I '7 1 ■Mr !?. lll-^liis reputed that he 11:111 to r;tl! | sp!'i:i.'i attention to cases Ni). 11 and i2 in his re";ort I bonk, parties mentioned therein had failed to comply with the requirements of the notice. He wished ior instructions as to further pivcee tings. Certain c.isi-s of .-e.i.rlet fever had come to his know- ledge, .iid he had visited the several e?scs from time t?t!me, and used and supplied di?infect?)'?, and otherwise attended to the SIli 'Lr%- ie, lit-; of the Siiiee Iii-; last report, 14 biases had been supplied with water-closet accommodafc-ijn, ill lieu of common priv ies. In explanation of his report, Mr Hi??ins stated that N?. 11 case in his report boo": was a '.?tsauce on pro?rtv belonging to the Mayor. The Mayor said he situ ply leaded the property, and had nothing to d > with the removal of tp., nuisance. It w:t< ultimately decided to allow the matter to stand over. Tin- io.^ptetor further stated that N,>, 12 case was a nuisance in Aiic ck's Court, Mount-street, caused by there being no outlet for the sewage f,)H1 the 1:ou, tilt re. He laid received a letter from Mr I iavK1. out that twocast s ct" fever had recently occurred in Allcocb-s i Court, and the uai-ance was a "t,mding danger to the health of the neighbourhood. In reply to a (piestion, the Inspector sid hcdid not know who gave authority for the sewer outlet to be stopped uj). Mr Hugh Davies was surveyor v. hen the work was done. The present nuisance, however, would be a disgrace to any place in the kingdom. The Inspector was ultimately authorized to take the necessary steps to secure an abatement 0: the nuisance. THE LIGHTING <2nESTI0N" AST THE PUBLIC LAJ'I'.S. T A letter was read from Mr YV. tatokes, renybryn, asking the Town Clerk to draw the attention of the Lighting Committee to Mary Ann Square which required a new lamp put up, and also to the dangerous condition of the street paving. The Borough Surveyor said as far as the paving of the street was concerned that would be done in due course, but with regard to the application for a new lamp, that he presumed would be referred to the Lighting Co-, .uitt<*> \n liury said the matter ought to be seen tn i o as it was impossible to see the .steps leading from the high-level footpath. "r !»• I y i ■> i i Air lucnaru Jones sant sonetune n-i had brought this matter before the Committee, and he thought himself tli". leally they ought to "look upon these dark places." He had been going along that place at i,i -riit himself. People there paid rates the same as other people even if they did-pay them in the rent. He should move that the Committee have a lamp put at the far end of the court. Whether the lamp should he at the expense of the owner of the property and the payment out of the public rate waj another ipiesti >11, but he thought the people were entitled to il,t%-e a lamp as the place at present was absolutely dangerous. j illr W. Pierce concurred in Mr Richard .Jones's remarks. The Chairman Is this a recommendation to the Lighting Committee? The Town Cleric Xo, I take it as a direct motion and recommendation to the Council. There is no i Lighting Committee in existence at present. ilr Benjamin Owen thought a Inmp was needed in the front of Mary Ann Square. The Chairman said he did not. think it was com- petent for them to light private areas of this kind. Mr Benjamin Owen They pay rates, and rate- payers ought to have their rights. The Chairman The s.unj argument was ;;vd in reference to a large property belonging to Mr (. oun- cillor Ingham some time ago, and I think he concurred in the view that all we could do out of tlie public funds was to ligitt the approach to the property leaving the internal arrangements to be lighted up by the owners themselves. The Town Clerk said he did not think that was quite in accordance with the advice I:e had given upon the subject. He believed it was quite competent for them to light places for the ratepayers in any place which, under the Public Health Act, constituted a "street," which was a very broad definition. The Mayor That is a very serious precedent to establish, but if that is so I shall call upon you to put a lamp opposite my property in Salop Koad, where there is no light whatever, if yon do it for one, you must do it for .-tiiotlier. The Chairman JY.st so. The Mayor: You must light the Grove Park, i then. The Chairman I think there is an unanswerable argument in favor of lighting Grove ParK on the same principle. If it is a question of there being rate- payers there, there are very large ratepayers there. There's a private road there also, and I think we are debarred fioii lighting these places on the ground that it was a private road. I say the moral and material interests of the borough are interested in having Grove Park lighted at night—especially the moral. Mr li. Jones said he thought they had every right to utilise the money collected from the people in giving them what was right back again. If they had the right to demand the rate from them, then he said that morally, practically, and common sense they had the right to give them the light. He didn't care where it was Thu Chairman said that was an argument that could be refuted as easily as spreading butter on bread. Money was obtained from the ratepayers in dividually for the public good, They were part of the community, and, as part of the community, derived the benefit of the drainage, lighting, road making, and the various public improvements that were carried out. The Council studied the interests of the general community and not of one individual. (Hear, hear.) When it came to a question of draining and lighting private pioperty, then he thought they ought to stop, because the public had a very limited user of such property. What right, for instance, had he to go into the square in question unless upon some private | business ? His only visit, as a public individual, 1 must be of a private character there. If they spent II public money upon private property because these private individuals had contributed to amass that public money together, they might fritter it all away without spending any of it on public works, such as drainage, lighting, road-making, or what not. He maintained that the argument advanced was like bucket full of holes in the bottom-it wouldn't hold I water (Applause ) Aid. Bury said he should vote for a lamp being p-tt in Mary Aim Square if they had the right to put it. Mr F. Jones: 1 vote for a lamp being put over the entry. Mr B. Owen thought if Mr llichard .Tones would alter his motion and put the lamp outside, it would meet the wishes of the owner of the property all the same. On a division the voting W.VJ For—Alderman Bury, Councillors B. Owen, H. Jones, W. Pierce, and David Jones. Against—The Chairman, the Mayor, Councillors Ingham, Samuel, and F. Jones. The Chairman: 1 give the casting vote most heartily against tie resolution upon public grounds. I should have applied at once, otherwise, for two lamps for Grove Park. Mr Ingham I should have also done so. Mr R. Jones I maintain that we have every right to give people what they pay for. Whether we. by doing so, enlarge the expenses in connection with the borough or not, I like to do what is right. The Chairman You may as well ask us to light in- side their houses as inside their yards. (Hear, hear.) Mr lv. Jones I should like the Town Clerk to look the matter np. The Town Clerk I will do so. The Chairman, however, has given his casting vote against the motion, which is therefore lost. The T-nvn Clerk next read a ietter from Mr Palin asking for a lamp to be placed between Smithfield and Derby roads, stating that there was 110 lamp whatever between the points mentioned. The Mayor 1 think we ought L have a Watch and Lighting Committee. Mr David Jones I think we ought to have the electric light down that end, Mr Chairiiiai ter.) The Chairman: I wont sit upon a little committee again—the attendances are not put dsivn (Renewed laughter.) Alderman Williams No they are not put down. How many members of the East Ward are present ? Mr David J,)jios I think we should inspect each ward, for the nights are very dark. The Chairman moved that Mr Palin's letter be re- ferred to the Borough Surveyor to report upon at the next Council Meeting. Alderman Williams seconded the proposition, which was carried unanimously. Mr W. E. Samuel Why not refer it to the Light- ing Committee ? The Chairman There no Lighting Committee. Mr Samuel There used to be one. Alderman Williams Pet haps in your time, hut there isn't now. The Chairman \V have Lad one occasionally. Mr David Jones: But it went out! (Laughter.) Mr Ingham next offered tj pay for the gas if a lamp pillar and fittings were put opposite his property in Meifod 1 érmce. Mr Alderman Williams moved that a lamp pilisr be ) supplied oi these conditions. The I own Clerk-aid if it was right for the Council to put the lamp it was right i,* pay ix-r the "as j Ihe iKtiniiiiii ts. I do*; t- fike li:ili an.! half measures. j The Town Clerk: Both cannot be right. It is | either right to find the ligh* ricrl fittiie/s, <>r H is j not. Mr Ingham Well, I propo-e u» ;>av for lUe liftings »s well. The Town Clerk I think Mr Ingham i.- gciun-- ous in tlie matter. He pays for a good deal oi )--o- perty al ready, and if he is entitled t > both ::a-' >nd lamp, I don't see why he should not have them. Alderman Williams I don't think if a member of this Board is sufficiently geneious to give us anything that we should refuse it. The Town Clerk, at this point, laid upon the table j the report, of the i'oat-d of Trade Committee, on die I ,h{,tometri.. -:t.:II"¡:lnL, with the result; of the enquiry r as to the measurement of illuminating power by sperm ) (randies compared with 4)tiiec P'1)1),iztiiees.

Ill" Surveyor sai l in reference to the application of Air Wilcrck, of the Three Tuns Inn, for a short piece of fcotp ith in the Beast Market, he had visited the place and found the approach to the property in a very defective c mditio:}, and as the approach to the chaiK-1 was included in the application, he recom- m mled that a footpath, tiled, kerbed, and channelled he constructed -it a cost of about £ 25. Xo resolution was arrived at. A 'Ti: FOR ST. MARK'S. The surveyor reported that he had prepared two sketches of a gate for St. Mark's Church, which he submitted to tne meeting, and asked for instructions tlwreoll. He: had prepared t.vo sketches, one simply showing how the old .ate could he replaced at a small cost, and another for a new and more pretentious gate which would cost £7 or t-S. The Chairman said that inasmuch as the old gate was available, he moved that it he replaced for the present. They understood that the operations of the railway company would affect that part of the churchyard, and should such be the case it would be a_ pity to nut up a nice gate to !;e done away with 1 directly. If they put the old gate there for the pre- sent to prevent trespass, and if after all the railway company did not interfere with that part of the road, it would be competent for the Church authorities to apply to the Council to put up a better gate, (ile a-, ( hear.) S yowled hy Air Walter Jones. Mr liiciiard Jones said it was a question to be coil- sid'red as to whom the gate belonged. | Chairman Oh, I di)ii't tiiiiilz anyone .voiiIJ ki_ck up a row about a bit of old iron Air R.

Aidertnan Williams rose upon public grounds to call attention to the condition of the road leading from the town to the n nv cemetery. Tne footpath j and channelling were in a disgraceful state, an,1 he thought if any gentlemao woui I take the trouble to walk in that direction, they would be inclined to fully endorse his remarks. He therefore bp?ed to move that the Borough Surveyor be re'i iested ??re,?.? the matter to either the n-xt meeting of the<'o'T??H or General Ptiri)c),L, I "-I- Sec 'n?cd by Mr Walter Jones, and ?t-eed to.

'I ne Surveyor seated that he had ■ i-iced and in- spected Dt Williams" land belo w the Dunks, with the view of ascertaining whether the- town sewage could be brought into this land by gravitation, and found that about 2S acres of it could be so irrigated. The Toivn Clerk said he had ascertained that Dr. j Williams was willing to let his land at the Dunks, and it was resolved o.i the motion of Air F. Jones, s see uded by Mr Walter Jonc?, that the Council be recommended to take the I?ad for twel ve months, with the option of ? lease for ten year or more on terms to be submitted to the next meeting of the Council. In view of the forthcoming alteration it was pro- posed that Mr Henry Dennis be appointed consulting .-ianit,try engineer on behalf of the Corporation, but on the Town Clerk intimating that he believed Mr Dennis would decline to act in that capacity, Mr W. H. Glennie was appointed. PROPOSED JOINT FEVER HOSPITAL. The Town Clerk announced that it had been ar- ].

Mr Alderman Williams (rising) T beg to see.)rid- The Mayor I have seconded. Alderman Williams But I rise to second it 1 do object, and will object, and I say that if a member remains in his seat while speaking to a question he ought to give precedence to those who rise in order, and I beg to second the motion for the acceptance of the tender of Mr Hughes, who has done a lot of work for the Corporation and has done it satisfactorily. (Hear, hear.) I say again that if a member calmly sits in his chair and says. I have seconded"- (laughter)-I think the man who rises in order should have precedence The Mayor I leave it to the Chairman. The Chairman Well, gentlemen, it's been moved and seconded that Mr Thomas Hughes's tender be accepted. Please signify in the usual way ? Carried. NO "DAY AND MARTIN IN THE BOROUGH. I- I A communication was received trom the Local Government Board stating that, with the view of giving effect to the provisions of the Alkali, &c.. Works Regulation Act, ISqI, they were desirous of ascertaining the number of work-, in the several I sanitary districts in England and Wales which would he affecteil by the Act, and the aùdresses of the pro- i prietors or managers of such works. The Town Clerk said this would not affect Wrex- ham, in connection with which there were no works of the character referred to. The Chairman I think the only" real Day and Alartin works are those -.utsi?e the borough (Laughter.) THE CLERK OF THE WORKS, Mr L. It. Heywood, produced and read his report as t,) the progress of the new streets since the last meet- ing. The Alayor said when the deputation from the new railway promoters were before the Council they requested that the new streets might not be proceeded with at present as a great deal of unnecessary expense would lie saved by the works being stopped. He wished to know if anything had been done with a view to stopping the work ? The Surveyor As far as I am concerned nothing at all has been done. I Alderman Williams I presume they are waitingan order from this Board, Air Mayor. The Town Clerk explained that the Council were in I a difficult position owiiig to the contracts entered into with various parties, notably with Air William Jones, Island Green. Personally he could not help thinking it a pity that any great expense should be incurred upon the road called St. Mark's-street, and he thought it wo.ild be well if Air William Jones were approached with a view of stopping the work at present in ord to see what progress is made with the railway bill before tariiament. (Hear, hear.) The Chairman suggested that the matter should be left in the hands of tLe Alayor and Town Clerk to make an amicable arrangement between the con- tractors, Afr William J:mes, and ah parties con- < cerned. Air David Jones proposed this in the form of a resolution, which was seconded by Air W. Pierce, and agreed to. The Alayor We were told by the deputation the other day that they would re.?h-? all Mr William Jones's 1>Nperty, Th?nwhy build wa'I? only to be lz:?k:ked iiii?vn hear.)

The tit't; was a meeting of the bnnday School Union of these counties, held at i.20 and pre- sided ov-r by th- llsv. 1). Oliver, of Holywell. Ihere was g. long discussion the form cf an examina- tion, decided to be held annually, of the schools, and theCHWxtion was howit should beoond^ -ucted. Some .vere for e written and others were for an oral examination, and It was resolved at last to refer the question to a i sub- committer consisting of the Kevs O. A nomas, B.A., Holywell; and H. Elvet Lewis Buckley; I st- 1 Messrs. A. W. Edwards, Wrexham and Jones, ot lthos, the committe to ropo't • a future i -Electing of the Union. The next busir»3ss was the election of a secretat-y in piace of tire ltev. D. B. Hooke, who was leaving the locality. The Rev. O. Thomas proposed that the resignation be accepted, and that the best thanks of the I ni^ on should he awarded Mr Hooke, for the very efficient servi_ ces rendered by him during his secretariat, with an expression of regret at h'-S leaving. This was seconded by Mr W. G. llees, of Bagillt, and agreed to unanimously, The Rev. H. J. Haifer then proposed that the Rev. H. E. Lewis, of Buckley sho???d be elected "ecrcbry ia the place of Mr Hooke, which was seconded by Mr Hooke and agreed to. There was ;tl?o a discussion ahou a ""des of dissolving views to be exhibited in January throughout the district, and arrangements were made for meetings to be held in the several schools. Tne meeting then constituted itself into a union district; meeting, Mr A. W. Edwards, Wrexham, in the chair. Mr T. A. Waterhouse, secretary for Flintshire, lead replies from the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone and Mr J. Roberts, M. R., thanking the lJuiull for its vote of acknowledgment to them for their efforts in passing the Sunday Closing Act for I Wales. The first thing set down for discussion was the proposed Congregational Jubilee fund. which was introduced by the Rev. D. B. Hooke, viio said the Union was founded just half a century ago in a small room in London, and at its fifth anniversary the magnificent Free Tra-le Hall in Manchester was too small to hold it. They knew that it had been pro- posed to have a jubilee fund, for the purpose of clear- ing away the debt which rested on their chapels, and to help the smaller and poorer churches to increase the stipend of their pastors so that a minimum of at least 1:150 a year would be secured, About kSO,000 had already been promised, and they hoped in the five years during which it was suggested that the pay- ments should be made that the fund should reach £ 250,000, while some sanguine individuals had set their hearts on so hig-h a sum as half a million. He suggested that branch funds should be instituted in all the churches, and their churches and congregations thoroughly enlightened as to its objects, so that the matter should he made a success. The Rev. H. J. Haffer spoke to the same effect, and it was agreed to take np the suggestion thrown out by Mr Hooke.— Lt<>tarcs on Nowmjornuty was the next.subject for discussion, it appearing that the Rev. J. Thomas, D.D., of Liverpool, had promised to deliver a series of Lectures on the subject early in the new year, and arrangements were made as to time and place, the congregations being advised to make such small charges as would cover the expense. There was a loner discussion about evangelistic services, which was intiodueed bv the Rev. D. B. Hooke, wllO said that be obtained from an organisa- tion in London. Mr Rogers, of the Moss, spoke (.f the beneficial effects of a Mission held there and at Wheatsheaf, ami Ml" Waterhouse proposed that the meeting should recom- mend the churches to couiuiuideate with the London organisation with a vLw of sen-ling some of its agents down. B,tt a leL', of difference of opinion was manifested on the subject. The Rev. 0. Thomas said that he deplored the low spiri uil state of the churches as much any one, but he was afraid that the course which had been suggested led tiie people to think that religion was sensationalism, and that it could be obtained to order merely by sending to a wholesale tinn in London, instead 01 teaching their members to look for all blessings and success to tlie Almighty, This view generally prevailed, and a resolution was arrived at calling the attention of the churches to the low state of spiritual i-eti iort tin-iii-, them, and recom- i mending them to take some steps which would shake off their lethargy. In the evening a farewell service was held, which was presided over by the Rev. A. Francis, of Rhyl, i who called upon the Rev. H. J. Haffer, of Wrexham, who spoke upon the duty of self-abegnation in the service of Christ.—The Rev. 0. Thomas spoke of the loss which would accrue to the district owing to the departure, and wished him God speed in his new sphere of lal).). He spoke of Mr Hooke's services as j all organiser, a capacity which would serve him in good stead in the future.—The Rev. Roger Edwards spoke of Mr Hooke's qualities as a worker woo might wear out but would never rust out. His removal would be a loss to M ,1-1, seeing he had b-eii so active in everv good work in every circle of usefulness. — Mr John Griffiths, of the Tinplatc Works, then delivered an address on behalf of the church, and concluded by presenting to hi'n in the name of the church a beauti- ful timepiece, with an appropriate inscription, j —Mr R. M. Davies also rea,d a short ad- dress accompanying a presentation, consisting, of a necklace and locket, to Mrs Hooke. Mr Davies enumerated the services rendered by Mrs Hooka to the church during her sixteen years con- nection with it, extolling her service as organist, choir mistress, and teacher, together with very useful and energetic services in connection with bazaars, Christ- mas trees, Good Teinplary, &e. The Rev. D. B. Hooke then acknowledged the kindness shown to him j on all hands. He wished he could live his ministerial life over again, for he could see that he had com- mitted many mistakes, but he was ?lad that he had endeavoured to do his duty, and he was not !cR\m? a sinning cnurcn, but one winch was gaming ground. He said that had he considered his pocket only he would have left long ago, but his conscience told him that it was his duty to stay and he had done so, and ended by thanking the church and all his friends for the kindness shown him. The meeting was subse- quently addressed by the llevds. J. Roberts, R. Jones, &c. CEFN AND MIOSYMEDRE. INQUEST.—On Monday morning an inquest was held at Cefn Bychan before Mr H. Humphreys, deputy coroner, and a jury of whom Mr Win. Jones was fore- man, on the body of a woman named Margaret Horton, aged 40, who died on the 11th inst. It ap- peared the deceased was in the act of kneeling to clean the floor of her house when she fell suddenly forward and expired.

THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND TEMPERANCE SOCIETY. —The Oswestry Branch of the Church of England Temperance Society last evening gave a very in- teresting entertainment in the National School-room. The only room-the central room—which was avail- able for the audience, was densely crowded, pretty nearly an equal number of people being, we under- stand, turned away from the doors for want of room, The first put of the programme consi,tell of readings and music. The second was a happy innovation upon previous entertainment, and was due, we believe, to the initiative of Mr H. Gough. The representation was highly appreciated, the only misfortune being that the architectural arrangements of the eilifice did not permit of all the school being utilized for the benefit of the audience. SUDDEN DEATH IN ARTHUR STREET.-Oti Thurs- day evening an inquest was held at the Five Bells Inn, Willow-street, before Mr W Aylmer Lewis, coroner, and a respectable jury, of whom Mr Thomas Roberts, Cambrian House, was foreman, upon the body of Ann Edwards, who was the wife of Thomas Edwards, slater, Willow-street.

Morgan, assistant mistress at the Ilhos girl's s sent in her resignation which was regard to the service of the School Board suniui-uises, the Clerk said he had been informed that the police had recei fed instrnctions from the Chief Cor. ;table not to serve School Board summonses in any ca e. and it was suggested that the Attendance Officer hould serve them.—Mr Pritchard said he would much rather someone else serve them.-The Chairman s. id the police did not want to serve them. Governm .:t was averse to that course. The Home Secretary, • >ir W. Harcourt, had indicated that he was very much averse, and he appjared to be imbue i with the idea that school delinquencies ought not to be considered criminal offences. There was r strong feeling at the School Board Conference that t ley (lid not want these actions to have a criminal complexion, and he confessed, that he was himself very much of the same opinion.— After soma discussion it was resolved, on the motion of the Rev. W. Foulkes, seconded by Mr Doxey, that the Clerk write to the Chief Constable as to the circular calling upon police constables not to serve School Board summonses, and asking for an explanation; and if no satisfactory answer be obtained, to apply next to the Magistrates' Clerk, and ultimately, if need he, to the Home Otfice. —It was resolved to issue a precept on the overseers for £;00 to cover the expenses for the ensuing half- year.—It was decided to advertise for tenders for the erection of three teachers' residences, and that appli- cation he made to the Loan Commissioners for an ad- vance of £ 1000.—A letter was read from the E Inca. tion Department acknowledging a communication from the Clerk announcing the election of Mr W. C. Hughes, Fennant, as a member of the Board, in the room of the late Mr S. R. Bishop, deceased.— The Rev. W. Foulkes moved that the teachers from each school should be requested to supply the Clerk with the amount of arrears of fees, amount of fees received, and the number of those who failed to stand the ex- amination on account of not having made their attendances up.—This was agreed to, and the signing of SdVeral cheques in payment of accounts concluded the business.

P It FjS K NT AT ION TO THE RPV. J. S. RAYMOND. M.A., AT WYNNSTAY. On Friday evening week a grand concert was given in the large dining room at Wynnstay, when the ilev. J. S. Raymond, M.A., was the recipient of an address and souvenir by Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, Bart., M. P., from the Wynnstay chapel congregation, on the occasion of his leaving the Wynnstay chaplaincy. During his stay of nearly three years, Mr li lymond has laboured most arduously as chaplain, and hisefforts have been attended with abundant success. He leaves with the best wishes of all, while among the poor, to whom he was exceedingly kind, in his administration, both temporarily and spiritually, he will be much missed. The souvenit, consisted of a handsome pair of silver candlesticks a splendid silver inkstand and silver pen tray, together with a beautiful blotting case, silver mounted, with monogram in silver. The address, which was in a gilt frame, was ch istelv executed by Messrs Waterloo and Sons, London, and bore the crests of Wynnstay and the Welsh Gritfin. Tile large dining room was filled to its utmost capacity, Sir Watkin presiding. Amongst those present were La ly Williams Wynn, Miss Williams Wynn, Miss M. Nesta Williams Wynn, Miss Ann >ra Wiidams Wynn, and Miss Constance Williams \Vynn, Wynn- stay Mr Owen Sianey Wynne, Plas Newydd Col. Mostyn, Royal Welsh Fusileers The Rev. Ll. Grif- fiths, -lr8 Griffiths, and the Misses Griffiths, Pen-y- nant; the Rev. J. S. Raymond, M.A. Miss Cocks, Wynnstay Miss Brancker, Erhistock Hall Mrs EI wards and Miss Edwards, The Vicarage; Miss Forshaw, Ruabon Mr J. F. E lisbury and Aliss Edislmry, Wrexii-iiii the Rev. J. Jones, curate of Ruabon, and Mrs Jones, Mr P. Middteton, Mr Lewis, Mrs Simpson and family, &c., &c. The proceedings commenced with a pianoforte .solo What are the Wild Waves Saying," by Miss Siiup- snn, which was executed most effectively. This was followed by a duet, violin and concertina, Capt. De Laidi," by Messrs Porter and Deer, which was well received. Miss Mary Nesta Williams Wynn next "an, Home, Sweet Home," with great pathos and sweetness, and received a nu-ist emphatic encore. Miss Edisbury, accompanied by Air E lisbui-y, played a 'iolin ?olo, "Blue HUs of Scotland, with much a dolin solo, WHii?ms Wynn rendered Robing Return," in really excellent style. This young lady is a great favorite as a singer, and was enthusiastically encored. She then sang In the Gloaming." A du"t A. B. C. was next sung by Miss Annie Roberts and Mr Owen Roberts, which they did well. The Wynnstay choir next give two glees "Before all Lands" and When the Rosy Morn," which did them much credit. Sir Watkin rose and said Ladies and gentlemen,— I have now, on behalf of you all, to present Mr Ray- mond with these gifts. I regret to say that after a stay of little more than two and a half years among us, he has decided to leave us, and he will I trust be as useful in his new sphere as he has been with us here. With his kind words and good deeds, he has done much to win the hearts of the people. (Cheers.) I may say that I have found him very ready to do anything I have requested of him he has laboured with a will for the good of those around in anyway whatever, and has been most anxious to carry out my desires. I am sure no one will contradiet me vneu I say that he has been most successful as chaplain, and has ex- ecuted his duties with efficiency. (Applause.) Lady Williams Wynn, nor any of us here, have had anything to do with the getting up of this testimonial. It has arisen purely from the members of the congregation worshipping at Wynnstay Chapel, and no one outside i has been permitted t) contribute. I can only add that if those not connected with the congregation had been allowed to contribute I believe the testimonial I would have been enormously increased. (Applause.) Mr P. Middleton then read the address as follows :— To the Ro), J, S, lhtymflw], Chaplain to Sir H'atlcin Williall! Wynn, Eart., Jf.P,. Wyn¡¡stay, We, the undersigned, members of the Wynnstay Chapel congregation take this opportunity—the occasion of your leaving us, which we all most sincerely regret—to express our high admiration of your urbanity, voitr sympathetic honorable, and sound principles; your daily kind solicitude ior our best interests, your cheerful readiness at all times, by your inM ience and example, to further every good work to a successful issue. We sincerely trust that all your future ministrations may be as full, crowneil with success and as fully appreciated as your present one, and we abo trust that your kind, genial, and happy presence may long be spared to be a blessing and comfort to all around you. Be assured that you leave us with the best sentiments which loving hearts and affectionate esteem can offer you. Here followed 160 signatures, including those of Sir Watkin and Lady Williams Wynn, Miss Williams Wynn, Miss M. Nesta Williams Wynn and Colonel Mostyn. The Rev. J. S. Raymond in response said :—Sir Watkin, Ladies, and Gentlemen-I am quite unable to thank you at all, as I could wish, for your kindness this evening. Now, although I believe it is usual on such an occasion as this for the fortunate recipient to ex- press his entire surprise at the unexpected nature of the proceedings, it would he ridiculous for me to lire- tend ignorance of the great h"nor and compliment you have assembled this evening to show me. But I can truly say that until this moment I had no idea what shape your kind expressions of regard would take. Certainly no idea that it would become so magnificent, nor had I, until the list was put into my hand a little while ago, any notion that it would be so large an one. To your very kind expressions of re- gard, and for your most handsome, most beauti- ful souvenir, I can only say with all my heart, I thank you very much indeed. And al- though as I look back over the two years and eight months I have passed here, the results compared with my opportunities seem so very small. Yet it is a great source of satisfaction to me to reflect that as far as I know nothing has ever disturbed the harmonv and good feeling which has existed between us. From one and all. from the highest to the lowest, I have ever received the greatest consideration and kindness. And in bidding adieu, as I now do, to so many friends, perhaps for ever, it is a great comfort and pleasure to me to think that in the long list of names and in the most beautiful presents you have given me, I carry with me an enduring token—only too valuable—>f your goodwill and esteem. Wherever I am I can never forget your kindness. It makes good-bye "— i a sad word at all times—still harder. Before I sit down I should like to add one thing, and that is, that I am glad of this opportunity to express my sense oi what I owe to the valuable assistance I have ever re- ceived in my work from Miss Forshaw and Mrs Lewis. l'o the former all the poor of the place owe a debt of gratitude they cannot in any measure repay, and the I', t I lflli' I, high stand ard of efficiency an 1 foremost position am in tIJJ .scnooj.s in the !lioce:-e maintained h Miss '.Vil- jham; Wynn s school, sufficiently testifies to the nn- tiring en'r?y ?nd ability of Mrs Lqwi?. For mv?If 1 ?ave to thank them both for the reate5t a?isttuce kindness air; courtesy throughout my stay here. And i now I will not longer detain yen—only let me in wish- you good-bye again thank you each, one and all tor your very great kindness and your most present this evening. (Applause.) Mr Owen S. Wynne said he desired to add COlilí of praise to that already been given, fe.' ad ?.ay. foui.-d Mr H.v.?.?? m?.t sy??.tL..?; 1' j 4 ciati:e, and k,?L a¿l i?. had ever been faithful to th.,? in trouble in? in sorrow.

Sir Watkin saiil he had had a I_L. letter handed to him. stating that AIISS nooerts was • the daughter of a collier, and that she was possessed of musical talent, and it was desired that her case i should he brought before the people of this neighhour" hood. Miss Williams Wynn again appeared and sang Bend of the Ri ver," with much sweetness, and re- mark ably clear enunciation. After the Wynnstay ■ choir had given a glee "The Days of long ago," which they sang very prettily, Mr Middleton proposed a hearty vote of thanks to Miss Williams Wynn and Miss Xesb Williams Wynn j both of '.vhoui had t?ken ?re?t interest in the nature ? of the proceedings that evening. They had b?en I ddBIïnin-o'} to bke part in the arran?emo'.?. H:d much of the sne?- that h?d attended that ev?ntn?'.s entertainment was owing to them. (Cheers.) Then j they owe I a debt of gratitude to Lady Williams j Wynn the excellent taste she had shown in slect- irig the presents. (Applause.) rr Raymond would not appreciate the beautiful array of articles so mlletl as the excellent feeling that accompanied them. His services were not only appreciated inside Wynnstay Park, hut hy a large number outside. (Hear, hear.) ilc had been an active member of the Ruabon Work- ing Men's Association and Literary Institute, and had been an excellent subscriber. He had also been first and foremost in forming the D bating Society at Ruabon, had frequently entered vigorously into debate, and had done much to stimulate and encourage the members, lie had also been hon. treasurer to the Horticultural and Industrial Society of Ruabon, and had produced the largest balance since the foi-mation of the society. His valuable services would be greatly missed. Everyone learned with sincere regret of his departure, and the cry they heard was. We'l, I am very, very sorry lie is a thorough gentleman, and we all like him." They all agreed with Sir Watkin, that he had been most successful as chaplain, and his inflnence and work had tended to raise the moral tone of the establishment, though it was by no means low. Thev all nwerIlt deep debt of gratitude to Sir Watkin for the services held in the chapel, which were characterised with the greatest simplicity, and to the worthy baronet, for the excellent example he set them at all times. In such a large establishment there was it tll t i itie. I;i ,ucli 'L lar?, a Lue vadety of religious ideas and opinions, but so 'hat all cou l d i I simple were the services that all could join har- moniously in them. (Applause.) He then placed the motion before tiie meeting, and it was carried with acclamation, after which Colonel Mostyn proposed a vote of thanks to their gallant chairman, who had presided in a very able way, over what he might term a most successful even- ing's entertainment. (Cheers.) The Rev. J. Jones, curate of Ruabon, in seconding the motion said that Sir Watkin was always ready I, and willing with his kind and good heart to help every good cause in the locality. Their best thanks were due to the worthy baronet for allowing them to as- semble together on such a pleasing occasion—for a pleasing occasion they must all admit it to be. He was very glad of the opportunity of publicly thanking Mr Raymond for the kindness he had received at his hands. (Applause.) The Rev, J. S. Raymond in reply said La lies and geiitleinuii-if you will allow me for one moment. I do not like to let the kind remarks which have just been made pass quite un-noticed. I can only thank Mr Owen Wynne, Mr Jones, and Mr Middleton most sincerely for all their kind expressions, and I can assure them that I alll not insensible to the debt of gratitude I owe them. I have to thank Mr Jones for his ever ready sympathy and co-operation, Mid I have to thank Air Owen XVyii, e aiid Air Mi liiletu'l j for kindness and assistance in every possible way during the past three years. I have not said anything j of what I owe to Sir Watkin and her Ladyship's kindness—partly because i think you all know in some measure how great that has heen— and also because I feel that my words, never very fluent, come less readily than ever Oil such an occa ion as this. If I do not thank them it is because f can- not, and not hI cause I am unmindful or unapprecia- tive of their great consideration and greatest kittdn&?s during my ,tLy here. Morning, noon, and night—I am ashamed to say -1 have pretty well lived here, and L do indeed thank them, and all at Wynnstay, for their goodness in putting up with me, so much and so long. And now I have only to thank you all aain and again to wish you good-bve." The proceedings terminated by the audience singing God Save the Queen, led by Miss Williams Wynn, Miss Cocks, of Wynnstay, accompanied the "'arious performers on the pianoforte during the evening, with much taste and skiM. Mr Raymond's successor is the Rev. Mr Tute, from St. Andrew's, Well-street, London, who commences duties at Wynnstay to-morrow (Sunday.)

NORTH AND SOUTH BUCKLEY COLLIERY.—Owing to the managers of the several collieries in this district recently giving an advance of wages to their employes, the manager of the above mentioned works has this week agreed to give an ad vance to the workmen con- nected Arith his colliery. DESTRUCTION OF A RICKYARD BY FIRK.—Late on • Friday week the contents of the cornyard at Peny- bryn farm, about a mile from Rhyl, was discovered to be on tire, and was utterly destroyed. The Hhy! Fii" Brigade prevented the fire from extending to the farm buildings. Damage amounting to about £ 700 was caused, which was fully covered by insurance. Ad- joining the yard there was a field of uncut wheat. Hundr-ds of people flocked to the place, the fire being • witnessed from almost all parts of the Vale of < 'hvyd. j The cause of the tire is a mystery. THE LIVERPOOL WATER SCHEME.—The Liverpool Corporation workmen at Llanrhaiadr-yn-Mochnant have commenced levelling the ground and laying down a line of rails, to enable them to unload the iron pipes which are brought by road from Llanyblodwcll station. Each pipe averages a weight of four tons, The part of the work now being Executed is that of laying down pipes to join others which have been laid between the tunnel and Penybontfawr. The men are busily engaged erecting offices and stables. The in- habitants of Llanrhaiadr-yn-Mochnant are reaping a harvest, and with the prospect of a railway between Oswestry and Llangynog, they believe that go:id times are com ing. The site of the policeman's house and station has been selected, and thus a great want is in a fair way of being supplied. A USEFUL BOOK.—We have received a. copy of The Railway and Commercial Gazetteer of England, Scotland, and Wales," the publishers of which are Messrs McCorquodale & Co', Limited, 55, Cardington- street, Hampstead-road, N. W. The volume, which is well printed and easy of reference, an,1 for this its ninth edition has been remodelled and enlarged from 470 pp. to 570 pp., contains a complete list, arranged in alphabetic.il order, of every town, village, parish, and place in Great Britain—over 36,000—and indicates directly the distance from London to each, including j the most obscure hamlet, showing also the post ofifces, mjney order offices, telegraph offices, wherever they exist-, in addition to the line of railway, locality, nearest station, distance from station, with through rate routes. The price is 8s 6d, and this work should be on every business table. PEACK MOVEMENT IN FRANCE.—A meeting was held in Paris on Wednesday evening, under the auspices of the International Arbitration and Peace Association, for the purpose of considering the ques- tion of forming an association for the promotion of arbitration and peace, similar to that recently i established for Great Britain and Ireland. The latter has undertaken the task of endeavouring to set on foot an association for this purpose in each European nation, with a view to the union of the whole in a common federation. M. Paul Casiinir Pcrier, deputy for the Seine Infcrieure, presided, and a considerable number of well-known men connected with literature, philanthropy and public affairs took part in the con- ference, the subject of which was brought before them by Mr Hodgson Pratt, chairman of the Executive Committee of the British society. The proceedings terminated with the appointment of a committee to consider and report upon the best means of reali-ing the project of the Association for Great Britain and Ireland. THE MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE CORPORATION, LI.IIITEI).ritis company which was established in 1 1870, advertise in oic columns this week. It appears to be a sound concern, and has on its London Bonrd of directors the Hon. F. S. A. Hanburv-Tracv M.P., in addition to a numbsr of gentlemen of ,,01\11.1 :.hilitv and who know their business thoroughly and well. This corporation presents to insurers advantages which1 it will be well for the public to consider. They issue bonus policies entitling owners to have them renewed every sixth year free of charge, providing no losses have been paid under them during the five previous years. These policies are charged the usual premium* and being in the non-members class are absolutely free of any liability. Reductions are made to a very considerable extent where fire-extinguishing appliances are kept and explosions from domestic boilers and heating apparatus are insured, a feature which it is believed to be peculiar to this office. MESSRS. PROCTOR AND RYLAXD'S ROOT PHIZES. The annual competition for the premiums offered by Messrs. Proctor and Ryland for the best crops of swede turnips and mangold wurtzel, with their prepared bone manure only, have recently taken place, Mr G. H.

MR BRIGHT'S 70TH BIRTHDAY. On Thursday, the 70th biithday of Mr Bright I was celebrated with great enthusiasm at Rochdale, bunting was displayed on every hand, and there were triumphal arches in various parts of the principal thoroughfares. In the afternoon a depu- tation from Mr Bright's Birmingham constituents dined with him at his residence, One Ash, and there presented him with an address in which they referred with pride to his long connection with II their borough, and promised him unabated confidence and support during the remainder of his iife. Later in the day Mr Bright's workpeople presented him with another ad- dress, conveying their deep respect and affec- tion for him, and referring in terms of heartfelt gratulation to his many services to his country. Mr Bright gmphically compared the present con- dition of the working classes with their past, ) descanted upon the benefits of education, and de- i scribed the Education Act as one of the most blessed improvements of modern times. At the evening meeting in the Town Hall, Mi Bright's reception was wildly enthusiastic. He was pre- sented with a handsomely-illuminated address. In reply, Mr Bright confined his observations principally to free trade and the benefits it has conferred on the working classes, and showed that, even with an increase of ten millions of population since 1840, hours had been shorter, wages higher, employment steadier, and the general condition of the people vastly better. On the land question, he said unless means were taken to stimulate the production of the soil by the increased capital and skill put into it. there was no remedy whatsoever for the farmers' suffering and distress, but a great and permanent reduction of the landlords' rents. There were torchlight pro- cessions, bonfires, and fireworks at night.

I ROBBERY í F £ 40.000 FROM A L ,'NDON POST OFFICE. A most daring and impudent robbery was committed on Wednesday evening, at the branch post office in Hatton Garden, London. About five o'clock, as one of the officials was making up the country mails in two bags, one comprising the ordinary mail and the other containing registered letters, some of which in- cluded jewellery and diamonds to a very considerable sum, the gas in the building was suddenly turned off at the meter, plunging the place into total darkness. In the confusion ami commotion which ensued among the assistants and customers in the office, a man pushed his way to where the bags, ready made up, were I hanging on their customary hooks, awaiting the arrival of the mail cart which conveys them to the General Postoffice, and seizing the bags rushed out of the building before anyone had a suspicion of his purpose. When it was found out what had happened it was too late to make any effort t,) catch the thief, who was enabled to get clear away, The utmost consternation was nec?sioned by the theft aui?n? the Po?t-t.fnee em- p!oyb, as it was known that the lettpr which had been registered during the day contained money, jewelit-ry, and other valuables to the extent of many thousands of pounds. It has been estimated that the amount contained in the stolen letters was as much as £ 40,000, but it is impossible to give accurate figures until certain inquiries already set on foot have been completed. Inspector Peel, who has charge of the case, states that no clue to any persons implicated has yet been obtained. It is believtd the losses will in- clude some tens of thousands of pounds worth of rough and polished diamonds and other valuables. The gas meter being in the basement, and not as at first stated, in the back premises, could have been reached by some one not intimately acquainted with the office. The mail contained 40 registered letters. Upon making inquiries this (Friday) morning, the j Press A ssociation representative was informed by the police authorities that up to now they had been un- able to find a clue to the persons who were engaged in committing the above robbery. The cool mode in which the matter was planned and carried out has I been the means of completely baffling the police up to the present, but it is hoped a capture may be made by tracing stolen property.
