In the coming April she has been engaged to siug at a concert at Brynmawr, with Mr Edward Lloyd, Loudon, Miss Meredith Elliot, and Signor Foli. Mr Tom Thomas also came out exceedingly well.

Eh'-tric Lighting Platit, -The Acting Clerk said that nothing further hid been received from Mr Nicholson, with regard to the removal of the electric lighting plant, or respecting the Board's refusal of his termi.- Mr G. Owen observed that the poles and wires, in the present state, were a danger.—The Chairman suggested that the Clerk write to Mr Nicholson, asking him to remove the poles and wires forthwith, otherwise the Board would do so at his expense. Glyndwr Street.—The Clerk reported that he had written to the Rev. O. Jones and others in Glyodwr- street with regard to the paving of it but no reply had been received.—Dr John Jones observed that the street was in a very bad con- dition, and it should be improved. Tie suggested that the owners be again written to, asking them to meet the Board in the cost of the work, and that they be in. formed that the Board c u d compel them to carry out the work if they so (Itt-ire(I.-The suggestion was adopted. The Extinguishing of Lamp8. Dr Jones suggested that in future the light in the street lamps be turned off at 10 o'clock on Sunday nights, instead of 11, as at present. Light was not required af:er that time, and they could extend the lighting by a fortnight at the end of the season. The Chairman said the light was regularly put out at 10 o'clock near his house. The ligiits iu the ti.wu were the la-.t put out, couseqiiently it was late wheu they were extiugui thed.—Dr Jones said the matter had been mentioned to him, and he simply suggested it.

Judgment -During the hearing of the judgment summonses a defendant on being asked how mauy children he had, replied that he had four when Iv started, but might have five now if he was not bl ss-d wiui twiis. Iu another ctse a plaintiff said a d. iendant loved '.is wife better than his creditors, for he had given her a gold watch and had not paid his creditor*. Two cases were down for trial by Jury. butm one c se Mr Llovtl George, M.P. said he would dispense with that Jury, and Mr John Charles Hughes said he would dispense with the o:her. Claim for DanuvjtH —Richard Williams of Pandyrodvn, Dolgelley, sued Anna Eva Jones-Vaughan, wife of Major G-neral Jones-Vaughan, C.B., Brynygw in for £3 damages caused by defendant's fowls and a goat. Mr W. R. Davies appeared for plaintiff, and Mr Joan Charles Hufhea for the defendant. Mr Hughes'fstated that General Jones- V aughau left for command in India, an i Mrs Jones Vaughan left for France the clay after the s rvice of the summons. He therefore applied for ;vijounnnent, and intimate i that the action was commenced after the General had left.-J he Judge adjourned the case, with costs against the defendant unless it is proved that the action is vexatious. Davies v. Lloyd.—W. R. D-tvies, solicitor, Dolgelley brought an action for £ 15 15s against Jehu Llovd farmer, Llechwedd-du Bach, Harlech, for costs mcurred in preparation of two bills of sale and in I respect of a lic< asing appeal regarding the Belle Vue, Harlech. John Lloyd was stated to be the purchaser of the premises. The licence had 1>f;s, d by the magistrates, and an appeal was made to Quarter Sessions in 1891. It the first ins-ance Mr Humphreys acted as solicitor, hut on removal from the district, asked Mr Davies to take the matter up which he did. John I Lloyd was the surety for costs, and deposited £25 with Mr D vies. The appeal was unsuccessful. Thomas Hughes who was hopelessly involved iu debt, it was s'a'ed, had absconded, and the question to be tried was who was to pay the CJHlS. Mr J. Bryn Roberts, M.P., »pf«ired fur the plaintiff, and Mr Lloyd Geo* ge, M.P., for tl.e defendant. The hearing of the case la ted SeVi ral hours, aud there were veiy few points of public interest. -1f J. Wordsworth, managing clerk to Mr W. R. Davies, and Mr Davies himself give evidence that Lloyd instructed them to prepare bills of sale and to go on with the appeal. Mr Lloyd George got a diary produced in which items relating to the matter were entered uuder the name of Hughes. I- a so app ar d that Mr Griffith Jones Humphreys appeared before the Penrhyn magistrates for Hughes the tenant, and that, as far as he went, he act d for Hughes in regard to the appeal. There were certain items which M, Lloyd George adm'tted were due by Lloyd himself. Mr Dalies contended, as regarded the diary, that the entry of Hughes was made by the Clerk, and wis simply to ear-mark the subject 01 the buainers, and n .t wh. was to be charged.—His Honour reserved judgment.

TRUE AND FALSE ECONOMY. CAN I AFFORD IT ?—Many people mistako a false for a true economy. Good economy takts care of the pence, letting tne pounds take c.rc of themselves;" bad economy is I- ;L p-,iiiiy wise and a pound foolish." True ecinomy is careful to make the stitch in time which saves nine false ec momy ri-ks the loi-s of a valuable horse for the viant of a nail in a horse shoe, or the lo-s of a fine ship f,;r the want of a pennyworth of tar. In all matters of economy the test question sh;¡uld ah.ays be, C,LO I afio"L it?" For instance, when suffering from any ailment, ask yotirst If, Can j I afford to let this slight cold or little cough develope into asthma, chronic bronchitis, or consuiiintioti ? Can I afford to let this iitt'e want of appetite deepen into indigestion, flatulence, or dys,-)epsia., Can I afford to let this out of sorts" feeling which I suffer fro'n occasionally to settle into a confirmed melancholy ? Can I idl'ord to b t my wife grow weaker day by day under household burdens, or my child, who is now ouly a little delicate, run the risk of being obliged to succumb entirely, or can I my- self afford to run the r sk <f breaking down entirely and giving up my work, all for the want of a little pre- caution ? When you are told that the excellent prepuation known as Gwilym Evans' Quiniue Bitters, which is acknowledged to b- t'!e best tooic remedy ever discovered, would enable vou to avoid all these dangers, the question should not be, Can I afford it ?" but Can I afford to be without it, In m.t cA-,e3 common seuse wili tell you that you CANNOT afford to be nithout it. that you CANNOT afford to run the risk you are now running, while so valuable a remedy as Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters is at hand. Each bblespoonful of this preparation contains a full dos? of Quinine, and a suitable quantity of tin active principles of thp fullowing well-known medicinal herbs Sarsaparilla, Gentian, Bu-dock, Saffron, Lavender, and Dandelion. combined in most happy proportions, and c:noentrated in a pure state, as well as being scientifically prepared to be suitable to all ages, at all seasons of the year, and forming a Tonic Bitters positively unequalled. If you suspect that your Health is beginning to fail, brace up your Nerves, and fortify your Constitution by taking a course of ihis excellent Tonic.
