RAILWAY PLEASURE AND RAILWAY WORK. The railways of the United Kingdom have now reached a position of activity and high pressure which they never before attained. There are several causes for this. The country at large is prosperous employment is plentiful, wages are bigh, and railway travelling has become a necess- ity more than it ever was before and then rail- way directors have of late studied the interests -and the pockets of the great mass of their patrons more than they have ever before been studied. And now the excursion season is setting in fast and furiously. We heartily hope that the next four Or five months may be thoroughly prosperous for the railway interest, for this is now one of the greatest interests:of the country, involving the entire or partial incomes of countless thousands 'ot share-holders throughout th e kingdom, and the employment of a very large section of the working class. But, heartily as we may desire this, the question arises whether our railway directors} al- ways take the best means to secure the prosperity. Several weeks of uninterrupted success and of large profits may be!at any moment married by an unforeseen accident, doing immense injury immediately to rolling stock and entailing heavy losses for compensation. Whether the risk of these calamities can be lessened is really a matter of vital importance to the public in more ways than one. Now, let us look at one or two hard and stubborn facts bearing on this matter. A few days ago an inquest was held on the body of a plate-layer in the employ of one of the:Railway Companies the poor man was killed through in- experience, an official of the company having given evidence to the effect that the man "had not been long enough on the line to learn the art of self-preservation." It seems that thediceaaed was only a supernumerary, and had not been em- ployed long enough to be entitled to a book of rules or instructions. Really this is very startling in- formation. Why, common sense would tell any outsider that it was just because the man was a supernumerary—just because he did not under- stand the application of the first law of nature, self preservation, under his new circumstances, that he the more needed the book of rules or in- structions to guide him. On another inquest we have the evidence of a signalman which clearly brings under the notice of thellpublic what they knew well before, but which ds only now and again forced on their attention by some disastrous accident arising from some of the men being called on to accomplish work which is too heavy and severe, and frightfully perilous to travellers and railway servants. We have indeed had very little reform in this matter since Mr Bass strenuously protested against the over-labour of our railway employes, and the consequent danger to the tra- velling public. The ellt re subject is of spt-cial importance just now when "third class by all trains," fine weather, and general excursionising increase railway activity and multiply at once the duti.8 of railway servants and tho chances of acci- dent. As we write we cannot help the misgiving that at any moment some terrible railway calamity may occur to illustrate these remarks, but we earnestly hope that nothing of the kind may hap- pen. But it is a remarkable and leinentable fact that it is only when the evidence relative to the causes of any railway casuality is published, that tie public have a clear understanding of the details of railway travelling. Under ordinary conditions probably not one travelling in a hundred has any conception of the dangers he has passed in a journey of perhaps only half a doz.'n miles. ludeed it is on the shurt journeys that the dangers are multiplied out of all proportion to the dittallce-except with regard to excursion trains, and then a new element of danger—-that of irregularity -comes into play. Accidents to excursion trains are more frequent than to any other class of train, and this renders the whole subject of special moment just now. The excur- sion season is the season of more work to railway servants it is pleasure on the one side, and ever- work on the other and not seldom what:is sport to some becomes death to others. Railway Directors should s. e to it that tlvre should be voluntary reform in this exacting and perilous ever-wrvk. It would be the cheapest palicy in the "l1d.

5ml JttUIligeiuc. I TABERNACLE ENGLISH INDEPENDENT CHAPEL. —The Rev. J. Farr, of Mount Stuart Chapel, Cardift, has accepted an invitation to heoome the pastor of the Tabernacle Congregational Church, in this town. The Rev. gentleman will com- mence his duties on the 16th of June. The building is now undergoing considerable internal alterations, and will be reopened on the above date. CAEPENTEES' STRIKE, We understand that the strike amongst the carpenters is still pending. The men ask for an advance of 15 por cent, whila the masters refuse ts give more than 10 per cent having recently adopted the nine hours' system. W Eun CHORAL SERVICE. — On. Thursday last a Welsh choral service was held in St. Elvan's Church. In the morning, at ek-ven o'clock, the Rev Canon Jenkins, D.D., officiated at a com- munion service, and in the evening, at half-past seven o'clock, a full choral service was held. The musical arrangements for the occasion were under the direction of Mr. W. R. Prothero, St. Fagan's, who also efficiently conducted the choir, which consisted of the whole ot the St. Fagan's choir, and some members of the llir- wain and Cwmbach cnoirs. There was a numer- ous attendance of clergy, and the congregation in the evening completely tilled the large and beautiful edifice. The servica was intoned by the Vicar of Aberdare and the Rev. 1. D. Jeukins, I.L.B., Vicar of St. Fagan's, The careful training the singers had received was manifested in thj excellent manner in which the following anthem and chorus were rendered0 deuwch i'r dyfroedd" (Eos Llechyd), and the "Hallelujah Chorus." We must not omit to mention that the authorities provided the choristers with an excellent cold collation. REV. DR. JENKINS' TESTIMONIAL.—At a very influential, well attended, and animated meeting of the Committee of the above Testimonial held t, at the Central Committee Rooms, Crown Hotel, Aberdare, on Wednesday evening, the 22nd inst, under the auspicious presidency of D. Davies, E-q., Bryngoiwg, and the vice-presidency uf the Rev. T. Johns, Ynyslwyd, when after reading a letter from Mr D. Evans, agent, Bl iengwawr, apologising for his absence and expressing his desire to be registered as a subscriber to the above object, it was resolved that sub-committees be formed, in Mountain Ash including Capcoch, Cwmbach, Aberaman, Cwmaman Trecynon, including Tregibbon, Cwmdare, Hirwain, and Cwmrhondda, to act in concert with the view of canvassing for donations towards the testimonial. Also that the several local committees act col. laterally, independently, yet in unison with the several friendly and bent-fit societies, established in each of the said districts. Also, that collection books be issued with printed headings explana- tory of the object in view, and to certify the full authority of the within named collector. That 1. Davies, Esq., West of England Bank, and T. B. Powell, Esq., Brecon Old Bank, be asked to become additional treasurers, (to which request they have since very readily acceeded). Also that the central committee meet every alternate Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock, (dating from the 22nd inst.) at the committee rooms to direct mat- ters relating to the testimonial. Also, much to the credit of the Committee, it was unanimously resolved that no money be allowed from the Testimonial Fund for refreshments that may be consumed at the committee meetings. Also that in future the Rev. T. Johns, Ynyslwyd, be chair- man elect of the central committee. The meeting was highly gratified with a written announcement from the Orange Friendly Society, held at the Iron Bridge Hotel, intimating their full concur- rence and promising their hearty support. The firemen of Gadlys also gave welcome encourage- ment, after which a hearty vote of thanks to the Chairman closed the meeting, which was through- out of a very enthusiastic character, and gave good augury of the vicar's testimonial becoming a grand success, highly flattering to himself as well as to the people of Aberdare and its neigh- bourhood. 1. A WELSH VETERAN.-The death is announced, at the age of ninety-nine, of a veteran who took part in the memorable retreat to Corunna under Sir Johif Moore. The deceased, Jonas Williams, a Welshman, joined the 1st Regiment of Guards in 1801, and served at Corunna, at which time the late Lord Clyde was an ensign, and was one of the retreating party. Williams was taken pri- soner, and for three years confined in an Alpine fortress, whence he managed to effect his escape, tramping, through France and getting over in a fishing smack. In 1814 he was in the Coldstream Guards, but arrived too late for Waterloo; and in 1825 he received a pension of 9d. a day. Till twelve months ago he was a hale, hearty man, and worked at his trad:: as a tailor, but latterly he was in needy circumstances, and was assisted by a charitable society in Westminster. HARVEST PROSPECTS.—The Mark Lane Express reports that the weather of the past week having considerably improved, there has been no further advance in wheat. The cold winds, with a fre- quent touch of frost by night, has been sufficiently severe to do considerable damage to the forward potatoes, and we fear that the apple crop will again turn out short, and most other fruit be little better than a failure. We want warm nights after these chilly rains and hail storms to make vegetation advauce steadily. A reaction in the price was to be expected on the return of tine weather, but whether we shali permanently get it seems doubtful, and this indisposes holders to accept less money. France has shown signs of giving way, and Paris has declined Is. 3d. per sack for flour, and Is. 6d. per quarter wheat, and Belgium seems on the point to follow this move- ment. With fair supplies Dantzic, Hamburg, and Pesth show a rathes lower range of prices, and it appears that three-parts of Germany were in great want of rain. The better prices lately paid have encouraged farmers to thrash more, and our suppile, of last week exceed those of 1871, and are only 2a. 6d. per quarter below them.

ABERDARI2 POLICE CJUR1\ TUESDAY. — (Before J. C. Fowler, R. Rhys, and J. Lewis, Esquires.) INEBRIATES.—John Thomas and John Jones were charged with being drunk and riotous at Mountain Ash. P.C.

Whitney proved having served the summons at his lodgings. Mr David Dyer, landlord of the Bl-en gwawr Inn, stated that the defendant came to his house on the 7th. May, about half-past II o'clock at night. He did not ask for any beer, but took Uola of another man's pint and drank the beer. He afterwards offered to fight any man in the place.

Fined 20s. and 10s. 6d costs. PERMITTING DRUNKENNESS.—William Bowen, landlord of the Bridgend beer-house, Cwmaman, was charged with permitting drunkenness at his house, on the l^th May. P.C. Whitney deposed that at a quarter to 10 o'clock on the night in question be visited the house in company with Sergeant Melhuish, and fuund two men in the front room with a pint of before them. In another room there were eight men, with three pints and one quart of beer and a divider glass. One of the drunken men had the quart in his hand, and was attempting to sing. He staggered across the room when dividing the beer amongst the other men. Another man got up to drink, but stag- gered in so doing. One of the men had been turned out of the Cwmueol Inn previously. The landlord said they had only been there a very short time. One of the men got up and said, "I am not drunk." He was, however, staggering at the time. Witness saw one of the men a short time after on the road. He was drunk, and said he had been drinking since Tuesday. P.S. Mel- huish said that having heard tlig evidence of last witness, he quite concurred wifli it. Saw one of the men half an hour after, and the road was not wide enough for him. Some of the men were in a beastly state of drunkenness. In defence, the landlord said the men Wrrenot drunk. They had come there tu drink a littio "allowance" from the t works. P.S. Melhuish said complaints had been made by Mr Elliott about this house. D ivid Davies, called by defendant, said he was pres tit when the constables called. He saw nothing the matter with either of the men, all being sober, Seven quarts of beer were drunk between five. | They got an order from Mr Snape through their foreman to get the beer at the defendant's house. The police came in like men who had lost their temper as the company were s')out going home. The company had been in the house about an hour. Both constables said the witn ss was drunk at the time. John Pi ice said he was also present when the constables came. The men were all sober, and sitting down quietly. John Francis and Daniel Evans gave similar testimony. The Benoh adjourned the caae for a we-, k, to ascertain whether any man in the house had been refused beer in another house. INFRINGEMENT OF LICENSK. —Josiah Emanuel, landlord of the Crown and Anchor, was charg d with permitting drunkenness. P.S. Melhuish stated that at ten minutes past one o'clock in the day, hearing loud talk, he went in and saw three men sitting down wit!i a pint of beer before them. Two of the men w^-re very drunk. One of the drunken men he saw coming down the road an hour previous, assisted by two other men. He told the landlord he was doing wrong in supply- ing the men with drink. He replied that they appeared sober when they came in. The landlord, in defence, said a man named Howells came in and called for a pint of beer, which was supplied to him. The other men came in subsequently, and had share of it. P.C. Evans corroborated the Sergeant's evidence. Mr Rhys remarked that the defendant had only recently bad the house. Defendant: A week, sir. The Bench fined him 20s. and costs. STMILAR OFFENCE. — David Thomas, landlord of the Ship and Castle, Cwmbach, was charged with permitting drunkenness. P.C. Williams went there at a quarter past two o'clock on Mon- day afternoon, the 20th May. Saw a large crowd opposite the public-house, and two men drunk and fighting. The men had been turned out of the house. Inside he found nine persons, with two half-pints. One man wa3 drunk and two others under the influence of drink. He visiied the house again at 7 o'clock and found fourteen men, three being drunk, with five pints and two quarts containing beer before them. At 10 o'clock, the same night, he found ten men, four of them drunk. Two of the men he found in the house at 7 o'clock were then present. He spoke to the landlord about it. He raplied, It is only Dan and David, they are the worst. I'll get rid of them now." The landlord, in defence, denied there were any drunken men present. P.C. Loyns was called and corroborated the other con stable's statement as to the visits at 7 and 10 o'clock. There was no mistake as to drunken men being there. Two witness were called in defence, but neither of them Could swear that th■" men in the house were sober. The Beneh inflicted a fine of 50s. and costs. TRESPASS.—William Davies and John Evans, lads of about 14 years of age, were charged with trespassing in a grass field at Blaenamanfach, on Sunday, May 19th. P.C. Whitney proved seeing the defendants, amongit others, in the field, the property of the Cwmaman Coal Co. The damage was laid at 2J. The Bench ordered them to pay 2d. compensation, Is. fine, and costs to be divided. COWARDLY ACTION.—-David Williams, haulier, was charged with assaulting Mary Ann PLlillips. Defendant did not appear. P.C. Whitney having proved service of summons, complaina it stated that the defendant kicked and beat h r on the road, and pulled her by the hair of the head. The defendant used to be her sweetheart, but she was now keeping company with another. It was done out of jealousy. Margaret Jones gave corrobora- tive evidence. Fined 40s. and costs, ia default one month's hard labour. AFFILIATION.—Howell Lewis was charged with being the father of the illegitimate child of Mary Davies, born on the 8th Nov. last. The praternity was admitted. The Bench made an order for the payment of 2:i1. 6d. for the first 52 weeks from application, 2s. a week after, and costs. THE CAUBRIAY HOfEL LICENSE. — Mr Frank James made au application ou behalf of Mr David Davies, of the Cambrian Hotel, who hal been deprived of his licence last Tuesday The late tenant was Mr Joshua Morris, and some time ago an endorsement was made to Mr Davies. The endorsement authorised the new tenant to carry ou business till the transfer day. Since that it had been adjourned, and on that day week the Bench refused to transfer the license. He uo.v asked the Bench t) reconsiier their deoision. It was true the license itself was not at all affected, the original liceusee having a right to sell beer, but the latcer was a builder, and it would no: suit him to do so. It appeared to him (Mr James) that the Beach had exercised enormous power in this case, having had the effect of closing the house since last week, and not upon any sworn testimony, but simply be- cause the wife of some man came there, and said that her husband had been made drunk in that house. Mr Rhys It was sworu evidence. Mr Fowler read the evidence of John Richards giveu last week. Mr James assuming the man to hav been drunk in the house, the maximum penalty for such an offence, he contended, would be £5 but in this case no charge had been brought against Mr Davies. The Bench had inflicted upon him a punishment which far exceeded what the law itself intended, and he now asked them to reconsider the matter. Mr Fowler reminded Mr James of the whole of the facts. According to the evidence the man Richards had been sup- plied with beer at the Cimbrian and was so drunk that he had to be taken to the statiou in a wheelbarrow, and yet Mr Davies came to them as a fit and proper person to have a license. Mr James observed that Mr Davies had been five years keeping a licensed house without any charge against him. After some further con- sideration, Mr Fowler remarked that he did not thick the case should be re-considered until the same magistrates were present. He thought Mr Williams should be there again. Mr James ob- served that it was a very bard case that a gentle. man with such very extreme views should be allowed to take part in licensing cases. Mr Fowler said it would be a slur on the Beuoh to insinuate that they were influenced by any private feelings in the matter. Mr James Will you allow it to stand over until this day week ? Mr Fowler Yes, until Mr Williams is present. AFFILIATION CASE.-George Parker, a collier, was charged with being the putative father of the illegitimate child of Elizabeth Lloyd, a young girl 15 years of age. Mr Simons appeared for the complainant, and Mr Phillips for the defendant. It appeared from complainant's statement that the child was born on the 3rd of April last, de- fendant being the father. At the time of the in- timacy she was a servant at the Prince of Wales public-house, and defendant lodged next door. He used frequently to visit her at the public- house, and to walk out with her at night. Char- lotte Rees, a girl of 17, a companion of the com- plainant, proved having seen them together on many occasions, aud had witnessed acts of famil- iarity. The Bench, having heard the evidence for ttte defence, were unanimous in making the order of 2s. 6d. a werk for the first 6 months, 2s after, 5s midwife, and oosts, inoluding advocate's fee.

ABERDARE BOARD OF HEALTH. The usual fortnightly ^meeting of the above Board was held at the board-room, Old Town Hall, on Thursday, when the following members were present: Messrs R. H. Rhys, (iu the chair,) J. Lewis, W. Davies, D. Davies, and the Rev. Dr. Price. The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. ASSISTANT INSPECTOR'S REPORT. from the report of the Assistant Inspector, it appeared there were 62 fresh cases of small-pox, being a decrease of one over the previous fort- flight. There were 7 deaths during the same period, being a decre ase of o. The disease had broken out in Scales Houses, Llwydcoed, and there were also fresh cases reported in Cwmdare and Cwmbaoh. The Chairman feared the disease might prove troublesome in Scale's Houses, the dwellings being small and overcrowded. INSPECTOR'S REPORT. The Inspector of Nuisances' report contained the usual complaints, which were ordered to bo seen to. SURVEYOR'S REPORT. The following report of the Surveyor was then read o Surveyor's Office, 30th May, 1872 ° 1^e. A-berdare Local B^ard of Health. Mr Chairman and Gentlemen,—I beg to lay before you a plan and section, specification, and estimate, of the probable cost for the proposed improvement in Gadlys-road, as follows [H ere follows estimate.J I have also tested the disinfecting apparatus and fouad the thermometer to indioata 115 (le. grees in 3o minutes, and the one which I placed inside had burst. I have also in company with Mr E. G. Price examined the spot of ground to trecta an uriual, near the Horse and Groom, for which I estimate as follows.—[Here follows estimate.j I have also received from Messrs Kenway and Co., annexed plans for uiw street near the Cot- lierv, IVUfa-road, to be called Bidlwyu-street. Building Plans. — I have received building plans from the following-nacn-d parties, to whom leave be not granted to build:- William Ed- munds, a warehouse and coalhouse at the back of No 14c, Wnitcoinbe-street, the said plans not being in accordance with the 12th and 13th bye- laws of this board, William Davies, No 27, Bell-street, two houses opposite the Cemetery Lo Ige. J. W. Jones, a shed aud loft at the back of his premises, Cemetery-road, until I ex- amine his plans and the ground.—I am, Mr Cnairmau and geutleinan, your obedient servant, RODDAM C. HALL, Surveyor. The plans of the proposed improvements in Gadlys-road were approved of, and it was order- ed that tenders be advertised for. The Chairman remarked that now they were about the alterations in Gadlys-road, it would be well to put up urinals at certain spots. The proposal was agreed to. Oil tne motion of Mr. Lewis, the Surveyor was ordered to see the churchwardens and ask for permission to put up a similar erection near the entrance to the Old Church. THE LATE SURVEY. The following communications were afterwards read Aberdare Iron Works, Aberdare, 20th May, 1872. To the Chairman aud Members of the Local Board of Health. Dear Sirs,-I beg to send you herewith the re- ply from the Treasury to the reasonable request I had the honour to transmit to the authorities at your request; and I can only, as a fellow- sufferer with yourselves, and the great interests you represent, regret the disappointing decision come to by their lordships, and remain, Yours truthfully, RICHARD FOTUEROILL. Treasury Chambers, 14th May, 1872. Sir,-The Lords Commissioners of Her Majes- ty's Treasury have had before them the mem- orial of the Local Boaid of Health of Aberdare, of August last, praying that the debt of £õ00 due by them to the War Department for the special survey of the Aberdare District made some years ago may be remitted, and, further, that a portion of the sum (JEi.,296 12s 41) re- paid by them to the War Office on account of that survey may be refunded, on the ground that H. M's Goveruir ent is surveying on an eularged scale the coalfield of Souta Wales, which in. cludes Aberdare, and that the existing survey and plans will be material assistance, and will save much expense in the construction of the new plans. I am to express to you the regret of their lordships that they caunot entertain this appli- cation. The cost price of the survey was not charged, and if the larger survey had not been undertaken, the sum by which the charge fell below the cost price would, have represented so muoh loss to the public. The district of Aberdare would certainly not have been prepared to make good this loss, and, in the converse case, their lordships cannot ad- mit that the district has any fair claim to deprive the Government, or, in other words, the tax- payers generaliy of this advautage which has accrued. The District of Aberdare has had an advan- tage of its own over other parts of the country included in the larger survey by the speoial sur- vey of the district having been completed several years sooner.—-I am, sir, your obedieut servant, WILLIAM LAW. This was all the business of public interest.

MK. J. C. FOWLER OX THE LICENSING QUESTION. Mr J. C. Fowler, stipendiary magistrate of Merthyr Tydiil, and deputy chairman of the Glamorgaashire sessions, in a letter whcih he addressed to the Times on the Government Licens- ing Bill, aays My experience in licensing, extending over near 20 years, in a very populous district induces me to ask your permission to say a few woids on the subject. I presume that the end which all classes of reformers have in view is, not the closing of public-houses per se, but the dimin ution of drunkenness. Reformation is tobe sought for, not in the indiscriminate suppression of licensed houses, but in such enactments and guarantees as will by degrees get the lie enses into the hands of persons who, from one motive or another, will conform to the conditions contained in their.. The landlords themselves are the best of all police; they are almost always at home, and if they are conscientious traders they can easily prevent excess. The existil)g holders of licenses differ greatly in character and status. There are honourable and conscientious men who will tolerate neither drunkenness nor disorder, and manage ao to conduct their business as to avoid complaints or fines for 20 or 30 years. Others are negligent in their management, and some deliberately seek profit from permitted drunkenness..The latter are for the most part oc- cupiers of small beerhouses, furnished and worked with a few pounds of capital. Their stake and responsibility are small, and the pro- fits of permitting drunkenness are more influ- ential than law or license. If we can get rid ul. together of this class of license-holders an in- calculable amount of public drunkenness will immediately disappear. Now, the Government Bill will go a great way towards effecting this reform for I believe that, as the worst houses are in general the smallest, and often of an inefficient annual value to carry a license, a careful re-asessmnt under Section 47 will be the means of closing hundreds of wretched tenements which ought never to have been licensed at ail. Secondly, the power given to the licensing authority to disqualify the house itself for two years on proof of three re- corded convictions will have great influence on the side of good order and sobriety by causing the owners to take pains in the selection of ten- ants, and to secure the power of ejecting the tenant on certain specified breaches of his license. If this guarantee were withdrawn it would be a retrograde step, and tenants would be se- lected with less care than ever; for it should not be forgotten that public-houses may be and are closed under the existing laws on proof of re- peated offences. But if Parliament will not allow the house to be disqualified, whatever the dis- orders in it may have been, the owner will no longer have any interest in or influence over the management of it. At present he is greatly in- terested for the reason I have given, and by the enactment of Section 29 he will be still more so and a more valuable aid to the licensing autho. rity in securing tenants of good character cannot be fouud. I think, however, the disqualification of the house might bo limited to one yoar, in lieu of two, without losing much of its effects. It is to be hoped that this all-important section will not be rejected or withdrawn. The other enactments are of secondary im- port mce in comparison with thes If our licenses are hencefoith intrusted to persons of more capital and good character, and a code of moderate regulations be enacted, all that can be done by law to prevent drunkenness will have befan done. The habits of the people art; incon- sistent with the suppression of the liquor trade, and in vie. of those habits suppression would not succeed. We must fall back upon regulations and enactments, of which the true end and object should never be forgotten -namely, to make the landlords themselves the guardians of sobriety."

MERTHYR BOARD OF GUARDIANS. The weekly meeting of this board was held on Saturday, Mr David Davis in the chair. There was a large attendance of guardilus. The master reported the number in the house, 267; corresponding week of last year, 300 number ordered in the house last week, 26 j none returned. A TIMELY PROPOSAL. A communication was read from the Guard- ians of the Ulverstone Union, Lancashire, ask. ing the co-operation of this board with respect to petitioning Parliament in favour of certain pro- visions in the Masters and Servants (Wages) Bill about to be considered. A form of mem- orial to be adopted by that board was submitted. After setting forth the acknowledged boon by masters and men in that district with respect to a weekly deduction from wages to meet necessi- ties when unable to work tlirough sickness, it II prayed that due regard would be paid in the coming measure to these advantages. They viewed with alarm the consequence of such an arrangement being terminated by Act ot Parlia- ment, inasmuch as the growing improvidence of a lai'ije section of the labouring classes, eveu with the high wages they were receiving, induced them to seek th.) aid of the rates in periods of temporary difficulty. If t.ie proposed measure compelled masters to pay men in coin without being allowed to make such provision for sick- ness or accident, au addition to the a'uount of poor relief would be the result in every union similarly circumstanced to that of the mining district of Ulverstone, where, last year alone, the sum of £7,000 had been expended in assisting the workmen, many of whom would otherwise have come upon the union. Mr J. W. James objected to any such mem- orial, or any kind of measure waich embraced the truck system. If any Incj proposed its adop- tion by this board, he woull decidedly move au amendment. Mr R. H. Rhys, after some preliminary fen- cing with Mr James for usiug the word truck, moved that this board should adopt a similar tnemorial. His idea of truck was selling goods to workmen without giving them any option, and stopping their money whether they chose to pay or not. After pointing to articles in respect of which stoppages would be legalised, the speaker asked whether any man would urge whether the stoppage of money for a sick fund was truck. They saw the benefit of it every week at this board. At Dowlais about £ 6,000 per annum was deducted from the men's wages; that money was kept apart fro u the money of the company, and a committee of the workmen had the sole control and management of this tund. What could be more henefieial than an arrange- ment of this sort, which allowed a sum fortnight- ly to every married man when sick ? And if they wished an illustration of the good effects of this provision, let them look at the small pro- portion from Dowlais wh ) applied for relief in this room as compared with other works. The Chairman seconded the proposition, re- marking thfit dwy had had a similar fund at his collieries fortTie past twenty years, entirely man- aged by the men. Mr Rees E. Davies (barrister-at-law) also ap. proved of such provisions, pointing to the illus- trations which were constantly afforded in the relief list of the improvidence of the working classes. He disapproved of the term medical truck being applied to this case, and thought they need not Hesitate to make the suggestions embodied in Mr Rhys's proposal. Mr J. W. James said, with regard to the word truck, to wideu Air Rays objected to his using, he contended that it was a perfectly legal purase. It was truck by uame and trucii. by nature. The speaker wili here interrupted by members of the board, during some discussion, the rules observed at Dowlais, Cyfarthia, and the ohair- man's collieries were referred to, after which Mr James proceeded. He objected to this board acknowledging the truck system in any shape or form whatever. In works where one medical man was employed it was impossible to please them all. Here, at Dowlais, or Plymouth, if a surgeon was wanted, away they (the employers) sent to London, aod down came a man who oould not speak a word of t-io Welsh language. The speaker was here interrupted by Mr R. Ii. Uhys, who suddenly jumped up from his chair, and warmly called Mr Janes to order Some fencing followed between these gentlemen, Mr Rbys insisting that Mr James's observations had no reference to the motion, and Mr James con- tending to the contrary. The Chairman inter- posed, and thought Mr Rhys was premature in calling Mr Jaines to order. Aftt-r a sharp argu- ment between the Chairman and Air Ja.nos as to the true intent of the proposed memorial, the Clerk, who innocently intervened by venturing a definition on the words providing medical assist ancfe," became an object of attack from Mr Rhys, who, having appealed to the disputmts to let Mr J. W. James finish his oration, followed it by an expression intimating that the two Jameses thought aliki. To that the Clerk vigorously retorted, reminding the author of this insinuation that during his long connection with the board he had always given bis opinion unbiased, and inde- pendent of the Chairman, Mr Rhys, or anyone else. Mr J. W. James proceeded a third time on his course, and, after descanting upon the possibilities of the proposed legislative measure, he again at- tempted his illustration of the introductioll of a doctor for works in this district who could not speak th.. Welsh language, when Mr William Harris rose to order, renHrkillg that they would be there for a month at that rate whereupon Mr James expressed a desire to adjourn the debate for a week, asserting that there were many guardians besides himself who were taken by surprise upon this question and, therefore, as it was not a matter which should be passed over lightly, he would propose adjourning the debate if the wished. Mr Gould coincided, and seconded the adjourn- ment. Mr It. H. Rliyj assured the last named gentle- man that an adjournment meant shelving the question, for the Bill would be gone into in com- mittee on Tuesday next, and unless the petitiou nai sent by that time it would be of no avail. Mr James Lewis replied with much force to the course pursued by Mr James, pointiug out that it would render inoperative the men and masters making a beneficial arrangement, such as the Act in question would ensure. Mr James had, in the most offensive manner, alluded to the way in which these medical funds were managed. As one knowing something of the matter, he would challenge him to prove where the masters in this district had benefited by the medic tl fund. (Hear, h. ar ) lie should have rejoioed had it been prac- ticable that the question should be adjourned till next week, if only to afford him an opportunity of bringing proof to justify his statements. He was surprised to hear Mr James, an old inhabitant, come forward and make such statements, when he was at this moment receiving money from a col- liery in this valley belonging to the Aberdare Iron Company; and it was astonishing, after receiving such money, that he should have made the statements he had. Mr James: Oil, oh that's nothing to do with it. Mr Lewis: Indeed; I differ with you, and am surprised to hear you express yourself in that w (y. Some further discussion took place, after which the motion by Mr Rhys was submitted and car- ried, the question of adjournment having been previously disposed of. MISCELLANEOUS. The matter introduced to the board last week by Mr Henry Thomas, as to forcible vaccination at Cefn, was again adverted to. Mr Rees E. Davies, who had made inquiries into the matter, entirely dissipated the notion that there had been any improper procedure on the part of the medical gentleman, as alleged, in vaccinating children at school without the knowledge or consent of parents. It was agreed, upon the recommendation of a committee, that a portion of the bread for con- sumption in the house should be baked on the premises. According to a computation by Mr William Harris, should the whole of the bread be manufactured on the premises, the board would be gainers to the extent of £6',) per annum. this was all the business of public interest.

SOUTH WALES TEMPERANCE AND PRO- HIBITIVE ASSOCIATION. The business of the association was commenced on Wednesday morning, at half-past nine, by a prayer meeting, which was held in Adulam chapel, when the services were conducted by the Rev. Job Miles, of Merthyr. At eleven o'clock a conference was held at the Hope chapel, High- street, when the chair was taken by Mr Thomas Williams, of Goitre. Delegates werj in attend- ance from Aberdare, Anglesea, Brecon, Bryntir- ion, Brynmawr, Cwmafon, Carmarthen, Dinas, Dowlais, Maesteg, Penygraig, P.-nydarren, Peny- cae, Rhymney, Swansea, and Trecynon, who made their reports, and short addresses were given by several gentlemen, among whom were Messrs John Williams, David Jones, the Revs. M. Mor- gan, and W. James, Aberdare; MrS. O. Harpur, Merthyr; Mr John Williams, Llantwit; Air Lewis, Cwmaman Mr Evans, Maesteg the R.v. Mr Dinnock, of the Primitive Methodist chapel, Merthyr; Mr Thomas, Poutlottyn, and others but with the exception of a few remarks from Me 3srs Harpur and Dinnock, the proceed- ings were all carried on in the Welsh language. The speakers, hojvever seemed to look upon the progress of the cause in a hopeful spirit, and to be of opinion that considerable good was resulting al from the Good Templars Society. The annual report of the society was then read in the Welsh language, by Mr John Bowen, the secretary, but it contained nothing of special interest. On the motion of the Rev. Mr. Lawis, Carmarthen, se- conded by the Rev. D. Phillips, the report was adopted. The following resolution was moved by the Rev. Thomas Levi, Swansea 'rhat this Conference is of opinion that no licensing measure will be satisfactory unless it contains a clause to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors during the twenty-four hours on the Lord's day and this Conference urges the House of Commons to insert such necessary clauses in the coming measure." This was seconded by Mr John Wil- liams, Aberdare, and supported by several mem- bers present in short adresses, after which, on being :!ut to the meeting, it was carried. A com- mittee was then appointed to select officers for the ne xt year, and this concluded the business of the meeting. At two o'clock in the afternoon a se- cond conference was held in the same chapel, wiien the meeting was addressed by the Rev. D. Phillips, Swansea, who moved the following re- solution i-" That this Conference rejoices to see the increased convictions in favour of the Per- missive Bill, and intend to put forth all their in- fluence, by petitions, &c., in support of the divi- sion in the House of Commons on the second reading on the 21th July next." Mr David Jones, Aberdare, seconded the resolotion. The Financial Report was then read by the Chairman, and unanimously adopted. A vote of thanks to the retiring officers of the past year was then pro- posed by the Rev. Mr Levi, and unanimously carried. The officers for the ensuing year were then appointed, the Rev. Thomas Lewis, Car- marthen, being no ninited president in the place of Mr D. E. Williams, Hirwain Mr Thoo. Wil- liams, Goitre, treasurer; and Mr W. L. Daniel, Merthyr, hon, s c. A paper was then read by the Key. Thomas Lewis, of Carmarthen, subject, Can total abstainers consistently partake of intoxicating wines at the Communion table?" The paper was well received, and was followed by remarks from the Chairman, the Rev. Thos. Thomas, (Aberdare), the Rev. J. R. Hughes, (Anglesea), and oth rs, all the speakers being C, unanimous in the opinion that uufermented wine should be used at the Communion table in place of win s of an intjxic »ting nature. Daring the discussion J. H. it Iper, Eiq., of Mmchester, entered the chapet,and was very warmly received, lie addressed the assembly for a few minutes which concluded the conference. At the con- clusion of the conference a conversazione was held at the Temperance Hall, which was nicely decorated for the occasion with flowers, plant evergreens, banners, aud suitable mottoes. Tea and coffje, with a variety of eatables, were pro- vided, and for a couple of hours the ladies who presided at the traya found as much as they could do in supplying the wants of their patron- esses. The usual public meeting was held later ou at the Drill Hall to accommodate a larger gathering of the friends of the cause, and the speakers advertised included Sir Wilfred Lawson, iir Raper, and others.

TESTIMONIALS AND TESTIMONIALS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE" ABEIWARE TIMES." Sir,—True, as said by Gift Despiaer" in your last issue, that undue liberty is exercised in the speculative uomination of members of certain committees, that is, previous to obtaining their cousent, and I am sorry, as one interested, that the very irregularity occurred in the formation of our very worthy vicar's testimonial commit tee, though it was studiously intended to guard ag liust it. It is very strauge how matters will have to shape themselves sometimes, aud that in spite of most suasive and earnest resistance. It is often humiliating as well as oainful to witness how impulse will override reason. I will not attempt to encourage such liberties, though I ciuiuot see how mucti harm can ensulj from the speculative nomination of oommittees, provided due discretiou is observed in the selection; and in proof of the accuracy of judgment on the part of the nominators of our worthy vicar's commit- tee, it may be interesting for Gift Despiser" to know that the very gentleman named last on the list (vir D. Evans, agent, Blaengwawr) was the very first to signify his concurrence by a letter apologising for his aosence at the meeting, and expressing his desire to be entered as a sub- scriber towards our good vicar's testimonial fund, and to whom in return the warmest thanks of the meeting was tendered. This was indeed highly gratifying to me knowing that we had committed the grave (?) mishap of his nomination without his consent being first had and obtained. Having, however, acknowledged that irregular- ity, I deem any further apology unnecessary; and 1 verily believe that it gave no ofleoce save in one solitary instance (and that where it was intended as a compliment) but to a gentleman bearing v *ry strong affinities with our crusty and ill-natured little Gift Despiser"— Whose eyebrows shades an everlasting scow! Denotive of his choleric and intolerant soul' Seeing blessed men with vast successes crowned, They joys distract him, and their glories wound. Knowing this little Ishmael, we cannot be sur- prised That he despises all, and is by all despised. But freely admitting past errors and discrepan- cies, I am at a loss to conceive what has been done to arouse the ire of this petulant, saucy, and churlish little" Gift Despiser." Did we offend by not baiting Cerberus with an invita- tion to join issue can that be the reason why he turns round and betrays his gnarling and grin- ning propensities ? Or am I to regard his epistle as the offspring of mere sectarian jealousy, or shall I deem it as an exposition of the temper- amental peculiarities of this incorrigible and crotchety little" Despiser"? I verily believe that his remarks originate in a vicious motive- that they are intended to damage a cause that I deem worthy, and which, for that reason, I warmly espouse. But whatever his intentions are, or whoever he may be, he must be capable of the most preposterous arrogance to presume upon his right to dictate to the people of Aber- dare what they a-e to do or not to do within the limits of innocent pursuit. It is somewhat happy to think that there are so few that would find pleasure in discouraging this commendable movement besides your correspondent, who, no doubt, would heartily enjoy the idea of being able to impede the progress of certain events already indicated, but despairing of his own ability he implores year able aid to that effeot. How strangely illustrative of the man his chosea cognomen. But whit does it imply ? That be has been so pestered with gifts until be is actually disgusted, or is it that the grapes are placed at so inconvenient a distance as to become exceeds gl/ sour? Apologising for trespassing so much upon your valuable spacj, I remain, one of many, that wishes to HONOUR WHgUE HoNocm is DUB.

MAY 24TH, 1872. Meteorologists say that the temperature has been lower by four degrees this month than it has been in the month of May for fifty years. How dull and dark and drear this summer day I- No pleasant sunshine lightens up the earth We look around and ask, Can this be May— That joyous time, inspiting all with mirth 7" The woods and fields wait for their summer dress; We look in vain for groves of living green" The birds are mute-no sunshine comes to blesa Tis summer time-no summer yet is seen. Poets have sung the glories of sweet May," Inviting all to view the birds and flowers-; Vainly they strive to bid us all be gay, No fragrance now is shed from woodland bowers. Come forth, 0 Sun I and bid the world rojoioe, Wo loni; for thy bright smile with wistful heart Come forth, and bid each warbler find a voioe, And to the weary soul sweet joy impart. The trees will spring to meet thy glad embrace, The flowers shall clothe our path with beauty fair, A'.tain we'll hail thy bright unclouded face, While alL our sorrows melt like mist in air. Come in thy might, and cheer our wintry gloom, Bright token of the source of light and love; Without thy smile earth were a living tomb, With nought to link us to bright worlds above. Aberdare.
