Chester, March 5, 1858. I have suffered from rheumatic ppiips in my arms and legs for over five years. I also had a bruised shiubone, through which I could rest only for a few minutes at a time. All sorts of remedies -were applied, but none did any good for more thin a few day. I wa, recommenderl to try Clarke's Blood Mixture, which I did, und on taking the first bottle I felt relief. I was told that 11 bottles would effect a perfect cure. I only tnok nine bottles and a half,which co t me 2s frl per bottle. It is now ten months since, and T hwe not felt the least pain-in filet, I am perfect in my walk, and an-, in as good bealth as ever I was in my life. Moreover, I told two friends of mine who were laid up with rheumatic p »ins of my cure, and they tried your Clarke's B:ood Mixture. They are tailors by trade, any in seven dv.s they were at work aain, and they say it cannot be too highly praised.-Hoping I am not intruding I remain yours sincerely, G. HOWAIITH.

THE Chief Constable presented bills for zE52 133 Id to the Denbighshire Polioe Com- mittee for expenses incurred in the recent tithe distraints. A protracted discussion terminated in the appointment of a committee of inqu ry. Is drunkenness on the increase in Flintshire The subject was referred to at the meeting at Mold, on Wednesday, of the Police Committee, and about which there was some difference of opinion. AN enthusiastic meeting, the last of a series arranged by Cardiganshire Liberal Association, haa this week been addressed at Aberystwyth by Mr Labouchere. A hearty reception was accorded Mr Labouchere, who delivered a vigorous speech, in which, referring to Lord Salisbury's Tithe Bill, he said that if he had any advice to offer to Welshmen, it would be, Don't pay a shilling of tithes, but let the clergyman's agent come and distrain for it at his own peril."

IN important and representative gathering of is Liberals met at Rhyl on Saturday, when it was 11 unanimously agreed to form a County Liberal ° Association. 11 a A serious affray between police and poachers a took place on flolt bridge at midnight on Snn- a day One of the men was sentenced at Wrexham f on ?M? onday to three months' imprisonment. c A largely-attended meeting was held at a Towyn, on Saturday, to promote a local Volun- teer corps. Not the least interesting feature of t the proceedings was the speech by Sergeant- I Instructor Jones. t THIS week the Inspector of the Board of Agriculture has been inquiring as to the suc- t cess which has followed the efforts of the agricultural department of the University I College of North Wales. < THE North Wales Liberal Federation is not relaxing its vigilance on the disestablishment question. At its last meeting it was decided to again bring the subject before the National. Liberal Federation at Sheffield. 1 AT the Court Leet at Holt, the Deputy Steward took a hopeful view of the town's future prospects. It waa felt that a branch line to Wrexham was a pressing want, and a present- ment was drawn up for the consideration of Sir Edward Watkin. THE Church Congress of 1891, which is to be held at Rhyl, promises to be as succes-f til as the most ardent of its friends would wish. The Bishop of St. Asaph presided on Friday over a meeting attended by clergy aud laity, when committees were appointed to make the neces- sary arrangements. Upwards of £1;000 was promised in aid of the guarantee fund. IN our correspondence columns, Mr A.. N. Palmer urges the electors to press the candi- dates for municipal honors to give a favorable pronouncement as to the Free Library's claim for at least a substantial reduction, if not total remission, of rent. Mr Palmer says that unless increased financial support is received, the supply of newspapers and magazines will have to be discontinued. THE tone of the speeches at the Shepherds Anniversary at Wrexham, on Monday, was very satisfactory. The speakers included the Chief Shepherd, General Secretary, and Mr E. S. Clark, who delivered useful and instructive addresses. The important question of super- annuation, which is now engaging general attention, was, amongst other matters, under discussion.

Friendle-s W rexhOlm. J OTHER towna are happy in the I p0S3e33lou of friends quick to see I an opportunity for devoting their I wealth to useful channels. Let us take the case of Bolton, which, possessing four parka with an area of some 100 acres, is now to possess another, at a cost of £ 20,000. This is the gift of Mr J. P. Thomasson, a former representative of the borough in Parliament. Within the grounds of the new park are a first-class library and museum, and one of the finest bathing ponds in the country. There are also lawn tennis grounds, bowling green, and gymnasium. I The Corporation, too, lias done its part by the expenditure of £ 10,000 in laying out the grounds and adapting a mansion for a museum. This isiiot the only occasion when Mr Thomasson has evinced in such a practical way his interest in the town, as he has previously contributed upwards of £ 20,000 for educational and recreative purposes. Wrexham has many wants, and aadlv needs a helping hand to supply them. Who will coma to the rescue ? Whoever does will earn the gratitude of a town which has long I been vainly endeavouring to interest those who have the means in its unhappy lot. I

Intermediate i Education. 1 1 WE are this week able to give a list of thoae towns in Denbighshire which have been selected by the
[No title]
Joint Education Committee of the county as suitable and convenient as the sites of inter- mediate schools. They are LIanrwst, Abergle, Denbigh, Ruthin, Llangollen, Ruabon, and Wrexham. No objection can be taken, we I think, to the locations, for the county is well covered, and none of the schools are out of reach of the population. Neither will objection be made to the decision that girls should have advantages equal to the boys. The Committee have acted very wisely, and we are sure Welsh- people will no IV do their part. The matter has now passed from the Committee to the people, and the question is are the localities willing to find the necessary funds "1 Everything depends upon local enterprise. The time of talking and inquiring has passed, and the time for good, hard, honest work, has arrived. We hope that no effort will be spared to establish the schools, and that all the districts named—including dear old sleepy Wrexhaiu- will arouse themselves to their great task. —

Eccles. AMONG the many blessings which I come from Lancashire are Eccles I cakes. Perhaps the application of the term blessings to those tasty articles of I doubtful digestive properties may be disputed, and not wishing to be disputative we waive the cakes and say election." The result of the long and severe fight for the seat in the Eccles Division has been a glorious victory for Liberalism and the Irish cause. We notice that some of the Tory newspapers are saying that the fight was not upon the Irish question, but upon side issues. Lord Hartington, however, thought differently, for in a telegram he sent a day or two before the polling he stated that the issue would be taken Oil Home Rule. This surely must be taken as final, and no ingenuity of Tory writers can explain that away. And supposing that could be done, the fact that a Conservative majority of 292 in 1886 has been turned into a Liberal one of 205 is still more difficult to dispel. The circumstances of the fight are remarkable. The vacancy was caused by the death of the Hon. A. J. Egerton (C), and the candidates were Mr Henry John Roby (L), and the Hon. A. F. Egerton (C.) The fight was long and severe, and guns of very heavy metal were Bred on both sides, and on Wednes- day night when the votes were counted Mr Roby was found to have had 4.901 votes against 4,696 cast for his Tory opponent. It will thus be seen that 9 597 electors voted, while in 1886 only 8,871 polled. Compared with 1885, the Liberal vote has increased by 589, and the Tory by 137 only. The Liberal vote on Wednesd ty was 916 more than in 1886 No doubt the Standard is right when it says that the victory was explained by Liberals who abstained from voting in 1886 returnirg to their flag. The moral of this bye election is the same as the others-the days of darkness and injustice in Ireland are numbered. To Welshmen, too, the result is gratifying, for Mr Roby is pledged to Welsh disestablishment. This is a pleasant indication of the progress this question is making in England, aud we do hope that no time will be lost to press our claims upon the generous instincts of the great English nation. Welsh- men have their minds made UD. What is now wanted is to lay our case before that Eng lish jury, and we have no fear for the verdict. ♦

Genl. Booth's Book. GENERAL BOOTH, the head of that wonderful organization known as the Salvation Army has written a book entitled "In Darkest Jingland and The Way Out." It is divided into two parts-the first dealing with the condition of the country, and the second with the deliverance from the terrible incubus of vice and crime which is described with great vigor in the first portion. General Booth paints a picture which is horrible. He has means of obtaining infor- mation which few others can have, and the statements made in the book are astounding, j The writer does not hide his meaning in a cloud of words, but speaks out honestly and fearlessly, with the result that few books we have read have so completely claimed attention from the beginning to the end as this terrible, but hope- ful book. The fundamental idea of the scheme is that in order to save the souls of those who have;been trodden under foot, and treated as the off-scourings of all things, you must show some sympathy with their bodily needs before you can expect them to listen to you when you pro- fess anxiety for the salvation of their souls." This is the good common sense which is at the foundation of the General's idea, and the only wonder is that, it has not been more generally recognized. That this has not been done is abundantly clear, and in the following burning and scathing words, the position is stated :— What a satire it is upon our Christianity and our civilization that the existence of these colonies of heathens and savages in the heart of our capital should attract so little attention It 9 no better than a ghastly mockery—theologians ] night use a stronger word—to call by the name < )f One who came to seek and to save that which (I was lost, those churches, which in the midst if jost multitudes, either sleep in apathy, or display! I & fitful interest in a chasuble. Why all thia i apparatus of temples and meeting-houses to ( save men from perdition in the world which is I to come, while never a helping hand is stretched out to save them from the inferno of their I' present life ? Is it not time that, forgetting for a moment their wranglings about the infinitely little or infinitely obscure, they should concen- trate all their energies on a united effort to break this terrible perpetuity of perdition, and to rescue, some at least, of those for whom they profess to believe their Founder come to die." The scheme which is proposed for the reforma- tion of the present ghastly state of things is too wide to be referred to inany but thebroadestout- line. General Booth's proposal deals with the character of the individual benefited, and with the circumstances which predispose to crime and vice. This opens up a large question, and for the details of the scheme we must refer our readers to the book itself. If nothing comes of the proposal, the publication of the volume with its true dreadful story wiM have done a noble part in caUing increased attention to this subject. ♦

Superannuation THE North Wales Miners' Par- j manent Relief Society is speedily fulfilling its promise to deal with i the question 01 snpe annuation. I he ?unjec. is ) of the greatest iwpùrtace to working men, and we are glad to see that in North Wales there is a laudable desire to adopt a practical scheme. There are many difficulties in the way, and these were indicated in the thoughtful paper read at Chester, on Saturday, by Mr W. Watson, secretary of the V, eat Riding of York- shire Miners' Permanent Relief Fund. Mr Watson, who speaks with authority, says that, t) ensure success, three points must not be lost sight of. The scheme must be safe, popular, and workable. To comply with these con- ditions, the co-operation of lessors, masters, and men is essential. They are given by Mr Watson the experience gained elsewhere, with a view to their avoiding the mistakes which had caused others so much trouble. He also gives statistical information of a valuable nature, which will afford matter for contemplation. It is evident that the greatest care must be exercised before the Society commits itself to any definite c uirse; of action. The proposed enlargement of the Society's work has been undertaken, as every collier understands, solely with an intention tv: benefit him. The work, as far as the employers j are concerned, is purely unselfish and dis- interested. It is, we take it, following out the principles inculcated by our great Friendly Societies, which, as Mr Watson readily acknow- ledges, have done a really wonderful work. It is another lesson in thrift and self-reliance, The collier may soon expect to see the move- merit take practical shape, ensuring for him a certainty that when old age overtakes him he will run no risk of becoming a pauper. He will be shown how he can secure an honorable, if small, competence as a reward for some self- denial in earlier life. The collier's case, as we have more than once pointed out, is one of peculiar hardship. The ordinary artisan finds no difficulty in being admitted a member of the various Friendly Societies, but the collier, owing to the perilous nature j of his occupation, has but a cold welcome. This has been recognised by the formation of organisations such as the North Wales Perma- nent Relief Society. The employers have; loyally and generously aided in relieving the distress caused by mining accidents, and they are now endeavoring to see if they cannot com- plete the good wor,{ hy providing a superannua- tioii fund. There are others interested in mining whose support is solicited. We refer to the lessors, who, as our readers are aware, have as a body done practically nothing. We under- stand that the Duke of Westminster is giving his attention to the matter of lessors' contribu- tiens, and it is probable that before long the resources of the Society will be substantially strengthened by the aid received from the owners of minerals. The Society can look back with satisfaction to an eminently beneficent 'I' career, while its future operations promise to become increasingly important

THE Mayor and Mayoress of Wrexham (Dr. and Mrs H. V. Palin) were amongst those present at Ii the ball given by the Lord Mayor of London at the Mansion House on Wednesday evening. We must remind our readers of the lecture which I the Right Hon. G. Osborne Morgan, Q.C., M.P., will give on Friday next, October 31st, in aid of Wrexham Free Library. The subject will be, Twenty-two years' personal remineacenses of the House of Commons." The subject is very attrac- tive, and we believe the lecture will be full of amusing anecdotes. The Hon. G. T. Kenyon has kindly consented to take the chair, and the audience will have the uncommon pleasure of observing the lion and the lamb appearing together for the benefit of an excellent institution.

On Wednesday evening quite a sensation was I na quite a sensat i on -.vaa caused at the Central Station by the flight of a pheasant over the carriages iot > the goods yard. The porters immediately gave chase, stones, sticks, and hats being employed in the endeavour to affect its capture, but without result. A BRACE OF COLLIERY ACCIDENTS.—This week two men, one named Ed. Davies working at Gate- wen, and the other John Evans, working at Rhos- ddu Colliery, have been admitted into the Wrex- I ham Infirmary with broken legs obtained while at their work. Both are doing well. A CRANE ACCIDENT.—On Thursday morning a man named George Monk, employed at the Central Station Goods-shed, was engaged with the crane when his hand became entangled in the wheels, with the result that one of his fingers was cut off. He was taken to the Infirmary and Mr R, Drink- water attended to him. FINE GROWTH.—Messrs Strachan and Evaus, seedsmen, have now on view at their shop in High- street some fine Long Red Mangels, grown by Mr Sylvester, March wiel, and Mr El wards, Bersham two fine globe mangels, weighing 20.Vlbs. and 19!bs. respectively, and specimens of the ttousham Park and Nuneham Park, grown by Mr Brereton, Isycoed. All these fine samples were grown from seed supplied by Messrs Strachan and Evans. A WONDKKEUL ESCAPE.—On Wednesday morn- ing William Sylvester, a platelayer employed on the Great Western Railway, was brought into the Wrexham Infirmary suffering from a crushed foot. It seems that the injured man was walking along the line to his work and the morning was foggy. The result is the old one—stepping out of the way of one train, he stepped into the way of another. He was knocked down and so injured that his foot has been amputated. Mr R. Drinkwater, the house surgeon, states that he is doing well. HARVEST THANKSGIVING SERVIUES AT HIGH- TOWN CHURCH —Harvest thanksgiving services were commenced at St. John's Church, Hightown, on Friday evening. The church was very beauti- fully decorated. There was a large congregation, and the Rev. Joseph Davies, Holywell, preached. On Sunday the services were continued, when the preachers were the Rev. J. Silas Evans, Rhosrobin, in the morning, and the Rev. W. T. Davies, Ruabon, in the evening. The offertories were in aid of the funds of the Church Pastoral Aid Society. A.OF.-The Wrexham District have received the report of their third quinquennial valuation of the assets and liabilities of the district from the valuer appointed, Mr J. Blossom, Sheffield. The total liabilities are £ 13,134, and total assets £19,665, or a relative degree of solvency of 21s 5.1 in the f. Five Courts have a total surplus of £ 1.792. T hree Courts have a total deficiency of X231. leaving a net surplus in the whole district of £1,531. Court Robin Hood, held at the Feathers Hotel, Wrexham, although established less than fifteen years, and having a total worth of funds at June 30th, 1890. of over £ 1,4S4, have a surplus of JE651 over all their liabilities. ODDFELLOWS AND SUPERANNUATION. The desirableness of inaugurating a superannuation fund was referred to at the Loyal Cambrian Lodge, M. U., on Monday night. It was pointed out that f after the explicit declaration at the Ipswich A.M.C., there could be in future no pretext for a lodge J granting sick pay to members who were unable to work owing to old age. In the course of a dis- cussion, while it was thought that members of many years' standing ought to be assisted in their old age, it was agreed there was but one way in which this could be done, by forming a super- annuation fund. The subject, it was understood, would be again referred to, with a view to its being considered by a committee. "A MAN'S SHA t)ow. "-Thanks to the enter- prise of Mr Edgar, local audiences have an oppor- tunity, extending over three nights, of seeing this remarkably fine drama, at St. James' Hall. The play has been adapted from the French play of Roger la Honte," by Robert Buchanan, and is a finished work of art. The company is a particularly fine one, and too much praise cannot be given to Miss Lucy Sibley as "Julie," Miss Flossie Linton as the child Suzanne," Miss Alice Yorke as; Henriette." Mr Ed. Beecher as Lucien Laroque and Luversan," and Mr Murray Hawthorne, as Raymond de Noirvelle." Those of our readers who like a good play and good acting, should visit, St. James' Hall. The visit terminates to-night' (Saturday). TRIP TO LIVERPOOL.—On November 3rd, the 5reat Western Railway will run a one or three I t lays trip to Liverpool. ] PRICHARD MEMORIAL FUND. All intending t subscribers will kindly note that the list of dona- ;ions in aid of the above fund will be closed October 31st. POLICE CHANGES. In consequence of the 1 resignation of Sergt. Evans, rural sergeant for the I ( iistrict of Wrexham, a vacancy has been caused. We learn that the stripes will be given to P.C. Morgan, of Chirk. 11 S.P.G.—Our readers will remember the sale of work which will be opened by Mrs Sturkey, on Friday, October 31st, at three o'clock, in St. James' ] School, in aid of the funds of the S.P.G. There 1 will be a concert at eight o'clock. ACCIDENT AT THE GREAT WESTERN STATION.— ] Ou Tuesday, as a man, named John Davies, in the 1 employ of the Great Western Railway Company, 1 was crossing the line, he slipped on the rails and < sustained an injury to his ankle. IMPORTANT TO SHOP ASSISTANTS.—There is a 1 movement on foot in the town to establish an Assistants' Association. This, we understand, is distinct from an Early Closing Association, and has wider aims. It is intended, at an early date, to call a meeting of the assistants to consider the question in all its bearings. BAPISMAL SERVICE —A baptismal service was held last Sunday evening at Chester-street Baptist Chapel, when there was an exceedingly large con- gregation. The Rsv Philip A. Hudgell preached on The man for the times,,r taking as his text Numbers xiv, 24, and at the close immersed three periou-, Next Tuesday night, the Right Rolli. G. Osborne Morgan, Q.C., -#I. r will address- his constituents in the National Schools, Rossett. The chair will be taken, at eight o'clock, by Mr Thomas Chilton,, and addresses will be delivered by Mr William Thomas, J,P., Mr Samuel Moss (deputy-chairman of the Denbighshire County Council), Mr W. B. Sadler, and other gentlemen. THE FRASER QUINTE-rrE.-On Friday and Satur- day this talented quintette of sisters, assisted by Mr Harry Williams, tenor, will give concerts in St. James' Hall, at eight o'clock each evening. These young ladies, who have appeared before the Prince and Princess of Wales, are very highly spoken of. We hope that all lovers of good and high-class music will throng the hall. THE PEARL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY.—We publish an advertisement, which lefers to this flourishing company, and those who are interested will be pleased to learn of the increasing prosperity which attends it. The increase during the year shows an increase of 40 per cent., and a dividend of 10 per cent. has been declared. Mr John M. Jones 13 the district superintendent for Wrexham, and his office is No. 1, High-street. UNSIGNED PAPERS.—The meeting of the Wes- leyau Mutual Improvement Society, held on Wednes-lay evening, was devoted to Ursigued Papers." These consisted of letters and papers on various subject?, both serious and humorous, which had been forwarded to the secretary to be read by him at that meeting. A short discission was allowed on each. The letters contained suggestions for the improvement of the speaking of members, and on various questions affecting the church with which the socit-ty is connected, and there were papers on Recreation," The training of boys as husbands," Can winter be made enjoyable?" and Ourselves." There was also a short poem, en- titled, Clouds." The next meeting of the society on the 29th inst., will be of special interest, the whole programme being provided and carried out by the lady members. POOLE'S MYRIORAMA.—This week Joseph Poole's latest myriorama liai been on view at the Public Hall. The visit terminates to-day (Saturday), when there will be performances at three o'clock and eight o'clock. The pictures are good, and the music is capital. The singing and variety enter- tainment r is also good. The wonderful change utiste, Mr Harry Stuart, does remarkable things, and his dresses are neatly changed in the presence of the audience. Alvantee performs some remark- able feats upon the horizontal wire, while on the slanting wire, which reaches from the floor to the t roof, his performances were very clever. He walked up without a balancing pole, and slided down first on his feet, on his breast, and on his back. J CHURCH ARMY.—On Monday evening a welcome tea was given to Capt. and Mrs Frame at the Parochial Schools, Madeira Hill. A large number of friends had assembled, and ample justice was done to the very excellent tea provided by Mrs Thomas, Bourne House. Among those assist- ing we noticed also Miss Meredith Jones, the Misses Owen, Woodhey, Miss Turner, Miss B. Birch, and others, all being most active in seeing to the wants of the company. After tea, a pubLc meeting was held in the same Echools, the Rev. Vaughau Jones occupying the chair. There was a very large number present. Short addresses were given by the Rev. G. Birch, the Rev. Evans Jones, the Rev. L. W. Davies, the Chairman, Captain Frame, and others, interspersed with solo singing and hymns by Mrs Frame, the Misses Shelby, and Captain Frame, and shortly after the pleasant meet- ing was closed by the chairman pronouncing the Benediction, MISS SARA HUGHES' CONCERTS. On Friday (November 7th) Miss Sara Hughes, R.A.M., will give the first of a series of six weekly concerts, which promise to be very attractive. The pro- gramme will be sustained by competent and well- known artistes, will contain serious and jocular items, so that all classes will be pleased.

For the convenience of country people, the concerts will commence at 7.30. OPENING SOIREE.— On Friday evening a very successful soiree was given in connection with the Chester-street Baptist Mutual Improvement Society, and a very interesting programme was given. The Mutual Choir rendered several pieces, which were much enjoyed. Mr Stanford recited "The Life- boat in his usual good style. Addresses were given by Rev. P. A. Hudgell and Mr Simon Jones, and Master Robert Davies admirably recited Caergwrle Castle." The refreshment department was under the management of Mrs Hudgell, Mrs Caldecott, Miss Bayley. Miss Davies, and the ladies of the Committee, and gave every satisfac- tion. The schoolroom was nicely decorated for the occasion.— On Monday evening Rev. G. B. Morgan, Chester, gave a very able lecture on Savonarola," which was keenly enjoyed by the audience.—On the motion of Mr Councillor Owen, seconded by Mr W. Thomas, a hearty vote of thanks was passed to the lecturer. BOARD OF GUARDIANS.—At the usual weekly meeting of this Board, on Thursday, there were present Captain Griffith-Boscawen, in the chair Mr S. T. mugh and Mr J. Rogers, vice-chairmen Mr A. Peel, Mr H. J. Royds, Sir R. E. Egerton, Rev. Canon Hopkins, Rev. P. W. Sparling, Messrs J. Lloyd Thomas, J. Brereton, Hezekiah Jones, J. Bithell, Simon Jones, Thomas Nickson, and George Heyward and Mr J. Oswell Bury, clerk.-It was decided to advertise for tenders for the supply of boots to out-door paupers up to Lady Day.—A letter was read from the Local Government Board, with reference to the sale of certain property belonging to the township of Dutton-y-Bran, requesting that the book containing the record of the votes taken at the meeting might be forwarded to the Board for inspection, and asking some questions with reference to the meeting.—Tiie Clerk said there were only five voters in the town- ship, and he understood they were all present at the meeting. He had written to thechairman of the meet- ing, drawingihis attention to the matter.—The Chair- man said he wondered how many weeks longer the matter was going to last The amount of red tape there had been about the matter had been some- thing terrible.—Mr Baugh said it had been going on for months.—The Clerk presented the calis for the ensuing six months.

HOC Eaclushim Below. 260 Eyton 50 Totif tkbo Gourtoa 10 j The Clerk said he had been able to reduce the calls considerably from the estimate laid before the Board some time ago. The common charge was 5d in the 9, and there was a reduction of about £ 1,000 in the county rate as compared with the corres- pondiug period of last year. The call was lower in every parish, as compared with the corresponding period of last year, except in the parishes of Bangor, Threapwood, and Brymbo. The reason that the call in Brymbo was JB340 against iC250, was because of the very large increase in the rateable value of the paristi.-The Chairman said the statement was a very satisfactory one, and it was more so because it showed that the charges, for which the Board were responsible, were Id less in the £ than during the corresponding period of last year.—In answer to a question, the Chairman said he thought the county rate for Denbighshire would not be much more than 3d in the E.-On the motion of Mr Baugh, seconded by Mr Rogers, the calls were adopted.—The Master reported that the vagrants had been in excess of the accommodation on three occasions. The Master also reported the number in the house to be 191, last week 184, last year 210. Vagrants relieved 63, last year 90. Imbeciles 34.

On Wednesday the harvw t thanksgiving services were held in Zion Chapel. In accordance with the usual custom, the services took the form of prayer meetings, and the congre- gations were large. SALE OF PROPERTY.-On Friday Messrs Jones and Son offered for sale at the Walnut Trje Hotel. Rhosddu, two freehold dwelling-houses and a piece of buihlidg land adjoining, situated in Greenfield. The lot was knocked down to Mr J. Owens, coal agent, Pentrefelin, for £365, after a spirited com- petition. The solicitors were Messrs Lewis and Son. THE EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT.—On and after November 7th, the ironmongers of t! e town, with, we believe, one exception, will close at two o'clock every Friday afternoon. It is hoped that the public will arrange for making purchases so as not to interfere with this arrangement, aad no doubt the practice will not only become general in this trade, but will extend to others. TH: FAIR. -At the fair on Monday beef made Gid per lb, mutton 8.1, and lamb SJ. The market was re-opened for the sale of pigs, after having been closed for some mouths owing to the pre- valence of swine fever, and there was a large supply of all kinds, and pork made from 89 :?ll to 83 4d per score lbs. Dairy cows made from E22 to £4. aud one went as high as £25 15s. Scotch ewes fetched 25s 6.1 each. The market showed an improved tone in all departments. ZION" DEBATING SOCIFTY.-The first meeting of the Z;on Chapel Debating Society was held on Friday evening, when the event was celebrated by a tea which was provided by the ladies of the con- gregation, and to which a large number of guests sat down. After tea a debate took place, the sub- ject being Is love of music au advantage or dis- advantage to Wales." Mr Wm. Hughes opened in the afifrmative, and Mr E. M. Pritohard argued the contrary case. There was a spirited discussion, and the members declared that the love cf music was an advantage to the country. This society have about 70 members, and anyone wishing to join can do so by applying to Messrs J. H. Owen and M. H. Rowlands, the hon. secretaries. There is an excellent programme for this season.

TENNYSON'S IDYLLS OF THEI…
TENNYSON'S IDYLLS OF THE KING." The Rev. M. O. Evans delivered the last of a course of lectures on the above subject on Wednes- day night, at the Chester-street Congregational School-room, to a full house. Taking for the sub- ject of his last lecture The Quest of the Holy Grail," the reverend gentleman said :-The Holy Grail was a symbol of the Divine presence, and to see it meant a realization of that presence. The knights had now returned to Camelot, and Arthur questioned them as to what they had Men in the course of their adventures. Their replies bring to light the true character of the knights, the lecturer pointing out the most salient features of each. First came Sir Percivale, the story of whose meet- ing with his first love was interesting and in- structive. If Percivale had allowed even the purest affection to detain him in his quest, he could not have seen the Holy Grail. Things in them- selves legitimate, when allowed to lure the soul from following after Christ, become sinful. Said one of the men who had been invited to the great supper, il I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it." There was nothing I wrong in that, only he would have done better to go and see it before he bought it. Said another, I have married a wife." Now, there was nothing morally wrong in that, provided he could keep her. But thesa things being in themselves innocent, legitimate, and often helpful, became positively sinful when employed as excuses for neglecting the higher life. If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and bi5 own life also, he cannot be my disciple." Then cam Sir Bors, the quiet disciple, the silent knight, and after him SirGawain, representing the carnal, worldly man, who though he swore louder than the rest that he would go in quest of the Grail spent most of the time in a silk pavilion in a field." He cannot understand spiritual things, for they are spiritually examined. To what St. Paul calla" a natural man," and what we would call an irreligious man-a man of the world-you might as well read a chapter out of the I Arabian Nights as read a chapter in Revelation. He believes no more in Paradise than in the field of Sinbad, that was covered over with pearls. He believes in a material, physical universe, but as for < the spiritual he is as careless as he is ignorant. I —— ?- ?- —t? t ? C At Then came Mr Lancelot, wnose guuey iove or tne Guinevro had marred a noble character. He was I followesl by Sir Galahad, who returned not to Camelot, however. Sir Galahad was held forth as the ideal knight. And, in speaking of ideal knighthood, we use a very significant, very com- prehensive term. The various names which knights bore in the several countries of Western Europe, were very suggestive. In France, a knight was called a chevalier," in Spanish a caballero," and in Italian a like name, all which names mean simplv a horseman." the man that rides the horse of war. The Welsh marchog has the same mean- ing. The German" ritter" is mereiv a" rider," but the English word knight carries with it the idea of service. "Caiht" is a servant," and so was gradually evolved the idea of "knightliness," which carries with it the several notions of bravery, hardihood, generosity, simplicity, cour- tesy, chasteness, all grouped round the central idea of duty or service. And are not these the qualities that go to the making of ladies and gentlemen ? Sir Galahad was a gentleman, The lecturer cou- cluded with some references to Arthur. Noble Arthur Thou also shalt have thy visions by-atid- by, and no end of them, when the strange barge shall come to bear thee safely over the black mere to the quiet, sweet shore of the islan1-Valley of Avilion. We understand that these lectures have led up to the formation of a young people's guild, to be called the Camelot Guild, in connection with which there is an advertisement in another column. there -i an a(ivertisetnent in another ed l unin.

PILSENEK LAGER BEEtt. I -I
PILSENEK LAGER BEEtt. It is not so many years past since Lager Beer was practically unknown in this country. Travellers returning from Vienna, Berlin, Bivaria, and other continental towns, had gone into raptures over the famous Beir Gardens," telling how the Burgo- meister and the workman, the genial aud the private, the lady and her maid, the townspeople, countryfolk, and strangers, not to speak of children and their nurses, all met on one common gronnd, straying under the Linden trees, listening to the strains of the military band playing Strauss's dreamy waltzes, or mayhap Waguer's Lohen- grin," the men drinking lager beer out of German tankards, iced, cold, and exhilarating. The num- ber of tankards consumed at one sitting were generally in proportion to the credulity of the listener, sometimes it extended to gallons, as in the case of the famous student of Heidleberg, It is a question if lager beer would have been in- troduced into England to the extent it now i, but h e extent it now ig, but for the fact that the German brewers first attacked the export trade of the English and Scotch brewers, and slowly but surely superseded them in almost every foreign market, particularly those under the British flig. Being successful, they then pushed the beer into England, and were assisted by the English residenters, who coming home brought the tast3 for laser beer with them. Up to this the German clubs in London, Manchester, &c., kepf lager beer for their members, but outside of this there was no other trade to speak of. All this is now changed at present there are no less than thirty-five Continental lager beer breweries represented in London alone, and in England there are several breweries now making this b3er. The demand for lager beer, especially the light Pilsener beer, has advanced with great strides. The public are finding out that this light beer is a very healthy beverage, acting as an ex- hilarating tonic, without any depressing effects, such as follow the consumption of heavier ales, and the taste generally is setting towards a light, palat- able beer. We have mentioned there are several breweries that brew lager beer in this country, among these the Wrexham Lager Beer Company (Limited), Wrexham, stands foremost, This brewery, built from the foundation on the German system, is complete in all its details, and has been very successful in brewing the light Pilsener beer for the past two years, their sales within six months having advanced nearly 50 per cent. The beer is a beautiful pale color, light and pleasant to the palate, and effervescing like good champagne, as a dinner beverage it is unsurpassed. The beer is matured in the Company's ice cellars for at least three months, the machineiy at the brewery being capable of making from ten to twelve tons of ice per day. This being more than is required for brewing purposes, the company are now making the I :ce from pure town's water, and selling it to the public for trade or domestic use. It is strange to think of the distant parts of the I world to which the Wrexham Pilsener Beer finds its way. When one speaks of flowery Japan, China with her teeming populations the Malay Archipelago, including the Dutch island of Java, Rangoon, and British Burmah India, from Calcutta to the mountains, and in Ceylon all the principal Australian ports Africa, both east and west coast the principal ports in South America, both east and west coast Florida, New York, and Canada, it can be seen that it has a wide domain. At Home the principal large lines of steamers take it for passengers' use, both the great Australian ¡ t;n.c.a 1 tUrt £ «-» rtrt on □ 4.1<"1.+1n m ni »»u «<3 Miln biic lUIJiUUS iibiu.tviw UV, to mention Eastern bound steamers. In the United Kingdom, from Aberdeen in the north to Bournemouth in the south, and in the wild wests of Ireland to Hull in England, a large and growing trade is being done and like carrying coals to Newcastle it has even been sent to customers in German;. We are informed that making use of their extensive malting floors and kilns the Com- pany started malting last year, and made malt suitable for sale to other brewers. So far they have met with success, having sold all they malted for the purpose during the season. With the machinery and plant at their disposal, and the efficient staff of employes at present engaged, the Company will ilave, and deserve, continued success in the future.

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION AT…
THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION AT DENBIGH. There is now no prospect of avoiding an election, two new candidates having entered the field. Mr Lloyd Jones, tanner, has served the ratepayers in another public capacity, btl Mr Andrews, The Vault*, is a total stranger to municipal business. Two of thfl retiring members will re contest the seat- Mr W. D. W. Griffith and Mr David Jones, two valuable members, iiave declined to stand. There is very little spoken )f the election about town, owing to the political l enient being abolished. Each candidate has to stand on his own merits, and be elected in consideration of them. There is a budget of extremely important work cut out for the incoming Council, and it behoves the elec-otz3 to coii- !i(ler well before bestowing their votes.
