LLANELIDAN. HARVEST THANKSGIVING SERVICES. The Harvest, Thanksgiving Services were held at the Parish Church last Tuesday. The English service was at 3 p.m., and the Welih at 7 p.m., The rain interfered a little with the attendance in the afternoon, but in the evening the Church was exceedingly well attended. The services were read by the Rev T Prichard, rector, and the Rev Thomas Jones, rector of Rhos, preached two very appropriate sermons. In the evening the choir sang the anthem, Clodforwch yr Arglwydd,' under the leadership of Mr E P Jones, in a very good style. The sacred edifice was elaborately decorated for the occasion, and presented a very nice appearance. Mrs Naylor Leyland, of Nant- clwyd Hall, kindly gave plants, flowers, and fruit in attendance. The following also contributed corn, &c :—R Roberts, Bylan; J Roberts, Waen- rydd J Jones, Rewl Goch E T Jones, Leyland Arms; and M J Edwards, Garth-y-Groes. The following assisted in the decoration, and are de- serving of thanks :—Mrs Prichard, The Rectory Agnes Hubbard, S Alice, Evans, Harry, and Charlie Hubbard, and R Lloyd John Evans.

PLACES ON THE RIVER CLWYD SEVENTY YEARS AGO. (FROM THE RIVERS OF WALES ILLUSTRATED,' 1813). The river Clwyd passes about a mile to the east of Denbigh, and flowing by Lleweni Hal), where the late Hon. Thomas Fitzmaurice estab- lished extensive bleechicg grounds, creeps under Pant Gryffyth, a bridge of one noble arch, aDd pursues its course to Bacho Graig, a curious old house, embosomed in trees, built by Sir Richard Clough, about the year 1569. From thence it proceeds to Llanaich, where is another bridge, and on the east side stands Llanarch Hall; whence flowing to the east of S. Asaph, it is soon joined by the impetuous Elwy. The village of Bodfari is prettily seated under the hill north of Lleweni; near it flows the river Wheeler, in it progress to its confluence with the Clwyd. Above Bodfari stands Maes Mynan, now belonging to Sir Thomas Mostyn, formerly called Llys Maes Mynan, the Palace of Maes Mynan, where Llewelyn ap Grflydd, last Prince of Wales, resided in a house whose foundations were to be seen in an adjacent meadow, till within these few years. The views of the Vale, in the road from hence to Tre- meirchion, are extremely fine, and include the Snowdon Mountains. In Tremeirchion church are some good monuments, particularly one of Dafydd Ddu, or David the Black of Hiralddig This church formerly possessed a miraculous cross. The cross is demolished, but the carved. capital is still to be seen. Brynbella, the seat of Mrs. Piozzi, affords views of the same character and interest." ST. ASAPH. Is situated upon an asoent, riaing gradually from the verge of the impetuous Elwy. Its handsome bridge, the buildings intermixed with fine trees, and the cathedral crowning the whole, forms a peculiarly pleasing soene. It derived its ancient name of Llan Elwy, from its situation upon that river. The township in which it stands is called Bryn Paulin, and one part of it Bron Wylfa, or the Brow of of the Watch; from which circumstances, as well as from its situation be- tween two rivers, it is conjectured to have been the place of encampment of Paulinns, in his way to or from Anglesea. The Church of St Asaph was first founded by Kentyera, Bishop of Glasgow, who; when he was driven from his Bee, in 543, retired into Wales, and established a Monastery for 965 monks, and being recalled into Scotland, nominated Asaph or Hassaph, a pious Briton of good familv, as his successor. Asaph died in 1596, was buried in the cathedral, and gave name to the place. During the wars of Henry the Third, in 1247, the diocese was destroyed by fire and sword; and, in 1282, the cathedral was butut down, but ample amends were made by Edward the Prst. In 1402, the ohurch, together with the palace and canons' houses, were burnt by Owen tflyndwr: after which it remained in ruins for 80 years, when it was rebuilt by Bishop Redman. The edifice is a plain noble building, with a large square tower in the middle. The choir is new, and boasts a handsome window, in imitation of one at Tintern Abbey, in Monmouthshire. The painted glass was executed by Mr Eginton of Birmingham. Here is a tomb supposed to be that of David ap Owen, a munificent prelate, who died in 1512 and in the church yard there is a plain altar monument of that amiable prelate, and excellent divine, Bishop Isaac Barrow, who died in 1680. The parish church stands at the lower part of the town, near the river. In the ohurch-yard is a aingular tomb, insoribed around, His jacst Ranulfas de Smalwode:' it has a shield, with a lion rampant: beneath which, is a sword held by a hand. The palace was rebuilt after it had lain a hundred years in ruins, by David ap Owen, in 1503, and is now rendered a convenient residence by the alterations and additions it has lately undergone. The deanery is situated upon the opposite side of the river, near the end of the bridge. The rivers Clwyd and Elwy now proceed in a direction nearly parallel, till they form their junction, when the name of the latter is lost in that of the former, and the Clwyd rolling under the walls of Rhuddlan Castle passes through the the walls of Rhuddlan Castle passes throagh the bridge, and washing the base of the bank upon which the church is seated, flows through the celebrated marsh Morva Rhuddian and empties itself into the Irish Sea."

COUNTY MAGISTRATES' COURT. MOHDAY :-Before Dr Jenkins (in the chair) and George Blezard, Esq,

A ROW IN CBISPIN'S YARD. John Jones, Crispin's-yard, Ruthin, was sum- moned for assaulting Eliza Davies, of the same neighbourhood, onitbe 13th inlit. The complainant deposed to being a iieighbour '"I "STs 1« heat her by holding a stick above her head. She frightened at this and ran to a neighbour's house. He subsequently kicked her on the side. They had had a row between them previously. Catherine Hussin, also of Crispin's-yard, said she was close by when the defendant menaced the oomplainant by holding a stick above er_. He did not, however, use the stick. C P was afterwards kicked on the side by defendant. She (witness) did not see him do so. Robert Roberts, Crispin's-yard, Ruthin, said he was attracted out of his dcnncile by the row Which had been created by complainant and defendant, both of whom were quarrelling. He saw Jones hold a stiok over her head, and on the point of striking her therewith when her niece jumped to it and tumbled him down. Defendant (who was drunk) contrived, whilst he lay on the ground, to kick complainant on her aide with the palm of his foot! (laughter) The niece in question, Margaret Grace Davies, said defendant held the stick over her aunt's head, and would have struck her with it had she (witness) not jumped to him. Defendant kicked both of them (meaning witness and oomplainant), and said he was advised by "Jones, the police," to use the stick. When she jumped to the stick, defendant fell down, and whilst in that position kicked both of them when he heard her aunt send for the police. Police Constable Thomas said he was called to Cri! 4-yard, where he found defendant drunk and .ery violent. He had to put defendant into his a rn house by force. Defendant was undtrstood to say he was much irritated by the provoking conduct of complainant and her daughter. They had assaulted his sister whilst she was washing her herrings at the Water Works (laughter), and on his proceeding to re- monstrate with her, defendant jumped to him. They had aggravated him previously by burying y a dead donkey within ten yards to his door I (laughter). F .Defendant was fined Is and 12s costs. F ADJOURNED CASES. A case against William Thomas, Mwrog-street, iLuthin, was adjourned for a fortnight.—An affiliation case by Ann Davies, Efenechtyd, against William Jones, Llanrhydd-street, Ruthin, was adjourned for a month. HELPLESSLY DRUNK, A disreputable locking tramp, bearing a dis- figured face and giving his name as William Mason, of Macclesfield (Cheshire), was brought tip in custody charged with drunken and dis* orderly conduct. Police Constable Thomas said that on the Saturday previously (the 27th) he found defendant in Well-Btreet, in a qtate of helpless drunkenness and creating disorder. He was lying on his back on the street, and being a stranger and moreover in such a state that he would be refused admittance to any lodgings, was taken by the officer into oustody. Defendant admitted being drunk but had, he said, no recollection of being disorderly. He was knocked, he said, in the eye as he turned round the corner, and that dazed him. He was fined 3s 6d and 6e 6d costs; in default 7 days im- prisonment. KLEPTOMANIA OR SHor-LIFTING ? A respectably-dressed woman, named Elizabeth Jones, living at Llanbedr, was charged (on re- mand) with stealing a quantity of libbons value 48, on Wednesday the 24th inet. Ernest Oswald Barron, draper, said he kept a drapery establishment in Well-ttreei. The defendant who was a customer of his, came to his shop between 11 and 12 of the morning of the -previous Wednesday, and asked to be shewn some ribbons. He directed an assistant named Wil- liams, to show her some, and stood in the middle of the shop. Shortly afterwards, Williams came to him saying he had lost a piece of ribbon. Wit- 33* ne«s, thereupon, went to the defendant and said »^he had lost a piece of ribbon, adding that there no one in the shop but her. Defendant appeared agitated, and denied having taken it. He asked her to allow herself to be searched and, on consenting, took her to the end of the shop, lifted her shawl and found the ribbon concealed under Ler arm. She said she was very sorry and hurried oot of the shop, ^nd he thereupon com- municated the fact to the police. The ribbon she municated the fact to the police. The ribbon she i.ad taken was worlh 4s. Put.fendan^ b*d boQght «. yaitl and a half of other ribbon, and also a yard of "brown Holland." wn- -j >. A youth named Enos Jones Wl]liam.V"J* Was an esristant to Mr Barron, and on the day in question, served defendant with h yard of nbbon and one yard of » brown llolland, In the position that defendant stood whilst facing witness, a hoi of ribbon was placed before htr, containing the roll that was stolen. After serving her with those gooday defendant asked him to get her a yard of the ribbon that was displayed in the window. He turned his back from her for a moment in order to reach the ribbon she required, and on refacing her a,5 u °* "bbon was missing from the box. He told his master that he had lost the ribbon, and he, at once, Came to her with the result that he found the ribbon in her possession. Defendant had been a customer at tne shop for many years. Police Constable Thomas said he apprehended he defendant at two o'clock on the afternoon of the day in question, at her home, Ty Mawr, Llanbedr. She at first denied having been ever in town, but on the road to Ruthin, admitted tuat ■he had stolen it, saying she did not know what came over her." She was taken before tbe Magistrate that day, and remanded. Defendant, who had no one to represent her. ne with her, wept a good deal whilst the •"DANCE was given, and, in ans wer to the charge, twk it UP with TTE ether GWDS sb.$HAD j Mr Edward Jones, Tai Ra'r, said defendant was well-known to him for about 30 years, during which time she had always borne a very good character. She was the wife of Evan Jones, Ty Mawr (who, the defendant said, was too busy to come to the Court and had three grown-up daughters. Mr W E Ellis volunteered evidence of character to defendant. He was, he said, chaplain of Berth Chapel, and had known the defendant for nearly five years. Her character, so far s he knew, had during that time been upright, and honest. The'Bench fined defendant 19s land 21s costs. The Chairman remarked they had Laken a lement view of the case in consequence onthe request O Mr Barron to deal with it leniently. They hoped this would be a serious warning to,"defendant, and they wished it to be made known Shat I future another case of shoplifting woo, before then, it would be "7'S„ J indeed Up to recently, there w P tho ma'ffistrates but of sending persons g^ty cf tno magistrates uu im isonment) but by an°Act"OFFTPFTRLIMNEIIT, to whioh MR Adams, tlitir clerk? had called their attention, they were allowed to impose a fine instead of committing to prison.,The fine was paid, and defendant left the Court. There was no other case.

COLONEL WEST AND MR. WILLIAM EDWARDS. APPLICATION TO THE HIGH COURT. In the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court of Justice, London, on Tuesday, before the Lord Chief Justice and Mr. Justice Grantham, sitting as a Divisional Court, Mr. Marshall in- structed by Mr. Osbert Edwards Ruthin), moved, on behalf of Mr. William Edwards, for a rule nisi for a certiorari to bring up a conviction by the Denbigshhire justices in order that it might be quashed. It "appeared from th'o statements of counsel that Mr. William Edwards was a tenant of Mr. Cornwallis West at Ruthii until the 10th June of last year, when he wads adjudicated a bankrupt. An official receiver was appointed on the 17th June, who sold the gr4as and crops in July, and other after-orops until, September 29th, but in no other way was Mr. Edwards interfered with, and he went on tilling the land. Nothing occurred to draw his attention to any act of inter- ference by the trustee until the 17th December, when he received an intimation1 from the sub- agent of Mr. Cornwallis West, that the trustee had disclaimed on the 11th N^f ember. It was found as a fact that a document had been sent by the trustee to Mr. West or his agent of the nature of a disclaimer, bit it was inoperative because it was more than three months after the appoint- ment of the trustee. The Bankruptcy Act pro- videdjthat any disclaimer must be made within three months of the trustee's appointment. Mr. William Edwards remained » in possession of the land until the 22nd May last, and prior to re- ceiving the notice of disclaimer he had expended a considerable sum of money in manure and labour, which expenditure, he alleged was within the knowledge of Mr. West's agents, Mr. Edwards remained in physical possession of the land, and paid the rent as it became due into the local bank at Rut hin. In July, to his great surprise, he found a padlock and chain had been fixed to the entrance I to one of his fields. He broke the chain, and was served with a summons to appear before the justices for willfully and maliciously damaging Mr. West's property. The magistrates convicted him of malicious damage and inflicted a nominal fine. The learned counsel argued that where a person charged with malicious damage acted under a claim of right the jurisdiction of the justices was ousted, and the claim of right must be settled by a higher court. Their lordships granted the rule nisi against the magistrates. +

COMMENTS UPON THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION (BY AN OBSFRVER). The advent of November again brought into our midst the turmoil and the sudden familiarity of candidates, generally attendant upon a municipal election; preceded, of course, by the election "manifestoes," all of which promised, as may be very well conjectured, fulfilment of every require- ment expected of budding legislators. Their temporary and gushing acquaintance with every one possessing the needful," their insatible desire to be at everyone's service, the benignant smile of recognition which flitted athwart the features of our candidates; all these phenomena were most noticeable. Although our contests have up to now not par- taken of a political character, yet it is generally surmised that the questioh of whether the candida- tures shall be conducted on party lines next year, will form the subject of intent cogitation to our political associations. T Both parties fortunately have contrived to be in- vulnerable during past years against the attempts made to introduce among us the political canceuvres of larger towns; but the action cf one whose notoriety for unsurpassed presumption is unequalled, has had the effect of determining the political asso- ciations to assume in the future conduct ether than that which they have pursued in the past. The characteristics contained in the foregoing paragraph, distinguishing the politician alluded to, suffice to indicate his individuality. His action the attempt to get elected a candidate willing to contract that if he obtained the support of his followers, he would support him in any project he propounded. The question of whether that project would be advantageous to the town was presumably not considered. These lines are written ere the result of the poll is declared, but the unfeigned chagrin that has been expressed at such tactics is such as to lead the writer to venture to predict that the candidate who lent himself to such a purpose will find himself at the bottom of the poll. The conduct of the other party in the matter is only such that could be ex. pected. The successor to Col West in the chief office in the boroagh will, in all probability, be Mr W T Rouw, whose popularity is well known. Ineffable amusement was caused by a rumour that Mr T P Roberts aspired to the mayoralty I The mayoral mantle descending from the shoulders of a gentleman holding the highest position in the county, upon those of the councillor mentioned, would be too good—in fact, coming from the sub- lime to the ridicdlous.

ST. JACOBS OIL. ITS SUCCESS AND POPULARITY. Perhaps there is no preparation in the world which enjoys the same degree of success and popularity as St. Jacobs Oil. Its sale far exceeds that of any other Proprietary Medicine, alid exceeds by ten times that of all otlier liniments and embrocations combined. This wonderful success rests on the solid foundation of merit which St. Jacobs Oil possesses, combined with original, dignified, and systematic advertising, which has Sways characterised the announcement* of the Proprietors. The name of St. Jacobs Oil has become a household word in every civilised country in the world. The great success and popularity of the Oil has become the subject of comment by almost the-entire Press of the country. In many instances the leading articles of large and influential papers have been devoted to thft details of what seemed to be almost magical cures effected by the use of St. Jacobs Oil in local cases, coming under tile immediate attention of the publishers. St. Jacobs Oil is endorsed bj Statesmen, Judges, the Clergy, the Medical Profession, and people in every walk of life.

Jones is such an estimable and model policeman in T. H's eyes, no one was good enough to drive him to town, and therefore he bad to tramp the seven miles. Such a long walk naturally sharpened his appetite, and he therefore, on arriving in Denbigh—this being his only opportunity of attending to the inner man before he got home next morning —he proceeded forthwith to the Cross Keys Inn, .iw.tø4 right eppgfit* tin poUct ptatig;p .11. where he always put up. He went to the front door, as T. H." admits, knocked, and was let in, and bad what he required. If the constable went to the front door, and walked in his usual manner, as • T. H." states, it is hard to see how he acted with the stealth of an Indian chief." T. H." sees the difficulty, and throws an air of romance over his story by boldly asserting that he gave "two peculiar taps at the street door. How were the taps peculiar? Did he tap the door with his nose, or scratch it with his finger; or did he opperate on it with his baton ? The story is mere rubbish, for if the man wanted to avoid being seen he could have gone in through the back way, but knov ing he was there on legitimate business, be went straight to the front door, and on his knocking was admitted. I think I have effectually disposed of this Detector of Detectives," and in conclusion I would advise him to steer clear of public houses ion Sunday nights, or else he, in his turn, will be detected.—Yours, X. Y.
