ft It y J, MAP.RIAGH.-On Tuesday, at Christ Church, Edinburgh, was solemnized very quietly the wedding of Miss Grace Williams, younger daughter of the late Mr p. R. Williams, of this town. and Mrs Williams, of Edinburgh, with Mr T. Henry Bishop, of London, the ceremony being performed by the Rev C. M. Black, M.A., Vicar of the Parish. The bride wbo was given away by her mother, wore a travelling gown of pretty coloured cloth, and a toque composed of pink fur, violets and cream satin. The bridegroom was attended by Mr Herdman Porter, of Belfast. Im- mediately after the ceremony Mr and Mrs Bishop left for Carlisle. en route for the continent, where their honeymoon will be spent. The presents received were numerous. GENEROUS ACTION OF Th. Vr- n- DÈ. -Out of the payment which "v.1 -cceived for the services which they rendered on the occasion of the fire last summer at Rhyd Farm, the members of the Rhyl Fire Brigade have generously voted a donation of £ 5. to the War Fund, and have made a present of £ b. to Mr Herbert Packman, who met with an accident while jumping off the fire engine on the occasion of this fire. NEXT SEASON AT THE GRAND P A VILION.- We understand that Mr D. Williams, who for the past two years has acted as the resident manager of Messrs Baring Bros., at the Grand Pavilion, will next season manage the Pavilion in the interest of the proprietors. He has already booked several leading companies in- truding The Geisha," The Gay Lord Quex, < h The Greek Slave," ''The Runaway Girl," and hopes to add to the list some of the latest successes in the dramatic world. On Monday and Tuesday, January 1st and 2nd, he has been fortunate in securing a visit from Mr Arthur Hare and Company in a" Pair of Spectacles." Mr Hare is the son of the eminent actor Mr John Hare, who created the leading character in this fascinating and diverting comedy. PAYING OFF THB DEBT.—We understand that the-friends worshipping at Queen Street Congregational Chapel, have paid the sum of £100 off the debt on their premises, and there now remains only a sum of JE50 unpaid. The money has been raised almost entirely among the members and adherents of the church. RHYL VOLUNTEERS TO THE FRONT.-On Tuesday the section Officers of the Rhyl C. Company, of the V.B. Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers were directed to have their mobilsation post oard in roadinest to mobilise their men at a short notice. In the evening of the same day Captain Keatmge received an urgent telegram from the depot at Wrexham asking the probable number of volunteers from Rhyl to South Africa, and requesting an immediate wire. Buglers were sent out and the assemble was sounded, and within an hour's notice there was a muster of 50 men at the Drill Hall in High Street, Of this number no let-a than 44 volunteered for active ser- vice, and evinced a keen desire to go out The whole of the stretoher section under Sergeant 8urson, volunteered, and also the sigualling section. Captain Keatinge also evinced his intention to go out if his men were wanted. The enthusiastic response, and the patriotism shown by the men has created much satisf lotion in the town. A SBBVICH OF FRAisi3 will be held at the Brunswick Welsh Wesleyan Chapel, on Sunday evening, at 6 o'clock, when a choir under the oonductorship of Mr J. Pierce Lewis, will render setections from the Messiah." DBATH OF MB HUBRBT O'DBADY.—Mr Hubert O'Grady, the celebrated Irish comedian, died early on Tuesday morning at 43, Mount Pleasant. The deceased gentleman, who was paying a private visit to Liverpool, contracted a ohill a few days ago, and despite the best endeavours of Dr. street, expired, as already stated. Mr Hubert O'Grady was one of the best known actor managers in the provinces. In addition to being a comedian of broad and unotuous humour, he was a very bucoessful playwright, two of his pieces, "The Fenian" and "The Famine, bringing him in a considerable fortune. Latterly Mr Hubett O'Grady went reside at Rhyl, where he leased and managed for some years the Operetta House, and brought httre several of the best London Companies, built a fine house for himself. He was born in Limerick in 1841, and started life as an upholsterer, and worked in the Compton House, Liverpool. At an early age, however, he developed a decided taste for the stage, and atter debating the point for < little time he decided to leave the workshop and take a life more in harmony: with his de- sires. During the twent-five years follow ing, Mr O'Grady passed through almost every bianch of the profession, from a ghost show to vocalist in oratario. Eight years after commenc- ing his oareer before the footlights, he was engaged by the late Dion Bouoioault to play Conn, aud he was the first artist who assumed the role in the provinces. Shortly afterwards he started on ta ur as his own manager and author, his first play being The Gommoch, which he produced on St. Patrick's night, at the Royal, Stockton. After "The Gommoch" hrd a most successful run, Mr. O'Grady wrote Eviction, and directly this famons drama appeared its success was warranted. For five years he played the pieoe in England, and then took it to America. Supsequently he toured in Australia, and for the last few years devoted himself mainly to English provinces.
. ABERGELE URBAN DISTRICT…
ABERGELE URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL. DISAPPEARANCE OF THE SURVEYOR AND COLLECTOR. The monthly meeting of Abergele and Pensarn Urban Council was held on Monday, under the presidency of Mr Thomas Williams.-The Clerk reported that he had that day received the following letter from Mr R. E. Hughes, the father of Mr Roberts, E. Hughes, surveyor, sanitary inspector, and rate collector to the Council:— "Dear sir,-I very much regret to inform you that my son, Robert, finding that his accounts were deficient, has left Abergele, and, I am afraid, the country-of which I have just been informed,— and I am unable to say where he is at present. I have, with the assistance of a friend, gone througb his accounts, and find there is a defioienoy, but thf aotual amount I cannot exaotly say, as I do not know what amounts are due to him for salary and other matters. Kindly let me know who are his guarantors. I send herewith two cheques aad a credit by refund, amounting to L 14. 17s. 6d., which please have plaoed to his credit. I send you also the rate oollector's books. I shall be glad to know the actual defioienoy when you have made it out.- Yours, truly, RXCSABD EDWASD HXJOHBS." P.S.-I am having all the papers, &c., belonging" ;0 the Council collected, and they will be sent you tomorrow. J EM0" W°,Von of Mr J- Pierce, seconded by Mr Edwards Williams, it was resolved "that the Clerk be instructed to investigate the collector's hooka and ascertain the deficiency, and as soon as possible issue a warraatjfor the arrest of the collect >r, Robert E. Hughes; also that the Clerk be empowered to obtain outside help if necessary and to collect the balance of the rate, the question of extra remunerat- ion to be considered later." A committee was ap- pointed to consult with the Clerk on the matter.— Mr Thomas Evans remarked that, although he had had no hand in electing Mr Hughes as their sur- veyor and collector, he thought the matter ought not to be passed over without a word, He did not know whut they ware to do. WboLa could they trust? This officer from a neighbonriug town, like his prodecesaor, came to them with exceHent testimonials. He had testi- monials from gentlemen they as a Council knew well, and after all the trouble and care tht the Council had taken he had mude a fool of them and laughing stock of the town. He really ielt it very deep)y. He did not know how in the world they were to go about the business in future. It was impoisible to put trust in testimonia s (hear hear). The Cleik reported that the Sub-committ a on the question of the pinfold which obstructs the view of the new County School from the m;Aira mad, and the removal of which is desired, me on December- 14, there being also present representatives of the County School Governors and Mr Charles Jones, the proprietor of thli land adjoining. A uu nitnous opinion was put on recoid tb, t in the interests of the County School it was desirable that the pinfold should be removed, and th-1 the Council should be asked to obtain accommodation elsewhere for the E0W the-e. Mr Cra'ubo explained #>. the couuty school governors had no funds out of which they could assist to provide another build- tor the town's purposes, and they thr<iW them- se ves upon ihe mercy of the Urban Council, whom tney asked to carry out the improvement in the interest, of the school which is an important, benefit ° v,*6 i18 Jones promised to build on his land if the ugly pinfold were removed, and the increased rateable value would compensate the Council for the expeuse.—The further con- sideration of the question was adjourned. If was explained that the Publie Works Loan Commissioners had agreed to lend for 30 yeare to he Council at 3 per ceat per annum the money required to furm and tile footpaths in the town, in accordance with the authority to borrow recently garnted.— Mr Evans said the terms were very favourable, considering the present condition of the money market. --The offer was acceptjd. Alluding to the bill with which the Council is now proceed- ing to Parliament for power to compulsorily acquire land for widening the road from Abergele to the station at Pensarn, Mr Crabbe. the clerk, said he had received notice of three dissentients-the two large landowners who declined to sell and one tenant. He had had three assents, and no reply from the other parties interested, nor did they expet any (hear, hear), r
. THROUGH A PANE OF GLASS.-
THROUGH A PANE OF GLASS. Very few of us know how beautiful the bottom of the ocean is. In southern waters we can see much deeper than in our northern waters. In Bermuda a wooden box about twelve or lilteen inches deep, with a glass bottom, is used to look at the water life. This box is trailed after the boat or held at the side, revealing wonderful plants, fish, sea flowers, caves and mountains, and sea forests. In the Island of Santa Catalina, on the Paeifio r.oasfc, boats for travellers are used having a pant of heavy plate glass about twelve feet long .IId. sei led in the bottom, raised so that in running in and out shore it will not be struck by rocks. The passengers sit on either side of this pane of glass, and watch the wonderful sea life over which they are passsing. These boats are used at night, when the water is illuminated. Every move of the boat, the water dripping from the oars, brings the most beautiful colours in view. Sometimes it seems as if great worms were floating in the water. These appear and dis- appear coming to the top they are caught, and prove to be sea worms, that, held in the hand, emit about as much light as a smouldering sulphur match. Another thing revealed by these glass-bottomed boats is the destruction caused by some of the sea insects, such tiny creatures that you scarcely see them. They eat into the great trunks of trees used to build wharfs, and so honeycomb them that the wharfs fall into the water after a time. The piles of the wharfs are ablaze with light given. out by these tiny creatures at night. "Daddy," said Ralph, "may I ask you a ques- tion in arithmetic ? Certainly, my boy," said the father, proud of his son's love for study. "Well, how many times what makes seven. Daddy ? I want to ask you one more question," said little Frank, as he was being put to bed. Well ? acquiesced the tired woman, some- what impatiently. When holes come in stockings, what becomes of the piece of stocking that was there before the hole came ? Tho other day a little fellow entered a shop and said: "I want a dog's muzzle." Is it for your father ? asked the cautious shopkeeper, who saw that the boy made no offer to pay for it. "No," said the customer indignantly, "of course it isn't, it's for our dog." "Well, Tommy." said his Uncle John, how are you going on at school ? d "Oh, splendid answered Tommy. "I'm not doing so well as some of the boys, though. I can stand on my head, but I have to put my feet against the wall. I want to do it without being anywhere near the wall, and I think I can after a while." Little Pansy: Let us play keeping house." Little Ethel: "All right! You pretend you are a lady and I am callin' on you." Little Pansy That'll be fun Now sit down and ask me how I like my new cook." A school-teacher asked an Irish boy to de- scribe an island. Sure, it is a place you can't leave without. boat," replied Pat. IDEAS OF LITTLE PEOPLE. An English boy in the Chinese Empire writes home that he has learned to speak Broken China." A little girl who had been to a circus for the first time in her brief life, greatly amused the family on her return by telling them she saw the elephant eat with its front tail." One day little Esther's aunt received a letter. While reading it she dropped the envelope. Esther picked it up and handed it to her, saying: "Auntie, here's the skin of your letter." Felix had just broken his mother's most vaia- able parlour ornament, a precious jug, and exclaimed joyously How lucky there wasn't anything in it!" "Now, Bobby," said the teacher, "what does lazy mean ? "Please teacher," said little Bobby, "lazy means you always want your little sister to do it for you." A WISE BIRD. One of our neighbours has a cat that likes to rob the birds' nests of the little birds; but a robin that built in our orchard hit upon a plaii that quite baffled Mrs. Pussy. Hobin fastened the ends of two very fragile branches that overlapped together, and built his nest just at the join. It was fun to see pussy try in vain to reacb the nest after the young birds were hatchecL She would creep cautiously along, first from one side and then from the other, but neither of the branches would bear her and at last she gave up in despair, and Mrs. Robin reared her younff ones in peace. j
