T Census Results. ANALYSIS OF THE FIGURES. LOCAL EDUCATfoN!STS' VtEWS. The plebiscite taken last week of Cardiff parents as to whether it was desired to have Vt<*oh taught in the Cardiff elementary schools bas resulted, as the census of 1901 resulted, in demonstrating that the desire in Cardiff for the inclusion of Welsh in the curricalam of the primary schools is deep-rooter and extensive. In a cosmopolitan town like Cardiff it wunld, of course, be absord to expect an absolute majority of parents in favonr of such a conrae, and in view of the known fact that there has baen displayed towards ths movement a good deal of hostility in eome quarters -and not least on the part of some of the head teachers—it would not have been surprising if the proportion of Barents in favour of Welsh teaching had now ..shown diminution. The .result,however, of last wees's census, announced yesterday,came as an ngieable surorisc to the advocates of Welsh teaching, for out of 19,247 votes polled 8.456 bdovedeclared in favour of Welsh and 10,791 against. Why Was the Census Taken ? As already indicated this is the second census taken on the subject in Cardiff, the first being in Febrnary of 1901,when the figures were :-For the teaching of Welsh, 8.251 against, 9,091. The questiou that has been asked in many quarters, and not unnaturally, is why, in view of the ze3ult of that plebiscite, the parents should have again been appealed to ? The first census was of coarse taken in the time of the old School Board, and was confined exclu- sively to the then Board schools, or as they are now called Council schools. On the result of that census the Cardiff School Board, rather un- wisely as it subsequently transpired, attempted to teach Welsh in every class throaghont every school. Inevitably this proved a failure, for among the teachers engaged under the Caidiff Board at the time only a very small per- tentage, indeed, were able to teach the subject with any degree of efficiency. Objection, too, was taken to that census on the ground that parents bad not been informed that the teaching of Welsh to a child would involve the dropping of some other subject. As a result the board had a second plebiscite taken of parents who favoured Welsh teaching, and had it clearly stated on the lecond paper that a child taking up Welsh as a subject coold only do it at the expense of some other subject, sach as drawing. The result of that second census showed that tlwre was still a substantial number, nearly 4,000, in favoar of Welsh teaching, and the School Board thereupon made arrangements for introducing the subject Into the earlisr standards, and to continue its leashing to the same children as they proceeded to the higher standards. Unfortunately, this second arrangement has 1Iot been tho success it was hoped to have been, irtd it has now become pretty clear that no icheme can ever become successful in the Cardiff schools which will not secure tha liearty and ioyal co-operation of the teachers. For some time past classes in Welsh in the several primary 4ehools of Cardiff have gradually dwindled in aambera. and in some schools the subject was altogether dropped. The old School Board made it possible for a parent, even after he had desired that Welsh should be taught bi3 child, to revoke his decision by communicating in writing to the head teacher. Numbers of parents periodically took advantage of this provision,with the result that in many instances the school arrangements were seriously interfered with and the difficulties in the way of the efficient teach- ing of Welsh were increased. This was the state of affairs when, as the result of the Education Act of 1902, the present education authority took over the schools. An attempt was made by the opponents of Welsh teaching to get the subject dropped altogether, bat this, of course, was vigorously opposed in many quartern, It was for this reason that the education authority a few weeks ago decided to take one more plobiscite to ascertain definitely if there was in Cardiff a real desire to have the subject continued. Now that-it has been sufficiently demonstrated that Cardiff parents, to the proportion of prac- cically 45 per cent., are in favour of this, it is i hoped that the education authority will lose no time in making complete arrangements for its efficient teaching in all the schools, and to see to it that the arrangements made, whatever they may V be, are loyally carried out by the teaching staff.

EDUCATIONISTS INTERVIEWED. Councillor Lewis Morgan. Been on the subject on Wednesday afternoon, Councillor Lewis Morgan, chairman of the Cardiff Edncation Committee, declared that be was in nc way surprised at the result. What does the census decide,in yonr opinion, Mr Morgan ?" "It decides that there are in Cardiff a good many Welsh people who are anxious that their children should be taught Welsh." Bat you are assuming that all who voted in favour are Welsh. There may be English and other nationalities among them." I do not think so." In your opinion is the number in favour sufficiently large to justify the committee in ett&ing full arrangements for the efficient teach- ing of tbe subject?" Yea undoubtedly, but I would not favonr its compulsory teaching." "There will, I understani, be some diffical- ties in the way of teaching it to a section of the children only. How will that be obviated ?' Mr I. V. Evans, the chief inspector, bas been asked to report upon that aspect of the matter. We shall be very much guided in that matter by oar expert advisers." One more cjuary. What do yon infer from tbe fact that the Church schools in Cardiff axe practioajly unatjiotiOfls in favdof of Welsh teaching?*' •' Well," replied Mr Morgan, with a smile, the fair inference seems to be that the Chnreb- people in Cardiff are more loyfl to Wales aud Welsh than the Nonconformists." Rev. John Morgan Jones. I am very pleased with the result, was the remark of tne Rev. John Morgan Jones, who, when a. member of the late Cardiff School Board, I fought valiantly side by side with Dr. Treharne in fayoar of the introduction of Welsh into the schools. The result," he continued, fully justifies tbe action of tbe late School Board, and it will, I take it, make it impossible for the new education authority to depart from the policy initiated by the old board. The census demon- strates, as bas beeu over and over again, cou- tended, that there is in Cardiff a renl, substan- tial demand for the teaching of Welsh in the schools, and it is to be hoped that the Education Committee will now make full and complete arrangements to have tbe subject thoroughly and systematically talent. The sooner the better the head teachers are made to learn that Cardiff parents have fully made up their minds on tbia matter."

Non-Provided Schools. MONMOUTHSHIRE POSITION. County Committee Take. Action. FINANCIAL SUPPORT WITHDRAWN. Teachers on the Verge of Starvation." The Monmouthshire Education Committee, at its meeting at Newport on Wednesday, con- sidered the position of non-provided schools where the repairs and alterations recommended by his Majesty's inspector and tbe committee's architect bad not been carried oot, and it was nnanimonsly decided to adopt the recommen- dation of tbe Sites and Building Committee that the schools be not financed as from Angnst 14th last. As indicated in our columns on Tnesday, the schools which come under this resolution are :—Coedypaen, LIangibby, Cwmbran (KC.), Conrtvbella, and Tredegar (R.C.) The managers of 28 non-provided schools, it was reported, bad complied with the demands of the committee, and tbe managers of 23 had all but com- pleted the repairs required. With respect to these schools the committee agreed to finance them as asaal. At Caerwent, Marsbfield, Red- wick, Caldicot, lilanwenarth-Citrflr, and Wye- sham schools it was reported that certain im. portant it"ms bad not been done, bot ware in hand, and the secretary (Mr Dauncey) was in- structed to write to the managers of these schools stating that the committee only continued main- tenance on the understanding that tbe work would be poshed on with all despatch. It waa reported that special circumstances applied to tbe White Crook, Llantrisant and Llan. howell, St. Mellons, Caerleon, Bassaleg, and Malpaa schools, and the managers were granted extended time for carrying oat tbe repairs. The managers of several schools were negotiating with tbe committee with a view of transferring their schools to tbe county authority. Teachers' Salaries. Before the report was considered Mr A. A. Williams, Panteg, raised the question of teachers' salaries at Pontymoile non-provided schools. The teachers, he said. were doing their duty loyally,and he thought their salaries should be paid. Alderman Raffan said this was not one of the school* which it was proposed not to maintain, and that after that day's meeting the secretary would be in a position to pay the teachers' salaries at tbe school teferred to. Mr Alfred Onions What intimation have the teachers received that their salaries are not to ba paid ? I refer more particularly to the Tre- degar Roman Catholic schools, which you are not going to maintain. The Secretary Tbey have had no intimation from this committee. Mr Onions It seems to me to be tery nn- bnsiness like to allow servants to proceed with their work and then not to pay them their salaries. Tbey don't know what to do. The Rev. T. G. James (Hogerstone) The question is are theoe teachers our servants ? The Secretary The teachers have shielded themselves behind the Voluntary managers, and the National Union of Teachers are supporting them in their attitude. Mr Onions I am only calling attention to the ridiculous Act under which we are working. Sir II. Mathur Jackson, Bart., asked whether they had any evidence that the Voluntary school teachers were shielding themselves behind the managers. It WAS unreasonable to expect them to continue in tbeir duties nnlesb their salaries were paid, and it was unfair to panish any par- ticular teacher. Committee's Position. Alderman Raffan said he thought the com- mittee were absolutely unanimous in this policy. They all sympathised with the teachers, bat he thought tbe committee bad given suffi- cient warning to the managers of tbeir pro- posals. Tbe committee could not cease to main- tain tbe schools and at the same time maintain the teachers. It was the managers' doty to warn tbe teachtrs. The Rav. T. G. James said it was a question of bair-splitting. If any committee in the coun- try had acted generously towards Voluntary school managers, it was the Monmouthshire Committee. They had deferred this matter three times, and it was only wbare the managers openly defied the committee that "tbtsy" Insisted on the repairs recommended by tbe Government inspector being carried out. Mr Alfred Onions said be could not help feel- ing that tbe teachers in this case were helpless individuals-like footballs, being kicked aboot from one committee to another. Some of them were on the verge of starvation, and depended entirely on tbeir monthly salaries. Mr J. O. Marsh, Abergavenny Whose ser- vants are they ? Managers' Responsibility. The Secretary said they were not the servants of that body." He was not going to be dravin into an argument on tbequestion then, but would do so at the proper time. The Union to which the teachers belonged bad advised tbem. The managers should be blamed, and not the com- mittee. < Bir H. Mather Jackson, Bart. But were notified these teachers when we reduced tbeir salaiies. Tbe Sectetary Eminent counsel baa advised that notice to the managers rs sufficient. Mr T. Parry said he sympathised with tbe teachers, but he could not sympathise with the managers of these schools in tbe position tbey had assumed. (Hear, hear.) Tbe committee bad extended the time to meet them, and altogether the managers had been very fairly dealt with, and some of them were now very obstinate. Those managers who had tried to meet the committee bad been met in a reason- able spirit, but other managers bad ignored tbe committed altogether. Wbat, then, were tbey to do ? Unfortunately, the innocent mast suffer. If tha committee paid the teachers' salaries the managers could snap their fingers at them and refuse to carry out the repairs. Mr Onions: Will tbe secretary write to the teachers aaying why their salaries are not paid ? (Cries of No, no.") Mr T. Parry It would only be an act of cour- tesy. The Secretary I can send them their salaries up to tbe holidays, and explain why thereat is not forthcoming. This was agreed to, and the recommendations with regard to the non-provided schools were adopted.

IRISH TEACHERS AND POLITICS. Mr Walter Long has caused the following reply to be sent to the Imperial Protestant Federation, the secretary of which body recently inquired if tbe reeulations of tbe Irish Board of Nation«\ Education preventing Irish teachers becoming members of Orange lodges would also prevent teachers becoming members of the United Irish League or participating in League meetings. :— Chief Secretary's Office, Dublin Castle, 28th August. Dear Sir.-With reference to your letter of the 15th inst. I am desired by Mr Long to in- form you tbnt no case of a teacher being a mem- ber of the United Irish Leagae has come before tbe Board of National Education, and conse- quently tbe Commissioners have not made a de- cision forbidding membership. From the analogy of similar decisions in the case of Orange lodges there would seem to be no doubt in the opinion of the Commissioners that membership of tbe United Irish League is contrary to tbe Commis- sioners' rules."

Missing Boy and Girl. BRECON CHILDREN'S WANDERINGS On Friday last Willie Griffiths (aged 12) and Mary Ann Griffiths (10), children of Mr William Griffiths, labourer, AlexaDderstone, near Brecon, were sent to the Mount-street Council School! Brecon—a school which they bad been attending for some time. They did lot return home that night, anp nothing being beard of them the fol- lowing day, the parents naturally beeame very much alarmed, and the police were communicated with. It transpires that Willie and Anna, in- stead of going to school, took it into their beads to go for a ramble to Modrydd, situated about five miles out of Brecon, ana where their parents had resided until recent years. Tbey got to Mrs Browin's farm in the evening, and stated they ere going to see their nncle who resided in the parish of Cantreff. Mrs Brewin, knowing the children's parents, gave them comfortable lodgings for the night, and neit morning they left, saying they wera going to Cantreff to their uncle and as the children were acquainted with the district no apprehensions were felt for their safety. All trace of them was, however, lost till late Saturday night, when they were found at Heolfanog Farm, about three miles distant from Brecon, Mr Powell, the occupier of the farm, who knew the children's fatherg well, gave them lodgings for the night, and on Sunday morning informed the police that the lost bad been found.

ABERDARE CANE QUESTION. Scene at the Education Committee. At the meeting of the Aberdare Education Committee on Wednesday a scene occurred. The business had been gone through according to the agenda, and the vice-chairman (Rev. J. Morgan Jones, MA.), who had presided for some time after the chairman (Mr T. Walter Williams) had left, said that the School Attendance Committee would sit, whereupon Mr C. B. Stanton asked whether the clerk bad received any report of the alleged assault by a teacher on one of the children.— The Cleri: No, I have received no repcrt what- ever.—Mr Stanton said no donbt the greater por- tion of the memfiers, if not the whole of them, were aware that one of their teachers had been summoned, bat he thought that the committee shoold take notice of what had taken place. The Chairman Unless yon have a specific question to ask, I cannot at this stage allow yon to proceed. Mr Stanton Am I now in a position to renew my notice of motion that only head teachers shall use the cane ? The Chairman I cannot say at present whether you are or not. Mr Stanton In any case I will send it in. Mr T. Lewis Is it not the daty of the head- master to report such a case happening at his school to the clerk ? The Chairman I am not aware that there is anything in out regulations requiring him to do o. The only obligation on bis part is to see that the punishment is properly reported to the punishment book. Mr E. Stonelake I think I am in order in moving that the teacher be suspended until the case shall be heard. The Chairman You are not. Yon must give the man notice if you wieb to get tid of him. Mr Stonelake There is a difference between suspending a man and dismissing him. Mr Stanton I am holding myself back. I am afraid to let myself go. It ie difficult to do so when you prevent discussion. The Chairman At the bsginning of the meeting you could have moved the suspension of the standing orders to call attention to a matter of urgent importance. Mr Stonelake I do so not?., The Chairman You cannot now. Your own sense of justice must tell yon that it would Dot be fair to do so at the tail-end of the meeting. In fact, when I came in I was surprised to learu that nothing bad been done tn the matter. Mr Stanton contended be had a perfect right to do so now. The Chairman repeated that be had not, and while be was speakiog Mr John Howell essayed to apeak, and considerable confu- sion ensued. The Chairman The meeting is really at an end, and 1 have said that the School Attendance Committee is now sitting. Mr Stanton Will you submit yonr ruling to the vote ? The Chairman No. I have given my ruling. Mr Stanton I move that someone else takes the chair. tr, The Cbarman I will not put that either. Mr Stantoa You are obsttnetins the busi- ness. All here are of opinion this matter should be discussed. You are setting your opinion against that of the wbole board. Tbe Chairman Your own sense of fairness will tell you it is too late now, when many of tbe members have left, to raise this question. It ia sorely not right that three or four as tbe tail- end of the Council should raise such a question. Mr Stanton It is not three or four. I know some have sneaked out in order to ges out of it, and epme have stopped away in order not to vote. I am acting in this matter from conscientious motives against some friends of mine. The Chairman again said there was abso- lutely no way of raising the question, Tbe meet- ing was over, and he had only ont of courtesy allowed them to go on, and be coold close the meeting whenever he liked. Mr Stanton What are you afraid of ? Are you afraid of hearing the report, or do you re- spect those wbo sneaked out more than yoo do those of us who have waited to the end ? The Chairman No, I do not; and probably if the matter was before the meeting I would agiee with you, but it is not possible to move the sus- pension of the standing orders now. Mr Stanton You are obstructing the business. The Chairman It woald be impossible for any public body to do its work if sacb were allowed. I can assure you that no chairman who knows his duty can allow sacb a motion as that of the suspension of the standing orders to be proposeu at this stage.

ABERAVON TOWN COUNCIL. The Tramway Scheme. At a meeting of Aberavon town Council on Wednesday, a letter was read from Mr Jno. Moxon. solicitor, Newport, enclosing copy of a letter which the promoters of the 1 ram way scheme had received from Sir Herbert Jekyll, assistant secretary of tbe Railway Department, Board of Trade, and asking the Coancil to again support the promoters to proceed with the Aberavon tramways. Sir Herbert Jekvll informed Mr Moxon that, in view of the deoision of the Lords' Committee, in deciding that the promoters of the Aberavon Tramway scheme most obtain the consent of the Glamorgan County Council be- fore embarking on their Bcheme over the main road in the boroagh of Aberavon, the Board of Trade bad submitted the question tc the law officers of the Crown. These gentlemen bad re- turned an opinion that; in dispensing with the consent of the Coonty Coancil in the case of the Aberavon order, tbe-Board of Trade were acting within their povter. Tbe Board of Trade will, accordingly, in any similarcaae arising in future, lely upon this opinion of the law officers of the Crown, and not be bound by the decision of the Select Committee. The Medical Officer reported that the birth-rate for the past month was 36*50 per 1000 per annum, and the death-rate 15 per 1.000. Two cases of infections diseases were notified during the inontb, as compared with 18 cases in 1903 and 16 in 1902. A sample of water taken from the Mountain Side School had been sent to the county laboratory, and the result of the analysis indicated that the sample was not of a high degree of purity, bnt no trace of lead or other poisonous metals was found.

School Punishment. 1 ALLEGED EXCESSIVE CANING. Aberdare Police Conrt nascrowdei on Tuesday in view of a case of alleged excessive punishment by a school teacher being down for hearing. The magistrates present were Messrs D. P. Daviea. Griffith George, D. W. Jones, »ud Dr. D. Davies. As soon as the court opened Mr C. Kenshole stated that there was a case down on the list in which a teacher named James was charged with assaulting a boy. He (Mr Ken3hole) was for the defence, and possibly someone else was present on bebalf of the complainant. He was going to ask the magistrates whether, under the circumstances, seeing that certain members of tho Bench sat on the 101:,1 Council, it would not be advisable that the case sbould-be adjourned for a week eo that the Stipendiary might deal with it. Mc D. P. Davies (the chairman, and a member of the local Education Committee) I shall not t ike pait in it, in any case. Mr William Thomas (solicitor) I am in- structed for the complainant, and I have no objection to an adjournment, but I am pre- pared to go on with the case, and if my friend requires an adjournment I ask that the costs of the day shall be paid in the usual way. Mr Kensbole It is entirely in your Worships' hands whether you shall hear tho case or not. I am only suggesting that yoa may think that under the circumstances it should go before the Stipendiary. Mr W. Thomas: I have no objection to an adjournment, but I have brought witnesses here "bo are woiking men, and they should be paid for the day. If Mr Kensbole asks for an adjourn- ment be should pay for it.

CHURCH TROUBLES. Reported Ritual" Compromise. The report of the Royal Commission on Church Discipline (says a correspondent) is not likely to make its appearance this year. The chairman (Sir Miobsel Hicks-Beach), who has taken great interest in the work of the Commission, ia now on his way to Singapore, where he has some important arbitration business to transact. It is understood that tbe Commission will re- assemble in the middle of October, but as the chairman is no'» "xpected to return for a month or two, some meetings will be devoted to general consideration of the numerous matters raised in tha course of the proceedings. An impression is gaining ground that the difficulties re\ealed by the evidence are so great that the report will be in the nature of a com- promise, and will advocate a policy of greater toleration amongst the various parties in the Church. This conjecture receives support from the attitude of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the letter of the Bishop of Chester suggest- ing that tbe Rubric regarding the vestments should be recast in Bach a way as to permit of a maximum and minimum use is held to be full of significance. Low Churchmen, however, are not likely to welcome tbe bishop's suggestion, and High Churchmen interpret it as meaning that in return for getting the use of vestments regular- ised they will be asked not to raise any objec- tions tc the disappearance of the Atbanaaian Creed. Their answer, however, is that they have already got the vestments and the creed, and that they mean to keep both.

CARDIFF INFIRMARY. Out-Patients' Department Abused. At a meeting of the Board of Management of the Cardiff .Infirmary, held on Wednesday, Dr. Wallace presiding, the resignation of Dr. H. Samuel, resident medical officer, was accepted, and Dr. J. W. Evans was appointed to the vacaucy. Dr. S. II. West was appointed assistant honse surgeon. It was reported that a legacy of £200 bequeathed to the infirmary by the late Mr D. Reei, late postmaster cf Cathays, bad been received through Messrs W. Bradley and Son, the solicitors to the estate. Dr. Garrett Horder proposed 11 That a special committee be appointed to investigate tbe cir- cumstances of the patients attending tho out- patent department and that the number of this I committee be 12." Dr. Horder said that an inquiry into a similar subject bad taken place in 1891 and a number of recommendations made. An immense amount of work was done in the ont-patient department and a large part of it consisted in the treatment of speoial diseases, and these had increased from 10,915 in 1900, to 18,307 in 1904. This large num- ber of cases he contended made it impossible lor tbe secretary or any of tbe staff to examine them and to see whether the owners of the tickets were fit and proper persons to receive charitable aid. The expenses of the oat-patients department had also greatly increased daring the past few years. It was impossible to differentiate between the two departments, bnt tbe fact remained that the expenses had increased fiom £1,535 in 1901, to £3,018 in 1904. Every out-patient used to cost the institution 2s, but now the cost per head amounted to 2s 6d. A similar problem existed in the Metropolis and many other large towns. At Oldham they bid appointed an Admission Committee, whose duties were to examine persons desirous of par- ticipating in the benefits of the Infirmary as to tbeir age, employment, unmbers of family, and income from all sources. This system was most strictly observed, and every esse bad to be passed by the committee before being eligible for the benefits of the tnfirmary. Proceeding, Dr. Horder said that the increase in the nnmber of cut-patients, many of wbom had trivial com- plaints, was detrimental to the welfare of the hospital, a burden to the funds, and prevented the staff giving the necessary attention to serious cases. Mr Austin Jenkins seconded. Mr Pertwee moved an amendment giving potter to the committee to investigats tbe work, with special reference to this abuse by undeserv- ing patients, and report upon the bast means of economising the administration of the out- patient department without impairing its effi- ciency, and that tbe honorary medical staff be invited to co-operate in this endeavour. This was seconded by tbe nev. D. Davies, Canton. Mr Lester Jones tboagbt tbe amendment far loa sweeping. It meant inqniry into the whole administration of the Infirmary. Dr. Cornelias Griffiths ssid that he believed a large number of out-patienta took advantage of tbe department who ongbt not to do so, and be held that before a patient entered tbe consult- ing room there Bhonld be a certainty that he was entitled to tbe time and the services of the medical men who attended him. Dr. Herbert Vacheli said that xhen the last investigations were made, it was found there were only two or three undesirables out of one or two thousand- There might be abase, but it was not 80 extensive. Dr. Ensor betievedthat people woald subscribe more freely if they knew that only deserving people were allowed in. After considerable fartber discussion, Mr Pertwee's amendmeut was carried by a large majorny. The secretary reported having received £2 las, per Mr Hammond, tbe proceeds of a street parade given by the Llwvnypia Tife Band. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded to tbem.

He added tbat be would be prepared to consider the request of the Corporation and the local authorities for other places on the route of the mail cart from Swansea to Ystradgynlais, from which similar communications had been received, on 'condition that the resolution in favoar of the change be passed by a majority of at least two-thirds of those present at a duly convened Council meeting. On tbe suggestion of Mr Howel Watkins it was decided to leave the matter in abeyance for a month, in the belief tbat the publicity given to tbe matter woald elicit an exprsssion of opinion. Telegraph Service. A letter was received from the Coventry Cor- poration asking Swansea to support a day and night telegraph service for all towna where tbe population exceeds 50,000. The Hon. Odo Vivian said they did not want to get telegrams in tbe middle of tbe night; it was bad enongb to get them in the early morning. Dr. Latimer thought there should be facilities for the de- spatch of important telegrams. The Chairman said telegrams could be despatched at any time of the night by application at the side door. It was decided that the communication should lie on the table. Motor Car Speed. Communications were received from members of Parliament for views on the subject of tbe speed of motor cars. Mr Harris thought on tram rontes tbe speed should not exceed that of a car. It was decided, on the suggestion of Dr. Latimer, not to act withoat the guidance of the Looal Government Board, on the ground that the Council had not had sufficient erperience to enable it to make any suggestion. Foreshore Question. Mr Morgau Hopkin again brought up the question of the public rights to the foresboie. He drew attention to the constant enoioaoh- .-nents that were taking place, the fact that the 30ft. road at tbe dooks bad not been completed, and tbat approaches to the sands were being closed one by one.

He strongly con- demned the action of the Dake of Besafort and Mr Dickson in respect to alleged interference with tbe public rights, and said if something were not done the public might even lose the privileges they at present possess. The Town Clerk replied that what had been done was by virtue of legal decisions or Acts of Parliament, and tbe Council could never secure the rights sought except by purchase. It w^s decided to appoint a committee to consider the subject.

This week they bave appeared in the quiet little village about two miles from PontyDool. On making bis way to the village oublic-house our representative was in- formed by the son of the landlord, it young man about 26 years of age, that this was the rendezvous of the ghost." The son said that for some time past his father bad beard noisss in the house. He did not, how- ever, bear them until qnite recently. One night whilst in bed he heard a noiee like someone groaning, but after going through tb9 bouse be failed to find anything that would account for the noise., Shortly afterwards be hoard a sound jast like the discharging of a gan and the bang- ing of a door. This snrpriaod him more than anything else, because he had himself attended to the doors befoia retiting for the night. On another occasion the son said a steeplejack came to the house just before closing time, and was shown a bedroom. After a lapse ol 20 minaleB he came downstairs looking as pale as a abeet. lie complained that whilst lying on the bed someone struck him on the cheek three or four times; whilst his face bore the marks of tour fingerB, as if he bad been struck with an open band. How do you account for these occurrences ?, asked the reporter, Well," replied the yonng man, "since wo have been in the house, some two months, the floors of two of the zooms have been renewed. Wben the floor if the sitting-room was taken up a terrible stench arose, but the strangest part of all was that a wreath of lilies of the valley and other flowers were fonad tn a splendid state of preservation."
