THE PHOPAGATMN OF THE GOSPEL. —On Suuday evening hut Bishop Keliey, late of New- foundland, preached at 8t David's Church in aii of the above society. There was a very large congregation. I The V "D. Arhdaco¡¡ Smut (,"t-,) t,S?tm}d?riug the first part of tho service. The sioging was exceed- iugly hearty, that grand hymn, All hail tbe power of Jcsu's name,' baing sung with llluch fervour by the whole congregation. The B:8hop chose for his text the has givea him h;g heart's dssire, ani has not witbholden the request of hi, lipi. (Poalmxxi. 2.) In the text, tho preacher averred, was to be found the highest and noblest encouragement for perseverance iu earnest efforts that Christ s naill" may bo beard and loved throughout the length and breadth of the entire universe. People were <1pt,8oIDetime/Õl, to lose heart, because they did not see 46 once tue success they expected would follow their earnest labours but, if they only realised that they were doing their best to carry out the words of tbo text, bow thit thought wouid nerve their powers to go forth still more strongly and persevere still more earnestly, knowing that at length' 8UCC"3 must corne. They mictit all do some- thing towards bringing about the iultiimeut of tne heaitsdesire of Jesus. Kaeh individual hearer could do h s part ti bring into tho fold of Christ those at preseut stiaugers to the cutnmouwe;ltii of Israel 'Tbey that sow in tears teha'1 reap in joy.' Noivh-re was the tiutb of those words more clearly to be traced than in the work for God being done by mis- I Biou..y enterprise throughout the wodJ. A buching allusion was then made to the tirst mission in Central Africa. Though tbo noble-hearted leader "f that mission was sleeping calm y iu his lass loug sleep the work was beiug ciriied ou in that 'dark continent by other earnest hearts. Iu the South S, a hhud., aain, a great work was being done. The work had not faded because tho fir.jt woikera were called to their rett. It was a story of Bunce;B allii¡J waal at first appeared to be a failure.

Such narratives must lead them to think of the way in which one miuister after another was called upon to pass from the scene of aartbly laboui, aud tbey mint ask, What have i done in cempari-iou with what they did V The tillle was coming most certainly when the Lord's desire would be fulfilled, when from every ooroer of the earth tbere shall cime tbo'e who had been brought to know ilila who is their Saviour and their Lord, and shall swell into a multitude which no man can number.—The annual public meeting was held in tile Town tlall on Monday afternoon, the chair beiug taken at three o'clock by Dr. A. 15.

MENAI JHt!Vil. I LLANDTSILIO COMMISSIONERS.— t he first meeting of the newly-elected Board was beid on Fiidiy week at Menai Brldgs. Mr Pennant Lloyd decliuiugthe chair, mauship, Mr John Morgan (Cadnant) was unanimously re-appointed. It was intimated that Mr H. Bulkeley Price was desirous of not acting upon the Board, owing to his frequent abseuce from Menai Bridge, and it was decided that the appointment of his suecesFor should be discussed at auother me9tÎ:1lo(. Tuo first Saturday in each month was fixed for holding the meetings, and Mr R. G. Thomas was re-appointed clerk. THE LOCAL BOARD QUESTION.—A largely attended meeting of ratepayers was held at the Magistrates' Room 00 Friday week, to consider what steps should be taken in view of the inquiry directed by the Local Government Board into the requisition for the forma- tion of of the parish, which is now under the charge of the sanitary su'hority of the Bangor aud Bstuaiuui Union, into local board district. Mr John Morgan I (chairman of the Llandysilio Commissioners) presided. 10 the course of the proceedings it was seated that withia the last twaD..y years both the population and also the rateable value of the parish had doubled. A resolution in favonr of th. establishment of a local boatd was agreed to, and the chairmvi and othur rate- payers were appoiuted to attend the inquiry, which waa hold on Tues 'ay. A meeting of those who think it is unfair that the whole parish of Llandysilio should be taxed for the sanitary expanses of Msnai Bridge, was alsu held at the Four Crosses, aud representatives were appointed to lay its views of the question before the commissioner. THE LOCAL BOARD QUESTION AT MKNAI BRIDGE. At the Bangor Workhouse on Tuesday morning a Local Government Board inquiry was held by Mr Smith, C.E., rehtive to the application from the parish of Llandyeilio to be constituted a Local Board district insteul of continuing under the control of the Sanitary Authority of tha Baugor and Boaumaris Uuion.—Mr Griffith Dew appeared in Biipport of the application, and Mr J. W. Hughes (Messrs Hughes and Pritchard), for the rector, and other parishioners who desire that the boundary of the proposed Local Board district should be circumscribed aud not iaclue the whole parish. There were present:—Colonel the Hon. W. E. Sackville West (chairmau of tbe Bangor and Beaumaris Board of Guardians) Mr Murray Browne, Local Government Board Inspector; Mr P. A.

The resolution passed at a meeting of the rate- payers at :\1enai Bridge in iavour of the formation of the district find of a Local Boad of Health was handed to the Commissioner.—Mr J. W. Hughes asked if there v??,, ..y legal evidence of the holdi^ ng of the me«tm,—MrT. 'Jone9Mked Mr Hughes why he objected. For whom did he appear t-,Ilr Hughes replied th.t he was instructed to appear.—Mr Pennaut Lloyd said that instead of three governing bodies they wanted oDe. At present they lia-I three-the Commis- sioners, the Bangor Board of Guardians, and tho Parochial Sanitary Committee.—The Inspector No you have only one. The Committee have only to examine and report. The Rural Sanitary Authority call to their aid loc,l knuwiedg" and talent.r Pennant Lloyd: The fact that they employ us shows that they require our services, it would be 1. advan- tige to Meuai Badge if instead of the three bodies we ha,1 one. The area of the parish i, 872 acres. The census was taken nine years ago, and the population W,3 theu about 1150. It i., I thiuk, now about 201)0. The rateable value is £ 4300. Out paid by "be urban population—the ratepayers of the viihge itself. The population of tue rutal portion of the pariah is about 1700.—Tbe I want you to show me the a Wantage yo" will get from a new governing body.—Mr Lloyd Local men will manage their own affairs. We think tbat local men can miuage their own aff iirs better than other persons can doitfor thetn.—Tbe Inspect ir: Are they hadly managed .t preo-nt :-1I1r Lloyd: N. 1 do not say that. Latterly there has been great delay. I cannot say who is to blame. We have Been wanting water for tllfe" y",lr8. The Inspectur I am here to investigate the revised scheme. The difficulty is to get a sufficient quantity of water. You say that the Committee have been slow ? —Mr Lloyd Tbey have been slow. The Committee only meets once a mouth. If a letter comes from the Local Government Hoard soon after a Committee meet- ing a montb dripse. beiore it is considered and aD an- ewer Bed. -The lnqptelor Pill if you had a local board it would not maet very often.—Mr Lloyd The clerk could call a meeting at auy time.—The Itev. \V. C. Ed. wards The clerk can nay tbat tuere has been no delay. -Col)nel West I think there has been any no. necetsary (Iel:iy.-)Ir Lloyd No, I dua't say that. Mr Edwards, tbe vicar, reminds me that I didn't at first vote for a local board. No, 1 did not. I know it is not an unmixed blessing. I am not a strong partisan.— Mr J oho Morgan "aid he was chairmnn of the me2tíng of ratepayers. Tile question was pretty well discussed. Tuere were about forty persons pres.nt.-Hev. W. C. Edwards: How many ratepayers are there ?—Mr Mor- gtiu I don't know. —Mr Thomas (clerk to the Guar- diaus) 409.—Mr Pennant Lloyd There are many tllIpllCate.-)!r Morgati said tbat the general pilicy of the Local Government Board was opposed. A very great n:5j¡¡rity ,)1 the ratepayers of Llandysili) werosiill of opiuion that Menai B.idije should be constituted a local board district. The Kural Sanitary Authority had decided that there must he draiuage and a water Bupply.1'he II\8p,,tor ob8er.od that they were ohlie,¡ t) do s,).Mr Morgan said bey firmly cou- tended tbat such work- could be carried out more econo. mically by a local board composed of residents respon- "ibid to their fellow-ratepayers than they could by par- sons sitting at Bangor who Jhl no" pay a farthing towards the rates of the parish. If the Loc i! Govern- ment Board granted the application the latepayers would be able t,) elect a board who would carry out thiugs more affectively, and with but; little increaso of the rates. He hoped the palish would not be cut in two.-Mr J. W. Hughes How have you ascertained that the maj trity of the ratepayers are in favour of the formation of a lecal board district ?—Mr Morgan By talking.—Mr Hughes You have been round to them ?—Mr Morgan I have been liviug amongst thern.-)1r Hughes That is in the viliage. Have you been in the upper part of the parish ?—Mr Morgan: Yes, I have heeu talking it over with nil of them,-The Inspector: And they agreHd !r Morgan Yos, the maj.,rity.-r Thomas Jones, wine merchant, Menai Bridge, a Guardian, and a member of tbt3 Parochial Committee, said be was of opiuion that local men would be far more able to cirry out the necessary works at Menai Bridge, nnd to carry them out more economi- cally, than any Board at Bangor or anywhere 0180.- The lniipectur From your own knowledge can you tell me that a number of good and intelligent men w,ul.1 be elected IH members uf a Local Board! —Mr Jones: Yes, equal to auy that can be found at Bangor (a laugh). —Tue Inspector: Have you any fault to fiud with the way in which the work has been doue by the Sanitary Authority ?—Mr Jones: No, except perhaps that they have ben dilatory.—The Inspector: Do you expect that more would be doue if you had a Board? —Mr Jones The members of the Board would be ratepayers. There is no barrier of lulls dividing the puisb. The whole of that ide-fjve or six hundred acres-i. sure to be built upon in the next thirty years. It would be uufair to divide the parish into two pottions.—The Inspector At what rata has building gone on ? How many houses have been built within the last leu years ? — MrJonos: About one hUlldrerl houses. Property could not be obtained then. It has only been obtain- able silica tho present Marquis of Anglesey came iuto tbe property. There is auother thing. The farmers would fiud a better sale for their butter and eggs. There would be more visitors. —Tiie luapector: Do you think the Sanitary Authority keeps them back 1- Mr Joue: The want of draiuige aud a proper water supply does. We tbiak the Sanitary Authority have been dilatory.—The Inspector Can you show me that your Board would be more prompt?—Mr Jones: The governing body would be quicker.—Tbe laspeotor If you put it to mo that urban are quicker than rural authorities, I WU8t .ay that they are uot BII. I know a C3e ill which the first application made to the Local Government Board wis not with reference to sewerage aud water supply, but with respect to the piving of the streets, which they would have to break up again when the drainage wail put dJlVu.-lr Joues That d'd not show great wisdom.—The Iusprctor If the upper part of the dis'rict were excluded would you still be in favour of a Local D.d? If a line were drawn around your present urban district, inchding only the houses, would yotl then be in favour of a Locd Board ?—Mr Jones: Certainly uot—.Mr Utiglits YOIl say the Mar. quis of A."g1c,ey i. selling lots ?—Mr Jones I have beeM told Bo.-)lr Hughes: Do you know thac the is opp teed to that property beiug included in the new district ? —Mr Jones: 1 d, In. I spector Yoti are for the parish, tÍJe whole parish, and nothing but tha parish ',I, Jones — Dr. Davies Hu?hes ,,ii I am a medical practitioner, practi,io at Menai Bridge. I have practised there for eleven years I consider the puish of Llandysilio is a very small parish. It is thi smallest in Anglesey. It is io the same state as it was eleven years tlo.-if rny thing a little worse. The R'Tal Sanitary Authority have neither rmÍ10ved Ul\!anC"8 nor lighted the streets. It is most danger- ous wi king about Menai Bridge on a dark night. They bave done nothing at all for m. Tbe Why didn't you waken thern up by writing to the Local Government Board ?—Dr. Hughes We lived in ex. pectation (Laughter).—Mr Pennant Lloyd We have tried to pike them up.—Mr Thomas (olerk-to the guardians) Has not 1;400 been spent ou a drain iu Menai Bridge?—'The Inspector: If they have Bpent that upon a drain it shows that something has been cloue.- I Jr. Hughes Has it been approvedThe Inspector Has the money been spent?—Dr. Hughes We are to all appearance in the same pORition as we were at first. —Mr Pennant Lloyd: The drain was built iu 1874 and there was no water to llusii it.-Dr. Hughes in reply to the inspector, feaid he was decidedly of opinion that the necessary works could be carriei out better by a local board,—Vlr Samuel Dew sdd: I am a ratepayer aud live at Menai Bridge. I aUsoded the meeting of the ratepayers and voted for the resolution in favour of the formation of a local board district. I quite agree with what bü already bead said-that a local board at Menai Bridge would carry out more efficiently, and more speedily, and more economically what we require to be done. If £ 400 has been spent upon drainage it has had very little effect There is no outlet from the principal houses at Menai Bridgc.-The Inspector: But the sanitary authority have had before them a scherno for draining the place. Did you attend the inquiry I beM here ?—Mr Dew No.—The In'reMor: This i?only an adj?urnm?,nt of that inquiry.—Mr D?ow- The principal ratepayers are here loiing their time.— The Don't say that. They are here in the public interest.—Mr Dew: It shows their interest. To show that there are saea at Meuai Bridge capable of porformiug the duties which would devolve upon members of a heal board, I iii-ty say that it his only tiksn them twelva mouths to get an Act of Parliament for enclosing the common. A portion of the c un- man hae heoD bold, a,d tbere aie now from twolve ts eihteeu houses upon it.—Tho lospector You say thai an intelligent body uf men will be found to couduet affairs?—Mr D,.w Yee.The Inspector: Will a good Board ba elected ? Are you able tw assure we that we" would be I.d"d wlJ<) would carry out what is required to be done ? Mr Dow I can sy without Ftuv disrespect to the Sanitary Committee that a body of men will be found at Meuai Bridge quite capable of carrying out the work*.—Tne Will they be elected ? I can give you an instance in which the oppnueuts of a scheme Save beeu eent in.—Mr Dew: There Hre few opponents oi this scheme at Menai Bridge.—The Inspector: Wait! Your Te861ution wis carri-rl by 25 to 13. Mr Morgan told me it was the largest meeting you have had for a long time, the usual number oi persons atteuding such mettics being eight and cine. Now, if that is goiug to b. tho ctse--if no more interest is taken iu the mattar than tbat-what proof call YOll give me that you will got a good Board ? —Mr DdW: There is a large majority in favour of the Inspector: Tho larg mijority mutcome here and tell we eo. You are only speaking frOrD boar. I say.—Mr Dew: Not hearsay exactly. There is a difri. culty in getting paople to attend a vestry sometime.. -Tue Inspector: What whip are you going to use to make them toko an interest ill the election of men to serve on the Local Board?—Mr Delv: It would not be necessary. There wouid be sufficient good men out of the forty to form a good Board,Tho Inspector Yes, if the 412 rilte!yer", wOllld say so. Would they eled good energetic men to carry out the necessary work f- Mr Dew: Yes.—The Iuspecter I wid take what you say. It is your opinion.—Mr Dew: We very recently elected seven or eight 01 en to act as CowmiMioDers.- The Inspector: But the Commissioners have not t» spend a very large sum of money.—Dr. Hugh Pry. therch said he hacl heard the evideuce already giVln. and he aireed with it. Even if the upper portion of the parish were excluded lie should be in favour of a Local Board.—By Mr J. W. Hughes: Meuai Bridge is a small placa, but it is a ricu place. It has many free- holders. There are many ladies who own propsrty tbere who do not corua to this meeting.—The In- spector Why den't tlioy come ? At an inquiry tbe other day there were ladies who most vigorously opposed au application.—Mr Thomas Evans said: I live at Menai Bridge, and aID a corn merchant I agree with the evidence which has beeu ivelJ. I should approve of the ..tablisbmel1t of a Local Board, even if iti district were coulined to Menai Bridge. I have beard a great any complaints, and I think it ia timo tbero was a chau". I think that intelligent men would be electad to serve 00 the Local Board.—Mr Richard Thomas, architect and clerk t", the Commis- 8io"wr, said he took it that now the powers of the Urban Authority only extended to dr3iûuga and water. —The Inspector: They have other powers.—Mr Thomas: But they are not exercised. W. want lighting. We want bathing accommodation, and want to generally improve the place for visi. tors.—Tbe They have power to pro- vide bithing acc Jmmod,ltion.-Mr Thomas: But the probability is that a Local hoard would attend tu the, things better than the S initary Authority.—The Inspector: Why do you say probably!" The Authority cau provide what you require.—Mr Thomas Elft. the gentlemen who form the Sanitary Authority are not quite as capable of knowing the requirements uf the place a; residents. They may not have time to come to Menai Bridge.—Tbe No, and they ap- point a parochial committee, whose duty it is 11 investi. gate aiiii report. Cau yt u show me any dereliction of duty on the part of the Authority 1-[r Thomas We have taeu quite a* clpahls.-The lospector: Y Oil want a change. Why ? —Mr Thomas We have beeu trying to more the Loc:ilOovero¡Dent Board for dve ,earB.-The Have YlJlI been trying tOlUoveth\} Authority ?—Mr Thomas: Yes. I do nol tIJi,.k t'w drain which was put down in 1S74 would have been made a, it was if We had had a local board.—Tha Inspector: What, more work would be doue if you had -a local board. If the Par,>chial Com- mittee do not do their work you must wake them 111" What were they appoiuted for ?—Mr Thomas: To report. -To, A committee of a local board would have to do the same thiug. If you want another authority you must show we that the present authority have uot done their work. Have you reported anything yourself and found tbat 110 attention has beeu paid to the matter !1r Thoiaati Tbere are certain nuisances. There are sliughter houses in the ceutre of tho village. —Tbe Inspector Have you brought that uader the notice of the Authority ?—Mr Thomas I have not done .0 myself, but I know that it has been brought under the uotice of the Authority, but the slaughter houses have not been removed.—Tbe Inspector Whatdid you [ ask the Authoiity to do ? —Mr Thomas Wo asked that tbe slaughter houses might be properly regulated.—Mr Lloyd (iuspector): I have reported the slaughter houses. I —Mr Thomas: The refuse from the slaughter houses waks th,?k? and £nds its way on to the ply ground of the British school. —Dr. The nuisance was reportel at.d attempts have been made to abate it. It cannot, however, bo doue away with entirely until the draiuage works are carried out. I have reported the nuisance once or twice, and Mr Lloyd has done so re- p.tedJy.-Tha Iuspector Is it a fact that tho draiuage from the slaughter hOU3e soaks on to the piay ground of the school ?—Mr Thoma3: The garbage finds its w ly on to the ground.—Tbe Rev. W. C. Edwards I have spoken to the butcher several times about it- The In. spector: It seems that the matter has been brought uuder the notice of the Authority find steps taken to abate the nuisance.—Mr Thomas: It has not been pro. perly abated.—The luspfictor Dr. Rees says itcsnnot be effectually removed until there is drainage.—Dr. Hughes: The slaughter houses should be removed altogether.— The Inspector: Suppose a line were drawn excluding the upper portion of the parish would you then be ia favour of a local board I-Mr Thomas: Not exactly if the boundary only included the village proper. I want to include laud I know will be built upon within the next few years.—Mr J. W. Hughes: What advantage will the resideDtg above the level of the reservoir derive Mr Thomas If there is a large number of visitors in Menai Bridge, the farmers would fiud a market for their produce.— The Iasoector Tbere is that w(,rd if." If this bkes ,,1."°, and if that, what a paradise you will bave.—Mr John Hughes, grocer, sail ho was in favour of a local board, because there wero many thiugs which ought to be done at Menai Bridge.—Mr Richard Party, contractor, said he was iu favour of a local board. He believed such a board would be able to carry out the necessary works cheaper than a board at Ba:,gor would be able to do. —Mr J. Hughes, captain of tbe 'Fairy,' and a resident at Menai Bridge, said he was in favour 01 the establishment, of a local board. The visitors who travelled by the Fairy' complained of the water on bOIflJ.- Tbo Inspector That i3 your fault io taking it in, Mr P. Lloyd Where is he to get it ? (laughter)— Tha Cannot h. get it at Llandudno.—Mr Hugh". I am a ludgiug buuse keeper, and my lodgers complain of tbe water. They have said that they would not come unlets we had a local board !—The Inspector Great faith iu a local bo ird Why didn't you tell them that there was a scheme for supplying the place with water?—Mr Thomas Hnghep, accountant, said he should not be favour of the smaller district.—Mr Eleaaer Williams aid be wished to see a local board formed. He should ba in favour of the e.!a9Iibr.nent if a local board even of the district were limited to the I village.—Mr Hugh Hughes said be had been a rate- payer ia Menai Bridge tor ten years. He thought a local board would hebt !.Danag" the affairs of the place. The authority had done nothing. He had called atten- tion to nuisances, but nothing had been done. Many visitors had been driven away when they saw the filth abaut the place. They had had to fetch water from a considerable ditance.Thd Iuspector: There is no doubt you want water and drainage.— \1r J. W. H said L, was uot there to say one word against the expediency of laying out a Bum of lOmey upon tbe parish, us it was clear that somebody or ether must ex- pand a sum of mousy. The question was-where sh,,¡;lù the b<)uc(hy be and upon whom should the rates fall ? Ho appeared there for farmers who saw that they would derive no beoefit from the drainsg9 scheme or tbo water supply. AU bis clients lived at a level which was above the place where the reservoir would be marl". The farmers win'd not derive any material i enelit, and asked not to be included in the diatrict.- The Rev. W. C. Edwards, rector oi the par sb, said he was the owner of the titbes. He ob- jected to the proposed boundary. He did not see that the outside position of the pariah would derive any benefit from the establishment of a local board.—Mr Henry Kobeits, farmer, said he was also opposed to the proposed district. The local board would not benefit the farmers. The i?pplimtion for a loan of X6000 to be usei for purpo'es d water and draica;e was then pro-I c.,d?,l with. The plans were ?ubitt?d by Mr Ma- guire, and the Inspector having intimated that he would report to the Local Government Hoard, the inquiry ended.

It was atatecl tbat a collection bad boo" made in town which realised abont £10, but that she had not reciived it, as one of her creditors re- tained the money aa part payment of a debt. The guardians remonstrated ou this, and the matter was left for further inquiry. Medical Officer for Abererch D-* -Dr. J.

j DEATH AND INTERMENT OF LIEUT. E. WATKIN WILLIAMS WYNN. Lalit week it was our painful duty to publish the death by drowning of Lieutenmt Edward VVatkin Williams Wjn-.i, of the Scots Gurds, aid eldest son of tbe late Colonel Wynu, of Cefn Hall, near St. Asaph. The deceased gentlernan was heir pr""HDptiv8 to Sir W. W. Wynn, Bart., M.P., of WyniHt^y. Tld gad accident occurred shortly sfter six o'clozk on Wedneslay evening, the 8th Wilt. The deceased with several olhovrs was engaged in a canoe race near tho weir stream at \Viuds..r. He had pr.tttou,iiy ebot the tumbling bay or weir between Romuey 1^1 and and Eton, nod was successful, but on attempting to do it a thiid time he Wi'S drawn uudertlie waier, and becoming exhausted was drowned. His body was afterward, recoveted, "d carried by four brother ofSo-rs to the Victoria Barracks. The distwiog news was at OnC6 telegraphed to 1.1.. Williams Wync., his mother, byway of St, Asaph, where it reached two hours th. occurrence. The postmaster considerately lost no time but a "uc took a c mveyauce and proceeded to Cefn Hall with the message. Mrs Wynn and her family were, of course, terribly shocked. How IUlIch so only those can tell who have experienced the lo,s, and that in a melancholy manner, of the eldest son of a house who waa dearly beloved by all its members. Oa Thurs. day morning iirs VVynn, accolDp.o!6.1 her second son, Mr H. Watkin Wiliiatns Wynn I Mr O. J. Wil. linns, Bodelwyd tan, started for Windsor via Rhyl by tb" earliest possible train. The inquest was helll oa the day aft»r the lament, able accident before Sir H. A. Marliti, coroaer for Windsor, at the Victoria Infantry Barracks. CMooel Moncrieff, the deceasei's cotmuimcit.g officer, was auiouz-t those preseut. Lieutenant Dawson Dialer, of the Seeiud D-.ttalion, Scots Guards, said the deceased was ao < Ecer of the tame regiment, and was 23 years of age. He was a relative of Mr Watkia Williams Wyau. On Wednea- [ day wituess went on the river, accompanied by tbe i Hon. A. JCeppell aud Mr Wyon. He and deceased were in canoes, and they went down the r.Ter to the Belief Ousley, and when they got to Windsor, witcis* and deceased bathed at the Eton mastery bathing placa at Romnev weir. After they had done bithiug be do. ceased proposed to shoot the weir, ivhicu the Hon, A, Keppell acquiesced iu,aud 'he iatt'.T and deceased went i>p the river for that purjr se. Witue'S g t into i the punt, which w-»s stationed near the bathing place, | to save taam if swamped. He remained in ti., puot with the wat-man for the purpose ot rendering assistance if nec-ss.iry. Mr Wyotl came and shot the weir tirst, doing it successfully. Mr Kepo-ll, f >! owing immediately afterwards, was swamped, but managed to clear himself ot the undercurrent and switn ashore. The deceased went uf) the river again and tried to shoot the weir a s;cn l time, but did not succ td They were eXlctly opposite the fourth or fifth pile, a sculling boat being ready to affo d aa-irat.ee. Lieutenaat Wyuu iI"t in th undercurrent, fell out of tha canoe, and was literally sucked under. Air Keppell was on the shore at tile time, and tbey had tuov -.l :he pun in the middle of tiie stream, opposite where th- deceased came through, and se-ing what bud h .p:;ened they endeavourel to save him, but the force cf tbe stream preveoted them getting to liiui iu time. Witness and two other" went Bud seatched down the river for the deceased, whom lie 8W struggling in the water for about a moment after hs was capsized, when he sad. deuiy disappeared. Witness went down thn river while Mr Keppell went to the barracks. The body was recovered iu about half au hour. Deceased was an excellent swimtdsr and avery strouc man. The water. aan had told them that Colonel Fletcher had doue it often, and that it was perfectly safe. Witness thought that there ought to be a chaiu Ill) at th.- (d ice, and there should be life buofs and ropes. At present there was uothitig of the kind. Second Lieutenant taa Hon. Arnold Keppell deposed that be accompanied the dEcAaaei and tbe first witness on the river. At the request of Lieutenant VV- tiu he weut up the river. Deceased went hrst, and witness waited to see if he was all right. Senmg by his paddle going to work agaio tbat Liiuteuan: Wynn hail passed over safelv, wituess followed, and was nose', narrowly escaping drowning. Witness WM paddling h seinoe aa rapidly as possible, and by that means shot further tban the deceased, who was little more thm drifting, lie swam ashore aud eaved himself without assistance. The deceased, pleased at his succses, decided to do it again against the advice of the witness. Lieutenant Wynn proceeded up the river again while wituess was chautfiog his clothes, and be saw him fltty yards off coming dewn towards the Weir. He immediately sent Mr Darner and the waterman into the punt, to be ready in ease of danzer, which seemei unlikely, as they had been told it w?s all riijbt. He told them there was no danger, as Colonel Fletcher hsd oft«n sbot the weir. When he saw deceased coming he oberve t what a die ulful thing it would be if he were drowned, but the waterman said there was not much chance of that. Wbeu shooting tho weir tbe second time l1ec.td came very slowly, the canoe floating sideways, much more so thM on the first time. He fell into the white water,' and immediately struck out manfully, but as the water offered no resistance, and was all4 bubbles,' his strength faiied him before th-1 puot could reach tbe so jt. De. ceased. while in the water, madu about a ,t, 7. n good strokes with his mouth shut. He waa struggling in tha river and bobbiig up and down for three qi:art.srs of a minute, and the last time be saw him was 1-vo yards from the shore. It would have besot imtiossr le to get a boat to him, and he (li l not think deceased c mid have seen a rope if it had been thrown to him. Mr Dawson- Darner exerted himself most pluckily to render assist* anee, and the watercuau, who was much di-oieart.ened, ,¡d was very sorrv for wbat bad happened, dii his best. Witness sent for the drags, an3, leaving Mr Uawion- Damer in charge, went for the colonel. John Maisey, an EtoD C.lei\" waterman, was also examined, but his evidence threw no ftesh light upon the occurrence. TaeCoroner i'l summingup observe! that the deceased and his brother officers, b-ing perfectly used tj the river, would probably pay little attention t, ttie opinion ef the waterman. It was, however, at tho same time, rather extraordinary that persons knovfiog the danger should risk their lives as in the case under inquiry. The jury returned a verdiot tbat the deceased was Accidentally drowned,' and recommended that chains bhould b. placed across the river to prevent any boats going oçer. and that arops should be kept ready for use at the spot. On Saturday last the body, of the deceased was con- veyed from Windsor to St. Asaph for interment in the family vault at Cefn. The mournful departure from Windsor was accompanied- by an imposing military ceretaoDy, the thoroughfares of the borough on tha way to the railway .t1tiou being lined with the men of the Scots Guards, with whom the young officer was a great favou-ite. The body, carried on the .hflulier3 of soma of the "oldic. wm preceded by a fidoŒ party. tho r.gi .,?.t b.?A ui the drums, f?f.?i of the b,?t: talion. The S'jrrowing mother, a youngar son, and daughter followed immediately after ths body, and all the officers oi the regiment also followed. In the rear of the mournful procession the ennpauy in which the deceased was an oQcer walked. When the Great Western station was reached the firing party approached the Queen's waiting room and opened out to allow the procession to paaa through. The Dead March iu4Saul was then played by the band, wh le the carri .ge con- taining the corpse was attached to the 9.45 aill. train wtst. The train slowly leaving the station, the firing party presented arms. The shops at Wiadaor were closed during the procession. THE INTMMENT AT CEFX. It was at first thought that the funeral would taka place on Tuesday, but an alteration was made ia the arrangements, the obsequies taking place on Mon. day. It was the wish of the family thai the last sad scene in connection with one whose future a few days. previously appeared ao happy should be af as private a. sbaracter as possible, but long before the appointed hour many of the tenantry of the estate snd numerous sympathising friends filled the churthyard. About half an hour after noon the cortege was observed to weud its way from Cefa hall. ()a its enteri.g the churchyard, heads were bo*ei in silent .everence, wllilft some choristers selected (rom Sr. Asa(,h Cathedral c ioir sang a s tit able hymn.
