THE WEATHER.—During the whole of Satur- day a strong wind prevailed, accompanied by heavy rain, and the storm was so great that but few people ventured into the streets. Slates were blown from the roof and signboards and show cases were dislodged from outside some of the shops. At the Temperance-hall, a part of the roof was torn away, and men were stationed there to warn foot passengers of the dauber. A chimney about 12 feet high at the Tan Yale Station was blown down, and crushed in the roof of a back kitchen in the house of llr"W. H. Timms, the company's well-known inspector. The latter had but a few minutes before left the room, and fortunately, we have not to chronicle any personal accident8. BOAPD or -The usual weekly meeting, on Saturday, was presided over by Mr R H. Jihys, the chairman.—The term of ofhco of .Mr James Lewis as one of the governors of the Gelligaer Endowed chool appointed by this board having expired, the Chairman moved that Mr Lewis be re-elected, and in so doing he remarked upon the faithful and impartial manner in which that gentleman had discharged his duties in connection with the institution.— Mr G. Martin seconded the motion, and it was carried unanimously.— VI r Lewis, in acknow- ledging the compliment- paid him, took occasion to express the belief—Mr Charles H. James, !Vr ?!"dvbemS°f the same opinion—that when the Welsh^ Intei mediate Education Bill was passed this scaool auiongst others, would be absorbed into larger and greater schemes—The out-relief granted duung iho past week was reported to have been as ibitows Aberdare, £59 103; Gelligaer, £ 19 12s 2d; Merthyr Upper, £ G1 83 9d M'3i-thj*r Lower, £ 51 10s Hid non-settied, il 4s tot.i, £10;; 5s Dd. There were in the Aberdare School at the end of last week 117 children (87 receiving industrial training) as ¡ against 133 in the corresponding week of last year, and there were at the same time in the workhouse 222 inmates being the identical number registered in the same week of 1883. ABERDARE SCHOOL BOARD.-At the bi- monthly meeting of this board on Friday, the 25th ult., there were present Messrs R. H. Rhys (chairman), D. P. Davies, W. Charles, D. Davies tCanton House), D. Morgan, R. Llewellyn, J. Williams, Revs. T. Jones, B. Evans, and W. James. Tho Education Depart- ment forwarded for the information of the Board the report of H.M. Inspector of his recent examination of the Cwmpennar Infant school, from which it appeared that the average attendance numbered 29-5, the grant being payable on 29. This, at 16s 6d per head, amounted to £ 23 18s bd. The report added that on the whole this little school deserved to be called" excellent.Miss Mary Ann Jones, assistant mistress of the Abernant Infants' school, sent in her resignation, which was accepted. The Chairman stated that Mr Morris (superintendent of schools under the Board) came to him after the examination at Cwmdare School and informed him that Mr D. I. Davies, the deputy Government Inspector, pointed out an entry in the log book in August last calling upon the Board to provide an ad- ditional class-room, which unless done in six months from date they would run the risk of forfeiting the grant for that school. He (the chairman) thought there was not time to be lost, and upon his own responsibility gave instructions to Mr John Morgan, builder, to board off a portion of the schoolroom so as to make a classroom. He, therefore, trusted the Board would approve of what he had done in the matter. On the motion of Mr David Mor- gan, the Board approved of the action taken by the chairman.—Tho chairman stated that he had received an anonymus letter, complaining that one of the attendance officers spent most of his time in idleness and exhibited partiality in his reports to the Board. Mr Morgan said I tho Board should no take notice of anonymous letters, an opinion which the Board endorsed. —Mr Morgans alluded to the failures in standard V at tho last examination of Duffryn schools and suggested that steps be taken by the committee to have the 25 boys who failed re-oxamined. The Chairman said he quite concurred, and promised to bear the matter in mind.- Mr Morgans gave the result of the ex- aminations at certain schools, amongst others Blaengwawr, the results being highly satis- factory. The Chairman remarked that the Board might congratulato themselves upon the reports so far. They far exceeded his most sanguine expectations, and showed that the law was well administered, and that the Board had a very good staff of teachers. PARLIAMENTARY DEBATING SOCIETY.—The local House of Commons will meet at the Club and Institute on Tuesday evening next, when the adjourned debate 011 the Queen's speech will be resumed, and, it is expected, brought to a close after which the new Ministry will intro- duco several measures which will no doubt lead to much profitable discussion. ABEUDAUE TRAINING SCHOOL—The officials of the above institution have just issued their programme of the annual entertainment, which is announced to take place at the school on the evenings of Thursday and Friday, February 7th and 8th. As our readers are aware, these entertainments are entirely got up by the officials, assisted by the children of the schools, o I and appear to be growing in popularity year by year and, judging from the programme before us, this year's entertainment bids fair to surpass all previous efforts. 'I he first part will consist of a pastoral play for children, by J. Keith Angus, Esq., entitled "Little Red Riding Hood," the scenery being entirely new and painted for the occasion by Mr. J. C Fair- bairn, Canon-street, after which several songs, r &c., will be given, and during the interval Mr Perkins will play a pianoforte solo. The second part will consist of a farce entitled Gregory's Blunders." We hear that it is intended to establish a brass band at the schools, and that the proceeds will be devoted towaeds pur- chasing suitable instruments, therefore it is to be hoped the public will render every assistance to enable the officials to carry out so laudable an intention. LE FOLLET.The February number of this excellent journal offashion has just reached us. It contains four beautifully got up plates, exhibiting the latest novelties in ladies attire, with full particulars as to material used, &c., also a largo amount of interesting readable matter,

OBSTRUCTING THE HIGIIWA Y.-David Barn- ford and Patrick Lambert were summoned for causing an obstruction to the highway at Cardiff-road, Mountain Ash. on the 19th ult. P.C. T. Williams said he found defendants fight- ing in the above street. Lambert, it appeared, merely endeavoured to bring the fight, in which Bamford was engaged, to a termination. He was discharged, while Bamford was fined 5s and costs —Thomas Hancock and Thomas Bamford were summoned for obstructing Jeffry- street, Mountain Ash, on the 10th ult. P.C.

Heed said that about 9.30, on the morning in question, he saw the defendants stealing coal from the incline at the top of the Duffryn Colliery. They placed the coal in bags and proceeded to carry it away, when he stopped them and took the coal from them. He found it weighed 100 lbs. Defendants were fined 7s 6d each, or five days' imprisonment. EXCISE PROSECUTION.—Thomas Morgan was summoned for selling medicim subject to the stamp duty without having obtained a license to do so. Mr Hunter, supervisor, appeared to prosecute. James Finucane, Inland Revenue officer, said he visited defendant's premises on December 1st and bought a bottle of patent medicine for 2s, which was served him by a relative of the defendant. Defendant said he was not aware it was necessary to have a license, but he had since caken one out. In answer to the bench, defendant said he had disposed of about twelve bottles altogether. The Bench pointed out that when persons embarked in any business they ought to know the whole of the liabilities connected therewith, and the law assumed that they did. Defendant, however, pleaded ignorance. The penalty Jordan offence of this kind was a very heavy one— £ 20 but the Bench would not inflict the full penalty. As a warning to defendant and others, the fine m this instauce would be 10s and coats. A CAUTION TO WoRKM!;y.-William Notley, a respectable working man in the employ of Messrs iNixon and Co., Navigation Colliery, Mountain Asti, was charged with stealing three small planks and four iron staples, the property of his employers. P.C. Reed said that about 5.30 p.m., on the 24th Jan., he saw defendant coming out of the Navigation Colliery yard, with three slabs on his back and four iron staples, altogether of the value of 3s 6d. He stopped him and askocl him what he was going to do with them. Defendant replied that he was going to build a pig's cot. He was very sorry, and hoped he would say no more about it. Defendant in answer to the charge said he bad worked for the company for fourteen years, and as he was going to build the cot on the company's property, he did not considor ho was doing harm. He pleaded guilty. Witness said defendant bore a good character up till then. The Bench imposed a fine of 20s, or fourteen days in default. SELLING BEER ON SUNDAY.—William Theophilus, landlord of the Scale's Arms, Cwm- bach, was summoned for keeping his house open for the sale of beer on Sunday, the 20th January. Mr W. D. Williams appeared for defendant. P.C. T. Evans said that about a quarter past 3 p.m., on the 20th Jan., ho was standing near the Scale's Arms public-house, when he saw a woman named Hannah Cornelius come out of the Scale's Arms on to the canal bank with something concealed under her shawl' When she saw him she ran back into the house. He ran after her and caught her in the back taproom. He found under her shawl a jack containing about half a gallon of beer covered over with a bag. The landlord was present and he asked him why he had kept his house open for the sale of beer on Sunday. He replied, "Indeed, I know nothing about it. It must have been the servant girl that drew it." He asked to see the servant girl. and defendant said, We can't find her, she must have ran out." He told defendant that he should report him, and he replied that he hoped not. Wit- ness afterwards went to Cornelius's house close to the Scale's Arms, and found the table swimming with beer, and a man sitting down there. Drinking was going on at this house every Sunday. Cross-examined Cornelius said it was only 9d worth of beer she had. She made no statement about having been cleaning in the public-house that morning. Hannah Cornelius was then called in defence, and stated that she resided near the Scale's Arms. She had been in the habit of going there regularly cleaning on Saturday nights and Sunday mornings. On the morning of the 20th, she went there at 10 o'clock and remained till between 2 and 3 in the afternoon. She was paid for doing this and in addition had a little beer given her. On this occasion she asked the servant for a drop of beer to carry to her sister, who was unwell. Ann Davies, servant at the Scale's Arms, said last witness was at the house from 10 till 3 o'clock washing the floors and cleaning the house. She was in the habit of receiving beer, but never paid for it. Mr Rhys: Payment for services rendered. Mr Williams referred to tho peculiar circumstances of the case. The woman Cornelius was in the habit of going to the house regularly for the purpose of cleaning upon Saturday nights and Sunday mornings, and no doubt did get some beer given her; bat this, he contended, could not be constructed into a sale of beer. His Worship said it was a clear case. This woman did a certain amount of work for which she was paid in beer that was a sale to all intents and purposes, otherwise the law might easily be evaded by persons going to a public-house and saying, 1 have done certain work and want six pints of beer for it," and that was a sale. Defendant was fined 40s and costs, and the license was endorsed. FOUND ON LICENSED PREMISES.—Hannah Cornelius, the witness in the last case, was summoned for being found at the Scale's Arms public-house, on Sunday, the 20th ult. P C. Evans stated that at a quarter past 3, on the afternoon in question, he saw defendant come out of the Scale's Arms. When she saw him she ran back. He followed her and found upon her a jack containing about half a gallon of beer. She said "It is only 9d worth. The servant girl drew it for me." He went down to her Z) house and, when near the door, heard her say to a man inside, The bobby caught me." He went in and saw a pint cup on the table, which was wet with beer. Defendant was SnedL ')- and costs. DAMAGING A HAYRICK.—George and Samuel Alderman, lads, were charged with damaging a hayrick to the amount of £ I, the property of Mr David Davies. Jane Davies said she saw the two boys breaking the rick of hay. Saw them on top and they threw off the roof. Could not say how they got there. They threw the hay about. James Davies, for the defence, said that on the afternoon of the 18th December, Mrs Davies asked him to see the damage. He went and saw the hay thrown about. He saw two boys running up the road, but he was sure they were not the defendants. The case was dismissed,
REJOICINGS AT FERNDALE.
REJOICINGS AT FERNDALE. THE MAJORITY OF MR. FRED. DAVIS. Wednesday, January 30th, was a red-letter day in the history of Ferndale, for on that day came of age the only son of one of the two gentlemen to whom the conversion of the site on which the town stands from a barren, though picturesque, waste into a busy centre is due and on that occasion, too, were celebrated such festivities and were gathered such crowds of happy workmen as have never been seen in the Rhondda Valley before. Naturally the majority of the heir of one of the two members of a firm which has done so much for labour in what was hitherto an unproductive waste would amongst any section of workpeople be the occasion of rejoicing, but when masters are so loved as the Messrs. Davis (and the son, too, stands high in the reputation of the men,) it is not surprising that his coming of age should be the occasion of heartfelt congratulation. Such undoubtedly was the case on Wednesday. For a consider- able time previously the employees had been working hard to make the demonstrations as successful as possible, and the result of their subscriptions was the placing of X310 in the hands of the committee. Most of this was de- voted to the purchase of a magnificent silver epergne and two accompanying pieces which, with a beautifully illuminated album, were for presentation to Mr Fred Davis, as momentos of the occasion but that there should be no lack of enjoyment for the thousands of workpeople and their families, the Messrs. Davis placed ;E250 in the hands of the committee. The day was heralded with the booming of cannon and the playing of bands. There was an entire cessation from labour in the district, and a plentiful supply of bunting and numerous decorations gave the town a perfect holiday appearance. The demonstrations commenced with a pro- cession of the colliers in the employ of the firm, and a vast number of Sunday-school children brought up the rear. Those of the colliers who were el members of the Order of Foresters, the Ancient Britons and other friendly societies, appeared in full regalia, and thus greatly en- hanced the picturesqueness of the scene, while brass bands from Aberdare, Bodringallt, Cwm- amau, and Ferndale, played stirring strains along the route. Such a procession has never before been witnessed in the valley, the length being estimated at about three miles. All along the route were dense crowds, and when the Llyn-y-Forum was reached it is computed by persons whose opinion is certainly worthy of credence that from fourteen to fifteen thousand persons were present. The ceremony of elect- ing a chairman was here formally gone through and Mr D. Evans (Bodringallt House) waa chosen to fill the office. In the course of a few well chosen remarks, the Chairman observed that owing to the soddened nature of the land, the proceedings must necessarily be brief, so he would, without loss of time, call on Messrs. J. Powell, J. Rees, and D. Richards to present the epergne and silver pieces to Mr F. Davis. This having been done, Mr R. Thompson, of the board schools, read the following address :— To Frederick Lewis Davis, Esq. Dear and respected Sir,-We, the inhabitants of Ferndale, and the employees of Messrs D. Davis and Sons, at Ferndale, Blaengwawr, and Bodring- allt Collieries, and their Cardiff offices, desire to offer you our warm and united expression of grati- fication on the attainment of your majority, to which auspicious event we have looked forward with much pleasure. We have watched with great interest your school and university career, and have been much gratified to observe your success as a student, as well as your prowess in field sports, a training which, we doubt not, must ever prove a source of benefit and gratification to your esteemed parents, who have bestowed so much care and solicitude upon you. We trust that as you have grown up where your father and his esteemed family have brought to bear so much skill and enterprise in the develop- ment of the resources of the district, you will emulate their example, and that the social and commercial interests of this lising locality, with which you are so closely connected, will at all times find in you a liberal and warm supporter. We beg your acceptance of an epergne and two compotiers with this album, as a slight token or our esteem for yourself and your respected and worthy parents. We further beg to express a fervent hope that you may long live in the enjoyment of health and happiness, and that you may become a blight ornament to the profession which you are about to embrace. On behalf of the subscribers, we beg to remain, yours taithfully, T. W. PARRY, M.D., Chairman. W. DAVIS, Treasurer. R, THOMPSON, Secretary. Great cheering followed, and when it had subsided Mr F. L. Davis rose to reply. He heartily thanked his friends for the handsome present, and humorously remarked that he found it impossible to find words in English with which to express his feelings, and he lamented that he was not sufficiently conversant with Welsh that he might make them all under- stand what he wished to express. He heartily reciprocated the good wishes and kind things that had been said of him, and trusted all present would thoroughly enjoy themselves during the remainder of the day. (Applause.) Mr Lewis Davis returned thanks to those present for the honour that had been done to his son, after which an ode by Eos Dar and God save the Queen were sung, and the crowd dispersed for refreshments, which were served in all the schools and chapels in the town. In order to meet the demands of the vast number that had assembled, no less than 3,300 lbs, of cake, besides beef, bread aud butter and tea, were provided. Cannon thundered with scarcely any inter- mission throughout the day, 600 lbs. of gun- power being supplied tor the purpose, and as night approached the place of the guns was taken by beautiful illuminations and a grand display of fireworks. There were similar festivi- tives at Bodringallt and Blaengwawr. Thus closed in a most orderly manner a day of unalloyed pleasure, in which every able-bodied person in the vicinity took part. For the perfect success that attended the day's arrange- ments, the highest praise is due to the large committee and their able and engetic secretary (Mr It- Thompson), the following members of the executive rendering especial service on Wednesday :—Dr. Parry, the Revs. W. Rees, and Messrs. J. W. Lewis, D. Davies, (manager,] Howell Williams (foreman), Thos. Powell, J. Richards (inspector Taff Vale Railway,) J. Phillips (signalman), and Gwynne Thomas (collier.)
. ABERDARE LOCAL BOARD OF…
ABERDARE LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH. The bi-monthly meeting of the above board was held on Friday, the 25th ult., when there were present Messrs R. H. Rhys (chairman), D. P. Davies, D. Davies (Canon-street), W. Little, n Davies (Canton House), T. Hees, D. Davis (Maesyffynon), E. Morgan, and J.. Williams. The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. INSPECTOR'S REPORT. The Inspector of Nuisances reported 11 fresh cases of scarlet fever, being an increase of 5 as compared with the previous fortnight, but no death also 2 fresh cases of measles, being the same number as the previous fortnight; also 5 fresh cases of typhoid fever and one death, a woman aged 49, at the hospital. SURVEYOR'S REPORT. The following was read Gentlemen.—Outfall Sewer.— I beg to report having on the 10th inst. received a letter from Mr H. O. Fisher enclosing an amended plan of the iron over bridge at Carn ^.Park, proposed to be erected by the Taff Vale Railway Co. In carrying out this, the third plan submitted by the company, it is intended that the Board's outfall sewer shall be left practically as it is at present and buried in earth as in the existing stone bridge. The company undertake to main- tain the sewer in its present position during the erection of a new bridge, but do not propose to maintain it for a period of time after the com- pletion of the bridge, neither do they refer to the future maintenance of the iron work form- ing the portion of the bridge which supports this sewer. These are points to which I would draw the attention of the Board, as it appears but reasonable that the company should under- take before demolishing the existing bridge to leave th3 Board in no worse position than they are in at present as regards the future support of this portion of their outfall sewer. The fol- lowing ordnance si reets, 25 inch scale, are re- quired for the purpose of marking thereon the line of the outfall sewer from Mountain Ash to the tanks at Parknewydd, namely, streets xix. 1, xi. 5, xix. 6. xix. 10, xix. 14. Petroleum.-The license of Chas. Thomas Fisher, No. 1, Chapel-court, Green-street, to keep petroleum in a shed at the rear of No. 5, Green street, having been forfeited by reason of a breach of the condition of the said license on the part of Fish jr in taking a naked light to the shed on the 21st December last, thereby causing the petroleum to ignite, a fresh license has been applied for by Fisher to keep not more than 6 casks or 240 gallons of petroleum in the said shed, under the same condition as hereto- fore. I have again inspected the shed and beg to recommend that a license be granted to Fisher to keep not more than 4 casks or 160 gallons of petroleum in the said shed instead of 6 casks as applied for. Rainfall. In accordance with instructions I beg to submit the following particulars as to the rainfall at Nanthir reservoir from the first observation on Nov. 18th, 1877, to the 31st of Dec. last:— Total depth Greatest fall in 21 hours No.of davs Year. on which Inches Depth Date rain fell Nov. & Dec. 1S77 18 00 3-30 11 48 1878 62 36 2-46 Nov. 9 225 1879 55-83 2-74 Aug. 27 224 1880 58-01 1-68 Mar. 2 212 1881 61-64 2-23 Nov. 26 218 1882 79-95 1-96 Jan. 8 260 188 3 66-13 2-46 Oct. 1# 233 Tramway Road, Hirwain,—I beg to report that on Wednesday afternoon last a portion of the stone culvert which passed under the canal company's tramway at Hirwain, about 150 yards to the east of the lime kiln fell in. causing a chasm to be formed on the line of the tram- way 36 feet long, 28 feet wide, and 18 feet deep, the margin of which extends some 8 feet into the Board's tramway road. To prevent acci- dents the chasm was barricaded round with as little delay as possible. A watchman with a light has also been kept on the spot at night time, and will have to be kept until the com- pletion of the necessary repairs. As far as can be seen at present the breach in the culvert seems to be under the tramway, but as a breach at this point involves the withdrawal of the necessary support of a portion of the roadway it will not be possible for any steps to be taken towards restoring the roadway until the bridge is made good. I should mention that through n, the promptitude of P.C. Emanuel telegraphing to apprise me of the mishap I was enabled to have the chasm securely fenced before the night. Building Plans.-I have received the follow- ing building plans, which I beg to recommend should be approved, viz an addition in rear of the Talbot Inn, Pembroke-street, for Jas. Hek, junr- Private Drainage.-I have received plans of private drains for the following houses and beg to recommend that the same be approved, 21, Commercial-place; 44, 45, and 46, John- street, Cap Coch; 1, 2, 3, and 4, Pleasant Grove 1, 2, 3, and 4, Pit-place; and 1, 2, 3. and 4, Blaennantygroes-i"oa(i. Number of houses approved as above, 16; number previously approved, 3,927. Total number ap- proved, 3,943. m T T. LL. EDWARDS. BRIDGE AT CARN PARK. After a short discussion as to the fear of injury to the Board's outfall sewer through the erection of the above bridge, it was ordered that the plan be passed subject to the railway com- pany undertaking to make good any defect at any time caused by making the new bridge. The rest of the Surveyor's recommendations contained in his report were adopted. THE POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS OF THE DISTRICT. The Clerk read the following letter which he had received from Mr C. H. James, M.P., ac- knowledging his obligation to the Board for the thanks they had aocorded to him for the support he had recently given to the movement for preventing a restriction in the hours for posting evening letters in the district Brynteg, Merthyr Tydfil, 21st Januury, 1884. Dear Sir,—I have yours on this day's date. Your Board may rely on any assistance I can give it in the matter of the postal arrangements for South Wales. I have always thought th at we are very badly served. I post a letter at Merthyr at 6.15, it gets to Cardiff at 8.2. There it rests till 9.15. Then it starts and gets to Gloucester at 12.20. It arrives at Swindon at 1.40' There, as I understand the trains, it is overtaken by a train'which reaches London at 3.55, but the South Wales letter is forwarded by a slower train getting in at 4.35. There may be difficulties that we outsiders do not understand, but I cannot belieye but that our letters are nearly 3 hours longer on the road than they ought to be. I can get into the train here at 4.30 and be in London at 11.25, i.e. under 7 hours. Our letters take 10 hours and 20 minutes to reach town. There is something wrong somewhere.—Yours truly, CHAS. H. JAMES. Mr R. O. Gery. A letter was also read by the Clerk, which had been forwarded by him to the postal authorities on the same subject. The Chairman remarked that it was a very good letter, and should be issued and signed by all the inhabitants of the district. 0 Mr Davis (Maesyffynor.) considered this dis- trict badly served at present. The Chairman thought we should be placed upon the same footing as other districts. At Bridgend, for instance, they were much better off than we were. DILAPIDATED BUILDINGS. Mr Edward Williams, Cap Coch, Mrs John, and Mr D. W. David, w" "od upon the Board with reference to certain buildings in the neigh- bourhood of Green Fach, &c., of which they were the owners, and which the Surveyor and Medical Officer had recently condemned as being unfit for habitation. After some discussion, in which the Alms houses in High-street were also alluded to, Vlr Davis (Maesyffynon) proposed that the Chair- man, Messrs D. P. Davies, D. Davies (Canon- street), J. Williams, and D. Davies (Canton House), be a committee to go into the whole question and report to the Board. This was seconded by Mr Little and agreed to. The Board then separated.
ALLEGED WILFUL MURDER AT RHYMNEY.
ALLEGED WILFUL MURDER AT RHYMNEY. On Sunday afternoon a man named William Jones, a tailor, living in the upper part of Rhymney, was found in a ditch, near Penael Chapel. When found by a man named Davies and Police-constable Dorwood, he presented a very pitiful appearance, having been under rough treatment, his face and head being frightfully cut. It was apparent that murder had been perpetrated, and suspicion was cast upon an Irishman named Patrick Callaghan, who was apprehended during the evening, and several articles belonging to the deceased were found in his possession. Ho was taken into custody, and on Monday conveyed to Tredegar. The affair has caused great excite- ment at Rhymney, the deceased being well known in the neighbourhood.

MOUNTAIN ASH LOCAL BOARD. I he ordinary fortnightly meeting of this board took place on Monday, when there were present —Messrs W. Little (in the chair,) H. W. Martin, C. J. N. Gray, W. Pritchard, T. Edwards, J. Griffiths, W. Lloyd Herbert, Davy Jones, and M. Morgan. The minutes of the last meeting were read and ccnfirmed. ST. WINIFRED'S CHURCH, PENRHIWCEIBR. The Rev. J. H Protheroe, vicar of Mountain Ash, forwarded plan of the above church and apologised for the delay which had occurred through an omission on the part of the architect.

Five tenders had been received for carrying out private improvements in Fountain street. Mr Miles Edmunds' tonder being the lowest was accepted. THE NEW ASH DEPOT. It was agreed on the proposition of the chair- man that the surveyor be requested to prepare plans and estimate for the making of a road and fence to the now ash depot lately taken of Lord Aberdare. MEDICAL OFFICER'S QUARTERLY REPORT. The medical officer's quarterly report was read from which it appeared that the births in the Aberdare portion of the district were nineteen (twelve males and seven females), being an In- crease of eight on the previous quarter. The number of deaths during the same period was 7 being the same number as during the last quarter. The vaccinations for the quarter were sixteen, fifteen under one year of age, and one over. The births in the Llanwonno portion were 111 (53 males and 58 females) being 21 more than in the previous quarter. The vaccinations in the quarter were 73-70 under one year and 3 over. The deaths in the Llanwonno portion were 53, being ten in excess of the previous quarter. The total number of deaths in the entire district was 59. This would give a death rate of 22-8 per 1,000 per anuum, which was higher than the previous quarter, when the death-rate was 18-8 per 1,000 per annum. The total number of births in the whole district tor the quarter was 130—65 males and 65 females. This would give a birth rate of 50-4 per 1,000 per anuum. The report proceeded to state that the death rate for the last three months had not been so satisfactory as the previous one. The chief causes of death for the quarter were affections of the chest and respiratory organs, no less than thirteen having died from bronchitis and seven from inflammation of the lungs. The slaughter-houses and lodging-houses had been visited, and were found clean and free fro mjo vercrowdin g. SURVEYOR S REPORT. The following was read:— Gentlemen,-In accordance with orders made at your last meeting, I have examined that part of High-street, situated in the parish of Aber- dare, and find the road and the footpath on the west side of the said street in a very bad condi- tion. The read requires to be re-formed and metalled, and the footpath re-payed, kerbed, and chanelled. As such street is not a high- way repairable at the public expense, the cost of carrying out the necessary work should be defrayed by the several owners of property abutting upon the said street in accordance with the 150th section of the Public Health Act of 1875. In compliance with your orders, I have ex- amined the nuisance reported by your inspector at the last meeting of your Beard—namely, the discharge of house drainage on the west side of the road in Woodland-street. I would recom- mend for the purpose of preventing this nuisance that the 9 inch pipe sewer ill Woodland-street be extended for a distance of 75 lineal yards at a cost of about £ 18, and that the owners causing such nuisance be requested to drain their pro- perty and connect the same with the said sewer. I beg to submit for your approval specifica- tion and form of tender for improvement works in Fountain-street. I beg to report that since your last meeting the scavenging of the district has been satisfac- torily performed. I beg to report that four additional lamps, pillars, and brackets have been fixed-namely, in Woodland-stieet, High-street, Old Llan- wonno-road, and Penrhiwceibr-road, and that I have ordered the necessary services and fittings to be fixed for lighting the same with Sas- I beg also to report tnat tne sewers have been constructed at Mount Pleasant-terrace and Old Llanwonno-road as ordered at a previous meeting in December last I beg to report that it will be necessary to obtain a further supply of limestones for metal- ling the roads in Mountain Ash. I beg to report that I have received from Mr Thomas Davies, builder, the plan of a ware- house to be built near Mr Morris's, grocer, Rehola-street, Penrhiwceibr, to which I see no objection. I have also received from Mr Bell for Messrs. Nixon's Navigation Company (Limited) plans and sections of the proposed erection of 100 houses at Glyngwyn, Miskin. Such plans being in conformity with your bye- laws, I would recommend you sanction the same subject to the footpath in the said street being constructed five feet in width instead of four feet as shown upon the plans.-I am, &c., S. O. HARPUR. The report was adopted and the recommenda- tions contained therein ordered to bo acted upon. The scavenger's cheque which was withheld at a previous meeting was ordered to be handed over to him in view of the improvement in the scavenging of the district during the past fortnight reported by the surveyor. FINANCE. The finance committee reported as follows :— General account overdrawn, X693 10s 9d; sewerage account in credit. JE319 Os 7d; general bills were ordered to be paid. This concluded the business.
UNVEILING A BUST OF MR. R.…
UNVEILING A BUST OF MR. R. H. RHYS, J.P. In order to mark in some enduring form their high sense of the valuable services rendered by Mr R. H. Rhys, chairman of the Merthyr Board of Guardians, the gentlemen who have been associated with him in the work of poor-law administration have set up in the board-room at the union workhouse a marble bust of this most useful public servant, and at a meeting of the subscribers held on Saturday the bust was formally unveiled. It has been executed by Mr Thomas Brock, A.R.A., one of the most rising sculptors of the day, and it possesses un- doubted artistic merit; indeed, it is a. work so faithful to the life that it does infinite credit to the high reputation which, by his great skill, Mr Brock has acquired. It is mounted on a pedestal, which stands on a ledge at the eastern window of the board-room—a magnificent apartment for the erection and possession of which the guardians are indebted to Mr G. T. Clark, of Dowlais, a former chairman and it adds considerably to the ornate appearance of the building, which had already been graced by an excellently truthful bust of Mr Clark and another of Sir John Guest. In opening the proceedings, Mr Clark said that on no occasion did he ever remember to have felt more pleasure-a pleasure which he was sure was felt by all present-than in thus being able to publicly acknowledge the long- continued public services of his friend Mt Rhys. No man agreed with his neighbour upon all points,:and taking a broad and liberal viewof what Mr Rhys had done, he thought he might look upon that respectable assembly as a proof that they were ready to put their stamp of approval upon his principles-principles which had been well tried, and which, on the whole, had had a brilliant success. (Applause.) It was said that a prophet was not regarded with honour in his own country, but he thought the manner in which they, his friends and neighbours, had recognised the services of Mr Rhys during his long public career, showed that this was one of the exceptions to the rule. This acknowledg- ment was not confined to his own district, or his own part of the country only, where he was best known, for he (Mr Clark) was able to say of his own knowledge, from sitting with him at other places, that there was no man in the com. mission of the peace within Glamorganshire who was more looked up to upon points con- nected with the Government of the county (save and except their excellent chairman of quarter-sessions) than Mr Rhys was, and he did not think that there was anyone, except the chairman, who had done so much to keep the finances of the connty in good order. (Applause ) There was no man more able to expose any tendency to jobbery, and no man more ready to join in making a liberal grant of money, if he thought the purpose for which it was wanted was really a good one and advantageous one. Mr Rhys had done much to -.alleviate the financial pressure upon the county. (Applause.) He hoped that the bust might long continue to adorn the room, and he trusted that;future guardians would look at it and remember that this was a man who presided over the board, and tempered in no ordinary degree justice with mercy. The bust was then unveiled, and Mr Clark, upon viewing it, several times exclaimed Admirable," other gentlemon being equally demonstrative in the expression of their opinion upon its remarkable likeness to the living original. Mr Rhys, in reply, said he could hardly find words in which to express the feelings he labeured under at that moment. He felt very grateful to Mr Clark for the too flattering-Cno, no)—terms in which he had spoken of his services to the public. He had always tried to do his duty in every position in which he had been placed, and he regarded their assembling there that day to pay him this compliment as a proof that they, at all events, had appreciated those seivices. (Hear, hear.) He trusted that during the short time he might remain at the board he should continue to discharge these duties on the same principles, and in the same manner as he had always tried to do heretofore. His object in life, ever since he lost his sight, at all events, had been to strive to reduce pauperism to a minimum without being unjust to mankind. Mr James Lewis rose to express regret that Lord Aberdare had not been able to be present. His lordship had taken a very great interest in the work. He moved:— That a vote of thanks be tendered to Lord Aberdare for the kind assistance he has afforded to the subscribers, also that a letter be sent to Mr Brock, conveying our satisfaction and appreciation of the very skilful way in which the bust has been executed." (Hear, hear.) Mr T. Williams, J.P., seconded the motion, and it was carried with acclamation. Mr Clark said ho was sure nothing but the dreadful weather they were having would have prevented Lord Abdrdare from coming over. It was not through any want of feeling, for they all knew that he was always very happy to come when he could be of use. (Applause.) Mr Jenkin Matthews proposed, and Mr D. P. Davies, J.P., seconded, a hearty vote of thanks to Mr Clark for his presence, the pro- position being carried amid cheers. Mr Clark, in replying, referred to his many pleasant associations with the board.
MOUNTAIN ASH.
MOUNTAIN ASH. DUFFRYN SCHOOLS JOINT MANAGMENT OOM- MITTEE.—A meeting of the above committee was held on Tuesday. There were present Lord Aberdare (in the chair), Messrs Rhys Hopkin Rhys, J. W. Jones, T. Edwards, W. Little, the Revs. B. Evans and W. James. The investiga- tion of the cause of failures in the fifth standard had been entrusted to the schools managing committee, who, after consulting Mr Dowling, the head master, reported on the matter, and attributed the failures to both the novelty of the subjects, especially composition and mathe- matics, and slackness in attendance.—Mr Rhys said that the explanations given were hardly satisfactory, and observed that children were examined in similar subjects elsewhere.-His Lordship agreed with Mr Dowling's view of the matter, and made special reference to slack at- tendance. It transpired that on an average there were weekly ten absent from this standard. —Mr Rhys pointed out that the failures, with few exceptions, were those of children belong- ing to the Llanwonno district. He was afraid that the compulsory power granted was not there enforced, for it was only flaw parents from Llanwonno portion of the place that were prosecuted at Aberdare for the non-attendance of their children. Mr Edwards stated that the per centage of the attendance at the Mountain Ash portion of Llanwonno was better than that of other parts of Llanwonno.—Mr Rhys said that it might be so, but contended that the per contago was nevertheless low.—His Lordship suggested that the Llanwonno members should take the matter up and get it remedied. There were only two applications from teachers for four vacancies in the school which had been ad- vertised. Lord Aberdare concurred with Mr Rhys in saying that there was a dearth of toachers just now, and observed that such was the case in prosperous times. The average at- tendance for the month ending January 26th was 945, and that of the corresponding month last year was 937.—Mr J. W. Jones drew at- tention to the inconvenience to which parents aro subjected to by being obliged to apply to the clerk of the Aberdaro School Board for their children's certificates. It was eventually agreed that on receipt of particulars with a stamped envelope from Mr Dowling the certificates should be henceforth sent by post.

Ilolloway's Ointment und Pilts.-Rheumatism and Neuralgia.—Though tho former disease remorselessly attacks persons of all ages, and the latter ruthlessly selects its victims from the weak and delicate, the persevering use of these remedies will infallibly cure both complaints. After the affected parts have been diligently fomented with hot brine, and the skin thoroughly dried, Holloway's Ointment must be rubbed in firmly and evenly for a few minutes twice a day and his Pills taken according to the printed directions wrapped round each box of his medicine. Both OintmeDt and Pills are accom- panied by instructions designed for the public at large, and no invalid, who attentively reads them, can now be at any loss how to doctor himself successfully. IT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE that a remedy made of such common, simple planus as Hops, Buchu, Mandrake, Dandelion, /&c., should make so many and such groat cjires as Hop Bitters do, but when old and young, rich and poor, pastor and doctor, lawyer and editor, all testifying to having been cured by them, you must believe and try them yourself, and doubt no longer.

PAWNING A PAIR OF TROUSERS…
PAWNING A PAIR OF TROUSERS FOR MEDICINE. JAMKS FRAWCIS THOMAS lives in Poutnewvnvdd near Pontypool, Monmouthshire. He IS now twenty-three years of age, living with his mother, a widow. Some eleven years ago, then a mere boy, he went to work in the coal-pit as a miner' in order to assist his mother in rearing her family of little children Soon, however, the little fellow broke down in health; but the necessities of the family seemed to require it, and h continued to toil in the mines, suffering all the time from the effects of indigestion, an agonising symptom being asthma, in such a troublesome form that the boy was unable to lie in bed Working through the day, and resting as best he could in an arm chair during the night naturally under- mined his constitution. Year by year his health grew worse and wor.e, until at last rheumatism came with all its dreadful pgony. One joint after another became swollen and inflamed so that he was obliged to stop work. In this sad plight the now young man was confined to the house for two Ions years suffering all that mortal could endure. One Physician after another was called upon to trejrt his complaint, but with no benefit, for the poor fellow .Continued to grow worse and worse. Hoping to find some means of relief, a consultation of doctors was held, when it waa decided that an organic dispa"e of the heart existed in an incurable form and that ? s r,fe- *sa„k»T';d ■»» £ £ £ & remedy that had cured so many cases—even when as hopeless as this one seemed to be—and the mother's love went out for her dear boy. But how to get the medicine was the question. Their money was entirely gone. The boy had a new pair of trousers that he had been too ill to wear, and the mother reasoned within herself" If the boy is to die he will not need them, so I may as well pledge them for medicine with an effort to save his life. Strange as it may appear, the bottles of medicine procured at the chemist's shop in Pontypool with the money obtained from the pawnbroker affected a cure in this hopeless case, which had been pronounced as incurable. But it is only just to say that if the chemist bad known of the wants of tlie family the medicine could have been ob- tained without a visit to the pawnbroker. It is now nearly two years since this took place, and young James Francis Thomas has been working in the coal-pit underground eve. since, earns extra pay for overwork, which he is able toperfonr Of course he never had organic disease of the heart as w. supposed. The palpitation, rheumatism, and asthma wer mere symptoms of the real disease which was dyspepsia indigestion, for which the remedy was especially adapted, ) hose who wish to communicate with this young man cau wrIte to him at the above address, and he will vouch for the curativO properties of Seigel's Syrup, the article ;that affected this al- most miraculous cure. The following letter is from a chemist, who thought that the facts sh <uld be made known James Francis Thomas, of Pontnewyuydd, near Ponty- pool, age twenty three, collier, was ill for nine years, unable to do any work for three years, never lay down in bed for nine years, sleeping in a stooping postu. e, was treated by nearly all the doctors for miles around, who generally stated his complaint to be rheumatism and heart disease of a chronic nature, and beyond all power to cure. When hope had nearly died out he wae persuaded to try Seigel's Syrup and to the delight of his relatives and astonishment of hi« r.«i^hh^nrs after taking halt a bottle he could lie down in bed. After taking one bottle he went to work. Has now taken two bottles and on with the third and is quite well and strong. His mother is in raptures, and ean t ilk of nothing else but his marvellous cure, and wishes me to make it known."
