LLANLLWCHAIARN CHURCH SCHOOL FESTIVAL,— Brilliant weather favoured the holding of this event, which came off on Wednesday afternoon last. The scholars and teachers assembled at the National School, Penygloddfa, at two o'clock, where a pro- cession was formed, and headed by the Royal Welsh Warehouse Band (conducted by Mr W. Gamble), paraded the principal streets of the town. After- wards they returned to All Saints' Church, where a short service was held. Prayers were said by tl e Rev.

J. P. Lewis, curate of Welshpool. The following hymns were sung :—" We love the place, 0 God," There's a green hill far away," and Onward, Christian soldiers." After the service the procession was reformed and marched to Plas-y-bryn (the residence of Mr Edward Powell), where an excellent tea had been provided by Mr Bebb, under a group of trees.

Fiitz.-Shortly after two o'clook on Saturday afternoon week the inhabitants of Newtown were rather alarmed by the ringing of the tire bed, and very soon the streecs were crowded with an anxious enquiring crowd. The news soon spread that a fire had broken out in a stable occupied by A. D. Dawson, Esq., on the side of the Canal Basin, anri adjoining the house occupied by Mr Geo. Hawkins. The fire brigade were instantly called together, and they immediately proceeded with the reel and hose to the scene of the fire. Arriving at the fire, it was seen that a large number of the residents in the neighbourhood had exerted themselves to such a degree that the fire was nearly got under, and with the assistance of the fire brigade, backed up by the fire engine of Mr David Edwards's, it was eventually brought absolutely under control. It appears that the building was used as a stable, also as a store for hay and straw. That portion of the building in which the fodder was kept was open to the yard, and was frequented by the children of the neighbour- hood, who assembled there to indulge in games. On the morning of the fire several children were seen plaving around the stables, and shortly afterwards a Mr John Morris saw smoke issuing from the the building, and the children were then throwing stones into the building. Suspecting that there was something wrong he at once rushed around, and upo/fi' arriving near the stables he found that the childre n had deeamped and that the fire had assumed seriotoa dimensions. He at once gave the alarm, and several at once came to his assistance, resulting as alreadiy stated, in mastering the fire. The stable adjoined Mr Hawkins' house, and some of the rafters from the stable can into the wall of the house, and upon examination. it was found that these were burned almost to their extremities, so that really tøhe residence had a narrow escape. P.S. Morgan made enquiries as to the origin of the fire, and for sometime he was unable to find any trace, bdtt approaching a group of children he was rewarded for his diligence by hearing a little girl relate h01,v she and others were playing there, and one of their number had a box of matches and some paper, anti then this one, more mischievous than the rest, sett fire to the straw. Alarmed by what they had d0n they at once ran away. The building is the property- of the Shropshire Uuion Railway and Canal Company,' and is almost gut'.ed, the roof having fallen in, and one end having given way and been thrown to the 0roond. The damage is ostimatal at between ] AW Md A70. J R.W.W. TRIP.—The annual trip in connection with the Royal, NN"el,h Warehouse was sun to Aber- ystwyth on baturclay last, when an enormous number ot p, rsons availed themselves of the low filre (Is üd) to take a look at the briny."
