THE PRINCE OF WALES'S VISIT I TO INDIA. The Prince of Wales having thoroughly eu- joyed his visit to Poonah, whither he went en Saturday, returned to Bombay on Wednesday and on Thursday went to Baroda, On Wednes- day, his Royal Highness visited the Parsee Powers of Silencp, the Hindoo Temple an d Holy Tank of Wii k híVar, the Government- house at Malabar P.jint, the Hindu burning- ground at Souapore, the Crawford Market, and the European Hospital. In the evening, the Prince entertained a select party at dinner on board the Serapis, and his Royal Highness slept on board. It is expected he will sail for Ceylon on Monday. In the beginning of the week there were alarming rumours in the Daily News that im- pending difficulties with Rassia would cause the Prince of Wales to at once return home. How- ever, it is satisfactory to state that beyond the assertion of a "special correspondent" of the Daily News, there seems no ground for a belief in the statement. Indeed all advices from St. Petersburg point, for the moment, to an op- posite conclusion; and Thursday's Journal de St. Petersbourg says the disquieting ramoare which, perhaps, have given rise to the statement —are the work of Bourse speculators.

THE STRIKE. I Didicated without permission to both Masters and I MIn. Why should the fruitful stream of labour, Be stagnant in the world's wide flood ? Why should man thua oppress his neighbour, In that which forms their social good ? Why should the misdirected mind, Engender feelings thus unkind. Why should the angel form of Commerce, Be clipp'd of its expanding wing Why should the bane of human adverse, Around us dark'ning traces fling ? Oh may such painful themes repose. Where Lethe's stream continuous flows. Be fair-be just on either hand, Conciliate means will form your plan; Whilst interest will cement the bond, And vindicate the rights of man. Thus will you feel how pure a part, That actuates each feeling heart. Be reconciled, and think awhile That home's dear objects claim your care: Where wife and child your hours beguile, Where they your pains, your pleasures share. Oh, man! pray think. and let thy soal Feel Reason's—Nature's stern centiol. f Hereford. 1.'{ovember 161875 LLOYD JON I 1 Hereford, November 16th, 1875. LLOYD JONE& 

The strike continues, with scarcely any change in its features, and many men are continually leaving for other parts of the country. The following reports have come to hand I BRYMBO. I In accordance with the usual fortniaht's notice which was given by the colliers at Brynmally Colliery, all work was suspended there on Satur- day. The managers still objected to the legality of the document giving notice of an advance of 20 per cent., and it is rumoured that legal proceed- ings will be taken against the men for refusing to work. Most of the men are perfectly willing to continue work at the 15 per cent. reduction, but felt rather alarmed at the other collieries in the immediate district standing out against the re- duction. The colliers at the Westminster Colliery, Mess, Brougbton Colliery, and Vron Colliery, are still standing out. Several meetings have been held during the week, but nothing definite determined upon. The Brymbo collieries are in full operation, although an attempt was made on Thursday week by the men from the stand out" collieries to induce the Brymbo colliers to join them in the stand out." On that morning a meeting of colliers was called in the immediate vicinity of Brymbo collieries at 5 o'clock a.m., when upwards of four or five hundred colliers who are standing out assembled and divided themselves into parties of sixty and upwards, rendezvousing around each the Brymbo pits, and as a collier was observed ming to work he was drawn into the gang, and j dissuaded from going to work that day. Subse- quently, the whole force met in Brymbo and re- solved not to work for that day. On Friday a meeting of Brymbo workmen was held on the com- pany's ground, and it was resolved to resume work for another fortnight upon the old terms. The colliery is still guarded in the early morning by several policemen, who perambulate the district and protect the men from any undue intimidation from the other colliers. During the week a gang of colliers drawing a waggon proceeded to the Cae Penty Colliery, loaded it with coal, and drew it by ropes to W rexham for sale, asking for the aid and sympathy of the public in this protracted dis- pate. The walls and doors are still plaearded with anonymous threatening notices addressed in abusive terms to the working colliers. Songs appropriate to the occasion are sung by men who constantly perambulate the district. Several men have left the district for other colliery localities. The majority of the men in the district would willingly resume work at the 15 per cent reduc- tion. I RHOS. Matters remain just the same as reported last week, save that a conference has been held between Mr Barratt, manager of the Hafod Colliery and representatives ef the men, but with what result we have not learnt. The state of matters in the other districts also remains unchanged.

I THE NORTH WALES ENGINE MEN'S STRIKE. The half-yearly report ef The National Federation ef Enginemen's Protection Associa- tions" just issued, refers in the following terms to the above local strike. There are 14 members out on strike in North Wales, against a reduc- tion of 10 per cent. ia their wages, the em- ployers deducting their wages without giving notice, which the men very properly considered a great injustice. And there are eight non-union men out whom the Association has promised to support. and is now appealing for support in order to assist them if possible to stay such tyrannical proceedings on the part of their em- ployers." Mr Rhodes speaking at a meeting of tue North Stafford Enginemen, made the follow- ing remarks bearing on the local Itrike-" The donation to the North Wales men-who were being so unjustly dealt with-he thought was a step in the right direction. He felt bound to say that the action of those employers could not be too strong- ty condemned, and he thought they (the meeting) aalt taken the proper way to snow their indigna- tion, and also to show their sympathy with the poor men under the circumstances. Their Scotch brethren he was glad to tell them, at Dumferline, had shown themselves good men and true by for. warding to the men in North Wales a post-offios order for 25. (Applause). Mr Rhodes said he thought nothing could show plainer the true spirit of unity that existed between the enginemen of Scotland, England, and Wales, and likewise the value of their national federation. That was not all, they asked to bo informed how much was likely to be required to carry on the struggle, so that what was required might he at hand when needed. It showed that their hearts were warm with affection towards each other. That being the case, money would always be flowing to where it was wanted to defend or assist their brethren in trouble." Two of the enginemen on strike living in the company's houses have received notice to quit.

THE ALLEGED REDUCTIONS AT WYNNSTAY COLLIERY. SIR,-A printed paper has been put into my hands, signed by John Rowley, alleging among other things that the reduction made at this colliery on coal cut- ters' wages in 1874 was 15 per cent., and in May, 1875, was also 15 per cent. I should not have noticed this document, but that I perceive a portion of it has found its way into your impression of 13th inst., and I beg to say that both statements are utterly untrue. The first reduction in 1874, taking an average from our pay books of all the cutters employed in the colliery, comes to 91 per cent., and the reduction in May, 1875, taken in the same way, comes to 91 per cent., so that in reality so far from taking 30 per cent. as alleged, we have in the two reductions together taken only 19 per cent., in- stead of the 20 per cent. to which we were entitled. I shall feel obliged by the insertion of this in your next impression, and I think I may say that com- ment is unnecessary.—I am, yours truly, GEO. THOMSON. Ruabon Iron Works, Nov. 17th, 1875. "WELSHMAN" ON THE COLLIERS AND THEIR FRIENDS. Sxit,-Our friends the colliers, having no legto stand upon in the way of argument, have now gone on strike, and, finding they could not live on the wages they got, they are determined to live upon nothing. Of conrse they will not get into debt, and men who were so honourable as to abide by an agreement after they had made it will be above having their victuals on trust. J see by your paper that the brickmakers of Buckley returned to work the other day after a strike of fourteen weeks. They had half-famished their families, got themselves into a great debt, and all for nothing, tor they have gone in at the prices offered them last July. Would it not have been much wiser for them to have gone on working i They would be nearly C20 a head better off had they djne so but they preferred to suffer, and they have received their lesson. The same with the colliers, and I would like to know by how many thousands of pounds they are poorer in this district every week they stand out ? Has One of the Board" sufficient brains to make the calculation ? er is he too busy in explaining to the men that if they only cut off their own noses, they might vex the masters ? The other day I heard one man exclaim with delight, "There is nothing doing at no one goes near the place. They would like for some one to go, but they won't. We'll show them they make a mistake." The poor idiot was so glad that he could vex the masters that he forgot it was by denying himself and his children bread. Is the game worth the candle ? Suppose the masters are vexed, even suppose some of them may be ruined, would that be a sufficient reason for a collier to ruin himself too ? Do the men think they would be benefited by it, or do they believe wages would improve were half the works stopped 1 I don't deny their right to strike; they may do so if they chose; but I doubt their sanity if they strike when there is no possibility of success, and seeing the present position of the labour market, no man in his senses would act as the colliers of North Wales are being persuaded to act. They cannot succeed, except in their own ruin, and it is for them to judge whether they have even the right to ruin their own families, and to blast the fortunes of their children with their own. Permit me, sir, to express my surprise at the course pursued by Mr Lester at this juncture. At the mass (?) meeting over which he presided on the racecourse some weeks ago, he took credit to himself as the originator of arbitration in this district. He praised the principle to the skies, more than hinting that the masters were opposed to it, while the col- liers whom he addressed being more enlightened were in its favor. Since then we have had arbitra- tion, and the award has been given. The men are up in arms against it, but Mr Lester has made no sign. Not a word has he mid. but is doing his very best to murder his own offspring. Every week have I expected to see that he of all men would abide by the great principle which was to do I know not what. He at least would have ad- I vised the men to act with some degree of honour and manliness. Ha he lost the courage of his opinion, or does he fear that to do what the public have a right to expect from him would lessen his popularity with the colliers ? I should have thought it would be more to the interest of truth and peace," had he come for- ward and advised the men to abide by the decision, than by going out of his way to make suggestions that the award was biassed. He talks about truth and peace when he his doing all in his power to make peace impossible. Instead of adopting this straight- forward course he proclaims himself the head of a "North Wales Association of Miners," which is to work wonders in the district, by giving an artificial value to labour, I suppose. This new association he tells us is to be infallible, which is no great wonder seeing he is at the head of it, and we are all aware of his amiabilities in the heat of discussion. 'L mere win De no passion introduced into any discussion conducted by this paragon of modera- tion, but all things will be determined with that calmness of judgment and of temper which so dis- tinguishes Mr Lester, who is, so far as I can under- stand, the Alpha and Omega of the Association. Before our money is asked would it be out of the way to ask Mr Lester to condescend to make some explanation as to the ohj ect of the Association, and above all, as to the security we shall be offered for our money. -Yours, &c., WELSHMAN. P.S.—I do not intend coming out asa candidate for Parliamentary honours at the next election. W. I

RUTHIN COUNTY CounT.-This court was held on Wednesday at Ruthin. The crowded state of our columns prevents our giving a full report of the cases heard. The chief of them was the iutermin- able Farm Case which occapied nearly the whole of the sitting. The parties to the action, i t will be remembered, are Price Parry v Mrs Kendrick, the amount claimed being 250, and the ground of complaint alleged bad farming and con- stq-ent deterioration of land. Mr Louis appeared for plaintiff and Mr Ll. Adams for the defendant. After hearing the whole of the evidence, his Hon- our said he should take time to consider his judg- ment. SAD DEATH OF A WELSH MISER.A. very pain- ful event has just occurred at St. George, between St. Asaph and Abergele. It appears that a man named Edward Roberts, known in the district as Ned Roberts, of;Moelfw," bas for years past been living the life of a miser. He has passed his time in a miserable condition, and has even deprived himself of the cemmon necessaries of life, so anxi- ous was he to hoard his money, until he died in a very sad state. It was generally suspected that he had some property, and since his death it has been found that he was worth over X600. The poor fellow was very respectably connected, some of his relatives being large farmers in the neighbourhood of Rhyl. ALLEGZD MINING SWINDLE.—A peculiar case of alleged swindling in connection with the Lady Constance Lead Mine, near Holywell, has been brought before the Manchester Police Court. Robert C. Sharp, who signed himself as chairman of the company, with a capital of R40,000, Bates Critchlow, the secretary, Henry Austin, and Joseph Eatwistle, alias Grosvenor, were in custody charged Entwistlwe, ith defrauding a Manchester dentist of X2000 by inducing him to take shares in the above mine. The case was adjourned, bail being fixed at two sureties in £500 each for each prisoner. BAND OF ElopE.-The anniversary meeting of the Cefn Mawr Baptist Band of Hope, was celebrated in the English Baptist Schoolroom on Tuesday. The friends of the cause partook of a social cup of tea in the afternoon, and ia the even- ing, an entertainment was held, over which Mr E. Edwards, Rose Cottage, presided, and which was opened by the Cefn amateur brass band, who made their first public appearance and ren. dered the Fiorette Polka in a manner which would have done credit to a professional band. We regret having no room for the full pro- gramme. PARLIAMENTARY NOTICES.—In our list, in another column, of the Parliamentary notices from North Wales, we emit two Board of Trade notices, viz., Flint Gas and Water," and Con- nah's Quay Gas and Water." The first Bill asks for powers for the construction of new works for the supply of water to the borough of Flint, to maintain existing works for the supply of gas and water to the said borougb, power to levy rates, to break up roads and streets, to lay down mains and pipes, to abstract water from lands belonging to or held by the trustees of Miss Maria Emma Elizabeth Conway Griffith, and of John Kingsby Huntley, Esq., to sell or lease undertaking, incor- poration of public Acts, and for other purposes. The second is an application to the Board of Trade for powers to construct gas works and water works, and to manufacture and supply gas, and to supply water within the parishes of Northop, Hawarden, and Mold, and adjoining townships and places, all in the county of Flint, to levy rates, &c., pursuant to the Gas and Water Works Facilities Act, 1870. FATAL ACCJDENT AT COLWYN STATION.—On Friday week, an inquest was held at the White Horse lun, Mochdre, before Dr. Evan Pierce, coroner, and a respectable jury, on the body of Thomas Wynne, a youth aged 19, who was killed near the ballast hole at Colwyn Station on the previous Monday. A verdict of "Acci- dentally killed" was returned. At a certain stage of the proceedings something of a scene" took place between the Coroner and a medical ow a witness, wno came into court without removing his hat. The Coroner, on observing that the witness had his hat on, asked him if he was not aware that he was in a court of justice ? to which the latter replied that he was not, asking, at the same time, if the inquest wasn't over ? On being answered in the negative, the witness said there was "no harm done," after all.-The Coroner: Well, whether there is or not, I can fine you £10, ani I shall do it, if the rules of the court are not immediately complied with.—The offending hat was ultimately removed. RETURN HOME OP THE HON. G. S. DOUG&AS PENNANT, M.P., AND HIS BBIDE.-On Thursday Bangor was en fete ta welcome home the Hon. G. S. Douglas Pennant, M.P., and the Hon. Mrs Pennant (nee Miss Gertrude Jessie Glynne, daughter of the late Rev. Canon Glynne, Hawar- den, and niece to the ex-Premier, the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P.). The inhabitants spared neither expense nor trouble to give due eclat to the occasion. Triumphal arches were erected by the receptiou committee and by several private individuals and tradesmen, and the decorations were general, the by-streets vying with High-street—the principal thorough- fare-in doing honour to the houses of Penrhyn and Hawarden. Flags waved everywhere, and molt3es were profuse, all bidding welcome to the happy pair, and expressing the best wishes for their welfare. In the morning, medals com- memorative of the event were distributed by members of the committee to the pupils at the various day schools. In the afternoon the friendly societies assembled at their lodge-rooms and marched two deep to the Railway Hotel, at the entrance of the railway station, where they were marshalled in order. The general com- mittee assembled at the magistrates'-room shortly after two o'clock p.m., and proceeded in the same order to the railway station, headed by the fine band of the Royal Carnarvonshire Militia. The committee, 3rd Anglesey Artillery Volunteers, Coastguard, Bangor Fire Brigade, and the Bangor Choral Society assembled in the station-yard. On the arrival of the train con- taining Mr and Mrs Pennant, who were greeted with a most enthusiastic reception, a congratu- latory and complimentary address was pre- sented. The address was read by Mr Roberts, postmaster of Bangor, the hen. sec., and the Hon. G. S. D. Pennant having suitably acknow- ledged it, and the Bangor Choral Society bavinc, sung a special piece, amidst deafening cheers the station was left. The progress of the pro- cession through the town was marked by con- tinued ovations. At Port Penrhyn lodge, the entrance to Penrbyn Park, the procession opened out and allowed the carriage to pass into the park. The procession then re-formed, and marched back to town, and then at night the towa was brilliantly illuminated, and the shipping in the harbour made a pretty display. A grand ex- hibition of fireworks, supplied by Messrs Brock and Co., pyrotechnits to the Crystal Palace Company, took place in the evening upon Garth Hill. The demonstrations were continued yes- terday, their chief feature being the enteitiin- ment by the committee to the old people of the paruD. Mr and Mrs Douglas Pennant will visit Bethesda on Tuesday. A bi-lingual address will be presented to Mr Pennant; and Mr Arthur Wyatt, the chief manager of. Lord Penrhyn's slate quarries, will present the Hon. Mrs Doug- las Pennant with a magnificent gold bracelet, the wedding gift of Lord Penrhyn's 3,000 quarrv- men. There were also demonstrations on Thursday at Carnarvon, Beaumaris, and in other towns in the district, which are connected with the Penrhyn family by territorial ties.

MOLD. I bociAL GATHERING AT PONT BLYDDYN.-On Tuesday a social gathering of the Sunday School teachers and singers of the parish took place at the invitation of the Vicar (Rev. P. Davies) at the National Sohool. After partaking of the good things provided for them and thanking Mr Davies for his kindness  the ??' and Mrs D?S Iannd d Mra Dyson for ,re8i4ing at the tables, the meeting resolved itself into a committee to discuss' matters in connection with the parish) I GOOD TEMPLABY.—On Friday, in last week, t another open sessioa in connection with the "Pioneer Lodge," was held in the Calrinhtic i Methodist school. Mr R. P. Everett presided, and a capital programme was gone through. Among those who took part were Messrs. G. C. Williams, W. Birch, W. Jones, T. Wheldon, Mrs Hughes, Misses Minshull and Lloyd. A vote of thanks was proposed by the Rev. D. B. Hooke, seconded by Mr Lloyd, and given to all who had helped to provide such a pleasant and profitable evening. On Friday next there will be another open session, for which am excelleat programme has been issued. SUDDEN DEATH.—Our obituary this week cont tains a notice of the death of Miss Margare- Eaton, of the Cross. We understand, she was out on Friday, and though not robust in health, with nothing particular to complain of, so that news of ker death on Saturday was received with surprise, while great sympathy was manifested with the family. She was buriel on Wednesday amidst every mark of respect, most of the blinds being drawn and the fhops partly closed. She had been an active Church Sunday School teacher for years, and was esteemed by all who knew Ler as a pious good girl, perhaps the very highest compliment that could be paid to anyone. ACCIDENT AT THE BEDFORD COLLIERY.—A very serious aecident occured at the above colliery on Sunday morning about four o'clock. It appears that two men named Robert Rowland and Edward Parry, the former the engine winder, and the latter attending a small engine in the pit, were talking together on the bank- At the hour named Parry went into the carrier to be let down, but by some inattention Rewland set the engine going the wroig way, and took the carrier up to the wheel, and then stopped and let it down, but the rope had come off, so there was a jerk, and when the carrier descended it struck against some part of the conducting wire, throwing Parry out with great violence. There was a compound fracture of the left leg. He was attended to in a few minutes by Dr. Edwards, who took him to the Chester Infirmary during the day, where, we learn, he it doing well. HORRIBLE SUICIDE.—The town was consider- bly startled on Thursday night by the report that William Hughes, only son of Mrs Hughes, the Britannia Inn, Wrexham-street had commit- ted suicide. 'Having made some inquiries, we find the following particulars to be somewhere near the truth. It appears that in the afternoon he was bringing a pony home, and. by some mis- hap he rode over a little girl. The child was more frightened than hurt, however, though she was a little bruised. Hughes went on home, and some time afterwards, Mr Morris went down there to see him. Immediately the deceased saw Mr Morris he left the house, and nothing more was seen of him. In about an hour, or it might be a little more, it was near ten o'clock, the deceased's cousin, Thomas Hughes, son of Mr John Hughes, builder, went to see for him, and on opening the door of the shippon, immediately behind the house, he found him hung up by the neck. Thomas then ran out and informed Police Constables Derrick and Pearson, who, fortunately, were on the street, they returned with him and cut the deceased down, when they found him to be quite dead and partly cold. Information was then given to In- spector Minshall and Dr. Williams, who came down. and had the body removed to the house. This event, coming after so many of a serious character, has cast considerable gloom over the minds of many. It was on Tuesday night that an old man, aged 74, died very suddenly in his bed in Prince's-court, and there have been other sudden deaths besides, including the servant man of Dr. Roberts, Pont blyddyn, who was found dead in his chair. BAPTIST CHAPEL. The fonrtb of a series of popular entertainments was held at the above chapel on Wednesday, under the presidency of Mr John Morgan. The programme was as follows:— I Address.

THE MISSION. I it is with the greatest pleasure that we notice a step in advance made by any church or party. For a long time we have been accustomed to think that the Established Church, secure in its own. self,sufficiency was above copying the example of those whom it regarded as schismatics and heretics, so that the announcement of a mission" to be held in the Parish Church struck the parishioners with surprise. But why call it a mission? Our friends, the Wesleyans and the Primitives, from whom the idea is evidently eopied, with perhaps an idea or two from Moody and Sankey, have called the same thing re- vival services." and why should our Episcopal friends not follow suit ? But, What is in a name ?" the thing evidently was there, and we will not quarel about names. The services were de- cided upon by the Church," which, according to modern teaching in the Establishment, can- not err, and, to show that none of the parish- ioners" are of the Church, and that the the church to them is something objective," the whole thing was decided upon without consulting them. However, it was announced, and the "mis- sionary was to be the Rev. C. J. Ridgway, vicar of Buckhurst Hill, Essex. Who this gentleman might be nobody knew, his name and fame were alike unknown to the parishioners" of Mold. Probably, he was an old man, grown grey in the service of his Master; but unlike the rose, born to blush unseen,"destined to awaken some morning to find himself famous. Large placards were printed, and profusely distributed, with such words as "Come to the mission," "To-night," &c., &a. This, said the people, must be some- thing extraordinary, and they made up their minds to go and see what it was like. Some of them attended on Saturday night last, when they were told the services were not to be at all emo- tional. That would be too close an imitation of the model, and would ba entirely beneath the dig- nity of a Church which prides itself on being by law established," and cla;ms to be the only pur- veyor Of salvation in England and Wales. At chapel, they cannot get en without emotion, that is the secret of the success of the devil with his worshippers, but in church, the appeal is only to the reason. We cannot help thinking that the caution was altogether unnecessary. There is nothing in the rev. gentleman's talents or tem- perament calculated to affect the emotions in any way, he being oae of those who, in attempting to be effective, only succeeds in being affected. How- ever, he is only young, and may improve with time and experience. The service, we beg pardon the mission, was continued on Sunday and following days up to to-morrow. The congregations all along have been good, and with a large sprinkling of the class for which the mission was intended-a sign we could not help rejoicing at, though we thoroughly disagreed with the theological tenden- cies of the preacher- On the week-day evenings the church was full, but the only one we attended was on Wednesday night, when there was a large attendance, though some of the seats, especially in the north aisle, were empty. The choir was distributed through the congregation with the result that the singing was more congregational in its character than is generally the case ia the parish church. The service was wholly conducted by the missionary, the only singularity being the genuflexions and facing to the east of the con- ductor. At the close of the prayers we had a sermon, the preacher, instead of ascending the pulpit, standing on the steps of the chancel in front of the communion table, and taking his text about the woman that was healed ef the bloody issue. The sermon was formed on the medel of those of the Fathers in the third and fourth generation, being allegorical in character but wholly wanting in the quaintness and the verve-if we may use the word-which distin- guished those. There was nothing in it nor in the manner of its delivery calling for attention, beyond the fact that sometimes the preacher was inarticulate. At its close a hyma was sung, that beautiful ona of Cowper's beginning There is a fountain filled with blood, but, in our humble opinion, the effect of it was spoiled ? by the introduction after each verse of that modern abomination- I will believe, I do believe, &c., and the tune was anything but adapted to the vrorjs. ihe hymn being sung, the preacher toolt off his surplIce and appeared in his cassock, an 1 begm what Le called his 'I instruction." Tae tet here was Jacob'a ladder, or the sinoei's way to heaven, in which he placed four rounds, which were-the conviction of sin, crying for mercy and the knowledge of pardon, repentance, and hatred of sin. He dilated on the difference between knowledge and feeling. Feeling was not to be trusted at all, seeing that it might change, but the desideratum was the knowledge of pardon, and if we asked for pardon, God. would not be less than his word, we shoald know we were pardoned, and that was something above and apart from the feelings, but the preacher did not explain how a man was to know, he was pardoned without that having its effect on his feelings, so long as man is man, and is possessed of emotion. Besides, according to his own teaching, even knowledge depended upon faith, and he did not say that a man's faith was always the same, conse- quently the knowledge, in the sense he used it, must be as fluctuating as the feelings. Again, he placed pardon before repentance, which is clearly not according to scripture, but we forget, as according to modera idea, the Bible is of no use to our Church friends except at an election for a School Board. At the conclusion of the instruc- tion he said, My Church authorizes me to say, that if any of you are oppressed by the knowledge of your sins, you may come to me and confess them, so that you may have absolution and go to your hemes with a peacetui conscience. ne begged they would do so. The service soon after closed, and as the people left the church a small tract containing a series of questions for self- examination was placed in their hands. Among the questions was the following, which some people might well put to themselves-" Have I ever been guilty of mean actions, such as reading other people's lettere?

I DEATH OF CAPTAIN PHILIPS. 1, It is with unfeigned regret that we record the death of the above-named gentleman, who was highly esteemed in this neighbourhood for his kindness of heart and upright character. He was in the pride of his manhood and strength, and never was he seen to look stronger and better than he did on Monday afternoon last, when he walked down the streets of Mold. He was then going to attend a meeting of the Burial Board at 3 the new cemetery grounds. He was, we are 'n- formed, iu excellent spirits, chatting with great freedom with all the members. A little before five he left them, apologising for having to go so 6 soon, as he had a party at Rhual. He returned | home quite well, where, owing to the mi". sion services in the Parish Church, 9 there was an early dinner. Among the dinner party on the occasion, there were the Very Rev. the Dean of St. Asaph and the Yen. Archdeacon Ffoulkes. Captain Philips naturally took the head of the table, and had just finished serving the soup, when he suddenly complained of a violent pain in his right temple, but went on with his dinner a few moments longer. His speech coming thick, it was seen that something serious was the matter, and Dr. Trubshaw was immediately sent for, who, on his arrival, saw that the hand of death was upon him, but at the same time advised that Dr. Dobie, of Chester, should be telegraphed for. This was done, and he arrived in Mold by the last train 'Nlold by the last train from Chester, and drove up to Rhual without loss of time, reaching the house a few minutes after ten. The deceased was then sinking fast, and died in ten minutes afterwards, not having been taken out of the dining-room. The cause of death was apoplexy. ■ Captain Philips was the representative of one of the oldest and most respected families in the neighbourhood, but we are not sufficiently ac- quainted with its genealogy to place the family tree before the public. He was the second son of the late Colonel Philips, and entered the army at an early age, the regiment being the 3Gih, where he obtained his captaincy in 1856. He served with the regiment in India, and arrived home with it soon af:er the conclusion of the Crimean war. Having been 10 years a captain, he by ibe death of his elder brother, the late F. Philips, Esq., became entitled to the estate. He sold out of the army, coming to reside at Rhual, and qualified as a magistrate of the county on the 24th of January, 18b7, the same day with W. Johnson, Esq., the present Mayor of Chester. In the years 1872-3 he v as High Sheriff of the county, and fulfilled the duties to general satisfaction. From a six years' acquaintance of him as a magistrate, we can speak of him only in the highest terms. He al- ways acted with great conscientiousness, and from his genial constitution of mind, could not but temper justice with mercy. There may have been others on the Bench who had a quicker insight into the merits of a case, but there were none who brought to bear upon it a more upright Judgment, nor a greater desire to de right. He always took much interest in parochial affairs, and his loss will be severely felt in the district of Gwernaf- field, where he took a prominent part in the building of the new church, and in the manage- ment of the National school. He was also a prominent member of the Gwernymynydd, Llan- ferres, and Gwernaffield Cottage Gardener J and Horticultural Society, giving up much of his time to these purposes, His whole bearing was so genial and so full of good nature that he stood very high in the public estimation, and when the Burial Board was formed same time ago, he was one of the four chosen to represent the Church. Again, on the election of a School Board, he was one of the candidates of the Church party, and was returned. Since both elections he had won the respect of all his colleagues on both Boards by his courteous demeanour and .his evident de; sire to be of service to the public. We don't know that we have more to say, except again to express our regret at the untimely and sudden death of one who, in his own person, realised the idea of a perfect gentleman. His funeral is to take place to-day, and the friends and well wishers of the family are invited to meet the members of the School and Burial Boards in the County Hall field at ten minutes to eleven, and then form a procession to meet the funeral cortege. An occasional correspondent writes as follows —Captain Philips, on the Bench, was always most anxious to get at the truth, hardly ever showed a biassed spirit, and the writer was struck more than once with the fairness of his principle in game cases. The deceased,, like other country gentlemen, was a preserver of game, and took much pleasure in game pursuits, yet he could ad- judicate in a game case as. impartially as one ef assault, which to some gentlemen is too much of a task. Mr Philips was a man of few words, but the questions he gave now and again were pertinent and suggestive, and though his observations ware at times abrupt and otirt his good nature restrained him from giving severe sentences, and heavy penalties except in very bad and flagrant cases. His kind and generous nature was speci- ally shown a few hours before his death. On Saturday last a "Ticket of Leave Man" was brought before him and Col. Wills, charged with infringing the conditions endorsed on his license The prisoner pleaded guilty and seemed willing to submit to whatever course the bench decided upon. He had spent the money given him as the fruit of his earnings whilst in servitude, to enable him to go to France. He was penniless, and afraid of being apprehended without his license, which was retained at Liverpool. Mr Philips ex- pressed his regret that there was no place pro- vided for people of this unfortunate class to assist them to lead a new and better life. The defendant was remanded to await an answer from the convict prison. He was sorry -or the man and as ha could not attend on the following day he handed two shillings to the police inspector to assist him to leave Mold if discharged. Captain Philips will be missed on the bench, and in the various committees of the county magistrates His bereaved wife has lost a particularly kind husband, the children an affectionate father, and the widows, fatherless, and poor generally, a chari- table neighbour.

I m_- r1>- BRYMBO. I m r\ ? .LkiN UFUNING OF XSHYNTEQ SCHOOLS.-A.t a special meeting of the Broughton School Board held oa Friday (present, Mr William Griffins! Miss Dorcas Hayes, aad Mr Peleg Jones), it was resolved to open the above schools on the 29th inst., by a public meeting and concert. Sir Robt. Ounhffe, Bart., will preside, and Mr Henry Robert- son, M. P., and other local gentlemen, are ex- pected to deliver addresses. INQUEST.—An inquest was held on Saturday, at the Running Horses Inn, Frood, before B. H. Ihelwall, Esq., on the body of Lucy Jones, aged 27 years, the wife of Mr William Jones, engine- driver, of Windy Hill, who died very suddenly on the 11th inst. From the evidence of the hus- band, it appears that the deceased had been con- fiued two or three weeks before her death, and had no doctor with her, being only attended by the nurse. She was recovering very nicely, but on the night of the 10th inst. was taken with violent pain in the head. The doctor was at once sent for, but she expired before medical aid arrived. Mrs Martha Williams corroborated the evidence, and the jury returned a verdict of Died by the visitation of God."
