REJOICINGS.—Subscriptions are being obtained y a committee formed for the purpose of celebrating the coming of age of Mr. Lloyd, ^erth, which takes place about the middle of August. INDUCTION OF CHURCHWARDENS.—On Tuesday ^veek, the Very rev. the Dean of St. Asaph, acting in the place of the late Archdeacon l°rgan, a visitation at St. Peter's Church, ^uthin. After divine service he received the New churchwardens of the parishes in the deanery, aNd inducted them to the office. EARLY HARVEST.—The earliest ingathering of ,°rn that has taken place in this district we elieve was that on land belonging to the mayor, ai'cus Louis, Esq., where a splendid field of oats in excellent condition was well harvested pior to Wednesday week. The crops generally N the neighbourhood seem in good condition. 10 LLANRWST. THE LITTLE DIRTY RIVER.-Attention has been called at quarter sessions to the nuisance caused by a tanyard to the little river which runs under the street opposite Paris House, and it was said that the accumulation of dirt at this place was likely to damage the bridge. If the sanitary authority for Tre'rdre and its officers were a little more active, such a state of things would not have been allowed to remain so long. The refuse from the tanyard is allowed to flow down the stream, while across the same generally are carts which prevent the refuse being carried down, so that there is always a large amount of offensive substance. Also, those bringing carts with pigs to the town clear the refuse from the carts and throw it into the river, while persons in the neighbouring houses make its bed a convenience for throwing rotten vegetables and other un- healthy things. It is to be hoped that the sanitary authority will look to this matter. THE POLICE AND THE RIOTERs.-The other evening the police officers of Llanrwst had occasion to take a person into custody, when a daring attempt, by a large crowd, was made to rescue the prisoner and to assault the police. The matter came under the attention of the magistrates, who, after thoroughly investigating the case, said they were glad the police had acted firmly during the riot, and that, at the same time, they did not act violently towards the crowd, as they might have reason to do, but that they took the matter coolly, marking out those who had acted unlawfully on the occasion. Of course the offenders were summoned, and received their deserts. MACHYNLLETH. A RIDE TO LONDON AND BACK ON HORSEBACK.— This feat was performed by a gentleman of this town a short time ago. The time, according to his own statement, he took in actual travelling to and fro was a little over six days. The horse did not appear any worse for the journey after the return, being away about a fortnight from Machynlleth. TREFRIW. BUILDING.-Calculating upon the resources of the place, persons continue building here. At the same time, it is a matter of regret that greater care is not taken to provide that the buildings shall be suitable and not a nuisance to others. There are now in course of erection within a short distance of the quay where the steamer lands two or three houses built up to the rock, and the roofs of the houses will just be on a level with a road, and will be in front of other houses. It is said of Barmouth that one house is so constructed that his neighbour can look down the chimney and see what is being prepared for breakfast below. This is likely to be the case at Trefriw, according to the present mode of building. To know what one's neighbour gets for breakfast might be highly interesting, but to have a share of the smoke of one's neighbour with breakfast is not at all what people will care for. Also something should be done to have a decent yard attached to houses. There is no lack of room at Trefriw, and persons should not be stingy in the matter of a few yards space at a part which was no good before. The Llanrwst Sanitary Authority should do the same as the Conway Authority did to Colwyn Bay- depute their power to a number of persons- at Trefriw, then there would be some control over buildings and other affairs at this very attractive spot. DENBIGH. WESLEYAN AND INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS.—On Thursday week, the Sunday schools of the Independent chapels in the town and district had their annual excursion to Rhyl, starting by train soon after eight o'clock. At Rhyl they received refreshments and were entertained in a variety of ways.-On the same day, Wesleyan scholars, teachers, and friends went to St. Asaph. They assembled about mid-day at the schools, and were conveyed to their destination in ten waggons. At St. Asaph tea was provided for them, followed by a meeting of a musical and literary character as well as some amusements. The weather was very wet and unfavourable. CHURCH SCHOOLS TRIP.-The annual treat of the Church Sunday schools scholars and teachers was arranged for last Friday, the place selected being Bettws-y-coed. A special train was chartered and the scholars were conveyed thither and back for the sum of Is. 3d; those under twelve paying 6d. only. Arrangements had been made to give them all a good tea at Bettws-y-coed and other refreshments. Every effort was made to promote the success of the affair by the committee. Messrs. R. H. Roberts, solicitor; W. Hughes, the station and the Rev. T. W. Vaughan. As a goodly number of the younger children could not go to a place so far away from home, it is, we believe intended to give them a treat at home. A DANGEROUS EXPERIMENT.—A few evenings ago one of the railway officials found a man asleep in one of the carriages of the Corwen train. He roused him, ascertained that he had been duly booked, and then left him. The train started some time afterwards, and when it had got nearly to the platform the officials saw the man deli- berately open the door, and attempt to get out of the train. His foot caught the edge of the platform, and was dragged some distance, scattering the gravel in all directions. He managed, however, to get back into the carriage just as the train got to the bridge over Vale-street, where, if he had not done so, he would have been terribly injured. It was thought that he must have fallen asleep after his ticket was examined, and awaking suddenly, imagined he was being carried beyond his station. MOLD. SUDDEN DEATH OF THE WIFE OF THE WELSH CONGREGATIONAL MINISTER, The Rev. T. Roberts, minister of the Welsh Congregational Church, Mold, was with his wife and family rusticating at Trawsfynydd. They intended to return to Mold on Thursday last, but YDydd, a Welsh Congregational newspaper published at Dolgelley that day, contained the following sad announcement, which took many by surprise:- Just as we were going to press, news arrived at our office that Mrs. Roberts, wife of the Rev. T. Roberts, Mold, suddenly died on Wednesday morning at the residence of her mother, Tyddyn Bach, Trawsfynydd. She will be buried at Mhenystryd on Saturday. We can only give a short account by expressing our regret at the loss our dear friend Mr. Roberts, and family, have sustained." Mrs. Roberts had not been over strong for some time, but her death was most unexpected. She has only 'been married to Mr. Roberts two or three years. LLANUWCHLLYN. r SUDDEN DEATH.—On Sunday evening last Mr. Thomas Edwards (Bardd Dochan), known to many as the "blind bard," departed this life somewhat suddenly. Last Sunday week he attended the Carmel Independent Sunday School, of which he was a member, in the morning, and the Ebenezer Independent Chapel in the afternoon, apparently enjoying his usual good health. On Monday as he was assisting a neighbourin0- farmer with the hay he had a fall, the results of which terminated fatally. His body was interred at the Llanuwchllyn Churchyard.
