TRYDDYN FLOWER SHOW. I This show, which is fast gaining popularity in this district, was held on Monday in a marquee erected in a field adjacent to the Farmer's Inn. The weather was dull and threatening, but the show was well attended by a large number of spectators. The success which the show this year attained is con- siderably in advance of the show held last year, both with regard to the attendance and the quality and number of the exhibits, and the result is highly creditable to the committee, who labored most assiduously, especially the secretary, Mr Richard G. Williams, Tryddyn Stores, who rendered most valuable help throughout. The grounds were guarded by the committee and the utmost order prevailed. The interior of the marquee presented a very neat appearance, both in order and arrangem-nt. The vegetables, considering the district and the dryness of the season were most creditable. The tent seemed to be wanting in ornamental plants, which many gardens in the district might have furnished, and it is hoped that the committee will give this part some prominence next year. The fruit shown was very good, it being rather past the season for small fruits. The window plants were very creditable and were neatly arranged. A special feature of the show was the poultry and butter, a fine pair of dark red game being exhibited by Mr J. M. Roberts, The Schools. There was a good coilection of field produce, and some remarkably good specimens exhibited by Mr Jno. Ingman, Tryddyn, were debarred from com- petition by being sent in too late. The wild flowers were very good, being both varied and well made up. The butter was very good both in quantity and quality. Cut flowers were exhibited in great profusion, the asters, stocks, and hollyhocks being really good, and panse" very fair for the season. The bouquets were arranged with great taste. Messrs. James Dickson and Sons, Newton Nurseries, Chester exhibited some fine dahlias, gladioli, hyacinthus candicans, phloxes, carnations, asters, marguerittes, sunflowers, with a choice selection of herbaceous plants. Mr Edwards, Tryddyn, exhibited a tine model of a ship in crystalised salt, which was much admired. The refreshment tent was supplied by Mr Jno. Davies, Britannia Inn, Tryddyn. The following acted as judges—Messrs. Thomas Eliwyn, J. Howel, T. Jones, Hartsheath, Norbal, Chester; T. Nuttall, Coedtalon Thos. Ingman, Tryddyn Ed. Griffiths, Llan, Tryddyn George Ingman, Roberts, Nerquis Jno. Youd, Vron Jones, Nerquis; Miss Lloyd, Coedtalon; and Mrs Howel, Llanfynydd. Donations were received from Lord Rd. Giosvenor, M.P., Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, M.P., the Duke of Westminster, Capt. Frost, Col. Roper, Plasteg Mr Paul Price, Chester, &c. During the afternoon the Tryddyn Brass Band, under the leadership of Mr Thomas Edwards, gave some selections of music, and in the evening played for dancing, which was well patronised until evening closed in, wh a the National Anthem gave the signal for departur e.

MEMORIALS OF FLINTSHIRE MEN. CHAPTER VII. SAI.R«B\T.Y JOHX, was born at Bachvraiz. being son to John, by Elizabeth, daughter of John Ravenscroft, of Bretton, and grandson of Roger Salusbury, D. C. L., who had married Catherine, daughter of Sir Richard Clou h, by Catherine, of Berain. He was chosen member for the Flint Boroughs in 1040, but being a Royalist, who had followed Charles the First to Oxford, the House of Commons in 1043 unseated him, for deserting the service of the House, being in the King's quarters, and adhering to that party." On the restoration, he was named as one of the Knights to be enrolled in the new order of the "Royal Oak, but the merry monarch did no more than that, and of course the "order" had no existence but upon I paper. Mr Williams, in his records of Denbigh, has many references to this gentleman as Jun," for his father lived till 168o, ana so kept him out of the Bachyraig inheritance, until he was far ad vanced in life. SALUSBURY NORFOLK, the second son of Thomas and Anne Salusbury, was born at Bachyraig, and he was therefore sixth in descent from Catherine, of Beiain. He was a highly educated and cultured gentleman, pos essed wealth also through his marri- age, but living at Plas-y-ward, near Ruthin, he did not concern himself very much in the affairs of his native country. He died in 1736; but it is worth notice that his daughter Elizabeth married the Rev. Thomas Hughes, Incumbent of Llanfwrosr, and of Llandisiiio, in Denbighshire the:r son the Rev. Thomas Hughes, D.D., a Canon of St. Paul's, was preceptor to the Dukes of Cumberland, Sussex, and Cambridge, a native of Denbighshire, and a pupil at Ruthin School, and he was grandfather to his Honor, Judge Thomas Hughes, the well-known author of "Tom Brown's Schooldays," and of other modern works. SALISBURY THOMAS, though a son of Lleweni, is said to have been born at o the house of his aunt, Constance Stanley, of Ewloe, and this gives him a title to be noticed here. He married Margaret Hookes, of Leadbrook, near Flint, and so ac iuired possession of that estate. When he was we I established at Leadbrooke, his brother, Ffoulk Salis- bury, was dean of St. Asaph, and had renounced Popery his kinsman, William Salisbury, of Caedu, Llansannan-also a Reformer—was busily occupied in carrying through the press his curious Englyshe and Welshe Dictionary moche necessary to all suche Welshemen as wil spedly learne the Englyshe tongue." It is interesting, therefore, to know that he in like manner had accepted the new faith, and that he promoted it in every way he could. Bishop Wharton was a friend of his father's, and served him abun- dantly, by granting to him some leases of Church lands, to the great prejudice of the see of St. Asaph," thus fixing by that not very pleasant accusation, the period when Mr Salusbury was in a position to make a profitable bargain with a bishop. Wharton presided over the see of St. Asaph from 153o to 1555, and we are enabled in this way to determine the date when his son flourished in Flintshire, indeed he died in 1C02. His son and successor- SALUSBURY THOMAS, married Jane Massie, of Cod- dington, in Cheshire, and had by her sons and fifteen daughters, and was a far greater man than his father and withal a native of Flintshire. He was a ripe scholar, a pushing active man of the world, a confined and somewhat persecuting Protestant, warmly attached to Queen Elizabeth, and no friend to the Puritanic faction who would deprive her majesty of that spiritual dominion which the prince claimed to exercise in England." So short a record as this conveys to us a whole volume of history. It is evident how entirely wedded this gentleman must have been to things as they were, how sternly he would have put down the professors of the old faith who came within the grasp of his power, and how ruthlessly he would stop the progress of every new- fangled notion that called in question the supremacy of the queen in matters ecclesiastical. Some of our very best Jjlintshire tamuies proceed irom him, his daughter, Jane, was great grandmother to the eminent Robert Davies, of Gwysaney and Llanerch. The brave Col. Morgan, of Golden Grove, could trace his descent from him, the Starkeys in like manner, the Johnes of Halkin, and Dean Brooke, of Chester, who died in 1757. His eldest son— SALUSBURY THOMAS, married Frances Ravenscroft, of Bretton, in Flintshire. He was living in 1G3S, fpr he signed a document to certify that Ffoulk Salisbury, alderman of Chester, was a gentleman by birth and descent. His father was then alive, for, according to Mr Williams, he was in that year sworn burges of Denbigh as Thomas Salusbury, the younger, of Lead- brook. This said Thomas "the younger" had a daughter who married a Lloyd, and they a son who was a daft lad he died young, and upon his death Madame Lloyd entrusted the management of her property to Owen Brereton she died, and the manager got the property, and assumed her maiden name. We must draw a veil over that chapter in Leadbrook history, but in less than a century from this time all the pride and consequence of this branch of the family had become a thing of the past, so far as Flintshire was concerned; their name remained, and their blood continued it is true, but only in the veins of a poor and uneducated race who had descended from it in the male line, their lands had gone to strangers, the Breretons owned them for some time, then the Trelawneys, and now they have passed from them to others, but neither misfortune nor misadventure have succeeded in blotting out their remembrance; and we have thus another instance of the truth of the old Welsh adage, Hwy y pery clod na golud." SALUSBURY, THOMAS, was born at Bachegraig in the year 1711, being the son of Thomas and Lucy Salusbury of that place, and uncle to the celebrated Mrs Pi-zzi. He was brought up to the law, and practiced at Doctor's Commons. In 174G he was appointed secretary to George, Earl of Halifax justice in Eyre, south of Kent; judge of the Admi- ralty Court; and commissary to the Dean and Chap- ter of St. Paul's and in 1753 he was made Chancellor of the Diocese of St. Asaph. He married for his first wife Anne Maria, only child and heiress of Sir Henry Penrice. She died 17.-),), and he then married the Hon. Mrs King. obtaining with her a considerable estate in Hertfordshire. He died in 1773. SPARK THOMAS, was burn at Northop in the year 1G55, and was educated at Westminster and Christ Church, Oxford. Having taken holy orders, he was appointed Chaplain to Judge Jeffreys, and his patrons afterwards bestowed upon him several preferments in the church. He published several works, some of them learned and in 1GS7 his University made him a D.D. He seems to have held the rectories of Eschaunt in Surrey, Dorton in Lincolnshire, and the Prebendaries of Lichfield and Rochester at the time of his death, 1G92. STANLEY EDWARD, the very first member for the Flint Boroughs of whom there is any record, was a native of the town it is believed, and a member of the distinguished family of his name, who had gained a settlement in the county by the transfer to his ances- tors from Saxton of the lands in Hopedale, which in 1403 had been taken from Howell Gwynedd on his execution at Flint in that year but I have not been able to distinguish whether he derived from Edward Stanley who married Margaret Stanley, or from Robert, second son of Pyers, who married Jane Par- ker. He appears to have been chosen M.P. for Flint in 1547 and 1553, and aaain in 1555, and is probably the very person who in 1539 held the lands mentioned by Mr Taylor, when referring to a charter granted in that year by John Bathyn to Peter ap Richard ap Hoell to hold a messuage and lands in the town of Flint. STANLEY PETER, one of the gentlemen ushers of King Henry VIII's chambers, was a Flintonian, and son, I think. to Peter Stanley, who died in 1521. They had both derived from the great Welsh family of their name and the gentleman at the head of this note had granted to him in the twenty-eighth year of Henry VIII, "a lease for forty years of the manor of Ewloe," with all its profits, issues, and minerals, and also of the King's Mill at Flynt, and also the per- quisites of the court of the town, together with the tolls of the markets and fairs held there." I suspect he had died before 1575, for Mr Henry Taylor, on the authority of Lord Hanmer, says that Queen Elizabeth in that year had granted to Launcelot Bostock the courts and fair tolls of Flint now or late granted and demised to one Peter Stanley, Esq." STANLEY, PYERS, son of Sir William Stanley, who was sheriff of Flint 14G1—14S3, was born in Flint- shire, the very first of the race who could say he was a native Welshman. He was great grandson to Sir William Stanley, of Hooton, and when a young man he married Constance Salusbury, youngest daughter of old Thomas Salusbury, of Lleweni. His father appointed his son Peter (brother to Pyers) his deputy 14G1—1463, and Pyers' brother-in-law, Thomas Silus- bury (son of old Thomas, of Lleweni) his deputy in 1470. Pyers and Constance had a son Pyers, who married Jane Ruthin they had a son Pyers, who married Jane Parker and they had a son Edward, who married Margaret, daughter of Sir James Stanley, of C'rosshills, Lancashire. Their son Robert married Alice Salisbury, of Leadbrook, and all these generations were Flintonians, and of course the Stanleys in this way, and in this line, became thoroughly identified with the Welsh interests. TRAWST, V. ELIS. It will have been seen how the Lady Trawst found her way to these sheets in the accounts we have given of her son, but we notice her for another purpose, and to show how there was in a Christian Temple at a place called Harden, in the king- dom of North Wales, a Rood loft, in which was placed an image of the Virgin Mary, with a very large crúss which was in the hands of the image, called Holy Rood. '"About this time there happened a very hot and dry summer, so dry that there was not grass for cattle, upon which most of the inhabitants went and prayed to the image, or Holy Rood, that it would cause it to rain, but to no purpose. Amongst the rest, the Lady Trawst (whose husoand s name was Sytsyllt, a nobleman and governor of Harden Castle) went to pray to the said Holy Rood, and she praying earnestly and long the image, or Holy Rood, fell down upon her head and killed her." Thereupon there was a great uproar, and a iury impannelled to try the Holy Rood. She was found guilty of the murder of the Lady Trawst, and eventually she was condemned to be cast into the River Dee, and the next day the said image was found drowned and dead upon the low lands near the walls of Chester, upon which the good 1 people of the city reverently buried it on the spot where it was found, and erected a monument of stone I a TY]CIL,,imer.,t of stone over it with this inscription :— The Jew3 their God did crucify, The Hardeners their s did drown, Cause with their wants she'd not comply, And cow lies beneath this cold stone.' The Rood-Eye, Chester, it is said, derived its riarie from that circumstance; the Hardeners theirs of The Hawarden Jews" in like manner, and to this hour pilgrims seek for the grave on the Roodee, and then wend their way to Hawarden for image worship, for some will have it that the Holy Rood is to be seen there even nuw. But the Lady Trawst, who was born there, who remained, and died there, has no stone set up in her memory. Upon a bright moonlight night in winter, her troubled spirit is said to stand over the spot where her hallowed dust lies, and then melts away into nothingness. May her memory never perish, for so good and pious & daughter deserves to be kindly thought of for all time by the people oi her own native county. TUDOR SHON- is, I think, justly claimed by Flint- shire as a son. He was a chorister at the St. Asaph Cathedral in his boyhood, and rose to be registrar of the Ecclesiastical Court in that city, taking up his residence at Wigvair. He graduated as a Pen- cerdd" at the Eigteddvod held at Caerwys in 156S and we know from his printed productions how eminent a bard he became, and how his genius and wit secured for him a high place among his brethren. ] He is said to have translated some of the Psalms into Welsh verse, and he was known as the friend and correspondent of Gwilyin Ganoldref. He died in TREVOR RICHARD, a Flintonian, born, near Mold, it is said, b the year 14*1, has the credit of being a learned Welshman who collected a considerable number of old manuscripts, of which he made a fair copy, which eventually got into the hands of John Jones, of Gelli." He claimed to be of the March line, just as the Trevors of Trevalyn and their branches did but I am certain his namesake, who died in London in Itj7G, was no descendant of his, he being the second son of Sir John Trevor, of Trevalyn, and a Denbighshire man. Mv own im- pression is that the gentleman placed at the head of this note was a priest, or monk, and that he had descended from the Trevurs of Trevor, some members of that house being devout Churchmen. TYLSTON KATHARINE, second daughter of the Rev. Philip Henry, was born at Broad Oak, in the year 1665. She married Jonn Tylston, M.D., in 1687, and 1\ died at Chester in 1748. She was not so eminent as a writer as other members of her family, but there are MS. of hers in existence which show how well she could write, aud how entirely devoted she was to religion, and the spiritual welfare of the human race. As the child of Philip Henry, and sister of Matthew Henry, if for no other reason, she should always be remembered as an eminent Flintonian. WHITLEY ROGER, was the eldest son of Thomas Whitley, of Aston, in this county, by Elizabeth Brereton. He was a colonel in the army of King Charles the First, and knight and harbinger to King Charles the second. Having accompanied the latter sovereign into exile, he was deputed by him to carry his orders to Lord Delamere to raise the Cheshire forces, and eventually he represented the Flint Boroughs in the Parliaments of hiGO, IGGl, and 1(578-9. In the latter year he stood for Chester, and beat Sir Thomas Grosvenor. In 1690 he entertained King William III, at his house, Peel Hall, near Tarvin, in Cheshire, when on his way to Ireland. In 1092 he was made Mayor of Chester, and again in 1G93, 4, and 5, and he died in July, 1697. WILLIAMS, ROWLAND. This eminent, courageous, and ill-used, man was born at Halkin, in the year 1S17, and he died at Broad Chalke Vicarage, Wiltshire, in the year 1870. His honoured father, the Rev. Rowland Williams, was a native of Mallwyd. where he was born in 1779, and he died rector of Ysgifiog, and rural dean of Holywell, in 1854. The son, the subject of this note, had made a name for himself, as a scholar, writer, and vice-principal of St. David's College, long before he became famous as a writer of essays and reviews. His Lays from the Cimbric Lyre." published in 1846; "Rational Godliness," pub- lished in 1855; "Christianity and Hinduism," published in 185ü; Orestes and the Avengers," published in 1857, eacb, in their respective ways had opened to us the inner character of the man but we saw him in another light, in his quarterly magazine articles on Methodism in Wales (1849), The Church and Education in Wales (1850), and The Bards of the Sixth Century (1852) and his article in Essays and Reviews (1860), might be said to have been the out-pourings of a soul that had been longing to see the truth for itself, and to find a resting place for faith and hope in God. How far he gained all this for himself, or conveyed the same to others by that contribution to our literature it is not for us to determine, but all who loved the man, and had been able to appreciate his high principles, and simple devotion to duty, would hasten to admit that he was animated in all he said, or wrote by the noblest principles, and the deepest convictions that he was in the right. The persecution he underwent was there- fore unworthy of the age, and of the Church, and now that he has gone to his rest, we Welshmen, cling lovingly to his memory, and are proud that he was of our nation,a genuine son of our soil. In 1866, he pub- lished the first volume of his Hebrew Prophets"; and just as he was dying he perfected the correction of the proofs of Owen Glendower" which his widow published in the year of his decease. The same loving hand carried through the press, after- wards, in 1871, the second volume of the Hebrew Prophets the Psalms and Litanies," in 1872 and in 1878 Stray Thoughts," from his note-book, and if to all this be added the pamphlets Mr Williams wrote and published, we have the abiding evidencies in possession of the friend we so affectionately revered the Flintonian, who added so much to the lustre of his native county by his own ability and of the servant of the Great Master, who dutifully sat at His feet on earth, and is now For ever with the Lord."—So let it be. WILLIAMS, WILLIAM, a native of Flintshire, was sent to Cambridge for his education, and obtained his M.A. degree there in 1722. We meet with him next at Huntingdon as prior of the Austin Canons, but in 1532 he resigned that office on a yearly pension in money, and a grant of food, drink, fuel, and the use of a chamber for life. He does not seem to have acknowledged the' royal supremacy in 1534, but a few years afterwards he joined his fellows in a surrender to the king, and proceeded to Holywell to reside, where it is supposed he died about 1551. WYNNE JOHN, of Copalleni, Newmarket, in Flint- shire, had been educated for the bar, and rose to eminence in his profession, and must always be men- tioned with reverence by the Nonconformists of North Wales, not only for the substantial proof s he gave them of his friendship but also for the cordial assistance he rendered to them whenever his advice or countenance was required. He was sturdy in his attachment to the cau e of civil and religious liberty, a genuine dissenter in religion, and of marked purity in life and conversation. Being a gentleman of pro- perty he was upon terms of social intercourse with the gentry of North Wales, he smoothed away many of their prejudices, aga'nst Nonconformists, explained their principles, justified their proceedings, main- tained their right to legal protection, and thus secured for them a measure of liberty upon the borders of Flintshire and of Denbighshire, which in time proved most valuable to their successors all over North Wales. Old Sir Roger Mostyn used to declare with an oath that John Wynne was a better Christian than all the parsons put together," a bullish sor, of compliment but sincere, for it had the Mostyn oath" behind it, a sure sign of deeD feeling on the part of the Mostyns. The late Sir Thomas Mostyn when presiding at a Bible meeting at Holy- well, declared upon his honour that it was "a devilish good society" and most deserving of support but we must not conclude that those vain words were used pro- fanely, for the gentry of former generations, simply followed the fashions of the day, and they did so, with- out much reflection, as to whether they were good or bad in themselves. WYNNE JOHN, second son of John Wynne, was born in 1667, at Maes-y-coed, Caerwys. He was educated at Northop, Ruthin, and Oxford and after he had taken orders in the Church, he became chap- lain to the Earl of Pembroke. In 1705 he was chosen Margaret Professor of Divinity at Oxford, and with it he gained a canonry at Worcester. In 1712, he he- came Principal of Jesus College, Oxford, and in 1714 Bishop of St. Asaph. In 1827 he was translated to Bath and Wells, and in 1743 he died, his remains being buried in Northop Church. His abridgement of Locke's Essay on the Human Understanding, was so well approved of that it was translated into French, and it is said that, a sermon of his was published. WYNNE GEORGE, of Leeswood, Bart., was the gentleman who contested Flint with Sir John Glynne, Bart., of Hawarden. He is said to have expended £70,000 upon that election, but he won the day, and who can wonder at it, seeing his opponent only spent £ 35,000 He was petitioned against, but he kept his seat in politics, he was a Whig, and of course a sup- porter of the Hanoverian Succession to the Crown of these realms. I am inclined to think he was born at Flint, of rather humble parentage, but his father was a successful miner, and thus riches were poured into the son's lap. It is said that days of adversity came upon him afterwards, and that he died at Flint Castle. WYNNE THOMAS, is supposed to have been born at Caerwys, and to have been a member also of the family of his name, living at Maes-y- coed, but he was evidently a Quaker, for in 1677, he published a hook to show the anti- quity and scriptural character of the faith held by the Friends. He did not gain much applause by his well- meant service, and iiil679,we meet with him again in a small thing answering "Work for a Cooper, being an answer to a libel written by Thomas Wynne the Cooper, the Alemani, the Quack, and the Speaking Quaker. It is the old, old story, when human pride is set up tor conscience, and men so often do things for God, which had far better have been left undone In thanking you for your very great kindness in hndimr room for these scanty and imperfect records of Flintshire men, I should like to say that there are very many more of them that should be added to the lists I have sent to you. My spirit is very willing to undergo the pleasurable toil of bring- ing them together, but age, and the sore trials of a somewhat lonely life, have tended to make the flesh weak, and I am unable therefore to do as much work as in the old times, when labor was rest, both to body and mind. I am completing these notes on a day that should always be remembered by Welshmen as a red one in their history the four hundreth anniversary of the battle of Bosworth, when Henry Tudor gained the crown of these realms. How much of his Ruccess on that occasion was due to Flintonians is well known to most readers of the annals of Wales for Richard ap Howell, of Mostyn, marched to Bosworth at the head of a numerous and brave contingent of Flintshire men. The King's Window at Old Mostyn Hall was one of the wonders I loved to think of as a lad, and now, when my eyes are growing dim, and the places which I once knew I shall know no more for ever, I cannot forget how much of my love for the antiquarian records of my native county, is due to my boyish visits to Mostyn and to Downing to look at the precious relics which had been gathered in those old homes, as reminders of the Wales, and of the Welsh which had passed and gone. Nor do I forget how Henry Parry, of Llanasa, and Richard Llwyd, of Chester, gave me a taste for all that was Cambrian, until it had begotten in my heart an affection for my country, my countrymen, its literature, and its lore. whi:h can only end with my life, and then so much only I hope, for I have tried in the flesh, to do my poor share in the work of keeping up an interest in these things, and never with more pleasure than in trying to preserve the remembrance of some of our Flintshire worthies, that I am disposed to believe that some part of this may live when all that is mortal of me will have ceased to be.

Mr Gladstone on Thursday took part in an inte- resting family ceremony at Fasque House, Kincar- dineshire. namely, the celebration of the "golden wedding" of his elder brother, Sir Thomas Gladstone, B&rt., and his lady, and it was this interesting occasion whic-h brought the ex-Premier's Dresent visit to the north. In the evening fifty married servants who have been many years in Sir Thomas' service, were presented w:th a .sovereign in commemoration of the baronet's fifty years of wedded life.

BROUGHTON HALL. PETTY SESSIONS, THURSDAY.—Before W. H. Gladstone, E-q., M. P., W. Johnson, W. Tnom, and W. C. Jones, Esqrs. The Lit-ciiscs. -This beinlt the annual brewster sessions for the petty sessional division, the first busii.ess was the renewal of the licenses. There h..d been no conviction recorded against any house during the year. and the business therefore was of a purely formal character.—Mr Churton applied on behalf of I- '%tr Samuel Aston, of the Castle Hill, Shotton, or the Nine Houses, near Connah'? Quay, for a spirit license. The hou?e had been licensed for the sale of ale and porter for thirty-four years, nfteen of them during the tenancy of the applicant, whose conduct of the house had been of the most exemplary character. 11 .1 't L Mr Churton said it was iequiretl Dy Lile innaoitaius, and also by some alterations which were being made on the railway. A good character was given the house by the police.—The magistrates having retired to consider their decision, returned to the Court, and the Chairman said that the magistrates were of opinion that under the present circumstances of the neighbourhood a spirit license was unnecessary.—Mr Churton then applied for a wine license, which the magistrates granted. Taking an Apple T)-ce.-A man named Humphrey Humphreys was charged by Samuel Hewitt, of Burnt- wood, Pentre, Buckley, for whom Mr Churton appeared, with stealing the stump of an apple tree which was lying on the side of the road, and which was valued at six shillings. It was said that two horses had brought it, but that the defendant took it away himself. The defendant said that he had been told by a Mr James Newton to take it. lie had done so but had he known it was Hewitt's he would not have taken it. James Newton was called and said that the stump had been there for three years, and had been lying in a ditch under his hedge, and he told the defendant at last to take it away. He added that it took two horses to bring it, and two women to take it away. (Laughter.) "Yes, we have some noble women in Buckley." (Renewed Laughter.) A good deal of teeling seemed to be im- ported into the matter, and the magistrates thought they could not deal with it as it was not larceny. The case was therefore dismissed. Drunkenness.—Thomas Donelly, W. Lloyd, and Patrick Pritt, were charged by Sergt. McBride with being drunk and disorderly in the Farmers' Arms, Saltney, on the 15th of August. There was a quart jug half full of ale on the table. He called the attention of the landlady to the state they were in, and she then ordered them out. Lloyd went out, but the other two refused and had to be put out. Donelly was fined 5s and 5s costs, Pritt 2s 6d and 6s costs, and Lloyd 5s costs.—George Challoner, for having been drunk and disorderly at Hawarden on the 8th of Sep- tember, was tined 5s and costs.—Charles Millington, drurk and disorderly at the same time and place, fined 2s 6d and costs. Obstruction on the High ivays.-George Henry Johnson and Joseph Peters, two boys about eleven or twelve years of age, were charged by Mr W. Newton, highway surveyor, with placing some stones on the highway at Buckley, and so making it dangerous for the traffic.—Mr Newton said he did not wish to press the case, but the practice was on the "increase, and he wished them to be cautioned.—The two were cautioned, and promised not to offend again. Xfeighbours' Qmirrels.—Mrs Wainwright, of Brough- ton, was charged by Mrs Selina Wilson, a neighbour, with assaulting her. The two were very voluble, and occupied much of the time of the Board some two months ago, and this was a renewal of the quarrel, and seeing that one of the parties had left the neigh- bourhood, and Mr Johnson said they were glad to get rid of them, the case was dismissed. One of them was fined 5s and costs and the other 3-i 6d and costs. Damaging a Lock.-Williarn Edwards, a young lad of seventeen or eighteen, was charged by Air Charles Brookfield, of Buckley, with having put some sheep into his yard, and to do so took a bar and broke the lock, doing damage to the extent of 3s. The defendant said he had provided a new lock, and had been told to take the sheep into the yard.—The case was adjourned for further evidence. COEDPOETH AND MINERA. THE PENYGELLI STONE QUARRY.—This quarry is now witnessing a revival of its former prosperity, and steam, as was formerly the case, has jut been pressed into the service of its managers. On Friday some of the men were opening a block of stone when, in the middle of the piece, a curious geological phenomenon presented itself in the shape of what were once two chesnuts, but which, in the course of ages, had been metamorphosed into stone, both in color and apparent quality. The nuts were broken during the operations, and the kernels were found quite loose in the shell* and they had also become of the same color and quite as hard as the stircounding stone.

PLEASANT AFTERNOONS.—By the kind permission of Mr Gladstone, the last of a series of outings in con- nection with Christ Church, Rhyl, took place on Monday to Hawarden. About 120 persons took advantage of it. The castle grounds were thrown open, and as the weather was favorable a most enjoy- able time was spent. Tea was provided in the National Schoolroom, kindly lent by the Hector, to whom cordial thanks were voted, on the motion of Rev. D. B. Hooke, seconded by Mr R. S. Peet. These afternoons will soon be followed by the usual Pleasant Evening entertainments, the first being given on the last Monday in this month. ST. ASAPH. TRANSFERRED.—Two persons were committed to Ruthin Gaol on Tuesday for fourteen days each with hard labor, John Williams, a one handed tramp, for saying he had no money when soliciting a resting place at the workhouse, and a woman for deserting her family.

SINGULAR FATAL ACCIDENT TO A CLEttGYMAN AT THREAPWOOD. On Monday, an inquest was held at the Queen's Head Inn, Sarn Bridge, Threapwood, near Malpas, before Mr John Pay, coroner, and a jury, of whom Mr Thomas Birch was the foreman, on the body of the Rev. William Cobbold Vaughan, curate of Han- mer, who had met with his death on the previous Saturday under very singular circumstances. It appears that deceased, who had only lately been married, was goimr round the parish on his usual duties. He had left his pony and trap in charge of his wife in the road, when the pony appeared to take fright at a load of oats passing, and deceased ran to assist his wife. At this moment he was struck by a. pikel or ran against it, and one of the prongs of the pikel penetrated his chest and must have entered. either the lung or heart, for deceased died before a doctor could be sent for. The Coroner, in opening the inquiry, expressed the great sorrow he felt at the melancholy accident which had brought them to- gether. Matthew Henry Lee, vicar of Hanmer, inilentified the body as that of William Cobbold Vaughan. Richard Povall said he was in the employ of Mr Henry Griffiths on the day in question. Witness was not regularly employed by Mr Griffiths. About three o'clock in the afternoon witness was on the top of a load of oats. He had had no beer that day, nothing but tea. Witness was not a teetotaler. There was some straw on the top of the lofd. Witness saw a lady in the road in charge of a pony and trap, but he did not see a gentleman at that time. Witness did not know who the lady was. Mr Henry Griffiths had hold of the horse s head. When they came opposite to the trap witness heard the pony making a noise, and Mrs I v augnan screamed, and she seemed to think the pony was going to run away. This frightened the horse in the cart, and it gave a spring, which threw witness off the load. The pikel produced was on the load, but not in witness's hand. It was in the fourth thripple. Witness fell off on his side on the road, and when he got up he saw deceased falling down. The pikel was on the ground. Witness did not see the pikel strike deceased, nor could witness account for it falling. Witness helped to get some water for deceased, and they also gave deceased soni2 brandy, which he swallowed. Deceased spoke, and said he felt rather better. Witness then helped to put him in his own trap, and send him home. The pikel was on the ground, about one yard from where witness was, with the prongs towards decoded. Witness would swear that he did not see the pikel fall, witness's impression was that deceased was trying to pass between the cart and trap to stop his pony, when he was struck by the' pikel or ran against it. Witness helped to remove deceased. Witness was not a native of the parish — By the Foreman The load was not bound with a rope. Witness d.d not catch hold of the pikel when Wn "T Cn;)ro"er Witness was lying down on the top of ?the iload when the horse started. Henry Griffiths corroborated the evidence of the last witness. He said that on the day in question he had employed last witness to help in carrying a f P- w oats. He did not give last witness anything but tea I to drink and he was quite sober at the time of the accident. Povall was on the top of the load, and witness was in charge of the horse. Witness had given him strict orders to mind that he did not fall on. When they came up witness saw Mrs Vaughan ir nLle P0n^,8 C head the pony was drawn up close to the hedge. As witness was passing Mrs Vaughan screamed, and this caused the horse to spring, wh?ch gave rise to the accident. Witness was trying tohSo? on to his horse, and when he looked round he?v the last witness on the ground. Ir Vaughan was not on Itthl e ground, but he fell directly afterwards. uavid Eiii.3 Wag then called to give evident as to his stopping Mr Vaughan's pony, but he did not see the accident. He helped to remove deceased. The Coroner then summed up, stating that it was very satisfactory to know that no one appeared to be to blame in the matter. The jury returned a verdict that deceased was accidently killed by a pikel penetrating into a vital part of his body, having fallen from a load of oat.. Sympathy waa expressed with deceased's widow in her bereavement The Liverpool Da? Post says that Mr Vaughan w?a an old Liverpool Institute scholar.
