QUEEN'S FERRY. THE PROPOSED BRIDGE OVER THE DEE. A meeting of the representatives of the Cheshire County Council, the Flintshire County Council, and the Dee Conservancy Board, was held at the Chester Town Hall on Wednesday afternoon, to consider what proportion of the cost of erecting anew bridge over the Dee at Queen's Ferry should be borne by the reepective authorities. Those present included Messrs. Stanton Eddowes, T. Beeley, and 0. Lister from the Cheshire County Council; Messrs. Soott Bankes and G. A Parry, of the Flintshire Coanty Council; and Messrs. J. Thompson, O. Davison, and J. Watkinson, of the Dee Conservancy Board; Mr. Potts, clerk to the Cheshire County Council; Mr. T. T. Kelly, clerk to the Flintshire County Counoil; Mr. S. Smith, town clerk of Chester and clerk to the Dee Conservancy Board; and Mr. H. E. Taylor, aoting conservator to the same authority. On the 14th December last, the Flintshire County Council passed a resolution, in which it was agreed to erect and maintain a bridge at Queen's Ferry, at a cost not exceeding S13,000, the council further agreeing to pay five-thirteenths of the cost on the understanding that the Cheshire County Counoil contributed three-thirteenths, the Dee Conservancy Board four-thirteenths, and the property owners and others interested one-thirteenth and on the further understanding that the question as to whether tolls should be charged should be left open. —After considerable discussion to-day the following resolution was unanimously agreed to :—" Condi- tionally on the Flintshire County Council under- taking the construction and maintenance of the proposed vehicular bridge over the River Dee and obtaining an Act of Parliament for the purpose, the representatives of the Cheshire County Council and Dee Conservancy Board will recommend their respective authorities to contribute as under-stated (the Dee Conservancy Board being entirely free from all responsibility in respect of the ferries) The Cheshire County Council three-thirteenths of the total cost of obtaining an Act and constructing a bridge, not exceeding £ 3,000; the Dee Conservancy Board four-fourteenths of such total cost, not exceeding L4,000." It was stated that several landed proprietors and others interested had intimated their willingness to contribute, the trustees of the Hawarden estate being among the number.

« POINT OF AYR. ROBBERY ON BOARD A SCHOONER. About nine o'olock on Saturday morning last, Alfred Callon. cook, on board the Schooner J. T. S. of Barrow, was missing A searoh was made for him, but on the orew failing to find him their suspicions were aroused that there was something wrong, and accordingly they made an examination of their clothing and effects on board, and their suspicions were oonfirmed, as one of the orew, named John Simpson, discovered the loss of his purse containing £1 17s. 6d., and another of the crew, named Patriok Farrall, discovered the loss of a Dair of elastic side boots, the thief leaving an old pair of his own behind.

CONDEMNATION OF GOVERNMENT PROPOSALS. LORD SALISBURY AND THE SUSPENSORY BILL. At a meeting of the Mostyn-Whitford Habitation of the Primrose League, Mr. Wm. C. Piekering presiding, the following resolutions were unani- moualy paued :—"That this meeting mostea/rnestly protests against the Home Rule Bill introduced into the House of Commons by Mr. Gladstone, being fnlly convinced that if it is passed into law it will be disastrous to Ireland and detrimental to the beat interests of the Empire at large. This meeting also strongly protests against the Suspensory Bill for Wales, as being a measure calculated to paralyse the good work now being oarried on by the Church in Wales." Copies of the resolutions were forwarded to Lord Salisbury, Mr. Gladstone, Lord Randolph Churchill, and others, by Mr. Barratt, the hon. secretary of the Habitation, and the following replies have been received:- Hatfield Honse, Hatfield, Herts., March 29th, 18*3, SIa,-Lord Salisbury desires me to acknowledge with manythanka the reoeipt of your letter, enclos- ing a oopy of the resolutions passed at a meeting of the Mostyn-Whitford Habitation of the Primrose League. He is much enoouraged by this further evidence of the just indignation, which has been excited by the disastrous scheme of the Government to establish a separate Parliament in Ireland, and by their indefensible proposals against the Ohuroh in Wales.—I am, yours Obediently, EVKLTX OBOIL. Alex. Barratt, Esq. 50, Grosvenor Square, W., 29th Maroh, 1893, DsAa gn,-I am desired by Lord Randolph Churchill to thank yon for your letter enclosing oopies of the two resolutions passed at your recent meeting protesting against the Home Rule Bill and the Welsh Suspensory Bill.-Yours faithfully, H.

NORTHOP. PETTY SESSIONS: TaunDLr.-Before Messrs. J. Soott Bankes, (chairman), T. Bate, O. Davison, J. Watkinson. WEAK MILK AN TJlflMTBKTXONAL rBAUD ON THB PUBLIC. John Evans, who combines the business of milk Belling with that of joinery and building, at Oakenholt, Pentre, Flint, was summoned at the instanoe of Inspector Minshull, of Flint, inspector under the Food and Drugs Act, for selling adulter- ated inilk. Mr. T. W. Hughes, (Messrs Hughes and Hughes, Flint) appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. J. B. Marston for the defence.-From Mr. HngW opening ataimment it appeuad that on the 16th February, Inspector Minshull, of Flint, who acts as inspector under the Food and Drags Aot, met the defendant's boy on the road with a milk cart, in which there were tankarda containing about six or seven quarts of milk. He purchased a pint of milk, which he divided into three portions in the oustomary manner. The portion which he retained was analysed by Mr. Wm. Foulkes Lowe, county analyst, of Chester, it hose oertifioate ahowed that taking the lowest (Somerset House) standard of milk there was 17 per oent. adulteration, and taking the ordinary quality of milk, twenty to twenty-two per cent adulteration. Inspector Minshull having given evidence, the bench suggested that the boy might have been responsible for this adulteration. The inspector, however, stated that he watched the boy from the time he left defendant's house till the pur- chase of the milk, and would have seen him adulterate the milk had he done so,—Mr. Lowe was then oalled, and gave evidence as to his analyses of the milk.—It appeared that the portion of the milk retained by the defendant's boy had also been analysed, the result proving in exact ageement with the analysis of Mr. Lowe.—Mr. Marston, for the defence, explained that the snbstanoe upon which the defendant's four eows had been fed-turnips, mangolds, crushed oats, out hay, brewers' graina- had had the effect of inoreasing the quantity of the milk at the expense of the quality. There was no actual adulteration of the milk.—The Chairman said they were prepared to absolve the defendant and his wife of any intention to defraud the publio. At the same time people ought to be most particular about the quality of the goods they sold, because it was a gross injustice that the publio in general should pay a fair price without being able to obtain a fair article. Few people bad the oourage to have their milk tested, and probably many people had had to put up with milk of an inferior quality. Defend- Ziuld be fined Is. and £ 4 13s. 4Jd. costs.

IE COLUMBIAN EXHIBITION. WHO DISQOYBHBD AXMCA ? The Americans are evidently considerably agitated as to who really did discover that oountry. There can be no question that the discovery of Columbus led to the occupation of that Western Hemisphere by the Canoasian race, but there are those who question whether Columbus was the first European who set foot on the Continent of North America. While great honour is due Columbus for his per- sistent effort to find a Western passage to the East Indies or Far Cathay," it is well for Americans to remember that there are strong probabilities of earlier discoveries Near Cambridge, Massachusetts, oppoaite the cemetery where rests the remains of the lamented poet, James Russell Lowell, is a granite slab enclosed by an iron railing bearing this insorip- tion; On this spot, in the year 1,000, Leif Erikson built his house in Vineland." Encyclopedia Britaunios gives credenoe to the fact that Norse- men settled in Rhode Island prior to Columbus, and the author of Appleton's Encyclopedia admits that probabilities are strongly in favour of the olaimS that Leif Erikson, who aailed from Norway, was the first to disoover Massachusetts, There are more recent discoveries, however, that are extremely important, and affeet the entire English-speaking raoe, but more especially England. Mr. J. Robinson reeiding at Westfield House, Knowl, Mirfield, Yorks, writes: "I consider Warner's Safe Cure a wonderful discovery, and have pleasure in testifying as to the good which I have received from its use. Having suffered for many years fromgohronie lum- bago, frequent bilious attacks, as a result of a sluggish liver, causing bilious headaohes, giddiness, fickle appetite, bile in the stomach, ana extreme enervation, and after having tried, without relief, a great many medicines as well as following doctor's advice, I beard of the discovery of Warner's Safe Oare and Pills, (obtainable of all ohemists and dealera at 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d. per bottle), and decided to give them a fair trial, and am pleased to inform you that, as a result, I am oured, and can heartily recommend them to those who suffer in a simil^ftjnanner, feeling sure they will not regret it."

ST. ASAPH. LIVELY PROCEEDINGS. SHOCKING GBAVEYABD REVEL.A.TIONs.-On Monday morning the annual Easter vestry meeting of the Parish Church was held in the Vestry-room, St. Asaph, under the presidency of the Rev. T. Llewelyn Williams. There was a numerous attendance.—The minutes of the previous meeting contained a reference to a resolution asking the churchwardens to prepare a list of the Parish Church property and Dr. Easterby asked whether the resolution had been carried out, and said the question should be answered before the minutes were passed. Mr. Jos. Lloyd, however, moved that the minutes be signed, which was done. Dr. Easterby repeated the question. Mr. Peers, one of the church. wardens in question, said they had done nothing as yet (laughter). After a lively discussion, it was agreed, on the motion of Mr. Alun Lloyd, that the list be prepared, as Irecommended at the previous vestry meeting.—The Chairman reported that the overseers' accounts showed a balanoe of about E2 to the good. The accounts were passed.The parish grounds accounts, which were passed, showed a balance in hand of 212 10s.—Mr. Alun Lloyd said he had heard a startling allegation made by Mr. George with regard to the position of the oemetery, and he did not know whether Mr. George would repeat what he had said outside to that vestry meet- ing. It was a most shocking revelation.—Mr, George said he considered St. Asaph was now in a most disgraceful condition, owing to the state of the cemetery. Although the vicars took upon their shoulders to see that all graves were of a proper depth, he was sorry to say that a certain grave was so shallow that the coffin had been buried within 12 or 14 inohes from the surface. The clergy had taken upon themselves the sponsorship in the matter —to see that every grave was at least 3 ft. 6 in. deep. He considered the state of affairs a disgrace to their little city. If an inspector came down, he would find several oaaea similar to the one he had mentioned. He asked the meeting to protest against such acts being carried on in a oity such an St. Asaph amongst the Lord Bishop, dean, canons, and curates (loud laughter). After further discussion, the Chairman said that notioe had been given to the gravedigger that he must go to the vicars and tell them when he was going to dig a grave. The discussion then ended.-The election of ohurohwardens resulted in the appointment of Messrs. R. E. Griffttbs, John Jones (blaoksmith), Robert Peers, and John Matthews.

PRESENTATION TO THE LATE DEAN. On Tuesday the late Dean of St. Asaph, the Rev. John Owen, now Principal of Lampeter College, was presented with a silver inkstand and purse of money by subsoribers in the diocese in recognition of personal merit and public service rendered to the Church. There was an influential attendance, presided over by Mr. Edwin Morgan, J.P., Caegwyn, chairman of the committee, and for which Mr. Cleaver, diooesan registrar, had acted as secretary aud treasurer. The chairman remarked that the late Dean's influence in behalf of the Churoh had extended beyond the diocese, beyond Wales, and into many parts of England. There were in recent years scarcely any two men who had made such a mark in the Church as the late Dean and his diocesan, Bishop Edwards. Dr. Davies said that the late Dean was an exemplary citizen, a courteous Christian gentleman, and in every respect an example to which the junior clergy could always look up. Mr. P. P. Pennant, as a member of the Joint Education Committee of Flintshire, said that the late Dean was a giant on that com- mittee. The scheme was far from being perfeot, but it would have been much less perfeot had it not been for the great educational knowledge brought to bear upon it by Dean Owen. The Bishop of St. Asaph said that a more loyal friend than Dean Owen the olergy never found. Speaking as an old master of ten years he (the Bishop) said deliberately that the late Dean was their present leader in educational matters throughout the Princi- pality, and his appointment to the prinoipalship of Lampeter was a most fitting one. Canon Owen, in acknowledging the gift, remarked that his actions for Church defence were the result of deep conviction. Once he left the diocese he had reviewed his position from a religious point of view, examining motives and issues, and he was now more convinced than ever that the Churoh had a right to her property, and that it was a wicked thing to alienate money given for religious purposes to any other purpose. In conclusion, he said that with the money presented he hoped to buy books for a library which is being established for the junior clergy of the diooese, and with whom, as in past times, he hoped to read during his vacation.

+- MISCELLANEOUS EXTRACTS. JOT is the greatest gossip in the world. ONE hour to-day is worth two to-morrow. PBOUD looks make foul work in fair faces. TIGKB-HTJNTING ON FoOT.-There are three ways of tiger-shooting from the howdah of an elephant, from a scaffolding, and on foot. In the second mode, where the sportsman seats himself on a lofty frame, the carcase is laid below to lure the man- eater within easy rüle-shot-a method, though exciting, so little accompanied by danger, that ladies frequently accompany the gentlemen, and take their work or a book with them. But on foot the sport is full of peril, requiring nerves of iron and an unerring aim with the most perfect of rifles. Brought face to face with the spotted monarch of the jungle, the ball that only wounds and fails to slay ensures generally the death of him who fires it. Not unfrequently, too, he has to follow up the track of a wounded tiger in thick jungle, where all is darkness a very few paces in front of him; and before he has time to bring the gun to his shoulder, the maddened beast may burst out of the obscurity and strike him to the earth. The man who has shot a tiger on foot has won the blue riband of sport. He may retire upon his laurels. He can listen with an unmoved heart to tales of daring, feeling assured that you have never been so near death as he tas.- CasseICs Illuse- ated History of India. PTOLKMS SOTER.-PtOleMy Soter, first as governor under Alexander and subsequently as King, was the founder of the splendid edifices on the Bru- chium, many of which were only finished by his son Philadelphia. He expended but little on his own palace, for he was wont to say that a king should be Javieh to atbers and not to himself. He was a frugal aud at the same time a wise and powerful sovereign, whe sowed the seeds of moat of tbe learning, ara laid the foundations of most of the institutions that afterwards made Alexandria great and famous; and his disposition to promote science and art was inherited even by the most worth- less of his descendants. He followed Alexander's example in leaving to the Egyptians their old laws and gods; but he held them in subjection by estab- lishing military colonies. He might even have suc- ceeded in engrafting Hellenic life and the Greek spirit throughout the Nile valley if he had not denied all muncipal rights to the children of mixed marriages, with a view of keeping the blood of the Greek colonists pure. Many as there were among the inhabitants of Alexandria who were not Greeks, the council was always addressed as Men of Macedonia."—Egypt, THE ORDER OF THE HUNT.—The field of horsemen spreads over the hills that command a view of the covert, into which the huntsman and one of his whips only enter. To follow him would be a gross breach of etiquette. The distance from the nounds is often great, they don't give tongue in a very resounding manner, nothing like what I have heard with foxhounds when hunting with the Rufford in Nottinghamshire. From time to time a few white spots may cross an open space, a faint sound of a hound giving tongue rises to the top of the hill, and the occasional cheer of the huntsman, these are the only signs that anything is going en. This delay may last an hour, two heurs, three hours, for it is not enough to drive a deer out of cover, it must be the deer the Master decides to hunt, so there may be two or three moments of agreeable excitement when out bursts a hind, or unwarrantable deer, not considered fit to be hunted on that day. In truth, it is often dull work, for blank days or days without a run are not uncommon. At length the joyful moment arrives, a grand dun antlered fellow, nearly as big as a Jersey bull, bounds up the side of the combe (Devonian for gorge), and gallops away for the moors-that is, if it is a lucky day. If it is not, he takes to the enclosed country, with its deep lanes, and, until he is killed, [ you see neither deer nor hounds, nothing but the tail i of the pony ridden by your pilot.—The Book of the I Horse.

ALLEGED PERJURY BY A GREENFIELD YOUTH. At Holywell Sessions, on Tuesday, before a full benoh of magistrates, Richard Jones, of Greenfield was summoned on the information of Acting- Sergeant John Ivor Davies, for that he on the 7th of March last, did falsely, wickedly, wilfully and oorruptly commit wilful and oorrupt perjury in his evidence as a witness in the hearing of a certain information at a court of summary j urisdietion for the division of Holywell."—Mr. H. T. Smith appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. R. Bromley, defended.-Mr. Smith in openinir "the oase, re- counted the leading points in the charge of pony riding preferred at the last monthly sessions against a number of boys at Bettiefield Colliery, and of the evidence given by the defendant. Mr. H. A. Cope, clerk to the Magistrates, said he recollected being present in court at the last monthly sessions, at which the charge of pony riding against boys was preferred by Mr. J. H. Johnson of Bettisfield Colliery, and in which Kiohard Jones, on oath, said in evidence that on the day in question he walked with one of the defendants Hughes. He produced the notes of the evidence taken at the direotion of the oourt.—Jos. fv £ u8ai n at Bettisfield Colliery. On the 8th of February last he made arrangements to watch the boys riding the horses underground. He had cautioned the boys, includ- ing the defendant, and William Hughes, against riding the horses. About 4 p.m. on the 8th Feb. he was about the middle of the tannel from the stables to the top of the brow. He was watohing the lads bringing the horses down to the stable. He saw Joseph Tale riding first, Thomas Jones came second. Three horses followed without riders and Wm. HugheB was behind them riding on a horse. He stopped the horses and pulled down Tale and Jones and told them to walk. He got hoJd of Wm. Hughes and tried to poll him down. F tfin? ? p °^> fche borse was going too fast. 1 Hughes cried out "Let me go, Joe." Wit- ness loosed him as he could not keep up with the horse. He took him about 30 yards. Witness held on to him for that distance. Several horses came without any bridles and Riohard Jones following, driving the horses. Hespoke to him and said" You have come down I suppose." Jones did not reply but walked on. John Hannaby was after Richard Jones, having three horses in front of him. Hugh Howell was up the tunnel about 200 yards from witness. He subsequently saw Howell and they left the tunnel together. By Mr. Bromley: So far as he knew the boy had a good character. He had no complaints against him. He had a lamp with him. It was on the toor so that he could have his hands free to catch the lads. Howell had a lamp. He could not have been mis- taken in the lad Hughes, when he failed to pull him down. The lad spoke to him and he had his own lamp in his hand. Hugh Howell, fireman at the colliery, said he bad been told on to watch the lads returning with the horses on the 8th February last. He saw William Hughes on the horses baek. He and another lad were going towards the pit. He did not try to catch J it °°fU!; not.haTe do?e ,0. they were gallop- ing. About fife minutes afterwards the defendant Kiehard Jones came along. He was walking when he saw him. He was about 200 yards distant from Joseph Bellim, Thomas Jones another driver followed. By Mr. Bromley: He had a lamp. The lads were galloping up the brow to where he was stationed. He knew the lot of them. Joseph Tale was lying on the horse with his feet at the horse's head. He knew the horse. He knew that others rode the horses at times. He could not tell the names of the other lads that were with him. He was sure he had not made a mistake in William Hnghes. He could not say whether William Hnghes had a lamp or not. Some lads had lamps and others not. Mr. Bromley for the defence, opened with evidenoe aa to character, and called Mr. S. Davies, C.C., Greenfield, who said from what he personally knew the family were trathful and trustworthy, and with regard to the prisoner, he saw him going regularly to Church and Sunday sehool. By Mr. Smith Hie family were occupiers of one of his houses. He had no connection with the prisoner in business.

He hoped that the Benoh would regard it-if in their own minds they thought he was guilty—not as a serious criminal offenoe, but as one of indiscretion done in the desire to benefit aaother He trusted they would deal leniently and not brand him as a felon, but deal with it more in the light that the prosecuting solicitor in his opening address seemed to regard it, when he termed it a "silly nf th« £ °nS'deration of the youthfalness of the acoused he hoped they would be lenient. •i. t re*irement of about quarter of an hour, returned into Court, and the Chairman said the majority of the Benoh have oome to the deoision that prisoner),e sent to take his trial at the next assises.
