After semao the Mayor beaded a large procession which marched down Churoh-street ou to the end of the Pier. H^r9 Nir William Griffith (assistant town clerk) hauded a stone to tbe Mayor and called upon hira to tbrow the same into the eca at low water mark, and so decline The rights cf the Corporation (which bad betn granted by Royal Charier; to the foreshore of low wator mark. This ,waa arnidet clieerq. Being fivotired with a b?aut;f:.l day a large number assembled, From the Pier a march waa madefor Townaend,and there at the bridge several jumped the river according to an old custom,and from thence proceeded along the sbo.-e to the Point, which was rounded to the boundary of the borough on the shore under the Baro:) Hill Nursery, where there was great scrambling up a most difficult stp ou to the road. Her a nun \\1.8 sent over the fe1:ce of the Nursery From this point the boundary was up the park wood in the direction of P>n Park, and hero we may mention was the most trying pari of the j0Ut1y,ud we noticed several corpulent gentle- men doinc the task under great difficulties, and the summit of China Rock was greatly welcomed. The next move was in the direction of Cafn, the bound- ary being over the roof of the hOus:, which was climbed over, where a hslfc was mtdn aDd re'resh- ments provided. When all had been satisfied a start wtiB made in ihe direction of Oefn Coch Bach, and thence over pari of Cromlyu farm, where several laoghable incidents marked the Crossing rof a wide stream. Gatting over the hill another stream wss corns to.whioh.t'or nearly a milo in the direction of Goralwyd, L-anddona, forms th., b-iundtry. This stream was walel through, by nn advantorous spirit in the crowd, who made light of the various obstacles met with on his journey. At Gorslwyd a quaint ceremony was performed, namely tbe chsiring of a" Queeu cf Llaoddona, Mrs Mary Owell oonuing in for that bon"ur. The next event was lunch at Ty'nllan, Llaniestyn, at about 1.30 p.m., after which a short and hearty ser- vice wat «iven in the parish oliurob, when thi Rev. Morris Griffith (vicar) officiated. Another ancient custom was observed here: the sohool toys oarried a torf. on their beads and preceding tbe mayor's pro- ceasioD to ohnrob, each turf was thrown on entering b:hbbUTb; U;:ow,øDb dfr:o1 I h Penvbryn and Tanycond. At the former place Mrs 1 M. flow'ands, who is 98 years of ago stood on the boundary and welcomed all. Gyfynys was riaohed at 4,30,hre rofresbments were also provided. After some sports had been indulged in for priZ'1 offered by several gentlemen p"080nt, the company procefded along the river to King's Bridge and on to Rbos, whioh hoose was walked through, and theuce on to the shore to Llaofaea Weir, which is the other boundary of (h i borough.

CARNARVON.-.I
CARNARVON. Tho Misses Bughird have presented to St. David's Chorsh a handsome set of stoles, regarded as a most acceptable and time'y gift.

Tnit \ATIOXAL SCTINOLS. —In his last report on the above pchoota Her Majesty's Inspector states that the bo\n' department is very well conducted and the cbaraoter of the instrnotion is Blowly but Btsadilv improving. There was also much good work in the ciria* school. The infants' sohool was kindly and sympathetically condnoted, and instruc- tion imparted was in many respects of a high order, the ohildren heing bright end intelligent, especially in the second and third-classes. It may be sdded that plans cf the proposed improvements at the gobools b ,v, be^n practioally approved by the Education Department, who, however, still require to be satisfied on some minor points. The pupil teachers have all passed, while the amount of grant received bv the schools exceeded the amount allowed by zCl6 15s. Mr Pmr, MORRIS'S HISTORTC PICTCIIK — Rome weeks ago we referred to the movement initiated by Mr Charles A. Jones to collect subscriptions to n-cure as town property the historic picture by Mr Phil Morris, RA., which was exhibited at the last National Eisteddfod and has remained here ever since. The subject of the picture is Edward I. demanding allegianco to his infant son. Mr Jones set to work with chsrao^eristio energy and was Pot to work vrl encouraged not a little by the promise of a handsome donation from the Eisteddfod Committee if be suc- ceeded in collecting sufficient to oompWe the pur- chase money. The response, however, was not as ) ib- rol as might h»v- been desired, but a cons derable amount waS cDlleëterl and Mr Jonea communicated to the eminent artist the resnlt of hia efforts. We arm now pleased to state that Mr Phil Morris, recognising the trouble hkpn and the fict, that Carnarvon is the most fitting town to become the home of the picture, hes very generously consented to v.-aivo one-third of his price, and consequently the picture will in a few days b3 handed over for. mally to the town. This great painting will form one of the most valuable and attractive items in th" enXftion of the Museum, which is in course of bd!:g ovn by the Corporation. Cncncn DKFRNCR.The Church Monthly." re- ferring to th, petitions sect out agaiDBt tbe Dises- tablishment Bill, says The authorities of the Church having ordered a netition to be prepared in Llanbeblig parish, the work of ascertaining public feeling on the question of Disestablishment was undertaken by a willing bend of Church workers, end every street and alley in the parish, as wellllos tho outlying places, were visited, with tbe result that ot those over sixteen years of age, about three thousand expressed themselves to the effect that tbe Government proposal was nnvr'ae, impolitic, and unjust. fhe most striking feature in tbe Llanbeb- lig petition is that the very poor were unanimous in their verdict; and the fact that the canvassing was oarried out to a large extent by young people of the working class dispoaea of the insulting suggestion of seme of tbe Government advocates, that signatures are obtained by pressure from the parsons. As far :e ;d !nr?; f tflil! r¡' took part in the canvass. On the other side, Non. conformists were urged by pulpit iiprl press and 'setfawr' not to siim any petition, and io spits of this some hundreds of them proved superior to the worldly considerations and gave their names. Tbe great majority of the shopkeepers refused. It is our honest belief that with some noble exceptions they were afraid to sign." It has been deoided to bold a Churoh Defence meeting at tbe Drill Hall, on the 22nd instant, under the presidency of the Lord-lieutenant of the county (Mr J. E. Greaves). After protesting against disestablishment and disendowment the parish- ioners will be asked to declare themselves in favour of the resolution that: In order to strengthen the Church against attack it is desirable that the laity should have a larger share in the management of her affairs than heretofore." To give effect to this resolution when carried, it will be tben proposed that a permanent committee should be formed to organise and defend the Church.

H, Bees in the chair.—The Chairman oongratulated the olub upon the balance sheet presented, and pointed out that the number of members for last season indicated that thtl club, whicu had been established since 1856, was increasing in popularity, and that it thowed that the youcg men of Carnar- von availed themselves of the facilities offered for excelling in the art of rowing and other advantages thct were offrfred by bp'ng members. He also stated tbat if the gentry of the district only koew more of the working and cibjecta of the olub and g»vs it their support it could be made a rowing olnb aecond to none in the king'lum.—On the motion of toe ohairman it was resolved that a hearty vote of thanks be tendered to Mr John Williams, organis*, and the members of tbo troupe and orchestra for their kind assistance and the efEoient manner in which they gave the entertain- ments in aid of the c'.uh during the winter months.

The defendant had difficult duties to discharge, standing as he did between his pmployor3 and the publio and the complainant knew, as well us RlIY man, about the practice as to platform tickets—Wliile the defen- dant was tendiritig evidence, a nonsult-.tion took place between the advocates, the result 01 whioh both summonses were withdrawn, Mr Carter adding an expr'8Ion of 'egret that toe collector had taken hold of tee complainaui at ..11.1'0, Bsnoh agreetl to this course.

Birnes (representing the subscribers), W. O. Wrigby, Colonel Main- waring, Thomas Jones (Anglesey Couuty Council), and William Jonea, Holywell. Mr Wm BANKER, the clerk and steward, reported 'hat the clasifiostion of the inmate^ of the Asylum waa as follows;—Deobigshira, 170, 27 over qmt# Flintshire, 132, 39 over quot; Anglesey, 73, 12 over quota; Carnarvonshire, 141, 2 under quota; Merionethshire, 72, 12 over quota; totals: 588 in- Ulate, 90 over quota, and 2 under quota. The balance in the bauds of the trea^uror in the main- tenance account was iC961 Is Id; Glanywtrn, E333 2s lid. There were 65 female patientB at Glanywern Branch Asylum. Dr. Cox reported that there were 41 per cent, of the intnatea employed. The CHAIBMAN explained that that was a bad average because Derby, Shrewsbury, and Bristol Asylums would only take patients who could work. The ohairman then gave a summary of the com- parative cost of the addition t,) the Derlbihshire Asylum and the coat of one erected in Carnarvon- shire. He said the cost of building boundary wallp, out-honsHB, farm sheds, and cf making a garden and recreation frounds "cold be 6aveJ by making th? addition to D,nb?gb, b?t it would coat sMersl thou-«anda at Carnarvonshire, the difference being iC50,000 at Denbigh And £ 75,000 at Carnarvon. Since they last met a deputation had waited upon the Homo Secretary by desire, and the matter was fully discussed, and be thought from the ques- tion put by the Home Secretary that he had an insight into the subject. Ha thought the Home Seoretary was more impressed by argument for the Denbigh enlargement tban that of bailding an additional asylum at Carnarvonshire, and when they considered tho evidence from an £ B. d. point of view it was absolutely overwhelming in favour of Denbigh, although the cost at Denbigh for the plans Approved of were fir 6d per cubic foot, which waa acknowledged to be a high estimate, for some ot the plans sent in were as low as 2id per cubic foot. There was X19,000 estiirate for the private patients' quarters, and they would get a deal of that back. That expenditure would pay them. Mr THOMAS JONEa That is what Cirnarvans-hiro argues. The CHAIRMAN went on to deal with the matter ia detail, and other business of a formal character having been ele.ilt with, the meeting concluded its business.

Mr and Mri4 Jones, Penrhos Archdeacon Prvoo, Canou E. Williams, Bev. Harding. RHV. H. Piiestley. neneglwys Rev. G. W. Griffith, Gaerwen Or. Williams, <fcc.—Tha chair was taken by Cmon Williams, who said that tbe object of that meeting was to defend the Churoh, A great deal had been said in tbe HoUt1 of Commons about the passionate desire of the Welsh people for dis- e&t,bJishment. He thought the petitions which had been sent from the different parishes would te'l a very different tala (hear, hear). Those oeti- tions were very awkward and stubborn faots to deal with (cheers). Therefore, no effort would be spared by the Rarlioal M.P.'s of Wales to do awav with their significance. They were told that the signatures were got by false pretences and by every pousible unfair means (shame). Nox, if anybody had a right to complain of unfsirness with regard to the petitions in this country, it was the Church Party and not tho Liberationism. Referring to the letter of the Bishop of Bangor in the Times," re the ohapel screw, the speaker said that was a very formidable indictment for a Bi-hop to make againet a religious body, But it was strictly true, and be oould corroborate every word ot it by what had taken place iu that parish (Iouil che'-rs). Every possible influence had bo-n used by the bigots in the seiat of the Calviuistic Metbolists to prevent the people signing the petition againsk disestablishment—(shame)—and it certiinly had had the effect of deterring some. In spite of all the warnings and intimidations, out of a population of 1600 their petition, whioh was taken round by 20 of their own Churcbpeople and most of them of the working ola«s», was signed by 582 (Iourl cheeks). In Ib parish of Trecaian the signatures were only five abort of half tbe population (cheers). He thoogt ,he chre of false pretences and nofair m"n, Mme with a bad graoe from tb mouth of the Welh M.P. 's.who had over and over again been convicted upon the clearest e.idenca of what he fearei he could but call wilful misrepresentations (loud cheers). The violent and unscrupulous assertions of Mr Lloyd (4porge had been used a little too often (obeerr.). Of him and Sir Oiborne Morgan he could hardly speak with patience. Tbey were surely not the mon to throw dirt at the landlords and the hardworking clergy of Wales (oheers). Let overy parish do its dnty, and he maintained tbat their petitions would prove that tbs Church had not lost the confidence aud affection of the people ofWales.— Archdeacon Pryce said that he had never taken any prominent part in politios, hot at the present crisis he felt that he would be obliged to take a political side (cheers). Let them all unite and do their utmost in the oomiog struggle.—The meeting was also addressed by Mr Jones-Morris, Portmadoc.— The meeting then terminated.

Mr JONATHAN I oavir..s (chairman of the District Council) was asked to explain what the Council bad done, but he replied that he first of all wished to know what was before the meeting, The VicAR said that the object of the nteating was to discuss the desirability or otherwise of endorsing or approving the application made by the Urban District Council to the Local Government Board.

JONES replied that it would be an aG. vantage to have all parochial matters under the control of the bo-y that managed parish affairs. Mr JONATHAN DAVIES explained at greater length the provisions of the new Aot, and referred to the advisability of dealing more directly with the over- seers and equality of ae-e;sment, Wi;h regard to the assistant overseer be bad every respect tor the present officer, and when he brought the matter up at the Conneil be said there was no inten'ioa to in- terfere with the assistant overseer. Mr Davies sho dwelt upon the advan'eges which would be gained in regard fo allofmouts. Mr JOHN JONES-MORRIS supported the motion in so tar as it dealt with overseers,but not in regard to the assistant overseers. Dr. JONKS-MORRIS considered the question a very important one, and the members of the Ditriot Council should have taken the ratepayers into their confidence when seeking election. As to allotments when the Council took the land they would be liable to the landowners for the rents. Were the ratepay- ers willing for the Council to be guarantors to the landcwnr-rs ? Mr JONATHAN DAvips said that the power hai been given to thousands of small parishes,and the princi- ple had long been agreed upon. Mr JOHN JONES-MORRIS proposed as an amend- meut that the power of appointing assistant over- seer be vested in tho vestry as heretofore. Mr JOHN PAUL eeconded. Mr 1-?AVID MOURB supported the motion and said the Counoil had neer mentioned a word abon interfering with the preent assistant ovorseer, <i? if such rumour bad got abroad he could not account'I for it except that it had oríginatN with Mr Owen himself. Mr W. R. OWEN: I deny that. Mr JONATHAN DAVIKS observed that if they wished to StJe what had beeu done at the time by tha Coun- oil they could easily a-ie hy looking up the report in the" North Wales Chronicle."

If they offered the housa more it would have a very de'erreut effect, but tha word had gone round that ths home was overorowded. -The Chairman replied that they could send them to other workhouses if theirs was overcrowded.—Mr Owen Jones proposed that Mr Birfihara's report be referrod to the Housa Committee.—Thia was seconded by Mr William Jones, aod tseled. -Tl,- oounty rata precept for Merioneth wa £L876 lis 10d.—The Chairman asked the olerk to make a statement for the next meeting giving a compara- tive statement of the expenditure six years bsfora the formation of the Couuty Councils, aod six years aft"r,-It was deoided to hold the annual meeting that day fortnight.

I SEVEN POUNDS _1ST ONE WEEK.
I SEVEN POUNDS 1ST ONE WEEK. Not every man who is thm would thank you for fattening him. He doesn't want to he fat, and for very good reasons. Unnecessary tat is a load to carry about it interferes with a man's power to work, shortens his wind, and dulls his wits. Yet, on the other hand, a certain amount of flesh is needed for health and comfort For example A man five feet hi.^h should weigh about 1201bs: and a man five feet six inches 1451bs a man six feet, 17Slbs. It is a regular ascending scale. Tho insurance companies allow a variation of 7 per cent, above or below I it, and beyond those limits charge !>n extra premium. One shouldn't be much over or under his proper weight, if he wants to be sound and hearty —and we all do want that. Now we will tell you how Mr Thomas Crosby, being under weiht, gained seven pounds in a week. He had JOBt I t stone, which is too much off for a man who was never fleshier than he naturally ought to be. It was this way. He was right enough up to May, 1891. At that time he began to feel ill, and ont of sorts, He had a nasty taste in his mouth-like rotten esgs, he 8aY8- and a thick, slimy stuff came on his gums and teeth. His appetite failed, and what he did eat was. as yon might say, under comdulsion ? and right after- wards he wonld have -Lr??at pain in his stomach and chest, Plainly.something was amiss with him in that region. He was often dizzy, and cold chills ran over him as thollh he were threatened with fever Of conrse we' should expect a man w)]0)sh!mdtGd in this way to IOM strength. Mr Crosby lost strenth In fact, ho ?otaowMk and nervous that he shook all over, aid his hands trembled as if a current of eleotrieity were running through him. To use his own words: I rapidly lost flesh, was li stone lighter, and could hardly walk about. Once my parents thought I was dyin, and sent in haste for the doctor. I saw two doctors in Epwortli and one at Haxev, but they were not able to help me. Our vicar, Rev. Mr Overton, lecommemded me to the Lincoln In- I ?._ Iirmary, wnere l attended tor eight weeks as an outdoor patient, without benefit. "Soon afterwards Mr Sharp, a chemist, at Epworth, spoke to me of the virtues of a medicine known as Mother Seigel'g Curative Syrup. Being inteiested in what he said, I left off trying other things and began taking this Syrup. In a few days I felt bettor, and presently I gained seven pounds in a week. At that rate I soon crot back to my work, and have had the best of health ever since. I tell these fictF3 to everybody, and aui perfectly willing they should be published. Yours truly (Signed), TOM CHOSBT, Furry Road. Epworth, via Don- elster, December 2:;rd, i892." After reading Mr Cro-by's story we scarcely need to ask why he lost flesh. The minute be stepped eating and digesting his usual allow. ance of food he began to fall away. Trees, they say, grow as much from the air by means of their leaves as they do from tho soil. But men don't. They've got to be built up through their stomachs. Indigestion and dyspeps'a (Mr Croshy's complaint I tops this process and poisons those who have it besides. Tiibt accounts for all the painful and dangerous symptoms our friend speaks of. The doctors do what they can, but, unhickdy, they don't possess the medi"ine tiiat croes to the bottom of this disease and cures it. The remedy is Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and nothing else so far as we know. It restores digestion, and digestion covers the bones with fat enough for health and good looks.
