L <um.— ———— CARDIGAN Obituary.—The death took place on Sun- day, March 12th, after a very long illness of Mr. David Morgan, Ystrad Rhondda. De- ceased was the father of the Rev. D. Mor- gan, St. Dogmelis, and the Rev. J. Morgan, Aberdare. He was a native of Cwmystwyth, Cardiganshire, and had attained a good age, being 75 years old. He left Cwrnystwyth about thirty nine years ago, and quickly made a large circle of friends in his new home, as was evidenced by the large attend- ance at the funeral. The interment took place at Treorehy cemetery or. Thursday last, the Rev. T. Lloyd, pastor officiated. There were many friends and a host of min- isters present. Capel Mair Band of Hope.—A successful meeting in connection with Capel Mair Band of Hope was held on Wednesday even- ing last. Mr. Lewis Evans, J.P., presided, The programme was commenced by Miss Lottie Thomas, who gave a recitation, and afterwards a Welsh paper on Eternity was read by Mr. Wm. George, and two on the same subject in English by Mr. Wm. Griffi- ths, and Mr. 0. Sparrow. Miss Priscilla Owen, Morgan-street gave an address from the verse "Be ye kind to one another." Solos were rendered by Miss L. Lewis and Mr. Wm. Thomas. The chief item during the evening was the competition for a prize of a clock madp- of lozenges by Mr. C. Spar- row and offered by him for the best reciter of poetry on ('Et.ernity," The adjudicators were Messrs. D. Ladd Davies, and Beynon Evans, and out of fourteen competitors they awarded the prize to Arthur Thomas, St. Mary-street. A collection was taken, and each of the other thirteen received a small sum. The vestry was crowded, and the evening wi-, very pleasantly spent. BOROUGH PETTY SESSIONS. The weekly Petty Sessions for the Cardi- gan borough were held on Monday at the Guild Hall, before Col. W. Picton Eva«s (in the chair), Messrs. W. Lewis, \V. Wood- ward, Lewis Evans, R. W. Picton Evans, Beynon Evans, E. Mathias, E. Ceredig Ev- ans, T. E. Davies, A. Clougher, J. Daniel, T. it. Williams. J. C. Roberts, and W. R. Richards. Dormant Licenses Decision.-The Chair- man gave the decision of the court in regard to the Uoiiuunt licenses which had been ad- journed. ilie iicenses were what were known as full licenses, and the Act of 1828 fixed qualifications for applicants for such grants. The bench considered that the Act of 1869 having reference only to wine and spirit licenses, did lot affect full licenses. By section 1 of the Act of 1904 the refusal of licenses was limited to four grounds, and the Bfc.ich had to consider whether it took away the discretion given to the justices by the Act of 1828. As the Act of 1904 dealt only With persons who were qualified under the 1828 Act, they were therefore of opinion that the discretion given them was not inter- fered with, and they were still entitled to exercise their decision. No application was made by any occupier or any evidence given that anyone was keeping or was about to keep an inn at the houses known as Prince of Wales, Cambrian Inn, and Cattle Arms, and the justices had therefore no jurisdic- tion. The licenses would not be renewed. As regarded Novaddwilym Arms the magis- trates bad taken the three objections, and had come to the decision that this was a license they nnght. renew. They would re- fer the cases or Square and Compass." "Drawbridge Im. and "Royal Ook" for dis- posal to the Quarter Sessions.—The Mayor said that the same decision had been arriv- ed at with respect to Newport Arms.—The Chairman hoped that the conclusion come to was a satisfactory one. j Doesn't Like School.—Frederick Wright, The Netpool, Cardigan, was summoned by John Grimths, attendance officer, for non- compliance with a school attendance order, John Grimths, attendance officer, for non- compliance with a school attendance order, dated June 23rd. 1904.—Mr. Griffiths pro- duced a certificate showing that from Nov- ember 28th, 1904 to March 3rd, 1905, the school was open one hundred and sixteen times. Wm. Morris (stepson) only attended twenty-six times.—Wright said the boy was thirteen on February 14th last. He had made every effort to get the boy to the school, sending him off every morning.- The Bench ordered that the boy should be sent to the Truant School until he was "fourteen years of age. Excise List —Mr. J. R. Daviec.. assistant overseer, pre.->e;ted the excise list, contain- ing a dozen names, for the St. Mary's parish. —The list was allowed.—The Bench also gave their assent to a list presented for the St. Dogmelis municipal.

Alder- man John Lewis presiding.—A vote of thanks was passed to Miss Phillips and the students of the Grammar school, as well as to the Rev. J. Davies, Closygraig, for con- ducting religious services at the House.— The ymaster reported that there were seven- teen inmates in the House as against fifteen the corresponding weeks of the previous year. One hundred and two vagrants had been re- lieved. as compared with one hundred and forty six.—Precepts from the following were received:—County rate, Carmarthen County Li Council t463 9s. 7d.. a rate of 6d. in the £ Pembroke County Council, £64 4s.

Davies, the notices relative to the Midwives' Act should be published.—Alderman John Lewis pro- posed that the road belonging to the Great Western Railway Company at Pencader should be repaired on the condition that the Company paid L5, and also a sum of JE2 annually for maintenance.—This was sec- onded by Mr. Wallis-Jones, and carried.—It was directed, on the motion of Alderman J. Lewis, that the road labourers should com- mence the repairs to the Penrherber and Bwlchcaebrith roads.—Mr. John Williams, surveyor, asked the permission of the Coun- cil to accept the office of sub-agent to the Earl of Cawdor.—It was proposed by Mr. J. Davies, Pontgareg, seconded by Mr. D. Jones, Court Mill, and agreed, that the permission should be granted. MR. BRIGSTOCKE ON POULTRY DEALING. Mr. A. Brigstocke gave the result of his personal experiences in poultry farming in the form of an address to the farmers of the district on Friday at the Emlyn Arms, Hotel, the 4meetmg being under the auspices of the Farmers' Co-operative Association. Though the subject is one closely associated with the daily work of the farmer, there was but a sprinkling present and the Chairman (Col. Lewes) expressed his sorrow at this in his opening remarks. He hoped these quarterly meetings would result in drawing the mem- bers together. Mr. Brigstocke had given more time to this cause than any one in Wales, (hear, hear.) Mr. Brigstocke said he was afraid that three months notice of such meetings as those was too great, and in future meetings, especially when their worthy chairman was to read his paper, he suggested that the secretary should send special reminders out. Introducing his remarks he said the title of the paper was 'poultry farming," but he would not go into that, he would just take a few rough notes on the keeping of poultry. Two main objects in keepihg poultry were to get a plentiful supply of eggs, and to pro- duce table birds, and these two things were quite distinct, i.e., one could hot carry out the two objects with the same type of birds. The great mistake everybody made round here was that they did not hatch their birds so as to have eggs during the winter months. During last December and January hardly anybody had any eggs at all, but those who had a supply, were, of course, able to get a good price for them. This was one point he would like to impress upon them, that if they wanted to get eggs in the winter they must hatch their birds not later than May. Hatch them in March or April and they would probably be laying in October and right through the winter months when eggs were scarce. The difficulty 510 doubt, was the rearing of the birds at this time of the year. It was quite easy to get a foster mother, however, and there was one he could recommend which any ordinary farmer could make for about 15s. It was simply a box made into two compartments, a lamp put inside, and on the lid nail some zinc, and they would find that for all practical pur- poses this would answer perfectly. He did not think he need say any more about the value of hatching chickens late. If they were not hatched until May or June they had to be ké'pt over the winter months eat- ing their heads off and bringing in no sort of profit. His practice was to let the birds lay as long as they would, say until the middle of the summer, and before they be- gan to moult sell them as table birds or eat them. In this way they proved very profit- able indeed. With regard to table birds, everyone knew that chickens weighing three or four pounds during the early months of the year would fetch twice as much as chick- weigiiiiig seven or eight pounds later on. The necessity for having a foster mother or incubator was still greater in the case of table birds. By hatching in November, December, or January, they had chickens readv to sell in May and June for which they qoujd get 7s. 6d. and 8s. 6d. a pair, even from the local dealers. He was frequently having letters from wholesale dealers in Lon- don and Cardiff, asking for a regular supply of eggs. It was a matter leaving great pos- sibilities to the members if they would only join together, and produce winter layers. They could easiliy have a depot, and get 1 F a hundred for eggs during the winter months, and, perhaps, even more. When he first went to Blaenpant, there were a lot of fowls there that would not lay, and when killed were like a piece of leather; they had been there for generations he believed. (Laughter). What he would advise anyone who wished to imake a good start in poultry keeping was to kill off the old stock, and restart with a fresh lot. He would now like to say a few words about the feeding of fowls. He com- plained that people gave them three or four times more than they actually required, with the result that a lot was wasted. Fowls required feeding regularly, but not much at a time. During the winter time they could not beat for cheap food barley meal, bran and a little molassine mixed with it. At Blaenpant it was simply mixed up in a bucket with a quantity of hot water. They should give not more than two spoonfuls (using a oawl spoon) for three birds. It was very important not to give laying birds Indian corn. The way people threw about Indian corn was a pity to see, it was thrown about in bucketfuls. It was the worst thing they could feed birds on for layiug, but as far as he could ascertain there was nothing to beat small oats, it being cheaper than Indian corn. They would not want much, a very little warm food once a day and less than a handful of oats for each bird was all that was required to keep birds in good condition for laying. If they wanted to fatten birds for killing, Indian corn was all very well, but for laying there was no doubt it was very bad. Another thing often over- looked was the necessity for giving the birds the cleanest of water, and fresh every day. People did not think until they tried it how important grit was. If they put a tin- ful in for chicks only a day old they would soon clear it off, and they would find thej would have to refill it in a few days. Fowls had to depend on their internal organs to di- gest their food, and they must have grit for that purpose. Another mistake otten made was not allowing sufficient air in the houses, and providing only a sort of a cupboard for the birds. Even in the severest weather it was far better to have a house one side of which was nothing but wire than one quite closed up all round. It would be far better to have plenty of ventilation, and he would strongly recommend anyone who had a house boarded round to knock at least part of one side out, replacing it with wire. It was im- portant to have the house cleaned out regu- larly, but if they used moss litter, probably, the most healthy bedding, it would not be necessary to do it oft-ener than onoe every three months unless they had this, it was absolutely necessary that it should be clean- ed out regularly, otherwise the birds would get all sorts of diseases. Speaking of the feeding of chickens, Mr. Brigstocke said they got a lot of ideas from America and a new system of feeding- had come over to this country during the last year or two known as the "dry feed" system. It had been found to answer very well, it was a great saving of trouble—a few handfuls being sufficient for about fifty chicks—and he would reoommend a trial. in trying it himself he put a whole canful in, but found they eat so much that their bodies grew too large for their feet. Those who did not go in for* dry feeding, should, it was important to note, mix food fresh on each occasion it was wanted. A couple of handfuls of soft food mixed up with hot water was as much as about fifty chicks needed at a time, indeed it seemed hard to give them too little. Mr. Brig- stocke next went on to speak of the different breeds, first referring to the Leghorns, Minorcas, and Plymouth Rocks. Leghorns were, no doubt, good layers, but taking them all round they were not good winter layers because the cold affected their comb, and through this the laying) suffered. Another objection he had was that when they had been kept for a season they were so small that they could only get a very low price for them. The Minorcas were wonderful layers of good eggs, but those who kept them found they did not lay in winter a man who went in largely for Minorcas, had been sending to him during the past winter season for eggs because his own Minorcas were not laying at all. Plymouth Rocks were a breed introduced from America, and though very useful and handsome birds, they were not good table birds. The kind he recommended both as winter layers and as table birds were Wyandottes, of which there were four kinds, the White, Partridge, Gol- den and silver. They grew into big birds, cockerels to something between ten and twelve pounds, and pullets between eight and nine when they had finished their first year's growth. The Partridge Wyandottes were very hardy, requiring little "grub," while the chickens fir6t showing feathering were always these birds. Another strong point with regard to Wyandottes was that they could breed exhibition specimens with- out spoiling them. Many breeds had been absolutely ruined by inbreeding for exhibi- tion purposes, and they were doing their best to ruin the Leghorns by breeding for comb. Other birds he had found a failure were Black Orpingtons, which were yery good looking, but the most useless birds he had got. He must say a good word for Buff Orpingtons, they were good layers of a nicely coloured egg, and for table birds, it was a matter of choice between them and Wyandottes. There \vas only one other type wortji mentioning ,and that was the dorking class, Indian game, of which he remarked that at a Crystal Palace show ther was nothing to compare with these exhibits. So far he had been speaking of poultry, in the ordinary way of getting eggs or selling them for table birds. To any one who had the incli- nation he thought that breeding a few birds for show purposes would add very much to the interest, and there was no doubt that this would make one study them much more and pay greater attention to them. It would be very little trouble to put up a little run to keep a few for exhibition pur- poses, and to meet them, the shows in the district should emulate the Henllan com- mittee, who last year provided several local classes. It was no encouragement to people to subscribe to local shows unless the people in the neighbourhood had a chance of win- ning some prizes. Mr. Brigstocke said an- other thing he complained of was that when his friends got good birds from Blaenpant sittings they sold them. It was far better if they could get a good lot of birds to pick out the best and keep them for breeding. He saw there were some practical headed farmers there that day and they would agree with him that forty fowls would bring in more profit than a cow. (Hear, hear). It was most important that they should always be sure that. none of the birds were ill, as it was extremely dangerous. If they saw a bird looking at all unwell it should be separ- ated from the rest. and a little Epsom salts given it. If it did not improve, it would be beat to kill it. A good tip to keep them in good health was to give them Epsom salts in their water once a fortnight. (Applause.) Alderman John Lewis proposed a vote of thanks to the speaker, and this having been seconded by Mr. Evans, Tangwst, was car- ried unanimously. Several of those present spoke, amongst them being the Rev. D. S. Davies, rector of Cilrhedyn,; Mr. Thomas Davies, Mr. E. Rees, Pengelli; Mr. George Bailey, and Mr. Davies, Glanmemog.

THE ROYAL EISTEDDFOD, MOUNTAIN ASH. We are desired by the Committee to make it known that, in deference to the wishes of a nu'mber of competitors, and after con- sulting the adjudicators, it has been decided to extend the date for sending in Literary compositions from the 1st. of May to the 1st of June. The Committee also take this opportunity to contradict the idle rumours of the abandonment of the Eisteddfod, and to state that such a step has never been thought of by them. In fact, the arrange- ments for the Eisteddfod are in an advanced stage, and the prospects are most promising for a great success.

LAM PETER The College.—The Winter Session came to a close yesterday (Wednesday) and the stu- dents will re-assemble on April 26th. Football.—On Saturday a team represent- ing Llangennech played S.D.C. team and won by one point, the final score being, Llan- gennech eleven point, and S.D.C., ten. Ecclesiastical.—During the next few weeks the Vicar (the Lord Bishop of Swansea) will conduct confirmation services in Glamorgan- shire. Baptism.—Four candidates were baptised by immersion at the Noddfa Baptist Chapel on Sunday evening. The pastor, Rev. D. Jones, officiated. Begging.—On "Wdnesday last, before the Mayor, John Moss, a tramp, hailing from Bolton. was sent to prison for seven a'" for begging in Mill-street.—P.C. Selwood proved the case. Another Mission.—Whilst revival meet- ings were being conducted at the Church and at all the chapels at the end of the week, there was another mission party conducting services in the streets. They were the Sal- vat-ion Army from Aberystwyth. Their meeting at the Town Hall on Sunday even- ing was largely attended. The Streets.—The condition of the streets during the past few days was far from satis- factory. and was a matter of much comment by visitors. The stormy weather may have interfered with the work of repairing, but every day has not been boisterous. Tlhje Carmarthenshire main roads, despite the heavy traffic, are a pattern to our borough roads. The Revival..—'Two of the united weekly meetings have been discontinued. As in many other places united meetings in this town—in connection with whatever move- ment—do not seem to enjoy a long lease of life. The prayer meetings held on Sunday evenings were most successful, and their dis- continuance has given rise to much dissatis- faction among young people who were unable to attend on other week nights. Forthcoming Competitive Meeting.—A meeting of the members of the Assembly Rooms Committee was held on Monday even- ing, under the chairmanship of Dr. Walker, to make the necessary arrangements for the proposed competitive meeting to be held on August 16th. It was agreed to offer a prize of £1 each in the soprano, contralto, tenor, bass, or baritone competitions, and £5 for the champion solo. A sub-committee was formed to select solos and to make further arrangements. Presentation.—At the weekly prayer meet- ing held on Wednesday evening in last week at Noddfa Baptist Chapel, the pastor,. Rev. David Jones was the reciepient of a purse of gold subscribed by the members o? -nis church, on the occasion of his recent mar- riage. Mrs. Hughes made the presenta- tion on behalf of the Church. On Thursday evening at Caersalem chapel, the oldest deacon, Mr. Evan Thomas presented Mr. Jones with a similar gift which was sub- scribed by the members of that church.. A beautiful silver mounted cream jug was also sent from Glandennys. High School for Gli-Is.-As will be seen in one of our advertising, columns, two scholar- ships, covering the ordinary tuition at the High School will be offered for competition to scholars from elementary schools on Sat- urday, April 8th. During the few years of its existence the school has made rapid pro- gress, and each term brings in several new pupils. The results of recent examinations are a sufficient proof of the progress made, and of the efficient training which the pupils receive from Miss Ebbutt and her able staff. BOARD OF GUARDIANS. The usual fortnightly meeting of the Board was held on Friday. The Rev. R. C. Jones, presided and there were also pre- sent Miss Bankes-Price, Lampeter; Messrs. B. J. Evans, Llanfair (vice-chairman); Wm. Davies, Cellan; D. H. James, and Thomas Jones, Llanllwni; E. M. Evans, Llanvby- ther; D. Evans and T. Thomas, Pencarreg; James Jones, Rhosycorn; Evan Davies, Llanllwni; and David Price, Lampeter rural; with Mr. J. E. Lloyd (clerk), Mr. E. D. Rees (assistant clerk), Mr. D. Evans and Wm. Davies (relieving officers): James Ev- ans (master), Drs. Evans and Thomas (medi- cal officers). Statistics. Out-door relief administered during the past fortnight for the Lampeter district was L36 8s. 6d. to 150 paupers; for the Llany- byther district t40 17s. 6d. to 112 paupers. Number of inmates in the house 21, last year corresponding period 20. Number of vagrants relieved during the fortnight 98. Very Reasonable." Dr. Thomas reported that a tramp had fractured his leg near Henfaes bridge, Llan- ybyther. He asked for his fee for attend- ing the case.—It was agreed that Dr. Tho- mas be allowed 10s. 6d., the amount of his fee, which was considered very reasonable. Pauper Patients. A letter from the Aberystwyth Infirmary was read in regard to a complaint made by the Aberystwyth Union of a case where a pauper patient was sent from, a neighbour- ing Union to the Infirmary ana oemg in an unfit state to be returned to that Union on his discharge he, consequently, became per- manently chargeable to the Aberystwyth Union. The Committee had found it neces- sary to pass a resolution requiring all Unions subscribing to this Infirmary to give an undertaking to be responsible for the main- tenance of such a pauper on his discharge. The Committee trusted that the Guardians would pass a resolution to the effect that they considered that the Aberystwyth Union had been hardly dealt with on this occasion. -Mr. B. J. Evans remarked that they were very hard people in Aberystwyth.—Mr. D. H. James proposed that the letter be left on the table.—Mr. B. J. Evans: To pay them for the sympathy they have previously shown towards us.—The letter was allowed to lie on the table. Inspector's Recommendation Rejected. The meeting considered the tender of Mr. Hughes-Davies, Emporium, for the erection of a drying closet at the Workhouse at a cost of £ 41.—The Master remarked that the Inspector had condemned the practice of washing and drying in the same room, as he considered it was unhealthy for the persons working therein.—Mr. David Evans, pro- posed that the matter be deferred, as the summer wis approa.ching and the clothes u would soon dry.- The "ture was going up. and he did not d of it at the present time.-M omas second- ed.—Miss Price r the atmos- phere in the pre^fty was very heavy, especially- fo^^ No action was taken, and the luaWer was deferred. Provisions. The following tenders were accepted for supplying provisions for the Workhouse for the ensuing half year:—Coal, Messrs. Evans and Davies, merchants; milk, Mr. D. Ev- anes, Pontfaen; butter, Mr. D. Evans, Ffynonfair; ironmongery, Mr. J. T. Meg- icks. Corner Shop; meat, Mrs. Evans, butcher groceries, Mr. Charles Evans. Mark- Lane Stores; drapery, Mr. Walter Davies, London House. Pauper Children. A circular letter from the State Children's Association was read, which suggested that emigration to Canada as a means of dealing with Poor Law Children had of late been much brought to public notice, and under the present administration it was not only the best, but also the cheapest method of providing for suitable state-supported child- ren.—No action was taken.

LLANYBYTHER. RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL. The monthly meeting of this Council was held at Lampeter on Friday last. The chair- man, Mr. D. H. James, presided, and there were also present Messrs. Thos Jones, David Evans, James Jones, Thomas Thomas, and E. Morgan Evans. Midwives Act. T'hfl^lerk (Mr. Lloyd) explained the pro- visiojfcf the Midwives' Act, and stated that at tmPcxpiration of the month of March, no person could be registered as a midwife, with- having first passed an examination.—A list of names of the midwives practising in the district was submitted, and the Clerk was directed to write to each explaining the Act

Alihiv A YKOiN. An Octogenarian's Death.—Mrs. Mary Anne Jones, of Cadwgan-place, Aberavron, who died last week in her 89th year, was the mother of Mrs., Josiali Griffiths, of Morris- ton, and the late Mr. T. Z. Jones. Miss Etta Jones, her. second daughter, also sur- vives her. She. was, born in Paris in the year 1816. Her mother was returning, from Waterloo, her husband being one of Wel- lington's soldiers,, and she had followed the regiment to which her husband belonged throughout the whole of the campaign. BOARD OF GUARDIANS, The fortnightly meeting of the Guardians of the above Union was held on Wednesday, March loth at the Board Room, Union Workhouse. Plresent, Mr. J. C. Jones (chairman),, presiding; Rev. S. Evans, Llan- llwchhaiarn; Rev. D. W. Davies, New Quay, Messrs. E.. D. Rees, New Quay j, T. Jones, Llandisilio; D. Evans, and J. J. Lewis, Llan- arth; E. W.

Griffiths,. Aberayron; Messrs, B. C. Jones (clerk); W. Evans and A. L. Thomas (reliev- in officers). The House. Number of inmates 18; corresponding per- iod last year 18. Vagrants relieved during the fortnight 124; corresponding period last year 92. I:> Detained over Sundays 18; in lodging houses 151. The Master reported that Elizabeth Davies, aged 76, an inmate, I had met her death by falling. An inquest II was held, and a verdict of Accidental death" was returned. Infirmary Cases. The Rev. D. M. Davies, proposed, and Mr. E. Jones, seconded, that this Board author- ise the Aberystwyth Union to relieve pamp- ers when in the Infirmary if they were not in a fit state to return to their homes." Finance. The Clerk laid before the meeting a state- ment in regard to the financial position oif the Board. The overseers of the different par- ishes were in arrears with their payments, and as money was needed urgently for many things he did not know what to do.-T,he Chairman proposed, and Mr. J. Williams, seconded, that all the overseers be served with notice that, unless they paid the treasurer the arrears due on or before the 22nd of this month, the Board would be obliged to apply for summonses for the re- covery of all sums due.—A member asked for a list shewing the amount due on each par- ish.—It was read and New Quay was the only one which had paid up fully. Assessment Committee. The Assessment Committee met on the same day as the Guardians. In the absence of the Chairman and Vice-Chairman, Mr. J. C. Jones was voted to the chair. There were also present Messrs. E. Jones, J. Williams. E. W. Evans, D. Davies, D. T. Davies, E. Williams, T. Jones, and Samuel Evans. Supplemental lists for several of the par- ishes were laid before the meeting and con- sidered. Mr. T. Davies, Panau, Llandisilo, appeared, and objected to the increase in the assessment df his holding. The Overseers had increased the rateable value of the farm on account of improvements done. The ten- ant maintained that there were no improve- ments. M>\ Davies complained of several things. The committee decided to let the valuation of the overseers stand. Several others appeared for the same purpose, and were dealt with similarly.

VICAR AND SCHOOLMASTER. CUMBERLAND PARISHIONERS' ACTION A difference between vicar and parishioners has taken asomewhat acute form in Staple- ton, an extensive parish embracing a large portion of the wild tracts of the north-east corner of Cumberland. Last November the managers of Stapleton School called upon the schoolmaster, Mr. Robinson, to resign. This he declined to do. Last December a parish meeting was held, at which a resolution was passed and forwarded to the vicar, the Rev. E. Hindle, calling upon the managers to rescind the resolution requiring the school- master to find another place as soon as pos- sible. To this communication, it is stated, no reply has been received from the vicar and at another parish meeting held this week: Dr. Blair Causley presiding, the following resolution was passed: 'That we, assembled parishioners, formally ask the Rev. E. Hindle to seek another appointment at his earliest convenience, and that the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of the diocese and the Countess of Carlisle be earnestly requested to assist the Rev. E. Hindle in obtaining such an appointment." Another resolution was passed expressing the fullest confidence in the school-master. The Earl of Carlisle is patron of the living.

at the workhouse.—The last named price was accepted. A Llangranog Case.—The Clerk said he was instructed to write to Mrs. Ann Davies, Cwm Hawen, Llangranog, with regard to the agreement entered into by her to keep her brother, Alban Davies, as long as he lived, and in reply he had received a letter from Messrs. Evans and Stephens, acting on be- half of Mrs. Davies, stating that the agree- ment was inoperative, and the acts of. the brother had also rendered it so.-In the discussion afterwards it was alleged, that Mrs. Davies had made a will favourable to her brother Alban, and in order to make mis- chief between the two it was alleged further that Alban Davies was purposely made drunk at a fair at Newcastle-Emlyn, and sent home in that condition, with the result that his sister turned him out of the house.—In reply to a question, the clerk said that the guard- ians had no power to expend any money in taking up legal proceedings on behalf of a pauper. The Chairman: Could they not enforce the repayment of the relief paid to Alban Davies ?-The Clerk did not think so, as Mrs. Davies had made no promise to pay the relief.—The Rev. J. Williams thought the best plan would be for some of Alban Davies' friends to take the matter up in his behalf, and have the agreement enforced.— It was understood that such a course was contemplated, and the matter was allowed to drop. The Hous.e.-The Chairman asked whether it was not full time they proceeded with the alterations at the workhouse. He had as- certained that a good deal of the stone re- quired was ready.—It was resolved on the tmotion of the Rev. John Williams, seconded by Mr. H. 0. Davies, that the work be pro- ceeded with, and tenders for the same to be advertised for.

and stating there was no time to lose in get- ting their names registered. New Bridge.

The Inspector (Mr. Parry Thomas) report- ed having visited parts of the parishes of Pencarreg and Llancrwys. The drainage of Cwmanne-terrace had not yet been put in a satisfactory condition. As to the drain- age of Saweldy. a butcher's shop, it was very defective, and a great nuisance. He found Treherbert village in very good condition. There was plenty of water in the brook be- hind the houses for fitishing ,and washing, purposes, but the water for dietetic purposes was still wanting. Coedmore school was found in a good condition, and offices were in course of construction at the back. Esger- dawe School was in a very bad condition,. and badly kept.—A letter from Col. Davies- Evans was read, stating that he had in- tended making extensive alterations at Cross Hands, and asked the Council to make a* drain.—It was agreed that the Inspector should consult Col. Davies-Evans upon the matter. Pig Styes. A circular letter from the Board of Agri- culture and Fisheries; was read, stating, that their attention had frequently been called to the defective and unsatisfactory state of many of the pigstyes in the country places. Apart altogether from questions of public health, it was, undoubtedly, the case that the economic advantages of sound well-built pigsties were very great, since swine thrived and fattened quicker and better in clean and healthy surroundings. Swine were also liable to many diseases, infectious and otherwise, to which insanitary conditions rendered them specially susceptible. The Board desired to call attention to the proper construction of pigstyes, and urged the local Council to bring this to the notice of owners of pigs. No action was taken. Treherbert Water Supply. A letter from Mr. J. H. Evans, Newcastle Emlyn, was read, stating that the fee of L2 10s. included the fee of a surveyor. This matter was in reference to the Treherbert water supply, at which place Mr. Evans is the owner of certain springs.—The matter was left in abeyance.
