TUWYN. NEW VICARAGE.-Plans of the new vicarage at Llanegryn, prepared by Messrs Hjpkiss and Bassett, the well-known ecclesiastical architects, have been approved. The site of the vicarage is a beautiful one. It commands a full view of the vale of the Dysynni from the Birds' Rock to the sa. VISITORS.—The town is really as full as it can hold of visitors, the computed number of whom is 2,000 Hundreds have come and gone away unable to find a resting place. Towyn is fastly resuming respectabte proportions. Duriug these weeks the population, including volunteers, camp followers, visitors, and residents number close on 10000. One gratifying fact in connection with this large number of people is the ample supply of water to be found in the Rhydyronen V alley, but it becomes clearer every day that additional water mains will have to be supplied in a very short time. VOLUNTEERS.—The volunteers have come and the mighty host has spread its big camp on the plain below Neptune Hall. There are about six thousand men. It is difficult to say how this fine body of men would behave in the faces of an invad- ing army, but it is fair to assume that they would frignt the enemy with as much courage as they fought the elements on Friday and Saturday nights list. There was a high easb wind, blowing the dust and gravel in clouds; the nights were dark and really stormy, bur. in spite of the darkness, the du-t and dangers, the volunteers piraled the streets and the roads and sang merrily in the midst of all the adversity. On Sunday afternoon there was a very welcome downfall of rain which laid the dust and softened to a certain extent the hot parts of the ground. REMARKABLE SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.—There lives at Aberdovey aa exemplary police constable whose chiidren have mariethe following remarkable attendances at school without a break. One child has attended four years, another three years, an- other two year, and another one year. P.C. Price has other children who have distinguished them- selve* in the scholastic line. One if not male has entered the teaching profession. The example which these children set to others is c-rtainly worthy of imitation. Mr Jones, registrar, has a child who has attended school for five years with- out a break. There are other children at the Board School, Aberdovey, who have attended school some for three, some for two. and some for one year without a break. Good attendance is not the only distinguishing feature of the children at this school for five of them took scholarships at the recent examination at the Towyn County School. PETTY SESSIONS.

DROWNING FATALITY. On Thursday evening, a visitor named Mr Watson Smith, staying at Bryntegid, Towyn, was drowned whilst bathing in the sea. It appears that he made the mistake of bathing some hundreds of yards from the recognised bathing place and it is presumed that he was seized with cramp. Mr Smith, who came from Whalley Range, Manchester, and was a junior cashier in the Union Bank, York street, Manchester, was the son of Mr Smith, the late manager of the Bradford District Bank, left Man- chester a fortnight ago to spend his holidays at Towyn, in company with Mr Ellison, manager of a branch of the Union Bank. On Thursday last both gentlemen went for a cycle ride to Talyllyn. They returned to Towyn about half-past two in the after- noon, and, after allowing himself sufficient time to get cool after his hot ride, Mr Smith decided to go and bathe. He left the house about half-past four and when he did not return to dinner, Mr Ellison grew anxious and went in search of him. Just as he reached the beach two of the volunteers who were encamped at Towyn were engaged pulling a body out of the shallow water, and to his great pain he recognised it as that of his companion. The body was conveyed by the volunteers oa their stretcher to the mortuary. Mr Ellison communi. eated with the friends of the deceased, and his father, who lives at Southport, left for Towyn on Friday night in company with his daughter. An inquest was held on Saturday afternoon by R. O. Jones, Esq., Festiniog, deputy coroner, and a jury consisting of Mr J. Maethlon James, fore- man, the Rev Humphrey Williams, the Rev R. W. Jones, the Rev J. Pickering, the Rev J. Griffith, Messrs J. Whittaker, Hugh Evans, Morris Jones, D. C. Jones, W. O. Ellis. J. E.
