At the Assizes at Carnarvon on Saturday, before Mr Justice Lush, a young woman, single, aged twenty-three, Elizabeth Owen, Brynwerglodd, Cwmstradilyn, near Port- madoc, was charged with the murder of her newly-born child. To this she pleaded not guilty, but pleaded guilty to man- slaughter. Mr. Trevor Lloyd (instructed by Messrs. Lloyd George and George), on behalf of the prosecution, said that after serious con- sideration he had agreed not to offer evidence on the capital charge, but to accept the plea of manslaughter. His Lordship, having regard to the special circumstances of the case, assented to this course, and the jury found the prisoner guilty of manslaughter. Mr. Artemus Jones (instructed by Mr. J. Jones Morris) called a Rhyl lady, with whom the prisoner had been in service, to speak to her character; Inspector Pritchard also stating that the inquiries he had made proved that the prisoner had given satis- faction wherever she had been. His Lordship, who said he took a serious view of the case, sentenced the accused to twelve months imprisonment with hard labour.

The innova- tion of a week's holiday in the autumn was started last year. The midsummer holidays have been reduced from five weeks to four weeks, so that the children get no more holidays than in past years, but the Managers felt that a week's respite in the autumn would be better than a fifth week in the summer.

Welsh Soldiers in France. I PORTMADOC SUBALTERN'S EXPERIENCES. A Portmadoc subaltern in a letter from France dated October 9th, sa3rs:—It is wonderful how happy and confident all the men are—their letters are very optimistic, the general opinion being that "The Hun is beat to the wide." We hear 'all sorts of rumours as to the state of affairs in Ger- many. Some say that the Boche is com- ing to the end of his resources. I firmly believe he is feeling very uneasy under the enormous pressure of the Allies to-day. I like to see that low wail of despair in the German bulletins these days. The mighty war lords are climbing down at last. There will be such a crash when the facts are known to the German public. Undoubt- edly the opposition of the enemy at all points has changed. He is beginning to realise that "the contemptible little army" has been wrongly estimated, with the re- sult that all hopes of victory have van- ished. I was walking along the trenches to-day and came up against a German pri- soner. I asked where he was captured and was told he was one of the "fed-ups"—a new term for those wise Germans who cross over into our own lines for protection. lien they start giving themselves up like this it is a good sign—one of the best. The place we are now in is absolute in rainc. fine Gothic WQrk knocked to blazes. 11 'have been reading a book on the struggles which took place here early in the war. Those chaps who fought our earlier battles against desperate odds are the men who have saved the situation for us. It is wonderful how they stiffened their wills and how they stood the test until help came in men. guns, and munitions. Is it true that some of the volunteers before being inspected by Lord French at Llandudno resorted to the ingenious device of padding their chests? ° In another letter the writer says—The weather is quite broken and in some places we have to wade through mud and Abater. hat a life and what a game but also, on the other hand, what glorious prospects. My sergeant was presented to- day with the military medal. I have rlso another man in the section who has won this honour. Both decorations were awarded after the battle in Mametz. The sergeant tne other day was slightly ii-elinded in the back with a piece of shell. Another m-an standing by his side got a p ece clean through his shrapnel-proof hel- met. The helmet, like thousands of other cases, saved his life. The Boche is fairly quiet here. This place used to be an absolute inferno in the days gone by. There is a great deal in the old saving, "Things will take a turn." I have just met Major i Richard Lloyd George. He was after a stove for his dug-out. These nights we find it rather cold. I hope we shall have a spell of fine weather again. In a further letter he says—I am glad to hear that the old folks at home are satis- fied with the efforts of the Allies in this great conflict. We are certainly going ahead well and doing wonders. The Boche feels that our artillery fire during the past two or three months is too terrifying for words. What will he think of what we have in store for him in the near future?

PWLLHELI. PREACHING FESTIVAL.-At a Wes- leyan preaching festival at Mynytho on Wednesday and yesterday the preachers were the Revs. R. Jones Williams, Blaenau Festiniog, and R. Conway Pritchard, Pwllheli. APPOINTMENT. — Miss S. Evans Hughes, B.A., daughter of Mr. J. Evans Hughes, Penlan-street, has been appointed an assistant mistress at Portmadoc Inter- mediate School. THE MARKET.—The efforts of the Town Council to make the market some- thing more than a name have met with some success. Last week there was a fair show of produce for sale in the way of eggs and butter, etc., at the market hall. In recent years the market hall has been more of a clearing house for dealers than a place where commodities could be purchased at the ruling market price. The Town Council are resolved to leave no stone unturned to make the market a real one. BOROUGH TRIBUNAL. Pwllheli Borough Tribunal at a sitting on Thurs- day dealt with thirty-two cla ims. The Mayor presided. A clog maker, single, aged twenty-four. Avas granted exemption until January. Mr. Hugh Pritchard, on his behalf, stated that the nran served extensive agricuiltuiia.1 districts, turning out a large quantity of clogs, and re- pairing many thousands a year, and was not able to cope with existing- orders. Mr. Parry, a member of the tribunal: Do you say that people wear clogs nowadays? Mr. Pritchard: Certainly, and the pre- sent dearness of leather and dearth of ready-made boots has resulted in a revival of clogs among country folks, and the de- mand in the near future will be still greater.—Several young tradesmen were granted conditional exemption." Other claimants were given temporary exemp- tion. Two or three claimants were re- fused.

llandecwyn MER. HARVEST.—The harvest festival took place on October 9th. The service was taken bv the Rector and a timely, prac- tieal and eloquent sermon was preached by the Rev. T E. Owen, M.A., vicar of Aberdamn. There was an excellent con- gregation. i The church was docorated by the Misses Jennie and Sarah Jones.

SH-UMATSM-KtONfY 7MMJBII. Rheumatism is due to uric acid crysta-ls in the joints and muscles, the result of excessive uric acid in the system that the kidneys failed to remove as nature in- tended, to which every qualified physician agrees, and this acid is also the cause of backache, lumbago, sciatica, -OUT,, urinary i trouble, stone, gravel, dropsy. The success of Estora Tablets for the. treatment of rheumatism and other forms of kidney trouble is due to the fact that they restore the kidneys to healthy action and thereby remove the cause of the trouble, -,in d have cured numberless cases after the failure of other remedies, which accounts for their superseding out-of-date medicines that are sold at a price beyond all but the wealthy.
