The South Wales Star

Llancar- fan, lives Mrs. Jane Price, who is over 80 years of age. and the mother of 25 children. She is as nimble as a young woman of 21, and quite as affable, if not as winsome. Married couples devoid of progeny would do well to pay a visit to Xilancarfan, and stay a chort time there. dc Mrs. Hannah Lewis, of Moulton—an old dame, whose name has never appeared in print before- has celebrated her 68 th year. She lays claim to a mother-ship of IS children, some of whom are doing well in America, whilst others live in York- shire and Glamorganshire. The old lady is hale and hearty, hailed originally from Bridgend, and never wore whiskers. x.-$ A local clergyman assures me that marriages in this district are looking up. So much the better- for his pocket. But is it true that an individual residing at Cadoxton claims to have established a record with regard to matrimony. He says he only met a young lady on Friday last, and on Sunday the banns were up for their marriage. I think this appropriates the Banbury. -s '? -O Is it a sign of trade. One day this week I saw two brothers-in-law walking arm-in-arm in Vere- street. » o o o Is it true that a certain personage in addressing an English and Welsh audience last week«addressed them solely as "my dear Welsh friends. V How exceedingly anxious as to the success of anything are some people when it is likely to affect their own pockets, I am told that the petition against, the Local Veto Bill has been pushed in every direction by certain individuals. May 1 venture to suggest that there would have been. more than a few coppers in the collecting boxes for the Nursing Association if the same alacrity had been shown in passing them round. '> I am told that someone in a cart endeavoured to knock down a tree on Weston-hill. He did n,ot succeed, and was nearly put up a tree himself. sk The Star fairly Knocked 'em in the Holton- road last week. It was the only paper that had the full account of the withdrawal of the opposi- tion to the Barry Bill. £ A short time ago I called attention to the need of a supply of for one of the public lamps near the Common. I am pleased to say that all com- plaints in that direction have ceased, and there is now more light upon the subject. Perhaps the supply has been cut off from elsewhere. I have heard a hint to that effect. I was amused at the arguments brought for- ward at the last Burial Board election. One gentle- man was elected because hp had three years ex- perience, and another was thrown out because he had the same.

The Barr«-?ind District Nursing Association has during tiss. 'pa8t year done a good work. As Dr. Neale said. the working classes in our district do not supg'Srt it as well as'they should. ■* One ftsipon why this ha-s been so may be taken as the "wry depressedccndition of trade. That. how- ever, is now, I trust, passing away, and I hope during- the coming year the working men of the district will prove their mettle.

Several marriages of residents in Vere-street will take place at Easter. & Is it a fact that the residents of Church-road, Cadoxton, have lately been on the move ? I am told that within the past few weeks no less than seven families have changed houses, and only one has left the street. Will the secretaries of our local cricket clubs please forward as early as possible their fixtures for the coming season. Our Wicket-keeper will attend to them. v Is it true that a gentleman sold two houses on Friday last upon the strength of the tip given by the Star of the passing of the Barry Bill ? If so, I would remind him that our offices are at Vere- street. X & I am told that n. certain gentleman in this neighbourhood asserts that it is impossible to get pure Welsh here. He has to get his supply from Cardiganshire. Now that the Local Board has decided to teach Welsh he will be able to obtain the genuine article a little nearer home. I understand that Mr. Arthur Thomas, late accountant of the South Wales Star, is about to proceed to Buenos Ayres as foreign agent for Messrs. Cory Brothers, Cardiff. Mr. Thomas is a native of Carmarthen, and it is whispered to me that he will take with him a wife from Vere-street. I wish him every happiness and prosperity in his new sphere of labour, feeling sure that ihis in- tegrity will receive its due reward. & Who was the young man who joined the Volun- teers. in order to be present at the supper last week ? Who were those, however, who looked down with hungry eyes from above ? .t: Box hats are becoming fashionable amongst young Barry just now. Who were the young people sweethearting in Water's-lane, Bonvilstone, on Saturday last ? They had better speak more quietly in future. Even if they were talking about lambs, that is no reason why they should let all the world know it. # What has become of the preserver of the peace, -who once frequented Bonvilstone ? It is because his attraction has been removed ? A A friend calls my attention to what he thinks is an increase of drunkenness at Barry. On Sunday as people wended their ways to worship, men were seen lying- down helplessly the worse for drink. The Religious Editor would like to know where the drink was procured 2 Young sweethearting couples, who go into the 'f'I trimmers' compartments for the purpose of having cl a spoon, should wait until the trains have got out of the station before they commence. I hear that six lots of new carriages have been built for the Barry Railway Company, and that they are to be used in a few months to run through to Cardiff. It is only a rumour, mind A new siding is being constructed at Wenvoe. One of our leading local gentlemen is said to have mado up his mind to leave Barry and go to Cardiff to reside. I hope this isi not true, 'as too many persons who are connected with the district live out of it already. ■'S Dr. Neale was unable to deliver his promised paper to the Congregational Improvement Class on Wednesday evening last. The Rav. J. Price will shortly be married. I hope the rev. gentleman and his future wife will he spared to enjoy a happy and prosperous life.

Williams, Mr. Benjamin Lewis, and the Clerk (Mr. J. Arthur Hughes). The resignation of the collector, Mr. C. Howe, was considered, and it was decided that the committee should recommend the Local Board to appoint a collector who should devote the whole of his time to the Board's work.

A special meeting of the Board will be held on the 21st inst., at which the matter will be considered, as the committee recommend that the vacancy be filled as soon as possible. AMALGAMATED SOCIETY OF RAILWAY SERVANTS. Mr. Edward Davies, managing director of the Barry Company, has again generously forwarded a donabion of five guineas to the Orphan Funds of tho Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants. NEIGHBOURS AT BARRY DOCK. On Saturday night an assault was committed at Regent-street, Barry Dock. It appears from the story told by Mrs. Emily Pope at the Penarth Police-court on Monday morning that she was returning to her house, after taking out some work, when defendant, who resided next door, came out and assaulted her.—The magistrates granted a summons for the case to be heard at the Barry Dock Police-Court where defendant was fined 5s- and costs. ALL ABOUT A SEAMAN'S BAG. At the Penarth Police Court on Monday (before Mr. Pyke Thompson and Major Thornley) Sidney Cruramey and Peter Ayle3, seamen, were charged with stealing a bag of clothes and a pair of boots, altogether value £ 3 10s. Od., the property of Richard Vasseh, a coloured seaman, on the 9th inst.—Prosecutor stated that he left the things by the Seamen's Institute, Barry Dock, on the 9th inst., and then he went towards the dock. When about 100 yards away he saw the prisoners take the bag, and walk away.—Thomas Humble, who took the bag at prisoners' instructions to the residence of Birchill, a boarding-house keeper, proved taking the bag as instructed. When he saw Birchill, who promised to given him 6d. when he saw the man who belonged to the bag.—Mrs. Parkman, wife of David Parkman, said on the day in question defendants came to her and asked if she could lodge them there. She replied tha.t she could not, and they asked if she would allow them to leave tho bag there if they gave her a shilling. She said no, and threw the bag out of the house. She believed the prisoners then went to the next house.—James Birchell, 4, Gueret-street, Barry Dock, said Ayles, one of the prisoners, was lodging with him on Thursday last. He cams to the Shipping Office to witness, and told him two men had gone up to his house with a bag. He cautioned him against having anything to do with the bag, as he did not believe it belonged to them. He said the man Crummey wanted him to carry it up to his (witness's) house, and he refused. On his way back to the house he met Humble, and had a conversation with him, and when he got home he saw Crummey walking up and down. He said, I've brought my bag up. I suppose you'll take me in." When they got inside Crummey said, New, I want 5s., as I have brought my bag." Witness, when he saw the bag and boots, told him the best thing he could do was to clear away altogether. Prisoner seemed loathe to go, but witness pushed him out and put the bag out after him. The other prisoner had been staying with him for about a fortnight, and as far as he knew the prisoners were strangers.—Police-con- stable Stephen Davies gave evidence as to the arrest ef the prisoners. When he charged them, Crummey said he knew nothing about it. Ayles said Crummey instructed him to take the bag, and ha refused and told him Humble would be the man to do it.—The case against Ayles was dismissed, and Crummey, who pleaded guilty, was sentenced to two months'imprisonment with hard labour. ALLEGED SAVAGE ASSAULT AT BARRY DOCK. At the Penarth Police-court on Monday John Morris, of Barry Dock, was charged with assault- ing Kate Hallard on the previous day at Barry Dock.—Kate Hallard, prosecutrix, wife of Henry Hallard, of Gueret-street, Barry Dock, said prisoner went to her house on Sunday between a quarter and half-past four.

When she ordered prisoner out he struck her with his fist in the face. Ha knocked her against the door. He then took up some glasses from the sideboard and threw at her. She ran into the scullery out of his way. He went to the front door and took up the scraper, came back into the kitchen with it, and was going to throw it at her, but Joyce took it away. Prisoner then left the house, and carrie back in about two minutes with something behind his back in his right hand. He came to thfe scullery door and threw it at her. hitting her on the head. She then found it was one of her own glass baskets.

It is no exaggeration to say that the most success- ful concert ever held in the district came off at the Market Hall on Saturday evening last, when the building was literally crammed. The artists were :—Soprano, Miss Emily Francis, Penarth (winner of soprano solo at the National Eisteddfod Rhyl, 1892) contralto, Miss G. Forster, Penygraig; tenor, Mr. William Williams (Gwilym Taf), Maes- teg, winner of tenor solo at the National Eistedd- fod Rhyl, 1892: baritone, Mr. Ivor Foster, Peny- graig bass, Mr. D. Chubb, Llantwit-Vardre penillion singer, Eos Dar, Maerdy harpist, Mr. JohnBryant, Llantwit- Vardre; pianist, Miss M. James, Pwllyfelin. The Chairman, Mr. D. T. Alexander, Bryneithen, Dynas Powis, in a grand opening speech, said it gave him great pleasure to preside that evening although he was a Church- man he was always ready and willing to assist in any way he could any good object, and was very pleased to learn that the promoters were about to erect a new chapel at a cost of £1,500 to accommo- date 800 people, and wished them every success. Part of the programme was opened with a bril- liantly executed pianoforte solo by Miss James, who proved herself to be a talented exacutante. Mr. D. Chubb's rendering of ''Longshoreman" was excellent. The duet. Sailors' Sighs," by Mr. J.Foster and Miss G-. Foster was much apprecin,ted. by the audience, ,vho testified their approval by demanding an encore. Mr. Gwilym Taffi was heard to excellent advantage in Steven's popular song, The Holy City." Mr. Francis charmed her hearers by her exquisite rendering of Sochella's song. "Do as they do in England." Miss Francis was heard to equal advantage in Picco'limini's song, Ora Pro Nobis." All her contributions were received with acclamation. Gwilym TaE and Mr. D. Chubb participated in the duet, Mae Cymru'n barod," which was admirably rendered, the voices blending to perfectiou. Odoardo Barr's song, Grinding Light," was admirably sung by Miss Foster. Barri's beautiful trio, Fair Flora Decks," received a perfect interpreta- tion by Miss Foster, Mr. Foster, and Gwilym Taff. The Old Brigade," by Mr. Foster, was rendered on this occasion in a manner calculated to fully maintain his reputation. The pennillion singer, Eos Dar. as usual, met with very warm receptions each time he appeared, and he performed his parts in excellent style. The selections on the harp by Mr. Bryant were very amusing-, and fairly brought down the house. Gwilym Taf won hearty plaudits by his rendering of Llam y Cariadau"—a composition of the late Mr. R. S. Hughes, whose lamented death is a dist-nct loss to Welsh minstrelsy. Mr. J. E. Rees, Barry Schools, at this stage addressed a few well-chosen remarks to the audience on tho loss Welshmen has sustained through the death of one of most able musicians. He said that Mr. Hughes was a personal friend of his, and the song Bradwriaeth y Don," which had been specially composed by the deceased in memory of the late Mr. Tom Hopkins (brother of Mr. Taliesin Hopkins, the leader of the famous Porth Choir) who was drowned whilst bathing at a watering place, was acknowledged to be one of the finest in the Welsh language. He hoped that Mr. Hughes' compositions would be sung as long as the Welsh language would be kept. Smith's beautiful quartette, "Good evening," sung by Miss Francis, Miss Foster, Mr. Foster, and Gwilym Taf, was un- doubtedly one of the gems of the evening. Mr. E. O. Evans in a suitable speech proposed a hearty vote of thanks to the Chairman which was seconded by Mr. Meredith. Miss Foster to close the evenings enjoyment sang with taste the finales, "Cymru Fydd." The proceeds are to be devoted towards the building fund of the Welsh Congregational Chapel, Barry Dock. ACCIDENT TO A PITWOOD LABOURER.

It is with regret that we have to announce that Mr. S. A. Williams attended the above class last Sunday for the last time for some considerable time to come. In consequence of his ill-health, and acting by medical advice, he has been compelled to resign the conductorship, a step which the members very much regret, as they all appreciate and value the interest which he has taken in their welfare and the good which they have derived from his teaching. They, trust that he will soon regain his usual health, and be seen again in his old place. We are pleased to state that Mr. Inglis has consented to conduct the class during the absence of Mr. Williams, and it will be conducted very much in the same way as heretofore. It is earnestly hoped that the young men of Barry will now rally around Mr. Inglis, and support him as they did their late leader. Mr. Inglis is a man well qualified to teach, and the class should under his conductorship be most successful and prosperous, and prove to be in the future what it has been in the past a source of great good to the young men attending week by week.
