The Chairman said the movement was unscctarian and non-poli- tical, and wouhl he hoped receive the en- couragement and support of the people of, Wrexham. He had therefore much pleasure in formally declaring the rooms open—(ap- i _pkuisc)— and hoped that they would he so successfully established as to encourage the i t '1 1 company to inaugurate similar houses in other parts uf the town.

Air tilstoii said the movement was not a chamab.e one, but a connnercial under- taking, and one good feature was that. the Company had had a number of copper cheeks struck which the charitably disposed t,lult1, purchase at Id each, and give to poor parous with the assurance that their alms would not Lie i-o:»ropjrly ust-d. •-•ir Robert Cunlilfc congratulated the com- pany upon the opening of the rooms,observing that similar mstitvitions iii Livcri)ool and else- where had and were stiil productive of much benefit to the community nt large. He was giad to hear oi the noji-pohtical and nn- sectarian character of the movement, which he hoped wouhl lead to the multiplication of such institutions in the town of Wrcxham. -guel l liii'titu4Lie-.Ilg it) the t.,)Wll of to the evils of intemperance. (Appiav.se). j I'r. iiliams was so. re the cocoa room would pi^i\ e an liicaleuhiVilo boon to workiiw-meii going to their labours in the early morniin;, when they could obtain a comfortable cup of coffee or tea without being subjected to the; temptation ot entering a pu blic-house. He wished the undertaking every possible sue- cess. Mr Osborne Alorgan, said it gave him 1 great pleasure to be present to inaugurate a. new era in the history of Wrexham. He thought they would be doing a vast amount of good by thus providing something to counter- act the grave evil of intemperance in Wrex- ham, and if they could show a counter attrac- tion to the gin-shop, and play oft' the "cup that cheers," against the cup that inebri- ates," they woulcl certainly do well. (Hear, i hear). He intended to patronize the institu- tion whenever lie came to Wrexham, and he had a douole interest in its success being a shareholder—and the largest shareholder—of; the company. (Laughter). He liked to ioin i a thing that succeeded, but the best dividend, the veot return he could receive for the money he had laid out, would be the consciousness that the men and women of Wrexham had a place to go to where they could get cheap and wholesome food and drink, without the temptation of becoming drunkards. (Cheers), Mr Evnns. Birkenhead, (son of the Chair-; man) gave an intesting account of the work- ing and progress of similar institutions in that town, observing that wherever they had been established, cocoa-rooms had, as a rille, been most succ -ssfnl as well as beneficial to the classes for whose accommodation they were chiefly set on foot, The Rev. Griffith Jones regretted the un- avoidable absence of the Vicar, who was c fer ready to take part in furthering any and every good work. (Hear, hear.) He was glad tol find thai the institution was neither political nor sectarian, and wished it every prosperity. The Rev. H. J. Ha tier, Congregational Minister, concurred with there-marks of the previous ,pcaker", and expressed his belief that many in Wrexham would live to bless the foundation of the institution. He believed the basis of the institution—that of a com- mercial undertaking—was a right one, as working-men l ightly demanded that their in- dependence should be recognised and re- spected. The Rev. J. H. Barker thoroughly sym- pathised with the objects of the promoters, and wished their efforts every success. Air W. H. Jones, Llwynonn, expressed his readiness at all times to support the move- ment all in ins power, for although they could net make men sober by Act of Parliament, I they might hope, by means of a counter in- ducement, to wean them from the pernicious influences of the public-house. Afr S. T. lhuSh pointed out that persons c-uld take their own viands to the cocoa rnoms and nmply got a cup of ten or coffee to drink with them, without onrchasing any eatables from the Company. Air J. M. Jones wished every success to the movement, which lie believed would be the fore-runner of many similar institutions in the town. The Mayor congratulated the promoters on the central position of the rooms, observing that he believed they had sti-ticli upon a note which he thought would sound melodiously ami would cheer the hearts of those for whceo benefit the institution had been established, He had been called upon to propose a cunlial vote of thanks to their worthy and respected chairman not only for his conduct in the chair i that evening, but for the warmth with which i he had. thrown himself into that movement, i for the future prosperity of which lie desired, on behalf of the town generally, to express the most earnest wishes. (Applause). Mr T. Bennion Acton had great pleasure in seconding the vote of thanks to the chairman who, he thought they would all admit, M as emphatically "the right man in the right place." (Hear, hear). With regaul to the present undertaking, he hoped and prayed! that it might be successful and th:tt the pro- moters might be abundantly rewarded. (Ap- plause). Air W. Thomas then put the resolution, which was carried unanimously, and the chair- man having briefly acknowledged the compli- ment, the proceedings terminated most of, the ladies and gentlemen subsequently partak- ing of refreshments on the premises before leaving.

WREXHAAI COUNTY COURT WEDNESDAY, AUGUST jth. Before Horatio Lloyd, Ksip, judge. JONi:s v. nor.KUTs. W illiam Jones sued Isaac Roberts (both oi Llangollen) to recover the sum of ;c5 17s (id, balancc of account alleged to be due. Air Sherratt appeared for the plaintiff and stated the facts as given ill the evidence. Mr John .Tones was for defendant. The plaintiff said he was a miller and 1Jnlttcr, doing hu?inc?s in a small way at Llangollen, and defendant h?d h'm hi the custom <? d<?Ii))? with him regularly for several years, fll February of the present year he instructed Messrs Min- shall and Parry Jones, solicitors, to apply to the defendant for the amount of his account, 17s which had been standing for some time. The consequence was that lie (phiintiil") and dc-ioiidant met, as there M as a sliguf dis- pute, and through the ledger oi the plaintiff The balance believed to bo a corrcct one was £ 35 17s. Messrs Aiinshali and Parry Jones again applied for immediate payment, and tiie result was that the witness received a mortgage for the sHi?of £ 50.—In auewer to Air .)?hn Joncs in cross-examination, witness admitted that when the account v? N'He through a mistake of £ 10 and another of i? was discovcix <1. Altogether these and other errors amounted to £ 18, making the account kt much Jos Hs against defendant. Mr Thonm Jones, managing clerk to Alessrs. Min.-hall and Barry Jones said he was in- I strueted to prepare the mortgage by tho defen- dant who asked for him to pay the balance in. Plaintiff admitted that lie had charge 1 for interest in the meiiey, but that ¡ wi?'-t!}'uI?te?nuhisbiiIhM.t?. Judgment I 1. -i't ?i- ?L f?t-thei'? 17s. JACKSON V. PA VIES, Vv lliiain -aekion, a cattle and pig dealer, of F:ur!ield, Bury, nc\l James Davics, of Over- ton. in the same business, for the sum of £ 50 damages f.-r iii j uries suffered through the defendant striking him on the fair day on the 18th of July last.—Mr John Jone? appeared for the p!ainti'F and Mr J. Al. Ktehes, of Ifol- ilit,? 111(1 .1. ?\1. of I Jones, a labourer, was the first witness called for the plaintiffs case. He said he recollected the fair day on the 18th July. He drove some pigs for the plaintiff to the cattle loading platform of the Wrexham, Mold, and Connah's Quay Railway. He took thirteen pigs from the iSmithlield, and on his way to the station called at the house of Air Suntcr, a milkman, and called for four more which the plaintiff had previously purchased and paid for. After this lie called i at the Seven Stars and took one little pig. Plaintiff did not follow him the whole distance to the trucks but stopped a little way on the Wrexham side of the Walnut Tree Hotel at Rhosddu. Witness got a truck and put the pigs in. By this time the defendant had arrived and was ilt the truck. He said "Have you any pigs here?" Witness said Yes, and the defendant said "Have you any that don t belong to you' Plaintifï sai,1 lie did not think he had. By this time lie was oat of the truck. Plaintitf then got into the animals and said Yes, here s one; it has my oven mark on it," upon which the defendant struck him a blow in the nose sufficient to fell an ox. "'—Jn answer to Air Etches, wit- ness said lie thought £ 50 was not too much re- compense for the injury to plaintiff's ntlSC- he Mould not have one like it for £ 100.— Plaintdl was then called, and said lie was at Wrexham fair on the 18th July. After stating that he was. not drunk, lie said he bought 13 pigs in the market from Alessrs Baugh and Jones' auction mart, four from Air Sunter and one from the Seven Stars. Defendant drove up and asked if witness had a pig of his. Witness said no. Defendant called him a thief and said, here is my pig," and struck him on the nose. To this day witness had not seen his pig, and was now short of one. He was knocked senseless and bled fearfully. He did not strike a blow first, neither had he a stick in his hand at all that day. In answer to his Honor, Air Ltehes said he contended that the blow was justified.—His Honor a died how he justified it.—Mr Etches said he M as prepared with evidence to prove that plaintiff struck the first blow. Witness continued that he intended to go to Alold that night but he could not, although he went to Bury by the half-past eight train. He was laid up completely for nine days. Had stock in his house which ought to have been realising proiit. Received injury to his nose. Was unable to go to Alold or attend markets to buy. 1 herefore lie asked for the (tillilltres claimed.—Kvau Francis, cattle dealer, of Mold, stated that the plaintiff M as not drunk. W itiles." met hm in the ,-dmit u hcre lie was having some meat, so he (witness) s glass" for him, which was all he had so he coulll not possi^ bly be drunk.—This was the er.se for the plaintiff, and Air Etches said lie ventured to assert that this was one of the most paltry cases that he had ever heard of. It W .is cle.ulj a case, he thiiugnt, the object of wiiieh was to extort money. On the part of the defence he should attempt to prove that the plaintiff had a stick in his hand and hit the defendant across the hand first.—Mr Davies was then called, and said tli,t ;it the course of the above related circumstances, the plaintiff struck him a blow through the rails of the track, upon which, getting rather warm, he just turned round and "bobbed" him on the nose, and thought no more of it.— John Davies, a young man of about si-Li(I that the row was likened unto two children righting on their way to school. (Laughter). He did not interfere, because lie thought both the men were big enough and able. (Laughter). —His Honor said he thought he had heard enough of the case, and asked Air Etches if he really thought the blow a justified one ?—Air Etches said he did, because supposing a man were to walk into his stable and take off his horse as the plaintiff would the pig, he thought the law laill down that reasonable preventative force was allowable.—His Honor said it -was so in certain cases, but not-in such as tliat.- Air Etches humbly submitted that the man in striking the blow only did so in self-defence. —His Honor mulcted him in damages, at with costs. A t CKIuUS CASE. Sonic two years ago it was alleged and ad- mitted by Air James Taylor that he slandered a certain" young lady, a barmaid, whose name was not referred to in the present instance. The consequence was that the law was put in motion to vindicate her character, but Taylor consented, on the advice of his solicitor, to apologise and pay the costs. The former lie actually did, the latter lie did not, and now Air Jno. Jones applied to his Honor to make which was accordingly done.—Taylor said lie should like his Honor to go into the particulars as it was an abomin- able shame. He handed in a letter to his Honor and said, Here's an instance, I had to pay 1286,1 for these two or three lines written by a clerk." V. ith this was added a sarcastic smile, but his Honor said he should not allow the defendant to make a joke of that kind. Let him remember that solicitors had to undergo a long period of expensive training to qualify them to write such a letter. He should decide that the registrar state by the next court what costs were fair, and then make the order formal. There were several other eases but of very little interest, and the Court rose shortly after six o'clock.

THE COMING PIIEJIIEK. The Shiewxbiir>t Chronicle says On Tuesday last Air Morgan Owen had the honour of an introduction to the Earl of Beaconstield and the Marquis of Salis- bury, on the occasion of his presenting an ad- dress, congratulating their lordships on their Glorious and historic deeds at the Congress of Berlin," on behalf of the Conservative Associa- tion of Rhyl.

On Thursdny morning, at one o'clock, he rose under the impression that he wished to turn a man out of the house. On his wife pointing out that there was no man there, lie knocked her down, and hacked her throat with a small penknife until she died. He then went to the police station, and having first thrown the knife down the grid, he informed a policeman that he came to surrender for murdering his wife. He was detained, and all officer sent to the house. There he found the M'ife in a pool of blood, and quite dead, on the bedroom floor. Prisoner was brought before the magistrates on Thursday morning, and formal evidence to this effect being given, he was remanded for a weelc.

The Mayor informed the Council that he had directed the scales in the two markets to he re- paired a.t a cost of 28s, and his action M'as ap- proved of. Air Alorris objected to bills being sent in so long after the work was done, as there were two, one of which was dated Alareh, ISïï, and the other May, 18ïl3. Tlte B<mwjth Accountant.—Air G. T. Smith reported that he had received i'217 7s 3d, and paid £ .}»> 18s 4d on account of the Borough Rate, and on account of the General District Rate he had received S100 and paid £213 lO.s 4d. He brought before the Council the fact that on a li1.te occasion the keeper of the Assembly Room had had difficulty in getting the keys from a man who had taken the hall, and the keeper ap- plied through Air Smith for duplicate keys. The request was not granted. The Bovonyh Surveyor presented his report. Certain things which had been ordered had been done and he presented plans for the new house for the reading room, and of five new houses for Air Wright, and three new houses for Air J. Barker, all at the Big Garden. All the plans were passed, and permission for making a street at the Big Garden. Complaints • had been made of the badly watered streets, and a letter was read from Mr Chapman on the subject after some discussion the matter was j deferred as the season was too far advanced. It I M as proposed to erect a standpipe at the lower part of Vale-street, but Mr Alorris deprecated takin the good water from the Water Company when it was so short: whereupon Dr. J. R. Hughes begged permission to state, as a fact, that there was an ample supply there being five million gallons of water now in the reservoir. MrMorris objected to Dr Hughes making those remarks he not being a member of the Council. Air 1). P. Jones applied for permission to erect a lock-up .shop 011 the space in front of the magi trates room. Air W. Alorris and All- John Davles advocated the permission, but Mr H" H.

Williams applied for permission-to make a tunnel under and a bridge over Broomhill-Iane, and it was agreed to by seven to two. The Medical Officer reported that there were no infectious diseases in the borough. There had been 7 births in the month, 5 males and 2 females, which was at the rate of 11.3 per 1,000. The deaths had been 15. all of which had been certified, that was at the rate of 17.1 per 1,000 per annum, which was very satisfactory. The Impcci-r of Jfttisaiires reported a few, but of no interest. Air D.

The Local Ooecvnuiettt Hoard wrote two letters in reference to the charges by Dr, Thome.—Air j John Lloyd proposed that they should be put in the waste paper basket, their time was too valuable to be taken up by such matters. (Laughter.)—Air R. H. Roberts and Air E. W. Gee moved that inasmuch as this council re- ceived no official intimation of the intention of the Local Government Board to send an inspec- tor to report upon the sanitary state of I the borough, and therefore had no opportunity of accompanying the inspector nor of offering evi- dence to him, they consider the information obtained to be unreliable, and the manner in M'hich it was obtained unreliable and unfair to them as the representatives of the ratepayers.— This was unanimously agreed to. Drain"—It was agreed to advertise for the first part of the sewage works. The tenders to be received by the 11th September, the adver- tisement to be inserted in eight papers, includ- ing the local papers, two insertions in each. Si,iith*ie!d.—Owing to the fact of the late owner of the land proposed to be taken for a Smithlield at Glas Aleadows having died without1 a will there was a great difficulty about the con- veyance, and it was at length agreed, after a long1 discussion, by four to three that the opinion of counsel be taken on the question. iMiral Oiffcer.—Tim subject Ma-; again ad- journed, the point being that the Local Govern- ment Board wanted the medical officer to send them returns annually, but this was objected to by the Town Council. Some other matters were discussed of 1:0 general interest. The discussions were most desultory, and the Council sat. for four hours. FLINT.

THE LATH Mn HCTCHVIELD.—In our obituary of last week was recorded the death of this gentleman,_ whic'h took place somewhat suddenly, r or some time -Air Hut-chfield had been ailing, but a day or two previous to his death he appeared to be better. The deceased was we'd knoM'n throughout the district, and for upwards of half a century took ail active part in public affairs. He was :m active politician, and for many years undertook the reversion of the i register of voters on behalf of the Lib.-rrds, and W?s nrst and foremost m de?ndin? their cau?e at all ded!m¡;; fo!' the county and boroii?h. ?' Ap-?rt from politic-, ?Ir HutchMd took an: Z-L(?tive loc.d ,i.!lan?, and for severe ye?rs sat as ?'urdian for the parish of Ho]ywel), a?d as well kllOWll not only ill Flintshire but in i other Counties as a l-Ssor of turnpike tdll". Ever active, the deceased gentleman was also an ex- perieneed agriculturist, and for many years acted as secretary to the Holywell Agricultural Society. Mr Hutchfield was also engaged in other com- mercial pursuits, and in all his dealings and transactions he was acknowledged by all parties to be the most honourable and upright. As a friend and neighbour lie was ever ready to assist those whom he considered were in need. The funeral took place on Saturday last, and in ac- cordance with the wishes of the decked was strictly private. SCHOOL BOARD.—The monthly meeting ° of this Board was held on Wednesday, and was attended by Mr Gratton (chairman), Mr lirittain (vice-chairman), and Air C, Ev:ns. The Clerk read a letter from Air Thos. Hii'dies expressing his inability to attend the meeting, and renewing his motion with respect to the school rules and regulations, which he would bring forward at the next meeting.—The govern- ment report was read after the examination of the Holywel! Board School. After specifying Certain Work required to be done in the building, the report stated that in the boys' school "a capi_ tal examination has been passed in the standard work. The grammar was extremely good, bordering upon excellent; the geography of the second and third standards was very fair, of the fourth, and fifth, standards only moderately i fair. Air Pierce is an honest worker and an able schoolmaster." In the report for the girls' and infants' school, Airs Pierce was also said to be "an honest worker and able schoolmistress." .A good examination was passed in the standard work in this school, The arithmetic was close upon excellent ior a girl's scuool. The grammar was very good indeed. The number of infants was only moderately fair, in other respects they were fair. The geography of the second standard was perhaps pretty good of the third standard, fair, of the fourth, fifth, and sixth standards lacking in intelligence and accuracy. Girls should be taught needlework instead of geography as a %'ass subjtc; The pupil teachers I.&I passed good examinations, and honor certificates were granted to two of the ,cliolars.-Tiie report on the Spring Gardens Infant School stated that "the me lIe work of the infants was good. The one song was well sung but the other was too boisterous. The reading of the first class was good, their tables and number" will need a little more care The work of the other classes v.'as about pretty good. The first standard was weak. Both order and physical exercises were good. Airs Parry is pleasant and kind with infants. This school is a promising one. "—It was decided to open the new Board Schools at Bagillt, on Monday, September 2nd, and that a public meeting should be held in the afternoon of that day, under the presidency of Air A. 0. Walker. The Duke of Westminster, K.G., Lord Alostvn, Lord Richard Grosvenor, J\I.P., Mr John Roberts, :J1.P., Sir Pyers Alostyn, Bart., Air Pennant, Alajor Conwy, Air Sankey, Air T. II.

RURAL SANITARY AUTHORITY, FmnAY. —Present—Air John Henry in the chair, Rev. I Walter Evans, Alessrs W. B. Buddicom, A. Eyton, Leigh Howell, J unes Reney, J. S. Williams. Northop Dr<tlu'«jc.—'The Clerk reported that! the deed and documents relating to the loan of e-,00 for the purpose of carrying out the Northop Sewage Works had been duly completed and despatched to the Public Works Loan Commis- sioners. A letter was also read from the Loan Commissioners stating that the money would be in the hands of the treasurer in a few days. A letter was read from the Local Govemment Board with reference to the application to borrow a further sum of £2,')0 for the purpose of completing the Northop Sewage Works, the original estimate of k:500 being insufficient for the purpose, in consequence of certain alterations in the scheme. The London Board wished to be informed of the reasons which rendered the alterations referred to necessary. The Clerk was directed to supply the information required. Bi«jiHt Connah's Qt'uit.—A letter was read from the Local Government Board w ith refer- enc-e to the sewerage of Bagillt and Connah's j Quay. The Board concurred with the Sanitary Authority in the opinion that the Rivers Pollti- tion Prevention Act, 1876, does not apply in the present instance, the river Dee into which it is proposed to discharge the sc\age heing a tidal river, and consequently not falling within the re- striction? nnd prohibitions of that Act, but in view of the objections which have been raised by the Chester Toum Council, the Board do not consider that the w. rks which have been pro- posed could .-afely be cairied out by the Sanitary Authority. With reference to the opinion of the Sanitary Authority that drainage M'orics at Connah's lnay should be provided by the in- habitants, the Local Government Board pointed out that under section 15 of the Public Health (?iit tliit it,?i(ler I.? of the 'L)ubl i c lj.(?a l t l i Act, 18/.i, the duty is hiipo-?d u?ou the Sanitary Authority of causing to be made Nuch sewers :vs may bo. necessary for effectually draining their: district for the purposes of the Act and this is a duty from which the Sanitary Authority cannot be relieved. The Clerk stated that he did not, see what further steps the Sanitary Authority could take ill the matter. The drainage schemes had ooeli carefully prepared, and had been fully I approved ..f by the Local Government Inspec- i tor, and were it not for the opposition of the Chester Town Council to the discharging of the sewage into the river Uee, oil the ground that it might affect the health of the Chester people, the drainage or the places named would have been completed long ere this. It now further appeared that the Sanitary Authority had a legal right to discharge the sewerage into the Dee, and without doing so it had been stated that Bagillt and Connah's Ouny could not be i drained. The Government Board recoui- mend notwithstanding, that owing to the oppo- i sition of the Chester Town Council the authority must find some other outlet for the sewerage than the Dee, although their own Inspector, when holding local inquiries at Bagillt and Connah's Quay, fully concurred with the (iraiii- i age plans which provided that the sewerage shoul.l run into the Dee. The members present •. concurred in the view of the ( Ilerk-I and lie Nvzls directed to refer back to the Local Government; Board, with the view of having theii' opinion in a more distinct and less ambiguous manner. | Jwf'iffi.—Air Adam Eyton proposed. '• That the resolution of the Authority with reference to the water supply of Rhewl Alostyn, parsed on the thhid ultimo, comprising a certain trea in the j parish of Whitford as also the various works and I coiii:-ri.;s',vithia the M'atcr district be rescinded." Air Eyton contended that it was unfair that the work-; and collieries should be included in the water district, inasmuch as tlic-y ha,1 already supplied themselves with water, and had there- fore no benefit to be (terivcd from the supposed water scheme. The Parochial Committee had gi vell the matter great attention and decided that the works referred to should not be within the rating area, and aho all the persons affected within the proposed district had fully agreed to it, an d he could not see what the Sanitary Authority hall to object to.—Air J. S. Williams seconded the proposition.—The Rev Waiter Evans proposed by way of amendment "That tne resolution referred to be not rescinded." He maintained that it was contrary to the principle of taxation to exclude from all area district the most profitable class of property. The very existence of tiie .works and collieries accounted for the people who were intended to be benefited. It was also contrary to the practice of the Local Government Board to approve of such small areas. Upon taking the sense of the meeting the feeling was strongly in favour of including the works and collieries, and the motion to exclude them was accordingly lost. Can-ici/— A letter was read from Alessrs Kelly and Keene stating that they were losing no time in acquiring the new site for the Caerwvs Reservoir. --Nlr T. S. Williams said that therj was a loud cry for water, and hoped that every measure would be taken to facilitate the supply, as Caerwys M'as now in a deplorable condition for the want of it. His attention had been called to the proposed sourcc of supply, iii(I a-i some doubt existed as to the adequacy of the supply, he proposed that the Sanitary Inspector be instructed to go over and forthwith go-age the same, which was agreed to. MohL—Attention was called to the incon- venience arising; from the absence of the Inspec- tor of the Alold district and' his reports, as they had no ready means of ascertaining what sani- tary measures were being carried out in various parts of the union. Ultimately, it was decided to apply to the Mold committee that the In- spector of the Alold district be requested to send in his fortnightly reports to the Sanitary Au- thority after they have been perused by the Mold Committee.

Il.lcpal Fishinjt.—William Bithell and .Tames Alinsfiall, fishermen, of Chester, were summoned by James Ai'Shea, M-ater bailiff,,for using a trammel net in prohibited boundary, and al" for fishing in prohibited hours. The complainant said that Sunday morning, the 28th July, at 2 45, he saw one of the defendants in a boat coming down the river, and the other on the bank, the two working a net. When they saw him, they got into the boat and moved for Chester where he followed them and accosted them. Thev had a wet net in the boat and Bithell offered him 10s to say nothing of it. For the first offence Bithell was fined 40s and costs, Aiinshali 10s and costs. For the second Bithell M'as fined 5s and costs, and Aiinshali M-as ordered to pay 3s 3d and costs.

Eflivard Jones, for being on the llJth of June, on the Wi-exlitiii aii(I Connah's Quay Railway, with a dog which he sent into afield where he caught a hare.

He was ordered to pay 10s Od damage and costs. School Offcna-g.—William Speed was summoned by Air H.

He was ordered to pay 2s costs in each cas", and to send the children to sellool.-E(I%vard AV, ei,,Il, for not sending his son J Stephen, was ordered to pay 2s.—Alary Edwards for not sending her child Joseph was ordered to pay 2s.—George Brookes, for not sending Alary Hannah and Anne, to pay 2s in each case.— Rohert Lamb, for not sending his son Peter was ordered to pay 2s. Mistaken Kindness.—Patrick Chas. Cavanagh M-as in custody charged with stealing a heifer, theproperty of James Selvedge, of the Dee Ferry toll-house. Airs Selvedge said that on the pre- vious Tuesday the prisoner came to her house and asked for a drink of water, which she gave him. He enquired the way to Hoylake, and she told him when he left. She had a heifer grazing on the road side, M'hich s he saw just before the prisoner came. A few minutes after the prisoner left, Air Alou^dale called and asked her if they had sold the heifer. She said no, and went along with Air Alousdalc in.the trap after the prisoner. They came up with him driving the heifer before him" ahout a mile from her house. They asked him where he was taking the heifer, and he said he was driving it for a gentleman. They brought the prisoner and heifer to the Queen's Ferry, where they gave him in charge to P.C. Pearson. Mr Alousdale corroborated the evidence of Airs Selvellge. P.C. Pearson said that the prisoner M'as given in charge to him, and on the way to the station said that a bullock came over the hedge to the heifer and he was afraid it would hurt her, so lie took the heifer away. The prisoner was sent to gaol for three months. HOPE AND CAERGWRLE. HOPE CHURCH.—The collections to-morrow (Sunday) at this Church will be given to the Choir, as a little encouragement for their services. The service.s on the occasion will be choral. TEA P.,urrr.- Th Sunday scholars attending j the Welsh Independent Chapel had their annual tea. meeting on Alonday. After their wants had been supplid by their teachers with tea and cake, they adjourned to the field adjoining the chapel, when an sorts of games were provided for them, and for which they must feel grateful to their teachers and friends. THUNDERSTORM.— PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.— This neighbourhood was visited by a heavy thunderstorm on Tuesday afternoon. The lightning, which wa" very vivid, struck a chimney at Hope Hall, and proceeding downwards finished its course by entering the earth. The wife of the Rev. Robert Roberts had a narrow escape, for she had only moved from the spot where the lightning genetrated a few seconds be- fore, and was standing a short distance away. The house of Air Collins, Hope, was also struck, the lightning shattering part of the woodwork and slates of the ro d. A tree at Hope School was stripped of the bark from top to bottom. The rain was very heavy. HOPE SCHOOL BOARD.—At a meeting of the Board on Thursday, there were present Air Wilcock, chairman; Air Jones, vice-chairman; Air Bellis. and Mr Roberts; Air J. Oswell Bury, clerk.—Enquiry was made as to whether any report had been received from the Education Department as to the examination of Llanfynyild School, which took place on the 5th June ? The Clerk replied that no report had as yet been received and he was instructed to write to the department respecting the matter.—Air Francis having reported the very irregular attendance of the children, it was resolved that at the re-opening of the schools resolute steps should be taken to compel regular attendance, and that proceedings should be taken in the M'orst ctse.Tlicre was no other public business before the Board. ODDPELLOMS CLUII. On Friday week, the Holly Bush Lodge of the Grand United Order of Oddfellows held its anniversary at the Half Way House, Caergwrle. The members as- sembled as usual in their regalia about 12 o'clock, and headed by the Penyfford Band, proceeded to Hope Church, where divine service was held, in excellent sermon preached by the Rev. J.. Rowland, rector. Afterwards they returned to their Lodge, and sat down to a sumptuous repast, which was laid out for them in a laige tent on the green, by Air and Airs Graham, with their usual ability, and to which ample justice M as done. Subsequently dancing M'as indulged in by a large number, who seemed to enjoy them- selves thoroughly.—The Foresters, who hold their lodge meetings at the Bridge Inn, do not intend walking in procession this year, so we must bid farewell to the clubs for the present, with their usual accompaniment of shooting galleries, nut stalls, and other paraphernalia. OSWESTRY. Conx HARVEST.—It is to be hoped we shall have fine weatlier for the next fortnight or three Meeks. All around it is very evident the harvest is about to be got in. In ninny rae it is cut and in all others it is ready. Although the crops are not particularly good, still with some fine M'eather we shall get in a pretty fair average crop. SCHOOL TREAT.—On Thursday the children from the Selattyn and Pantglas Schools together with the Sunday School Scholars had their annual treat at Brogyntyn, being entertained each year by the liberality of the worthy owner, Lord Harlech. About three o'clock th° scholars arranged themselves in procession at Panfghis, headed by the 15th Rifle Volunteer Band and thence marched to Brogyntny, where shortiv afterwards in a large tent erected in front of the Hall they were entertained to a first-rate tea. After tea, sports and dancing were indulged in and numerous presents were given -Lway, each person, besides, having a bun to go away With. Lord and Lady Harlech and family did every- thing they possibly could to help the enjoymcnt of all present* £ Before leaving, the children's?,n- (I 1.

He of c(')'Illl.?c ;1,1-1 that too heavily, for when he rose from his stony bed he was a poorer but, more likely, wiser man, for his coin, notes, and all had gone. STATE OF TUADE.—For -ome time past trades- lIlCII have been grumbling dreadfully about the bad state of trade, and of an afternoon only a few weeks ago you could have fired a mitrailleuse down ('liurch-street without doing any harm, so to speak, the streets were so empty. The last week or S", we are glad to say, appears to show a revival, and trade seems t) be waking up. j Commercials don't wear such horrid facts, and now their barrows .re not the only tilings, in the streets, but people are busy shopping. HORSE SAI.E.— On W( dnosday Ale-sis Pugh, Stokes, and Owen held their 111 nthiy hor-v side, now becoming so popular.. Among the best of tilo.se offered for sale was eart male belonging to Alr.Alanford, Aliddlcton, and an iron grev cob to Thomas, Beech House, illlcs- mere. Mr I'nddock had a good cob mare for sale, and Air John AL Thomas, Kynaston, had a four-year-old iron grey. THE Coxsi'Mi'iioN- OF TXT<K VXTS •,Y TUE WoHKHoisE— Atthe vreklv meeting of the In- cor](oration, on Alonday, the Clerk read a letter he had a. 1 dressed to Dr Blaikie, the medical officer, on this subject, pointing out the increase in the cost of wines and spirits used in the Ionise; it had increased from 1:;J as follows :-fii that year it was tl4 10 t)d in 1*74. V.15 I i-i 1S75. £ 18 17 (id; in 2.1; in 1S77, £ 38 K-s 7d and in the first ouarter of 1877 it was at the rate of £ 13 Is 8d for tiie year.—Dr I Blaikie,_ in reply, wrote to explain that the j necessities of the ca-*e had broTight aboi/t the increase. The place had become almost exolu- sivelv a large hospital of aged and infirm persons, • and an extensive use was required, or lie would have to resort to Liebig, and other like '•xnc-nsive j remedies, which would cost considerably more j than the pres.'lit system. He al>o ^.inku.mt the i yrcat iaciease in the M'ork couiie-.i. d. v,ith his otiiee in tl)e house, and the enhanced c,t of drugs, &e., and remarked that it would not be out of place if the directors would consider the amount of salary paid him.—The master (Air i Fiddler) said he could bear what the Doctor had written, They had had a-s m.nv as seven 1 1. f 1 1. and eight cases of phthisis at .-ne time.— T lie Chai_ rman thought it was Weil that attention-had been called to tne matter, find at the same time | was of opinion that the Doctors explanation must be accepted as quite satisfactory. In this the whole Board concurred.—The Clerk reaiaik- tel that the whole of the salaries would be revi-ed during the year, and then the Doctor' appliea- tiou would be c following were i appointed iu "bc place of retiring directors :— Alessrs J. P. Hamer, Llanyblodwei, R. Owen, Selattyn, and Air J.

Besides these, Air Saviii has a fine collection of eoin", many of M-hicli some time ago he lent t" the British Mu- sexiiii. Some of them date long before Christ, and hi? s old Roman eoii? are of ?Te?.t antiquity and value. Among his Spanish coins :we some splendid pieces resembling our 5s. piece. Among 1; so many, we may say more tli--ili ft thousand, it is useless trying to catalogue or particularise them, suffice it to say that those visitors who take a delight in these antiquarian relics will greatly revel in this splendid collection. There is one great novelty we must mention, lent to | Air Savin by Mr Roberts, veterinary surgeon, Salop-road, and that is the stuffed head of a calf taken from a cow by Air Roberts some time ago. It has two perfect heads, three eyes only, and is a really M-onderful phenomenon. Another head also is on view, the head of the old goat who I used to be very pugilistic at the Wynnstay Hotel in this town. Air Savin deserves the thanks of the committee for getting together such a valua- ble collection, and not only, that, but taking such great responsibility upon himself by the carriage of these good s to such a distance, VOLUNTEER FETE.—The annual fete in aid of the funds of the loth S.R.V. was held on Alon- day in Brogvnton Park. Although there was heavy thuuder rain at early morning, the weather, on the whole, was very favourable throughout the day, and the park and grounds presented n, charming and llwt attracti re appearance, the visitors thoroughly enjoying themselves. There were, of course, such indispensable adjuncts as archery, football, quoits, skittles, rifle shooting, Punch and Judy, "Aunt Sally," &c. Amongst the special features may be enumerated the as- sault at arms of Alessrs Bassinglrhite and Wal- ters from the Oxford Gjnnnasium, in which they gave exhibitions of broad sword combats, feat" I of swordsmanship, Single stick, cudgel playing, quarter staff, &c. Professor Tyler, from the Crystal Palace, went through his marvellous con- juring feats, and the Ethiopian Minstrels, aid the "Awkward Squad" exerted themselves sue- cessfully to amuse their large and motley audience. Nor were Eugenie on the horizontal bar and flying ring", and Clyma, the French Clown, without their admirers. A great at- i traction not specially announced in o the pro- gramme, was a full dress rehearsal'' by the members of Captain Arkwri?ht's troop of. the Shropshire Yeomanry, who have en- i tered for the tilting at Shrewsbury next week. The troopers, who were one and all very well mounted, went through tne movements with great skill. Throughout the afternoon the band of the corps played for dancing, and in the evening a quadrille band played for that purpose on the bowling-green, for the admission to which an extra charge was made. In the course of the afternoon also a variety of sports were organised, and some valuable prizes were offered, resulting in good contests. The amusements were brought to a conclusion at nine o clock by what would doubt- less have been a very grand and extensive dis- lJlay of fireworks, but for some time previously unmistakable s igns of an approaching storm were apparent, and soon the vivid flashes of the lightning and the roar of the thunder quickly cast into the shade the brave efforts of Air Felloe, and caused something very like a stampede. Before the company dispersed the members of the corps assembled in front of the hall and gave three hearty cheers for Lord and Lady Harlech and family. COUNTY POLICE COURT.—Before Captain A. C. Arkwright and T. Longuevillc, Esq. Theft from a Paiil)ci,Cliarles Davies was charged with having stolen i)s, the property of William Rogers, a pauper at the Union at Alorda. From the evidence of prosecutor, Air Fulcher, and several others, it ajipeared that both prosecutor and prisoner are inmate paupers I of the Oswestry Workhouse; that on Saturday prosecutor was possessed of lis in silver, besides other coppers, and that on the evening of that day lie bought a bag to put hi.s money in from prisoner, for which he gave him a threepenny- bit. Prosecutor then put the contents in his pocket, taking them out when he went to bed, and putting them under his bolster. Prisoner, among others-, slept in the same room. During the evening of Saturday, or early on Sunday morning, he had an epileptic fit, of usual occur- rence with the prosecutor, and in the morning, upon recovery, he found his money gone and it was alleged that prisoner took it, for upon Air ulcher, the Master of the House, hearing of the robbery, or rather the losing of the money, he caused the prisoner to be brought into his pri- vate room, though at that time having no sus- picion of him whatever. In the room where prisoner M-as brought M ere, besides Air Fulcher, the porter and the prosecutor and upon being asked if he had any money about him he said, No, not a farthing." A further question as to whether he had heard prosecutor had lost any money, he s:ud, YVs, I've heard the poor fel- low has lost something." Being asked whether he knew prosecutor had had a fit in the ni dit previously jn bed, he said, Tes, he had a iit;" but upon being rsked whether lie assisted him in it, he said, "Xn, I'm afraid of him," And as Air Fulcher intended to have all of them searched, lie asked prisoner had lie any objection to bciug" searched, but no i-ell ly was fortheimiiii". The porter then searched, and frOlll somewhere in his linderlmen the bag with the money in it fell out, wluc'i wa; immediately identified by the pro-ccutor. Asking prisoner where he got 'f I 1 ¡, 't 'I It from, he said, "it is my brother's money-" but Air iulciier asking him how could that be when it was well known 1Je came into the a month ago without a fraction, that he had never obtained leave of absence, that no letters had been received, nor had any one visited him prisoner .sub sanl it was his brother's money; ] I t 1 I' t J but when told tnat the matter would be placed in the hands oi tne t-hee, said, if you wish to know the truth, I pic lied it up in the yard, .v • About twenty minutes after bos prisoner absconded, but was appre- hended by ]■ohce-c instable Cole, in Knockin, Who, asking Ins name, said it was Uenrge Davies, and not ( h irles Davies, and that he had b- en an inmate of tie Union, but it was not good enough" for him.
