PLACES Of OPPORTUNITY. Many years ago, when very young, I wanted to write for newspapers, and thought that if the opportunity were given tc me I could accomplish much good. A newspaper then seemed to me to be, and really it;, a place of opportunity. In those days a place of opportunity appeared to be the only thing that was needed in order to achieve great good, but now I know that before great good can be achieved other things than place of opportunity are required. My friends must not think 1 am going to -say that failure and disappointment have been my lot. Nothing of the sort. I see clearer now than then that life is a good thing, and that it was always good and will be always good. I want to write about Places of Opportunity, because just now many of these places are about to be filled, and it is of consequence how they are filled, and in what spirit, and by whom they are occupied. On the 1st of November at Aberystwyth four places of opportunity will have to be filled. A seat on a town council is a considerable place of opportunity, not merely for personal pride and local honour, but for bringing a spirit of righteous- ness into local self-government. Much has been done during the past to make Aberystwyth a town fit to live in. More still can be done. Clean water has been obtained, and some- thing has been done towards obtaining a cleaa atmosphere. Every citizen has not yet learnt that heaped-up filth makes the atmosphere unclean, and lessens each individual's chance of enjoyable life. I sometimes think how comparatively easy it would be to make Aberystwyth an almost perfect place of residence. All that is wanted is that those who occupy places of opportunity should be brave and honest in deed and word, and should do their duty—councillors and officials. I am told that two of the candidates for seats on the Town Council—Mr Powell and Mr Ems-are to be opposed by some electors because they have dared to protest against what seemed to them to be wrong. Wrong is often a matter of opinion, but surely the inhabitants of Aberystwyth are not going to oppose honest endeavour, Mr Griffith Williams has been grossly insulted, and has retired from the Council. There were once upon a time, at Ephesus, certain makers of silver shrines who were called together against a man who was supposed to have endangered their craft, A great uproar was made. and the whole city was in confusion. I have no doubt if Paul, Gaius, and Aristarehus had tried to get into the Town Council of Ephesus they would have been defeated, while Demetrius, the silversmith, would have been put at the head of the poll, and probably have been made Mayor Men are very unjust when they think that their craft is in danger, but as a rule they cool down, and in the end do justice. If Town Councillors and all other persons who ocvupy places of opportunity were in earnest to promote the highest interests of the people it strikes me that we could often quickly soive great questions in small communities. The preacher ojmpies a place of opportunity, and there are times when he is called upon to render great service. All administrators of public affairs occupy places of opportunity. Whoever is entrusted with power, or who is gifted with eloquence, occupies a place of opportunity, and it behoves him to be true. Even when clamour is great, and when profit seems to lie with falseness, it behoves him to be true. That episode iu which Demetrius played a part nearly two thousand years ago, might have happened last Saturday night at Aberystwyth, only on Saturday night, the cry was not Great is Diana of the EphesÜns," hut" Great is John "Barleycorn and the spirit of Bung." What has become of the silver shrines, and what of great Diana; How history repeats itself, and how human nature remains the same in all ages all over the world. Let those who occupy places of opportunity make it clear to the people that they are not going to be advantaged by building traps and snares for them- selves and their children. It is not wise for men to dig pitfalls in the day tirre .into which they will stumble at night, even if they are paid high wages for digging them. If those who occupy places of opportunity could only believe that rightness is always right, what power for good they could wield, but they do not believe it with all their heart and souls, and dare not trust ft.

THE OT flER SIDE. There are a few persons in Wales who trade on the iguoranoe of the people by trying to make out that it is a great and glorious thing to speak the Welsh language. These patriots say that nobody who cannot speak Welsh ought to be elected to any position in Wales. At last Saturday's meeting of the Carnarvon Board of Guardians, Mr T. R. Jones said that he desired to draw the attestion of the Board to the action of the London and North-Western Railway Company in discharging several men employed on the permanent wybecause of their inability to understand Englifih. Me instanced two or three cases of men of excellent character who had been so dealt with, the test to which they were put be- ing t:1P reading of the book of regulations, and translating the satne orally. What is the dtfliereace between refusing to em- ploy man who cannot epeak English and refusing to employ teen who cannot speak lNalsh; I have often protested against thOole bastard patriots who. for their own profit, are creating pre- judice against the Welsh people in England. If Wales is made into a close preserve for the Welsh, it may be fownd that Englaad will be a plaec where W'elslmvju hOll it hard to live in.

ABERYSTWYTH. 8: ANNIVERSARY SERVICES.—The annual preaching meetings of the Independent Church, Baker street, were held on Tuesday evening, and Wednesday. The preachers were the Revs H. M. Hughes, Cardiff; B. Davies, Trelech, and 0. R. Owen, Glandwr. PUBLIC MEETING.—[n our advertising columns notice will be found of a public meeting to he held next Monday evening at the Old Assembly Rooms, under the auspices of the local branch of the Cymru Fydd League, when addresses will he delivcrd by Mr D. Lloyd George M. P. and Mr Wynford Phillip-, late M.P. for Mid-Lanark. RATEPAYER'S ASSOCIATION.—In view of the forth- coming municipal election a special meeting of the ratepayer's association was convened for Friday even- ing but owing to the poor attendance, the meeting was adjourned to Friday the 26th. Those present were Messrs John Edwards, W. Morris, H. Lloyd. S. Clitheroe, D. J. Lewis, John Morgan, Richard Ed- wards, and Councillor Isaac Hopkins. ACCIDENT.—On Friday afternoon a hoy about twelve years of age named John Higgins, living in Windmill- court, was knocked down by a cart, and it was feared that one of the wheels had parsed over his body. A neighbour carried the lad at once to the I firinary where it was found that. with the exception of a few bruises and cuts, he had escaped iujury. LAW AND ORDER.—A correspondent writes Will you allow me a little of the valuable space in your paper to ask if it would not be possible to stop the noise made by Young Aberystwyth" on the esplanade of an evening. Small boys make it their playground for football and various other no sy games, much to the annoyance of the visitors in the houses, and others walking outside. Surely if a policeman was ofcener on the scene some of the unseemly shoutings which can heard nightly might be prevented. HORTICCLTCRAL SOCIETY.—A committee meetiug of the North Cardiganshire Horticultural Society was held at the Town Hall last week, when the accounts of the show were passed and ordered to be audited. The first annual meeting will be hel.1 on the 9th January, 1895, when the report of the committee will be presented with the balance sheet, w hieh, we are happy to say, shews a profit of about f25 which is carried forward to next year. The Society deserves to be successful, and is to be congratulated on the very favourable start made. WEDDINI..—At the Presbyterian Church in this ton, on November 20th the marriage was solemnized between the Rev D. Cunllo Davies, of Pantglis, Caio, Carmarthenshire, Pastor of Hope Chapel, Blaina, Mon., and Miss Emily Lloyd, of No. 30, Portland-street, in this town. The bride was given away hy her father, and Mr Wm. Davies, of Chelsea, London, brother of the bridegroom, acted as best man. The Rev Richard Hughes, B.A., the Pastor of the above church, officiated. The young couple left by the 8-25 train for Loudou for their honeymoon.

Pinkston, (Capt.) forwards, right wing, T. H. Bates, and G. Matthews centre, G. Ray left wing. A. Taylor, and J. Jones. Referee, Mr Fred Evans, Wrexham. MEETING.—On Saturday a rumour was current that the men engaged by Mr Grant on Constitution Hill would be discharged, and that they were going to parade the streets in the evening and make an out-of-work demonstration. It is understood that rather than send them off at once, Mr Grant gave them to under- stand that he could Hot give tnein employment after the expiration of the week. About six o'clock a crowd of about 100 persons assembled near the Pier head and there was talk of a meeting on the Pier. It was said that Mr Grant was adverse to a meeting in the streets. The Pier doors were opened, but as no leaders appeared, no one was allowed on the structure. About half past six a crowd gathered about Mr W. Morris and others, and he and Mr Clithero and others addressed it from the step3 &f Dr Gilbertson's, house. Members of the police force were present and did not prevent the holding of a meeting on the promenade. STORM.—A gale, accompanied hy lightning, hail. and rain, arose suddenly on Wednesday evening and continued throughout the night, and, in a modified form, yesterday. Wednesday opened cloudy with a fresh wind from the west, but during the morning the sky cleared, the sun came out, and up till about five o'clock the day was warm aud pleasant for Ocobsr. Between four o'clock and five a severe gale sprung up with the incoming tide, and from that time until seven immense waves rolled up to the Terrace walls, and, at the bottom end, broke against the wall, and masses of spray were carried by the wind over against the houses. The boatmen were taken unaware and one or two of the pleasure boats were damaged before they could be taken from the beach on to the Promenade. There appears to have been no damage done by the storm either on the sea front or in the town, excepting the usual blowing down of loose plaster a.nd slates. The lightniog was very vivii, but the thunder was not much heard at Aberystwyth. It was expected that the next tide between four and five on Thursday morning would be higher than on Wednesday evening, but by that time the wind had gone back to the south, and had considerably moderated. CntRe FYDD.—On Friday evening the members of this society had the pleasure of listening to an inter- esting address by Professor D. M. Lewis M. A., in which he dealt with the influence of education making spec al reference to I the Welsh dialects. Professor Lewis said they lived in very important times. Per- hapslthplpeople of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries also felt that they lived in important times. They should not forget that the past was connected with the future, anj that they, who lived in the present day, were a kind of link betwt" n the two. The present contained the fruit cf the past, and germs of the future. They were sometimes too ready to forget the con- tinuity of time, and that their influence on the future might be very great. The lecturer's treatment of the perplexed question of the decay of village life, and the migration of population from rural to urban districts showed that he had paid con- siderable attention to that subject. Professor Lewis said that one of the results of modern Welsh revival was the greater attention paid to the Welsh language. In Welsh they had two languages—one for conversa- tional purposes, and another for the pulpit and plat- form. The language of the people was the spoken language, and the literary language was dead in so far as it differed from the spoken language. That language which expressed their thoughts did not de- serve to be called a dead language. It would be unfair and inconsistent to say that the Welsh lang- uage was corrupt because it madn use of foreign words; every language could be charged with corruption in that serse and none more so than the English. New words were imported with newin-entious and discoveries in Sciences and Art. In order to improve the dialects of Wates it was necessary to improve the people of Wales. The dialects of a people, by proper use, should be the best and most important medii of education. RESCCE.—The old adage A friend in need is a friend indeed was never better exemplified than en Tuesday morning test, when the fishing smack Queen Bee belonging to Mr Alfred Worthington, was seen in the offing, hanging on to her nets and in danger. On Monday afternoon the "Queen Bee" with a crew of three men, Alfred Worthington, Fred Worthington and Tom Edwards, left the harbour with a fair E S.E. wind to go out herring fishing. In the evening after reaching her grounds the wind freshened. Between 11 and 12 o'clock it" was howling and equally, and increased during the night. At daybreak on Tuesday morning the smack was sighted as above. About 9 o'clock a crew of twelve volunteered to man Coxswain Williams'boat the "Gwladys" to render assistance. Although the wind was strongly in favor of the "Gwladys" it took her nearly an hour to reach the "Queen Bee.' Climbling like rats, four of the volunteers boarded her, and in a very short time she was under weigh tor hcme with the Gwladys astern. There were a few longing hearts, and many anxious eyes turned towards the sea. When the "Queen Bee's" forestay gave wa,), leaving her like a log to the mercy of wind and wave, the anxiety became painful to those who knew what it meant. In an incredibly short time the volunteers had rigged the forestay anew, and she was under weigh again, iwith her bow towards Wallog. After getting well under cover of the hill she made a bee line for home, and anchored off the Marine-terrace, after an hour and thirty-five minutes struggle against wind and tide. On landing it was observed that both rescued and rescuwrs were cold and shivering. A sailors friend had anticipated this, and was ready on the beach with hot coffee, and its stimu- lating effects were soon visible. The brothers Worth- ington were nearly exhausted and had to go home at once. The rescuers were David Williams, coxswain of the life boat Evao Daniel, second coxswain Morgan Jooes, Thomas William Lewis, grandson of tiie old Coxawain. and nephew of the present Cox- swain, Wiilr«n Witliatnf.

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF WALES. MEETING OF THE COURT OF GOVERNORS. On Wednesday afternoon a meeting of the Court of Governors of the University College of Wales was held at Aberystwyth, under the presidency of Mr J. F. Roberts, Manches'er, one of the vice-presidents. There were a'so present Mr W. R. M. Wynne, Peniarth, Lord-Lieutenant of Merioneth Mr A. C. Humphreys Owen, M.P.. Glan Severn; Principal Roberts. Mr and Mrs Vaughan Davies, Tanybwlch; the Rev Llewelyn Edwards, Ardwyn; Mr Ernest Trubshaw, Aelybryn, Llanelly the Rev Lewis Jan.es, Brynbank, Pembroke the Rev Thos. Levi, Aberystwyth Mr F. W. A.

Williams, Bronheulog Miss E. A. Fewings, Dolgelley Mr J. Smout, Llanidloes; Mr Joseph Thomas, Haverfordwest Dr. H. Lloyd Snape. Aberystwyth: Mr Thomas Thomas, Carmarthen; Mr A. J. Hughes Mr J. J. James, Aberystwyth Miss Marsh, Carno; Mr J. M. Howell, Aberayron Mr Wm. Jones, Birmingham Miss Armstrong, London Mr David Samuel. M.A., Aberystwyth; Mr H. C. Fryer, Aberystwyth and Mr T. M. The CHAIRMAN, commencing the business, said he was not going to make a speech exactly, but there were things he thought he ought to bring before the Governors. In the first place, he wished to con- gratulate the Court that the College commenced this year's session with 350 students as against 292 last year. (Applause.) That. was a very substantial increase. (Hear, hear.) He might add that every- thing was going on very satisfactorily, and they were all highly pleased with the pleasant condition of things connected with their belcved College. (Cheers.) The students were doing very well. He saw by the report that in July no fewer than 40 students passed the intermediate examination, and that was proof that really good work was being done in the College. (Hear, hear.) There was one other matter to which he would refer before proceeding to actual business. All knew that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had promised £10.000 for the completion of the College buildings on condition that f5,000 was raised by the friends of the College. One gentleman also, who had promised £ 500, had made it a condition of payment of that sum that the balance should be raised within the present year. That was a very important matter, and a good deal of the time of the Council that morning had been occupied in deciding how to raise that balance. Well, first of all, there was the town of Aber- ystwyth. He thought all would agree withhim that Aberystwyth had received the lion's share of the benefit of that College—(hear, hear)—and the College expected that Aberystwyth would do its duty in raising a very substantial sum towards the balance to be obtained. In addition to that their excellent Principal had drafted a letter which was to be sent to all churches and chapels iu Wales asking for one collection before Christmas. The letter was very forcible, and he had no doubt that the churches and chapels of Wales would do what they had done on a former occasion. (Hear, hear). Then they had their friend, Mr Wm. Jones, of Birmingham, with them that morning—(cheers)—and Mr Green, the registrar, stated that Mr Jones had sent his cheque for £1.000. (Cheers.) If he had the gift of speech he should praise Mr Jones for his timely assistance. He had come out nobly in support of that movement. (Hear, hear.) There was still another important, matter. He (the Chairman) had been coming to Aberystwyth for five-and-twenty years, and it had been an eyesore to him every time to see the unfinished state of the College building. (Hear, hear.) The Council had passed a resolution that morning to take the first step towards completing the building. (Cheers.) They had requested the Senate to inform tlia Council at jts next titting, in about a month, what additional space was required for the several departments. When the Council had that information, the next step, he presumed, would be the engagement of the architect or architects, and then would follow the build- ing. It might, therefore, be now said that the completion of the building was within sight. (Cheers.) The work would not be done at once, but the first step had beew taken, and he was sure their excellent friend, Mr Humphreys Owen, and the Building Committee would not leave a stone unturned or waste any time in completing the whole of the building. They would have to take down the central part and make it convenient and suitable for the purposes of the College. (Hear, hear.) Compared with what had been done in the past, the raising of the balance required was a very small matter. In fact it was nothing. Still there was a possibility of sleeping over the matter. Air Green, the registrar, had, however, been appointed organizer and would do his duty, so by their next meeting the balance would have been obtained and the Government grant secured. (Cheers.) On the proposition of Mr HUMPHREYS OWEN, seconded by Mr ROCHE, it was agreed to sanction a charge on the fabric and revenues of the College to secure £50 as interest on a loan in perpetuity of £2.000 granted to the College by Mr Thomas Davies, J.P. On the adoption of the report of the Council on the work of the College in its several departments during the year ended June 30th, 1894, the PRINCIPAL said he had to fill in blanks which it was impossible to do in the draft report. The number of students at the beginning of Michaelmas term, 1S93, was 292 at the end of Easter term, JS94, 315 at the opening of session 1894 5, 315, to which some 15 theolo- gical students, taking Habrew, had been added since the report had been drawn up, making l tQt&l af 330; number of new students i at beginning of Michaelmas term, 1893, 149 number at the beginning of Michaelmas term, 1894, 125 number of women students at the end of session 1893-4, 132 at the beginning of session 1894-5, 135. Of the total number was contributed to by the following counties Anglesey, 5 Carnarvon, 1 Denbigh, 8 Flint, 6 Merioneth, 33 Montgomery, 1 total, 54 for North Wales. Brecon, 3 Cardigan, 60 Carmarthen, 16 Glamorgan, 33 Pembroke, 6 Radnor, 2; Monmouth, 2 total for South Wales, 122 From England, including Welsh and English students, 137 Scotland, 1 and Switzerland, I. The Principal continued by saying that among the 28 students who passed the London matriculation examination from that College last June there were 15 normal students. That was a very large and satisfactory number when the I great difficulty those students laboured under was con- sidered in combining their university studies with the training of teachers, a.nd the disadvantages of pre- paration for College in many cases. Attention had already been drawn to the large number who passed the intermediate examination of the London University. When they tock the large number in that examination, into account on the one hand and the high poution attained by five students in the M.A. examination at London University on the ether, he thought it showed the scope of the work of the College both in meeting the needs of the majority of students and also the special needs of students who took advanced study in special subjects. On page 9 of the report would be found the scholarship list. That list showed that out of 22 awards, or 21 if they excluded the scholarship which fell to an in-college students, eight fell to English candidates and fourteen to Welsh candidates—(hear, hear)—and, if they took the money value of the went to English candidates and JE175 to Welsh candidates. (Hear, hear.) That did not take into account the Cynddelw scholarship or the special agricultural scholarships given in connection with County Councils. In re- spect of the detailed reports submitted by the heads of the various departments of the College, he desired to call attention to the remarks of Professor Marshall in regard to the work of the normal students and the difficulties under which they laboured in attacking the Univer&ity subjects that they had to deal with, owing to the inadequacy of their traiaing. He (the Principal) did that in order to lay emphasis upon the necessity for reform in the training of pupul teachers. (Hear, hear). Something had been already done in many districts in Wales^—particularly in the more populous districts—by the establishment of pupil teachers' centres where pupil teachers attended one or two after- noons in the week, and were taught either by some of the teachers themselves, the headmasters of schools selected for the purpose, or by a specially-appointed teacher for the centre. Further, he hoped it might be possible for those students to gain something from the intermediate schools. He was glad to understand that in the case of Festiniog Intermediate School arrange ments had been made for the pupil teachers of that district to attend the intermediate school for two years, and then to go back into the board schools to teach for two years more. In that way they would combine the experience of teaching which they got at present with the instruction essential for them to obtain if they were to qualify as teachers in the various subjects of school iuatructiou. He trusted it would be possible to extend that excellent method. (Hear, heir). In con nection with the same subject, he would al-o point to the fact mentioned by Professor Anwyl. professor of Welsh, that a syllabm of Welsh for normal students prepared by him had been approved by the Education Department. The difficulty found in connection with the study of Welsh on the part of elementary teachers in the College was that the pressure of the other subjects they had to deal with, was so great that it would be unwise on their part to undertake to give, under present con- ditions, the necessary attention to the study of Welsh. He was glad to be able to point out, however, that there was a door of hope in that direction in connection with the new University of Walts. That University would, he hoped, lay down a course of instiuction which would meet the needs of normal students as of all students, and would give a prominent place to the study of Welsh, which study was only recognised at present by the University of London in its most advanced examination—namely, the M.A. examina- tion. Once the new curriculum of studies had begun to work, he anticipated that a large number of students, training to become teachers in both primary and secondary schools, would take as part of their course a training in Welsh which was provided in the College. The same remark applied to the study of Hebrew as would be seeu from the report of Dr Ethe. Welfh and Hebrew might be taken as types of subjects which would be developed in an altogether different manner from anything that had been possible in the past, owing to the establishment of the new University. He should like, further, to call attention to a still greater reform in connection with the day training department, which was indicated in the report of Professor Holman. Fe contemplated that the Education Department should allow normal students during their first two years in the University Colleges to devote themselves to the University sub- jec's, and should then receive a third year exclusively demoted to training in the theory and practice of education. (Hear hear.) "Such a course," he said, would be likely to stimulate pupil teachers to take a University matriculation examination on or before entering a training college, especially if, as is most desirable, such jxamination were accepted in p'ace of the Queen's Scholarship examination." That pointed to a great reform which must necessarily take many yeirsto bring about; but the object was to place primary teachers exactly upon the same footing as re- garded equipment for their profession as secondary teachers, or even University teachers. (Hear, hear.) The College recognized, and ought to recognize, no distinction between those classes of teachers, nor ought they to recognize that the work which the elementary teachers had to do was in any way less difficult-ia some respects it was more difficult-than the work secondary teachers had to do. (Cheers.) He next came to the extension work done by the College in the form of evening lectures and classes held to some extent in Aberystwyth, and throughout the district. In connection with that work he deirerl to emphasize the necessity of develop- ing and working the evening continuation code. (Hear, hear.) Those who were acquainted with that code would fiod that it was exceedingly flexible—that it gave opportunities to those who were not them- selves professional teachers, but who might be inter- ested in the work of teaching, of being approved by the Inspector as teachers on the staff of those evening continuation schools. One reason, probably, why up to the present time those schools had not been estab- lished to any large extent in that district was that the elementary teachers were already, perhaps, more than > sufficiently worked in the day schools. It was, there-3 fore, necessary far them to be supplemented by volun- i tary teachers, the subjects might include not only scientific subjects but general subjects, and it would be quite possible to introduce into the work of the evening schools the reading of books connected with the literature or history of Wales, or any book of value and interest to the young people who were now so largely unprovided for in the villages and country districts of Wales. (Cheers.) He called attention to that matter because he thought it would facilitate the work done by that College and similar institutions in the form of extension lectures on agriculture and other subjects. It would have the effect of awakening the intelligence of young men and women in such a way as to make them feel the need of such lectures, and he believed that much work of that kind was necessary before the College could develope a complete system of adult instruction. (Hear, hear.) The courses of evening lectures now going on in many centres might be worked in connection with those evening continuation schools. (Hear, hear.) After saying that the summer vacation classes which did useful work were not attended in very large numbers, owing to the whole cost having to be borne by the students themselves, including travelling expenses, the PRINCIPAL referred to work done in Montgomery and Merioneth in subjects other than agriculture, adding that he was glad the County Council of Merioneth had arranged for the coming winter a course of Welsh lectures on geology and mining at Festiniog, Abergynolwyn, Corris, and Harlech. Concluding, he spoke of the raising of to meet the Government grant of £10,000. First of all, he said, a meeting would be held at Aberystwyth at which Mr T. E. Ellis would be present. Apart from that, an appeal was be- ing linde through the newspapers, and the Council of the College had thought it a notable ocoasioa justify- ing an appeal to the churches and chapels of Wales. (Applause). Mr VAVH;HAN DAnEs then moved the adoption of the report of the Agricultural Department, observing that it was intended to appoint a Welsh assistant lecturer. Mr PRICE, Nantyrhan, and the Rev LEWIS JAMES having said complaints had been made in Brecon and Pembroke thtt the young women sent to instruct in dairying could not spuak Welsh, Toe REGISTRAR explained that several Welsh- speaking young women had already taken a course of eight w eeks' practical course, and in Jauuary next would take a theoretical course, so in future there would be no difficulty. Mr HOMPIIKEYS-OWEN brought up the Treasurers' report, aud said that Mr Edward Davies, Llandiuam, would have be n present but had an important engagement in South Wales. There was. lie observed, a very gratifying incrtase in receipts from students' f0pS_a total increase of £ 92o. That 'tierease on £:2:3,000 was very gratifying as it approximated fifty per cent. The Normal and Agricultural Departments showed deficits of £5:35 and £ lG!j 'espectivcly, butt that was in consequence of these departments being charged wir.h their proportion of the working expenses I of the College. The long and the sh"rt of the whole thing was that there was a balance to the good of That also was better than it Sfenird because a grant had been made to the Building Fund account ot Proceeding, Mr Humphrtys-Owen said he looked with very great pleasure to the growth of the Women's Hostel, which was now established as firmly as any part of the College. The total sum of £14,000 was wanted, of that sum £2,000 had been granted by the Pfeiffer Truotees, £2,000 would be obtained on a mortgage on the buddings, and the balance wi'U be lent by the N.P. Bank on mortgage at interest. He hoped, if the Hall of Resi- dence went on in the future as it had done in the past, that that would be recognized as a debt due by the country, and would be so discharged. (Hear, hear) He ought not to pass by that subject without ncog- niziug the liberal and public spirit of the Corpora ion of Aberystwyth in granting the very advant>g. ous site the College was now in possession of. (Cheers.) The contract had Jbeen let, the contractor had gone down to a firm foundation, and no doubt the contract would be completed by the 30th June, 1S96. Mr TRUBSHAW moved the adoption of the reports, and they were adopted. The following were elected members of the Council in room of 13 retiring members, several being re- elected:—The Hon. W. N. Bruce, Col. D Ivis Evans, Sir James Hills Johnes, Professor John Rhys, Dr Garrod Thomas, Newport Mr T. Jeremy Thomas, London Mr W. Williams. Aberystwyth Professor Ellis Edwards, Mr John Francis, Wallog Mr John Jones, Llanfyllin Mr Wm. Jones, Birmingham the Rev T. Levi, and Mr J. D. Perrott, Aberystwyth. Miss E. P.

On the proposition of the Rev LLEWELYN EDWARDS, seconded by the Rev LEWIS JAMES, it was agreed to thank the Coancellor of the Exchequer for the grant of £10.000. Mr WM. WiLLiAMs, Bronheulog. expre-sed the satisfaction of the Court the arrangements made for the immediate erection of the Hali of Residence, and recorded its gratitude to the Pfeiffer Trustees fur their generous contribution of £2,000. Miss ARMSTRONG seconded the proposition, and it was agreed to. During the counting up of the votes for the election of counodlors, the Chairman read a letter from Dr Garrod Thomas, a native of Cardiganshire, subscrib- ing t:100 towards making up the £5,000, and the fol- lowing sums were promised in the room :—Mr Charles E. Howell, Welshpool, £5; Mr Roche, £2;3; Mi- Ernest Trubshaw, £10 10s. Mr and Mrs Vaughan Davies, £]00; Mr Joseph Thomas and Miss Ada Thomas, Haverfordwest, £10 10s. each Mr J. D. Perrott, Aberystwyth, £10. These sums, with the sums already announced, reduce the balance required tojei.SGO. On the proposi'ion of Mr PRICE, seconded by Mr HUMPHREYS OWEN, it was agreed to hold the meeting at Brecon, aud a vote of thanks to the Chair- man terminated the business.

SIR,—The new Local Government Ad has opened the way for women, equally with men, to sit on Boards of Guardians. We, the undersigned, take this opportunity to oflfer ourselves as candidates to he electors for two out of the four wards into whieh Aberystwyth has been divided. It is hardly neccssary to say that we are hoth well-known in the town and district, and especially to the poor and working classes. Having for many Tears heen connected, more or less, wit h charitable and public work, we have considerable experience to bring: to the important work that women may do on Boards of Guardians. We hold that it is only right and just that women ratepayers should Iote represented on the Board Ly a fair proportion of their own scx.-We are, Sir, vnnr, "'c fELIZABETH JAMES. &.C., ^CATHEUIXE MORGAN. THE LATE MR. BRADBURY. SIR,—Kindly aHow me space in your paper to say that although IllY hrother had been at the Board Schools for so long a time, I had never been to Aberystwyth, distance alone having prevented me. My first visit under such painful circumstances was a melancholy one. It was, however, a consolation, not only to myself, hut to all of liS, to see the deep sympathy expressed by all to his sorrowing wife and daughter. I cannot let the opportunity pass without express- ing my heartfelt gratitude to the inhabitants of Aberystwyth who showed by their expressions of sympathy that my brother had won their respect. He died in harness fighting the upward battle of Hfe-and although his face WillIW more be seen, his work will still he left behind in those who have passed through his training. I returned horne, hut carried with me a great consolation when I saw your sympathy and respect towards my hrother and his family.—Yours, &c., THOMAS BRADBURY. AN UNGRATEFUL COUNTRY. SIR,—May I ask you to be kind enough to make my case public by inserting the following statement in the Cambrian Xr im. I joined the 41st Foot when I was IS years of age in the year 1841. We sailed for India a few months after I joined. I saw aotive service with lilY regiment in Afghanistan. We went through the Khyber Pass and had many engagements with the Afghans, often hand to hand. We were leu by General Xott. T was wounded in my right side by one of the enemy's bullets, but soon recovered and fought on for the rest of the campaign. We returned to Kurrachee, and when on sentry duty 1 was suddenly struck down with a paraletic stroke atiecting my side and also my speech. I was in the huspital for some time and had to return home an invalid- I received a pension of tid. per day for three years. This, however, was stopped, and I had to go to the Workhouse for seven months. J made numerous applications to bava HlY pension renewed, but have been told that owing to my having served only 3 years and IS days in the army that 1 fJVY' t entitled to it. I consider this a hardship in face of toe fact that I have shed my blood and have been ruined pnynicauy in the service ot my country. After leaving the 01 1 had to live for about 12 months on charity- ,5 people then gave me a small donkey cart and some ait hen- ware. For 30 years I struggled on hopelessly wit.n t i>, with the wolf ever at my door. At last I got toololo| take^he little cart about. I and my wife have lived to • '*t three and-a-half years upon 3s. each which we iecL vt Hotu the Aberystwyth Union. 7- 1 am now 74 years of age and my wife is • m t are both quite helpless. The British ratepayeis p. j nundreds of thousands of pounds to people who have n ti none anything but play at soldiers at home, f have fouguc tor my country in a foreign land and am now left to starve. I ours obediently, Trefechan, Aberystwyth, Oct. 3rd, 1,. his JOHN X mcE. mark LAMPETER DRAINAGE AND WATER SUPPLY. SIR,,—In your issue of last week yoU refer, in A leading article, to a statement made by me respecting the water- supply of the town of Lampeter at a meeting of ratepayers lately held here. 1 stated, as mentioned by you,thut there was a scarcity of water at i-ampeter in summer, but YOll omitted an important part Oi what followed, namely that the scarcity was caused by the great waste of water owing to the public conduits and other taps being allowed to run continuously. You also referred to letters of Ratepayer," which appeared in recent Issnes uf your paper, and although it was also stated in those letters that the scarcity of water was attributed to the waste and the water being used for irrigating lawn tennis grounds, you did not allude to this in your article, but. persisted in stating that Lampeter is not sufficiently supolieu with water. If you will make proper inquiries you will find that for the population of Lampeter the present supply of water is ample, if arrangements can be made to prevent the waste referred to. The Local Govern- ment Board w satisfied as to the sutliciellcy of the supply before the works were proceeded with and authority given to borrow the £ l,(;uo spent in carrying out the scheme. As you are good enough to state in your article that I am an authority on the water supply question, ) think that until you can prove that the present supply is insufficient, you oug-ht to accept luy statement. With reference to the proposed drainage of Bridge-street, to which you also refer in your article, you are probably not aware that the Borcujca of Lampeter extends about two miles into the cr.<lmtJ.y, awl the farruers outside the town consider it erv unjust that they should be called upon to pay fur perm inent nnprovement.s rendered necessary owing to the owners of houses in one short street in the town not carrying out the provisions of the Public Health Acts, and the Town Council i oi, enforcing the same. I agree with you in your • clo11iit;? respecting the Peter.vell Estate, namely—" Why not seil tiie ground rents aud the land near the town and let the people fend for themselves? Harford cannot for ever nurse all the inhabitants of Lampeter. He will get good prices for his land, and the lana outside the town will increase in value as the town extends. If the leaseholders could purchase their ground rents theli1 would be no dilhculty whatever in carrying out all necessary sanitary and other improvements, and I teex satisfied that what is now required to he done in Bndge- street would he carried out at once, without calling upon the ratepayers of the Borough to contribute the expense, if the leaseholders could purchase their ground rents. the few freehold houses in the town, not belonging to the 1 eterwell Estate, have been enlarged and greatly improved, during the last thirty years, but for a reason which is obvious the leasehold houses remain the same, and will continue so until the leases expire, unless the leaseholders become the owners of .the freehold, either in the way suggested by you, or by the passing of an Act of Parliament to enable lease- holders to purchase their ground rents —I am, your obedient servant, D. LLOYI). Bryn, Lampeter, Kith Oct., 1S94. [The case is perfectly clear. There is a scarcity of water at Lampeter when water is wanted to flush drains. Thew is plenty of water when it is proposed te spend money to increase the supply. We know all about the boundaries of Lampeter, and we know both Ratepayer" and Ir. D. Lloyd.-ED. C.X. 1
