TO CORRESPONDENTS. Mr G. Wilson's interesting letter on Elec- tricity v. Gas is unavoidably held over until next week.

SANIL JITIILLIGNUJE. + CArcocn FAIR.—A fair was held at Capcoch on Monday last, when fair-lovers spent an en- joyable day, as there was a profusion of amuse- ments in the shape of round-abouts, safety swings, &c., besides stalls of fancy goods and others commodities usual on such occasions. ACCIDENT.—On Sunday morning a lad of five or six years of age,, whose parents reside in Doan- street. was playing near the water opposite Canal fiead House, when he fell in and would have certainly have been drawn into the culvert (where there is a very strong current), and drowned, had it not been for the timely assist- ance of Mr Alien, who was returning from morning service. ANNIVERSARY SCRYICEs.-Tho Will Street English Wesleyan Sunday school anniversary services,- conducted by the Rev. S. Kirk, of YlOuntaiu Ash, proved a complete success. On Thursday, June 11th, the children to the num- ber of 100, with their teachers, were entertained by Air James Karrison. liwllfa, at his residence, where they were provided with an ample supply of tea and cake, after which they spent a very enjoyable evening in various ways in the ad- joining field, kindly placed at their disposal by the above-named gentleman. TOWN IMPROVEMENTS.—The improvments that are being rapidly pushed forward by the Local Board in the lighting and paving of our streets will be hailed with delight by the pro- moters of the Royal National Eisteddfod, on account of which in a great measure the Board are so profuse in their expenditure. A great boon it will be to the visitors who attend the meetings of the Eisteddfod to inspect the Public Park, of which we are justly proud, as they will now be able to traverse the distance along good pavements. Then again the paving and widen- ing of Monk-street will be hailed with pleasure by all who ..pass that way, and when the improvements are complete in Pendarren-street there will be a continuous pavement to the field where the Eisteddfod Pavilion will be erected. SCHOOL BOARD.—This board met on Friday, the 12th inst, when there were present Messrs R. H. Rhys (chairman), D. P. Davies, D. Davies (Canton House). W. Little, Revs B. Evans, T..Jones, and W. James. An applica- tion was received from Miss Mary Ann Harris, of the Cwmaman School, for an increase of salary, on the ground of the large increase in her class, which at present numbered 95 girls. The Coard ordered another monitor to be pro- vided, but declined to grant the request. Estimates for work required to be done at the various schools were received from Mr Roderick, architect, and it wa, ordered that a special meeting be held on tho 23rd inst. to consider the report. In the meantime the chairman sug gested that the Schools Management Committee should also go round and make their annual report as to the condition of the whole of the schools under the the Board. The superintend- ent, Mr Morris, reported that the number of children on the books for the week ending June Gth was 4853; present at all, 4379; in average attendance, 3,727 amount due as fees, £ 83; arrears, 10s 7d; total, £ 83 10s 7d. Received, JE82 15s lOd; remaining in arrears, 14s 9d. CRICKET.—Aberdare Crusaders 1; Mertht)r\ College.—This match was plaged on Thursday, the llth iust, on the College Ground, and re- sulted in a draw greatly in favour of the Crusaders. The Rev. II.

A letter was read from Mr C. 11. James, M.P., accepting the post of president at one of the meetings. The terms of Air Bridson, the well-known basso, and Eos Dar as peniilion singer, were agreed to and their services were accepted. The programme 11 as to the order of events at the different meet- ings having been decided upon, it was ordered that a copy of the same be forwarded to Lord Abordare with a request that his lordship would riame the day on which he would like to preside. ..Reports of the finance and art committees were I read and adopted. It was resolved that a brass bandjjbe engagedjto play in the processionf to the gorsedd, &c, and thattho secretaries obtain terms from the various bands in the district. Arrange- ments were made to engage the Temperance hall and Judge's room during the Eisteddfod week, and the long room for three weeks, for the pur poses of an art exhibition, &c. The Secretaries t/eru also instructed to communicate with the authorities of the Crystal Palacu with a view of procuring for exhibition the Challenge Cup won by the South Wales Choir; also the Memorial Cup deposited at Aborystwith University College, Some other business re- 1 1 1 isp lating to the pavilion having been disposed of, the proceedings terminated. TEA MEETING.—On Thursday, June 11th, a monster Tea Meeting was held at Siloah :(Welsh Baptist) Chapel, Pontprenllwyd, when numer- ous parties of pleasuio seekers from our town availed themselves of the oppurtunity of an outiug to his pleasant spot. The caterers of vehicular traffic supplied traps of various kinds and sizes for the use of visitors at a cheap rate, ruuning:servlCesiat convenient:hours during the day. Th.) lea, which was laid in the chapel and served from 2 p.m. to 7 30 p.m. was par- taken of by a vory large number of persons, in- cluding inhabitants of the villages of Penderyn, iiirwaih, Penywain, Cwmdare, and adjoining places, with numerous visitors from Aberdare, Mill street, Gadlys, Aberaman, Cwmarnan, &C. These were supplied in relays as fast as possible, which kept the ladies presiding at the tea tables, waitresses, waiters, and the usual retinue of helpers, busy at work. The scene viewed from the gallery at this time was of an animating descriotion. Despite the high temperature of the atmosphere in tho building the presiding spirits put forth their best endeavours in their various occupations, working with the greatest a lacrity and speed, from Farmer Jenkins (Tor-y- Voel,) who as usual was employed in the task of usher, to the smallest waitress who busied herself with the requirements of the table to which she was engaged. The gentlemen in their white shirt sleeves, and the ladies in their cream-coloured dresses and neat aprons, formed an iuteresting picture, as each performed their i various functions with the greatest alacrity and expedition. The gentlemen and ladies engaged in cutting the cake and bread and butter deserve praise for the manner m which they performed their duties, refilling the empty plates handed to them with untiring rapidity (not allowing even the heat of the room to retard their movements.) The ladies who presided at the tables also did their part in a wonderfully active and praise- worthy manner. The young people, after being supplied with the good things laid before them, adjourned to a field adjoining the chapel, where they indulged in games of various kinds accord- ing to their tastes and inclinations, while others paired off and strolled along the beautiful green lanes or up the Mountain .side. Young and old enjoyed themselves to their hearts content, the weather being "not to hot but just hot enough." On the tables being cleared, a Miscellaneous Concert was held, which constituted the finale to a pleasant day's enjoyment. Most of the Aber- dare visitors, however returned before the Con- cert commenced as there were counter-attrac- tions in town at the Temperance Hall and Carmel English Baptist Chapet.

JOTTINGS BY THE WAY. There are some beautiful localities around Aberdare, which, it seems to us, are not ap- preciated as much as they might be. We can hardly imagine more enjoyable or refreshing scenery than that seen, at this time of the year, in driving from here to Penderyn, and walking thence to tht waterfalls on the Hepste river. # # This, however, is only one instance out of many. The places of interest and beauty which are to be found within a radius of a few miles, and to which a day's excursion might with advantage be undertaken, are not a few. In addition to this, good accommodation is to be found at or near most of these resorts. At all events, we ought to make a point of taking a few j aunts to some place or another in such beautiful weather as we are now having. The monotony of our life needs variation of some kind. If we do not care for our own neighbourhood, we could exchange the dusty streets of our little town for the breezy sea-side or beautiful country. Would it not be much wiser and kinder if our working men would save a few of the shillings they spend so reck- lessly at the public houses, and with the money take their wives and children for a day's outing ? The alteration at the Great Western Railway station, to which we referred some time ago in this column, has now been effected, and the public will be able to enter and leave the station on the town side of the bridge. # Everybody will be pleased to learn that the presentation to the Rev. A. E. Campbell will be made during the coming week. It is to consist of a beautifully illuminated address in album form (supplied by Messrs Waterlow and Sons, of London), a number of valuable books, and a purse of gold. The circumstances under which the presentation is to be made, are, as is well-known, in connection with Mr Camp- bell's marriage with the Hon. Miss Brodrick, daughter of Viscount Midleton. Some of the Aberdare bachelors seem in- clined to moralise on such demonstrations of popular feeling, and ask why it should always pour if it rains why, if the gods bless a man with a wife and a comfortable home, should all his friends, and even his most remote acquaint- ances rush forward with money, illuminated addresses, and such like. # They (the aforesaid bachelors) think that ladies are at the bottom of such generosity, fancying it will bean incentive to the uncaught fish to bite. Throw such little schemes to the wind, fair spinsters The bachelors of this town aro-if we may be allowed to coin a word —uncatchable; nevertheless, they would thank you warmly if you would got up a handsome presentation for a few of them. # # # The statement which was read at the last meeting of the Sliding Scale Committee, showing the average price of coal for the four months ending April 30th, revealed a lamentable state of things. The reduction in the workmen's wages, jvhich is of course a very easy thing to perform, and is always the certain result of poor trade, must now inevitably follow. The place where the little fellow came to grief by falling into the water on Sunday last Z, y should bo more substantially protected. At present the only safeguard is a low wall of about a foot in height. An iron grating ought also to be placed over the entrance to the culvert, and thus avoid the possibility of such a horrible accident as would ensue if anybody were to be drawn in. All the more so, be- cause children are frequently playing on the spot.

ABERDARE POLICE COURT. TUESDAY —(.Be/ore J. Bishop It. H. Rltys, and D. P. Davies, JEsqs.) DRUNKENNESS.—Ellen Evaos was summoned for being drunk and disorderly in High-street, on the 15th inst. P.O.

He picked up a net (produced) and a dead rabbit near the spot. He also found a forret in one of the rabbit holes. They were each fined 40s and costs, or a month in default. A DRUNKEN FREAK.—Thomas Hughes, a young man, was charged with stealing a cucumber, value 4d., the property of Henry Wiltshire, greengrocer, Mountain Ash, on the 13th inst. Dd. Lloyd J ones, landlord of the Carpenter's Arms, proved seeing defendant, who was in company with three or four other young fellows, take a cucumber from the shop window and walk off with it. He informed Mr Wilshire, and; defendant was subsequently taken into custody. Defendant said he was drunk at the time and had no recollection of it. He was let off on payment of a fine of 10s. A YOUNG THIEF.—David Richards, a boy of 12, living at 83, Gadlys-streat, was charged with breaking into a workshop at Gadlys, and stealing therefrom a quantity of screws, &c. Morgan Thomas, pattern-maker, 13, Wayne- street, said he worked at the Gadlys Works. In consequence of several tools having been missed from the workshop from time to time he was placed to watch the place during last week. On Saturday last he locked up the workshop and on Sunday afternoon, about 5.30, be went down to the shop, and on unlocking the door found the prisoner inside. Prisoner tried to rush past him, but he caught him. Prisoner admitted that he got in under the door of the adjoining shed, a.nd through a hole under the ridge of the roof. He found a quantity of screws and two small lock saws (paoduced) upon the prisoner, which were in the pattern-shop the night before, and they were of the value of about 5s. P.C. B. Phillips said he received prisoner in custody from last witness, and brought him to the station. He searched the house where prisoner lived and found a quantity of scrows, a compass, and chisel, all of which had been taken from the pittern-shop on the 5th inst. Prisoner cried and said he had only been there twice before, and that it was another boy that showed him the way in. Prisoner pleaded guilty and said that a boy named Wil- liam Jones told him to go there. He left school oil January last. Mr Bishop: Your mother asked the School Board to let you go home to work, and this is the lesult. You will have to go back to school again. You will be fined 10s, or seven days, which your father and mother ought to pay, and we further order you to re- ceive ten strokes with the birch rod. ANOTHER PROMISING UUCHIN. — Taliesin Hughes, a diminutive boy of 12, was charged with stealing firewood, the property of Messrs Nixon & Co. Neither of the prisoner's parents was present. P.C. Reed said he spoke to prisoner's father about him, and he said he could not afford the time to come up. About 11.30 a.m., on the 18th May last, he saw de- fendant leave the Deep Duffryn Colliery yard with five blocks of firewood under his arm. On seeing him, prisoner dropped the wood and ran away. Prisoner was summoned at the time, but did not appear. He had great difficulty in finding him. Prisoner was in the habit of sleeping out. Witness did not believe the father tried to find him, being given to drink himself. His Worship (addressing prisoner): We shall remand you to the workhouse for a week, and consider what we shall do with you. COAL STEALING.—Elizabeth Williams and Mary Hughes, married women, were charged with stealing coal the property of the Powell Duffryn Company, on the 3rd inat. Defendants were found by a constable picking coal from underneath the screen at Aberaman. They had 25lbs each when arrested, value 2d. Defend- ants pleaded guilty. His Worship Two re- spectable women like you ought to be ashamed of yourselves to go stealing coal. You ought to go to gaol, but we'll fine you instead 7s 6d each. A FOUL CHARGE.—William Davies, collier Mountain Ash, was summoued for unlawfully exposing his person, on the 8th inst. The sum- mons was taken out by Margaret Hopkins, a married woman, living at 85, Phillip-street, Mountain Ash, who stated that defendant had been quarrelling with her mother. She called her motner in and asked him why he had spoken to her mother in that way. He then used bad language to her (complainant,) and committed the alleged offence. Defendant, who denied the charge, called several witnesses. Complainant's testimony being uncorroborated, the case was adjourned for a week to enable a witness to at- tend.

ABERDARE LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH. The bi-monthly meeting of the above board was held on Friday, the 12th inst., when there were present Messrs R. H. Rhys (chairman,) D. P. Davies, D. Davies, (Canon-street,) D. Davies, (Canton House,) W. Thomas, W. Little, J. Williams, E. Morgan, and T. Rees. The minntes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed. THE NEW LAMP POSTS. Mr J. Williams remarked that the new lamp- posts already erected were exceedingly rough and coarse—like pig-iron made thirty years ago. The least thing they could have done was to smooth them a bit. The Chairmrn: Ask the Surveyor about it. He passed them. Mr J. Williams They look exceedingly bad alongside the road. The Surveyor: I spoke to Mr Williams about them. They have small nuts on them about the size of a pin's head. I told him to get a rough file and file them down. Mr J. Williams That should have been done before the varnish was put on. The pillars are strong enough. The Chairman proposed that Mr W. Thomas and Mr E. Morgan be requested to soe the lamp- posts complained of and report to the Board. Mr Williams seconded proposition, and it was agreed to. In answer to Mr Davies (Canon-street,) the Surveyor said they were putting up the thirty- eighth new pillar that day. COMMERCIAL-STREET LEVEL CROSSING. The Chairman stated that he had received a letter from the Taff Yale Railway Company with reference to the level crossing in Commercial- street, in which the company undertook to get the shunting carried on below instead of above the crossing. He therefore thought it un- necessary to take any further action. The Surveyor: I saw shunting thero last Monday. Mr W. Thomas: They cannot avoid doing some shunting. The Chairman: But they must shunt below not above the crossing. The Surveyor said he spoke to the pointsman about the matter, but he stated that he had received no instructions. The Chairman suggested that the Clerk write to say that if the company would do away with the shunting the Board would not oppose their 11 p Bill. Attention should be drawn to the fact that shunting was still going on; that the shunting should be done below the crossing. The sole object of the Board was to save the public as much inconvenience as possible. They did not object at present to through trains run- ning across the street. Mr Davies (Canon-street) said that a gentle- man going to Edinburgh was detained at the crossing ten minutes before the cabjgot through. The Great Western Railway officials were good enough to keep the trrin waiting. Shunting was going on then, aud it was constantly the case. The Chairman's suggestion was agreed to. FINANCE. The finance report was read and adopted. It showed a balance in hand to the credit of the Board amounting to £5,807 5s 3d. SEWERAGE LOAN, The Chairman begged to move that applica- tion be made for a loan of £ 1000 for sewerage purposes. He was of opinion that that amount would be sufficient to meet the expenditure re- quired for its completion. Mr D. Davies seconded the motion, and it was agreed to. MEDICAL OFFICER'S REPORT. The Medical Officer reported 111 cases of measles, being an increase of 12 per week over last leport; and 2 deaths, being an increase of 1 over the last report; also 5 cases of scarlet fever, being the same number as last report, but no death. The Inspector of Nuisances was instructed to obtain the returns from the Medical Officer, and give notice to the Clerk, with the view of pre- venting children from infected houses attending school. THE SURVEYOR'S REPORT. The following was read: Gentlemen, Lower Station-street.—In ac- cordance with instructions I have examined Lower Station-street, Aberaman, and beg to report that I found the same in a very bad state of repair, both as regards the carriageway and footways and channels. I also beg to submit a plan and section of the street and Jan estimate of the cost of repairing the same. [Here follows estimate.] Lighting.—The Committee of the whole Board appointed to decide upon the positions of the 149 new lamps proposed to be added to the 251 lamps now lighted in the District by the Aberdare Gas Company, and to consider the positionsjof the existing lamps having met on the 29th of May last, the new lamps were distribut- ed and the positions of some of the old ones were altered as follows. [A tabulated state- ment is here given, showing the position of the proposed new lamp pi"^rs an^ brackets, it being proposed to add the following pillar lamps to the various districts Llwydcoed 11, Trecynon, 14, Cwmdare 11, Gadlj's 5, Maesydre 1, Town District 8, Foundry Town 5, Abernant 6, Cwm- bach 31, Abergwawr 4, Aberaman 8, Capcoch 21, Cwmaman 10 J Commercial-place Urinal.— Iu accordance with instructions I have considered the best means of increasing the accommodation in the urinal in Commercial-place opposite the Brecon Old Bank, tind beg to submit the accompanying plan which, if adopted, the estimate would cost about Y,44 to carry out.

The Chairman explained that, with regard to the plans of the new Post Office, he had an in- terview with the Inspector, and as certain modi- fication had been made, and the sanitary ar- rangements improved, the Board would take no further objection. The plan of the proposed stable in rear of No. 3, Merchant-street was refused. PENDARREN-STREET. A letter was read from Mr W. T. Lewis re pudiating any liabily on the part of Lord Bute for the repair of Pendarren-street. The Surveyor said that in order to make sure, I he had served notice on both parties-Mr D. P. Davies and Lord Bute. TENDERS FOR SCAVENGING. It wasjordered that tenders be invited in the I usual way for the scavenging of the district; also for the Park grass. 0 0 DEPUTATION FROM ROBERTS TOWN. Mr David Rees and Mr Thos. Harrison at- tended as a deputation on behalf of the inhabi- tants of Roberts Town to request the Board to light the roads in that district with gas. The Chairman pointed out that at present there were no gas mains laid down but if they were able to get twenty: consumers, and got the Gas Company to lay mains there, the Board might light the main streets. The deputation also drew attention to. the dilapidated state of the bridge over the river, and asked the Board to take to it and keep it in repair. The Chairman intimated lhat the bridge was erected on private property and under the cir- cumstances the Board could not interfere. Capt. Roberts ought to erect abridge higher up. The Board could not lay out money on property that was not under their control. The Board then separated.

SURVEYOR'S REPORT. The following was read:— Gentlemen,-In accordance with instructions made at the last meeting I beg to submit for your consideration particulars respecting the site and cost respecting a hospital for infectious diseases, in your district. 1st. The Site.-I have in company with Mr Morgan selected three sites, which are shown upon the accompaning plan. I am of opinion that site No. 2 would be the most suitable, and with your approval a plan of the same shall be forwarded to Lord Aberdare for his terms. The quantity of land required will be about 3,000 square yards. 2nd. The Cost.-I beg to sub- mit for your notice plans and sections of various designs of hospitals for the accommodation of twelve beds. Designs A and B are constructed of corrugated iron, and would each cost about £ 400. Design C is constructed of masonry, and would cost about £500. Design D is construct- ed of wood covered with felt, and would cost about JE420 These estimates are exclusive of the cost of the purchase of land, fencing, and drainage. II. 1 beg to report that your clerk has for- warded me various papers containing in- structions for the prevention of cholera and other infectious diseases, which I have examined. With respect to flushing the sewers, as strongly recommended by Dr. Davies at the interview he had with your committee, it is necessary that strict attention should be paid to this matter. Arrangements should be made at once for flushing at the dead ends of all the sewers, and for this purpose terms should be obtained from the Water Works Companies in the district for the supply of Water from their mains. You would require at least 22,000 gallons per day, which should be distributed amongst the different sewers as may be thought best. In my opinion the sewers of this district will never be in a satisfactory condition until a volume is passed through them equal to about two gallons per head per day of the population. Respecting the use of disinfectants, I Jhave, given instructions for the free use of them wherever required. The inhabitants should also know that they may be obtained from the Surveyor upon application. With respect to the removal of ashes. This work is not carried out as strictly as it shoult be. The present contract expires early in August, and I then propose recommending seyeraljalter- ations in the arrangements of carrying out the 0 contract. III. I beg to report that I have not been able during the last fortnight to get out the ap- portionment of costs incurred in the improve- ments of High-street, but will endeavour to lay the same before you at your next meeting. IV. I beg to report that the work required to be done for the tipping of ashes at the new Graig Quarry, is being carried out, and that the contractor has ceased depositing ashes at the upper quarry as ordered. 0 V. With respect to a letter from Mr Rowlands, read at your last meeting, referring to the di- lapidated state of the paving in front of his house, Mountain Ash Inn, Commercial-street, I beg to report that the cost of laying down curb and channel, for the remedy of this complaint in front of the said premises, would be JE4. I would recommend this matter be deferred until plans can be submitted for your consideration of the improvement of the upper part of Com- mercial-street, namely, from Duffryn-street to the Duffryn Schools. VI. I beg to report that on the 5th inst., I met. by appointment, Mr Williams, Surveyor, Taff' Vale Railway, at Gelliwrgan, Clydach Valley, with respect to the crossing by foot- passengers over the Taff Vale Railway at this place. Mr Williams, on behalf of the Taff Vale Railway, has promised to erect a footbridge over the river and a level crossing over the rail- way for the convenience of traffic in this locality. VII. I beg to report that I have received a plan from Mr Levi Adams, of 49, Napier-street, of a house to be built in Bailey-street, Miskin, to which I do not see any objection. I have' also received from Messrs Thomas Morris and Isaac Thomas, plans of two houses to be built at Aberffrwd, to which I do not see any ob- jection. — I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, S. O. HARPUR, Surveyor. Mountain Ash, June 15th, 1885. PROPOSED HOSPITAL. On the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Mr Yeo, it was resolved that a hospital be, provided for the district as suggested, and that the Sanitary Committee settle all details necessary and report to the Board. FLUSHING OF SEWERS. The Chairman proposed that the clerk apply to Messrs Nixon and Co. to know if they could supply the Board with 22,000 gallons of water per day for flushing the sewers, as recommended, and upon what terms. This was agreed to. DISINFECTANTS. It "was ordered that notices be issued in- forming the public that the board would supply disinfectants gratis to ^persons requiring the same. NAPIER-STREET. A letter having been read from the Rev. J. O'Reilly calling attention to the unsatisfactory state of the above street. The Surveyor was instructed to report thereon at the next meeting. THE COLLECTORSHIP. Mr J. Lewis, the collector of rates and in- spector of nuisances, sent in his resignation as collector, remarking that the two offices were more than he could possible attend to, and do justice to both. On the motion of the Chairman, the resig- nation was accepted, and it was ordered that a successor be advertised for. MEDICAL OFFICER'S ANNUAL REPORT The following was read:- Gentlemen,—The total number of births re- gistered in the Mountain Ash Urban Sanitary District for the year 1884 was 433 (221 males, 212 females,) this will give a birth-rate of 39'3 per 1000 per anuum upon an estimated popula- tion of 11,000 inhabitants. The number of deaths returned for the year was 202, being 49 less than for the year 1883. This will give a death-rate of 18*3 per 1000 per annum, being lower than the previous year when it was 22'8 per 1000 per annum. The total number of vaccinations for the year was 357. In the first quarter of the year the deaths were principally due to diseases of the lungs and air passages, viz., bronchitis and phthisis. There were also six deaths from zymotic diseases which ocurred in various parts of the district. Every precaution was taken, and dis- infectants were freely used to prevent the spreading of these diseases. Several houses were examined in the district during this period and every defective sanitation was remedied. The slaughter-houses were found clean and thoroughly whitewashed. The second quarter of the year was marked by its low death-rate, diseases of the lungs and air passages again predominating. One death of enteric fever occurred at this time. There were no other cases reported. The house where the fever was, was fairly clean and the drains were examined and found in proper order, and nothing to account for its appearance. An in- spection of the district and water supply was made and all were found satisfactory. In the third quarter the mortality was headed by infantile diarrhoea, which was prevalent in the district at this time, and was I believed caused by the high temperature which occurred and the absence] of rain. Affections of the re- spiratory organs were not so numerous during the summer months. One fatal case of whooping cough occurred, although there were several children suffering from this disease. The death-rate for the last quarter of the year was fairly satisfactory. Chest affections again. to the fore. Three deaths from enteric fever are also recorded for the three months. Several cases of this fever occurred at Penrhiwceibr at this time. All the houses were examined by the Inspector of Nuisances and myself; a few of the drains wore found at fault but nothing to account for its appearance. The drains were put in proper order and disinfectants used in each of the houses. However, it is highly satisfactory, that but four deaths from enteric fever occurred in the twelve months. Before the Local Board was established, I believe entire streets had enteric fever with a great mortality. The whole,district:was examined and found in a very fair condition. The slaughter- houses were examined and found clean. I enclose copies of statistics required by the London Government Board, to whom I shall transmit a copy of this my report.-I remain, gentlemen, your ob edient servant, E. PRICHARD EVANS. Medical Officer. Duffryn Ffrwd, June, 1885. The Chairman remarked that considering the epidemic they had suffered from, he considered the death-rate very low, and the report very satisfactory. FINANCE. The finance report showed an overdraft on general account amounting to JE368 8s. 2d., while the sewage account was in credit to the amount of JE222 6s. 7d. The Board then separated.

Deceased was an old inhabitant and held in the highest esteem by all classes of 0 the community. His remains were interred at the Aberdare Cemetery on Tuesday last. TREHARRIS. COLLIERS' MEETING.—A large meeting of colliers employed at the Harris' Navigation Colliery was held on Monday evening, when it was unanimously resolved to condemn the action of the Liberal Three Hundred in East Glamor- gan, in trying to force a candidate upon the constituency when the general feel of the people was not in favour of the gentleman. A protest was also entered against the action of a clique in the association introducing sectarianism into the selection of a candidate.; CYFAliTHFA COLLIERS' MEETING.—The Cyfarthfa colliers held a general meeting on Monday last, Mr D. Morgan, miners' agent, was present, aud de- livered an address. The chief topics discussed were those of local labour. The suggestion as to the appointment of check-weighmen was favourably regarded. RHONDDA PARLIAMENTARY REPRESENTATION.—As the result of a latter written by Mr J. J. Grffiths, hon. secretary of the Rhondda Valley Liberal Three Hundred, Mr Fred L. Davis, son of Mr Lewis Davis, Ferndale, imparting to him the fact that he had been selected as the Liberal candidate for the Rhondda Valley, a reply has been received from the latter gentleman, thanking his friends for their kind support, and assuring them that he would endeavour to prove himself worthy of their confidence. MERTHYR. INDIGNATION MEETING.—A pubic meeting was held at the Temperance Hall, Merthyr, on Tuesday night, for the purpose "taking into consideration the means for securing the pre- sentation to the living of a clergyman acceptable to the inhabitants and to adopt measures to resist the nomination of the Ritualists." There was a large number of people present. Mr C. M. James, high-constable, occupied the chair. The following resolutions were proposed by Messrs Wm Simons, Walter Smyth, and D. Evans repectively, and unaminmously passed. That to lensure the ;mamtenance of harmony among the members of the English churches in this town, and the exceedingly good relations between Church and Nonconformist communi- ties, it is undiserable that a ritualistic clergyman should be appointed to the benefice. That having regard to the circumstances connected with the advowson, it is expedient that means should be taken to resist any nomination to the benefice unless made by the chancellor and scholar of the University of Cambridge. That a subscription be entered into for the purpose of meeting any expenditure which might have to be made, and that to give effect to the re- solutions and to carry out the arrangements con- sequent upon them, and to collect subscriptions, a committee or number of gentleman be appointed.
