Bangor College will be opened in the week beginning October 19th. Haymaking is becoming general, excellent crops being secured on meadows. The weather continues delightful, aud visi- tors are tempted to the seaside earlier than usual. The preamble of the Barry Dock Bill was approved by the House of Commons committee on Wednesday. r The Rev Enoch Jones, curate of Llandudno, and son of Mr Jones, Alermagwr, Crosswood, took the degree of M.A. at Oxford last week. Another member of the College staff has taken to preaching, Prof. Brough being an- nounced to deliver a sermon in one of the chapels. The annual meeting of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is adver- tised to he held on Tuesday afternoon, at the Town Hall. Mr David Evans, the newly-elected alderman for the City of London, is a Welshman, being y I" a native of Llantrisant, Glamorganshire. Alderman Evans, who is thirty-five years of age, is a Conservative. His nomination was seconded by Mr Stephen Evans. A meeting of the executive committee of the North Cardiganshire Agricultural Society is announced to be held at the Town Hall on Monday. As the prizes will be settled, and the judges appointed, and other arrangements made, the meeting will be an important one, and ought to be well attended. 0 Mr Lewis Morris has intimated that it is his intention to propose, at the next Council meet- ings of the Aberystwyth and Cardiff Colleges, a resolution that the proposed conference is premature as regards higher education, and unnecessary as regards intermediate education. A correspondent in another column suggests whether it vould not be beneficial for the College Council to consider if it is desirable that the agreement which authorises the Prin- cipal of the College to accept preaching en- gagements should be permitted to continue in force. The abstract of accounts for the half-year ended March 26th shows a slight improvement in the position of the Union, there being a decrease in the number of out-door and in-door paupers, and also in ;the expenditure. The abstract is prepared with the care which has characterised it for some years, and is a credit to Mr Lewis Evans. Mr T. Davies, Bootle, and Mr Keeling, Liverpool, have intimated their intention to give each a scholarship of fifty pounds, tenable for five years at the College. That is the sort of thing that is required. This act of these two gentlemen will do more to strengthen the College than all the resolutions of all the deno- minations put together. The result of the Lampeter School Board election is a surprise. Mr William Jones, Llwynygroes, the unsuccessful candidate, is one of the most influential gentlemen in the town and neighbourhood, and is very popular, but the course he has chosen to adopt with regard to religious education in schools had completely alienated him from the Church party, and his new sillies, the Nonconformists, do not seem to have given him their united support. Mr A. G. Dawson, of Macclesfield, has pub- lished an interesting illustrated work, which lie calls ifThe Amateur's Guide in Bee-keep- ing." The writer has evidently made himself thorough!y acquainted with bees and their habits, and iliose who desire to enter upon the lucrative study and rearing of apiaries we can strongly recommend this little book. The pursuit is instruciive, agreeable, and profitable, especially when carried out on such lines as those laid down by Mr Dawson. Quarter Sessions will be held at Lampeter and Dolgelley on Tuesday. The College meetings will be held on Mon- day evening and Tuesday. The debt remaining on Llaubadarn Church is now only about f850. The total expenditure is about £ 7,000. The promoters of all entertainments and public meetings of various kinds expect to see the objects in which they are interested reported at length in the newspapers, but it does not always occur to them to advertise those events in the newspapers in which reports are expected to appear. The public have but a slight idea of the cost of pro- ducing a good paper, and would be surprised to be told that twenty pounds a week does not go far in the production of one. An instance of the sort of thing to which we refer occurs in this town just now. Shortly a bazaar will be held in connection with one of the Noncon- formist chapels, and doubtless we shall be expected to report the event, at considerable expense to ourselves, but the promoters have not advertised in this paper, although they show their appreciation of that means of securing publicity by inserting an advertise- ment in another paper. In cases of this kind the bulk of the promoters know nothing of the details, which are entrusted to a committee, and they are not in any way responsible for the management. Possibly the committee are not desirous of being supported by Church- people and Conservatives; but that can hardly be so, for most of their patrons are Church- people. This is but a solitary instance of the many that might be mentioned. For instance, the managers of the Promenade Pier and the Town Band will be surprised if they are not noticed in the newspapers, but they do not advertise. No doubt the fault is due to the newspapers, which have reported events whether advertised or not.
NEW WORK BY PROFESSOR HUMPIDGE'
NEW WORK BY PROFESSOR HUMPIDGE' Dr Humpidge, one of the professors at Aberyst- wyth College, has just t dited and translated A Short Text Book of Inorganio Chemistry from the German of Dr Kulbe. In a review of the book the Athenseum of Saturday last states that "If it contains fewer facts than some similar works, it is rkher in practical details; and of course the whole scheme of the work is in accordance with the latest development of chemical science. Of Dr Hucpidge's work, as translator and editor, we can speak in the highest term". His own studies in German laboratories and his intimate acquaintance with the language are a voucher for the accuracy of his translation while the additions he has made— partly in the practical part and partly in theoretical matters-evince sound judgment, and add materially to the value of the work."

THE RADICAL SECTION GIVING…
THE RADICAL SECTION GIVING WAY. The meeting of the Liberal County Asso- ciation held at Lampeter on Tuesday resulted in the withdrawal of the advanced Radicals from the attack upon Mr Pugh. It was evident from the very first that the Member maust have the best of the struggle. By re- signing his seat he threw upon his assailants the onus of taking the initiative, which under existing circumstances placed them in a pecu- liarly difficult position. If the party bad been united Mr Pugh's resignation would have mattered little, for another candidate might have been put into the vacant place; BUT when several candidates were likely to be nominated the position became completely changed. Each section, dissatisfied though it be with Mr Pugh, would accept him in prefer- ence to the nominee of any other section. In this lies Mr Pugh's strength,and also the hope of the party. Once let the Liberals become Openly disunited the Conservatives will have an easy victory. Mr D. Davies has been un- officially invited to give up the Boroughs in order to contest the County, but he is far too cute to do anything of the kind. Colonel Pryse has also been named as a likely can- didate, but old birds are not caught with chaff, and the gallant Colonel knows too much about political wire-pulling to allow himself to be nominated as a champion of a Disunited party. Mr Cobb is ready and wil- ling, and Mr Brigstocke has publicly an- nounced that he is prepared to fight the battle, come when it may. There is also a large section of voters, especially amongst the farmers, who are perfectly satisfied with Mr Pngh, and at the polling booths they cannot The ignored. Under these circumstances, as we have stated, it was almost a certainty that the advanced Radicals and malcontents would have to withdraw from the unwise position into which they bad forced them- selves. It is an easy matter to throw the blame upon Mr Pagh of putting the county to the inconvenience of a contested election, but it is well to bear in mind that Mr Pugh would not have done so had he been treated with the respect due to a Member of Parlia- ment. The Illiberal Club in this town, with its willing scribe, has for a long time indulged in language which no man with self-respect could submit to, and when the opportunity oc- curred Mr Pugh protested in a quiet but very practical manner. And yet it is members of this Club who now wish to blame the hon. Member for doing what every honourable man was bound to do. It is easy to be bold and wise in a room where independence is not permitted, and where only the rlnbmissive are allowed to enter. The mover of the re- solution adopted by the meeting was Dr R. D. Roberts (of Clare College, Cambridge), a gentleman who would not be listened to for a moment if he were a poor man. So far Mr Pngh has scored a point; and I be will continue to score more. In course of time he will resign, unless invited by a sub- stantial number of voters not to do so. The effect of his resignation has been described. There are a few disappointed Radicals who J Would willingly sacrifice the seat to their party, ;&nd hand it over to the Conservatives, by doing so they could gratify their per- sonal feeling; bat the great majority of the electors have no sympathy with such people, and would not. give them any encouragement. Therefore if a rapture is to" be avoided (we (Io not Si>y HEtt we wish it to be avoided), Mr Pugh must be invited not to resign. Cardiganshire, as is well known, i.-s an agricultural and mini tig cjurury, and it might have been expected that the delegates would have comprised a large number of tenant farmers and miners. But it was not so. It suits the Radical agitator admirably to befriend the tenant farmer and the miner and the labourer so long as he is not called upon to do anything on their behalf beside talking. The Radical politician is a great talker. But when an opportunity occurs when the labourer and the miner and farmer can be put into positions of honour or profit, they are entirely forgotten by their Radical patrons. So it proved on this occasion. The farmers were conspicuous by their absence rather than by their presence. In illustration of this it may be stated that the delegates who represented the Aberystwyth district were Mr C. M. Williams, draper Mr Peter Jones, coal merchant; the Rev. J, A. Morris, Baptist minister; Dr. R. D. Roberts (Clare College, Cambridge) Mr D. C. Roberts, timber merchant; and Mr Hall, reporter. Most of these are well-known names, but they are not known to have sacrificed any- thing for the sake of the farmers and miners. It must occur at once to many to ask what had become of Mr John James, and the Revs. T. E. Williams and Job Miles, champions of former days ? Were they absent ? Not a bit of it. At least the two first-named were there, and the latter pro- bably had an engagement which paid him better. As each district was entitled to send only six delegates, it was impossible that these gentlemen could be elected to represent Aberystwyth, and the device was resorted to of palming them off on the Smelting district, Dr. J. M. Jones being also grouped with them. The Talybont district was equally well represented, the number including a draper, a schoolmaster, three Nonconformist ministers, and one farmer-probably a free- holder. Thus North Cardiganshire was re- presented by several tradesmen and ministers, one or two farmers, and no miners, all other interests being also neglected. That is the way the Radicals do it. An incident or two in connection with the meeting will serve to illustrate the Liberal idea of the press and the way it ought to be utilised. A representative of the Aberyst- wytlî. Oh-server, who happened to be at Lam- peter taking a note of the new organ which was being opened that day, and of the ser- vices in connection with the event, was informed by a knight of the quill, with the courtesy which IS invariably shown by press- men one to the other (the exceptions, fortu- nately, are rare), that the political meeting had decided to admit reporters. This infor- mation proved, of course, to be thoroughly reliable, for our representative wended his way up the Town Hall stairs and entered the room in which were assembled the wit and wisdom of the Liberal party in the county, and took a seat, keeping near the door in case of some unforeseen emergency arising. The chair was occupied by Mr Fryer, and there were evidently about sixty delegates present. The business in course of transaction related to the number and names of the delegates, and there seemed to be a suspicion that some place had sent five instead of four, and a heated conversation seemed to be going on as to whether certain offi- cers of distiict branches were entitled to be present at the meeting. Whilst these important mattcTS were under consideration it occurred to our representative that that was a good opportunity for slipping out and paying a second visit to the parish, in order to see how the services were getting on, and also to hear the sweet sounds which flowed forth from the new organ. Consequently this was done, and in course of time he re- turned, and proceeded to make himself com- fortable near the spot which he had formerly occupied, and which was now in the posses- sion of a genial-looking delegate. This was not to be, however, for the keen eve of some gentleman in the room fell upon him, and the owner of the eye at once called attention to the fact that a Conservative was present, presumably with the intention of having him turned out. As the representatives of other newspapers were busily engaged, each in his own way, ours thought he ought to explain that he was there as a newspaper man, and not as a Conservative, and in support of this assertion he drew from his pocket a reporter's note book, rathei a bulky one, and exhibited it to the gaze of the assembly. This appar. eintly satisfied the meeting, and Mr Brigstocke moved that the offending scribe should be permitted to follow his vocation in peace, and this was agreed to. But his presence seemed to have a peculiar effect upon the would-be speakers and legislators, for in a very short time an objection was again raised, and amid the din of many voices it was gleaned that the presence and services of Conservative reporters could be dispensed with, and the Chairman, with his blandest smile and in the most persuasive tones, conveyed to our re- presentative that it was the wish of the meet- ing that he should retire. So gracefully was this done,, and so enthusiastic was the recep- tion given to the departing scribe, that he must have felt like a victor retiring from the scene of a great triumph, as he humbly backed towards the door, rather than like one being ignominioasly turned oat." The other incident is not without its interest. As is well known, the leading members of a. certain Clab have some sort of interest in a certain newspaper. On the previous oceasioa when a Liberal meeting was held at Lampeter, and reporters were ex- eluded, this paper had to concoct a report in the best way it eooM, and the way in which' this was done does not appear to have given universal satisfaction. In order to overcome the difficulties arising from this state of things it was decided to resort to a little subterfuge, which really does credit to its inventors. To secure a full report of the proceedings it was decided that a re- porter of the paper should be anthorised to attend as a delegate. It is true that there might be some slight difficulty about the matter, For instance the reporter might not be a member of the Clab, and possibly I not a county voter. But such trifles are not to be considered when important interests are to be served, and the arrangement jvas I carried out. Odd as it may seem, the good people who were parties to this little arrange- ment were the very onetl who in the meeting I' 0 cycled to the admission of reporters. Of con f'8 they were sure of being themselves reported. Why should others have an j equally good opportunity F Such a thing was not ta ]ae> UiougH of—fit LEAST by ilienu j
,SEASON TRAIN ARRANGEMENTS.…
SEASON TRAIN ARRANGEMENTS. ] When the July time tables are issued it will be found that extensive alterations are made on the Cambrian Railways, the Man- chester and Milford tables remaining un- changed with the probable exception of the evening train leaving Aberystwyth, which may depart a few minutes later, to suit the incoming Cambrian train. On the Cambrian a fast train will arrive at 4.15 from the Manchester and Liverpool districts, and a new train will also reach here at 9.10 p.m. The mail will arrive at 6.25, being half-an-hour later- than at present. In the departure trains there will be several alterations. Passengers will be permitted to book by the goods train leaving at 5.20; the ordinary train will leave at 7.55; a new fast train will leave at 9.10; and a local will leave for Machynlleth at 11.30; and the afternoon train will depart at 4.15 for the coast. The 12.40 and 6.0 trains will run as at present. A special fast train will also leave Aberystwyth on Monday mornings at 6.45, reaching Chester, Manchester, Liver- pool, and other large towns early in the day. Is is to be hoped that these arrangements will not only induce a large number of addi- tional visitors to spend their holidays in Wales, but that they will produce a larger revenue to the railway company.
THE PROPOSED EDUCATION CONFERENCE.
THE PROPOSED EDUCATION CONFERENCE. The proposed conference on higher educa- tion is evidently doomed. The narrowness shown by the Nonconformists has killed it. It is highly improbable that any of the lead. ing men in the Principality will undertake an onerous task, in which they are to be thwarted in every move by people who think more of their own prejudices and parties than of education. Churchmen are satisfied with their existing privileges, and are not likely to take the initiative in securing any further University facilities for Wales.
----PRINCIPAL JAYNE AND THE…
PRINCIPAL JAYNE AND THE PRO- POSED WELSH UNIVERSITY. Principal Jayne availed himself of the opportunity, presented on Thursday, Lampeter College Degree day, to give expression to his own views, which are also doubtless the views of the authorities of the College, with reference to the proposed Conference and the future University. St. David's College, as represented by its friends, is prepared to co-operate with the other Colleges, on fair and equal terms, but not on any other terms. Whilst desirous of giving all support in the movement, it will not put itself out of the way in order to do so. Surely even the most bigotted enemy of St. David's College and of religious education cannot quarrel with that decision.

Keeling, Liverpool, give a scholarship of .£50 each, for five years, tenable at this College. ERRATUM.—In our report of an assault case, Evans v: Jenkins, published in our last issue, Dr Davies is represented to have used the term "scarlet" wound; it should have been "scalp" wound. The marriage of Miss Williams-Wynn, the only surviving child of Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn, Bart., M.P., with her cousin, Mr Herbert Watkin Williams- Wynn, is arranged to take place at the end of August.

DEGREE DAY AT OXFORD.—Degree day took place at Oxford on Thursday week, and among those who took the M.A. we are pleased to find the name of the Rev Enoch Jones, curate of Llandudno, and son of Mr John Jones, Abermagwr, Crosswood. EXCURSIONS.—Cheap trips were made to this town on Wednesday by a Sunday school party from Lam- peter, numbering 80; on Thursday about 200 arrived from Tregaron; Yesterday [Friday] 85 left by the special train for the Good Templars' Festival at Llanidloes. PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.—The annual meeting of the members cf the local branch of this very excellent institution will be held at the Town Hall on Tuesday afternoon, at three o'clock, for the purpose of receiving the report, &c. Mr Morris Davies is the hon. sec. The Observer can be obtained in Aberystwyth, at the Printing Office, 1, North-parade; at Mr J. E. J. Lloyd, stationer, Terrace-road; at Mr Edward Edwards, Great Darkgate-street; at Mr W. Jenkins, bookseller, Great Darkgate-street; and at Messrs W. H. Smith and Son, Railway Bookstall. CARRIAGE ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday evening, while Mr Rees Jones, borough surveyor, and his two lads were driving home from Plynlimon,the horse stumbled and fell when opposite the Black Lion, Llanbadarn. The shafts of the carriage were broken, but fortun. ately the occupants escaped without injury. OTTER HOUNDS.—We are informed that the splendid little pack of otter hounds belonging to the late Colonel Lloyd-Philipps, Mabws, have been sold to Mr E. Carew Gibson, of Little Hampton, Sussex, and were sent away on Wednesday. Great regret is felt throughout the vale of Aeron at the loss of a pack which has afforded many a good day's sport. THE TOWN BAND.-The town band, under the leadership of Mr Handley, commenced its season here on Monday, and the general opinion is that it is superior to that which we had last year. The voca- lists give much satisfaction. It is composed of first violin, Mr Millhouse second violin, Mr S. Richard son clarionet, Mr Bower; Ante, Mr Handley; bass Mr Beeston :and harp, Mr H. Bennett; with Mr and Mrs Astle as vocalists. TEMPERANCE MEETING.—A temperance meeting was held on the Castle Grounds, on Wednesday even- ing, when impressive addressea were delivered in English and Welsh to a large assembly. Mr W. T. Raper, of Cardiff, G.W.C. Templar of the English Grand Lodge of Wales, addressed the meeting in English aud Mr H. J. Williams (Plenydd), G.W.C. Templar of Wales, in Welsh. The addresses were listened to with marked attention. The Temperance Choir sang at intervals; and the meeting was presided over by Alderman Philip Williams. OPEN-ATR SERVICES.—Some of the enthusiastic Nonconformists commenced, on Sunday evening, holding open-air preaching services on the Terraoe. Nothing can possibly be said against any attempt to do good, but it appears to us that if some of the respectable reverend and lay gentlemen who have adopted this method of aiming their eloquence would transfer their energies to the lanes and alleys of the town-where they would come in contact with people who never attend church or chapel-they would be more strictly adhering to the command of the Master whom they are supposed to serve. CAMBRIAN RAILWAYS.—Approximate return of the traffic receipts on the Cambrian Railways for the week ending June 22nd, 1884:—Miles open, 180f. 41 Passengers, parcels, &c., £1,666; merchandise, minerals, and live stock, £ 1,608; total for the week, > £ 3,274.

MISS STEPHENSON'S DRAMATIC COMPANY.—Dur- ing the past week this company have given varied eh. tertainments at the Skating Rink, including Christy Minstrel performances, comic representations, and the eccentric Ollives have exhibited their wondrous gymnastic feats to well-pleased audienees. We un- derstand that Mr Levey, the energetic manager, who has used all his exertions to provide a wholesome entertainment, will shortly take his benefit, and we are pleased to learn that he will be hononred by the patronage of the Masonic brethren and also the Odd- fellows. The programme on that occasion will be a powerful one, and Mr Levey intends to again intro. duce fresh talent of a literary and musical character. Certainly Mr Levey has many claims upon the public of this town and neighbourhood, and we hope that this occasion will result in a brilliant success.

TALYBONT. CHURCH BIBLE CLASS.—The annual meeting for the distribution of prizes to members of this well- attended class was held at the church on Thursday evening week. The class is eonducted by the Rev T. Thomas, the respected curate-in-charge, Messrs W. R.-Jones,J. G. Jones, H. S. Boundy, J. Thomas, Miss IC Jones, and Miss S. Jones, and is one of the most popular institutions in the neighbourhood. Prizes of considerable value are given away every year, but on this occasion they were more valuable than heretofore, and greater interest was taken in the meeting. Foremost amongst those who are en- deavouring to carry on the work are Mr and Mrs Davies, Penpompren, to whom a large share of credit is due for the practical assistance, pecuniarily as well as otherwise, which they rendered in this instance, as well as other times. Preceding the distribution the Rev T. Thomas delivered a telling addnss from the words Search the Scriptures, for in them ye think ye have eternal life," after which Miss Davie?, Pen- pompren, handed over the prizes to the grateful re- cipients, the following being the list:—W.

SCHOOL TREAT.—On Friday week the members of Capel Mair Sunday and day schools and their friends, in all numbering between 300 and 400 persons, were conveyed by special train from Pencader and Now Quay Road Stations to Aberystwyth. The weather was all that could be desired, and one and all en- joyed themselves very much. Afier reaching Aber- ystwyth a procession was formed at the station, headed by the Llysnewydd Brass Band, and marched through the town to the Marine-terruce, where a choice selection of music was rendered by the brass band, whose excellent playing attracted great numbers of the townsfolk. Many thanks are due to those gentlemen who so readily and liberally assisted in procuring the treat, amongst whom w< re Colonel Lewes, Llysnewydd Sir Marteine Lloyd, Batt., Bronwydd; and Capt Tyler, Mount Guernog. LLA NFl H A N GEL. Y C RE U DDYN. The anniversary clerical meetings at Llanfihangel- y-Creuddyn took place on Tuesday and Wednesday.

HOW MANY PEOPLE SUFFER. It is often remarked how many more people than formerly complain of feeling unwell. It is not that there is a greater amount ot contagious diseases afloat, for there is proof that the e«tent and strength of such are far less than of yore, because of better sanitary arrangements and greater attention to cleanliness and other matters. The enormous prevalence cannot be doubted of pains in the back, side, and chest; ener- vated and languid feelings; loss of energy; distress and fulness of the stomach, with often a sense of deadly faintness at its pit, which eating does not stay; sick-headache, so-called biliousness unpleasant breath a sense of weariness when ris- ing in the morning, with an unpleasant taste in the mouth, and loss of appetite, or non-enjoyment of food. These are but the mildest effects of feeling unwell," and yet hew great is the distress and suffering, with hindrance to business and plea- sure, they give rl e to. The cause is not far to seek it lies in the stomach and digestive organs, which have become impaired to the distress of nearly all the other functions of the body Assuredly could the stomach always be kept in well-regulated condition through life. it would tend to far greaier longevity than is now the case. The stomach i« a wheel within whealm and just as an erratic tendency on the part of a small bu still important wheel of a clock leads to the disarrangement of its whole f netion as a time-keeper, so does the failure of so important a wheel as the digestive organs in the mechanism of the human frime throw, by their impaired vigour i r inaction, all the part,, depending on them-and they are legion—out of gear. Just as the wheel of the clock will require to be adju,ted that accurate time may be kept, so must the impaired organs of the stomach be restored to their original vigour. Digestion must be promoted by increasing the flow and strength of the gastric juice, and this I I Seigel's Cmative Syrup" will eifectu- ally do. It will impart strength to the stomach, invigorate the liver and impart tone to the bowels, to the greater enjoyraent of life and health of all who use it; and that it so may be tested by a perusal of the Testimonials in an Almanac, which will be furnished free of charge to any applicant by the Pro- prietors A.

THE COLLEGE PRINCIPALSHIP.
THE COLLEGE PRINCIPALSHIP. To the Editor of the Aberystwyth Observer. Sir,- Will you kindly permit me to suggest; to the Council and Governors of the College that the present is a fitting opportunity for the consideration of a matter of considerable isa- portance to the welfare of the institution ? When the Rev T. C. Edwards was appointed Principal it was distinctly understood that he was to be at liberty to accept preaching engage- ments. He has availed himself so freely of that stipulation that a question has arisen I whether he has not done so to such an extent as to interfere with the discharge of his col- legiate duties. The question has long been the subject of comment throughout the country^ and the opinion of the theological colleges may be inferred from the fact that they are unwil- ling that their students should be partly edu- cated in an institution the Principal of which is one of the active leaders of a particular denomination. Is the present a fitting opportunity for a con- sideration of the question whether the condition above referred to should be continued ? Yours obediently, June 26th. A WELL-WISHER.

MR HENRY RICHARD, M.P. Mr Henry Richard, M.P., was presented on Thursday, at a breakfast party given by Lady Pease, with a cheque for four thousand guineas, contributed by supporters of the Peace Society, ill recognition of his long- continued efforts to promoteits objects.
