Mr. Thomas Hughes, the clerk to the Menai Bridge Urban District Council, who only recently resumed work after a long illness, has been the subject of another paralytic seizure, and now lies seriously ill at his residence, Menai Bridge. CARDIGAN The Rev. A. Wynne Thomas, of Aberystwyth, has accepted a call to the pastorate of Argyle Chapel, Swansea. The proposal of the Board of Agriculture to make an order for the compulsory dipping of all sheep in Wales in the coming summer has aroused opposition from a lirge number of flockmasters in Cardiganshire, in which county, it is estimated, there are about 300,000 sheep. At a special meeting of the Public Health Committee of the Cardigan- shire County Council at Aberystwyth on Wednes- day a deputation from Tregaron requested that representations be made to the Board not to make the order applicable to their district. The Com- mittee agreed to make the desired representations, and it was also decided to a k the Board to make the month of September and the first fortnight in October the compulsory dipping period, and if possible to extend this period to two months. CARNARVON. The most many-daughtered peer now living is undoubtedly Lord Penrhyn, for his fifteen children include twelve daughters, of whom eight are un- married and living at home with their parents. At the monthly meeting of the Lleyn Promontory Council on Wednesday the terms of the compromise with Dr. Gwenogfryn Evans, the eminent Welsh scholar, in the dispute over a road near his Llan- bedrog residence were ratified, and it was agreed to pay Dr. Evans £10 towards the large sum of money he has spent on the road. The workmen employed by Messrs. G. Roberts and Brother, Llandudno, in the reconstruction of a portion of thecentral Hotel, Colwyn Bay, came across a large stone on Tuesday when digging for the foundations of the building. On the stone being removed it was found that it covered a dry well 30 feet deep, the existence of which had been forgotten. DENBIGH. Mr. W. G. Leighton, of Ruabon, at a sale recently held at Penynant, a mansion which Sir Watkin Wynn has just acquired, bought a clock for £1 12s. 6d. Subsequently the purchaser dis- covered an inscription underneath the clock, as follows:—"This clock was given to Mrs. Eliza Norman by the Countess of Mornington, mother of the late Duke of Wellington, and left me by the will of Mrs. Norman, 1872." This inscription was written by the Rev. T. L. Griffiths, vicar of Deal, who owned Penynant, whose son is now anxious to obtain the clock. GLAMORGAN. The Swansea Trade and Labour Council are submitting no fewer than fourteen names for appointment as magistrates. The Morriston Trades Council members are, however, content with sub- mitting two names only. A large number of articles of jewellery and plate, part of the proceeds of the robbery perpetrated at Bryncethin, the residence of Mr. D. T. Alexander, Dinas Powis, about two months ago, has been found hidden in a rabbit-hole in a bundle at Caerau, near Leek with. After protracted negotiations, the Hauliers' Wage Joint Committee of the South Wales Conciliation Board on Saturday arrived at an agreement under which, it is understood, the standard wage will be 3s. 4d. per day, plus percentages and plus bonuses, together with the allowance paid tor dooring." An inquest was held at Caerphilly on the body of Dr. Charles Dolmen, who was found lying dead on a couch at his residence on Wednesday. Deceased, it was stated, had been suffering from insomnia, and took drugs to obtain sleep. The jury found that death was due to the deceased taking an overdose of the drug. Owing to the failure of the local executive of the South Wales Miners' Federation to get. some 500 to 600 out. of the 10,000 colliers working in this district into the Federation it has been decided to tender notices at every colliery, the notices to terminate on April 30. It is hoped, however, that during April the efforts put forth may bring all the non-unionists in. MONMOUTH. The Newport Pupil Teachers' Centre has been unfavourably reported upon to the Board of Educa- tion by His Majesty's Inspector. He says the premises are not altogether suitable—there is no central hall, no laboratory for practical science, and no room for assistant mistresses. There is no suit- able place for pupils to remain between the morning and afternoon sessions, and many of them have to come by train and cannot return home nor is there a playground or field for games. At the last meeting of the session (on Thursday evening) of the Newport Welsh Society Mr. J. E. Southall, of Newport, again submitted his paper on Welsh literature and the best way to popularise it. He had invited a number of representative men to answer a series of questions bearing on the subject. The balance of opinion seemed to be that there was more Welsh read now than twenty years ago. Personally, he (Mr. Southall) hardly shared that opinion. Whilst there might have been an increase in the reading of Welsh in some parts of North Wales, his experience was that there was a decrease in the industrial districts of South Wales.
