PENB^ACKNO. At Pcnmachno the Churcnpeople of the dis- trict and other friends assembled together on Wednesday evening to protest against the Edu- cation 33ill. The chair was taken by Mr E. Jones Williams, J.P., of Rhydlanfair, who, in a stirring address, called upon all those who valued justice to come forward and ccinpcl the Government to withdraw the most oppressive bill that has been "presented to Parliament since tho days of Cromwell. Tho special lecturer invited was the well- known Eisteddfodwr, the Rev Thomas Edwards (Gwynedd), rector of Aber, who, in an exhaus- tive and eloquent oration, proved what sacri- fices tho Church had mado in tho past on bo- half of the education of the country, and how this bill interfered with her action in the future by curtailing her liberty to teach the young the pathway of duty; what great injus- tice it did her as to her proprietary rights in Uio schools; what revolutionary proposals it contained as to dealing w.h trust property; how it jeopardised the continuance of every kind of religious instruction in all elementary schools throughout the country by leaving it open and dependent upon the whims and fancies of local education authorities to give or not to civo according to their pleasure what unheard of privileges the bill was ready to grant to Jews and Roman Catholics which it denied to Churchpcople; and this by thofec who boasted of being the upholders cf religious equality. The address was punctuated with much ap- P Mr°Thomas Hughes, Church View, proposed "That this meeting protests against the present Education Dill because it docs not provide that religious instruction be given in the elementary schools of the country as part of the regular school work, during school hours, anrt bv teach- ers duly qualified to impart it, ana also bcc^c it proposes to treat Wales apart from ana dn.cr- ently to England." This was seconded by Mr Richard Hughes, Glasgwm-road, and supported by tho Rev. JJ- Jones, rector, who dwelt upon the utter lack of security there is in tho bill for any iorm of religious instruction, and strongly protested against a scheme that may allow only parts ot the Bible to be taught to the neglect of the most vital portions of it, and contended ^t^at Biblical instruction should be a reality ana not a. sham. Tho resolution was earned unanimously.

Iv being a supposed exception— the spiritual wealth latent in the heathen world. In reply to a question as to what return had Christendom received for its sending forth such glorious mon as Moffat, Livingstone, the Combers, the Bentleys, Carey, Zdarshman and Ward, together with the glorious band of re- cent martyrs in China, he said t-hat such men had been returned as Austen of Hippo; Jackson, Fuller, Nlemvo, in Africa; Pastor IIsi, 'n China; Ftomanath Hoy, Krishme Pal, and Ra- mr.bai. in India and a multitude of others. The address was a comprehensive and en- couraging view of this great que^iion.

Clerk reported that a meeting of the Rhuddlan and Bodelwyddan overseers had been held for tkrj purpose of settling dis- puted points as to the division of the two parishes under the Local Government Act, it being conteiid-lci by the Rhuddlan over- seers that there were certain portions which did not pay rates to either parish, and that oertain portions suppocc-d to be- kmc to Bod-elwyddan really SeJonged to Rhuddlan. In 1906. it was exulftined the assessment of Rhuddlan was EIO,843, in 1897 it was £ 11,602, and at the present timi3 913,439. After the list of the various properties on the borders of the two parish had been read over. Mr Grimsley explained that the latest Ordnance Survey clearly showed the dividing line, and the acreage of each pro- perty. Under those circumstanoes Mr Conwy Bell had said that it would be easy to define the boundary a.nd that all the Rhuddlan overseers had to do was to get a now map. Mr Conwy Bell explained that the over- seers had already ordered the map. and they would proceed to the reassessment of the disputed properties. He wished to ooin- plirnont Mr Kilner on the excellent record he had made of the meeting—a record which would be most valuable in future. He moved that a vote of thanks be pass !d to the clerk for his excellent minutes. The Vice-Chairman seconded. and said lie oonsidered that the minutes were an ex- cellent record. Th vote was carried unanimously. THE FOOTPATHS ON THE MARSH. A petition was read from residents on the Marsh, asking tha Council to take step9 to have the footpaths to Vice Cottages and the Morfa ma,&a up during the dry weather. It was pointed out that the residents of that portion were large ratepayers and yet the place was in a dangerous condition. Mr Joasph Roberts lIrged that something- should be done immediately as last winter a woman and child were nearly drowned there. A question arose as to who is responsible for making up tho footpaths, and Mr Bell said be knew that his father and the occu- pier of tbe Marsh Hotel had many years ago carted river gravel there. j. Thomas Hughes added that some 50 or 60 years ago the rctad was repaired, but by whom lie could not say. On the motion of Mr Boeen. amended by Mr .Thomas Williams, it wa.s decided to writ's to the owners of adjacent property to repair the footpaths. THE SCHOOL MANAGERS.

Htmdi/jds people trooped to Conway Morfe, stjciKxn' on Sunday, to witness the departure of the Lancashire FngilieiTi after their week's encampment. The duty on Saturday consisted of a time march to Llandudno. One battalion went by tho direct routS up the Tywyn Hill, another remind by Qegaawy and Llanrhos Grange, and the third by another route-. They left camp between 8 and 8.30, and though the distances to be covered varied, tho arrival at Llandudno was quite accurately timed, and the troops concen- trated on the promenade, wheua the bat- talions formed in line, and halted for about a quarter of an hour. Naturally, the town being ,,4311 filled with visitors, the incoming, tha halt, and the outgoing of the soldiers attracted considerable attention, and were witnessed by many hundreds of interested spectators. Camp was reached after the return march about half-past one, the bat- talion which-had taken the shortest route on the outward march coming back by the long- est. Although the sunshine was hot. all ranks bore the ideal of the ten milos tramp in field order admirably, and nobody fell °Ut' MEDAL DISTRIBUTION. Afterwards Colonel Wike, of the Burv Battalion, presented long-service medals to Colour-Sergeants Maloney, Smith, and Hardman. and Sergeant Barlow. In the coursa of some remarks, be complimented the men on their behaviour, and expressed the opinion that this was the pleasanteet camip he had attended during twenty years' ex- perience, and alsp that tlie battalion was in a more efficient state now than it had ever been. Colonel Sir Lees Knowlas. Bart., of the Salfords. was able to give a similar good opinion of his battalion, and Colonel Healey also complimented his own corps. THE BRJGADIER/8 FAREWELL ORDER. These individual good words were gratify. ingly borne out by the following farewell" brigadj order which was issued by Brigadier- General Hill after his inspection of the camp on Saturday night "Owing to the exceptionally fine weather throughout the weetk a gniat deal of ardu- ous work has been undertaken by the bri- gade. The cheerful way in which it has been performed appears an all-sufficient evi- dence that Volunteers are men in every sense of the word, and that they coiro up to camp ready and willing to honestly devote their services to their country's cause, as far as they themselves are able. The brigadier desires to express to all ranks his apprecia- tion of their conduct bath in and out or camp, and to assure the Lancasnire usilier Volunteer Brigade that it lias be-on a g-reat pleasure and satisfaction to him to have had the honour of commanding thesm. Before the battalions left the camp all the fonts were struck, packed, and hancV- in at the Ordnanoe store. The Militia battalions encamped on the Morfca paraded during morning for Divine servioe. A large proportion of the King's Own Royal Lancasfors and tlie 3rd and 4th Battalions of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers at- tended a drumhead service on the parace ground at which the V ioar of Conway offi- ciated and the remainder marched to town for servio9 at the Nonconformist places of worship.

EXCITING ACCIDENT AT COLWYN BAY. TWO NARTROW ESCAPES. A GENTLEMAN'S PLUCKY ACTION On Tuesday afternoon, as the 5.8 train was about) to leave "hù Colwyn Bay station, an acci- dent, which, luckily, was not attended with serious injuries, occurred. Mr A. Davies, Wrexham, was rushing through file gate on to the platform to catch the train, when in ;ome unaccountable manner he collided either dircctly or bumped against another pas- senger, who thai collided with a lady who was passing with her back turned. The ladv over- balanced and fell between two carriages on to tha line. The train was then moving, and Mr Noble, the stationmibter, whistled loudly to stop it. T. Faulkner, a porter at the station, instantly dived into the guard's van and applied the vacuum brake, and tho train was stopped after having travelled the length of a carriage and a half. In tho meantime Mr Davies, seeing the imminent peril of the lady, sprang down on to the line without hesitation, and at the risk of his life. The lady had fallen with one reg over the rail, and this Mr Davies quickly pulled between the rail and the platform. All this time the rescuer was on one knee with his head hanging over the platform, the footboard meanwhile passing over his head. As the train proceeded an axle box caught him on the shoulder, which was bruised, and also tcTO his collar off. There- upon ha dived his head down and kept it there until removed from his perilous position. He clung to the hands and 1 ead of the lady to keep her from moving them on to the line, whilst the boots of the Metropole Hotel lay full length on the platform, with his hands between the plat- form and train, keeping the lady's legs out of the moving wheels' way. Whei tibe train wa3 stopped both the lady and Mr Davies were under the train. Officials were quickly on the spot, and both were speedily re- moved. The lady experienced no bodily in- jury. but she suffered considerably from nervous ibock Mr Davids also c&me out of the ordeal with only the bruise to the shoulder. There is no mistaking the fact that a bad acci- dent was narrowly averted. Th0 carriage were luckily those with ocly one footboard, and this ran about a foot above the platform. If there had been a second, ns is generally tho case, the affair would have resulted at least in serious injuries, if not death. To,) much praise cannot be given to Mr Davies for his plucky action, as had it not been for bis promptitude tho lady would at least havg un- doubtedly lost a leg. Great credit is also due to the hotel "boots." whose ire-nee of mind served so well, whilst the action of T. Faulkner, in jumping inbo the van and the biake, was sm-rt and oommcndably thoughtful. This is not tihe first oocasion on which the latter has been instrumental in saving an accident.
