ON Sunday the sum of E108 was collected at a Calvinistic Methodist Sunday Schoul at Adwy". FOR catching salmon in moat unsportsmanlike fashion, with the aid of torchlight, Robert Roberta has been fined R2 at Ruthin. WITH the object' of extinguishing vagrancy, the Police Committee is to be asked to place a plain clothes constable on duty in Holywell. THE district was visited on Wednesday night by a blizzard. In some places on Thursday morning there were snow-drifts nearly a yard deep. AT the meeting of Rhyl Commissioners on Monday replies, in response to congratulatory votes, were read from the Prince of Wales and the Lord Mayor of London. For obstructing the police at Rhos, two men were each fi Tied El and costs at Ruabon Sessions. For assaulting an officer, a similar fine was imposed at Abergele. THE beginning of the new year was signal- ised on the Cheshire Linea and Manchester Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railways by the abolition of second-class fares. THE National Eisteddfod, to be held this year at R hyl, will, from a communication read at a meeting of the Executive Committee on Tuesday, be attended by the Prince and Princess of Wales. THE Liberals of West Denbighshire are busily engaged in selecting a candidate for the general election. this week Llandyrnog Polling District has decided in favor of Mr J. Herbert Roberts. THE Constitutionalists of East Denbighshire are very unhappy. Last week we reported some significant observations made in the presence of the candidate at Ruabon, and we now hear a similar lament from Cef n. A case, relating to the nonpayment of a gaa rate, excited keen interest at Uverton Petty Sessions. The magistrates dismissed the in- formation. The defezidant's legal expenses have been paid by subscription. THERB were no prisoners for trial at Flint- shire Quarter Sessions on Wednesday. An important conference was held on the licensing question, when strong opinions were expressed on the subjects of tied houses and dona fide travellers. SHOULD a pall be allowed at a pauper's funeral 1 At the Holywell Board of Guardiuna on Friday, Mr Scott Bankes contended it should not, as it was an unnecessary expense. The working classes, on the other hand, according to Mr W. Thomas. considered it was disrespectful to the dead to omit it. ON Monday, Ruthin Town Council had under consideration the question of collecting the tolls. The proceedings were somewhat animated, upon a suggestion that the former collector should be re-instated, but tranquility was secured by the continuance in office for another year of the present official.

THII principal topic discussed by the Njrlh Wales Miners' Federation on Monday on A suggestion of the agent's. Mr Williams, as far as lies in his power, is determined upon promoting to Its fullest extent the efficiency of the organisa- tion. While all equally benefit, some escape discharging the responsibilities of membership. Persuasion having hitherto failed with these erring ones, another form of argument is advo- cated. TEE proposed testimonial to Mr A V. I Humphreys-Owen, chairman of the Mont- gomeryshire County Council, has been most l heartily received. At a representative county II meeting at Welshpool on Monday, a letter was read from the Earl of Powis, who said Mr Humphreys-Owen and he were opposed in politics, a fact which rather added than other- wise to the pleasure he had in assisting to raise the testimonial, thinking, as he did, that when- ever it was possible it ares well for neighbours to forget political differences, and endeavour to work together for the benefit of the community at large. W. give a long summary of the scheme which the Joint Education Committee of Flintshire has submitted to the Charity Commissioners. The Committee is to be commended upon its proposals, which are well conceived to be of the greatest utility to the youth of Flintshire. They are elastic, and as is nearly al ways the case something is likely to appear which has not been provided for, there is no doubt the wise width which has been observed in the framing will meet all difficulties. It is pleasing to lioto the promptitude with which the work has been done, and now we are getting anxious to hear from the Joint Education Committee for Den- bighshire. THB ways of the English are represented as greatly perplexing the foreigner. They occasion- ally bewilder Englishmen, too. Take the case of the governorship of Windsor Castle, which has become vacant by the death of Prince Victor of Hohetilohe-Langenburg. The salary, we learn, amounts to the annual modest pittance of E1,200, and, as a set-off, there are now no duties Those possessing only ordinary common-sense notions, would have thought that the appointment would be abolished. Nothing of the kind. One of the Queen's sons and two pons-in-law are already named as candidates, and the new governor, it is thought, will be found in Prince Henry of Battenburg, who has the good fortune to be the husband of his wife. Eugliah, quite English. National Pensions. IN our Friendly Sociteies' Column will be found an outline of Mr Cham berlain's National Pension Scheme. Mr Chamberlain adheres to his original intention of fixing the age limit at which the superannuation allowance can be claimed at sixty-five, but should a man die before reaching the age of sixty-five there will be a small allow- ance to the widow for a limited period, and an acceptable sum per week for the children until they are twelve years of age. Should the man be unmuried or a widower without children, his representatives can claim a sum equal to the amount that the decessed haa actually paid into the fund. It is, of course, a purely voluntary system. The small amount which the person who wishes to secure superannuation pays into the savings bank at the outset will be supple- mented by a much larger contribution from the State, and after the preliminary deposit all that will be exacted is a sum \,f £1 a year, or a little over 4id per week until the time for superan- nuation arrives. Mr Chamberlain has not omitted from consideration the possibility of these periodical payments lapsing for a time through illness or inability to obtain work. Under his scheme no superannuation policy will be permitted to lapse until an interval (If five yesre has been allowed to the individual to pay up arrears of subscription. It will be open to both sexes to take advantage of the scheme.

The March Elections. THE Liberals are making prepara- tions for the County Council elec- tions in March. Judging by the activity displayed, the interest U1 the work shows no sign of diminishing, and the forecast of some well-meaning individuals has happily not been fulfilled. It is an open secret that in some quarters, it was, naturally more in sorrow than in anger, though: a term of three years' office would cool the ardour < f many enthusiasts, and that afterwards wo should, to all intents and purposes, return to the good old ways of our forefathers. Undoubtedly, the duties that were undertaken haveinsome instances absorbed much valuable time and money, but the result has been all that the county could desire And now we have to decide as to the composition of the Council for another three years. This week, we publish in our correspondence columns, a timely, out-spoken letter from Mr Samuel Moss. Mr Moss strongly believea in the wisdom of conducting tho elections on political lines, and he advances many reasons in support of his views. The farce of non-political elections is ruthlessly handled. In a sentence, Mr Moss thus sums up the position We are a Radical county, let our elected members reflect the opinions of the people. The doctrine is a sound one, %iid unboubtedly will be acted upon. As to the services already rendered, the Liberal representatives have just cause for satisfaction There is possibly a danger, perhaps, of the nature of the dutiea not being as widely understood as is desirable. If this should be the case. let the members seeking re-election give an account of their stewardship We are confident it will be instructive. Amongst other decisions we record to-day the Liberals of Burton have invited Mr Cromar to come out for that division, while the farmers in the neighbourhood of Marchwiel have induced a well-known agriculturist, Mr John Evans, to offer himself for election.

Concerning certain letters. Wz have no doubt many of our readers have enjoyed the delight of Defusing the letters of famous men. Cowper, Lamb, and the gossipy Horace Walpole-to name only a few-have laid bare their minds with a charming frankness, which has enabled the reader to form a more correct opinion of the writers than is sometimes to be gained by the perusal of their public and per- haps more serious works. Those who wave not yet commenced to read such letters, have as Lady Bab s servant in High Life Below Stairs" said to Mrs Kitty, who observed that she never read Shikspur." an immense pleasure to come." But we are now concerned with certain letters which can hardly rank as litera- ture, albeit they are of faultless literary finish Thay deal not with the substantial things of life, but with the transitory and fickle matter of politics It will no do.dbt have been noticed by the intelligent student of modern affairs, that the letter has of late been more and more used as a weapon and a shield. The prominent politician finds that something has been said bv another promaient politician, and to set the mat- ter right-his attention having been duly called to it-he gives his views in the form of a letter, and on the whole the practice is con- venient and commendable. The readers of the Advertiser must have observed that recently our correspondence columns have grown to almost alarming proportions, but they have, we are sure, perused the lettera printed in them with no small profit and advantage. The chit f sub- ject has been the Established Episcopal Church 111 this country. Mr Osborne Morgan must answer for it all, because a remark he made rece.,tly that the Church was as much the pro- duct of an Act of Parliament as the Denbigh- shire County Council, brought upon him and ourselves letters which have rushed onward like a flood. Canon Wes., of Manchester, traversed the statement, aud Mr W. F. Butler in a long, but interesting, letter dealt with the remark We very can fully read both letters, and we think that Canon West and Mr Butlor have rea!ly shown the accuracy of Mr <'sborne Morgan's original statement. If they have not gone all the way, they have Bhown that Parlia- ment has had so much to do with the Church, that it is difficult to quite graitp the subtle distinction which the Canon and Mr Butler see so clearlv. The power of Parliament over the Church is indisputerily very great, aud to attempt to controvert Mr Morgan's statement has yet to be made a success. So much, then, by way of criticism of the local issue and then to consider the absurd and unstatesmanlike letter which Mr Chamber- lain has written, and which has been so com- pletely smashed by Sir William Harcourt and Mr Osborne Morgan. Mr Chamberlain-who forms the subject of a clever cartoon in Punch this fleek-has placed himself in a dilemma He practically says to Nonconformists, If you want disestablishment, vote for the Unionists The absurdity and extfeinv foolisii- nesa of this epistle is exposed in the able letters which are given eisewhere. His grace's gentleman," as Mr Chamberlain has been called, I has not made a very brilliant beginning as the leader of the Unionists. The Times and the Standard are full of warnings to him. They; fail to see any Bigns of ability in it, and the | voters will be equally unrewarded in their search. The whole business is paltry in tho 11, [ extreme, and shows to what a depth a man can jo when in political distress. These tactics aro absolutely dishonest, and we cannot but rejoice that those who indulge in them are becoming more closely than ever allied to the party which has sacrificed everything worth having to remain in office. A few more letters from Mr Chamber- lain, and the defeat of the Unionists at the polla t will be a rout.

THE CASE OF MR EDOAR. — Ou Wednesday evening an influential meeting of ratepayers was held in St. J anus's Hall to consider what steps should he TAKEN to iuduue the Postmaster-General to reiustatii Mr Eduar as postmaster of Wrexham. Mr T. H. Coleman, F.C.S was voted to the chair, aud he invited Mr to make a statement to the meeting.—Mr Edgar then went through the whole of the charges made against him, and gave explanations of them to the meeting, which were considered satisfactory.—At the close of the state- ment Mr Coleman said they were there to consider the present p motion of Mr E Igar. They couid not sit in judgment upon the charges, because they had not the necest-ary information to enable them minutely to do so, but he thought they were all convinced that tho punishment was not in accord- ance to their magnitude, for he believed the meet- ing having heard the ofIuces described were firmly of opinion they arose from a want of judgment rather than au inteutillllalnrglect. (Hear, hear j There was no necessity that he should say anything as to the character of Mr Edgar. He had been atten- tive to his duty, and had always most carefully studied tbe wants and interests of the public. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the charges, he could not help feeling they had been made against him out of spite, and he again expressed the opinion that the punishment was cruelly excessive. (Hear, hear.) He W.8 sure all present felt much sympathy with Mr Edgar, hoth by reason of the way he had discharged his public duties, aud by reason of his private character and he suggested that resolu- tions, embodying the opinion ot the meeting, should be passed and sent to headquarters, as well as to the county and borough members. (Hear, hear.)— Other gentlemen present endorsed the chairmau's remarks, aud finally the following resolutions were proposed :—It was moved by Mr Councillor A. Nuttall, and seconded by Mr S Aston, and agreed to, "That a petition be signed and forwarded to the Po9tmastei -General, praying that the depart- ment would reverse their decision, and re- instate Mr Edgar in his former position at Wrexham, or a similar post elsewhere, at an early date." Dr. Parry-Jones proposed, Mr Wright (IeHr8 Geo. Dutton and Co ) seconded, and it was agreed to—"That taking into consideration the energy eviueed by Mr Edgar in improving the postal service, and providing a handsome and commodious posC-otnce, with convenient AP- PROACHES, thusr assisting in the development of that part of the town, the Wrexham Town Council be asked to move in the matter, and that a copv of the resolution be forwarded to the Town Clerk also that the county and borough members of Parliament should be communicated with, and a copy of the petition backed by that meeting, be sent them, with the request that jthey support the prayer of the petition. "-The proceeedings closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman. 1 I THE FIRE BRIGADE BALL — We are asked to j inform our readers that this b?H. which is fixed for Jann?ry 21st, will be held in the Public Hall and t not St. James's Hall.

Everett, R.W.F., were at the Central Station, in charge of a servant. From some cause not ascertainable, the animal bolted into Regent-street, where it turned into town at a furious pace. When turning the Talbot corner the man was thrown out, and further on the trap was overturned, after coming in contact with the vehicle belonging to Mr Jackson, of Ffrwd, brok- ing the window of Mr Cross's grocery shop. The hortie managed to get on again, and was finally stopped near Mr Lewis' offices in Queen-street. The driver, after being thrown out, was taken to Messrs. Francis and Co.'s shop, where he was found to have sustained a wound at the back of the head. This was dressed, and the inj uries are not reported as being serious. The trap was much damaged, and the horse is said to be slightly cut.

GREAT SNOWSTORM IN THE VALE…
GREAT SNOWSTORM IN THE VALE OF CLWYD. On Thursday morning the waking population of the Vale of Clwyd found that during the night a great fall of snow had occuired. The snow covered everything, and made everything Jevl. The vale looked exceedingly prft y in its white raiment. Strong branches were bowed low by the weight of snow they had to bear. During the night a high wind had prevailed, and the snow was sent into deep drifts, making some of the narrow roads impassable, and suspending the traffic. The trains on the local railway were late. During the day a thaw net ir, and many amusing scenes were witnessed in the streets owing TO the falling snow from the roofs. To. wards evening a severe frost prevailed, and the roads were exceedingly siipperv. There has net been such a deep snow for years. Many have been thrown out of employment. The Mayor of Denbigh (Captain Ellwards) has the opening of the soup kitchen under consideration.
IMR GLADSTONE'S -LIBRARY.
MR GLADSTONE'S LIBRARY. At the first meeting of the second half seision of the Manchester Literary UtUb, held this week, Mr G. Milner, the president, in the chair, Mr R S. Chrystal read a short prper d-scriptive of a visit recently paid by him to Mr Gladstone at Hawardeu. His chief in- terest was in connection with the lihrary which Mr Gladstone has been recently housing in a building erected for the purpose. The liberary is specially rich in theology there is an unusually large collec- tion of hooks relating to quakerixtn. Scottish history lias had a great at traction for the veteran statesman, and he has brought together a goodly gathering of works on the subject. Everything in the library is arranged and classified in n scientitic manner, and economy of space is one of the moft sti iking features. There are two large rooms, and the caies are parallel with the walls. About 30,000 volumes now form the library and there is space for some 10 000 more. The shelves are all fixed in the cases, and Mr Gladstone's explanation of this heresy is that they are ait made strictly by rule to contain a certain size of books.

The Improvement Committee reported that in accordance with the resolution passed at the previous meeting they bad inspected the Ctfn Eurgain road. Mr Ellwocd, a member of the committee, said he did not consider the road one which it was advisable should be taken over by the Board. It was only seven feet wide and quite impassable, and if Fucti road as this one wai adopted the Board would be stormed with similar applications, some of which it would be difficult for it to refuse. Mr John Jones thought Mr Ellwood was inclined to create obstacles. Th. re were several places where vehicles could pas, and as a matter of fact a vehicle and A threshing machine h.\d passed each other in the road. It was only a slioit distance, and anyone coul 1 see it from end to end. Mr Blackwell supp"T«R< having without difficulty PASSED vehicles ON f r:e road. The Board had a discretion as to what roads should be adopted, and they need not take any it they were not satisfied that the public interest would be best served thereby. Mr Foulkcs considered there were other road s of much greater importance t han the one in question, the traffic upon which 'IV:'oS quite inconsiderable, and he thought that to adopt it would be to create a bad precedent. Upon the motion of Mr Blackwell, seconded by Mr Ellwood, it was resolved that the further considera- tion of the subject be adjourned to the next meeting, the question of cost to be ascertained in the mean- time by the Clerk.

Alrfoulkes reported that great colup-allir4 were being made of the state of the road at Abfraini, A portion of which leading from the limekiln to Plas Evan was in a deplorable condition. Tnere was no provision for storm water, which was therefore now- ing down the centre of the road, and accidents to horses had in consequence occurred.—The attention of the surveyor was ditected to the matter, and he was instructed to open the water course and du what was necessary to effect a rpmedy. ROAD MATERIALS. The surveyor was instructed to purchase picked stones from land in cases where he thought them suitable for road-mending purposes.
