AN IRISa: Row AT MOUNTAIN ASH.—James Callaghan, Humphrey Leary, Patrick Gilla, William Cillaghan, William Hurley, Patrick Collins, Dctvid Fan-ell, and Cornelius Leary, all lusty looking Irishmen living at Mountain Ash, were brought up charged with disorderly behaviour aud with assaulting P.C. Jam^s James in the execution of his duty. The constable deposed: About 11 o'clock, on Satur- day night, I heard a great disturbance near the Barracks, Mountain Ash. I wont there and found a large crowd of people. Saw James Callaghan and Cornelius Leary fighting with each other. I took hold of both of them, and Sergt. Castle took Leary from m). James Callaghan. at once struck me on the neck. Wil- liam Callaghan (hIs brother) and Gila then took hold of ames Callaghan and told me to let him loose. I asked Callaghan for his name and address, aud his brother and Hurley toid him not to give it. and, using a fiithy ex- pression, said, We shall finish him (witness) to uight; he is coming down here too often." Both caught hoidofCallagban, and Karrellcameonand told me not to choke the man, but let him loose. I had hold of Callaghan t^ien by the collar of his coat. Farrell caught hold of me by tue arm aud, using an oath, said, James, if you don't loose that man, we shall finish you tl-uight." I told him to stand back, that it was not long since he was in trouble of this sort before. He said he would not st Ln 1 back. Then Petetr Collius came on, showed fight before me, put his fist into my face, and cilled out to the others, Now, boys. wire into him," and made use of threats if I did not let the <nan go. Tiiis man and the others took James Callaghan from me. i rushed through the crowd and caught hold of the man again. Then some one from the crowd struck me on the back with a stone (produced.) They sucsceded in releasing him a secoud time I caught hold of him the third time, when Humphrey Leary came on and said, "Let him free," and struck me in the face. After that Cornelius came on. and as I w'4ii batching hold of Humphrey, they dragged him cleaft away. Collius came back again and showed fight before me, and said, i he next time you come down to the Barracks we'll kill you." Another man said, Yes, let's finish him now." P.S. Castle them came on. but could not get through the crowd. W 3 sent for assistance, and P.O. itees afterwards c ime up. A good many had gone away by this time. • amey and YVillia.n Callaghan and Gilla ran i away. We ran after them but could net catch them. In company with PS. Johns, Castle, Evans, Beynon, and i Rees we arrested the prisoners in bed. I know them all well by sight. PS. Castle said: About half-past 11. last night. I was in com- pany with P.C. James, near the Barracks, Cardiff-road, Mountain igh, and, hearing a great row, we went down to it We found! from 150 to 200 people fighting right through each other P.U. James rushed in and caught hold of Leary and another. I took ornelius Leary from him and asked his name and address, but he rafused to give it. Then Patrick Collins and David Farrell came on and caught hold of the prisoaer. one pulliug one way and the other the other. I got his name and let him go About ten yards away there was a great crowd. 1 went on to James, and as I was pushing through the crowd I saw Humphrey Leary strike him ou the head with his fist. I pushed through the crowd and caught hold of Leary, but he got away I went to the assistance of James, but the prisoner he had h<>ld of was taken from him by the crowd. We advised them to go home, but they would not, stating that thev would kill James before they went away. We went and got assistance and by the time we caroe back a good many had gone. Two of the prisoners ran away but we failed to catch tha n. We afterwards got P.S. Johns' assistance and took thorn into custody. All the prisoners were there. I know them all by sight. Hurley, Collins, and Farrell expressed a wish to be dealt with sum- marily, the others requesting an adjournment for the purpose of calling witnesses. His Worship, addressing the three men, said it was quite clear- they were in this crowd and inter- fering with the police. Whether the latter were, right or wrong in taking a man into oustody. they (the prisoners) had no business to interfere and endeavour to effect a rescue. As however, they did not appear to have done any personal violence to the police, the Bench would impose a fine and not send them to prison with- out the option of a fine. They were etch fined 40s and costs, or one caleudar month's hard labour in default. William Callaghan also re- quested the Bench .to deal with his case, and he was also fined in a like;; auieunt. Before the court rose, the other four men wished the Bench to deal with thetr cases. James Callaghan and Humphrey Leary were each sent to prison for one calendar month for assaulting the constable. The other two men, for attempting to rescue the prisoner, were fined 401 au3 costs each, or one calendar month in default. STONE THROWING. -Då.vid Davies, a lad 12 years of age, was summoned for assaulting another youngster named David Towell by striking him with a stone on the head. Mr Thos. Phillips appeared in defence. Complain ant stated that ou Monday week he was stand- ing by the house doing nothing, when a stone was thrown, which struck him on the head. In cross-examination he said he lived next door to defendant, who had two sisters smaller than himself. He did not hit one of them on the back, and they did not go awav screalniog. Naomi Powell, 23, Dowlais-street, mother of complainant, said she was a widow in receipt of parish relief. Defendant struck her little boy on the head with a stone when she was stand- ing at the door. Heard her boy quarreling with defendant's sister. The little giri went iuto the house and the brother came out and struck I her boy with a stone on the head. Her brother 1 »ave her money to take out a summons. Mrs J Margaret Ann Thomas, 24, Pi ice-street, said 3he saw complaiuaut thumping the little girls 1 with his fist. They cried and fetched thjir brother, who picked something np aud struck ] tbe other boy on the head. His Worship com- i nentad on the danger of stone throwing, and i aned defendant 6d aad thA oost of the summons, i William Quick and James Strange, la Is, svere summoned tor throwing stones in Cross- t street. PC. rhillips saw defendants on the I evening of the 19th u t, throwing stones at I jach other iu the above street. Some of tie e stones came into otation-street. When defend j mts saw him they ran away. Fined 2s 6d and h sosts each, or three days ia default. I DRUNK AND REFUSING TO QUIT.—David s Evans, John Joakins, William Perrott, and I 3avid Jenkins, colliers, were summoned for ( a being drunk at the Mountain Ash Inn and re- fusing to quit, on the 17th May Charles Rowlands, the landlord, said the defendants came into his house in their working clothes from 12 to 1 o'clock in the day, the worse for drink, and called fer some beer. He told them he could not supply them and advised to go home. There was another man with them in clean clothes, who was sober. He asked for drink and was supplied with a quart, and defendants had share of it They then wanted another, but he would not give it. Told them to leave several times. They, however, would not go, and he bad to send tor the police to put them out P.O. James said he had to turn Dd. Jenkins and Perrott out by force and they after wards kicked up a row in the street The other went out quietly. Dd. Jenkins and Perrott were fined 7s 6d and costs each, or ten days, and the other men were fined 58 and costs each or seven day. CAT AND DOG."—Robert Coombs, a lad, was summoned for playing "cat and dog" in H ill street, on the 11th ult. Henry Simmonds proved the case and stated that he had two panes of glass broken. the mother said she would only pay. for one, so he took out a summons. Fined Is and costs. TRESSPASS —Henry Chickley, a youth, was summoned by P.C. Whitney for tresspassing on Fforchauiau farm, on the 8th nit, the property of Mrs Kingsbury. Fiued Is, Id damage, and costs. RIVAL CABMEN.—John Thomas was sum- moned for assaulting Thomas Underhill, and there was a cross summons. Uuderhill said that on Saturday week defendant came on the cab stand opposite the Wslsa Hat p. abrnt a quarter 11 at night, and he asked him what business he had there there plying for hire, having no budge Thomas was standing by his father's cab, but his father was not there. Thomas told him to mind his own business With that a man came up and pushed him against Thomas's face. Thomas hit him in the mouth, and ran away According to Thomas's version of the affair it was alleged that Under- bill deliberately butted him w.th his head. and he simply held both his hands out in self defence but struck no blow. Witnesses were called on both sides. The summonses were dismissed, each party to pay his own costs. YOUNG Tnmvua.-Charles Gardner, 14, and George Blizzard, 13. were charged with stealing 31 walking sticks, value 15s 61, the property of David Williams, hawker, at Mountain \sh fair, on the 23rd ult. Each of the prisoners pleaded guilty to taking one stick each. Blizzard, it appeared, sold his stick the sa:oe evening to another lad fur 2d, which he said he intended pufting towards a pint." His Worship said he would not send them to prison, but have them flogged well by a good strong sergeant of police—VJZ ten strokes each with a birch rod. That woull perhaps taach them not to steal sticks again. The parents might go down stairs and see it done. AFFILIATION. -John Williams, Cwmbach, was summoned by Margaret Davies late servant at the Star public-house, show to cause, &0. fae paternity wis denied rue case was adjourned for complainant to produce witnesses. THE EXPLOSIVES' Aor. —vlr Cnas Kenshole, (Linton aud Kenshole, j applied on benalf of the Powell's Dutfryn Steam Coal Company Limited, for a license to keep mixed explosives at Aber- aman.

BATH AND WEST OF ENGLAND SHOW THE C vRDIFF MEETING. The 1882 exhibition of horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, poultry, implements, &c, under the auspices of the Bith and West of England Society, was openei to the public on Monday ut Cardiff. Finer weather for the opening day the most anxious well wishers of the society could not have desired; and from ten o clock, the time the ?ates in Park-pUce were thrown open, until late in the afternoou, there w ts a continu- ous stream of visitors to a show which now bids fair to rank amongst the most successful the society has 6ver held. The arrangements in the yard were under the superintendence of the stewards, aud acting under Vlr Hemingway, tho ground was efficiently kept by a detac iment ofpolica The open judging in the show ytrd of horses, cattle, sheep, and pigs commenced at 1>) o'clock, and continued uatil nearly five in the afternoon. By four the great majority of the visitors found their way to the horse-ring, which is overlooked by the grand stand. There ii always at meetings of this kind a large section who care more to see the horses trotted or driven round the ring than for any other feature of the day's proceedings, and Monday was no exception to the rule. For hours together the people, many of whom wore ladies, stood patiently waiting for the decision of the judges 111 the different classes decisions which were made known by a telograph board placed in the centre of the ring. Tue. e weie t irse.cattle rings from the centre of each of wnich judges were busy all day in the work of adjudication. This did not appear to prove very attractive to the general public,- and the farmers and breeders who were specially interested in particular classes moved on towards the stalls which were ranged quite near. Many, perhaps most breeders of cattle worthy of the name, inspected the various classes-tbe Herefords, the short- horns, the blacks, the Devons, the Jerseys, the Gu-rnseys, and the Sussex. The implement department was opened at ten o'clock. The show includes every kind of agricultural implement of any importance, and specimens are shown of implements with all the latest improvements, tvery manufacturer in England is represented, and where there is such keen competition as in this business it may be readily supposed that no effort has been spared to bring before tho public collections which will redound to the credit ot the exhibitors among the critical aud careful class of men with whom they deal The arts department contains a gallery of paintings well worthy a visit, and a walk round the flower show, which is in a tent near the centre of the ground, forms a delightful change. Not far from the flower tent there is the exhibition of the British Bee- keepers' Association. Both tie flowers and the bees were visited by large numbers of people, aud an exposition of bee management and applianses seemed to be a great attraction The working exhibition of implements for grass cutting, hay-making, and rick-making also came in for a fair share of public attention. This is in a field at the extreme end of the show yard, and throughout the week no doubt the spot will be visited by many agriculturists anxiou3 to see in actual working trim tae irn plements the advantages of using which they bear so much. During the afternoon the band of the Roval Marines played at intervals a select:on of lively music, and this added con- s derably to the pleasure to be derived from a visit to the show-yard. Turning our attention nratto the cattle, we find that, on the whole, there is a remarkably good show. In shorthorns the exhibition was exceptionally' rich. Take, for instance the class for the best heifer,in milk or in calf, calved in 1880. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to find a better lot of heifers to- gether in one class, and on the fame ground at the same time. Mr Charles William BrIerley Roseiale, Penbury, Worcestershire, sent a red and white shorthorlt, heifer, "Miss Doncaster," aged 2 years, 4 months, 2 weeks. Com ng from a district which is held to be very much better suited for breeding shorthorns-wbioh the avera,e Welsh farmer from the West will persist in considering a delicate beast-than South Wales, this heifer has not b.eo equalled for some years in her class at an exhibition of the Bath and West of England. She was superior in size and in general quality to the heifer seut by Mr David Pugh, Manoravon, Llandilo. Carmarthen, or roan shorthorn heifer, Victorine, aged, 2 years, 3 months, 6 days, bred by exhibitor sire Falmouth (38,268f dim Red Victoria—which was awarded the second position by the junges. But the farmers here uugut to know tuaf the general opiuion or tliose most competent to judge was th.t there was not a bad point about Victorine, and tuat she was pronounced to be perfect enough io be shown in any company. Jf two year-old shorthorn heifers there was a aretty full entry, and the show justified the entries. The blue ribbon was assigned by tne ] ud^es to "Blossom 5th." a roau shorthorn leifer, the property of tbe Rev. Hobert Bruce Sennard, Marnhull, Blandford, Dorset. The lire of the "Blossom 5th" was "Lord i ?itzclar€nce 24th." Coming of a good stock, iho is a magnificently-built heifer, and her touch was perfect. Mr Pugh a^ain came in for second honours. In this cuse there was a good deal of difference between his "Czarina Manor- avon" aud the winner of the first prbe She: was somewhat bad in tin ribs. and not quite so fleshy down the hocks as the winner of the first prize. But she has been second at the Royal show, so that she is not without merit, to say the least of it. The show career of "Blossom 5th" commenced at Carlisle, where she took a second prize, and this was followed by her winning the highest honours at Tunbridge Wells From the true home, of shorthorns (Yorkshire) there comes in another class a roan shorthorn cow, "Gratia," aged 3 years, 7 months, 3 weeks, 1 rtay, which has figured as first and champion at the Royal as a two-year-old, but she has now become some- what patchy, and she is nothing like so true nor so good from the centra of the bick to the pins, though at the same time she is bigger rounrt the heart than the first prize animal. Better bulls than those shown in the two-year-old, class we have seen before That sent from lenbury, which won the first prize, has not a good enough coat, and there were ethers in the stalls not exactly of the type of real shorthorns One we noticed was almost like a a Guernsey on the head. of a faded red colour. The agep bulls of the shorthorn breed were well represented. Of yearling shorthorns there are often better exhibitions than the present at the Bath an i West of England Society's show. Of Herefords there was a capital show, and in many of the clashes the judges must have ex- perienced considerable difficulty in arriving at a decision. In the aged bull class there were two exhibits which at oace attracted attention Horace 4th," sent by Frederick Platt, Barnby Manor, Newark, Notts, a red with white face Hereford bull, and "Trefalgar," sent by Mr He iry William Taylor, Showle-court, Ledbury. There is scarcely any difference in the ages of the two both are fine specimens of the breed, but the Ledbury bull is of batter quality aud shape, truer in symmetry, and in fact is some- what superior in every point to the other. Mr Aarou Roger's rtadolph has had a remark- ably successful career. The winner of the first prize here in the class for tho best bull calved in 1880, he has won at Welshpool, Merthyr, Tal- garth. and Ludlow. He appeared to be more compact than the bull seut by Mr Thomas James Clrwardine, and was muca better topped. Mr Carwardine's "Sir Bart-le Frere" looked slack and weak about the shoulders. The show of Welsh black cattle was not so numerous as it was expected to be. but the quality of the exhibits left nothing to be desired. Of Jersey cows, the most profitable of butter cows—(she will yield more butter for her size and the food consumed, than any other breed whatever), there was a good show, including Lord Boltimore, -Mr Simpson, Reigate; Mr Buckley, Llaoelly; YIr Smith, Derbyshire Mr Lebrocq, Jersey; Mr Fowler, Southampton. In Guernseys the honours were divided between the Hev. Mr Watsou aud Mr Jas James. Of sheep there was a good show, especially of Southdowns. She show of agricultural horses was a credit- able one. The animals were suitable to the work, and in point of breeding they were quite up to the mark.

"TO MY BOY." After a fiercely contested fight during the lata Afghan War. a young soldier was found lying dead wi.th a bloo i-stained Bible clasped close to his breast. On the fly leaf was written ill a tre ibling hand—'To my Boy. — Daiig News. Ay, we've had it hot: they stood to it well. There's some ugly gaps in the compauy roll; At one tfno I thought-when the captain foil — We were in for it, every man on the kuoll. The wound ?-—it s nothing a tulwar stroke t hat smashed my steel -he'd have had me then, But I took to the butt when tae bayonet broke, \cd well, be won't handle a tulwar again. See they're lifting the wounded and de"d -hillo, My friend!—hurrah! tnevsaid YOll were down, And sorry was I, for a maid I know Who prays for us both in our dear old town. What's that in your hand ? a Bible, eh ? So you've turned at last; well, I'm glad, I own, Though 'twiil take you your hardest tor many' a day To get it believed in—where you're known. Don't joke now, friend, when you know he's dead As this belonged to, you'll feel as bad As I do about it." Who is it Fred ?" Xouug Taffy." Tom's bronzed facegrew sad But ha was'nt there he was sent to the roar On the baggage guard." "I know, but he came Up after us as a volunteer, And hisguard was taken by—what's hisname How did it happen ?" Well, maybe you mind, Waen the skirmishers came to a dead stand still, And the guns opened fire from the slope behind. Just before we were ordered to storm the hill There wasn't much chaff in me then, for I knew We'd lose of our number at least a third, And there wasn't a man in the ranks but drew A deeoer breath when we heard the word. Just as we got it, I felt a touch On my arm, and. turning, saw him there With a queer, wild look about hilD, such As I've seen in a picture face somewhere. He push d in beside me^; one quick grip Of our hands, and thea the advance began, And forward, with many a stagger and slip, We went at the Afghans, man to man. Their fire grew hot, and our lads fell fast As we breasted the hill with our teath hard set; But we knew that our turn would only last Till it came to the tulwar and bayonet. Up, up through the tangled brush we broka. While the guns let them have it, shell on shell, Till we saw their faces out of the smoke Scowling and glaring like fiends of hell. On the top we steadied a bit, and then. As they came at us with tulwar and knives. The captain cried out- 'The bayonet men Ay, we gave them the worth of our comrades' lives. The fight grew awful—one fellow down Two rose, you d thought, from the ground in his placa; I heard a cry from poor Bill Brown, A nd saw him stagger and fall on his face. He was up again as quick as light, Hard hit, but game as ev^r. Just then The captain fell ir the thick of the fight, And the enemy closed in on our lines again. Fighting like fiends, our lads gave ground, And I thought we were ia for a new Isand', When Brown at the leader we it with a bou id. With the captain's sword in his blood-streak'd hand. One grinding stroke and the leader fell, When our feilows came again on like a tide. And drove them with cheer, and cursa, aAd yell, LIko frighte ied sheep down the steep hillside. We pressed them hard, rigot down to the plaiu; Then our horse came thundering out of the pass; Sabre and lance went to work amain, And cut down the flying crowd like grass. Well, after that I went to the place Where I'd last seen Taffv. and found him there. On his back, stoue dead, with thit smile on his face You've maybap seen a sleeping infant wear. Looking at him I saw this here Close clasped o'er the bllllet hole in his breast As I lifted it up there was something queer Came up ill iny throat and then -^I'm blest If the leaves didn't open where she'd writ- j To my Boy when she gave him the book, why then It upset me quite. Don't mind me a bit! God help his mother!" Amen, Amen." God held her ay, rough prayei, maybe, From a soldier's heart to a soldier's friend, Hide your tears from your mates, Fred, He can 8"A And will love you not less for them at the end. And she who. watching wistfully, Smoothes with trembling hands her silver hair, A.nd seeing the postman pass her by Feels h >r heart ill tae ."tlel grip of despair, I What matters to her a victory won ? A triumph that rings the world all o'er ? [t has reft from the widow her only sou — Pshaw I a common soldier; nothing more STet, he was true to duty's call, 0 Gave his lifi for Englind's weal anl pride, ^nd high as the highest among them all, She honours the widow's boy who died.
