OVT-REXIEP.—The Clerk reported the fnliowin* sums to have been paid during the past week in out- relief :—Aljerdare, JS73 19s. Gelligaer, E30 19s. 9d. Merthyr Lower, £68 17s. 5d.

The balance in hand, after paying the extra relief ordered by the la-t meetiu^ of the Board, was E48 15s. 8d., and a cheque for £ 310 was ordered to be drawn. THE PII.V-ALi.N,r DISTRESS. — Tho Cierk raid a circular letter from the Local Government Board, urging upon the Guardians to provide work for the unemployed, and suggesting eo-operatiou in this respect with the District Council.—Mr. Evan Lewis stated that on the previous day a number of respect- able working men callcd upon him, aud anked if he could give them (something in the shape of relief. Tiiey wanted to know if the Guardians would bo able to assist them without their becoming iiauptsrs. The men were willing to work if they couid find it, and the question of wagoa would not be taken into eon- mderation, provided they had something to exist til>on urtil tno weather broke up. They were masons I and mason's labourers by profession, and he promised to bring the matter before the Guardians and the District Council when they met. Unless something could lie done for thevo men they would suffer a great deal through privation.—The Rev. Canon Wada said there was a great deal of verv dire poverty in the district, and he would move that tbo suggestion to act in union with the District Council be acted upon, and that the Clerk be instructed to write to the District Council asking if they could find anything for the^e men to do now they were out of employ- ment.—Mr. D. Davies thought that th* District Council would have received a similar eimuar from the Local Govemmeut Board, and that there was no necessity for writing the letter. Mr. H. P. D. Phillips seconded the motion, and said there were a number of men and Bargoed and lower down who were suffering acutely. These j»ople had laree families, and tney preferred not going into the Work- house, although they were as Kidly off as ceuld be. Ho would be glad' if the Golligaer District Council could do something as well.—The motion was carried unanimously, and the clerk was ordered to communi- cate with every District Council witbm the Union. THK BATH MINKKAL WATERS.—On the motion of Mr. Evan Lewis, the Guardians agreed to subscribe five guineas annually towards t'no support of the Mineral Water Bath at Bath, so that they might have the privilege of sending patients there if required. THE TiufHARRIS REGISTRAR.-—IN accordance with notice, Mr. John Edwards moved that the clerk be instructed to have the oftiee of the Itegistrarof Births and Deaths at Treharris removed to a more central position. This was seconded by Mr. E. Edwards, and position. This was seconded by Mr. E. Edwards, and earned. VOTE or CONDOLENCE.— Mr. I). Davies moved a vote of condolence with the widow and family of the late Mr. Henry Lewis upon the loss they had sus- tained in their sad liereavement. Mr. Davies said he had known Mr. Lewis for » mimlmr of yearn as an upright and conscientious man, and the town would lose considerably by his death.—Mr. Evan Lewis seconded, and paid they all regretted the loss of Mr. Lewis from amongst them. He was so greatly respected that his funeral vas one of the largest he (the speaker) had seen in Merthyr for many yeans. He was sorry to have to second this vote of condo- ence with the family of a boi-oin friend and a trusty adviser as Mr. Lewis bad atall times proved himself to be.—The vote having hcen passed in silence, the Chairman gave notice that lie would move the appoint- ment of a successor to the late Mr. Lewis as stock- taker to the Board that day fortnight. THE DIET Of THE CHUUHEN.—The Clerk said he had communicated with Dr. Ward relative to the notice given bv Mrs. M. Williams, and Dr. Ward had replied that he hal given instructions to the master of the woTkhou?eto take care that the children had "milk and warlll Water aud not milk and coM water.— Mrs. Williams said that when she the notice she had nothing to complain of the treatment of children at the workhouse, but referred more par- ticularly to the Industrial School where she knew the children had cold water. She did not think that it was right they should ha. vc it for breakfast or supper during this cold wetther. If her suggestion were carried out they would be satisfied.—The Rev, Canon Wade said that the committee of the Industrial School would go into the dietary question on Wed- day, when the matter raised by Mrs. Williams would b« duly considered. THK RASTER'S* RRPOKT.—Mr. r. Pearcey, the Master of the Woifcbouee, reported that during the week he had admilted 47 j)ei-sons, and discharged 20. One had been bonj and the had died. The number at present in the louse was 409, as compared with 523 during the corresponding week of last year. ATTEMPTED StICIDE,-It was reported that ou Tuesday morning an aged patient named John Jones, in the last stag* of consumption, attempted to cut his throat, but the wound was only superficial, the skin only being cut. The night nuive was in the ad- joining ward at the time. The man had since died, but his death wis in no way connected with bis rash act.

DOWLAIS TRADESMEN'S I BALL. I The seventh annual ball promoted by some of the younger tradesmen of Dowlais took pl:v.:e in the Odd- fellov.* Hall on Thursday evening. A numerous committee carried out the arrangements, with Messrs. Tom Era us and J. W. Pric", as ftecretariny. The hall was decorated more profusely, if fKVfsibK than on the occasion of the previous ball. The sombre looking rows of seats ou the gallery were hidden from iew by art muslins and beneath this mammoth curtain were others of brighter aud gayer hue", coveting the front of the gallery, and relieving that part of tue building from tue somewhat Oriental appearance which the decoration, first noticed, lent to it. At the back of the platform was the now familiar motto bidding Success to the anunal tradesmen's ball," in huge black letters with red initials on a white ground, and ^et iu a frame of evergreens. Plants had been kindly lent by Mr. E. P. Martin, the head manager of the Dowlais Works. High overhead strings of heautiiul Chinese lanterns, and of evergreens set with pay coloured tissues stretched across from various points in the sides and front of the gallery, and interacted one another in the most Irewildering manner, all how- ever mauaging to converge upon the centre where the decorative art seemed to have reached tho climax of perfect beauty. Dancing was announced to commence at eight o'clock, and by nine o'clock the va-st majority ot the guests had arrived. A fairly punctual start was made by Mr. F. G. Roberta' Cardiff Baud, and thence- forward thoue present were busily engaged in chasing the glowing hours with flying feet. The masters of tho ceremonies were Mr. R. J. Harpur, Mr. A. Frcedman, Mr. D. J. Davies, and Mr. J. M. Edwards, aod it is scarcely necessary to say they did their work to the satisfaction of all present. The supper, which as usual was of the most excellent description, was partaken of in the assembly room, the catering being done by Mr. D. Jones, tho chair-; mitn of the committee. The wines, &c., were supplied by. Mrs. Pritchard, Plough Inn. After the supper dancing was resumed, and was kept up merrily until some four or five hours after midnight had been buried with the past, and then the gay function ended to the great regret of many of those who had taken part in it. We had almost omitted to state that caid tables were placed on the platform for the use of the gentlemen who wished to u=e them, and needle** to say, "that around them as well as on the floor of the half room there was no end of enjoyment.

EXTRAORDINARY SUCCESS IX THE TREATMENT OF OBESITY. Our corpulent readers will be glad to learn how to positively lose two stone iu about a month, with the greatest jjossible benefit in 'health, strength, and muscle, by a comparatively new system. It is a singular paradox that the patient, returning quickly to a healthy state, with increased activity of brain, digestive and other organs, naturally requires more food than hitherto, yet, notwithstanding this, he absolutely loses in weight one or twoipouuas daily, as tho weighing machine will prove. Thus there is no suggestion of starvation. It is au undoubted success, and the author, who has devoted rears of study to the subject, guarantees a noticeable reduction within twenty-four bonis of commencing the treatment-. 1 his is different with other diseases, for the patient, iu sotne casas may go for weeks without being able to test whether tile physician has rightly treated him, and may have derived no real or apparent improve- ment in health. Here, we repeat, the author guarantees it ill twenty four hours, the scale to ho the unerring recorder. The treatment aims at the actual root of obesity, so that the superfluous fat docs not return when discontinuing the treatment. It is perfectly harmless. We advise our readers to call the attention of stout friends to this, because, sinceieiv, we think they ought to know. For their information we may say that on sending cost of postage (fourpence), a reprint of Press notices from some hundreds of medical and other journals—British and fùrlfÏgn-and other interesting particulars, including tho book (2b6 pages), containing the "recipe," can be had from a Sir.

ALLEGED BRUTALITY AT DOWLAIS. On Monday, before the Merthyr Police-court, ThomasKennedy was charged with unlawfully wound- ing his wif-A, Ellen Kennedy, on the 9th of Fabmary last.«-Th« ptoseveiitrix said -helived at 2, Lamb-conrt, .Marr-etreet, Dowlais. The defendant came home drunk on the night in question, and was very violent. Wi tness went out of Lis way, and left the house. Whilst she was standing outside he caught hold of her and threw her into the uouse. She was stunned, and when she came to herself she had a deep wound ou the head.— Slary Ann Kennedy, the little daughter of the parties, said she saw her father drag her mother by the hair of her head, and throw her on the floor. Both her father and mother were in drink. When her mother was on the ground her father struck her mother several times with the poker, and caught bold of her head and knocked it on the Hags. Hf'r mother bled very much.—Catherine Kennedy, another daughter, said she went home on Saturday night, and saw her mother lying on the floor. She WHS bleeding and insensible; Witness called in some neiVhlxmn5. Her father was sitting down, and said he had done it Ijecause she was drunk.—Ellen Griffin, a neighbour, said she heard Catherine Kennedy screaming. 'Vit- nes.i went into the house, picked up the complainant, and l>andaged her head. Somebody went for ths police.—John Richard Evans, surgeon, Dowlais, swore that when he went to the house he saw the complainant in a half-sitting posture on the fioor. She was bleeding from a wound on the back of the head, and another on the left eyebrow. She was not insensible at that time. The wound on the hack of the head was about ten inches and a half long, and the one on the eye- brow was an inch long. They could ha\ e been done by a poker or by violent contact with the floor.-r.c, James Davie-s proved the arrest, ar.d said that the defendant when cliarged said, "1 admit I did it iti drink, but not with the poker." The defendant I stated that he had tnanytitucs told his wife to gne up the drink, but when he came in to dinner on that day she was not in and later in the evening she came home ina state of intosicati m, and he c vent to his feelings.—James McCarthy called for the defence, paid he saw the woman Kennedy coming hoine drunk. She slipped as she was going up the steps that led to the ho'i-'e, and her eyebrows came in contact with the steps. She then went up and fell back again, the steps. She then went up and fell back again, striking the back of her head against the ste), Kenneoj- c-amc out, and picked up his wife but she ft-11 against the washing tub. Sue bled very much, and her hurband picked her upand took her into ths j house.— The prisoner was committed to take his trial I at the next Quarter Sessions bail !)t'ing allowed.

SUNDAY DRINKING AT DOWLAIS. At the Slertliyr Police-comt on Slondav, Richard Jones, the IvoiV Arms Inn, Dowlais, was summoned for keeping his house open for the s:de of beer during illegal houis on Sunday the 10th of February.—Sir. J. W. Lewis defended.- Sergeant Lewis said that ht half-past six on the 10th of February,he saw a woman go to the door of the Ivor Arms. Sho then stooped and epoke t-hrousrh the keyhole. She then went away, The officer's then went to the door and knocked three time? before they were admitted. They waited for ahout a minute, and heard footatefw inside as of people going out through the back door. The defendant's wife said no one was in, but in searching the out-hou?os in the back they found two women in a locked hayloft above the cellar. The landlord then eamc and swore at the women, but. the daughter, who came to the kitchen, said she had let them in to get some coal. In the bar the police saw two quart jugs, which contained beer and froth, and a tur.dish had ilu-ii recently used for spirits, In the cellar they found a jug near a cask, and there was som.-» fresh froth in it, and it had evidently been recently n-cd, and a lot of of beer had l>een spilt. The landlord denied all knowledge of the affair, but the two women smelt strongly of spirits. The witness afterwards went into the women's houses, and found they had each about half a ton of coal.—Sergeant O'Xei! corroborated. —Addressing the Bench for the defence, Sir. Lewis said that the two women knocked at the door, and callie in to speak with Sliss Jones, who resolutely refused to supply them with anything. The police then eame on the scene, and the women ran away to the room where they were found. In their fright they told the police; wlnt was untiue, namely that they had come there for coal. The witnesses called for the defence were Elizalieth Jones (the daughter), Gwenllian Edwards, and Ann Evans (the women found in the hayloft), and Richard Jones, the land- lord who bore out the statements made by the learned adsocate. A fine of £ 2 or a month.

<• WEF-TOX XO-MAH. "Go-wun-go Mohawk" (if wo do not give enough capitals wc humbly crave forgiveness) is the name of one of America's New Women." She has written a play, and herself enacts the hero. Not the heroine, if you please, for she is masculine with a vengeance. Unlike our own Revolted Daughters," she neither swears nor smokes cigarettes. True, but she makes up for these trifling defects by fighting, shooting, and riding horses a-straddle, as may be seen any evening this week at tv.o Slerthyr Theatre Royal. Co wen- go Slohawk is a remarkable woman. In the bills she is described as The only American-Indian Actress and Authoress." She acts with a rare degree of dignity, and occasionally displays much vigour. She is always impressive, and sometimes is even majestic. Her company is likewise a remarkable one. Chief Ga-ne-gua is a veteran of the Civil War and Indian Rising Sir. Wilbur Collins .is known in the Far West as Deadwood Dick," a sobriquet to give one the creei>s Sir. W. 11. Killey is the only United States Cavalry trumpeter in the theatrical profession and Sir. W. C. Charles is "a veteran of the Civil War." Go-won-go has two ponies, wonderfully well trained, and liiyse are brought on the stage several times. The play, Wcp-ton-no- Illah" (accent on the penultimate, if you don't mind), written by Go-won-go," depicts Indian life. The plot is of the conventional sort, hanging on treachery of the deepest dye. There are two villains, an American and a Spaniard, Siamese twins of wickedness, admirally portrayed by Sir. Lcclaire and Sir. Wilbur Collins. Th j boss of the Indian ranche is Colonel Stockton, humane and good-hearted, repre- sented by Sir. Charles. Sam White and Garry Cullen (a son of Erin, he) supply the comedy, and do it well. They arc assisted by Matilda Sniffles, tho Colonel's housekeeper, of unknown nationality but immense animation. Nelly Stockton is the Colonel's niece, and plays an important part in the drama. Pinkev" is Sam's dog, described as. a Siberian hound, and a terror to the housekeeper and evildoers. There is enough action in the play to satisfy the god-s'' of al! Olympus, plenty of fighting, and rifle- shots galore. A duel between the Spanish villain and the hero, Wep-ton-no-inah," is said in the bills to be" the most realistic knife fight ever seen 011 tho stage." Never having lived in the land of the glorious cowboys. the present writer knoweth not whether the scene is a faithful representation of the real thing at ail events, he is not particularly real thing; at all events, he is not particularly anxious to witness so weird, bloodcurdling asjiectacln again. Deadwood Dick performs marvellous feats of rifle-shooting, reminding one of Buffalo Bill. Wep-ton-no-mah is a drama of thrilling adven- ture, and should not tje missed by the lover of the sensational.

BLACKGUARDISM AT BRYXMAWR. At the Brvumawr Policc-court, Supt. Winlerson, addressing the bench, said that there was a tran" of blackguards in the town who seemed to make it their business to assault the jiolice, and he should like the lieneh to express themselves as to their future treat ment of these blackguards. He (Supt. Winterson) had known Brynmawr for 40 years, and there were, more blackguards and cowards in the town now than ever. Somo years ago there used to be men who could tight, but now the offenders were blackguards and cowards.—The bcnclit-aidthntin future persons who assaulted the police would be sent to gaol with- out the option of a fine.

FOUND IX THE SXOW AT BRYXMAWR. Sergeant Hands, when on duty near the Slarket Hall the other night, heard moaning, and on going m the direction of the sound saw a man, named John Williams, Nantyglo, lying down iu the snow drunk and in a frozen state. The sergeant got him up, and after thawing him by means of blankets, he was brought round. I t was the opinion of the sergeant that^the man would have died from exposure if h« had remained an hour longer where he was. The man wa!\ lined at the Police-court on Slonday for being drunk.

FIRE AT NEW TREDEGAR. Early on Saturday morning an outbreak of firp occurred at Commercial-street, :('W Trtd(gar, where damage to tho exteut of £ 500 at least has been incurred. Two houses, those of 117 and 118. in which wero a stock of drapery, furniture, and other valuable materials, have be<m completely gutted, and tho inmates (Hwury Davies and his wife) only narrowly escaped a most shocking death. The cau of the fire lias not been ascertained. Tho owner of the house, who slept in one of the bedrooms, did not, detect the smoke, but was fortunately aroused by tlw falling of materials and the noise of the people, who had assembled in the street, and had commenced breaking in the doors and windows. P.S. Powell and the local constabulary were immediately on the spot, together with a host of friendly helpers, who most energetically worked for the extinguishing of the flames, whose ferocity was so great that it took some hours to suppress them. Happily tho immediate houses furnished an ample supply of water, but. a hose and fire engine is most earnestly and generally required for the district.
