OCCASIONAL NOTES.
OCCASIONAL NOTES. Those who desire to know something of the career of modern English poets, should purchase a copy of u Popular Poets of the Period," edited by Mr. F. D. H. Eyles. (London: Griffith, Farran & Co.) The volume contains some of the most charming verses of Robert Browning, Lord Tennyson, Mr. Swinburne, Mr. Alfred Austin, Mr. Lewis Morris, Professor Blackie, Sir Edwin Arnold, Miss Christina Rossetti, and others. In addition to the choice selections from the works of the poets of our time, there is a biographical and critical sketch of each poet. The editor has been assisted by Dr. Alexander H. Japp, and other distinguished writers, and the work is exceedingly well done throughout. <t Messrs. Sampson, Low & Co. have just issued a new and cheaper edition of Mr. H. M. Stanley's How I found Livingstone." In this deeply interesting volume, which is. illustrated with maps and woodcuts, Mr. Stanley furnishes a record of his travels, adventures, and discoveries in Central Africa, including the story of how he found Livingstone, and an account of his four months' residence with the great missionary and explorer. A memoir of Dr. Livingstone forms a preface to the volume, which, in its new form, will command a very extensive sale. We have received the Gospel of St. Luke, in the Cambridge series, for schools and colleges. [t is impossible to speak too highly of these books. To the student of the Greek Testament they are invaluable. The modesty of the title hardly prepares one for the wealth of scholarship and interest with which they abound. The volume oefore us is "The Gospel according to St. Luke, with maps, notes, and introduction" by Arch- deacon Farrar. Dr. Farrar's powers, and especially the picturesqueness of his style, peculiarly fit him for the task of annotating and explaining this gospel, which Renan, the great French critic, declares to be the most beautiful book that has ever been written." For those who cannot read Greek there is a corresponding edition of this book in the English series. A comparatively limited critical study of the Bible gives more real spiritual help, and affords stronger proof of the divine origin of Christianity than the daily slipshod careless reading, into which it is so easy to fall, but which is rarely interesting. These volumes are a great boon. VERAX.

AN old proverb says that "a shoemaker should stick to his last." It is rather a Conservative proverb, with but little hope of promotion in it. Still it is very true in certain circumstances. The other day it was exemplified in this manner:—A well-known tradesman was sent as a deputation to a meeting of the Sunday School Union, Knowing that breakfast was 0 glVCU uy me Uttuoc," tie acciaed, perhaps tn the interest, of economy, to go from home without one. He, therefore, travelled with a full soul and a hungry body from Denbigh to a neighbouring village, and maybe mused on the way on that excellent institution the Cyfarfod Ysgolion breakfast." Arrived, he soon found several acquaintances; but, oddly enough, they did not offer him any breakfast. Heroically, he deter- mined that, even if he died from hunger, he would not neglect his duty, and marched to the chapel. There he found the service in course of progress, with a worthy but long-winded preacher occupy- ing the pulpit. Thinking that the order of the meetings had been reversed, he sat down and tried to listen to the sermon. His mind, however, wandered to the subject of fasts, and he called to mind several pious zealots who had died through fasting too long. Just as he had given himself up to follow their example, the sermon came to an end. It was then he found that he had mistaken his destination, and that he was due at another chapel three miles off. VVe have no positive information as to what became of him: afterwards, but we were informed (perhaps inac- curately) that the rest of that Sabbath was' wound up by a feast. Soon after, another occur- rence took place, illustrating the same proverb. This time our tradesman was asked to preside over a lecture, delivered by a well-known public man. He duly travelled to a small village, where the lecture was to be given, and, with great promptitude, took the chair. He got through his opening remarks with success, and then settled himself comfortably to attend to the lecture. So comfortable was he that it is correctly reported that he slept! The lecturer finished with applause, and our chairman woke up. A friend pulled his sleeve and asked, How did you like it?" The answer came promptly, 'Dydyvv o werth dim heb roi gwaelod newydd iddo fo!" His friend, seeing that he was not yet wide awake, gave him another extra strong punch, and said, You have got to propose a vote of thanks." I- 0 yes," said be, "I will do it." He got up and said, Ladies and gentlemen, I beg to propose a vote of thanks to the chairman—1 mean the ladies—I mean, I mean," and then he sat down again.

TOWYN.
TOWYN. ATTEMPTED MURDER A WOMAN SHOT.—The inhabitants of this peaceful town were startled by hearing, on Thursday morning, the 20th inst., that Mrs. Jones, caretaker of Tra Dyddan, the residence of Mr. G. V. Bourlais, had narrowly escaped being murdered by an assassin on the previous night. It seems that about half-past nine, Mrs. Jones, having finished her supper, proceeded to the back kitchen to wash up the things. She was cleaning a saucepan when a shot came in through the window, hit her on her arm, and glanced off and lodged itself in the wall. She screamed for assistance, and Mr. E. M. Jones, who was passing at the time, run to the house. When he got there no trace of the assassin could be seen. He then ran down to the police station and informed the police of what had happened. The assassin could not have been more than two yards from Mrs. Jones when he fired, and there is no doubt but that he meant murder. Major Best and Superintendent Hughes are investigating the case. It is said that the police are in possession of a letter picked up near the railway bridge which says-" Yr oeddwn yn meddwl ei lladd hi, ond mi fethais." The affair has caused intense excitement in the neighbourhood of the town, not even the oldest inhabitant remembering anything like to have occurred before.
CONNAH'S QUAY.,¡;
CONNAH'S QUAY. ,¡; HIGH TELEGRAPH POSTS.—There are to be seen at the Hawarden Bridge two telegraph posts 170 feet high, which are supposed to be the highest in the world. These leviathans are made of angle iron, and are to carry the telegraph wires over the river so as to enable ships to pass under without lowering their topmasts. Eaoh post is well secured by 20 wire guys. There were until recently two posts 96 feet high, but the wires were broken by a passing vessel. A WARNING TO HOUSEKEEPERS.—During the last week an event occurred to one of the many characters of the Quay, the victim upon this occasion being our newsboy for the evening papers. It seems that on Thursday morning, the 13th inst., a man who had all the appearance of a tramp called at a house at Penyllan, Golfftyn. The housekeeper, an old lady of sixty-seven summers, unfortunately left the front door open whilst going into the yard to shake the door mat. Upon returning, she was horrified to find this individual standing inside the house, and calmly engaged in reading a bjok of which he had possessed himself from a chest of drawers in close proximity to the door. Upon being confronted by the old lady, he evaded all suspicion by asking whether Mr. "So-and-so" (correctly naming the person) lived there, but being informed in the negative, and told that the person enquired for had left the neighbourhood, he offered every apology for the intrusion, and humbly asked the old lady to give him a copper t,) help him on the road, which she did to get rid of him. Now comes tne sequel 01 tms uncanea-lcr visit,, i ne ooy, above mentioned, at Christmas last bought a small money box to put aside his perquisites and also the money collected by him for the benefit of the New Missionary Fund, this latter b ing due on Sunday last. The boy prior to attending Sunday school, added upon his accounts, and naturally sought the box to obtain the required cash, but alas! this box was nowhere to be found. Where it has gone remains a mystery but every suspicion falls upon the uncalled-for visitor. The contents of the box were close upon 20s. altogether. The suspected man, when seen on Thursday, wore a cap and short blue serge jacket, and carried a bundle under his arm tied in a handkerchief. It behoves house- keepers in general to be most careful about their doors, and to beware of strange callers. I
LLANTYSILIO.,
LLANTYSILIO. VESTRY MEETING.—On Saturday afternoon last, a vestry was held in the Parochial Schoolroom, to nominate guardians, to appoint overseers and way- wardens, and to transact, any other business appertaining to the parish. Mr. David Roberta Coed Ial (guardian), was voted to the chair, and there were present also Messrs. Henry Jenkins (guardian), Joseph Jones, Ty'n-y-pistyll, and D. Jones, Rhydonen Ucha (overseers), Edward Jones- Roberts, 'l'y Newydd (waywarden), J. B. Jones, Penbedw, Morris Jon-s, Penybryn, Morris Jones, Dee Farm, Hy. Morris, Jno. Roberts, Richard Thomas, Thos. M. Shaw, James Clarke (assistant overseer), &c. The minutes of last vestry meeting were read and confirmed, and the notice convening the present vestry was read. Appointment of Overseers.—Messrs. Evan Jones, Ty'ntwll, and Hugh Jones, Groeslwyd, were appointed overseers for the current year. Waywardens and Guardians.—Messrs. Henry Jenkins, Ty Issaf, and David Roberts, Coed Ial, the present guardians, w re unanimously nominated as guardians for another year, and Messrs. J. R. Tudor and Ed. Jones-Roberts were re-elected waywardens. Peoples Churchwarden.—On the motion of Mr. Morris Jones, seconded by Mr. Ed. Jones-Roberts, J. A.Keates, Esq., Llantysiiio Hall, was unanimously elected as parish warden for another year. Thanhs to the Officers.—On the motion of Mr. J. B. Jones, seconded by Mr. Richard Thomas, a warm vote of thanks was passed to the officers of the parish for the last year. Tlte Tý Newydd Charity.—Mr. Ed. Jones-Roberts said that he had observed that at the last vestry it had been stated that he refused to pay to the overseers of the parish the amount of £ 4 16s. Od. which was due to the poor of the parish from his farm Ty Newydd. He would wish to state that he did not refuse to pay what was just and reasonable. The amount charged for was £ 80 at 6 per cent., and he maintained that that rate was too high. He was willing to pay at the rate of 4 per cent., and he was sure they would all say that that was a reasonable offer. He had written to that effect to the Charity Commissioners, with whom in fact he had been in correspondence for over twelve months, and he had failed to get a final reply from them. After some discussion, it was unanimously resolved that Mr. Clarke, the assistant overseer, be instructed to communicite with the Charity Commissioners for a final reply to the proposal made by Mr. E.
ST. ASAPH.
ST. ASAPH. SUSPECTED DEATH FROM VIOLENCE.—The Flint- shire coroner held an inquest last Monday evening on the body of a lad named George Deed, son of a river watcher, at St. Asaph, who it is suspected died from violence received from some person yet unknown. The lad had been missing Bince Thursday, and was found dead in a manger of a cowshed near St. Asaph Station, one hand in his pocket, the other on his breast inside his waistcoat. The body and face were nearly covered with hay. A large scar on the head indicated that violence had been used. A post-mortem examination was ordered, and the inquest was adjourned for further inquiries by the police.
RUTHIN. 1
RUTHIN. 1 DENBIGHSHIRE AND FLINTSHIRE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.-The annual general meeting of the above society was held at the Wynnstay Arms Hotel, Ruthin, on Friday, Mr. T. J. King, Ruthin and Liverpool, presiding.—Mr. R. Alston, Ruthin, was unanimously elected vice-president.—A deputation from St. Asaph attended the meeting and advocated the claims of St. Asaph as a suitable place at which to hold the show next year, owing to its centrality.-The President said they had arranged for the show to be held next year at Wrexham, and they could not depart from that arrangement, but they would give their consideration to the matter as far as the following year was concerned. Judges in the various departments were appointed, and the day of holding the show was fixed for August 1st. A letter was read from Mr. Ralli, the Greek consul, offering Y.20 to be given in prizes, and promising another d630 if there was a marked improvement in the thoroughbred horses. Colonel Cornwallis West also offered £ 5. A local committee was provided to make further arrangements.
LLANDUDNO.
LLANDUDNO. THE CASE OF MR. PENNY.—The action, Wagstaffe v. Penny, to recover damages for trespass and con- version, came on for hearing at the Nisi Prius Court, Liverpool Assizes, before Mr. Justice Charles, on Saturday, Mr. Gully, Q.C., M.P., and Dr. Commins, M.P., being for the plaintiff, and Mr. Bigham, Q.C., and Mr. Mulholland for the defendant. Mr. Bigham informed his lordship that since the action was commenced the police authorities had thought fit to charge the defendant with felony in respect of the goods alleged to have been taken away from Mrs. Wagstaffe's shop at Llandudno; but neither the plaintiff nor her sister or brother was a party to that prosecution. The defendant undoubtedly took a few cigars from the plaintiff's shop. He was a dentist, and occupied one floor of the house and Mrs. Wagstaffe the other. Goods had been missed from the shop for some time,.and the plaintiff was unable to ascertain how they were taken. The defendant stated that he himself had called atten- tion to the very easy way in which the shop could be entered, and for the purpose of showing how easily it could be done, he did, in broad daylight, without any concealment, take off the lock and remove 20 cigars from the shop. Plaintiff's sister, who managed the shop and found him there, made some allegation that he was the person who had probably taken these things, and the defendant now foU, that he ought to go into the box and state the fac's of what was really an excessively silly joke. His act was capable of great misconception, and it had been arranged that he should pay an amount of compensation to the plaintiff in respect of it.— Mr. Gully was prepared to accept this statement and withdraw the action for the goods and all charges that might be inferred from such a claim. -His Lordship said he could not allow the defendant to go into the box, as it was really a verdict by consent, and the defendant confessedly would not be oross-examined.-Mr. Bigham said he was sorry, but he would like his statement as counsel to be taken.—Mr. Gully said he accepted the statement made by Mr. Bigham. He withdrew all charges which might be implied from the claim for the goods.—Mr. Bigham said there would be judgment for the plaintiff for £ 120 and costs.
I CEFN AND RHOSYMEDRE.
I CEFN AND RHOSYMEDRE. SUDDEN DEATH OF A NONCONFORMIST MINISTER. —The Rev. Wm. Edwards, for many years pastor of Zion Baptist Chapel, Cefn Mawr, was found dead in his bedroom on Saturday morning, under painful circumstances. Mr. Edwards's housekeeper, who lives next door, entered his room at breakfast time, and found him lying dead on the floor. The news of the sad discovery soon spread in the neighbour- hood, and created much exoitement. The deceased gentleman was widely known and highly esteemed. He was a powerful preacher, and was often on the political platform. The inquest on the body was held on Monday, before the county coroner. The stepson of the deceased said he lived alone with his father, who had been a widower for many years. His father had been depressed for some time, owing to chapel affairs. He (witness) left home for work early on Saturday morning, and left his father asleep. He appeared to be in his usual health, but was in low spirits. There was nothing to indicate that his death had been caused by violence, or that he had been poisoned. Mrs. Sarah Jones, the house- keeper, having given evidence, the jury returned a verdict of Found dead.The remains of the deceased gentleman were interred in the Trefynant Cemetery on Tuesday afternoon, in the presence of the largest concourse of mourners seen at the Cefn in recent years. The proceedings began with a service in Zion Chapel. Blinds were drawn on all the houses and places of business on the way to the cemetery, and the remains were followed in proces- sion by about seven hundred persons. The mourners were the deceased's step-children, Jonathan and Edith Williams, and his brother, the Rev. John Edwards, of Porth, Pontypridd, and amongst those in the procession were :—The Rev. T. Shankland, Mold, D. Edwards, Brymbo, W. Roberts, Holyhead, B. Evans, Rhuddlan, H. Evans, Bala, Dd. Williams, Llangollen, J. G. Mathias, Corwen, Wm. Williams, Garth, E. Mitchell, Ponkey, M. F. Wynne, Chester, Dd. Davies, Llandudno, W. C. Evans (C), J. W. Thomas, vicar of Rhosymedre, Williams (W), and John Jones (M). At the grave the service was taken by the Rev. O. Waldo James, of Rhos, Princi- pal Gethin Davies, D.D., Llangollen, Prof. Morris, Llangollen, and the Rev. R. M. Humphreys, of Rhosddu.
