THE LLANGIBBY HOUNDS. I The Llangibby Hounds on Monday were taken out to exercise, and started a fox lying close to the kennels. The fox was in full view of the pack, and led them at a ratiling pace across some big meadows near Llangibby Village. When he was hard pressed he took shelter in an old tree, with the baying hounds beneath. He was soon dis- lodged, and given the happy despatch by the pack. Tuesday's run was an exciting, if a bloodless, one to the inhabitants of U*k. Hounds met at the Hall Inn, Gwehelog, and there was an unusually large field. A fox was found in the Spinney, near Cold Harbour, which took them across country through Cwm Cayo Farm and Beech Hill to the River, over which four or five bounds followed. The rest of the pack accompanied by a large number of horsemen were taken through Usk, and failing to pick up the scent on the opposite side of the river, Graig-yn-alt was tried without result, aud a return was made to New Barn, where another fox waq found, and set his mask towards Russell's Hill. He was subsequently lost.

NEWPORT. I Atents-Alesarr Greenland and Co., High Street, I EDUCATION COMMITTEE MEETING. I Alderman Brown presided at Tuesday's meeting when alluMon was made to the terms upon which Maindee Schools were allowed to be used by the vicar and churchwardens of Maindee for Suuday cchool purposes. Up to the present, the Chairman "aid, only £ 8 per annum had been paid for light. fire, and cleaning. This did not cover the actual cost, which was nearer £ 9. The elementary committee only wished to obtain what was actually spent, and not to make a loss. Mr F. S. Dauncey wrote on behalf of the vicar and churchwardens that they did not recognise any right on the part of the committee to terminate the existing arrangement, and objecting to pay the increased charge. Th. p -mmirtee adhered to the decision to charge the higher amount.

FALL FROM A TRAIN. I Late on Thursday night in last week, Francis Webb (46), of Usk Vne Cottage, Christchurch, left Cardiff by the mail for Newport, timed to arrive there at 11 p m. Whilst passing through the tunnel to the west of Newport Station he fell out of the train, and was lying in the tunnel, apparently for about an hour in an unconscious condition, and in necessarily a very dangerous position. When he came to himself he walked to the signal-box and reported the matter. He was helped to the station, and then taken to Newport Hospital. Fortunately, he sustained no very serious injury. His lips were cut, and his nose was badly hurt, but not broken. He had a number of scratches and small contusions, and one of his ankles was hurt, but no bones were broken. The injured man states that when they reached the tunnel be stood up ready to leave the train, but the door opened, and he fell out on to the line. He became unconscious for, he believed, about an hour. He heard a train rattle through the tunnel, which was, so far as he could tell. a down express. When he came to consciousness he f und that one of his ankles was out, and he, therefore, crawled on bls bands and knees to the tunnel signal-box, and told Edwin East, the signalman on duty. It appears that Webb must have fallen out of the train on the wrong side. At Magor it was round that one of the doors of the train on the wrong side was open.

PONTYPOOL. I Agents-Mr Fieldhouse, and Mr G. H Churchill, The Market I Messrs, Edit/anis and 6; and Mr, Nickels, New Inn. TYPHOID EPIDEMIC WANING.—In bis monthly report to the Pontypool U.D.C. the medical officer of health (Dr S. B. Mason) states that the enteric epidemic is dying down. He had discharged one nurse from the isolation hospital in consequence of the lessened number of patients, and had dis- charged several patients during the last fortnight as convalescent. The cases that had been notified since his November report had all been of a milder type. The latest inquiries show that only three cases are at present iu the isolation hospital, and two of these are expected to be sufficiently recovered to leave the hospital this week.-Dr Mas* n was re-appointed medical officer for 1907. WHEN THE LIGHTS WERB OUT.-An animated discussion took plaoe at, a meeting of the Pontypool Urban Council on the question of electric lighting in the Pontypool market. Ever since gas was substituted by electric light this has been a vexed qnesticn. The latest complaints were of un- satixfactory illumination on the Saturday preceding Christmas. Mr Udell said that the four arc lamps were out on that night for Lwenty minutes at a time, and while the lights were out the stall- holders were having their goods pilfered.—Mr Rose gave notice to move at the next meeting that, subject to the electric light still being unsatisfactory, gas be installed in the market. Mr Rose stated that the gas company had offered to light the market for JB30 a year, and the cost of the electric light was, as nearly as possible, double that amount.

Two Brothers Drowned while Skating at talygio. A very sad skating accident occurred at the big pond, Nantyglo, on Saturday evening, which resulted in the death of two brothers, named Jonathan Eddy, 21, and Robert Eddy, 18, sons of Mr Robert Eddy, builder, of Victoria House, Brynmawr. But for timely assistance rendered by the Rev H. F. S. Williams, the vicar of St. John s Church, Newtown, Ebbw Vale, another youth would have been drowned. Hearing cries of distress, the rev. gentleman ran forward, and, crawling over the ice, managed to get one of the yontha, William Jones, of Winchestown, Nantyglo, out of the water by the aid of hia walkiug. 8t ifappears that the two brothers and their sistes were on the ice skating, and the elder brother went down whilst the other was attending to hir sister. Seeing his brother in distress, Robert, rurthed towards him, but dropped through the ice before reaching him. The sister had the painful experience of seeing both her brothers drown. After effecting the rescue of Jones, the Rev H. F S. Williams ran with all speed to Brynmawr Police Station, and help was speedily forthcoming, A boat was procured, but it was not until 12 o'clock on Saturday night that the body of the youuger brother was fonnd, a considerable distance from where he disap-eared. The search for the other body was continued all Saturday night and Sunday under the direction of the Monmouthshire and Breconshire p-ilica from Nantyglo and Brynmawr. The pond is a very largtJ one, about three or four acres in extent.

I Literature. The opening number of Vol. III. of "The Crown," issued this week, gives a full page set of draw- ings in colour, depicting scenes and characters in the pantomime of Cinderella produced on Box- ing-day at the King's Theatre, Hammersmith. This artistic work was commenced and com- pleted in a week, a feat that has never before been accomplished by any newspaper. It, therefore, marks a decided advance in journalistic achieve- ments.
