WREXHAM HIGHWAY BOARD. At a meeting of this body held on Tuesday, there were present Captain Griffith Boseawen, chairman Sir R. E. Egerton, Mr J. R. Burton, Mr J. A. Hogan, Mr G. J. Findlay, Broughton Mr Thomas Lightfoot, Burton Mr John Brereton, Dutton Diffeth Mr T. H. Michell, Esclusliam Above Mr T. F. Heath, Gourton Mr John Jones, Gresford Mr John Thomas, Holt Mr F. Price, May Mr Edward Morris, Marchvriel; Mr Charles Brookfield, Sesswick Mr WiJliam Ellis, Stansty Mr Benjamin Lloyd, Esclusham Below Mr E. Lloyd Jones, Ruitbon and Mr John Randles, Allington Mr John Bury, clerk, and Mr J. Strachan, district surveyor. THE CEFN-Y-BEDD FOOT TitilDGE. I At a previous meeting of the Board, the dangerous condition of a foot bridge at Cefn-y-bedd was mentioned, and it was pointed out that the railing formed little or no protection to children -on account of the wide space. It was resolved to ask the Hope and Hawarden Highway Board, who were jointly responsible with the Wrexham Board for the good condition of the bridge, to share the expense of providing railings, the total cost being 21 18s 6d or 19s 3d per Board. The CLERK reported that he had written to the Hope and Hawarden Highway Board as directed, and the reply was that this Board considered the expenditure unnecessary, and declined to share the proposed expense. The SURVEYOR stated that Mr Newton, the surveyor of the Hope and Hawarden Board, considered that an additional horizontal bar was all that was required, and to this his Board were agreeable. He (Mr Strachan) thought there was a danger lest the pailings should be taken for firewood. Mr F. PRICE considered that pailings ought to be provided, and moved accordingly. Mr MORRIS seconded. On a division, the motion was lost by a large majority, and the Board agreed to the rails. THE PROPOSED RAILWAYS TO RHOS. The CLERK stated that he had received notices from the Grea- Western Railway Company and the East Denbighshire Railway Company relative to the two lines which it is proposed to construct to the Rhos. He had handed them over to the Surveyor, to enable him to examine the proposals and report upon them. Mr STRACHAN reported that the Great Western scheme was much the same as that of last year. It proposed to divert the road leading from the Ponkey to Aberderfyn. The East Denbighshire scheme was also very similar to the one of last year, but it interfered with the roads less. In the latter scheme Mr Strachan referred to the fact that the proposed line would cross the road lead- ing from Rhostyllen to Bronwylfa, at ur near the point where the branch roads from Cadwgan and Pentrebychan meet, by a bridge 15 feet high, and 25 feet span. The Board thought the span too narrow, and on the motion of Sir ROBKRT EGEKTON-, seconded by Mr HOGAN, it was resolved to call the attention of the Parish Council of Esclusham Below to the matter. The CHAIRMAN said now there were local bodies it was well that they should look into such ques- tions which affected the locality. The Board, making no resolution on the sub- ject, will be neutral as regards both schemes. SOUTHSEA. I The sub-committee appointed to view a defective road at Southsea, which was liable to flood, reported in favour of pipes being laid. On the motion of Mr HOGAX it was agreed to have the work done at a cost not exceeding JE6. DEFERRED. The SURVEYOR presented the following report on the road at Black Brook in Marchwiel and Esclusham Below In accordance with your instructions I have inspected the above, and beg to report as follows The brook runs along the road a distance of about 70 yards, and when I inspected it the water covered the whole width of the road, about 9 inches deep, and in the case of floods it rises to 3 feet, or more. The footpath is at the back of the road fence, and stands some four feet above the surface of the road. I beg to suggest to the Board that a new water course be opened at the back of the hedge on Lord Kenyon's property for about 100 yards or as far as the water now runs on the road, and about thirty yards further on, so that the water in the new course would run almost in a straight line. The soil removed from the new course with the additional length suggested would be about sufficient to raise the road as high as the new bridge would be, and would improve the gradients of the roads both in Marchwiel and Esclusham Below. I may now state that a new bridge sufficient for the place, twenty feet in length with ten feet of a span is required. The removal of the soil from the new water course and putting it on the road. The making of a new road, seventy yards long, on the soil so placed would cost about JE180. I beg to lay before you an ordnance map that will show fairly correctly the alterations proposed." The Board considered that as its office expired on March 31st it would be better to leave the question to be considered by the Rural District Council, and it was so resolved, on the motion of the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Mr HOGAN. THE CALLS IN ARKEAR. int«A 1 11 1 11 11 JL-Lit: "Lo" lepunea mat me lass can made by the Board bad not been well responded to. There wa.s.£283 in hand, and cheques were required for 2900. The calls were £1,911 in arrear. Some of the parishes were in arrear with the former call. The CHAIRMAN moved that the clerk be in- structed to take proceedings for the recovery of the money. Mr HOGAN seconded. He thought the overseers were like Irish tenants, who did not consider their rents were to be paid when there was a change of agents. Sir ROBERT EGERTON I thought that made no difference that they never paid. (Laughter.) This was all the business.

The marriage of Lord Wolverton and Lady Edith Ward. only daughter of Georgina Countess of Dudley and the late Earl, was solemnised in the Church of St. Mary Abbott's, Kensington, on Saturday, in the presence of a large congregation. The chancel and other parts of tne church were beautifully decorated. The wedding presents included gifts from the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg, the Duke and Duchess of York, the Princesses Victoria and Maud of Wales, the Duchess of Fife, the Princess Adolp" hus of Teck, and Prince Henry of Batten- berg. Sir Horo.ce Farqhar was also married on Saturday to Lady Scott at St. George's. Hanover. square.

All the glass in the window of the belfry chainbor was smashed, and one of the ringers was precipitated over the railings into the church, a distance of twenty-five feet. The congre- ga.tion rughed out panic-stricken, and the service was j Abruptly brongbt to a close. j

I Elias Challoner, of Holt, and Thomas Whitting- ham, of King's Mills, were summoned by P.C. Charles Evans for having fought in Yorke-street, at six o'clock on December 22nd.—The defendants, who explained that they weie trying to settle au old grievance, were fined Is and costs. DRIXXIMS. I William Johnson was summoned by P.C. Matthews for having been drunk and disorderly in Regent- street, at 11.15 p.m. on the night of December 25th.— Fined 2s 6d and costs.-Thoiii-,ii Jarris was sum- moned by P.C. John Jones for having been drunk and disorderly in Farndon-street, on December 27th.- Fined 2s 6d and costs. DISMISSED. Charles Mortimer, junior, was summoned by Sergeant Tippett for having refused to move ou when requested to do so, at the corner of High-street a.nd Hope-street on Ketv Year's Eve. Mr \V. Wynil Evans defended.—Sergeant Tippett s:dd on Monday, December 31st, about nine o'clock, he moved on a large crowd which had assembled near the Old Town Hall. The members of the crowd went away except the defendant, who did not take any notice. Witness asked him for his name, and de- fendant asked for witness's number. As defendant declined to give his name, witness detained him until Inspector Robinson arrived when defendant gave his iiLLiiie.-Cross-examiiied Defen- dant did not stop very long, and witness did not say Get on there, don't be loafing," nor did defendant say" we are not loafing nor obstructing anyone." He did not know Mortimer.—Inspector Robinson and Sergeant Roberts then gave evidence.—The Mayor said in such cases as these where evidence inde- pendent of the police force could be obtained it would be well to get it. (Murmurs of approval in the court.) —Mr Wynn Eva-ns called Mr William Torrington, who said he walked down Hope-street with the defen- dant, and was wishing him good nig-ht" at the corner of High-street when Sergeant Tippett came up, and in a gruff manner ordered them to move on. lur, Edgar Williams, Mr Roberts, Mr Frank Lerry, and Mr Cadman gave evidence, showing that the defendant was only on the road for about a minute, and that Sergeant Tippett spoke to him in a.n uncivil way.—Mr Wynn Evans, in his address to the magis- trates, pointed out the extreme value of politeness, and said there was very little doubt that had Sergeant Tippett asked the defendant to move on in a civil manner the case would never have been heard of. The insolence of office "was proverbia! such conduct as that of Sergeant Tippett seemed to justify the saying. Mr Wynn Evans thought if Mr Vaughan had been informed of all the facts of the case, he would not have allowed it to be brought on.—The magistrates dismissed the case, and the decision was applauded. DRUNK ON LICENSED PREMISES. I Henry Willis, labourer, employed by Messrs Davies Brothers, was summoned by Inspector Robin- sou for having been found in a drunken condition at the Sun Inn, at 8.10 on the night of New Year's Day. -Complainant said he found the defendant, who was drunk, leaning against the screen in the bar.-Ser- geant Roberts gave corrobora.tive evidence.—Defen- dant said he had had some drink, but it was not obtained in the Sun Inn.

ACCIDENTS AT LIVERPOOL DOCKS. A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE. Numbers of persons have lost their lives, or been maimed and prevented from earning a livelihood, through accidents at the Liverpool docks. Scarcely does a week pass without one or two inquests being held. Tne ambulance corps is engaged with a yearly average of one accident per day caused in or about the docks. And many of the poor fellows who are the victims end their working life from the hour of the mishap. How many of the persons who lose their lives might be saved, and how many of those who are maimed for life might be made whole and strong again ? Doctors can set bones and amputate limbs, and do much with ordinary diseases and fevers. But there are many cases where life is hang- ing by a thread, doctors cannot strengthen this vital thread, and liie passes away. About two and a half years ago, on the dock estate at the north end of Liverpool, a blacksmith named Pritchard, working on a vessel in the dock, fell 16 feet into the hold, When picked up he was conveyed to Bootle Hospital. and there examined. Several of his bones were broken. He had received an injury to the spine, which set up paralysis. In the sixteen weeks in which he was confined to the hospital, Mr Pritchard was unconscious for a month, and was kept in a water-bed. At the termination of the sixteen weeks he was discharged as an incurable paralytic, and shortly afterwards one of the surgeons who had attended him lectured upon his case as one of the most extraordinary and hopeless he had known. But at the present time Pritchard is almost as strong as ever he was, and is again at work. A few days ago a Liverpool correspondent called upon Mr J. H. Pritchard at his home, 165, Boundary- street, off Stanley-road, Liverpool, and was told how the remarkable recovery had been brought about. Mr Pritchard's home is a small shop, and when the reporter entered, the bell was answered by a strong, healthy-looking man, who marched into the room with a firm, sprightly step. Is Mr Pritchard in ?" Yes, I am Pritchard." But I thought you were paralysed." Mr Pritchard, having offered the reporter a seat, explained the apparent miracle. "I spent twelve months at home," he said, "per- fectly helpless. My limbs remained lifeless and useless, and courage failed me. I changed from one learned doctor to another. But the doctor who told me I was incurable spoke with a knowledge of what was to come. I lost hope of ever getting well again I began to get utterly weary of life. This continued until a few months ago, when what I consider to be the most blessed hour of my life occurred-the hour when I accepted the recommendation to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. They renewed my life and strength and happiness. You can see that I am strong and well again you can see that I am not misleading you or exaggerating the remark- able character of my cure. From the time I com- menced to take those pills I began to grow stronger. I have got back to work, and the doctors who attended me are amazed. So are the people who come to see me. They ask me how do I account for my cure. I can only assure them that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the sole cause of my recovery. The Pills have not only put life into my dead limbs, but they have driven from my joints the most cruel rheumatic pains from which it is possible to suffer. I have nsed all sortzi of things for those paius but they remained until I commenced taking the Pills, and then they gradually vanished. I tell you earnestly and sincerely that I owe my life to Dr. Williams—nothing but Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured me." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are a perfect blood builder and nerve restorer, curing rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxy, St. Vitus' dance, nervous headache, and diseases depending upon humours in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, drc. Thev restore pale and Ssallow complexions to the glow of health, and are a specific for all troubles peculiar to the female, while in men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork, or ex- cesses of whatever nature. These Pills are manufac ured by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, of 46, Hoiborn-vaduct, London, I and are sold by chemists everywhere (but only in boxes with pink wrapper, bearing the full name, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People) at 2s 9d a box, or six boxes for 13s 9d. Direct by post from the Company at the same price. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are never sold in bulk, or by ihe doaen or hundred, and any dealer who offers substitutes in this form is trying to defraud, and should be avoided.

The most effective way of taking Cod-liver Oil, as well as the easiest way, is in the form of Scotts' Emulsion. Why not take it in the easiest way and best way ? Scotts Emulsion is palatable and easy on stomach, and it is readily assimilated where plain oil goes to waste. 1 Ton can' t eat enough in a week to last you a year and yon can't advertise on that plan either.

WREXHAM COUNTY MAGISTRATES' I COURT. MONDAY, JANUARY 7TH. I Before Sir R. E. Egerton, Arthur Eo. Evans, and J. A. Hogan, Esqrs. THEFT OF COAL. John Williams, collier, was charged with stealing coal, the property of Mr Thomas Clayton, of Bryn- mally and New Broughton Collieries, on November 27th.—Mr Arthur T. Acton appeared for the prosecu- tion.—The defendant pleaded guilty, and was fined Is and 78 6d costs. ALLEGED THEFT OF FOWLS. I Kobert Orriffiths, collier, ronkey, was charged with stealing two fowls, the property of Matthew Phillips, Hafodybwch Farm.—Mr W. Wynn Evans appeared for the prisoner.—The prosecutor stated that on Sunday morning, December 30Lh, he missed two fowls. They were worth 5s. He identified the legs and wings produced.—Cross-examined The fowls were cross-bred ones but I can identify my fowls from other people's. The fowls were stolen some time between four o'clock on Saturday afternoon and nine o'clock on Sunday morning. Acting Sergeant Harvey stated that he visited the defendant's house on Sunday, the day the fowls were missed, and asked him to account for his movements on Saturday night. Lie said he had been about the Ponkey, and returned home about quarter past eleven o'clock. He did not go out again. He searched the house and found nothing there. Noticing footsteps in the snow leading to the closet in the garden, he went there, and found underneath the seat in the closet, covered up with fresh soil, the four wings and four legs and feathers produced in court. He questioned the prisoner about them, and he said he could not account for their being there. Witness then took the prisoner to the Hafod Farm, anti from what the prosecutor told him. he charged the prisoner with stealing two fowls belonging to Mr Phillips. He replied, It was not me that was in the yard. I know nothing about them.—Cross-examined I found no traces of the bodies of the fowls in the house. P.C. Thomas Rees gave corroborative evidence.— He added that he and Mr Phiilips traced the foot- prints of two men in the snow, one set of the m irks being smaller than the others, from the farm to within about 300 yards of the prisoner's house. He after- wards traced the smaller footmarks in the garden of the prisoner's house leading to the closet. Acting-Sergeant Harvey, re-called, stated that he compared the prisoner's footprints with those found in the snow, and they corresponded in length ;Mid breadth. He measured them with his stick. The nails in the prisoner's boots also corresponded with the nail marks in the snow. Mr W. Wynn Evans, for the defence, said the prisoner instructed him to say that he was not guilty. and knew nothing about the fowls. Ann Griffiths, mother of the prisoner, stated that her son came home about half-past eleven o'clock on Saturday night, December 29th. He went to bed, and did not go out again. She slept in the same room as the prisoner. She knew nothing about the wings, feathers, and legs of fowls produced in Court. She had never seen anything of Mr Phillip's missing fowls. They had never been in her house. She had a dog which was in the habit of bringing things home. He.took every- thing in his mouth. She did not know whether the dog brought the legs, wings, and feathors home that were found in the closet.—Cross-examined I re- member telling the policeman that my son had been out for a walk on Sunday morning with a man named Tommy Davy. I have never seen my dog bring home two fowls and bury their legs and wings in the closet with soil. Robert Thomas, collier, said on Saturday night, December 29th, the prisoner came to his house about three or four minutes past eleven, and stayed till about half-past eleven. John Charles, landlord of the Prince of Wale3 Inn. Ponkey, said the prisoner was in his house from about ten o'clock until five minutes to eleven o'clock on the Saturday night. The prisoner was committed to the Assizes for trial, but admitted to bail. FAMILY DISTURBANCE AT THE VRON. I Samuel Powell, son of a colliery manager, was charged by Mrs Rachel Rogers, landlady of the City Arms Inn, Vron, with doing malicious damage to the extent of 30s.—Mr R. J. Kendrick, who appeared for the complainant, stated that the defendant married a daughter of the complainant some few years ago, but since then she had had to live with her mother on several occasions. She returned home last March, and was still living with her mother. On Christmas j Eve, about 11.30, several members of the family were sitting round the fire talking at the complainant's residence, when the defendant knocked at the window, and asked to be allowed to come in. They declined to let him in, and he picked up a large piece of slag and threw it through the window, smashing the woodwork and the glass. Fortunately it did not hit any of the occupants of the room. This was not the first time that the de- fendant had broken the windows of the complainant's house. The defendant admitted the offence, but said he saw a young man kissing his wife, and that aggravated him, so that he did not know what he was doing. He was fined ZI. and ordered to pay 30s, the amount of the damage, and the costs. He was also bound over in the sum of £10 to keep the peace for six months. DRUNKENNESS. LI. Lloyd Jones, on the information of P.C. Richard Jones, was fined 5s and 7s 6d costs for being drunk and disorderly in High-street, Coedpoeth, on the night of Christmas Day.-Thomas Bellis v.-as fined 5s and 7s 6d costs for a similar offence committed on Christ- ruas Eve at Coedpoeth, the case being proved by P.C. Tanner. REMOVING SWINE WITHOUT A LICENCE. T_i TT- I 1,. uoiin nugnes, iarmer, Allington, was charged with removing four store pigs without the necessary licence on December 18th.— rhe defendant said he removed the pigs from a place in Cheshire, and had obtained a licence from the Cheshire police. He did not know he wanted one from the Denbighshire police. He thought that all that he had to do, after getting the licence in Cheshire, wa.s to give up that licence to the Denbigh- shire police. It was a misunderstanding on his part. It was the first time he had to remove pigs under a licence.—Mr Superintendent Vaughan said even if the defendant had applied for a removal licence, they would not have granted him one under the cir- cumstances, but they did not wish to press for a heavy fine. The defendant was fined Is and 7s 6d costs. ALLEGED ASSAULTS ON A CANDIDATE AT A POLLING BOOTH. Thomas Moreton, farmer, Coedabyn, Abenbury Fawr, was charged with assaulting John Bithell, Woodbine Farm, Rhoanessney. Mr T. P. Jones- Pa.rry, who appeared for the complainant, stated that his client was a candidate for the position of district councillor for Abenbury Fawr, in the Wrexham Union, and on the 17th of December, the day of the polling, he was in the porch of Abenbury Board Schools, where the polling took place, marking his register as the voters came up to vote, baving obtained the necessary permission from the presiding officer. In the evening, about a quarter to five o'clock, the defendant and his wife drove up to the polling station, and itS soon as the defendant caught sight of the complainant he began to make use of most abusive language to him. When he got inside the porch he began to throw his arms about wildly, and finally struck Mr Bithell a severe blow on his shoulder. He I then went inside the polling station, where lie was again very violent.—The complainant, Miss Annie Moore, Mistress of the Abenbury Board Schools, and Mr Henry Boothey, the presiding officer, corroborated Mr Jones-Parry's opening statement.-Mr Boothey said the defendant cursed and used most abusive language. In fact his conduct was so violent and abusive that had a policeman been in the room he should have given him in charge. He was under the influence of drink.—The defendant, who denied the assault, was fined 10s and 14s 6d costs. Henry Stubbs, farmer, Abenbury Cottage, was next charged with assaulting Mr Bithell on the same day. The complainant stated that about 5.30 in the evening—after he had been assaulted by Mr Moreton —he drove down to the Pentre Cottages to fetch up some voters. The voters were not quite ready, and while waiting in the road for them the defendant came up to him, used most abusive language to him, and struck him on the shoulder with the butt end of a whip. The defendant was drunk. The defendant denied the charge, and also the statement that he was drunk. John Davies, Rhosnessney, one of the voters that the complainant went to fetch, stated that all that he heard the defendant say to the complainant was, You are nothing but a wastrel, and I'll make it hot for yon to-night." That was all that he heard said. There was no assault that he saw.-Cross-examined: The defendant was not drunk. He was only market fresh." William Price, cab driver, Rhosddu, gave similar evidence. Mr Boothey, re-called, said when the defendant Stubbs came tovote he spoke in a very incoherent manner, and he thought he was very much the worse for drink, as Mr Moreton, the other defendant, was. The defendant admitted having had a glass or two, but said he was not drunk. The case was dismissed.

TUESDAY.—Before William Thomas, Esq. I ALLEGED THEFT. I TTf-11 T* • ,-v I "imam rnce, mueen-street, Cefn, was charged with stealing a steelyard, value zE2, the property of Samuel Hughes, Cefn. The article was missed on January 3rd, and information was given to P.C.'s Pugh and Williams. The last-named officer found that the prisoner had sold the missing steelyard for 4s, and on January 8th he arrested him.—Prisoner was remanded until Monday.

REVOLUTION IN GAS-HEATING STOVES. There is a new sanitary gas stove now in the market which converts all smoke and fumes into heat, and thus dispenses entirely with a flue. It is unquestionably the most healthy and effective gas stove ever offered to the public, as it not only generates maximum amount of heat at a minmum coat, but is constructed on such perfect scientific principles, that no smoke, smell, or fumes, can possibly escape into the room. The mosi, convincing testimonials have been received by the patentees which fully bear out all that is claimed for the "King of Stoves." under which suitable title it is advertised. The Daily Gral)kic says -It gives out great heat and is entirely free from smell." Several well- known physicians and engineers also confirm this statement, and we cannot do better than recom- mend our readers to write at once to the manu- facturers, Messrs Brown Michael, and Page, of 53, New Oxford-street, London, who will be glad to send fall particulars on receipt of letter or post-card.

DENBIGHSHIRE INTERMEDIATE I EDUCATION. MEETING OF THE COUNTY I GOVERNING BODY. A meeting of the County Governing Body of Denbighshire was held at the County Buildings, Wrexham, on Wednesday, when there were present :—Mr Thomas Gee, chairman Mr J. E. Powell, vice-chairman; Captain Grififth-Boseawen, Mr O. Isgoed Jones, Mr Samuel Moss, Mr W. G. Dodd, Mr E. Hooson, Mr Simon Jones, Colonel C. S. Mainwaring, Mr J. Watkin Lumley, Mrs R. J. Powell, Mrs Annie Parker Davies, Abergele Mr Peter Williams, Brymbo Mr David Jones, Llanrwst Dr. J. W. Hughes, Ruthin; Mr James Clarke, Llangollen Professor J. E. Lloyd, M.A., Bangor College Mr Ezra Roberts, Ruthin; and Mr Charles Dodd, Wrexham Mr LL Adams, clerk. ELECTION OF CI.ERK. I The first business was the election of a clerk, the salary being fixed at X100. Applications were received from the following: -2vlr James Amphlett, Colwyn Bay, solicitor; Mr B. Jenkins Dodd, British School, Maesbury, Oswestry, school- master Mr J. W. Jones, Rhostyllen, Wrexham, correspondence clerk; Mr John David Owen, Kutllin, secretary to the Ruthin Technical Instructioi) Committee; Mr John Roberts, Castle- street, ltuthin and Mr John E. Williams,. Aberystwyth College, assistant registrar. Dr. HUGHES moved that applications received late should not be entertained, and this was agreed to. The only application affected by this decision was that by Mr John E. Williams, of Aberystwyth College, whose letter was received after December 22nd. Mr SAMUEL Moss, in moving the election of Mr John Roberts, as clerk, said he did so without having heard the testimonials of the other candi- dates because he thought, after the very unique experience Mr Roberts had had, he would make an excellent clerk. Those who were members of the County Council were aware how he discharged his duties as assistant to Mr Adams, and those who had been at committees knew with what attention and care he carried out the work. He (Mr Moss) had had a special opportunity of watching his work in connection with the Local Government Act Committee. Mr Roberts was an excellent Welshman, and having had great experience in connection with the Intermediate Education Act was well qualified for the post. Mr Hoosox, in seconding the motion, expressed the highest opinion of Mr Roberts. Mr ISGOED JOXES said, as a member of the Joint Education Committee, he had had many oppor- tunities of seeing Mr Roberts, and he believed he was a most suitable person. Captain GKIFFITH-BOSCAWWN said he most strongly supported the motion. Mr Roberts' qualities were excellent, and the governing body could not do better than appoint him. Mr J. WATKIN LmILEY pointed out that Mr Roberts was in the office of the clerk of the Peace. Could it be said that Mr Roberts would always be able to discharge the duties of clerk to the governing body ? The question of having an office would have to be considered. Mr POWELL pointed out that the new clerk would have to dischaige all the duties in con- nection with technical and agricultural educa- tion which were now in the charge of Mr Mostyn Williams. Mr LL. ADAMS said Mr Roberts was making the application with his full concurrence, and lie would continue in his employ as before. He would have full opportunity of acting as clerk to the Governing Board, and he (llr Adams) would place a room at his disposal without remuneration or charge. (Hear, hear.) The resolution was then put, and Mr Roberts was unanimously elected. Mr ADAMS said his duties now ended, and he desired to thank the ladies and gentlemen present for the kindness he had always received from them and for their assistance. Mr Adams added, I am now dead." (Laughter.) Mr ROBERTS, the newly-elected clerk. was then called in, and the CHAIRMAN announced to him his election, which he said he did with great pleasure. He added his own tribute to the praise of Mr Roberts' services, particularly to the Joint Educa- tion Committee. He also thanked Mr Adams for his services. Mr ROBERTS then thanked the Governing Body for having elected him clerk. Before he made the application he laid the matter before his prin- cipal, Mr Adams, who with his usual kindness and courtesy, undertook that there would be no difficulty in his fulfilling the duties. (Hear, hear.) THE MINUTES. I Upon the motion of Mr J. E. POWELL, seconded by Mr HOOSON, it was resolved that the minutes I should in future be printed and circulated. THE SCHEME. I The CLBRK reported that the Denbighshire Education Scheme had been printed in book form and it was resolved to sell copies of it at sixpence each. THE WREXHAM SCHOOL. A letter was read from the Charity Commis- sioners in which it was stated that before per- mission could be given for the purchase of the Grove Park School, tho approval of the Commis- sioners was necessary, and that a report and valuation by an independent surveyor should be forwarded. O:i the motion of Mr J. E. POWELL, seconded by Mr HOOSON, Mr Howel Davies, of Wrexham, was appointed to report to the Charity Commissioners as req uired. THE LLANGOLLEN SCHOOL. The Charity Commissioners wrote regarding the proposal of the Local Governing Body of Llan- gollcn, to secure temporary premises for the school which is to be established there. The Commissioners intimated in the letter that they must be satisfied of the suitability of the tempo- rary premises proposed to be occupied. Mr W. G. DODD said the Llangollen Local Governing Body was in communication with the Charity Commissioners who were in possession. The question was raised whether the County Governing Body should see the plans as well as the Charity Commissioners, and it was agreed to permit the Local Board to proceed with the school when the approval of the Commissioners had been received. j THE GIRLS SCHOOL AT RUTHIN. A letter was also read from the Charity Com- missioners, replying to a question addressed them with reference to the projected school for girls at Ruthin. The Commissioners declared the answer I given with regard to the Llangollen school tem- porary premises applied to Ruthin. At the suggestion of the CLERK, the following committee was appointed to inspect premises if necessary :-The Chairman, Mr W. G. Dodd, Mr Harrison Jones, and Miss Gee. THE ABERGELE SCHOOL. The Charity Commissioners wrote in terms similar to those contained in the letters above given, regarding suggested temporary premises for the school at Abergele. Mr ISGOED JONES said Mr David Jones and him- self went to Abergele, and inspected premises which had been suggested as the temporary loca- tion of the school, and found them suitable. It was decided, on the motion of Mr DAVID JONES, seconded by Mr ISGOED JONES, to give the Abergele Local Governing Body permission to proceed as soon as the Charity Commissioners approved of the plans. I LLANRWST GIRLS SCHOOL. Mr IsooED JONES reported that a successful girls' school at present, in Llanrwst, was being nego- tiated for, and the local governing body being will take it over, that was as far as the premises and apparatus were concerned. He asked that the county governing body would give consent to the proposal, which would take effect at Easter. It was resolved that Mrs Davies, Mr Thomas Parry, Mr Edwin Griffiths, and Colonel Mainwaring, should form a sub- committee and report. FINANCE. On the motion of Mr J. E. POWELL, seconded by Mr ISGOED JONES, the following were elected a Finance Committee :—Mrs Davies, Messrs Isgoed Jones, Ezra Roberts, James Clarke, Simon Jones, E. Hooson, and E. Harrison Jones. BOARDERS AT DENBIGH. A letter was read from Mr F. Llewelyn Jones, secretary to the Denbigh district school governors, asking the county governing body to permit the headmaster to take boarders as heretofore. The CHAIRMAN said this request was of a purely temporary character, and would be for one year. At the end of that time it would come up for review. No doubt great changes would take place when the Howell's school scheme was carried through, the intention being to make it a hostel of Howell's school. The present school was not what it should be. Mr Tate had promised to give JE250, but none to the present school. Mr LUMLEY spoke against giving permission. Mr POWELL approved of leave being given for one year and moved accordingly. Mr W. G. DODD seconded. In reply to Colonel Mainwaring, Mr POWELL said the scheme provided for boarders at Denbigh. The resolution was then carried. FIRE INSURANCE. I The CLERK was given instructions to fully I insure all the property of the county governing body. PAYMENT OF BUILDING GRANTS. The next business, which was of importance, was to consider whether the county governing body should pay over the building grants to the local governors where required upon guarantee being given, or whether the grants should be held over until the district interested had raised, by private effort, the proportion assigned to it in the schedule attached to the scheme. Mr D. JONES pointed out that in the case of Llangollen, the necessary guarantee had been given, and he moved that the building grant be paid. Mr HOOSON seconded. Mr Moss said if the money went the interest would go with it, and no doubt the object of the proposal was to enable subscriptions to be more readily raised in the locality. He was of opinion that the building grants should not be given until the local subscriptions had been raised and banked. He moved a resolution to that effect. No one seconding, Mr SIMON JONES moved that the money be paid when the plans had been approved by the Charity Commissioners and the county governing body. Mr PETEl WILLIAMS seconded. Mr D. JONES said Llangollen had set an example to the rest of the county. If the resolution were passed it would postpone the work for some years. Professor LLOYD said in his opinion the scheme made it imperative that the money should be paid. Mr J. E. POWELL (who took the chair, Mr Gee having left), said the opinion of the Charity Com- missioners was that the money might," and not should" be paid. On a division the original resolution was passed by ten votes to four. THE REQUIREMENTS OF CERKIGYPRUIPION. Colonel MAINWARING, to whom the question ot of recommending how the district fund should be applied in the Cerrigydrwidion district. He sug- gested that R100 should be appropriated for scholarships, to form an upper department in the public elementary school. He thought the County Governing Body might administer the fund and arrange for the examinations. It was resolved to lay the report before the scholarship committee, which the CHAIRMAN said he would move should be created. SCHOLARSHIPS COMMITTEE. The CHAIRMAN then moved that a scholarships committee should be appointed to secure uni- formity all over the county, and by arranging for them, there would be one examination, one set of examiners and one trouble. Mr LmrLEY seconded, and it was carried. The CHAIRMAN said he proposed that the two representatives of the elementary schools should be on the committee, and that the headmaster and headmistress in the county should be invited for the purpose of consultation. The following were elected on the committee :— Mr R. J. Powell, Mr D. Jones, Dr. Hughes, Mr W. G. Dodd, Colonel Mainwaring, Prof. Lloyd, Mr Griffith, Colwyn Bay Mr Chas. Dodd, Mr E. Hooson, and Mr J. E. Powell. The CHAIRMAN then explained that at Wrexham, a scheme of scholarships had been arranged, and he asked that as they had been advertised they might be approved. Mr HOOSON made a similar request on behalf of Ruabon. Mr DAVID JONES sketched out the scheme at Llanrwst, which included two scholarships of £10 and five of E4, and asked approval. A letter was read from the Denbigh governors, stating that it was proposed to offer five scholar- ships of L4 10s each for boys from the elementary schools, and four of iC4 each for boys at the elementary schools. Approval was asked, and the County Governing Body was requested to nominate an examiner. Iu all cases approval was given, and in Denbigh the examiners conducting the examination at Wrexham were appointed to perform similar duties. JOINT MASTERS. The CHAIRMAN pointed out that in Wrexham, Ruabon, and Llangollen schools, there would have to be masters of drill, singing, and drawing. He suggested that the Finance Committee should consider whether joint masters in these subjects might not be appointed for all three schools. On the motion of Mr DAVID Joxüs, seconded by Mr HOOSON, the question was referred to the Finance Committee. AN IMPORTANT MATTER. I A letter was read from Mr J. H. Bodvel- Roberts, clerk to the County Governing Body for Carnarvonshire, who wrote: I may state, that if your scheme follows ours there will be a provision for scholarships for children who are and have been for three years scholars at public elementary schools, the scholarships being held for one year. The Commissioners have de- cided that these scholarships are not renewable as such. The result is that the other class of scholarships to which they are open are only of the half value, and their number will not allow of renewal to but a very few of the elementary school scholars. No order was made. I A MATTER FROM DENBIGH. I The CLERK read the following letter I Denbigh, January 8th, 1895. 1 HL'GH D. GRIFFITH S SCHOLARS. I Sirt,' I have been requested by the Governors of the Denbigh County School, to write you with refer- ence to the above matter. Clause 18 of the Denbigh- shire Education Scheme reads nos follows No boy who is and was on the 21st day of February, 1893, in the Ruthin, Denbigh Schoof, and is admitted to a county school, shall be liable to any payments to which lie might not have been liable if this scheme had not been made. Auy holder of a scholarship in any of the said schools awarded on or before that day, shall be entitled to hold it in the County School, subject as nearly as may be with the conditions on which he now holds it." In connection with the Denbigh Grammar School there were a number of scholarships, which were tenable for a period of three years. Last April four of these scholarships were awarded by examination, and the holders of these scholarships attended the Denbigh Grammar School. As clerk to the Governors of the County School, I have advised the Governors that ow- ing to clause 18 in the scheme, the tenure of these scholarships as now determined, as only scholars who held scholarships on or before the 31st day of February, 1893, are entitled to continue to hold them now that the Grammar School has become subject to the control of the governors appointed under the Intermediate Education scheme. This is a matter of considerable hardship to the holders of the scholar- ships, some of whom will be unable to continue their education if the scholarships are withdrawn from them. The governors desire me to ask whether the Charity Commissioners could not sanction the con- tinuance of these scholarships, as the framers of the scheme can scarcely have intended that existing scholars should be deprived of their rights. As it is of the utmost importance that the matter should be settled at once, so that holders of these scholarships may know whether they are entitled to continue in the school or not on the same conditions as heretofore, I shall be glad if yon can favour me with a reply in the course of a week or ten davs.-I am, sir, yours obediently, F. LL. JONES, « Clerk to the Governors of Denbigh County School. The County Governing Body resolved to write to Mr Jones expressing sympathy in the matter, and to communicate with the Charity Com- missioners recommending that the request con- tained in the letter might be granted. The members then rose.

WREXHAM CORPORATION. GENERAL PURPOSES COMMITTEE. At a meeting of the General Purposes Com- mittee of the Wrexham Town Council, on Wednes- day, there were present:-Alderman George Bevan, chairman the Mayor (Councillor C. Murless), Alderman W. E. Samuel, Councillors Thomas Jones, G. Cathrall, J. Fraser, J. Whittingham, J. Hopley Pierce, J. A. Chadwick, and C. K. Bensoa; the Town Clerk (Mr Thomas Bury), the Borough Surveyor (Mr J. W. M. Smith), and the Sanitary Inspector (Mr C. Moore). CAB DRIVERS. The SANITARY INSPECTOR reported that two men named J. Macintosh and S. Meredith applied for licences as cab drivers. Councillor FRASER said he heard a cab driver using very bad language in the public street the other night. The CHAIRMAN said that was unfortunately very characteristic of the genus. Councillor J? RASER said it ought to go forth that this kind of thing would not be tolerated. The licences were granted, the CHAIRMAN in. forming one of the men of the complaints made and asking him to warn his fellow drivers. THE PAVING LOAN. The BOROUGH SURVEYOR reported that the work of paring the streets in the town, for which the loan had been obtained, was done. He was pleased to say that they would, when all had been paid, have a balance of E250. The CHAIRMAN said it was very satisfactory to have this statement with reference to the loan. ALDERMAN SAMUEL suggested that they should tile a small piece of footpath in Charles-street. This might be done out of the loan. The Town CLERK pointed out that the streets intended to be done, and the estimate of such work been laid before the inspector, and that was not placed before him. They could do so if they liked to run the risk. The CHAIRMAN said he thought they could run the risk. The loan was for paving streets, and the Inspector would no doubt report favourably. The SURVEYOR said he would present an estimate of the cost at the next meeting. I VICARAGE HILL. The OUKVEYOR presented an estimate, as re- quested, of the cost of paving with tiles, Vicarage Hill from the bottom of Brook-street, to a little beyond the entrance to the Wrexham, Mold, and Conr.ah's Quay Engineers' Office, and that part of Vicarage Hill opposite the Central Station. The cost would be about 253. Councillor CHADWICK suggested that for the pre- sent they should not pave the part opposite the railway. They could fill it up with screenings until the place was built upon. Alderman SAMUEL said it was both dirty and dangerous. The TOWN CLERK said he used it every day, and he could endorse the Alderman's remarks. Councillor FRASER thought it would be useless to put the tiles down until the new station was built, as there would be a great number of altera- tions carried on then. Councillor CATHRALL said he was strongly in favour of having the side next to the station wal! paved, and he moved that that be done at the cost of ZZZ, as estimated by the Surveyor. Councillor HENSON seconded. Alderman SAMUEL moved that it be pared from the line of the bridge to tiie engineer's office entrance. The MAYOR seconded. Councillor CArniuxfi You leave a bit at the bottom. Alderman SAMUEL Yes, until it is built on. Councillor CHADWICK moved that the question be left over altogether. Councillor FIUKTCR seconded. Only two for Alderman Samuel's amend- ment, and only three tV>r Councillor Charhvick's amendment. On the first show of nands, four voted f-VI* tha original motion of Councillor Cathrall that part of the work be done, and feu" against. The CHAIRMAN I vote for it. Councillor BEXSON aik-.id the Chairman to put the motion a^ain, and this time five vnred for it and four against. The Tln-i is a business meeting. It was very amusing, hut tig got 0.1. TEAM \V. The SURVEYOR asked for instructions to adver- tise for teamwork, materials, &c. Councillor FRASEI! s'lid he would suggest that the Borough Surveyor be requested to prepare a statement as to the h brnir.e trts. i lls, &c., required, and also what they had at present in the way of carts, materials, &c. With this before them, the committee could go fully into the matter, and sec v.-hcth;:r liiey :wa: have their own horses aud do their own teamwork. Tina had Leon before them for three years, and now lie thought was the time to go fully into tho matter. He moved a resolution to that effect. Councillor BENSON thought it was time thut the Corporation should do their own team work. The CHAIRMAN said it \v is due to the pressure of work that it had not been u before. Councillor BEXSOX said p.. haps that was so. He thought it would be done cheaper and better by themselves than by a contractor. He seconded the resolution. The CHAIRMAN said this would not prevent them advertising for tenders for team work as they could not get a team prepared before the expira- tion of the present contract. Councillor T. JOXES said at the present time the Corporation owned some of the carts and the contractors the others. The resolution was carried unanimously, and the Surveyor was instructed to advertise for the usual contracts, except for team work. He was asked to see the present contractor and make an temporary arrangement. NEW HOUSES. The SURVEYOR presented plans for four houses and a shop in Peel-street for Mr Thomas Rogers three houses in Watery-road for Mr H. A- Jones; eight houses in Oxford-street for Mr W. Hughes; three houses in Tuttle-street for Messrs Stokes, and a stable and cowhouse at the Bull's Head Inn for Mr Dorset Owen. In reply to a question, the BOROUGH SURVEYOR said the houses in Tuttle-street complied with the bye-laws with respect to the air space. Alderman SAMUEL said that a man and his wife and a table would about fill the houses. (Laughter.) Councillor BENSON said he observed that the rooms were only 9ft. 6iu. wide. Was the Surveyor satisfied with that ? The SURVEYOR said he would not object to their being larger, but his chief objection, the height, had been removed, as the rooms were over nine feet high. Councillor WHITTINGHAM said they would be a great improvement on the existing houses. The MAYOR said there would be nothing like the room in them there was in the old houses. Councillor JONES moved that the plans be approved and adopted. Councillor WHITTINGHAM seconded, and it was carried unanimously. SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENT. A letter was received from Mr J. H. Swainson, stating that Dr. Richard Williams was prepared to sell to the Corporation 133 superficial square yards between Egerton-street and Argyle-street for the purpose of widening Rbosddu-road to a minimum breadth of twcntv-four feet at the sum of JE150. The CHAIRMAN said it was a very bad part of Rbosddu-road. Alderman SAMUHL proposed that the Surveyor prepare an enlarged plan showing what land would be given, and asking for more land at the corner in front of the tin building. This was agreed to. NEEDS ATTENTION. Councillor I. JONES asked what had been done with reference to the wall in Chester-road between Grove-road and Foster-street. The SURVEYOR said he had written to Sir Robert Cunliffe's agent, itnd he replied that they could not do the work. He (the Surveyor) could not say the wall was dangerous, but it was ruinous, and had prevented them paving the path properlv. Councillor JONES said undoubtedly it was dangerous. If they had power to do tho work and to charge the owner with the cost, he would propose it. The TOWN CLERK said the matter was practi- cally in dispute. The owner considered that the wall had been undermined, by, he believed, the surveyor in charge before the Corporation took over the road. The Town Clerk was instructed to write to the agent asking what they intended to do in the matter, the CHAIRMAN remarking that it would never do to leave the wall in its present con- dition. THE TOWN CRIER'S OVERCOAT. Mr WILDING, the lovrn Crier, wrote that as he had already commenced his duties, he hoped there would be sufficient call for his services to enable him to pay for an overcoat himself. (Laughter.) MORE LAND FOR SALE. The following letter was read from Mr W. A. BuryWrexham National Schools. The managers of the above schools are about to erect the boundary walls of the proposed new girls' schools at Madeira Hill. but before commencing operations they requested me to inquire whether the Corporation desire to purchase any of the land for the purpose of widening Poplar-road." The Surveyor was instructed to prepare an enlarged plan showing what advantage would be gained. The TOWN CLERK asked whether anything would be done with regard to the letter of Messrs James and James, stating that the land between Regent- street, King-street, Lord-street, and Duke-street was for sale, ana whether the Corporation desired to buy it for the purpose of building a Town Hall thereon. Councillor JOXES thought that the piece sold to Messrs Crane and Company had spoilt it for their purposes. It was decided that the Town Clerk should in- form Messrs James and James that they did not require the land. The CHAIRMAN The fact is we are too poor to buy anything. «

SAD DEATH OF A PRIEST AT CHESTER. Mr E. Brassy, city coroner, held an mquest on Tuc-.?ay. ? the Bull aud Stirrup Hotel, Chester, on the body of Father H. Heffernan aged about 55 a Roman Catholic priest, who was found dead in his ued-room in the Albion Hotel, Near Chester General Iiailwav Station on Monday morning. He was staying at the Hotel, and was left in the coffee room at 1045 on the Sundav evening. He was heard to tro to bed at 11 nVWlr and was found dead in his bedroom about eleven o'clock the next morning.—George Lewis billiard marker at the Albion Hotel, said he saw deceased lying on the sofa, last thing on Sunday night. Witness had noticed that the deceased had been drinking heavily of late, and one night witness had bad to help him to bed.-Detective Crewe deposed to finding deceased in his bedroom kneeling on the floor with his head and hands resting on the bed. There was a stool at the end of the bed half turned over, and on the edge of one of the legs there was blood. The pillow and bed-clothes were saturated with blood. Witness produced deceaseds bank book, showing over £300 to his credit, and a. letter of remonstrance addressed to the deceased by the Right Rev. John Carrol, coadjutor bishop.-Tlie medical evidence was to the effect that there were several bruises on the deceased, and a lacerated wound on the back of the head extending down the bone. Deceased was a well-built, powerful man, and the injury might have been produced by a fall on the stool. In the opinion of Dr Harrson, the cause of death was concussion of the brain arising from the injury to the head.—Verdict "Died from concussion of the brain, bnt there is no evidence an show how the injury was caused."

I DO WHAT YOU CAN. Seek not so much for great things, rather be faithful to the opportunities of the present, small though they may seem. Do what you can and do it now. If you cannot give gold, sympathise with the suffering. leach children if you cannot instruct men. if you cannot become a pillar of state be a support and comfort to the household. Be a candle in the chamber if you cannot be a star in the sky. Gladden and brighten the home circle, if you cannot illuminate the city. Counsel the few, if unable to j. i each to the thousands. Be a help, an encourage- nJ 'nt, and a blessing to those around you, so they w. ,i be happier and wiser for having known you. Ho .v many readers can truthfully say I owe my life to th9 good counsel and advice of a true friend?" Yes: Miss Moon, of Whitebrook's-lane, Red Post, near Bath, says: Friends not only advised, but actually procured a bottle of Warner's Safe Cure for -1 'J me. ana it aid me so much good I continued its use. I owe my life to it, and am a wonder to all about me. When I commenced to use it I could not walk nor lie, but had to be propped up straight in bed; even then, at times it seemed as if I should be strangled. I was given up by three doctors. Now I enjoy good health. I have recommend Warner's Safe Cure to many lady sufferers, and it has always helped them." ■uariies who feel weak, enervated run down in health, will never regret ha.ving taken this remedy, as it seems to have a happy effect whenever a tonic is required.

The remains of the late A. K. Moore, editor of the Morning Post, were interred on Monday at Hiebgate I Cemetery.

THE RUABON GRAMMAR SCHOOL GOVERNORS. A meeting of the governors of the Rnaoon Gram. mar School was held at the School, on Monday when there were present Mr E. Ilooson. chairman • Mr George Garside, vice-chairman. Lady H'ihiains Wynn Mrs Eirhham Jones, Mr J. C. E duaid,. Jlr Benja- mm Williams. Mr J. I-,cigers. Alderman Christmas Jones, and Mr H. jenks. Mr J. Denbig0 h JOile. clerk. The Rev. A. L. Taylor, headmaster, was also present. A letter was received, stating that oivin"- to the day being that on which his monthly Board met in Lancashire, Colonel Barnes was unable to attend. The Chairman explained that prior L-) the meetinR of the governors, a sub-committee had met to con- sider, among ether matters, the amount of the capi- tation grant to be paid to the headmaster, and the committee recommend that the grant for tue present year be JE2 5s per head iu addition to his salary of JE180. The committee felt that tney must make an exception in the case of Mr Tajiur. lie was the old master of the school, and there was everv reason why they should treat him in the most liberal manner, because of his excellent services to the school in the past.—The Headmaster said while he fully appreci- ated the kindness of the remarks, he desired to repeat what he had said at the previous meetinc, and that was that he wished the governors to treat him as they would a stranger, and lie would be perfectly con- tent.—The Chairman said it was tne unanimous opinion of the committee that the ijrant named should be given.-Thc Clerk read a list of the num- ber of boys in the school for the las. 20 Yfiró, wilich showed that in 1892 the number was 62 in 1535,58, and in 1894, 42.-lIr Jenks asked if there was any cause for the decline.—The Headmaster said he could not account for it. except by saying there had been a run on the boys of the higher clasó for banks and other offices. The teaching was the same. Sorted the figures read out were larger than at present, but at one particular period indicated, there was a special effort m;ide on behalf of tho school. b-athe thought that condition was artificial..—On the motion of Mr J. C. Edwards, seconded by ilr iiogers. the report was adopted. C The Chairman also reported that the committee was appointed to consider aud examine the plans for the alterations to the school, but they were in the possession of Mr E. Lloyd Jones, and were not before the committee. It was stated that the headmaster hold written to Mr Lloyd Jonts on the subject, butnj reply had been received. The Governors ordered that the Clerk should make application to Mr Lloyd Jones for the plan. Upon the consideration of the signature by the headmaster of a declaration contained ia the scheme, the Clerk, at the req uest of tjie Chuinr.au. read a resolution passed by the old governors, ia wlii-h the services of the headmaster were acknowledged in generous terms, and it was a^r^-ed. on motion ct Mr Garside, seconded by Mr J. C. Edwaids, to adopt the same resolution, and enter it upon the minutes. The Headmaster then furnished his report upon the teaching staff of the school, which, lie said, cor.s:s:ed of himself and two masters, one of unich was auont to leave.
