There were about 60 members present, and the addresses were listened to with much interest.

Ward, C.T., in the chair. At the conclusion of the lodge business an interesting musical programme was gone through. The chief diversion of the evening was "questioning the chairman." A question was put to the chairman upon the rules of the Order, and if not answered immediately he was compelled to vacate the chair to the questioner, who was himself subjected to the same test. The proceedings terminated about 9.30, the evening having been much enjoyed. MISSION SERVICES.—On Sunday a special mission was commenced at the Barry Congregational Church by Mr. Hotchkiss, of Birmingham. The services were not so well attended as might have been expected, but the weather and aounter attractions were against a large attendance. During the week special services for women and young men were held. GrWXLYM EVANS' Quinine Bitters is purely vege- table, and certified by Analysts to be pure and harmless.

The steamer called at Barry for bunkers only, and had to sail on Saturday night under any circumstances. The coal was supplied by Messrs.

The steamer commenced load- ing at 1.30 a.m. on Saturday, and finished at 8 p.m. the same day. This is said to be the quickest work on record for such a quantity, and reflects great credit on the suppliers and Messrs. Evan Thomas, Radcliffe and Co., the local agents for the steamer.

Stokes, Holton-road, Barry Dock. It appears that a number of seafaring men entered the booth, and two of the number re- quested Stokes to box with them. Stokes consented to brave an encounter with one of the men, and whilst stripped and in the ring the man's companions loudly proclaimed that if Stokes "bested" their man "they would do for him." Stokes had the best of it, and immediately a knife was produced by the man's com- panions, wh..) threatened to stab Stokes, but they were prevented from doing any injury by those who were present. Police aid was summoned, but up to the present no arrest has been made. The men, it is -Alle-,ed, belong to Liverpool.

Mrs. Willett was walking along the garden walk of her residence at Charlotte-road, and in consequence of the rather slippery condition of the path she fell down, fractur- ing her wrist, and giving a severe shock to her system. Dr. Gore was immediately sent for, and did all that lay in his power to alleviate Mrs. Willett's sufferings.

NARROW ESCAPE OF A DIVER.—On Friday, at eleven a.m., a diver, employed from CardiS for the purpose of assisting in the operations for floating the vessel Accrington. had a very narrow escape of losing his life. It appears that the water had been pumped out, the vessel plugged, and the diver from Cardiff had been sent down on the outside to p.ttuh up the hole. To do this he had to remove one of the plugs which had been placed in the vessel for the purpose of stopping the inflow of water. As the plug was removed the suction drew in the man's arm right up to the shoulder, and he was kept tightly wedged to the ship's side. The diver telegraphed in the usual wav to those above the water, but they were unable to removo him from his perilous condition. A messenger was sent to the Penarth Dock, and Mr. Taylor, the diver attached to the latter place, immediately proceeded to the spot. Tie went under the water, and after some difficultyreleascrl the diver from his dangerous position. When brought to the surface, after having been under water for over one hour and a ha If, it is needless to state that he was in a very exhausted condition. FALL FROM A SCAFFOLD.—On Friday afternoon, about 3.20. a man named Thomas Hickle, residing at James-street, Penarth, who was employed as a labourer at the new Hall which is being erected for Messrs. Andrews and Sons, met with a frightful accident. It appears that he had just carried a load of material up the ladder, and as he was stepping from the ladder on to the scaffold fell back on to the road, a distance of about 40ft. A man working on the scaffold neither saw nor heard the man fall, and nothing was known of it until a little girl, who saw him fall from a. distance, ran into the yard and told the men of what had happened. Dr. Moynan was immediately in attendance, and ordered the man's removal to the Infirmany. The man was frightfully braised, and his hip bone was fractured. Thomas Bickle, of James-at.. Penarth, a labourer in the employ of Mr. Solomon Andrews, who fell from a scaffold at Peuarth on Fri- day morning, and was afterwards conveyed to the Cardiff Infirmary, died at the institution on Monday evening, the immediate cause of death being ex- haustion, consequent upon the injuries he sustained.
