DEATH OF MR J D HUGHES.—The death took place on Saturday of Mr John D Hughes, at his residence, Sefton House, Alexandra-road, at the age of 59 years. Mr Hughes was a native of Mach- ynlleth. When quite young he came to Abeiyst- wyth, and was apprenticed with the late Philip Williams as a printer. Having worked for some time at that trade, he afterwards secured the posi- tion of traveller for Messrs Roberts and Sons, the Brewery. Trefechan. He continued in that employ for about twenty years, when he became the representative of Messrs Salt and Co., brewers, Burton-on-Trent. For the past few years he had retired from business. The illness which culmin- ated in his death lasted about eight weeks. He leaves a widow, two sons, and two daughters to mourn their loss. The funeral will take place this (Thursday) morning at the cemetery, at 11 o'clock. THE GAS COMPANY.—Considerable interest was evinced in the adjourned annual meeting of the Aberystwyth Gfas Company, held on Friday last, it having come to the knowledge of the public that the business to be transacted was of such a nature as to give room for contentious discussion. From what can be gathered, it appears that the directors and secretary do not see eye to eye upon two or three points connected with the manage- ment of the'Company. One point of difference is that the secretary wished to be appointed general maKager, while he was also in favour of declaring a dividend of five per cent. per annum to the ordinary shareholders. The directors and other shareholders maintained that the secrefary, works manager, and collector should be dime H as.swe.- able to them. They also contended that in the face of the present overdraft at the bank, and the large amounts due to ti;Ade creditors, they were not jastified in declaring a dividend until (he lia- bility of the company had been reduced. The result of the meeting, we understand, was that a. resolution was passed in favour of the payment;" a dividend, and the three different officers already mentioned being made directly answtrable to th directors.-ALI tbe old directors were fe-appointed. The chair was occupied by Mr Henry Woodall, 4l»e engineer of the Company. OBITUART.—On Thursday~~evening, the 19tfi inst., at the residency of his brother-in-lq,w aM sister, Mr and Mrs R A Janjes. Boaril School, Borth, the death took place oijobn Lltwelyn Felix, fourth son of Mr Riqfeard Feli rate collector, 15, Portland-strefet, at the age of twenty* two. The deceased, #ho had been ;n indifferent health over two years, bore his long iftness vrilh Christian fortitude. The funeral took place on Tuesday, at the Aberystwyth Cemetery, tb% Rev D R Williams, pastor of Salem Chapel, assisted by Rev T J Morgan, Penygarn, being the officiating ministers. The chief mourners were :—Mr R Felix, father; Messrs Edward Felix, R J Felix, D L Felix, W H Felix, E J Felix, brothers; Mrs R A James, Mrs. W P Williams, Miss Lizzie Felix, sisters; Mrs Lewis, Hafod; Miss A J Felix, Taliesin Mr J Felix, Taliesin; Mr R Jones, Liver- pool Mr and Mrs Tom Felix Evans, Treorkv Mrs E Felix, Mr W D Wimams, Liverpool; Air R A James, Mr W P Williams; Miss M J Jones, Cam- brian-street together with members of the Rechabites Tent, and of the Aberystwyth Station Staff, where the deceased had been previously employed.

FREE CHURCH MISSION.—TMTE week's mission, under the auspices of the United Free Churches of the town, conducted by Mr W R Lane, mission- ary for the Free Chuch Federation, proved very successful, the congregations present at each of the meetings being very large. The mission, was commenced on Satarday, March 14th, when an address was given to workers. On Sunday after- noon the bible readings were commenced, and were continued each day. Public services were held at ShiloJi Chapel at half-past seven each evening, and these were very largely attended. A lecture was given on Friday evening, on The Bedford Tinker and his Book." This was illustrated by fifty magnificent hand painted views, the lantern being successfully manipulated by Mr Davies (College). The lecture was attentively listened to by a large gathering, who much appre- ciated the able manner in which Mr Lane spoke. An open air meeting was held on Saturday even- ing by kind permission of the Mayor Mr Lane stood at North-parade, Nortbgate street, and the Town Clock, and delivered short addresses. On Sunday, March 22nd, services were held at eleven o'clock, and at seven o'clock. At three in the afternoon Mr Lane addressed a good gathering of men. The Sunday services were especially well attended, the spacious chapel being quite crowded. The concluding address was given on Monday at the Pier Pavilion, when Mr Lane gave an account of his own life while in the Coldstream Guards. He dealt in a verv forcible manner upon the evils of gambling in all its forms. Large numbers were unable to gain admission, the Pavilion being full to the doors. The missioner's visit proved a great attraction, and many people were greatly benefit- ted by his stirring sermons. The ladies of the chapels gave a tea to the men of the Cardigan- shire Militia on Thursday, when over a hundred attended. The greater portion of these also stayed to the service in the evening. Mr Lane left Aber- ystwyth en Tuesday morning for Kidderminster, where he will conduct another mission. WOMEN'S LIBERAL ASSOCIATION.—At the meeting of the Women's Liberal Association, held at the Radical Club on Friday afternoon last, there in-as a record attendance of members. The President, the Mayoress (Mrs. Evan Hugh James), occupied the chair and briefly intro- duced the speaker, remarking also on the un- satisfactory reply given by Mr. Balfour to the brewers' deputation. Professor Levi remarked it was the first time he had spoken r«-iote an association of the kind that' had gathered there that afternoon, but though he was sur- prised they should have thought it worth their while to be present, he was not surprised they took an interest in licensing administration. The Licensing Act was not for one set of per- sons alone to administer, it was for all. It was not tho first Act to deal with Temperance Re- form; it was still further from being the last. Already the Licensing Bill for Scotland, the Innkeepers' Liability Act, and a Sunday Clos- ing Acfcgwere included in the programme of the Government. The present Act could be meas- ured by its effect on the brewers. He (the speaker) often thought of the hard and stern beginnings of Temperance Reform, when the question was brought forward with apprehen- sion by their near ancestors. And now, in about fifty years, it had become a national question. All the brewers were up in arms and the publicans cried aloud. Day after day saw indignation meetings held in London. He was glad the Mayoress had referred to Mr. Bal- four's reply to the deputation. It was nothing but an election dodge, to catch the votes of the publicans. The Government were willing to stoop to anything to win back the votes of the publicans. The speaker then referred in detail to the provisions of the Act. Although a clause had been introduced saving the present grocers' licenses, yet as the present grocers died out, their licenses would lapse and the meausure become a still more complete guaran- tee of reform. In conclusion he appealed to them to help to make the Act efficient. He suggested that every member of the Associa- tion should take it upon herself to inform the women of the working population as tit the effect of the Act. What for? Not to enable them to hand a drunken husband over to the police? Far from it. They could never be asked to do such a thing. But he would re- mind them what had actually taken place in the North of England the other day. The husband arrived home in an intoxicated state, his wife found out the publican who had last served him with drink, gave information to the police, whd obtained a summons against the publican for permitting drunkenness on the premises. As a result the publican was nneS £ 10. No procedure could be simpler or more direct What was wanted was knowledge, ac- curate knowledge, of what the Act really gave. Already the Act had created a most unheard-of flutter among the brewers and publicans. They wanted solid, fearless administration. As a community they were entitled to ask for this, and he trusted they would not ask in vain. Questions were then submitted relating to the Act and at the suggestion of Mrs. D. Morgan Lewis, it was decided to contribute out of the funds of the Association towards issuing the Act in a pamphlet form. An enthusiastic vote of thanks to Professor Levi was moved by the Mayoress and Mrs. T. E. Ellis, and unanimous- ly carried, the meeting terminating with the usual vote of thanks to the President. The members afterwards sat down to tea. provided by Mrs. D. Morgan Lewis and-Mrs. Dd. Lloyd. Portland-street. ARCHDEACON PROTHEROE'S WILL. The estate of the Yen. James Havard Protheroe, archdeacon of Cardigan, and vicar of St. Michael's, Aberystwyth, has been sworn at Z10,526 9s 4d, including net personality £8,220 14s 3d. ABERYSTWYTH COLLEGE. FINAL E-NTEII TAI -The Committee of the Literary and Debating Society has intro- duced an agreeable change into the programme of the final entertainment for this year. Mr. T. H. Leigh, barrister-at-law, the famous elo- cutionist and entertainer, will give dramatic readings from Macbeth." "THE COMET."—The seventh and last num- ber for this session is now displayed in the Com- mon Room, and hangs there, monarch of all it surveys. Many journalistic imitators and ri- vals of the "Comet" sprang up during the term, but it alone has been successful in the struggle for survival. This may perhaps be dv.e to the fact that the paper had a consistent policy throughout-to elevate the general tone of the students by ridiculing beerological mat- ters and carricaturing Lady Nicotine. The editor would have us believe that its success has been so great as even visibly to affect the official organ of the College itself. In the pre- sent issue of the Comet" a heart-rending letter appears, purporting to come from cer- tain members of the Magazine Committee, in which the proprietor of the paper is tearfully besought to rest on his oars and to be satisfied with the literary laurels which lie has already won. In reply the editor gives fatherly advice, not altogether uncalled for, to the Magazine Committee. He exhorts them to strive to- wards the high literary ideal which the Mag." reached in its earlier and palmy days. The adoption of this advice is the only condition on which the staff will charitably consent to retire. Unless this hint is taken the editor of the Comet threatens to buckle on his liter- ary armour again and to enter the journalistic arena once more. When the College Maga- zine is managed by the students for the stu- dents, the Comet's" labour will not have been in vain.
Gossip and Rumour.
Gossip and Rumour. FROM VARIOUS SOURCES. EUREKA! What shall I do to be for ever known A n4. make the age to come my own ?" ¡i plain cannot live in doggerels and in rhymes, OIL!, help DOB Lord—to figure in the "Times." f *• Tfle Earl of Powis reached England on Sunday otl his return from India, whither he went, for the IDelhi Qurbar. < NVP- leafn on good authority that Sergeant C Le Btun Powell, Glahbrenig, has just received a com- mission *in the Pembroke Imperial Yeomanry as lieutenant. This promotive is a well-desired one. « Mr D. Brynmor Jones, M.P., has accepted the invitation sent him by the Executive Committee of the North Wales English Congregational Union to speak in the place of Mr J Carvell Williams, who is unable to attend, at the annual assembly of the Union to be held at Wrexham. Temperance and social reformers all over the country will hear with regret that it is necessary for Lady Henry Somerset to resign the presidency of the National British liomen's Temperance Association. Her health has been very indifferent during the past year, and she feels that she cannOL any longer bear the strain lof official and-platform work. Lord Winchelsea, Harlech; Mr. J. W. Wright, Llanbedr Dr. John Jones, Dolgelley and Mr. John Evans, Barmouth; have been selected as justices of the peace for the county of Merioneth. Lord Winchelsea has a resid- ence at Harlech, and takes great interest in the public affairs of the village and district, and this also applies to Mr. Wright who is married to a niece of the late Mr. Samuel Papo. Dr. Jones ivho is a son of the late Dr. Edward Jones, of Dolgelley, is intimately connected with the county council and the standing joint committee, is the chairman of the local district council, and is prominently associated with many institutions in the town and district. At Barmouth the appointment of Mr. Evans is very welcome to the residents, among whom lie is very popular. Miss Constance Jones, the present vice-mis- tress of Girton College, and a member of the Court of Governors of the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth, has been appointed to fill the post of mistress, which will be left va- cant in June by the resignation of Miss Welsh. Miss Jones took First Class Honours in the Moral Science Tripos of 1880, and is at present Resident Moral Science Lecturer at Girton. It is in this branch of learning that she specially excels; she was lately called, in a well-known periodical, the greatest woman philosopher in Europe." Miss Jones has a large circle of friends in Cambridge, and her genial, versatile nature has also greatly endeared her to Girto- nians, past and present.
LAMPETER.
LAMPETER. Only Thirty Shillings.—At a distress sale on Friday afternoon last, a horse was sold for 30s. The bidding commenced at 5s. Another pony. only ten years old, was sold for C3 los. The Bryn Footpath.—The footpath leading from Bryn-road to the Church is still in the same disgraceful condition as reported some time ago. This path was at one time the only footpath which the town could boast of, but since the making of Bryn-road it has been to- tally neglected, and during these days it looks as if it had been newly ploughed. As the Town Council has wisely decided to advertise the town as a place of resort, we hope that nothing will be wanting on their part to put this footpath once more in a good state of re- pair. iior key.—The return hockey match between the Town team and the School team was played on Saturday last. Rain fell during the after- noon, but this did not mar the match, as the ground was in good condition. During the first half the Town team were seen to advan- tage, and kept their opponents well on the de- fence, but when half-time arrived, the score sheet was blank. On resuming, the school played with more determination, and by a greater display of combination succeeded in scoring four times, by which number they won the match. This is the School's second vic- tory against the Town this season. On Satur- day week the town team will play the Llai\tlilo team on the Lion field. Sale of Farms and Lands.—Mr. D. 1. Rees, auctioneer, conducted a sale at the Castle Hotel on Friday afternoon last of farms and lands, situate in the parish of Cellan, the pro- perty of Mr. Rees Morgan, Aberdare. The first lot placed under the hammer was Tynrhos, and although the bidding at the commence- ment was brisk, the property was withdrawn at £ 270, the reserve price not having been reached. Tirifan and three other lots of fields were also withdrawn, for a similar reason. Athletic Sports.—The annual athletic sports under the auspices of St. David's College, were held on Wednesday afternoon in last week. There was a good attendance of spectators, but the event is losing popularity as compared with previous years. The following is a list of the events, with the prize-winners 100 yards flat race: 1 J. Francis, 2 D. R. Davies, 3 Tom Williams. High jump: 1 D. C. Rees, 2 Tom Williams. Putting the weight: 1 D. R. Davies, 2 W. R. Jerman. 440 yards flat race; 1 J. Francis, .2 Tom Williams, 3 J.

After the sports, the prizes were awarded by the mayoress (Mrs. Walker) amid loud cheering. A Series of Accidents.—Whilst a number of workmen in the employ of Mr. Davies, Saw Mills, were engaged on Wednesday afternoon in last week in building operations on the new Brondeifi Chapel, one of their number, David Richards, Treherbert, a mason, fell from a wall a distance of about 20 feet. Richards wafs at once conveyed home, where upon examination by Dr. Abel Evans, it was found that no bones had been broken. He has, nevertheless, suffered a great deal from the shock, but his condition is not considered serious.—On the same evening, the veteran sportsman, Mr. Jen- kin Jenkins, Blaenplwyf, also met with a rather serious accident. Whilst returning home from Crugybar on Nance o'r Glyn he was over- taken near Olwen Farm by a motor-bicycle. The pony was frightened, and bolted off, and when near Railway House it threw Mr. Jenkins to the ground. There he is supposed to have remained on the ground in an unconscious state for about three-quarters-of-an-hour before being qicked up, the time being about 11 p.m., and the night very dark. Dr. Evans was im- mediately sent for, and found that Mr. Jen- kins had escaped with nothing worse than a few bruises. Next morning he was conveyed home, and is now said to be progressing slowly. Death.-This week another old Lampeterian passed away in the person of Thomas Simon Jones, St. Thomas-street, who died on Sunday evening last, at the age of fifty-five years. Deceased had suffered a painful illness, lasting nearly twelve months, which he bore with for- titude to the end. He was a shoemaker by trade, having been in the employ of Messrs. Davies Bros., Cambrian Factory for a great many years. He was very popular, and highly respected by the inhabitants. Much sym- pathy is felt with the widow. and nine children in their sad bereavement. The funeral takes place this (Thursday) afternoon. Drapery Sale.—In one of our advertising col- umns Mr. Walter Davies, London House de- sires to call attention to his annual sale of drapery goods. In oonsequence of the mild weather, the stock is much heavier than usual, and in order to make room for spring and sum- mer goods, this year extraordinary bargains are now offered to effect a complete clearance. Scholastic.—Among the list of successful candidates at the recent King's Scholarship examination appears the name of Mr. Arthur J. Thomas, youngest sone of Serrt. Thomas and Mrs. Thomas, Police Station. Mr. Thomas is now assistant master at Ystradgynlais Board School. Miss Bessie Williams, Llanby- ther, a former pupil teacher at Peterwell Girls' School, also passed the same examination in the second class division. PEItSONAL.-Mi-s. Harford returned to Fal- condale on Friday, from Gloucestershire where she had been recuperating her health. All omr readers will be glad to learn that Mrs. Har- ford has greatly benefitted by the change of air. Mr. and Mrs. Harford and family again left on Monday for Aberystwyth, where they intend staying for a short time. Widening the Roads.—By the kind courtesy of Mrs. Hughes, Neuaddfawr, the Town Coun- cil will be able to make a great improvement in Bryn-road, by widening the portion which leads out to Church-street. A great deal of improvement could also be effected in Bridge- street, where the pavement is only a foot wide, but it seems that the party interested refuses to concede additional space unless he receives compensation. Surely some steps ought to be taken to improve the pavement in this part of the town. BENBFIT CONCERT.—About three weeks ago, at the request of a few young townspeople, a large number of the most influental inhabitants were in- vited to attend a preliminary meeting at the Walter's Temperance Hotel, with a view of organ- ising a benefit concert in aid of Morgan Davies, jun., Millfield Cottage, who has been unable to follow his occupal ion owing to indisposition for the last two years. The proposal met with the unan- imous approval of those present, and arrangements were at once made to organise a concert, which re- sulted in its being held on Tuesday evening last. The Town Hall was generously lent free for the occasion by Mr Harford, whose ever-ready assist- ance is always remembered with gratitude. A number of willing helpers undertook to sell tickets. A sad incident which occurred this week in Davies' family, undoubtedly added much towards the success of the concert,and it is estimated that about £ 25 will be banded over to him The Hall was packed, a large portion'of the audience having only standing room, but despite this the concert proved most enjoyable. The Rev Evan Evans, made an excellent chairman. Mr Evans, on behalf of Davids, thanked the audience for their kind sympathy. The programme was a lengthy one, and among those who took part were Messrs Gravelle, D B Williams, ART Jones, De Zandt, and Emrys Morris, Misses Annie Hughes, Annie Owen, Annie Davies, Jennie Jones, Ithwen Davies, and M Williams, Peterwell School, all of whom rendered their parts well. The Indian club exhibition by Mr ART Jones, was bisblv aDDreci- ated, his fine performance being frequent applauded. Mr D B Williams was well received, and he gave a finished rendering of Lead kindly light.' In re- sponse to an encore he sung Pwy t'el fy mam.' Miss Hughes'singing delighted the audience. fhe mandoline solo by Miss Owen was very good, and also the selections on the violincello byMrDeZandt. Miss Annie Davies, although young on the musical platform, gave a good account of herself. Miss Ithwen Davies, gave a sympathetic rendering of Flee as a bird," and in response to an encore, sang It is." The singing of Hen wlad fy nhadan," and God save the Kijjfc" ended a very enjoyabla ent 'taiument. The duties were ably carried out by Mr D W Davies. BAD LANGUAGE—At the Bridgend Police Court, on Saturday, John Daniel Jenkins, auctioneer, of Henardd, Talysarn, was sum- moned for using bad language in the Bridgend I Post Office. The Rev. David Phillips, B.A., vicar of Newcastle, Bridgend, gave evidence, and said that the language complained of was used towards a young lady at the counter, and towards himself when he remonstrated with the defendant. Jenkins wrote admitting that he used the word damn," but that lie meant no insult, only an expression of gratitude towards the young lady at the counter. Defendant was fined 15s. The incident inspired Idris," the Western Mail bard, to sing as follows:— When So and So wakes with a facial attack, And jumps to a vertical attitude, And plants his bare toe on a healthy tintack, He employs an expression—of gratitude! When Thingummy ponders his Income-tax bill, And weighs each red-tapery platitude, He longs-now he longs—those officials to kill, And he whispers—expressions of gratitude! We live in an age that's expansive and frank, When people like plenty of latitude, And words most cerulean expressed by a blank, Are only expressions of gratitude Then thanks to friend Jenkins for teaching us this, He's earned an eternal beatitude; For who in the world could deem cussing amiss, When 'tis but all expression of gratitude ? WESLEY BAND OF HOPE.—Another enjoyable evening was spent at the Wesley Chapel on Wed- nesday evening in last week, when the members of the Band of Hope went through a long programme of songs and recitations. Mr E Davies Jones, Peterwell-terrace, presided over a fairly good audience,and the meeting turned ootagood financial succe%s, which credit is due to Mrs W T Ellis. Thefollowing was the programme Chorus, "Canu yn y Nefoedd," Band of Hope; recitation, Freddy and the Cherry Tree," Miss Ethel May Jones; song, "Little Robin Redbreast," Miss Cissy P Davies recitation, Mamma's Letter," Miss Linda Maude Jones; duet, "My Dolly," Misses Cissy and Cissy P Davies; recitation, A Close Hard Man," Miss E Gladys Jenkins; chorus, The Cobbler," juniors of the Band of Hope recitation, Domestic Economy," Miss Emily S Jones; duet, Merry Gypsies are we," Misses Cissy Davies and M Thomas; recitation," Somebody's Mother," Master David Owen Davies; song, Lullaby," Miss Ethel May Jones; recitation, The Twins," Miss Myfanwy Davies; chorus, "The Excursion Train," juniors of the Band of Hope; recitation, The Farmer and the Cherries," Miss Edith Beatrice Jones; song, Gwyl Dewi," Miss Linda M Jones; piano- forte duet, Misses C and B Jenkins action song, The Chinaman," seniors of the Band of Hope; recitation, Apples," Miss Edith Beatrice Jones; solo, Miss Itbwen Davies; recitation, "Be Kind,' Miss Blodwen Jenkins; recitation, Mother's Right Hand," Miss Ethel M Jones; duet, Miss Thomas and Mr W J Jones selections on the gramophone recitation, Curfew shall not ring to-night," Mrs Ellis; action song.

Obituary.—After a long illness, the doatla occurred on Wednesday evening in last week of Evan Jones, Cefnbryn House, at the age of sixty-five years. In his younger days deceased had intended entering the Church, but after having spent a few years at St. David's College he returned to his trade, that of a tailor. lie was of a quiet disposition, and was greatly re- spected and held in high esteem. He was an old Lampeterian, and on Saturday afternoon a very large number of townspeople -tt:ondc-d the funeral, the interment being made at the St. Peter's Churchyard. The Rev. W. J. Evans, B.A., senior curate, officiated at the house and graveside. On Wednesday evening the death took place at Blaenplwyf, of John Davies, eldest son of Mr. Thomas Davies, at the age of fifteen years. Deceased, who was a strong and healthy lad, was out ploughing on Friday, and appeared in his usual health, and it was not until after finishing his day's toil that he complained of being ill. He gradually became worse, and after three days' illness pas- sed away, the cause of death being inflamma- tion of the lungs. The funeral took place on Monday, when short services were conducted by the Rev. Joseph Jones at the house and at the Shiloh Chapel, whilst the service at the graveside was conducted by the Rev. D. J. Jones, curate, the interment being made at the Parish Churchyard.—Another sudden death occurred on Sunday morning, being that of Edwin John McKenna, son of Detective McKenna, Basinghall-street. London, which took place at the residence of nis grandmother, Mrs. Edwin Davies, Bridge-street. Deceased, who was only fifteen years of age, was a pupil at St. David's College School, where he had recently won a scholarship. He attended school as late as the Tuesday previous. He was of a weak constitution, and remained at home during the week-end, suffering from influenza. Dr. Evans was called in on Saturday, and ad- vised the patient, who had developed bronchitis to take to his bed, which lie did. His (condi- tion, however, was not considered very serious, as he had intended getting up on Sunday, but he died suddenly during the day. Deceased had made a lot of friends in the town, by whom his death is deeply regretted. The funeral takes place this (Thursday) morning, at St. Peter's Churchyard. THE PROPOSED MEMORIAL HALL. A DIFFICULTY. A meeting of-the members of the Memorial Hall Committee, convened for the purpose of repeivkigtenders for the »r««tion of a Memorial Hall in Bryn-road was held at the Town Hall on Monday evening. The Mayor (Dr. Hugh Walker), presided, and there were also present Alderman Joseph Davies, deputy-mayor; Al- dermen S. D. Jones and B. Jenkins, Council- lors J. Joshua Davies, Wm. Davies, D. Davies, A. Price, Chaftes Evans, T. Richards, and D. F. Lloyd, the Rev. Evan Evans, Messrs. Wm. Lewis, J. M. Edwards, etc.—The Mayor having explained the object of the meeting, the mem- bers proceeded to consider the tenders. Three tenders had been received, viz., from Messrs. John and William Jones, Glyn Saw Mills, Lam- peter, for tl,720 Mr. Watkin Davies, Llany- byther, £ 1,950; and Mr. Lewis Davies, Bryn- road, £ 1,616.—Mr. D. Jenkins proposed, and Mr. D. D. Evans seconded, that the tender of Mr. Lewis Davies be accepted.—Mr. Chas. Evans, referring to the difference in the esti- mates, said that contractors were very fond of fixing a low sum, and then putting on extras. He thought that they should take care that no extras were added.Mi-. A. Price: That de- pends on the architect. He values extras.— Mr. Chas. Evans proposed that the tender of Messrs. John and William Jones be accepted. —Mr. J. J. Daviec seconded.—The Rev. Evan Evans: Is there any intention to employ a clerk of the works?—Mr. Price: Our new Surveyor, who has been a builder's foreman, would be a splendid clerk.—Mr. Richards asked whether it was too late to have the plans modified a little, as he thoughts that the lowest sum was very heavy for the ratepayers.—Mr. Wm. Lewis: It would be a wise plan if they were modified a little. I never expected the tenders to be over £ 1,500.—Mr. D. Jenkins thought the plan of the floor could be modified, and the cost thus reduced about £100, and also the reading-room.—In reply to Mr. S. D. Jone., tko Mayor said that the subscriptions, including promises, amounted to £ 563 8s., and about t840 including the eisteddfod grant. Thus it would be seen that about one half was again needed, 'and the deficiency would have to be borrowed.—Mr. J. Josua Davies Do you think that the Assembly Rooms will be able to pay the annual interest ?—Mr. D. D. Evans: I don't think anyone can answer that.—Mr. J. J. Da- ies Very likely you can't.—Mr. Joseph Davieg also gave it as his opinion that the building was too elaborate. A cheaper one would do. The Mayor remarked that it was rather beyond their financial means. If the plans were modi- fied a little, and they got a building worth about LI,400, that would do. He proposed that the meeting be postponed, and that a com- mittee be appointed to confer with the archi- tect to see how the cost could be reduced so as to be brought within their financial means. Mr. Wm. Lewis seconded, and this was agreed to.—A committee was ultimately appointed, and the Mayor asked the various collectors to collect their promised subscriptions, so as to find out in what position they stood. BOARD OF GUARDIANS. CAPT. VAUGHAN AND THE ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE. The fortnightly meeting of the Board of Guardians was held on Friday last, when there were present Mr. D. Davies, Velindre (chair- man), presiding; Mr. B. J. Evans, Llanfair (vice-chairman); Messrs. Lewis Davies Llan- crwys; John Davies, Lampeter Urban; David Price, Lampeter Rural; David Davies, Cellan Wm. Jones, Llangybi; T. G. Williams, Llan- wenog, James Jones* Llanfihangel Rhosycorn John Jones, Llanlbvni; and Wm. Edwards' Pencarreg; with J- E. Lloyd (clerk), E- D.' Rees (assistant clerk), James Evans (master), Wmji Davies and David Evans (relieving offi- ON-a). Statistics.-—Out-door relief administered du- ring the past fortnight for the Lampeter dis- trict, zL35 5s. to 133 paupers; Llanybytlier district, t4,5 19s. Gd. to 133 paupers. Number of inmates in the House 21, last year corres- ponding period 23. Number of vagrants re- lieved during past week 34, last year corres- ponding period 40. Capt. Vaughan and the Assessment Commit- tee.—The Clerk read the following letter re- ceived from Capt. Vaughan, Brynog :—" I have been unable to acknowledge your letter of the 7th Feb. sooner. I now do so. My instruc- tions to my agent were to lay before the com- mittee their errors, and to try to correct them; and he was met by frequent adjournments, and a refusal even to look at the maps. It is, how- ever, not your business to write me what in- structions you, or your committee, think I ought to give my agent, nor is it my business choose to believe me, I can, if necessary, pro- duce them in Court, and take care of myself. If, instead of proposing a feww days before the Quarter Sessions and after I had been to the expense and trouble of coming down to Wales, engaging counsel, etc., that the dispute should be adjourned till the next meeting of the Assessment Committee (the day following the Quarter Sessions!) an arange- ment to meet at the proper time, I would have been prepared to meot, and so simple a matter could easily have been settled. It is a pity the valuer should have delayed going over the pro- perty till the afternoon of the day before the Quarter Sessions, and perhaps it would have been better if he had taken as a guide, to show where the land lay, a resident acquainted with the parish, instead of an outsider from a dis- tance."—The Clerk said that he had written to Capt. Vaughan that there was no want of courtesy on the part of the committee, and the delay was due to the fact that Capt. Vaughan had failed to attend and produce the agree- ments; required.—Mr. B. J. Evans thought it was a pity that gentlemen like Capt. Vaughan caused the Union unnecessary expense. The appeal case had been expensive because Capt. Vaughan had failed to produce the agreements as requested.—The Chairman suggested that no notice be taken of the letter.—The Clerk said that he had heard that Capt. Vaughan in- tended appealing again, regarding the acreage of the plantation, but in his opinion he could not, and Capt. Vaughan had now realised it.— The letter was thereupon allowed to lie upon table. To Protect Inmates.—A circular letter from Chelmsford Union, asking the Guardians to pass a resolution with a view to protecting inmates from imbeciles, was read, but the let- ter was laid on the table. Contracts.—Contracts for the usual pro- visions for the ensuing half-year were let to the following:—Coal, Messrs. Jones and Davies; milk, Mr. J. Davies, Dairy; butter, Mr. T. loyd, Talsarn drapery, Mr. J. Hughes Evans, Dolgwm House. LLANYBYTHER DISTRICT COUNCIL. Mr. John Jones, Llanllwni, presided over the monthly meeting of this Council, held on Fri- day last. Sanitation.—At the suggestion of the Sani- tary Inspector, it was agreed that notice should be given to the School Board to provide a cess- pool at Coedmore School. Re-appointment.—On the proposition of Mr. David Davies, seconded by Mr. W. Edwards, Mr. J. Parry Thomas was re-appointed sani- tary inspector for the ensuing year. Diphtheria.—Dr. E. C. Thomas reported a fatal case of diphtheria at Dderwendeg, Brechfa in the parish of Llanfihangel Rhosycorn. On visiting the place he found that the house was a newly-built one, but no provision had been made to carry off the rain and surface water gravitating to the back of the house, and as defective drainage often co-existed with diph- theria, he thought it was important tha't im- mediate steps should be taken to remedy this defect. There was a pool of stagnant water along the back of the house, which must make the house unhealthy for human habitation. I Overcrowding.—Dr. E. C. Thomas also re- p6rted that Pantllynfach, Llanybyther, where a patient died of tuberculosis some months ago, was now overcrowded, being occupied by five persons. Notice of Motion.—Mr. Lewis Davies gave notice that at the next meeting he would move a resolution to the effect that a scheme be car- ried, drawn up with a view of supplying the village of Ffaldybrenin with water. Mr. Davies said that a sufficient supply could be got at Rhosyfedw without entailing a heavy expendi ture. Llanybyther Water Supply.—A letter was read from the Local Government Board ei. quiring the position of things as to supply ftg the village of Llanybyther with water.— The Clerk explained that as the Council had no power to get a provisional order, be wrote to the Local Government Board asking whether the Council could compel the owners of the land to give the rights, but he had not yet received a reply.—It was ultimately resolved to call the Board's attention to that letter.
NEWCASTLE EMLYN.
NEWCASTLE EMLYN. DEPARTURE.—We are sorry to learn that JMr Samways, booking clerk, is about leaving the town for the South of England. Mr Samways, during his short stay in the town, made a host of friends. He was a useful member of the Heading Room, and the Debating Society, and it will be a loss to be deprived of such a: useful member. We wish him every success in his new place. FAIR.—The scarcity of cattle at the fair held on Monday last, has caused several dealers from Northampton and other distant places, who regularly attend, to threaten to discontinue coming in future unless the farmers of the district abstain from disposing of their cattle to local dealers, who, in their rounds, buy the best cattle, causing the fairs to dwindle, so that it hardly pays any other than the local dealers to attend. Several dealers had to return without effecting any purchases, and others who bought failed to make up their truck loads. The prices obtained were exceptionally high, and not a single animal was left unsold. Cows, with calves fetched from Z14 to Z16. Two- year-old oxen, from £10 to £13, and yearlings were sold for Z9. The demand for horses was small,and only a few exchanges took place. SUDDEN DEATH.—The death, which was almost tragic in its suddenness, took place on Tuesday Of Mr Dan Davies, Bargoed, Llandyssul, farmer's son, who fell on the railway platform at Newcastle Emlyn station, apparently in a fit, just before the departure of the 10'30 a.m. train for Llandyssul. He was picked up by James Jones, porter, and other officials, and carried to the booking office, where be was placed on a seit, but he expired in a few minutes. Dr James Thomas was immediately in attendance, and pronounced life extinct. The deceased was an energetic worker in the formation of Mr Brigstocke's Farmers' Co-operative Society, and acted as secretary for the Society in connection with Llandyssul branch. He had been to Whitland and Boncath, transacting business on behalf of his employers, and had walked from the latter place that morning. Mr Davies was very much respected in the district, and great sympathy is felt with the family in their bereavement. Deceased had been a student at Aberystwyth College, and took great interest in agricultural matters. He was only 29 years of age, and in his childhood met with an accident, which necessitated the amputation of his right arm. URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL ELECTION. The chief topic of conversation in the town at the present time is the coming Urban Council elec- tion. There is a plethora of candidates, the fol- lowing are the nomination, :-David Fred Beck, station master; David Evans, Angel House, butcher; Samuel Davies, butcher; Henry Evans, Ivy Bush, innkeeper; John Evans, mason, Porth- street; John Henry Evans, solicitor, Brynmarlog Richard Evans, Sunny Bank, coachbuilder; Thos Parry Jenkins, Water-street, rural postman; Dd Jones, Graig Villa, builder; David Roger Jones, Castle-street, gentleman John Clayton Jones, Market-street, veterinary surgeon J Richard Jones, chemist and druggist; Thomas Lloyd, grocer; E E Mathias. cabinetmaker Rev Wm Powell, vicar; David Thomas, grocer, Aberbran Joshua Morgan Thomas, grocer; Ed Hugh Williams, Bodafon, re- tired bank manager; Wm Thomas, boot and shoe warehouse; and Thomas Evans, Penlan, carpenter. We are informed that many of the candidates nominated have withdrawn, but not sufficient to ivoid an election. On Monday a notice was circulated through the town and the bellman was sent out calling a meet. ing of the ratepayers and candidates with a view af forming the next Urban Council and reducing ;he present Council rate. The meeting was also ,ntended to afford an opoortunitv to air anv QTiev- ances against the out-going members and to im- press the new members with a sense of duty. The meeting was fairly attended, and Mr John Phillips, Emlyn Grammar School, was voted to the chair. The Chairman explained the object of the meeting. The most important point, he thought, was to decide what was best to be done to avoid going to an election, and incurring unnecessary expense.— Mr Evans said if the old members would with- draw he wculd also do tHe same, as the old mem- bers, in his opinion, failed to satisfy the majority of the ratepayers. He would ask them to resign, and make room for more suitable persons to occupy their places.—Mr Beck said as a member of the old Council, he did not press for re-election but J would listen to tlwsc who asked him to come otA and seek re-eleciion on ihe Council. He had re- ligiously attended every meeting with the excep- tion of one, during the three years the Council was in existence. He had done all he could at all times in the interest of the town generally, and th e money was not spent lavishly by the Council. TAey had affected great improvements in the town. It was a ridiculous thine to call this meeting at the last hour as some would perhaps withdraw.— Mr J H Evans May I ask Mr Beck what im- provements have been done in the town other than the new pavement?—Mr Beck: There are many, including the pavements. The drains of the town had become a public nuisance before the Council took them up.—Chairman What about the fair- field and the water scheme?—Mr Evans Only or.* improvement has been made, and that is the new pavement. Since the formation of the Council, the members deemed it advisable to close their months like oysters. The public never knew what took place at their meetings, and they took good care not to disclose anything that transpire between them. They kept their secret as if they were Free- masons. If I am elected, I will try and give publicity to everything that. happens at the meet- ings. Their balance sheet is published in a news- paper which has hardly any circulation in the town. Why not, publish it in the TVelsh Gazette- which is the newspaper most widely read and cir- culated in the district?—Mr Beck: We have not long since heard of this excellent paper, and I can only say well of the Wehh Gazette. No one has asked me what has passed at our meetings, but that I have answered bim. A meeting was con- vened to consider the water scheme, but did the members attend to explain matters and justify their conduct ? The loan is re-paid by instalments and covers a period of 33 years. There were a few other small bills paid, as long as a lawyer's bill, as for example £5 15s paid for looking through the. lease of the Fair field, &c. The difficulties en- countered in the past will not trouble us in the future. We demanded tells before we obtained the lease and by that we have now a good balance in the "bank. The tolls were originally estimated at E40, whereas they are over £ 80.—Mr Evaas We are not certain of the best men being returned, but would trust that nothing like sectarianism would in- fluence the ratepayer*, but would vote for the best candidate. Let them be united in getting the best men possible to represent them. He believed what Dr Parker said once, God damn the Saltan," and he would say. God damn sectarianism."—A vote was taken and the majority were in favour of an election taking place. The meeting then termin- ated.

TALSARN. ACCIDENT.—An accident recently befell Mr Evan Jonathan, Tyngwndwn Villa, Talsarn, while draw- ing cattle near Escearn Hall, Towyn. Two bullocks stumbled, and fell against him, knocking him down. The force of the fat was so great that it broke the collar bone, and the left arm, and caused great pain. He was treated by Drs Emrys Lloyd, Towyn; Evans, Greengrove; and Jenkin Lewis, Llanilar. The wound not appearing to heal quickly enough, Mr Jonathan went to Liverpool on Friday last, for treatment at the hands of Dr John Jones, successor to the late Dr Abraham Thomas, the celebrated bone-setter. It is hoped that Mr Jonathan will speedily recover from his wounds.

F.G.S., Aberystwyth, to a large audience. The chair was occupied by Mr Thomas Jenkins, C.C., who briefly introduced the lecturer. Mr Edwards explained that the valuable ingredients in artificialmanneriwere ammonia,phos- phate of lime, aad potash. Samples of the best and cheapest manures supplying these things were ex- hibited, and their sources explained. The most economical way to purchase manures was demon- strated, and bints as to the application of manures to different soils were given. A large number of questions were asked, and an interestibg discussion followed. A vote of thanks to the lecturer, pro- posed by Mr E Evans, Coed, seconded by Mr Thomas Evans, Ty Nant, and supported by Alder- man J M Howell, who invited the lecturer to the district, hoping that an application for a full course would be the result, was carried with great hearti- ness. The meeting terminated with another hearty vote of thanks to the atairman.
