Mr Job Littlewood, butcher and publican, Holmfirth, died the other day from hydrophobia in a most virulent form. He was bitten a fort- ago by his own dog, but no suspicion was felt at the time that the dog was mad. The works of the Swindon, Marlborough, and Andover Railway were commenced on Wednesday morning. By this line, Gloucester, South Wales, and all the districts served by the Great Western Railway to the north-west of Swindon, will be brought into direct connection with Southampton. What may be considered the last English Synod of the United Presbyterian Church held its closing sitting on Wednesday, with the Rev. Dr. Simpson as moderator. It is expected that union with the j English Presbyterian Church will take effect next May. A report was presented on the progress of religion in the Church and on the influence of revivalism. The movement associated with Messrs Moody and Sankey was credited with beneficial influences, though instances were mentioned of fanaticism, aberration, and a tendency to under. favour of the more excit- not prepared S newspapers that toTeach-the u felt to an

ROUND ABOUT WREXHAM. I It is a thankless task at any time to criticise Church music in Wrexham, and more especially that given in the Parish Church, so I am aware that I shall get more kicks than halfpence, but someone really must do it. The Old Church CilOir is going worse and worse. Whose fault is it ? Is it the boys', is it the men's or is it the organist's ? Does anyone take an interest in the sing- ing; or are they left to scamper over a few hymns and chants on practice nights as best they can ? In the notice of services that appear weekly I see that the words organist and clioirmasler" are added. Will the gentleman who fills that post let his profession be more than a name, and yet his choir and organ in time. If be does that, I promise him a testimonial. Will that stir him ? I am not rich enough to afford a carriage and pair to drive me to Wrexham, on Thursdays, to do my market- ing, but some of my friends are the happy possessors of such luxuries, and I hey have complained loudly to me of the obstructions that are permitted in the streets of the town. There is one in particular of many years standing in Mount-street, where a tradesman, who cer- tainly has peculiar views as to the uses of the public highway, invariably tips up his carts in front of his gateway, and there leaves them until it suits his pleasure to run them into his yard. Add to this the want of a decent light, and you have all the elements for a good spill if you turn Yorke-street corner rather sharply. # One of my friends sends me a copy of the Bye Laws of the Borough of Wrexham" bearing date of the 28th August, 1861. As the mayor, aldermen, and council seem rather proud of their handiwork (they have their names in full on the eleventh page) I give the following extract which I think applies to the nuisance I have mentioned. On page 24, bye law 15, enacts- That if any owner or driver of any carriage, or cart, or other vehicle shall leave or suffer the same to stand and remain in any street in the night time, the person so offending shall lor such offence forfeit and pay a fine or sum not exceeding forty shillings." Can anything be clearer, and will any of the corporation officials give their attention to the matter; or do theYt-too want a promise of the universal testimonial to move them ? # # Candidates for the forthcoming' municipal election are very shy in offering themselves, Up to now no names are suggested, and I suppose we must wait until the current month has nearly run itself out before the bill poster will be commissioned to bedaub the blank walls. By the way, how many seats will be vacant ? The councillors wno retire are Messrs E. Smith, J. O. i Bury, J. M. Jones, and W. Siierratt. Rumour tells me that Mr Bury will retire from municipal life to devote his energies to work of a more profitable character. I think I can promise that the other three will again solicit our votes and interest. Mr Smith has proved himself to be a respectable councillor," and my memory cannot recall any scenes of which he was either originator or promoter. I prognosticate his re- turn to the council. Mr J. M. Jones will be backed by the good templars, and he ought and deserves to win, though he is a very feeble member. However, if beer is not to have all its own way, and teetotallers must be represented, l think no objection should be taken to the leather manufacturer sitting with publicans and —— (I had nearly said sinners, but I mean lawyers). The latter remind me of CouDciilor Sherratt. I cannot say much of his municipal services; perhaps in his ad- dress he will tell us of what nature they have been. Last year we were perplexed to know what colour he was painted-red or white. He is not likely to again enter the council, and I would strongly advise him.not to waste his surplus cash in a hopeless contest. Even should he be a cast-away, there are no aldermanic gowns on offer. But there ought to be a fifth vacancy. What has be- come of Councillor Lewis ? Will he not resign his seat now that he has changed his abode ? Perhaps the great dearth of candidates has imbued him with patriotic notions, and his love for Wrexham will not allow him see the seats going a-begging. I I suspect the question of Who's to be Mayor ?" has much to do with the absence of candidates. Ambitious men want to ascertain in whose boat they may row. Mr Walker declines the honour," and Dr Williams is not anxious to press forward for the office. If he is solicited, and is elected by the burgesses, it will rest with the council to make him mayor; and I hear the quidnuncs assert that some members have a sneaking regard for Alderman Owen, who, though at one time was not thought a good runner, is being better backed.

SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST, AND RESIGNATION OF THE SCHOOLMASTER.—On the master's book was a report to the effect that the schoolmaster of the workhouse (Mr W. Jones) had entered the house on Sunday evening, Oct. 3rd, the worse for drink. Mr Doyle thought the master might have added something else besides il the worse for drink," by saying that he brought another drunken man into the house with him, and also a bottle of spirits.— The Chairman remarked that the schoolmaster had given in his resignation, but it would not take effect for three months in the resignation the school- master thanked the board for their past kindness to him. That was very well so far as it went, but was it right that the school children should be left in the charge of a drunken man ?—Mr Doyle said they might suspend the schoolmaster and then dismiss him; he would not for his own part leave the children under such a man's care.—This seemed to be the general opinion of the board.—Some dis- cussion arose as to whether the schoolmaster would not resign at once.—The Chairman said if his resig- nation was given and accepted at once, the board could take no further proceedings.—The Rev E. Lewis said the master had not reported the worst part of the business, the bringing in of spirits.—Mr Jones (the master) explained that the spirits were brought in without his knowledge.—The school- master was here sent for, and having entered the room, the chairman said that the board was very sorry to find that he had once again disgraced him- self by coming home drunk and bringing a drunken companion and spirits with him.—The school- master was about to enter into a long statement as a defence, but the chairman asked him was the charge named true.—The schoolmaster admitted that it was.—The Chairman asked him if he willing to resign immediately, and he replied that he was. I After retiring he sent into the room a note as fol- lows :—I beg to resign my office as schoolmaster of the workhouse, to take effect to-day. Signed, W. JONES." This was accepted, and the schoolmaster shortly afterwards left.—A discussion then arose as to whether the children should be sent to the Na- tional School or another schoolmaster engaged for them.—Mr Doyle recommended that the children be sent to the National School.—Eventually it was agreed to adjourn the settlement of the question till next board day, and that in the meantime the master and mistress of the house be requested to take charge of the boys. TREAT FOR.TH^ CHILDREN.—All the children of the house left during the sitting of the board for Cefn, leave having been given them to attend the harvest festival at Cefn church, and Mrs Williams Wynn, of Cefn Hall, had undertaken to provide them with a good tea, &c. THE SANITARY DISTRICT QUESTION.—Mr Doyle, at some length, brought the question of one sanitary officer for Denbighshire and Flintshire before the board, and in showing its effect upon St. Asaph Union, said that at present £ 90 was paid to a medieal officer by the Union, X30 by the borough of Denbigh (in the Union), £10 by Pensarn, and X20 by Rhyl; but under the new arrangement they would only have to pay X85 as tha Local Govern- ment Board would pay X45 of that amount He also showed that several cases of fever occurred in Abergele (in the Union), but the medical officer could not deal with them, as they were brought from the district under Pensarn Local Board. Mr E. W. Gee, as a member of the Denbigh Town Council, the district under Pensarn Local Board. Mr E. W. Gee, as a member of the Denbigh Town Council, did not agree with the proposition.—A discussion ensued, resulting in a vote in favour of Mr Doyle's scheme.—There was no other business of interest.

ROYAL MASONIC INSTITUTION FOR Bo-yo.The quarterly general court of governors and subscribers of this institution was held on Monday, in the board- room, Freemasons' Hall, Mr John Symonds, vice patron, in the chair. On the recommendation of the general committee, the court considered and passed the motion of Mr Birch for Mr Jesse Turner, seconded by Major Creaton, "That the right to the presentation of a pro- perly qualified boy, in perpetuity, for admission to this institution be secured to the Provincial Grand Lodge of Cheshire on payment to the funds of this institution of the sum of £ 1,050." It was resolved to admit one boy by purchase on the 1st of January, and after Mr Alfred Layton had suggested that it would be advisable to in- crease the size of the institution, so as to allow of the admission of more pupils, the election of ten boys, out of an approval list of 58 candidates, was proceeded with. SOCIAL SCIENCE CONGRESS.—At the Social Science Congress, on Monday, Dr. Richardson, president of the health department, delivered an address, in which he drew a picture of a model city of 100,000 inhabitants, in which the sanitary arrangements were so complete that the average mortality would be only 8 per 1000 in the first generation, and 5 per 1000 afterwards. In the education department there was a discussion relative to endowments applicable to female education, while the national association for improving the education of women took the opportunity of holding a meeting in the Town-hall, and passed a resolution declaring the importance of giving to women a sound and systematic education. On Tuesday, Sir Charles Reed, president of the education department, in an address on Our edu- cational experiments." gave an interesting sketch of the progress of educational movements in the country, and of the results of the working of the Elementary Education Act. He observed that everything tended to show that ere long enforced attendance would be the rule all over the country in board schools. Experience was entirely against the system of free schools, and the abolition of fees would have the effect of sweeping away voluntary schools, which it was the object of the Legislature to preserve and utilise. He concluded by asserting that the hope of England in the future rested with her sons and daughters now under training in her schools, who, if wisely guided, would avoid the errors of their fathers, and achieve a work in the light of which their own might gladly be forgotten.—Papers were read on Wed- nesday on the composition of river waters, sanitary im- provements in Indian gaols, legislation with reference to the pollution of rivers, the prohibition of the liquor traffic, silkworm culture. and other subjects of like im- portance. The concluding general meeting was held in [ the afternoon. The Congress, it was stated, has been a successful one. Votes of thanks were passed to Lord

DENBIGH SCHOOL BOARD.—Mr Hughes desires us to correct the statement in last Saturday's Guardian respecting the complaints said to have been made of the durability and unsatisfactory quality of the desks and forms supplied by him to the school board; as such forms and desks are composed of pitch pine wood of the best and most durable kind. BOROUGH COLLECTOPsHip.-Among the candidates for this office, the one most likely to obtain the appointment seems to be Mr Edward Mills, the assistant overseer of the parish, and who has for some time collected the borough rates. He is a most eligible candidate, and, if elected, will with- out doubt, efficiently discharge the duties of the office. THE HIGH SHERIFF ON CONSERVATISM.—On Wednesday, Alderman William Chambres, of Liverpool, and Dolben, Denbigh, was a prominent member of a deputation that waited on Mr O. H. Williams, the retiring Conservative member for St. Paul's ward, Liverpool, asking him to consent to re-election. During the proceedings. Alderman Chambres (the Denbighshire high sheriff) referred in most eulogistic terms to Mr Williams's qualifi- cations, and then remarked that he was also a consistent member of the great Conservative party, which gave such a Protestant tone to the politics of the country, and without which this country would be very much cast down in the scale of nations. His remarks were received with much applause. HARVEST FESTIVAL AMONGST THE NONCON- FORMISTS.—On Thursday the various Nonconformist bodies of Denbigh held meetings of thanksgiving for the late bountiful harvest. The majority of the shops of the Dissenting tradesmen were closed during the greater part of the day to allow their assistants to attend the meetings. All the Dissenting denominations had agreed that the meetings shculd be of a united character and held at the various chapels of the town, the leaders of the different sects to take part in the proceedings. At seven o'clock in the morning, notwithstanding the coldness of the weather, a fair congregation met at the Baptist Chapel, Henllan-street; at ten o'clock a.m., the meeting was held at Pendref Wesleyan Chapel, which was well filled; at two o'clock in the afternoon a large congregation gathered at the Independent Chapel, Swan-lane, ( and the concluding meeting of the day was held in the evening at Capel Mawr, Beacon's-hill, which was crowded. All the meetings were of a very hearty character" The English Presbyterians did not, for some reason, hold any service.

ST. ASAPH. WESLEYAN CHAPEL.—At the Llandudno district meeting it was stated that the financial affairs of the Wesleyan chapel at St. Asaph "were in a hopeless state." and after discussion a subscription for their relief was agreed to. PRESENTATION.—The committee who managed the presentation to Miss Jones, on her marriage with the Rev D. R. Jones, have resolved to expend the balance of the fund then raised ia purchasing a handsomely bound Prayer Book for presentation to Mrs Jones, now of Lodge, near Chirk. HARVEST FESTIVAL AT CEFN.—The harvest thanksgiving services were held at Cefn Church, on Thursday, and although the day was miserably wet and uncomfortable, there were good congrega- tions, the services were of a most hearty and interesting description. In the evening an excellent sermon was preached by the Rev Robert Jones, curate of Denbigh, UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF WALES.—A meeting was held at the schoolroom, on Friday night, at which it was resolved to make a canvass towards the college sus- tentation fund. The committee consist of Professor Hughes, Dr Easterly, Mr Lloyd, Mr R. Jones, Mr Peter Roberts, chemist, and Mr J. Jones, Riverdale, treasurer. The Rev W. Morgan, aad Mr Richard Jones, Rol, as canvassers, have obtained about £ 20. FORMATION OF A MUSICAL SOCIETY.-A meeting: has been held in the city, at which it was decided to form a musical society, under the presidency of the very Rev the Dean, the Rev W. Morgan, and R. A. Atkins, Esq., being elected vice-presidents Mr Llewelyn Lloyd was chosen secretary and Mr J. M. Powell, conductor. The first practicewas held on Thursday, and a fair number of members have joined. The society hope to give a public rehearsal about Christmas, of Handel's mag- nificent piece, The Messiah." REVISING BARRISTER'S COURT.-On Wednesday, Mr Langford Foulkes, barrister at law, held a court at the Police Court, St. Asaph, for the revision of the lists of voters in the parishes of St. Asaph, Cwm, Tremeirchion, and so much of the parish of Rhuddlan as forms the franchise of Rhuddlan. Mr R. M. Partington was for the Conservatives, and the Liberals were unrepresented. The proceedings possessed not the slightest interest, and were unattended by the general public. There was not a single alteration made in the lists so that the position of the parties is unchanged. SALE BY MESSRS DEW AND SON.-On Thursday next, Messrs Dew and Son (as will be seen from an advertisement elsewhere) offer for sale, by order of the late John Lloyd Price, Esq., of Bryngwyn Bach, near St. Asaph, a valuable farming stock, including powerful cart horses, milch cows, and heifers, two- year old bullocks, 100 Shropshire-down sheep, pigs, poultry, a large collection ot husbandry, several acres of turnips, mangolds and potatoes, together with several ricks of wheat, oats, barley, stacks of straw, household furniture, &c. Luncheon will be provided, and the sale will commence at eleven o'clock. Two GRAND CONCEBTS.—The lay clerks of St. Asaph Cathedral gave their annual concerts in the National Schoolroom, St. Asaph, on Tuesday. The whole of the musi- cal arrangements were under the control of the Rev W. Morton, succentor of the cathedral, whose great musical taste and skill exhibited in the management of the con- certs contributed greatly to their success. Mr Morton seems to lay himself out in a most thorough manner,' not only to promote the efficiency of the choir generally, but for the welfare of the lay clerks and members of the cathedral choir, and on this occasion his anxiety was as apparent as over. His great skill as an accompaniest added much to the pleasure of the audience, and must have been a gieat aid to the vocalists. In addition to the lay clerks themselves the services of the following artistes had been secured:—Miss M. Dumville, of the Manchester concerts; Mr Gordon Thomas, of Bangor Cathedral; Dr Rowland Rogers, organist of Bangor Cathedral; J. Wilson Jones, Esq., of Liverpool; whilst R. A. Atkins, Esq., had consented to assist. The con- certs were under the patronage of Hugh R. Hughes, Esq., Kinmel, Lord-Lieutenant of the County; Lady Forentia Hughes, the Very Rev the Dean of St. Asapb, Mrs Bonnor, the Deanery; and the clergy and gentry of the city of the neighbourhood. The morning concert was well attended by the elite of the neighbourhood, the first part consisting of sacred music,land after a pianoforte and harmonium duet, Mr R. J. Clark gave in beautiful style, Thou shalt bring them in," from Handel. This was followed by a first class rendering of Handel's chorus, 11 Tlaen round about the starry throne," which was much appreciated. Miss M. Dumville was very success- ful in the solo, With verdure clad." Mr J. M. Powell's fine tenor voice was heard to great advantage in Handel, Deeper and deeper still," and Waft her, angels.' The duet, Go, baffled coward," was excellently dealt with by Messrs J. M. Powell and Gordon Thomas. Mr S. Powell followed with a very spirited and successful ren- dering of "Honour aad Arms" (Samson); the part being brought to a close by the chorus, The Heavens are telling." The next part was secular, and by far its chief attraction was a short descriptive entertainment, entitled Recollections of Llandudno, treated musically, quizzi- cally, vocally, and oratorically," by J. Wilson Jones, Esq., of Liverpool. Mr Jones displayed powers of a ventri- loquil and oratorical description, of the highest order, his efforts being much applauded. The choir gave the part songs, "0 hush thee, my babie," and You stole my love," in good style; Miss Dumville, with taste and ability, sang iThe Minstrel Boy," and "The Sailor's storyj" Mas- ters W. Kelly and H. Pierce excellently rendered the duet, 0 charming May," which was much ap- preciated, Mr J. M. Powell was awarded an enthusiastic reception in the song Love in her eyes sits playing," and the quartet, "In this audience for his share of the programme. The evening concert took place at half-past seven, and was well attended. It was, if possible, a richer treat than the afternoon. The whole of the pro- gramme was capitally rendered. Much praise is dne to Mr Atkins, organist of the cathedral, for the very valuable assistance he rendered, accom- panying as he did many of the singers in that masterly manner for which he is famous. Dr Roland Rogers also rendered valuable aid. On the whole, the concerts were of a superior des- cription to those generally given under similar circumstances, and the lay clerks may now be assured that their popplarity is thoroughly estab- lished, and that the extent of their patronage will yearly increase. The concerts also prove that St. Asaph Cathedral possesses a choir second to none in Wales. We hope the secretaries, Messrs J. Clark and G. W. Partington, who have rendered valuable services in that office, will find on com- pleting the monetary arrangements that they have a good balance on the right side.

It is asserted that much of the Jersey cider exported to England is largely adulterated by the use of sugar of lead, which the manufacturers employ in order to clarify the liquor and give it an older appearance. Cases are reported in which all the symptoms have been produced on persons who daily drank the liquid thus treated. The coLSS m^ar of.lead this purpose is said to be very fnHaH J ier,e 110 Food Adulteration Act in LtS nennV/rt1 Llce.nsinS of last year orders heavy w; + f°r the adulteration of cider and otfier in- fw cot g s' ?re 1S not ttie ieast provision made for securing supervision.

The chief cause of this lamentable ignorance is that no great effort on a com- prehensive scale has been made to educate the peoSe through I?a satl0Q of the grevious loss they sustain Hf their ignorance in this respect, and at the same time to carry into their homes 4he knowledge that is wanting. When we reflect upon the fact that the inhabi- tants of other countries, from the superior know possess of how to prepare and cook their food, are able to wm,M K°mf0rtuP°? an inC°me 0n whlchan Englishman k™ ?h 6V? suPP°rt himself, it is high time that this ignorance should be dispelled. What would seem to be wanted is an inexpensive means of carrying L flf7 household throughout the land a practical knowledge of how to make the most of every article ot f«*;h fAni we.are h°Pefal that these means are at length forthcoming in a form that will command success. The publishers of that great Educational Encyclopedia, the Popukr Educator, have determined to issue most thorough and complete Compendium of Cookery ever attempted, in the belief that such a work, being made the most comprehensive as well as (Wing regard to its contents) the cheapest ever issued, will find its way into the hands of many hundreds of thousands whom it closely concerns. At all events, the great experiment will be commenced this month, as the tirst monthly part of "Cassetis Dictionary of Cookery will make its appearance on he 25th.
