Ellis, (eldest daughter of Mr Thomas Ellis, Mostyn), was solemnised at Whitford Pariah Ohuroh, by the Rev Joseph Davies, curate of Holywell; assisted by the Rev John Davies, vicar of Whitford. The pro. ceedings were graoed by the presenoe of the Right Honourable Lord Mostyn and Lady Mostyn, the Hon. Edwin Moatyn the Hon. Roderick Mostyn, and the Hon. Gwynedd Mostyn, of Moatyn Hall, and the church was crowded with the friends and well-wishers of the eontraoting parties. As the bride entered the saored edifice, leaning on the arm of her father (who gave her away), the bells of the church rang forth a merry peal. The bride who wore a drees of heliotrope oloth trimmed with silk of a lighter shade and passementerie, and a hat to matoh with lilao trimmings, looked exceedingly pretty; she was followed by the bridesmaids, Miss Enid Ellis (sister), and the Hon. Gwynedd Moatyn; the duties of beat man being undertaken by Mr H. T. Hincks, of Chester; whilst the Hon. Roderiok Mostyn escorted his sister in attendanoe on the bride.

The oeremony was opened with the singing of the hymn, The voioe that breathed o'er EdeUT" and passed off in a suooessful and interesting manner; the responses of both bride and bridegroom being ex- ceedingly clear. After the signing of the register and as the newly wedded couple were passing down the centre aisle they were met by Lord and Lady Mostyn, who congratulated them upon the happy event. They then left the Ohuroh to the strains of the "Wedding Maroh," which was played by Mrs Mao Nicoll, and to the accompaniment of another joyous outburst from the balls, whioh were under the supervision of Mr Wm. Jones, Whitford. On emerging into the brilliant sunshine, they reoeived quite an ovation in the way of showers of rice and hearty congratulations, and drove off to Coed Isa (the home of the bride) where a reoeption was held, and later in the day they left, accompanied by the hearty good wishes of all, for Caerwys Station, tn route for Aberystwith, where the honeymoon will be spent.

The Provisional Chairman welcomed and congra- tulated the old members of the Council on their return at the recent election. It showed that the ratepayers were highly pleased with the way the representatives oarried out their duties. He hoped that during the ensuing year they should be aa prosperous in their work as in the past. ELECTION OF CHAIB3U.H. The Provisional Chairman (Mr J Carman) said, as senior member next to Dr James Williams, it gave him much pleasure to propose that Dr Williams agin fill the duties of chairman of the Council. Hia performance of the duties of the offioe during the past two years bad been most satisfactory and he had shown great tact and ability.—Mr E Bryan as next senior member, seoonded the proposition.— Messrs T H Waterhouse, R Riohards, J H Hague, and W Owen supported the motion.—The proposi- tion having been eaaried, Dr Williams on taking the chair, met with a hearty reoeption. He said he thanked them for the handsome manner in which the Council had once more paid him the compliment of cdeoting him to preside over their deliberations. He bad looked upon the ohairmanship as a two years tenancy, but being requested to accept the office during this exceptional year, it would be ungracious on his part to decline the honour, at the hands of the Council. APPOINTarawr or VIOB-OOAIBICAK. The newly-eleoted Chairman said he was a great believer in seniority in the conferring of the honors of the Counoil, Mr J Carman was the u^xl in seniority, and perhaps he might be the one naturally entitled to the vice-chair, but under the circum- stances he thought it only right that the next in seniority, Mr E Bryan, should be vice-chairman, and with the permission of the Council he made that proposition, Mr Bryan had rendered signal service to the Counoil.—Mr Waterhoase seconded the proposition, and Mr W Owen supported. Mr J W Davies If seniority is to carry honour, I think the honour can be shared with some of the younger members. I propose that Mr Lambert be elected to the vioe-ehair.-Dr J 0 Jones seoonded the proposition, which was supported by Mr Hague. Mr Carman said it was unfortunate tha' there should be an amendment. He advocated the avoidanoe of a division in making the appointment. Mr Lambert said the proposition came quite as a surprise, and under the oiroumstanoes and being a piibliiJ body he could not withdraw. TbA amendment was put to the meeting and was supported by four members, the original motion was supported by nine votes, and Mr Bryan was declared elected. Mr Bryan said he thanked the Council and Mr Carman speoially. He had a conversation before the meeting-(" a caucus meeting") -with Mr Carman, and he was glad of the opposition as it tended to show the strength of certain parties. He felt obliged to Mr Lambert for t' e comrli- inent he ti1!tpald him. Had he known Mr Lambert was tc be proposed for the vice-chair he should not have allowed himself to be nominated. He did not suppose that those who proposed Mr Lambert were his reGI true friends. j Mr Lambert was exceedingly obliged to those councillors who supported bim by their votes. There was only one remark he took exception to, and that was as to whether they were his true friends or not. He did not believe in .1 hole and oorner" meetings to arrange matters before the Council met. Mr Griffiths: I must say I know nothing of such a meet;mg. Mr J W Davies: We are called here to eleot a chairman, but it seems that "hole and corner" meeti0j$.s are held by some, and the others are left in the dark. The Chairman: I am not aware of any such meetings. Mr Bryan Mr Carman and I had a conversation and catic to an understanding so far as we were concerned. There was no feeling between us and that is an that is meant by the hole and corner meeting. Mr man I am glad you gave that explanation. Mr Lambert: I also had a conversation with Mr Carman, and told him I was going to be proposed, and that I should stand. 00JOCIITBBS. The whole Council was appointed to form the several ,'iommittees, and the chairmen were elected as follows: Finance-Mr Thos Griffiths; Drainage. Water sad Well—Mr Joseph Jones Lighting and Highway-Mr W T Waterhouse; Market-Mr J Carman; Sanitary-Mr J H Hague; Town Improve- ment an^jQfeneral Purposes—Dr J O Jones-—Other business^? minor importance waa transacted.

The election of Chairman being the first business of the Council, Mr Richard Jones proposed that Mr Samuel Jones be eleoted Chairman of the Council. -Mr Llew Jones seoonded the proposition, which was oarried unanimously.—Mr S Jones in accepting the appointment thanked the Council for the dis- tinction they had conferred upon him in electing him the first Chairman of the Brynford Parish Council. He should endeavour to disoharge the duties with credit to the Council, and he trusted that the efforts of the Council would tend to the development of the parish, and in particular to obtain the long wished for road aoross the parish from Halkyn to Pantasaph (hear, hear). Mr Llewelyn Jones proposed that Mr Peter Griffiths be eleoted Vioe-obairman. Mr Richard Jones iseoonded the proposition. Mr P. Griffiths proposed an amendment that Mr Richard Jones be eleoted Vioe-ohairman. Mr R. Jones (Milwr) seoonded the amendment. Mr Jones deolining. Mr Edward Hughes was proposed by Mr R. Joues (Milwr) but was not seconded. Mr P. Griffiths was declared duly elected, and thanked the Council for the honour conferred.

Marsden inoidently remarked that an interesting and fortunate alteration in the rating, by the oporation of tho Agricultural Rating Act, would have a good effect upon Brynford. Land being about half of the rateable value of the parish, the rate in respect of land would only be one-half of the rate made (hear, hear). On the proposition of Mr Llewelyn J ones, seconded by Mr Griffiths, it was deoided that Mr E. B, Marsden, of the National Provincial Bank, be appointed treasurer. It was resolved on the motion of Mr Richard Jones, seoonded by Mr P. Griffiths, that the meetings be held monthly for a period of six months. It was decided to hold the meetings on the third Thursday in the month, at ieven o'clock in the evening. Mr Llowrlyn Jones called attention to the representation of Brynford on the District Council and pointed out. that although two members were J allocated to Brynford yet they were, under unfortunate oirounafltanoes, praotioally without representation. He oast not the slightest reflection upon either gentlemen. He objected to the action of the Rural Distriot Council in recommending the reduction of the number of representatives for Brynford.—The Chairman suggested that Mr Leaning be asked what were his intentions with regard to retaining office being that he was now noa-resident in the parish. He understood that the District Council had no option but to appoint one of the Holywell Councillors and the Bagillt members declining, Mr Petrie was appointed. It was an ungracious act on the part of the Oounoii. Mr Llewelyn Jones proposed that the Local Government Board be petitioned to up- hold that part of the order allocating two repre- sentatives for Brynford on the Rural District Counoil.-Ur P Griffiths seconded the proposition, which was carried unanimously.—On the proposi- tion of Mr Llew Jones, seconded by Mr Benj Price, it was decided that the County Council be requested to appoint Brynford a distinotoonstituenoy separate from any part of Holywell, for the election of a representative on the County Council.—It was resolved that the meetings be open to the public.- Mr E Hughes called attention to the closing of a footpath at Penypylle, which he alleged was a publio footpath,—The Clerk was requested to com- munioate with the Rural District Council with the view to the appointment of representative of that authority to form a joint committee with the Parish Council representatives to enquire into the matter. The Chairman and Messrs Edw Hughes, Richard Jones (School), and Llew. Jones, were appointed to represent the Parish Council.

The Rector preside' and the Rev. 0 Davies, B.A., curate, Messrs J W M Evans, H Owen, M Rogers, R Price, Robert Williams (Old Anchor), J B Lloyd, and many others were present. The Rector in opening the meeting said he wished to bring before th6 Vestry the question of the parish houses, but before do;ng so, he could not but refer to the two great incidents of the year, viz.. the oonseoration of St. Catherine's Welsh Oburch-the noble gift of Mrs Ishmael Jones, and the passing of the Voluntary Schools Act. Speaking of the Schools, he said that although in former years the management of them was very diffioalt, yet it was always a source of intense pleasure to him; they had now passed through a crisis, and their future welfare was insured. In Flint they had not suffered very much from the demands made upon them, and the Rector had never asked any subscriptions of his parishioners but he had always met every demand made without oalling for any assistance. The Rector also re- ferred to Miss Florrie Price, a pupil teacher in the Memorial Schools, who reflected credit upon her teacher, herself and parents, by passing the Queen's Scholarship, and obtaining a 1st class in December last.—The Rector appointed Mr J W M Evans bis warden, this being the 22nd year of Mr Evans service in this capacity.—Mr R Price pro- posed and Mr H Owen seoonded, the appointment of Mr M Rogers as the people's warden.

The Rector believed that Mr Taylor was right that they belonged to the Parish, and consequently all repairs aud other oharges ought to fall upon the rates. The transfer of the alms houses was made on the proposition of Mr R Williams seconded by Mr J J Clarke

He considered at the time that she would probably not recover from the shock. He saw her three times and she eventually died, not having recovered from the shook. She wa- carefully attended to while she lived by skilled nurses and received every attention. His last vitit was about ten o'clock in the evening, aud she died about ten minutes afterwards.—The Jury returned an unanimous verdict of death from shock, consequent upon barns sustained. LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD INQUIRY. On Wednesday,oat the Town Buildings, Oolonel A G Durnford, R.E., an Inspector appointed by the ILool Government Board, held an inquiry into the applioatiou of the Urban Council for sanction to borrow £ 550 for the completion of the public build- lngs. There were present at the inquiry—Messrs r H Waterhouse, T Griffiths, Joseph Junes, J H Hague, J W Davies, W Owen, nnd Robert Thomas (olerk), Mr John Marsden (collector), and Mr Thos Thomas- The position of ths Council in regard to the Building Fund of the Town OBioes was laid before Colonel Durnford by Mr Robert Thomas, who pointed out that the overdraft on the building account was JE496 14s Id, and the requirements in the shape of asphalting the front of the buildings exceeding the loan, &o- would be £ 35 6s lid—Mr Waterhouse remarked that the Council was of opinion laterly that the application should have been for £700, as there were considerable work required to properly fit up the buildings. -Oo]oDel Duruford said there was nothing to prevent the Council oon- sidering the matter, and by forwarding a resolution to that effect to the Local Gouernment Board, it Would be forwarded to him and he would make a recommendation.—Mr W Owen said the old Local Board got the name of being extravagant, but the Urban Council waa working on economical lines, and he as a member should object to any advance in the amount of loan as the Council was of opinion that the amount asked would be cufficient. -Colonel Damford: That is not before this Inquiry.—Mr J Thos Thomas said he thought the general sentiment Would be that the buildings should not be left in | their present condition, and they would not grudge £ 150 more tj make the place decent and presentable. Mr T Griffiths and Mr J W Davies approved of the remarks.—A vote of thanks was accorded Col, Durnford for his courteous inquiry. MARRIAGE AT THE PARISH CHURCH.
