JUBILEE MEETING AT PONTYBODKIN. On Monday evening a meeting was held to celebrate the clearing off of the whole of the debt remaining on the Independent Chapel, Pontybodkin. The chapel was not included among those which benefited by the gift of Samuel Mr Smith, the church and congregation being then in somewhat low water, but they caught the contagion, and the times improving, they resolved on making a combined and sustained effort so ai to clear away the last vestige of the debt which had encum- bered them for so many years. Mr Smith. M. P., kindly gave them a special donation on condition that they cleared away five times as much as he gave (£5), but they did more, and we believe more than ten times the amount, competing their whole task and feeling not poorer but richer when they accomplished it than when they began. At the meeting on Monday even. ing, the chair was taken by the Hev J. Morgan Jones, Caergwrle, and the meeting was addressed also by the Revs, Thos. Roberts, Mold, and W. T. Thomas, Mold. The latter gentleman gave the history of the church at Pontybodkin, its early struggles and its ultimate success, while the other gentlemen delivered encouraging speeches. EASTER-TIDE AT MOLD.

THE BAPTISTS held their anniversary services on Easter Sunday and Monday, the officiating ministers being the Revs. Princiual G. Davies, D. D., Llangollen Idwal Jones, E.Williams, Holy well; and D. Davies, Buckley. These services were excellently attended, more I especially those in the evening. TEA PARTY AND CONCERT. The English Presbyterians' meeting in the Town Hall, who for the last two years have held literary meetings and concerts after the manner of their Welsh brethren at Christinas, made a change on this occasion, resol ving to try a tea party in the afternoon with a high-class concert in the evening, We are glad to report that, although not quite the success the moat Larqtiiiie expecte,], the experiment was decidedly encouraging. A very large number attended the tea party in the afternoon, and among the ladies who presided at the tea tables were Mrs H, Roberts, Bryn A wel inlra J. Bridge Williams, Rhyl; Mrs Daviii Jones, Pentre Mrs David Jones. High-street; Mrs J. F. Pugh, New-street; Mrs Thomas Jones, New-street: Mrs J. Sohofisld, New-street; Mrs Allen Jones, Penyffordd Mrs E. Lloyd, Cambrian Villas Mrs W.J. Martin, Wrexham-street Mrs] Arthur Jones, High-street, &c. In the evening the large room of the l'own Hall was crowded, and the concert proved to be such as to meet with the wishes, even of the most exacting. The principal artiste was Mrs Glanffrwd Thomas, and in her aongs, 81 Nymph, and Shepherds," "The shadows o'er the valley 8tal," and O dywed Pm awol y nefoedd," she fully maintained her high and well-deserved reputation in Mold. Mr L mi Parry, of Chester, made a very favorable impression with his two comic Bongs, "The unfortunate man" and You can't think of everything," the latter receiving the honors of a double encore. Messrs Joseph and William Foulkes, of Buckley, tenor and bass, gave two songs and a duet, My sweetheart when a boy," "Bells of St. Mary," and Flow, gentle DV3," being warmly applauded on each occasion. Miss Myfanwy Williams, Bryn Awel, a deserved favorite at these gatherings, sang "He was despised" and "Daddy," the rendering of each rereiiin,, a high mark of excellence. Miss Georgiua liuJhep, Leeswood, also fully maintained the impression she made some time ago on a Mold audience singing" Heaven and earth" and in old Madrid." Last, but not least, was the Juvenile Choir, under the leadership of Mr J. SchoSe!d. C.C., which charmed the audience with no less than four pieces, these being Johnny Sohandker," "Little Grenadiers (with drum anrl fife accompaniments), "Little Gipsies." and Wynken, Blynken, and Nod." Need we say that they brought down the house on each occasion. It only remains for us to state that Mr Jonathan Adams accompanied with his usual pi ecision and ability, and that the duty of president was rerloimsd by the esteemed yae.t >r, the Rev. David Jones. THE PRIMITIVE METHODISTS had their usual tea party in then chapel in Chester- street on Friday, a goodly company being present, and in the evening a well-attended public meeting was held, lOb" in ti-chtl)el.

William", with a party of three of his children, from Northop Hall. The latter had a wonderfully favorable reception, and they showed some high talent, as well as much persever- anca. The first and second violin duet was very praiseworthy, and the manner in which Mr Williams had trained his children reflected great credit upon him. MAESHAfN. On Thursday evening and on Good i riday, services were held in the Calvinistic Mifchodists Chapel, Maeshafn, when the officiating ministers were the Revs. John Hughes, Carneddan, Oswestry, and S. T.

Dis- tributing prizas to the Chester Shoe Brigade on Tues- day night, Biahop Jayne said the first claim of the institution upon public ennport was that it maintained the ancient and honorable principle of what was technically known as corporal punishment. (Laughter.) There could be no sound education unless there was held in reserve and used, of course with due modera- tion, corporal punishment. If he had to write a motto for a copybook he would write No hirch, no boy-(Iaua, liter) -no cane, no character." (Renewed laughter.) Only those who were known to be seve:e and strict could afford to be kind and lenient.

Dr Drinkwater, Wrex- ham, was the preaidint, and the ltev P. Jones Roberts, the conductor. Mr Gwilym T. Rees, G.T.S.C., Swansea, adjudicated. The artistes were Miss Megan Jones, R A.M., Machynlleth Messrs n. W. Jones, St. Helens and G. T. Rees, Swansea. The accompanist wasMr Walter Williams, Brynteg, and the violinist, Mr Joseph Parry, Moan. Amongst those present were noticed :—Mrs G. Abraham, Penygelli Hall; Mrs P. Jones Roberts, Brymbo Mr Wm. Owen, builder, Wrexham Mr Thomas Jones (Canrhawdfardd), Coedpoeth Mr W Ellis (Alaw Cynon), Mr T. Roberts (Harmonydd), Mrs J. Davies, Tynycoed. and friend the Misass Hum- phreys, Tabor House; M. Jones, Schools Phillips, Infant Schools A. Jonee, and S. Roberts, A. and A. Carrington, H. Pric^?, High-street, and Mr D. Thomas, B.A Portmadoc. The proceeding* were opened by a harp solo by Miss Parry, Birkenhead, entitled "Y gwenith gwyn" (Wyres Megan), in excellent style. Dr. Drinkwater said, unfortunately, he knew about twenty Welsh sentences, which he only found useful with his patients. He thanked the ministers for their kind invitation to preside at one of their Eisteddvodau. He was glad to come because he sympathised with the object for which they were held, viz., the cultiva- tion of Welsh music. He was not a professional musician, but he could appreciate and enjoy it vary much. One essentia' quality in a singer was a good voice, and all who had good voices ought to cultivate them. He was very aorry he was unable to under- stand. He was glad to see the revival of that old Welsh instrument—the harp. This, as they all knew, was, until a few centuries ago, the only mudcal instrument known in the original Welsh Eisteddvodau, and its manipulation was monopolised by the bards. The programme proceeded as follows :-Competitive duet, Martial Spirit (Dr. Parry), priz3 awarded t) Messrs T. Morris and R. Williams, Birkenhead; II Badd fy mam (Harmonydd), two competed. Half the prize was divided between Miss Mary Jones-, Minera. and Misi Megan Jones. Violin competition, M Amorette Falian Rf)S9." Two competed. The prize was divided, two-thirds to Mr Isaac Hughes, Coedpoeth, and one-third to Mr Ambrose Jones. Coedpoeth. Juvenile Choir competition, "Ywyddor," or A. B.C." (Tom Price, Marthyr.)

One candidate only appeared. Miss Parry, Birkenhead (Wyrea Megan) Telynorea Lleifiaid, who was deemed worthy of the prize. The adjudicator congratulated the committee upon the introduction of this kind of competition into their eisteddvodau, and hoped lit would be continued. To encourage instrumental competition, the President promised a priza for the best violin solo from those under sixteen. This was received with applause. The chief choral competition piece was Yna y dywedi yn y dydd hwnw," (Canrhawdfardd.) The price was 216 and 21 le to the conductor of the suc- cessful choir. Only one choir had entered for com- petition, Maelor Choral Society, under the baton of Mr Joseph Wilcoxon, postmastar. The adjudicator said he did not think the rendering worth more than half the priz\ The piece did not give sufficient scope for the different lights and shades of the choir. The music was a very meritorious work composed by Thomas Jones (Canrhawdfardd) some thirty years ago, upon whom it reflected credit. He considered the choir had done as well as could be expected, but he felt another test piece might have been selected with advantage both to the choir and Eisteddvod. He could only award the Maelor Choral Society half the priza and the 21 Is to the conductor. Competi- tive quartett (at first eight.) Oae party appeared, Mr T. Morris and party, Birkenhead, to whom the prize was awarded. THE CONCERT. The concert was held under the presidency of Dr. Drinkwater. There was a very full house. The programme was as follows:—Solo pianoforte, "Sabbath Evening Chimes," Mr Walter Williams song, It is enough," Mr R W. Jones, S. Helens song, Gwraig y morwr," Miss Megan Jones. The Rev. T. Jones Humphreys proposed a vote of thanks to the chairman, who had to leave. He said they all noticad that the Eisteddvod was not so successful this year as it had been on previoa3 occasions. As it was not very well, consequently they had engaged a doctor' -(langhter)-and no doubt under his care the Eisteddvod would be materially bonafifcpd hy the next year. (Applause.) The Rev. Thomas Hughor, seconded the resolution, which was carried unani- mously. The Rev. T. Jones Humphreys was now voted to the chair, after which the programme was continued Song, The Sailor boy's dream," Mr G. T. Rees violin solo, B'ue Balls of Scotland,' Mr J. Parry, Moss. He responded to the encore with Pappin's transcription of Home Sweet Home," in a masterly style. Duet, The Sol-fa" (J. Barnett), Miss Megan Jones, and Mr Gwilym T. Rees. Y dewr forwr lion," Mr R. W. Jones song, "Punchin- ello," Miss M. Jones ballad, "Disgwyl am Gwen Mr G. T. Rees. During an interval the leader of Maelor Choral Society, Mr Joseph Wilcoxon, was iiiveste-I by Miss Humphreys, Tabor House, with the prize (28 and £1 Is for the conductor), which was enclosed in a pretty little satchet. The C)edpoetli Male Voice Party did themselves credit in the power- ful rendering of "Cydgan y chwarelwyr" (Dr. Jenkins, Mus. Bac.), aft3r which Mr R. W. Jones acquitted himself admirably in "The Tournament." Mr Walter Williams' splendid manipulation of the pianoforte in performing "F £ £ Militaira" (Sydney Smith) gave the audience refined pleasure. After the song, Bwthyn bach melyn fy nhad," by M J. R. Pritchard, Bethesda, Miss Megan Jones sang Never Again." To a hurricane of cheers she responded with II Llythyr fy Mam" ("My Mother's Letter") with equal success. Mr J. Parry sustained his reputation in the violin solo, Barceuse." Me G. T. Ree did well in The Young Brigade." The last but not by any mem the least contribution was "Palamae'r Amen" by Mr R. W. Jones, who was encored. M- Griffith Ahraham subscribed handsomely to the funds of t ie Eisteddvod. Mr Thomas Roberts, Church- street, deserves praise fIr hii assiduous labors as secretary t) the committee.

It was shown the child was in the habit of crossing the bridge and annoying the # Flint- shire neighbors. The mother was told of the nuisance, but she did not correct the child, so the defendant undertook the disagreeable duty of doing it for her, at which the mother was wroth. The justices thought, however, the defendant did not do so much amiss, but that as the remedy had proved effectual, perhaps the defendant would not grudge paying 5i out of the 7s 6:1 costs attending the case, the other moiety to I come out of the pocket of the complainant.

James, Mr T. Rogers, Mr Price Evans. Mr J. P. Davies, Mr R. Hughes, Mr D ivid Parry, Mr J. E. Jones and Mr Thomas Roberts Mr Parry Jones, clerk, and Mr I Kendrick Jones, surveyor. I THE WATER SUPPLY. The Chairman asked the Surveyor whether the I supply of water was satisfactory in Abbey-road. The Surveyor said he believed it wap. Mr J. P. Davies asked whether any fresh leakages had been discovered. The Surveyor said they had found some serious leaka. es during the relaying of the main in Hall- street. I THE WORKS COMMITTEE. I The Clerk read the minutes of the Works Com- mittee, held on March 13th, The committee con- sidered the question of the Vron Bache-road, and directed the Clerk to write to the Cemetery Company, asking up >n what terms they would allow a road to be marie through their property. The Committee resolved to let the Smithfield, Recreation Ground and the scavenging by tender on March 20th. A letter from Mr T. R. J. Parry with reference to the state of a ret lining wall in Llangollen Fechan, was con- sidered, and the Surveyor was directed to put it in repair. The Clerk said the Rmithfhlà and Recreation Ground had been let to Mr Rogers, and the scaveng- ing to Mr Samuel Williams. In answer to Mr J. P. JDAvies, the Clerk said ten- ders for the scavenging were not asked for by adver- tisement in the newspapers. Mr J. P. Davies asked why it was not advertised. Mr Rogers said the committee thought as Mr Williams had done the work so well, that he should have it again on the same terms as previously, Mr J. P. Davies said he was perfectly satisfied with the wry in which Mr Wiiliams had done his work. Mr J. E. Jones sai(i lie thought it would be better if it was advertised in the future. The Clerk said the u-ual notices were posted and the town crier was sent round the town. The matter then dropped, and the minutes were adopted. THE SURVEYOR'S REPORT. The Surveyor reported that they had during the month been chiefly employed in re-laying ths water main in Hall-street. About three days would suffice for the completion of the work. They had found a half-inch bend left in the main—the service taken tYy-wbich must have been running constantly. In other places indications of leakages through cracks and bad joints were found. He was sorry to say that he had not yet received the pressure guage, which had been ordered, and had therefore not been able to test the mains. He had not succeeded in finding a meter maker willing to allow them to have a meter on hire. Since the last meeting he had not heard any complaints in regard to the water supply. He had to present the ground plan of the new houses in Green Lane for Mr Evans, showing the lines of drainage. He recommended that the plan be passed. He had also received a plan of the w.c. and drainage, in connection with the Oddfellows Club. The drainage was shown passing under the floor of a dwelling house, which was of course highly objection- able. but it appeared that there was a difficulty as to running it any other way. The Rev. E. R. James said the drain in connection with the Oddfellows Club could be carried through property of the Chairman of the Board. The Chairman said he had intimated to the Club that he had no objection to their doing so. Mr J. P. Davies said a drain under a dwelling-house was very objectionable. The Chairman said the Ciub had evidently some objection to take the drain in another direction. Of course, it was longer to take the drain round, and it would involve larger expense. The Rev. E. R. James moved that the matter be referred to the Works Committee. Mr J. P. Davies said that was a way to shelve matters. He proposed that the plan be not passed, inasmuch as the drain passed underneath a dwelling- house. The Clerk said their bye-laws provitie3 for the passing of drains under dwelling-houses, and certain specifications were laid down. The Surveyor said the plan fulfilled the require- ment,4, with the exception that he thought the fall would not be sufficient. The Rev. F. R. Jones moved that the matter be refeired to the Works Committee, with power to deal with it. Mr Hughes seconded. The Surveyor said the matter was an urgent one, and he thought the Board should bring every pressure to bear, in order that the drain might not be taken under a dwelling house. The Rev. E. P. James's motion was then carried. DAMAGE TO THE WATER MAIN. The Rev. E. R. James called attention to the fact of the water main having been broken completely through, while some work was being done in con- nestion with it. He thought it would be well to give the Surveyor instructions not to allow anyone to go to the main without his express approval and super- intendence. The Clerk said the:law was vety distinct upon the point. It said that no one should have access to the pipes without giving notice. The Surveyor said he al ways received notice when the main was approached, but accidents would happen. The Rev. E. P. James said he thought the Surveyor should see t'lat the pipes were always left right when they were interfered with There was a case in which the town had been short of watsr for three or four months, simply because a bungling workman had cracked the pipe. He only wasted to call attention to the matter. This was all the business.

This notice was under- signed by nineteen farmers, whose names and ad- dresses ware appended. The planters lost no time in calling a meeting to prot 8t against this act of the farmers. At a public meeting held atPonkeyon March 25th, it was resolved, "Tbatfur planting potatoes with their own manure no one should pay more than Is 61 per rood, and for planting with the farmer's manure 3<5 per rood, together with straw for hogging the potatoes."

Several speakers at Friday's meeting advised everyone to abstain from milk for a year or two, and to hoycott any person found paying the piice asked by the farmers.
