A certain voting man went from the '•snuare to a hostelry" close by, and fell amongst thieves, who divested him of sundry costly articles and apparel and departed, leaving him almost nude.

A committee was therefore formed to take the matter up, and well did each individual member vvorlc. In Sir. W. J. Merriman an excellent chairman was found. He soon made things hum and not only worked hard himself, but also saw that. the others did the same. A better secretary than Mr. 1). Williams.

Subscriptions came flying in, *uid in the end it was decided to present Mr. Jones; with an illuminated addrc-ss at a complimentary bun- <(Uet.

Excellent acco^m1* dation for commercials, dinners, teas, &c. [2&98 —Reporters arc pretty thick round the table at the Brynmawr Police-court. The authorities will have to find extra sitting accommodation. Owing to the great frost, the householders of Bryn- I mawr cannot obtain a proper supply of water. I he taps are mostly all frozen. P.C. Price, who lately came to be stationed at Brynmawr, is an old footballer. A tew seasons bac<* he was goal keeper with the Rhayader Football Club, that time one of the finest association clubs in South Wales. —Despite the cold weather, some people can anoro to be witty. I went up King-street the other day, saidanianwithn, red nose, but 1 saw no bicycles or tricycles, but plenty of icicles," whereat our re' j sorter laughed immoderately. The, other wit, who swore that he had" cold duck," really meant that he had got immersed in the Big Pond whilst skating. Talking about the weather, scientific peri-ions assure us that there is no such thing as cold what is vul- garly known as such is only an absence of caloric. That so, there must have been a very measure- able amount of caloric on furlough from liraemsr the other day, when the record of 43 degrees of frost was registered. Perhapan few scientists planted out of doors theieabouts would have come to the unscientific conclusion that caloric is a thing that can act very powerfully where it is not. Unscientific people have had to learn that bitter truth. —I am glad to hear that Mr. Dan Jenkins has obtained a second engineer's certificate. Mr. Jenkins will thusbea-ble to command a good berth on board one of the large steamships. Mr. Jenkins was for- merly c-aptain of the Brynmawr Football Club, and was an adept at the game. I wish him every success. —It is high time we should get an additional con- stable here. Btvnmawr ia the largest, and by far the busiest town in lireconshire. Notwithstanding those important circumstances, there is a large staff in sleepy Brecon with its smaller jwpulation. The Brecon police staff should he reduced, and one of the constables transferred to Brynmawr. It would only be justice. j --Some interesting figures were submitted at the Inst meeting of the School Board, relative to the in- crease in the number of pupils in the local elementary day schools. The number of pupils on the books was | given as 2,050. A few years ago the number was 1,271. The accommodation at tho Brynmawr Board Schools has been sorely taxed, and the Board have had to proceed with the erection of additional pre- mise- in order to acconi nodate the whole of the pupils, —There has not been nuidi skating lately on the Big Pond owing to the ice, to the general belief, heing | coated with snow. Large numbers of townspeople I have, however, frequented the canal at Giiwern, where some splendid skating can be obtained. This canal runs all the .wa-y to Brecon, and some skaters have broken local records into very small bits. GWION BACII. I.O.G.T.—There was a large attendance at the' Good Templars Lodge on Friday night. Bro. Neat presided. An interesting programme was gone through.

The funeral took place on Wednesday (yesterday). Tun GENERAL MISSJON.—Mr. Gerald Coultas, ftom London, has commenced a mission in thp. town. which he ilitend- keeping on until March 4th.
