds to murder" a composition by one Frantz. It happens the musician chances to pass at the time, and driven mad by the way his piece is played, after some preliminaries enters the drawing room and tells the widow what he thinks of her interpre- tation of his piece. It is in this scene that Mr Morris Vaughan and Miss Townshend were seen and heard at their best, and they went through a very trying scene with great credit. Frantz proves to be the Shepherd of Coarnouailles and he suc- ceeds in winning the widow's heart and hand; but not before the Major had been proved to be false. As we have said, the scope of the piece was narrow, but it is well worth seeing and cannot fail to please. As Frantz Mr Morris Vaughan gave a clever performance and was well deserving of the applause which greeted his renderings. Miss Townshed carried through with ability a trying and heavy part, while Miss E Townshend made an ideal lady's maid, although the latitude which the author has given to the part is scarely in keeping with the pecaliar and narrow ideas which Clara is sapposed to hold with regard to artistes, and such like gentleman; but perhaps the representa- tion was intended to be associated with the lady's maid of the next century—a decided advance. The stage was very prettily arranged, and spoke of the delicate touch of artistic hands. The piece will be again produced this evening, and will be followed by the commedietta A woman's wrong." Last evening it was succeeded by" The Duchess of Bayswater & Co," about which we shall have somothing to say in our next issue.

ODDFELLOWS' DINNER AT RHYL. Last evening the annual dinner of the Loyal Britannia Lodge of the Independent Order of Oddfellows (M. U.) was held at the Alexandra Hotel, when Miss Williams placed on the table a splendid meal. Mr F. J. Gamlin presided, and Dr. Summerhill occupied the vice-chair. Among those present were Messrs. R. Bromley, R. Ll. Jones, F. Wallis (secretary), and Inspector Wil- liams. After the tables had been cleared the customary toasts were given from the chair, and in sub- mitting that of "The Bishop, Clergy, and Ministers of all denominations," the Chairman expressed surprise that there were none of the local clergy and ministers present, although invitations had been sent to them. Mr R. Simcox, as a churchwarden of St. John's, briefly responded. Mr R LI Jones, C.C., submitted the toast of the "Army, Navy, and Auxiliary Forces." Speaking about the Order of Oddfellows, he said he looked upon the Society with much favour, and no doubt it was a great boon to those who wished to provide for the futnre. He instanced cases in which, had it not been for the existence of the Society, men would have to go to the Relieving Officer for sup- port when sickness overtook them. He commended the Society to young men who were desirous of making provision against times of sickness. The toast was acknowledged by Inspector Williams (as an old soldier), and by Sergeant Davies. The Chairman in giving the toast of the Rhyl Oddfellows," said the more that was known of the Order of Oddfellows, the more its objects were ap- proved of. He reminded the company that they, as Oddfellows, met on neutral ground, and that would account for the great success which had at- tended their Society's work. There were 121 members in the Loyal Britannia Lodge, with a fund of over £ 1,300 (cheers). Mr F. Wallis, as secretary, responded, and said in the Manchester Unity of Oddfellows there were 465 Districts, 4639 Lodges, and 739,439 members. During 1894, £1,468,897, had been received from members. That in itself should be a sufficient in- ducement to young men to join the Order. The Loyal Brittannia Lodge had over dE1300 at its back, and during the year 14 new members had been made. The Chairman said he had the pleasant duty of presenting Bros. Edward Jones, Robert Davies, and Edward Roberts with illuminated addresses for long and valuable services to the Lodge.—After the three recipients had returned thanks, Mr E Morgan proposed a vote of thanks to Dr Summer- hill, the medical officer of the Lodge, for the care- full and attentive way in which he had discharged his duties during the past.—Dr Summerhill having responded, Mr Newing gave the toast of the "Honorary Members." He said their list of honorary mem- bers was not a very long one, and he hoped that it would be extended before the next anniversary. Mr R LI Jones responded. Dr Summerhill proposed the toast The Town and Trade of Rhyl," and Mr Jos Davies responded. The toast of the Chairman was submitted by Dr Summerhill, who said Mr Gamlin was always to the front in supporting institutions of that kind.- Mr Gamlin in responding said it always gave him pleasure to do what he could to help such good causes. The Chairman gave "The Press," and Mr Davies responded. The concluding toast of the evening was that of the hostess, who was thanked for the careful manner in which she had attended to the require- ments of the company that evening.—Miss Wil- liams suitably responded, and said it gave er I great pleasure to know that all had enjoyed themselves. The musical programme was contributed to by Messrs. J. R. Williams, Newing, D. Lewis, F. Wallis, F. J. Gamlin, and T. Manley. Mr G. Bell accompanied.

DYSERTH. LLA.WSA.I;TFFRAID. -The harvest festival was held in this church on Thursday. The English sermon was preached in the afternoon by the Rural Dean (the Vicar of Rhyl); and despite bad weather, there was a goodly attendance. This was still improved upon in the evening, when the Rev. Joseph Davies, of Holywell, preached in Welsh. The church had been neatly decorated by willing hands, and the choir rendered its services very efficiently. ONE of the most amusing incidencs during a cyclists' parade held at Sale, near Manchester, on Saturday was the successful attempt on the part of a cross-bred dog to capture one of Spratt's biscuits, suspended by a string from the neck of a rider impersonating the character of a cat and dogs' meat man. No sooner had the procession started than the tyke espied the suspended buscuit, and greedily eyeing it was not long in endeavouring by leaping up to the string, to secure the dainty mouthful. The cyclist, sharing with the onlookers the amusement the antics of the dog caused, made no attempt to beat it off, and eventually the dog's pertinacity was rewarded, for he at length secured the biscuit and at once made off with it. The vernacular Dissenting press is engaged in an internecine war over the respective merits of Mr Bryn Roberts M.P., and Mr Lloyd George, M.P. To a portion of the press, the former is far too moderate, to another portion thi latter is far too violent. The result of it is that not only are the two members belaboured by their respective op- ponents, but the newspapers themselves are en- gaged in traducing one another. Much has been written of the violence and vulgarity of a portion of the vernacular press of late years. It is, there- fore, all the more interesting to read this confes- sion in the Goleuad" one of the newspapers in- volved in the qua.rrel It is about time for the Editors of your newspapers to take care what kind of light they shed from their lamps to the unilin- gual Welsh. We are tired of hearing about the 'vernacular press being an object of contempt to the English, and we blush in reading some of the paragraphs translated. At present the influence of the Welsh press on the best class in the land is almost gone. They read English if they can, and they do not consider it worth while to buy and read the common Welsh paper, and that, we venture to say, because their contents are either too poor and spiritless, or because their opinions are extremely wild." Speaking at Glasgow, Sir George Trevelyan said that of all abuses the most far-reaching and in- vidious was the lodger franchise. It opened the field to every kind of wire pulling, chicanry and fraud." We wonder if he had seen the list of lodger claimants at Rbyl. the astrologers generally say that the crowned heads may expect troubles in full score during the last three months of 1895. Most of us have crowned heads, so that the prognostication is some- what vague. But some star-gazers particularize, and make hints at the Queen, the Prince of Wales, and the Emperor of Germany.

Wm Owen, Henllan. one of the deputation. In supporting it, the other deputation, Rev Thomas Hughes, Kenchester, stated that in Russia every place was open to the agents of the Society, who were given free passes to travel all over the coun- try by land or water. The Rev Lewis Ellis, in proposing a hearty vote of thanks to the deputa- tion, said the Society should thank the Czar for his kindness, and he hoped that the day would come when the same privilege would be extended to the agents of the Society in every country. The Rev D L Owen seconded. At the close of-the pro- ceedings a hearty vote of thanks was passed to the collectors and officers, all of whom were requested to remain in office for another year. THE Committee of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (Rhyl Branch) desire to express their thanks to Mr Dimings of Birmingham for 7s 3d subscriptions collected to this institution.

MARRIAGE REJOICINGS.—On Thursday week great rejoicings were carried out at Denbigh, on the mar- riage of Mr E H Vaughan, grocer, High Street, Rhyl, to Miss Katie Lloyd, step-daughter of Mr Robert Owen, High Street, Denbigh. At 12.20 the bride was met by the bridegroom at Capel Mawr, which had been prettily decorated by the chapel- keeper, Mr W Roberts, with some beautiful plants, kindly lent by Mrs Evan Pierce, of Salisbury Place, and splendid carpets, lent by Alderman Williams, High Street, Denbigh. The Rev Evan Jones officia- ted, and Mr James Davies, registrar, Rhyl was in attendance. The chapel was crowded with the well-wishers of the bride and bridegroom. After the ceremony they were driven, amidst showers of rice, flowers and slippers, to the bride's residence in High Street, where an excellent breakfast had been catered by Mrs Hugh Morris, Vale Street, Denbigh, in a very satisfactory manner. The bride was attired in a white surah silk dress and a large white picture hat, trimmed with corded silk, she also carried a bouquet of roses and lillies; her bridesmaid wore an electric blue silk bodice with blue dress and large hat trimmed with corded silk to match, carrying a large beautiful bouquet. The best man was Mr John Vaughan, of London. About 50 guests assembled at the breakfast table. After breakfast the happy couple were driven to the station and started en route for London and Leam- ington. They were accompanied to the station by several of their friends and well-wishers. The enormous number of presents they received were most valuable, and numbered about 300. ST.

The following is a detailed statement of the work done in the above-named County Court from the 1st of January to 31st December, 1894 :—Plaints entered for 920 and under, 1,011; plaints entered exceeding £ 20 but not exceeding fifty, 17; plaints entered exceeding foO by agree- ment, 0; actions determined with a jury, 0; actions determined without a jury, 571 for plaintiff, 314; for plaintiff by admission or default, 246; fordefendant, 11; judgment summonses issued, 448; judgment summonses heard, 226 warrants of committal issued, 118; debtors imprisoned, 2; executions on goods, &c,, issued, 162; total for which plaints were issued, £ 3,719; amount for which judgments were obtained, £ 2,191; amount paid out to suitors, £2,344; amount of costs, £ 325; fees under Schedule A, 9520; fees under Schedule B, £32.

AN ARBITRATION CASE.—The arbitrator in the case of Satchell v. Law has just issued his award. It was an action in which the plaintiff, Mr Walter Satchell, of 2, Gladstone-terrace, Aquarium- street, Rhyl, sued Mr George Law, contractor for the Marine Lake, for the recovery of E148 18s lid, alleged to be due for money lent. There was a counter-claim set up by the defendant for £ 250, subsequently reduced to JE173, which was alleged to represent money misappropriated by the plaintiff through the falsification of books. The case was set down for hearing at the Birmingham Assizes, and it was from there referred to Mr Hugo Joseph Young, of Birmingham, as arbitrator, who sat to take evidence on August 29th and 30th, and also on September 16th, 17th and 18th, Mr Norris F Foster being counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr Henry Stubbins for the defendant. The case for the plaintiff was that he advanced money from time to time to the defendant for the purpose of paying wages, and that he paid JE128 18s lid in that way, and also JE20 towards paying for a pair of ponies which the defendant bought of Mr J E Middlehurst, Rhyl. The reason the plaintiff gave for advancing the money was, that defendant did not wish to increase his overdraft at the bank. The defendant's case was that the plaintiff, who was a clerk, entered in his books the names of a number of bogus workmen, who had really never been on the works, and their wages were duly posted up. In giving his award the arbitrator ordered the defendant to pay the plaintiff fl36 18s lid, and decided against defendant on the whole of the counter-claim. Defendant was ordered to pay the whole of the costs with the exception of half the plaintiff's taxed costs of the proceedings before the arbitrator, and a further sum of £16 13s, part of the sum of JM6 14s, the arbitrator's charges of reference.
