We ought to state that the information was given to our reporter by an usually well-informed c-orres- pondent, whose apology will be fou.nd elsewhere under the heading of correspondence. We, on .our part, apologise to Miss Marie Stewart, and regret tihat we should have unwittingly used her name in oonnecuoji with a public function at which she did not and never had any intention of appearing.

The Urban Council has lately been eng'aged in considering the framing of new bye-laws, and the result of their deliberations will sh xtly be published in these columns. There is no doubt that the members, with the assistance of their able clerk (Mv R. R. Owen) will aravo at a: wise conclusion. » < The decision of the Council to remove the pig sale from the public street merits the grate- ful su/pport of the residents. The string cf carts which every market day linos Station-red not only offends the eye, but is also a source of annoyance to the ear, and repugnant. to the sense of smell. The Ehteddfod Committee, after careful con- sideration, has adopted the subjects for next year's meeting,, and feel convinced they will attract a large number of competitors. T he general secretary, Mr J. D. Jones, and the musical secretary, Mr David Jones, are to be congratulated on the advancement of the pre- parations which augur well for the ultimate success of this popular annual functioh- Now the winter season with its long evenings is upon us, the youth of the town will be in- vited to attend the various societies formed as counter attractions to the public streets, and It is to be hoped full advantage will te taken of the literary societies, Bands of Hope, etc., whose moral environments foster a higher ideal of life in the minds of those who frequent them. < We often hear tho motorist abused for travel- ling on the Sabbath, yet dozens of children are to be seen every Sunday playing and shouting in the streets of the town. It would be well if the parents had more regard for the future of the offspring's by teaching them to resprct the Sabbath, and realise that it is a day of rest and not of recreation.

PENMACHNO. THE LATE MR C. A. VAUGHAN. The death took place on Wednesday week of Mr C. A. Vaughan (Andro Fychan), Bodalaw, Penmachno. Deceased, who was 68 years of age, for many years was the musical editor of the "Winllan," a Wesievan monthly, and was one of the pioneers of the Tonic Sol-fa system in Blaenau Festiniog and district. In 1868 he con- ducted a choir at the Bangor National Eistedd- fod. He composed several popular hymn tune", which have been sung with effect in many pans of Wales. He was a descendant of Sir Robert Vaughan, who, many years ago, was a large landed proprietor in the locality. He leaves a widow and his only daughter, Mrs E. Davies Jones, Llanrwst, to mourn his loss. On Saturday, in the presence of a large and sympathetic gathering, the remains of the de- ceased were laid to rest in the parish cemetery. The Revs. T. C. Robert, Gwilvm Robert- T. J. James, and William Lloyd Davies officiated at the house and graveside, and the Church ser- vice was performed by the Rev. Ben. Jones, rector of the parish. The hymn tune "Green- wich"' was sung with feeling by the large audi- ence. led by Mr Pryce Davies, at the Church; and also the tunes "Bodowain" and "Brynawel," composed by the deceased. The chief mourners were Mr and Mrs E. Da- vies Jones and family, Llanrwst; Mr and Mrs D. A. Hughes and family, Miss Vaughan (sister), Mrs Vaughan (sister-in-law), Festiniog; also Messrs J. E. Humphreys, R. R. Owen, E. P. Hughes, Mr and Mrs John Roberts, Llanrwst; Messrs E. W. Roberts, E. Roberts, Liverpool, etc. On Sunday evening, the hymn tunes composed by deceased were sung in the Wesleyan and Calvimstic Methodist Chapels. Mr Vaughan may properly be termed the "Father of Music" in the parish. For many years he was about the only one in the parish who could read music, and it is interesting to note that the first piano brought into the district was the one now in the possession of the family at Bcdalaw, and was a presentation by those who were anxious 40 years ago to appreciate the valu- able voluntary services rendered by the late Mr Vaughan in connection with the teaching of vocal and congregational singing.
