A DISTINGUISHED HOLYWELLITB.—Among the vipitors to Holywell this week was Prinoipal Williams, head of the New Veterinary College, Edinburgh. Prinoipal Williams, who stands at THO head of his profession, and is a recognised authority on veterinary subjects, is a son of the late Mr Wm. Williams, of "The Crown." Such is the result of the ohange which time works, that the present tradesmen of Holywell lwho recognised this distinguished son of TreSynnon could be counted on the fingers of one hand.

The Rev Father Fletcher's recent visit to Rome gained from the Holy Father a special indulgence to all who make a pilgrimage to this Holy shrine of St. Winefride, and there pray for the conversion of this country and the intentions of our Holy Father.

BAGILLT. THE PARISH MEETING AND THE LIGHTING QUESTION. On Monday evening last, a parish meeting coavened by Mr Robert Foulkes, Chairman of the Holywell Parish Council, was held at the National Schoolroom, Bagillt, for the purpose of considering a proposition that the Parish Council shall appoint annually, to exercise the powers and duties transferred, and to be ex- ercised in a part only of a parish, a committee consisting partly of members of the Council and partly of other porsoog representing that part of the parish." On the proposition of Mr Thomas Jones, Downhill, seconded by Mr John Edwards, Mr Robert Foulkes, was elected to preside. The Chairman having road the notice con- vening the meeting, said the Clerk to the Parish Council, Mr John Marsden. was unable to attend. Mr Aiban Thomas asked was he correct in understanding that the authority rests with the Parish Council at present. The Chairman said the Lighting Authority was transferred to part of the parish-Bagillt East and West wards. The members of the Greenfield ward had nothing te do with it. Mr S. Lloyd said he understood that the powers were transferred to the Parish Council, but the parish meeting did not on that occasion complete the work as it should have been done. A committee should have been formed to under- take the duties. The meeting that evening was held with the object of completing the work of the previous parish meeting. He begged to move that the Parish Councillors for Bagillt East and West Wards form the lighting Com- mittee for the Bagillt district." Mr Thomas Jones (Downhill) seconded, and Mr Edwin Roberts supported the resolution. The resolution was put to the vote, and was supported by 29 electors. There were no votes to the contrary. Mr Edwin Roberts Do we understand that this will be the annual day of the lighting authority ? The Chairman: I do not think so; I consider that the meeting last week will be considered the annual day. Mr Joseph Edwards Who will pay the ex- penses of the late Lighting Inspectors ? The Chairman I am afraid my pocket will have to bear a share of it-that is speaking as a Lighting Inspector-I fancy that what is owing will have to be paid by the inspectors themselves. Mr Edwin Roberts proposed that the best thanks of the parish meeting be accorded the late Inspectors of Lighting for the services they had rendered in the past.—Mr John Edwards seconded the resolution. Mr Thomas Jones, in supporting the resolu- tion, said he considered the Inspectors had done their duty exceedingly well, and he did not agree that the responsibility of the debts of the Inspectors should fall upon their own shoulders. The £ 60 owing was a public matter and the parish meeting should act honourably and take over the responsibility of the existing liabilities of the late authority. The Chairman said on behalf of the late inspectors, and as one of them, he thanked the meeting most sincerely for their appreciation of the public services rendered by the Inspectors. They had tried to do their duty, and with that effort alone for the good of the district, the Inspectors, who had held office from time to time during the past 25 years, had done what they could (hear, hear). Mr Alban Thomas said there still appeared to be some difficulty in the way. Could not some resolution be passed, whereby an arrangement could be made with the late inspectors. They had been told "You are forgetting that the property belongs to the Inspectors." Nothing of the kind. Tho property was vested not owned, and in the transfer from one body to another, the property went with the body receiving the powers. The wish of the parish for the transfer was so distinctly expressed that the Parish Council was not to be blamed for any action that body had taken. If any one could throw out a suggestion how to make arrange- ments with the late Inspectors he hoped the meeting would not conclude before some thing in that way was done. He felt that the Parish Council had not irritated the Inspectors beyond what they were called upon to do. Mr Thomas Jones said that he had been told that the Clerk to the Inspectors was not willing to hand over the books of the Lighting Authority until the question of oompensation for loss of office was settled, Mr A Thomas replied that was a matter for the Treasury and out of the province of the Parish meeting. He thought the Lighting Inspectors had gone rather far if they made the question of compensation a point to prevent the transfer. Mr Thomas Roberts: The Secretary to the Inspectors has never said anything about it at any meeting of the Inspectors. Mr Thomas Jones: Then. have it known that he has told me personally. Mr A Thomas said he believed there was a great deal in the question of the compensation of the Inspectors' officer. He moved That this meeting recommends the Lighting Inspectors to agree to the decision of the last Parish meeting to transfer the Lighting Authority at once, acknowledging that the Parish Council is in authority since June last." If the Inspectors did not agree to it, he did not see how they were to get out of paying their liabilities.—Mr John Edwards seconded the proposition, which was carried. Subsequently Mr S Lloyd proposed That in the event of the Inspectors declining to comply with the resolutions of the Parish Meeting that the liabilities of the Inspectors be not accepted and that the Inspectors themselves retain their present debts,—Mr John Edwards seconded the resolution, which Mr Venables Price objeoted to, that he could not second two resolutions. The Chairman said Mr Edwards could second as many as he liked, but if Mr Price wished, perhaps Mr Edwards would allow him the priviligo. Mr Edwards withdrew his seconding and Mr Price accordingly seconded the resolution, which was put to the meeting, 17 voted for the resolution which was declared carried. A vote of thanks to the Chairman for presid- ing terminated the proceedings,

O&SNBHWMM DEATH OF MR. ISAAC TAYLOR, J.P., COLESHILL. In the death of Mr Isaac Taylor, of Coleshill, which took plaoe at his residence on Tuesday afternoon last, there passed away one of the largeBt land ageots in North Wales. Mr Taylor had been íb failing health for some time, but the end came somawhat rapidly. The deceased gentleman was in his 69th year. Mr Taylor was a native of Flint and succeeded his father as land agent, and by his ability and tact in administering the duties of an estate agent beoame probably the largest representa- tive of property in the principality, holding a number of important appointments locally and in other parts of Wales. His knowledge of agricultural questions as affecting the tenure of land in Wales was considerable and valuable evidenoe was given by him before the Welsh Laod Commission recently held. In addition to the discharge of his duties as land agent, Mr Taylor found time to fulfil publio offioes. In Maroh, 1878, he was appointed a Justice of the Peace for the Borough of Flint, and frequently eat on the Flint Borough Bench. As trustee of the Flintshire Dispensary and also of the Holywell Savings Bank, and as a Land T-IX Commissioner he rendered valuable service, and for many years he was chairman of the late Holywell Distriot Highway Board. In addition to civic appointments, Mr Taylor, in early life was greatly interested in the Volunteer movement, being one of the offioers of the company of volunteers raised in Holywell by the late Earl of Denbigh. Upon the formation of the Flint Company he was appointed ensign and subsequently he was promoted to the oaptainoy which he retained for some years. In politics, Mr Taylor was a conservative, but never took any prominent and agressive part, and in religion he was a staunch churchman. Mr Taylor married Miss Gardener of Flint, daughter of the late Mr Richard Gardener who was Mayor of Flint in 1850, by whom he leaves one son and nine daughters, several of whom are married. When the death became known the flags on the Town Hall and Conservative Club were lowered to half-mast. The funeral, which will be of a semi private character, will take place at Bagillt Church-yard on Friday afternoon, and anyone wishing to pay a last respect to the deceased gentleman will be enabled to do so by attending the funeral service at St. Mary's Ohuroh, Bagillt, which will take place at two o'clock at which hour the funeral cortege is arranged to arrive at the ohurch.

THE NURSEMAID'S PETTY THEFT. 7b the Editor of the Flintshire Observer" SIB, I have just read in your Observer the letters therein signed Mercy Parent and employer —" Pained "—" A Parent "-they amount to this if anybody darea to punish a "young" thief, and especially if the prosecutor is a Welsh clergyman, he is denounced and is to be boycotted. These letters are simply letters of encouragement to petty thieving, which end in big jobs" to uphold the widely existing system of pilfering which house- holders in this neighbourhood are subject to, rather than expose themselves to abuse and slander, and also to the terrible system of having their house boycotted, and so cannot have or keep a servant. The Rev. Griffith Jcnes deserves the thanks of the public and if others followed his example society would soon feel the beneficial results. Did these correspondents of yours know all the circum- stances of this oase, they would rather praise the prosecutor. A MOTHEB.

HOLYWELL PARISH COUNCIL AND OVERSEERS. To the Editor of the 41 Flintshire Observer." Sin,-Pleaso allow me the medium of your Observer, which is always open to fair discussions of publio matters, to give my reasons for supporting the appointment of a new Overseer instead ofcontinuing Mr John Petrie, for years past our Overseer for Greenfield Ward, and who is also our representative on the Board of Guardiaua-(I) I consider it im- proper and not to the interest of the ratepayers and the poor for one and the same person to hold the two offioes-a Guardian of the poor and an Overseer of the poor. The two offices in the main are conneoted with the administration of the poor laws, con- sequently Greenfield Ward is deprived of the services of one person to watch and protect the poor. (2) The law states that the Overseers are to perform such duties in connection with the election of Guardians for the Union as may be imposed upon them by the Local Government Board regulations." How can Mr John Petrie consistently as Overseer conduct his own election of Guardian ? (3) The law says" Overseers wilfully disobeying the legal orders of Justices or Guardians are liable on con- viction by a fine." How can Mr John Petrie (humanly speaking) hold the two offices-a Guardian (himself) punishing an Overseer (himself)! But I discover the Poor Law Board have expreseed the opinion (they do not say it is the law) that a person appointed Overseer can be legally a Guardian of the same parish. This means the Poor Law Board are not prepared to object to the election of a Guardian if he is already an Overseer they are not disposed to fight the point in a Court of Law themselves, and consequently the legality of the same person holding the two offices of Overseer and Guardian is doubtful. Therefore I leave it to Mr John Petrie to deoide for himself whether or not he prefers to retain the questionable appointment of Overseer made by a majority of the Parish Council, or wait for the time when the Electors of Greenfield Ward shall decide upon the propriety of his holding two officee.-Youre truly, Greenfield, Tnos, HUGHES. April 18th, 18C6.

BAGILLT LIBRARY AND SOCIAL CLUB To the Editor of the" Flintshire Observer." DRAB SIB,—-I and many of my fellow workmen are very glad indeed to know that some good people in Bagillt are putting their heads and hands togetlur to set up a reading room and a club where young chaps like myself can tdrii in sometinies of an ovening to enjoy other young fellows' company and to Itok over books and papers that we cannnt all of tifi vi-I y well afford to bay.

It is the company we want, somewhere to pass the time frnm the CONSTANT noise of the ohildren, and the lodging woman's scow' "get out of the way for a bit." I wish the movement every success, and intend, along with many more, to become a member. Excuse the bad writing and spollixi g. -Yours truly, "LABOBE EST OBABE."

MOSTYN. MOTHER'S UNION.—On Wednesday last. the Ven. Archdeacon Howell delivered an address to the members of the Mostyn branch of the Mother's Union, in the newly re-opened School- chapel, at Rhewl.

RE-OPENING OF LADY AUGUSTA MOSTYN'S SOHOOL-OHAPEL. Last Sunday afternoon, the Lord Bishop of St. Asaph preached at the re-opening service of Lady Augusta Mostyn's School-Chapel, Rhewl. As a consequence of closing the Lime Bank School some two years ago, considerable en- largements and additions were required at the above place by order of the Education Depart- ment. The whole of the expense, amounting to several hundred pounds, was undertaken by Lady Augusta Mostyn, Gloddaeth, by whom the school was originally built in memoty of her late husband. A large classroom has been entirely re-built in the most approved style, and a new porch added, besides several im- provements in and outside the school. In addition to this, Lady Augusta Mostyn, entirely at her own expense, has made several additions and improvements in the main building, with the view of rendering it more convenient for the divine services which are held there every Sunday, and it will now accommodate between 300 and 400 persons. An elegant apse, with three coloured windows, has been added at the east end, and furnished by Lord and Lady Mostyn, of Mostyn, with an altar and handsome cloth, surmounted by a re-table & elegant cross A font, and a new harmonium have also been added, as well as other ecclesiastical furniture urgently required. By this munificentgenerosity the building has been rendered most com- modious and convenient for its use both as a day school and a place of worship. The Earl of Denbigh contributed largely towards the providing of additional desks, benches, &c for the use of the day school. At the re-opening service held at three o'clock last Sunday after- noon, there was a crowded congregation, among whom were present Lady Augusta Mostyn, and Lord and Lady Mostyn and family. The service was conducted by the Rev Griffith Jones, vicar, and the Rev W. Williams, curate, the lessons being read by Mr A. Barratt. The choir conducted by Mr Thomas Jones, and assisted by several members of the Parish Church choir, did its work remarkably well. The anthem was Simper's Halelujah, Christ is risen," in which the solo was effectively sang by Miss Alice Booley. The offertories during the day were devoted to the St. Asaph Diocesan fund for Armenian relief, and amounted to 111 2s. 6d., of which the sum of A:9 3S. 6d. was collected at the afternoon service.

♦ HALKYN. A REMINESCKNCB OF THE HOLYWKLL HUNT.—The following interesting communication appeared in the last issue of the Field, dealing with the colour of horses :—" Sir,—Some weeks ago there appeared in the Field several communications as to roan thoroughbred horses. I was in hopes notice would have been taken of a very celebrated dark chcs'.nut roan, the property of the then Hon. E. M. LI. Mostyn, afterwards Lord Mostyn. I have in my memory an occurrence of sixty years ago, in 18 35] or 1836, when a small, dark roan chestnut mare, named Usury, belonging to the above nobleman, met on the Holywell Hunt oourse Lord Westminster's celebrated and renowned Touchstone. Sz) coifident were the Eaton Hall party of success, that Touch- stone, in closing his career, was to be ridden by Lord Wilton. But, to the surprise of ail, little Usury, ridden by Tommy Lye, defeated cne of the great horses of the century. SIXTY YEARs AGO." [The raoe to which our correspondent refers was the Mostyn Stakes at the Holywell Hunt meeting, on Oct. 13, 19S5. There were twentv-six sub- scribers, but Rve starters only. Lord Wilton ran a mare named Languish, but the Calendar does not say who rode her, nor is the betting given. The mare Usury is described as a chesnut. She had run several times at small meetings, and had been often beaten.-ED. -Field.
