SIL-C-RUM gens non atrocitate, non dementia mutabatur, quin bellum exerceret." So writes Tacitus (Ann. Lib XII., 32), whoelsewherespeaks of the same people (Agric. 17) as "valida et pugnax Silurum gens." The Silures were a short, well-built, dark-complexioned people, and the invaders considered them a tribe of Spanish origin, probably because the neolithic element that strongly predominated in them, in spite of a later Goidelic. mixture, made them closely resemble the Basques, to whom they were, no doubt, akin. Their territory corresponded in a great measure to what is now called South Wales and Monmouthshire, if we except the Demetas on the Western coast. The other British tribes fell one by one before the ad vance of the Roman Eagle, but neither force nor guile, "neither severity nor clemency" (as the Roman historian expresses it) could tame the Silures or force them to accept slavery. Caractacus, whose name will ever mark the brightest spot in Britain's early annals, trusted mainly in the Silures. They formed the very backbone of his power. Nor did his fall break their spirit. At last the famous general Ostorius was sent against them, but neither his diplomacy, his military skill, nor his personal bravery prevailed, and the stout-hearted old Roman was positively killed by the worries of the war. It was not until that "vir magnus" Julius Frontinus took the work in hand that the Silures were partially overcome, and for gener- ations afterwards the Romans had to keep the second Augustan legion in their midst as a strong permanent garrison at Isca Silurum, afterwards called Carleon, or Camp of the Legion. The descendants of the Silures have since under- gone many vicissitudes, and at times it seemed as if the ancient spirit of this honoured stock had vanished for ever. But nature is always the same, and among the same people history will again repeat itself under favourable circumstances. The Silures are once more taking their pristine place among the peoples of the earth. Their modern victories began with music, but are no longer confined to it, although it is still a matter for pride that the R.A.M. gold medal continues to be won by ladies from South Wales. Last year a South Walian was chosen as Lord Mayor of Lon- don, and next we heard of a Yaughan being made a Cardinal. Then .Wales won the International Football Contest, and this was followed by a victory that brought the Gymnastic Shield to the Principality. Now a Carmarthenshire Volunteer has entered the lists against famous marksmen from all parts of the British Empire, and carried off the Queen's Prize. It will be observed that all the honours we have referred to have been gained by South Wales men—descendants of the Silures. After nearly two thousand years the old spirit and the old race-character are re- asserting themselves, and Britain need not fear invasion by a modern Ostorius so long as she has men like Sergeant Davies, of Llanelly. Wherever Welshmen congregate let this latest triumph be duly celebrated, and let a vigorous whole-hearted cheer go up for "Davies, the Silurian." al- This has been a very exceptional week, and we must ask the indulgence of our correspondents at Llandilo, Cardigan, Tenby, Milford Haven, Narberth, and other places. Most of our district news has been crushed out, but some will appear next week.

MUSICAL SUCCESS.—At the recent examination held by the London College of Music, at this centre, Miss Gwennie P Powell, daughter of Mrs Powell, of the Old Plough Hotel, passed the interminiate section, piano- forte playing, with honours. Miss Powell is thirteen years old, and a pupil of Mr C A Cooke. M PDICAT,. -Amongst those who have lately passed the final examination for the degrees of M. B. and C. M. at the University of Edinburgh is the name of Mr S I Glanville Morris, some time science lecturer at the Car- marthen Science School. Mr Morris has studied at the Royal College of Science, London, where he had a scholarship at St Thomas's Hospital, and at the Univer- sity of Edinburgh. CARMARTHENSHIRE INFIRMARY.—The secretary begs respectfully to acknowledge the receipt of the following The Graphic from Miss Hughes, The Esplanade: several numbers of the Daily Graphic from Mrs Horton, Ystrsd various papers from Mrs Wilson Cwruffrwd a number of medicine bottles from Mr J F Morris and fruit and flowers for the children's ward from a friend. RENT REMISSIONS IX CARMARTHENSHIRE.—On Mon- day and Wednesday last the rent audits of Mr Henry Lavallin Puxley's estates for Llanddarog and Llangen- deirne district were held, when Mr James Thomas, the agent, remitted in each case an abatement of 15 per cent. This was very gratefully received and suitably acknowledged by the tenants at the dinners which took place immediately after each audit, at which the health of the worthy landlord was drunk with great warmth and cordiality, and the tenants on each estate were most loud in their praise for the kindness of their esteemed landlord.—On Tuesday, at the White Hart Inn, in the village of Llanddarog, the rent audit of the Llether- llestry estate of the Rev Herbert Lavallin Puxley was also held, when a remission of 10 per cent was made by Mr James Thomas, the agent, on his behalf. This wa, most warmly feceived by the tenants, and the agent was desired to convey the best thanks of the tenantry to their kind landlord for this unasked for abatement. The dinner, which was prepared by Mrs Voyle, was an excellent one, and ample justice was done to the good things pro- vided, after which Mr Puxley's health was drunk with great enthusiasm, and a very pleasant and agreeable time was spent. MEETING OF MILK VEXDORS.-—A meeting of the milk vendors of Carmarthen was arranged for Wednesday evening last at the Assembly Rooms, to decide what steps should be taken towards raising the price of milk, having regard to the scarcity of fodder. About 40 or more people were present, but owing to the unavoidable absence of the chairman no business was done, and tbe meeting was postponed indefinitely. LOCAL SUCCESSES.—The friends of Mr David Jones, Court, K ewchurch, will be proud to hear that he obtained this year a First Class Advanced in Physio- graphy. Two years ago he passed First Class Mathe- matics, Second Class College of Preceptors, and a Certificate of Proficiency in shorthand. Also, Master John Williams, son of Mr Williams, Kidwelly, passed the examination for clerkship in connection with the Great Western Railway. Both are old pupils of Old College School, Carmarthen. MH. W. R Owex, J. P.—A few weeks ago we an. nounced that our fellow-townsman, Mr W R Owen (brother to Mr C 0 Cellard, Queen-street), had been nominated as a justice of the peace for the borough of West Hartlepool. The original list has suffered many alterat ons, and a number of gentlemen recommended to the Lord Chancellor have ben etruck off and others substituted. Mr Owen's name, however, is retained, and he has now been sworn in to fulfil.the duties and obligations of this honourable office. His many friends in Carmarthen will, we are sure, be pleased to hear of the hononr done to their fellow-townsman. A JUBILEE OF LOCAL SCHOOL TREATS. — A conver- sation about the Wesley an trip to Llanstephan last Monday week brought to "Old Inhabitant's" recol- lection another Sunday school treat (the first ever given in Carmarthen), which took place about fifty years ago, when the scholars in connection with St. David's Sunday and Day schools went in sand barges to Ferryside. About 800 people went with that trip, and although the task of getting them down was by no means an easy one, he still believes that they enjoyed themselves better in those good old times" than people do now, in these days of steam engines and quick travelling. The two men in charge of the boat he was in, were familiarly known as "Jaci Ship and "Jose yr Badwr." The 41st Regiment was stationed in the town at the time, and the Serjeant-Major's two sons went with the trip. When neaiing Ferryside the two boys, whose ideas of bivalved mollusca were evi- dently rather hazy, expressed a wish to be shown the place where the cockles grow," on hearing which Old Inhabitant," who was then a boy of thirteen, volunteered, with ether boys, to act as guide, and on landing they at once set out for the distant sands where the cockles were plentiful. On arriving there the two boys were instructed by their guides to scoop out the sand where the little round holes were, and they would soon find them. "Find what"? queried the boys with a mystified air. "Why, the cockles, of course," answered the guides. "The cockles!" ex- claimed the two boys, Why, we always thought that cockles grew on trees." Loud laughter gretted this expression of boyish ignorance, in which the lads good- naturedly joined, after which they all returned to their companions, and the rest of the day was spent in all kinds of games with intervals for refreshments, the latter being served out in a field under the cliff. The treat was given by Mr Williams, incumbent of St David's, who afterwards became archdeacon, and was the predecessor of the present Archdeacon James. When the tide returned they all came back to Carmarthen, the sail up the river being by no means the least enjoyable part of the trip. BOROUGH POLICE COURT.—The usual borough police court was held on Monday, the 24th inst., at the Town Hall, before the Mayor (Mr Henry Cadle), in the chair; Mr Thomas Thomas, Wellfield; Mr Howell Howells; and Mr T E Brigstocke.—Applications for game licences: Mr Charles Finch, Mr William Evans, Queen-street, and Mr John Evans, Bridge-street, applied for game licences,, which were granted.— Habitations un/it for dwelling Joseph Lewis and Lewis Lewis, fishermen, were charged with having disobeyed an order to close a house in Gibralter-steps, which was inhabited by defendants. The order was made out on the 26th June, and both men had not yet removed. Defendants stated that they could not find a suitable house. Mr Morgan, borough surveyor, sworn, said: The order of ejectment made on the 26th June. It is still in occupation. The place has since been limed and been repaired with mortar and mud. The house, in my opinion, is now fit for habitation. The case was adjourned for a week, in order to have the medical officer's opinion. COUNTY PETTY SESSIONS.—The usual petty session3 were held at the Shire Hall on Saturday, the 22nd inst.' before Mr C W Jones, in the chair; Mr R Jennings, Gellideg; Mr T Parkinson, Castle Pigyn and Mr James Williams Drummond.—Drunk and disorderly Isaac Thomas, Thomas Williams, William Evans, John Williams, John Evans, John Beynon, and Henry Hughes were charged with being drunk and diporderly on the highwav at Llandefeilog on Sunday, the 9th inst. Defendants pleaded guilty. P.S. Jones, Kid- welly, proved the charges. The first two defendants, this being, their second offence, were fined £1 and costs each, the remaining five being fined 10s and costs.— David Davies, farmer, near Llanstephan, was charged with being drunk and disorderly, and refusing to quit licensed premises. P.C. Morgan, sworn, said: I was called to the Castle Inn at 9 o'clock at night. Mr Howell told me that he wanted defendant put out, as he was causing annoyance to the customers in the bar. I requested him to go, but he would not. He did not have anything before him. He was drunk. He had just come from Carmarthen. Defendant, on being asked whether he bad anything to say, said that he could not remember being at the Castle Inn. He was not drunk. He gave P.C. Morgan a shilling, and asked him to fetch some beer for him in a jar, which he did. David Howell, landlord of the Castle Inn, said that defendant came to his house at about 6 o'clock, and had a pint of beer. He came again about 9 o'clock, but was not sup- plied then. He began to abuse one of the customers, and I sent for P.C. Morgan, and, when he came, defen- dant followed the constable out. After a short consul- tation, the Bench dismissed the case.—George Williams, Llandefeilog, and William Owen, Llanstephan, were charged with being drunk and disorderly on the highway on the 16th July. Owen pleaded guilty, P.C. Morgan proved the charges, and Williams was fined lis and Owen 18s 6d. Da vid John, fisherman, Llanstephan, was charged with being drunk and disorderly on the loth inst at Llanstephan. The Clerk Do you plead guilty? Defendant: I was only merry. P.C.Morgan said that defendant was making a noise and wanting to fight with every one. Mr C W Jones Look here, my man, you were here before us in April, and now you. are here again. Defendant: Yes, sir, I know I was, but I won't come here again. I was only chaffing a man named William Isaac, and I was not drunk. Mr C W Jones You know, if we like we can send you to gaol for a month, and we will do so next time you come here We will deal leniently with you this time, and. fina you los and costs, amounting in all to :£ 1 3s. — Being on licensed premises during illegal hours John Morris and David Mansell were charged with the above offence, to which they pleaded guilty. Fined 2s 6d and costs.— Pigs straying on the highway David Evans, farmer, was fined 7s 5d, including costs, for the above offence.— Unlawfully wounding William Jones, a farm servant at Gwempa, in the parish of Llangendeirne. was charged with unlawfully wounding one Thomas Hughes, a farm servant at Blaenrhydw. in the same parish. Mr James John, solicitor, Carmarthen, appeared for the defence. Thomas Hughes, complainant, sworn, said: I am a farm servant at Blaenrhydw, and I live with my father. On the 17th, I was on the bridge near the Bridge Inn. The servant of Gellideg was with me. I had no one with me except him. Defendant had seven or eight men with him. When he came near me, he bagan to give me some of his tongue. I told him I did not want to quarrel with him. When I was going home, William. Jones came from a pig-stye in his shirt sleeves with a stick. When he passed me, he hit me on my ear with the stick. The blow stunned me, and I fell down on my left side. Nothing had been said between us before this. It was a rather stout stick. He caught hold of me when he struck me. My ear bled on the way home. Cross-examined by Mr John: We don't live near each other. I live about two miles distant. I know defen- dant, but we have not been friends. I had been in the Bridge Inn that evening, but I had nothing to drink. I and the servant of Gellideg went out together. There were some boys near the blacksmith's shop, and we stopped to speak to them. I went away by myself. I saw defendant go to the cow-house, and speaking to the servant of the Factory and the son of Glaswern. The men did not go into the cow-house. I did not fall owing to stumbling in the gutter on the side of the road. I fell on my left side. The cut was not caused by falling on my ear. My jacket was covered with blood before I fell. It was a stout hazel stick. These are the clothes (produced) which I wore at the time of the assault. P.O. Rees, sworn, said: 1 remember apprehending defendant on the 21st of this month. I charged him with the assault. I also cautioned him. In answer, defendant said, "1 will tell the truth. I did hit him with the stick on the bead." The stick was withered, and had broken. I cannot find the stick anywhere I asked him why he did it, and he said he could not have peace with complainant. Cross-examined by Mr John The first I heard of this was on Thursday afternoon. I did not hear anything from Hughes. I saw Hughes before I took defendant into custody. Dr E R Williams, sworn, said I am a registered medical prac- titioner in Carmarthen. I examined Thomas and found that the whole of the outer left ear was bruised and cut through to the depth of half an inch. It was clean cut, not ragged. There was a bruise on his ear only. I dressed and stitched it up. I should think it could have been produced either by falling down or by a blow from a stick. It was not done by a sharp instrument. If occasioned by a blow, it must have stunned him. It was in a rather dangerous part of the head. There were no internal injuries. Defendant pleaded "Not guilty." Mr James John then addressed the Bench for the defence. After a consultation of about five minutes' duration, the Bench committed the defendant to the next Quarter Sessions, and admitted him to bail, himself for £25 and a surety for £25, or two of J612 108 each.
