Reed during the 13 years of his incumbency in the parish. During that time, whatever Mr Reed undertook was adequately and well done, and the reminisences of his good, honest, faithful, and kind disposition will be remembered for a long time to come.—After the presentation of the testimonial Rev S. Reed thanked the audience and subscribers most genially for the gift.—Short addresses were also delivered by the Chairman, Messrs Thomas Evans (Maesgwyn), D. Roberts, jun. (Tyurhos), W.

Mr. Heed, in the course of a. short speech, said that that was the last day for him to meet them at Llan. erfyl in the capacity of Rector; for he had that day delivered his charge over to Mr. Harrington, the new Rector, and he sincerely hoped that the same good will and courtesy would, in the future, exist between the parishioners and Mr. Harrington as had existed between them and himself in the past. He invited those present to par- take of his hospitality at Llangyniew on Wednes- day next.

In spite of this great disadvantage, the children did well, and the school, in regard to religious education as a whole, is in a very good condition. The written answers on slates, as well as on paper, were neat, fall, and accurate, bearing evidence to careful teaching." SALE OF WORK.—On Thursday week a sale of work, which had been organised by Mrs. Lightfoot Harrison, the Vicarge, took place in the School- room. Many willing helpers provided goods for sale, refreshments, curiosities, Ac., who also assisted in the work of the day. There were two large stalls for tho sale of goods both old and new, pre- sided over by Mrs. Harrison, Miss G. Edwards (Ness), and Mrs. Whittingham. Many ladies and gentlamen in the parish contributed articles for sale and refreshments, and many thanks are due to them for their generosity.

On the whole the sale was quite a success, the proceeds amount- ing to J616, which will be divided between the two churches and the school. LLANGYNIEW.
