& "BLOODTHIRSTY DOGS." (To the Editor of the "Pioneer"). Sir,—Referring to tho ca.,e recently tried be- fore Judge Moss, one can but express astonish- ment at the ignorance of farmers over some matters. Tho holding of a. dog" up by its hind legs or tail until blood ruau- from its mouth or noso j-tii be no test G, to whether a dog has been sheep worrying, for if field up long enough blood would cc-rtainly very soon begin to ooze from the congested vessels of the nose, mouth ajid eyes. Besides, this M causing immense suffering to the animal. Some might suggest an emetic as being a more humane treatment-, for. should blood havo been swallowed it would then cer- tainly be noticed. But. it stands to reason t]¡:t I this method in many a would be highly dangerous on account of bones" Inch the dog might havo recently swallowed. As far as I can judge, the bcrt method would bo to call a veteruiary surgiecn, and let him I.XlH> a soft stomach tube; in this way, a washing of the stomach could be obtained painlessly and ef- fectively.—I am, etc., J.

iCHLRiH TEACH I N(TT>TcAR N AR- \'Ol\SHIRE CHURCH SCHOOLS. (To the Iveiitor of the "Pioneer.") Sir,—Alay I trespass 011 your space to draw attention to one or t \YO points in the "ulisc-n^iion wtncti took place at. tne meeting of the Car- narvonsnire Lducanon Consuime^ ua l'mirfcctay wee-k. (Speaking to a motion dealing with the dif- ferentiation in tho salaries pant to teachers in provided and non-provided schcols, Mr WiJliani tjeorgo, in trying to justify iiis support of the harsh treatment meted out to Church teachers, maeie two .statements which require correction. He once again asserted what has been disproved time aitcr time, v z., that tiie waole salary ü: the teachers in Cnurch Sehoofs is provided by the U.>unty Council. NAr George still overlooks the. fact tuat the Church, by the provision of school sites aiiQ1 school building.i, contributes very largely, tbougfo jierha.jw in an indirect way, towards trie teacuers «ulaaef. In this parish, for instance, there are three large Church Schools. At. a moderate computation the in- terest of the money represented bv the contri- butiocis of Churchpeoine who provided ttiese would amuu;it to no less than JB250 a year. By naving the ireo use of these build- ings, tiie coit to tho County council ot provid- ing etlucaiijii fc-r the childrea of this parish is less by JuiioU a \ear than Ti would lie if the Council had to provide its own buildings. Sure- ly 2bU a year saved to the Council is a fair c ■ntn.hution to the galar-cj of the Conway teachers, for the time occupied by them 111 giv- ing <A?noniinatK»nal religj<;us instruction. And this brings me to the second point I wish to notice. In January last Mr William George, On drawing at-tention to a report, on religious instruction, vvnku he blitiseit had called for, based on its contents the argument that tire aiinount cif timo devoted in Church (Schools to d nominational rel.gious instiiiction was so small that its iuwiortanoe did not justify tho con- tinuance .of the sej isio character of these schools. In other words, he tried to make out that according to the report very little definite Church tcacuMig was given in Church Schools. On 'llnursday last, howxwer, this tale was quite the c,,I) Taking the case of a Conway of the harshly treated—as typical, he argue," that because one-tenth of the teachers time is given to the teaching of tlie Church ot England Catechism, ilbe Cc^incil. instead ot raising the salaries of Church School teachers ought to be considering the question ot reduc- ing them. It omes t. this, then, with Mr William George. Wiien ihc wants an argument for doing away with Church Scihools. lie uses his reports to prove there is praeticaHy very little Church teaching given in them.—only five minutes a day on an average. On the other hand, when he wants a reason for net. giving to Churcth teach- ers the increased salary to which they arc en- titled, he employs the same i- Iyjrt to prove That there is a. great, deal of Church teaching given in tho schools—not less than one-tenth of the vvhnlc fohcol time being devoted to it. Mr George cannot have it lyd1 ways; neither he nor his report will make ]>ejplo believe that one-sixtieth is equal to one-tenth of the school With regard to the particular instance men- tioned by Mr George, 1 do not know upon what authority lie states that this teache,- is employed for ilia If-an-o,,tr a <i'av in teaching the Church ot- England Catechism. As a matter of fact-an(i I regret it is soi—neither this teaclaer nor any other in Conway schools devotes anything ap- proao'hi.ng this time jo the teaching of the Cateohism. Mr George'a ecuroc ci information 011 this point is wholly incorrect, and if his re- port has no sounder basis than this, it is not worth the paper it is written OI1--Yon, etc. J. W.

DINARTII HALL- STUD bL CCESSES.At the Hackney Horse Society's show in London last week, Messrs John Jones and Son, of the Dinarth Hall Pony iStud', were successful in ob- taining two first, one second, and three vi.iirtl nrises, although exhibiting in four classes only. to addition they won the reserve championship in the" pony nroduce group" with ponies bred by them selves, most of them being sired by tiie redoubt-able Julius Caesar II. As this is the premier hackney and pony show in Great Britain, Messrs Jolin Jones and Son are natur- ally proud of tiheir actiievejnent. Referring to the show, the "Daily Telegraph" says:—The concluding- day was chiefly confined to the ponies s Off all ages, and the judging commenced with the two-year-olds. There were only ten entries against sixteen last year, and of these but seven appeared. The winner was a great beauty, and quite in pony type, which soma of others wero not, and shoe belonged to Messrs Joihn Jones and Son, of the Dinarth Hall Stud, Col- wyn Bay, and was got by Julius Caesar, a well- "• built pony sire. Two three-year-old1 class num- bered ten entries. The winner of tho second r Zp prize, Jnlia Dot, exhibited1 by her breeders, Messrs John Jones and Son, is a. charming little brown, of not more than 13 hands, and quite- the smartest goer of the party. The four-year- old mares and upwards ntadc U." another small lot of 7 and not to. exceed 13 hands; they were mostly little gems. Messrs Jones a"ar to have a monopoly in this particular stamp, as nothing could* touch their Merry Star by Sir John, although she is now 14 years old. She has won hcr.) several times before, being first last year, and there was no mistaking her right to that honour on this occasion."

Mr R. J. Header, Btatiomnaster at Sandycroft Station, deposed that on Sauinhiy night he was collecting tickets from a train t;he at Sandyerolt frotm Colwyn Bay at 9.39. He asked defendants for their tickets. They produced third singles from Col- wyn Bay to Conway, and when this was pointed out to them they said they had been over- carried. Witness asked them to pay their fare, and they said they had no money. Defendants ■were. lined 10s and! oosts or fourteen days' hard labour.

Gwynfryn Jones, of Llandudno, but he was laid up with influenza. It was then decided to discuss the new Licensing Bill. Mr J. Crompton, the chairman of tho Association, who presided, heartily approved the measure, for the reason, as much as anything, that it was eo moderate. Mr Fred. Griffiths said that WaIcsJnd reason to bo thankful for the bill, seeing that it in- cluded Monmouthshire for the. first time and that the bona-fide limit would be six miles. The influence of Mr Herbert Roberts, the mem- ber of Parliament for the division, and the pre- sident of the Association, in the drafting of that section of the bill was vory obvious.. Griffiths described from personal knowledge scenes taking place at Rumney on Sundays, just over the border line from Cardiff, and he ex. pressed the hope that the disgraceful orgiefl there, which Mr IAoyd George once described as hell upon earth, would not be repeated thrce miles further on (applause). ]t would havo been a good thing if the bill had reduoed he hours of drinking, especially in the morn ng. That was more needed than reducing the num- ber of lice,ncci?. Mr G. Coulter rcferret Sunday drinking on pleasuro steamers. the other .nealfers were Mr Rowland Will.an and Mr T. J. Dowell, and a rcsoluUon was passed thanking tlie Government, for the b I, <md urging that every effort should be made to pas, k fnto law in its present form Mr Crompton was asked ti> write to ttie menmer — ,'ion, congratulating him upon the fact that thero was now a good proepect of the reforms which Mr Herbert Roberts has advocated for &o many years being carried into effect.

LLANDDULAS. TRADE.— There cantinuea to be a depres- sion in the local quarry trade, mainly bccause tho rougth weather ihas not abated sufficiently to allow- boats to load. STEAMER ASHORE. One result of the storm which ragged during the past week was that the s.s. "CoiiKlian'' (Ca.pt. Mclvie), the property of Mr Wm. Ro- bertson, Glasgow, was driven ashore. Between 1 and 1.30 a.m. on Saturday, after the boat had been ioaabd, sho was unmoored, hut so n after I she got away a short distance frc-iii the jetty, she caught the fun force of the storm, wthich was blowing from the North-West. The boat was swung right across the head of the jetty, breaking two piles of two cross-pieces, and then forced broadside on to the ebore a few yards to the west of the jetty, where she lies at the time of writing. There the waves broke over her continually, bnt the crew, with the aid ot ladders, were enabled to leave her in safety. Next morning, when it was possible to see what damage had been done, it was found that her bulwarks cai the side nearest tho sea had been stove in, and that her bottom was damaged, and that she was leaking. As the tides are now gro-ing smaller, it is feared that it will not be possible to refloat ber befDorO Tuesday next at the earliest. Luck does not seem to favour the owners of the bnat, for- this is the third of their craft that has been blown ashore hereabouts, during the nast twelve monfcSii1, the "Onyx'' coming to tirxible in March last, and the "Moray Firth" in November.

As the ceremony took place in London, then were ho fctvtivities at Abergele, but on the bride's return, about a month hence, there ivill be con- siderable rejoicing. A public meeting, convened by the chairman of tho local authority, lafii. weeik, apiKsinted a committee to deal with tlie preliminary prellara- tI, .c tions, and amongst, other things they havo al- ready collected a. very handsome sum of money from the residents of tlie town and district, whero tho family arc. so exceedingly TX>pular, for tho purpose of presenting the bride with a valuable silver tray. Alale members of the club and cafo recently prcounted to tho town by Air Herbert Roberts and the family are taking a very active part in tins work, while the members of the Girls Guild associated with the club (in the promotion of which Airs Biftge took a promi- nent part) have -r>ureh«^ed a beautiful travelling clock for tho bride. Tho premutations will probably be made at a public gathering at Abergele.

ABERGELE URBAN DISTRICT COUN- CIL ELECTION. AN URBAN COUNCILLOR'S QUALIFICATION. (To the Ediior of the "Pjcnecr''). Sir,-Ag there appears to bo a diversity of opinion as rega-i-ds the qualification of a candi- date for a seat on an Urbaai District Council, it may be interesting to point out that Section 23 (2) of the Lccal Government, Act, 1894. provides that a person i>hall not be qualified to be elected an urban district councillor unless he is a par- ochial elector of noma jxirish within the district, or lias during the whole of the twelve months preceding t.ho election resided in tho district, and no person sliall be disqualified by aex or marriage from being elected or being a councillor.—A am, etc., FREE LANCE.

-4> WIDENING A COLWYN BAY ROAD. (To the Editor of tho "Pioneer.") Sir,—Apropos of Mr George Duokers' letter in your issue of February 23th Concerning widening of Llanrwst-road, Co-wyii Bay, it is a grand tiling we ratepayers "of the hiJb" can look forward to. the pleasure of u.,irg a 36-feet toad some day. Some sceptical ana' 1 ungrateful ]Kv.ple have suggested that this ex- cellent schemo with its attendant great expense is a useful weapon in the Ihnnds of some of the Council, who would a'pply tho money to other sohemee. A "36-feet road must necessarily wait till the C1.HIl"i can spare tho money, but mean- while wo wou'd-be users of tiie roud would lie-, glad to get. say 24 fee' "on account. "remain- der to follow/' T'liis portion would enable }>eidestrianu to get cut of tho way of recklessly driven vehkles Which distribute the deep filush of the road as far a-s tho boundary walls or hRJkg alVvw. 'niauhing the Council in antici- jKttion of "a trood tin celling."—1 am. yours faithfully, dOllN 1IOOPKR. Br- lait, Upper Colwyn Bay.

UPPER LI.YSFAEN ROAD. (To the Editor of tho "Pioneer"). Sir,—Kindly allow uer tpace to bring forward a matter of vital importance to Llysfaen, namely, tho necessity of providing tho village with a- better and less hilly roici for traffic to and from tho Abcrgole-road. We have already a line new road for a great jiortion of 1 hI.) way, but the tIp- per end is as it, hue been for generations. Now, this does not meet with the requiremtnts of the village, which lias about 1000 inhabitants, and is still growing. A new road would encourage more visitors to frequent this beautiful "I)ot, and promote the building of villas and bungalows. Moreover, it would bring us into closer touch with our neighbours. I thi.uk if we can afford to sjieculato on a water e;»,stein, costing £8000, wo can venture on an outlay of £ 1000 or lec.4 op the improvement suggested. Nobody denies the existence of this grievance, but we are de- nied its remedy. I would appeal to those who duty it is to guard our interests to make a move fcoon in the matter, knowing that the local com- munity would be at thc-ir backs.—I m, etc., "INHABITANT."
