I BARRY CHAMBER OF TRADE. A special meeting of the Barry District Chamber of Trade was held on Thursday evening, the 3rd instant, at Harry's Restaurant, Barry Dock. when there were present-Mr D. T. Alexander (president), Messrs G. Garnett, B. Lewis, J. Phillips, E. S. Johnson, H. C. Griffin, J. Price, Rees Phillips, T. P. Thomas, J. R. Llewellyn, H. L. Gordon, J. R. Stephens, R. Treharne Rees (secretary), &c. POOR LAW UNION COMMITTEE. It was resolved that the President, Mr George Garnett, and Mr E. S. Johnson be appointed re- presentatives of the Chamber on the committee appointed to consider a scheme for the formation of a Poor Law Union for Barry and district. NEW MEMBER. On the motion of Mr B. Lewis, Mr J. McGill, William IV. Hotel, Cadoxton, was elected a mem- ber of the Chamber. ADVERTISING BARRY AS A WATERING PLACE. Mr B. Lewis drew attention to the necessity of advertising Barry as an attractive seaside resort, comprising, as it did, one of the best bathing places along the Bristol Channel. The matter had been brought before the Local Board, but that body having no power to spend money for such a purpose, the question was referred to the Chamber of Trade, and he was confident that a fund could be raised to extensively advertise the district in the direction indicated. He would, therefore, give notice to move a resolution on the matter at the next meeting. THE GLAMORGAN AGRICULTURAL SHOW. In connection with the proposed holding of the Glamorgan Agricultural Society's Show at Barry next year, the following gentlemen were appointed to co-operate with those selected by the Local Board as a committee to take the necessary steps in the matters :-The President, Messrs H. C. Griffin, senr., Edward Hughes. F. P. Jones-Lloyd, J. Jewel Williams. Rees Phillips, J. E. Levers, T. P. Thomas, L. W. Jones, J. R. Llewellyn, E. S. Johnson, J. Phillips, J. M. Savours, D. W. Savours, and J. A. Da vies. MEETINGS OF THE ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE AT BARRY. The President reported that he had spoken to Mr A. J. Harris, the clerk to the Cardiff Guardians, with reference to the proposal to hold periodical meet- ings of the Cardiff Union Assessment Committee at Barry, and that gentleman had promised to go into the matter and communicate with him further. THE CHAMBER AND HONORARY MEMBERS. It was resolved by a majority of votes not to accept honorary members on the Chamber. P POST-OFFICE AND THE TELEGRAPH. A letter was read from the General Post-office to the effect that the authorities could not see their way clear to make the Pvke-street Post-office, Barry Dock, a receiving office for telegrams. STATE OF ,THE SANDS AT WHITMORE BAY. Mr J. R. Llewellyn brought forward the matter of the deplorable state of the sands at Whitmore Bay owing to the coke refuse having been thrown thereon from the cargo of the ship Vanduara, which went ashore off Barry Island sometime ago, and suggested that the chamber should communi- cate with Mr Robert Forrest, Lord Windsor's representative, asking that steps be taken to effect the removal of the same.—Several members con- curred with the suggestion, and it was stated that unless something was quickly done one of the prettiest spots in the county would be spoilt.—It was unanimously resolved to communicate at once with Mr Forrest on the subject. THE PROPOSED POOR LAW UNION. Mr Rees Phillips, late overseer for Cadoiton parish, in the course of an interesting address, gave elaborate statistics showing how the district, comprising twenty-six parishes, proposed to be embodied, would be largely benefited compared with the existing system of Poor-law government. Dealing with the approximate cost and mainten- ance of the new Union. Mr Phillips suggested that five afres of land be securooat £ 500 per acre, representing A2,500, re-payable in twenty-years, at 3i per cent., by equal annual instalments of A175 18s 6d. A home for 100 paupers, at P.20 per head would entail P, 1,101 kitchen, bakehouse, &c., 4500; siek wards. A500 day-rooms, nursery, &c., £ 500—total, £ 3.500, equal toJE35 per head of indoor paupers, repayable in twenty years, at 3t per cent., by annual instalments of £24G 5s 3d. a Cost of master and matron, 4175 a yeir cook and porter, E105 clerk, £ 52; sundry expenses, ;975-totiLl, £ 407. Relieving officer, £ 130; medical officers, £ 130 rate collectors, 4145 10-total, £ 435. The I annual cost in these respects, therefore, was shown to be 91,264 13s 9d. Taking the approximate cost of building and maintenance of a union for No. 5 district, Mr Phillips proceeded to estimate the buildings at £ 1,500 50 indoor paupers maintained for the entire year, at 6s per head, A780 outdoor relief, Y,1,500 county rates, Y.4,005-total, £ 7,785. The rateable value of the No. 5 District was £ 205,580, which at 4-41d in the £ towards Poor- law purposes, represented X3,780, and at the rate of 4-6 8d in the £ towards the county rates, wa* f-4,005-total, £ 7,785. The amount actually paid by the No. 5 District to the Cardiff Union last year was £ 11,354, so that by the formation of a separate union for these twenty-six parishes a direct saving could be effected of Y.3,569 in one year alone. (Cheers.)—The President and other members felt that Mr Phillips had rendered good service to the movement by the preparation of these statistics, and a committee, consisting of the President (Mr D. T. Alexander), Mr G. Garnett, and Mr E. S. Johnson, was appointed to co-operate with the committee formed by the Local Board to prepare a scheme for presentation to the Local Government Committee of the County Council in the matter.

BARRY BUFFALOES AND THE NURSING ASSOCIATION. The following correspondence has been sent us for publication Barry Dock, April 30th, 1894. MY DEAR SIR,—As a slight token of the appre- ciation by the local Order of Buffaloes of the splendid work being done by the Barry Dock Nursing Institution, the sum of £ 12 15s 6d has been handed to me, with instructions to forward the same to you on their behalf, and for which I now have much pleasure in enclosing cheque. Of this the sum of Alt 3s 6d represents the gross proceeds of an entertainment given by the R.A.O.B. Dramatic Society at Barry Dock on the 11th inst., and the balance is made up by dona- tions, including a cheque for P.1 Is from Mr Robert Duncan. I have been asked to state that all expenses in connection with the said entertain- ment were defrayed by private subscription between the members themselves, and without encroaching in any way upon the proceeds of the sale of tickets. Please acknowledge.-Yours very truly, F. P. JONES-LLOYD. Major-General Lee, J.P. Dinas Powis, 3rd May, '94. DEAR MR JONES-LLOYD,—It was an agreeable incident on my return home last night to find your kind letter and enclosure, and for which I send a receipt. The very substantial aid the R.A.O.B. Dramatic Society has thus given the local Nursing Association, and the sympathetic manner in which you write of the association's work is very gratifying to all of us concerned. As treasurer, I would ask you kindly to express my acknowledgment to all who helped to make your gift such a handsome one.—Yours truly, H. H. LEE. We may add that particulars of the receipts appeared in our last issue.

I BARRY AND CADOXTON I LOCAL BOARD. The monthly meeting of the Barry and Cadoxton Local Board was held on Friday afternoon last at Cadoxton, and was attended by Dr P. J. O'Donnell (chairman), Major-General Lee, J.P., Dr Treharne, Messrs J. J. Williams, George Thomas, F. P. Jones-Lloyd, W. Thomas (The Hayes), W. Paterson, B. Lewis, W. Thomas (Cadoxton), with Mr J. C. Pardoe (surveyor), Mr G. F. Willett (deputy- clerk), and A. E. Leyshon (inspector). A telegram was read from Mr Robert Forrest, J.P., one of the members of the board, expressing regret at his inability to be present in consequence of detention in the House of Commons in connection with the Barry Company's Bill. ESTIMATE OF GAS AND WATER EXPENSES. During the consideration of the Finance Com- mittee's report, which included an estimate for £ 2,250 as allowance for the expenses of the gas and water undertakings of the district during the year, Mr Jones-Lloyd asked whether those works were paying a profit.-The Chairman replied that the Local Board paid a guaranteed percentage of five per cent. on the capital until the completion of the purchase.—Mr J. J. Williams And in the meantime we shall receive the profits of the com- pany. It is quite possible that the money pro- vided for in the estimate may not be required.— General Lee: It is only an estimate to cover possible expenses.—Dr O'Donnell said, as a matter of fact, the gas and water works were doing a larger trade just now than ever.—Mr George Thomas, as chairman of the Gas and Water Com- mittee, said the committee were thoroughly going into the matter of purchase, and he was confident the ratepayers would be quite satisfied when their report was presented. In the meantime he felt it was needless to discuss the question in public. (Hear, hear.)—The matter then dropped. PROPOSED NEW ROAD TO THE BUTTRILLS. The recommendation of the Public Works Com- mittee for the construction of a new road and the deviation of thp old highway between Holton- road and the Buttrills was adopted after a brief discussion, during which Mr William Thomas (Cadoxton) manifested a good deal of excitement. THE APPOINTMENT OF INSPECTOR OF BOATS AND BATHING. The health committee having recommended the appointment of an inspector of bathing and boats on the beach at Whitmore Bay during the summer months, at a weekly wage of 30s, Mr Jones-Lloyd considered the amount was somewhat heavy for a plain clothes man," and was of opinion that an arrangement could be made with the county police to station a man there.—The Chairman said if arrangements were made with the police the man would not be under the control of the board. -Mr Paterson We certainly ought to have a practical man there, who would understand boat- ing, and not allow boats to go out over-crowded.— General Lee We ought also to have a man who knows something about ponies. (Laughter.)—Mr J. J. Williams remarked he did not agree with the suggestion when it was made at the health com- mittee.—Mr Jones-Lloyd proposed, as an amend- ment to the minute, that the chief-constable be asked to find a special constable to do the work.- General Lee seconded.—The amendment was, however, lost; and the original motion was unanimously agreed to. THE PROPOSED INFECTIOUS DISEASES HOSPITAL, A communication was read from Mr R. Forrest with reference to the land required by the Board at the Colcott, and belonging to the Wenvoe Castle Estate, for the erection of an infectious disease's hospital, Mr Forrest stating that one of the fields required was under wheat and the other under clover, and if the Board took over the land they would not only have to pay compensation, but also pay for the crops. The Board must settle with the tenants, and formal agreements would be necessary.—The matter was referred to the health committee. ERECTION OF PUBLIC URINALS. The following tenders were received for the supply of urinals in different parts of the district: —John Bolding and Sons, £ 339 James Allen and Sons, Glasgow, £ 303 17s 6d W. Macfarlane and Company, Glasgow, £ 295 19s 5d; Sessions and Company, Cardiff, 1268 15s; George Smith and Sons, Glasgow, 4246 5s.—On the motion of Dr Treharne, seconded by Mr W. Paterson, the lowest tender, that of George Smith and Sons, was accepted, subject to the approval of the surveyor, THE APPOINTMENT OF INSPECTOR OF LODGING- HOUSES. Mr Edward Rees. inspector of lodging-houses, having resigned his position as inspector of police at Barry Dock, the question of appointing a new inspector of lodging-houses was considered; and it was resolved to formally request Mr Rees to resign his position as such, as he was not now connected with the police force. PURCHASE OF GAS AND WATER DEBENTURE STOCK. It having been ascertained during the negotia- tions of the gas and water committee that the debenture stock of the Barry Gas and Water Com- pany was a first charge on the undertakings, and being irredeemable, it was decided that the Local Board purchase the same. The consent of the holders of the stock having in most cases been obtained, it was resolved to arrange a mortgage deed with the London and Provincial Bank for £ 29,929 for the purpose, the entire amount of purchase-money being £ 160,000 odd.—Mr B. Lewis remarked this action of the Board would greatly facilitate the borrowing of the loan for the pur- chase of the works.—The Chairman, General Lee. and Mr George Thomas were appointed to witness the fixing of the Board's seal to the deed. THE IMPROVEMENT OF CROGAN HILL ROAD. The seal of the Board was affixed to the agree- ment with owners of property giving over land for the widening of Crogan Hill, in view of improved access to the cemetery, the Chairman, General Lee, and Mr W. Thomas (The Hayes) being ap- pointed to witness the affixing of the seal. CONTRACTORS' CERTIFICATES. The Surveyor presented a number of certificates for contractors in connection with private im- provements in the district, and the same were passed.—It was also decided to grant Mr James Fido X40, a portion of retention money of the Robins'-lane and Lee-road contract. PORT SANITARY AUTHORITY. Minutes of the ordinary and special meetings of the Port Sanitary Authority were read and adopted, together with the reports of the different committees connected therewith.

BRUTAL HUSBAND AT BARRY DOCK. DUAL ASSAULT ON HIS WIFE. About three o'clock on Sunday morning last a man named Lawrence Coughlin, labourer, living at 28, Wood-street, Barry Dock, while in a drunken state, struck his wife, Susan Coughlin, with an earthenware dog on the right temple, inflicting a deep wound, which bled profusely. About half- past ten on Sunday morning he repeated his ruffianism, and smashed a large plate on her head, causing another severe wound. Coughlin was afterwards arrested by the police, and the woman was attended to by Dr Lloyd Edwards, the wounds, which were deep protruding ones, having to be stitched.

HEARTS OF OAK DINNER AT CADOXTON-BARRY. The members of the Cadoxton Lodge of the Royal Hearts of Oak Yearly Dividing Benefit Society held an enjoyable dinner at the William IV. Hotel, Cadoxton-Barry, ou Saturday evening last, when about fifty members enjoyed a pleasant repast under the presidency of Dr P. J. O'Donnell. surgeon of the lodge, and amongst those present were Messrs B. Lewis (Barry-road), D. Love, H. L. Jones, D. Clarke, T. Buckler, J. H. Nelmes, R. Wilson, C. Nurton, G. Osborne, T. Kathrens, E. Jenkins, C. Watkins, Captain Robson, C. Whaler, J. R. Llewellyn (Barry Dock Newt), Walter Morgan, J. Miles, &c. The worthy landlord and landlady of the well-known hostelry (Mr and Mrs J. McGill) provided an excellent spread, and the dejeuner was rendered all the more agreeable by the pleasing decorations of the room. After dinner, Dr O'Donnell having been called awav nn professional duty, Mr B. Lewis took the chair, and made a genial substitute. The Royal toast having been duly honoured, a convivial programme was entered upon, songs being well sung by Mr T. Jones, Mr Walter Morgan, Mr J. H. Nelmes. and Mr Rees Howell; with a recitation by Mr T. Kathrens, who gave the evergreen Simon Pure." and Mr T. Buckler sanor The warrior bold:" Letters of apology for absence were read from Messrs D. T. Alexander, Bryneithen D. Rowlands, Cardiff, the venerable retiring general secretary of the society under the auspices of which the gather- ing was held Eli Rees, Whitchurch, the new general secretary; T. Evans, inspector of the lodges; and R. F. M. Shipton, secre- tary of the lodge; and Mr T. Kathrens, in the absence of the latter, said the lodge comprised about 50 members, of whom 12 were initiated during the past year. There had been a considerable amount of sickness in the ranks of the members since last they met on a like occasion, yet the lodge was in a position to declare a dividend of 6s 4d per member entitled to the same last Christmas. (Cheers.) There had been no death duripg the year, and in all circumstances the lodge was in a satisfactory conditipn. (Ap- plause.)-At this stage, Dr O'Donnell re-entered the room, and Mr B. Lewis proposed the toast of The Royal Hearts of Oak Society and all Friendly Societies." In doing so. Mr Lewis spoke of the good work accomplished throughout the country by means of friendly societies, which enabled working-men to provide for themselves and families during periods of sickness and dis- tress. ^Cheers.)—Mr C. Nurton sang" Rather" and Mr H. L. Jones responded to the last toast congratulating the lodge upon the satisfactory number of members and the healthiness of its financial position. He strongly appealed to all working-men to become members of a friendly society for the sake of themselves, their wives and families.—Mr Chant rendered There's danger on the deep" and Mr Neville followed with Grace Darling."—Captain Robson submitted the toast of The Trade of the District." and he did so in a characteristically nautical and amusing style followed by Mr Walter Morgan, who sang I Bias Gogerddan."—Mr J. R. Llewellyn re- sponded to the toast of the trade of the district, a position, he said, he laid no claim to, except so far as the toast was a complimentary one. He was gratified to say the general condition of local trade was more progressive than ever it had been before. The population of the district was steadily growing; the volume of trade at the docks was on an increase, and the general commerce of the district was as healthy as could be expected. Referring to the Barry Bill, the speaker said it was the duty of the rate- payers to support the Barry Company, consistently, of course, with the due protection of their own interests. (Cheers.)—Mr Abel and Mr C. Watkins having rendered a song each, Mr Nurton gave The Press," to which Mr J. H. Nelmes and Mr J. R. Llewellyn (Barry Dock News) responded. Mr T.Kathrens afterwards singing "Pulling hard against the stream"; Mr Neville, Treat my daughter kindly and Mr R. Howell. "Remept- ber me."—Mr B. Lewis proposed the toast of the President (Dr O'Donnell), who. as medical officer, had done much to promote the welfare of the society. Mr Lewis also referred to the admirable and impartial manner in which Dr O'Donnell acquitted himself as chairman of the Local Board, and he hoped both Dr O'Donnell and himself would be re-elected to their public positions under the new administrative dispensations in November next. (Cheers and musical honours.)-Dr O'Donnell suitably responded, and spoke of the remarkable growth of sanitary science in municipal districts during the past ten or twenty years. (Cheers.) He hoped the Barry district would continue to develope towards attaining a position for itself in regard to the model character of its sanitary arrangements. (Applause.) — Mr W. Morgan sang Hen Wlad fy Nhadau and Mr H. L. Jones gave The Vice-Chairman (Capt. Robson), which was also enthusiastically received, and Captain Robson having acknowledged, the toast of the Host and Hostess" followed by the Chair- man, and Mr McGill replied.—The gathering then dispersed amid the strains of the National Anthem. Master Phillip Llewellyn, Taff's Well, was the accompanist during the evening.

"IT TOUCHES THE SPOT." Aye, that is what HOITOCEA." does. And doe* it quickly, too-whether it's a toothache or neuralgia, with all their shooting pains, or eczema, with its painful and distressing irritation- or piles, that make thousands of lives wretched. Rheuma- tism in the joints or muscles has been cured even of years' standing-while for cnte, burns, and bruises it's far, very far, ahead of any ointment that has ever been put before the public. LORD CARRICK says HOMOCEA cured him of bleeding piles, when all else failed; that he gave some to a labourer who was lamed by a stone falling upon him, whom it cured. A woman had a pain, in the elbow and could not bend it for a year, and it oured her, and another used it for scurvy on her leg, and it was doing her good—one letter cloaca from him with the words, It is the most wonderful stuft that I ever came across." LORD COMBERMERE says HOKOCSA did him more good than any embrocation he had ever need tea rheumatism.

TESTIMONIAL FROM THE GREAT AFRICAN EXPLORER, I HENRY M. STANLEY. Whitehall, London. Dear Sir, —Your oint- ment. called BOHCCKA, was found to be the most sooth- ing and efficacious unguent bhat I coultl possibly have for my fractured limb, as it seems to retain longer than any other, that oleaginous- ness so requisite for perfect and efficient, massage. The fault of embrocations, gene- rally, is that they harden mil rflfinirfl wamth. whura- as yours, besides being particularly aromatic, is as soft as oil, and almost instantly mollifying in the case of severe iftflammation.-Yours faithfully, HENRY M.
