PENTREVOELAS. ANNUAL TREAT.—On the 5th inst., the scholars of the Sunday and day schools were treated to te a barn brith, through the usual kindness and liberality of Col. Wynne Finch, Voelas Rail, and R. E. Roberts, Eõq., Hafod-dre. About 150 sat down and enjoyed themselves in the best possible manner with the good things set before them. After the repast, all retired to a. field adjoining the vicarage, j where all took an active part in several games, &c. In the evening, at. the schoolroom, the Rev. O. Jones, vicar, exhibited magic lantern" scenes, which were comprised mostly of natural phenomena, landscape?, &c,s each -scene being thoroughly and clearly explained. This annual pleasant gathering terminated with a hearty vote of thanks fiV-ni all present to the Vicar and kind donors.

WELSHPQGT*. Towy COUNCIL MEETING.—The Council was occupied "for some time on Tuesday in discussing whether 'they should lend a number of chairs to the Committee of the Oswestry Musical Festival, The question excited so much difference of opinion that the -Mayor considered it dlvimble to ask the xnembcre to give their opinion in a temperate man- ner. On one side, Alderman 3ehu thought it would be an ungracious act to refuse the request on the other, Councillor Morris stood-cp for the rightsof the ratepayers. The chairs might be damaged in transit, snd the ratepayers' money would be spent in paying the upholsterer The stern devotion t? duty displayed by Mr. Morris and his friends won the day over Mr. J ehn's desire to be polite. The ratepayers are not to be saddled with an uphol- sterer's bin, and the Committee of the Oswestry Festival must look out for-more complaisant Cor- porations.

EHOSLLANERCHRUaOG FLORAL AD HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. The sixth exhibition of this society was held in Uanerchrugog Park on Monday last, and the -society was favoured with fine weathar, except somewhat rough breezes. About £50 was offered in prizes, and a very excellent competition in most-all the classes was the re- result. On the whole the show was signally successful, and a very large number of .persons visited the park during the afternoon, Mr. F. Jones, the lessee of the tramways running a number of special trams, and the ordinary stage-carts plying between the Rhos and the surrounding district, also making special journeys. The park gates were opened soon after one o'clock, and early in the afternoon the show was visited by Mr. G. Osborne Morgan, Q.C., M.P., and Mrs. Morgan and party, which included Mr. Mundella, M.P. for Sheffield; Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Evans and party, Bronwylfa; Mr. and Mrs, S. H. Bishop and family, Llanerchrugog Hall; Mr. H. Dennis, New Hall; Mr. George Thomson and Mise Thompson, Penybryn Hall Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Fitch, Gar-Men Lodge Mr. and Mrs. George Edwards, Trevor House; Rev. Thomas Jones, vicar of Rhos- llanercluugog; Rev. David Williams, Penycae Rev. W. Williams. Rhoslbnerchrug-og; Mr. Fearnley; Mr. D. Owen, Ty Ciwyd Mr. E. D. Fierce Mr. W. Baker, Rhos; Mr, and Misses Stevens, Wrexham, &c. The following officials of the Wrexham Floral Society were also present:—Mr. Walter Jones (chairman), Mr. LI. Lloyd (vice-chairman), Mr. J. B. Shirley (hon. secre- tary), and Messrs. Y. Strachan, J. Farquharson, L. Ralph, and T. Scott. In judging of the quality and extent of the show it must be borne in mind that Rhosllanerchragog is not the most favourable place for the cultivation of floral; or horticultural products. Situated on a hill exposed On all sides, the recent severe and inauspicious season would be especially disastrous to the Rhos, and further the majority of the inhabitants being miners have had many drawbacks this season entirely apart from the inauspicious weather. Some gentlemen hinted that the cottagers had had an especially large amount of time on their hands of late which they might have well used in cultivating their gardens, but most persons know that the superabundance of time which many of the inhabitants of the Rhos have had of late would tend to dishearten and discourage them generally from any floral or horticultural efforts. This, in addition to the smallness of most of the cottage gardens and perhaps the not too fruitful soil handicaps the inhabitants of Rhosilanerchrugog to a very considerable extent. These obstacles considered the show of Monday last must be adjudged a good one in all respects, and in regard to the cottagers' department a first class one. The exhibits were arranged in three tents. The centre one contained the principal part of the floral and horticultural exhibits, but a few specimens were in the left hand tent with the local industry products. The right hand tent contained the birds and other live exhibits. In regard to the floral and horticultural part of the show the cottagers made a most creditable exhi- bition, but there was nothing especially calling for notice'. Vegetables were exceedingly good, but the fruit somewhat inferior, the flowers were fair. Red and white cabbage were very good, and the carrots really splendid. In parsnips and turnips they far excelled the amateurs. Potatoes, autumn onions, peas, bean", and scarlet runners were very good. They also greatly excelled the amateurs in vegeteable marrow, celery, leeks, and rhubarb. The collection of garden herbs was good, and that of vegetables excellent. Gooseberries, apples, currants, and pears were also very good. In roses, however, there was a poor competition, and those which were exhibited were not of particularly good quality. Amongst the window plants were some nice variegated leaf and light geraniums. Dahlias were good, but the stocks poor. The competition in wild flowers was good and the exhibits excellent. The amateurs, who made but a small show, excelled in no particular department. They showed a pretty collection of British mosses, but the flowers were not of particularly good quality, the dahlias and asters being the best. Fruit generally was good, and vege- tables excellent. On the centre table Mr. Evans, Bronwylfa, showed some beautiful fuschias, maiden hair ferns, crotons, and drocaenias. Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, Bart., sent a fine collection of coleuses, and Mr. Low, Wrexham, showed a nice lot of ferns, geraniums, &c. Mr. Bishop Ktooghowed a good collection of pears, 19 varieties, and nine varieties of excellent potatoes, not for competition. In the industrial tent Mr. Farquharson, Acton Nurseries, showed a nice collection of roses, carnations, a bridal bouquet, some foliage and flowering plants, and a model flower garden. Amongst the extra prizes was one for collection of British ferns, British mosses, and tray of wild fruit. These are somewhat exceptional prizes, but of the greatest importance, and the competition in wild fruit was good. Much benefit would accrue if the committee could see their way to make a condition in connection with these prizes that the exhibits in each collection should be named. There might be a little difficulty at first but no doubt, after a time there would be a good competition even with these conditions. In the poultry tent there was a good show of cage birds and some very excellent Brahmas. Mr. Butler, Rhosymedre, showed some fine game fowls. The whole of the exhibits were of good quality. In the industrial tent there was a fair competition in mechanical drawings, in wood carving, and iron work. Some good quilts and hearthrugs were exhibited and the whole of the needlework was adjudged to be of high merit The competition was poor in butter, eggs, cheese honey, Ac., and these exhibits were of no high quality. The Pant Brick Company exhibited several Specimens of horticultural ware, &c. The Judges were—FoW poultry and industrial work: Mr. J. Turner, Gardden Lodge, and Mr. A. Barratt, Hafod. Amateurs and cottiers Mr. Y. Strachan, Mr. T. Scott, Mr. Farquharson,, Mr. Ralph, and Mr. Farquharson, jun. Sewing arid needlework Mrs, Dennis and Mrs. Bishop.

At the conclusion of the distribution, The Rev. THOMAS JOXES (vicar of Rhos), moved a vote of thanks to Mrs Bishop and Mrs. Osborne Morgan for giving away the prizes. It was very kind of them, and they done their work very creditably, and they all felt very much obliged to them. (Hear, hear). Mrs. Bishop, he knew, had taken very great interest in the show, and early that morning he found her busy adjudicating the things inside the tents. It was very kind of Mrs. Morgan to come such a distance to give away the prizes, and he would propose a vote of thanks to both of them. (Applause). Mr. EDWARD EVANS (Bronwylfa) had very great pleasure in seconding the motion, and he must con- gratulate Rhos upon the success of the show. It was decidedly the best show he had seen since he had been in the neighbourhood, and he hoped it would improve year by year. (Applause). The motion having been carried, Mr. BISHOP said he had very much pleasure in return- ing thanks for his wife, and he might say that she had taken great interest in the show. They would be very glad if they could make a better shaw next year, when he should be glad to see them all there again. (Hear, hear and applause). Mr. OSBORNE MORGAN, Q.C., M.P. said that on be- half of his better half—(laughter)—he would return her very best thanks. He was sure it was a great pleasure to her, as it was to him, and in fact to all of them, to come and see such a pretty show as they had there that day. (Hear, hear, and cheers). He did not think there was on the face -of the earth a prettier thing than a flower show, except one of their cottage gardens. The object and end of these shows was to encourage them to keep their gardens well. (Hear, hear). Many of them had had a great deal of leisure time of late, perhaps too much, and how could they employ it better than by de- voting it to working in their gardens and endeavouring to make the best of it, because a smiling garden meant a 8milipg wife, and they could not have a better thing than that. Besides, if they made the roses grow in 1 their gar'lens, that would make the roses grow in their children's faces. (Hear, hear). He would now propose a vote of thanks to the committee for their exertions. They could not have had a show at all without the com- mittee, and therefore they were bound to thank them for their very valuable contribution to the success of the day. He was glad to think that the motion was going to be seconded by a gentleman whom, if they did not know, they ought to know, because he was the greatest friend the working men had in the House of Commons. (Cheers). Mr. Mundella could give them some good news. He liked to conclude with a bit of good news, and he might say that he heard there was good news coming from America in the shape of pros- perity. He heard that morning from Mr. Mundella that there was a bit of blue sky in the horizon. (Cheers). In regard to Mr. Mundella he had but one fault, and that was he was not a Welshman—(hear, hear, and cheers)—but he believed his grandmother was a Welsh I woman. (Laughter). However, he had so degenerated that when he asked him to pronounce Rhosllanerclirugog, he called it Rhos Gog and Magog. (Loud laughter). Mr. MUNDELLA, M.P., said that his friend and their excellent member insisted upon his seconding that motion. But he came to Brymbo Hall expressly to avoid making speeches. He had been sitting in the House of Commons the last eight months, during which time he had been making quite his share of speeches. His and their friend, Mr. Morgan, had also done his share in that respect, and he could assure them that he could do his duty in a very excellent manner, and he wished much that he could speak with so much force and fire. However, when he came down into that beautiful valley that day he had no idea of making a speech. Perhaps they would forgive him if he said a word or two, as his friend Mr. Morgan was determined to draw him out. (Laughter and hear, hear.) He spoke about better times for the working men. They all wanted better times. He could not say that he thought coals would very soon be dear again, but there would be more employment for everybody before long, and he hoped that when good times did come again they would improve them and not waste their oppor- tunities as he feared manv did whilst the late good times were with them. (Hear, hear.) He was very glad to see such a delightful show, and it was exceedingly creditable to the neighbourhood. Whilst enjoying the show he could not help thinking that such were the kinds of pleasure that it was most desirable to culti- vate. There were two classes of pleasures. There was one class which Wi:, debasing and very costly, and there was another class which was elevating and refining and very cheap, and the cheaper pleasures were the most satisfactory after all. (Cheers). They could not do better than cultivate flowers outside their houses, and he would say to the fathers present, cultivate also the flowers which grow in your houses. They saw what they could do with flowers, let them try to do the same with their fticle children. (Cheers). Make them fine specimens of men and women and bring them up in temperance and thrift—(cheers)—and let them be an honour to them. (Loud cheers). There wa? always a good report. from Wales, and he believed there was less crime in Wales than in any other part of the country. He hopei the time would come when they could boast also -that they were the most temperate and thrifty in her Mairesty's dominions. {Cheers). Such celebrations as these—supported as they were by Mr. and Mi's. Bishop and Mr. and Airs. Osborne Morgan and those other ladies audgentlemen which were around them—did much to ate temperance and thrift. (Cheers). With these few words perhaps they would allow him to second the vote of thanks to the committee, and may they have as prosperous shows hereafter. (Cheers). Mr. BISHOP, in responding, remarked that had it not been for Mr. Woodford, Mr. Barratt, and a few others, they would have been very far behind. (Hear, hear.) Mr. WOODFORD also briefly responded. He remarked, that without the judges, the committee would have been very far behind. The judges had not only acted the day of the show, but had helped very materially ■•to make the show so successful as it had been. They had not only acted as judges, but had also worked hard iin making the arrangements for the day. (Hear, hear.) •He begged to move a vote of thanks to them. Mr. W. BAKEU seconded the motion, which was arried. Mr. BENJAMIN DAVIES moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Bishop for his kindness in lending them the park. Mr. Bishop had not resided amongst them long, but his many acts of kindness sÏ1Le he had been there, and especially his sympathy with the poor, were such that were he to tell them of all he had heard he should not have done until dark. It was, however, sufficient for him to say that he had never known a kinder hearted man than Mr. Bishop. (Cheers.) Mr. F. OWEN, in seconding, said the show was due almost entirely to Air. Bishop's generosity. They had had shows for years, but at last the time came when they could not get ground for the show. He was quite sure all would be glad that he had allowed them to have the park for that day. (Applause.) Mr. BISHOP, in responding, said it appeared that whilst he had been with them he had done well, and all he could say was that he hoped he should continue to do so. (Applause). Cheers were then given for Air. and Airs. Bishop and Mr. and Airs. Osborne Alor-an. Music was provided by the Cheshire Militia Band, and refreshments by Air. T. Hanmer, of the Talbot Inn, and the arrangements in connection with the dinner to the committee and judges, were well carried out under the supervision of Air. W. H. Simpson. The following are the names of the committee, who deserve much c, iinmendation for their successful efforts, .and all of them will endorse the remark that the greatest assistance was given by the hon. secretary, who has been most indefatigible in carrying out the many onerous duties which fell upon him :—S. R. Bishop, Esq., chairman, the Revs. John Jones, J. Williams, and D. Williams, and Messrs. Thomas Hanmer, Wm. Williams, Phillips (Erddig), Thomas Owen, John Owen, A. E.

THROAT AFFECTIONS AND HOARSENESS.—All suf- fering from irritation of the throat and hoarseness will be agreeably surprised at the almost immediate relief afforded by the use of "Brown's Bronchial Troches," These famous lozenges" are now sold by most respect- able chemists in this country at Is. lid. per box. People troubled with a "hacking cough," a slight cold." or bronchial affections, cannot try them too soon, as similar troubles, if allowed to progress, result in serious Pulmonary and Asthmatic affections. See that the words Brawn's Bronchial Troches" are on the Government Stamp around each box.—Manufactured by JOHN I. BROWN & SONS, Boston, United States. Depot, 493, Oxford-street London. 75 HOJ.LOWA y's PILLS.—With the darkening days and changing temperatures the digestion becomes impaired, the liver disordered, and the mind despondent unless the cause of the irregularity be expelled from the blood and body by an alterative like these pills. They go directly to the source of the evil, thrust out all impuri- ties from the circulation, reduce distempered organs to their natural state, and correct all defective and com- taminated secretions. Such easy means of instituting health, strength, and cheerfulness should be in the possession of all whose stomachs are weak, whose minds are much harassed, or whose brains are overworked. Holloway's is essentially a blood-tempering medicine, whereby its influence, reaching the remotest fibres of the frame, effects a universal good. ADVICE TO AIOTHERS.—Are you broken in your rest by a sick child suffering with the pain of cutting teeth ? Go at once to a chemist and get a bottle of Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup. It will relieve the poor sufferer immediately. It is perfectly harmless and pleasant to taste; it produces natural, quiet sleep, by relieving the child from pain, and the little cherub awakes" as bright as a button." It soothes the child, it softens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regu- lates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for dysentery and diarrhoea, whether arising from teething or other causes. Airs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup is sold by medicine dealers everywhere at Is. l|d. per bottle. Manufactured in New York, and at 498, Oxford-street, London. 75

returneit, and .i.M.'Oiwfpg the Bench said :—I am sorry to have$o trouble you again this mcrning,lmt there nas been a mü,t scandalous assault committed upon one of my witnesses in the last case. Just as we were leaving the court and were in the corridor, Mrs. Jones, wife of the elder defendant in the last case, rushed at Joseph Foulkes, and without the slightest provocation violently assaulted him. Mrs. Jones was then brought into court on the charge, and Foulkes stated that as he was going through the door, Mrs. Jones struck him three times with her fist, but she did not do him much harm, and he did not wish to say much against her. The Chairman You will have to pay a fine of 5s. and 3s. costs, or to go to prison for seven days' with hard labour. The defendant: I'll go to prison, then. The Chairman You will get into serious trouble if you interfere with witnesses. The fine and costs were ultimately paid.
