W GRESFORD. BOYS' BRICADE.-Tlic Gresford Boys' Bri- gade, in charge of cx-Sergt.-Instructor Webb, we-re last week hospitably entertained by Mr. Alfred Ashworth at Honsley Hall. THE NEW SCHOOLS-A public nxeting took place at the C irbl School on Monday evening, for the purpose-or receiving and adopt- ing the Building Conimittee's statement of ac- counts in the election of the new girls' and infants' eohoo's a.t a cost of L2, 5w, which amount has Leon successfully raised entirely by voluntary sub-script-ions, The chair was oo c-upied by the Vicar (the Rev. E. A. Fish- bourne). Among those pioseiit were Mr. J. Allington Hughes, Mr. G. H. F, Robertson. Mr. Reginald James, Mr. Percy James, Mr. J. C. S. Brock bank (treasuier). and the Rev. R. J, Barker Owen (hon. secretary).—The Chairman, in opening the proceedings, congratulated the committee upon being able to present such a satisfactory statement of accounts, the whole d the cost of the new schools, amounting to "2 578. 17s.< 3d, having bpen ra-iscd by vol un- effott. He ^xpiesscd deep gratitude to lie subscribers for tho generous way in which .hey had responded to the appeal. The Vicar proceeded to explain the delay in opening the schools, which was owing to the alarm caused by Mr. Biireli's Education Bill, the committee being aefvised to await events before opening. He regretted the delay in presenting the balance- sheet. a delay that had been adversely criti- cised at a public meeting recently held. The whole of the promised donations, however, had only just been paid to the treasurer.—Mr. G. H. F. Robertson moved the adoption of the ac- counts, which motion was seconded by Mr. J. Allington Hughes and carried.—Upon the mo- t.ion of Mr. Robertson, seconded by Chancellor Irevor Parkins, a warm vote of thanks was ac- corded Mr. Brockbank for acting as treasurer, a similar compliment being voted the Rev. R. J. Barker Owen for acting as hon. secretary to the building fund.—The Chairman announced that the school manage is proposed to open the schools on Monday, the 26t.h inst., when they intended transferring all their school apparatus from tho old schools to the new ones. It hav- ing been unnecessary to give public notice un- der section 8 of the Education Act as to the erection of a new building, the. school being already established, the manage!s thought they would not be called upon to furnish the new schools, which would be done by the education authority. The Board) of Education had, how- ever, written to inform them that they did not oonsidbr tho education authority in this in- etanc? had to supply the furniture, the school in their opinion being a new one. Under the circumstances, therefore, they proposed taking the old furniture to the new building, and awaiting furtiher requirements. The Chair- man, in conclusion, complained of the action of the education authority in failing to appoint a new infant mistress to their schools. The pre- mrsttrosa was leaving them, and three months ago he notified the Director of Education as to the change and desiring a new teacher ap- pointed. The education authority, however, ha.d never troubled to appoint any one. The result would be that a temporary teacher would be sent them at a small salary, so as to econo- ml so, all to the detriment of the school, and the kind of thing H.M. Inspector had already com- plained about,-Tlc, Chancellor mentioned how the school in-atiagors could themselves appoint a teajchor.—The Chairman said the appoint- ment was subject to the approval of the educa- tion authority. He considered it most unfair that while they were compelled to pay an edu- cation mte, yet no portion of it was devoted towards the eohools at Gretiford..

MANLEY, AMBULANCE CLASSES.—The ambulance classes held in the school during- the last three years, and conducted by Dr. Foster, of Barrow, have now been brought to a close.

The report o, tlit, examiner is that h? has never examined a bet- tar class. The best thanks of the members are due to the thoroughness of the lecturer, who at all times exhibited that earnest., untiring sin- cerity of pmprr-o. which won the respect and appreciation of ail the students. That the lec- tures were highly appreciated is certain and oonvincing by the icmarkabio attendance on all occasions.

This decision has received the un- stinted approval of all too members of the claes.

INCE. I CHOIR TRIP.-Trce choir, church officers, and friends, mustering a total of 58, held their annual trip last week, Llandudno being visited. A bright and breezy morning gave every promise of a fine day, but when the party reached their destination, the wea-ther had taken a turn for the worse. Rain commenced to fall about noon, continuing for several hours. The numerous places of amusement, with their varied attractions, trgely compensated for the indifferent weather, and were much patronised by the party. The whole management, which was in the able hands of the vicar, was carried out without a hitch. SUNDAY SCHOOL TREAT.—Last week, by the kindness of the Vicar, Rev. F. Clifton-Smith, the scholars and teachers belonging to the Sunday School were entertained at the Vicarage. The children assembled at 2-30 p.m., and a variety of amusements at once claimed their attention. Not the least attraction was a cavalcade of donkeys, which had been sent from Altrincham specially for the treat. Not a few of the older people, as the evening wore on, did not think it mcompatible with their dignity to enjoy the same mode of conveyance. At 4 30 p.m. a capital tea was partaken of in the schoolroom, which had been kindly lent by Mrs. Park-Yates. Among those who helped to wait upon the children were the Vicar, the Sunday School teachers, Miss Green- way and Miss A. Green way, Miss Routledge, Miss Badman, Mr. P. Priestner, and Mr. Wm. Brown. Others who helped were Mrs. Rickets, Mrs. Part-in, Mrs. Antrobus, Miss Fisher, Miss S. Ellams, Mias A. Houghton. Mr. John Still. The Helsby Silver Band attended, and in the evening dancing, to which everyone in the village was invited, took place on the vicarage )awn. Mr. Edward Littler (Wood Farm) kindly lent his field, adjacent to the Vicarage, for the races, donkey Sides, etc. k —

At the Mold Police Court, on Tuesday, before Major T. H. Wynne Eyt-on and Mr. T. S. Adams. Percy Forshaw, of 4, Bute street, off Fox-street, Liver- pool, and William Roth well, of Rock Ferry, were charged in custody with malicious in- juries to shrubs in the Wop:e Hall nursery.— Harry Everett, gamekeeper to Mr. J. R. Freme, said that on the previous afternoon he WR"; on duty on ground adjoining Wepre Hall, when he found defo.nd-a.nta uprooting ferns etc. In reaching the ferns a number of young shrubs were damaged. He took from t.he defendants the four bags of ferns p odueod.—P.C. Ohesters said he received defendants into cus- tody from th ? last witness. Whe-n charged the men admitted the offence. Witnei-w Examined the nursery, and found about twenty shrubs injured.—Defendants, in repiy to the Chair- man, said they were after ferns not &hrubs.- There wore previous convictions against For- shaw, who was sentenced to two months' im- prisonment with hard labour. Ilot.hwell was fined £ 1 and coste or 14 days, and advised to avoid the society of his companion. PHOTOGRAPHY.—A meeting was held in the Shottcn Institute, on Fr day evening, to tako into consideration the advisability of forming an amateur photographic club. Mr. J. V. Harris, who presided, said lie was sure such a 01.10 was much needed in the district. The members of the Institute Committee were prepared to erect an up-to-diate studio if they thought sufficient members would join to recompense them for their outJay. Of course they would be expected to become members of j the institute, which was only 5s. per annum. That would (ntitle them to every benefit con- nected with the institute.—Mr. Proctor Smith, in proposing Llia-t such a club be formed, said that the districts of Caiina.lv s Quay and Shot- ton would prove an excellent field for such a club. A rambling club could be formed, I photographs could be taken, and then they I could meet together and instruct one another in the art of development.—Mr. Fred Chris- tian, in seconding, said he could not conceive a moro excellent idea. There were many ycung men in the district who could take a fairly good negative, but had no facility fo,r developing. If such a club was formed no doubt they would be able to get a few lectures by eminent, men during tho winter months. He thought if they had competitions and offered pf!z?s it would be the means of making the club more interesting. —It was eventually agreed to form such a club. All information may bo obtained liom Mr. Harry Whitehead (secretary of the iinstitute), Mr. F. Christian, or Mr. Proctor Smith. THE POST-OFFICE.—A "Reader" writes: Although much has been said on the question of postal reform in Connah s Quay, very little is done About ten o'clock the other evening, as I was standing in the railway station, I was surprised to see a snail telegraph lad, about 14 or 15 years of age, struggling on to the station with his Majesty's mail bags, the weight of which was evidently more than he oould cope with. After a while the poor boy struggled across the line with a basket of mails, which was evidently intended for the down train. Tho thought of the boy struggling with that heavy basket, being easily killed by one of thoso two trains which receive tho mails, sent a cold shudder through oe. Surely the postal authorities are not acting right in entrusting hundreds of pounds' woirth of packages to a small boy. There is absolutely nothing to pre- vent the boy's being robbed of his valubale cargo during its transit, from the Post-oiffce to the station. I understand thiat the pcetmen are off duty at nine o'clock, and if that is so, why should not one of these "be engaged to carry the mails? The niggardly way in which these responsible carry on. the work was exem- plified a short time ago, when a notice ap- peared in the Poet-office window for a man to carry the Diail b,-g-wiges 2s. 6d. per week! At the present, time the postmen are unable to have theiir annual holiday, owurg to the fact that no one can be found to do their work in t.he meantime. The unemployed problem has evidently been solved in Cbrxnah's Quay, or men are not anxiousi to snap up the tempting offer of 17s. for domg a week's tramp! Surely in a piaœ like Connah'-? Quay pc6toffiœ work canai be bter managed tha? it i? at the prc t time.

QUEENS FERRY. < 1 PRIMITIVE METHODIST CTIURCIA.The Buckley Circuit he'd their annual gat,hering in the Primitive Methodist Church on Wednes- day. This is the fiist tin.e such a gathering has 1-ieen held in this district, and it proved a great success. In the afternoon the Rov. J. Day Thompson, of Blackpool, delivered a splendid eermon to a large congregation, a.nd afterwurde tea was partaken of by many people in the schoolroom. In the evening a public meeting was held and the Revs. J. Thompson. H. S. Targett (Chester), L. J. Jackson (Con- nah's Quay), and W. Mooie (Buckley) gave spirited addresses. Mr. E. Wheldon, of Mold, presided. The choir connc-ctcd with the Queen's Fcriv Church are to be complimented highly for the able and efficient manner in which they mid-cred "Worthy is the Lamb" and tho "HaHdujab Choi us," under the able conductor- ship of Mr. Charles Williams. Master G. Wil- liams presided at the organ.

I KELSALL. I CHOIR TRIP.—On Monday the annual ex- cursion of St. Phillip's Church ohoir took place to Blackpool. The party, which was a large left at 6 am., and went in brakes to Chester General Station, and travelled by spccial train. KelsaiJ was readied again shortly after midnight. ANNIVERSARY SERVICES, (hi Suiiday special anniversary services were held in the United Methodist Church, Willington. when two 8CJ mons were preached to large congieg-a- t':O!l'; by the Rev. G.

T I ELLESMERE PORT. I PROPOSED MEMORIAL.—On Monday evening a meeting was called by the Vicar at the request of members of the congregation to consider the advisabilty of erecting a memorial to the memory of the late Vicar, the Rev. 0. E. Rice. There was a good attendance, and after discussion, Mr. Fogg proposed and Mr. Wallbank seconded, that the fund be opened for the provision of a new pulpit, which was badly needed, and would be a suitable form for the memorial to take. A stained glass window was also mentioned but the pulpit was finally selected, the estimated cost being about £ 50. It was arranged to circularise the parish, and for the ladies to have collecting books, and Mr. W. Griffiths was appointed secretary. and Mr. A. F. Dumergue treasurer. It was also decided to couplethenameof Dr. Statbain with that of Mr. Rice in connection with the proposed memorial. JL

I ALDFORD. I PARISH CH URCH,During the next fouT I weeks the Rector (the Rev. J. Watmou.gh) will be away from the parish. During his ab- 0-é'rw::I tho Rev, A. J. Howell, vicar of Cupel, near Dorking, will have charge of the parish, arid will be in reside no ■ at the Rectory. CHOIR TRIP.—On Monday the. choir kind bellringers of the parish church, together with a number of friends, had their annual excur- sion, the place selected being Rhyl. The weather outlook in the lIIorIlingwas rather un. favourable, but after reaching their destination tho (Lay was fine, bright and breezy. Altogether a ha.ppy day was spent. The arrangements were in tho hands of Mr. C. Thomas, and wo:e ex- cellently carried out. REMARKABLE ACCIDENT.—On Monday momin.<r an accident, which might have b".n a* endx:t! with serious results, took place. As Mr J. Parker, butcher, of Farndon, was driv- ing into the village, the reins came un fastened at the horse's head, and the horse, which was attached to a. large float used for the conveyance of cattle, took fright. Being un- able to got round the oorner near the School House the horse was driven into the wall by the force of the weight of the float, behind, and the forepart of the animal was forced) over the wall into the garden, belonging to the School House. Mr Parker, by holding to the bottom of the float, was able to prevent him- self from being thrown out by the impact. In a very short time, by the assistance of Mr. T. White, jun., and Mr. W. Fagan, the horse was extrio2."ed from its position, and Mr. Parker was able to proceed on his jouiney.

T I FRODSHAM. I RABBIT CATCHEM.-ThorizLs Allman, and Albert Pover, two Frodsham labourers, were charged at Runcorn on Monday, with having been on land at Aston, in the occupation of Col. Arthur Hervey Talbot, in search of game on the 11th iiist.Alr. H. N. Linaker, who prosecuted, said that in the early morning of the date men- tioned, William Jones, the head gamekeeper at Aston, and Richard Steele, saw the defendants accompanied by a crossbred airedale terrior dog, and a whippet dog in a field. They kept them under observation for twenty minutes and saw I them enter the Beech cover. A number of rabbit., were disturbed. Allman was fined 10s. and costs, and Pover 5s. and costs. I MUSHROOM SEASON.—The mushroom scr. < son, which should in the ordinary course c I circumstances be at its height in the month ol August, is this year a dismal failure in this locality. The abnormally wet. and cold I weather during tho early portion of the sum- mer has evidently swamped or destroyed the spawn, and only isolated mushaooms have been found on the marsh lands. The failure of th.s edible fungus must have an appreciable effect on the finances of some of the poorer inhabi- tants, who generally manage to augment their scanty earnings by gathering and selling their baskets full in seasonable years when the crop in an avet; ago one. HAY IIARVEST.-Farinera in this neigh. bourhcod are loud in their complaints anent the continued bad weat her, which retard s all harvest operations. Generally speaking, the hay season so far has, it is alleged, been the woi.st for a very considerable number of years., a great amount of extra labour having been involved in getting tho hay in, in anything like fair condition. The hay harvest in the uplands may soon be ea.id to be about practic- ally completed, but little progress has as yet been made with the lowland or marsh hay. I Some portion of it has been cut, but the clim- atio conditions are not conducive towards mak- ing and gathering. A large acreage of corn irt almcet ripe, a considerable portion of which has been beaten down by storms almost flat on the ground, which will again involve more labour in hand-cutting. Potatoes m.o stated to be rotting in large numbers. BOY'S MIRACULOUS BSCAPE.An acci dent whioh might easily have had a tragical termination happened a week ago to a boy named Harry Tudor, aged ten. He was play- ing with two or three companions on the rive.r- side at Frodsham Marsh, when ho overbalanced j and fell headlong into a portion of the river termed the culvert, a projecting artificial deep inlet walled round, and leading towards a.nd connected with a tidal brook. Strange to &ay, his companions, instead of hailing a farmer within easy call, immediately ran home and told their mothers that Tudor had fallen into the river and was drowned-a, natural infer- ence. Luckily, however, for the youth, the tide, whioh was ) unning in, washed him to- wards a bank, which he successfully negotiated. Little the worse foir his immersion, he pro- ceeded homewards too. In the meantime, however, willing volunteers had hastened to the spot by another route, where they spent some hours in dragging operations for the boy, I who waa then a.t homo,

I ELLESMERE PORT. MEN'S SERVICE.—On Sunday afternoon a special service for men took place, about 275 being present. The Church Bond paraded the Po;t and attended the service. The address was given by the Lord Bishop of Chester, who preached a powerful and helpful sermon on that the next day he would be seeing the Rev. Staple- ton Cotton, who took a great, interest in this parish and who would be delighted to hear of such a magnificent attendance. a

EASTHAM. DROWNING ACCIDENT.—An inquest was held at Eastham on Saturday by Mr. J. C. Bate, West Cheshire coroner, on the body of Peter Wilding, aged 60, of the Farmer'si Cottage, Eastham. Deceased had been employed as a stageman at Eastham Ferry, and on the evening of the 9th irust. he tumbled into the river and wa& drowned. It was stated that on the evening of the 9th the Ferry steamer Ruby left Lill,-llt-gl with passenger* for Eastham. When the steamer arrived at its destination, a rope, which deceased had to make fast, was thrown to him. Dark- !le.-s prevented the captain and others on the steamer from (peeing what actually took place, but a splash was heard and it was conjcctured that Wilding had fallen into the river. This j surmise proved correct, and two boats were im- mediately lowered and a strict search was made for him, but without success, a swift in-coming j tide having swept him towards the lock gates, j where his body was recovered on Friday. The manager of the Eastham Ferry stated that this was the first accident that had happened there for neariy sixty years. The jury returned a verd;ct of "AccidentaUy drowned." —————— ±

Hudson Bland, of Southport, and Miss Kate Bartley, fourth daughter of Air. John Bartley, of Stamford Way, Ewloe.
