HINTS AND COMMENTS. A friend stopped me in Hpnblas-street the other day, frri-i poiatioj? to the inscription-stone over the entrant to the New Market, asked me why do the lfr<?"m Market Hall Company spell "pedlere" "pedlars ?" A* I considered it a conundrum I gave it np. What was my surprise, however, to find, on in; paction, that the word has been spelt in the manno stated, the letters being carved on elaborate *tonj"ork. I am a" ked to bring under the notice of "those in over us" in Church matters the dis- grac, f,,l i scene witnessed at the wedding on Wednes- day. T'le behaviour of the crowd that thronged the old rh;ch was a reproach to Wrexham. From the chun,, gates to the church steps was gathered a inort, ir) iecorous mob than has ever been gathered within the nrecincts of St. Giles. Inside the church all r, for the sacred character of the building and service seemed to be lost. In the eagerness to'ob' :in a view of the bridal procession and ceremony aeati mounted, gas brackets were caught hold ■ i', and even the font was secured as a "vantage gronn I am sorry to learn that no exception can be' nrged on the score of respectability, for the deniz-n of Tuttle-street and Pentrefelin were excdU"! by the inhabitants of more aristocratic neighbourhoods. It surely cannot be beyoud the powers of the vicp-r r 3d church war Jens to see that better arrange- ment? are made in the future. Police in a church are certain!y an anomaly, and the fittest comment on the whole proceeding is the necessity for the presence of the ubiquitous Sergeant Jones, cane in hand, to keep the sight-seers in order.

John Evans, of Doddleston, near Chester, a lad, was summoned by Inspector Luekings of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, for cruelty to a pony. The inspector stated that at three o'clock on the ith inst, he was in the horse market and there saw defendant severely beating a puny with the haft of a whip (produced). The blows were laid across the hind quarters and across those parts ran several wales. Witness caiied to him to stop, but for a time he refused and kept flogging the pony. The tather of the boy appeared in the place of his son and said he did not know that he had gone to Wrexham, and was quite ignorant of the offence. Deieiiuaut was fined 2s. 6d. and costs. CRUELTY TO A SHEEP. John Wilson, drover for Mr. Whitehouse, Gresford, was summoned by the same inspector for abusing a sheep. The Inspector said on the same day as the offence in the previous case was committed, he saw the defendant driving four sheep in Chester-road. lie had hold of one of the sheep and was beating it very much with an ash plant he had in his hand. The siieep appeared to be very lame, and as he afterwards saw it all right he con- cluded that the beating had caused the lameness. Defendant was lined 2s. 6d. and costs. ALLEGED THEFT OF A PURSE. Lawrence Glancy, a boy aged about twelve, was in custody charged with being in possession of a purse which did not belong to him and which was believed to be the property of Mrs. M. Jones, Marford. Mrs. Martha Jones, staying at Marford, said she was in Wrexham on Saturday last. She was in Mr. Simon Jones', the confectioner, and there paid a small sum for goods. She went to Mr. Owens, the ironmonger, and L on going to pay a bill there, missed the purse. She enquired for it at the places she had been to, and then gave information to the police. The purse produced was the one she missed. it contained H2 and a half- penny. The purse was in the pocket of her skirt. P.C. Frederick Jones stated he went with P.C. Saunders to Glancy's house. He there saw the prisoner, whom he brought down to the police station. Inspector Lindsay asked where the purse was. Prisoner replied that he had lost it &gain. Witness and P.C. Saunders went to the house again, taking the boy with them. Witness pressed the boy to tell where the purse was, and he said he had dropped it down by his own house. Witness then commenced searching the yard in the company of some lodgers, and the purse was found by one of them. Sergeant Dutton stated when the boy was at the bridewell the boy's mother came to see him, and was determined to make him tell the truth. She asked where he had found the purse and he said, I found it in the shop,- and from there I took it. It was the shop where they sell pork pies and buns. Inspector Lindsay stated that the boy's father and mother were out at the time, and had they been in they would have made the boy tell where the purse was. He produced a certificate from the doctor at the Infirmary to show that the boy was subject to epileptic fits. Prisoner, in answer to the Bench, said "I told a lot of lads, and they went and told the bobby.' The Bench ordered him to receive twelve strokes from a birchrod, to be administered by the strong arm of Sergeant Dutton. DFLUNK, &C. Henry Morris, labourer, in the employ of Mr. Owen, of Aberderwyn, was fined 5s. and costs for being drunk and disorderly on the previous Saturday night. P.O. Fletcher proved the case. QUEER HOURS IN A NEW VAULTS. Charlotte Edwards, Chapel-street, was in custody -charged by Sergeant Jones with the following offence. The Sergeant 6aid at about half-past one o'clock on Sunday morning the prisoner was brought to the Police Station by P.C. McCloud, who said she had been found in company with two young men in the Regent Tavern." The Sergeant thought that as Mr. J. C. Owen had his office in the building she should be locked mp. Defendant: "I was going for the doctor to attend my husband, and when I passed the tavern there were some young men standing on the step, and they asked me in." P.C. McCloud said about one o'clock on Sunday morning he was passing the Regent Tavern, in Hope- atreet, in company with another officer, heard a noise in- side. They knocked at the door, and were in a few minutes admitted. They found two young men, one of them a painter, and on searching the premises found the prisoner concealed behind a door in a back room. There was a bottle on the counter, which had contained beer. The Clerk remarked that it was a very extraordinary thing for those men to be on the premises at that hour on a Sunday morning. I Defendant said her husband was very ill, and she had two children ill of the scarlet fever. The bench dismissed the case. APPLICATION. Mrs. Birch, of the Elephant and Castle, appeared before the Bench, saying she made application to re- cover the dancing room that was taken from her some time ago. She thought they should allow it. She came to claim what she considered to be her right and that of her family. There was to this room a public way from Market-street, and it had no connection with the house. The way which led to the room led to the cottages. She did not think that she would sell one glass of ale extra by the letting of it. The room had been idle for 14 or 15 months, and as her husband left her the property to do the best with it for her children, she thought it was her duty to get the licencse for that room. She had let it to a respectable young man who was going to com- mence a private dancing class. She thought the room was very applicable for the purpose. Alderman Lloyd had seen it, and admired it. As it was, it was a great loss to her, but if it was let, it would be more valuable to her than the cottages. She had been asked if she would not turn it into cottages, but it was of more value to her as it was. The person she had let it to was Mr. Alfred Senior, who was a very respectable young man, and taught dancing very well. She did not think she would gain anything by it through the sale of beer. Mr. J. C. Owen It does not follow that there will be no drink in the room. Mrs. Birch said there would be no drink sold, and all she would gain would be the rental of the room. If any of the magistrates would go and inspect her back premises they would find them in the state she described. It would be an entirely private class. Mr. Bury said if it was to be private there was no need of her applying to the magistrates. Mrs. Birch said she was not aware of that, but in applying did so with an intention of coinciding with the magistrates. Inspector Lindsay said he wished, for the informa- tion of the magistrates, to state that the room in ques- tion was on the licensed premises. Mrs. Birch: You would like to oppose me I Thank you for the very good feeling. You are my friend. (Laughter). Mr. Lindsay said he did not bear any ill-feeling against her, but merely stated the fact to prevent any future trouble. Mrs. Birch: My friend again! The gentleman in blue I The magistrates, finding they had no jurisdiction, in- formed Mrs. Birch, who remarked, Thank you. Good morning," and left the ceurt. THB ATTEMPTHD ISUICMIL Annie Stant was bound over in the sum of £20 to keep the peace towards all her Majesty's subjects, and particularly towards herself. Her father was also bound as surety in aO.

-----THE MARRIAGE OF, MISS…
THE MARRIAGE OF, MISS E. M. LOW. Wrexham was astir on Wednesday morning, as it should have been, for it is rare that a wedding of so grand a character and in connection with the house of one of her leading men, is locally celebrated. The proposed connection of the family of Low with that of Rees has been talked of for some time, and as the date of ceremony approached, the interest became more general and public. On Tuesday it was intensified by the erection of laurel arches in various parts of the town, and it reached its climax on Wednesday morning, when flags and banners were waving in the streets and white-eared horses and rosetted coach- men moved in the direction of Grove Park. Between ten and eleven o'clock on Wednesday morning a number of persons assembled in Church- street and in the vicinity of the old edifice, and having viewed the magnificent arch here erected by the towns- people and read the inscription thereon, moved to the inside of the church, where they took up the best position available for seeing the bridal procession. Shortly before eleven, carpet was laid from the yard gates to the north-west entrance, and soon after this, carriages began to arrive. The bridegroom and his sup- porters arrived about a quarter before eleven, and took up a position in the chancel, where they were soon followed by a number of gaily-dressed ladies, carrying magnificent bouquets of the choicest flowers, and accompanied by several gentlemen. The church, by this time, was crowded in the centre, and all iat-r arrivals had to be content with the best view they could get from the side aisles. Not less than 500 ladies and a few gentlemen were present whose interest was not to be abated by any- thing less than a look at the bride and her bridesmaids. The organ rolled adagio music along the vaulted roof as the two dozen robed choristers slowly marched up the centre aisle, and disappeared through the chancel door. After a short silence, a general whisper and louder music followed, as the choristers again appeared in the central aisle, followed by the bride and her father, and the four bridesmaids, each magnificently dressed, and carrying an exquisite bouquet of flowers. The choristers filed off at the chancel gates, the bridal party moving on to the communion rail, where they were joined by the bridegroom and his supporters. The organ stopped to allow the ceremony to proceed, but the immense crowd of persons, who had waited at the door to see the party I arrive, rushed to the head of the church with unbecoming haste, and formed a large crowd immediately around the screen. Next, the unpardonable curiosity of many persons led them to stand on the seats to obtain a view of the marriage rite, and thus a dtlay was caused whilst the officials of the church commanded respect to the sacred- ness of the building, the ceremony to be performed, and also to the feelings of the parties concerned in it. Some- thing like order having been restored, the Rev. Jonathan Howell commenced the service, which was soon taken up by the Vicar, the Rev. D. Howell. The blessing having been devoutly given, the choir sang the proper Psalms. The hymn commencing as follows was also sung How welcome was the call, Aad sweet the fesU.l lay, When Jesus dei,med in Cana's hall To bless the marriage day. The formality of signing the register having been gone through the bridegroom escorted his wife down the church, whilst the organ rolled out the exquisite strains of Mendelssohn's immortal "Wedding March." The crowd on each side of the aisle was so great that only sufficient room was left to walk two abreast, and probably more eyes were on the blushing but happy couple during their short march through the church than at any one previous occasion. On reaching the yard many lifted their hats, and whispered, "God bless 'em," whilst others, more demonstrative, but not more sincere, showered handsful of rice, the significance of which we hope will ever attend Mr. and Mrs. Rees. The carriage quickly drove off, followed by that con- taining the four bridesmaids. As the last carriage rolled away the crowd was so dense that all had to sub- mit to the b'ind force of the mob, but, after being swayed to and fro, and receiving numerous appeals from anxious ladies for help, which none could give, time mended matters, and all quickly dispersed as the old church bells started a ringing of merry peals. The bride, Miss Edith McKenzie Low, had four brides- maids Miss Bertha Low, Miss C. Davies, Divlyn, near Llandovery; Miss Clare Carew Smith, London; and Miss Elsie Davies, Plas Darland. The whole of the dresses were the work of Mrs. Scott, High-street, Wrexham, and were very beautiful. The bride was dressed in ivory satin and brocade with Honiton lace, orange blossom, stephanotis, and myrtle. Her veil was of Honiton lace, and she also wore wreaths of orange blossom, myrtle and stephanotis. The bridesmaids were all dressed alike in cream cashmere, with pompa- dour cream beaver hats and coral coloured feathers. The bride did not wear any jewellery but her bridesmaids wore very handsome lockets and chains bearing the monogram of the bride and bridegroom which were the gift of the latter. The bride's mother wore a rich velvet dress decked with point lace, and a chip bonnet and feather. The bride's bouquet was presented by the best man, Mr. P. L. C. Richardson, and Mrs. Low's by the bride- groom, from Alphonsé Nice, florist to her Majesty. The bridegroom, T. Aneuryn Rees, Esq., of Tonn, Llandovery, had for his supporters, F. L. C. Richardson, Esq., Rhayerder, Dr. R. N. P. Low, A. E. Low, Esq., and Master J. Davies, Plas Darland. The parties were conveyed to church in about a dozen carriages, amongst which were those of J. Sparrow, Esq., Gwersyllt; W. Low, Esq., Edward Evans, Esq., Bronwylfa; John James, Esq., Plas Acton; Dr. Eytori-Jones, and Dr. Davies. The wedding luncheon was of a most bountiful character, and about 50 ladies and gentlemen partook of it. Among the guests were Rev. D. and Mrs. Howell, Rev. J. and Miss Howell, Mrs. Corry Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Rees, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, Rev. L. and Mrs. Davies, Dr. and Mrs. Eyton-Jones, Mr. James, Plas Acton Dr. and Mrs. Davies, Mr. and Mrs. N. R. Griffith, Mr. and Mrs. Overton, Mr. and Miss Bull, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Bull, Mr. Corte, Mr. Yates, Mr. and Mrs. Ainsworth, Mr. Webbe, Mr. and Mrs. Higgins, &c. The bride cake, a beautiful specimen of the confec- tioner's art, was the work of Messrs. Bolland, Chester. A number of speeches, of a well-wishing and compli- mentary character followed the breakfast, and eventually the bride and bridegroom left amidst showers of rice, slippers, &c., for Chester, en route for Paris and the South of France. The music at the church was very good, Mr. Edwin Harris (who presided at the organ) having the entire arrangement of this part of the service. The choir was that of St. Mary's, Bersham, and their attendance was by the permission of T. Ll. FitzHugh, Esq. The two Psalms were put to chants by Mr. Harriss (in C) and Barnby (in F). The responses were also to a set- ting by Mr. Harriss. The decorations of the town were as follows A trio of laurel arches at the exit of Grove Park, the central span being supported each side by two uprights bearing flowers and leaves at the top, across the arch were the mottos God bless the Union "and "Long life and happiness to Mr. and Mrs. Rees," the letters being formed with leaves on a light ground. Over the side arches were other mottos, such as Time cannot canker true love," "Long life and happiness," &c. Flowers, rosettes, and paper gloves dotted the arches, and the whole effect was very pretty. In front of Roseneath was a large flag, and stretched from each lamp across the entrance was the motto Long life to Mr. and Mrs. Rees." Mottoes were also placed around the lamps. Arches of a similar description were erected in Church- street, the mottos being "Success to the houses of Roseneath and Tonn" and "Long life and every happiness to Mr. and Mrs. Rees." The laurels were dotted with rosettes and other little ornaments. The route up Hope-street to Grove Park was overhung by several flags, a few of which also hung from the shops in High-street. A number of very handsome presents were received. On Tuesday evening about fifteen representatives from the Vron and Coedpoeth Collieries called at Rose- neath to present an exquisite silver epergne to the bride as a token of the esteem in which the family is held by the officials and workmen of the collieries. The company were met in the hall by Mr. and Mrs. Low, Miss Edith M. Low, Mr. T. A. Rees, and a number of other ladies and gentlemen. The epergne was set on a table in the centre, and in the front ranks of the depu- tation were Mr. J. C. Pattinson, chairman of the com- mittee, Mr. Owen, manager of the works and treasurer to the committee, Mr. T. Jones, secretary, and Mr. Joseph Wilcoxon, assistant secretary. Mr. J. C. PATTINSON said the approaching marriage of Miss Edith McKenzie having come to their know- ledge they thought it but right that they should show respect, in some tangible form, to the house of Rose- neath. They therefore formed a committee and raised subscriptions, and eventually succeeded in purchasing the centre-piece before them. They owed very much to Mr. Low, as head of the Vron Company, for what he had done in the neighbourhood during the great de- pression of trade. During that time he showed much concern for all, and he hoped that ere long the dark cloud which had hung over them would be dispersed, and the broad sun of prosperity shine upon them. They all felt very grateful to Mr. Low for the great enter- prise, energy, and skill which he had brought to bear upon the neighbourhood, and also for his great generosity of heart. He had always been ready to come forward and alleviate the distress which had prevailed, and they owed much to him and the family of Rose- neath. All whom they had solicited for subscriptions gave help with willing hearts and ready hands. He then called on Mr. Owen to make the presentation. Mr. OWKN said they were glad to have the oppor- tunity of showing respect to the house of Roseneath. Many and many good deeds were done by Mr. Low when at Llofft Wen, which would never be forgotten, and they thought that Miss Low would be proud of something to remind her of Llofft Wen. H« begged to < present that piece of plate to Miss Low on her marriage to T. A. Rees, Esq. The subscriptions were given by the officials and workmen and a few friends as a mark of respect and esteem, and with the very best wishes and they hoped that Miss Low and her future husband would live long and enjoy all happiness. Mr. REEH briefly responded on behalf of his future wife and himself. He said he had been called upon f quite unexpectedly, but he could assure them of his ] hearty good wishes and also of his hearty thanks for that mark of their respect and esteem, not only for his f future wife and himself, but also for Mr. Low. Times 1 had certainly been bad, and he thought that that hand- s some piece of plate showed how great their esteem for r. the family must be. Perhaps a number of words would not be suitable for that occasion, and he would, there- ] fore, conclude by again thanking them most heartily on c behalf ef Miss Low and himself. III Mr. Low also thanked the company very much for s their kind expressions, and for that mark of their I) t respect for his daughter and her future husband. He ( concluded by inviting the party to partake of refresh- I mmU. ] The centre-piece is designed in the Romano Greco period of art, and is arranged to carry fruit and flowers. The base is composed of a tripod shape, supporting a plinth upon which are placed at the angles three griffins serjeant, the pillar being very richly chased in relief with choice designs from the Greek and Woman styles of ornamentation. A plateau or stand is also supplied to suit the centre-piece. On the underneath plinth of the centre-piece is engraved the following in- scription, surmounted with the crest of Mr. T. Aneuryn Rees :—" Presented to Miss Edith MacKenzie Low on her marriage with T. Aneuryn Rees, Esq., by the officials and workmen of the Vron and Coedpoeth Collieries and other friends, as a mark of their respect and esteem, with their best wishes. Nov. 2G, 1879."

-------------------------WREXHAM…
WREXHAM DISTRICT HIGHWAY BOARD. A meeting of this body was held in the Wynnstay Hotel on Tuesday last. Present-Captain Griffith- Boscawen (chairman), Mr. S. T. Baugh (vice-chairman), Colonel Meredith, and Messrs. T. P. Jones-Parry, T. Chilton, W. Clayton, W. Lester, Jones (Bieston), Prichard (Allington), Davies (Llay), Dicken (Sesswick), Milligan (Borras Hovali), J. Williams (Pickhill), Wood- ward (Marchwiel), Davies (Abenbury Fawr), Thomas (Esclusham Below), Parsonage (Sutton), Jones (Ber- sham), Wallis (Stansty). PROPOSED BRIDGE AT FIVE FORDS. The Committee appointed to consider the question of a bridge at this point reported that up to the present traffic had been carried on through the brook, but now the brook was almost impassable. The Committee, therefore, suggested that a notice be posted warning persons of the danger of passing through that way. A bridge over the Clywedoc brook would be most service- able, and they thought the advantage of such should be shown to the adjoining owners of property. After dis- cussion, the report of the Committee was adopted, and it was resolved to ask the Surveyor of Abenbury Fechan to call a vestry meeting, and consider what part they would take in the erection of a bridge. A letter was received from Dr. Williams, Holt-street House, highly recommending the erection of a bridge at the Fords. ROSSETT AND THE TELEGRAPH. An application from the Post-office authorities to erect telegraph posts between Rossett station and the post-office was granted. THE STATE OF CYMMAU ROAD. The CLERK said he had sent a letter to Mr. Acherley with reference to the slip of land near the Ffrith toll house. He received a reply to the effect that he had communicated with his agent in regard to the matter and asked him to communicate with the Clerk with a view to the repair of the road. Soon after he received a letter from Mr. Acherley's solicitor to the effect that it was the duty of the road trustees to keep the road open, and stated that Mr. Acherley had in no way caused the slip by any action on his part. The Clerk then placed the matter into the hr.nds of Messrs. Acton and Bury, and in reply to a letter from them the solicitors to Mr. Acherley denied the re- sponsibility of Mr. Acherley to keep the highway open when the subsidence was a natural one or caused by storms. The Clerk added that Messrs. Acton and Bury were of opinion that it was the duty of the Board to keep the highway free from obstruction, and the question of claiming the costs would follow. Eventually it was resolved that the surveyor take what steps he thought best to prevent any accident here and that the matter be left in the hands of Messrs. Acton and Bury. IMPROVEMENT IN RHOSYMEDRE. After discussion it was resolved to purchase a piece of land opposite the vicarage, and add it to the road. The owner of the land asked 4s. per yard for it and Mr. Clayton and others remarked that 4d. would have been much nearer the real value. THE BOARD'S ACCOUNTS. The CLERK laid on the table a tabulated statement of the receipts and expenditure of the Board, in connection with the various highways, for the year ended 25th March, 1879. The total receipts were shown to be E8,873 19s. Sid, and the expenditure £ 7,648 10s. lfd., with a balance in hand of P,1,279 18s. Id. The following are the particulars of the common charges ifeceipts. A s. d.

Mr. BAUGH, on behalf of a committee appointed, reported on the adoption by the Board of a new and shorter route to that of the old highway road. The gradients on the shorter road were one in six, and on the old road one in nine. Mr. LESTER argued in favour of retaining the old road, which he said had been decided to be repairable by a decision of the County Court Judge, and, there- fore, if the Board adopted the new road, they would have an additional road to maintain. A deputation waited on the Board requesting them to adopt the new road, and intimating that Mr. Lester was in favour of the old road because it lead more directly to his lime works. Mr. LESTER very warmly denied this. Eventually the question was adjourned to enable Mr. Lester to produce the certificate of the County Court Judge in regard to the old road.

CORWEN.
CORWEN. BOARD OF GUARDIANS.—The fortnightly meeting of the Board of Guardians was held in the Board Room at the Workhouse, on Friday, the 21st inst. There were present The Rev. D. Evans, chairman the Rev. Thomas Williams, Messrs. John White, Edward Ed- wards, Edward Jones, Edward Roberts, Hugh Parry, Godfrey Parry, John Roberts, Henry Herbert, Robert Davies, and the Clerk, Edward Jones.—Amount ex- pended in out-door relief during the last fortnight, 9136 9s. 4d.; corresponding half-year, 2t37 Is. lid.; per Mr. Robert Hughes, the sum of 973 18s. 4d. and per Mr. Thomas Hughes, the sum of £ 62 lls. balance in the treasurer's hands, £ 530 lis. 6d. number of vagrants relieved during the last fortnight, 177 as com- pared with the corresponding period of last year; number in the workhouse, 4)5. The Clerk read the re- port of Mr. Bagot, one of the Visiting Commissioners in Lunacy, which was as follows :— The paupers in this Workhouse who are classed as of nn- Bounclmind lire ouo mal". an idiot boy. and five females. All of the latter were on the list at the time of the last visit by a Commissioner, which was two years ago. I have to-day seen all of these persons. The boy is dirty in his habits, but not: otherwise troublesome. The women, all but one who is partly paralysed, are useful in helping in the work of the house. The dress of one of the women was very much worn, but generally they were sufficiently clad and fairly clean. The accommodation has been improved since the last visit. Good single iron beds arc now iu use, and the bedding is clean and pood. In r.o case do two patients sleep together. The lava- tory has boen put in order, and the Master has been busy this year in laying out the airing court in the women's side, and making flower beds, which, in another year he would, I doubt not, have laid out and will be bright with flowers aud plants. The dietary is a fair cue, thoti.,h I should be glad if the im- becile class had a slight addition of meat; and, upon the whole, I think this class ot inmates are no v very fairly off. A letter was also read from the Local Government Board acknowledging the receipt of letters from the Guardians respecting irregularities as regards the carry- ing out of the Vaccination Acts in the Corwen Union, and to state that the Board trust that the Guardians will exercise such supervision over the work of the Public Vaccinators and Vaccination Officers as will prevent the recurrence of similar irregularities in future.

NORTHOP.
NORTHOP. A ROMANTIC CASE.—THE SEQUEL TO A DOCTOR'S ELOPEMENT. At the Petty Sessions held on Thursday, before the Rev. Walter Evans (in the chair), J. Henry, Esq., and Thomas Bates, Esq., Dr. Evans, of Mold, was brought up under the Vagrancy Act, charged with having left his wife and child destitute, both of whom in conse- quence became chargeable to the Common Fund of the Holywell Union. The giving of relief to Mrs. Evans and her daughter having 1 )een proved, the defendant, who was undefended, stated in reply to a question put to him by the Bench, that he had nothing to say. He felt keenly his position, and said that his books were in possession of his wife, and that many accounts were due to him. The Bench, addressing the de- fendant, stated that however painful it was they had their duty to perform, and the defendant was committed to Chester Castle for one month with hard labour. We have headed this case as a romantic one, and a few particulars of the romance may not be uninteresting to our readers. Mr. and Mrs. Evans had resided in Mold for some years, and apparently lived most happily. About three years ago they formed the acquaintance of a young person, a Miss Price, we believe, who became a regular visitor, and every kind- ness was shown to her by Mrs. Evans, who treated her with a motherly tenderness. Mrs. Evans left home on a visit to her friends in South Wales, and Miss Price became housekeeper pro. tem. On Mrs. Evans' return a change in the domestic affairs was apparent, and, to make the matter short, the doctor and Miss Price took flight together. It was discovered that they had "flown" to London, where "migratory birds" of this character often fly to. The local authori- ties being apprised of the circumstance, the police were brought into requisition. The doctor had paid a deposit of the passage money to New Zealand of himself and Miss Price, when in the act of paying over the balance he was quietly reminded by Inspector Minshull of the Flintshire Constabulary, that he was wanted at Mold. To Mold the erring doctor was brought, and from thence to Chester Castle! So for the present, ends this strange event- ful history."

FOOD ADULTERATION.—Dr. Tripe, public analyst of the Hackney district, reports, that all the samples of ] cocoa he examined, except one, were sold as mixtures of < cocoa, arrowroot and sugar, the exception being Cad- j bury's Cocoa Essence, which was genuine. The quantity of starch in the other samples varied between 67 and 80 1 per cent., so that allowing for sugar, there was not in < some of them more than 10 per cent. of cocoa. An < urticle like this was caaiparatively valueless afta £ food," 1
HER MAJESTY'S SCHOOL INSPECTOR…
HER MAJESTY'S SCHOOL INSPECTOR ON ARTS AND SCIENCES. On Wednesday evening the annual conversazione in connection with the Rbyl Science and Art, Classes took place, under the presidency of Mr. Perks, who was supported by Mr. Roberts, M.P. Daring the evening Mr. Morgan Owen, her Majesty's Inspector of Schools, spoke, andin the course of his remarks said: Believe me when I say that it gives me great pleasure to be one of so numerous and appre- ciative an assembly as the one I have the honour cf addressing. My pleasure is the greater because we meet upon a common platform, and breathe an at- mosphere unclouded by those lowering spots that dim the horizon upon certain contentious occasions. I believe I am giving expression to your sentiments, and to my own also, when I observe that we have met together for a twofold object; that is to say, to admire the beautiful pictures and other works of beauty and of art that have been so generously and freely lent by their owners, and which have been gathered together with no inconsiderable degree of trouble and anxiety by the persevering members of the committee,of the Rhyl Science and Art Classes. (Hear). And, secondly, to encourage by onr presence their combined efforts, and the efforts of the teachers and pupils also, of these instructive and ameliorating studies. In speaking of the letter, I feel an anxiety not as to what I should say,"but where to begin and when to leave off. I perceive that among the branches of instruction is Botany, and I am glad to find that the teachers in this sub- ject are the Rev. Owen Jones and Mr. Owen Thomas. I feel sure they deserve our thanks for their efforts. Certain it is that a study of the habits, structure, and influences of the flowers of the field, with their concomitant relations, is not only in itself and of itself an object worthy of our attention, if not of cur devotion but beyond this considera- tion, such a Fitudy cannoi. but have a higher ten- dency also, for when we are brought in contact with the lily that outshone the splendour of even a Solomon, we cannot, I say, but now and again think of the Creator of both Salomon and the lily. (Ap- plause). Chemistry I find is in 1he safe keeping of Dr. Cavstairs. Well,of this subject I need but remark that it has, to a. certain degree, revolutionised the world, and put time itself to flight. No doubt you will ail agree with my re to ark that drawing is a delightful art and a beneficial study. And here I should allude to irs instructor in these cbsses, Mr. Norbury. A beautiful face, a beautiful landscape, anything of beauty may be treasured up in the heart and impressed upon the brain. But the im- pulses and feelings of the heart change, and the r powers of the brain wax dim; how gratifying, therefore, must it be to have such a face, such a landscape, such a thing of beauty portrayed upon canvas, and easily accessible to view. And finally what about music? I need scarcely say anything about this subject. I may, however, remind you that we are informed in the classics that a certain musican, Orpheus by name, was able through the bewitching enticements of his musical efforts to cause mountains, trees, and stones to follow him at will. Of course, this mujt not be taken as an as- sertion of positive and sober fact, but rather as an imaginative poesy illustrative of the power of that divine art which is said to be able to soothe even the breasts of the savages of the forest. It may be urged by some that these studies unfit us for the wear and tear of ordinary life. I beg leave to differ from such persons as these, and to state that they help us in the discharge of our various duties. (Applause). And, if I may be allowed to speak from a personal point of view, I can safely assert that the knowledge that I obtained when a boy from classes similar to these at Rhyl, assist me in the right and proper discharge of my duties. And, were it necessary for me to do so, I could cite the name of one who not long ago gallantly gave his lifo for his Queen and country; and, he was a student of science and of art. (Cheers). In con- clusion, I trust that this evening is the commence- ment of a new era for the science and art classes of Rhyl, of an era of renewed efforts and of greater success. I trust that the inhabitants of this im- portant and rapidly improving town will in the future take a great interest in them, and thus strengthen and uphold the hands of their patrons, teachers, and pupils, who strive to do a common good for a common humanity. (Applause).

First prize, £ 5.— Awarded to Mr. John Roberts, of Geinas House, Bodfari, near Rhyl, for a field of 30 statute acres laid down for a permanency. An expensive collection of seeds had been sown, and most of the different varieties appear to have come up well. The root shows a judicious admixture of clovers and grasses, which, with future good management, will doubtless grow into a capital sward. The land is nicely laid down, remark- ably free from weeds, and apparently in excellent con- dition. A large flock of ewes were grazing the field on the day of inspection. Premium 2. To the occupier of any farm not being less in quantity than 80 acres and not exceeding 140 acres, including all the land he holds, who shall have the best grass seeds of the first year's growth, &c., as in premium 21. Four claimants. First prize, 25. Awarded to Mr. Thomas Jones, of Glanclwyd, near Ruthin, for a field of 12 acres laid down to remain two years. The mixture sown was 2 pecks Devonshire ever- green rye-grass, 1 peck Perennial rye-grass, 9 lbs. Welsh red clover-seed, 1 lb. alsike, and 1 lb. white clover per statute acre. This claimant's field had been eaten off with sheep since harvest, but cleared a short time before inspection. Both the clovers and grasses appear thick and regular in the sward, luxuriant in colour, and satisfactory as to cleanlines. (Signed) CRAS. B. DAVIBS, Eardswick Hall, Inspector. Middlewick, Cheshire.

JWtlnll JnMugriitc. FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION OF WALES. CUP TIE. FORESTERS (GWERSYLLT) v. CIVIL SERVICE.—These teams met for a third time, on Saturday last, to decide the tie between them. The ground, owing to the fall of snow in the morning, followed by a thaw, was in such a state as to prevent any good play being made. The ball was kicked off by the Gwersyllt captain, and was taken possession of by the Civil Service forwards, who kept it well in the vicinity of the Gwersyllt goal, where it was handed to W. Jones, who plac3d the ball very creditably in front of the posts, and it was headed through by Foulkes. On being set in motion again the ball was taken into the Civil Service quarters, when it was returned in good style by the backs. The play was much in favour of the Service before, and for some minutes after half time, the ball being passed from wing to wing in first-class form, but all attempts at scoring were neatly frustrated by the Gwersyllt goalkeeper, and one of these attacks resulting in favour of the defenders of the Gwersyllt citadel, they transferred the leather into the home team's ground, when Pickering, in attempting to screw the ball, kicked it in front of his own goal, and the forwards being close at hand, passed it to T. Ellis, who sent it through the posts. The home team then played with some determination, and severely pressed their opponents for a time, subsequent to which the Visitor's forwards got hold of the bal! and passed it to Dykins, who is said to have been waiting for it offside," and he sent it through the posts, Phennah allowing it to pass him without attempting to retard its progress. The game thus terminated in favour of the Gwersyllt by two goals to one. The teams were made up of the following Civil Service.-Goal, E. Pheunah; backs, G. Thomas (captain), and T. Monitor; linlf-backs, J. Pickerin- G Harrison, and T. Davies; right wiag, J. H. Jones and Joseph Jones; left wing, W. Jones and A. Richards; centre, J. Forkin. Umpire, G. Tag-g. Gioersyllt Foresters.—Goal, S. Davies; backs, R. Davies and R. Williams; half-backs, G. Roberts, W. Tnder (captain) and C. Roberts; right win, T. Ellis and E. Williams, left wing, J. B. JIarston and S. Powell; centre, Dykins. Umpire, O. Price. Referee, E. A. Cross. CIVIL SERVICE 2ND ELEVEN* v. GROSVEXOR 2ND ELEVEN.—A match will be played between the above clubs on the ground of the latter on Saturday. Kick-off at 3 o'clock. DENBIGH v. RUTHIN.-This match was played at Denbigh in a field kindly lent for the occasion by Mr. Thomas, Park-street, and after a splendid play resulted in a victory for the home team by two goals to one. CHALLENGER Boys. v. ALBION (2ND TEAM).—This match was played on the ground of the former (Hightown), on Saturday, and resulted in a victory for the Challenger Boys by seven goals and one disputed to none. GROVE PARK V. KING'S SCHOOL, CHESTER.—A match between the King's School (Chester) and Grove Park School (Wrexham), was played at Chester on Wednes- day. The home team had the advantage in size and weight, but this was more than equalized by the play of the visitors. The ball was kicked off at 2.50, and after half an hour's play the visitors carried the ball through their opponents and gained the first goal. The King's School, not daunted by this, played up with such zeal that they succeeded in gaining the umpire's de- cision in their favour for a goal. J. Heatley's brilliant play now gained a complete victory for the visitors. Three times in the remaining half hour he succeeded in taking the baU across the Held and running it through his opponents' goal, thus scoring four goals to one for Grove Park, FIXTURES, November 29th, Wroxhum v.
