T ..¡ŒEITH DIXO", FL. F.L ,VY, ST ASAPH, V. E JO-I-ES AND CO., TIMF'KH CAHIUKBS, Mr Aneurin 0 Evans, solicitor, Denbigh, ap- peired for plaintiff to claim the sum of £ 4 12a cd, damage caused by negligence of the de- feiidfUits' servants. He stated that on the iTih June the plaintiff was proceeding homes tr Denbigh, and when by the Graig Quarry he was met by the defendants' timber waggon coming down a steep hill. He passed thu trout j of the waggon when the hind wheels skidded and crashed against hire, smashing his dog-cart in several place?, and can-n:g the harness to be bioken. The wagon was loaded with larch wood, and the wheels were 13 from the front wheels. The tmount, was very reasonable, indeed it was only what ilr jjixuu of uocket through the accident, as was pro1 e t oy the Ul: duccd. which showed than. *3 lis 6d was paid for repairing damage done to the trap and £ 1 3 s for the harness. Mr T Grifuth Dixon, the plaintiff, said On the 13th June lie was driving home from Denbigh in his dog-cart with Miss Dixon When ne was at the bottom of the hill, by the Graig Quarry, he met the timber waggon which was drawn by three horses. Ther;a a very load of of some of the finest larches he had seen for a long time they were very lung i ones, and because of that the hind wheels cf the waggon were a considerable distance apart from the front wheels. F-i «?-ove j pitsi, me uonti wneeis, where tnere was jdeutv of room. At the time the timber waggon was rounding a sharp curve, and they di'f not stop. He was on the proper side of the road, and be drove as close as he possibly could to the side of the road. To all appear- j ance-, there was room enough to pass, but as he got by the hind wheels' they skidded and struck against the trap, smashing it and the] harness.0 It was all done ia an instant, but he could not give any reason why they did do so, but there was a sharp turn in the road. The brake of the timber waggon caught in the step and the wheel of the dogcart and did the damage. When he told the driver he had not taken sufficient care the driver answered I taken sufficient care the driver answered I am very sorry. I cannot help it with a load I like that." The man was very civil. The dogeart and the harness had been repaired, and the bills produced were the attiotiiits charged by the respective firms for the repairs. He took the opportunity of doing what he could to lessen the cost, and what he now ela-mcd from the defendants was nothing but I what was absolutely paid. He was cross-examined by Mr Mcseley. solicitor, Denbigh, who appeared for the de- fence, with a view of showing contributor negligence and lessening the damage done. He denied standing in the recess on the road he never stopped till the crash com- pelled him tc do so. Re-examined by Mr Evans, plaintiff said that the pole of the waggon to join the front and the hmd wheels was not long enough, thev were joined by a chain. Mr MGG— H' .hci e was no negligence un the part of the defendants or of their servants. The timber waggon was proceeding to Derhigh along the Plas Chambres-road, and whilst coming down by the Graig the waggen drawn by three horses, in the care of a driver whilst coming down by the Graig the waggen drawn by three horses, in the care of a driver and a brake's man, thev saw Mr Dixon, who was standing by the recess iti the road, wait- ing as they thought fot the timber waggon to 5 tso. and so they --I straight on. But instead of Mr Dixon -raiting he drove on, and I having cleared the axle box uf the wheel which was the widest part, he came in contact with the brakt. Had Mr Dixon waited until the whole of the waggon hvl passed everything would have been all right. 1-lvati Foulkes the carter said he had been in the employ of E Jones and Co., timber carriers, for over four years. On the 19th June he was I, in charge of three horse-* and the waggon. Whilst approaching the Graig House lie saw -li-r D; n a littie waN, fic-ii rie II t -uc road leading to the house. Mr Dixon was standing there when the front wheels of the I waggon passed him, and then he must have ;u »e on, for he noticed nothing more t:i.u1 his n ate cried "whoa" j Mr 'Ivans Are you surprised when von are j ^oing rcund a corner for the lattor part of the i agg >n to sk>d iiot at all. ] TI-~ •> udgs Die' jour vacson si id?- No. j \ir- F«—• 12 Mv T«v™ sfandir.g fou had no reason to look b--ick ?--No Well how do you know that the waggon did lot skid?—It could not shid. If it was a frosty day it might do so. Continuing in the cross-examination witness said the place was dangerous, because the road was so narrow. The wheels of the waggon, front and hind, were about 13 yards apart, and were connected with a chain. Francis Hughes, brakesman, said he was in I, the act of putting on the brake when going down the hill at the back, and he was certain I that the waggon did not skid. I In cross-examination he said he did not see Mr Dixon before he came in contact with the waggoi. When the crash took place the first part of the waggon was going around the curve, but it did not skid. M: Peter Hnghes said he was coming down from the Graig house when he saw Mr Dixon coming past the house belonging to Mr Davies, the butcher, towards the Graig. Mr Dixon seemed to stop there, and he saw waggon coming. The head of the shaft horse was by x i U' Mr Dixon, and just before the first wheels of I the wasrgon passed him Mr Dixon went on. The waggon did not skid at all, and if Mr Dixon had stopped where he was the affair would not have happened. He did not t.h:K there was any negligence on the part ot the men. The Judge said that he did not think any- one could doubt that the wheel could skid. The carter himself had admitted that he could not help it with a load such as he had, a very- heavy one, and he thought it was negligence on their part to take such a load. If Mr Dixon had stopped to see if the way was clear before proceeding, it only showed that he had been the more careful and wished to avoid danger. The evidence showed that the front wheel passed him all right, and that going round the curve caused the back wheel to skid he did not see how it could have been anything else, when the wheels wero so far from one another. Judgment would be, therefore, given for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. 4.

PETTY SESSIONS. '¡4 :L 'ttf.i(" before Messrs W Williams (chairman), E Morgan, W Thomas and Trevor J D Jones. At the last brewster sessions.tha^ranting of the licence of the Travellers' Inn, aRrfr Tonge, was deferred in consequence of ^complaint lodged by the police concerning Sunday trad- ing. Supt Hughes now said that he had thoroughly investigated the case, and was satisfied that the people found in the house on the occasion alluded to were travellers of a kind, though perhaps not bona fide travellers within the meaning of the Act. They came from Berthen Gam a distance of nearly four miles, and therefore he did not feel justified in taking any proceedings against the landlord. Mr Toifge in answer to the Bench stated that he was very particular as to whom he served on Sundays. There were many people who called on their way from St Asaph to Pant- asaph or to Holywell, Mostyn and Trelogan. Of course he did not profess to know them all personally, but after putting the ordinarv questions as to distance traversed, &-c., he made all applicants for refreshments sign a book, furnisning particulars, which he con- sidered, ample e testimony and a safeguard against anv charge being made of his serving illegally. The Bench considered this explana- tion very satisfactory and granted the licence.

TRANSFER. Mr Pochard Edwards, landlord of Pwllgwvn Hotel appeared, and said he wished to have the licence of his house transferred to Mr Donnell. The latter produced testimonials of a. highly sausfac^ry autl. che „,wi3j«r was granted. Supt Hughes said he had known Mr Donntll from childhood, and had never heard anything of him which would cause him to object to the application; he also kliew mm 1,0 bt: very respectably connected.

VALE OF CLWYD AUCTION HART, RUTHIN. I' Mr By ford held his annual sale of store ewes 11 and lambs and pedigree rams on Monday laiit- the entry was an extensive one, being consider- I( ably more than was catalogued, and which numbered 3000, but was exceeded by nearly 600. There was ii considerable all-round im- provemenr- in the various classes of sheep, and wa«, no doubt, the best and largest collection ever offered at one day's sale in the Vale of Clwyd; the dividing of the various classes entailed a considerable amount of iabour, but, the Auctioneer, being ably assisted by several leading farmers in the Vale, had them all penned by the advertised time, ancl shortly after twelve o'clock tbe sale commenced, the ewes being disposed of first. This took about two hours and a half. In previous years the I. Auctioneer sold all lots in the ring, but being such a large entry this time was not appointed but each lot was sold in the pens in order to save time. Immediately after the sale of the ewes the Auctioneer entered the rostrum and commenced selling the pedigree ram lambs singly, his son, Mr Scott Byford, who Mr I. Frank Lloyd had kindly sent over to assist his father, commenced selling the store lambs in lots of 50, and by 4.30 the sale came to an end, and was considered, taking into account the drop in all kinds of store sheep this season to have been the most successful sale ever held at I the above mart. Mr Williamson, Derwen hall; Mrs Wynn. Cefn, St Asaph; Mrs Williams, Berth, Hhewl; and Mr P E Story, the Coppy, Denbigh each favoured the Auctioneer with a superb lot of pedigree, Shropshire and South- down ram lambs, and it must be gratifying to remark that we noticed a considerable com- petition for each lot, which must result in a still further improvement in the sheep through the Vale and the surrounding country, We regret that space will not allow a further description of this important sale, merelv adding that the attendance was a record one. and we understand most of the lots were acid. .0-

The first lesson was read by Mr W A Jones, and the second by the Rev J F Reec,o. The choir gave a fine rendering of Simper's anthem, Break forth into joy," and the hymns, which were heartily sung by the con- gregation, included, "Come, ye thankful psoplo come" sung as a processional, "The Sowsr went forth sowing," and God iue1 Father, whose creation."

At the evening service in Welsh there was a large congregation, and a good discnurse was delivered by the Rev T Pritchard, of Rhos, Ruahon. Offertories were taken at both services to be equally divided between Church expense8 and the Diocesan Societies. .11

Hymns 284, "From my Heavenly Home," and 537, P(ace perfect peace," were nicely sung. Miss H Jones Y8I''Y ably presided at the organ.

LLANYNYS. HARVEST FESTIVAL. On Tuesday, the 19th inst., the Harvest Festival Services were held at the Llanynys Parish Church as follows :—8 a.m., early celebration of the Holy Communion, at which the vicar of the parish, the Rev D Williams, officiated. English service at 3 p.m., when the Rev T LI Williams, vicar of Gwyddelwern, preached a most appropriate sermon. Welsh service at 7 p.m when the Rev W E Jones, rector of Bylchau, preached. The aftern^- sei'v ..O V» ci. in the evening the Church was crowded. The Church was most beautifully and tastefully decorated by the following laes: JUrs Williams, The Vicarage the late Mrs Tooth Mrs Coltart Mr, Mrs and Miss Broad, The Grange; Mrs and the Misses Jones, Hafodynys Mrs Ker- shaw, Buarthe; Miss Dorothy Williams, and -Miss Lena Williams, The Vicarage; Miss Cisaie Jerman, and Mr H Jennings, head gardener, Cerrigllwydion. Plants, flowers, fruit and corn were very kindly sent from Cerrigllwydion, The Grange, Buarthe, Hafod- ynys, Plas Llanynys, and Pontilen, A lovely wreath of corn was woven by Miss Harriette Jones, of the Plas Llanynys, which was utilised in the decorations. Usually, these services aro held under bright and happy circumstances, but on this occasion, quite a gloom was cast over them, and universal were the expressions of sorrow and grief at the sudden J All and loss of a most estimable lady and Ch rch worker, Mrs Tooth of Cerrigllwydion. The blow was all the more severe, as oaly the day before, she, together with the above, with loving hands and willing hearts, had assisted to adorn the house of God with corn, fruifc, &c., emblem- atical of a bountiful harvest. She had a little time ago presented the Church with a complete set of altar linen, and of late with a silk veil and burse, most handsomely worked by hersslf, and which was used for the first time at the early celebration, at which she intended to be present. What a happy ending of a Christian life, that the last hours of her abode on earth should be spent in the house of God. It was her intention to preside at the organ for the English service, and she had attended the last practise in preparation, and no doubt had looked forward to the festival day with joy and happiness, but the call came Well done thou good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." At the close of each service the Vicar most feelingly alluded to the sad loss the parish had sustained, and invited the con- gregation with him. as a mark of respect and a boken of sympathy with the family, to remain standing while the Dead March in Saul was played by Mr Jerman, who presided at the organ in both services. j

Thi3 property, as it is so conveniently situated, is well adapted for business purposes, but there was only a small company present during the salo. The bidding was started at £ 450. and ran up to £ '355, which was the bid of Mr i Vaughan, coachbnilder, at which price it withdrawn, the price not coming up to the reserve.

(JAEUWYS. THE FAIR.-Or. Tuesday last the usual monthly fair was held. Aiarule the September fair is meagrely attended, but it was quite an exception on this occasion. There was a good show of cattle and numerous buyers. Prices, however, were not very remunerative. SCHOOL INSPECTION.—On Wednesday morn- ing last the schools were visited by E Morris, Her Majesty's inspector, under Article 84 (B). He entered very minutely into the work of the Syllabus for the last half-year, spending over 4 hours in examining the scholars, and at the finish he made tho following remarks in the Sei ool L g Book, which are very encouraging to the teachers and satisfactory to the managers The work is systematic and there is evidence of careful instruction, both in the Mixed and Infant Departments." THE AIXKOED CASE 01" SCHOOL TRESPASS.— The fact of one of the scholars from Caerwys school having captured a scholarship in the Moid County School, seems to have aroused the righteous indignation of the Headmaster of Holywell County School. He suggests that Caerwys is in the Holywell district, and that therefore they have a claim upon us. We should be sorry to insinuate that preference is given to Mold in consequence of any superior teaching, but we do say unhesitatingly that Mold a far more convenient centre for us. We have the railway accommodation in the first place, which goes far to place Mold in the tront. It would be unreasonable to expect young children to trudge 6 miles every Friday evening and 6 miles back on Monday morning, l.i s»*i i-r» attend school. We should be very glad indeeU to scholars to Ho'.vwell were the circumstances equally favourable. We have several likely to compete at the next Scholarship Examination at Mold, but should the threatened protest of the Holywell Governing Body prove effectual, and should Mold exclude us as outsiders, then I fear Caerwys parents will want a lot of persuading to send them to Holywell.

GOLDEN WEDDING OF THE REV. CHANCELLOR BULKELEY I JONES AND MRS. BULKELEY JONES. PRESENTATION BY ST. PETER' I CHOIR. t L- I The Rev Chancellor Bulkeley Jones and Mrs Bulkeley Jones have recently celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding day, and, needlepa to say, they have received many haar.y congratulations upon thia nniqae and hearty ■?rvent. To mark the occasion the members of the choir at St Pater's Church decided to make | a present to Mrts Ba.keley JoneB for the double purpose of shewing their respect for her person- I ally, and as a recognition of the great interest sh,4 has < vinced in the choir for many years past. The presentation took place on Friday evening in the Parish Church vestry, at the CIOPS vi the weekly practice. Those present in addition to the chorisrers were "the guest of the evening (Mrs Bulkeley Jones), the Rev Cbancelior Buikeity Jones, the Rev J Fisher, and Miss Mdwards, organist. The duty of making the presentation, which was in the form cf a buautitulgold thimble, devolved upon I Mr Fisher, who parformed his tiek in a vr-ry genial and graceful manner. Mr Fisher said he had been asked to make tbe presentation on behalf of the choir, and he felt great pleasure I in doing eo. Some FEW weeks ago, when it became known that Mrs Bulkeley Jones and the Chancellor were celebrating their golden weddidg, it occurred to some of them connected with the choir that it would be a fitting opport- unity of shewing their respect for Mrs Bulkeley Jones and of recognising the great intereot she had for many years taken in the choir. AI. thouzh the thimble was a small thing in itrelf, Mr Fieher remarked, still they trcsted Mre Bulkeley Jones would appreciate it the more I especially on account of the great amount, of work she had done with her thimble on behalf i l 1 J V J iuc f jv many more years of wedded life to make use of the thimblo and to take the same kindly interest in the cboir as she Lad done durivg her lens; connection with the parish. Mri Bulkeley Jones, in acknowledging the presentation, expressed her sincere thanks to the Rev J Fisher for the kind words to which he had given utterance, and the members of the choir for their handsome gift. She re- marked that more t'1IUl one thimble bad become worn out through ;her sewing woik, f v<r. oh; wsa afr?.fd o.he was afraid she would! not lire long enuugn to wear this one out. She had by means of her thimble collected £300 or X400 fnr the bell::51- of the choir and ether objects. Mrs Bnlkely OJ. -3 concluded by againexpressing her hearty thanks for the kindly feeling which had prompted the gill. During the proceadinge, Mr R Lloyd, school master of Bortbyn School, recited a poem of much merit, which he had composed for the happy occasion, addressed to Mrs Bulkeley Jone*. We shall publish the verses next week they did not reach us in time to appear with this report. •»

RHUI)DLAN. HAKVEST FES" IVAR.. The harvest thanks- giving services were held in the Parish Church, on Friday, 22nd inst. Notwithstanding the rather unfavourable state of the weather, the parishioners mustered in strong force and evinced the greatest enthusiasm. There was Holy Communion at 10 a.m., and there was a large number present. The English service was at 3.15 p.m., the special preacher being the Rev D Davies, M.A., rector of Denbigh, who took for his text the words of St P*i!, Bear ye one another's burdens, and so ful'1! the law of Christ," vi. 2. It H most appropriate discourse, and lLf:ou. im very appreciatively by the large congregation. The anthem was I was glad, &c. by Sir G J Elvey, and was accurrately and effectively rendered by a very full choir, many of whom had sacrificed their day's work in order to be present. Such self-sacrifice and selfdenial are a proof of the true interest they take in the services. The Welsh service was at 7 p.m., thp nreacher being the Rev W Morgan, B.A. (Penfro), vicar of Llansaintffraid-Glan-Conway. Mr Morgan is well-known, not only as a very successful bard, but as one of our most eloquent and impressive Welsh preachers. The Church was very crowded, and although the preacher spoke for an hour, his hearers manifested no signs of being tired. The anthem, which was again excellently rendered, was Dy Roll Weithredodd, &c. by D Parry. Mr ihomas Davies, m his usual able manner, presided at the organ, and Mr Edward Evans, choirmaster, lei the choir. The Church was very prettily decorated by the following Pulpit and East end, Miss Vaughan, Miss Bahr, Miss Williams, and Miss Garrett (Pengwern). Font, Mrs Conwy Bell. West window and lamp stands, Mrs R Thompson. South east windows, Miss Enyon and Miss Wiliiani3. Window bv rgan Miss Wynne. Windows on North and South sides, Miss Compton (New Inn). Choir stalls, Miss Roberts. Mr Robert Hughes, Vicarage, and Mr Robert Roberts, llylas, gave valuable assistance.

The choir had tea at the Boys' School after the afternoon service. Miss M J Williams, and Miss Griffiths presided at the tables.

GWAENYSCxOR- COMING OF AGE PRESENTATION. On Monday, a very pleasant evert took place at Caegwyn, when a very handsome silver entree dish was presented to Mr E A D Morgan, of Caegwyu by the parishioners of Gwaenysgor, as a token of esteem for himself and the Caegwyn family and in, celebration of his having attained his majority.

Ihe family much appreciate the kind- ness and thoughtfulness of their friends in Gwaenysgor.

TRAINING A CHILDTETC. "Spare to? rod, and spoil the child," saii Solomon, and foi many years schoolmasters and schoolmistresses acted on his advice with the approval of parents ami the tearful improvement of their pupils. Tilings have, however, changed; the rod is iu disrepute, and the modern mother prefers a spoilt chillI to a smarting one. Solile would go further, and take from the teacher even the light of ordinary reproof, if not by law, by vigorous aud terrifying assault. In the interests of the oomnmnity the teachers must be protected from such matrons, and the sharp lesson read oilb to one of the kind at Thames Police Court, it ig to be hoped will not be lost. Miss Daw, the headmistress of Gill Street Board School, Lime- house, had occasion to reprove a little girl for misbehaviour, and punished her by standing her 11111. comer with her face turned to the wall. Aftev standing in this position of disgrace for fV8 minutes, the child was .allowed to go home. To the ordinary mind such a punishment is nofc/very terrible, but to Mrs. Davis, the child's nnfcihei' who lives in Three Colt Street, and who lnq/pcned to come on the scene as her daughter was leaving it seemed to call for energetic reprisal. N0t"'1 finger had been laid on the youngster, bnl Davis Indignantly demanded of ¡hel' off spr«. .t Why didn't you kick her UIJlP" -e her legs ? meaning thos.e of Miss Daw. She iMseized tin latter lady aud shook her violently o-Stm accou* paninient of unprintable language. 'I'Hit. wfJIJ her triumph. Miss Daw's came afterwards, wlttC* Mr. Dickinson, after some strong remarks on iiixv conduct, fined Mrs. Davis 20s., with 23s. costs. -o<
