DAY OF INTERCESSION.—On Tuesday, special ser- vices, for the success of Foreign Missions, were held in the churches of Carmarthen. There were special services at St. Peter's Chnich, Communion in the morning, and in the evening the Rev L. M. Jones preached. At St. David's there was mixed Communion (English and Welsh), at eighi o'clock in the morning, and in the evening, there was Welsh Service, when the Rev J. Williams, of Llangain preached. At Christ Church, there was Service in the morning, Holy Oommunion, and in the evening, the Rev Canon Morris, Principal of the Training College, preached. EXTRAORDINARY INCIDENT. 00 Sunday afternoon last, Mr George Evics (formerly of Carmarthen), veterinary surgeon, accompanied by his brother, entered a field to look at a cart horse that was not known to be otherwise than quiet and docile but on Mr Evans ap- proaching the animal and placing his band on its mane, it laid down its ears, and jumping at him with open mouth bit him severely on the left jaw, and knocked him down. It then jumped over him and walksd away for a short distance, then turned round and was about to make a secord attack, but Mr Evans bad fortunately by this time recovered himself, and with the assistance of his brother thwarted the animal's intentious, and after giving another kick at his victim it walked away. Mr Evans with characteristic pluck afterwards went up to the animal, which had then resumed its ordinarily quiet mood. The wound on Mr Evans' face bltd copiously.— Wells Journal. AN ASSOCIATION FOR THE LIBERAL PARTY. On Tuesday evening a meeting was held at the Assembly Rooms, for the purpose of establishing a Liberal Asso- ciation in this town. The Mayor (Mr D. Edwards) presi. ed, and among those present were, Mr W. de G. Warren, Mr George Thomas, Professor Morgan, Mr James Bagnall, Mr J. H. Smith, Mr Davies (solicitor), Mr William Davies (Queen-street), Mr Edwards (the Emporium), Mr R. W. Richards (Queen-street), and the Revs John Lewis, and Evan Thomas. Mr Warren moved, and Mr J. H. Smith seconded, the proposal that such an association should be formed, which was at onco adopted by the meeting. Draft rules were submitted to the meeting and, after some discussion, were passed. Mr William Morris was appointed president, with four vice-presidents, and other officers were appointed. The Association will in conjunction with the Llanelly Liberal Association seek to promote the interests of Liberalism, and will en- deavour to secure the return of Liberal representatives to parliament. It was decided that a delegate should represent the Association at the National Reform meeting at Manchester. We hear that the Llanelly Association contemplate taking active steps to advance Liberal interests in that town. Probably a demonstra- tion will be held with that object in view. MYDRIM. I ACCIDENT TO MR. MANSFIELD.—On Tuesday morn- ing last, when out shooting in the neighbourhood of Llysonen, Mr Charles Mansfield's (the younger) breech- loader burst and sent some of the powder and fragments into bis face, the greater part of which entered his forehead and left eye, Mr J. D. Rowlands, surgeon, who was immediately in attendance, took out the powder from Mr Mansfield's eye, dressed his forehead, and we learn that he is now progressing favourably towards recovery. I KIDWELLY. SERIOUS ACCIDENT. — On Wednesday week David Lloyd (of Carmarthen), a mason, was employed in the erection of a new house in Lady-street, Kidwelly, when the scaffolding gave way, and be. along with four other workmen, was precipitated to the ground, a distance of somewhere about 26 feet. David Lloyd was very seriously injured about the head and his right side, but the other workmen, with one exception, did not come by any serious mishap. It was some time before medical as- sistance arrived, but as soon as possible Lloyd's injuries were attended to. He now lies at Kidwelly in a critical state. PONTARDULAIS. SINGULAR RAILWAY ACCIDENT.-On Tuesday morning last, an accident occurred on the Llanelly branch of the Great Western Railway, between Pontardulais and Llangennech stations. It appears that the line is being relaid at the place where the accident happened, and on the previous night a gang of men were employed in re- laying it. The mail passed safely in the morning, but when a special ballast train came, about 6.30 (of which it is said the workmen knew nothing), the trucks went off the rails and were smashed and thrown in every direction, and the line was torn up for a considerable length. Mr Ludford, superintendent, was immediately on the spot with a good staff of men, but the line was not passable for about seven or eight hours. Pas- sengers in the meantime were obliged to alight from the train on one side and walk over, and were taken up by another train on the other side of the inj ured line. It was fortunate that it was not a passengers train that met with the accident, otherwise there would have been a great loss of life but, as it happened, no one was in- jured. LLANDILO. THE INTERCESSION DAY.—This day was duly observed throughout the parish. Holy Communion was ad. ministered at 9 a.m. Lord Dynevor preached a most appropriate and impressive sermon at 11 a.m., when a large congregation attended and joined in the special pravera" for the success of our foreign missions. The tradespeople of the town, much to their credit, closed their abopi during Divine service. At 3 o'clock there was a conference in the National schoolroom, when the Vicar and his zealous curates, with others who take an interest in the success of the Gospel, addressed the audience on the principles and object of our missionary societies, and the indispensable necessity of Divine influence to accompany their extension At 6 p.m. there was a full service, interspersed with the special prayers, in the Parish Church in Welsh, and in the the Schoolroom, at 6 o'clock, in English. There were services also and sermons at Liand) tane and Caledfwlch Chapels of Ease, at 11 a.m. There were no less than seven services during the day, and all well attended. A general solemnity and spirit of prayer seemed to pervade the services of the day. It. is hoped that the Lord of the Harvest will, in His own good time, answer the supplications offered at His throne; and that every clergyman will record the answer when it comes, tbht thanks may be rendered to the Almighty for His condescension in accepting ttie prayers of His people. I LLANDOVERY. FOOTBALL MATCH—LLANDOVERY SCHOOL V LAMPETER COLLBGB. On Monday afternoon an unusually large number of visitors came down to witness this match, which was played on the ground of the fori. er in fine football weather. Both sides presented a full team, and at 2 15 p.m Lampeter having lost the toss, the ball was kicked off by T. Rees (captain). If, in only tair to men. tion that the school lost tbo services of two of their best forward players through illness, but notwithstunding thjs, it was soon apparent that they counterbalanced their opponents' superiority in weight by their skill in 11 dodging" and passing on the ball, in which the Lampeterians were deficient, trusting as they did more to "big" kicks. For about. hnlf-an-hour there was no advantage gained by either side but some brilliant runs were made by Mr Williams and Mr Herbert for the boys, and Mr T. Rees for Lampeter. Soon after, this, however, Herbert, made another excellent run and was only stopped a few yards from goal but succeeded cleverly in passing the ball to Mr I Williams woo, thanks to his good play and backing up, with a most determined rush scored a "touch dL Wa" for the boys. The "try" at goal proving a failure, no further advantage was gained till hall-time was called. Sides being changed the bull was now continually kept in scrummages" during which was noticed the good forward play of Llewllyn and Rees for Lampeter. For the school the playing of Williams and Herbert (who were frequently cheered by the spectators) Frank Edwards and T. Davies (backs) were especially conspicious. It would be invidious to name any others without mentioning all so well and pluckily did they play. For the college, Rees, Llewellyn, T. C. Evans and D. Jones distinguished themselves. The school thus won by one try to nothing. I NARBERTH. INTERCESSION DAY.—Tuesday being St. Andrew's Day, and the day specially set apart for intercession on behalf of foreign missions, divine services were held in the parish church both morning and evening. The attendance was, we regret to say, wretchedly small. SCHOOL BOARD.-At the last meeting of the Schoo Board for the parishes of the Narberth North and Crinow. Mr John Williams, a young man from Bangor College, was appointed master of the Board School, in< the place of Mr Faulkner, who intends leaving at Christmas next. Mr Williams is the son of Sergeant Williams, now of Carmarthen, who is a native of this town. NARBERTH SOUTH (U.D.) SCHOOL BOARD. — The monthly meeting of this board was held at Templeton on Saturday evening. Present-Mr John Lewis, in the chair, Mr David Richards, Mr Thomas Watkins, Mr John James, and the Clerk (Mr J. A. Davies). The The Architect (Mr J. M. Thomas) produced his amended plans which were approved of by the board, and ordered to be transmitted to the Education Department for approval, together with a request that they would re- commend the Public Works Loan Commissioners to lend the sum of S700 for the purposes of the proposed new building The Clerk was instructed to call fa special meeting of the board as soon as practicable after the plans are returned from the Department. I PETTY SESSIONS.-At the petty ses-ions on Thursday, before R. H. Buckby. Esq., and E. S Pro heroe, Esq. a young man named Davies was charged with assaulting P.C. Carroll on the evening of the 12th ult. Mr W. M. Griffiths appeared for the defendant. From the evidence of the complainant, it appears, that on the evening in question he was attempting to extinguish & torch at the water conduit, when he received a kick on the leg from some one behind him P S. Irving and P.C. Nicholas each swore that they were standing naarly opposite the conduit, and that they saw the defendant kick the complainant. Each of the witnesses gave the defendant a good character. For the defence Mr Griffiths called John Hooper, Frederick Duckfield, and Thomas Thomas, who swore that they were near defendant at the time, and that he did not commit the alleged assault. They also swore that it was impossible for P.S. Irving and P.C. Nicholas to have observed the defendant kick anyone, as there was a crowd of people between them and him. —The Bench without wishing to disbelieve the witnesses for the defence said they could not but help coming to the conclusion that an assault had been committed but as the defendant had borne such a good character a fine of 5s only would be in. flicted and costs. Four young men named John, James, Evans, and Hitchings were charged with throwing off squibs on the evening of the 12th ult. The two former were fined £, 1 each, and the two latter the full penalty of JE2 and costs. The decision has caused a great stir in thetown, as the inhabitants think that the action of the magistrates has been unnecessarily harsh and severe. NARBERTH-ROAD. The Narberth-road Railway Station has been changed into Clynderwin to prevent further inconvenience from persons at a distance mistaking this station for the Narberth Station on the Pembroke and Tenhy Railway. The selection of the new name is a compliment to Mr Gower of Clynderwin, who has done more than most persons for the extension of rail ways in South Wales. HAVERFORDWEST. HUNTING APPOINTMENTS AND THE FOOT-AND- MOUTH DISEASE.—In consequence of an intimation received from the Chief Constable, by Admiral J. Lort Stokes, the bounds will not meet at Little Newcastle, on Friday, the 3rd of December, as announced. The presence of a somewhat serious outbreak of the disease in that locality, has induced the gallant admiral to act on the chief constable's suggestion, and to forego for the present, the pleasures of his favourite sport. FIRE AT NATT'S HOOK.— 0"~ Sunday morning last, about two o'clock, fire was discovered to be raging in the bayguard of Mr Williams, of Natt's Hook. The alarm having spread a large number of people came to render assistance, and with a good supply of water, the fire was got under, but not until about j6150 worth of property had been destroyed. The night was calm, and the wind blew off the hayguard, or the whole crop would have probably been destroyed. The origin of the fire is unknown. There had been threshing in the hayguard on Friday and Saturday. Mr Williams is insured. MILFORD PORT SANITARY AUTHORITY.—The follow- ing letter showing the arrangements made by the Local Government Board on this subject has latel) been received by the Town Clerk of Haverfordwest Local Government Board, Whitehall, 27th November, 1875. SIR,-I am directed by the Local Government Board to state that they have had under their consideration the report made by their assistant Inspector, Mr Bircham, relative to the arrangemento which should be made respecting the adminis- tration of the sanitary affairs of the port of Milford. The board propose to issue an order constituting temporarily a joint board, as the port sanitary authority for so much of the customs port of Milford as lies eastwards and within a straight line drawn from St. Ann's Head to Blackhouse Point on the opposite coast. The Board propose that the Joint Board which will consiiit of representative members of the Reparian Authorities should be composed of 13 persons, the Urban Sanitary Authority of Pembroke, and the Rural Sanitary Authorities of Pembroke and Haverfordwest sending three representatives each, the Haverfordwest Urban Sanitary Authority two represen- tatives and the Narberth Rural Sanitary Authority, the Milford Urban Sanitary Authority one representative each. I am directed to add that the rule adopted by the Board for the apportionment of the expenses of a Port Sanitary Authority, is that such expense shall be defrayed out of a common fund contributed by the Reparian Authorities in the following proportions, viz., the Urban Sanitary Authorities in proportion to the rateable value of their respective districts, and by the Rural Sanitary Authorities in proportion to the rateable value of such of the contributory places within their districts as abut upon that part of the Customs Port which is within the jurisdiction of the Port Sanitary Authority, and the Board propose that this rule should be followed in the present case.—I am sir, your obedient servant, DANBY C. FRY, assistant secretary." PEMBROKE DOCK: HORSE KILLED.—On Saturday, Mr E. Gibby, Bier's Pool farm, lost a valuable cart mare. The animal was in a cart, laden with turnips, from the Ferry Hill, when by some means, the cart capsized, breaking the mares back. The animal, which was worth upwards of Y,40 had to be destroyed. FIRE.-About nine o'clock on Tuesday night last a fire occurred in the shop occupied by Mr Thomas Hunt, grocer, &c., Dimond-street. It appears that the shop had been closed about half an hour, and the servant girl heard a crackling as if something were burning, and immediately went and informed Mr Hunt, who, on going to the shop door, discovered it to be on fire, but could not enter owing to the dense smoke. Mr Hunt at once sent to the dockyard for the engine, but with the assistance of the neighbours and others, including Mr Lewis, of Waterloo House, and Mr Davies (H.M.'s Customs), and Mr Barnes, Lewis-street, the fire was got under before the arrival of the engines. The origin of the fire is unknown. The premises are insured.

MANY of our local readers will be glad to hear that the last train in the day from Aberystwith, on the Manchester and Milford Railway, was on the 1st of December extended to Pencader in time for the last train to Carmarthen, on the Carmarthen and Cardigan Railway. For some time this train terminated at Lampeter, reaching that place at 9 p.m. The arrangement was pro- bably required for the better working of the goods and mineral traffic and at the same time it was a manifest convenience to passengers intermediate between Aberystwith and Lampeter, as it gave them nearly two hours more for business, the train leaving Aberystwith at 6.40 instead of 5.0. But passengers this side of Lampeter lost the means of going to Aberystwith and returning on the same day, unless their purpose could be accomplished in a couple of hours, that is to say in the uncertain interval between the arrival of the first train and the departure of the 2.10 p. m. In compensation an early train was put on from Lampeter at 6.0 a.m in time for the 7.45 at rencader, which gets to Carmarthen at 8.40. This train catches the up-express and the down train on the Great Western, thus affording ad- vantages to the district, from Lampeter to Pen- cader, not before enjoyed. For example, passengers by the early train could go by the Great Western to Llanelly, Swansea, or Cardiff, and return on the same day, or they could go in the opposite direction to Haverfordwest, Milford, Narberth, Tenby, and Pembroke Dock. But the new train service was unsatisfactory, and a very general desire was soon expressed for the old system, which is more suitable to the district. Here as elsewhere station to station traffic in passengers affords the largest accommodation. Through trains connecting places a long distance apart fail to meet the wants of a" locality like that between Carmarthen and Aberystwith. For every through passenger to Tenby or Pem- broke Dock or Swansea there are probably scores of local passengers. In the interests of the railway and of the public we believe that the train services re-established on Wednesday will prove satisfactory. In speaking of this improvement we are reminded again of the in- sufficient train service on the Great Western Railway west of Carmarthen. The failure to move the directors in the autumn of this year should not be accepted as final. It is a poor excuse for refusing an additional train to s: y that it would not pay. Perhaps it would not for a time. It would certainly be impossible to get anything by it if the same delays were permitted to interrupt its progress as frightened people away from it when tried a year or two since. But a well-appointed train between the 10.45 a.m. and the 5 p.m. from New Milford, would soon command support, and those who are best acquainted with the country believe that an ex- tension of the 2.9 p.m. train from Carmarthen to New Milford would also turn out a success. If some change is not made in the winter months, greater pressure should be brought upon the Company. As we havo often said. there is 'scarcely another part of the kingdom of equal extent and importance so badly served as the country west of Carmarthen. We say nothing now about the impolicy of detaining the Cheap," as it is called, for the Express. The incon- venience caused by it is the subject of complaint day by day. If the Express gained any substantial benefit by it there would be some excuse for the long and wearisome hours passengers by the Cheap" are doomed to endure. WE regret to state that Mr Edward Abadam of Middleton Hall in this county, died on Sun- day morning last. He had been in delicate health for some time, and his death was not altogether unlooked for. The deceased was the eldest son of Edward Hamlin Abadam, Esq., who was high sheriff of Carmarthenshire in 1832, and Member of Parliament for the same county in 1833, by Amelia Sophia, daughter of John Macpherson, Esq. He was born in 1809, and succeeded his father in 1842. He married in 1836, Louisa, daughter of John Taylor, Esq., of York, by whom he had several children. Mr Abadam was high sheriff of Carmarthen- shire in 1855. He was also a justice of the peace, but took no active interest in public affairs. Naturally of a retiring disposition he kept aloof from the Quarter Sessions and county meetings generally. But he was by no means an inattentive observer of current events. On the contrary he knew more about them than was generally supposed. He was an ardent Liberal, and in election times readily forsook the retirement of private life for the noise and excitement ot a political contest. He had con- siderable influence, and his death has caused much sorrow amongst his friends and tenantry. WE last week unintentionally overlooked the Llanboidy Christmas Show. Since then Mr. Powell of Maesgwynne has issued the pro- gramme, and although it is not a fat cattle show, yet it has become an annual ex- hibition that is prized very much by those who reside within its influence. The exhibi- tion is held under the auspices of the Llanboidy Agricultural Society, and the pro- gramme is gradually being enlarged, so as to in- crease its popularity and keep pace with the tastes of the period. What was once a small show of poultry and dairy produce has grown into very respectable proportions as compared with other exhibitions in the country. The specimens of live poultry and roots sent for competition have been very creditable to the district, more especially during the last couple of years. Particularly in roots has the improvement been very remarkable. This is simply due to the encouragement given by the manure manufac- turers and their agents, coupled with a healthy rivalry amongst farmers, which the Society has been the means of fostering. This year prizes are offered for fat pigs and sheep dogs. The dogs are to be judged by their work, and these trials will be an interesting feature in the day's proceedings. So much for what might be called the out-door business. After the public dinner there will be a raffle of farming implements, and a discussion on the subject of judging black cattle by points. This is a subject upon which a good deal has been said and written, and we shall be very glad indeed if this discussion tends to remove some of the doubts and difficulties which at present seem to hang around it. We may mention that the Llanboidy Exhibition will take place on Wednesday the 22nd December, and that all entries must be made in writing to Mr. Powell, at the Maesgwynne Arms, on or before Saturday, the 18th of December. Within the past week the programme for the Llanelly Fat Cattle and Dog Show has been enlarged, so as to include an exhibition of donkeys. This addition, we are informed, has been made at the earnest solicitation of the Rev. A. H. P. Trew- man. The prizes offered for donkeys at New- castle-Emlyn and Carmarthen brought spirited competition; and in Llanelly, where this ex- cellent animal is in great request, we should expect to see a large entry. There are also some additional prizes offered in the department for lean stock. For instance, there is a prize offered for the second best bull of any age or breed, the first prize being increased to £ 3. There are also prizes offered for the best yearling and two-year- old hulls of the black breed. There are a large number of entries for the Carmarthen Show next Tuesday. There are nearly fifty fat cattle en- tered, 125 sheep, and six pigs. In the open classes for live poultry there are 186 entries, and for what are called the local prizes there are 86 entries; and there are no less than 69 entries of pigeons and rabbits. We may say that the entries of fat cattle and live' poultry are con- siderably larger than have been received on any previous occasion. Only two baskets of butter have been entered, but there will be close com- petition for the prizes offered by Lord Cawdor for the best and second best casks of salt butter, there being t welve entries. There are not so many entries of roots as usual. Mr D. Edwards's prize, a gold medal, has attracted the greatest number, there being three entries. On the whole there is every reason to be satisfied and there is no doubt but that there will be a large and excellent show. The entries for the Pem- broke show close on Tuesday next, so that we do not yet know how matters stand; but there is little doubt that a large number of cattle will be entered this year. IN another column will be found the entries for Tenby Steeplechases, which take place on Tuesday and Thursday next week. Mr Bowers has secured a goodly number of entries, and so far everybody has reason to be satisfied with the prospects. Several horses are coming from Eng- lish counties, and as there are at present a good many horses in what may be called the home circuit, there is every probability that there will be abundant sport. The race-course, too, is situate at a convenient distance from the town, and this is a circumstance that favours the at- tendance of the general public. The course is on Lodge Farm, about a mile out of Tenby, and has been placed at the services of the promoters through the kindness of Mr Vickerman, of Hean Castle. Tenby will be full for two or three days, and already the hotel accommodation has been secured by many strangers.
