Pritchard, J.P., Goytrey House, near Pontypool, and formerly of Rhymney, and the late Mrs Pritchard, which sad event took place on the 26th ultimo at Goytrey House. The deceased, who was of a genial dis- position, was much respected, and, like his esteemed father, evinced a deep interest in agricultural matters. The news of his demise at such an early age has been received with pro- found sorrow by his many friends. The funeral took place on Thursday afternoon at Goytrey Churob Burial «♦ — Ground, amid general signs of regret. Widespread sympathy is expressed with Mr Pritchard and the family in their severe trial.

Apart from being ensured an enjoy- able treat, you will be honouring those brave men who have made such sacrifices for us during the last four years.

Harris, A.R.C.M., late of Westminster Cathedral, who had such a distinguished career at the Royal College of Music, of which he is a double exhibitioner, has now re- sumed his profession as a music teacher (organ and pianoforte playing, voice training, &c., &c.) Mr Harris, apart from his accomplishments on the organ and piano, is also a com- poserof several beautiful hymn tunes, some of which were included in the programme of the memorable Cymanfa Ganu at the National Eisteddfod of Wales held at Neath, and upon which he was highly com- plimented by the Premier (Right Hon. D. Lloyd George) at the festival. < NATIONAL HEROES.—The third of the series of lectures organised by the Library Committee, under the auspices of the Y.M.C.A. Industrial Department, was given at the Insti- tute on Tuesday evening, when there was a large attendance, presided over by Mr Daniel Brown (vice-chairman of the Committee). The famous entertainer, Mr Felix Mills, F.R.G.S., of Oldham, gave his popular lecture, Our National Heroes." Mr Mills kept his audience in splendid humour by his amusing anecdotes and characteristic wit. The lecture, which was illustrated with some fine lantern views, was interspersed with the National Anthems of the Allies, in which the audience joined most heartily. Mr W. T. Jones (Pontlottyn) ably presided at the piano. The lantern was skilfully manipulated by Messrs J. W. Price and Joseph Price, who were cordially thanked by the lecturer for their valuable services. A similar compli- ment was passed to Mr Felix Mills for his entertaining lecture, moved by Mr Ootavius Evans, seconded by Mr J. H. Griffiths. Mr Daniel Brown was thanked for his services as chair- man.
I RIOTOUS SCENE AT TRE-I OEOAR.
I RIOTOUS SCENE AT TRE- I OEOAR. At Tredegar on Tuesday Richard William Spooner, collier, Tredegar, was charged with riotous behaviour, and also with assaulting Police- sergeant Howell and Police-constable Morgan and Watkin Bees, collier, with assaulting Police-constable Davies, and Police-constable Phillips on the same occasion. Police-con- stable Morgan said that the previous night he saw Spooner misbehaving himself, and tried to persuade him to go away, but he refused, and struck witness in the eye he was taken to the police station, and on the way clung round his legs and kicked Police-constable Harris. Witness re- leased the prisoner and advised him to go home, but he went to a house in Iron-street, where he behaved like a madman. There were 800 people outside the house, and several were throwing bottles and hooting at the police because defendant was shout- ing, I am only a- wounded and gassed soldier back from France. Come and help me." P.S. Howell said that when they were taking Spooner to the police station he shouted to discharged sol- diers to stand by him. The crowd made a rush, and the police were surrounded and pelted with:missiles. Defendant got witness's thumb in his mouth and bit him. P.C. Harris was kicked in the side. Defendant alleged he was beaten at the police station. He had served 21 years in France, and had been wounded and gassed. The Chairman (Mr B. Jones) said they had admiration for wounded soldiers, but they must behave them- selves when discharged. Defendant was fined R5, or one month's imprison- ment. A similar penalty was imposed on Watkin Rees, who, it was alleged, ob- structed the police while taking Spooner to the police station, and struck the officers on their heads with stones and lumps of ice. He incited the crowd. Defendant denied the offence, and was supported by a witness.

The duties of M.C. were discharged by Mr T. Williams, Tredegar. Following an excellent repast, Mr J. W. Price (chief engineso, in moving a hearty vote of thanks to the General Manager, incidentally refer- red to the fact that that was the' first function of the kind held in the town in connection with the office staff. It had been made possible through the generosity of Mr Rutherford, to whom they were greatly indebted for providing such an enjoyable treat.— Mr D. S. Istance (estate agent) in seconding the vote of thanks, heartily endorsed the sentiments of Mr Price as to their indebtedness to Mr R, Rutherford-The motion was warmly adopted, receiving musical honours. Mr Rutherford, in acknowledging the compliment, expressed his grati- fication to find that the gathering had proved such an enjoyable one. He did not see any objection to the e\ent being held annually, and had sug- gested that this be done (hear, hear) He referred to the changes which had taken place during the period of the war, and acknowledged the timely assistance which the ladies had given under the exceptional conditions pre- vailing. Now that the men were being demobilised, they would natur- ally be re-instated. Should the function take place next year he sin- cerely hoped to mept them again. The duties of accompanist were ably discharged by Mr H. Salmon.
