The schoolroom also will provide room for 120. The pennies placed on the Z:on ototro by the scholars were 1891, n- t 1S89 penntee On behalf of the chapel members the Hev. 1. Jlj" Thomas also laid E20 upon the same stone, and in his address referred to that church as being a weil-knowu loyal -church to the ministry. BL« BIAST. At the Minera Lime Company Limited's works on Tuesday, a big blast was fired at 4.89 p.m. A ton of powder was used, and the result of til" explosion is an excellent one, about 40.000 tons of good rock having been displaced without mis- hap, thus reflecting credit upon the ingenuity and skill of the managers and foremen. A recent innova- tion at these noted works is a vertical rock-drill driven by compressed air, which is so well manipulated as to produce unprecedented results. HARVEST FESTIVALS.-T-io English harvest home was held at Coedpoeth on Monday. The church had been elaborately decorated by the following ladies:- Mrs T. H. Evans, Vicarage Mrs J. Hughes Parry, Castle House Mrs Price, Eirianfa; Mrs and Miss Davies, Church-street; Mioses Michell, Ivy Cottage, Minera; C. Carrington, Cross Foxes; M. Williams, Llanwddyn; W. Wynne, Plasgwyn; H. Edwards, Royal Oak E. L. Kitto, High-street; and E. A. Roberts, Penygelli. assisted by the c!ergy and Messrs Richards and Giiffiths. Canon Fietcher, Wrexham, delivered an impressive sermon on 2 Samuel xxiv, 24, to a larizecoijgregation. On Tuesday, in Welsh, the Rev. W. J ones, Vicar of Pontfadog, preached a stirring sermon upon Romans xii, 1, to a chuich full of attentive listeners. Both evenings the Revs. T. H. Evans and J. Hughes Parry intoned the service and read the lessons. Collections were made on behaif of the Home Missions.

THE VITALITY AND GROWTH OF THE ciiuu-CH. This is not more strikingly shown and proved than in this parish. Quite recently a New Mission Room was built at the adjoining hamlet of Peutrebais. It is now well attended, is free of debt. and has every prospect of rt quiring replacement by a more com- modious building in the near future. The increase of the population of the parish, and the additions to the church congregations has also rendered it necessary to bring to a climax the long contemplated project of providing Coedpoeth with a new church. It is a long felt need. Too present Vicar (the Rev. T. H. Evatip) is so keenly alive to it, that he is actually organizing and appealing for subscriptions. So far, he has been favored with a reiierous response, but as £ 13,000 is required to bring the work to a buccessful issue, there still remains much to be done. Already a gentleman within the pariah has reserved a very valuable piece of land in the centre of the village, which is to be conveyed as soon as the "sinews of war" are strong enough to commence operations. On Sunday night the second confirmation within seven months was held at the parish church. The building was crowded to oveifluwiug long before that time. The Revs. T. H. Evans and J. Hughes Parry intoned the service, and Mr G. F. Wynne read the lesson. Three confirmation bymns were sung. The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of the Diocese confirmed 45 candidates, who knelt before the altar rails. The candidates were made up as follows :—Minera 8 males and 10 females; Coedpoeth, 13 males and 6 females, and Peutrebais, 5 males and 3 females, thus making the large total of 80 for the year. Amongst those confirmed this time were fifteen adults, In his address the Bishop, who baaed his remarks upon portions of Scripture referring to the rite. ex- plaine 1 the position which confirmation held in the Church. In speaking of the unbroken continuity of Anglican priesthood, he said that they believed theirs was the way marked out by Christ Himself. They could go to Wrexham through Ruabon, but it would be better to take the nearer and straight road. He also urged them to be diligent in prayer and the study of the Scriptures. At the close he brought before their notice the demands of the parish, and made an earnest appeal for the new chnrch. He also expressed his pleasure at seeing the recent alterations in the chancel.—^Mr J. It. Burton, J.P., C.C., D.L., Minera Hall, a gentleman who is never tired of fur- thering the succesi; of the Church, has very generously defrayed an cjst connected with the latter beautiful decorations, which consist of dark colored drapery, adorned with fleur de is covering both sides of the east wall of the chancel for a considerable height, and forming a stencil. Immediately above the altar is a Dossal in the form of a Reredos, containing three beautifully gilded panels the two outer ones having UDon them in Greek charactera It Alpha" and "Omega." A red altar-cloth, embellished with gold, and bearing on tho face of the super-altar Holy, holy, holy," on the frontal two crosses and Fleur de lis, and on the front of the table 1. H. S., surmounted with an emblazoned crosp. Upon the altar is a brass cross set with onyx ttones to match the vases and candlesticks given before, and a brass altar-desk. In addition to these there is a credence table and a glass silver-mounted fltg on with Maltese-cross silver stopper. All the metal gifts bear the inscription Presented t,) Minera Church by J. R. Burton. November, 1891."

INDUCTION OF THE REV. O. MATHIAS. I This important ceremony occurred en Monday. A tea was given at the Piesbyterian Chapel, when a numerous company sat at the tables, under tho care of Mrs Richard Hughes and Mrs Edward Hughes. Adwy; Mrs John Lewis, Wern Villa; Mrs Job Roberts, Nant; Mrs Smout, Minera Mrs Edward Junes, Nant; Mrs J. Harrison, Manley-road; Mrs Isaac Williams, High-street; Mrs Chowens, Wil- lianis"rerrace; and Mrs Roberts, Gagin; and the Misses Lewip, Wynne, Mytanwy Jones, Jones, Naut, and Norris. In the evening the induction meeting was held at the Baptist Chapel (kindly lent for the occasion) under the able presidency of Mr J. Lewis, Wern V ilia, who, in his introductory remarks. said they Villa,i_n days of great commercial prosperity and scientific progress, and unless they made amide pro. visions for the moral and religious advancement of the masses, this industrial progress would prove It curso instead of a blessing. Industrial progress should at all times be accompanied by moral and religious progress. The Church of Christ should be as active as the world, and its indueLce should pervade and permeate society, high and low, rich and poor. He bODd all sections of the Church in the district would maks rapid progress, not only the Presbyterians but the Wesleyans, Congregationalists, Bal)tibt. and the Church of England. Of late the English language had made rapid progress in the district, ■ and it was only iigl.t that the English tlement should be pro- vided with places of worship. Paul dearly loved his native Htblew tongue, and when, for the sake of his religion, he spoke the Greek tougue he spoke it with a Hebrew accent, and introduced his native idioms into the ttrange language. Paul, dearly as he loved his native tongue, loved religion more. They also had a deep love for the old Welsh language, but they loved religion more, and the time had come when Wales mu&t provide not only Welsh but English places of worship. He was therefore glad of the ad- vent of so able and devout a m»n as the Rev. Owen Mathias iuto the district to preach in the English tongue. The Rev. T. Phennah, Wrexham, then gave the history of Nonconformity in the district, and the Rev. J. Price Davies, M.A., Chester, spoke upon the importance of co-operntion between the church and its pastor.—Mr O. B. Jones, Flint, gave an account of the good work that had been done by Mr Mathias during his pastorate in that place, and the Rav. E. Jerman, Wrexham, dwe;t upon the duties of the church and pastor. and Mr Edward Jones, B.A., Liverpool, gave a stirring speech, in which he spoke of the importance of Non. conformists making a fetand against the pernicious saceidotalism of the Church of England, and the pre- posterous pretensions of its clergy, though he was bound also to express his admiration of the excellent traits of character to be seen in numbers of the Anglican priesthood. The Chairman said it was a pity that so many of its priesthood made these extraordinary claims. He was glad, however, to tell them the Bishop of St. Asaph declarfd on the previous night at the Parish Church that there were several way. to heaven, they could not only look from the Church of England's stations, but they could look from the Nonconformist station* as well, but bis lordship said the Church was the most direct way. He (the speaker) maintained that if they could from the Nonconformist fold find their way to heaven—if they were not in a great hurry-it did not matter whether they saw a few more stars on the way to the realms of Klory, so long as they got there at last. The Rev. O. Mathias at-ked them not to expect too much from him, but he promised to do his duty to God and man. Dr. Gibbons deolared (from the body of the chapel) he cared not a rap for the Church or any other body. Provided they had faith in Christ they were sure of L_ rm • I.11.

I THE G03SIPS' CORNER. I 1 ity it waan t summer. The three houre' snow on Wednesday was very trying to skin and bones. For the aake of economy and the public comfort it would be well if the Gas Company would stop the leakage on Pwll-y-go hill and leave the pipe-track across High-street in a more presentable condition. The straight-forward address of the Bishop at Minera has much pleased the majority ot Noncon- formieta. A new lamp is to be seen above the New Inn daor in Church-street. As this neighbourhood is dimly lighted, it would be a great acquisition to the public if this were put to use on Sunday evening*. The owner would certainly command the gratitude of all concerned. The cost of extending the road from High-street through the brickyard into Church-Street would be very trifling. It is a disgrace as it is now. It is not a small thing to break four panes of glass with four etone3 on a dark night; neither is it easy to find the experts. Fancy over 170 echolars in the first standard at Penygelli schools. Noone has yet offered to take charge of lighting the lamp proffered by Mr J. Davies, Tynycoed. It's high time that Iong-talked-of railway via Vron to Minera was opened.

CAEBGWRLE UaiCKKr CLUB.—The anauai supper in conuection with the Caergwrle Cricket Club took place on Monday evening at the Glynne Arms Hotel. The president, Mr W. H. Roberts, having been detained, Mr W. G. Barcroft occupied the chair, Mr A. Reid acting as vice-chairman. The supper, which was served in the Magistrates' Room, reflected credit on the caters.—Mr Davies proposed the Caergwrle Cricket Club." He congratulated the club on having such a president as Mr W. H. Roberts. He saw by the subscription list that other gentlemen of stand- ing in society were also tqub cribers, amongst them being their county member, Mr Samual Smith.— Mr William Moses responded, and gave a Rood account of the financial position of the club. They had done well in the past season, and they were not afraid to meet any club in the county. Perhaps they were strongest in their bowling, but still they had some good all-rouud men.-lr W. H. Roberti. who arrived late, was received with great applause, and apologised for his absence. He expressed his deep interest in the club, and in the welfare of the members.—Mr W. G. Barcroft, as chairman, was the life and soul of the meeting. Mr E. O. Probert wrote explaining his absence through indisposition, but ex- pressing his desire for their continued success. Capital songs were eung by MessrB Barcroft, W. H. Evans, Samuel Jones, Edward Evans, Harry Jones, A. Reid, &c. The chairman's health was cordially proposed, also that of the president. A vote of thanks to Mrs Piercey and her son closed an enjoyable evening. The batting average reads as follows :—Reuben Williams, 11.1 S. Jone", 10.3 S. Davies. 9; Arthur Hill, 8.1; A. Rig by, 7.4; W.

AMICABLE VESTRY MEETING. _1 A public meeting was held in the Bridge End National Schoo', on Friday evening, to consider the next distribution of the consolidated charities. The l-lev. T. E. Jones presided. Amongst those present were Messrs W. G. Barcroft, Bryutirion. H. Wool- fall, H. G. Robeits, The Towers; E. O. Probert, John Roberts, and Maurice Williams, Hope; Thomas G. Lewis, Brynyoikin E. Evans, Thomas Evans and John Evaua, timber merchants, Wm. Jones, Derby Park; Charles Wm.Edwards, Evan Jones, W. W. Gibbons, Rees, Edwin Edwards, Edmund Jones, J. E. Fidler, Samuel Edwards, and W. Pietcy, churchwardens, Rev. Robert Roberts, Fred Jones, assistant overseer, and Capt. Wilson. The Chairman said he found his parishioners all took a great interest in parochial affairs, and in con- sequence most of them had a great deal to say. He wished to observe it would be better if they abided by some rule, and observed due decorum. Some years ago an irregularity was committed with regard to the parochial charities, there having been given a larger bounty than should have been done, thereby encroaching on the amount required for the following year. They had now only in hand the rents due last August. He would suggest that they give the usual dole of 53, to half the usual number of recipient-9, or half the usual dole to the full number. The rector and churchwardens were not called upon to incur liability by distributing money they had not received. Mr Edwin Edwards asked who were the church- wardens who left the debt. He wanted to know at what date it was incurred, and when left, for at the expiration of his offica the books were clear ? Mr John Bellis said a balance was shown last year of £30; why could they not do it now ? The Chairman said this was caused through using the previous half-year's rent, which should not have been done, and they had been perpetuating this mistake since 1871. As soon as he noticed it, he brought it before their notice. In answer to why this had not been seen before, the rector replied, Perhaps I am a better business man than my predeceasors." (Laughter.) Cdpt. Wilson thought the mistake occurred in the last year of the Rev. Jeremiah Williams' life. The Hector went on to say, if any gentleman pro- posed that this C15 be distiibuted beforehand, he should ask him to give an indemnity for the amount. Referring to the distribution, the rev. gentleman said both he and the churchwardens would be very pleased to consider any list of names of deserving poor brought before their notice. (Hear, he-tr.) Mr Bellis suggested the proceeds of a concert might well be used to make up the deficiency, and then they cou'd start on a fresh basis. Mr Henry G. Roberts disagreed with the sugges- tion that had been made, as to giving half of the dole, it would give rise to considerable soreness in other cases. He proposed Tnat the Vestry suggest3 and recommends the Rector and Churchwardens to give 3s 61 tickets this Christmas for the charity doles, and 43 next year thereby dividing the 2i 61 which it is found necessary to abate over two years, and that five gentlemen each subscribe or guarantee C2 each till the receipt of the March rents." If this was adopted there would he plain sailing. Mr E. Edwards thought they ought to go on as they were till better times. (No, n<\) Mr Barcroft considered 5* was too little it did nobody much good. Let them have less recipient* and more money. Mr T. G. Lewis said this should be left to the rector and wardene. Mr William Jones, Derby Park, seconded Mr Roberts' motion. It would evidently help the rector and wardens. There was greater prosperity this year, and this reduction would cause no hardship. Mr Edward Evans, Hope, proposed they give half now, and the rest at Easter. This was also seconded. Mr William Piercy thought they could get out of this difficulty by a reduction of 25 in each of the next three years. This he proposed. Mr Barcroft supported Mr H. G. Roberts' pro- position. He would go security for E2. (Hear, hear.) Mr E. O. Probert thought Mr Piercey's idea was the most sensible one.. They could not explain to the poor why the reduction was made, for they would never believe the reason. On being put to the vote, seven voted for Mr Roberts' proposition, eight for Mr EvaiiH* amend- ment, and ten for that of Mr Piercy. This means, therefore, that twenty tickets will now be deducted from the doles for each of the next three years. Mr John Bellis had great pleasure in proposing a vote of thanks to the chairman for the Btraightforward manner in which he bad presided. Mr Barcroft seconded, and said it had been a pleasure to be present. The Rector thanked the meeting for its presence, and the valuable discussion that had followed. This meeting was one of the most business-like and good- tempered ever known in this locality.

Peter Owen and John Davies, farm laborers, Llan- efydd, were summoned by Thomas Barker, driver to Mr Stevens, tithe distraining agent, for the Eccles- iastical Commissioners, for assaulting him on the 4th November, at Lianefydd.-Baiker said he had driven trie party ofdiatfuners from Denbigh to Llan. efydd to distrain for tithe. A crowd collected, num- bering about 40 persons, and the two defendants were amongst the number. When at Tadygrait Farm the pal ty left the wagonette, which f-tood in the road, ore of them got into the vehicle and tried to pu",h witness out over the horass, and the other struck him several blows with a stick on the chest. Before that. one got hold of the wheels, and tried to throw the conveyance over with the help ot the other defendant. The police came up and pre- vented them.—Hugh Pritchard, employed by Mr Griffiths, watch-maker, drove the police up to Llan- efydd, and corroborated the statements of the other driver. The defendants struck the two horses in the conveyance.—P.C. Worthington saw the defendants there, and asked them to discontinue their conduct.

Replying to Mr Alun Lloyd, he said he had not seen the assault but he heard.—Mr Lloyd urged that the catching hold of the wheels was because the driver nearly ran over a child.

Love-lane, prose- cuted Edwin Myddleton, groom, for stealing a wash leather, valued at 2* 6 i.-John Elgar, jun., said on Wednesday he went int) the Crown yard to take some fish to a carriage. He was asked if he had been requested to buy a wash leather from anyone. He replied he had not. but as he was coing back into t'ie market he was offered one, and he told William*, who then a*-k< d him to buy it for him, which he did, giving 61 for it -P.C. Farrel deposed to having apprehended prisoner in High-street. He said he had bad the wash leather since the Cavalry were in training. He afterwards said he had stolen it. H-* had been without food, and he stole it to get some- thitir t) eat, and he had spe: t 4d of the money at the cook-shop.—Prisoner said he hoped their Worships would not send him to prison. It was the first time. —Fined 10s, including costs, and allowed a day to pay. Hupt. Vaughan, addressing the Bench, said he did nut find fault with Mr Edgar on that occasion, but it was a practice far too common in that town to buy animals and birds from thieves without taking sufficient care to make inquiries of the seller if they came by them honestly. The police had reason to complain of Mr Edgar for buying several thingp, and it was a bad and dangerous practice to buy thingB from such persons, and he hoped that their Worships would give a warning. If there were no receivers there would be no thieves. Aid. E. T. Jones said Mr Edgar might carry those remarks to his fitter. It was evident that the prisoner knew him as one likely to buy, or why should he go to Mr Edgar more than another person. TOWN COUNCIL, MONDAY.—Present: The Mayor (Mr T. A. Wynne Edwards), Aldermen E. T. Jones and T. J. William", Councillors R. Humphreys Roberts, Boaz Jonea, J. T. Hughes, Robert Owen, W. Keepfer, Thomas Andrews, Thomas Davies, and W. H. Evans. THE WATERLOO HOUSE QUESTION. I The meeting was special in consequence of some correspondence which had been received re the Waterloo House transaction. The Council had agreed to arbitration upon the understanding that a barrister be the arbitrator. Mr John Davies, solicitor, wrote that his clients would agree provided an architect was ointed. RU?'lie Mayor a?id the Council had gone a good way to meet the Crown people, as that was the third attempt they had made at settlement. He mentioned the offers made, which, he said, were fair and liberal, and the third atempt had been madn with a hope to avoid heavy expense in a law suit. No one could say they were drifting into a law suit, and the Council was not alarmed into making those proposals, buT made them simply and solely with a view to helping the Crown people out of a difficulty helpinwg hia ch they had got themselves. They decided on a barrister who was also a practical man, able to decide on points of law as well as facts, and Mr Daviea had declined those proposals unless an architect was employed on each Bide. Mr It. H. Roberts said the reason why they had suggested a barrister was because if they employed an architect they would hare to go to the assizes on points of law afterwards, tmt a barrister would settle both with less expense. The Mayor said the Council bad already decided what to do, and unless someone was prepared to pro. pose something to the contrary they would carry it out. and go to law with their eyes open. Mr Keepfer said he could not agree with the Coun- cil. Mr R. H. Roberts called upon Mr Keepfer to make some proposal that would avert it. Mr Keepfer proposed, and Mr Davies seconded, that the Council build the wall and give the Crown people 225, and each side pay its costs." Mr R. H. Roberts thought the proposal of no use because they had already offered the Crown people more liberal terms than tbose. Aid. T. J. Williams agreed, remarking that the terms were liberal and fair. Mr Davies withdrew from seconding, and the pro- posal dropped, Mr Keepfer protesting against being coerced in that manner. SCHOOL BOARD, TUESDAY.—Present Mr J. Harrison Jones, chairman, Rev. H. Humphreys, lienllan, Messrs Thomas, W. I. Keepfer, Robert Parry, C.C. THE CHUDBEN-a SAVINGS.

It was rec-olveii that no limit should be made as to the amount a child should deposit. It was the opinion of Mr Roberts that the amount of depoait should be limited to Ii a week and not under a penny.—Mr Keepfer thuught that if more than that was accepted, the children might be depositing other people's money.—The Chairman thought it was impossible for them to go into that.—Mr Humphreys thought the school pence had been more than Is a week in some families, and they could deposit 2< if they liked.—The Clerk, Mr U. Humphreys Robert?, mentioned that there was A in hand, the savings since the opening of the bank. There were nearly 100 in Fron Goch school, and about the same number in Boy's Love-lane school. Jn any child's deposits amounting to Cl, that would be put in the Post Office Savings Bank with interest for the child.—Mr R. Humphreys was appointed auditor, the bouks to be audited twice yearly, and quarterly by the schoolmaster and mistress. Mr Harrison-Jones and Mr J. '1.

MI.S ADAMS AND THE DISTRAINT OFFICERS WATCH. I Mrs Adams, for whom Mr Wallace Davies, ap- peared, sued John Jones, County Court bailiff, for the price of a watch which he had three years ago from her. The defendant said he went to Mrs Adams house by order of Mr Joseph Roberts, sheriff's ofifcer, and on taking possession she asked him about the watch. He had not had the watch, and it was only because he was put in possession that he was asked I for it.—Judgment for the defendant. MBS ADAMS AND THE MAN IN PUSS ESSIOX. CHOKIXG I THE SHERIFF'S OFFICEH. <II Joseph Robert@, sheriff s otneer, said he had three warrants to be levied on Mrs Adams house. He asked her if she would pay, and she replied that she did not owe the money. He then put John Jones in posses- sion. About twelve o'clock that night, the man woke him up, and said that Mrs Adams had half murdered him. He then went down with him, and trok Sergt. Jarvis with him.

She threw open the door and blew out the candle, and struck him with her hand on the mouth, and then with his own walking ttick on the head. He received several strokes with the stick. He shouted murder for the first time in his life. (Liughter.) He was not drunk. and did not misbehave himself in any manner.—The Judge said there were a lot of wit- nesHe?, and it was late. They would have the next chapter at the next Court. BEATING AN EMPLOYER WITH A POTATO FORK. I I Jliynu Lloyd, tanner, Urookhouse. Lued his work. man. Thomas Williams, for whom Mr Fred LI.

The horse then ran away, and the drill was smashed, and he claimed £ 1 2* 6d, which was the bill of repair from the foundry. ¡ He met the man returning, and he said he was not ( going to wet his feet by going through the brook. A few daya afterwards he went to the defendant, who was at work in the fold, and asked him for the milk account, which he wished to send away. The defen- dant became angry, and after they had had words the defendant struck him a violent blow on the head with the fork. He claimed £3 3i for the astault.-After a close cross-examination by Mr Fred Jones, in which he repeated that he had nothing against his workman, it was agreed to withdraw the proceedings, the defen- dant to pay 21 li;, in addition to the 21 21 6J alieady paid into court, no costs on either side.
