SPRING ASSIZES.—The calendar contains only one prisoner for trial at these Assizes, on a charge of arson. The commission will be opened at the Shire-hall to-day (Friday.) DEATH OF A CARDIGAN MAN THROUGH SUF- FOCATION.—On Wednesday morning last, a tele- gram was received here from Llanelly, announcing the death through suffocation of James Jenkins, mariner, of Upper Muldan, in this town. It ap- pears that the deceased was on board the Scylla, of Llanelly, and was suffocated by having a par- raffin lamp burning in his berth. Deceased leaves a widow and two children. DRUNK AND RIOTOUS.—At the borough petty sessions, on Thursday last, before the Mayor and Mr. T. Edwards, George Williams, labourer, St. Mary-street, was brought up in custody, charged by P.C. D. Jones with being drunk and riotous in St. Mary-street, on the previous evening. Defen- dant pleaded that he was not very drunk, having only had a few glasses of ale. P.C. Jones proved the charge to the satisfaction of the bench, and de- fendant was fined 5s. and costs. NEWCHAPEL PETTY SESSIONS.—These sessions were held on Tuesday, the 5th inst., before Colonel Lewis (chairman), and Capt. Gower, Cilgerran, when the following cases were heard:—A.P.S. James, Cilgerran, charged Griffith Jenkins, car- penter, High-street, Cilgerran, with being drunk and riotous. Fined 5s. and costs. Same charged William James, White Mill, Llanfihangel-Pen- bedw, for using his cart on the highway, with his name illegible thereon. Fined 10s. and costs. -Same charged Thomas Evans, Brynbwa, Bri- dell, for allowing a sow to stray on the highway. Fined 6d. and costs. Same charged George Glover, labourer, Llwyncelyn, Cilgerran, for allow- ing his donkey to stray on the highway. Fined Is. 6d. and costs. Same charged Thomas Luke, Innkeeper, Blaenffos, Castellan, for allowing four pigs to stray on the highway. Fined 8d. and costs. Same charged William Morris, Maencoch, Llanfihangel-Penbedw, for allowing a sow to stray on the highway. Fined 2d. and costs. M.C.C. Rees Rees proved the two last cases. HoUoway's Ointment and Pills.-Multitudes suffering under a complication of disorders might obtain relief through these healing and purifying remedies, which should be employed without a day's delay. In no case have Holloway's Oint- ment and Pills failed to produce a cure. The Oint- ment exerts a peculiar and soothing influence over the nerves and muscles, relaxing spasms and sub- duing pain. The attack soon becomes milder and the intervals between the paroxysms longer, until they cease altogether. The Pills restore the body from a weak and debilitated condition to a state of health and strength. Persons bedridden for months with rheumatic pains and swellings, after using the Ointment have been cured in an incredi- bly snort period. FINE ART EXHIBITION.—In connection with the Cardigan Art Class the inhabitants of this town have been afforded a valuable opportunity of viewing a choice and interesting collection of the works of art We allude to the Fine Art Exhibi- tion at the Guild-hall on Saturday and Monday last, the main object of which was to exhibit Mr. Frank Miles' grand painting of the Cenarth Falls, taken during a flood, and the Peacock Vase (de- signed by Mr. Frank Miles) manufactured at the Cardigan Pottery Works; but to these were added a number of beautiful flower paintings by Mrs. Miles, pencil portraits by Mr. Frank Miles, water colour paintings by Mr. and Mrs. Marshallsay, to- gether with some well-designed specimens of Pot- tery manufactured by Messrs. Woodward & Co. Mr. Woodward also kindly lent his fine collection of paintings, including a scenery in North Wales, and another by Llysnewydd, which greatly added to the attractiveness of the collection. The chief object of attractioa was Mr. Frank Miles' painting of the Cenarth Falls, a work that must have cost labourious study and observation. The natural .appearance of the foaming water whilst tumbling over the rocks is a special feature in the painting, and, we believe, the first attempt at introducing such a volume of that element; the surrounding scenery is also admirably represented. A notice* able feature also in the painting is a representation of a salmon in the act of leaping up the falls, a de- liniation which could almost be taken as a reality. The picture on the whole reflects highly upon the talent and skill of Mr. Miles as an artist, and will, undoubtedly, win him high reputation. The Pea- cock Vase, originally intended for the Paris Exhi- bition, was also worthy of inspection, having been admirably executed; and, indeed, we do not think it could rarely be surpassed in more pretentious establishments for beauty and excellency. An- other attractive object was a model mantlepiece, the work of Mrs. Miles, which was very prettily designed. Several other productions by Mrs. Miles were exhibited, and that lady seems to possess a special ability for floral painting. The productions of Mr. and Mrs. Marshallsay also occupied an im- portant place in the collection, and certainly are a credit to them. Six rare photographs of Thor- waldsen's Seasons (lent by Mr. Marshallsay) also formed a very attractive addition to the exhibi- tion. The public owe a debt of gratitude to the various contributors for this excellent collec- tion. The exhibition was well patronised by the public, and the proceeds are for the benefit of the Art Class. GREAT INDUSTRIES OF GREAT BRITAIN.—We have been forwarded the first number of the above new and valuable book. The object of the work is to acquaint the masses of Great Britain of the nature, extent, relations, processes and prospects of the great industries that place this country in such an imperial position as the great world manu- facturer. This part contains articles upon iron and steel, manufacture of cotton, hemp, flax, jute, and shipbuilding, interspersed with biographical sketches of eminent manufacturers, together with articles on industrial legislation and health and diseases of industrial occupations. It is worthy of perusal by all classes. With this part is presented a portrait of the late Sir Titus Salt, handsomely printed on plate paper, and suitable for framing. 0 0 BURIAL BOARD. An adjourned meeting of this body was held at the Council Chamber, on Tuesday last, when there were present—Messrs. T. Davies (chairman), J. Lewis, S. Davies, James Williams, L. James, O. P. Davies, and T. Edwards. On the motion of Mr. S. Davies, seconded by Mr. O. P. Davies, it was resolved that Mr. Wood- ward be asked to prepare the necessary plans and specifications for the completion of the Cemetery boundary walls. On the motion of Mr. O. P. Davies, seconded by Mr. James Williams, it was resolved to apply to the London Life Assurance Association for their terms for a loan of J6800 to extend over 30 years the application to be deferred until the Mayor had paid up the borough loan. Mr. James Williams called attention to the da- mages done to the walls of the Cemetery by par- ties who played foot-ball, &c., and urged that some steps should be taken to make an example of some of them. He had sent the crier out to warn them, but it was of no good. Mr. J. Lewis: I saw five boys on top of the wall at the same time. The Chairman The Netpool field is uniftted for playing games in any longer, and we should en- deavour to stop them. Mr. J. Lewis I beg to move that inasmuch as damage has been done to the boundary walls of the Cemetery by those who play foot-ball, &c., at the Netpool field, that this board memorialise the Rev. Mr. Miles, to prohibit games being played there in future, the recreation ground being inten- ded for that purpose. Seconded by Mr. L. James, and carried. The meeting was further adjourned for a week. A CORRECTION. At a meeting of the board, held last week, the Clerk called upon the reporter of the Tivy-Side Adverti8er to correct an error which was made in his report of the previous meeting. The report stated that a salary of £ 30 was granted the Clerk for his services since the formation of the board; while the above amount included upwards of E21 due for professional services, purchase of books, stamps, &c. The report, as published by us, was correct. CARDIGAN TOWN COUNCIL. A meeting of the Council was held on Thursday last, at the Council Chamber, presided over by the Mayor. The following members were present:— Aldermen Davies and Edwards, Councillors Asa J. Evans, Rev. W. Jones, Dr. Phillips, L. Evans, J. Lewis, W. Woodward, Levi James, and O. P. Davies. THE WATER SOURCE. The Mayor reported that the committee appoint- ed to visit the water source, and report thereon, had done so. The pipes were in a very unsatisfac- tory state, and nothing to prevent all manner of filth getting into them, and deteriorate the water. Before proceeding with the water scheme, the com- mittee was of opinion that the source should be put in a proper state, and weH protected. Mr. L. Evans: When the specimens of water were exhibited here some months ago, and the water pronounced pure at Glanbran, I then ob- served that I considered that water even more dan- gerous than the troubled samples, because it con- tained a quantity of animalcule and decomposed vegetation. Mr. L. James: The source is at present a per- fect bog, and a quantity of surface water gets into the pipes. How the water is clear at Glanbran is a mystery to me. The Mayor: Is not the filter bed of any good ? Mr. L. Evans It is of no good whatever. Mr. L. James If my memory serves me right, the filter is only a cesspool, with a pipe carrying the water in, and another leading it out, with a copper strainer to prevent sand and such things passing into the pipes. Alderman Davies moved that Mark Watkins be engaged to put the pipes in order at the source, under the supervision of the Council. Mr. Woodward: The source is a bed of sand, and a filter of itself. You can never get a better one. You must not on any account lay pipes up to the source, or else you will destroy it. By the information transmitted to.,me, I understand that the source has entirely changed since the water works were made. A large main, leading to the filter bed, should be laid down; I cannot under- stand how the filter bed has become useless, Four or five leaders could easily be run into the main, with a stone gutter tot conduct the water, which would increase the supply; a cesspool also to be constructed every 30 or 40 yards. I have great pleasure in seconding Alderman Davies motion. Mr. J. Lewis The cistern constructed some six years ago produces the most of the present supply. It was ultimately agreed that the work be pro- ceeded with forthwith. THE WATER SCHEME. The Mayor: Mr. Woodward has been requested to prepare specifications; perhaps he is in a posi- tion to furnish us with them. P Mr. Woodward: I am not in a position to do so, as you have not determined upon the size of the pipes, the situation of the new reservoir, the out- let, &c. The overflow from the new reservoir could be turned into the old pipes, with but little ex- pense if you determine to leave them where they are. I Mr. Asa J. Evans moved, and Dr. Phillips onded, that the adjoining landowners have the benefit of the overflow, as it would greatly enhance the value of their property. It would be a pity to let it run waste. On the motion of Mr. Asa J. Evans, seconded by Alderman Davies, it was resolved that the whole Council should visit the Commons, so as to determine upon the spot for the intended reservoir, and the size of the pipes required. IMPROVEMENTS IN THE UPPER MARKET. Mr. Woodward said that he had not completed the plans and specifications for sheds, &c., but he was in a position to give a rough guess. By the contemplated sheds, room for about 28 additional standings could be had, with a passage of 3ft. 6in. This passage would enable the public to proceed straight to the main market. The expense would probably be from £35 to £40. The plans and speci- fications would be ready by the next meeting. THE MAGISTRATES' CLERK'S PEES. The Mayor said that Mr. Smith and himself had been appointed to examine the magistrates' clerk's book, and ascertain the amount of fees paid during the last three years, so as to form a basis to guide them in fixing the .dirk's salary for the future, as the law had altered. Mr. Smith having been in- disposed, the work had not been accomplished. However, he was prepared to go through them himself, and report the result to the next meeting, if they thought proper. It was resolved tfe^t the Mayor should do so. SUPPLEMENTAL VALUATION LIST. The Mayor submitted the new valuation list, prepared by Mr. J. R. Davies, the rate collector, which he thought was a very fair one. Several new buildings had been erected in the borough, which necessitated it. VOTE FOR THE GRAMMAR SCHOOL. The usual sum of 21s., towards the prizes in the Grammar School was granted. DISCHARGING THE BOROUGH DEBT. The Mayor said that the sum of JE705 Os. 9d., including interest up to the 15th instant, was all that was due to the London Life Assurance Asso- ciation and having JE774 in hand, it would be better to discharge the claim forthwith. On the motion of Alderman Davies, seconded by Mr. L. James, it was resolved that the Mayor be authorised to send a cheque for the amount. SCARLET FEVER. Mr. L. Evans called attention to the fact that & whole family was under scarlet fever at Arthur's Court, Strand. Every precaution should be taken to isolate the cases, and endeavour to stamp it out. The Inspector: I visit the house daily, and do all I can to disinfect it. Dr. Noott is also in atten- dance as medical officer of health. THE CLAY PITS. The clay pits were reported in a good working condition. Mr. Woodward: My attention has been called to the fact that the soil of the garden where the new clay pit is, is now being carted away and de- posited near Pensamau pond. I do not know by whose authority that is being done. It was a great pity to destroy the IsOil; many would be glad to get it, pay for it, and cart it away, which would be a saving to the CounciL The Surveyor Mr. Lewis ordered me to do it. Mr. Lewis had left before the question was raised, and therefore an explanation could not be given.
Correspondence.
Correspondence. We do not deem ourselves responsible for the opinions expressed by our Correspondents. To the Editor of the CARDIGAN OBSERVER. SIR,—Again I take the liberty of trespassing upon your valuable space, in order to reply to the long-promised letter of Well Wisher, which re- cently appeared in the columns of your contempo- rary. In the first place, I should remind your readers that I did not seek this "paper war," but simply took up the gauntlet thrown down some weelcs ago by a person who called himself "Obser- ver," and by the remarks thereon by the Editor of the paper in which that letter appeared. Since I wrote the letter which was crowded out of your last week's issue, I find that two letters have been inserted in your paper, and in that of your con- temporary, which have rendered it unnecessary for me to dwell on those portions of the letter to which they refer, as they evidently prove that "Choir No. 1" was not formed in that straightforward and open manner in which Well Wisher" asserts it to have been; and I may say that it was very wrong of "Well Wisher" to maliciously attack persons by name in the public manner he did, es- pecially as he writes under a nom de plume. Again, Well Wisher seems to have fallen in love with the name of our choir (Tivy-Side), as he haø not only taken the liberty'of appropriating that name to his own choir, but has even had the presumption to endeavour to push upon us another name; per- haps he thinks tnat by this means he might be able at a later date to confuse the public as to which is which, and thereby involve in a mist the underhandedness which he himself could not but be conscious had characterized the formation of his choir; but this I am determined as far as possible to counteract. Choir No. 1" is already called by three different names, as appears by "Well Wisher's letter, but it has, in fact, another name, viz., "The Cardigan United Choir" (which was its original one), but this title he evidently seems anxious to avoid, as every one knows that it is a most inappropriate one. I should call the attention of your readers also to the fact that the Editor of the "Tizer" eschews this name, as I am informed on very good authority that he has suppressed this alias in the letter of the three leaders, which appeared in their last issue, and moreover that he has transposed the words of ano- ther alias, in order, I presume, to suit his own views—by this I mean his insertion of the Cardi- gan before St. Dogmells, instead of after, as in the copy furnished him. I should state, by the way, that the committee of the Tivy-Side Choir chose that name, not out of compliment to the title of your contemporary, but for the simple rea- son that the members of our choir are formed, in a great measure, of persons residing on the banks of the Tivy. Again, as to "Well Wisher" pro- nouncing the committee of the Tivy-Side Choir mean, base, and underhanded, he has evidently used his own yard (with his usual business-like dexterity) to measure others by. As to his state- ment that public opinion still remains unshaken in favour of No. 1 Choir, this remains to be proved. If it be true, (?) it is altogether owing to the false statements with which they have misled the pub- lie; and now the public having seen the two letters in your last number, cannot any longer be led astray by any falsehoods which "Well Wisher," or any other person, may choose to fabricate; and cannot but be convinced that the Tivy-Side Choir has not done anything but what was just and pro- per under the circumstances. Again, in regard to Well Wisher" calling into question "my having obained sufficient knowledge of music to enable me to pass judgment on others, I need scarcely say that very little indeed was sufficient in that case; and for that little, I hold a certificate. As to the eloquent, pathetic, and serge advice contained in his letter, I think the old adages—" Physician heal thyself," and Charity begins at home," are fit and proper retorts. In reply to the last insinuation contained in the letter referred to (there are many irrelevant ones which I have passed, as being im- material to the matter in hand), I can only state that so far as the Committee of our choir is con- cerned, we have decidedly not sent any anonymous communications to the managers of the St. Dog- mells British School, for the very good reason that we would not for a moment entertain such an idea; and if such communications have been sent (which I very much question), they have decidedly not been sent with our cognizance. It is immaterial to us where or when they meet, our motto being "Live, and let live"; but if he chooses to fabri- cate stories, I will decidedly not allow them to pass unchallenged, bearing the proverb in mind that "Silence gives consent"; hence this letter. In conclusion, I hope (for once coinciding with « Well Wisher") that this will suffice for the pre- sent, and not only for the present, but also for the. future; however, should occasion call for it, he will not find me tardy in entering the lists again I remain, yours truly, COMMITTEE-MAN.
