TIPYN 0 BOB PETH. A club called the Grosvenor Bicycle Club has been formed at Chester. The Cardiff building strike, after lasting twelve weeks, ter- minated on Monday, July 2, the masters conceding to the men the extra halfpenny in dispute. Mr. Horatio Lloyd has sent to prison a bailiff of the Mold County Court for not paying into court money which he had re- ceived for that purpose. At a recent meeting of the committee of the Conway Liberal Association, it was resolved to carry on vigorously the work of registration in the Conway, Colwyn, Caerhun, and Llandudno polling districts. At the Crewe Police Office on Monday, June 25, William Warburton, a member of the Crewe Police Force, was charged with a robbery with violence upon the person of a married woman named Eliza Foxley. At the close of the investigation the magistrate (Mr. T. L. Boote) dismissed the case, and said he had no doubt that the accused was innocent of the charge. The annual Festival of the Choral Union of the Archdeaconry of Carmarthen took place on Tuesday, June 26, at St. Peter's Church, Carmarthen. Mr. Radcliffe conducted. There were upwards of 600 singers. The sermon was preached by the Yen. Archdeacon Lewis. The dead bodies of two children, named Sarah Pullen, fifteen years of age, and William Edge, seven years of age, of Newtown, Chester, were discovered floating in the canal near the City Baths on Sunday morning, June 24. It is supposed that the little fellow accidentally tumbled into the canal, and the girl in endeavouring to rescue him was drowned with him. At Shrewsbury, on Thursday, June 28, William Neville, who gave his address as Liverpool, was charged with stealing a silver watch from his lodgings. The prisoner first described himself as an actor, but now said he had been a surgeon on board a steamer trading between Liverpool and Africa. The magistrate sentenced him to three months' imprisonment, with hard labour. An instance of the survival of an old superstition was dis- closed in an application made to the Chester magistrates, on Thursday, June 28. An elderly lady, residing in Castle-street, possessed a Skye terrier dog, which the other day bit a child in its hand. The parents of the child, believing that if the animal was not killed the child would go mad and die, effected a for- cible entrance into the house of the old lady, assaulted her, and having obtained possession of the dog, destroyed it. The magis- trates granted the lady a summons for assault. The following is from Trllth-" The experiment in wine grow- ing, which the Marquis of Bute in carrying out is the neigh- bourhood of Cardiff, is said to be not without considerable promise so far. His vineyards at Castle Loch have just been visited by an expert from the department of Cote d'Or in France, and pronounced to be in excellent condition. The Marquis in- tends, at the end of the summer, trying his hand at the manu- facture of avowed English wine from his English or rather Welsh grown grapes. There has been a gradual decrease in the number of cattle attacked with disease in Cheshire, since October 1875, when the number amounted to 6,106, to the present time, when for a month there has not been a single case of foot-and-mouth or pleuro-pneumonia reported. For 30 years past the county has not been free from the last mentioned disease for so long a time. On Friday, June 29, the Chester Town Council passed a resolu- tion rescinding the cattle plague orders lately put in force. The chief excursion of the season of the Chester Society of Natural Science was held on Tuesday, June 26, when a visit was paid to Haughmond Abbey, near Shrewsbury, the founder of which was William Fitz Allen, on whom William the Conqueror bestowed the Castle of Oswestry. A paper was read upon the subject by the Rev. A. Thursby Pelham, of Cound, near Shrewsbury. The party subsequently visited the museum on College Hill, Shrewsbury, and inspected the interesting collection of Roman relics found on the site of the ancient city of Ureconium. At the Central Criminal Court, on Tuesday, June 26, a young man named Morgan Lewis, who is stated to be the son of a clergyman in North Wales, was indicted 'for unlawfully neglect- ing to deliver up the whole of his estate after he had been ad- judicated a bankrupt, with intent to defraud his creditors. The prisoner came to London a few years ago and began business as grocer, but subsequently went upon the stage. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to two years' imprison- ment with hard labour. On Friday, June 29, a festival of the choirs of the diocese of Chester was held in Chester Cathedral. There were 26 choirs and about 750 voices in all, divided as follows :—Treble, 380: alto, 60 tenor, 120 bass, 190. The Rev. E. L. Deacle (the late precentor) intoned the service, and directed the singing throughout. The anthem was "Praise the Lord, 0 my soul," by Sir John Goss. The hymn before the sermon was Handel's Rejoice, the Lord is King," and that after the sermon, "Angel voices ever singing," by Arthur Sullivan. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Canon Tarver, from Psalm lxxi., 20-21. The Rev. J. Hylton Stewart, the precentor, played the organ. The third annual encampment at Rhyl of the First Adminis- trative Battalion of Flintshire Rifle Volunteers, including the Corps of Carnarvon and Portmadoc, was brought to a close on Monday, June 25, when the volunteers were inspected by Col. Cooper, commanding the 23rd Brigade Depôt, who said he should have much pleasure in making a good report to the War Office. The Lord Lieutenant of the County (Mr. Hughes) also ex- pressed the great pleasure he had had in witnessing their manoeuvres, and fully endorsed the praise bestowed upon them by Colonel Cooper. The camp numbered over seven hundred men. Not a single instance of misconduct was reported. On Wednesday, June 27, a silver salver, a gold watch and chain, and a purse containing £ 84 19s. were presented to the Rev. Lewis Price, R.D., vicar of Llywel and Rhydvbriw, by his parishioners and friends as a token of respect as well as of their high appreciation of his energetic labours and faithful ministrations for the benefit of the parish of Llvwel since his ap- pointment in 1862." During his incumbency Mr. Price has by his personal exertions secured the erection of excellent school- rooms and minister's residence, and a handsome vicarage at Tre- castle, and the restoration of the parish church, the total cost of these works being £ 4,000. In January last, Mr. J. Howell Thomas, of Starling Park, near Carmarthen, was thrown from a dog cart and seriously hurt in consequence of the negligence of the local authorities, a deep drain having been opened in the roadway and left at night with- out anything to warn passengers of their danger. Mr. Thomas, upon public grounds, claimed damages to the amount of t500 of the Carmarthen Town Council. The Town Council for some time resisted the claim and repudiated their liability, but they subsequently offered Z200 as a compromise. Mr. Thomas has not only accepted the offer but has returned £ 100 to the Council, at the same time stating that the moiety he has retained would not cover the actual losses he incurred in consequence of the accident. Mayfair has the following comment upon a recent case at the Oswestry County Court:—"It seems that Dr. Kenealy, in the shape of Answers to Correspondents," gives the subscribers to his inestimable Englishman the full benefit of his legal know- lege on any practical points of law in which they may have be- come involved. This valuable piece of information transpired the other day in an amusing case in a provincial County Court, in which a newly-married husband was sued for payment of the cost of his bride's wedding dress. The husband, as witness in the case, stated that he had the' opinion of 'an ex-Q.C.' that he was not liable for the dress. The Judge having elicited that the ex-Q.C. was our umbrella-carrying doctor, who had answered the inquiry in the columns of the Englishman, said he was afraid the opinion of the ex-Q.C. mustprevail!' So the husband and his friends swear Kenealy to be a bigger boon [and blessing to men than ever." The Gardeners' Chronicle says-" Those who have given atten- tion to the subject of the longevity of Oaks could not fall to assign to the Cressage Oak a greater antiquity than that of the Venison Tree in Bagot's Park, which is known to have been standing at the Conquest. One half only of the Cressage Oak remains, con- sisting of a massive skin' of timber eighteen inches thick. The circumference of the tree, above the projecting base, would be about thirty feet, is it were complete, the measurement of the remaining half being fourteen feet. Part of the standing portion of the shell was so much injured by a fire mischievously lighted many years ago in the hollow trunk, that its envelope of liark is now dead, as well as the crown above it. In the re- mainder of the crown life still remains, and a crop of small branches is still fed by the bark below. The tree is in fact a natural pollard with an overhanging rugged crown." At the Carnarvon petty sessions, on Saturday, June 30, before Lord Newborough, and other magistrates, Thomas Ryan and J. (1. Pritchard, quarrymen, from the neighbourhood of Ebenezer, were charged with brutally assaulting Police-constable Evans. Thomas Roberts and G. Roberts were also charged with resist- ing and interfering with the constable, whose head and face were considerably scarred. From the evidence, it appears that in a drunken row on the previous Sunday night the prisoners Ryan and Pritchard attacked the constable, the former dealing him six running" kicks in different parts of the body. A special warrant was issued for the apprehension of Pritchard, who, on being captured, again kicked the officer in a savage manner. The other prisoners made a "desperate attempt to rescue him from the custody of the constable. Several letters were handed to the Bench complaining of the ruffianism preva- lent among some of the quarrymen in that neighbourhood. Mr. Allanson (Carnarvon), and Mr. T. Roberts (Bangor), appeared For the prisoners. The Bench sentenced Pritchard to four months' imprisonment with hard labour and Ryan, six months' with hard bbour. The other prisoners were each fined 40s. and osts. We referred last week to the reports of the Medical Officer md Inspector of Nuisances of the Llanrwst Rural Sanitary Authority, on the extremely bad sanitary condition of Llanrwst. [t appears, however, that the village of Penmachno, which is within the jurisdiction of the same Authority, is in an even more filthy and disgraceful state. At the meeting of the Authority on Tuesday, June 26, Dr. Rees, the County Medical Officer of Health, reported the results of a recent visit to this tillage, which he described as a veritable sink of abominations. riie water supply was polluted, being obtained from pumps .vhich were within a few yards of choked up drains, or from the iver, into which all kinds of decomposed animal and vegetable substances are thrown, and into which the contents of several trains and privies are discharged. At the upper part of the 'illage the sewage flows in an open gulley along the side of the •oad, and in warm weather is, of course, a dangerous misance." All the drains have been long since choked up, and converted into a series of elongated cesspools," and the con- sequence is that as the soil is porous, it has become saturated ivith sewage. It is said that other villages in the district are in ilmost, if not quite, as bad a state. The work of sanitary im- provement seems to make extremely slow progress in some Kirts of Wales. The tenth annual festival of the parish choirs of the Lichfield Diocesan Choral Association was held on Thursday, June 28, in Lichfield Cathedral, when morning and evening services were leld. About 1,600 choristers took part in the Festival, and tbout 200 clergymen were present in their surplices. Mr. Beds- nore presided at the organ. The sermon in the morning was weached by the Bishop of Manchester. In the course of it his ordship remarked that in small churches, where the musical resources could not possibly be very ample, it seemed to him ,he height of absurdity to try to imitate the ritual of a great cathedral, and he ventured to think that anthems would hardly sdify an ordinary rural congregation. The Bishop made iinne very sensible remarks with regard to church hymns, which clergymen and others, whose duty it is to select hymns :or congregational singing, would do well to lay to heart. He ,aid that for edification it was necessary that there should be a careful choice of hymns. He felt that there was a strange inreality of language in many of our popular hymns, and that ;hcre was just cause for complaint of the material, mystic anguage of many of them. The material language of a great ?any hymns was most marked. Let them take, for instance,— Ihere is a fountain filled with blood," as though it were the ;hemical fluid of the Redeemer's veins that washed away the iinsot the world. Then there was language teaching Christ's presence in His sacrament, which went beyond even the -neological tenet of transubstantiation as that was theologi- ally accepted. °

ENGLAND VERSUS FRANCE.—For generations chocolate has been imported in large quantities into this country from r'wi'e' rT ?, are "byl to find the tables turned at last, and that Ladburys, the makers of the well-known Cocoa Lssence, have opened elegant premises at 90, Faubourg, St. Honore, Paris.

FROMITHE PAPERS. The Bishop of Ripon has returned to England in considerabl: improved health. The new Justice of Appeal, Mr. Henry Cotton, Q.C., took hi seat on Friday, June 29, in the Court of Appeal. It is proposed to erect a monument in Edinburgh, in memor of the late Mr. Russel, editor of the Scotsman, and about £ 1,00< has been already promised towards the object. A poll of the inhabitants of Banbury has been taken—95' against compulsory vaccination, and 109 for it, 407 being neutral The population is about 10,000. The French residents of Biene, Switzerland, have resolved t( present M. Gambetta with a gold watch worth 500f., in acknow ledgement of his services to the Republic. Alice Rhodes, one of the prisoners charged with the murder of Mrs. Harriet Staunton, has given birth to a child in the Kent County Prison,Maidstone. The definitive design for the great Exhibition cascade at the Trocadero, in Paris, has been completed. The work will cost nearly 1,000,000f., and the quantity of water used daily will be 35,000,000 cubic metres. The Prince and Princess of Wales have consented to honour Wantage with a visit on the occasion of unveiling the statue of King Alfred, which has been presented to the town by Colonel Loyd-Lindsay, M.P. The ceremony will probably take place about the middle of July. The Archbishop of Canterbury has licensed the Rev. G. E. Gardner, senior curate of St. Pancras, to be curate in sole charge of St. James's. Hatcham; and has endorsed on the back of the license that his chaplains, the Rev. Crawford Tait and the Rev. T. Davidson, shall be assistant curates. Mr. Arthur Adderley, the third son of Sir Charles Adderley, who has just attained his majority, was drowned on Sunday, July 1, by falling over the falls of Bruar, Blair Athol, a depth of about one hundred feet. Late on Wednesday evening, June 27, the family of Mr. Hard- wick, J.P., West Combe, Wimbledon, were alarmed by hearing a noise in the dining-room. It was found that a bullet had entered the window with considerable force, damaging a marble mantel-piece. It was supposed to be the result of rifle practice on Wimbledon Common. The Athenaeum says that Messrs. Sotheby, Wilkinson, and Hodge, have for sale during the present season a remarkable copy of the First Folio Shakespeare, with the correct title and verses by Ben Johnson. Although both are inlaid, the volume is unusually large, being both taller and broader than the "Daniel" copy. Three men and a boy were drowned on Sunday, July 1, in the Bristol Channel, a, mile from the Flat Holmes. They were in a punt, and one of the party upset it. Three sank at once, and were drowned; the other floated on the punt for twenty minutes, when he sank. Two others of the party were picked up about two hours after. The Pall Ifall Gazette is informed that at a meeting of the society of the Holy Cross, to be held in a few days, the book, The Priest in Absolution," will be withdrawn. This result will have been obtained owing to a friendly conference between the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London and the Revs. F. H. Murray and C. F. Lowder, and other members of the Society. Sir Henry Thompson says:—"I have visited rich and poor, high and low, all my life, and I solemnly declare that the great bulk of the diseases with which I have had to deal arose from the drinking of intoxicating liquor. I do not mean what people call drunkenness, but the regular steady customs in which most of us indulge every day of our lives." Several men were tried at the Berkshire Assizes, on June 29, for defrauding the trustees of the Grand Stand at Ascot, during the Ascot race week. They got into the ring with a rush, with- out paying, and afterwards obtained pass-out checks, which they sold. They were sentenced to terms of imprisonment varying from three to twelve months. Good news for sportsmen comes from the French departments, game being abundant year. The first broods of partridges were undisturbed; the second will perhaps have suffered from the mowing time, but the young birds from the more advanced nests got clear away before work with the scythe commenced. Hares are numerous, the winter having been mild and favourable for them. The School Board Chronicle hears from Stockport of the first case of a child earning the right to an "honour certificate" under Lord Sandon's Act. He is under eleven years of age, has passed the fourth standard, and has made 350 attendances per year in the last two years. He is, therefore, entitled to three years' schooling, for which the fees will be paid by the Educa- tion Department. At the first meeting of the General Committee of the National Federation of Liberal Associations, which was held at Birmingham on Monday, July 2, Mr. J. Chamberlain, M.P., presiding, Mr. William Harris was elected chairman of the committee, and Mr. F. Schnadhorst secretary of the Federation. Sub-committees were appointed for organization, finance, and publishing. The subscription list was read, and resolutions were passed providing for the special action of the Federation in certain contingencies. The Whitehall Review hears that the clerical leaders of the Church League for Disestablishment have invited Mr. Gladstone to address its members, as also Canon Carter, of Clewer. The e h same journal says: "Though Mr. Gladstone sympathises with the movement, and has privately commended it to perplexed parsons, he is not as yet prepared to accede to Mr. Mackonochie's wishes, and will decline the invitation. On Saturday, June 30, the annual meeting of the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain Association was held at Grosvenor House, the Duke of Westminster in the chair. The report stated that thirty-three drinking fountains for human beings and fifty-eight troughs for animals had been erected during the last twelve months, making a total number in London at the present time of 324 drinking fountains and 342 troughs. A telegram from the Paris correspondent of the Observer says it is stated in Government circles that the Due Decazes has ex- pressed a strong wish that the elections should be pushed for- ward, as he anticipated that very grave diplomatic questions will soon have to be discussed by the European Powers, and has received an intimation from abroad that Europe will be un- willing to allow France a deliberative voice in these discussions unless the Government has an Assembly at its back. The election for Huntingdonshire was very closely contested. The result of the poll was announced on Saturday night, June 30, and Lord Mandeville, the Conservative candidate, was declared to have been elected by the narrow majority of 50 votes. The num- bers were—Lord Mandeville, 1,468 Hon. H. Fitzwilliam, 1,418. As the county of Huntingdon has been under Conservative re- presentation from time immemorial the result must be regarded as gratifying evidence of the progress of Liberalism. At Feltwell, Norfolk, on Thursday morning, June 28, a man 82 years or age was married to a woman 77. Both were inmates of the almshouses in that village, and they were by no means strangers to the marriage service, for the present was the third time they had each gone through the same interesting ceremony. The bride carried with her to the church a basket containing the good things intended for the wedding festivities, and they were both received with showers of rice and slippers by the parishioners. The Exeter Town Council have for a long time been negociat- ing with the Gas Company for the purchase of their works one of the conditions of the purchase was that the Town Council should secure to the original shareholders ten per cent. in per- petuity. The Town Council have now, however, virtually de- cided, by a majority of 20 to S, to break off the neociations, mainly, as set forth by the mover of the resolution (Mr. Alder- man Follet) on account of the success of the electric light and the probability of its superseding ga.s. Mr. C. H. Collette, solicitor to the Society for the Suppression of Vice, applied at Bow-street, on Thursday, June 28, for a summons against Mr. Duncan, publisher of the Living Age, for libelling him in an article which accused him of having caused the notoriety acquired by the Bradlaugh pamphlet, and increas- ing its sale" from 700 copies in a year to 90,000 in a fortnight," by prosecuting the work on behalf of the Society—the fact being that the Society abstained from the prosecution of Mr. Brad- laugh in the dread of giving the work increased publicity. The application was granted by Sir James Ingham, who suggested that Mr. Collette might recover heavy damages by an action; but the latter said he only desired to clear his character. In the Queen's Bench Division, on Friday, June 29, judgment was given in the case of Sargent v. Dale. This was a proceed- ing in prohibition by the Rev. Thomas Pelham Dale, of St. Vedast, Cheapside, London, to stay proceedings against him under the Public Worship Act, by which his living had been se- questrated. The substantial ground was that the Bishop of London, being the next Datron interested in the avoidance of the living could not intervene. The court held the whole pro- ceedings void, and the rule was made absolute with costs, though the court expressed opinion that this fact had never entered the bishop's mind. The judges in the Queen's Bench division on Saturday, June 30, (Mr. Justice Mellor and Mr. Justice Lush) have ordered a mandamus to issue to the Principal and Fellows of Hertford College, Oxford, directing them to examine, with a view to ad- mitting to a fellowship, Mr. Tillyard, who had been refused on the ground that he is a Nonconformist. The judges gave their judgments (which were written) on somewhat different grounds, Mr..Tustice Mellor being of opinion, apparently, that it is not allowable now to found a Church of England endowment; and Mr. Justice Lush basing his judgment rather on the particular terms of the Hertford College Act and Statutes. But they both arrived at a result adverse to the restriction sought to be set up. The proceedings in connection with the Caxton celebration on Saturday, June 30, commenced with the opening, by Mr. Glad- stone, at South Kensington, of a loan collection illustrative of the origin and development of tlie art of printing. A dedicatory prayer was offered bv the Archbishop of York and Sir Charles Reed, chairman of the Executive Committee, gave a brief history of the exhibition. A dejeuner, presided over by Mr. Gladstone, subsequently took place in the conservatory of the Royal Horticultural Society, and was attended, among others, by the Emperor of Brazil. The memory of William Caxton was proposed by the Chairman, who remarked on the fact that the father of English printing persevered in his business at West- minster at a time when the Church was disposed to regard with jealousy the spread of knowledge. At the annual banquet of the National Union of Conservative Associations at Portsmouth on Saturday, June 30, the Solicitor- General, in responding for her Majesty's Ministers, remarked that at no time in the history of the world had such momentous issues been hanging upon the discretion, the wisdom, and the disinterestedness of those who had charge of tliedestinies of this country. The Government recognized, he believed, as one of the leading principles of their foreign policy that they would do right and observe justice, remembering also that there was such a tiling as truth when they were dealing with other nations and it was the distinguishing feature of English diplomacy above all other diplomacies that English ministers, when they spoke or wrote, were known to mean what they said. The policy of the all other diplomacies that English ministers, when they spoke or wrote, were known to mean what they said. The policy of the Government was one by which peace and happiness, truth and justice, religion and piety, might be established amongst us for all generations. Ex-President Grant was on Thursday, June 28, entertained at a banquet by the Mayor of Liverpool, in the Town Hall. In responding to the toast of his health, General Grant said that the reception which he had met with in England had far exceeded in cordiality anything he had expected. Alluding to a remark made in the course of the evening with respect to the English army, the general observed that he had seen more soldiers at Aldershot than there were altogether in the United States; but that country depended upon its volunteers, of whom General Fairchild and himself were samples.—While at Windsor castle on Tuesday, General Grant received the follow- ing telegram from Governor Hartranft, of Pennsylvania, the commander of the grand army of the republic, an association numbering a million of men, and composed exclusively of those who fought in the national armies during the war of the rebellion "Your comrades in national encampment assembled in Providence, Rhode Island, send heartiest greeting to their old commander, and desire through England Queen to thank England for Grant's reception." At Wolverhampton on Friday, June 29, a plasterer named Henry Rogers murdered his wife in a most deliberate manner. Between four and five o'clock in the morning Rogers presented himself at the police station, stating that he had cut his wife's head off, and that her dead body was lying beside a hayrick, near the Whitmore Reans, where they had passed the night. The man's blood-stained hands and clothes corroborated his confession, and at the spot indicated the police found the body of the woman. Her head was nearly severed, and she was be- sitles fearfully gashed on the head. face, and hands, showing that she had struggled for her life. Wrapped in an apron, and peacefully slumbering, close by lay their female infant child. Hogers is twenty-seven vears of age, and deceased was a few years hisjunior. They have lived very unhappily, and roag about the country, sometimes being separated for weeks together. It is known that the prisoner was jealous of his wife.
