ST. DOGMELL'S I CHILD KILLED.—On Thursday a very sad accident befel the eldest son of the Rev D. Morgans Cal- vinistic Methodist minister, of St. Dogmell's. The child, who was only four and a half years of age, was playing on the bridge near his home and a loaded mill cart with a team of horses was stand- ing close by. Owing to some cause, the leading horse swerved round, causing the shaft horse to back the cart up against the parapet of the bridge at the spot where the child stood. The result was that the tail part crushed the child's head against the parapet, causing instant death. The child's father is from home on a preaching tour. Great sympathy is felt with the parents, who are much respected, in their sad bereavement.

Society and amounted to £ 15. WEATIIER.—During the last week the weather has been for the most part exceedingly hot and oppressive, although a strong gale from the east prevailed here for several days. On Saturday night there was a grand display of sheet lightning and on Monday afternoon the heat culminated in a heavy thunderstorm which cleared the air and made the weather cool and refreshing. During the easterly gale, boating was at a standstill. RESCCTE AT SEA. -On Thursday week, the fishing boat" Dtwdrop" of this port, when returning home from fishing near the Patches in Cardigan Bay, picked up a small open boat with three young boys who had drifted some miles out to sea from Borth. The boat was made fast to the Dew- drop" and towed to opposite Borth, where the young mariners were landed in safety. The "Dew- drop was manned by Messrs D.

They were returning to Aber- dovey and Mr H. Owen, fruiterer, was returning to Towyn with his pony and cart when through some misunderstanding they collided and both bicyclists were thrown to the ground. The gentleman escaped unhurt, but the lady was found to be unconscious and was carried in that state to Bank House and lattended to by Dr Bonner. Fortunately when she recovered consciousness, she was found to have escaped with only a severe shock, the effects of which passed away in a few days under the care of the medical attendant.

LAMPETEK. A FIRE ALARII. -Late on Friday night some per- sons noticed flames in a bedroom window of a house in College-street and on rushing in found the window blinds on fire. There were two children sleeping in the room and had the fire been allowed time to spread they would assuredly have suffered. HOLIDAY-MAKING-—A large number of residents are spending their holidays at the seaside and else- where and the town is unusually quiet. On Wed- nesday, the Unitarians had their annual outing, go- ing by excursion train to Aberystwyth. They were joined by others and altogether some hun- dreds left by the train. The same day, the Cycling Club had a run to Aberayron where there were cycling sports. S.D.C.

REMOVED AT LAST.—On Thursday morning the urinal of great renown which has enjoyed uninter- rupted repose for a good number of years by the side of the Fountain on Harford-square was re- moved by the Surveyor and his men. The article in question has been the pet subject for discussion at the Town Council for years. An agitation for its removal was commenced by the inhabitants of the Square some seven or eight years ago, and since that time reputation, have been lost ;and won and many a close friendship cut short over the little iron structure. In spite of all efforts to remove it, it remained. Town Council members might come and go," but it seemed as if the urinal would "go on for ever.'J Six months ago, however, the Council resolved, by a narrow majority that it should go and it seemed that the death-knell of the Lampeter affaire had been sounded. Not so. A shrewd member proposed that the work of removal should be referred to the Streets Com- mittee. This was agreed to, and as it happened that the majo ity of the members were against the resolution, the urinal remained and continued to remain until at 'the last Council, on the proposition of Councillor Evan Davies, the Surveyor was unanimously directed to carry out the resolution, all the members opposing the shifting of the structure being absent. The work was performed early the next day, being witnessed by a few persons who had assembled. The square, though not as imposing as a certain square whereon stands the statue of Lord Nalson, now certainly looks clean and respectable. A riot was threatened on Thursday night and one person showed his contempt for the municipal authorities in an unmistakable manner, but no disturbances have since been reported.

BOKTH. WEATHER.—The weather here for the past month or so has been very favourable to holiday makers. Unfortunately, however, for the bank holiday folks, Monday afternoon was showery. The showers were much needed in the country. DEATH.—The death took place last week of Miss Jane Rees, daughter of Captain and Mrs Rees, 1, New-street, after a long illness extending over three years. The funeral took place at Penygarn Cemetery, when the Rev J. C. Evans officiated. Much sympathy is felt with the parents in the loss of their only daughter. CONCERT.—On Wednesday night a concert in aid of the Borth sea defence fund was given in the As- sembly Rooms under the presidency of Captain Osborne, R.N. In his opening address, the Chair- man gave an interesting account of the diffictiltieF3 the Defence Committee had to overcome. The Committee were very fortunate in the choice of their chairman, as he evidently was a man who understood what to say and he said it also in the best possible way. The programme was not a lengthy one, but an exceptionally good one. The following especially are worthy of special ment'on, viz—Miss Le Neine Smith, Mr Morley, Miss Effie Davies, and Dr Best, all of London. Mr J. C. Gittings and party of Newtown proved a most at- tractive and. efficient orchestra as usual. Two most amusing farces given by Miss Averill Towpr and Humphrey Feilden and Miss Iris Tower and Oswald Feilden added much to the success of the entertainment. The entertainment was well patronized.

PENSaRN CONTRACTS.—Mr Robert Richards, of Pensarn, has secured all the contracts for each battalion of the Volunteers in camp at Towyn for the supply of coal, firewocd, bricks, and lime. It is said that all the contracts have never been given to one dealer before.

LONDON. SCHOLA>TIC.—Master Thomas Peter Edwards, the second son of the Rev Llewelyn Edwards) M.A. of Clapham Junction, has won the form prize in a class of thirty-fine boys. We find that this excellent school has over 700 boys.

CARDIGAN. DEATH FROM SU-NSTROKE.-At Cardigan on Thursday afternoon a man named David Phillips was reaping wheat at Pengraig, about a mile and a half from the town when he suddenly complained of being unwell and went into the house, where he was advised to go home. His reply was Home, home," and these were the last words he spoke. He was at once conveyed to Cardigan and died in about half an hour.

WELSH DAIRYING.—The Carmarthenshire Cham ber of Agriculture at its meeting on Tuesday favoured starting creameries in districts and sup- porting the proposed butter factory at Llandilo. Mr Alderman J. F. Roberts, a former lord mayor of Manchester pnd one of the oldest mem- bers of the City Council- being the sixth in point of seniority—has returned from his tour round the world.

LLANILAR. THE CH!URCfl .-There was a large congregation at the Church last Sunday, the only place of wor- ship in the parish where there are ministrations in the English language. Mr Loxdale took his place at the head of the choir and Miss Alice Hughes, Cwrtycadno, and Mr Edward Hughes, Falcon Hotel, presided at the harmonium. SOCIAL, GATHERING.—A successful social gather- ing took place at Castle Hill on Thursday after- noon of last week in fine weather. The tables were laid under the trees in the drive and Mr and Mrs Loxdale were present to entertain the guests. At the conclusion of the meal, the Vicar (tlJe Rev Mr Lloyd) proposed and Mr Roberts, Blaengader, seconded a vote of thanks to Mr and Mrs Loxdale for their generosity which Mr Loxdale acknow- ledged in a humorous speech in which he inti- mated similar gatherings ia future. Mr W. S. Hughes and Mr Morgan Davies, the church- wardens, assisted, aod the Rev J. T. Evans, B.A., the cuiate, brought a contingent of guests from Rhostie. Among others present were Dr Hughes, Llanilar, and Mr Lewis Williams, Abermaide. After nightfall the company assembled in the draw- ing room where an entertainment was given by Mr and Madame Jones, Mrs Loxdale, Miss Alice Hughes, Miss Roberts, Blaengader, and others. The company separated after singing the National Anthem and Hen Wlad fy Nha.dau," Mr D. Davies taking the solos.

YSBYTTY YSTWYTH SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION.—The triennial election of this Board took place on August 9th. There were ten candidates nominated for the five seats, 1, Messrs Wm. Davies, Blaencwm, C.M.; 2, Jos. Edwards, Hendre, C.M.; 3, Thomas Hughes, Dol- groes, W.; 4, John Jenkins, Tynewydd, W.; 5, Jones, Rhiwlas, C.M.;6, Rev John Jones, Ysbytty, Ch.: 7, Thomas Lewis, Bwlchgwallter, Ch.; 8, Dr Morgan, Mount Hazel, B. ;9, Capt. Owen.Pontrhyd- ygroes, W.; 10, John Rees. Graigwen, C.M. The first two withdrew, but somehow the withdrawal of Mr Davies did not reach the Returning Officer in time, consequently his name appeared on the list of nominees on the ballot paper. The election throughout was a very tame one, though some of the candidates showed much enthusiasm in order to gain the inner court. The Returning Officer shortly after eight o'clock de- clared the result :-Dr Morgan, 197 votes Messrs John Jones, 127; T. Lewis, 95 J. Rees, 94 T. Hughes, SS Captain Owen, 62 Mr J. Jenkins, 44 Rev J. Jones, 33. The Rev J. Jones and Captain Owen took no interest at all in the election. The latter gentleman, though an elector, did not take the trouble to appear and recoid his vote and no canvassing was done on behalf of either. The following is an analysis of the voters and voting ,— Dr Morgan, voters, 89 votes, 197 plumpers, 5. J. Jones, 65 127 3. T. Lewis, 40; 95 6. J. Rees, 52 94 5. T. Hughes, 37 S8 7.
