A Coedpoeth c irr^nondent informs us that the camekeepers about that locality are busily engaged in destroying the tariillgs. They wait until the bin18 setile up m the trees for the night, and then fire upcn their while they are on the roosts. We do not know whether this is legal or not, nor is it quite clear whether the chattering starling is a friend or foe (.f the farmer and game-rearer, but such wanton destruction of life is litt!e short of wicked. ,Nzi.-ii.STELZI,&L -it is stated that the Rev.

'??.;r.?n. after the formal business ?id the direct ,ra had decided th?t only a verbal repnrtof the work of the Company .hoale;ven by him, and that a printed extract ?shoul?d 'e circuited among the shareholder. n the interest taken in the proceedings of that popular Com- pany by the Pr?. they were avrare that ;itt \«vaas8 in the hani-y position of being able to de,??e ? dividend of.u? per cent for th.h!f ye??d Dee. 31t which, will- the interim diviien" Sluet%UY PM", of 34 per cent, made a total dividend upon the year of 10 per cent free of income tax. (Hear. hea .) He would remind the ,h,bolder, that the !««.. of I he comDtny had not been printed for ?busi.?ness ?reae ?? As t?y all knew there was a con.i< erabl. amount of competition in that and in every business, and as th"y might conduct ?heir bu?ness better than others, they did not want those competitors to learn how they conducted that business. (Hear, hear.) He was pleased to be able to report ttiatthe tradelisdim- proved in each month of the year, except Decmber. but that was, as would he remembered an exception- ally cold month. On the year there was an iticrt-a,4e, and due care having been exercised in the matter Gf expenses the net profit had proved to be in excvsi (,.r what was stated in thd prospectus. (Hear, hear.) I' That would be satisfactory: to the shareholder. ihe Chairman said that labor saving a:.phance3 the most Ilpprovcd pattern had been introduced?, and much saving was expected from them. The standard of quality had been kept high, thanks to the attention of the managing director, Air Edisbury, and the close personal supervitiion of Mr Hutchinson, the masaner. (Applause.) Mr Sjanus said that some of the initial txpenses had been spread over a numbpr of yeacs, and in addition to paying the dividend, 1:200, had been devoted towards the creation of a reserve fund. The water supply was copious, and the quality was admirably adapted for the production of serated waters. lie also pointed out that the Company had commenced the manu- facture of British wines under Mr Hutchinson, who had special expeiience in the work, and he thought the wines produced were of hi^h.quality. (Applause.) In short, what the Company had- been able to do was to pay a dividend of 16 ppr cent. on the year, free of income tax, to write tif all depreciations, t" carry forward to a reserve account over 20 per cent. of their net profits, and to carry forward a small balance to the crtdil of next year. (Applause.) He moved the adoption of the report. The Mayor seconded, and it W.9. carried. The Chairman moved that a dividend of 10 percent, be declared, of which 3i per cent, has been aheady paid. Mr Done seconded, and it was agreed to. On the motion of Mr Soameg, seconded by Mr Little, Mr Tilstou was re-elected audctcr of the Com. pwy" Mr Tilston, in returning thanks, said .the account were admirably kept by Mr Hutchinsotx, Mr Bradley moved, and Mr Little seconded the re- election of the two retiring directors—Mr Zoauies and Mr Barcroft. Mr Soames, in returning thanks, said that each director had a special department to look after, and the plan acted admirably. Mr Barcroft also returned thanks. The Chairman said that on the agenda the aasretity had placed che question of the remuneration of the directors. So far they had had no remuneration, and he thought they would continue to give their services free indeed the directors had forgotten to ccnaider the question of remuneration- (Laughter.) Mr Done We had better go on at the same wages for another year. (Laughter.) Mr Bradley saiii on behalf of the shareholders he d.-sirfd to move a cordial vote of thanks toil):- diitct )rs for their gervices during the past year. The repoit made had bn highly satisfact >ry, and the remits showed the great attention which was paid to the interests of-the Company. (Applause.) He was glad to find that a good sum had been applied t to the reserve fund. (Hear, hear.) "t I ".1' Litt'e, in a few appropriate worde, seconded. The resolution having been carried, the Chairin,n responded, aud thanked his co directors for their co- operation. Mr Done moved a vote of thanks to Mr Hutchinson for his excellent services.

Williams (Llanarmon), and Mr T. C. Jones (Denbigh), assisted by a quartette from Rhosesmor and the Llwynypandy Chral Union. We need hard!y say that.

Howard, of the Tower, wh" regretted that owing to the som-jwhat inconvenient hour there was not a larger attendance. He also congratulated the ladie* on their industry, and good taste in gett'ng so many pretty things together, which must have been a labor of love to some of them for wet ks. However, if they succeeded in disposing of thorn even on f urly remunerative terms, they would fed they were amply repaid, and the dllar object for which they had felt such solicitude would be accomplished. Sueak'ng on, Mr Howard naid he could lIet bit regard all bazaars as being tc,-soine degree a nuisance, hut nevertheless a. necess.ry for by them funds could be raised which were-by no means available, and so long as they answered their end, he supposed they wouid continue to exist. Wish- ing them from all his Íoeart a successful issue, he de- clared tlit, Ral- open.

The churchyaul lias j been in use some 400 years, and is so crowded that I new graves cannot be dug without bringing up the trn's of old ones, while human bones are to be Sc'fn j frequently strewn on thesurface. Dr Hoffman in- spected the churchyard in company with Dr Lloyd Roberts (the medical officer of health), who informed I him that owing to the impregnated condition of the soil it was dangerous to health. As a result, Dr Hoffman said he should recommend that no further I burials take place outside the widows or widowers of I persona already interred there. j LLANGOLLEN. I PETTY SKS?lOX?.

HOPE BURIAL BOARD.—On Friday, a meeting was held at the Clerk's residence at Hope, there being pre- sent, Messrs H. G. Roberts, chairman, J. Cawley, Joseph Griffiths, and Rev. John Smallwood. It was proposed that a copy of the scale of fees as approved by the recent vestry, be forwarded by the clerk to St. Asaph and the Home Office.- Complaints were made that the clerk in writing notices to members had not stated the business of the meeting, as it was a special one.—The Rev. John Rowlands having resigned his seat on the* Board, it was proposed by Mr Joseph Griffiths, and seconded by the Rev. John Sinallwood, that Mr E. O. Probert, builder, Hope, be asked to act as treasurer from and after March. 1st.—As Mr Rowlands had sent in his resignation, it was at first suggested that he and the two members who had at- tended the fewest meetings, should be the retiring members for the year, but it was ultimately agreed that the eight members (not including the rector) should draw lots as to who should retire in thd first and two succeeding years.— It was resolved that as the rector was leaving he should be one of the three members to retire this year. —The result of the draw was as follows :—Retire, first year, Rev. John Rowlands, Messrs J. Davies, and J. Bowman in 1892. Messrs Griffiths, Cawley, and H. G. Roberts; in 1893. Rev. John Smallwood, Messrs R. V. Kvrke, and F. Jones.—The Clerk was instructed as to keeping the books, and the treasurer was to be told to make no more payments, except by order of the Board, he having paid about ten cheques to the sexton in about two months, amounting in the aggregate to only 31s, and also some small cheques to himself of Hi each.

ST. JOHN'S AMBULANCE ASSOCIATION…
ST. JOHN'S AMBULANCE ASSOCIATION — THE EXAMINATION. On Wednesday evening the "third ambulance examina. ation, in connection with the Caergwrle Branch, was held in the Drill Hall. The class was examined by Dr. Leei, of Chester, assisted by Mr Hedley, Assistant Inspector of Mines. Special interest attached to this event, through the generosity of Mr J. D. Pierce, of Wrexham, who offered a go'd medallion for competition. The members presenting themselves for the third examination were Messrs John Armer, B. Braithwaite, John Cromar, Joseph Cooper, Thomas Davie*, Henry Duke, Robert M. D Davies, J. C. Jones, W. A. Jones, Hugh Jenkins. Edw. O. Probert, Alexander Reid, Alfred Roberts, W. R. Savage, und F. Miurice Williams; also Messrs John Williams ar.d Fred Hutchinson. The members of the second year were- Kichard Manley, W. H. Roberts, James E. Fidler, and Thomas John Newton. Dr. Lees c inducted a very t-xhaustive examination, the men being thoroughly te-ted in the knowledge of first aid. An adjournment was afterwards made to the Derby Arms, where an elegant supper was in readiness, supplied by Mr and Mrs Kccleston. Mr R. V. Kyrke, High Sheriff cf Flintshire, presided, Mr W. H. Barcroft taking the vice chiiir. ".nd these gentlemen were suppoited by Messrs Kenric- H Clayton, Hedley, Kortrigbt, W. Koberts, D. D. Pierce, Wm. Davies, John Davies, John Newton, W. W. Millington, H. D. Davies, W. Nickless, Geo. Williams, Parry Jones. Hush Roberts, E. Has,ell, Geo. Gr filths. Alderman W. Davie, Drs. W. R. J. Evnn-i and L-tes. and the members of the clas'. The usual toasts received duo attention, Capt. H. Clayton re-ponding on behalf of tne clergy. Dr. Lees, the ex iminer, then gave his award upon the result of the examination. He was very surry he could not aw,i,rtl medals to all the members. The result ha 1 been a very close one—three especially, viz., Nos. 13, 5. and 1. When it came to the final round it was left to 15 and 5, the final result being that N 15 was th-^ gold medal man. but Nos. 5 and 1 were to be highly commended. He was very gratified to know ambulance was so well locked af,ar in this district. At the request of the Chairman, the secreta-v gave the names of the last three in order of m-rit—Messrs. W. R. Savage, Tbop. Davies, and J. Armer. (Loud cheers.) C 'pt. H. Oliyton prop,)se i success to the St. John's Ambulance Association. To a person like himself, con- nect d with works, where they were liable to accidents at any timf, it was gratifying to know of the interest that was taken in this movement. It was of the greatest benefit to Permanent Relief and Friendly Societies, as by a knowledge of first aid a sufferer might be saved a lengthened period of sickness, and thus benefit the sick funds, and also minimise the amount of pain to be endured. Mr Savage was to be congratulated on his success. He deserved to win the medal, for he had taken great nterest in the Association throughout. Mr Hed!ey, in responding, said he begged to offer a silver medallion to the second man, Mr Thomas Davies, and a bronze one to the third, Mr John Armer—(applause)—and this was some s'ight acknowledgment of the kindness the members of the class had always shown him. (Cheers.) Mr Barcroft. in humorous terms, proposed the health of the Medical Profession. Mr John Newton here took the opportunity of expressing his gratitude to Dr. Lees for having succi the life of one of the members of his family. (L ud cheers.) Dr. R. W. J. Evans was glad to find the members had so earnestly continued the work since he last examined them. Mr J. Newton then sang The Normandy Maid Mr W. H. Robert", on behalf of the class, presented Mr W. W. Millington with the gold medallion of the Associa- tion. Mr Millington had beaa an ardent worker fur the cause, and he was one of the pioneers of the movement in thelocility. They were all sorry to lose hi-n, but they hoped he would come sometimes amongst them. Mr Millington thanked the members for their apprecia- tion of h s small services, but what he had done was for the good of the whole district. Mr Hedley was the originator of the idea. in North Wales, and it was he th.it induced him to take up the work. He (Mr Nlilliu-ton) had been enabled to get three classes through ambulance work at the Ffrwd, and had been of assistance with the Caergwile one. He had endeavoured to live on good terms with his neighbours, and he left the di trict with regret. The Chairman proposed the health of Mr D. D. Pierce, the donor of the medal, the toast being received with musical honors, Mr Pierce suitably respon 'ing. Mr Savage, the recipient, also thanking Mr Pierce for the gift. 0 A long list list of toasts was enthusiastically given, amongst th m one to the County Council by Mr Clayton, wh i coupled with it the name of Alderman Davies, who pithily replied, and referred to the state of the roads 10 F.int-hire, past and present. The Chtirman's health, too, was respond d to with much cheering, and a very pleasant evening closed with the singing ot Auld Ling Syne." FFRWD. I PRESENTATION TO A COLLIERY I MANAGER. I An interesting ceremony took place at the Ffrwd Works I on Saturday, on the pit bank, where the workmen hid assembled to present their manager, Mr William Wyatt Millington, with a testimonial, on his leaving to take charge of some important works at Hollingwood, in ths neighbourhood of Oldham.—Mr Sparrow, proprietor of the Works, in making the presentation, said he had been asked to present a case of instruments and a purse of money as a token of good-will from the workmen and others. Mr Millington had been their manager for fourteen years, and during that time he had no cause to find fault with him, for he had done his duty. Twenty-two years ago he began in the office as a boy, and since that time he had done everything in his power to gai t information, and he might say he (Mr Sparrow) had afforded him every facility for gaining experience, and that knowledge which now fitted him for the important post he was about to fill. He had conducted himself soberly and stea tily, and became colliery manager at an early age. This was perhaps a ricky thing to do, there being great responsibilities attached to the office. A man might be clever, technically, and his know- ledge from the Tta iing of books extensive, but this was one thing. A colliery manager must be aole to manage larg- b 'dies of men, and to h)ld a just balance-fair and square between masters and men, and Mr Millington had had this r quisite quality, and this was the reason why he was appointed to that important office. Mr Sparrow went on to say that he had received an application from a young man to succeed their friend, wh fe testimon a's I were perfectly satisfactory, but lIe bad appointed JlrJoM Newton to the post, because he knew him, and believed I him to he a fitting successor to their late manager. He I thought by this time the workmen thoroughly understood that, as the master, he wanted nothing unfair. Mr Newton was a practical coilier, who cculd do any work down the p:t, and he was well-known to the men. Turning I to Mr Millington, the speaker gave that gentleman some kindly advice, and hoped he would still climb the ladder, for he considered the new appointment was but a prelude to greater things. Mr Millington had gained all his experi- ence at the Ffrwd works, and had protited by it. Let other young men in the neighbourhood take his case as an ex imple. Mr Millington, who was visibly affected, said he was deeply grateful for the kind words in which Mr Sparrow had made this very handsome present from the woiknieiJ, who b,i(I so substantially shown their good-will towards him. No (h uht at times there had been a little fricti in between th-in, but he must say he had had very little difficulty :n managing them. The greatest com 1 ment he could pay them was to hop9 th it he should ltnd i.s good men where he was going. He thought they iiere as contented a lot of workmen as any in Ncith Wales, and hoped they w. uld rrove as true to the nuw manager as they had been to him. Mr Newton was as straight a man as ever went down a pit. Mr Newton thought most of the men knew him well, and he believed he knew these pits thoroughly He was flattered bv the complimentary remarks that had been made about him. He would make it his duty to took 1 after everything down, including the welfare of man and ¡ beast, and hoped to carry on the management in the same manner as it had been hitherto. The presentation took the form of a. handiome Russian Ieaiber pocketbook. the gift of Mr Wm. Potter stationer, Wrexham, enclosed in which were a number of bank note?, representing a very handsome sum of money, the gift of the employes and others, in addition to which was a polihed walnut case of best electrum mathematical instruments, made by that celebrated firm, Mei rs John Davies and onll.

The debtor's statement showed 2274 53 due to unsecured creditors, while the only asset was Bll 10s cash deposited with solicitor for cost of petition. The bankrupt attributed his failure to want of capital and losses through buying. The Official Receiver, in his observations, states that a receiving order was made on the debtor's own petition, and he has been adjudicated bankrupt. He stated that all his effects were sold under County Court execution in September last, and since that time his wife ba-i carried on the business with £10 borrowed from the bankrupt's brother. The bankrupt 6tates that the effects on the premises and all the property belong to his wife. He admits that ho has been insolvent f r the past twelve months, and that he has contracted debts with that knowledge, his only expectation of being able to pay was the common one of "expecting business to improve." He estimates that his profit has been about 92 a week, and his household and personal expenses about 30s. No resolutions were pas8en. BpaOssRedO.UGH SESSIONS, YESTERDAY (Friday).- Before Messrs J.

ITANAT SIDE RACES. I On Wednesday afternoon, a meeting of those in- terested in the Tanat, Side Races was held, under the presidency of Mr G. J. D. Lees, at the Wynnstay Arms Hotel. The Chairman said they had met that day to consider the advisability of holding or not holding a meeting this year at Llanymynech. With regard t,) their finances, they had between £6 and le7 in hand. Last year there was a deficit of 212 or £ 13, but owing to help given by some kind friend?, it had been wiped off. Ho thought the races last year were fairly satisfactory. If the majority of the people who hunted with harriers were roally interested iu the meeting, and really wanted it then he would do his best to help it forward. It was subsequently resolved to hold the races this year, on the motion of Dr. Cartwright, seconded by Mr Whittingham The Rhos, Liandrinio. Mr P. O. Gill, Shrewsbury' was elected hon. secretary, and Mr P. O. Perrott' Bronrhyddon, Llansaintffriad, hon. treasurer.
