The inspector's awards for root crops and grass seed prizes, in connection with the Denbighshire and Flintshire Agricultural Society, has been made public, and will be found in our columns. Great interest was taken in the marriage of Miss EDITH MCXENZIE Low, (daughter of W. Low, Esq., Roseneath, Wrexham), to T. ANEURYN REES, Esq., of Tonn, Llandovery, on Wednesday last. The VICAR of Wrexham officiated and the service was choral. The whole ceremony passed off most successfully. A meeting of the Wrexham Town Council was held on Tuesday last. The most important part of the business transacted was the resolution to purchase Fll -kSEII.'S patent disinfecting apparatus. A meeting of the Wrexham District Highway Board was held on Tuesday last, when the Board had under consideration several matters of im- portance to highways. Z, Dr. ArHEY, Local Government Inspector, visited Wrexham on Thursday, to investigate the cause of the continued prevalence of fever, &c., in the town. At the conference with the MAYOR the DOCTOR expressed himself satisfied with the efforts being made by the Sanitary Authority. The adjourned meeting of the Vale of Clwyd Chamber of Agriculture was held on Wednesday, when Captain PENNANT was elected to represent the Chamber at the Central Chamber in London, to which the local chamber has recently been affiliated. The discussion upon the depression in agriculture, which was brought before the Chamber by Mr. ROBERTS' paper, was resumed, and an interesting debate followed. The Vale of Clwyd Church Association held a meeting on Friday week, which was numerously attended. The Rev. D. EVAXS introduced for discussion the treatment of the parish of Abergele by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, with the result that a committee was appointed to draw up a memorial to the Commissioners upon the subject. The parishioners of Gwersyllt held a meeting on Monday to discuss the mode to be adopted to provide additional accommodation for the burial of the dead. After the question had been dis- cussed, the further consideration was adjourned to January next.
_----MR. GLADSTONE ON THE…
MR. GLADSTONE ON THE WAR PATH. We arc now in the midst of that great electoral campaign of Mr. GLADSTONE in Scotland, of which we have heard so much, and to which, to the Liberals, such great things are expected. We trust that they will not be disappointed. So far the country has not been disturbed by the terrible indictment Mr. GLADSTONE has made against the Government. In Scotland some ex- citement has been worked up a natural sequence to the complete arrangement which has occupied the attention of the Liberal party for the last few weeks, and in the arrangement of which this result was one of the primary objects aimed at. In other parts of the country the EX-PREMIER'S wordy platitudes have fallen flat and heavy. At the so-called first address he opened his case, laying down the tremendous indictment he pro- poses trying to maintain. Throughout that lengthy speech, however, no serious attempt was made to establish it, but as the campaign was to occupy a fortnight he has plenty 01 time yet to endeavour to prove it. The speech on Tuesday was rather an elaborate attack upon the Liberal party itself for its supine acquiescence in the Eastern policy of the Government. He read them a lecture which, we should think, would hardly tend, to bring that party into one common body, working harmoniously together, if they had the chance, for the country's good. We all know that a house divided against itself cannot stand, and the Liberal party is divided as much as it is possible to be, nor will Mr. GLADSTONE'S speech tend to lesson that division. Throwing over his condemnation of the Govern- ment, without having sustained any part of the indictment, Mr. GLADSTONE has given us an alternative policy-a policy which, had he had the reins of Government in hand, he would have lent his power to carry out. He would have coerced the Turks to carry out reforms. He would have proposed to Parliament, and the j country, that the Russians should be invited to be ready to cross the Danube for the purpose of co-operating with a corps of British troops against Constantinople. Thus the expenses which the present Government undertook to save > Europe from a European war would have been necessary, and the result, there can be no doubt about it, would have been that Europe would have been devastated with such a general warp from which it wauld have been now suffering and the result of which it would be very cliiiicult to contemplate. This, however; -terppiiy saved by the cool courage and determined atti- tude of the English Government. Instead of Turkey being coerced, Russia was then coerced, and the greatest difficulty successfully grappled with. England has now time to surpervise those reforms in Turkey under more auspicious circum- stances, and with prospects of greater success, than with Russia armed to the teeth at the North and England arrayed the same in the South. Some good has resulted so far from Mr. GLADSTONE'S campaign. We have his alternative policy; and we think the general opinion will be that it is a poor one and impracticable if England is to work unfettered in her,. great mission of civilization.
CHURCH WORK IN ABERGELE.
CHURCH WORK IN ABERGELE. The Rev. D. EVANS (vicar of Abergele), at the half-yearly meeting of the Church Association for the Vale of Clwyd, made out a strong claim for support for his parish from that important and all omnipotent body the Ecclesiastical Com- missioners. Telling his tale without exaggera- tion, simply stating the bare facts of the case, it alone carried weight to its hearers, and the result was that an influential committee was appointed to co-operate together and see if re- dress could not be obtained. We trust, for the interests of the Church in that important parish, that it will be, for we think, and those present at the meeting thought also, the VICAR had not shirked his duty, nor left undone things which ought to be done in that spiritual sphere to which it has been pleased that he should be called. Nor is this an exceptional instance, for go where one may, this desire to assist in pro- moting GOD'S blessed work. and to fulfill to the best of their ability those duties which are in- cumbent upon clergymen, are conspicuously apparent. We rejoice that it is so. So long as it continues, those who desire to pull down or abase our beloved Church will work in vain, lavish as they arc in their expenditure of money. The parish of Abergele, as the VICAR pointed out, is an extensive one, and also an im- portant one. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners receive a considerable sum therefrom, not a farthing of which it returns to assist the VICAR who, it is obvious, is handicapped to a great degree. Like most of the Welsh parishes, two languages are in daily use by the parishioners, and this alone naturally makes clerical work more difficult. The Rev. R. EVAxs, however, has not allowed this to hamper him in his work, but has grappled. with it, and has succeeded, so far as his limited income will allow, in carrying on the work of the Church successfully in the two languages. As has been clearly pointed out of late, had this been done years since, had the requirements of the worshippers in Welsh been looked after as well as the worshippers in Eng- lish, Dissent would not have got such a hold upon the Welsh people, as it undoubtedly has at present. Those clergymen, therefore, who have the difficulty of two languages to work against (and it is a difficulty) are entitled to receive sup- port, and to where can we better look than to the fountain head, to those Commissioners who have the management of the Church's revenues r
_h____----__-------STRANGE…
_h_ STRANGE INCONSISTENCY OF WELSH LIBERALS. The arrangements for the coming great electoral fight arc nearly completed, so far as the selection of candidates is concerned. All over the country they are pretty plentiful, and at the majority of places the constituents are to have the choice of returning their old love, or discarding him for a new one. In this matter Wales is not behind hand,. contests being likely to occur in many of the constituencies. Hardly a week goes by but what we have some preliminary skirmish, or talkod-of change in the representation. This feeling to be doing something, or to make-believe they were doing something, now prevails amongst the Liberal electors for Merionethshire. It does so to such an extent as to induce them to act in an extraordinary indiscreet manner. We often hear of the old axiom of putting the cart before the horse, and the Liberals of this county, in their blind fervour for their representative, have but given another exemplification of it. They last week held a meeting at Dolgelly, at which a vote of confidence was passed to Mr. HOLLAOD, the member. This is all very well. and is not to be surprised at among Liberals, but the strangest part of all is, that the next resolution calls upon Mr. HOLLAND to attend a meeting at the same place and explain to the electors his political views. All know that the Liberal body is not the most unanimous of parties. They have an aptitude for disagreeing among them- selves, and what one section thinks is for the good of the country, another is diametrically opposed to it. The party is made up of incon- sistencies, and the Liberals of Merionethshire are no exception. Mr. HOLLAND, however, is to address them, and say what he may, take what course he likes, they can hardly object to It, for have they not already passed a vote of confidence in him ? They have evidently been too hasty. They should have had the address first, and passed the vote afterwards. They have, how- ever, preferred to reverse things, and the result is they have placed themselves in rather an awkward position: they must accept in toto whatever Mr. HOLLAND likes to say, endorse whatever views he may express, or confess they have been very foolish in passing a resolution before they were in a position to do so, and one in which some of them object.

It was also decided to open all I the meetings, held in connection with the associa- tion. to all young men in the town, and to request employers of labour to bring the interest of the associu'-on before their employes. Able 1 addresses were delivered by the Rev. J. Howell, E. Jerman, th ex--Mayor (r. Shone, Esq.), Mr. Ault, > tie secretary, and o':hers.

Several well- known professional and anateur instrumentalists and vocalists will take part. WE understand that Mr. John Bright, M. P., has been on a visit to T. Barne?, Esq., the Qainta, Chirk, and on Tuesday Mr. Charles Hughes (chair- man of the Wrexham Liberal Association), and other leading politicians of the town and neighbour- hood, dined with the right hon. gentleman. We lu pe that communion with so great a man will encourage the Liberal party in Wrexham. THE FREE MASONS OF NORTH WALES AND THE RESTORATION OF BINGOR CATHEDRAL—The move- ment originated by the St. David's Ladge, of whi; h Bro. W. Jarvis is W.M., for the erection of a bishop's throne in connection with the restoration of Bangor Cathedral, is being warmly taken np, the R W.P.G.M. (Sir W. W. Wynn, Bart., having cordially promised his support to the pro- posal. The local Lodge of St. David has voted ten guineas from its funds, and further promises from members in excess of 50 guineas have already come, to hand. It is to be hoped that the province of North Wales and Shropshire will generally support this truly MNsonic undertaking, and unite with the local lodges to supply a need which has been greatly felt in the restoration of Bangor Cathedral. WREXHAM BOARD OF GUARDIANS—W-ekly meet- ing, Thursday afternoon. Present: Citpt. Gr:ffi;h- Boscawen (chairman), and Mr. A. Wilson Edwards and Mr. S. T. i3au,ii (vice-chairmen), and Messrs;.

THE VISIT OF DR. AIRT.—Dr. Airy, the Medical Inspector or the Local Government Board, visited Wrexham on Thursday last, by order of the Board above, to inquire into the continued prevalence of diphtheria and fever. The doctor, accompanied by Mr. Murray Browne (Government Inspector), held a conference with the Mayor in the Town Cierk's office, at which there were ais;) pvc-sont— Mr. Councillor Samuel and Mr. Councillor Ediabury, the Medical Officer of Health (Mr. LI. Williaxas), ,)ud the Inspector of Nuisances (Mr. David. Higgins). The consultation lasted a considerable time. Dr. Airy expressed himstlf in favour of Vae purchase of a disinfecting apparatus, and sug- gested that care should be taken to carry out isola- tion wherever such was practicable. The measures taken by the medical officer and the inspector of nuisances were approved by the doctor, and a sug- gestion by the Town Clerk, that the fever wards of the Infirmary be engaged by the Sanitary Authority (instead.of paying for eacii individual case sent there), was also acquiesced in. Several other suggestions were received and made by Dr. Any, ana on the whole he expressed himself satisfied with the steps being taken by the Authority to stamp out the diseases. H* was, however, of opinion that the Sanitary Authority had not taken the matter up quite soon enough, thus allowing- it to grow to a head before they had applied vigorous measures. The Town Clerk pIr. T. Bavv) will submit to the next meeting of the Sanitary Authority a full report of the conference. FREE LIBRARY'S COMMITTEE.—A meeting of this committee was held on Monday afternoon, in the Guildhall, for the purpose of electing a custodian and librarian. There were present—The Mayor, in the chair; Revs. Cmon Hilton, Jonathan Howell, Lloyd Williams, M. Hamer, J. Jenkins, H. J Hafifer, J. M. Bamford, Sir R. A. Cunliffe, Bart., Messrs. S. T. Baugh, Howel Davies, C. Huxley, J. F. Edis bury, W. Sherratt, A. W. Edwards, Charles Hughes, T. Bury, Walter Jones, William Pritchard, T. H. Coleman, Simon J ones, T. Goodier, Frederick Jones, and J. Williams. The Hon. Secretary (Mr. Bradiey) said the first business was the election of a librarian. Mr. Howel Davies thought the advertisement was not explicit enough as to the duties of the cus- todian. He proposed that the duties should consist in opening the room. seeing to the lighting, firing, washing and dusting, and the geuerai cleaning, in addition to the charge of books and to see thai the rules were crnied our. Mr. Baagh seconded the proposition. Mr. T. Bury thought that the word custodian would not admit of any other explanation 'ban the one generally assigned to it—namely, a keeper or guardian. He did not think that a custodian would sweep the 100m or do menial work of that kind. Mr. Edisbury proposed that ^12 b added to the s-dary of the librarian as cleaning money. Mr. Waiter Jones seconded it. It «as then arranged that the list of applicants be read. The eierk did so, the number b, 31. Most of them were local. Mr. Edisbury proposed, and 1L.. Howel Davies seconded, that Mr. Richard Gouh, of Oilii Terrace, be appointed. Messrs. Baugh, Hauler, Haffer, and Frederick Jones supported the proposition. Mr. John Williams and Mr. Col-man seconded the appointment of Mr. Jams- F. On voting Mr. Gough had 17 vote?, and Mr. Kelly two, Mr. Gough was therefore elected. The motions defining the duties of custodian were then put, and. on Mr. Bury proposing' that X5 for cleaning be a ided to the salary, and that the duties defiued by Mr. Davies be adopted, the motion was carried. It was agreed to advertise the lists of donations in the iooai papers. GENERAL PURPOSES COMMITTEE.— A special meeting of the General Purposes Committee f the Toivn Council was held in the Guildhall, on Friday Weck to hear areport as ot the efficacy or otherwise of Messrs. Fraser Brothers' patent disinfecting apparatus at work in Southport, with the view cf procuring an apparatus for use in Wrexham.—Mr. Higgina, who, in compliance with his instructions, had visited Southpoit sime the last meeting, presented areport on the subject, adding that Dr. Vernon, the Southport medical officer of health, had informed him that the fixed or stationary apparatus at work in that town was in all respects satisfactory. He strongly advised the purchase of a stationary, and not a portable, apparatus, the objection against the latter being very strong for obvious reasons, inasmuch as no one would like to see the machine operating in the public street, opposite any parti- cular house where the the clothing might require disinfecting.—Mr. LI. Williams, medical officer, strongly advocated the Fraser apparatus, in reter erce to which Mr. J. F. Edisbury quoted the opinion of Dr. Carpenter, a hig-h authority upon the suojeet, who spoke in high terms of the apparatus in question.—Some discussion as to a suitable site and the cost of the apparatus then ensued, the cost being considered excessive by Mr. Richard Jones and Mr. W. E. Samuel, the latter remarking that Wrexham was a small town compared to other towns where these machines were in operation, such as Southport, where the drainage was so defective as to require such an apparatus. —Mr. Edisbury moved, and Mr. J. Oswell Bury seconded, that a Fraser's apparatus be purchased.— R. Jones moved, and Mr. Rowland seconded, that thr; matter be deferred to the next meeting of the General Purposes Cooimittee, and that the Town Clerk endeavour to obtain more information on the subject.—In reply to Mr. Osweil Bury, the Medical Officer said there was an immediate necessity fcr the apparatus, inasmuch as there was at the present moment an epidemic of scarlet fever in the town.—Mr. Oswell Bury said after that state- ment. he did not see how any one member of that :s n;itary Authority could conscientiously vote agiiicsr, the original motion, and be thought, in the face of the testimony of their medical officer and inspector of nuisances, they should not lie doing their duty to the ratepayers by del a via for one moment the purchase of the ni.iciuae.—The votes wore then taken, the numbers on a division being:- For the amendment—Alderman Beale, Councillors R. Jon.es, C. Huxley, F. Jones, T. Rowland, and W. E. Samuel; for the motion-The Mayor, Councillors J. Oswell Bury, J. F. Edisbury, Walter Jones, John Williams, and G. Bradley. The Chair man gave his vote in favour of the original motion. WBXXHAX HARE AND HOUNDS CLUB. On Saturday the club opened the season.

The following summary of her Majesty's Inspector's report has been received:—" On the whole the needlework done in my presence was of a favourable | character: some of it was good. I should recom- mend more practice in knitting and cutting out. It wouict be advisable fcr the mistress to hold an examination in this work about every two months; on such occasions perfect stillness should prevail throughout, fhe sehoo'; there is no necessity during a needlework leason for any noise of any nature. The grammar of the second standard was good, of the third and fifth standard very good, of the sixth standard fair the fourth sta*dard should parse more fully. In th" standard work the reading was distinct and intelligible. The writing was round and very legible; and the spelling upon the whole was good. As regards the arithmetic, that of the fifth standard was good, of the other standards fair. Both tone and order during the examination of standard .-mi-j^cts were equally good. Manners most praiseworthy. The infanis of the first class did very wvil indeed, as a rule; those of the second. class were about good in reading, form and colour, and intelligence their writing and arithmetic were both fair. The singing was good. Vouchers sbouid be numbered." Miss Ridgwav has received her parch tuenc certifies e, which contains the following entry: — '• Miss Ridgway is a very promising teacher. The infauts under charge give evidence of kind and careful attention." A child's honour certificate has b-en gained by Eliz-berh Wright, Erddig-roal. This is highly creditable to the child and the parents, showing, as it does, that the child has attended school 350 times for three successive years, and h >a passed the fourth standard. The scholar was examined at the age of ten years. MEETING IN STANSTY.—A vestry meeting was held in the Board School, on Tuesday evening, to take into eoasideration the decision of the Rural Sanitary Authority in regard to the last scheme for dealing with the sewage en the pneumatic principle, patented by M.r. Shone. Mr. Evan Morris was unanimously voted to the chair, and in opening the meeting he said iti <o, a3 he was not aware of the object of tb; vestry, il, would call uoon those who convened it to state the business. Mr. Dutton, cne of the overseers, then stated the object of the meet- iug, and remarked Uiat all the ratepayers whom he had consulted on the matter were strongly opposed to the action of the Authority with regard to the pneumatic syr-tem. Mr. Wallis and Mr. Richard, Jones also addressed the meeting, both being op- posed to the new scheme. Mr. Thomas (repre- sentative of Stansty at the Sanitary Authority), who seconded the motion at the recent Board meeting as'ung the Local Government Board to seri(I down a commissioner to investigate the scheme, -I that he hod not, by that action, com- mitted himself to the scheme, but he thought if it was better than any o!,her it ought to be tried. The Chairman, in the course of a lengthy speech, called the attention of the vestry to the fact that the rates in Siausty had increased 100 per cent. cince be had resided in the township, which was not more than six years. They must also consider that the rateable value of property in. the township, owing to the opening of mines and extension of building, had considerably increased, which should have tended to decrease the per centage of the rates. When the ratepayers remembered that the rates were 3s. 41. in the pound they would see that it was really time for them to take an interest in their affairs. ^(Hear, hear). Mr. Morris then spoke of tho sewerage question, and called the attention of the meting to the facts stated by Mr. Shone in his pavaphle' which showed that thfr first step in the matter of sewerage was taken in January, 1874. The Chairman then traced the history cf the sewerage question up to the last scheme submitted by Mr. Shone, and concluded by saying that it. did seem to (dm to be b-yond comprehension that the drainage of a small parish like Siansty should be i.r:fl -.i with for five years, and that each successive plan which had been submitted should be thrown ;,sid: as soon as it was approved and paid for. He thought if a. Commi- sioner came down at all he should enquire into the bed scheme and not into the latest submitted by Mr. Shone, to which the (,,f Stansty were wholly opposed. On tee uo-ioa of Mr. Dutton, seconded by Mr. Humphreys, it was resolved to ask the RVUP.1 Authority to carry out the scheme which will con- nect Rho.td'du, the Chester-road sewers, and if the negociatioas with the Town Council fail that they out the scheme of Messrs. Shone and B4, having a4 outfall at A second r-'s.iluiion appointed a committee—consisting of Messr- Evau Morris, Datton, Hey ward, Waliis, Thomas and B.xt—to wait upon the authority iu regard to the last scheme submitted by Mr. Shone. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded tbe nice' inj.
--WREXHAM COUNTY COURT.
WREXHAM COUNTY COURT. WEDNESDAY.—Before H. Lloyd, Eaq. CLAIM FOR FIXTUBM. TF. Parry v. W. Garratt-Jones.—Plaintiff, an auc- tioneer, of Denbigh, sued defendant., a bookseller and stationer, of Church-street, for £9 lls. 4d., the value of some fixtures. Mr. W. J. Stewart, barrister, of Liver- pool, instructed by Mr. Knowles, of the same town, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Ashtoa Bradley ap- peared for defendant. 1 Mr. Stewart said the plaintiff in 1878 carried on business in Wrexham as a draper, and gave up his business in the same year. Several persons applied for the shop, -amongst them Mr. Garratt-Jones, who appeared very anxious to have the premises. After a little talk, defendant and his client seemed to come to some agreement as to the fixtures. They were valued at £ 30. Mr. Garratt-Jones wanted a fresh valuation, and the result was that Mr. Benjamin Owen valued articles to the amount of £ 9 11a. 4d. Mr. Garratt- Jone9 objected to pay the amount, and consequently that action was brought. Mr. Parry then gave a list of articles belonging to him which had been valued. Mr. Bradley, for the defence, said that Mr. Garratt- Jones never agreed to take the whole of the fixtures, and several articles had been removed by the agent Mr. Richard Jones. There was also a sounter claim for three months' rent, at £3 5s. 4d. per month. Mr. Garratt-Jones and Mr. Richard Jones having been examined, his Honour gave judgment for the plaintiff, because he thought, from letters whieh were read, some agreement had been come to between plain- tiff and defendant, and allowed one month's lent as counterclaim. Costs to follow judgment. SUPPOSED PERJUBT. Hall-am v. Jones.-This was a case which sanie on for hearing at the last court, but was adjouraed by his Honor for investigation.

---------------MONTHLY MEETING…
MONTHLY MEETING OF THE CALVANISTIC METHODISTS. The monthly presbytery for this district was held at Zion Chapel, Regent-street, Wrexham, on Monday and Tuesday last. It being a quarterly meeting, and the last of the current year, the number of delegates was very large—over 130. Monday morning, at eleven a.m.i the sittings commenced. The Committee of Finance sat to receive applications for grants, &e. and the Building Committee to pass plans and specifications of new chapels, &c. At the same time, in the chapel, a report was given to a general meeting of the state of the cause at Wrexham and Rhosddu. From this we gather, that although in these churches, members are less than in former years, owing to the depression in trad", they may "thank God and take courage." Every effort is made to render all the branches of Christian work as efficient as possible. Very pleasing results have followed from the united services held by the four Welsh denomina- tions in town. The church at Zion alone had about 18 added to its members, and the other three were similarly blessed. The work at Rhosddu is making good pro- gress, and it was decided by them to apply to the monthly meeting for permission to constitute a separate church, which application was cordially supported by the mother church at Zion. The remainder of the morning was devoted to addresses and conversation on a given subject—" Religious Liberality." Excellent addresses and very pertinent and practical remarks were made. The afternoon meeting was entirely a business meeting. The Rev. R. Edwards (Iold) and another gentleman were appointed to constitute a new chu-eh at Rhosddu, and to take the voice of the church in its election of officers. Public services were held on Monday evening at 6.30 and on Tuesday at 10,12 and 6.30, when the Revs. Roger Edwards, Mold Joseph Thomas, Carno Evan Jones, Bodfari; W. Pierce, Mold J. Pugh, B.A., Holywell; and John Jones, Rhos preached. Tue Pev. T. Pryce Davies, M.A., Chester, preached in Hill-stroet, on Monday at 7.30 Tuesday morning at 8 a.m. a general church meeting was held open to members of all churches, when excellent addresses were delivered by the above mentioned gentle- men and others. The district of the monthly meeting comprise" 37 ministers, 20 preachers, 88 churches. 97 chapels and schoolrooms, 301 deacons, 6,738 full members, 455 probationers, 4.223 children in church membership, 1,621 Sunday School teachers, 13,326 Sunday School scholars, and 18,257 hearers. The liberality shown by the voluntary support of re- ligion is as follows :—Pew rents, £ 1,250 towards ministry, £ 3,404 poor &c., £ 250 chapel debt, preaching and special services, £ 353: home mission, £ 61; foreign mission, £ 101; county missions, £ 53; English causes, £ 23; undenominational education, kl34, other causes, £1,118: making a total of £ 9.d3J for this district alone, during such a depression in the coal and iron trade upon which it so much depends.
-----____-----! WREXHAM TOWN…
WREXHAM TOWN COUNCIL. A monthly meeting of the Wrexham Council was held in the Council Chamber on Tuesday last. The Mayor (Alderman Smith) presided, and there wer-u also present—Alderman Beale, Alderman J. C. Owen, Councillors J. F. Edisbury. W. E. Samuel, G. Bradley, W. Sherratt, Walter Jones. J. Oswell Bury, John Williams, Thomas Rowland, R. Jones, C. Huxley Mr. Thomas Bury, town clerk Mr. W. M. Smith, borough surveyor and Mr. Higgins inspector. THE OOAL BNLL NrrSAVCK. During the reading of the minutes, Mr. W ALTD JONES asked whetner anything had been done in regard to the nuisance caused by the ringing of the coal bella in the street, and said he had referred Mr. James to a case in London cited in the Justice of the Peace, and which Mr. James had considered was applicable te Wrexham. The TOWN CLERK replied that he feared the Metropolis had advantages as regarded minor nuisances which provincial towns like Wrexham did not possess, and he thought it would be advisable for the Co mi oil t* pass a special bye-law to protect themselves against the nuisance complained of. THE DISINFECTING APPARATUS. The To CLERK having read the minutes of a special meeting of the General Purposes Committee, at which it was resolved to purchase a patent disinfecting apparatus for the use of the borough, Mr. RICHARD JONES moved that that portion of the minutes respecting the disinfecting apparatus bo otruck out, and proposed instead that a committee, consisting of the Mayor, Zvlr. Samuel, Mr. Huxley, and the Sur- veyor and Inspector of Nuisances, be appointed to go te the borough yard and report upon whether the room there is suitable for the purpose. The MAYOR said he had just hod put iu his hr,-id a letter which would probabiy show the importance Of. something being done in this matter. It was a note from Dr. Airy, who had visited the town some time ago, and who now stated that he had received instrue- tioiis from the Local Government Board to vi-it Wrex- ham on the following Thursday to make inquiries as te the continued prevalence 00 scarlet fever and diphtheria in Wrexham, and to consider what steps could be tukem to arrest the progress of these infectious diseases, Alderman BEALE was of opinion that they should ap- point a committee of gentlemen competent to judge whether the present apparatus is surncieut with a little alteration. He thought the apparatus recommended would be a very expensive apparatus, and he knew several towns more important than this where thev had no such machine. He seconded Mr. Richard Jonerf motion. After further discussion Mr. Jones's moti '.n pat and lost—those voting for it being Messrs. R. Jones, J. Beale, T. Rowland, and C. Huxley-and the minutes were therefore: cottfc-med.

The SURVEYOR laid a plan before the meeting for the re-arrangement of the Council Chamber, and the Cleak also made several suggestions with regard to the matt Eventually, it was resoived that the Coanoiliow occupy the seats according to seniority as arranged that day, and that the Town Clerk take his seat opposite the Mayor. A ,-crcui was ordered to be pure;awed te divert the draft of the door. THE NEW FOOTPATHS. > Mr. SHERRATT said he thought the question of t.endew < for the supply of materials for paving, &c., should be referred to a cominiitee of practical men, and he tag. jested that Messrs. Samuel and Huxley, Waiter Oonefc, T. Kowlana, and R. Jones be a committee to consider the matter of tenders, and also to superintend the wak in conjuncti m with the Surveyor. Mr. RICHARD JONES advocated that the work should be done by centract. fj The a £ ATOS moved that Mr. Brade-r, Mr. J. Williams, Mr. Samuels, Mr. Huxley, and Beale be a cemmittee to select tenuers and supervise the work with the Surveyor. Alderman Owim seconded. Mr. RICHARD JONES again advocated letting the wodk to contractors. He thought it would be very ^eriow >; for them to employ n*en "on day work to do j labour in ihe dead of winter, lie moved that thtf advertise for teadw. Mr. HUXLBT said he had seen the work going on, i, he thought they would make a reac mistake if they let the work to a contractor. He belie Toi c:_u mea were doing their work well, and also doing their duty. Mr. SJJCVIK* said he thought; it would be to see first at what eont they could do the work tneaisoivee. Mr. Bradley* said he knew that everything wiiiah had been d> w by contract in Wrexham street" durir* the last seven years hod Iwen scamped abu-uaabiy.
