NOTES AND NEWS FROM PONTYCYMMER. On Saturday evening a young man, named Win. Phillips, lost his life near Kenfig Hill. He was a native of Pembrokeshire. Last Saturday week he took advantage of the annual excursions to Pem- brokeshire to see his parents who live at the sea- side near Tenby, since then he has spent a week'^ exoursion in Glamorganshire he was in Barry. Neath, and Porthcawl. He was returning to his lodgings in Pontycymmer, when by some means he wandered to the Great Western Railway near Kenfig Hill, and was knocked down by a passing engine, and literally cut in two. The mangled remains will be sent to Pembrokeshire for inter- ment. Last Thursflar a fatal accident happened at the International Colliery, Blaengarw. The hitcher had crossed the bottom of the shaft, when the cage descended on him. Death was instantaneous. There was a vestry held last week at Llangal1 in connection with the common affair.
