SIRIIOWY. I WORKMEN'S SYMPATHY.— Some twelve months back an accident befel a young man named Hum. phrey Jones while at work in a pit at Sirhowy. 2?-Y?line was injured, and medical skill has failed to effect a cure, and the poor fellow has to be driven about in a perambulator, and is as helpless as an infant. A short time ago some friends subscribed sufficient to purchase a magic lantern for him, and by exhibiting a series of views Jones has made a few shillings, but nothing like enough to maintain him. A Becond subscription was started among the workmen, and last week a meeting was convened at the upper school-room, when the several collectors handed in the result of their labours. The chair was occu- pied by Mr. Ebenezer Howells, who briefly addressed the friends present and explained the object of tho meeting, which was to give to Hum- phrey Jones a purse of money as a mark of the sympathy of the workmen of the locality for an afflicted brother workman. Miss Parry was called upon to present the purse, and in doing so, she .id-? ympathizing with you in your sad a.?Rit?tion, the workmen and others have collected a sum of E40 Iwhich I now hand over to you in the name of the subscribers, and may it prove of service to you and enable yon to procure a few comforts."
