fYR. EDWARDS, ItALA. AND TEM. I PERANCE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE WESTERN MAIL." Sir,—Mr. Merchant Williams in his letter in to-day's ;¡r.tell lail ib doing an in- justice to the Rev. Thomas Ciiarlerf hdwardj, D.D., Bala, by hinting that he doe., not take any interest in temperance, it was he, about 35 years ago, when a beardless young man, with reddisii hair, who made a lasting impression on my mind. He declared that a man, though drunk, was none the less a man, and, turning to the children, added, "Never laugh at a drunken man; he is the image of God; pray for him." When a.t Aberystwith he used to frequent and speak at temjperanoe meetings, and I well re.member him once telling how public men were watohed. He related the fol- lowing story:—4,lt happened on1; night that there was no milk in the house for supper, and Mrs. Edwards sent the servant girl to fetch some. Seeing the girl going out with a b:( j u, one of the students followed her. think- ing, of course, that she wa-s going for the '.supper beer.' When lie saw her going to a public-house, which was a dairy also, he was confirmed as to errand, and when the girl came out the student went to speak to her, but. to his great surprise, the jug only contained a quart" of milk!" Dr. Edwards while at Aliervstwifb. in and out of the college, gave all his influence in favour of temperance, and I can never believe that he has reversed his attitude since.—I am, &e.. Cardiff, Oct. 15. IDRISWYN.

THE STN-F.ATKR IN WATIFI-1. TO THE EDITOR OF THE "WESTERN MAIL." Rir,A natural interest in the plaoe of my birth prompts me to ask you to give 11Je death. blow, once for all, to the absurd figment which I find re-produced in the "Western 1ail" of this morning, viz" that "the superstition of the 'sin-eate<r' lingered even till 1881 in the secluded Vale 0.[ Cwmammeui, in Carmarthen- shire." When the J..t", Mr. Paxton Hood fir^t gave currency to the report in his "Life of Christina-* T5\and 1, a-5; well as others, asked "Orne, of the oldest r.iclen.ts of the pla^se, whose memory reached back 70 years, to the truth of ii, and they had never heard of fhe custom, which was ^a-id to prc-va. in tlieir jnidsfc up to 1881. The late Dr. Re?. of Swansea, also naturally concerned that "ueh a b-ba,i? custom shouid be .aid to be p?-ti?,-(i by h?? countrymen towards the end ,f the nineteenth century, made the same inquiries, with the same insult. 'im not claiming for tbe :f'n\1rilf'd place of my birth an undue d^^rv^e of enlightenment in asking you to "Rcoth,n if it he hopele«v 1.) destroy entirely, the absurd idea which would plaoe it on. a level with the most heathenish • villace* "off Central AfTi<"L-I am. &c..

Bacon: A moderate consumptive business is experiuced to-day at unchangedrates. but backs and Cumberland cut middles, being more freely offered, have given way in price. Shoulders remain firm. as supplies are still limited. Hams also maintain recent enhanced rates, owing to small stocks and light arrivals. Lard on the spot is quieter, in sympathy with weaker cables, and American refined is rather easier to buy. Cheese is firm at recent. curren. cies, but the demand is not quite so good. Butter sells freely, and previous advanced rates are well sustained. Eggs Irish are firmer, and supplies of moderate dimensions. Canadians sell freely, but, with large stocks, rather favour buyers. Beef moves quietly at unchanged rates, Pork quiet, without quotable change. ':URT'I 't, or.
