THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. )
THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. ) WREXHAM. I The interest manifested in this event culminated on I Thursday, when, at 4 p.m., numbers of persons as. j eembled in the vicinity of the various polling stations anxiously awaiting the issue of the contests in the several wards. There was little or no excitenent during the early part cf the day, but towards the afternoon conjecture ran high as to the probable cbances of the respective candidates, the actual result in each instance being prophetically anticipated by a I large majority Of those who expressed their opinions on the subjects. The walls were posted with large placards informing the public of the right candidate to vote for, having regard to the interests of the rate- payers generally, pud so forth, whilst the usual per- sonal solicitations on the part of frienda of the can- didates, insinuatingly suggesting to the waylaid elector that "of course lie'c vote for so-and-so," were also rifa. The jailing stations weie for the North Ward, at the Savings Bank, Regent. street, where the Mayor (Mr Alderman Y. Strachan) officiated as presiding ciffcer for the South Ward, at No. 4, Temple Row, presiding officer, Mr Alder- man E. Smith for the East Ward, at the National Schools, Beast Market, presiding officer Mr Alderman J. Oswell Bury for the West Ward, at the Guild- hall, presiding officer Mr Alderman John Williams. The poll opened at 9 a.m., and immediately after in- close at four o'clock the voted were counted, the results, which were declared about half-past four, being as under NORTH WARD.

Richard Jones ItN Thomas Parry 95 "Iajority. 65 On the results being made known, the successful candi- dates were greeted with the customary congratulations accompanied by the usual confident assertions of speculative individuals of I told you so I knew he'd get in!" &c. Considerable excitement pre- vailed for the first half-hour or so after the declaration of the poll, the successful candidate for the East Ward being borne triumphantly on the shoulders of his friends for some distance along Charles-street. With reference to the North Ward contest, it is rumored that a number of spoiled votes were given to each of the candidates, the result of which is said to be probably a petition, and we understand that notices to that effect have already been served upon the returning oSicer of the ward and al-o upon the successful candidate. DENBIGH. I i nere were tnree polling places, two in the Town Hall and one at Heiillan. Tne Mayor, Mr Harrison Jones, presided in the Council Chamber, and the Town Clerk, Mr Parry-Jones, jun., in the Police Court, while Mr Alderman E. 1'. Jones presided at Henllan. The contest was conducted very quietly throughout. The Mayor declared the state of the poll I soon after six o'clock, as follows David Davies 445 R. A. Duties. 378 JohnHoyd 377 Robert llarrv 355 These four are returned. T. W. Bowdage 208 Alfred Ashford 29 All the old members are thus returned. I FLINT. I Ine poll closed at four o'clock when the counting commenced. About six o'clock large crowds of .pe.,t)I &e collected in front of the Town Hall. The I state of the poll was given out by Mr Alfred Dyson I about seven o'clock as follows Robt. Jones 447 Thos. Parry 4;jõ Isaac P. Davies, 250 Samuel T. Edwards, 210 Jo*. Hughes 1!3 Robert. W. Bowen l!JlI Robt. Williams 172 William J. Gibson .51 As the succesful candidates made their appearance they were heartily cheered, and carried shoulder high by their admirers, and the excitement in Church- street was very great. The result of the election places two of the old members, viz., Messrs. Robt. Jones and J. P. Davies, and two new ones, Messrs T. Parry and D. T. Edwards in the Council. I liUTHIN. I "» T T* « 8_ jar tiugnes withdraw his candidature on the day after his nomination, and Mr Byford, as he promised, withdrew also; thus the four retiring candidates were left to a clear field, and tbeyweaccordinglydeclated duly elected. They were Mr Ewd. Roberts, solicitor, (the present Mayor), Mr J ohn J ones, draper, Mr T. P. lloberts, auction- eer, and Mr Hugh Jones, farmer. Thus the Council is complete without the turmoil of a contest. Two aldermen will retire by rotation on the 9th inst., Mr John Jenkins and Mr Edward Edwards. The Mavor by almost common consent will be either Mr John I Jones, draper, or Mr W. Osbert Edwards, solicitor. OSWESTRY. I Tile unexpected very often happens, and it is never wise to be a prophet—unless *t know. In the East Ward, in consequence of the legal difficulty, Mr Morry was disqualified and there was no contest. In the West Ward the five gentle- men who had been for some time before the burgesses went to the poll with the result that Mr England, who sought re-election, was left in the cold as well as Mr Howard. Mr England was considered a strong candidate. Three years ago lie was at the head of the poll; so secure indeed did his seat appear, that very few doubted his return. The reverse of this was the case of Mr Howard and the result proved that the general opinion was a correct one. We believe Mr Howard made no great efforts to get returned. Being a shrewd man of business, very likely his object was gained in having his name before the electors some weeks if not months before the 1st of November. Mr Hodgson, late borough surveyor, was at the head of the poll with, considering the numbers who did record their votes a very large majority. Air Hodgson and his friends worked hard, while on the part of Mr T. P. Parry, no efforts were made whatever having before-hand stated clearly in his address that be would not canvass. Mr Whitfield, the other successful candidate, did however make personal efforts by holding meetings in various parts of the ward, and explaining several matters referred to by Mr Hodgson in his speeches. This certainly was necensary, for whether intended or not on the part of Mr Hodgson, se veral things stated by that gentleman were, to say the least of them, misleading, unless more details were entered into than figures given in round numbers. This blank Mr Whitfield triumphantly tilled in, and we are pleased to write that again he is returned to the Council, and that is services will not be lost to the town. On the whole the result of the contest is satisfactory, and that while we have a feeling of regret that one old servant of the town should be turned out, still good men and true have this time been the choice of the burgesses. lhe elections over, the next question asked is who is to be Mayor. If Mr Weaver, the present Mayor, will not again serve the town, then Mr Whitfield should be the chosen of the Council, being one of the oldest members who have not passed the chair.

CHESTER WINTER ASSIZES.I
CHESTER WINTER ASSIZES. I The following local cases have been heard at these I Assizes AN UNNATURAL OFFEXCE. I John Hadley, alias Gallier, 23 years of ize, a collier, was indicted for having-committed an un- natural offence at Greeford, on the ISth September. He was found guilty of the attempt, and sentenced to lb months imprisonment with hard Inf.™ ALLEGED ATTEMPTED NUIRDEII-BY A FATHER. I ltobert Jones, 31 years of age, labourer, who was committed for trial charged with having attempted to murder his infant daughter, Ellen Agnes Jones, bv beating her head against a telegraph post, and after- wards throwing her into the canal at Chester, the grand jury ignoœd the Mil for attempted murder* but ,found a true bill for common assauh. The prisoner I was acquitted. DEFKAUDIKG LLANGOLLEN HIGHWAY BOARD. I o..mes Jones, 57 years of age, quarryman, was charged with having conspired to defraud the Llan. gollen nighway board. Mr Clement Higgins was for the defeiiee.Nlr Hizgins said that in the year 1881, the Llangollen Highway Board took over certain highways which had been previously in the hands of a trust and in a bad state of repair. The board opened a quarry, in the vicinity of which there was a tram- way to be used for the conveyance of stone. In the prisoner entered into a contract with the Hihway Board to quarry, break, and carry stone for the repair of the roads. A man named Richard Jones was in the employment of the High- way Board, his duty being to enter in a book the quantity of stone which was put down upon the roads by the prisoner. In the month of March the manager of the tramway left, and the curious fact was discovered that, at the end of four weeks after that event, the quantity of stone represented as having been cot up by the prisoner was 242 loads in excess of the previous four weeks. The discovery gave rise to suspicion, and checkers were employed, with the result that at the last assizes at Ruthin the prisoner and Richard Jones were indicted for conspiracy to defraud the board. The prisoner, James Jones, had not put in his appearance onthat occasion, but Rich. Jones was tried and convicted. Evidence having been heard, the prisoner was found guilty and sen- te"- d to six months' imprisonment.

Lord Justice Buggallay was the guest of Mr E. I Swetenhaiu, Q C at Cutnyralyn, Rosset, on Sunday. On Tuesday aitemoon two fanners, whilst at the Newtown Kauway Station, Montgomeryshire, pre- paratory to leaving by train, were robbed of cash to the amount of i42 and .£26 respectively. frhe actual work of the new University of South ales and Monmouthshire commenced at Cardiff on Monday, under the guidance of Mr J. V. Jones, principal. The students number S8, but this total is expected speedily to increase. The Parish Church of St. Michael, Kerry, one of the most ancient and interesting of the Montgomery- shire Churches, was re de dicated last Friday by the Bishop of St. Asaph, after restoration, from the designs of the late Mr Street, R.A. The statement published in several daily papers on SaturJay, that the Bishop of Chester was about to I resign his see, and that the Duke of Westminster was using his influence to secure the appointment of the Rev. Canon Fleming to the bishopric, is utterly with- out foundation. The captain of a vessel which arrived at Portmadoc a few days ago, reported that he had sen the dead b jdy of a man floating in Cardigan Bay. It is sup- posed that this is probably the body of Mr Starkie, who went out from Criccieth some time ago in a canoe, and was not seen again. On Sunday afternoon, when the Rev. C. Willis, of Whitchurch, superintendent of the Wesleyan Circuit, was driving to an appointment down a narrow lane at Newall, the pony shied at a cart which stood on the road side, and, snapping one of the shafts, ran away. Mr Willis was thrown out, and received injuries about his face. A ne-v telephone exchange has been com; loted which groups Swansea, Cardiff, Newport, and Ebbw Vale, a distance <>f between eighty and ninety miles. They are further joined to the station on Mumbles Head, and as all vessels entering the British Channel call at the Mumbles for orders, the owners are now in immediate communication. The North Wales Congregational Union, at its meeting at Dolgelley on Tuesday, passed a resolution urging upon the Government the necessity of con- tinuing the annual grant to Aberystwyth College, which institution was greatly needed owing to the new colleges at Cardiff and Bangor being situated at the extremes of the Principality. A beautiful memorial window has been placed on the right hand side of the chancel of St. Peter's Church, Machynlleth, by the most Hon. the Marquis of Londonderry, in remembrance of his late mother- in-law, Lady Edwards, widow of Sir John Edwards, Bart., PIns Machynlleth. The framework is of Cefn stone, prepared by Messrs Chatham, Jones and Co., of Ruabon, and the stained glass was arranged by Messrs Clayton and Bell, of London, which bears the following representations:—Faith, Hope, Charity, Patience, Prudence, Justice, Fortitude, Temperance, and Truth. It is rumoured that Shrewsbury races will be held for the last time on Tuesday and Wednesday, November 13th and 14th. At one time this old- established fixture was very popular with owners of horses, but from various causes for the past few years the patronage accorded has considerably decreased, the townspeople also being most lukewarm in their support. The time was when the races occupied a whole week, but this year it is only a two-day meeting. The abandonment of the meeting will be heard of with great regret in the county and elsewhere. It is stated that the plant will be removed to Northamp- ton. Considerable excitement was caused in Ellesmere on Monday morning when it was rumored that as a boatman on the eanal was pushing his boat off, he found a common seed bag attached to the end of his boat hook. In the bag was a stone, and on examina- tion it was found to contain a quantity of letters which had been posted in various parts ot the country, and addressed to residents in and about Ellesmere. The letters bear various dates from January to June of the present year. The affair at present remains a mystery, but there is no doubt that the officials will use their best endeavours to find out by whom the letters had been thrown into the canal, and bring the culprits to justice. A most unusual event took place at Portmadoc on Sunday evening. Whilst the usual religious services were being held in the chapels, a voice was heard to shout Ohoi, ohoi," in the streets. It seen:. that John Owen (John Bach Cook Shop), Clogyberth, had either become deranged or was suffering from fietirium treiaens, for he had been drinking heavily for the last six weeks. At one chapel Owen shouted, danced, and screamed, creating great confusion. Women fainted, children cried, and the minister had to leave the rostrum. Owen was removed but subse- quently again entered the chapel, and caused the meeting to be broken up. Owen next visited another chapel, jumped through a circular window of stained glass, ran over the pews towards the pulpit, and stood on the harmonium. The congregation were panic- stricken, and some thinking the gallery was coming d )wn jumped from it, breaking in their fall a gas stand, also causing a large quantity of gas to escape. This incident led to greater confu-ion, and to prevent an explosion some p?rson turned the gas off at the meter, and brought darkness upon all. Owen was 8 -cured and turned out, and the police took him to the police-station. .—
MOLD. I
MOLD. I NEXT WEDNESDAY'S FAIR.—We are informed on the authority of the Clerk of the Peace that the fair on Wednesday next is to be an open one, and that no movement licenses will be required for bringing the cattle from any place within the county. FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.—We are officially in- formed that on Thursday last, the last infected circle within the police division of Mold was declared to be disinfected. The district is now wholly free of the foct and mouth disease, and cattle may be removed as usual. POLITICAL MEETINGs.-We are informed that the Right Hon. Lord Richard Grosvenor, M.P., and Mr John Roberta, M.P., have made arrangements to address their constituents at Mold on Monday even- ing, November 19th, Caergwrle on Tuesday evening, the 20th, and Holywell on Wednesday evening, the 21st. Full particulars will be announced in a few days. LIQUIDATION OF MRS JEFFS.—We are informed that a meeting of the Mold creditors of the above estate has been held this week at which it was unani- mously resolved to employ a solicitor who should be instructed to s-ift up all the facts most thoroughly. We are also informed that the liabilities amount to about 1:4,300, that the number of creditors is 78, and that the assets are nearly nil. The result of the examination is looked forward to with much interest. THE READING ROOM AND LIBRARY.—We are requested to state that the annual meeting of the members of the above institute will be held on Tues- day evening next, at eight o'clock for the purpose of receiving the annual report, electing the officers, and selecting the newspapers and periodicals, for the current year. The question of the transfer of the institute to the new rooms at the Town Hall, which, it is expected, will be ready early in March, will also be discussed. All the members are particularly requested to attend. Mr E. Thompson, J.P., president of the institute, will preside. COUNTY COURT. OCTOBER 26TH.—Before Horatio Lloyd, Esq., judge. There were a large number of new plaints and judgment summonses issued, but scarcely any of them were of any public interest. Poisoning a Dog.—A young man, named David Price Jones, for whom Mr H. G. Roberts appeared, sued Miss H. Roberts, of Cunliffe-street, a neighbour, for whom Mr Roper appeared, to recover the sum of £ 110s, the value of a fox ten ier doer, which was said to have been poisoned owing to the carelessness of the defendant. It was said that the defendant being annoyed by the depredations of some cats, had placed some poisoned meat about the premises, which was in the first instance carried away by a cat and then dropped and picked up by the dog which it killed. On the 17th of August, a black cat was found close to the house of Mr Jannion Jones, for whom the de- fendant was the housekeeper, lying on the ground dead, from the effects of poison. Near to the cat, the dog also was found in a dying condition, though he had been for only a few moments out of the house of the plaintiff. The defendant, Miss Roberts, had gone to see the plaintiff's mother, and it was on entering the house that the dog went out. Somebody came in almost immediately, and said that the dog was dying. They all went out, and the defendant sd. mitted laying some poisoned liver on a bench in the larder for some cats, which were arrant thieves, and added that if the liver was found on the stomach of the dog, she would p3y for it. The following day the body of the dog was opened by a man named Dalton engaged in the tanyard, and the liver was found in the dog's stomach. This was the case for the plaintiff, and Mr Roper submitted there was no case, inasmuch as no negligence had been proved, nor was it proved that the dog had been to the house at all, the theory about the cat bringing the liver out being only a theory.—Mr Roberts contended that if the prison was laid in such a manner as would attract the do?, the defendant would be liable.—Mr Roper thought there was no evidence to such effect, and called evidence to shew that the poison was laid in a larder some 12 or 15 feet from the roadway while the house-yard was surrounded by a wall six or seven feet high.—His Honor then gave judgment for the defendant, saying the defendant had a right to lay the poison about the premises so long as she did it in such a manner as not to allure the dog to its fate, and there was no evidence of any such thing. At the same time he had no moral doubt that death was caused in the manner described by the plaintiff, and for that reason judg- ment would be without costs, each party paying its own. A Question of Account.—This was a case in which Mr Joseph Eaton, as trustee under the will of the late Mr John Hughes, the builder, sued Dr. Williams and Mrs Ann Williams, Maesydderwen, to recover the sum of .£46, said to be due for some repairs done to the house now occupied by Dr. Ed. Williams, in the upper end of High-street. Mr H. G. Roberts appeared for Dr. Williams, and Mr R. J. Williams for Mrs Williams Mr Joseph Eaton said he had not engaged a lawyer trusting to the impartiality and good sense of the judsre, whom he .might inform that the late Mr Hughes was a man of the very strictest habit in keep- ing accounts. Neither had he any evidence besides those of the books. For Dr. Williams Mr H. G", Roberts said that scasie of the charges were thought to be exorbitant. He suggested they should be sub- mitted to some competent architect and then the amount to be apportioned by his Honor among the several defendants as the case demanded. This was agreed to, Mr Lockwood, cf Chester, being appointed referee. OJt..iUí"S R.-ParkinBOR, v.tM Lond()lf, and North, Western RaiU-ay Company.—Mr Parkinson, who conducted his own case, said it was an action brought J io recover 18s 4d, being the amount of damages done to a crate of glass in transit owing to the carelessness c the defendants. He said that the crate was sent-. at owner's risk, but he held that did not do away with the responsibility of the defendants to use ordinary care in the conveyance of the parcel, which he con- tended they had not done, inasmuch as a crate was delivered partly broken, while the contents were much shattered. He called Win, Roberts, carter, in support of his case, also Mr Gillet, the station, master, both of whom spoke as to the state of the I crate when delivered. The crate was 3 cv.-t. weight, and very slight in make Ilut of the ordinary make and character of such article. The judge asked the plaintiff whether he was pi-c^recl to prove rony wilful neglect on the put of the defendants, for unless he did, he could n"t recover.—The Piaintiff Wilful neglect your Honor, if I knew I would have to prove anything of that sort, I mj;;ht as well have stopped at home. (Laughter.) I am afraid that my case is somewhat prejudiced because I have had n-, lawyer to conduct it ?—The judge Not at all. You: need not be so modest, you have conducted it your- self quite as well as any lawyer I know could have done. (Laughter)—Judgment was then given for the defendants. BUCKLEY. GOSPEL SERVICES.—fepeeul gospel services are being held each evening in the Primiti_ ve Methodist Chapel, Drury-lane, conducted by Mr Gibben of the Evangelisation Society, London, the services being numerously attended. SPECIAL MISSION SERVICES AT ST MATTHEW'S CHURCH.—Special mission services have been held each evening during the week at this church. There have been large congregations. The preachers were the Rev. F. W. Torre, vicar, Rev. J. Evans, curate. Rev. Rowland Ellis, vicar of Mold, Rev. S. E. Glad- stone, rector, and Rev. H. E. Trotter, curate of Hawarden. HARVEST THANKSGIVING SERVICES. A special harvest thanksgiving service was held at the Baptist Mission Room, Lane End, on Tuesday evening, when an appropriate sermon was preached by the Rev. J. L. Grierson, pastor. On Thursday evening the Eng- lish Calvinistic Methodists held their annual harvest thanksgiving service at Zion Chapel, the officiating m:ni>ter being the Rev. John Williams, Chester, who preached an excellent sermon. The attendance at both places of worship was good. PRIMITIVE MEIHODIST MISSIONARY SOCIETY.—On Sunday, special missionary sermons were preached at the Tabernacle Cnapel, in the morning by the Rev. T. Pinnock, circuit minister, and in the evening by the Rev. J. Crompton, F.G.S., Oxford, and late sup- erintendent of thit! circuit. Collections were made at the close of each service on behalf of the Missionary Society. On Tuesday evening the annual missionary meeting was held in the School-room, Mill-lane, under the presidency of Mr Peter Kendrick. The Rev. T. Pinnock, read the annual report of the society, which appeared to be very satisfactory. Addresses were delivered by the Revs. Joseph Davies, W. Hobley, Calvinistic Minister, and the Rev. J. Crompton, and were listened to with attention and evident apprecia- tion. The attendance was very large, and a collec- tion was made in aid of the society. The usual votes of thanks to the chairman and speakers brought the meeting to a close. Sunday's collections amounted to £ 2 Is 7d Mrs T. Jones, missionary box collections, 7s ncl Miss Povah, llH 7d collection, Tuesday's meeting, 16,. 9!d total, 21 2s 7d. COURT LEET.—The court leet of the manor of Ewloe wa." held at Mr John Dunn's, Hope and Anchor, on Tuesday afternoon. The following gentle- men were sworn on the grand jury Mr Robert Griffiths, foreman, Messrs G. H. Alletson, J. M. Gibson, Joseph Newton. John Taylor, senr., Thomas Williams, John Dunn, Charles Gerrard, P. Reynolds, Joseph Catherall, and John Craig. There were also present: Mr T. T. Kelly, steward to the manor, Mr J. Pickering, agent to the estate, and Mr Charles Robins, the bailiff, and the following gentlemen were sworn in as burleighmen for the ye.,r: Mr Henry Hayes and Mr Joseph Newton, Ewloe Town Mr J. I Graig and Mr Joseph Catherall, Ewloe Wood and Mr R. Reynolds, Aston. The only proposition the Court made was for a new road from the north end of Mr William Catherall's pottery to join the road leading up the village from Belmont. At the con- clusion of the business the above-named and several others among whom were Mr Connor, Mr Earle, Mr Griffiths, Mold, Mr Armour, Kelsterton, and Mr Thomas Jones (organist), partook of an excellent dinner provided by the host and hostess, Mr and Mrs Dunn, at the expense of Mr P. B. D. Cooke, lord of the manor. During the evening the usual loyal toasts were given. BRYMBO AND BROUGHTON. CONCERT.—On Tuesday evening a very successful concert was given at the Tabernacie by the celebrated tinor, Eos Morlais, and M;'si WinnieWo)d, assisted by several loca! amateurs, the meeting being presided over by Mr William Reynolds (Alaw Alun). Eos Morlais was in excellent voice. His song, The Two Chords," was rendered with great taste and ex- pression and deservedly applauded, while Llwybr ar y Wyddfa (Paths on Sno-vdon) was redemanded, and in response "Yr Eos" (The Lark) was given, which affords a fair display of the abundant volume and compass Eos Morlais has at command, while it also afforded a good opportunity to give due prominence to the artistic execution of Miss Jennie Davies, who accompanied the songs. The Children's Home" was well received, while "Hobed Hiiion was enthusiastically received. Miss Winnie Wood with very good effect sang "Little Crossing Sweeper," The Captive Greek Girl," Let me dream again," Y Gardottes Fach" (The Little Beggar Girl). Mr Simon Davies well maintained his position as a favorite with the Brymbo public in his interpretation of Bedd Llewelyn," which was admirably rendered. Mr W. H. Whomsley and party and Mr Edwin Cunnah and party sang several glees in excellent style, each party beinsr deservedly well applauded. Miss Charlotte Reynolds accompanied one of Mr Simon Davies' songs, while Miss Jennie Davies occompanied most of the other portions of the pro- giamme, her skilful manipulation of the instrument evincing artistic taste and excellent execution her imitation of Scotch bagpi.-e: was thoroughly enjoyed. The Chaiiman, among other well received remarks, recited the following stanza to Eos Morlais:— Pob Canwr glew wrandewai's yn y wlad, Un fel hwn ni chlywais, Manvrlwjdd i Eos Morlais he rhyw wledd mewn nwr o lais. There was a very full house, the Tabernacle being crowded. The proceeds are to be devoted to the Eisteddvod funds. COEDPOETH AND MINERA. THE LATE MR RICHARD JO.NES.-We record in another column the death of an old resident of Adwyr Clawdd, a tradesman of 40 years—Mr Rich. Jones, who was widely known and respected. The deceased served the township of Bersham three times as overseer of the poor, and on one occasion gave much time and assistance in the valuation of the township. He was a Liberal in politics though not taking an active position in the party. The funeral took place at the New Cemetery, on Wednesday, and was attended by a large number of neighbours and friends. The service was conducted by the Rev. Percy Watson, and the mourners were, Mr James Jones, London Mr T. B. Jones, Liverpool; and Mr E. Jones, Manchester (sons); Mr Joseph Jones, Stoke-upon-Trent (brother); and Mr T. Evans, Abbey Cwmhir Mr W. H. Darby, Aiderley Edge and Mr A Roberts (sons-in-law). MOVEMENT OF CATTLE.—A very unusual scene in these dreary days of restricted movement, took place on Monday at the Railway Wharf, Minera. Quite 300 cattle were seen (and heard too) by the spectators as they were placed on the 20 trucks provided for the occasion. About 150 were the property of Mr Richard Thomas, Llandegla, while Messrs. T. and R. Wil- liams, from Bwlchgwyn and the Gegin, Minera, were the owners of 105. Of course licenses for removal were not wanting, and the trucks, carrying from 15 to IS each, were soon on their way to their destina- tion. A STRANGE ENCOUNTER.—On Saturday night, after spending a convivial evening at a Minera Inn, an in- habitant of that locality started for home at the usual closing time, but had not proceeded far when he en- countered something which kept running from sid, to side of the road, but what it was there was not suffi- cient light to show. He could only make out that there was something moving with great rapidity across the road without making any advance along its length. To say he was startled would convey oniy part of the truth-he was much frightened, and made many fruitless attempts to pass the strange appari- tion. He did not turn his back upon it for fear of he knew not what, and it was with a sigh of great relief he at last saw a man approaching with a lighted lantern, and then found that his dreadful foe was a large black cat, with something strange about its head. With the help of his new ally he soon caught the animal, and then found that its head was thrust tightly in a tinned can. With some difficulty its head was extricated from its novel cap. The tired pedestrian then proceeded home without any further annoyance. CORWEN. PROPERTY SALE.—Mr W. Dew, of the firm of Messrs Dew and Son, Bangor, on Wednesday offered for sale at the Owen Glyndwr Hotel, 402a. 3r. 32p. of freehold farms lying on the banks of the River Dee. The property realised 29750. Bryntirion House, which was included in the lots, was withdrawn, the reserve not being reached. SCHOOL BOARD CONTEST AT CEP.RIGYDRUIDION.— Tuesday was a very exciting day at Cerrigydruidion, inasmuch as the election of members on the School Board took place.

By five o'clock a very large number of children and many adults were present, I and soon after ample justice was done to the good .1 1- tmngs provided. In the evening, a meeting was I held, when the chapel was crowded. The pastor took the chair, and a very interestisg programme was well sustained by the following:—Sarah A.

I OEORGE VINCENT BAILBY, the third master of the Grammar School, who had only been there nine days, was locked up on Thursday afternoon on a charge of stealing a watch. He is a young man of only 18 years of age. He has already admitted the offence. THE MAYORALTY",—Considerable uncertainty pre vails as to who will be the next mayor. Mr Harrison Jones has now served two years with great ability, and his successor is a question of interest. Mr Humphreys Roberts' name is mentioned, but he feels a disinclination to take the office at present. Mr R. C. B. Clongh is also sooken of. Two aldermen retire. Dr. Pierce and Mr T. J. Williams, both of whom will of course be re-elected. THE MUSICAL FESTIVAL.—The musical festival of the Calvinistic Methodist Sunday Schools of Denbigh district was held at the Capel Mawr, on Monday, the conductor being Mr John Thomas, of Llanwrtyd. The commodius building was crowded, especially in the evening, the singers, numbering about 600, occu- pied the gallery. The rendering of some of the tunes was remarkably effective, being repeated again and again, with great spirit, and indeed the singing throughout was very creditable. The first meeting was at 2.30. Mr Peter Roberts, St. Asapb, occupied the chair and delivered an interesting speech. The following tunes were sung from Ieuan Gwyllt's col- lection, Normandy," Brynteg," Montgomery," Palestina," and 3rd Chant (Sth Psalm), and Glan- rafon and the Double Chant, No. 269, from Can- iadan y Cyssegr also the two anthems Canaf ir Arglwydd" (Alaw Ddu). and "Bendigedig fyddo Arglwydd Dduw Israel" (J. Thomas). The second meeting commenced at six, and was presided over by Mr T. Gee. The following tunes made up the pro- gramme, "Glanrafon," St. Bride," Bremen," li The Old 50th," Palestina," and the same chants and anthems as were rendered in the afternoon. Addresses were delivered by the Chairman and the Rev. D. M. Davies, Nantglyn. The accompanists were Miss Roberts, High-street, and Miss Roberts, Henllan. The devotional exercises during the day were conducted by the Revs. Jacob Jones, Priori David Davies, Henllan Isaac Jones, Nantglyn and D. M. Davies. ALDERMAN GEE AND THE DRAINAGE QUESTION.— Mr Alderman Gee has forwarded a letter relating to this question to 'the Mayor, and members of the Council. Mr Gee refers to the remarks made on the subject at the last Council meeting, which he con- tends were entirely erroneous, and gives the con- clusions to be drawn from a reference to the agree- ment made between the Corporation and Mr Hughes, Kinmel. With reference to the disposal of the storm water by former Councils, Mr Gee says :— It has only cost the boiough £ 8(1—and which will be nearly all repaid if necessary—but it will save the borough from jt:350 to S590 if it is not disturbed. And what is more important still-jt will also, most likely. forego any possible disputes in connection with the storm water in the future. But if a better and cheaper plan can be found, I shall be delighted. And, I firmly believe also, that the plan which was thought out. and submitted by Mr Burton, and approved of by a large majority of the Council, was by far the che ipest way of disposing of our difficulties with the out- fall sewer; when ail our obligations under the above agreement were considered. It would, I believe, as he said, get rid of the sewage and storm water together, and dispose of the whole question-and I maintain that Mr Burton is entitled to the warmest thanks of the Borough for the trouble which he took with this matter. But a small minority of the Council, in connection with a public meeting, succeeded in upsetting this plan, and the respon- sibility as to any future scheme has thereby been removed from the shoulders of the Town Council. Mr Burton's plan would cost £ 1,006. It remains to be seen what the next will cost. In conclusion, I wish to state that I, as Mr Hughes' tenant, seek no favor or concession of any kind whatever- nothing but the simple fulfilment of the covenants which are contained in our agreement. I want the whole of the sewage of your district, which I have not had up to the present time, and I think yon will not expsct me to bs content with less. BOROUGH POLICE COURT, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26TH.—Before the Mayor, Mr J, Harrison Jones, Messrs Thos. Evans, E. T. Jones, T. J. Williams, and W. Morris. Drunkenness.—Henry Emmanuel pleaded guilty to being drunk and disorderly in Portland-place on the night of the 4th October and was fined 2* 6d and 7s Od costs.—Richard Henry Davies, Tower-terrace, was charged with being drunk and fighting with the last defendant. He was fined 2s 6d and 9s Od costs. Disturbing a Congregation.—Mr John Williams, seedsman, lirookhouse, summoned a boy by the name of John Wynne for riotous behaviour in disturbing the congregation of Salem Chapel (Wesleyan) during service on the 14th of October. Defendant said it was not during service time, but Mr Williams proved that it was during the administration of the Lord's Supper. Mr Williams asked the Bench to deal leniently with the defendant. The Mayor told Wynne he had done a very wrong thing to disturb the congregation during the most solemn service they could be engaged in. He was liable to a penalty of 25. or to be sent to gaol for two months with bard hbor, but as Mr Williams had pleaded for him they would only fine him a Is and costs, 83. Appointment of an Engineer.—At an adjourned Town Council on the afternoon of the 26th October, there were present The Mayor (Mr J. Harrison Jones), Aldermen T. J. Williams and E. T. Jones, Councillors R. H. Roberts, R. A. Davies, J. C. Wynne Edwards, W. Morris, and John Lloyd. Mr J, Parry Jone3, town clerk.—There were six names submitted to the Council—three from London, two from Liverpool, and one from Wrexham.—Mr Lloyd wanted to know what about the clerk of the works? —The Mayor said they were not considering that now.—Mr Lloyd said it was most important.—The Mayor That will come after this.—On the motion of Mr E. T. Jones, seconded by Mr J. C. Wynne Edwards, it was proposed that Edward Cousins, of Westminster, should be engaged as the engineer to the Corporation in the matter of the drainage.—Mr Lloyd now rose and desired to make a few remarks, but the Mayor peremptorily declined to hear him and he resumed his seat. The motion was put and carried unanimously. It was then arranged that the Mayor, lown Clerk, and Surveyor should meet Mr Cousins when he came down. After the Town Clerk had announced that the terms on which the money for street improvements would be borrowed at four per cent. the Council rose. FLINT. HARVEST HomE.-Thank,-givina services were held at the Flint and Flint Mountain Welsh Wesleyan Chapels on Monday. The congregations were very large.—Special thanksgiving services were held at the English Presbyterian Chapel on Tuesday evening, when the preacher was the Rev. Richard Jones, Connah's Quay, and at the Welsh Congregational Chapel on Wednesday, when the Rev. Josialt Jones (C.M.), Flint, preached. A NEW TRICK.—A m%n named Thomas Roberts, a native of Warwickshire, was brought up before Dr. Jones, on Monday, charged with feigning tits on the Chester-road on the previous Saturday night, for the purpose of playing on the sympathy of the public and then to ask for alms. The case was proved by P C Eley, and prisoner was sent to gaol for 14 days with hard labor. CONSERVATIVE CLUB.-The monthly meeting of the Conservative Club was held on Tuesday evening, Mr Thomas Bate, president, in the chair. The finances of the club were considered and deemed very satis- factory. It was stated that a room had been secured in Church-street, and would be occupied by the club after it had been cleaned and furnished, when the members would be able to read the daily papers, and otherwise enjoy themselves. ALLEGED SUSPICIOUS DEATH.—An inquest was held at the Town Hall, on Saturday morning, by Mr Wm. Da vies, coroner, on the body of John Durkin, a middle- aged man, who died on the previous Wednesday. Great interest was manifested in the case in the neighbourhood of Flint and Bagillt, as it was alleged deceased had died through injuries received a short time ago at Bagillt. The first witness called was John Shea, who said he had brought Durkin from Bagillt about a fortnight previously, where he had been lying ill for a month. Deceased had com- plained to the witness of pains in his left side, and said he had been kicked by a man named Dennis, at Bagillt.—Mr R. Jones, surgeon, stated that in corn phance with a coroner's warrant, he and his assistant had made a pout mortem examination of the br.dy of the deceased. He found it a mere skeleton. Durkin had died from consumption. He hud heard the evidence of the previous witness as to his being kicked on the left side. The symptoms were nothing more than an ordinary case of consumption, but the injuries he was alleged to have received at the time might have accelerated his decease.—The jury re- turned a verdict of Death from natural causes. GWERSYLLT. I VHUBCH i-AEADE-Un Sunday the F Company (Gwersyllt) had a full church parade when there was a large muster. The members, under the command of Captain Clayton and Lieut. James assembled at Penson's Turning and headed by the band, under the leadership of Bandmaster R. J. Williams, marched to the parish church where an appropriate sermon was preached by the Rev. J. Dobell, vicar. CONSECRATION OF NEW CHURCH BURIAL GROUND. -On Monday the piece of land attached to the parish churchyard at Gwersyllt, presented by the Vicar, was consecrated by the Lord Bishop of St. Asapb. A suitable wall and suitable gate has recently been erected round the boundary by Mr J. Sparrow Gwersyllt Hill. A procession, composed of the choir in surplices, with the clergy-Rev. T. Harries and Rev. R. Edwards, curates, Rev. E. B. Smith, vicar of Gresford and Rev. J. Dobell, vicar of the parish and the Bishop left the Infant School and proceeded to the Church, singing as a processional on eaterin" the Church, hymn 390-Hymns Ancient and Modern Brightly gleams our banner "Nlr T. Poutnev presiding at the organ. At the church an abbreviated form of moriting prayer was gone through, the special psalms 122 and 150 being suiiq bv the choir. The first lesson was read by the Rev. R. Edwards and second lesson by the Rev. T. Harries, the prayer being read by the Rev. J. Dobell. At the conclusion of the prayers the Vicar approached the communion rails and read the petition to consecrate to the Bishop which had been signed by the Rev. J. Dobell, and Messrs T. H. Clayton and William McHutcheon the churchwardens. The Bishop then entered the nave of the church and standing in the aisle addressed the congregation. His Lordship, in the course of his remarks, mentioned that the Vicar had in the late controversy on the cemetery question acted from beginning to end from entirely disinterested motives and in a very straight- forward manner. He also stated that a gentleman in the parish deserved the gratitude of the parishioners for the very substantial wall which he hnA ,o.,o.I.. "4"V1;ji"" the enclosed ground. Hymn 237, 0 God of Hosts Was then sung by the choir, the procession passing down the aisle in the same order as before. The procession passed through the burial ground to the new ground, walking round it. and singing the Old Hundred and hymn 260, Hark my soul." The procession then halted, and the Bishop read the con- secration service, and having signed the doeument, the procession re-formed and proceeded to the Infant School singing Brightly gleams our banner." There was a fairly large congregation, and outside the church a large number of people assembled to witne~ ss i the ceremony. HOPE AND CAERGWRLE. I PETTY SESSIONS, THURSDAY.—Before A. F. Jones, R. V. Kyrke, W. Thorn, and W. C. Jones,* Esq rs. literal Fishing and Assault.-Thomas Evan?, of I ( -8Ss,er, was in custody charged with fislbir. g during close time near Saltney, on the 14th July (Sunday), r and also with assaulting the water bailiff. Rose, and another. The defendant had been summoned to Hawarden, but at that time he was already in "durance vile" for another offence, and a warrant was then ordered for his apprehension on his release. On the night in question, when the defendant and the other man were found, they pelted the watchers with stones. There were three previous convictions against the defendant for a similar offence.—He was ordered to pay a penalty of C5 or two months for illegal tish- I inir, and for the assault on the bailiffs S5 or two months, the one term to commence on the expiration of the other. License Offence. Aaron Edwards, Waenfawr, Uwchymynydd Ucha, was summoned by P.C Hughes for keeping a dog without a license on the 5th of October.

Settlement of Cases.-Their Worships made a similar order to the one made at Mold, to the effect that in future all defendants summoned would have to appear in Court, and if there was no prosecutor there would be an end of the case. I HOLYWELL. SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION.—Wednesday was the last day for the withdrawal of candidates, and out of the 19 persons nominated for the seven vacancies only four withdrew, viz.. Mr Evan Bryan, Whitford- street Mr John Carman, Gerddi Benns Mr H. A. Cope, solicitor. Holywell and Mr Thomas Hughes, Greenfield Copper Work3. The remaining candi- dates consist of five Churchmen, one Baptist, one Calvinistic Methodist, two Wesley ana, four Congre- gationalists, and one Independent candidate. The elec. tion will evidently be fought upon religious grounds, and much interest is taken in the contest, a new feature in the election being tha nomination of a female candidate. I HOLT AND FARNDON. BLUE RIBBON MEETING.—A very successful and largely-attended meeting was held in the Presbyterian Church on Tuesday evening. The chair was taken by Mr W. Brereton, Cacca Dutton. Messrs James Price, S. Dale, James Edwards, George Redrope, George Hughes, and John Harrison addressed the meeting. The choir rendered efficient services under the leadership of Mr Frederick Copper. A solo was admirably well sung by Mr J. T. Sheppard. Mr T. L. Meredith presided at the harmouium. MEDICAL SUCCESS.—Mr Edward Smallwood. of Seacombe, Liscard, a pupil of Mr J. Oliver Jones', Holt Academy, has this week been successful in passing the medical preliminary examination held by the University of Glasgow. He passed in all the subjects required. Mr Smallwood is preparing him- self to go out into the foreign field as a medical missionary. During the last fortnight four pupils from the Academy have successfully passed the medical examinations—two the preliminary and two the first M.B.—{bachelor of medicipe.), I LLANGOLLEN. I PRESENTATION TO A POLICE OFFICER.—On Thurs- day P.S. Jones, who has been promoted by the Chief Constable to be Inspector of Police at Ruthin, was the recipient of a very handsome testimonial, which had been subscribed to by most of the magistrates usually sitting on that Bench, and by a large number of the inhabitants of the town and district. At two o'clock in the afternoon a number of the subscribers met at the Bounty Hall, Mr W. H. Davies. post- master being voted to the chair. He said he was very sorry that Capt. Best, who had promised to take the chair on that occasion, was unavoidably absent. Daring the short space of about five days, over £13 had been subscribed towards presenting Sergt. Jones with a testimonial, and among the subscribers were magistrates, teetotallers, publicans, and men repre- senting nearly all classes of interest in the town and neighbourhood.—Mr Clarke then read the text of an address, which had been beautifully illuminated and mounted in a handsome massive gilt frame by Mr Boothy, of Wrexham.-Sergt. Jones in feeling terms acknowledged the handsome gift which had been pre- sented to him.—Mr Tussell, stationmaster, Mr M. H. Roberts, cabinet maker, Mr Jno. Davies, ironmonger, and others, also expressed their regret at losing the services of so efficient aa officer as Sergt. Jones. The presentation of the address was supplemented by that of a purse containing £10. and also a list of the sub- scribers beautifully framed. PETTY SESSIONS. TUESDAY. Before G. L. Dickin, Esq., Captain Best, Major Tottenham, and Major Conran. Serious Railway Offence.—John Edward Jones, a young man from Cefn Mawr, was charged by Inspector Brooker, Chester, with being drunk and using abusive language in the railway station on the 1st September.—Defendant was fined the full penalty of 40s and costs. Permitting Drunkenness.—Mrs Griffiths, landlady of the Butcher's Arms, Bridge-street, was charged with permitting drunkenness in her house on Sunday, September 30fch.—Mr A. Bradley, Wrexham, who appeared for defendant, said that he had advised his client to plead guilty to the charge. The house be- longed to Mr Sisson, Wrexham, who had served de- fendant with a notice to quit, as he was anxious that the house should be conducted properly in future.- P.C. Griffiths having proved the case. the Clerk stated that the license of this house had been endorsed on the 29th March, 1881, from a person named John Mayman. There was nothing against the present tenant.—Defendant was fined £1 and costs and the license ordered to be endorsed.—Mr Bradley con- tended that the endorsement of the license was a punishment upon the owner of the house, whereupon Mr Dickin observed that it was his strong convietion that if more licenses were endorsed under similar circumstances landlords would be more careful to let their houses to respectable tenants. Sunday Drinking.—John Roberts, Queen-street, was charged with being in the Woolpack Inn on Sun- day, September 23rd.—Mr Roberts, Rhyl, defended. Sergeant Jones stated that having noticed defendant walking about the street for a long time that night, he watched him.

Suspected Poaching.-John Roberts, who was (Te cribed as a notorious poacher, was charged by P.C. Brooks with being in possession of a net and bag for the purpose of poaching.—P.C. Brooks said that about 12.30 on the morning of Oct. 7th, he met de- fen lant and another man named Stephen Breeze, and upon saying he would have to search them, Breeze picked up a stone and hit him wilh it. He closed up to Roberts, and Breeze threw another stone (pro iuc 'd) which hit Roberts in the head, and caused him to fall down. Breeze then made his escape. In Roberts' possession he found a net which was about 60 yards long, and an empty bag. In the net there were leaves and sticks, as if it had been recently used. Breeze had since disappeared.—Mr Roberts. for the defence, said that Roberts had been at the White Lion Inn, Llangollen, on the day in question, trying to dispose of his net. Failing to find a customer for it, lie was on his way home when he was attacked by the police officer.-Defendant was fined £ L and costs, and a warrant was issued for the apprehension of Breeze, who stands charged with assaulting the police. At the conclusion of the business of the court, Mr Dickin warmly congratulated Sergt. Jones on his pro- motion to be inspector. It was with considerable re- gret he understood that he was about to leave Llangollen for Ruthin, as they all knew that since he ha.d besn here, there was a vast improvement in the order of the town. He was a very able, hard- working and intelligent officer, and well deserving of the promotion that he had earned.—Mr It. S. Richards, deputy clerk, endorsed all that had been saB by Me .) Dickin, and Sergt. Jones briefly but saif l by ?Nlc suitably replied. OSWESTRY. THE BISHOP OF ST.

The child was immediately taken to the Cottage Hospital, where it was found that it had sustained a severe crashing but that no bones were broken. THE CONSERVATIVE AsSOCIATION. The annual meeting of the p?westry Conservative Association ™ was fVhnel^d i in the Victona Rooms, on Monday evenin? and there was a very large attendance. Th- Presi- dent of the Association (Lord Harlech) occupied the chair, and his lordship was supported by Mr Stanley Lei^jnon, M.P., the Viscount Folkestone, M.P., Mr A. E. Payne, Pentrepant Mr G. J. Dutnville Lees W oodhill the Rev. A. R.Lloyd, The Hengoed MrE. Shaw, Plaswilmot; Mr Richard Brown, Ruvton-XI. lowns Mr R. H. Ellis, Oswestry Mr T. Roberts, Oswestry and Mr Taylor, Oswestry. The addresses, says the reporter, were received with considerable enthusiasm, the corner of the room, occupied by a number of the Grammar School boys, being especially remarkable for the enthusiasm which emanated from it. LADY H-IRLECWS CONCERTS.—The annaal concerts given by Lady Harlech in connection with the Oswestry festival Society were held at the Victoria Rooms on Tuesday afternoon and evening, and were a decided success, both as performances and in the matter of attendance. The afternoon concert con- sisted mainly of a performance of Kilman- segg and Her Golden Leg," by Miss Holland, followed by a small mi-seellaaeous selection, and the evening concert was entirely miscellaneous. The principal parts in the cantata were taken by Miss Gertrude Holland, Miss Littleliales, Miss Jenny Jones, Miss Pugh, and a quartet of gentlemen, comprising Mr Holcombe Ingleby, Mr C. G. O. Bridgeman, Mr Edmund Royds, and Mr Robert Thompson. Amongst others who took part in the proceedings were Mr W. H. Leslie, Miss Wakefield, Mrs Ssott Gattv, anil 31r James Badd. So great was the success of the cantata that it was repeated before a large audience on Wed- nesday evening. RHOSLLANERCHRUGOG. ) THANKSGIVING SERVICES. ihese held at the Bethel Independent Chapel, Hall street, on Monday night. The meeting was well-attended. The singing of chants by the choir was greatly ar. Preoi.*ted ^COLLIEW MEET?Q.-Awel! tended meetmg of colUers w? held on Friday evening at ?the ??S.M?* Inn. The Hafod, Vauxhall, and Bersham Collierit a were represented. The object of the meeting was to consider the prospects of the trade, and to promote unanimity of action among the various works m the forthcoming effort to obtain a substantial increase ia the present rates 01 wages.. p WIELLIAM I)AVIES, U.C-W.-We are glad to find that this gentleman, who is a Rhosite, having received his education at Aberystwith University College, through the generosity of the Rhos Colliers, is rapidly gaining a high reputation as a composer of music. Mr Davies is located at Llangefni, in Angle- sea. as a teacher of the piano, in which profession he has been eminently successful. He has lately Pub- lished some compositions which have won unqualified praise in Welsh musical circles. THE NEW PUBLIC HALL.—It is to be regretted that the alterations commenced in the old Market Hall have, for some time past, been nearly suspended, owing, it seems, to want of sufficient funds. The pre- sent proprietors, the Hearts of Oak Free and Easy Society, are doing their utmost to obtain the neces- sary amount to meet the next contract, which is co;* templated to be placed in the builder's hands at an early date. However, the society being mainly com- posed of the working class, the accumulation of funds takes place but slowly. The inhabitants, generally, are very anxious to see the hall completed, so that entertainments may be held therein before the winter is over. Y GYMRAES 0 GANAAN." The most cheering news is received from this gifted lady, now on a lecturing tour in the United States; When she left here in the early part of last year she contemplated returning at Christmas. However, so great was her popularity, and so numerous her engagements, that she was, from time to time, obliged to postpone her departure, and now at the approach of another Christmas, she finds that her services will be required for at least another year. Miss Jones is at present lecturing nightly in the neighbourhood of Shanan- doah, and her reir iniscences of Morocco and the Holy Land serve to attract crowded audiences. The Welsh press in America is unanimous in its praise of the lectures. SPECIAL SERVICES AND LECTURE.-On Sunday, the Rev. Hugh Hughes. one of the leading ministers of of the Welsh Wesleyan Connexion, officiated at the Wesleyan Chapel, Street Issa. So large was the con- gregation that many were unable to obtain admit- tance into the chapel at each service during the day. Mr Hughes fully sustained, his high reputation, his rare eloquence being thoroughly appreciated. Col- lections were made at the close of the meetins-On Monday night the rev. gentleman delivered his ad- mirable lecture on What I saw and admired, and what I deprecated in America." The chapel was crowded, and the lecturer received an enthusiastic re- ception. The receipts, which were considerable, were in Aid of the funds of the chapel. STREET NUISANCES.—Considerable annoyance has been caused to wayfarers in the dark by gangs of youths, who carry dark lanterns for the purpose of flashing them on the travellers when least expected. This reprehensible practice has grown so common now that some steps are urgently necessary to put it down. Solitary females seem to be specially selected as victims, while the perpetrators of the mischief are, in most instances, old enough to know that their con- duct is not unattended with danger to themselves.- Another source of annoyance is the growing practice of young children joining in groups after dark at the corners of the main thoroughfares to play. When it corners of the main thorou, is considered that we have no street lamps, and that these children conduct themselves as noisily as pos- sible, it is evident that the occupants of passing vehicles are in considerable danger, several narrow escapes having lately taken place; AN EXCITING SCENE AT THE PONKEY.—Oa Friday evening a rumour was spread that a child had fallen down a pit in this neighbourhood, and it caused a goodly number of the lovers of the sensational to rush to the scene, among them, on, duty bound; being a gentleman of the blue cloth vocation. Upon enquiries being made, it was ascertained that some school children were playing in the vicinity of the pit, and one of them averred that he had seen a little boy from the Pant slip into the shaft. Consternation seized many of those present, while one individual was rendered considerably uneasy by the contemplation of an 66 enquiry." The vision of an important inquest gave extra authority and activity to another party in the group. As there was, no gearing on the pit and the shaft was shallow, it was considered unnecessary to lower anyone down. A rope was procured, to which was attached a lighted candle, and amidst breathless silence its descent into the shaft was anxiously watched by the onlookers. At last the long sixteen reached the bottom, when it was dis- covered that it was a casp of great cry and no wool. It appeared to have been an hallucination on the part of the juvenile informer, and the leading actors in the comedy appeared to feel extremely foolish. A short homily by a certain official appropriately closed the scene. I RUTHIN. BOARD OF GUARDIANS.^—At the meeting or. Monday there were present Mr Thos. Jones, Rhydycilgwyn, vice-chairman, in the chair Messrs. Owen Williams, Rev. W. Rees Williams, W. Jones, J. Jenkins, Rev. David Williams, W. Davies, T. P. Roberts, Isaac Wynne, Marcus Louis, T. Smith, T. Ellis, Hugh Jones, Goodman Jones, Rev. T. Lewis, and G. F. Byford Mr R. H. Roberts, clerk. The number in the house was reported to be 66 against 78 lafit year; vagrants relieved 52 out-relief, 1:94 19s. There wa; n. business of public interest. THE VOLUNTEERS.—<1 Company paraded on the 25th alt., at 7.30 p.m., in undress arms and accoutre- ments, for company drill, and for presentation of shooting and drill prizes. There were present: Capt. Ellis, in command Lieutenant Ellis, Surgeon T. G. Jenkins, Sergeant-Major Watts, five sergeants, one bugler, twelve of the brass band, and 51 rank and file.

It w?n? his habit to give them long speeches, and that occa- sion would certainly b3 no exejpiion. He only desired to congratulate the promoters of that meeting for the literary and musical treat they had prepared, and that in a country where music had long ago taken deep root.

Co,cp.RT.-An amateur concert in connection with the Working Men's Association and Literary Inati. tute was held in the National Schoolroom on Friday evening, under the presidency of the Pev T. LI. Griffiths. The concert, which was the first of th season, was a complete success, the schoolroom beW filled in every part with a most appreciative audience The programme was excellently sustained, the various items also bemg well received by the aadience. Miss Starch, who is an exceedingly promising oianist played her pianotcai-te solos with great taste and .kill The singing of Miss Winnia Wood, Corwen, was, highly appreciated. Miss E. Hughes also rendered her pieces with ood effct. The tenor solos by Mr Charles Simpson, and the bass solos by Air p W. Jones, Cafn, and Mr E. Phillips ftlew Llanec-hi* Rholo, were well rendered and warmly received Mr Dan Owen's violin solos were executed with great aWli The President, addressing the audience dming the interval said he thought such an institution -is that they were met to support that night was most credit. able to the place, and it must be a boon to the ri'i°-h. bourhood. Its impecuniosity had, however, led to their having a real muscat fcrea* that night with, which they had all been gratified. (Applitise.) He was very sorry to find the funds of the Association so low. He thought the actual working expenses to be defrayed by the members theinselve,-z. lihe migbt venture to give them a word of advice it would be that each member of the institute should try duro ing the ensuing session to bring in another member and thus double their number. Then they ought to ask more gentlemen to become honorary members though they must not rely too exclusively upon honorary members, and concerts. If they would work themselves, then with the support of their worthy president, Sir Watkin, and the honorary members, they would, he felt sure, flourish and multiply. (Applause ) Mr Baillie accompanied: the various performers on the pianoforte with his usual ability. The Rev. T. Jones' curate of Ruabon, and treasurer of the Association in proposing a vote of thanks to the chairman, aid the reason the funds were so low, was that each year a, number of new volumes were added to the library, and as no concerts were held last year the funds of the Society had! been drained. They were very glad to welcome the chairman as an honorary member, and they felt very grateful for the support ,Iv--n by the honorary members of the institution. The .ibiary now consisted of nearly 600 volumes, and iar<;e facilities were rendered for recreation, amusement and study in the rooms. They also received very warm, support from Sir Watkin and Lady Williams Wynn —her ladyship having forwarded a five pound :inte to the treasurer that day.—Mr MiddletOn seconded the vote of thanks, after which a vote of th.mks was accorded the performers on the motion of the Chair- man, seconded by Mr T. Jackson.
