Charles E Pratt, who recently inherited a large fortune in England, built a princely mansion in a town in New Jersey, in order to make the most of his good luck.

A Bill has been introduced by the Social Demo- crats in the Reichstag demanding that the State should take over and administrate the manufacture of drugs and medicines in Germany, it being the duty of the State as a result of the passing of the Workmen's Insurance Act to supply medicinal remedies at cost price. A colored man, undergoing a term of imprison- ment in Exeter Gaol, has confessed that some time ago he murdered a woman at Hull by strangula- tion. Prisoner also says that his brother was con- victed of a crime for which he himself was respon- sible, and that the brother died before his term of imprisonment had expired.

The police are making active inquiries into the affair. The inquest on the body of Emily Tyrer, aged nine, the eleventh victim of the terrible burning fatality at St. John's Chnrch Schools, Wortley, near Leeds, was held on Friday afternoon.

A snowstorm raged on the North Atlantic coast of the United States on Saturday, and an immense amount of damage was done by the destruction of telegraph, telephone, and electric light systems.

Notwithstand- ing the ice being covered with some inches of water a number of people were sliding. Two boys named Cocker and Riseley fell in where the ice had broken.

Two doctors at Nantes have been demonstrating a new treatment for tuberculosis by the transfusion of the blood of goats into that of human sufferers. The theory is that as goats are incapable of being infected with tuberculosis their blood must possess prophylactic properties which protect them against the disease, and that it should enable human beings to resist the attack of the malady. Robert Smith, an official of the Sailors and Fire- men's Union, was at Edinburgh on Monday fined £10 for threatening the master of a steamship.

Turnbull's aister, aged twelve, rushed to their rescue, but she was also drowned.

I BORDER NOTES. Mr Thomas Stamford Raffles, stipendiary magifi* trate at Liverpool, died about noon on Friday. He was attending to his magisterial duties until about a week ago, when he was seized with severe cold, and had to keep t,) hie bed. Mr Raffles, who was the son of a well-known Congregationalist minister, had occupied his position as stipendiary for nearly 30 years. A young man named Thomas Cale, who has been several times convicted of theft, committed while be was dressed as a female, was on Monday further remanded at Liverpool, on a charge of frequenting the streets for an unlawful purpose while once more wearing feminine attire. His sex was discovered through a bridewell keeper noticing that his whiskers were growing again. The Chairman of the Nantwich Local Board on Friday night reported that the total number of school children who were injured in various ways by the mad cow was 50, and all, with one or two exceptions, were still unable to return to school. He was astounded no one was killed. Mr Harvey, a member of the Board, said his two sons very narrowly escaped, while a schoolfellow was tossed in the air and rendered unconscious. The Board passed a resolution, to be publicly addressed to farmers and cattle owners, requiring them to ob- serve the public safety and employ more drovers to attend herds in the streets.

LABOR AND WAGES. The Rhondda Valley colliers on Monday decided to raise a defence fund, amounting to £1,000, by doubling their monthly subscriptions. In consequence of the Cleveland miners refusing to consent to 12J per cent. reduction, they were on Saturday served with notices to terminate their en- gagements. The Swiss working men's Congrt-as sitting at Zurich, has adopted a resolution affirming the necessity of establishing a 10 hours working day. It has also resolved that May 1st shall be observed as a holiday. Sir Wilfrid Lawson has informed the miners of West Cumberland that he will vote for the second reading of the Miners' Eight Hours Bill. He says that the great majority of miners being in favor of the Bill, and the bulk of employers not adverse, and as no damage is likely to result to the public from the adoption of the measure, he will support it. Lord Derby is opposed to the proposal for giving power to the Board of Trade to determine disputes between employers and workmen by compelling the parties to accept its arbitration. Such powers would mean a regulation of the rate of wages by a Government department, and would destroy the freedom of employers and employed to make their own terms.

WELSH NOTES. I In the recently issued honors list of the B. A. examination of the University of London, we find the names of two students of the University College of North Wales, viz., Thomas Phillips, first in the third class honors in philosophy, and Edmund D. Jones in third class honors in French. The name of David H. Williams, another student of the College, appears in the pass list of the same examination. Mr J. H. Jones. solicitor, Cardiff, has received instructions from Ireland to institute proceedings against Head Constable McKenzie, and other mem- bers of the Cardiff Police Force, for the illegal arrest and detention of Mr P. J. O'Brien, M P., at Cardiff in September last. At the time Mr O'Brien and his friends questioned the validity of the pro- ceedings of the police, on the ground that the warrant for his arrest issued in Ireland was not endorsed by an English or Welsh magistrate. The following resolution has been unanimously passed by the Presbytery of the Welsh Calvinistic Methodists for West Merioneth That this Association, representing over sixty churches and 15 000 adherents, greatly deplores the un-Christian conduct of the Rev. Kdward Hushes, rector of Birmoutb, in refusing permission for the remains of a respected elderly lady to be buried in the came grave as her husband, but allotting a place in another part of the churchyard, in close proximity to the burial place of dead bodies c^t up by the sea. and for suicides and that we look upon this incident as another proof that an immediate change in the burial laws of the land should be brought about as 11:00 as possib!e. Copies of the resolution have been sent to Mr Gladstone, Mr Osborne Morgan, and Mr Stnart Rendel, president of the Welsh Liberal Federa- tion.

LITERARY NOTICES & REVIEWS. I FIRST NOTICE. I In Tui LEISURE HOUR for February the article on The Statesmen of Italy" is continued, as are also thope on "Everyday life on the Railways," and Yankee Dodges." There is a most readable short paper on De Quincey. THE BOYS' OWN PAPER for February contains the opening chapters of a new school story, entitled The Cookhouse at Fellsgarth," by Talbot B. Read. It promises well. Mr H. F. Hobden commences a paper" liow to build a rowing punt. An amusing article is How wegave Stanley his D.C. L. degree." THE NEWBERY HOUSE MAGAZINE.—There are several articles of interest in the magazine for Feb- ruary. The description of the proposed Church House is worth reading, and particularly pleasant reading are the letters of the late M. Chatrian. Dr. Hayman writes a description of Beverley Minster, which is in- strzietivr. TENNYSON.—From Messrs Macmillan and Co., comes a gem in the way of a book. It is a pocket edition of Lord Terinyann's poetical works, bound in morocco, limp, and offered for sale at 7s 6d. The volume, which is printed from special type, upon good opaque paper, contains the complete poems, except the dramatic works, of the Poet Laureate. The letterpress is very clear, and the size of book is most convenient for carriage in a pocket.for the corners are rounded. The Pall Mall Gazette calls it one of the prettiest books of the season," and we may add that it is one which will be as welcome in the study as in those parts of the household known by a less pre- tentious name. The Gazette says M. Renan some- where remarks that his highest ambition for any work of his is that it should be taken to mass between the fair hands of some devoted lady-reader. If Lord Tennyson has any such ambition, it is now in a fair way of accomplishment, for the 'Pocket Tennyson,' with it3 limp morocco binding, and its dainty gilt edges, would pass in any congregation for some more orthodox book of devotion." THE ENGLISH ILLUSTRATED MAGAZINE. AS usual, this magazine is interesting. The first article is by Sir Geo. Baden-Powell, M.P., and is entitled To the East, Westwards In it is given a description of the Canadian Pacific Railway-very vividly written and well illustrated—and the impor- tant uses which could be made of it in time of emergency in the East are clearly pointed out. The writer is generally smart, but he occasienally adopts the high falutin heard at Primrose League meetings, and this is not nice. Madame Romanoff writes upon Russian girlhood, and as it comes from an anti- nihilistic source, it is of interest as giving the other side of the case for Russia. This is useful because somewhere between the Government story and that of the Reformer, is the truth. The account of Norwich by R. Owen AUsop is interesting and the illustrations copious. Sir Charles Bruce writes upon British Guiana." and those who would like a fresh country to dwell in cannot do better than make in- quiries about this interesting land. The account of a voyage across the Atlantic with a Torpedo boat is very exciting, and as it comes from an officer on boaid, it is correctly written. Mrs Watts-Jones writes on Thoughts in Prison," and the paper is filled with inscriptions found in the ch&teau of Loches. One of these is I have some times re- pented for having spoken, never for having kept silent." Could anything be wiser ? The serial The Witch of Prague" is continued. | SHELLEY.—Meesrs Macmillan and Co. have wisely issued one-volume editions of Tennyson, Wordsworth, and Mathew Arnold's poems at a price (7s 6d) which brings them within the reach of students who naturally desire to have reliable copies of the masters. The last addition to the series is Shelley, and this number is made the more valuable by being edited by Professor Dowden. who has not only written a valuable introduction, but has superintended every detail of the arrangement and read all the proofs for press. In the introduction Professor Dowden eays All ascertained poems which have appeared in previous editions are included in the present volume." Among the exclusions are "The Wandering Jew," The Dinner Patty Anticipated," and The Magic Horse." The professor points out that there is a con- siderable body of Shelley's early verse still in MSS., and owned by Mr Esdaile, the poet's grandson. Some of them which were of special biographical value were printed by the professor in his Life of Shelley." but in consequence of a wish of Mr Esdaile's m(-.tier- Shelley's daughter Ianthe-they are not included in an edition of her father's poetical workt-. In the arrangement of the book it is pleasant to find the chronological system of poem-arrangement adopted. especially with regard to the fragments which have freauently a distinct biographical and psychological value, which would be lost orl but dimly seen when not followed in their true relationship to the writer's life. We think that we have said enough to show that the edition is one which students will be anxious to nossees. The printing is all that could be desired, and the binding is fair. The por trait of Shelley which accompanies the volume is good.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY. RAILWAY SERVANTS' IIOUBS. I The Home Secretary said he was informed by the I Coroner that the usual course was taken at the inquest on the late Duke of Bedford. Mr Changing moved a resolution directed against the excessive honra of I railway servants, and declarmg it to be expedient that the Board of Trade should obtain powers by legislation to issue orders whsre necessary directing railway companies to limit the hours of work of special classes of their seryatts, or to make such a reasonable increase of their staff as to obviate the necessity of overtime work. In the course of the debate Sir M. Hicks-Beach offered if the motion were withdrawn to propose the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the subject. Mr Channing, however, went to a division, when his resolution was defeated by a narrow majority of 17— 141 votes against 124.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—MONDAY. On the motion of Earl De la Warr, a return was ordered giving a copy of the report to the Board of Trade on the railway accident which occurred at Wortley (Leeds) on the 24th December. His Lord- ship said it appeared from reports of the Board of Trade inspectors, that within the last twelve months a number of accidents had occurred owing to the over- working of railway servants.—Lord Balfour of Bur- leigh said that though it was true that in the Wortley case the inspector called attention to the hours worked by some of the Great Northern Company's men, the blame for the accident was laid on a signalman who had only been on duty for n hours.

HOUSE OF COMMONS. -MONDAY. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach said, in answer to a ques- tion, that he intended to put a notice on the paper dealiniz with his proposal to appoint a committee on the subject of overtime on railways.-Mr Gosrhen in- formed Mr T. W. Russell that it was intended shortly to re-appoint the committee which sat last session to inquire into the fiscal relations between England and Ireland.-The House went int3 committee on the Tithe Rent Charge Recovery Bill. In the course of the debate, Mr Osborne Morgan moved to add the following sub-section :—" Nothing in tha Act con- tained shall create any personal liability for the pay- ment of any tithe rent charge in any owner or occu- pier or other person, or in the executors or adminis- trators of such owner or occupiers, or other person. —Sir M. Hicks-Beach pointed out that the words other person in the amendment would include the receiver. He undertook if the amendment were with- drawn, to bting up an amendment t) protect occupiers from imprisonment.—The amendment was withdrawn.

HOUSE OF LORDq.-TUESDAY. A Select Committee was appointed to examine and report upon the st inding orders relating to Standing Committees.

[ HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUESDAY. I Mr Ritchie informed Mr Cobb the Government did not contemplate bringing in an Allotments Bill. On the motion being brought forward by Mr Hunter to expunge from the Journals of the House the resolu- tion passed in 1880 refusing Mr Bradlaugh permission to take the oath or make affirmation, uncompromising opposition was offered by the Solicitor. General. Mr Gladstone, however, urged the Government not to oppose the motion if it were limited by the omission of words which declared the resolution to be sub- versive of the riehts of the whole body of electors of this kingdom. With this excision Mr W. H. Smith r said he would not oppose the motion, which, in its amended form, was unanimously agreed to.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY. I A Bill to confer upon Scotch police burghs, under certain conditions, the control of their roads and streets was read a second time.-After prolonged debate, the Conspiracy Law Amendment Bill was thrown out on the motion for second reading by 179 vot?s against 143, a majority of 36.

I Mr Balfour said there would be an opportnnity of discussing the policy of the Government in connection with the distress in Ireland on a vote that would be taken before Easter.—In reply to Dr. Tanner, who remarked that some ppople were now liviner on tur- nips in the poorest districts, the Chief Secretary promised that relief works would be undertaken wherever necessary.—Questions were asked with re- gard to the necessity of strict inquiry being made in- to the railway accidents that had occurred on the Caledonian and North British railways during the strike. Mr Smith intimated that if the Tithe Rent Charge Bill had passed the requisite stages he proposed to place Monday week at the disposal of Mr John Morley for the discussion of his motion on Irish administration. The House then went into Com. mittee on the Tithe Rent Charge Bill. Clause 2 as amended was added to the Billr and considerable di-cussion followed on clause 5, after which progress was reported. I

TERMINATION OF A RAILWAYS I DISPUTE. WIRRAL AND SEACOMBE. HOYLAKE AND I DEESIDE RAILWAYS. The schema which Parliament will be asked to sanction for the amalgamation of the Wirral and Seacombe, Hoylake and Deeside Railways is fully set forth in the Bill which has been deposited by these two Companies. By this Bill it is proposed to provide that the amalgamation shall take place on and from the 1st July, 1891, from which date a new company is to be incorporated under the name of the "Wirral Railway Company." For the purpose of this amalga- mation the authorised capital of the Wirral Company is declared to be 2966,600, of which 2241,600 is authorised debenture stock, and 2725,000 ordinary stock. Of this capital only £ 173,700 has been issued, of which 2118,700 is in ordinary shares, and E55,000 debenture stock. The authorised capital of the Sea- combe Company is declared to be 2557,230, of which 2139,230 is debenture stock, and 9418,000 ordinary stock. Of this capital 23979-730 has been issued bv the creation of 2160,800 ordinary stock and 2130,000 preference stock, making a total authorised capital for the two Companies of £ 1,523;830, of which only 2572,430 has been issued. With reference to this authorised capital the Bill provides that the new Company shall have power to raise any of the above unissued capital, with the right to attach a five p?r cent. preferential dividend to such an amount of that capital as "dhall not at any time exceed the amount for the time being issued of their ordinary share capital," whilst the unissued debenture stock is proposed to be issued at four per cent., ranking next after the issued debenture stock of the Wirral Com- pany. By the remaining clauses in this Bill it is proposed to give effect to the agreement come to late last session with reference to the Act passed in 1889, after a long inquiry, for the transfer of the unconstructed portions of the Wirral Railway to the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, and Wrexham, Mold, and Connah's Quay Railway Companies. It is proposed under these clauses to repeal so mucH of that transfer Act as made the Wrexham Company one of the purchasing Companies, and to substitute the amalga. mated Companies in their stead. It is also proposed to ask Parliament to put an end to that Act unless the powers of purchase are exercised by the 1st December, 1891, and in the event of the purchase not being then completed to empower the amalgamated Companies to proeeed with the works as though the transfer Act had never been passed. Powers are also sought by the now Company, on anc after the opening for traffic of the transferred railway*, to run over the Chester and Connah's Quay Railway of the Man- chester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway Company, including the use of the Dae Bridge and Chester station.

[A SON AT WYNNSTAY. I GENERAL REJOICINGS. The news, which rapidly spread through the district on Sunday that a son and heir had been born at four 09clock that morning to the House of Wynnstay, has caused a moat lively eatisfation. The information was spread to the furthest limits of Sir Watkin's estate. and unalloyed pleasure was expressed at the news on Monday. An enormoua number of congratu- Iav ^ions were received by poet and wire, and deputa- tions from the tenantry came to express their interest in the event The unstinted hospitality of Wvnnstay was extended to all who came. The bells at Ruabon rang merrily all day, and cannons gave noisy kreet- mgs. At too Wynnstay Colliery Bags were displayed, and a large number of the men were invited to Wynnstay, where they were entertained to refresh. ment. WREXHAM. At no place was greater delight shown when the news came than in Wrexhan. The Mayor (Dr. Palin) sent a congratulatory message to Sir Watkin on Sun- day morning, and to it the following reply has been received Wynnstay, Rhuabon. January 28th, 1891. DEAR MR MAYOR.—( beg to offer both you and the inhabitants of Wrexham my sincere thanks for your tele- gram containing kind congratulations, and im glad to say both Lady Williams Wynn and the infant are doing as well as possible. With renewed thanks, believe me, yours very truly, W. WILLIAMS Wrsif. The Mayor of Wrexham. After evening service on Sunday the bells of the parish church rang for a short time by order of the Mayor, and on Monday flags were displayed and continued flying for several days at the Guildhall, the Conservative Club, the Old Town Hall, the Wynn- stay Arms Hotel, the Turf Hotel, Messrs C. K. Benson and Co., Messrs Rogers and Jackson, and elsewhere. At a meeting of the Finance Committee of the County Council, held on Tuesday, Mr R. Humphreys Roberts in the chair, Mr Alderman Jno. Jones, of Wrexham. asked leave to propose a motion which was suggested by the appearance at that meeting of Sir Watkin. It was to congratulate Sir Watkin on the birth of his son. It was over 70 years since such an event had happened within the walls of Wynnetay. If it was possible for Sir Watkin to feel any increase of greatness, Sir Watkin must feel it on that event, for it would surely make him a happy man. It had carried gladness into every house in Wrexham. He was glad to hear that Lady Wynn was as well as could be expected and that the boy was prosperous. He invited the meeting to join him in the hope that Sir Watkin and his wife might have a long and a happy life and find comfort and honor in their boy. This was seconded by Mr Jno. Prichard, who said every house in Wrexham was glad to hear the news. The vote having been carried. Sir Watkin responded, and said that he hoped the birth of his son was a pledge c f the continued friendliness between Wynn- stay and the County. At the meeting of the Wrexham Town Council on Tuesday, special reference was made to the event. The Mayor said before going on with the business of the day, he had a pleasing duty to perform, and that was to propose a vote of hearty congratulation with the House of Wynnstay-to Sir Watkin and Lady Williams Wynn upon the birth of a son and beir. (Hear. hear.) He was sure that all must rejoice that the descent of the House would be now direct, and the fact had given great satisfaction not only to those who were tenants but everyone else. Wrexham had been most intimately connected with the House of Wynnstay for generations, and he trusted that the happy event th."t had occurred would cement them more together if possible. (Hear, hear.) There was not one citizen but wished the House of Wynnstay every proaperity that could happen to it, and it was satisfactory to observe the cordiality which had been shown upon every hand. There had been general rejoicings at Oswestry and other districts with which Sir Watkin was connected. (Hear, hear.) He only trusted they would be able to see more of Sir Watkin, that he would come forward and show that he not only thoroughly appreciated the position he occupied, but also that he held an important estate for the benefit of the public. (Hear, hear.) He begged to move the vote of congratulation he had named, and hoped that the son and heir would be spared to succeed to the title. (Applause.) Ald. Jno. Jones said he enjoyed that day the singular felicity of having to speak twice upon the same subject. He had discharged the pleasing duty at the Finance Committee meeting of the County Council that morning, at which Sir Watkin waa present—(hear, hearJ-when feeling that he was acting in obedience to the impulse that was round about him, he took upon himself to propose a vote of congratulation to the Baronet upon the auspicious event that had happened in his family. That Com. mittee had the advantage of having Sir Watkin present, and he (the Alderman) would endeavour to repeat what he said. Sir Watkin begged to thank the Committee for the honor done him. and said be hoped it would be a gage of increased attachment between the House of Wynnstay and the County of Denbigh—(hear, hear,)-and that the old tie of con- fidence and allegiance, too, if such a word could be now permitted, would be strengthened, and he gave a promise that whenever the opportunity offered itself of doing any public act that would benefit the county of Denbigh he would be very happy to do it. (Hear, hear.) He (the Alderman) undertook the duty of seconding the vote of congratulation with very great pleasure. He was extremely mystified when for the first time in his life he heard the bells ringing on a Sunday night after the evening service. He said, We are not at war, and so we cannot have won a battle." (Laughter.) That being the case he was at a loss to know what event of sufficient public interest and excitement could have been the cause of the bells ringine. Presently a little boy came running in, and said, Sir Watkin has a son," which solved the ques- tion—(hear, hear,)—and he would undertake to say that the news was received with as great a glow of heartiness and cordiality in his house as in any house in the county. (Hear, hear.) He hoped he might say it without any feeling or fear of being called a flunkey he was very fond of big houses, and of the people who lived in them. He loved the handsome houses where the wealthy nobles lived. He was fond of their pictures, and books, and works of art, and he pored like any maudling boy over a Peerage, and he was there- fore glad that the House of Wynnstay was likely to be represented in the direct line. (Hear, hear.) But if Sir Watkin had failed to have had the title transmitted directly, there would have been very little fear of the title of Sir Watkin becoming extinct, for if the family pedigree were consulted, they would see how many possible Sir Watkins already existed. He did not know if it was known, but it had been the rule of the House of Wynnstay for 180 or 190 years for every male to be called Watkin, on the supposition that he might have to succeed to the property. It had also been the practice of the House to name the females Watkin, and when the practice of giving male names to females in another house was digcuseed in the public prints, the Hou?e of Wynnstay was quoted as an instance. (Hear, hear.) He was old enough to remember that when the old Sir Watkin as he was called, came into town, as he did in his barouche, he would not have been in ten minutes before the bells were rung. He supposed that they were not likely to see such feudal loyalty as that, but let them hope that the babe would grow to the height of his great fortune, and that he would deserve the good wishes of his neighbours. (Applause.) Mr Murless supported the motion with very much Dleaeure, and endorsed all that had been so well said about the good family of Wynnstay, He was unable to remember the old Sir Watkin, but he remembered the birth of the young Sir Watkin's mother. There was a great commotion, a great deal of expectation, and a great deal of disappointment. The present event had been the came of much rejoicing in Wales, and all wished for him the best. (Applause) The resolution was then carried, and the Council proceeded to the business of the day. At the annual meeting of the Wrexham Conser- vative Club on Monday the following resolution was passed, on the motion of Capt. Grififth-Boscawen, seconded by Mr J. Oswell Bury That the mem- bers of the Wrexham Conservative Club in annual meeting assembled, beg to express their gratification at the news of the birth of a son and heir to the house of Wynnetay, and respectfully tender to Sir W. W. Wynn, Bart., and Lady Williams Wynn their sincere and hearty congratulations upon so auspicious an event." OSWESTRY. I At Oswestry the church bells rang out joyoua peals, flagii floated from Messrs R. and R. Hughes's and the Wynnstay Hotel, and in the evening; the hotel was illuminated with a crown and the Prince of Wales's Feathers in gas-jets. As soon as the tenants of the Llanforda estate could be called together. a meating was held, on Monday, when it was unanimously agreed to send a deputation to Wynnstay to congratulate Sir Watkin and Lady Williams Wynn.—The following gentle- men were appointed :—Mr John Owen, Llwyny- maen Mr Charles Drew, Wynnstay Hotel, and Mr Stokes, Trefonen, and they proceeded to Wynn- stay. LLANRHAIADR AND LLANGEDWYN. I The bells of Uanrhaiadr on Monday, sent forth I merry pe?ts, which were continued at intet ,v ?ltsa on Tuesday, in honor of the event. Flags were hoisted in the church tower and Wynnstay Hotal. LLANFYLLIN. I The church bells on Monday were pealed merrily I at short intervals all through the day. LLANSILLIN. I The church bells rang out merry peals during I Monday, t LLANBRYNMAIR. I The bells of the Parish Church were set ringing all Monday afternoon, in honor of the event. Brynllys J was illuminated. It is intended to celebrate tho- JI event on a larger scale in a short time. LLANUWCHLLYN. On Sunday morning. a telegram waa received by Mr Morris, of Glanllyn, announcing the birth of a son and heir at Wynnstay. Towards the early hours of Monday morning the inhabitants were aroused from their slumber by the merry peal of the church bells, which were kept going with but few intervals till far into the evening. As soon as day broke Glan- llyn was all astir, in preparing a bonfire for the even. ing. There were some twelve or thirteen wagons busily at work throughout the day carting wood, pitch, petroleum, and other inflammable substances to the top of Tower Hill, where a huge heap was col- lected. As soon as daikness iset ']a a match was put to it. and the whole mass waa immediately a blazing fire which sent its lfames high up into the air, the ashes and sparks were carried crackling and whizzing, to a considerable distance by the prevailing winds, and the itight from a distance was grand. In spite of the rain and the strong wind, hundreds of people had gathered upon the hill to witness the proceedings, and refreshments were freely distributed. Among those present around the fire were seen Mr Morris, Glanllyn, and Mr Williams, Gwernhefin. A meeting of the tenants waa held on Wednesday, to discuss what tur. ther steps should be taken to celebrate the event. BAN GOR-IYSCOED.
