A FAINTING BRIDEGROOM SWOONS TWICE DURING THE CEREMONY. —A thrilling incident 1 occuired at a wedding in a church down the line et 1 the end of last week. While the happy couple were standing before the altar the officiating clergy- man came to the words, I require and charge you both, as ye will answer at the dreadfu'l Day of Judgment, whe:i the secrets of all hearts shall be disclosed," the bridegroom i uddenly fell down in a fit, to the consternation of the bride and pai t) the clergy, and those who were assembled in the body of the church. After some restoratives had been Y applied, the rasn after aome ten minntes' el-day, again stood before the altar rails, when the service was resumed. The clergyman again uttered the solemn words, co I require and charge you," when he swooned away the second time, the attack being worse than the first. Crowds had gathered to the church as the rumour spread through the town, and the service was again delayed until the bridegroom recovered conEtci msness. Happily when the (Opr- vice was repeated for the third time, the bridegroom was able to stand the ordeal, the two were made one, and left the sacred building amidst warm expressions of sympathy.— II'extern Mail.

I A MEETING OF THE Y W.B.T.A. was held at Union-street Schoolroom on Tuesday evening, April 9th, when the chair was occupied by the president, Miss Scourfield, Pentremeurij. The meeting was introduced with a prayer by !is Gibbon. Correspondence from headquarters was read by the secretary. The meeting was then open to any one present to say a few words. We are glad to say that all the members were full of enthusiasm as regards the temperance cau<e, and it proved a very successful meeting all through. It was proposed, seconded, tmd passed unanimously, that Miss Scurlock, Pciitremeurig, is to take the chair at the temperance meeting next Sunday opening, which is to be heid at Union street It is hoped that those who love the tenperance cau-e, and appreciate the good wotk of tha women with this association, will patronise the first lady president by attending in largo numbers. A very interceting temperance dialogue by Misses Nanno Evans and MargTetta Williams then followed, and a prayer by Miss Miriam Thomas, Park-yr-ystrad, brought a very interesting meeting to an end The next meeting will be held at Penuel Schoolroom on Tuesday evering, April 21tt. MATE OR PARAGUAY TEA-" I is an interesting fac that the leaves of the Ilex Paryguavensis were sought out by man, much as tea was, f ir the preparation of an infusion of peculiar restorative and "staying" powers, and that subsequently it was proved that the active principle of mate was identified with theine, which was, however at first called paraguaie. Chemically, the composition of the infusion oftho Paraguay tea-leaf resembles that of leaves of ordinary tsa, but in certain important rcspects, from a dietetic point of view, the constitu- ents exhibit markedly different properties. This is especially the case with the tannin principles. It is not correct to say that Paraguay tea contains no tannin. The tannin in Mate, however, has very different properties from the tannin of India or China tea. It doet not, for example, coagulate gelatin, or what is the same thing, tan hides. This is probably a fact of great physiological or dietetic importance, since it is the astringency of ordinary infusions of tea which leads to disturbances of the degestive function either by acting prejudicit.lly on the walls of the stomach or by rendering the nitrogenous principles of food tough and hard of digestion. Mate tea possesses the advantage, therefore, of being a refreshing and restorative beverage, due in a large measure to the theine it contains, without the evil effects of astringency. The liquor is pleasantly leafy and frpgrant to the taste. Mate tea may be taken with advantage by those with whom tea disagrees, while at the same time they would secure the refreshing and invigorating properties of the same active principle in its natural condition, the alkaloid of tea—theine." The price is moderate, 3s per lb. The offices ot the Mate Tea Company are at 39, Victoria Street, Westminster.—Extract from The Lancet, November 16th, 1895.

Carmarthenshire Standing Joint Committee. QUARTERLY MEETING AT CARMARTHEN. The quarterly meeting of the Carmarthenshire Standing Joint Committee was held at the Shire- hall, Carmarthen, on Wednesday at 12.30 p.m. There were present Mr Gwilym Evans, l-rn. eastcll Mr J S TreoDing Mr C NV Jones Mr W N Jones, Tirvdail; Mr Ernest Trubshaw Dr J A Jones, Llanelly Dr Howell Rses, Glargarnant Mr Joseph Joseph, Llangennech; Dr Lawrence, Waungron Co'. Gwynne-Hughes Lord Ejilyn Lieut.-General Sir James Hills-Johne?, V.C,, G C.B, Mr W. Powell Jeffreys Mr St. Vincent 1'eel Mr J L Thomas, Caeglas; Mr Dudley 0 Williams-Drumniond Rev W. Thomas, Whitland Mr John Phillips, Caerlleon Mr A E Jeremiah, Centtrth Mr Hopkins, Llangadock Mr John Rees, Dolgwrn Mr C E Morris, Penbryn Mr H J Thomas, Llanfynydd Mr John Williams, Penlan Mr J Ll Thomas, Tanlan together with the Clerk (Mr Thomas Jones) and the Chief Constable (Mr W Philipps). ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN. Rev W Thomas proposed that Mr Gwilym Evans should be the chairman of the committee for the ensuing year. Mr A E Jeremiah seconded the motion, which was carried nem, con. The Chairman proposed a vote of thanks to the retiring chairman—Lord Emlyn. I his motion was seconded bv Mr J S Treconinff. and carried unanimously. n_G 0' VACCINATING THE "PEELERS." The Chief Constable reported that in consequence of the outbreak of small-pox in Glamorganshire, he had had all those constables vaccinated who had not undergone a similar operation during the last ten years. THE PROPOSED POLICE STATION AT AMMAMFORD, Dr J A Jones reported that the committee appointed to deal with this matter had met on the spot, and had visited half-a-dozcn sites belonging to Lord Dynevor, but that gentleman's agent—Mr Lewis Bishop-had refused to consider any of them. He (Dr J A Jones) considered that Mr W N Jones had a piece of land there which would suit the committee very well. Although Mr W N Jones was a member cf the committee, he thought the committee should ask l.im for a price for the site. A site could, of course, be compulsorily acquired from Lord Dynevor, but that would mean a lot of trouble and delay. He proposed, however, that Mr W N Jones should be asked for a price for the site. Mr W N .Jones thought that there were plenty of o:her sites which would suit the committee much better than his prorcl ty would. Sir James Ilills-Johnes did not see any objection to asking a member of the committee for a price tor a site, if it were in other ways suitable. He seconded the motion of Dr J A Jones. This motion was carried unanimously. I APPOINTMENT OF HALL-KEEPER. The applicants for this post were Mr Henry Davies, the present deputy and nephew ot the late hall-keeper; Mr John Evans, the keeper of the Town Clerk's Office; Mr Charles Davies, 31, Water- street Mr Daniel Jones, 3, Sawmill-terrace; Mr John Jones, a trumpeter in the Carmarthen Royal Militia Artillery; and Mr David Rees, !)7, Lammas- street. Mr Joseph Joseph proposed Mr Henry Davies.— Mr John Phillips seconded. Sir James Hilis-Johnes proposed Trumpeter John Jc)iies. -Lord Emlyn seconded. Dr Lawrence proposed Mr Daniel Jones.—Colonel Gwynne Hughes seconded. In answer t,) questions. The Clerk said he hadahvaysfoundMrllenryDaviea steady and attentive to his duties. He had often turned up when Mr Davies could not have had any idea he was in town. The Surveyor (Mr D. Phillips) also said that the County had saved i;)5 this year, because of the manner in which Mr Henry Davies had attended to the fittings. The voting was done by a show of hands, with the following resultMr Henry Davies, 19; Mr Daniel Jones, 2 and Mr John Jones, 4. Mr Henry Davies was therefore appointed. THE POLICE AND TITHE SALE. Th Rev W Thomas moved "That the attention of the committee be drawn to the duty of police- conetables to act—on all occasions of excitement especially—as peace officers; and that the committee expresses its strong disapproval of the conduct of Sergt. Bryant in acting as a « Bidder at the tithe sales held at Gellyganol and Rhydvcerrig farms, in the paiish of Llanon on the 14th January, believing that such indiscretion and excess of duty ha 1 a dire* tendency to incite th people to violeiiec. In moving Uu tie Ree W Thomas narrated f",e ,f the sale from which it appeared that Seitrt Bryant hal not acted as bona-fide "bidder' a horse had been knocked down at a lower Pum than that which he !iid offered for it. doing so ;.).rg. Hrynnt had viol;»!Ptl th^ Tih,ruct.-iiis of the Police Code end had acted ve. ;adiscreetly his action would ecrtainiy have caused a disturbance, but for the fact that no intoxicating diink was supplied at the sale. Two of the io::al farmers—Messrs Morgan Jones and John D ivies-hb(I written to the Chief Constable on the matter. That cfficial stated that he considered the police-sergeant had aa much right to bid at the I sale as anybody else. If the Standing Joint Com- mittee did not adopt the present motion, the result would be that inspectors, superintendent*, sergeants, and constables would be authorised to become home-dealers, cow-dealers, and hay-purchasers. One police officer, who trpated the people properly, would have more influence than half-a-dozen who acted in antagonism to then. Mr C. E. Morris asked if the sergeant was in uniform at the time ? Seigeant Bryant said he was iu uniform and was on duty. Dr Howell Roes and Mr H. J. Thomas seconded the Rev W. Thomas's motion simultaneously. Sergeant Bryant then gave his narrative of the affair, from which it appeared that by giving a bid he had caused a horse to be knocked down to Mr Morgan Jones, who was waiting to see some fun." The sale was carried oil in the presence of about forty people. If the sale had not been got over 30 quickly as it did, a number of colliers would have arrived from round about Cross Hands, and there would have been a regular row, which ho could not have prevented with the couple of constables at his his disposal. By giving thi bid at the time he did, he prevanted a disturbance. The Chairman said it was evident, at any rate. that there were not enough policemen in the district perhaps it would be well for the Chief to send a couple from Llaadilo, where they were not needed. The Chief-Constable said that he had not a single man he could spare from Llandilo. Dr J. A. Jones snid that although he did not approve of what isergt Bryant had done, yet it was evident that the officer had acted with the best of intentions. lie would ask the Rev W. Thomas to alter his motion so that no censure should be passed upon Serg*) Bryant, but that instructions be given to the Chief Constable not to allow his men to bid at tithe sales." Rev W. Thomas said he would accept the alteration suggested. Lord Emlyn supported the amended resolution. Although the sergeant had taken whit appeared to be the best course to avoid a In-each of the peace, yet it was a highly undesirable state of things that police officers should bid at tithe s.iles. The amended resolution was carried ncm. con. and the affaire terminated amicably.

Laugharne Notes. [BY VERITAS], THE DEATH AND FUNERAL OF MR REES OF CAPTHORN. The news of Mr ltees's death came very unexpectedly to many of his friends on Tuesday, the 31st of March. He had been for some'ime unwell, but until a fortnight ago no one thought there was any danger. He wa? then taken very ill, and had to keep to his bed still he seemed aftera-few days to be rallying a little, and even on the day of his r death appeared brighter than he had been but about one o'clock Miss Rees who was with him in the room saw that a sudden change had come over him, she called the rest of the family, but he expired in a few minutes. The funeral took place on Saturday morning the 4th inst. It was one of the largest that had ever been ser u at Laugharne the people had come from far and near, there was hardly a house within several miles that had not some representative prestnt. The service in the house was conducted by the Rev J. Evans, B.A., the Rev IL Jenes, Vicar of Carnarvon offered prayer. The services in the Cliff Ciiipet and at the grave were conducted by the Rev Dr Gwvnng Jones and the Rev J. Evans B.A. On Sunday morning Dr Gwynne Jones preached the funeral sermon in the new Congregational Church. Mr Rees had been connected with the church for thirty two years.

Gilbert Rees is a student at the Presbyterian College Carmarthen.

L L A N S T E P II A N. SUCCESS OF MR STEPHENS.—Wherever Welsh- men—aud especially Carmarthenshire men—settle down they are sure to moke their mark in what- ever branch of industry they follow. On this occasion we have to refer-and it gives us very great pleasure in doing so-to the success gained by Mr Stephens, the sou of our respected friend, Mr Evan Stephens, of Lan. As our readers are aware Mr Stephens went out to Soutfi Africa about twelvemonths ago, and is at present resident at Tyger Vlei. In March he competed in The Western Province Royal Agricultural Show," the chief sho v in South Africa, and suooaeded in taking the 2nd prize for the best 10 lbs of fresh butter, the prizes being given by the Government. The batter was superior in every respect to the first prize- winner, the one fault being the colour, which was a little too light. The iirst was far too deep. but the judges admired the colour. Mr Stephens and his friend (Mr Jones) also competed in butter- making. There were 12 competitors, of which eight were coilcgians at Stellenbosch Dairy College ('wo of whom had left college about two mouths previous). The first day of the show 12 performed, and on the last day, the best five were selected for the final contest, zpnd Mr Stephens was amongst the number, his friend (Mr lones) being one point short, or he would have been in as well. The competitors had to prepare their utensils at oncc after the orders were given, and iu the presence of a large number of spectatots the pro- j ceedings commenced. After a hard task the I decision came as follows :—1st prize, 177 points oat » of a possible 200 2nd, 175 3rd, 173 4th and 5tb, t 171^, and here Mr Stephens came in, leaving behind | 2, 11 him five college pupils. The first was a gentleman's I dairyman, who makes butter every day. Mr Stephens and Mr Jones were before him in the 19 lbs fresh butter class. Mr Stephens never made pats before the show day. We heartily c mgrntalate Mr Stephens on the remarkable success which he attained in his adopted home, lie is following in the footsteps of his esteemed father.
