Wrexham Guardian

Rev. Canon Jenkins,- vicar -<>f "Aberdg/e* faftfr • -^cidled .resi^o^ia eohsisqtienta bf ill health. The Rev. Canon Falloon, who has given up the living of St Bride's, Liverpool, for the living of Ackworth, Yorkshire, was on Thursday presented, by his late con- gregation, with an address and £1,050. The chancellorship of Llandaff Cathedral, vacant by the death of the Rev. C. A. Morgan, has just been filled up by the appointment of the Rev. George Woods, M.A, of University College, Oxford, roctor of Sully, Cardiff. The Bishop of Meath, in his charge to the clergy of his diocese, said that the superiority of a regular Church system over a religious revival was that while the former was applicable in all cases, the latter depended for its efficacy upon the exciting effects of numbers. The Archbishop of York. speaking at a diocesan meet- ing, contrasted the readiness of the Nonconformists to erect temporary church buildings where needed with the tardiness of the Established Church in doing the same thing. He enjoined upon his hearers the propriety of making an effort by which no clergyman in the diocese would be in receipt of a salary under £150 per annum. The B:sbop of Ripon has been appealed to against the decision of the rector of Marsden, near Hucidersfield, refusing to allow the words" requiescat in pace to be cut on a tombstone in the churchyard. The bishop upholds the decision, and points out that the words really institute a prayer for the dead, which is against true Protestant belief, though quite in harmony with Roman Catholic doctrine. The Bishop of Chichester, speaking at Lewes, gave his opinion that surplices should be worn in the pulpit— the point having been raised by a clergyman in the archdeaconry. Some omitted a strroom when the Com- munion was admmistered. This was illegal; they should Curtail the hymns or shorten their sermons rather than entirely deprive the congregation of the benefit cf their counsel upon so solemn au occasion. A deputation from the Liberation SlJcietv-Mr R. W. Dale, of BirEMttghaffi, and Mr .)'. G. Rogers, of London— addressed a crowded meeting Ü" Liverpool on Tuesday Bight, and a resolution in fav<s<Cir of disestablishment was adopted. there was at fint a good deal of interruption, hut the most noisy of the disturbers were removed by the police, at the direction Sit the chairman, Mr W. S. Caine. The clergy of the ral deanery of Sutton, in the arch- deaconry of Maidststte, having discussed at length the subject of 1 unerai reform,' have resolved :—" That, in order to lessen tlws expense of funerals and to discourage unnecessary display, we recommend the discontinuance, as far as may be, of the custom of presenting the clergy with hatbands, scarves, and gloves." The Ely Archidiaconal Conference, held on Tues- day, at Bedford, was remarkable for a very animated debate on the Burials Bill, when the Dissenting view was put forward in a vigorous speech by a clergyman, who inducsd eleven members of the conference, including Lord Charles Russell, to vote with him. Two important statements were made, one by a clergyman in whose churchyard there is an unconiecrated portion set apart I for Dissenters within the wall, where during his incum- bency of five years there has not been a single burial; and another by the Bishop of Ely, who said that numbers of the clergy would givc willingly portions tif their glebes for Nonconformist burial grounds, if a short act was passed enabling them so to do.

UNITED STATE?. Messrs Moody and Sankey have completed their arrangements for comuencing a religious campaign in Brooklyn on the 31st olthis aoath to continue during the winter. The skatug-rink in Brooklyn has been secured for this purposi at a rent of 1,000 dollars a month, and tha mmisers of the Presbyterian, Con- gregationall-st,, Methodit, Baptist, Episcopalian, and Dutch reformed Church have engaged to provide the money by contributions aiong their people. AtVirginia City, Nevda, a hre broke out on Tuesday morning, and the water apply was soon exhausted. The fire-engines were useless,and the entire business portion of the town was soon desroyed.

RUSSIA. Russian correspondents to Gerrnatnewspspers give distressing accounts of -,he UnparaUell failure of this year's harvest. JSever before, it is asseed, has a failure been so general in Russia, both in geograhical exent and in comprehensiveness with re^nd to Ü crops affected. Russians aie still familiar vi tres resulting from failing crops, from their expeiiencti Samara famine. That, however, was merely a local ne the present is general. The entire "cultivated zont. "i deprived of its expected harvest. From Orel to the Qneti, and from Tambow to Podolsk it is the same tale. n other years, if there has been a failure of grops, it haattacked only one species, be it cereals, or roots, or g.ss But this year all crops have suffered alike. Undethese circum- stances, It general impoverishment of the epire in cattle is apprehended.

ROUND ABOUT WEEXlAM. The Wrexliam Auxiliary Bible Society tve kindly sent me a list of contributors for the yearv4. It is such an interesting epitome of the liberty of the inhabitants of Wrexham that I think it I)rth a re- mark. From the statement it appears that, h town is divided into eight districts. Now, omitting fleeting boxes arid special eontribations, the total a mint, re- ceived from these eight districts is 978 2s L The number of persons who contributed amount t472; of these 31 kindly enough helped to swell the )tal by giving sums of 10s and upwards. If these 3be ex- cepted I find that the average for each contrittor is two shillings, and a penny three farthings Takg the above 31 into consideration, the average is increed to three shillings and three pence three farthings—an average which I am sorry te confess I consider petctly humiliating. Surely many of the contributorsvho figure for ridiculous amounts cannot have gi\1 a serious thought to the object of the society, orhey would have been sshamed to have offered the socty's collectors such sums as twopence, titreepence, Lticix- pence. Why, it hardly covers the cost of setting leir names up in type. As the collections are now ling made, will those who can afford give cbeertuHynd largely, aud let the next year's remittance tohe parent society be worthy of Wrexham. Glancing dowti the list I am amused at the haphazd 1\ way in which the high-sounding "Esq." is tacked 1 to many names. I at first imagined that a certa amount carried with it so distinguished a title, but I s many esquires figuring below the general average have mentioned above. Really these gentlemen wl have such a complimentary addition to their namt ought to pay up. An esquire for haU'-a-crovvn is de cidwlly too cheap. f Whilst conning over Church news the other day I came across the report of the Bishop of Chichester's visitation at Lewes. His lordship, speaking as to the oinission of sermons in certain services, said "-that such omission when the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was administred was illegal, and i e was sure it was unad- visable, for these were occasions when a sermon was most. useful. Let them shorten their sermons or cur- tail the length of their hymns if they chose; but never let them disappoint their flock of counsel and comfort from th-oii' lips when the Sacrament was administered." If his lordship is correct in his views, then the innova- tions la"dy made in our church services are wrong. Personallv I rather like the order of service as at pre- sent arranged; but I should be very sorry if our good Vicar is acting illegally. Well, there's one consolation, even Church Bishops differ, and when they do, laymen will hardly dare to decide. So it has turned out, after all the deput ations that the new Councillor and Mayor-elect is not to have a walk- over on Monday. There is many a slip twixt the cup and (he lip, says the old adage, but I hardly think it will in the present instance be realised. Dr Eyton- Jones is certain to be elected, the people say but they are in doubts as to whether Alderman Jones, the King-maker," will attain his point and secure Mr Lloyd's seat for him. On dit that Alderman Owen will be brought forward on the ninth." & be brought forward on the ninth." & Whatever could Mr liangli be dreaming of to throw the town to the expense of a, contested election. Had we not enough of the auctioneering firm without his 90rvioes?_ If the burgesses are so foolish as to elect him—which I make bold to say they will not—we shall t"ave B&ugh and Jones;" and I dare say the electors will, upon Councillor Lewis's retirement, be requested to throw in the Co." There will be no risk of the borough manure selling at too low a figure then. Mr Eaugh'-s nomination seems to me to he a joke; he must think It one himself, surely. Well, if he does not, I hope the burgesses will. I By too way, -what eccentric addresses are out. Mr J. M. «f assoxies that lie und I "are well-known to each othor.

No, no. my friend, I you are assumiufl mucb talent, and I must tell you also that in sending me a card instructing me how to put a X, is—if not undttie influence—certainly setting me down as a very ignorant person.

INTENDED SiJops (LATE STABLES) IN WELLINGTON-EOAD, ltHYL, "I TO THE EDITOR OF THE GUARDIAN. Sllt, -Will you kindly allow me to ask our worthy commissioners, through your valuable paner, when the hoarding in front of the above is likely to be removed. Surely there is a medium in everything. It has been an annoyance to all the neighbours since its erection, now some four months ago. As for pedestrians and coachmen they have to grin and bear it. Are the boards where placed intended to take root ? No doubt the in- sertion of this will have a beneficial effect. Rhyl, Oct. 20, 1875. A RESIDENT.

"LIBERTY OF THE PRESS." TO THE EDITOR OF THE GUARDIAN. SIR,-In your report of a "complimentary dinner" to Mr Williams, at Ruabon, and also similar ones in the Wrexham Advertiser and Oswestry Advertiser, I have to complain of a breach of etiquette in reporting a strictly private" affair, consisting of a party of seven who chose to meet together for a quiet supper on the occasion of Mr Williams leaving liuabon. Again, with regard to the reports in the Wrexham and Oswestry Advertisers, parts of them are totally un- true, and the songs stated to have been sung were not sung at all.-l am, sir, yours truly, ONE WHO WAS PRESENT.

CHURCH AFFAIRS IN RtJABON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE GUARDIAN. SIR,-In my last letter to 'you I strove to fiad out the principle on which the Vicar was working the Church at luabon; and I promised to send your readers some account of the manner in which Church w irk was carried on in the outlying districts of the parish. The district I particularly wish ts draw atten- tion to is that of Penycae, about two miles from Ituabon. Until lately, a Welsh service was carried on her. and had a good attendance; but some timo ago the Vicar suddenly removed the Welsh service to the Parish Church. What is the result? I am told that the average attendance at that service (I have never been present myself) is from half-a-dozen to a dozen, and the Welsh residents at Penycae are compelled to return once more to the chapels from which they had been, in some measure, recovered. But the funniest part is to come—The Vicar throws every obstacle in the way ofsir Watkin having a clergyman resident at Wynnstay; but at Penycae often they are driven to lay ministrations; for several times, not only the prayers, but sermons have been read by the schoolmaster sr another layman. I dont't object, for my own part, to a layman reading the prayers or even preaching, within certain limits, but what I want to point out is the utter want of con- sistency shown in these matters. A Welsh service succeeds at Penycae, as soon as it is fairly established, it is suddenly removed to Ruabon, where it is not wanted at all, and English services, mostly by laymen, are crammed down the throats of the Penycaeites. The Public Worship Facilities Bill, on which Mr Owen Wynne gave evidence, would provide a remedy not only for Sir Watkin but also for the "aggrieved parishioners" of Penycae, and I recommend the Bill and the evidence to the earnest consideration of your ) i sthat they may study it carefully and press it on i (attention of our representatives in Parliament. By bo doing, they will strengthen the hands of the pro- moters of the Bill, and make certain the present prospect of its being passed during the next session of Parliament. —I am, &c., Ap- LAIADOG.

WREXHAM BOARD OF GUARDIANS AND WIDOW PARRY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE GUARDIAN. SIR,-For some time past there have been discussions at. the Board of Guardians in reference to the boarding- out system, and, as might be expected, a variety of opinions expressed on the subject. It may or may not be judicious to adopt that system. I shall have nothing to say on that subject. What I desire to direct atten- tion to is the case referred to by the guardians at their meeting on the 21st instant; respecting a poor widow named Elizabeth Parry, residing at the Ponkey. whose husband died of consumption some time ago, and left her with six young children totally unprovided for. The poor widow struggled on for some time and managed to maintain her children, however poorly. Ultimately, however, she found it impossible to continue in the same way, and applied to the relieving-officer for out- relief. The guardians allowed the family eight shillings per week; Mrs Parry was occasionally employed at Plas Power, and Mrs FitzHugh behaved very kindly to the famiJr-a fact of itself a guarantee of the widow's good character and industry. Recently Mrs Parry ap- plied to the guardians for some shoes for her barefooted children, who were scantily and ill-clad. The applica- tion was considered, and the guardians decliued to grant the application for the shoes, and stopped the 8s per week, informing the unfortunate woman that, she and her six little ones might come into the workhouse! I am glad o know, however, that this hard-hearted,- (I was going to write a more expressive word),—deci- sion was arrived at by a majority of one only out of a limited attendance of. 15 guardians. I trust that tiiis matter will be reconsidered and a different decision come to. Surely in every way it would be preferable to allow this poor widow out-relief, which would be gradually reduced as the children grow older and ablfc to assist their mother, than to urag her and them into the work- house. Besides, under the boaruing-out system, it is very probable that the children would be sent out to strangers—separated from their only parent—while the mother would remain a pauper inmate. To say nothing of tho pecuniary saving to the ratepayers of about £ 52 per annum, is it right, or just, or doing toothers as we would wish to be done by under like circumstances, to compel this family to euter the workhouse and become permanent paupers at an expense of something like 27s per week, when 8s weekly would enable the poor mother to keep her little ones under her own wing and look after and attend to them far better and more satis- factorily than could be done in the workhouse, or if boarded-out with strangers. As I said before, I hope the guardians will reconsider this matter and reverse their decision.—I am. sir, your obedient servant, Oct. 26, 1875. A RATEPAYER.

THE PRINCE OF WALES. -'4' The Serapis and the Royal yacht Osborne arrived at Port Said on Saturday. Prince Tewfik Palcha and the Egyptian authorities went on board the Sefapis to meet his Royal Highness. Shortly afterwards the vessels entered the Suez Canal: At Cairo the Prince of Wales invested Prince Tewfik", heir presumptive of the Khedive, with the Grand Cross of the Star of India at an investi- ture held in the Ghezireh Palace. His Royal Highness made a complimentary speech, which was addressed to the Khedive, who was present, and the Khedive made some cordial remarks in acknowledgment. In the after- noon the Prince visited several places of interest in Cairo, and dined at the Pyramids, which were illuminated in the evening. A special operatic performance had been arranged to be given after his return from the Pyramids. The Prince left Cairo on Tuesday afternoon, being accompanied from the Gesuch Palace to the railway station by the Khedive. The Prince Hereditary, and the Princess Hussein and Hassan. were waiting at the station t: receive them, aud on their arrival a military band played" God Save the Queen." The Prince, before leaving, shook hands warmly with the Khedive. Nubar Pacha and Mustapha Pacha accompanied the Prince to Suez.

I FESTIVITIES AT HAWARDEN. The festivities in connection with the recent marriage at Hawarden recommenced on Monday with a kiudly reciprocation of the welcome so freely accorded to the family and connections of the ex-Premier. The day was set apart for the school children's treat, and consequently the teachers and scholars—as well Sunday as day-of Hawarden, St. Mary's (Broughton), St. John's (Pen-y- Alynydd), Sholton, Sandicroft, and Sealand, walked in procession to Hawarden Castle, carrying flags and nose- gays. The schools proceeded through the park to the front of Mr Gladstone's residence, where they were met by Mr and Mrs Gladstone, Lord Lvttelton, Lady Lyttel- ton, Lord and Lady Cavendish, and others. Mrs and Miss Gladstone exhibited the presents given to the Hon. G. S. Douglas-Pennant and his bride (nee Miss Jessie Glynne). The children were then conducted to a spacious pavilion, erected by Messrs, Brown and Lamont, of Chester, for this week's festivities. Here they were visited by the party already mentioned, as well as by Mr W. H. Glad- stoue, M.P., Mrs W. H. Gladstone, Miss Mary Gladstone, the Rev. S. E. Gladstone, &c. The children, were enter- tained with tea, cake, &c. Among those who took an active part in promoting this portion of the entertainment were the ladies already mentioned, with Mesdames Burnett, Moffat, Tellett Davison, Miss Tibbits, the Revs. S. E, Gladstone, Hon. A. V. Lyttelton, C. Gamlen, and J. Baines Messrs. Spencer, Roberts, Adkins, Lightfoot, &c. The children were upwards of 800 in number. Shortly before these proceedmgs were concluded, a little girl (Clara Dale; presented to Mrs W. H. Gladstone, on behalf of herself and her fellow scholars at Pen.v- Mynydd, a framed photograph of that church, and Mr W. H. Gladstone acknowledged the presentation on behalf of his bride. In the' course of the day, the schoolmasters and teachers were presented with portions of the wedding cake, furnished by Messrs Bolland and Sons, Chester, for the wedding of the Hon. G. S. Douglas- Pennant. After tea, the children adjourned to the lawn below the ruins of the old keep, and played at various games. As evening drew on, the pavilion was lighted up and dancing commenced to the music of the Hawarden band. Later on, a fire balloon was sent up and other displays of pyrotechny were made, under the superin- tendence of Messrs. Vickers, Spencer, and Lightfoot. On Tuesday, about 400 of the tenants of the Hawarden estate were entertained to dinner in the pavilion behind the castle. The carvers were Mr Gladstone, the Rev. S. E. Gladstone, Messrs.W. Johnson, F. Thompson, J. Griffiths, Banks, Hill, Webb, Captain Vickers, J. Roberts, Towns- hend, Barker, &c. Mrs Gladstone, Mr and Mrs W. H. Gladstone, Misses Ellen and Mary Gladstone, Mr Herbert Gladstone, Miss Glynne, the Hon. Miss Lyttelton, &c., were also present. After dinner, Mr Gladstone in proposing the toast of The Queen and Royal Family," said :—You are aware that the Prince of Wales has i,one to India for the purpose of making himself acquainted with that vast portion of the empire, and with ideas, prospect, and dispositions of more than 200,000,000 people. It will be his duty there to repre- sent the honour and the dignity of the British sovereignty. He W il have much labour to perform. I should say that the risks of climate are not to be put out of view. Pray for him in your thoughts and in your prayers, and; may God grant to him a prosperous journey and a happy return. Mr Griffiths, of the Rake, proposed the health of Mr W. H. Gladstone and Mrs Gladstone, which was drank with three hearty cheers. Mr W. H. Gladstone returned thanks on behalf of himself and his bride, and hoped that the future would give them a full measure of that happiness their kindlv greeting showed they all desired. He was one of those who held and believed it was for the interest of the country that it was the first duty of the landlord to study the interests of his tenants, and he assured them he would not be slow to do that, as far as lay in his power. And if he was slow to do it, he thought he had associated with himself one who would quickly bring him to a sense of his duty (loud applause). Mr W. H. Gladstone then referred to the resources of the neighbourhood, which he said only required a little more time to develop themselves more fully; and again returned thanks by drinking all their good healtbs. (1 Mr John Roberts, of Wellhouse Farm, proposed" The health of Mr and Mrs Gladstone." which was received with loud cheers. jdr Gladstone, in responding, alluded to the relation between himself and his son in their respective positions 1 as owners of property in the immediate vicinity, and those who lived upon that property, observing that when they looked back over the long years during which 1 they had been connected with the family at Hawarden, 1 he thought their testimony would be that the conduct which had been pursued towards them had been satis- factory in itself, and likewise that it must operate as a • powerful incitement to those who would have relations with them henceforward to imitate those who had set them so excellent an example. He continued In truth there is nothing more characteristic of the country in which we live than a meetmg of this description. There is no particular line of separation drawn in the social j 1 system of this country, from the very highest point, where the Queen siis upon her throne of the greatest antiquit/and splendour, down to the humblest cottager ] iu the land. Every one is near to those about him. All feel themselves included—whatever the diversities of their circumstances-by old recollections, by neighbour- hood, by common interest and feeJing,, so that it may be said, and I hope will le said increasingly from year to year, that although this is a gieat and diversified society, prbsentiug every possible variety of character and con- dition, yet still the inhub,tanls of this country, each of them retaining tj himself the freedom of his mind and thoughts, do, notwithstanding, term one body, united to one another in interest und in affection. If that has been so in former terms, I, for one, am sanguine: enough to believe, now that I atu reaching the evening of life, that in future time it will be so in an increased degree. Mr Gladstone then aiverted to the m Hriage of Miss Glynne (now the Hor. Mrs Douglas Pennant), speaking injaigh -terms of her private character, and con- eluded by proposing the tcast of The Clergy of the Parish," to which the Rev. Stephen Gladstone replied, speaking in favour of the parochial system. Miss Glynne's health was drunk, and tho company then enjoyed a dance. On Tuesday Mr and Mrs Gladstone entertained the second batch of upwards of 400 cottage tenants in con- nec'ion with the recent marriage festival at Hawarden. Mr Gladstone, referring to the marriage of his son, said The confidence we have always reposed in him, and which he has always merited by his conduct, will only b- strengthened Rud corroborated by the happy experi- ence of the marriage into which he has entered. All that I need wish for his wife is this—that he may be in future years as good a husband as in past years he has been a son. (Cheers). He is called to a station of im- portance among yolt-for every station is a station of importance which places a man in relation with the heart and affections of so numerous a body of his fellow- country-men—and I rejoice to say that that station, which he and his wife are prospectively to fill may fairly be said to be no sirecure, because the traditions of Hawarden are good traditlous. This has not been one of those places where the heads of society, if I may so call them—the heads of ICCAI society—are isolated and estranged from its members. On the contrary, they have been knit to- gether by the ties of affection and regard. The main- tenance of those ties entails many responsible duties, good offices of Christian charity, good offices of social esteem; and from those responsible duties, I earnestly trust, and I fully believe, that neither my son, nor his'wife, will have any disposition to shrink (ap- plause). I trust that one strong bond of love and concord and confidence may continue to bind you and thoa, during th: course of their natural live, iu those same kindly feelings which, happily, have always been characteristid of the various members of tliiscommunity in their relations. On Thursday night, a ball was given to the residents of the locality, the pavilion being handsomely decorated and brilliantly illuminated by Messr* Brown and Laruont, and Mr Richmond, of Chester. The fes- tivites concluded on Friday with a servants' ball. j

The Liverpool Town Council, on Wednesday, unani- mously agreed to the recommendation of the Health Committee to put in force the provisions of the Artisans' Dwellings Act in a low district of the town, known as Nash Grove.
