THE PRICE OF BEING POPULAR.-Ask Mr. J. R. Bayley. ANOTHER SOCIAL.—With all these socials Caer- philly should be a very sociable place. But, oh dear don't mention it. We may become Socia'ists though. SOME ELECTION CRIES.—Weekly markets, improved cheese market, isolation hospital, wickets on public footpaths, street improvements, including pave- ments, public conveniences, museum, pleasure gardens around the Castle, find better water supply. IT'S THE WAY OK THR WORLD, HE SAiiv-What is good enough for the Lancet is apparently not good enough for some medical men, otherwise why this eternal vindietivo hounding of Mr. Bayley, than whom, unless patients lie, no more sympathetic and conscientious man could anywhere be found. Earth, and if his fault-finders say their prayers, Heaven also, we presume, is moved to kick him out of the ancient town. NATIONAL MCSKCM. — Everyone, metaphorically speaking, is patting our Alfred on the back for bring- ing forward his motion anent a national museum for Wales. A short time ago wojsuggested a museum for Caerphilly, and the matter was taken up the week following by Antiquarian," who, in his letter, suggested a very practical method to rouse the in- terest of the public in the matter. May we ask Mr. Phillips, hon. secretary to the Caerphilly Literary Society, to carry out Antiquarian's" suggestion, and arrange a debate on the subject ? We promise him a full house. We hive two Thomases in the local parliament—the Council—but no Alfred. More's the pity- CAERPHILLY COUNCIL. Tuesday. Present: Alderman Anthony, J.P. (chair- man), Messrs. E. W. M.

Miss Hurlbett received a patient hearing, and repeatedly received the approval of the audience, and at the conclusion of her add-ress the following resolution was unanimously adopted on the proposition of Alderman W.

TREHARRIS. AN OMISSION.—We regret that we should have omitted the name of Mr. D. V. Davies, certificated class teacher, from the list of hard workers at the recent social gathering at the Board Schools. MR. RYAN.—One of the brightest bits of news we have received for some time is the fact that our band- master, Mr. Ryan, is not going to leave us after all, and right glad we are, because "Music hath its charm." Ax ENTERTAINMENT was held at Brynhyfryd Vestry, on Monday evening last, when songs, recita- tions, stump speeches, etc., were rendered. Mr. W. R. Thomas took the chair, in the unavoidable absence of Mr. Richard Edwards, Pantanas, AN ENTHRTAINMENT was held at Bethania Vestry on Saturday evening last, under the presidency of Mr. Thomas Williams, when songs, recitations, etc., were rendered. A prominent feature of the entertainment was the performances of Mr. John Williams, Cardiff. road, as a phrenologist. THK OBSTRUCTION complained of some time ago in Thomas and Mary-streets, in these and your contem- jwrary's columns, has been removed, with the result that pedestrians can now use the pathway, and so avoid coming in contact with the numerous vehicles using the streets. SOCIETY.—We have been twitted that there are social gatherings taking place without our know- ledge. One of these (which reminded us of the "At Homes") was brought off in a rather westerly direction on Thursday evening last, those participa- ting being citizens of culture, the names of whom we have no desire to publish because we believe it wo ,Id give pain, although we are in jiossession of them. MUSICAL.—We are pleased to hear that Miss Anne Richards, of Twyngareg Farm, and niece of Mr. Lewis Richards, near this town, has just passed t! e senior division in pianoforte playing at ft recei t examination of the Trinity College, London, held at Cardiff. Miss Richards is only 17 years of age, and was formerly a pupil of Mr. Edward Lawrance, Merthyr. This achievement by so young a lady is very gratifying, nud speaks highly for her future. SALVATION ARMY.—Treharrisites wero much con- cerned on Saturday and Sunday last to find that a large contingent of the Salvation Army had arrived and bombarded their town. We understand tliev are come to stay, having made the Co-operative Com- mittee-room, Williams-terrace, their local head- quarters. We welcome this new addition to the already numerous religious bodies in our midst, as there is work for all; but we cannot help noticinsr an exceptional feature in the contingent, which is their extraordinary lung power, a qualification that will greatly assist them in reaching every nook and corner of our town. CoxcKRM.—On Thursday and Saturday evenings last, at the Public Hall, two complimentary concerts were given to Mr. Thomas Phillips, "Williams- terrace, in recognition of the valuable services which he has rendered to the musical fraternity of this dis- trict during the time that he has resided here, and right well does he deserve this mark of esteem by his numerous friends. Mr. J. P. Gibbon presided on Thursday evening, and Mr. Henry Davies, mining lecturer, on Saturday evening. The attendance was not so good as could be wished on Thursday evening, but on Saturday evening it was all that could be desired. The programme, which cons-isted of vocal and instrumental music, was very ably carried out by the following well-known artistesMiss Katie Thomas, R.A.M., soprano; this was the first visit to our town of this talented singer, and she received quite an ovation Mr. Stedman Jones, whose splen- I' I' did voice and artistic taste brought forth rounds of applause; Mr. Jones, who has made Treharris his home for a number of years past, has toured with several well-known opera companies, and has given great satisfaction Miss Bessie Phillips, who has a sweet contralto voice, is also to be congratulated upon the able manner in which she performed her part; Mr. Chubb also contributed a great deal to the enjoy- ment of the evening, his splendid rendering of "Revenge "and "Soldier Junior being thoroughly appreciated by every one. The instrumental part of the entertainment was supplied by the Orchestral Society, under the conductorship of Mr. Fred Evans, and the Town Band, under the leadership of Mr. Ryan; on Saturday evening the Trclewia Brass Band, under the direction of Mr. Dawson, performed. Miss Jennie Lewis was the accompanist, a young lady our town is much indebted to, she always being most ready to identify herself with any good cause. BAZAAR.—On Monday and Tuesday a bazaar was held at Zion English Primitive Methodist Chapel before a large and influential company. Mr. Jacob Ray, agent, opened the bazaar in a few well-chosen remarks, after which addresses were given by the Rev. John Hall, pastor of the above cnurch, Revs. W. D. Nicholas, W. Jones, Brynhyfryd; Mr. C. Frame, Nelson Evangelist Coleman, and then the sale of work commenced. The stalls were arianged as follows :—No. 1, drapery, presided over by Mrs. Hall, Mrs. James, and Miss Coomba No. 2, drapery, by Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Edwards. There was a large stall upon which was a grand display of ware, presided over by Mrs. Turner and her daughters. The whole of the ware was kindly given as a present to the bazaar by Mr. Turner, senior, Mary-street. There was also a curiosity show, where one penny was charged for admittance, and the explanation given of the articles within was very laughable. This department was ably presided over by Mr. Samson, A refreshment stall was also well supplied and largely patronised, which was presided over by Mrs, Targett and Mrs. Uren in a creditable manner. Another feature of the bazaar was a bran pie, which had its fair share of attention. The advertising stall also did well under the supervision of Miss E. Turner and others. In addition to the above a large quantity of oranges were sent as a gift by Mr. Turner (senior). During the addresses delivered by the aforemen- tioned speakers, Evangelist Coleman jocularly interrupted by remarking that there were a large quantity of oranges close at hand, and without much ado took the basket around the audience and dis- posed of a large number of the delicious fruit to them amid much amusement, and realising a little profit from the sale towards the work. On Monday- evening solos and recitations were given by niemlWs and friends, which greatly added to tho enjoyment. The bazaar was a complete success, and realised a good sum, which reflects great credit on all concerned.
