I PUBLIC MEETING AT RHAYADER. f a On Wednesday evening a public weetine was held Sj win the Magistrates' Room, Rhavader. to "consider £ |the Birmingham Cor poration Water Bill in relation | |to the general inte-ests of the inbahisants of the 4whole district, and what steps should be taken to g protc-et pubbc rights." There was a very large 1 ^attendance of townspeople and farmers, and, on the g amotion of Mr G. M. Jarmau, Mr Rd. Morgan, C.C., | sjwas voted to the chair.—The Chairman, in opening M Sthe meetincr, said their object was to confer what 3 <$steps should be taken in order to pros erveth-ic usage s I 5 of the commons and the rights of Cwmdauddwr | land Llanwrthwl Hills. They had from time im- M 1 memorial enjoyed the right of fishing, as n.any pre- | sent would be able to prove (applause). People had | also gone to Cwmdauddwr Hills, when coal had w run short, for turfin?.—Mr Walter Jones (Rhayader), 8 *aid it was proposed by the Birmingham Corpora- g tion to tap Cwmdauddwr Hills for water, and, ss | they had a superfluity of water, they could 1 run short, for turfin?.—Mr Waiter Jones (Rhayader), *aid it was proposed by the Birmingham Corpora- g tion to tap Cwmdauddwr Hills for water, and, ss | they had a superfluity of water, they could 1 spare this. But they also wanted a large area of land, and to that they objected, § S|anless they had something for compensation. In the B course of further remarks, Mr Jones said that Cwm- tjj ddauudwr people were the best supporters of the town (applause). Tnia scheme woaid, therefore, j| ieprive them of their best supporters. If the rights § of fishing were taken away they would not have to H many visitors to the town. He concluded by moving the following rzs-)Iution: That from time im- memorial the inhabitants and visitors of this district have enjoyed free and unrestricted access to the wastes now practically proposed to be enclosed by the Birmingham Corporation Water Bill. and that this meeting is therefore of opinion that the insertion in the Bill of provisions for compensation for the ex- tinction of this user should be demanded of the Cor- poration" (applause).—Mr Hugh Owen seconded, remarking that he had fished on Cwmdauddwr Hills f for 55 ye-ir,3 (applause).—Mr S. C. Evans-Wiiliams, a in a lengthy speech, next spoke in stipi ort of ihe resolution. In the coarse of his remarks he said a that the schsme provided for a gigantic enclosure, and from what he knew from his own experience H they could, he believed, secure compensation (ap- I piause). Even if it passed the committee, he was B quite sure that the House of Commons would insist B upon something beiLg given by way of compensation B to the people as claimed m the resolution (ap- B plaus^ After insist,ng- uron the rights to Cwm- dauddwr Hills, Mr Evans-Williams ea.d they should m first get that compensation a.nd then consider E what they would take, but he suggested that the B Corporation should be required to build them a public 9 ball in the town— (applause).—The Rev S.

DEATH Or THE DUKE OF CLARENCE. I I I I On Thursday movninjr the whole country was dis- tressed to hear of the death of the Duke of Clarence and Avondale, eldest eon of t^e Prince of ales, which oeeurred at Sandringham Palace shortly after Bin* o'clock. Tli3 latest bulletins on the previous evening were cf an alarming character, and crowdsj assembled near Marlborough Houae in the hope of" liearinfi: that the crisis lmd passed. When thej announcement, however, w^s made, "All is over, j the crowd slowly and sadly departed, amid many j respectful evidences of grief and sympathy. TRE NEWS OF THE DEATH. The telegram in which Prince Edward's end was conveyed to Marlborough House was desnatchad by! Sir Dighton Probyn at 9-36. It gained an added significance because of its necessary brevity and I abruptness. Naught of warning had preceded it ,I beyema ft laconic message that the Royal sufferer hacH passed a restless night. A subsequent messaged added no particulars of the last moments of the Prince. It simply stated that he had died shortly! aftor nine. The Prince of Walea had himself madei the announcement of the less with which ho and his| Eoya-l consort had been eo suddenly afflicted to the| JjCird Mayor ef London. His Royal Highness's tele-| grate ran thus :—" The Lord Mayor, Guildhall,| IiOTi&OTi.—Oar beloved son passed away at 9 a.m.—| Albert Edward." A few minutes before this the Lord| Mayor had been apprised that- the end was approach-! iag- Major-General de Wilton who had but ie-| cently been appointed Controller or the young Prince's household—telegraphed at eight mmutc-s| past nine:—"A ehanere for the worse has takens plae#», and fear not much hope." His lordship at| oace took occasion to assure the Prince and Princess? of Wal«H of the profound sympathy of the citizens of| London with them in the 10,"13 of a son under circum- staneag of such romantic pathos. Profoundly moved by sad news," telegraphed the Lord Mayor to Sandricghata have communicated it to our fellow- citize-ns. We tender deep and respectful sympathy to yonr Royal Highness in this great sorrow and national calamity." In this message the Lord Mayor reflected the evident feeling of the gathering crowds at the Mansion House, who perused the sad infore.action with deep and poignant emotion, and with many exprossions of sympathy for the bereaved parents and for the young lady whose hopes had been snddijnly blighted on the very threshold of their realisation. | HIS BIOGRAPHY. E Prince Albert Victor Christian Edward-named after his father and his granù-parents-was the first child of the martiage of the Prin4 and Princess of Wales. The Royal pair were marri at St. George's! Chapel. Windsor, on the 10th March, 1863, and Prince Albert Victor was born at Frogmore on the 8th of January, 1854. The early life of the infant J Prince was as uneventful as that of most young chil- ten who are educated at home. At the early age of j 13 the Prince entered the Royal Navy as a cadet, and pasted two years at Dartmouth on board H.M.S. BtMtMtnia. Two years later the young Prince, in conjunction with his brother, started on a lengthened cruise in the Bacchante, visiting S-ain, the Cltpe, Austmlia, China, and the Fa" East, Egypt, Greece, and tho Holy Land. By tho time he had returned tog England he was 19 years of age, and was entered as| an undergraduate at Trinity College, Cambridge, where his father bad been a student before him.g The advisers of the Prince appear to have beeng anxious that he should make the most of his time,| for he was sent to Heidelberg University during the! Long Vacations. As a rule, Princes do not attend tJiUTOtaitiesforthe sake of obtaining academic dis-g 'on; Prince Albert Victor had the honoraryg jeffree cf L.L.D. conferred upon him by both Ciim-g brid''e ana Dublin Universities, and these honours! are qnite sufficient for the scion of a Royal house Who can display a multitude of Foreign Orders °f one kind or another. On leaving Cambridge Uni. g TOWity the young Prince was sent to Aldershot. | to acquaint himself with military life; as Major j in the 10th Hussars he has siuce done j doty at the Curragh Camp. Hardly had the Prince reached the age of 21, when he also appeared before the world as an author, he and his brother publishing their diary during their prolonged cruise in the BaceWe, a work which was, of course, "edited" by the Rev. J. N. Dalton, who held the position of the Prince's governor. In May, 1890, it was con-g Sidered that the time had come when the Prince! Bhooli take his seat in the House of Lords, and the title of Duke of Clarence and Avondale was COD- ferrel upon him. Clarence is a Royal title which fcaa repeatedly been held by "Royal Princes, the bst| previous holder having b*»n King William IV.jj Avondale is an ancient Scottish title, formerly held| By a branch of the House of Stuart. In the preriousg «ear Parliament had prai.tad an annuity of £ 36,0001 for the benefit of the children of the Prince ot| Wales. A r?s'denc3 has since been granted to| Prince Albert Victor at St. James's Palace, and con- dilembie alterations have been made in the interior of this old Royal residence in order to put the place ill order. The Prince of Wales has been so indefatig- gage in the discharge of social duties that his eldest »s ha.s hardly had a fair chance of distinguishing ltimgelf. A few months ago, during a tour in South 'Wai<rt., and on rare occasions elsewhere, the eldest aon of the hair to the Throne showed that he could J dfcebaege the social funcfionB of Royalty with credit aod efficiency. What has given a singular interest and pathos to the young Prince's brief illness and aeath was his betrothal to the Princess May of Teck only a. few weeks dgo. The marriage was fixed for the 27th of February, and all over the country preparations were being made for appropriate tejoicing on the occasion, the giving of gifts to the young couple, and the presentation of addresses. Probably no Royal marriage had created such wide- d interest in the country since that of the Prince ood Princess of Wales, in 1863. But now rejoicing teamed into mourning, and the contemplated gifts fere become naught. The Prince and Princess of Wglea have had six children-three sons and three 4Swshters. Of these one, a eon, died very shortly after his birth. Prince George, who was born on the 7th day of July, 1865, is, therefore, now the only mrviving eon. He holds the rank of Commander in the Royal Navy. It is only a few weeks ag) that Prince George was attacked with fever, and the news eeearioned no little anxiety among those who tweubered that it was fever which struck down the Peroce Consort at Windsor, and which almost carried 4off the Prince of Wales at Sandringham. At that thne the Duke of Clarence and Avondale was r apparently in good health hardly has the younger farther sufficiently recovered to take outdoor doercise, when the elder is suddenly cut off. Thus, ■B&IfstLly and mysteriously, death has entered into 0BBC palaces. The heart of the nation will go out In sympathy to the bereaved mother and the bereaved lect. THE PRINCE'S LOVE AFFAIRS. It lmd for a considerable time been an open .saewt" in Society that an attachment had sprung up tmf mm the young Prince and his cousin the Princess itay. and the official announcement, on the 7th of I)Sember last, of their engagement was received WO general satisfaction. The Prince proposed, and qW accepted, while on a visit to Laton Hoo, the st of jl and Mdmq. de Falbe. The ciroum- 4faoeM attending the betrothal are so recent that it jUmedLeas to recapitulate them. They have, how- OW (says the Prees Association, from whose e biographical notice we quote), aocentuatedl ft,, piøf which is felt throughout the country at the which has been sustained, and have itensified the Idgalps&y with the bereaved relatives, and, above her who was so shortly to have become his foFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE DEATH.! l";i) Tho following cfiicial bulletin was ;??ued at MarlJ «|bor;;ugh House on Thursday:—" Sandringham, ]2f; ^o'clock.—After a marked improvement in the early| f? oart of the night, His Royal Highness the Duko of SClarcbce's strength suddenly failed about two a.m., Kaxid he gradually sank, his death taking place at| |9.15 a.m.—W.

The funeral, which will be a lone, will take place at St. George's Chapel,| 1 Wind, or, where the Duke was to have b«?en married! |oa February 27th. The Princess of Walea is over-| s|\vhelmed with grief. It is the greatest family| ^bereavement she has over sustained. | I THE COURSE OF THE ILLNESS. | | The illness on Wednesday ran its course very^ lrapid:y. After the acute stage set in the bulletins! that were issued from time to time contained no in- |f .rmation upon which hope could be based and when the b !"t bulletin for the night was issued the conster- tion among the waiting crowd around Maribcroiigh-, House was rendered still more acute. It was issued! at Sandringham after the medical men had had a very along and grave consultation, and ran thus :— | S 8.0 p.m. p 1 No abatement of the unfavourable symptoms has takeng Iplace during the day, and the condition of His Royal High-a Iness the Duke of Clarence gives cause for grave anxiety,B although his strength is well maintained. | | (Signed) W. H. Bsoadbent, M.D. | I F. H. Laking, SI.D. £ I "A. H. MAHEY, M.D." | | THURSDAY MORNING. | I Bub about one o'clock this morning the little throng that had assembled at the lodge gate at Sandringham, janxiously awaiting, what it was then considered mustg loe the news of the young Duke's death, were cheered! I by an assurance from one of the servants of the J household that there was a alight improvement. The statement was at once wired up to London and the tnoriiiLg papers were able thus to announce that at I the turn of the night it was reported that the Duks si condition, if anything, was better. But the reassur- ing gleam was Boon to be obliterated by the semi-official tol(gram that came to London on Thursday morning. j§ There had been no unfavourable change during the night, ran the message, but, it added, that the Duke had passed a restless night. All through the night the Princess of Wales and the Princess May of Teck|| were anxiously watching by the bedside of the suf-Ejj ferer, Lut it seems that since Wednesday they had en-|| tertained but very little hope of his recovery. During the brief illness which has terminated so sadl)- on the very eve of the marriage—not one of the Royal Family at Sandringham has taken any rest. The Duke's brother-himself only now approaching con- vaiesoeace, after the severe attack of typhoid-his sisters, and his relatives have been so appalled by the suddenness of the change that it has been impossible to seek rest. Indeed, the sudden change struck everyone in the Royal household with consternation. When, after Thursday morning's consultation, the medical men announced that there were extremely grave symptoms, the members of the family were Jis- mayed, for all along it had been thought that the malady was running its course very favourably, and that there were many hopeful signs of ultimate re- covery. There were the most dismul forebodings at Sandringham when the startling bulletin of Thursday morning appeared. The fact that this builetin was not signer! hy Dr. Manby is attributed to the circum-H stance that it was issued at an eariier hù than w,-& originaUy intended, Dr. Ma.nby arriving at the hous [only just before the bulletin was posted at the gates. Fervent hopes were expressed that better newsH might be contained in the promised further state-H ment, and throughout the whole morning little knots of people anxious to hear a word from those inside lingered about the various entrances to the park but the only indication of the distinguished patient's condition found expression in one solitary ejaculation, He's as bad as he can be." ■ i I THE NEWS AT THE LAW COURTS. B An official intimation of the Duke of Clarence'sjg death waa handed to the Lord Chancellor at 11-35,ra and his lordship at once showed it to his brother judges. The news of the sad event was received with great regret, both by the Bench and the members of the Bar." It will be recalled that His Royal Highness was a Bencher of the Middle Temyle. Telegrams of condolence were despatched during the morning from the judges to Sandringham and to the Queen. gj Mr Justice Grantham, on taking his eeat, said the judges., whilst deeply sympathising with the Queen,3 the Prince and Princess of Wales, and all the mem-W 'bers of the Royal Family at the loss whioh they hadis Ssuiitamed, came to the conclusion that, in the public linteivst. the sittings should not be suspended. He !wus sure that this course would meet the approval of [the illustrious mourners.—Mr Justice Jeune also ex. 'prerx-^d his deep regret at the loss which the Royalg Family had sustained, and Sir C. Hall, Q.C., M.P..H Attorney-General to the Prince of Wales, on behalfH of the Bar, joined in his lordship's expression. His lordship, who was much affected, said tho judges, on consideration, believed they would best be doing their duty in the matter by continuing to admainister justice. ■ Mr Justice Cave, on taking his seat at the Central Criminal Court, said-We are all very much shocked and grieved, indeed, by the news jusi received of the death of the young Duke of Clarence. A young life of very great promise is cut short in its opening, at a time when the country was preparing to tender its congratulations to His Royal Highness upon a happy marriage, which there was every prospect might lead to a long and happy life. Unfortunately, it has seemed good to Providence to order otherwise, and we must all not only grieve on our own account, but also feel the deepest sympathy with those more nearly connected with His Royal Highness, who now have to mourn his loeb. LORD MAYOR'S TRIBUTE. On taking his seat in the Justice Room at the Mansion House, the Lord Mayor said:-Before proceeding with the administration of justice in this Court to-day, I have with profound grief to make the announcement of the Bad death and the national loss of England's future King-the Duke of Clarence and Avondale, an illnstrious citizen of London. Nowhere within Her Majesty's dominions will the announcement of this national calamity be received with greater or deeper feelings of grief than within the City of London. We were hopeful in spite of the alarming bulletins of last night, that His Royal Highness might pass successfully through this crisis. Unfortunately, this did not prove to be the case, and this morning, shortly before 10 o'clock, I received from the Prince of Wales himself a telegram to the following effect:—" Our beloved son passed away at 9 a.m. It is but a very short time since the Corporation of London did themselves the great pleasure-ancl it was so, to them, a very great plea.sure-of voting a sum of money in recognition by them of the approaching marriage of the Duk to the Princess May of Teck. The value of the presentation was enhanced, and will ever remain in the minds of all, from the fact that it was voted unanimously. I believe I may venture to say that no marriage which has ever taken place in the Royal Family of England was looked forward to with greater expectations of hope and of joy than the contemplated marriage of His Royal Highness. I is sad, also, to recall the fact that to-day was fixed or the first meeting here of the Welsh Committee to make the necessary arrangements for the presentation of a suitable gift to His Royal Highness—it is sad to reflect that the death of His Royal Highness should ve happened on the very day of the meeting. It is, as I have said before, with the deepest possible f grief, as representing the citizens of London I make to you to-day the announcement of this sad bereavement. RECEPTION OF THE NEWS. Not only in London, but throughout the provinces the greatest sympathy was exhibited. At St. Paul's a special service was rendered, and the great bell was tolled, while several of the London theatres were closed as a mark of respect. Throughout the day distinguished visitors called at Marlborough House and reoorded their names, and telegrams of sympathy own from all park of the oountry.

3 I DEATH OP ICASDIXAL MAIFXIXG-J 1 We regret to announce the death of his Eminence! ^Cardinal Mannincr, which took place on Thursday] jmomi/ig, at hia residence, Westminster, at twenty! !"minutes to eight. The deceased cardinal had been! confined to his house by an attack of bronchitis sincej Thursday week, but it was only four days since that| he took to his bed, upon the advice of Sir Andrew]] Clarke and Mr Tegart, the latter of whom w^s one of? lithe medical attendants of the late Cardinal Wiseman.| SAfter this his Eminence grew gradually weaker, andj athe bulletins issued on Wednesday night had pre-l Ipared the public for the worst. The Bishop ofj fiSalford (Dr Vaughan) wes at the bedside of hist |Eminence from four till half-past seven on Thursday! Imorning, the cardinal joining with great devotion inS fethe prayers recited. He then began to grow uncon-| Jsoious, when the bishop told him that he would go! land offer Mass for him m the private chapel. Upon? *Dr Vaughan retiring hia place was taken by Canons ijJohcson, the cardinal's secretary, and about eight! Bo'elock, just as the Mass was ending, the aged pre-| jjlate breathed his last. In addition to Canon Johnson| ffchere were present during the last moment Dr.* !Ga?qnet and an attendant. Death was painless, and [beyond the difficulty of bieatbing the la-;r, moments ofi Ifche deceased were without suffering, and except forjj the cessation of the heart's action there was nothing !to tell that the end had come, Ids Eminence passing? |away without any convulsion or struggle whatever.Jj |His will contains, it is understood, no vindication ofi Shis secession from the Anglican pale, and is altogetherj very simple instrument. He leaves very little off !!this world's goods, all his money having been given| away during his life. | The following official notification of the death was! •posted in the vestibule of his residence:—" The^ [cardinal yesterday became gradually weaker. In the early hours of this morning his strength began to fail more rapidly, but he was able to join devoutly in the prayers that were said to him until ho became un- conscious at half-past seven a.m. At eight o'clock la.ni. he expired quite calmly without agony.— F(Sigced) W.A.JOHNSON, Thursday morning." I On Thursday night a notice was issued from the Arch- fbiahop'e house to the clergy and religious communi- ties of the Archdiocese of Westminster, informing them of the death. It states that the Cardinal joined with great devotion in the prayers which were said for him. At half-past seven he became unconscious, and expired half an hour later, most calmly, and with- out agony. Before the Cardinal's death the following telegram from Cardinal Rompolla, Papal Secretary of State, was received The Holy Father and I are pro- foundly affected at the grave illness of his Eminence Cardinal Manning. We pray to God for his restora- tion to health. Meanwhile, the Holy Father grants to him, with all his heart, his Apostolic blessing." | Amongst those who called with or sent sympathetic I messages were Baroness and Mr Burdctt-Coutts, Lord Coleridge, Mr Justice and Lady Mathew, Sir! Henry Hawkins, Mr Ilundella, M.P., Sir Thonia- Henry Hawkins, Mr Mundella, M.P., Sir Thomaul Ermonde, M.P., Dr Tanner, M.P., and Mr T. P. O'Connor, M.P. B The lata Cardinal was born at Totterbrige, Hert fotdshire, on July( 15, 1808, and was therefore in hisi :84th year. He was the son of Mr W. Manning,! [Governor of the Bank of England, and successively a .M.P. for Evesham, Lymington, and Penrhyn. Hei received his early education at a private school ini his native town, whence he proceeded to Harrow, and afterwards to Baliol College, Oxford, taking his B.A. degree in 1830. He began public life as an under secretary in the colonial office, and subsequently abandoning public life, and declining an order to become a leader writer on the Times he determined to take Holy Orders. In 1834 he was presented to two small livings, and six years later was made Arch- deacon of Chichester. The Oxford movement arouseo his attention, and the result was that ho gave up his Church of England preferments, and on Passion Sunday, 1851, he was received into the Romish Church, in the summer of the same year being ordained priest. He studied theology at the Academia Ecclesiastica in Rome, and took his Doctor's degree in 1854. Three years afterwards he founded the congregation of the Oblates of St H Charles, at Bayswater, whose rule is based on that of a somewhat similar institution at Mdan. The same year he was appointed Provost of the Chapter of the Archdiocese at Westminster, and the following year Prothonotary Apostolic, with the title of Mon- signor," by Pius IX. On the death of Cardinal Wiseman, the first archbishop of the newly-estab- lished Catholic Hierarchy, he was named his successor, and consecrated at St. Mary, Moorfields. then the Pro-cathedral, in 1865. Pius IX. created ilim a cardinal-priest in 187a, givir.g nun, Ky what was considered a happy coincidence, St. Andrew and St. Gregory on the Coelian Hill as his titular church, where, centuries before, Gregory the Great conceived his burning desire for the evangelipation of England, which led to the mission of Augustine, the first Archbishop of Canterbury He celebrated the epis- copal jubilee of his consecration in June, 1890, when he received congratulations from all quarters. He was a voluminous writer, a profound scholar, and an active student up to the close of life. In form he was tall, erect, slender as a spear, and though physically very feeble maintained to the last a remarkable clear. ness of intellectual and spiritual vision. While a man of books, his sympathies were of the widest character. He was deeply loved by the poor, who were hid constant care, took a great interest in chil- dren, was actively sympathetic with labour, social, and temperance movements, and took a favourablejj view of Mr Gladstone's Irish policy. Beloved andH esteemed by ail, he passed peacefully away on Thurs. day morning, laden with years and well-merited honours. m 9
DEATH OF MR. E. WHITLEY, M.P.
DEATH OF MR. E. WHITLEY, M.P. Following closely the deaths of the Duke of Clarence and Cardinal Manning, came an announce- ment of the death of Mr Edward Whitley. CODfwr- vative M.P. for the Everton division of Liverpool, whose fatal illness is attributed to a severe cold contracted on Monday last whilst attending the Liverpool Police Court business. The deceased, who was born in 1825, was an able solicitor, took ar active interest in the municipal affairs of the City of Liverpool, was an earnest religions and social worker, and was much esteemed by all parties. He entered Parliament in 1880, and retained his seat up to the time of his death. In 1878 he married Miss Elizabeth Eleanor, daughter of Mr Henry Walker, of Whitehaven, a captain in the mercantile marine. When this event, which excited great social interest, took place, Mr Whitley was fifty-three years of age. and the lady at the time was engaged in the teaching profession at Everton. It was regarded as quite a love affair, and a certain element of romance attaches to the nuptials. g

+ FUNERAL OF THE LATE' LADY HARLECH. The funeral of Lady Harlech, who died at Lord Harlech's London residence, Grosvenor-crescent, from influenza, on Sunday week, took place on Thursday at Selattyn, a village about three miles from Oswestry. The funeral cortege left Brognytyn Lord Harlech's Shropshire seat, about half-past one. The hearse and coffin were covered with magnificent floral tributes to the memory of the deceased lady. On arrival at the entrance to Selattyn Churchyard, the procession was met by the clergy and combined choirs of Owestry and Selattyn, and the well-known hymn was sung, "Just as I am, without one plea," as a processional hymn. Owing to the church under- going restoration and the nave being unroofed and partly dismantled, a temporary canvas covering was provided. The altar was decorated with a beautiful cross of white flowere, and the sacrarium with white floral wreaths. The Rev. Rossendale Lloyd, rector of Selalbyn, read the first part of the burial office, and the Rev. Cant i Howell Evans, vicar of Rhyl, and formerly vicar of Oswestry, the second. The hymn beginning, A few more years shall roll," was sung at the close of the service in church. The interment took place in a plain earth grave, in a new churchyard presented by Lord Harlech to the parish. The service at the grave was said by Canon Howell Evans, and at the close of the service the hymn was sung beginning Now the labourer's task is o'er." There was a large attendance at the funeral.

LLANDRINIO. { A WARNING TO PEDESTRIANS.—On Friday week an aged man, travelling with a weekly newspaper, had a very narrow escape from drowning below Llandrinio Bridge. He was walking in the directior B of Craw Green, and, the river Severn being ilooèed, the road was covered with water and a strong current B running across it. The poor old man was washed oft his legs by the force of the stream, and carried awayfl some iitde distance.

DOLAU.
DOLAU. BAPTIST CHURCH.—A short time ago it wa. announced that a few of the members of the above church would treat the young people attending the Bible class in connection with the Sunday school to a tea, after wfcioh the members of the Bible class desired to give the children attending the school a, tea, and as some small acknowledgement of the labour of love, the teachers were to meet and par take of the social cup at the same expense as the children. On Monday last the children met at the chapel at 3-30, when the tables were loaded with the good things provided, and to which the children did good justice. At 5-30 the Bible class, teachers, and friends assembled to partake of the good things provided for them, which gave satisfaction to al! present. The tables were presided over by Mrs Morris and Mrs Meredith, who made good use of the time, as we are pleased to say that over hundred availed themselves of the good things provided. Aftei tea a collection was taken from the Bible class, which will net only clear the teachers, and younger scholars, tea, but which would be ample to clear the whole affair, but part of the expenses were cleared through the generosity of some of the members, the over- plush being handed to the funds of the school. At seven p.m. a public meeting was held in the chapel, when addresses were delivered by the Rev. W. Young, Mr Watkins, superintendent, Mr Jonts, and A. Hamer, after which Mr Watkins, sen., Mr Morgan, and Mr Prioe, three of the oldest members, gave a few encouraging words to the teachers. At the close a vote of thanks was passed to the friends who had helped to make all a success, whose names are as follows, on the side of the ladiesMrs Meredith, Mrs Morris, Mrs Wozeneraft, Mra 18tevens Mis* Morgan, Miss Watkins, Mias Watkins, Mrs Morris Mrs William., Mrs Owens Mrs Morgan, the Misses Meredith, and the Misses Morgan*
