GRIFFITHS, B. G. LIVER PILLS Why do you sufier from Indigestion Why do you suffer from Bile w by do you suffer from Depression of Spirits ? Why do yen sutter from Pains between the Shoulder Blades, Wind in the Stomach, Nasty Taste in your Mouth in the Morning, Constipation, Bilious Headaches, Loss of Appetite, and Nervous Affections ? I The whole of the above symptoms are caused by a sluggish and torpid liver, and as a very large number I of adults suffer to a more or less extent from a sluggish liver, it becomes to the public generally a matter of great necessity that we ehould know of some medicine which, by removing the cause, will also remove the effects produced by a slow or torpid liver. It would be necessary that such a medicine would have the power of gently stimulating the liver, opening its clogged passages, and promoting the secretion of healthy bile All those properties are to be found in GRIFFITHS' B. G. LI\ ER PILLS, which are prepared from purely vegetable ingredients. They will gently regulate the bowels, stimulate the liver, strengthen the stomach, and give tone and vigour to the digestive organs. The following is one of numerous Testimonials that the Proprietor has received as to their efficacy from Mr. W. Williams, Boot Manufacturer, Griffiths Town Pontypool:— ":8ear Sir,—Having suffered from the effect of sluggish liver for many years with pains between the shoulder blades, bile, drowsiness, and indigestion, and having tried several doctors anl many different kinds of medicine without avail. I was at last persuaded to take some of your B. G. LIYEn PILLS, and am happy to say that they have done me more good than any- thing I have yet taken. I have had great pleasure iu recommending them to several of my friends who have Buffered from the same complaints, and they have found them to be almost invaluable.—I beg to remain, dear sir, yours sincerely, "W. WILLIAMS." On account of their mild, aperient, and yet meet effectual action, they are found to make a wonderfully cacceesful Family Pill. PKErAltED (ISIY TV7 ( B. GRIFFITHS.

PONTYPRIDD AND RHONDDA VALLEYS…
PONTYPRIDD AND RHONDDA VALLEYS LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASSOCIATION, ANNUAL BANQUET. On Friday last the annual banquet of the Pontypridd and Rhondda Valleys Licensed Vic tuallers' Association took place at the But- chers' Arms, Pontypridd, when a goodly num- ber of the members presented themselves, and, under the presidency of Mr. Moses llees, did full justice to the good things provided by Host Tre- harne. Amongst others present we noticed Mr. James Phillips (solicitor), Mr. Evan Llewellyn (Darwonno), Messrs. A. Parfitt (secretary), D. Leyshon, P. Gowan. M. Hague, H. L. Grover, John Thomas, J. Norman, D. Thomas (Pentre), J. F. Machine, G. Hughes (Smith Walcx Daily A>«v), Evan R. Evans (South 11 "a/.at Star), F. J. Harries (Pontypridd Chronicle). R. 1. Jenkin ((rla-morgan Free. Pre**), George Harry (Herald), Dan Thomas (Sporting Life), &c.. kc. After the dinner the president of the association vacated the chair, and his place was taken by Mr. J. F. Maclune, who proposed the toasts of The Queen" and The Rest of the Royal Family," which were loyally honoured. Mr. John Evans (Tonypandy) then entertained the company with a song, and he was followed by Mr. Thomas Rees (Aberaman), who gave a good rendition of the old Welsh song, entitled Y Gwenith Gwyn." Mr. Thomas Morris, in proposing the toast of The Pontypridd and Rhondda Valleys Licensed Victuallers' Association." said the association em- braced a very large and growing district; but they were united in carryingout their motto, Defence, not defiance." (Cheers.) What they wanted mostly to make such an association a success was a goodly number of good officers, especially president and secretary. And in their case, they were to be congratulated on having such an energetic secre- tary as Mr. Parfitt had proved himself to be. He had already done good work for the society, and would, no doubt, be able to do much more. Speak- ing personally, he might say that he had retired from the trade, and had left behind him the arduous duties connected with the management of a public-house but wherever he met anyone who had been in the trade, he had always a good word for Parfitt. (Applause.) He would couple with the toast the names of the chairman and the vice- chairman, Messrs. Moses Rees and Joha Thomas. The toast having been drunk, Mr. George Lucas favoured the company with a song. after which Mr. Rees, the president of the association, responded to the toast, and said he was glad to be able to tell them that the association had largely increased in number during his term of office. (Hear, hear.) Mr. John Thomas, who also responded, said the financial state of the society was in a very good condition. At the beginning of the year they had a balance of £24 in hand, but at the end they had a sum of £39. (Hear, hear.) He was glad to be able to say that last year's president had been able to enrol more members than any of his predecessors, and he only hoped that he (Mr. Thomas) would be able to be as successful as Mr. Rees had been. During the last year the work of the association had been carried on by but a few of the members, and they should remember that they were now living in very critical times, perhaps the most critical in the history of the trade, and it was the duty of every member to do his best to further the interest of the trade. (Hear, hear.) Since the Sharpe v. Wakefield precedent had been laid down that licensed victuallers were shot at from all corners, and it behoved them to be on the alert, and to protect themselves. He had no doubt that if they made a determined stand they would ultimately come out victorious. (Cheers.) In conclusion, he said he hoped the association would go on flourishing, and that during his tenure of office he would obtain the co-operation of all the members especially that of their excellent secre- tary, Mr. Parfitt. Mr. Parfitt then read letters of apology for absence from Taliesin Morgan. Robert Thomas (solicitor). S. Cobb (London and Provincial Bank), D. W. Davies, J.P., Tonypandy, L.G.Lenox, J.P., Ynysyngharad, and Messrs. Salt and Co., London, the latter coi.taining a cheque for £10. The next toast, i; The Licensed Victuallers' De- fence League," was proposed by Mr. A. Parfitt, and in doing so he deprecated the condemnation of the blue" ns a slight upon the working classes. When Mr. Matthews was superintendent of police he used to stamp the blue as one-third of a quart, but now it was put away altogether in the county, although he understood that in Cardiff it was still used. The League, he said, had done much in trying to retain the" blue." They had nlso used their utmost endeavours to repeat the Welsh Sunday Closing Act, but had failed. Con- tinuing, he said he was proud of the determined stand which Mr. Stipendiary North had made at Merthyr when he refused to allow the temperance party to tender a petition, for why should memorials be produced in a public-house case more than in other cases. (Hear, hear.) He would couple with the toast the name of Mr. Dan Thomas, of Merthyr. (Loud applause). The toast was then drunk with musical honours. Out in the Green Fields" was next nicely rendered by Mr. Thomas Rees, Aberaman. Mr. Dan Thomas, in responding to the toast, said that the League had done much for the cause of the licensed victuallers. It was their duty to watch the proceedings of the temperance party in Parliament, and if their interest had not been watched by these gentlemen they would be in a sad predicament indeed. Proceeding, Mr. Thomas urged the licensed victuallers to obtain more re- presentatives on the County Council, and said that with unity they could easily oust their opponents in the next election, and return more members than they thought of. who would be looking after their interests. If they made up their mind to do this the Leauge would send men down to help them and supply them with any amount of election literature. (Cheers.) The Local Veto Bill wojid have been an accomplised fact had it not been for the perseverance of the League, for Mr. Bowen Rowlands used every tactic to get it passed. Mr. Tom Edwards also responded. Mr. Thomas Rees proposed the Trade of the District," and commented upon the growing pros- perity of the town of Pontypridd. Referring to the sliding scale, which probably would go out of existence at the end of the present year, Mr. Rees said he hoped that some arrangement would be came to between masters and men as would stop a strike. He hoped, however, that an amicable arrangement would be arrived at, and the pros- perity which they had enjoyed for the past few j years would continue. (Cheers.) Songs were then rendered by Messrs. W. Lloyd, Tonypandy, and T. Edwards, Ynysybwl, after which Mr. James Phillips responded to the toast. After thanking the company for the hearty manner in which they had honoured the toast, he went on to say that the district was etill prospering, and that the applications for dwelling-houses were far beyond the supply, yet houses were being erected all over the district. For instance, there were the rising towns of Aberdare Junction, Cil- fynydd, and Ynysybwl, which were unknown a few years ago, teeming with a population con- tinually increasing. (Hear, hear.) The Rhondda Valley had a population of nearly 100,000. In re- ference to what Mr. Rees had said regarding the Sliding-scale, he hoped that the right counsel would prevail, and that more prosperous times were in store for them. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Tom Edwards next proposed The Local Governing Bodies," and said the town owed a great deal of its prosperity to gentlemen who had sacri- ficed their time to the governing of the town. The members of the different Boards had done their best to look after the sanitary condition of Ponty- pridd and the district. (Cheers.) Mr. D. Leyshon responded, and said that during the 17 years he had been on the Local Board he had always tried to do his very beet in the interest of the ratepayers. (Applause.) They had been told that the rents of the houses in the town were high, but they should remember that the times were good, and that everybody tried to share the prosperity of the coal trade. (Hear, hear.) He, personally, took considerable interest in the wel- fare, and especially iu the housing, of the work- ing classes, and hoped to live long to do good. (Loud cheers,) They were looking forward to the time when the town would be incorporated, and if they succeeded in obtaining a charter they would have the sole control of the town. The Local Board had done and were doing much to improve the town, but when they were incor- porated Vuey would be able to do bettor. (AVo plause.) ¡ Major H. L. Grover followed with a most amus- ing song. entitled" We'll bang his old body," after which Mr. Dan Thomas proposed the health of The Visitors and the Kindred Societies," coupling with the toast the names of Messrs. Prickett and j Burdock, of Cardiff. These gentlemen having suitably responded, the Chairman proposed the health of The Officers of the Society, and spoke in most eulogistic terms of the services of Mr. Parfitt. the secretary and Mr. W. John, the treasurer. The toast was duly honoured, fiud responded to by the gentlemen named. The toasts of ;i The Press," The Chair- man," Vice-Chairman," and Host and Hostess were also duly honoured.

PROPOSED COTTAGE HOSPITAL…
PROPOSED COTTAGE HOSPITAL FOR PONTYPRIDD, A DEPUTATION MEETS MR. L. G. LENOX, J.P. On Saturday afternoon a representative deputa- tion of the various trade societies of Pontyprièd waited upon Mr. G. Lenox, J.P., Ynysyngharad. for the purpose, of ascertaining his view with reference to the proposed erection of a cottaire hospital at Pontypridd. The deputation, which consisted of Messrs. Thomas Steele and Gwilvm John (carpenters), G. Gaze and Thomas Jenkins (chainmakers). William Jones and David Williams (engineers), W. G. Williams, Edward Morgan, Thomas Lloyd. Charles Abblart, and W. Hoard (masons), Lot Talbot, and Henry Williams (painters), William Stonehewer and Howel Jones (plasterers), John Allen (tailor), and J. W. John and Isaac Liles (railway men), was introduced by Mr. W. Jones, manager of the water works, who said that they represented the various trade societies of the town, and had pledged themselves to do all they could to further this good move- ment. He need not point out the desirability of the establishment of such an institution. The population of the town was considerably increas- ing, and dangerous occupations were becoming the order of the day, and they thought the time had fully arrived for them to move in the matter. They simply proposed erecting a cottage hospital at first, but which might in the course of time grow to be a large infirmary. He need only refer to the deplorable accident which occurrad at the Pontypridd station, where so many passengers were obliged to be taken to the workhouse, to I show the urgent necessity of an institution such as was contemplated, and they had come to ask him, as a gentleman who had taken a prominent part in all public movements of the kind in the town, for his assistance in promoting this good object. They felt that they must have the co- operation of men like him before they could hope to succeed. They had not come there to suggest anything, but to secure his (Mr. Lenox's) guidance in the matter, and to know what encourgemement he could give them in the furtherance of the same. Mr. Lenox, after pointing out the great necessity of unity in a matter of that kind, pro- ceeded to say that he thought the public of Ponty- pridd and district could if they wished do more than they had done in furthering a matter of that kind. He had noticed that there was a tendency among them of taking up matters warmly, but afterwards they cooled down and expected outside friends to finish their work. The working com- munity were wealthy enough to support themselves and to assist their weaker brethren, and this movement could be very easily carried out if it had the warm support and sympathy of the work- ing classes, not so much in obtaining money to erect a hospital, but also to support the same by annual subscriptions, for it should be clearly understood that substantial annual subscriptions should be obtained, and a considerable income guaranteed. That could be easily done by obtain- ing the support of the colliers and the workmen of the different establishments, by getting a small amount kept back from their weekly or monthly earnings. If that was done he could see no difficulty in the way. Continuing, Mr. Lenox said he should like to see the hospital erected in a central and healthy position. The side of the common would be a very healthy spot, and would be easy of access not only to the inhabitants of the town but also to those of Cilfynydd and Treforest, After that they should consider the advisability of obtaining the services of a good architect ex- perienced in the erection of such buildings to draw out the plans, and he would advise the committee not to pledge themselves to support the claims of any local man or any other man, but to give a chance by advertising for architects who had drawn out plans for similar buildings, and he did not think they could do better than to engage the man who would be selected to draw out the plans of the Porth and Ystrad Cottage Hospitals. Hav- ing referred to the manner in which the Porth- cawl Rest had been erected, the centre of which he said had first been built, and that the wings had afterwards been added, and the plan had been designed so that the wings when added would appear to have been a part of the original building. At first they would not require a large building at Pontypridd-nbout six beds—but as the district would increase they would have to enlarge it, and therefore he advised them to follow the same plan as the Porthcawl committee, and to obtain sufficient land for that purpose at once. With reference to the expense, he thought that if they estimated £1 per week for each bed it would be sufficient, and that would require an income of about £300 per annum for six beds, and they should bear in mind that this amount would be required whether the beds would be occupied or not, although in a district like Pontypridd they had no ground to suppose that one out of the six would be empty for a day. In order to erect the building they should raise at least £] ,000. And he did not see that there would be any great difficulty in their way as they ought to obtain the support of all, irrespective of politics or creed. He had no doubt that the working classes would give good donations towards the erection, yet £1,000 was a sum which they could not raise in a hurry. In conclusion, he would advise them to call a public meeting at an early date, and appoint a small committee to carry on the work. The Town-hall, he understood, was engaged for every evening this year. Mr. W. Jones In that case we could call a public meeting at the vestry of one of the p'aces of worship, Mr. Lenox then proceeded to name the collieries and other works from which support might be expected, and amongst others he mentioned the Great^Vestern Colliery, the Albion Colliery, the Maritime Colliery, the Ynysybwl Collieries, the Dowlais Works Collieries at the Aberdare Junction, the two Llantwit Collieries, the Penrhiw Colliery, the Chain Works, the Steel Works, and the Tin- plate Works. Mr. J. W. John We should obtain the support of all the works within the proposed enlarged district, ° Mr. W. Jones And we can also expect to get a vote or a guarantee of an yearly sum from the different trade societies of the town. Mr. Lenox: There is no doubt that £500 could easily be obtained per annum, without calculating say one hundred guineas from the gentry of the district. That will be certainly enough to support a small hospital, and the more good the institution will do the more support we can expect; but I have been told that there is a disinclination on the part of the working classes to send their patients to institutions of the kind. Mr. William Jones replied that perhaps that might be the case with minor cases, but when serious accidents occurred he did not believe the argument would hold good.' Mr. Lenox then went on to say that he would try and obtain as much information as possible about similar institutions, and hoped that in the meantime a public meeting would be called. Mr. W. Jones said he should be pleased to see to that, and took it for granted that Mr. Lenox would preside at the same. Mr. Lenox consented, and thereupon a hearty voteoi tnanks was accorded to the genial squire of Ynysyngharad for the kind manner in which he had met the deputation and listened to their application, and the deputation withdrew.
THE PRINCIPALSHIP OF SWANSEA…
THE PRINCIPALSHIP OF SWANSEA TRAINING COLLEGE. MR. TOM JOHN A CANDIDATE. We are informed upon the very best authority that Mr. Tom John, headmaster of the Llwynypia School, and the president of the Rhondda Valley Teachers' Association, is a candidate for the principalship of the Swansea Training College. vacated by the retirement of Mr. D. Williams. It would be superfluous to quote the merits of Mr. John, but undoubtedly the great work which he has done for education in the Principality, together with the fact that his candidature is supported by such gentlemen as Principal Viriamu Jones, Cardiff, and Mr. W. Edwards, H.M. Inspector of Schools, will weigh in his favour when the appointment is made.

THE LLWYXYPIA SCHOOLS.
THE LLWYXYPIA SCHOOLS. WILL THEY BE CLOSED ? At the Ystradyfodwg School Board, on Monday last, Mr. W. W. Hood in the chair, the clerk (Mr. W. G. Howells) reported that he had read the deeds, and c-ime to the conclusion that the trustees could not sell the buildings to the Board, but that they could transfer them gratis. Subsequently he had an interview with Mr. Hood, one of the trustees, and he advised him to see a solicitor on the matter. He did so, and the solicitor confirmed his opinion. When Mr. Hood heard this he said he would rather close the schools than transfer them gratis to the Board. Consequently they both went to see the officials of the Education Depart- ment, who they thought might suggest some way out of the difficulty. The officials of the depart- ment aiso said that they must be transferred gratis, and said that since 1872 no school had been transferred to a Board for which a consideration had been received. The Clerk further reported that he had since seen Mr. Hood and he expressed a desire that the Board should appoint a special date for the holding of a conference to discuss the matter. It was then decided that the Board should hold a special meeting on Monday next to meet Mr. Hood, and thoroughly thrash out the question. At the same meeting it was reported that no such difficulty existed with reference to the Cwmpark Schools, and that the same would be transferred on the payment of a certain sum down and an annual rental of £6 per annum.
YSTRADYFODWG SCHOOL BOAHD.
YSTRADYFODWG SCHOOL BOAHD. The ordinary monthly meeting of the Ystrady- fodwg School Board was held at the Board Offices, Pentre, on Monday last, Mr. W. W. Hood in the chair. There were also present—Alderman W- Jenkins, Rev. W. Jones, Messrs. A. L. Lewis, Morgan Davies, Daniel Thomas, H. S. WTilliam9t and W. G. Howells (clerk).—The Clerk reported that he had been summoned to appear before the county-court to answer a claim of 15s., the value of a mantle and cap which a girl lost at Penygraig" school. (Laughter.)—It was decided to appoint My Leyshon, solicitor, to defend the case.—A letter was read from Mr. W. Richards, reporter to the Smith II ale* 1 ) :ilj > ^Seicx, Treorky, saying that he had been an agent to the Kent Fire insurance Company, and asking the Board to insure their property in that society.—On the motion of lVIr. W. Jenkins, it was decided that, should the Board require to insure any property in future, that this should be done in the office for which Mr. Richards was agent.—A letter was read stating that Mr. and Mrs. Kirkhouse had entertained the children of Treforest Schools to tea on the loth of Septem- ber, and on the motion of the chairman, seconded by Alderman W. Jenkins, a hearty vote of thanks was accorded to the generous- lady and gentleman. — It was reported that H.M. Inspector's report of the Pentre School had been received, and that the grant earned amounted to ;&580. The highest variable and fixed grants had been earned in the Girls' Mid Infants Department, but the results of the Boys School and the pupil teachers' examina- tions were not satisfactory. There had been re- ceived three applications for the head-mistress- ship of the Mardy Schools, and it was decided to appoint Miss Annie Davies, of Merthyr, to the vacancy.—Mr. John Morgan was appointed head- master of the Cwmpark Schools at a salary of £ 120,- and Miss M. J. Morgan, head-mistress of the same school at a salary of £80 plus grant. Several other minor appointments to the same school were made.—It was reported that 21 teachers had sat for the Queen's scholarship examinations, but only ten had passed, and it was decided that should the ten who failed wish to act as assistants, and be re-cngaged for twelve months, that this should be dcme. Mr. Morgan Davies called attention to the crowded state of the Mardy Schools, and suggested that a room be rented in order that the great pressure now felt be relieved, and it was decided that Mr. Davies, together with the clerk and a member of the Building Com- mittee, make such arrangements as were necessary. —The Clerk reported that he had received an amended tender for the constructions of additions to the Tylorstown Schools, offering to do the work for £2.450. The architect's estimate was, however, £ 1,768—nearly £700 lower than the tender sub- mitted and on the motion of the Chairman, it was decided to defer the matter for a time.-—A report was received, stating that the attendance officer's work was very satisfactorily done, and that the attendance at the schools showed a considerable increase. (Hear, hear.)—The Finance Committee recommended the payment of bills amounting to £4.05ô 8s. 4d. It was also reported that the balance in hand after that sum had been paid would be £ 1.948 15s. 2d. and that during the past- month £1.631 had been paid on account of the loan and :£ 706 8s. to the Llanwonno School Board, which caused the balance to be so low.—The Clerk was instructed to write to the London and South Wales Colliery Company and to Messrs. Cory Bros, pointing out that the last amount of poundage had not been paid, and requesting those companies to remit the same at an early date.—The report of the Moral and Religious Instruction Committee was also read and adopted.
MID-RHONDDA CLEAVINGS.
MID-RHONDDA CLEAVINGS. [BY MIRZA.] Mabon's Day has gone once more. At Llwynypia Independent Chapel anniversary services were held, Miss Davies, the evangelist, be':ng one of those who preached. But this week I am singling out this church because of its zeal under great difficulties. The chapel was built in 1875, during the good times, when materials were dear, at the high cost of £2,700, and when it was anticipated that there would be much building around it. But it is only now that the expected building is going on, and after the courageous fight that°the pastor, the Rev. T. G. Jenkyn, has made in the dismal past, I am glad that a rift should appear in the cloud. Last year they collected no less than £500, of which only £187 was available for the reduction of the debt. They have £5 3s. 8d. ground rent to pay. Mr. Jenkyn has one of the best lieutenants in the person of Mr. David Jones, relieving officer, the secretary of the church-—a man of indomitable spirit, and with Mark Tapley's geniality. When we bear in mind that there is only a membership of 247. and that all the mem- bers and congregation, with one or two exceptions, are workmen (I nearly said ordinary workmen), their pluck is evident. And it is not only in money matters, but its Sunday school, Gymanfa, and other records are consistently good. This subject brings home the fact that the Non- conformists are labouring under grave disadvan- tages, which they bravely and cheerfully face, in building their places of worship. The Church people have help from the Ecclesiastical Commis- sioners, either in the form of a building grant or otherwise, under advantageous terms. The Non- conformists, on the other hand, have recourse to the expensive method of a borrowing fund, paying, as a rule, the full 5 per cent. If it were possible to create a sort of reserve fund, from which money could be borrowed at a small interest, repayable, principal and interest, in a certain number of years, just as public bodies do from the Public Loan Commissioners, then a great boon would be conferred on those Churches struggling against a burden of debt; or if this principle were carried out so as to meet portions of chapel debts respec- tively, it would be a relief. Guy Fawkes night has passed, happily, with- out accident. In the current Strand Maqazine it is said that £10,0000 is spent every 5th of Novem- ber. Judging from the amount spent in Mid- Rhondda, if other districts contribute to an equal degree, the amount is low enough. Trealaw mountain particularly, and all around, had bon- fires, while crack, boom, fizz, were the order of the evening. This year there was an improvement in one respect—the streets were freer from them. Last year it was positively dangerous to walk about. The measles epidemic is not abating in TrealaW, and it is feared that Tonypandy is in for it again, there being very many cases therein. Several deaths occurred in Trealaw. Scarlatina has also broken out in some of the houses, but not in an epidemic form. It is to be feared that what Dr. James pointed out some years a^O, it Ferndalc, is still too true. In substance Dr. James condemned prayer meetings held in infected hawses where there was a little dead ope, those meetiriga peculiar to Wales known as gwyl-nos." Moreover. rid pointed out that Welsh parents seem to have the idea that all children are to have measles and scarlatina some time or other, and that. therefore, the sooner they get it the better, to have it over. The result of this fatalism is, that parents are not so careful as they might be to prevent their children from going to infected places. This fatalism is still existent, and what surprises me is this, that seeing what a strong hold the epidemic has im the locality, that the Local Board of Health has not seen fit to issue instructions and disinfectants in the locality. With Tonypandy and Penygraig likely to follow suit, this ought to be done. As for Ciydach Vale of recent years, measles, like the poor, has been always with them.1
