BRIDGEND. HOPE MUTUAL IMPROVEMENT CLASS.—The weekly meeting of this young men's improvement class on Thursday evening last week was presided over by Mr. John Lewis. There Tras a fairly large atten- dance. A paper was read on "Slaves of the Nineteenth Century" by Mr. P. Morgan, after which a sharp dis- cussion followed. WESLEYAN MUTUAL IMPROVEMENT CLASS.— A musical evening was enjoyed by the members of the above class on Friday evening in last week, when a goolly number of persons attended. Next week a Bible reading will be given. MONTHLY MAHKET.—The monthly market of stock was largely attended on Monday last. A largo number of milch and store cows and sheep wre offered, but the sale was not brisk. Mr. W. Thorne offered for sale by auction several Jersey cows from the famous herd at Porihcawl, belonging to Mrs. Brogden. PROPOSED RE-ESTABLISHMENT OFTIIR UNITED CHOIR.—We understand that efforts are being made to get a. committee together towards revising this once successful institution. It is proposed to agÜn re- quisition the services of the veteran leader—Mr. John Jenkins. Tondu—who, we hear, is perfecslv willing to again undertake the duties. It is to be hoped the choir will be established on a sound basis, and will assist in once again upholding the reputation of the town in musical circles, as Penybont-pen-y-byd. DEMISE.—We have to record with regret the death of Mrs. Thomas, wife of Mr. Robert Thomas, for many years an inhabitant of the town, and who recently removed to Aberkenfig. Deceased, for many years has not been in the enjoyment of her full strength and health, and yielded to the inevitable on Thursdiy in last week. The interment took place at Coity 011 Tuesday last. FUNERAL OF MRS. EDWARD RICH.—The funeTal of the widow of the late Mr. Edward Rich, a former native of the town, and for many years a member of the Briilgend Local Board, took place on Monday last at Holton Churchyard. There was a large gathering of townspeople and relatives, the deceased lady being held in the highest esteem by all. She was the mother of Mr. Edward Rich, Brackla-street, a member of the Bridgend Local Board at present.- HARVEST THANKSGIVING.—Services of thanks- giving for the harvest were held at the Tabernacle Independent Chapel, Bridgend, on Wednesday after- noon and evening last. A prayer meeting was held in the afternoon and in the evening, the Rev. George James (Baptist) occupied the pulpit, and preached an appropriate sermon. SMASHING A WINDOW.—A young girl, 16 years of age, named Amelia Vaughan, daughter of Thomas Vaughan, a labourer, was brought up in custody at the magistrates' clerk's office on Wednesdav last on a charge of having wilfully damaged a window belong- ing to Mr. David Williams, stationer, Caroline-street, for the purpose of committing a felony, on the previous night, about 11.30—Police-constable Benjamin James gave evidence, and prisoner was remanded on bail until to-morrow (Saturday). SUDDEN DEATH.—An old woman, named Eliza Evans, aged 55 years, an inmate of the Bridgend Work- house, died rather suddenly on Sunday last at that institllcion.-An inquest was he'd on Monday, before Mr. E. B. Rees, coroner, when, after evidence had been adduced that deceased was subject to epileptic fits, a verdict of Death from natural causes" was returned. MAESTEG. THE RECENT STORM.—The violent storms last week was the means of blowing down a tree inside the boundary wall of the residence of Mr. J. Tamblyn. Owing to its force, it also knocked down .a large portion of the wall. TRANSFER OF LICENCE.—The licence of the Royal Oak, Llangonoyd, was temporarily transferred on Saturday last, at the Bridgend Police-court, to Thomas Pritchard from John Griffiths. LLAN TWIT-MAJOR, THE severe "torm which brok" over this diatric last week did great dam age to rick yards by striking the thatching. Several trees are blown down in the neighbourhood. The fruit that remained ungathered are all blown down, and several fvuit trees uprooted. anniversary services in connection with the above place of worship took place on October 7th and 8th. The first service was held at Ebenezer, Llantwit (which is a branch of the mother Church) on Wednesday at 6.30 p.m., when tile Rev. M. Jones, Tynewydd, Treherbert, preached in Welsh, and Rev. W. White, Brynmawr, in English. The ser- vices were continued Thursday at ten, two, and six in Bethesda, when the rev. gentleman delivered powerful and impressive sermons. The collections during the services were very good amounting to over £5. ANNIVERSARY SERVICES.—On WednesJay and Thursday in last week the anniversary services in con- nection with the Bethel Baptist Chapel took place, when able sermons were preached by the Hev. K. Allen, Pontypridd, in Welsh, and by the Rev. C. E. Probert in English. At 10 o'clock on Thursday morn- ing the Rev. Mr. Allen ordained three deacons in place of those deceased. The rev. gentleman gave a very- able explanation of the duties of deacons. The gentle- men chosen by the church for that importtmt office were—Mr. Tom Jones, Church-street; Mr. David Thomas. Lanmaes and Mr. Edward Meredith, Down Cross Cottage. Collections were made in aid of the church funds, and the sum realised was very sub- stantial. VESSEL ASHORE.—About 6 a.m. on Friday morning, when the local coast guard officer was on duty near Stout Point he discovered a vessel ashore between Stout Point and Summerdown Point, which proved to be the Norwegian brigantine Arturo. The crew were in the rigging, and when the tide left the vessel the captain stated that they left Barry on the 5th inst., and in consequence of the head winds and storms were driven back into the Channel, and casting anchor off the Welsh coast on Thursday night were able to ride out the storm until about 4 a.m. on Friday morning, wdien the vessel dragging her cable, he slipped his chain but was unable to heave her to the wind, and was driven ashore. The captain and crew, which numbered eleven hands all told, managed to save their effects, but the ship is a complete wreck Ca pt:1.Ín John Thomas, Channel View, saw to the comfort of the crew, and took measures to rescue as much as pos- sible of the sails, ropes, &c.. belonging to the Arturo. ABERKENFIG. EBENEZER CONGREGATIONAL CHAPEL. — On Sunday evening last the quarterly meeting of the above chapel took place, when a large number came together to listen to the capital programme that had been provided. Ths singing and reciting was far superb to that at any previous meeting. The recitation of "Y gwrandawwr Ystyfnig," by Mr. Jones, late of Dowlais, was excellent, but the climax was not reached until Mr. D. Phillips and party recited the dialogue, Iesu fel Meddyg." which was a treat, and when the party sang the hymn," Dyma geidwad i'r colledig," which was the finish of the dialogue, the whole congre- gation joined in the singing, and the last two lines were repeated several times. The whole congregation were llloveù to tears hy the excellent rendering of the piece. The singing of the party under the leadership of Mr. John Rees was very creditable, and the duett by Mr. M. Matthews and Miss C. Thomas (LIino3 Cynffig) was enjoyed by everyone present. The fi lowing were presented with certificates for passing in the examination of the Cymanfa Pwnc held on the 7th inst.:—Mr. T. Hopkin, Miss R. Roberts, and Miss S Morris. The Rev. E. Davies mide an excellent chairman. Programme — Congregational Hymn, Iv.irsbey recitation, 3rd chapter cf Proverb. Miss R.

INQUEST.—An inquest on the body of Frederick Hobbs Davey, who was picked up here drowned on Saturday last, was held on Monday, under Mr. Cuth- bertson, coroner. A verdict of Accidental drown- ing was returned. For seven years I suffered from Asthma, tried all known remedies, and LEWIS'S PECTORAL BALSAM is toe best of all."—Is. l £ d. per bottle. POXTYCLOWN. HEAVY FLOODS.—After the heavy downfall of ra'n of ast Sunday night the river Ely overflowed on Monday morning at Pontyclown, Brynsaddler, Miskin Village, and on the road leading to Miskin Manor, so that it was with great difficulty traffic could be kept going. Several commercial travellers arriving at Liantrisant that morning were as usual giving pre- ference to "shank's ponies," tramped on as far as Pontyclown where they suddendly found their mistake, the water being more than 3 feet deep over the road from the bridge right up to Pontyclown House. By the bridge they had to remain until some good Samaritans came with vehicles to pick them np and land them on terra firma, the north side of the flood. Other gentlemen were busily engaged with vehicles convoying men, women and children from Brynsaddler to Lbntris:1nt Station. TIN-PLATE WORKS.—The Ely Tin-place Works appears to be once more in a healthy state, and have rallied from the effects of the stop inontn, and all wheels are in full swing again. COEDCAE BLEWOG COLLIERY is going on '.veil under the able management of Mr. Roderick. Mr. Jonah Jones acts as under manager. Their chief operation is the opening of a new worklug, and as they have their several valuable seams they anticipate being able to raise a fair quantity of coal by March next. NEW PLACES OF WORSHIP.—We are looking on here now for a new Independent chapel and a new church. Well done, Pontyclown; I am sure we won't have them before they were very much needed. PONTYCYMMER. THE REV. T. D/.VIES.—We are sorry to hear that the Rev. T. Davies, Noddfa, Pontycymmer, is laid low with influenza. He was not in his pulpit last Sabbath. We hope he will soon be able to resume his duties. ABERKENFIG. DEPARTURE OF POLICE-CONSTABLE PHILLIPS. —Police-constable Philip Phillips, who has been stationed in the neighbourhood for some little time, and who has been successful in winning a number of admirers, left on Tuesday last to take charge of the safeguarding of the works of Messrs. Wright and Butler at Cwmavon. The inhabitants all deplore his departure, and wish him their hearties success. "T e understand that a movement is on foot to make a presentation to him. MERTHYRMAWR. OBITUARY.—We regret to have to chronicle the news, just to hand, of the death of Edward, son of Mr. Griffith Rees of this place. Some months ago, owing to being in a bad state of health, lie wils ordered out to Australia, whither he went. After arriving out there, however, ho never fully recouped, and died a short time ago. Deceased, who will be remembered as of a quiet and ami ible disposition, for some time was em- ployed at the office of Mr. A. D. Webber, goods agent Bridgend. OGMORE VALLEY. THANKSGIVING SERVICES.—On Sunday and Monday last thanksgiving services were held at bt. D "yirs hurch, when Revs. Canon Roberts, Llandaff, and Mr. Evanson, Mcrthyrmawr, officiated. ANNIVERSARY.—On Sunday and Monday the Wes- leyans of Nantymoel held their Sunday School anni- versary. Mr. J. Bennett, Tynewydd, and Mr. J. T. Onions, Tynewydd, preached in the morning and evening respectively. At 2.3J on Sunday a service consisting of singing, reciting, etc., was held, under the presi,lencyof Mr. Bennett. On Monday afternoon a tea party was held, and an entertainment, under the presidency of 11r. Onions. PRESENTATION.—On Wednesday evening, the 14th inst., a meeting was held at Tynewydd Schoolroom for the purpose of presenting Mr. H. J. Morgan, lato assistant-master at Tynewydd Schools, with an address, watch, and a purse of money, on his leaving the Valley to enter on a course of training at the Cardiff Univer- sity College. Mr. \V. Llewellyn, chairman of the Llangeinor School Board, presided. The Chairman. Mr. Mackney, schoolmaster; Mr. E. Edwards, school- master, N antymocl; 1111'. Chilton, president of the Athletic Club; Mr. F. A. Vangelder, secretary of the Athletic CInb and others spoke very highly of Mr. Morgan. On behalf of the subscribers, the address was read and presented by Mr. J. Chilton, the vatch by Miss M. Lewis, Tynewydd Schools, and the purse bv Mr. Vangelder. Mr. Morgan verv suitably thanked all who had subscribed towards the testimonial, and expressed his sorrow on having to part with the Tynewydd friends. After having a. few more speeches and songs, a. very enjoyable meeting was brought to a close. BURSTING OF A STEAM PIPE.—About 8.30 on Saturday evening last a loud report was heard coming from the direction of the Wyndham Pit. Scores of pe0 pIe, of both sexes, in great excitement an, I alarm made their way towards the pit bank, thinking that something serious hMl occurred but to their relief they found after reaching there that nothing more than the bursting of a steam-pipe had happened. No one was injured. NANTYMOEL. PREACHING SERVICES.—The half-yearly meetings of the Welsh Caivinistic Methodists were held at Dinam Chapel, on Sunday a.nd Monday last. The ministers engaged on the occasion were the Rev. Thos. James, M.A. (Llanelly), brother of the pastor, and Rev. W. H. Thomas (Maesteg). The services were of a very ennobling nature, and the attendance was usually large. PENTYRCH. DEATH.—With deep regret we record the death and burial of Albert Samuel, aged 3 years 5 months, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Jones, 1. Arcot-street, Penarth, after a very severe but short illness. The child was one of the healthiest, brightest of the children—12 in all—but the litttle boy was attacked with scarletina, and inflammation set it and took him away on the 14th inst. On the 16th (Friday) the funeral took place, starting from Arcot-street for the above place (Mr. Jones's native place) aboat 2 p.m., ariving at Bron- llwyn Congregational Chapel about 4 p.m. where a very large numb:r of relatives and Lienrls were assembled. The Rev. John Davies, minister of the place, conducted the service, and preached an appro- priate sermon from Job xiv. 14. The coffin, covered with beautiful wreaths, was then borne by the brothers or the deceased chilel t,) the grave, where a short ser- vice was conducted by the Rev. T. Jones Davies, C.M.. Pentyrch. The funeral arrangements were carried out in a very satisfactory manner by the undertakers, Mr. F. J. Hooper and Son, Windsor-road, Penarth. and Ho!ton-ro.id, Barry. We deeply sympathise with the bereaved parents and family in their sorrow. FIRST MEET OF THE HOUNDS. — October 20th was the first meet of thc Llanharran Hounrl:5 in this neighbourhood. A goodly number of men and horses met at ten o'clock, Twyn-pen-y-garn, and started for the Garth-Garthgocd, as it is callerl-anl1 ere long they succeeded in starting a fine fox: but after a short, sharp run, Reynard managed to get into a place of safety. Not very far from Castell-y-mynach they started another, and went after it in full cry, and the writer last heard the sound in the distance, and did not see any of the huntsmen until dark, when he found that they had b;en three times around the Garth Mountain, and killed at last near the spot it was started from, Mr. T. Llewelyn, Ty-yn-y-wain taking the brush. The weather on the whole was very fa- vourable. We have had our share of game-killers, as usual, in our district. About the best hands are the three t rather., by the name of Warren, from the firm of solicitors of that name in the metropolis. They come every now and again and kill great numbers of birds, hares, and rabbits. The slain on their last visit were more numerous than usual. They are so gene- rous and kindly-disposed that they make a great num- ber of presents to the tenants and others. Llenfer," not LIeufer Thomas, but one who who bore that uom <Is plum", before Mr. Thomas was lorn, being one of the recipients, wrote the following lines on the spur of the moment. Surely the chance of be'ug 1111- mortalised in Hawing verse, such as the appended, should spur other sportsmen to be as generous. The gentlemen from London I know by sight and name To them I am indebted For this fine brace of game. They are experts at shooting, And killing on all hands This is Aceldama. When they are on the lands. t And not from selfish motives, The spoil they all divide Between a goodly number. Far, near, broad, and wide. I trust that all are ready To cry aloud with me, And give the Warrens cheers In hearty three times three. THE Llanharran and Ystrad Hounds will meet on Wednesday, October 28th, at Llanharran, at 10.30. NEATH. DEATH.—We regret having to record the death of Mr. Owen Richard, of Tonna. a student for the Bap- tist ministry, who died on Wednesday night in last week. Mr. Richards, who wa3 but twenty-five years of age, gave many promises of a good career. He ruptured a blood-vessel when on a preaching tour in North Wales some time b-iek, and never recovered. He was buried on Monday. ACCIDENT.—On Sunday last an unfortunate acci- dent occurred at Neath, A French travelling mena- gerie was passing along London-road, when a wheel of one of the caravans came into coutact with the tram line and hroke off, and the caravan was overturnec1. There were in it a boy and a girl, whilst the driver sat in the front. The latter was thrown from his scat, and the whole weight Of the huge caravan came upon his body. He was extricated with much difficulty; how he escaped death is really marvellous. He was carried to a neighbouring house, and Dr. Llewellyn Lewis was soon in attendance. It is said that the un- fortunate fellow has broken some of his ribs. The woman anel the girl escaped injury. THE RECENT GALES AND FLOODS have had a disastrous effect upon Neath and district. Last week the shop windows of Messrs. J. D. Llewellyn and Co., the Neath Supply Stores, was entirely blown in by the wind, causing considerable damage. Outside the town several huge trees are lying on the roadside, having been completely uprooted by the wind. At Aberdu- his the flood has again inundated the houses, compell- ing the residents to seek shelter from the water upstairs, On Monday the flood entered the tinworks and stopped work in several of the departments. It is rumoured that a neighbouring farmer has 10Jt thirty-five sheep, which are supposed to hive been carried away by the flood. ART CLASSES.—The evening art classes of Mr. Phillips, Queen-street, are gaining a wide reputation. Numerous and creditable successes are continually re- corded of Mr. Phillips' pupils. Prizes for freehand drawing were recently given by the Schoolmistress, and hundreds of competent teachers throughout the country c0:11petcd. The second prize was won by Miss Annie Phillips, Rosser-street, pupil teacher at the British Schools, and a pupil of Mr. Phillips. Miss Minnie Owen (British Schools), and Misses Hutchinson and Jones (Briton Ferry Board Schools), also pupils of the above classes, were highly compli- mented. Miss Phillips deserves praise, inasmuch as she is the only prize-winner in the principality out of such" larg-e number of competitors. These successes speak highly in favour 0: the superior instruction given in these classes.

MINISTERIAL CALL FOR THE REV. W, G. EVANS, COTTY. We understand that the above rev. gentleman, who for the past nine years has been pastor of Gilead Independent Chapel. Coit}'. has received within the last few days a unanimous call to accept the pastorate of Pentre'ygwyn and Cefn- arthen churches, with their branches in Carmar- thenshire. These are amongst the oldest Noncon- formist churches in the Principality, being formed in the year 1642. I s a preacher the rev. gentle- man is regarded very highly in this part of the county. He is, perhaps, more well-known as the author of that beautiful volume of sermons entitled. Arhry yr Areithfa." which we hope to review in our columns shortly. Should the rev. gentleman accept this call he will leave behind him many friends, the influence of an excellent character, and a chapel that will remain a lasting monument to the success of his labour amongst them.

NOTES AND NEWS FROM PONTYCYMMER. The weather has been very wet and stormy of late. Old Neptune has plied his waterpot so vigor- ously that last Monday the river Garw almost overflowed its banks. Two little boys were cross- ing the river on a plank, when one fell into the water and was carried away by the flood. Fortu- nately, he was rescued by some men belonging to the Great Western Railway. Well done! The thanks of the neighbourhood are due to-you for your noble eliorts. Opthalmos writes to say that he finds no fault with the Board as a whole, nor can anyone say a word against the worthy chairman. "Ratepayer" doc-s not enlighten anyone's darkness by saying he is a gentleman in every sense of the word. We all know that, and there is nob a more generous, noble-hearted gentleman in Glamorganshire. Look at what he did for all the chapels on his es- tate he gave them all the freeholds; besides many other kind deeds he has done. Then as to the surveyor, we have nothing against him per- sonally as a man but about him being the right man in the right place, because Ratepayer" says so, that does not prove the case true nor fecause Ratepayer" and the two that he has vented his mind to say it. We say nothing about the surveyor or his work, or if he had a dnzcn assistants if needed. But we do protest against assistants being paid by the ratepayers if the surveyor has time to work for private individuals, either as a matter of kind- ness or for pay. He is paid by the Board for his time then let him devote his time to the Board. Why did notRatepayer give a good example by putting his name to his epistle 0 fie. Mr. Rate- payer," you are preaching what you can't practice. At the next election, Ophthalmos, and Lousin, and Black Prince, and Baby Bingo are going to stand, and hope that "Ratepayer "and his friends will plump for them, as they are not common men, but office-seekers. LOUSIN.

PONTYPRIDD. HOUSE RENTS.—During the last few years the rents of houses in this town have been gradually in- creasing, but lately a large number of new dwelling houses have been erected, and it is expected that the rents will, in consequence, be materially lessened. THE RAILWAY STATION.—We understand that the Taff Vale Railway Company are making arrange- ments to remove the present station higher up than it is at prose. t to the junction where the Rhondda and Merthyr branches meet. ADDITIONAL POLICEMEN.—The Glamorganshire Police Committee will, at their next meeting of the County Council, recommend the appointment of six additional policemen for the Portypridd district. A NEW ORGANIST.—We understand that Mr. J. Shaw, the organist of St. Catherine's Church, Ponty- pridd, has resigned his position at that church, and a new organist has been appointed, but up to the present we have not been enabled to secure his name. SUDDEX DEATH.—On Friday last an old man, named Edward Roberts, a road man, 66 years of age, and residing at 19, Graigalva-road, Treforest, was found dead on the Pontypridd Common. He had only a few moments previously left the house of his daughter, who resided at Rocking Stone-terrace. On the following day an inquest was held on the body, before Mr. E. B. Reece, coroner, at the Farmers' Arms, Norton Bridge, and a verdict of "Death from natural causes was returned. THE FLOOD.—The rivers Tali and Rhondda, which meet at Pontypridd, overflowed their banks on Monday last, and flooilcJ several houses in Gas-road, Mill-street, and Jones's-court. The yard of the Butcher's Arms was also covered with water, and considerable damage was done to the main sewerage works, which are at piesent in course of construction at that point. PROPOSED BAZAAR.—We are informed that a"- rangements are now being made with a view of pro- moting a bazaar by the members of the St. David's Methodist Church and their energetic young pastor, the Rev. W. Henry, in order to reduce the heavy debt stdl remaining on the buildirg. COXSHRVATINE LECTURE.—On Tuesday evening last Mr. T. C. Mackinnon delivered an interesting political lecture at the Town-hall. The chair was occupied by Mr, L. Gordon-Lennox, J.P., who also addressed the audience. A large number of the most prominent Conservatives of the town were present, and evidently listened most attentively to the en- couraging remarks of Messrs. Mackinnon and Lennox. THE EISTEDDFOD OF 1893.—We understand that on the 17th of K ovember next a public meeting will be held at the Town-hall, for the purpose of pushing forward the movement in connection with the pro- posed National Eisteddfod, which will be bdd at Pontypridd in 1893. His Honour Judge Gwilym Williams will preside, and choruses will be rendered by the Philhurmon'c Society, led byCarado THE RATEPAYERS' ASSOCIATION.—We under- stand that preparations are now being made to resus- citate the Ratepayers' Association, which did such good work during the short period of its existenco. It would be worse than useless to re-open old sores, but our readers will be glad to know that the obstacle to the success of the association has now been effectually removed, and in all probability the association has a flourishing future before it. WOMEN'S LIBERAL ASSOCIATION.—On Thursday- evening last the first of a series of six entertainments were held in connection with the Women's Liberal Association, was held at the St. David's Hall, Ponty- pridd, Mrs. W. Spickctt in the chair. After a short address from the chair, Miss Mills favoured the com- pany with a song, "Never again," which was sweetly rendered. A recitation "The Curfew," by Miss Ethel Rowland followed, after which Miss Arnott gave a pianoforte solo. She wandered down," by Miss Pollie Rowland, was well received, and was rendered in that talented young lady's best style. The next item on the programme was a recitation by Miss Roberts, followed by a song, Ora Pro Nobis," by Miss John, and a reading selected from Mark Twain's humorous book, Innocent's Abroad," by Miss Evans. "The Better Land," sweetly rendered by Miss Mills, received a well-merited applause, as also did that delightful reading, by Miss Ethel Rowland, entitled, The Eatanswill Election." A song, The Miller and the Maid," by Miss Pollie Rowland, and a selection from Midsummer Night's Dream con- cluded a most pleasant entertainment. The attend- ance, considering the inclement state of the weather, was very large, and hopes are entertained that the Women's Liberal Association will be enabled to con- tinue a series of entertainment which has been com- menced with such a measure of success; and were the committee, of whom Miss Alice Evans is the seere- tary, to formally invite the representatives of the press to those gatherings, it would undoubtedly have a good effect. There is 110 remedy in the world equal to LEWIS'S PECTORAL BALSAM for Coughs, Colds, and allDi orders of the Lungs."—Is. lid. and 2s. 9d. per bottle. TREFOREST. THE REV. GOMER PRICS, of Ton, Ystrad, and recently of Cadoxton, occupied the pulpit at Glyntaff Church on Sunday ltst, and preach id a powerful sermon to a large congregation. A SERIOUS OVERFLOW.—For the past few years, the river Taff has not been known to contain such a large quantity of water as it did on Monday last, when the water grazed the top of the highest arch of the bridge, and it was feared that the structure would be swept away completely. The water, however, receded, and the calamity was averted. LLWYNYPIA. THE LATE FATALITY.—The remains of Harry Tibbs, grocer's assistant, who was washed away with the hone and cart while attempting to ford the swollen stream near the railway station at Llwynypia on Thursday afternoon, and those of Wm. Mason, collier 30 years of age, who plunged into the flood to try to save the haulier's life, were buried on Monday after- noon in the Trealaw Cemetery. The two funerals formed a very large procession. The Rev. Mr. Jenkins and the Rev. Mr. Davies, pastor of the English Baptist Chapel, officiated at the grave. TREORKY. PROPOSED NEW POLICE-STATION.—A petition has been numerously signed in this district in favour of the proposed erection of a new police-station in a central place in the locality, the population of which is about 11,000. It appears that the police have now to convey all persons arrested here to Treherbert, a distance of about three miles. Sections of the road leading to the. latter district are generally unfre- quented late in the evening, and the police have more than once been attacked b.y a mob while conveying prisoners to the lock-up. It is stated that the petition will be submitted to the Police Committee of the County Council. SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday morning last a collier named Thomas Jones, 31 years of age, a married man with five children, was seriously injured whilst working at the Cwmpark Colliery, by the fall of a large lump of coal. The unfortunate man had to be conveyed home by a number of fellow workmen, and was attended by Dr. James, who reported him to have received serious internal injuries. He is not expected to recover. PENTRE. WHAT DO YOU WANT?—On Monday night last an interesting ant amusing lecture entitled. "What do you want r" was delivered by the Rev. W. Parry, Pontypridd, at Zion Chapel, Pentre, to a large and appreciative audience. The rev. gentleman, in the course of his lecture, dealt principally on want of money, of amusements, of something to love, of the want to be something, and of the want of heaven. YNYSYBWL. EAST GLAMORGAN LIBERAL ASSOCIATION.— The Ynysybwl section of the East Glamorgan Lioeral Association have been considering the advisability of fornung a <1cb.ttllJ?" sOCIety for the coming winter months, and for this purpose a number of them met at Tabernacle Vestry on Tuesday, when it was determined that one should be held fortnightly at the English Wesleyan Chapel. It is to be a bilingual society, and non-political, and the following gentle- men were appointed officers :—President, the Hev. W. B. Jones, Noddfa, Laptist mini-iter vice-president, Alderman G. Jones, John Williams, cheekweigher Rhys Llewelyn, fireman and Edwin Tanner, cashier; and Mr. Edgar A. Lewispreparatory committee, Messrs. Joseph Howel's, builder; John James, lamp- m'm and J. T. Williams, cheekweigher. The first meeting will be held on fie 28th inst., when a paper will be read by Mr. Henry James, upon "Is dcnf)D,ina,- tionalism beneficial or injurious"* Mr. D. Rogers, newsagent, has been appointed to negative the paper.' ANNIVERSARY SERVICES.—The Welsh C.dvin- istic Methodist held their annual special meetings at Jerusalem Chapel on Saturday evening. Sunday and Monday. The services were very well attended, and the sermons delivered by the following rev. gentlemen were both eloquent and effective;—The Revs. W.R. Jones, Goleufryn, Caergybi; Thomas Rees, Ccfn, Merthyr Lewis Lewis, Llwynypia and Wm. Henry. Pontypridd. MARDY. IMPROVEMENTS WANTED.—The pavements of this town is in a deplorable condition. In some cases a large number of flags have been displaced, and deep ruts in the pavement make it dangerous to travel at night. We have also noticed that the lamps are not lit until a late hour, making it inDre dangerous still. It must be remembered that it is now dark at six o'clock and we sincerely hope that Mr. G. Thomas, the Local. Board member of the district, v. ill call the attention of the local authories to these matters as soon as possible. A NEW RESERVOIR.—We understand that the Pontypridd-Water Company are making arrangements for the construction of a new reservoir at this place to supply the Rhondda Vaeh and Pontypridd. Surveyors are now engaged in chaining the land. The site of the new artificial lake is about a mile to the north of the present reservoir. MORE TRAINS REQUIRED..—For some time past the inhabitants of this, the upper part of the Rhondda Vach Valley, have been seriously inconvenienced because the train which leaves Pontypridd at half-past four travels no further than Ferndale, Mardy being obliged to wait for five hours in the afternoon without any railway communication whatever, and people who are obliged to travel by the afternoon train have to walk across the mountain to Ferndale, a distance of nearly two miles. This is a most serious inconvenience to the inhabitants of a. large and rapidly-increasing town, and, undoubtedly, the Taff Vale Company should be memorialised to run another passenger train between half-past two and half-past seven. TEMPERANCE.—During the last few days the town has been thoroughly canvassed by the temuerance party, with a view of obtainirg the feeling of the in- habitants with reference to the Local Option move- ment. The result will be made known in the course of a few days. THE COAL TRADE.—We are sorry to state that during the past-two or three weeks work in the Mardy and Ferndale Pits has been extremely slack, only two turns being worked in some pits. It is rumoured that this the result of the recent dispute between the men and Mr. F. L. Davies. RHONDDA. YACH. STOPPAGE OF WORKS.—On Thursday and Monday last, owing to the heavy flood which inundated the Rhondda Valley, the colliers were unable to work the Ocean Collie-ies. and several other pits were practi- cally at a standstill owing to the want of wagons, and thousands of men were idle. YSTRAD RHONDDA. THE REFORM SOCIETY.—On Wednesday evening last a well-attended meeting of the Rhondda Reform society was held at the Sandy Bank Hotel, Mr. David Lloyd occupying the chair. The chief business of the meeting was to discuss the advisability of agitating for the erection of a new station at Ystrad, and it was decided that this should be done. This society has been the means of securing many important reforms for this district, and although it has practically been non est for some months, it is to be hoped that it will still live to do much good to the locality. PORTH. THE RECENT IFLOOD.—On Wednesday morning last the road leading from the Cymmer bridge to the Police-station was inundated by the water which found its way to Dr. Naunton Davies's house, which was considerably damaged. Several houses were also flooded in Station-street, the water in some cellars being five feet deep. The tradesmen have suffered severely, and in one case—that of Mrs. Evans, chemisL— the loss amounted to nearly £200. The Ys-iad Local Board are much to blame for the exist- ing state of things, as the matter has several times been pointed out to them, but they have taken no steps to stop the river from over running its banks. HAFOD. THE FLOOD.—The town of Hafod suffered con- siderably by the overflow of the river Rhondda on Monday. It is stated that during the last five years the river has not risen so high as it did last week. A couple of baulks, 35 feet long, belonging to Mr. W. W. Phillips, contractor, and member of the Pontypridd Local Board, were carried away. but hopes are enter- tained of their recovery. Mr." Evans, grocer, Temple- buildings, however, suffered the heaviest loss, the water finding its way to his cellar, where much of his goods were stored, and groceries to the value of £60 were destroyed.

MID-REONDDA GLEANINGS. [BY MIRZA. ] Floods, floods, are the history of the Rhondda this weeks—floods and death. In 1877, when the famous Bridgend floods occurred, a bridge was carried away, which connected Trealaw and Tony- pandy. Later on in the year there were ten weeks ceaseless rain, and on the day when the foundation stone of St. Andrew's Church was laid, clergy and laity were clad in thick waterproofs, and umbrellas were dominant while the services were carried on. Stream and rivulet, rivulet and stream, were gush- ing and running everywhere, and the mountain quarries showed a hundred cataracts. This past week has the severest record of life lost by floods for many years, for even in 1877 no lives were lost. In the papers the deaths of Harry Tibbs and his gallant would-be rescuer have been made known. I heard one man, however, state that he saw the unfortunate Tibbs, and he followed as far as he could. He also saw Mason jumping in and from what this man said, he seemed to be an expert swimmer but, alas the Rhondda is a rushing torrent in such a, flood, with so many rocks that escape is hopeless. I went up the river and it is something to be able to say that sympathy is not yet dead, for hundreds tof persons gathered round the bridge, where the trap could be seen, and where the ill- fated horse, valued ac J640, got caught between the shafts and the wooden pillars, making escape hopeless for it. Hundreds of men and women gathered round, shocked by the accident, and eager to help if it were needed and stay they did, spite of dreadful showers, while many walked up and down the banks to watch. About three- quarters of an hour afterwards Mr. William Morgan, checkweigher, Adare Colliery, saw the body. He called a tipper, and by one catching hold of the other's hand and stretching out into the river, the body of Mason was brought ashore. Sergeant Hoyle came in in a moment, and an attempt to restore consciousness was made, but poor Mason must have been dashed lifeless long before. A brave deed was the attempted rescue and, as I understand, Mason has left a heavy family, a col- lection ought to be made on behalf of his widow and children. It was Thursday, and it is supposed that it was about one o'clock, and early-closing day, that Harry Tibs attempted to ford the river for the sake of being home only about a quarter of an hour earlier. An old man—Samuels, Penygraig—was also found dead at the Great Western Colli"y. The old man was respectably clad, and the verdict of the jury was that he died from exposure. At the Naval Colliery initiative steps have been taken to start—what I have before suggested in the columns of the South Wales Star-a sort of Co-operative Building Society, where workmen can have a chance of building their own houses It is something similar in principle to the Starr- Bowkett, and is called the Perfect Thrift Society, initiated by William Horsley Harrowgyte, and by a payment of 6d. per week per share a man has a chance of obtaining a loan of ,£ 100 by ballotting for appropriation. The promoter of it is, I think, Mr. Tom Evans, checkweigher, and a few others of the Naval, and a good secretary has been ap- pointed in the person of Mr. T. D. John, school- master. It seems to have every possibility of success, and all will wish well to such a beneficial scheme. Just at the present there is a severe ouebreak of measles in the Mid-Rhondda, especially in Trealaw, and there are but few houses which are not affected. Moreover, there are two cases of typhoid in the main road, and two cases elsewhere also three cases of scarlet fever. The latter are isolated, and not epidemic.

GRAND CONCERT AT CADOXTON. It is not often that Cadoxtonians are entertained musically to such a treat as had been prepared for them at the Market Hall on Wednesday evening last by the Congregational Church of Bryn Sion. Mr. R. W. Evans, of Cardiff, made such an excel- lent substitute for Eos Morlais, who was absent through illness. Llinos Dar we had not the idea- sure of hearing before, but she came up to our expectations, and her 0, dywed i'm' awel y Nefoedd" was most pathetically rendered, and re- ceived a well merited applause. Of course, Madame Pollie Jenkins kept up her reputa- tion. as also did Mr. Gwilvm Thomas. The entertainment was very well patronised. Mrs. E. Morris, the Rectory, as usual kindly pre- sided at the piano, while the genial rector conduc- ted the proceedings, and did his duty admirably. In conclusion, let us heartily congratulate both the committee for their good selection of artistes, and the singers for their excellent singing throughout, as well as the audience for their attentive be- haviour. The following is the programme :—Piano- forte solo, Mrs. E. Morris song, Alone in the Desert," Mr. Gwilym Thomas; song, "Angus Macdonald," Madame Pollie Jenkins; song," Mona," Mr. R. W. Evans song, "0, dywed i'm awel y Nefoedd," Llinos Dar (encored) song, "The Lost Chord," Madame Pollie Jenkins (encored) song, Gogoniant i Gymru," Mr. Gwilym Thomas song, "I dreamt I dwelt I'), marble halls," Llinos Dar song, "Golden Lesson."

WENVOE. ANNIVERSARY SERVICES.—On Sunday and Mon- day of last week these annual services were held in connection with ZOitt. Calvinistic Methodist Chapel. The following ministers officiated:—Sunday, Rev. W. D. Morris (Cwmaman, Abc-rba-c), and Rev. J. Edwards, Baptist (Cardin); Monday, Revs. W. D. Walter Daniels (Penmark), and John Pugh. The father of the Cardiff Evangelistic movement, Rev. — Jones, Wesleyan (Cadoxton), having commenced the meeting through prayer at two p.m.. excellent and stirring sermons were delivered to a large audience. W c are pleased to say a few were received into tho Church membership on Sunday. Also the above Church has given a call to the Rev. Barac Rees. of Pontypridd, to become pastor (son of Alaw Ddu, Llanelly). The rev. gentleman has not yet sent in his decision.

FROM BRISTOL TO BRIDGEND WITHOUT A TICKET. A man giving the name of John Owen, was brought up for trial at the Magistrates' Clerk's office, Bridgend, on Wednesday, charged with ha, ing travelled on the Great Western Railway from Lawrence Hill (Bristol) without having paid his fare. Richard Lloyd, ticket collector, saw defendant without a ticket in the train arriving at Bridgend at 12.14. Defendant told him he was going to Tenby, and had no money, but intended paying when he got there.—He was remanded in custody till to-morrow (Saturday).

BARRY AND CADOXTON PUBLIC LIBRARIES COM- MITTEE. The above committee of the Barry and Cadoxton Local Board met at Cadoxton on Wednesday night, when there were present Messrs. J. C. Meggitt (chairman), W. Lloyd Edwards. W. Thomas (Cadox- ton). W. J. Flowers, D. Roberts, and G. F. Willett (clerk's deputy).-A letter was read from the clerk of the Glamorgan County Council, stating that in reference to the sum of £2,100 for the past year, which the Council had under the Customs and Excise Act, and the money received this year had been devoted to building schools, and the Council were prepared to aid the committee in building a school for technical instruction if a site were provided, and a contribution to the build- ing was forthcoming from local sources.-It ap- pears that at the last meeting the sum of Y.30 was voted to the sub-committee for the science and art classes, but the clerk (Mr. J. A. Hughes) re- commended that that resolution should be res- cinded, because, under the Technical Instruction Act, a penny rate can be made by the Local Board. —A motion to this effect was carried.-Several articles were ordered to be obtained for the rooms, and a number of bills were passed.-The question of revising the lists of papers and periodicals was left to the managers of each room.—The custom- ary reports were received and approved of.—The Clerk submitted an agreement between the mem- bers of the Cadoxton Recreation Rooms and the Public Libraries Committee, which was deferred for consideration until the next meeting.—Mr. W. Thomas was authorised to see Miss Bray, who supplies the papers. &c., for the reading rooms, to see if she will agree to continue to supply them until the end of the year at the same charges.—A letter was read from the editor of the Harry Dock JS'nv-t replying to a letter addressed to the com- mittee at their last meeting from the editor of the South Wales Star in reference to the reporting of meetings of the sub-committee.—No action was taken in the matter.—This was the principal busi- ness.
