sr. ASAPH DISTRICT HIGHWAY BOARD, The ordinary meeting of this Board was held at the St. Asaph Workhouse on Saturday, there being present: Sir W. G. Williams Bart., Chairman, Dr. Eaaterby, vice-chairman Messrs R: J. Sisson, Edwin Morgan, Jos. Lloyd W. Smith, Cape. Lean, Dr. Davies, T. Sleight, T. Ellis, Lemuel Hughes, Ed. Hughes, J. Storey, J. Pierce, Thos. Mattnews, W. Kathbone, &q., the Clerk (Mr Qrimsley) and the Surveyor (Mr B. Lloyd.) Particulars Required. Whilst inspecting the expenditure book, Mr I Jos. Lloyd suggested that vouchers should be produced, as the examination could not be a thorough one in their absence. New Pathway near Rhyl. The minutes of the previous meeting showed that Mr Smith had been allowed to construot a path by the aide of the road from Merllyn to the Grange Road. The Proposed Diversion of Road at Prestatyn. The minutes of a special meeting held on the 15th of December were read. This had been called to consider the plans of the L. & N. Western Railway Company for the diversion of the road and the erection of a bridge at Prestatyn. On the motion of Dr. Davies, seconded by Mr T. Ellis, it was carried by 14 to 2 that the Board dissent from the proposal, and the Clerk was directed to forward a copy of the resolution to the company. Capt. Loan said that a vestry bad been he'd at Presttyn, attended by some 50 ratepayers, and he produced a copy of the resolutions carried. Tbese, which appeared in our issue of last week were handed to the Chairman, and he read them, afterwards saying that they simply bore out the expression ot the Highway Board. He thought it was generally admitted that it was desirable to have a straight line, so that all corners—and that there were some nasty corners as well as bad gradients shewn in the plan—might be avoided He did not think it would cost the Company much more to erect a bridge at the present crossing, and it would be far better for Prestatyn to have a straight road than a road full of corners. The level crossing was a great inconvenience, and he hoped it would ba done away with ere long. It was tot the Board's duty to say what should be done, but rather to contine themselves to watching their own rights and of the ratepayers. Mr Lloyd safd that there wore 11 at Prestatyn in favour of the plans, find he should have thought there could be no objection on the part of the Board to ailow the Prestatyn people to fight for themselves. The (Jhairrann replied that the msjority of the vestry appeared to be of the same opinion as the Boar j. Mr Sm th aakerl if the resolution of the last Board meeting d d not put them out of court with regard to anythii g further being dwe, a cmng tOiit was eucouragad by the rider paa&ed by the vestry. The Clerk replied that it did not. The Board had simply disapproved of the plans as they stood. Mr Smith remarked that the resolution passed gave no encouragement whatever to the com- pany. The Board simply negatived the plans, without assigning any reasons, or suggestirg anything better, whilst they had been tor years j asking to havea bridge erected, and complaining of the delay caused by the level crossing, Mr Morgan said that four or five years ago, wheu Mr Wm. Williams was waywarden he complained of the wicket gates being locked, and of delays of 10 or 15 minutes in getting through the big gates. Mr ILyd asked how wouH the ratepayers vote if they were polled on the question. C*pt. Lfan replied that they would be all againat closing the present thoroughfare. Oleik read a resolution pssssd Dec. 1883 when it was declared that the existing m de ot crossing the line (oy the footbridge) was an un- desirable one, and that it was advisable to erect bridge for all traffic. Mr Smith suggested that the Board should now encourage the doing of something; but, The Clerk replied that tho matter was n t before them. Thoy had simply been asked to assent or to diesent from the plans, aud not asked for any reasons. The Chairman If they want any reasons, we can give them. Pathway to the Grammar School. Dr. Easterby complained that the footpath leading the National Schools to the Gram- mar School had not received any benefit from the 26 tons of stones and riddlings ordered at the last meating for St. Asaph roads, and along which some 50 children walked daily. The Surveyor replied that the stones had been used where most necessary, it was in- tended to alter the curve of the path mentioned. The Board and the County Surveyor. A letter was received from Mr Aluo Lloyd threatening the Board with proceedings unless they made the amende honorable for taking a certain strip of land belonging to Mr David Winamp, Pistyll, Tiemeirchion, towards widen- ing Tygwyn road. Mr JOB. Lloyd defended the action of the Board, and several members said that Mr Wiliams had given his verbal consent, and even agisted the committee up to a certain point after the work had been commenced, when he appeared to change his mind. it was decided, after a locg discussion, that the Board should abide event. Adoption of a Road. Mra Rogers, Grove House, complained oft he bad condition of the road leading from Mount Road to the Bishop's Gardens, St. Asaph. Mr Lloyd and Mr Storey said that it was an old township road, and the Board ultimately agreed to repair it, Mr saying that it could be do e at a very trifling expense, perhap- of not more than 2s. (id. a year for scraping it; Mr Morgan i dding that, people who pa:d rate* were entitled to decent roads to their houses. A Road and Culvert at Melhlen. A letter was read from Cap*. Fuller, com- plaining of the state of a culvrt IHld rom; hftwoen Pwliybont and the Vicarage, Melideu. Tho stream at tnn< s ran enr the roud rendering it impassable. It wad admitted that the culvert was rather short and ¡ hat there wa3 no protccti m. Capt. Lean offered stones to lengthen the culvert, if the Board would provide the hbour, and theeffW was accepted. It was etated to be a very old oulvert, and Mr Lloyd thought it might have been made by Edward I. (Laughter). A Dangerous spot at Bryniau. The Surveyor reported that a portion of the Wall on the road side had been knocked down by a horwe and cart. The man who had caused the accident had promised to rebuild the wall, and it was:decided to hurry him OD, the spot being at present a dangerous one. Paving at St. Asaph. Mrs Jones, The Lodge, Chirk, having been asked to repair the pavement in front of some property in Chester S reet, wrote saying that it ought to be dene at the public expense, inas- much as the wear had been caused by the public. She further asked why Chester Street, more than High Street, should be attended to. Mr Lloyd agreed that the Boatd should do the work. Mr Lemuel Hughes said that in Rhyl private persons had to do the paving. Mr Grimsley said that other parts would have to be attended to in their turn. The Board in Clover. It was reported that £ 153 had been remitted by the Local Government Board, and £161 by the County Treasurer, towards the maintenance of main roads, and that there was £ 77(; at the bank. Ona member said that they were now in clover, another that they never were in such a flourishing state before the third suggasted a dinner, and the foarth the immediate repairing of all their footpaths, while the fifth contented himself with a hope that they were getting good interest at the bank. Dyserth Arrears. The Clerk reported that all the parishes stated at the previous meeting to be in arrears had paid except Dysertb, where £21 was owing. The rate there had not been made, but it would Boon be. The poor-rate also had not been got in, the Vicar having given notice that he would not be liable for tithe rate and taxes, and conse- quently a supplemental list would have to be made oat. The Board and the County Council. The Chairman said that the next meeting: would be the last to deal with main roads, which on the last day of March would be handed over to the County Coancil. He hoped the new body would find them in a satisfactory condition. He did not know how they would be maintained in future it might be that the work would bo de- legated to the Highway Board, and he was sure the Board would be happy to assist the Counoil by attending to them. ] The Surveyor, in reply to qqeeÜODB, said that there were about 32 miles of "38 Its the district, and the expenditi was! £22. The Clerk said that the c' ^oeedeu | but whereas the county only h:f. j iu future it would pay all the t Mr Lloyd But the money will come out 01 the rates all the same. The proceedings terminated, after Messrs Lloyd and Smith had signed cheques.

ST. THOMAS'S CHOIR AND BELL. RINGERS' SUPPER. The annual supper given to the adult members of the choir and the bell-ringers of the St. Thomas's, Rhyl, was partaken of this year at the Belvoir Hotel, where Mr and Mrs Mackenzie made capital preparations for the occasion, all the arrangements being excellent and a sumptuous bill of fare provided. Mr Churchwarden Little occupied the chair, the vice being filled by Mr F. J Gamlin, captain of the bell ringers. There were also present The Rev Clement Davies, Messrs G A Taverner, F Geary, F J Wallis, F Hordley J M Powell, Fred Homan, Ed H Williams, A Sandoe, A Mathews. J Gregory, J Wallis, G Ditchfield and J Newbold. The loyal toasts having been proposed and duly honoured, The Chairman proposed The Bishop and Clergy." They were truly sorry for the unfortunate state of the Bishop's health, especially as it produced a dead-lock in the diocese. They were in this diocese in the singular position of having neither a bishop nor a dean, but he hoped that worthy successors to the two offices would soon be appointed. As to the clergy of the diocese.they were here well represented and very well satisfied. Ihe work was amicably and successfully carried on (applause). The Rev Clement Davies in responding reciprocated the expression of regret made at the illness of the Bishop, whilst in losing the dean they were losing a man whose sympathies with them had been most thorough. (Hear, hear). The rev gentleman then paid a high tribute to the bell-ringers for their assiduity and excellent striking, and also to Mr Wrigley for his successful exertionj in training the choir. In con lotion he pro- posed the health of the Vicar, and alluded to his estimable work in the parish, and his diligence in visiting the poor and siclc. The Vicar's health having been cordially drunk, Mr Taverner proposed the two Chnrchwai-dens of the church, and referred in the first instance to the con tinned labours of their true old friend Mr Roose, not only in connection with the church as churchwarden, but also with the National Schools. He had at all times been indefatigable, and his services most valuable (Cheers). Then as to Mr Little, he had gained goiden opinions all round sinr'e he had become a resident of Rhyl. He not only performed the duties of a church- warden, but was also a most indefatigable memoer of the choir. (Ciheers.) In conclasion the prnpos^r -uggesifi i that the acconnts should be made up and published in detail by Easter Sunday or shortly ;iftenvanis. Mr LIttle, in responding t, the Kias ap I,i4;ze(I for the absence of the senior churchwarden. A; to lae :1<: counts, he said that they as wardens of St Thomas's which was merely a chapel of-ease, had nothing to do wi h them. And tlieu there were some of the ncc >uuts which were not closed the same time as others, and tnat meant delay in iheir prnduction; atho igh he was s».re lhe Vicar was as anxious as anyone to expedite publica. tion. (Cheers). The Rev Clement Davies proposed the health of the choir, and referred to the high efficiency ol the ringers, He also spoke of the excellency of the singing and the carefal manner in which the choir was trained by Mr Wrialey. (Cheer-). Mr Wrigley having briefly responded, The Chairman in complimentary terms, proposed the health of the bell-ringers, and Capt Gamlin acknow- ledged the toast. The President and Vice-president were afterwards toasted, and Mr and Mrs Mackenzie thanked for the excellent provision they bad made far the evening. Several songs were given by the Chairman, Mr Wrigley, Mr Taverner, Mr Asher, Mr Ditcnlield, Mr Sandoe, Mr E. II. Williams, Mr Newbold, Mr Gregory, and the evening very pleasantly spent.

DEMOLISHING A TALL CHIMNEY AT PRESTATYN. Scarcely a person passing Prestatyn along the line of railway can have failed to observe the tall chimney which towered over the old Alkali Works to the north east of the railway station at the village. The works to which it was attached have been discontinued for about 28 years, and the population of the place has since considerably decreased. The works were started by Mr Hills, of Amlwch, and the chimney erected, some 43 years ago, by Mr Steele of Liverpool. It passed sub- sequently into (other hands, and when Mr T. Griffies- Dixon bought the discontinued works, they were then in the possession of Messrs Bigland, Sons and Jeffreys. Lately the property fell into the hands of Mr Vochin, Bodnant Hall, who owns considerable portions of land in the townships of Nant and Prestatyn. Mr Pochin, who devotes much study to the development of Prestatyn, thought that the chimney and the adjoining semi- ruinous buildings gave persons travelling by rail a bad impresiion of Prestatyn, in view of the efforts 'hat are being made to develope it into a favounte watering place. Consequently he determined to have tiie chimney taken down, and to use the bricks, which are of excellent Ruabon make, for other and more serviceable purposes To carry out the work of demolishing the chimney the services of a Steeple-Jack were secured, and this was Mr John Prince, 40 Montague Street, Manchefter. He came down last week, and commenced making his arrangements. The mode adopted was to displace sume blocks of masonry at the ba-e, and replace them by blocks of pitch pine. When the proper time came about these blocks were fired. and as ttiey crumbled away the erection, loosicg support, tottered to its fall like a stack of loose bricks. The ebiumey was 25) ards in circum- ference at the base, and its light was said ;o be 95 yards. Mr Prince has had considerable experience in dealing with tall chimneys, and it has not been without accidents attending it. Jack fell a distance of 60ft. once, and his hip has been out of joint ever since. He bad another fail of 36 feet not long ago, and his back was temporarily injured. He, however, takes a great deiight iu his vocation. Mr Pochin arrived on the ground shortly before 11 o'clock on Monday morning, after the fire had been kindled. We also saw among the many present :—Mr T. Griliies-Dixon, Sir W. Grenville Williams, Bart, Capt. and Mrs Conwy, Dr J. Lloyd Roberts, medical officer of the union, Mr W. Bell and the Misses Bell, Mr and Mrs Ch. Bell, Mr and Mrs Conwy Bell, Mr Humberstone, Glanywern, Mr T. W. Reader, Mr Roberts, Dyserth Hall, Mr and Miss Hunt, Dr Thomas, Mr M. D. Roberts, Mr Geo. Bell, Mr Robert Hughes, Mr Steer, Mr Roebuck, Mr Lawrence, Mr S. Davi 's, Mr and Mrs W. G. Jones, Rev and Mrs Rippon. Mr Dawson, Mr J. H. Ellis, Mr I. Oldfield, Mr P. Roberts, Mr Bates, Mr Kendall, Mr and Miss E. Day, and a large number of persons from Prestatyn. It had been arranged that the st..ck should fall in a north eastern direction, and shortly after 11 o'clock, the tall chimney which has been a landmark for the country round for nearly a quarter of a century was laid prostrate on the ground, the dolorous tinkling of the fog bell on the light-ship being very distinctJy heard at the time, as if sounding the knell of the old Alkali Works as well as the long cherished idea prevailing at Prestatyn that they would be soon started again."

FOOTBALL. CORWEN v. RHYL.—These teams met at Corwen on Saturday in cold dull weather. The Corwen Club was assisted by players from various parts of the neighbour- hood, Rhyl being well represented in front, but weak in the back ranks. The game was very pleasantly contested, and some good play was witnessed. Corwen scored soon after starting, and'Williams (centre) equalised. Jones (home left wing) scored again from behind Foulkei-, and a claim of offside was made but overruled. At the interval, Corwen led by 2 to 1. Soon afterwards they scored again, and then Thomas got one through for Rhyl. Foulkes then accidentally headed the ball through against his side, Glass, a few minutes later mulling the leather, thus increasing the Corwen score to 5. From a free kick in the home goal, J. L. Morgan scored, and then Corwen got their sixth point. With only ten minutes to play, Rhyl woke up, and before the whistle blew, Charlie Jones had three times, the game thus ending in a draw of 6 goals each. All the Rhyl forwards played well, J. O. Vaughan being best of the half backs, although E. Williams and Parry put in some very fine work. Foulkes excelled himself in the second half, and was as cool and collected as could be. Glass, too, stopped some wondeifal shots, and, on the whole we believe the whole team did well, and so we give their names Rhyl-Goal, W. Glass; Backs, C. W. Berrie, W. Foulkes; Half-Backs, J. Pairy, J. O. Vaughan (Capt.), E. Williams; Right Wing, J. L. Morgan, Cyril Thomas Left Wing, C. Jones, W. Williams; Centre, W. Williams Umpire, Mr Edwin Price. BUGLE BAND V. 1ST (RESERVE) Tow.-This match was played on the Ground at the Palace and Summer Gardens, on Saturday. The Bugle Band were minus W. and J. D. Asher, whilst the Town Reserve were fully represented, being a very strong team. After the ball was kicked off a very good passing game was played by the Bugle Band, and when Lalf-time was called the scoring stood as follows Bugle Band 3, Town Reserve 0. After a very short interval the ball was soon set again, the Town Reserve playing with some spirit and succeeding in scoring 2 Igoals, and the Bugle Band 1. When time was called the Bugle Baud were victorious by 4 goals to 2. The teams consisted of the following players. Bugle Band-Goal, J. Evans; Full Backs, W. Roberts, B. Ndwards; Half Backs, R.

PRESTATYN P TTY SKSSIONS. MONDAY, JAN 21. Before Sir W. Grenville Wllliams, Bart,, and Dr. Girdlestone. The Trouble brought about by a Bun and Orange Treat. Threatening a Schoolmaster Provisionally. In this case William Williams, gen:Jeman, Victoria Terrace, Prestatyn, had been summoned for. on ttie:ird insv., using divers threats towards R.Lloyd, schoolmaster, whereby the complainant was in tear of bodily injury, and prayed for sureties to keep the peace.— Defendant in replying to it said he was not, willing to be bound over, and that the witaesses slionift be sent out of court Mr A Prichard, solicitor, Chester and Abergele who appeared for complainant, said that his client, was the muster of the National School in that village, havi' g held the post since the 4th of April last "year. He regretted to say that on several occasions defendant had interfered with Mr Lloyd in a rather objectionable mnnaer whilst discharging his duty It was esseiltial to the position of a schoolmaster that he should com- mand the respect of his pupils find that for the perfor- mance of bis duties he should be left unmolested and not made to appear ridiculous in the sight of the children. The conduct of defendant, however, had, on various occasions tended to bring that disrespect about, but it had not been of such a character and sufficiently marked to support any information before the conrt. At last however he went farther than that, and on the 3rd of January he had used most violent and insolent language towards the schoolmaster, and had conducted himself in such a manner as to fully warrant the com- plainant in bringing him up on an action for an assault But he had no desire whatever to act vindictively, as was shewn by the fact that he had instituted only such proceedings as would provide for him the protection of the law, in which he was entitled; The conduct complained of was that defendant on the 3rd inst. bad put nis nst in tne lace 01 the young man, and threatened to screw his neck round. When such language as that was accompanied with the power to inflict an assault, there was 110 other course open bat to chim the court's protection, so as to enable the school duties to be performed efficiently without interference from defendant. Complainant was then sworn, and in reply to his solicitor prccfeded to give evidence as to the school's condition when he came to it and the present average attendance.- Defendant however objected to this evidence, as being irrelevant to the charge, and the Chairman said that the 3rd would have to be kept to.- Mr Pricliard said that all he wanted was to lead up to the third the Chairman replying that all the justices required were the facts of thit day.-The examination was then continued, and complainant said that on the afternoon of the 3rd he left school with a pupil teacher. Previous to that he bad received a note from defendant's wife, asking for the number of children in school, as he understood that she intended giving them bans and oranges. He replied that on account of previous interference he thought best not to give the information. At the close of the school he told the children to go home, for reasons which Mr Williams would not allow him to state there. Defendant was present near the school, and the complainant and the pupil-teacher were followed by him. As he was conversing with the pupil- teacher, defendant shouted out, You had better shut up, or I will screw your neck or you." Complainant replied I did not speak to you, Mr Williams," Defendant then said You had better take care what you are about," and complainant replied I know what I am about, and that I am attending to my duties." At the corner of Sandy Lane Mrs Williams said to com- plainant You are a wretched cur," and he replied Thank you, I always understood you were a lady before." Upon that defendant came up, held his fist to his (complainant's^ face. and said "I will screw your d- neck if you say another word to my wife." The fist was within two or three inches of complainant's face, and he told defendant be would have to take the consequence of his action. He was afraid of receiving bodily injury at the hands of defendant, who was a bigger and stronger man. He had also called defendant a wretched jthing" and "you are a nice master." There were 12 or 15 children present who heard the threat, and complainant thanked him for calling him names in the presence of the school children. 0 Complainant was tiien cross-examined at some length by the defendant. He had not taken out the summons until the 9th, having taken time to consider what. steps he should adopt. Asked, if he was in danger, why he did not issue the summons earlier, defendant replied that it was when interfered with-that he was in danger. He had acted upon his own opinion, strengthened by that of the three managers. One of hem, the Vicar, accompanied him in taking out the summons. He did so because he (the Vicar) was in Rhvl at the time and came to shew him the office. Witness was asked about his antecedents, and said that he had left a previous school simply to go to college. He did not recollect auy parents or guardians complain to him of severity in punishing children. It was true that he had deviated from the timetable, but in doing so he had not broken the code. Mr Prichard called attention to the fact that these questions did not refer to the 3rd, the date to which he had been obliged to confine himself. Mr George replied that more latitude was generally allowed in cross-examination than in the examination in chief. Mr Prichard said he was aware of that, but the sub- ject matter should be relevant under all circumstances. Complainant denied having written an impertinent letter to defendant's wife, when she asked him for the number of scholars. The letter was read and it was in effect as follows :—Taking into consideration certain of last year's affairs in connection with the school, I think it very desirable that you should withhold the gift referred to, and interfere with the children as little as possible- Complainant denied having told the children they would be punished if they went for thebuns, and contended that he had a right to send the children home, and quoted the article in the code under which he had a moral control over the children at times other than when they were in school. Mr Prichard wanted to know what all that had to do with the case, Defendant replying that he wanted to shew that the prosecution was a malicious and vindictive one. He asked complainant if there was a threat—which he did not admit,—whether it was not a provisional one, if he should again speak to his wife. Mr George advised that that point should be argued in the defence. Asked why the children in school were now less in number than when complainant came there, the latter replied that the commencement of the decrease was the offer by defendant of some buns to children who would notlattend the scriptural examination, and his subsequent support to a dame school. Complainant be. lieved it to be his duty to prevent the children coming to defendant for a new year's gift because he had incited them to disobedience. It was true t!:at the children had been kept after 12 o'clock to receive religious instruction and complainant maintained that he had a right to do so as long as parents did not object. No time which should be devoted to secular work had been used in giving religions instruction. Sir William said that all that matter had nothing to do with the question before the court. Complainant was then re-examined, and said that at the school door Mrs Williams called him a "hound." He went in fear of defendant, especially as he had been previously threatened. He had walked over some ground belonging to defendant, used as a common, when the latter said Don't let me find you there again," adding that if he (defendant) was a little less he would shew me what he could do." James Acton was called, and deposed to hearing the threat of screwing the neck made, when defendant rushed to complainant with a closed fist, -Crossexamined: The children where not going home willingly-they were not likely to when there were buns and oranges in question. (Laughter). Defendant did not screw the other's neck, and it was now in the same state as it had always been. Complainant had not told witness he was in bodily fear. Florence Gandon, aged 12, a pupil in the school, de- posed to the threat; and so did Thomas R. Jones, a pupil teacher, and with his evidence the case for the prosecution was closed. Defendant said, in addressing the court, that he had been disappointed in securing a solicitor. His conten- tion was that complainant did not go in bodily fear, as was proved by the fact, that the summons was not taken out until the 9th. Had he feared injury be would have taken out the summons at once. Mr Prichard But he could get no protection until the court would git. Defendant argued that the summons would have been a warning, and maintained that the prosecution was a malicious one. It was the custom of his wife and him. self to give buns to the children at New Year's time, and having on the present occasion been refused the number, he went outside the schoolroom to count the children, inviting them also to come and get the buns. Before they came out in the afternoon he sent Robert Davies to ask them to come as they left. school. The infants, who came out earlier, fetcned their buns, and when he called to the boy Davies asking why the others did not come, he replied that the master had threatened to whip them if they came. The latter stood on the school-step, and urged the children to go home. The vicar was there and assisted him. The children scat. tered like a flock of frightened sheep. Inspector Mc. J Laren was passing, and he (defendant) told him of the 1 tt.Fer.

Defendant was asked if he wished to give evidence himself, and in explaining to him the procedure, Mr George said that the point was whether or no be had made a threat; defendant replying that he was bound to admit that he had made a provisional threat. He de- clined to give evidence, and called Inspector McLaren, who said that he was passing along on the 3rd. As he was coming he could hear high words, but could not say what they were. Defendant came to him and told him of his custom to give buns and oranges to the children, but that the master had I threatened to flog them on the morrow if they came for them. Witness replied," You have a perfect nght to Rive charity to whoever you please." He did not stop, but walked on Mr Prichard And is that all ? Witness It is. Mr Prichurd Then it amounts to nothing. By Mr Williams Witness heard some children saying they would be thrashed if they went for buns, and he replied, Go for your buns, children, if you want thfm." By Mr Prichard Witness could not say which chil- dren bad said so. nor to what school they belonged. The master was 10 or 15 yards awav at the t'mp. Elizabeth Ann Ellis, aged 10, was then called to prove that the master had threatened punishment. She how- ever appearjd to be unable to comprehend the nature of an oath. and was not sworn. Robert Davies, a lad in the service of defendant, de- posed that the children bad told him they would be thrashed if they came for buns. Asked by Mr Prichard for the names of those children, witness said they were Edwin Cunnah and Daniel Cunnah. The schoolmaster wall not present when they said !!o. Mr Williams asked if he coaid call Ellis, the father of the little girl E. A. Ellis, to depose that she bad mentioned at home about the thrashing and was told that he could not. as hearsay was not evidence. The defence was then concluded, and the court cleared for the magistrates to consider their verdict Upon the re admission of the public, Sir William said that the case had been carefully considered. There was a threat made, but it was perfectly understood that it was a conditional one. Consequently the case would be dismissed, each party to pay his own costs. Druvk and IHsorderl; Edw. Davies, Meliden, was find 2s 6d and costs for the above offence, committed on Boxing Day, and proved by P.c Edward Jones, Prestatyn.

"?7.f-L. DE\TH OF THE BISHOP OF ST. ASAPH. The Bishop of St Asaph died on Monday after- noon at the Drummond Aims Hotel, Crieff, Pe-th^hiro, whsre ho has lyif'g ill eii ct- lasr August. Joehu 1 Hughes, P.D., was a son of Mr Charles Hughes, of Newport, Pembrokeshire, and wag born in 1807. When a bov he was to Yi-trad M uri Grammar School, th* then certro f-r preparing candidates for the Church, from whence he proceed*d to t. David's College, Lampeter, where he attained rhe very highest honours, gaining the degree of B. D. He was ordained do c n in ISiJO by tho Bishop f Hri.-to' (D-. Gray), and prlO-t in by the Bishop of Bangir (Mr. Bethell). After serving the cur cy of Abery-twith, which was then in the parish of Lla< badun 11" was pre- ferred to the living of Abe-go j:i in 1831), where he remained for year", dating which period 110 succ?cd'd in teaching the eminent scholar and distinguished divine, tbo Bishop of St. David's (Dr. Thidwall), tho Welsh lingua;* In 18lG he was appointed to he liviDg of Lhm- r;, where be remained for 25 years. Whilst hrre he became visitor to the distinguished Welsh College at Llandovery, and was appointed proctor in Convocation for the diocese of St. OavidV. In tbe year 1870, on the recommenda- tion of tho Eight Uon. W. E. Gladstone, he was elevated to the bi<hopric of St. Asaph, on which occasion he had conferred upon him the degree of D n. by the Arohbisbop of Canterbury. Ic the elevation of the Riv. J. Hughes to the see of St. Asaph, Mr Gladstone paid a high tribute and honour to the Welsh peop'e, and showed how well ho understood the needs of Welsh 'Jliurchmen by appointing a Welsh speaking bishop. The Bey. J. flughea is the first man since 1727 who was thus honoured by b; ing a bishop in his own country. It is true a Dr. John Thomas a native of Dolgelley, was nominated for the see in 1743, but before his consecration he transferred to tho diocese of Lincoln. He was consecrated 70:h Bishop of St. Asaph by the Archbishop of Canterbury, as;sted by the Bishops of London, St. David's and other prelates, and took up his residence shortly afterwards at t. Asaph, wbere, during his occupanco of the see, he nominated the Dean (Mr James), recently appointed bead rsaster cf Cheltenham College, and the Archdeacons of St. Asaph and Montgomery, and Canon Howell, as also the Chancellor, the Worshipful F. Jounc. Canon Hugh Jones is tbe only member of the Chapter who was there fit the Bishop's euthror.e- rneut. Biehop Hughes was a prelate of retiring habits, mainly occupiei in the work of his dioceae, rarely seen in the House of Lords, and taking comparatively little part in the proceedings of the Upper Hoase of Convocation, where, how- ever, ha epok^ to the point on subjects affecting the Cburoh in Wales. He took great interest in bis diocesan conferences. He was a great advocate for co-operation between the clergy and laity, and he devoted great care to his confirma- tious, the being that the proportion of candidates during the last few years in his di cose was in excess of the most important English dioceses. He not unnaturally, as a Lampeter man, preferred a number of Lam peter graduates, a course of conduct which gave rise to considerable dissatisfaction in some quarters. The Bishop's contention was that Lampeter men not only knew the wants of Wales, but were quite as well trained in general knowledge by a succession of able tutors 43 graduates of the o'd Universities and wer" more adapted for the requireme ts of parhhea in the interior. The Biahop was a decided Evangelical—the most pronounced member of that school of though ever nominated by Mr Gladstone-and some of his appointments in the earlier years 01 bi epi copate evoked much adverse comment; but on the whole his distribution of patronage was fair. He was in favour of a system of travelling preachers, able to addtees the people in their own tongue, going about to assist the parochial clergy. He was no orator himself, but his sermou8 were earnest and practic 1, and his couliimation addresses very pointe 1. He had a very kind manner witii children, and though he was an ardent supporter of Church Defence he seldom came into collision with the Noncon- formists. lie nwried, in 1832, Margaret. daughter of Sir Thomas M Kenny, and WIdow of Captain Wyni:, of County Kbiry. The Bishop was at the Lambsth Church Conference aud up to the day of b>)iug seiz -d with the paralytic stroke he wrote his own letters and conducted ail the eorr"speud: nee connected with the ciocese. He bore his 82 years well, aLd to the lft8t, for an old man, was vigorous. He praached frequently in Liverpool at St. David's We!sb Churcn, and took con. eiderable interest in the scheme of providing other chapels than St. David's for the use of Welsh Churchmen. If a dioeesa liko a country is happy tha. has no liietory, the diocese of St. Asaph may be congratulated on the peaceful manner in which work has gone on during the rule of the Bishop just cailed to bis rest. His iast visit to Liverpool was in June, 1887, on the occasion of the opening of the National Jubilee llall. when he preached with his usual vigour and energy to a crowded congregation. He was an able and eloquent preacher in Welsh. He was not an extensive author, having only published some sermons and charges. ° By tbe Bishop's death the vacant doanery falls to the Crown. RECEPTION OF THE BODY AT ST. ASAPH. On Wednesday evening tho body of the deceased prelate was brought by the 6.30 train to the city of bis diocese. The tokens of respect shewn on the occasion were unparalleled at St. Asaph, and the concourse of people which were assembled at the station and its vicinity, un- precedented within the memory of the citizens. Blinds were drawodown in every house, the shops and inns closed, and even the light in the street limps turned partly down. The soene in such gloom may be described as a solemn if not also a weird one. When the oak coffin con- taining the earthly remains of the Welsh Bishop was taken out of the saloon and placed on the open bier, which has been long used to carry both those of high estate and the lowly to their last resting place, the Ven. Archdeacon Thomas, who was accompanied by the Rev. W. H. Williams, Bodolwyddan, and Vicar Williams, recited the opening sentences of the Burial Office. The bier was tden shouldered, and slowly carried through the crowd, the people present formiug in a long procession of two and two, whilst many others, with bared heads, lmed the streets. Opposite the Registry Office the stirring and plaintive funeral hymn Bydd myrdd o ryfeddodau Ar doriad bore wawr, Pan ddelo plant y tonnau I'r lan o'r cy6tudd mawr, was started, and sung until the Palace was reached. Opposite the entrance ball the bier was placed on the ground and another Welsh hymn was sung, Archdeacon Thomas afterwards saying the grace in Welsh, the body taken. inside the Palace, and the concourse silently dispersing The Bishop's sons, Rev. Pritchard Hughas and Professor McKenney Hughes, accompanied the body from Scotland, and Mr S. Powell carried out the arrangements at St. Asaph.

A DERBYSHIRE MAN MADE HAPPY. Under date of Nov. 15th, 1886, Mr. And- rew Browee, of Alma House, Dronfield, Derby- shire writes:—" For many years I have been sorely afflicted with rheumatic gout; some of the time my case was 60 bad that I was obliged to get up stairs on my hands and knee. 1 could not walk or do any work. 1 had tried a great many different remedies without obtaining any lasting benefit. On several occasions the ma- lady became so serious that I employed medical men but they didn't eeem to do me any good. My feet were at times swollen to twice their natural eize, and I bad suffered the greatest agony. I had about given up all hope of ever o being well ogam, when my attention was directed to your infallible pain-killing remedy St. Jacobs Oil, which I procured and applied to my limbd, with the m'lst marvellous effect I was iu a very short time free from puin, and I have, in a large measure, regained the use of my feet and limbs." Mr William Blagden, of Edensor, Blackewell, Derbyshire, was a sufferer from eciat;ca for two years. St. Jacobs Oil completely cured him when all other remedies had failed. Sr. Jacobs Oil acts like magic. Its curative powers are simply marvellous. It conquers pain. quickly and surely. It goes right to the spot. Lt cures when everything elee has tailed. A single trial will convince the most incredulous It has cured thousands of cases of rheumatism and neuralgia which have resisted treatment for the greater part of a lifetime. AS GOOD AS GOLD J.
