All summonses therefore, issued after that date will be heard in Mold, which will be a considerable boon to the inhabitants of Cilcen. CONFIRMATION.—The Lord Bishop of St. Asaph visited Mold on Thursday, holding a confirmation service in the Parish Church. The services were conducted by his lordship and the Rav T.

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. I Among the numerous gatherings and anniversary merviece held at Easter, the first we will mention are the old-established Easter services, held in connection I with BETHEL CONGREGATION At CHAPEL, I which commenced on Thursday evening, and extended over Good Friday and Easter Sunday. The minift-rs who officiated were the Revs. E. Herber Evans. D.D., Carnarvon Job Miles, Aberyatwyth J. V. Stephens, Buckley; and D. M. Jenkins, Liverpool. On Thursday evening and Good Friday morning the services were held in Bethel Chapel, and the preachers were-Thursday evening, the Rav. J. Miles, Aber- ystwyth Good Friday morning, the Rev. E. H. Evans, D.D. On Good Friday afternoon and even- ing they were held at the Calvinistic Methodist Chapel, when the preachers wece, in the afternoon, the Revs. J. V. Stephens and J. Mile3; in the evening, the Rev. J. Miles and E. H. Evans, D D. The preacher at the Sunday services, held in the Bethel Chapel, was the Rev. D. M. Jenkins, Liver- pool. The attendance was very large, the chapeli being crowded, and the sermons both practical aud oowerful. 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. BOUGHTON, Out he afternoon and evening of Good Friday a tea party and civ.ic:rt was ftivea at the ( dvinistic Methodists' Chapel, S)iightin, the surplus being devoted to the liquidation of the debt which remains on he schoolroom, which has been recently added to the chapel. About 200 sat down to an excellent tea provided by the ladies connected with the chapel, and in the evening the building was crowded at the concert, presided over by Mr J. M ngnn, Mold. Among those who took part in it were Mr Thomas Foulkes, Mold, Miss El is, Smghtm, Mr Griffith*, Suughtor, a local choir under the leadership of Mr E. Jones, Soughton, and Mr D. 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. Jones. There were very large congregations through- out, and tha sermons were exceedingly effective and powerful, such as will not be forgotten in the district. LEESWOOD. The anniversary services of the Leeswood Calvinistic Methodists were held on Thursday evening and Good Friday, the officiating ministers being the Revs. John Hughes, D. D., Carnarvon, and Rev. Principal Thos. Charles Edwards, Aberystwyth. There were very larze congregations. The Wesleyan Methodists of Leeswood had their annual tea party and concert on Friday.

Lees- wood, together with Messrs D. Livingtone Davies, Manchester, F. G. Evans, Leeswood, the Leewood Male Voice Party, and others.

The annual literary meeting came off with great success on Monday when there was a crowded attendance at the chapel both in the afternnon and at  the evening concert. Thp chairman at both meetings a8 Mr J. Morgan. Mold, and the programme ?in? clud? ed competitions in reading, recitation, and 8mgl!1g, The number of competitors WM not so large s might be desired, and the choral competition issued in no contest. Nevertheless both meetings proved to be highly interesting. The artistes at the concert were Miss Bessie Jones, Leeswood, Messrs T. C. Jones and R. Davies, Leeswood, together with local choirs, under the leadership of Messrs W. J. Harper and Peter Williams. There were several other locals of whom Miss Kate Edwards deserves special mention.
