The Rev. Henry Lewis, retired Congre- gational minister, dropped dead on Sunday while ttending service at a Baptist, chapel at Chelmsford. The growth of temperance principles among Congregations lists is reported as re- markable. Eighty-four per cent. (as com- pared with 34 in 1880) of the ministers are now tntal abstainers, and 264 out of 280 theological students in the colleges have taken ihe pledge. Speaking at a joint dinner of the Eighty Club rid the Cambridge University Club, at Cambridge, on Saturday night, Mr Bryce described the Government as having wasted their opportunities, and in referring to the Liberal Party said they did not differ in principle on tho subject of Imperialism. He denied that Ham.) Rule was dead, and said when the ti-. lw came for dealing with it there would be no difficult-v in keeping I the Liberal Par y together on the question. The present d ierences in the Church point- ed to the if sirability of disestablishment, but he tb Jght the Liberal Party should await ev ts rather than start an agitation for JEW which might be ineffective,

A TlUED AND TRUE FRIEND. The Old Proverb says that "A friend in need is. a. friend indeed," and it is only when the need. makes itself felt, when trouble and sickness.. visit the family, that the value of a tried and trre friend is appreciated. At this season cf the year we hear so many com- plaints: of sickness or of weak and failing health that anything which would assist to remove the sickness and do away with the cause of the complaints would be a real Family Friend. Such a boon is found in Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters, which stiikes. at and removes the cause of disease, and strengthens those parts of the system which have been weakened. Read the following Testimonial.—8, Camp- beD. street, Portrack Lane, Stockton-on-Tees, Dear Sirs—Having received great benefit faom GWILYM EVANS' QUININE BIT- I'-fcijio, I am recommending same to a friend of mine, and I therefore wish you to send me two large bottles by return of post. Postal Order enolosed in payment.—Yours etc., ROBERT JONES. If you feel listless, tired out, without strength to do anything, and with little or no appetite, Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bit- ters will speedily banish that listlessness, restore the appetite, and give renewed strength and vigour to the whole body. Indigestion, Biliousness, Neuralgia, Sleeplessness, and other Nervous Dis- orders speedily disappear under a course of Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters. It is purely vegetable and the best tonic ever dis- covered. Sold in bottles, 2s 9d and 4s 6d each. QUININE BITTERS MANUFACTURING COMPANY, LIMITED. LLANELLY, SOUTH WALES.

School Boards and the Welsh Central Board.

At the same conference it was resolved that the instruction of pupil teachers should receive early attention.

FALSER REPRESENTATION.—Robert Roberts and Richard Pritchard, of Beth- esda, were charged with obtaining drink from the Union Hotel, Bangor, on Sunday, the 23rd ult., by falsely representing them- selves to be travellers. Sergeant Breese said that he entered the house on the day in question, and found defendants there. One of them had a glass of beer before him, and the other a glass containing soda water. The Bench considered' that the case was a very serious offence, as by going to the houses the publicans were being put in a risky position. Defendants would each be fined 10s and costs. PROFANE LANGUAGE. — Ann Fox, Brick street, Bangor, was fined 2s 6d and costs for using profane language. SLEEPING OUT. Meshach Roberts, Glanadda, was sentenced to seven days' im- prisonment for sleeping out. ASSAULT CASES.—John Owen, Kyffin square, Bengor, was summoned by Benja- min Fenn, Well street, Bangor, for assault- ing him.Complainant said that he was looking at a cridket match on Saturday week, when the defendant came to him and Aked him to make room for his little boy. The complainant refused, and the boy shoved him aside. Fenn pushed him back, and thereupon the defendant struck com- plainant in the eye.-A fine of 5s and costs was imposed;.—■—William Hughes, and Griffith Daniel Jones, of Gefnau, Llan- degai Mountain, were summoned by Ro- bert Humphreys, of the same neighbour- hood, for assaulting him.—Mr W. Twigge Ellis appeared for complainant, and Mr D. G. Davies for defendants.—Mr Ellis having opened the case, the complainant (Robert Humphreys) gave evidence to the effect that on the night in question he was re- turning home from Bethesda, at about ten o'clock. After passing Coedvparc he met the defendants. They shouted, and witness asked if they wanted anything from him. They told him they did not, and said "Go on, you d-l." Directly afterwards he was tripped by the defendant William Hughes, and he fell to the ground. Whilst on the ground he was struck in the eye, and also kicked in the side. After committing the assault defendants went on their way, and left witness on the ground in an uncon- scious condition. When he arrived home that evening he was in intense iaiti, and as the result of the assault he had to stay indoor until the following Friday. During that time he was being medically attended. Witness could give no reason why he was assaulted! by defendants. He never pro- voked them.—Cross-examined by Mr Da- vies,witness said that -e was not drunk on that night. He did not leave the quarry earlv in the afternoon on that date.—Com- plainant's wife said that her husband ar- rived home about twenty oast eleven per- fectly sober. His face was covered with scratches, and he complained of pain in his side. Witness asked him what was the matter, and he replied that he had been kicked.—Mr Davies, for the defence, con- tended that no case had been made out against the defendant G. Daniel Jones, and said that on the night in question the de- fendants were going home and were talking rather loudly. When near Hirdir the com- plainant passed^and asked the defendants why they were growling at him. They re- plied that they were not; and thereupon the complainant put himself in a fighting attitude. He struck Hughes in the face, and the defendant returned the blow in self defence. Complainant, who was drunk, fell to the ground, but soon got Tip and followed the defendants. When complain- ant fell to the ground, a bottle of beer which he had in his possession was broken.—Evi- dence in support of the above statement having been given, the Bench dismissed the case against defendants.

(Continued from page 7), to have any knowledge of the Corporation relied upon the testimonies of gentlemen who wero, well qualified to speak on them. The bruige over the ferrv was not built because of any profit, likely to accrue from it, but because it wasi likely to be a public improvement, and must be regarded in the s.,me light as public improvements, which wt-re a more or le-s of a necessity. Mr (V -tie, in his clos-ins; address, com- plained that the other side should have taken advantage of the fact that the Pritch- ards had had the ferry at such a low rent. It was1 an old tenancy, and was allowed to exist, although they had heard the direct evidence of Mr J. Pritchard that the takings averaged 10s a day. The calculations which had been made by Mr Walter Jones on the basis of the count practically bore out that assertion. As to the cost of maintenance, the Corporation witness, Captain Jones the onlv expert uariner who had been called had agreed that two able young lads were quite capjuJle of looking after the boats. The Corporate n ought to pay the real mar- ket value of tie property, and the. estimate of £ 4000 was < ertainlv not too much. The inquiry then closed, and the award will be made ii- due course.
