CAMBRIAN TRAIN ARRANGE- MENTS. The train arrangements in connection with the Taff Vale, Brecon, and Cambrian Railways are now much improved, with the result that during the recent fine weather enormous numbers have journyed from the hills to the Wells and to Aberystwith. One of the improvements introduced has been in the increase of the number of trairm. More speedy communication, coupled with reduced fares, has quadrupled the number of pas- sengers, and the result is certainly beneficial alike to the people and to the railways.

Paine, and Mr. Griffith Lewis) Thomas Hayes, coal trimmer, Salt- mead. appeared in answer to an adjourned sum mons charging him with illegally selling beer on Sundav, July 20.—Mr. Belcher appeared for the defendant, and said the adjournment had given him an opportunity of going into the case further and getting more complete facts.
