NOTES FROM THE BANKS OF THE MENAI. (BY AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT.) Carnarvon, Wednesday. HARVEST THANKSGIVING SERVICES Are being held this week in nearly every town and hamlet throughout Carnarvonshire. Monday last was recognised as a general holiday in this town, the tradespeople, with very fewjexceptions, having agreed to closejtheir places of business. Having received such kindness at the hands of their employers, and the object in view being so eminently deserving of all that might be rationally expected from them, it was to their shame that so many "counter jumpers" and "quil drivers" and others employed allowed them- selves to be seen parading the streets and leaving the town in the trains. There is no doubt but that such unworthy conduct on the part of such ungrateful servants, tends greatly to increase the stubborness that is often displayed by employers to close their establishments on special occasions. Each denomina- tion held its services in its own place of worship, and thereby gave no opportunity for that sectarious com- petition," and prejudice, and bigotry to manifest itself, which, alas is too often the case when different sects are united in public devotion. THE COCOA-ROOM MOVEMENT, which has for some time been in the ideal, is very likely to become a pleasing reality in this town. An influential meeting was held in the Guild Hall on Monday evening last. Mr H. Pugh (mayor) presided, and there were present some of the leading gentry and tradesmen. Thirteen directors were appointed, and it was resolved that a capital of 94000 be raised, in 4000 shares of £ 1 each. The first payment of 5s. to be made on taking the shares, and the second would not be required for three months after the payment of the first. Nearly 350 shares were taken in the meeting, and it was decided, in order to seek the interest of the working class, by getting them to purchase shares. We heartily wish this worthy and greatly-needed project every success, as the drink traffic in this town is simply awful. There being in Carnarvon such a great number of mechanics, and shop assistants, and young men otherwise employed, we heartily hail the establishing of YOUNG MEN'S LITERARY ASSOCIATIONS. There are already six such associations established in connection with the various places of worship. It is deplorable to think that institutions of this kind have not had the support they deserved from the young men of Carnarvon, and that, as a youth said, and perhaps his" excuse" fairly represents that of his comrades, 11 because he did not like to betray his ignorance." It is to be hoped such unmanly excuses will not be made this year, but that the young will gladly avail themselves of these rare opportunities to cultivate and enrich their minds. SIR LLEWELYN AND LADY TURNER received a very hearty welcome on their return, on Tuesday, from their wedding tour on the Continent. Innumerable banners and flags, of various sizes and colours, were projecting out of house and shop windows, and forming arches across the principal streets, some bearing sentiments expressive of long life and happiness to the newly-married couple. A congratulatory address was read to the esteemed knight and his lady at the station, and several costly gifts were presented them. An immense concourse of people had gathered in the neighbour- hood of the railway station, and the air was rent by their vociferous hurrahs," as the happy pair drove past in an open carriage. In the evening, a grand display of fireworks took place in the square. The worthy knight is very highly esteemed by the Caraarvonites, on account of his readiness always to assist in every good cause. We believe he filled the mayor's chair efficiently for over twelve successive years. THE LIBERALS in this county have at last bestirred themselves to their sense of duty, but they greatly lack unity, system, and co-operation. One branch of the Liberal association takes upon itself to advise this gentleman to stand in the Liberal interest, and another branch docs the same with another gentleman, and the result of this unsystematic proceeding will no doubt be that there will be either too many candidates or none at all. As it is the universal belief that the general election is close at hand, it is really high time that the Carnarvonshire Liberals should abandon such child-like play, and go at it with all their might to send forth their judgment to victory.
