After some representations on behalf of the parishes in question, the matter was referred back, on the motion of Canon Owen, for the con- sideration of the Executive Committee.

SIR, — I don't possess any great knowledge of music, but I will venture to assert that Mr Schofield's Town Band is a good 'un. Their music has sfcveral times distinctly soothed my breast when it has been in savage mood. If your readers are of the same opinion, I would respect- fully beg to point out that musicians cannot live on the sweet strains they produce as a love-lorn swain can on his sonnet, but require copious doses of bread, cheese, mutton, potatoes, and other delicacies (they sometimes think they require beer, but that is a mistake). I have promised them half-a-guinea if they are here till the middle of September, and have advanced half the amount, and I would earnestly ask those who want the town to prosper, and who would be ashamed not to do their share, to contribute liberally. Also, I feel strongly that we cannot afford to patronise every fleeting show that comes our way, and that our whole energies should be thrown into the support of one good high-class concern like Mr Schofield's, well known to us and under the aegis of the local authority. Let the pennies, therefore, that would otherwise go to the organ-grinders and all other miscellaneous "musicians" who come round-including the Walking Wonder who plays six instruments (of cruelty) at a time,—be all saved up for that which alone of the whole crowd is an absolute necessity for our town, and which I think we have at last, -A Good Band. "-Yours obediently, MENDAX. Colwyn Bay, July 24th. MARRIAGE OF MISS WORSLEY, OF GOL- BORNE. & THE VICAR OF LLANDRILLO. Considerable interest was manifested at Gol- borne and Lowton, Lancashire, in the marriage of Miss Worsley, second daughter of the late Mr James WTorsley, The Grove, Lowton, to the Rev W. Venables-Williams, Vicar of Llandrillo (Col- wyn Bay), which happy event took place at St Luke's Church, Lowton, on Wednesday afternoon, July 18th, in the presence of a crowded congrega- tion. Extensive preparations had been made, including the laying of scarlet flannel from the gate to the door of the Church, this useful cover- ing afterwards being given to the poor. The bride, attired in a dress of gray bengaline silk, trimmed with Brussels lace, and carrying a magnificent bouquet, entered the Church on the arm of her brother, Mr J. E. Worsley, Winwick Cottage, by whom she was given away. Miss Elsie Worsley (daughter of Mr Ralph Leigh Worsley) was the bridesmaid, and Master Hugh Worsley (son ofMrJ. E. Worsley) ably discharged the duties of best man. The officiating clergy- man was the Rev Stanley Davies, M.A. Oxon., Vicar of Wrexham, who was assisted by the Rev R. Smith, Rector of Lowton. The service was choral, the singing of the beautiful sixty-seventh Psalm being entered into with much heartiness by the large congregation and by the members of the Choir. Mr James Prescott (the organist) pre- sided at the organ and gave appropriate selec- tions, the ''Wedding March" being played as the happy couple left the Church, amid the hearty good wishes of numerous friends. The festivities were worthily observed at Highfield House, the residence of Mr G. W. Rigg, brother-in-law to the bride. The guests were:-The officiating- Clergy, Mr and Mrs G. F. Watts (Manchester), Mr and Mrs S. S. Brown, Dr Worsley, Dr Montagu Venables-Williams (Colwyn Bav), Mr and Mrs Ralph Leigh Worsley, Mr J. E. Worsley, the Misses Clarke (Laurel House, Lowton), Miss Milligan (Marsden House, near Stockport), Miss Millicent Owen (Sale), and Master Hugh and Miss Elsie Worsley. The happy couple subsequently left for Leamington, en route for Devonshire. The equipages were supplied by Mr John Smith (Lowton), and the wedding cake was r, om the well-known establishment of the Misses Rimmell, Stockwell, Manchester. The following was the list of presents :—• Mr and Mrs G. IV. Higg, writing table. Mrs Rips1, brass set for writing table. Mr and Mrs Watts, Brussels lace for bride's dress, and cheque.

The following is abridged from The Shrewsbury Chronicle of July 201b :—It is with great regret we have to announce the death of Mr William Good- win Preece, auctioneer, which took place at the residence of his daughters, Hawkestone, Colwyn Bay, on Saturday last, at the age of 71, having been born on the 15th July, 1823. As an auctioneer Mr Preece was well and widelv known, and at one time he held the foremost rank as a seller of sheep, his judgment and discretion being much sought after. Few men possessed a higher knowledge of the various breeds, and the eloquence he displayed when decanting upon the qualities of the ware under his hammer invariably drew forth large bids from those assembled near him. In his way he was somewhat of a figure, and his manly appearance, strong voice, and de- termined will never failed to take effect. Mr Preece commenced business as an auctioneer in 1845, having previously been engaged in farming with his father, who held a farm at Quatt, near Bridgnorth, where he was born. Several special sheep sales were instituted at The Flash, near Coton Hill. Sales were also held at Worcester in 1853 to 1856 and after con- sent was given to hold sales by auction in Shrews- bury Smithfield these sales became the chief and practically only means for the disposal of pedigree Shropshires. These sales have been held up to the present day. As an instance of the values of Shropshires in the fiftees, prices frequently ranged between 40gs. and Sogs. for rams, and it is within memory that ewes realised 8gs. per head. Mr Preece was the first to originate the Special Prize Christmas Fat Stock Auctions, held now-a- days all over the country, his first prize auction having been held at The Flash in 1855, when prizes were awarded for the best fat animals included in the sale. He was recognised as an admirable judge of all things agricultural, bot-h stock and land, and during a long career had earned the respect of a large circle of friends. The funeral arrangements were carried out by Messrs Martin, Billinger & Co. (Pride Hill, Shrewsbury, late Birch Leigh & Co.), the massive oak coffin, which was fitted with heavy brass mountings, being furnished by Messsrs Allen, of Colwyn Bay, who arranged for the transfer of the remains to Shrewsbury on Monday last. The coffin, by kind consent of the Vicar and Church- wardens, was, on arrival at Shrewsbery, conveyed to Holy Trinity Church, where Mr Preece had been a regular attendant. The funeral took place on Tuesday, July 17th, at the General Cemetery, and was conducted by the Rev T. Holmes, the first portion of the service being held at Trinity Church, where, among others, the following attended :—Mr W. G. Preece, Mr E. G. Preece (sons), Mr G. O. Meredith and Mr Charles Dayus (brothers-in-law), Mr R. Preece (cousin) A large quantity of beautiful wreaths entirely covered the coffin. Many letters expressing regret at inability to attend on so short a notice were received. The deceased expressed a strong- wish that the funeral should be a strictly quiet one. We understand that business arrangements were made sometime ago, whereby his eldest son, Mr IN. G. Preece, junr., will continue the business under the style of Mr W. G. Preece and Son. AT THE WELL OF ST. TRILLO. Along a main road, through a stile Across a meadov-a very good mile- We took our morning walk. Passed we to the end of the bay; Just round the point, a little way, The subject of our talk: The ruins of an ancient shrine, Whose founder on scant fare did dine A pious man was he. His name's now famous as St. Trillo, You have it also in Llandrillo, A village by the sea. This shrine stands open to the shore, It ever hears the ocean's roar, Bnt 'midst snug greenery. A tiny Chapel here was raised, A sparkling stream its walls encased— The water still flows free. A single room of narrow space, The walls you plainly yet may trace, Now open to the air. A vaulted roof of stone o'erhead Has long since been demolished; The place, it needs repair. St. Trillo lived in penury— It was in the sixth century- I trow his wants were few. But lovely was the spot he chose To count his heads, to tell his vows, By night or morning dew. No doubt he sacred made the well, And healing virtue—who can tell r- Mayhap its water had. Now the spot is wreck and ruin, With better waters at Trefrwyn, If you feel very bad. But the draught good St. Trillo gave Was meant, they say, poor souls to save In that far distant age. It was a time when thought was dim, When symbols taught the love of Him, Instead of printed page. Here 'twas that lone monk dwelt, they say, For his own good and men's to pray, And simple lessons teach And sinners came o'er moor and fell, And hope-drew from that sacred well That trickled by the beach. Though ruined now St. Trillo's cell, Sweet Nature's growth adorns the shell L .1 That keeps the sacred fount; iuin pilgrims reaon it, as or yore, And health drink in along the shore That skirts the Euryn mount. The mount wis there in Trillo's day; Unchanged, too, that lovely bay .1 Close by the western tide; And mercy comes to-day. as then, To Weary souls and stricken men, Through Him, the-Cr icified.

STUNG BY A JELLY FISH. To be stung by a Jelly Yisli is not a pleasant experience, and may prove very es troublesome unless you have Homocea handy to apply, when all pain and swelling instantly vanishes. Homocea is an invaluable remedy at the Seaside; should be used for Sunburn, Blisters, Wasp-Stings, and all kinds of Insect Bites. Use also for Cuts, Burns, Toothache, Rheumatism, and all Skin Troubles. It will stop an Influenza Cold like magic. T 1 ^jear j'rS' t^1C I7t^ Ju"e> which I think was one of the hottest days of the year, I spent the dav or^Hilbre Island and was unfortunate enough to get my feet sunburned and ba ly stung by Jelly Fish. By the dav following mv feet had swoollen and were inflamed to such an extent that I was quite unable to stand on them. For a week I treated them with carron oil, hazeline, and hazeline cream without any satisfactory results. I then thought I would try Homocea, I persevered with it, and after applications at intervals during 24 hours, I was agreeably pleased to find the swelling and inflammation rapidly disappearing. After two days use of It I was able to stand, and now, with the exception of a little weakness about the ankles, my feet are all right again.—Yours truly, E. S. SMYTH." If 'Homocea' had been used at once a whole week's suffering would have been saved. Ho-mocea is sold by all Chemists at I/I and 2/9 per box; or can be had direct from the Homocea Co., lilt Hamilton Square, Birkenhead. 1 Sold in Colwyn Bay by Edward Lloyd, Conway Road.

MIDLAND GARDENERS INSPECTING BODNANT. —About ten o'clock on Wednesday morning, July 18th, over a hundred members of the j Birmingham and Midland Counties Gardener's Mutual Improvement Association arrived, by special train, at Llandudno Junction, whence they drove in brakes to Bodnant Hall, where Mr J. Saunderson (the head-gardener) showed them over the extensive grounds and gardens, the visitors' unanimous verdict being that they would all profit by their enjoyable and instructive visit to the country seat of Mr Pochin, J.P., D.L., sometime M.P. for Stafford, by whose invitation they were entertained to light refreshments. Bodnant was left in the earlier hours of the afternoon, the party driving to Llandudno, where a sumptuous dinner was awaiting them. The return journey to the Midlands commenced at 6.30 p.m. All the arrangement for the excursion (an annual event) were made by Mr J. Hughes, of High Street, Harborne. BRYN MAIR SCHOOL.—Among the successful candidates at the recent examination of the Incorporated Society of Musicians, are two pupils from Bryn Mair School Conway, namely Miss Janie G. Owen (daughter of Mr H. Owen, Manager of the Conway Branch of the N.P. Bank), and Miss Amy C. V. Morant, who passed, respectively, in the Violin (Elementary Grade), and in the Theory of Music (Preliminary Grade). THE PROPOSED POLICE-COURT STRUCTURAL J ALTERATIONS. -The Surveyor's Committee of the Carnarvonshire County Council, met at Carnarvon, under the presidency of their Chairman (Colonel the Hon. W. E. Sackville-West), on Saturday, July 21st, when the question of structural alterations at the Conway Police Court was discussed, and it was stated by Alderman E. Jones, that the Town Council did not favour the proposal of the County Surveyor (Mr Evans), as it would greatly narrow a road upon which there was extensive vehicular traffic in summer.—It was arranged that a sub-Committee should meet the local magistrates on the spot. THE NEW REVISING BARRISTER.—Mr W. B. Yates has been appointed Revising Barrister for the counties of Anglesey and Carnarvon, in suc- cession to Mr Thomas Jones, who held the post for many years. Mr Yates, who practices on the North Wales Circuit, was called to the Bar in 1881. THE HEALTH OF MR POCHII, The Staffordshire Advertiser of Saturday, July 21st, says:—"We regret to hear that Mr Henry Pochin, who was once elected member for Stafford, but was unseated on petition, has been seriously ill at his residence near Conway. About a fortnight ago he had a slight seizure, supposed to be of a paralytic nature. Although not confined to bed, he was kept in-doors a few days, but, while still weak and obliged to keep quiet, a telegram from our Conwav correspondent yesterday evening states that he is now progressing favourably and takes carriage exercise twice daily. Mr Pochin, who is father-in-law of Mr Charles M'Laren. M. P.. is Vice-Chairman of the Metropolitan Railway, and lately refused the reversion of the Chairman- ship when it was vacated by Sir Edward Watkin. He is well known throughout the railway and industrial world." ENGLISH WESLEYAN SUNDAY SCHOOL ANNUAL OUTING. [FROM A CORRESPONDENT.] The Teachers in consultation this year res- pecting the above Sunday School treat felt them- selves unable to join the other Conway Schools in their recent trip, as our desire is to give an outing to all, and we considered a tour to Abe^stwith too long and tedious for the little ones to that end, arrangements were made with Messrs P. & H. Lewis for a steamboat trip to Trefriw and back. Wednesday, July 18th, was the selected day. Some early birds found it, however, raining at five and six o'clock it kept on (more or less) for a short while, damping not only the ground, but the feelings of some who had this day to heart. But prayer and faith gained the day, and we got aboard," aboutsixtystrong, soon after ten o'clock, and, notwithstanding an occasional shower and the slight inconvenience of being crowded, we thoroughly enjoyed our trip up the river. The "bairns soon longed to land, to practice the art of gastronomy, but (alas !) the wherewith was found to consist only of buns, which went down (with the assistance of an occasional taste from the churning of the steamer's paddles) very successfully, minus the milk which we had hoped to have had. After a little variation in the programme, on the part of the steamer, by a series of whistles for some strayed members of our party, we began the homeward journey the scenery is best on the "up" trip, but a lovely retrospect was obtained as we returned. Two or three got off on arrival at Conway, the rest of us went on to Deganwy, where we landed (with the exception of a few), and were ferried-in four boat-loads—across to the Morfa, where we established ourselves for the day, having the loan of a shed for the provisions, etc. The outing being on a new and enlarged scale, the making-ready was none too satisfactory, but, after a series of heroic deeds, tables were set up and provisions set down, water boiled, and tea brewed. After tea, several races were run (namely, boys', girls', men's, and women's distance and three-legged races), appropriate and useful articles being given as prizes. It is hoped that every child had a reward of some sort. The keenness of the evening wind compelled us to return home when the children had had their erqoyment out. After giving three cheers for Mrs Owen, Bodreinallt, who, as usual, assisted nobly, we "wound over the lea," thankful that the day proved so enjoyable and fine.

THE BOROUGHS' REPRESENTATION IN PARLIAMENT. Headed "Special Welsh Notes" and "From our Own Correspondent," the subjoined appeared in The Liverpool "fercury uf July 2:5th — There is likely to be some difficulty in the wav of inducing Mr Llovd-George to again contest the Carnarvon Boroughs in the Liberal interest. The difficulty is of a pecuniary and not of a political character so far as his association with the pativ is concerned. Mr George has already fought two heavy and expensive contests—the first against Mr Ellis Nanney, and the second against Sir John Puleston—almost exclusively at his own expense, the pecuniary aid the Liberals accorded him being scanty. Attendance to parliamentary duties in his case necessitates a neglect of professional work. A hint has, therefore, been thrown out that there must be, if the retention of his parliamentary ser- vices is desired by the Liberals of the Carnarvon Boroughs, a more liberal response to the appeal for aid in attending to the registration and in re- lieving the sitting member of other pecuniary responsibilities. Nothing has yet transpired with regard to the Conservatie candidate but Mr Ellis Nanney, who has already fought three contests in the county and boroughs, is, it is understood, being pressed to reconsider his refusal to enter the lists for the fourth time." PAUPERISM IN NORTH WALES. The annual return of Mr Bircham, the Local Government Board's Poor-Law Inspector, for the Union-District of Wales and Monmouthshire, respecting pauperism in that Union-District, was issued on July 2rst. Taking the North Wales Poor-Law Unions, the percentage of paupers to the population, are as follow :—Wrexham 2, For- den 2T, Aberystwyth 2*5, Hawarden 2-6, Conway 27, Ruthin 3-2, Corwen and Llanrwst 3-3, Bala 3-4, Lampeter 3-6, Machynlleth 3-7, Dolgeliey 3-8, Newtown and Llanidloes 4-1, St Asaph 4'3, Fes- tiniog 4"4, Anglesey 4*5, Bangor and Beaumaris 4-6, Hoywell and Pwllheli 47, Holyhead 5-2, Car- narvon 5*4. The total number of persons receiving indoor relief on March 25th in the North Wales Unions was 1,752, and the outdoor paupers 17,058, a total of 18,8 [0, as against 18,492 for the previous years. Supplementing the above summary, the follow- ing additional details will be of interest:—Out- door paupers, exclusive of Asylum patients and vargrants, during the half-year", together with the cost for indoor and outdoor maintenance per head of the population Anglesea Union, 521, 5s gfd; Holyhead, 764. 5s i id Bangor and Beaumaris, 1,201, 5s 7id Carnarvon, 1,408, 5s Sld; Conway, 463, 4s 2id; Pwllheli, 803, 5s 6gd Llanrwst, 277, 1 71 4s o|d Ruthin, 367, 5s ijd Wrexham, 980, 2S 6i[:d St Asaph, 888, 4s nfd Hawarden, 223, 2s 7d Holywell, 1,464, 5s 4d Bala, 147, 4s 6-ld 4 Corwen, 361, 4" Sid; Dolgelley, 384, SS otd; Fes- tiniog, 658, 5s io £ d Forden, 214, 2s 4d Llan- fyllyn, 491, 4s 3^d Machynlleth, 334, 5s 5!d Newtown and Llanidloes, 579, 55 4fd. THE COMING TRIP TO LLANGOLLEN. The Church Sunday Schools are going for their annual trip, to Llangollen, on Monday next. They will leave Conway by the 7.2 a.m. train, and will return by a special train at 6.30 P-ru- from Llangollen. Llangollen is beautifully situated, and full of interest to the tourist as well as to the antiquarian. Among the objects of interest, are Valle Crucis Abbey, or Mynachlog Llan Egwest.—A Cistercian house (like the old Abbey Conway), rebuilt A.D. 1200, on what was an old foundation. At the Dissolution, the Abbey's revenue, according to Dugdale, was £ 188 per annum, which (at that time) was a very consider- able endowment. There are still remains of the Abbey and the Church attached. The ruins present us with different styles of architecture there are also some inscriptions, and, as far as memory serves, the coffin of the Founder (Madoc ap Gruffydd Maelor) was discovered a few years ago. Pillar of Eliseg.—About a quarter-of-a-mile higher up the Vale, is the remainder of a column; perhaps one of the most ancient of any British inscribed pillars now existing. It is a sepulchral pillar to the memory of Eliseg, and the character of the inscription points to the sixth century. The adjacent township of Glwyseg probably derives its name from Eliseg. The Old Bridge--Built in 1357 by John Trevor, Bishop of St. Asaph. "Un o dri thlws Cymru," that is One of the three beauties of Wales." Plas Newydd.—Once the home of the famous Ladies of Llangollen." Castell Dinas BrAn,A,hich Saxon, in his ignorance of the language of Wales, has tran- slated Crow Castle." DEATH OF MRS WALLACE. We deeply regret the sad duty of announcing the death, at an advanced age (in her 85th year), of Mrs Wallace(the mother of Councillor Wallace), who passed away, on July 23rd, at Belfieid, County Dublin. We feel sure that all those who have seen and known Mrs Wallace, during her many visits to Deganwy, will deeply sympathise with Councillor Wallace and his bereaved father and relations, in the loss they have sustained. During their frequent sojourns within the ancient borough, the Rev Mr and Mrs Wallace had been well-known to many of us, and all will sincerely regret the cause of this notice. Mrs Wallace was one who had endeared herself to all those who came in contact with her, by her cheerful kindly ways and truly Christian goodness. Perhaps all may not know that Mrs Wallace was a thorough Welshwoman, and the last surviving grandchild of the Venerable Archdeacon Roberts (of Glan ), whose family pedigree goes back, through Owen Gwynedd, to the Prince of Wales. The incidents which Mrs Wallace could speak about of the olden days (from the time of George IV.) were most interesting to any who had the privilege of her acquaintance, and it is interesting to note that she was one of those who was present at the Coronation of our aged Queen.
