Penrhiwceiber. Alderman R. W. Jones, M.D., J.P., has just left for Boumemouth in order to recruit his health after his recent attack of typhoid fever. We wish him a speedy recovery and a safe re- turn to his sphere of labour. .The Rev R. Thomas called die attention of *8 congregation on Sunday morning to a book 5hieh is to be soon out of the press, entitled jOiwygwyr Cymru," by Mx Benah Gwynfe of Carnarvon. This book is supposed be a standard relative to the history of the f!rst Nonconformists in Wales. The author has L- n most indefatigable in his efforts to get at h_9 facts. It has cost him in monev L300 be- lides the labour. Undoubtedly this contribu- r°n "ill throw great light on manv items? which «ere hitherto enshrouded in mist. All Non- conformists will be laid under great indebted- ness to Mr Evans for this contribution from pen. When the matter was brought before ^.rmel congregation it was hailed with de- "ght, and a great number enrolled their names subscribers thereto. It is to be hoped that Congregationalists in particular and Non- conformists in general will give the enterprise t'heir hearty support.

qafod. A very interesting meeting was held at Beth- esda Baptist Chapel on Monday night last. The Rev Thomas Davies who has had the pas- toral charge of Bethesda for the last nine years has lately been called to the pastoral of the Baptist cause at Felin-ganol, Pembrokeshire, and his departure was made the occasion for the presentation of an illuminated address by the members of Bethesda, and a specially prepared satin address by the members of the Baptist Unionof the district. This last address was artistically got up at the "Chronicle" Office, Pontypridd. The building on Monday night wa filled by members and friends of Mr and Mrs Davies and a very hearty send off was accorded the family. On all sides sincere wish- es for their future welfare and success we" poured forth in eulogistic terms by well known ministers and friends. The meeting which was ably presided over by the Rev John Williams, Congregational Minister, Hafod, was largely attended by neighbouring ministers and a vecy pleasant evening was spent. During his stay at Hafod, Mr Davies earned a host of friends, and has always taken a prominent part 'n .the mloral and social welfare of his flock. The members' address, which was presented by Mr Henry Thomas, a hoary headed old deato-3. testified to his excellent character, his ene gy and tact in earring out the duties of the church and the fatherly presenter aptly voiced the views of the congregation by saying that Mr Davies was welcome to return whenever he liked. The Rev W. Rees, Rhondda read and presented the other address on behalf of the Ministers' Union. Mrs Davies was also present- ed with a very handsomely bound Bi 1. Mr W H. Bellin, the secretary of the presen' ufon meeting handed the Bible on behalf of the esda Sunday School, and Mr Archie Gibbon re- sented Miss Rachel Ann Davies with a Hymn Book, also the gift of the Sundae c-chool I The meeting, between the intervals was fillH by speeches, songs and recitations.

Mr Mr Davies suitably responded and thanked the members for their gifts, and for the aid which they had rendered him during the time he had been their pastor and also for the kindness and consideration they had shown him during the periods he had suffered ill-health. He was glad to say that he was leaving without having any ill-feeling for anyone, but on the contrary he felt full and hearty goodwill to all. The Lewis Merthyr Collieries Temperance Band played a selection of music and the Hafod Male Voice Party sang "Valliant Warriors," and "How can I bear to leave thee," in a manner which did credit to their conductor Mr David Thomas, Gyfeillion.Songs were sung by Messrs John Isaac, and Gomer Morgan, a -.elect I. 1-11 the fife by Mr David Thomas, and recitation by Miss Aston.

A young lad named Clement Spence, Coed- ptnmaen, was summoned for lighting crackers o 1 the main road and throwing them at passing I horses. P.C. Nicholls proved the case. The little boy now said he was very sorry. The ¡ Stipendiary said he did not see the fun of the I thing, and advised the boy's father to give him good thrashing. The result of throwing a cracker at a spirited horse might have resulted in a most serious accident. We fine your son 10s or two days 'imprisonment, and if you pay the fine for him, we advise you to give him a gjood thrashing. Unfortunately we cannot order him to be birched because he is above the age. PONTYPRIDD CABBY ILLTREATS HIS WIFE.

In the event of him not being able to do so, he must go to gaol for a fort- night's hard labour. OLD ACQUAINTANCE NOT FORGOTTEN.

-4_ Ferndale Notes. Mr Lewis Williams of the Royal Auction Mart is again paying Ferndale a visit for a length- ened time. He opened on Friday last with a large assortment of Household Furniture, Cut- lery, Watches, Clocks, JeweUry, and all kinds of other articles far too numerous to mention. On inspecting the mart one is struck with the new tent, which Mr Williams had specially built to his own designs, which reflects great credit upon himself and also the makers of the knt, Messrs E. Davies and Co., Sandon Lane, Cardiff. The tent is lit up with the new Acetelyne Gas, and there are three planks upon which his assistants show and sell the goods. The tent is capable of holding 2,500 people and as seen from the stage en Friday Night with its crowded audience, it presented a spectacle not soon to be forgotten. Mr Williams has his old favourites with him, viz., Theo Daniels the well known Welsh Comedian, Paddy Wat- eon, England's greatest Clown, also Bob John- son the accomplished accompanist, with the addition of Harry Beresford an excellent sing- er of sentimental and comic songs, and Harry Matthews the Policeman and Plumber. Taken altogether they are a good all round company, and I have no doubt that Mr Williams will do a very big business during his stay here. a very big business during his stay here.
