HAFOD. Mr and Mrs Waddingham (Mr Waddingham having been chairman of Llanfihangel-y-yCroyddin School Board for the past seven years) entertained the chil- dren attending Cwmystwyth, Devil's Bridge, and Trisant schools, as well as those attending the Ysbytty Ystwyth board school, to tea, &c., on Jubilee day. They were 410 in number, and marched to the grounds headed by the Aberystwyth Fife and Drum Band, and bearing flags, banners, &c. They were received by Mr and Mrs Waddingham, and presented with a commemoration medal each, after which tea, cake, &c., were supplied to them, and ,they sang the national anthem in fine style. The whole of the grounds were thrown open, and oranges and cakes were supplied in abundance. In the evening the members of the school boards, the teachers, and their wives, as well as the Rev John Caleb Owen, curate-in-charge of Eglwys-newydd, sat down to a substantial lunch, which was greatly enjoyed. The toast of the Queen, proposed by Mr Waddingham, was most loyally drank. Other toasts followed, including those of the host and hostess, and also the health of Mr Waddingham, sen. In the evening there was a bonfire on the summit of Penygarn, the highest peak in the county, and occupied by Mr Smith, Gel- mast, and Mr Howell, Tanybryn, from which twenty- nine fires were observable—north, east, south, and west. There is a very old collection of stones on the summit of different geological formation, which are claimed by archaeologists as having been used as beacons for fires from the earliest ages, and by geologists as having been brought together by the action of the ice. It certainly looked more like the latter than anything else until the ordnance sur- veyors built a temporary house and stand with a portion of the stones.

CWMBRWYNO. CELEBRATION OF THE JUBILEE.— On Tuesday, June 21st, the miners .employed by the Cardigan United Company lit a large fire on the hill at the back of the Manager's house. The fire was lighted at 10 o'clock by one of the directors, Mr Winter, of Newcastle, and a cask of beer was tapped by the manager and all drank health to the Queen; the fire was kept up until 12. A pleasant evening was spent, and all joined heartily in singing God save the Queen."

LLANGEITHO. THE QUEEN'S JUBILEE.—This event was celebra- ted here with enthusiastic loyalty. The day was generally observed as a holiday. In celebration of the jubilee, Mrs Davies, Cwrtmawr, opened her heart right loyally, and gave a tea, to which she invited all the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, irressective of their views either in politics and re- ligion. The tea was prepared at the schoolrooms, and many hundreds of people gathered together to do justice to the liberal table which had been provided by Mrs Davies; Tea being over, the people adjourned en masse to an adjoining field, kindly lent for the occasion by I Mr E. Davies, Wenallt, where sports were carried on.

LAST SUNDAY AT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. I The anniversary services in connection with this church were held onVv"!day> when special sermons were preached in the moving and evening. The morning service was conduct by the Rev Father Lynch, and the sermon was preached by the Rev Canon Beesley, the Cathedral, Salfora^ There was a fairly large congregation. The rev gentleman founded his remarks up«n a visit which tue Kev Mgr Canon Gadd and himself made, a few years ago, to the Holy Land. They had heard, he said, some little about that land, about which too much could not be said. He looked upon it as one of the greatest privileges of his life to be associated with the priest- hoo I of Jesus Christ in the salvation of souls, and next to that privilege was to be allowed to visit the land of the gospel-that land so fertile in sacred associations, that land which was trod by the sacred feet of Jesus Christ, that land which was watered by the sweat of His sacred brow, that land which was sprinkled with His sacred blood shed for men. He could not pretend that morning to speak to them of the whole of that gospel land, but he would take them to one spot. He should never forget when he came to the Lake Gennesaret, which was a most impressive sight. The reason was because Jesus took up his abotle on the banks of Gallilee. He left Nazareth, and scarcely ever went back, and when He did the people tried to destroy Him because He would not work a miracle. All His works and miracles were dona on the banks of Gallilee, and they would not be astonished when he told them that he saw as it were in imagination that wonderful and I majestic figure walking upon those silvery waters, bidding Peter to follow Him, and when Peter feared then the Lord chid him because he had but little faith." He also referred to other remarkable incidents which took place m the life of our Lord near tins spot, and then spoke of the ruins of Gorazim and Beth- saida, which lay at their feet, with scarcely one stoBe upon another, and tb«n they thought of the words of the divine Lord to these cities. They had seen His majestic figure, and He went on working miracle after miracle/until He saw that His works were of no avail, and He broke out in those terrible, but touching, words, Woe to thee Goraziin, woe to thee Bethsaida," & j. Then he passed on to speak of Capernaum, and noticed the terrible curse whieh had befallen that city, and said that where God gave much Capernaum, and noticed the terrible curse which had befallen that city, and said that where God gave much ,&. 1 1'"T- He expected mucn, and wnere woa gave awe nu xpected little but each would have to stand before od and answer for every grace given them—He ould demand an account of every thought, word W, d deed of their lives, and He would dema.ud an M ;ount of every grace given them. There was one ace. t where the Lord said some beautiful words, uh were great blessings to the good Catholic, on a w s plat which seemed to rise up lrom the water of ike. It was a marvellous spat, and there they told their divine Lord spoke of one of His greatest ags to the Church. He had jast been feeding r? n™1 people with the five loaves, and His name was /v mouth of all, and these miracles were tresh m m the inds. He beheld that great multitude of the m and he took the opportunity to give the great people, of the blessed sacrament; when he stood in promise ,t of the apostles and of the vast multitude the mia side, he said, I am the living Bread which on every nfrom heaven," and the apostles and people came do* amazed at His wonderful words. The were all hen forcibly insisted upon the real presence preacher t i the sacrament, arguing that the words °f T Christ were to be taken literally, other- • *'esJla ould be a deception, and that this was a riSfk f *1 ''°h all good Catholics were willing to die. truth for wl ening a jubilee service was held, when In the ev r wa8 tjj0 yery R,ey Mgr Canon the preache. le's college, Manchester.

St. er came from God, the Romans said that all pove 0m God, and there- therefore the civil power was fi t, for he said Let fore they were bound to obey i wers." Catholics every soul be subject to higher po everence the civil also were bound to respect and i God, and honour power, for St. Peter-said, -'Fear fear God so must the king," in other words As you the very same you honour the king," or, from you honour the motives that you fear God so must < pray for the king." They were also bound tc. aoted St. Paul sovereign, lin support of which he q they ought to in his epfstle to Timothy. Therefore consequently obey and respect the civil power, and utative of the should respect her who was the represe, is was not a oivil power. To show them that th present day, doctrine of the olden times, but of the md bishops, he quoted the utterances of the cardinals i ice for the which clearly proved that their reverel oong these sovereign was based upon principle.

He would be met with vho, objection that there were many amongst them sed in the Press and on the platform, had expret He sentiments at variance with these principles. ole admitted it, but he did not admit that the wh, id body of Catholics of England, Ireland, and Scotia. id were therefore disloyal. That he denied. He con. d not allow the argument that because one mau sai something disloyal therefore all men were disloyal nor should they be so unreasonable as to judge men by the excited utterances of strife-political strife —when a great political party was fighting hard for what it considered politioal rights, they might utter expressions which would seem at first sight to be at variance with their principles; but the truth would remain and assert itself in calmer momenta, that the loyalty of Catholics was based upon religion, and he was loyal because he knew his religion. Ue said the very spirit of this jubilee waa the spirit of thanksgiving to God, because if they celebrated the Queen's jubilee as they ought to do the first sentiment in their hearts was one of thanksgiving. They thanked God for the blessings He conferred upon the Church, and for what He had done for I religion, and he had done a great deal. He ventured to say that during the last fifty years England had been the greatest friend among all nations that the Catholic Church had had; there was no other country in the world where she exercised her power more freely, and where the property cf the Church more safe, than in this country of England. Had they not, then, as Catholics something to be thank- ful for P They bad, and they acknowledged it with grateful hearts. Thoy also thanked God for the ¡ social prosperity which had been given then. New I poinforts of evpry description had been given to them. Their bishop said that millions of the working classes of this country were better off for food and lodging than they ever were. They thanked God also j for their material progress, and for their material prosperity, and certainly they were enormous. The population had increased to the extent of abcut twelve millios. The land was covered all over with a network of railways, the sea was covered all over with our ships, and every nation of the world was carrying our flag. He also referred to our vast colonies, which weie brought into closs communica- tion by the telegraph and the newspapers; and, lastly, there was the great mechanical power, which, he said, was the greatest wonder of all. All these were blessings to our material progress, and they had to acknowledge them with grateful hearts, bfcause they placed England in the front phalanx of all nations. They were benefits for which they onght to be grateful, aud they, as Catholics, yielding to none in their loyalty and patriotism, assembled in the Chnrch of God, and they thanked God from their hearts for all He had done for them, and they prayed that God would bless them and have her (the Queen) for many years in his keeping. He concluded a most earnest and eloquent discourse by uttering the prayer" God save the Qrtpen."

LLANGOEDMORE. In celebration of the jubilee the services of the church were held with a special view to the great event of the day. The chants and hymns were selected from those which had been sung at the public choral festival held in Cardigan, as the centre of the surrounding parishes. The jubilee anthem" To Thee, 0 Lord, our hearts we raise," for which the air was composed by the Rev A. H. Brown, was rendered with very effective skill by the choir, led by MrW Davies, who presided on the beautiful har- monium. The congregations were large. The Yen. Archdeacon of Cardigan, being the rector of the parish, delivered a very appropriate discourse in English, on the text taken from the 1st Look of Kings, chapter 10, 8th and 9th verses, i.e., the address of the Queen of Sheba to King- Solomon. The Rev J. Morgan, the curate, followed with an address in Welsh, in which he set forth the great work accom- plished by the Church during the present reign. A more general observance of this great occurrence will be made in an excursion of all classes to the seaside.

TREFILAN. JUBILEE DAY.—A special service was held at 12 o'clock, when the Rev Daniel Griffiths (rector), and Rev T W. Griffiths (Gelly) officiated. An American cl oro-an of great value,bearing the inscription '"lrehlan Parish Church.

Bac., Oxon, professor at the College of Music, London, audits beauty and power were well displayed by Miss Bevan the Rectory. The church was decorated for the occasion by Miss Bevan and others, and various arches with appropriate mottoes spanned the roads in different places. Some time previously an appeal was made to Captain Vaughan, Brynog, Col Lewes Tyglyn Aeron, and Mrs Griffiths, Gelly, as the chief landowners of the parish, all of whom contributed with a liberal hand, and with the result that the poor of the parish and all the school children-who wore badges-were supplied with a hearty meal of meat and potatoes with cwrw da,' tollow-d by delicious nnddin". The number who enjoyed this treat was 137. At six the farmers and others joined in a dinner in the schoolroom catered for by Mr Evans, Red Lion, Talsarn, under the direction of the com- mittee, at a fixed price for each person. Some fifty sat down, and speeches and songs were given. This was followed byi a bonfire and a grand display of fireworks on Tichrug.

The children assembled at the school early m the afternoon, and. with a large banner preceding the procession, marched throueh the village to Dolau Clydan, where they were cordially addressed by the Rev W. Herbert. On their return they marched as far as the Vicarage, and wheeled round to partake of delicious tea and cake fnr +Viom bv the ladies of the village and nPisbbourhood.

Herbert a large bonfire, including a barrel of pitch, was lit on a conspicuous spot near Tymawr, while soon after the other illuminations were carried on on the Common. A good selection of rockets, balloons, wheels, &c., was made by Mr J. Thomas, chemist, to whom the success of the proceedings was chfefly due. Some of the rockets and wheels came off in splendid style, while the balloons one of which was let off by Major Hughes, were watched with the greatest enthusiasm. During the interval between each of the events, squibs tfoman candles, Italian streamers, blue lights, crackers &c were fired m all directions. Amongst those who took a prominent part in the proceedings, in addition to those already mentioned, were Messrs James Price, W. A. Jones, D. LI. Morris, J. M. Evans, W. James Jones, D. D. Jones, D. Morris, W. T. Jones, and W. Jenkins.
