TØK Wrexham Guardians have decided to provide additional accommodation for tramps. EXTENSIVE alterations and improvements are contemplated at St. Mark's Church. The sub- scriptions promised amount to the gratifying sum of J6420. THE Committee of the Ceiriog Vale Indus- trial and Art Exhibition are arranging with several other Art Associations for exhibits for the August meeting. THE vexed question of repairing Sarn Bridge came before the Hope Vestry on Friday. It was decided to ask the Highway Board to take the matter in hand. THE Dee Salmon Fishery, according to Major Leadbetter's report, is in a more satisfactory state than it has been for years. Last year waa an exceptionally good one for net fishing. AN inquiry as to the water supply was held at Malpas on Tuesday. Mr Hodson said he had never seen such an effective way of attempt- ing to poison people as they had at Malpas. ON Thursday the St. Asaph Guardians con- firmed the resolution to proceed against the Rhyl Water Company. It was stated that the present daily supply was 176, instead of 1,800, gallons. ON Wednesday a crowded meeting was held at Ruthin to protest against the proposal of the Joint Education Committee to utilise a portion of the Grammar School endowment for the benefit of other schools in the county. MR Charles Bradlaugh, M. P., died at his London residence at half-past six yesterday (Friday) morning from an attack of cardiac asthma. Be was in his fifty-seventh year. and had sat for Northampton in Parliament since 1880. The Welsh Baptists at Rhos have wiped off the chapel debt. At the school on Sunday afternoon upwards of £261 was collected, being a few pounds more than was required. The same school last July collected JE309. THE shareholders of the North and South Wales Bank held their annual meeting on Tues- day. The profits on the past year are larger than they have ever been before, while the prospects of the bank are better than they have been for many years. IN our correspondence columns will be found an important letter from Dr Dobbie on the subject of technical education. The writer, while commending the excellent example set, says a larger sum than was granted in Flint- shire should in each county be set apart fur the purposes of technical as distinguished from in- termediate education, and that the administra- tion of the money should be kept outside of the proposals of the Joint Education Com- mittee. I THE announcement of the birth of a son and heir at Wynnstay has been everywhere received with the greatest interoat. Church bells merrily rang in town and village, rejoicings have been held by the tenantry, and congratulatory addresses adopted by various public bodies. The House of Wynnstay has played a notable part in the history of the past, and for the latest possessor of an historic name there is but one desire expressed, that he may like his ancestors worthily fulfil the duties of a high and responsible position. HAVE the police been in the habit of acting as game beaters ? This was a matter which occupied considerable attention at the meet- ing of the Flintshire Police Committee on Thursday. It was alleged that the constables had been pressed in the service of shooting parties as beaters, while, on the other hand, the value of their services in this respect was lightly estimated by some of the justices. It is acknow- ledged, however, that an occasional pheasant or rabbit has found its way to the rural constable's table, but in view, possibly, of the action of the Committee, it is somewhat uncertain whether in the future this often-maligned official will enjoy such dainty fare. DURING the week the Unionists have been engaged educating the electors of Flintshire. The campaign opened with an attack on the Hawarden fortress, led by Sir W. T. Charley, common sergeant of London. The proceedings passed off very smoothly, and the National Schools were placed at their disposal. Perhaps the authorities elsewhere will note the treat- ment accorded the Unionists at Hawarden. Sir Robert Cunliffe has addressed a meeting at Hhyl. a small gathering has met at St. Asaph, and, amongst other places, addresses have been delivered at Caergwrle. Here some novel state- ments were made. It seems that the Irish mem- bersdollotrepresentIreland. they are not in touch with the Irish people, and that being so it is rather singular they are to be found at St. Stephen's. Columbia, a Welsh-English newspaper, pub- lished at Emporia, Kansas, pleads for the hold- ing of the National Eisteddvod of 1893, at Chicago,asthe Welshsection of the World's Fair. In support of the proposition it quotes the fact that there are 300,000 Welsh-speaking persons in the States, and that there are 400,000 others who are of pure Welsh lineage. The director of the World's Fair, Col. Davies, is a pure Welshman. If there is any truth in the rumor that Pontypridd has abandoned the idea of holding the Eisteddvod of 1893, it ia just pos- sible that the claims of Chicago may be enter. tained favorably but as everything must be done in order, we shall expect to see a deputa- tion from the city (which will include the Mayor) at Swansea Eisteddvod this year. with a petition from the citizens of Chicago, praying foi the privilege. A hint to Noncon- formists. IN another column we give a paragraph which refers to a lecture given in Wrexham on Church History. From the Establish- ment's point of view it was highly successful, and the lecturer stated his case with care and much fairness. We do not say that he wilfully suppressed facts, but of course he had his case to make out, and no doubt another lecturer having another cause dear to his heart, would have shown how exactly the historical boot fitted the other leg. The lecturer made the first attack we have ever heard having been made upon Mr Palmer's well known book on Non- conformist history, and the public will be interested in hearing our townsman's reply to the charge, which was made against him. We think the attack was delivered in a way which will not commend it to all. and it is not a little curious that the works of a writer which have been reviewed with approval by such an authority as the Atheivpum, have not been brought to judgment before if there ia any ground for the charge. But Mr Palmer is quite able to take care of himself, and it was not with regard to this incident that we set out to write. Our object was this-Episoopalianism has set out its historic claims with much force, but has not Nonconformity a history also as full of interest, and as full of importance as the other form of faith I If this is so why do not Nonconformists particularly Congrega- tionalists and Presbyterians-take to the plat- form, and tell us their history I With lantern views and a good lecturer, an active propogauda could be prosecuted. The use of the lantern is now becoming more and more recognised as a means of education, slides are cheap, and there are many Nonconformists who would be only too willing to learn the historical reason-for the theological onethey know-why they are separate from the Establishment. We venture to give this hint to those who can and should act upon it. The Town Council. The Wrexham Town Council, on Tuesday, had a right busy day, and they despatched a lot of busi- I ness. The birth of a son at Wynnstay formed the subject of a congratulatory vote, and although it is somewhat difficult to see what the Town Council had to do with it, it was a grace- ful tribute to an historical house. Alderman Jno. Jones spoke upon the subject in that in- teresting way he can do when he has the mind, and the whole proceedings was a pleasant begin- I ning to a smooth meeting. Mr Frank Lloyd's proposal to lease the Beast Market and the Smithfield for use upon certain days for five years upon payment of a small sum, was an application as far as we know, without pre- cedent. The decision was wise, because the thorny question of the tolls has been avoided, It is to be hoped that neither Mr Lloyd. who has done gooi work in establishing his horse fairs-nor the Council will regret the bargain, and we see no reason why they should. The cab shelter, that subject ever fresh and ever cropping up, was discussed, and Mr Murless's proposal to send the cabbies to the Guildhall square was met by a proposal which post. poned the question to the General Purposes Committee pending reports. There is more formality consumed over this question than over the making of an increase in the rates, and it is a pity that the Council cannot settle the question once for all. In the meantime cabby, whom all the members profesa to have the greatest regard for, is to stand shivering in the cold and rain, or else seek refuge in a convenient public-house. • The serioui outburst of typhoid fever which was reported upon by Dr. Evans gives food for thought. Our readers have heard of How the Poor Live in London. If they r want to know how the poor live in Wrexham we commend a perusal of Dr. Evans' report, which is unconsciously pathetic. There are people in Wrexham, as elsewhere, who are not above taking rent for horrible erections such as crowd the neighbourhood of the fever-stricken den. We hope that if law cannot reach this class public opinion will. and that the lash of acorn which all well-wishers of their fellow-mortals will apply to such people will have its due effect. The Council is doing good work with insanitary dwellings. We wish them every success, and in their crusade against defective and unhealthy houses they are rendering service of the noblest kind. The Tithe Bill. THE New Tithe Bill which the Government got into Committee on December 4th. after a ppirited attack by the Welsh members, does not appear to give entire satisfaction even to Tories of the most sincere type. It does not suit Welshmen and it does not suit Churchmen in short, it is looked upon with suspicion by those who might be supposed to be its friends, while on the other hand, those who represent the nationalisation theory, gaze upon it with absolute dislike. Whatever point of view ia taken, the prospect it presents ia unsatisfactory. Welsh Liberals, and among them are many deeply religious men who would rather lose their right hands than injure any form of religious belief, natur- ally regard the Bill as useless, and the time consumed in discussing it wasted because it only requires a few years until the whole ques- tion must again come up for consideration, when it will be settled in the only way which will be sufficient and final. There is no necessity to do more than indicate that way—it is held, and we coincide most sincerely in the opinion, that Tithe is national property therefore the nation has the undoubted power of applying that pro- perty in a way which commends itself to the minds of the majority of the people. We do not believe that when the settlement is made, that auy attempt will be formulated to do wrong to anyone. The whole question must be fairly and equitably dealt with, and this being so we do not quite understand the cry that is made about robbery" and spoliation." So much then for what may be termed our side of the question. We said in opening that the Bill is not loved- by the tithe owners, and in proof of this we would call into court the Rev. Henry Hayman, D.D., secretary to the Tithe-owner's Union, together with his letter, which appears in The National Church for this month. Dr. Hayman states that there are three cardinal points in the Bill which must be amended, or the compact of 1836 will be wrecked, and the tithe-owner drift away into a precarious annuitant." He states that the security of the tithe-owner, as guaranteed by the Act of 1836, lies in the liability, not of the owner or the occupier, but of the land itself. This principle was stated to Sir Michael Hicks Beach in an interview, and in reply he said, No, not of the land, but of the produce." The tithe-owners reply was, but if the tithe-owner'a claim be not satisfied by distraint on produce, stock, &c., he has the right to enter on possession and occupation of the land itself, and work his claim out of it." To this Sir Michael made no reply, but we venture to think, like the cabby who was handed the exact fare by the old lady, he thought a lot." And little wonder, for the principle seems to us so grasping and un- charitable, that Sir Michael might well have wished himself among the railway rates again. If tithe-owners have the right of entering the land and working out their rent-charge, why not tax collectors ? Fancy the Union officials ploughing, and the overseers sowing, and the assistant-overseers reaping But this by the way. Such, according to Dr. Hayman, seems to be and very likely is the power of the tithe- owner, and instead of receiving the County Court process and the receiver, which the Bill provides with the accompanying costs, he wants to be entitled to have his old remedy, as pro- vided by the Act of 1836 and subsequent Tithe Acts. The Second objection is to the proposal that when the rent-charge exceeds two-thirds of the annual value of the farm it is to be reduced by the Court. Dr. Hayman points out that this provision gives the landlord a share of the rent-charger's property when things are not prosperous, but it gives the latter no increase when things begin to mend." From this, it is very evident that the proposed Bill will not increase the union between the landed interest and Church, but it is a Tory Government's doings, and we say no more. Dr Hayman and his Union urge that the section which contains this provision should be omitted. The Third objection is to Section 2 (1) which will enact that the tithe must be three months in arrear before recovery can commence. The learned Doctor points out that it seems to be wholly forgotten that the clerical rent-charge is not an absolute property, but is dependent upon services rendered. We agree with him that where services are rendered the payment should be prompt, but may it nut be pointed out that many business houses give at least three months' grace to their customers. B-Jt what does Dr. Hayman mean by "services rendered ?" Further on he says "Those duties are not a personal quid pro quo to the payer. They are essentially public, and if they cease the whole public body suffers." It may be supposed that reference ia here made to the pastoral duties of the clergy. If this is so, of course Dr. Hayman ia right, because by law the Church of England is responsible for the spiritual oversight of all persons in the realm But how hollow is the argument now, for in Wales, at least, the large majority of the people discard this legal overseership, and in a liberal wav support that form of religious faith which commends itself to their own consciences. It is no use referring to past days wheu th3 Church of England failed in its mission to Wales, but we are at least now entitled to sup- port those modes of thought and faith, which differ only in degree from those of the establishment, and to honor those who by their lives, their devotion and spiritual example, kept alive the sacred light of faith when the flame in the authoritative lamp burned low in its socket. Now the Church of England is roused to work, and although differing from it on several matters, we rejoice with those who esteem and value active religious work that the reproach of past alothfulness is being removed. But surely the members of the Establishment will not be surprised if Welshmen still adhere to thoee doctrines, and methods of church polity, which in the former days of neglect supplied their highest wants. To claim tithe on the ground of service rendered to all is an utter absurdity, and it is time that a new and sounder argument is found. We have pointed out three objec- tions which tithe-owners have to the Bill. and have also indicated what in our minds forms our only but irresistible objection to the appli- cation of the National Asset. The question like that of disestablishment is well nigh past argument, and we long for the time when once and for all that source of discord in Wales. religious inequality, shall cease to be. Dr. Hayman recognizes in the Bill" a hand reached out to Disestablishment," and warns his readers to disillusionise themselves if they fancy that the Bill will lull the Welsh agitation. We do not know that there is much in the first remark, but Dr. Hayman and his friends may rest assured that as regards the second obser- vation, Wales will not, and dare not, rest until it has achieved that freedom for which it longs, and which will be a aource of untold blessing to a > • • • « — that church which now regards it with unmiti- gated horrors and apprehension. During this week the Bill has been in Committee, and a hard time it has had. There seems to be little or no alteration of great moment made in the main principles of the measure, although Sir William Harcourt and Mr Osborne Morgan, who have led the attack, have made gallant fights. By the time this is in the hands of our readers the Bill will be through most cf its troubles, and when it becomes law, as it will soon, we shall be able to see whether the friendless measure will be as useful as its promoters fondly dream it will be.

Our latest information from Wynnstay is dis- tinctly favorable. Lady Williams Wynn and her son are doing well. MR James Williams, manager of the Toxteth Branch of the North and South Wales Bank, Liver- pool, has been appointed to the Wrexham Branch, to fill the vacancy recently caused by the lamented death of Mr T. H. Jones. In consequence of the favorable change in the weather, the Relief Committee has not thought it desirable to meet, and consequently its operations are suspended. The committee beg to thank Sir Robert Cunliffe for a gift of jE5, and Mr William Stokes of 10i 6d.

A LIBERAL COLLECTlo.-The collections taken on Sunday, at Chester-street Congregational Church, in aid of the restoration fund, amounted to JE81 83. SALE.—Mr C. E.

REMOVAL.—Our readers will notice that Mr Gethin, of Shrewsbury, has commenced pulling down Mr Charles Davies' premises in Hope-street, in order to construct the arcade. While the work is progressing. Mr Davies will carry on his busi- ness at 6, Church-street, and this is a fact which his numerous customers will note. RAILWAY REFORM.—On the Manchester, Shef. field, and Lincolnshire Railway, second class fares are to be discontinued from the 1st of April, and second class carriages will be taken off on all trains except suburban trains near Manchester and the Chester and Wrexham line. We hope that repre- sentations will ba made to the Company for all Wrexham to participate in the movement. QUEEN STREET BAND OF HOPE.—A very suc- cessful quarterly tea party was held in the School- room, on Wednesday. After tea games were played and were very much enjoyed. A very hearty vote of thanks was passed to all who had assisted in making the tea, also to Mr and Mrs Jones, Lion Stores, who had given oranges. Mr I David Roberts presided.

G. Sudlow, seconded by Mr B. Owen. PKNYBRTN CONGREGATIONAL CHCTRCH. —The Rev W. Oliver, M.A.. presided at the usual weekly meeting of the Bible and Mutual Improve- ment Class, on Monday evening. The subject was Paul's Journey to Jerusalem," and was in. teresting and instructive, under Mr Oliver's guidance. Next Monday evening, Dr Drink- water, of Grosvenor Lodge, is announced to deliver a lecture, the subject being The Five Senses." Dr Drinkwater will apeak chiefly of the sense of hearing, and doubtlessly many will avail themselves of the opportunity of listening to so able a speaker. „ BAPTIST MISSIONARY SOCIETY.—On Wednesday evening a meeting in connection with this Society was held at the Baptist Chapel, Cheater-street. Mr William Thomas presided, and there was a fair attendance. A very interesting address was de- livered by the Rev. G. W. Kerry, the deputation from the parent society. Prizes to the juvenile collectors were distributed by Mr Kerry. A vote of thanks was accorded Mr Kerry on the motion of the Rev. P. A. Hudgell, seconded by Mr B.

A paper was read by Mr William Roberts, on Peculiarities of the Disciples." The essayist in a clear and concise way, dealt with those articles of faith and practice, which are un. observed by the majority of professing Christians, and which make those people known as the ("Disciples of Christ pecularliarly distinctive in their plea." In pleading for a "restoration of primitive Christianity in taith and practice," he based his remarks upon Scripture, deeming it only necessary that where the Bible speaks we should speak, and where it is silent, we should be also silent." The meeting was presided over by Mr John Davies, and a vote of thanks was accoided to the writer of the essay. VAUGHAN v. WHITTINGHAM.—This case came before his Honor Judge Sir Horatio Lloyd at the Cheater County Court. Mr Churton, of Chester, represented the plaintiff. Mr W. Vaughan, con- tractor. Longsight, Manchester, and Mr J. P. Cartwright the defendant, Mr James Whittingham, of Wrexham Fechan, Wrexham. The amount sued for was for the balance of an account of £3228 lOd for labor and material in the construction of new streets at Hoole, Chester, where the defendant was carrying out the building of cottages. Mr Churton, in opening the case. at once withdrew an amount of JE9 53, which had in error been made.

The Vicar (the Rev. Stanley Davies), occupied the chair, and there wa-s a very large attendance, the schoolroom being crowded.— The Chairman in his opening address, said they all knew that no class of persons was more hardwork- ing, and had more responsibility than the teaching profession, and there was no one more hardworking i than Mr C. H. Wykes, and he was ably supported in his work by a most efficient staff of teachers. I (Hear. hear.) The Vicar also referred to the deserv- ing objects for whiah the concert was held, and said they were both carrying on good work, but owing to the want of funds, they bad to refuse help in many deserving cases. The following programme was then gone through Glee. Ye Gentlemen of England" The Choir Duet 0. wait thou in the cauld blast"Charlie A Florrie Wykes Song (encored).

S., =r of the Church Defence Institution, London, visited Wrexham, aud gave a lecture upon the history of the Established Church during the Stuart period. The Mayor (Dr Palin) was announced to preside. but at the time fixed for the opening his Worship hid not arrived, so the Ven. Archdeacon Howell took the chair, and the lecturer at once proceeded with his rather long task, for it was not until 10,30 that the large audience was dismissed. However, the time did not seem long, for the lecture was illustrated by as fine a let of lantern views as we have ever seen. In the course of his lecture he naturally referred to the clergy who were deprived of their livings at the time of the Commonwealth. The vicar of Wrexham at that time was Rowland Owen, and he could not congratulata Wrexham upon its loyalty because it was one of the first towns to declare against the Kiag, Mr Owen was de- prived of hia living, and the appointment was given a Nonconformist of importance named Morgan Lloyd. During the period of Puritan ascendency. Morgan Lloyd and Vavasor Powell were appointed triers, and at the head of dragoons they heard determined charges brought against all who did not see eye to eye with the Puritans upon religions matters. Later on the lecturer said he had been reading Mr A. N. Palmer's history of Nonconfor- mity. He was glad that they bad some one in Wrexham who looked after their local antiquities, but he could not help thinking that Mr Palmer was a Nonconformist. In the course of his lecture dealing with the Restoration the lecturer said that those who had been placed with liviogs by the Puritans were treated with studied leniency after the fall of that body. He noticed that Mr Palmer referred to some of them who were ejected at the Restoration as if they were a number of very well meaning and devoted ministers, but he did not say how they tot into the livings. (Hear, hear.) He hoped that in a future edition of the hook Mr Palmer would tell the whole truth and deal fairly by the Church. The lecturer said that the Church of Eogland was the medium between Romanism on the one hand and Puritanism, which lie described as of foreign origin, on the other. The proceedings closed with the tinging of Bishop Ken's hyma "Glory to Thee my G )d this night," from the screen. Altur the lecture had been begun, the Mayor, wearing his chain of office, c,n6 in and took his seat on the platform. At the eud of the lecture he was thanked by the vicar on behalf of the meeting fur liii attendance. The lautrn was exceptionally well woracd by a young gentleman of evidently considerabe experience, the son of the lecturer. CHURCH MISSIONARY CONCERT.—The last of three concerts held in aid of the Church Mis- sionary Society took place in St. James' School- room, Rhosddu, on Thursday evening. The Rev. G. T. Birch presided, and the following was the programme :— Pianoforte solo Miss Kidd Song The better land" .Mrs T. B. Baitoa Violin solo .Matter Drinkwater Song. Koses underneath the snow" .Miss Turner Song 1he chimney corner" Nirs Burton Pianoforte duet.The Misses Harrison and Strachan Song Miss Kdtsbury lnatrumental trio The Misses Birch and Ollerbead Song.

Hey wood Instrumental chorus. The Abbotafielil Band CHILDREN-s AID TO CHILDREN.—It Was a truly happy thought to get the children of the Wrex- ham British School to help their suffering com- panions by giving the concert which they did on Friday night, in aid of the Children's Ward at the Infirmary. Much regret was expressed by many that the concert should have been fallen across by the Church Defence Lecture, which was given in St. James's Hall the same evening, but from a careful inquiry we made we were told that the hall was taken for the church lecture two monthe prior to the evening, and further, if Mr Lane, the lectin er, had not been sccured then, he could not have been got at all. This is the explanation offered, but we are glad to thick that the concert did not suffer, for the Public Hall was crowded by what theatrical people would call a good," that is, a sympathetic audience. A bright, tuneful can- tata, entitled School Life," by T. M. Pattison, was performed by the children, under the efficient leadership of the head-master, Mr Chas. Dodd. The dialogue was smartly given, and the nolo and chorus singing was excellent. Several encores were awarded, and the audience came away highly pleased with the performance. The argument of the cantata is simple, and deals with the life of boys at a boarding school-always an attractive subject to the elder folk. Learning and games come in for praise, and the honest, manly tone of the cantata makes it worthy every praise. The characters were as follows :—Principal, Mr Walter Jones Matron, Miss Mullard, Infants' Depart- ment Porter, John Owen School Captain, Horace Blew; Monitors, Edwd. Thomas, Frederick Davies, and Percy Rogers School Boys, John Edward Jones, Robert Scott, and J. Wilson and Hawker, Thomas Parry. The solos sang by the above were well done, and particularly successful was the boy who sang a song to show how a game of marblea illustrated truths in euclid. In addition to those named, Messrs Williams and Fagan. assistant masters, sang a duet, The Angler." well, and Mr Fagan was very amuaing in the patter song, "The Porter." Miss Nellie Barber accompanied with taste. During the performance a party of infants went through a pretty movement called the British Flag Drill, to music played by Miss Oliver. The little ones were trained by Mrs Snaith with her usual success. A bevy of twelve girls, trained by Miss Griffiths. the head mistress, gracefully performed the Chinese Parasol Diill to musical accom- paniments played by Miss Paice. These items were cordially received. We are glad to hear that the concert will be repeated on Tuesday in the Boy's school, when the proceeds willbe devoted to theSchool Prize Fund. Our readers will be pleased to learn that the result of the concert has been to place at the disposal of the lufirmary Committee the hand- to ne sum of 129 7s, including a donation of 10s from Mr Yorke, of Erddig.

This meeting of the Calvinistic Methodists was held at Holywell, on Monday and Tuesday. Mr Juhn Parry, Llanarmon, moderator, presided. Reference was made to the death of the Rev. John Pugh, B.A., of Seaforth, and the Rev. O. B. Jones, Gwersyllt, was appointed to write a letter of condolence with Mr Pugh's son. The Rev. Evan Jones, Adwy, was also asked to write a letter of condolence with Mr Griffith, Wrexham, on the occasion of the death of his wife. The gentlemen appointed to visit the church at Mold reported that a call had been given to the Rev. John Owen. Aberdovey. Permission was given Messrs Edward Jones and Evan Davies, Cilcen, to stand the synodical examination. On the report of the temperance committee it was decided to ask the district meeting to make an inquiry as to the efforts made to prevent the increase of public houses. Tuesday was devoted to preaching, the preachers being the Revs. O. B. Jones and William Jones.

A shocking lamp accident is reported from Newcastle Emlyn. where Mrs Sarah Jones, sister of the late Dr Emlyn Jones. rhe well-known Welsh bard, set fire to her bedroom whilst lighting a beozoline lamp. The lamp suddenly exploded and the room was completely enveloped in flames. Mrs Jones was hnrnt beyond all recognition, and the entire contents of the room were destroyed. An inquest on the body of William Pickering, drug dealer, who was killed by falling down the steps of the railway station at Welshpool, on Monday, was he!d on Tuesday.
