The fountain has since been re-erected in the ornamental grounds at the base of the Castle Bank.

Tne interment took place on Wednesday, in the Brompton Cemetery, where some ot his children are interred.

THE NATIONAL TEMPERANCE CONFERENCE. The National Temperance Conference concluded at Chester last week. A letter from Mr Gladstone was read, in which he expressed the opinion that local option was sound in principle, but suggested its insufficiency. The principal paper was contributed by the Bishop of Chester* in which his lordship in discussing legislative remedies for intemperance, sug- gested that public-houses should be in the hands of lrtcal authorities. Many of the views set forth by the Bishop were contested by Mr J. Malins, who de- clared that the temperance party would never agree to public bodies making profit out of the liquor traffic. Other papers on the legislative aspect of the question were read. The afternoon sitting was devoted to papers on auxiliary aids to temperance, and several speakers recited what had been done in their re- spective districts to counteract the attractions of the public-house, and supply innocent recreation for the people whiht various suggestions were made for developing this branch of temperance work.

GOOD NEWS FOR CONNAH'S QUAY. NEW WORKS TO BE ESTABLISHED. It is now definitely stated that Messrs. John Summers and Sons, Globe Ironworks, Staleybridge, have purchased forty-three acres of land adjoining Hawarden Bridge and the river Dee, for the purpose of establishing works for the manufacture of cor- rugated iron. Plans have already been prepared, and the firm expect to commence work in six months' time. They hope to find employment for between 300 and 500 workpeople. The news has been received with satisfaction in Connah's Quay.

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT IN OSWESTRY. Many of the principal residents and tradespeople oi Oswestry are at present greatly interested in the fighting of the town with electricity, supplied by the Oswestry Electric Light Company. A company has been formed with EIO,OC)O, capital issued in 10,000 £ 1 shares. The registered office is at Albion Chambers, Oswald-road, the secretary being Mr W. W. Coulson. The chairman of the directors is Mr A. Wynne- Corrie, Park Hall, Oswestrv, the other directors being Mr G. Perks (Mayor of Oswestry), Mr Robert Lioyd, Rhianva, and Mr Josiah Jones, Salop-road, while Mr E. Bremuer-Smith is managing director and engineer, and Mr C. E. Williams, auditor. The bankers of the company are Lloyd's Bank. Mr H. J. Wall ace Pugh is the solicitor. The company have, under tne superintendence of Mr E. Bremner-Sniith, who prepared the plans and specifications, and carried out the work of erection, built a commodious engine house in the Coney Green. Tne building is fitted up with two 60-horse power steam engines, with boilers of the multitubular or locomotive type, which drive two shunt dyn- amos. each of which is a, thirty kilowatt machine, and capable of running 1,000 lamps. The dynamos are driven by eight ropes from each engine, the object of this arrangement being to work the dynamos noiselessly, and in case of one rope or more breaking the dynamos will not stop. Be- tween the steam engines is placed a water heater for utilizing waste steam and delivering water into the boilers at a temperature of 180 degrees, thus causing a considerable saving in fuei. Tne engines are made by Messrs Marshall and Sons, of Gains- borongh; whose local agents are Messrs John Min- i/uall u Co., of Oswestry. It was not originally intended to run both engines simultaneously, but from the large demands for the light it is expected that both engines will have to be run shortly. The system of distribution is low tension system at a voltage of 105. From the dynamos the current passes to a motor transformer by which it is trans- formed from 100 to 145 volts for charging the storage batteries, the motor being driven by electricity. Above the motor is placed up an interesting switch board, provided by Messrs Parker and Co., of Wolverhampton, with a double pole switch of an improved type, double pole fuses, ammetres and Lord Kelvin's volt metres with resist- ances for regulating the voltage of the current. The cables pass from the motor and the switch board to the battery-room, containing D.P. batteries con- sisting oi fifty-five cells, are so arranged as to supply a enrreat to the town during the time the engines are stationary. By this means the current will be on the town night and day without ceasing. The cables, which are supplied by Messrs Callenders, of Erith, are laid in earthenware conduits under the footpaths, with aecessary junction-boxes for connection with houses and shops. The engines began lunning per- manenfly on Monday week. Considerable interest has been evinced by the lighting of Mr Robert Lloyd's establishment in Cross-street, including 1,000 candle-power lamp at the centre of his build- ings, which illuminated the neighbourhood.

John Evans preached to a large congregation. EVENING SCHOOL.—The evening classes for adults, which were commenced at the Grammar School on Monday, have been much appreciated. The number of scholars at the opening was fifty. This number would greatly increase, but unfortunately the room is too small for the raception of any more pupils. THB LATE MR W RIGHT.—W e record the death of Mr Wright, of High-street, after a brief illness at the age of forty-four years. On Friday evening, October 7th, he contracted a cold, which developed" to acute inflamation of the lungs and pneumonia, from which he succumbed on Wednesday morning.

Roberts had his collar bone injured at the same colliery, owing to one of the tubs tossing over. They are both under the caro of Dr. Roberts at the hospital. THE DRAINAGE OF THE VILI.AJI:.—This is a ques- tion which during the last two years has been prom- inently before the public, but all the efforts to settle the matter have been hitherto unsuccessful. The question, however, has now been grappled with in a most business-like manner by the District Council and the Kuabou Parochial Committee, and on Mon- day the adjourned meeting of the latter was held in the Court Room, when Sir Watkin Williams Wynn presided, and the reports of Mr Martin, of Stour- bridge, upon four different schemes, of which he sub- mitted plans, the question of outf:dls, with which so j much difficulty existed, is overcome in a very practic:tl way, and the work can be done by gravitation. *T\vo j schemes, viz., number one and number two. are found the most practical, but the meeting was ad- journed for further consideration. ECAEOX Pr.oi=i:iav SALE.—On Monday, the 7th inst., Mr Frank Lloyd offered by public auction, in I three lots, property at the Brynfields and at Cefn- mawr. Lot 1. consisting of nine dwelling-houses, known as Stephens-terrace, bringing in a gross annual rent of 193 12s, were knocked down to -?ir John Ellis, of Penybryn. Ruabon, slater, for £ 1.000, Lot 2, consisting of d welling-house and shup at II. High-street, Cetnmawr, became the property of Mrs Sarah Jones, 7, Crane-street, and Lot 3 was knocked down to the same purchaser for X550 after a very spirited bidding between her- self and two other would-be purchasers. There was a large attendance at the saie, and the prices realised were fully satisfactory to the vendors. I Trade is evidently on the tur? for the Letter and properties around YvTertbam seem to be reaching very satisfactory prices, and to sell with more readiness than they have done for some time. The vendors' solicitors were Messrs Wynn Evans and Company, of Wrexham. ENTERTAINMENT. On Monday evening Messrs Theophilus Daniels, the popular Welsh comedian and Harry Clieesman, character and comic singer, gave an entertainment in the Assembly Rooms, which was crowded long before the advertised time to commence. Mr Daniels, who is a native of the j parish, and has had the honour of entertaining the parishioners on several occasions, and on Monday evening he performed admirably. His new chat actji: sketches and songs: Moriarity," Our Bicycle; Club," Welsh idow," and The Shopkeeper," proved equal to any of his former compositions, and kept the audience in a continuous state of hiliarity and laughter. Mr Harry Cheesman made his dcoiit as an entertainer at Ruabon, and hii descriptive rendering of Tlie Skipper's Daughter was very pathetic, and his songs, "Tommy Atkins" and 11 Dear Old Dad," were rendered in a style which left nothing to be desired, whilst his character sketch The North Bandsman was loudly applauded. In response to the demands of the audience he gave March of the Men of Harlech with his famous in- strument in addition to the other items, Mr Daniels gave the Welsh Fusilier," which was as fresh as erer, and secured the unbounded applause of the audience. Mr Philip Yorke, thanked the audience for their presence in large numbers, and he also thanked Mr Daniels for his excellent entertainment. He appeared to have an unfailing store of wit and humour, which he was sure they all highly appre- ciated, and in Mr Cheesman Mr Dauiels had a very able and clever oartner. (Cheers.) The last item on the programme was specially written by Mr Daniels, and was produced for the first time on Monday evening, entitled, A Bit Mixed." Scene, a country lane; characters, Miss Aurelia Gushington, ladv tourist, Mr Harry Cheesman Morgan Price, Welsh countryman, Mr Theo. Daniels. Mr Cheesman very ably sustained the impersonation, whilst Mr Daniels was quiet in his element in his part. \V"e understand, the entertainment will be repeated at an early date.

SUDDEN DEATH.—On Tuesday the attention of Sergeant Challoner was cailed to Roseniarv-Iane by I a crowd of people. it appears that the neighbours of Miss Mary Williams, alarmed at the fact that she was not to be seen, although a fire was alight in the house.

David Jones, now of Cardiff, the English Presbyterian Church in Mold has not been under pastoral charge. And a church meeting held on Tuesday evening, when the Rev. Richard Jones, Mancott, and Mr Hugfc Davies, Hawarden, on behalf of the Lancashire Presbytery, a special church meeting was held, when the votes of the church members were unanimously cast in favour of the Rev. J. J. Morgan, of Cowbridge, Glamorganshire, and it is confidently expected he will respond favourably. The reverend gentleman is the son of the late Rev. David Morgan, Ysbytty, Cardiganshire, the once famous Welsh revivalist preacher, whose ministry was followed with such great results in the years 1859 and 1860. It is expected that the Rev. J. J. Morgan will begin his ministry in Mold about the beginning of the new year. THE COSMOPOLITAN SOCEETY.-Tlie fourth session of this society was opened on Friday, October 4th, when a very interesting lecture was given by Pro- fessor Ellis Edwards, M.A., Bala, on Music in nature."

After a brief introduction bv the Chairman, the lecturer plunged at once into his subject, the fol- lowing being the synopsis :—Music in nature, in rocks, in winds, brooks, rivers, waves, ships, railway trains, in pianos and harmoniums, including tones not intended by the players. He spoke of the minor notes in major tunes, and rice r.er.ia, remarking that the sense of hearing was becoming more perfect, though it would take some centuries perhaps before the sense would become as fine as that possessed by some animals now. The whole lecture was con- ceived on a high level. At the close, a vote of thanks to him was passed, on the motion of the Rev. W. Morgan, seconded by Mr James Jenkins.

The Clerk: I advise the magistrates that the licence is in exist- ence. The Bench said that they were satisfied that they had no power to refuse. and therefore the application must be granted.

Jones presided, and said he w is pleased to be allowed to attend a meeting of tLis lntnre-a. meeting of working men-as he was deeply in sympathy with every workman. He was always willing to render every assistance, personal pecuniary, for the workman's cause.—Mr loan T. Williams, miners ugent. also addressed the meeting at some length. Treating upon the nature of unionism, he stated tilftl one of the chief aspects of union was harmony, and where this did not prevail, it would be impossible lor any real union to exist. Since the formation of the Miners' Federation of Great Britain, they enjoyed many privileges they had not hitherto possessed. The position of workfug men had greatly improved, and they would be able to secure drastic reforms in the future. He would earnestly appeal to all non- union miners present to join at once, as its help would undoubtedly be required at the end of the coti- [ ciliatory agreement in August next year, which wiii most probably he- followed with a stand out.—Mr P. Tomkins, checkweighman It the Wynnstay Collieries, submitted a number of resolutions to the meeting which were unanimously approved.—A hearty vote of thanks was accorded to the chairman, who briefly responded.

THE CHURCH CONGRESS. ( Continual from PaJ-t- ..j The Church Congress had a prolonged debate yes- terday on the National Church. Tii recent attempt at disestablishment in Wel-h dioceses was made the occasion for an exhortation by other speakers to make the Establishment impregnable by judicious reforms. Another discussion took place on the hind- rances to Christian unity in relation not only to Nonconformity, but to the Church of Rome and the Church of the East. In this great diversity cf view was observable. One speaker declared the Fop- to be Antichrist, and held that the Angelican Cnurch was really not good enough to unite with either the Greek or Roman Church. Others condemned all three for their sinful perversity and indifference to Christ's command to seek after unity. A women's meeting was occupied with the injurious influences ou women's minds of amusements. There wLL., a very quiet meeting of the Curates' Union, and meeting; ot working men and working women.
