THE SWISS VILLAGE BAZAAR AND…
THE SWISS VILLAGE BAZAAR AND FANCY FAIR. Opinions differ as to whether the person or persons ^wlio originated the idea of bazaars should be sainted or not. Certainly the ladies of the present generation 'would be unanimous in conferring honour upon her, lie, or they, who by originating such exhibitions gave simple opportunities for the display of taste, or otherwise, in dress, of ornamentation, and general jhandiwork in all grades and shades of knick-knacker- ies. But on the other hand it is a question with many "whether bazaars in aid of special objects are fair means of procuring funds, inasmuch as they must to a, fjreat extent interfere with the tradesmen of any town. However such a problem we do not now in- tend to discuss, because most systems even in the present advanced age are not without their imperfec- tions, and bazaars at any rate have been made "the means for assisting many excellent and worthy objects. A bazaar is specially the forte of the ladies and children who may be anxious to support some particular form of religion or some particular cause. indeed, as a rule, the ladies are glad of an excuse for a thorough good display in which they can charm and please the sterner sex, and at the same time enrich the funds of any particular institution. The English Presbyterians of this town decided, soon after the advent of the Rev J. Varteg Jones as "pastor, to erect a new organ at an expense of about £ 300, in their church in Newfoundland-street, and also, as soon as funds will permit, to build a new schoolroom adjoining this place of worship. Pre- parations had been going on for months past, and it was intended that the bazaar and fancy fair should equal if not outvie any that had gone before. Whe- ther this ambitious result was fully achieved we are not prepared to say but certainly a good deal was achieved with the aid of extraneous assistance and at considerable cost incurred in procuring Swiss stalls and Swiss scenery from a London firm whose business it is to furnish such equipments. Added to this some of the ladies and friends of the church worked most industriously in providing very pretty, artistic, and in some cases valuable goods wherewith to entice purchasers. The bazaar, which was held in the examination hall of the college, was opened on Monday, at twelve p.m., by the Right Hon. the Countess of Lisburne, among the other patrons being the Mayor and Mayoress, Colonel Pryse, Miss Loveden, Mr R. Davies, M.P., Sir Pryse Pryse, Bart., and Lady Pryse, Sir John Jones Jenkins, M.P., Mr L. P. Pugh, M.P., and Mrs Pugh, the Hon. G. H. P. Evans and Mrs Evans, Mr H. C. Fryer and Mrs Fryer, Capt and Mrs Cosens, Mr Vaughan Davies, and Mr H. P. and Mrs Cobb. The doors were thrown open shortly before the hour announced, and very soon there was a fair sprinkling of visitors, the general impression created by the ap- pearance of the room being one of pleasure. Among the ladies and gentlemen present were the Countess of Lisburne, Lady Constance Lisburne, the Mayor and Mayoress (Mr and Mrs James), Colonel Pryse, Peithyll, Mrs Pugh, Abermaide, Alderman P. and Mrs Williams, the Rev Dr Edwards, Bala College, the I Rev LI. Edwards, M.A., Mr Evan Jones Williams, Mrs Williams, Llanbadarn-road, Mr Rees, North and South Wales Bank, Mrs Richard James, Queen's- xoad, &c. After a pianoforte solo, played by Miss Morris, The Rev J. Varteg Jones, on behalf of the com- -mittee, said that he had great pleasure in presenting to all kindly greetings. They desired to accumulate funds to pay for their new organ and also to build a sehoolroom. The organ might be a luxury, but they ■would all agree with him that the schoolroom was a great necessity (hear, hear). He then enumerated the many attractions which they had provided, and the many attractions which they had provided, and alluded in flattering terms to the presence of the I Countess of Lisburne, whom he requested to open the I the bazaar. The Countess of Lisburne said it gave her great pleasure to assist in such a good work. Everybody I must admire the skill and energy which had devised such an undertaking, especially as this was the first fancy fair of its kind which had been held in Aber- ystwyth. Her ladyship then declared the bazaar open amid much applause. Any attempt at a full description of the room must l>e inadequate from the nature of the varied assort- ment of the goods displayed for sale. The scene re- presented a bazaar in a Swiss village, and the equip- ments, such as scenery, &c., requisite for a repre- sentation of this character, were procured at con- siderable outlay. The room was rather small to set the view off to complete advantage; but nevertheless the effect was picturesque and to a great extent artis- tic. Very many of the attendants at the stalls were attired in a costume which it was said became Swiss females but if the textures requisite to attire the ladies of this unassuming country are as costly as some of those worn on Monday and the following days, then the pockets of Swiss gentlemen must be pro- verbially well filled. The stalls, or rather chalets, were six in number, and besides these were two addi- tional ones, whereupon to display the overplus stock, and another containing flowers, &c., which were also offered for sale. The chalet Mont Blanc was presided over by Mrs T. C. Edwards, Miss Lizzie Roberts, I Bridge-street, Miss Hughes, Portland-street, Miss Ma ggie Jane Jones and Mis3 Anne Jane Edwards, I Terrace-road. The stall contained a combination of most beautifully-worked fancy and useful articles, prominently among which were landscape views and a miscellaneous assortment of all those pretty things usually found on such occasions. Crewel- work, draperies, china, dolls (Welsh and English), and a host of other things were here nicely arranged, -and were calculated soon to meet with a ready sale. Mrs Edwards had also an extra stall, which was pre- sided over by Misses Edwards and Benbow, on which there was again a very nice display of articles of value and beauty. At the chalet St Gothard, Mrs E. Morgan, Mrs Ll. Edwards, Mrs Ellis, Little Darkgate-street, Mrs T. Owen, North-parade, and Miss Ellis were the sales women in the several departments. Mrs Evan Morgan had a large and well-assorted display of ladies clothing, as well as an abundant variety of smaller items, many of them very valuable; among them were some good views, nice Dresden ware, crewel work, baskets, and other articles. Mrs T. Owen also -made a capital display, in the setting out of which good taste was exhibited. Mrs Ellis offered for sale some nicely-worked point lace, views of the college, -handkerchiefs, brackets, crewel work, and many other things too numerous to epitomise. Mrs LI. Edwards exhibited a large and choice selection of antimacassars, inkstands and jars of various kinds also, some very costly rugs (wool, &c.), children's 'dresses, crewel work, and other such items, besides which she had pictures by Dore, valued at fifteen guineas downwards. A rather unique thing on this stall was a representation of a cow, which on being touched would imitate the "moo" with surprising exactness. Of course this wonderful animal was the the cause of much amusement. Mrs Penllyn Jones, Mrs Kensit Jones, Miss F. Jones, Miss Jones, Miss •M. Jones, Miss James, and Miss Benbow overlooked the chalet Simplon, while that of Monte Rosa, also a "part of the same business concern, was more particu- larly under the care of Miss Davies, Sydenham House, and Miss Cissy White. These stalls were by no means the least effective in the" village." Among the many beautiful things here to be seen was a fire screen of arrasene work, all done by hand; it was a representation of apricot blossoms and birds, and certainly was a very handsome article; also, there "was a cushion of similar make and material, chair back, all of which were worked at the Ladies Colle- giate school, and were really works of art; a beauti- ful dinner mat was also worked at the sams school. Then there was an elegant smoking chair, carved in walnut, added to which was a nice fender .stool. These are only a few of the costly articles 011 vipw here, and altogether this was a most attractive exhibition. The flower strtll contained a choice and fragrant assortment of exotic and other plants, most -of which had been presented by the Countess of Lis- buriy>, and were of the finest description and others were from the well-known firm of Dickson & Sons, Chester. Miss Davies, of Sydenham House, had a nice assortment of maeramo work, brackets, and other beautiful ornaments. At the chalet St Bernard the attendants were Mrs E. H. James, Mrs Edwin Jones, J^iss Jenkins, Bridge-street, Mrs John Owen, Penglais-^oad, Miss Lillie Jenkins, Swansea, Miss Jenkins, the Misses Jame^, Dolybont, and Miss Anna Joieg. Mrs Evan Hugh James showed some exquisite articles in children's dresses, dolls of every description,and other beautiful articles- Mrs E. Jones had -s„lso a nice assortment of china, Welsh dolls, and sgme things of a useful as wen as orna- mental character. Miss Jenkins and Mrs Owen were offering articleg to suit the capacity of all customers, %J1 of which were admired, Wo should have men- tioned that Mr.s 3s. H. James had for disposal some ncyel and yet handsomely made milking stools, and a yery handsome dinner screen on a brass stand, as W:,ell as some handsomely stuffed birds. D. Lloy/l, with whom were Miss S. A. Jones, Miss J. Jones, Miss Evans, .Miss E. Lloyd, Miss Benbow, 'and Miss <3yen, presided &ver chalet Jnngfrauhorn, awl afforded ^capital display of goods, some of which were of £ ae description. The refresh- men^TS chalet Leuegrne, was presided over by £ he Mayoress and the Misses Davies, and contained delicacies ot_|very description. We know that the Mayor and Mayoress spared no expense in proving thenjselves excellent caterers:, find we are pleased to fidd that a good stroke of business was done here. Immediately tl:c bazaar was declared open, the jioble Countess set to work with a will, and with tho assistance of Miss Cissy White bogltIl disposino- of beautiful bouquets of flowers, which were readily purchased. Her ladyship also visited the various atalladuriligtho afternoon, and purchased largely, thus showing very practical sympathy with tho < b- ject of the effort being made. In addition uo bazaar entertainments were provided, s ic a gallery of art, many of the pictures coming f gallery of the late Mr G. E. J. Powell, Nant Eos, magnetism, panorama of Egypt and the Soudan, tableaux vivaut, marionettes, a living mummy, and a fine art parody gallery, a small charge being made for admission to each of them. During each day, songs were sung by Miss Annie Williams, London, Miss Price, R.A.M., Messrs D. Jenkins, M.B., T. Maldwyn Evans, and a glee party gave some glees. The attendance on the first day was good, and about X170 was taken at the different stalls. On Tuesday, the sale was opened by Mr John James, mayor, who remarked upon the success which had been achieved on the previous day, and trusted that the good work would continue on the following two days, so that the object of the promoters might be attained. The attendance during the day was not large, but in the evening the room became crowded, and the stall holders had a brisk time of it. The pro- ceeds of the day amounted to upwards of < £ 80. On Wednesday, Colonel Pryse was expected to have opened the proceedings, but a letter was re- ceived from him stating that an unexpected call else- where prevented his fulfilling the engngement. The Rev J. Varteg Jones, therefore, formally declared the bazaar open, and the sale of work was again com- menced, of which there was still a large quantity re- maining on hand. ABERYSTWYTH BOARD OF GUARDIANS. The fortnightly meeting of the board was held in the boardroom of the union workhouse on Monday. Present—Mr H. C. Fryer (in the chair) Mr Morris Davies (vice-chairman); Messrs Hugh Hughes, Glyn- padarn; S. Davies, Glanyrafon: James Jones, Llwyn- glas Richard Richards, Gwarfelin John Jenkins, Aberystwyth; T. Smith, Gelmast; Rev J. T. Griffiths, Llanilar; Messrs David Jones, Rest John Edwards, Rhiwlas; Thomas Jones, Cwmere Richard Hughes, Cefnhendre, D. S. Davies; Hugh Hughes, clerk. THE HOUSE. The Master reported that during the past fortnight there was one admitted, and seven discharged, leav- ing 88 in the house, being a decrease of one on the corresponding fortnight of last year. The number of paupers relieved was 25, being a decease of four on the corresponding fortnight of last year. FINANCE. The following out-relief was administered during the past fortnight:—Aberystwyth district, per Mr John Jones, Commerce House, £ 35 18s, to 165 paupers; Geneu'rglyn district, per Mr John D. Jones, .£52 Is, to 217 paupers Ilar district, per Mr Joseph Morgan, £ 47 17s 6d, to 171 paupers. The amount in the bank was shown to be .£192 5s. THE BERKSHIRE RELIEF SYSTEM. A letter was read from the clerk to the Machynlleth union on the subject of vagrancy. The question had been brought before the Machynlleth board on the previous Wednesday, when it was stated that great inconvenience ensued by the Aberystwyth union not having adopted the Berkshire system. The Chairman said it was a question which they had mooted once or twice, but the board thought it would be quite useless for them to adopt it until it had some continuity, and they had been waiting to see how it worked. He saw by the discussion at the Machynlleth board the difficulty was to find out where a man came from,because as a matter of course if they had no tickets they told the master of the workhouse that they came from Aberystwyth. But if they adopted the suggestion of the Machynlleth board they would be in the same difficulty unless Aber.ayron and Tregaron did the same. He suggested that they should bring the matter on at the Quarter Sessions and ask the guardians to meet at Aberyst- wyth and discuss the whole question; and to meet the difficulty at Machynlleth they might supply the vagrants with tickets to take away with them. Mr Morris Davies agreed with the suggestion to bring the matter before the Quarter Sessions, and this was decided upon. INVITATION TO WORKHOUSE CHILDREN. Mrs Pugh, Abermaide, wrote asking the board to allow the workhouse children to pay their annual visit to Abermaide on Friday. Granted.
7HE COLLEGE.
7HE COLLEGE. The council of the college met on Thursday week, at Lonsdale Chambers, under the presidency of Lord Aberdare. The following members were present:— Messrs L. P. Pugh, M.P., Love Jones-Parry, M.P., Morgan Lloyd, M.P., Lewis Morris, M.A., Stephen Evans, J.P., Professor Stuart, of Cambridge, A. C. Humphreys-Owen, Captain Verney, R.N., J. Foulkes Roberts, Manchester, J. Jenkins, Llanidloes, Rev W. Hawker Hughes, Principal Edwards, W. Williams, H.M. Inspector, Jonathan Pell, David Jones, J. B. Rogers, secretary, and others. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read and confirmed, the council proceeded to con- sider the expediency of asking the Government to commute their offered grant of £ 2,500 a year for five years, to one of .£4,000 for three years. After a lengthened discussion the following resolution was proposed by Mr L. P. Pugh, M.P., seconded by Mr Morgan Lloyd, M.P. :—It being essential to the fair trial of the College at Aberystwyth that it should be placed on conditions in all respects as favourable as those under which the Colleges at Cardiff and Bangor are being carried on, and it being the opinion of the council that both with regard to the amount of grant and limitation as to time that the existing conditions are highly unfavourable to the College at Aberys- twyth, the council beg once more to submit to Her Majesty's Government that both equal justice and the interest of Higher Education in Wales make it expedient that a yearly grant of £ 4,000 should be made on the same conditions as those to the Colleges of Bangor and Cardiff, it being understood that a parliamentary grant is always dependent upon the extent and success of the work in respect of which it is made. The resolution having been adopted, it was re- solved :—That Mr Pugh be requested to forward it to the President and Vice-president of the Council, and to ask them to receive a deputation including all the members of Parliament, who signed the memorial (presented last March) together with the members of the council and other gentlemen interested in the subject, and that copies of the resolution be also forwarded to Mr Gladstone and Mr Childers. It was further resolved :—That the consideration of the commutation of the grant be postponed until the Government's reply ha3 been received. On the motion of Mr Morgan Lloyd, seconded by Mr Stephen Evans, the following resolution was cordially passed :—That the thanks of the council be given to Lord Aberdare, Mr Stuart Rendel, M.P., Mr Lewis Morris, Judge B. T. Williams, and Mr David Davies, M.P., in connection with the application to the Government for a grant to the Aberystwyth College, the council fully recognising that they did all in their power to obtain a grant which would place the Aberystwyth College on an equal footing with the other colleges. <> The report of the staff committee, recommendin0, the appointment of an assistant lecturer in Greek and Latin, an assistant lecturer in French and German and a lecturer in physics was adopted. Reference was made to the death of the Rev Mark Pattison, B.D., late rector of Lincoln College, and Lord Aber- dare undertook to convey to Mrs Pattison and the members of family, the sympathy of the council under their bereavement. The deceased gentlemen was for many year3 an active member of the council, and took a deep interest in the question of Welsh edu- cation generally. A committee was appointed to consider the question of completing the college build- ing-, and to report theron to the council.

LAMPETER.
LAMPETER. PETTY SESSIONS.—On the 1st instant, at the Town Hall, before Messrs William Jones and JohnFowden, John Thomas alias Jack Captain, was brought up on remand, in custody of Sergt Lyons, charged by Mr John Jordan Jones, of Rhydygof, auctioneer, with having, on the 19th ultimo, at Derry Ormond, fraudulently obtained from him the sum of 10s. Prisoner, upon the occasion in question, represented himself as a bailiff in charge of certain effects belong. ing to an insolvent debtor at Eowa, Pencarreg, and said that he was deputed by a solicitor at Llandovery to have the effects sold by auction. He showed a catalogue of the things to be sold, and said that he was short of money to go to Carmarthen. He would employ Mr Jordan Jones as auctioneer, and return the 10s after the auction. It was shown that no such sale was to come off, and that prisoner was not authorised to hold such sale. Committed for trial at Quarter Sessions.-The prisoner was charged by Mr Jenkin Davies, of Sarnllus, Llanfair, farmer, with obtaining 10s from him at Sarnllus, on the 22nd ult., under false pretences. He was also committed for trial at the sessions on this charge. SUICIDE.-On the 2nd instant, at Bridge-street, an Inquest was held before Dr Eowland, coroner, touching the death of Eleanor Davies, dressmaker, who for some years rented a room from Daniel Jones, carpenter, Bridge-street. From the evidence adduced it was shown that deceased was not seen from the evening of the 30th ult. till the evening of the 1st instant, when her body was found hanging from her bedpost in her room in Bridge-street. Life appeared to have been extinct for several hours, as decomposi- tion had set. The jury returned a verdict of death through hanging while labouring under temporary insanity.

ABERDOVEY VISITORS.—The town is full of visitors. PUBLICANS LICENSES.—On Tuesday evening a meeting was held in the schoolroom of the Indepen- dents to consider the best way to petition the magis- trates respecting the granting of licenses to public houses that are not wanted or are improperly con- ducted. The Vicar was in the chair. Present- Messrs J. H. Jones, W. Jones, Rev J. Rowlands, D. Lloyd, H. Pugh, and Evans (deputation). ST. PETER'S SUNDAY SCHOOL.—On Thursday, the 31st ult., the above Sunday school had their annual treat, and the place where they had selected to enjoy their day's outing was Newtown. All as- sembled at the railway station in good time awaiting the arrival of the train from Towyn, which was due at 8.20 a.m. The morning was rather gloomy, but as the day advanced it cleared up so that by the time we reached Newtown station, it was as bright and clear as any one desired. Here was Mr Pryce Jones, Dolerw's brass band awaiting our arrival. After forming ourselves into marching order we proceeded, headed by the band, to the Church, where the Rev Pugh Morgan, vicar of Kerry, owing to the absence of the vicar of the parish, conducted a short service. Then we proceeded in the same order to Dolerw, where we were met and welcomed by Mr Pryce Jones. After a few words had passed between 3Ir J. Lloyd- Tamberlain, the Vicar and others and Mr Jones, Mr Lloyd-Tamberlain proposed tI. vote of thanks to Mr Jones in a very able speech, and the vicar, Rev E. T. Davies,seconded very appropriately. Mr Jones ably replied, and said at the close of his speech that the gardens and grounds were all open for us as well as the house, if any one desired it; also that he had telephoned to his manager at the warehouse to see that any and everyone from Aberdovey that day who might wish to see the warehouses, &c., through, every kindness should be shown to them, and the people of Aberdovey will never forget the great kind- ness of Mr and Mrs Jones. Indeed the kindness did not end with the heads of the family, but Miss Jones and Captain Jones, with the junior division, did all they could to make us happy for the day. In the afternoon we had a game of cricket, Aberdovey versus Newtown, Mr J. Lloyd-Tamberlain being the captain of the Aberdovey team, and Captain Jones, Dolerw, of the Newtown. During the cricket play- ing Mr and Mrs Pryce Jones with Miss Jones amused the young ones by throwing money for them to run after, and also for running and other kinds of games. All assembled in the same room as the dinner was provided, to partake of tea. Towards seven in the evening we wended our way to the station, and arrived at Aberdovey by 9.30 p.m., after an excellent outing.

PONTRHYDYGROES. FIRE.-About three o'clock on the morning of Saturday, the stable, hay shed and cart house belong- ing to Mr Thomas Davies, blacksmith and carrier, of the above village, were discovered to be on fire. A neighbour, living on the opposite side of the river, first gave the alarm, and in a short time large num- bers of the villagers were congregated to render every assistance in their power but the flames were not extinguished before the buildings were almost burned out. The cause of the fire is unknown, but it is be- lieved to have resulted from accident. The premises were insured.

DEATH IN THE ]3 .\.THS.
DEATH IN THE ]3 .THS. On Wednesday afternoon an inquest was held at the Town Hall, touching the death of a young man named Thomas Thomas, of Porth, South Wales, a visitor to this town, who had died very suddenly under peculiar circumstances while bathing at the public baths. The inquiry was held before Mr W. H. Jones, deputy coroner, and the following jurymen —Messrs J. B. Jones, Terrace-road, foreman; John Jones, Commerce House Robert Peake, Newfound- land-street John Edwards, Terrace-road Thomas Garner, Terrace-road; E. P. Taylor, Terrace-road; J. P. Lewis, Penglaise-road John Edwards, Great Darkgate-street; — Ravenhill, Queen's-road; Joseph Evans, Laura-place; Thomas Williams, Terrace-road; and William Morris, North-parade. Mr J. T. Jenkins appeared on behalf of the baths company. The following was the evidence given :— Thomas Davies said he lived at Cwmaman, near Aberdare, and was a collier. He first knew deceased on Monday night, as they were lodging in the same house at 29, Queen-street. On Wednesday morning they went for a walk together with a man named John Lewis as far as the Terrace, and from there to the baths in Newfoundland-street. They all undressed and went into the shallow end. Deceased could not swim, and having been there about ten minutes, witness, who was standing close beside deceased, the latter being just on the steps, saw him suddenly fall sideways, as if in a fit. Witness immediately went to his assistance, and caught hold of him. He said nothing, nor made no noise. He was not more than a second in the water, before witness caught him. With help he was lifted out, and a doctor sent for. Did not know whether he was subject to fits. By Mr Jenkins When he fell his head was most part out of the water. The depth of the water was not two feet, and it was not through a slip that he fell. John Lewis, Cwmaman, collier, gave corroborative evidence, and said deceased was not under the water at all. Dr Harries deposed to being called to the baths that morning, where he saw a man lying on the tiles alongside the bath. He had the appearance of being dead. Artificial means were applied to restore anima- tion until he found it was quite useless. From the evidence already given, witness said it was impossible that deceased could have been drowned. He could not say the actual cause of death. Witness's opinion was that he died from heart disease. The jury returned a verdict of death from natural causes.

LLAFLRHYSTYD.
LLAFLRHYSTYD. On Friday afternoon, July 25th, the Llanrhystyd National school children, through the liberal kindness of the Misses Lewis, Rhiwgoch, and Mrs Evans, the Vicarage, partook of an excellent tea and cake, in a field adjoining Rhiwgoch. The above ladies have always taken the greatest interest in the school children, as has been shown by them on more than one occasion. The school fife and drum band was in attendance, and played in a manner that reflects great credit on their conductor, Mr J. Richards, and to the entire satisfaction of all present. After the children had done ample justice to the tea and cake, a great number of them joined in harmless sports, such as jumping, running, &c., and the afternoon being de- lightfully,fine they all enjoyed themselves thoroughly. There was a large company present, among whom we noticed the Rev T. Evans and Mrs Evans, the Vicarage; the Misses Lewis and Revs J. and L. Lewis, Rhiwgoch; Rev J. Lloyd and the Misses Lloyd, Llan- ddeinol Mrs Baldwin and Miss Wharton, Carrog Mrs Evans and the Misses Evans, Pentre Rev D. Jones and J. Sinnett Jones. After our worthy Vicar had thanked the ladies in very suitable terms, the children, headed by the band, were marched up to the front of Rhiwgoch, where they each received some more cake and then left for their homes joyfully.
BETHANIA.
BETHANIA. POLITICAL MEETING.—An enthusiastic political meeting was held on the 31st ultimo, at Bethania, near Llanrhystyd, to consider the present position. Among those present were:—Mr James James, Ffynon Howel Revs J. Morgan, Rhiwbwys Evan Evans, Pennant; William Jones, Bontsaeson David Jones, Penuwch David Evans, Lledrod David Davies, Bethania Messrs David Samuel, M.A.; Richard Richards, B.A.; J. Davies, Shop; J. Jones, Tyllwyd Isaac Morgans, Nantcoi Rowland Ellis Edward Lloyd, Tanyfron Alban Lloyd, Adsolwen Ebenezer Morris and Lloyd Morris, Llanon William Edwards, Bryneithyn; Davies (now of London); David Morgans, Penlan; and D. Morgan James. Mr James, Ffynon Howel, was appointed chairman. The Rev William Jones proposed That we protest against the conduct of the House of Lords in reject- ing the Franchise Bill and deem that reform in the constitution of the House should be so brought about as to prevent the recurrence of a similar result, and if it cannot be reformed to abolish it." It was se- conded by Mr Jones, Tyllwyd, and supported by the Rev Evan Evans. The second resolution That we have the greatest confidence in Mr Gladstone's Government, and approve of his intention to call Parliament together in the autumn for the purpose of sending the bill once again to the House of Lords, and call upon him to use all the means in his power to pass the bill before appealing to the country, as the matter has been sufficiently before the country during the last election," was moved by Mr Samuel. This was seconded by Mr Davies (London), and supported by Mr Edward Lloyd, Tanyfron. The third resolu- tion, That we protest against the recent ungentle- manly attack of some Liberals at Lampeter upon Mr Pugh, as we know that those meetings did not repre- sent the voice of the county on the questions raised," .y was moved by the Rev John Morgan. This was seconded by Mr Davies, Shop. The Rev Evan Evans, proposed That we earnestly beg Mr Pugh to con- tinue as our representative, and we are strongly of opinion that there is no other candidate more fit and more likely to win our battle at the next general election than our present member." This was seconded by Mr Morgan. The next resolution "That we send a pressing invitation to Mr Pugh to come through the county to address his constituents" was moved by Mr Richard Richards, B.A. This was seconded by the Rev David Evans, and supported by the Rev David Davies. The chairman proposed the sixth resolution, which was as follows That we consider it desirable to form a new Liberal association for the county independently of the boroughs." The principle of the resolutions were heartily approved by the meeting, after which a vote of thanks to the chairman was proposed by the Rev Evan Evans, and seconded by Mr James Jones, and this terminated the proceedings.

'THE REV. CHANCELLOR PHILLIPS…
THE REV. CHANCELLOR PHILLIPS ON FREE READING ROOMS. At a bazaar in aid of the funds of the Solva Free Reading Room, held last week, the Rev. Chancellor Phillips spoke at considerable lensrth on the subject of Free Reading Rooms and Public Libraries, and made some exceedingly valuable suggestions. He said that the people of Solva had done what many large towns had failed to do—to establish for them- selves a free reading room—and he described the difficulties he encountered at Aberystwyth, where there was now a large public library, which had grown from a small reading room. He spoke of the necessity of providing reading matter for children when they left school, so that they should not forget what they had learnt, and increase their knowledge. Once the habit of reading had been acquired it would prove a very great blessing to the individual and would be a source of happiness to him under every variety of circumstances. The rev. gentleman con- cluded a very instructive speech by expressing the hope that the reading room committee would be en- abled to build a room for themselves and soon possess a well-stocked library, and by congratulating the committee and the secretary upon their energy and its results. The success of the reading room and the success of the bazaar was entirely due to their energy. He hoped that the reading room already established and the library he could already see with his mind's eye would prove a blessing to the community.
A WELSH SCULPTOR.
A WELSH SCULPTOR. The Art Journal for August contains a fine steel engraving of a piece of sculpture from the hand of Mr J. Milo Griffith, an artist well known in Cardiff, many of whose works are now in the Cardiff Museum. The subject chosen by the Art Journal for its illus- tration is Summer Flowers," a piece of work now in the possession of Mr C. R. N. Talbot, of Margam Park. In describing the work, the Art Journal says: —"The figure, in which the sculptor has expressed the blossoming of midsummer, is remarkable as a very successful attempt to combine an ideal and alle- gorical motive with realistic detail. Like the clever monumental artists of Italy, who have filled the Campo-Santo of Genoa with pathetically naturalistic effigies, arranged in the night-dresses and lying on the pillow-cases of actual death-beds, Mr Griffith has not hesitated to make his marble present the mys- teries of modern frills and the head of his statue has almost the air of a portrait, the features and the arrangement of the hair having nothing of Greek traditions. The subject is a charming one, combining as it does the riches of July roses with the fulness of ripe and beautiful youth, and Mr Griffith has treated it with a certain frank simplicity. The attitude which he has chosen shows no research, and no effort after gracefulness, for which fact its lines will be the more pleasing in many eyes."

A NONCONFORMIST MINISTER ON…
A NONCONFORMIST MINISTER ON THE CHURCH. The Rev T. H. Williams, a Nonconformist minis- ter, responding to a toast, at an Oddfellows' anniver- sary at Welshpool, last week, said that with regard to the Bishop and Clergy of the diocese, he might say that he yielded to no one in that room in his pro- found admiration for the Established Church (loud cheers). Although rocked in the cradle and dangled in the lap of Nonconformity, he had always learned to venerate the matchless Litany, the sanctified learning, and the grand history of the Church of England (loud cheers). It was a grand history. It had seen the birth and death of many systems of I, philosophy. It had seen empires and kings dis- appear and vanish in the shadows of the past: and whatever happened in the future he trusted that— they would believe him to be sincere in what he said —nothing would happen that would damage the influ- ence of that greatest and grandest religious institu- tion in the world (hear, hear, and loud cheers). How- ever, it was hardly necessary for him to praise the Church of England in Welshpool. He begged to thank them for the manner in which they had re- ceived the toast of ministers of other denominations -(hear, hear)-the weaker brethren (lausrhter and applause). Those who, as a rule, were of slow speech and stammering tongue. Those who, as a rule, were like the farmer's cow, grazinsr on the top of the hill—they had a poor pasture, but a fine pros- pect (loud laughter). However, he thanked them for the manner in which they had received the toast. He knew very well that some of them were of opinion that they poor Dissenting preachers took no interest in the social life of the nation (" No, no."). They said those ministers promised them splendid things in another world, but they wanted to make people long-faced and miserable in this world. If such had been the case in the past, he was glad to say that it was not so in the present. It was the duty of every minister of the Gospel to look after the physical and social wants of the people, of course not forgetting their spiritual wel- fare. The Gospel was all very well in its place, but it would not satisfy an empty stomach. They had read of the gentleman who was crossing the ferry. He said to the boatman, "Do you understand Geography?" The boatman replied "No, indeed." The gentleman said What a pity there's a quarter of your life lost." The gentleman then asked "Do you know anything about Astronomy :j" The poor boatman knew nothing about that either, and the gentleman exclaimed Then there's half of your life gone. "Do you understand Geology?" was the next question, and the boatman signified his ignorance of that science too. The gentleman gravely said "Then there's three-fourths of your life lost." By-and-by over went the boat, and the boatman asked "Can you swim?" "No," answered the gentleman. "Well," said the boatman, "there's the whole of your life gone." (Laughter.) They knew that Geology and Astronomy were very well in their places, but when the boat was upset the one thing needful was the power to swim: and he trusted they would not forget the more important and the minor duties of life. They as members of that Society were preparing for a rainy day; they believed in the glorious privilege of being independent. He again thanked them for the hearty manner in which they had received the toast. He hoped the day was not far distant when all those religious differences would disappear; when one would say to another" I am as thou art: I am for making all men greater, nobler, and happier; give me thy hand." (Loud cheers.)

ABERYSTWYTH COUNTY COURT.
ABERYSTWYTH COUNTY COURT. The monthly sitting of this court was held at the Town Hall on Thursday, before Mr Judge Gwilym. Williams. A long list of judgment summonses were first dis- posed of. J. E. THOMAS V. EDGAR ATWOOD.—Mr J. T. Jen- kins appeared for plaintiff. He said this case came on for hearing in June last, when he put the plaintiff in the box and made out his case. and he believed his Honour said that he was satisfied. Mr Atwood, through his solicitor, set up a counter claim against the plaintiff, exceeding the present claim. After considerable argument, his Honour granted an ad- I journment, and allowed defendant to file a bill of particulars on condition that he would pay the costs of the day. Defendant had neither filed the bill of particulars of the counter claim, nor had he paid the costs of the day. The defendant submitted that an arrangement had been made between his solicitor (Mr Joseph Evans) and Mr Smith, one of the firm representing the plain- tiff, that this matter should be referred, but no re- ferees had been appointed, and nothing had been done. Mr Smith was sent for, and denied that any such arrangement was entered into. His Honour gave judgment for the amount claimed. —= £ 4 12s 2d—for professional services rendered. EJECTMENT. Eleanor Lloyd, Bridge-street, sued Thomas Lloyd, Hafod Newydd, Pontrhydygroes, for possession of certain land held by him. Mr J. T. Jenkins appeared for plaintiff, and the defen hnt consented to an order of ejectment in a month. AN ACTRESS'S CLAIM. PENDRELL v. LEVEY.—Mr J. T. Jenkins appeared for plaintiff, an actress, who sued the defendant for £ 6 17s 2d, salary due for professional services ren- dered at the Bijou Theatre. She was engaged at a s3.1ary of 30s a week. Defendant did not appear, and Mr Hugh Hughes, who had given notice of defence, said he had received no instructions, and he believed defendant was on his way to America. Judgment was given for the amount claimed. THE PRICE OF SEA BOOTS. MORRIS V. JONES.—This was a claim for -61 7s for materials and loss occasioned owing to defendant failing to make a pair of sea boots.—Mr Hugh Hughes appeared for plaintiff, who is a currier carry- ing on business in North-parade, and the defendant David Jones, is a shoemaker, living in Chalybeate- terrace. The plaintiff stated that when ships were leaving for South America he was in the habit of sending a lot of boots for sale on arrival, and he en- trusted material to defendant to make up a pair of sea boots on the understanding that they should be made up by a certain date. The price of boots was £ 1 5s which he sent by captains in his each- ploy, by which he made 8s profit, and sometimes got double the price at Buenos Ayres. Plaintiff went and claimed the material, when defendant threatened to knock him with the hammer. Defendant made a long statement, in which he said that he worked for Mr Rees Peters, and consented to make the boots in his spare time. He denied that he agreed to make them in a given time, as he could not do so. Plaintiff only paid 3s for making these boots, whereas 5s 6d was the price paid by others. The plaintiff never told him that he wanted the boots to go by a certain vessel. The fact was that this case was brought because he (defendant) was now a sober man, and was not beneath him, and plaintiff had threatened to humble him again. Stephen Wilson, a shoemaker, was called for plain- tiff, but his evidence was directly in favour of defen- dant. John Morris, an assistant to plaintiff, also gave evidence. His Honour held that these were odd jobs given to the defendant to make in his spare time, and he should only make an order for defendant to give up the boots. AN APPLICATION. Mr Hugh Hughes made an application on the part of Mrs Boundy, of Goginan, for the sanction of the court to sell furniture worth about -640, which was given to her son under her husband's will. The son was a child of eleven or twelve years of age, and since his father's death Mrs Boundy had married her de- ceased's husband's brother, who had now settled in South America, who had sent for her, and she wished to join him. It would be for the benefit of the infant to accompany his mother, and he quoted an "opinion" of Mr Willis Bund in favour of the application being granted. His Honour made the required order. GOODS SOLD, &C. DAVID DAVIES V. MARY MORGAN.—The plaintiff, who lives at Ystrad Meurig, claimed X5 28 8d for goods sold and delivered; but in the amount there were several items for interest and damages by sheep trespassing. The amount owing for goods really was X2 4s 4d. Mr Hugh Hughes appeared for defendant, and elicited that 10s had been paid, reducing the claim to .8114s 4d which had been paid into court. The de- fendant was from Gwnnws Lower. Judgment for plaintiff for the amount paid into court. EDWARD EVANS, shopkeeper, Talybont, sued MARGARET JONES, widow, Tanycoed, Talybont, for £ 5 15s 7d, for goods sold and delivered. Mr J. T. Jenkins appeared for plaintiff, and Mr Hugh Hughes for defendant. Judgment for plaintiff. A SOLICITOR AND HIS CHARGES. J. H. EAVENHILL V. LEWIS MORGAN and WIFE. -Mr J. T. Jenkins appeared for plaintiff, and Mr Atwood for defendants. It was a claim for X6 7s 8d for professional services rendered. The plaintiff appeared for the defendants who were defendants in an action of ejectment brought against them by Sir Pryse Pryse, Bart. In cross-examination, witness denied that he agreed to accept £1 in discharge of this debt. He had re- ceived.;Cl 4s on account, leaving the balance now sued for. When the case was disposed of, witness offered to accept 10s. in payment of his claim; but that sum was never paid, and therefore he thought it was not binding. Mrs Morgan was called and said plaintiff agreed to take the work for £ 1; and the 24s was paid on account of his having to send to the Court of Chancery in reference to the will of her husband's grandfather. It was at Mr Hughes's office that Mr Eavenhill asked for another 10s, and her husband and her told him that they had paid him enough already. His Honour gave judgment for plaintiff for 10s. SOLICITOR V. SOLICITOR. J. H. EAVENHILL V. EDGAR ATWOOD.—Mr Jenkins again represented plaintiff, and Mr Hughes for defendant. This was a claim for C4 19s 6d for services rendered. His Honour thought that such such cases as these ought to be heard in camera. It was a reflection upon the profession, and he suggested that they should do these things as quiet as possible. Mr Ravenhill said that he was an old practitioner at this court, and a solicitor on the rolls for 44 years. He was in Mr Atwood's office as managing clerk, and defendant had thrown out that he had received moneys belonging to him, and therefore he was not indebted to him. Mr J. T. Jenkins Insinuations have been thrown out on one side and the other. The Judge Don't let it be made public if you can help it. I will hear it in camera, or do anything you like. Mr Atwood I wrote this letter to Mr Eavenhill asking him to refer it. Mr Jenkins We were willing until you made some remarks. Mr Atwood: I never said anything. The Judge: All imputations, if made, are withdrawn; it is now simply a question of t4 7s 6d. Mr Atwood I assure you I have made no insinua- tions. The Judge I shall refer it to Mr Davies.
