DISTRICT NEWS. MOLD THE NOVIMDER FAIR.—The fair on Wednesday was very a', tended, an J t':ere was also a good attendance of buyers. For stock of all kinds there WAS a go. d demand. Ilors-i were FOIJ at recent prices, anti, if anything, slightly advanced. Pigs were quite a drag, and prices tuled low. At his mal t in Orosvmor-street, Mr J. E. Davies held his usual heavy monthly sale, at the prices lately in force, all the lots being disposed of. SUNDAY SCHOOL MEETING.—MOI.D DISTRICT.—On Sunday the Li-monthly meeting of the Sunday Schools of the Calvir.i.-itic Methodists of the Molo district, was held at l'eutre Chapel, Mold. Mr Hubert I Willi:* ii). Ply no:: fa, presided, and there was a numerous atti tidance cf delegates from nearly all the schools of tli-j district. The fiist meeting was held at ten o'clock in the morning. Reports were received from the several schools as to the progress made for the aiiiiii.il examination to be held in March, when it was found tn:.t most of the schools had established cla^e-. Th so who had iu-t were urged to commence the claries at onc.\ and to hold local examinations between this and March. A very hearty vote of thanks w.vs passed to Mr J. Lloyd Morris, Wrexham- street, Mold, who had performed the duties for nearly six year*, only relinquishing them on that day, being followed in the office by Mr David Arthur, Mynydd i.-i.sa. It was resolved that the question of deciding whether the choral festival should be partly a catechi~i:iu one, should be adjourned to May next, when it would be disjus-ed with the view of finally deciding icic way or other with regard to the festival of 1S02, trifl in the meantime the attention of the several -cl;o-;izi to be called to the desirability of catechising the young for about half-an-hour in the afternoon session of the festival. Is was agreed that the selection of every Sunday School teacher should be MUI jr ct to the voice of the church, the fact to be made known at the chinch meetings, ai.d the new teachers to have the advantages of fchort| suggestions from the di-scorm. The sc'iiool s were also advised to re-e.-taMi'ih eiaspts for the teaching of the sol-fa system iluiing tluj winter nights. Aid. Thomas Parry, Mold, was elected the president for the next three yearp, and Mr Edward Edwards, ironmonger, lh< treasurer, for the same period. The next meeting was fixed to take place at Gwernatfield on the first Sunday in the new year. At the afternoon meeting the childrtn were catechised by the Rev. Edwin Jones, Ijlyny- pandy, the catecldst and catechumen being in a very happy ij><>od, and nub.sequezitly the adults were catechi?ed by Mr Jones from the 8;h chapter of the HyjTurddwr. In the evening an excellent sermon was preached by Mr Jones, aud the congregation, con- sideiing the very inclement weathsr, was very gocd indeed. Miss HOWARDS' CONCERT.-Oil Monday evening .Aliss Edith Edwards gave her first concert, at the Town iiall, under very distinguished patronage. There was very good attendance, and the concert was of a high-cbss, the most so perhaps that had been given in Mold for some time past. The artistes were :—Soprano, Miss Edith Edwards contialto, Mias ],- -lie E hvards tor.or, Mr Cuthbert Blacon, of the Manchester and Provincial Concerts bas-, Mr J. W. Maltby, of the Manchester Concerts solo violin. Signer J. Nicholls flute obligato, Mr W. H. K. M. Johnson pianists, Messrs R. and G. E. Johnson, of the London and Manchester concerts. The concert opened with a pianoforte dint (Tarantella) by Miss Edwards andMr R.Johnson. This was followed by Mr Maltby, The night watch," which was masterly rendered. A persistent demand for an encore wan piudently denied. Aliss Leslie Edwards then sang very prettily an old ballad, being worthily applauded at its close. The audience then had one of the treats of t ie evening, in a solo violin, by Signor Nicholls, oil-! of the best ever heard in the hall. Mi s Edith Edwards next gave an Italian song, Infelicc," which she rendered with great tast-j and judgemci.t. On Mr C. Biacon's coming, bounding .11 the utage with a swarthy countenance and curly hair, he was received with a laugh by some of the go.Is. Me looked it down quietly, and then sang with great ell ct "The Sailor's Grave." The higher notes were upecialIy good and the articulation distinct throughout, so tlH.t when he finished there was a io.ir of applause from all parts of the house, and so peri-i.-t.-nt and long c uitinued that he was compel1 d to respond with a ballad son; which he sang w;th i ffsci,, though nothing approaching his first effort. A duet by -Misses Edith and Lillie Edwards was well rendered and much applauded, and was followed by a pianoforte solo by Mr R. Johnson, which was much enjoyed, the first part closing with a madrigal fi'un the Mikado," in which the four vocalists took part. The first section concluded, the second was iuaugurat d with an exhibition of Edison's Phonograph, after which it onsitted of a duft, violin and piano, by Messrs R. Johnson and J. Nichols trio. On thee each living soul awaits," Miss E. Edwards and Mtasrs Blacun aid Maltby sol;g, After Sundown," Mis-s Lillie Edwards song, Nkipp-r of St. Ives," Mr .T. \V. Mut'.y duet, Home to our M untair.?," Ali." L. Edwards and Mr illacon pianoforte duet, Messrs R. and U. R. John s n song, Lady of the Lake," Miss E. Edward- madrigal from Veoman of the Guard," Mis.-e-i E. and L. Edward;, and Mvssrs BlacolI and Mr.lt'.y. We welt: lint present during the latter part of the concert, but we are informed it was of equal inorit with the fir:it. The concert was not concluded till nearly eleven o'clock, and the only fault which could he found with it was that it was rather too long. Itut that is the only fault that could he found, and Miss Edwards deserves the highest credit for the very superior entertainment she provided for her friends on Monday evening. PETTI" SESSIONS, MONDAV.—Before J. Scott Bankes, P. B. Davies Cooke, P. A. LL.yd, E. Thompson, P. Tatton D. Cook*?, C. 1'. Morgan, B. E. Philips, E. Lloyd, and E. il. Wain, Ei(Irs. YOUTHFUL DEPRAVITY. A young gnl, named Bertha Astle, of very respect- able appearance, and only eight years of age, was in custody charged with stealing 2i !) I from the till of Mr Jossph Catherall, post-master, Buckley. From a statement made I,y Air appeared that Mr Catherall had recently missed several small sums in cash from his till on Sunday evenings. The premises heini; found on his return from chapd with the key in the door on one occasion, and with the door open on another occasion, he ?ave information to  Sergt. Jones, who hid himself in the shop on Sunday night week, but found nothing. He went again on Sunday night about 7 oD, when the clerk in charge wa, about to leave, and from whom ho received three I shillings in Ctlpper, which the sergeant placed in the till. The clerk then left, and at ten minutes past eight somebody came, opened the door, and walked into the otiice, pacing where he was standing, but with a very light footstep. He heard somehody feeling along the counter, and then to the till. He took hold of a tiny little thing on its return to the door, but did not kno.v whether it was a boy or a girl. He said Who aie you ? she replied Tommy Tarren." He the:1 took hei to the bat k kitchen, when he saw her, and said You are a girl, not a boy." He then searched her, when she had i in her liaiiil, 1!.¡ fell on the n or, and the rest was in her pocket. He then kept her till Mr Catherall returned, when he took her tj the police station.—Mr Catherall and Sergt. Jones having given evidence to this effect, Mr Astle, the father, said that he missed the girl on the previous night, she saying she was going outside. She stayed so long that he grew uneasy, and searched everywhere for he'. When he found her at the police station she said that some little boy had told her to do it, and she did it at his request. He said that he never suspected that the girl did anything wrong, and she attended school every day.—Their Worships had very great difficulty in deciding what to do in the casp, owing to the ext-renil youth of the girl, and believed her to be the iiibtrutiierit of solne oider person, who im trgated her lip to it. Eventually it was agreed to remand the child for a week, she to be c-itifinell at the police station, Buckley. SCHOOL C'ASES. The following fines were imposed for negligent nttetidaiice ;-Eij Baitlett, Bromfield How, 3s Thos. Parry, Bucket Ruw, Buckley, David Davies, k- l ey, )j David Davies, Bucket Row, ft., EMPLOYERS AM> WORKMEN.

DRUNK OX LICENSED PREMISES. John ivoberts, collier, Alyn-terrace, was charged by P.C. J. D. Hughes with being drunk in the Union Inn, llenffordd-street oil the 22nd of October.—The wife of the defendant complained to the officer that he was drunk and abusing people. He went t) Alyn- terrace, and not finding the defendant in, he went to the inn, where defendant was standing before a table with a pint jog containing ale. Seeing he was drunlc, witness a.-ked the landlord why he had seived a drunken man with a pint of ale. The landlord said, I did not serve him with a pint," and defendant said, I only called for a glass." The landlord said he was not drunk, and the officer said he was drunk, j Witness went out and was followed by the defendant! and the landlord, who asked witness not to mention it. The defendant was in a good humor, and the landlord said he had giveu the beer to another person, who had given it to the defendant. The landlord asked the c 'mpany in the house whether the defend- ant was drunk, and they refused to answer, when witness said, If you have any doubt about it, take the defendant to the doctor. ''—The landlord, Thomas Edwards, was also charged with selling to a drunken man.—Mr G. H. Simon appeared for the defendant, and pleaded there was no evidence. He called Thomas Edward. the landlord of the Union Inn, who said Roberts called for a pint of beer, which he gave him. He did not see any signs of drink upon him.— John Jones, a neighbour, was called, and said he was present at the time, and in his opinion Iloberti was not drunk, but he had had some beer, and he was not sober.—Thomas Lloyd, engine driver, was of the same opinion.—This was the case, and the Chairman said they thought it was a case of negligence rather than a wilful breach of the law, and in the case of John Roberts he was fined 5s and costi. and the landlord for not tising ordinary precaution 10s and costs.—The Chairman highly complimented P.C. J. D. Hughes on the manner in which he had given his evidence and conducted the case. HUSBAND AND WIFE. Robert W illiams, of Biack Diamond, for whom Mr Simon appeared, was charged by his wife, Margaret, with deseiting her. The case was a most painful one, it being shown in evidence that they had been married for twenty years, and that she had given way to most intemperate habits, so as to cause her daughter to attempt to commit suicide at Penyffordd about six months ago. Toe result was that the case was dis- miseed, the Chairman tilling both to live peaceably, and if the husband did n, t maintain her, that she should apply to their worships again. Win. Evans, of Rhydgoleu, was charged by his wife with assaulting her on the :)dl October, in the house. He made some counter c,implainti-, and was bound over to keep the peaca for six month?. himself in £ 10, and two sureties in £3 each, or a month in default. HIGHWAY BOARD, WFPMSDAY. Presert.

BRIDGE OVER THE TERRIG. The Surveyor then called attention t.) the want of a bridge fcr fuot passengers from Xtrquis to Leeswood across thj river Terrig, instead of one which had been destroyed some years ng". Since then tha people had gone over the railway bridge close by, which had been erocteu to carry the line from Iferqnis Colliery 11 the Mold and Coed Talon Riilwaj. That bridxe, how. ever, owing to the discontinuance of the Xerquis Colliery, was out of repair and unsafe. It was arranged that the surveyor should put up a new foot- bridge on the old site as soon as possible, lest there be an accident during the winter nights. BP.YMBO AND BROUGHTON. I TIET. D.

The song "fonll," was skilfully rendered by Mr Wm. Davies, Pentre, who is WPII know in this district as an excellent tenor singer. The audience by this had become exceedingly noisy, and the Broughton Instrumental Party, under great disadvantage (owing to the crushing, whittling, shoutinT, and stamping of feet), gave another selec- tion.

FATALITY AT NEW BROUG HTON…
FATALITY AT NEW BROUG HTON COLLIERY, THE INQUIRY. On Friday the inquiry was opened at the White Hart Inn, Pentre Broughton, before Mr B. H. 'I'helwall, coroner, and a jury with Mr S. Parry, Moss, as foreman, touching the death of Robert David Jones, a;;ed 24, who was killed at New Broughton Colliery, on 20th October, through the falling of a prop. On Wednesday the adjourned inquiry was held at the same place. Mr J. L. Hedly. Assistant Government Inspector, was present —Mr G. M. Bailes, certificated manager of Bryn- mally Collieries, said that deceased was employed as a jobber. On the day he was killed witness went down the New Broughton Pit, and was in the wicket where the fa.al accident happened about 10.30 a m. The place wa" then to all appearance perfectly safe. Jones was killed about 1 p.m. The sketch produced showed that the deceased worked in a wicket at the bottom of the deep, main coal seam. Just before the accident, as far as he could understand, deceased must have been holing, when a stone. about 5 feet 6 inches ton?, about 6 feet wide, and about 2 feet thick, tapering off at the ends, fell in the waste behind him, and in falling it knocked a prop out from under the roof, close to where he was working. The prop struck Jones at the back of the head and forced him against the face of the coal, fracturing the skull. Witness thought the accident occurred through a slip in the roof, which formed what is commonly called a "rider." These "riders" were very dangerous stones, as they could not be detected. Wm. Kendrick, fireman. said he was down at 3 SO a.m. It was then quite safe, he having tried the roof with a pick. John Penk, contractor, said Jones worked for him. He was down about 5.45 a.m., and deceased came soon after him. The fireman told him that the place was t on weight at the bottom end of the wicket. At the time of the accident witness was boring a hole in the coal, and deceased was about seven yards from him. His partner called out "order," s3 he beard some- thing dribbling, and witness shouted to Jones to come away, but he did not attempt to get away. Witness had more danger to go through than deceased, and got away safely. Witness shouted "Robert," but there was no reply. He found him lying near where he was last seen alive, with his head towards the face and his feet to the waste. His opinion was that deceased was on the point of getting away, and the fall of the stone in the waste forced the prop which was supporting the roof close to him, and the prop atruck the deceased at the back of the head, causing his death. There was plenty of timber always at hand, and there were two rows of props already set. The jury returned a verdict of Accidental death, caused through the falling of a prop forced by the fall of a stone."

ISHOCKING DEATH OF AN OLD…
SHOCKING DEATH OF AN OLD FARMER. On Sunday afternoon, an old farmer, named Samuel Wainwright, living at Bannel, near the railway bridge, f"und that his bull had broken into a neigh- bour's field to some heifers. As a rule, the old man. when driving the animal, carried a pikel, and was I accompanied by his doir, but on this occasion he was without either. The bull was seen by two little boys to attack the old gentleman, and they ran and in. formed a neighbour. Mr Wright, with his son, hastened to the rescue, and, with sticks and stones, beat off the infuriated beast. They carried the old man home, but he only breathed twice and died. It was found that he had been terribly crushed in the breast, but the animal's horns were too far back for much goring. The same beast has turned on Mr Wainwright before, and is a large, fine animal. The same night it broke out of the shippon where it had been fastened, and wandered about two miles up and down the country, and was eventually shot by Mr John Dunn, of Buckley. Deceased was a we I- known, respectable farmer, a bachelor, about sixty years of age, living with a sister for many years on the same land. I BWLCHGWYN.

,COEDPOETH TABERNACLE MUSICALI…
COEDPOETH TABERNACLE MUSICAL FESTIVAL. This Eisteddvod, postponed until the Government examination had taken place at Penygelli Schools, was held on Monday. The first meeting took place at one p.m., under the presidency of Dr. \V. R. Parry-Jones, Wrexham.

Mr Rhedynog Price, G.T.S.C., Cardiff essays, the Revs. J. C. Rees (Baptists), and Evan Jones (C.M.), Coedpoeth recitations. Rev. T. E. Thomas (Independent), Coedpoeth poetry, Mr T. Jones (Canrhawdfatdd); art?, Mrs J. C. Rees. The attend- ance, at fiist very meagre, eventually swelled into an uncomfortably !arge audience, which necessitated the removal of the occupants of the front seats to the platform. The President said he was glad to find the programme was a totally Welsh one, a phenomena which was of rare occurrence in these Eisteddvodp. No doubt there was much complaining, and not with- out a cituse, of the indiscriminate mixture of both languages in these emblematic Eisteddvodau." He felt proud to see that Coedpoeth were so loyal to their nati ve tongue. If all were conducted on the same principles as this Eisteddvod, the English would in future have no excuse for their satire. The conductor called for bardic addresses, and one responded, viz., Mr J. E. Morris (Meurig Cybi), Brymbo. The programme was continued in the following order :—Pianofoita solo, "Oberon," in ex- cellent slyle, by Mr Walter Williams; Rong, "Hen Wind fy Nhadau," Mr Thomas Morris. Adjudication of Rev.

Three choirs competed—1st, Bwlchgwyn Choral Society, conducted by Mr Robert Jones 2nd. Cefn Mawr Choral Society, conducted by Mr G. W. Hughes and, 3rd, Coedpoeth Choral Society, conducted by Mr Joseph Wilcoxon. The adjudication, which waa well received, read as follows 1st Choir.—First movement—Commenced in good spirit and intona-ion, the trebles correct and clear on the 14 G's above the stave. Bisa solo, very me'odious voice, but lacking in expression. In quartett, tenors were slightly' out of tune. In the trio the tempo was too fast, IDo-e of a vivace movement than I I allegr)." Last movement t -Ba.is taking up the subject of the fugue" in very bad I intonation and attack. 2nd Choir.—First movement—In excellent spirit, the sopranos having splendid voices, but rather too powerful compared with the other voices. Bass solo very expressive throughout good voice. Quartett and chorus very effective, and in excellent time and tune throughout. In the trio the tempo was quite correct, but the alto was rather distinct from the ether voices, not blentlillg I perfectly with them. Last movement—The bass took up the subject of the "fugue" in excellent form the attack, sustenance, and release of the principal note3 were excel- I lent, and the choir evidently were trained to give an intelligent rendering of fugual passages. The transitions were very good ani effective. The trebles made a slight mist ike in taking up one of the subjects of the "fusue," coming in a moment too soon. 3rd Choir.—First move tnent-Commen red in good time and spirit good voices, and well balance-4. The bass solo j was rendered too tame and inexpressive, although the voice was fine. The tempo in the quartett and chorus was much too slow. The trio was t ikell too fast, thereby the expression was entirely lost. Last movement—The woices lacked much in attack. Tha subjects were not taken up decisively enough. The transitions were very badly donp, the B flat in the transition to F being rendered ES B n itural. Fair intonation, but lacking compactness and finish. The prize was awarded to the second choir, and the decision was loudly cheered. The adjudicator (Mr Price) performed his duties admirably. THE CONCERT. Owing to the absence of Dr. Jones, Mr Thomas .Tones (Canrhawdfardd), was voted to the chair. Miss Hughes rendered very pleasantly Twickenham Ferry," which was loudly applauded. The Cefn Mawr Male Voice Choir (conducted by Mr G. W. Hughes, A.C.) gave "Glory and Love to the Men of Old," in a most powerful and brilliant style, and richly deservpd the vociferous encore which followed. Peggy o' Yarmouth Town was sung in a cultured style by Mr J. H. Moody, Coedpoeth. "Teyrnasoedd v ddaear" was again rendered by the Cefn Mawr Choral Society, followed by "Y Gloch" fthe)anst composition of W. Davies, Oxford), by Mr Simon Davies, Brymbo. The investment and chairing of the successfuljchoir atthe Eisteddvod then took place.

After a song "Peidiwch a dweyd wrth fy nhariad." by Miss Hughes, Cefn, followed the chorus "The AnvH." by the Cefn M?" Voice Choir, which elicited a storm of apptau?e. The song I'MacVs Brid" was very fweeUy rendered by Miss Hughes. After the son? "Mona," by Mr Simea Davies, the singing of HenWtadfynhadau" ter- i minacad one of the most successful Ehteddvods ever held in the district. Due credit must be given to, the committee, of which Mr F. D. Griffiths, Talwrn, was secretary, Mr R. Jones, Coedpoeth, treasurer, :u..J the Rev. J. C. Rees, chairman
I „ THE BARBER'S CHAIR.I
I „ THE BARBER'S CHAIR. IY iltt a dreadful state the school steps are ill, as illustrated on Monday night. No lights, rc, guides, and a slippji? track: I wonder how much it would cost to ii-ht t':e tdaca by gas, say for three hours. I suppose it will be remedied, like the trap lights when someone has sacrificed a life or limb for tb benefit of his fellow men. What call i there in a country place like tbh for advancing milk to td per quart ? I And how is it that, until the recent competition in selling it, no word was ever m 11 tinned (even in the most flourishing timea) about such a thing ? Now for condensed milk This. 1 am certain, will equal in quality some now sold for 4d per quart. Mr Edward Edwards, barber, last week cut a cauli- fl,)wer grown in his garden, weighing Gibs. 15oz. It was afterwards sold for sixpence. FIGARO. 1 FIGABO. I CYMMAU. CALVINISTIC METHODISTS.—The Calvinistic Metho- dists held their harvest thanksgiving on Monday evening in the form of a special prayer meeting. On Friday evening an appropriate sermon was preached by the Rev. 0. B. Jones, of Summerhill, a collection being made in aid of the Home Missions. I DENBIGH. I STANLEY IN AFRICA.—On Tuesday, a most in- teresting and instructive exhibition of pictures, by means of lime-light. t lok plactj at the Church House. The subject was "Stanley in Darkest Africa." The lecture was read hy the Rector, the Rev. J. Morgan. Tha admission was free, a collection being taken. ELLESMERE. I ALLEGED ASSAULT ON A MARRIED WOMAN,-At the Petty Sessions on Tuesday, Thomas Perry, laborer, liordley, was charged with having indecently assaulted a woman named Margaret Burgess, wife of Robert Burgess, of Hordley, on October 10tti.-Prose- cutrix stated that she was taking her husband's dinner to him on the day in question, and passed the prisoner, who committed the assault complained of.—Robert Burgess, husband of the prosecutrix. said his wife complained of the aseault to him when she brought him his dinner. She was crying at the time, and her hand was bleeding.—Joseph Thomas, laborer, Ferney Hough, said he saw the prisoner and the prosecutiix. Prisoner was following Mrs Burgess, Witness cor- roborated Mrs Burgess' evidence with regard to the assault.—John Evan", laborer, who was working with the last witness, corroborated, but said he could not identify the prisoner.—P.C. Hill said he appreheudsd the prisoner at Ruyton-xi-Towns. When charged with the offence he made no reply. On the same day prisoner asked witness what he would get.—Prisoner said he remembered nothing about the offeiice.-Ile was committed for trial at the assizes. ESOLUSHAM. I THE CHURCH ARMY.—The fifth anniversary of the Church Army was celebrated in the above parish on Tuesday, and it was evident that this Church move- ment has by no means lost its power in Esclusham. The ladies in connection witll the church had pro- vided an excellent tea, and over 150 persons partook of the same. The evening meeting was so well attended that an extra short meeting had to be devoted to the children in order to make room for the adults. The Vicar, Rev. L. W. Davies, conducted the meeting, and Captains Robert Roberts (Denbigh), Hawker (Oswestry), Mrs Frame (Wrex. ham), and members of the Church Army Corps from Wrexham, 03westry, and Esclusham took part in the meeting. The Vicar expressed his great joy at seeing so many present, and though the career of the Church Army during the last five years had not been altogether uuchequered, the movement had un- doubtedly proved a great blessing. It was true there had been a falling away," but the Church Army was not responsible for that. He maintained that, considering the class of people it had reached, and the length of time it had been in operation in the parish, the percentage of relapses had not been nearly so great as those which follow after other levivab. It was unreasonable and wrong to conclude that any movement was a failure because some had backsliden. Looking at Christianity as a whole, or the great historic revivals, or even the personal experiences of individual Christians, had not this been the history of the Kingdom of Christ all along the ages ? Was Christianity a fai'ure because all Christ's followers, at a critical moment, forsook Him and fled? Was it a failure because, at a trying moment, !St Paul had to lament that all men forsook" him ? No. "The kingdom of heaven cometh not with observation." What often appeared a failure was really a success. Several of the earliest converts in connection with the Church Army at Esc'usham were now, praise God, among their most faithful communicants and Church-worker?, and he remained as tt out an advocate of the movement aa ever. After several men and women had testified, Capt. Hawker spoke impressively of the try joya and pleasures of a converted and consecrated life. Mrs Frame spoke and sang. Capt. Roberts gave several very remarkable instances of converted lives, and miserable homes made happy through t i?,,ive s,n? ?return. e i n "t r ,u mentality of the Church Army, and concluded by making an earnest appeal to the backsliders to return. GRESFORD. WINTER LECTURES AT BURTO.N.-The third of a seriesof fortnightly lectures at Burton School was given on Wednesday evening, when the Rev. J. C. Trampleasure, of Higher Kiunei ton, gave an address on The Bible." After a lucid and impressive ex- position of three portions of the cxix Psalm, the lecturer said that the Bible was an inspired book, and a revelation to man of the care and goodness of God, and also of God's holy will. Without it man would be ignorant of himself, of God, and of the life of the world to come. The lecturer gave also the story of the Church's wonderful preservation of the Holy Scriptures, and concluded with an earnest appeal that such a priceless book should be taught in our day schools for the good of the rising generation. HOLT AND FARNDON. FIRE BRIGADE -The annual report containing receipts and n?yments up to November this year is published.

NOTES AND COMMENTS. I
NOTES AND COMMENTS. The Sam-lane and tha bye-road from Hope to Stryt Issa are in a wretched condition. We may expect the inhabitants of the houses, some day or other, t ) be hoisting signals of distress, their roads being impassable. The non-commissioned officers of F Company. 2nd V.B.R.W.F., had a meeting on Monday night, to arrange matters for a ball, which ii to surpass any- thing of the kind ever held here. I When the Coroner had thanked the jury for their attendance at the inquest at the Ffrwd on Wednes- day, a juror caustically remarked that they could not spend thanks." The Coroner rejoined it was their own fault, they should make representations to their member on the County Council, to bring the matter of jury's ex- penses before that body. The incident caused considerable amusement. It is to be hoped that the question of the Sarn Bridge will be discussed in a practical manner at the next Highway Board meeting. Practical men say this foot-bridge is positively dangerous, and, if not seen to, will assuredly entail loss of life. If the Highway Board do not take the matter up, it is in contemplation to call a vestry meeting at an early date. HAWARDEN.

The Vicar presided. The secretaries reported that above E500 had been promised towards the building fund, though only a portion of the town had been canvassed. The friends from Chirk having described some of the difficulties attending their efforts, said tlev were now confident that having something definite to work upon, the response to the application for subscriptions throughout their district would be more hearty and generous.

He begged to pro- pose that the Clerk write to Messrs. Richards, asking them if they would consent to call in the loans. It would greatly relieve the Board, and he had reason to believe that Messrs. Richards would call the loans in. However, there would he no harm in writing and asking them to do so.—The Clerk said that in 1SSG a Government Commission held an inquiry into the matter, and an order was granted the Board per mittingthem to repay 24,562 103 of their loans, which amounted in all to £ï,OOO odd. The persons who had lent the money ware communicated with, and not one of them would agree to call in the loans. However, there was no harm in trying agaiii.-In answer to questions, Mr Davies said he believe I Messrs. Richards held the greatest portion of the £ 4,502 10- Mr David Parry agreed with Mr Davies, but he was afraid that nothing would come of the matter, as fruitless efforts in the same direction had been made twice or thrice before.—The resolution was finally agreed to. THE LAMPS. Mr David Parry called the attention of the Works Committee to the state of the gas lamps.—It was de- cided that the Gas Company be written to on the matter. LLAY HALL.
