The Giiaibman said many of them would have FREE ENTEitTAiNMENT.
! An invitation was submitted from the Catholic Amateur Dramatic Society, asking tliat the in mates might attend a dramatic performance in tho Public Hall, on that night (Monday). Mr. L oftiiousr (Workhouse Master), stated
he had replied that with the Guardian a consent, he w’onld take the children to the peformance. Mr. W. B. Dewiiubst thought the,time of the
entertainment was rather late for the children to be out. Mr. S. Si'EAK said a responsible person ought to
accompany them if they went. Mr. LortnouSE stated that he intended going
with the children, and also to bring them back. On the motion of Mr. S Speak, seconded by Sir.
G. Haworth, i t was decided that the, children bo allowed to attend the performance.
NEW. LAMPS. • Mr. G. Haworth said he wished to bring be
fore the Guardians the matter of having two new lamps put in Clmtbuni Road, near the Workhouse. Tho Gas Committee of the Corporation Imd already considered the advisability of erecting additional lamps in Clmtburn Road as far as Mr. Lancaster’s houHt*, and he thought it would he very desirable to have two placed opposite the M^orkhouse. He would therefore move that tiic Guardians approach the Gas Committee on the matter. i lr . Lofthousf. thouglit it was a most desirable
and also jiroposod that Jlr. W. B. Dewhurst and klr. S. Speak make enquiries into the matter. This was seconded by 3Mr. G. Ha-wouth, ami
carried.
RURAL SANITARY AUTHORITY A special meeting of the Rural Sanitary
Authority was held at the Workhouse, on jMonda}’ morning, previous to the meeting of the Board of Guardians. Mr. R. Kny-Slmttlcworth presided, and there were also present, 11. ,C Assheton, Esq., J.P.j-Mcssra R.

MEDICAL o f f ic e r ’s REPORT. The
Clf.uk read the quarterly report of Dr..W.
P. Counsellor, M.D., Medical Ofiicor of Health for tho Lancashire part of the Union, which tvas as follows: To the S.anitary Committee of the Lancashire
Rural District of the Clitheroe Union. Gentlemen.—The mortality in this district
during the past quarter has been considerably
above the average, thirty-five deaths having been registered from very miscellaneous causes. These deaths are at tho rate of 111*71 per 1000 per annum, w’hilc the average death-rate for this season is
.about 15. The zymotic rate is low, tho three dcatlis coming
case of scarlet fever in Ban*ow in August, and last month a case of enteric or typhoid fever began in a cottage near Whalley, and seven other members of the family took it successively, riio cottage is one of four which have closets on tlio pail system, and they appear to have been emptied irregularly and certainly not frequently enougli. Your in spector lias supplied disinfectants .and visited the premises, which appear to be efilciently drained. Considering tho intermittent water; supply of Whalley, and other places, the ch.'inccs o f . foul water being sucked into the pipes have been very great, and that, togotlior with tlio consequent' im perfect Hushing of drains, gives the poison of diseases like typhoid and diphtheria every chance of being developed. Tlio water supply of Whalley will probably be
doubled by next summer ; and in Chatburn, Downlmm, and Sabden, the supply has been good since my last report. ■
- I enclose the usual mortality tables, and have
the honour to bo, gentlemen, Your obedient servant, P. COUNSELLOR, M.D, ^Icdical Oflicer of Health.

matter of suppling Grindleton witli water. /The meeting was spcciall}' held for an interview witli Mr. R. J. Aspinall, reiiresenting the Walshnian’s
trustcoe. Cnpt. Haygate had been written to, but no reply had been received from him, he having left the matter in lliehandL of Mr. Aspinall. The Authority were seeking the consent of the Walsh-' man trustees to run over part of their land with pipes, iMr. Aspinall, tvlio had previously been supplied
with a copy of Mr.' Preston’s report, and also of tho idan, now sought informsution on several points relating to the scheme. Being informed that the Authority had not yet decided which scheme! they -would take, he thouglit the X^ike Law Slack sciienic prcfcrablo to the other, as-tlic Corporation, if they wished, could shut off the water eventually. Ho asked if thej' knew aiivthiiigof the spring from which the Pike Law Slack scheme would be siip- Xdied.

tained, it was a most . copious one. Old inhabitants who had been questioned on tlio matter' stated that within their rcoollection it had alwavs been plentifully-suiiplicd with water, and; had' never been dry. ■ Mr. Asvinall pressed upon them the advisa-
biAtypf ascortamnig the certainty, of the supply before laying pipes.'
' lilr. K. C. Assheton said he had always been
inclined towards the Corporation scheme, ns then they would alwaj's have someone to deal with who would be responsible-tor the supjily, but if the spring failed they would have no one to get at. Mr. A spinall.—Would the Corporation guaran ; . . ,

Tho Cleiik stated that so far ns could be ascer A lengthy conversation took place upon the “ ERNEST MALTRAVERS.” Tho Catholic Amateur
Dr.aiiiatic Company
produced 011 Saturday night at the Public Hall the sensational drama of “ Ernest Maltravers.” , The excessively rough weather had a discouragiuj effect upon the numbers present, and the hall was
not crowded, although the attendance was far from being poor. The new scenerj' was good, and the costumes worn were all that could be desired, whilst M r . Duckett’s string band-constituted [a ver}' fair orchestra. The part of the hero of the piece, “ Ernest
Jlaltrayers,” was taken by-Jfr. T. Brunskill,whoso voice and figure were well suited to the part. His greatest success was in tho scene where, attired in a
picturesque.Italian costume, lie glides into view on a gondolier, singing a good tenor song and accompanying liimself upon a guitar. 'I’lie heroine, “ Alice Darvil,” afterwards“ AliccMaItra vers,” was represented by Miss
B.Parker, who appeared to the best advantage ill the cave scene, wliorc, as a harmless, crazy woman, she defies a desperado, and arrests a curse upon his lips. Tlie palm for acting must certainly be accorded
to Mr. C. •-Walmsle3',. as “ Richard Darvil,” a. notorious poacher, and afterwards origami, whilst Mr. J. Gudgeon, as “ Luniley Xorrors,” takes a
very creditable second place. Judging from Jiisi st3’lo, however, it scorns thntho-would have been more successful as a staunch than as a false friend. The-other parts -were very, creditably Burtained by Miss S. J. I'arkcr, Miss M. Haighton, and Messrs \V. Bambcr, R. Dawson. N. Dewhurst, H. Ince, W. Ellison, T. W. Ilothcrsnll, T. Duckett, T. Nickson, and others. TIio performance was repeated on IMonday

THE GOLDEN WEDDING EMIGRANTS FROM THIS DISTRICT. The following interesting paragi*aph relating to
tho fortunes of jirovious inhabitants of this district appeared in the Mdvemny TvneSf Pawtuckott, R. L, of October 5th.
LONSDALE. Mr. and Mrs. James Geldard reached the half
century mark in their wedded life on Saturday-^ so that day and evening were celebrated in an appropriate manner at the residence of tlie conplo at the corner of Broad and Goldard streets. ' Late in the afternoon the' gueste commenced to arrive,
'and the evening was spent in a very pleasant, social manner.. There was dancing to the music of JlcCIoskey's orchestra, refreshments were served and congratulations of tlic Avarmest character were showered upon the happy collide by all who were present. Jlr. Goldard was born at West Bradford; Eng
land, July 1*J, 1821, while Mrs. Goldard, whose maiden name was Mary Hartley, was born* at l^cndlcton. on October 14, of the same year. ’£ 1103*
mot at Low Moor in early life, and were married at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, Clitheroe, Lan cashire, on October 4, 1841. A few months later, the 3*ou!ig couple left the land of their birth, and came to this country, where Mr. Geldard entered the employ of the Lonsdale Company, remaining with them fo r ' sbriicthing over 40 years. A t the time when he resigned his position,, his name antedated that of any one connected wdth the mills, either oumer, agent, superintendent, or em ploye of any kind.
! While in their employ Mr. Geldard held the
position of overseer of the weaving department of mills Nos. 1, 2, and 3 in tho old village of Lons dale, overseer at Berkeley mill, suporiutendont of No 1 mill, Ashton, and paymaster at the erecting of No. 2 mill in the same village. Mr. Gcldard's last x>osition was at Berkeley,
wlicre he succeeded in accomplishing tho work that his predecessor had been unable to carry out, some
of the finest goods being turned out during his career. After leaving BorJeeloy, Mr. Geldard bought a farm, and for a number df years devoted his time to agricultural pursuits, but a year or two ago even this was given up. and the couple, aged in years but young in spirit, arc now cnjojdng a retired life at their jiloasaut little homo ou Broad
street.
work he had been engaged in that pursuit for 52 years, and had not lost more than 5C days, 33 of those being spent on a sailing vessel coming from England to this country. Tlie only educational advantages he over enjoyed were those received at the mill, in the Sunda}* school, and at his fireside, wliere he and liis wife used every method to improve their minds. During tho fiftj* 3*enrs of married life, eleven children have been born, and of those six .are now alive. Besides
When Mr. Geldard finall3’ resigned all mill ' '
these there were eleven grandchildren, who were present on Saturd.ay evening.
, During the lifetime of the couple both have
been indefatigable workcis in behalf of the Epis copal Church. It was largely due to the efforts of Mrs. Geldard that the mills of New England wore stopped on Christmas Day, and Mr. Geldard has always been prominentl}* identified with church interests. He was organist at Christ Church, Lonsdale, for a long period of time, and was instrumental in the organization of tSt John’ Church, Ashton, being organist as well a superintendent of tho Sunday scliool there for years. Both Jlr. and ^Irs. Goldard arc enjoying the
be.st of health, and it is hoped by the host of friends that thoj* will be spared to cacli other for man3’^ happ3* 3*oars to come.
The reference to the closing of tho mills
Christmas Day needs some little o.xplanation. It may not be gencralh’ known that the first settlers in that countr3*—ruritans—strictl3* forbad the observance of Christmas Day, b>* abstaining from labour. I'rom that time to the time when it fell to the lot of a Low Moor Lass, to inaugurate the movement for the abolition of Christmas Da3* labour, sucli a thing had never been hoard of. *At first, Mrs. Geldard appears to Ii.avc met with some opposition from tho managers, wlio tliouglit tliat if they allowed tlie English to liave Christmas Day, the Irisli wo’j ld soon agitate for St. l^atrick’s Da3’ . However, on finding tliat it was an almost univer sal custom amongst Christians, they granted tho holiday. The White Jlill on Fall River was the first mill to stop, and now Christmas .Daj’ is the greatest holida}’ of the 3*ear all over America, not excepting even the fourtli of Jnlj*.

The PitizE Distiurdtion.
• A t the conclusion of the competition, the students assembled on tbe platform to receive at the hands of Mrs. Hick; of Mitton Hall, the prizes offered to those who had secured the greatest number of points, out of a possible 100. Tho Rev. L. C. Wood occupied the- chair, and there were also upon tho platform, H. W. Worslcy-Taylor, Esq., Rev. 0. C. I’ richard, Dr. Counsellor, A. Long- worth, Esq., and others. The CiiAinsiAN said his duty on that occasion
was a very pleasing one. The dairy scheol they, bad met a abort time since to inaugurate bad now’ been brought to
a.successful conclusion by the competition, and ho had the honour of asking Mrs. Hick to distribute the prizes to the winning com petitors. He, was pleased to find that tlie local Agricultural ARaociatiou had siipploniented the prizes offered by the County! Council with some offered by themselve.s.
* ■. ,Hargreaves, 92 points ; 4 Miss Altimhi, 90 points ; MR.
follows:—1 Miss Lancaster, 94 points (out of a possible 100); 2 ^Irs./Barnea, 93 point.s ; 3 Mrs.
o.^Irs, Tattersall,' 89 points ; G .^liss Binna; 88 points ! Miss Ainsworth,. 88 points ; S Miss A. Leoming, 88points; 9 Miss Southwortb, 88 points; 10 Mrs. Ashcroft, 88 points; 1 1-Jliss Robinson, 88 points ; 12 Mrs. Holden. The following were highly commended:—JIrs. Stott, JIrs. Robinson, Miss Eatougli,. Miss Holden, Miss I’ carson, Miss Hilton, Miss Barker, and Jliss Mossland. The prize money amounted to over £10 The judge was Mr. Joseph Rigb3’ , of Middlewick,
Cheshire. There .wore 43" pupils in tho two classes which
liave been held, and the committee desire to thank surrounding fanners and the authorities of Stoiu’ - Imrst College for tho liberal manner in which tliej* have been supplied with cream for the classes. The Rev. C. C. 1’ uiciiaud said he laid a pleasant
duty to jicrform in proposing a vote of thanks to Mrs. Hick for so kindl3* consenting to .conic amongst them and distribute tho prizes. Tliey all knew Jlr. Xlick. and the interest he always evinced in matters which,concerned tho people of \Vhallcy and its neighbourhood, and all would bo glad to find that ^Irs. Hick also was interested in their affairs. Mr. II. W. Worsley-Tavlou said ho wislicd,
before they separated, to propose a vote of tlianks to the Rev. L. C. Wootl. But before he did that, ho had another icsponsibility to discharge. lie
ii.ad been ordered—and when a married man said ho was ordered to do . a thing, it was not difficult to decide who had onlercd lihn, (laughter)—he liad been ordered by his wife to express lier regrets at her inability to bo present. Having discharged tills dut3% ho had much pleasure in proposing the vote of thanks. Mr. Wood Iiad come’ amongst them at tho opening of the scliool, and had taken the trouble to come again that day. Ho had no
. interest to serve. He had taken tins up solel3* from a desire to benefit those amongst whom, his lot was
cast. Mr. Wood had been good enough the other da3*, to propose n vote of thanks to him.' He was forcibl}' reminded of .an anecdote in connection with the death of the eminent composer, Rossini. When this death occurred, a young man composed a jiicce of music in niemorj' of the composer, and asked the opinion of a friend ns to its merits. His friend, applauded thc^ production, a n d s a i d there was onl3* one thing could have improved it.
It was a pity that it had not been
tho young man who ‘ Iiad died, ami Rossini had composed the “ In membriam.” (Laughter). On this occasion, when he was moving a vote of thanks to Mr. Wood, tliej* Imd'found their right places. He was sure that the tlianks that tvould be most gratifying to Mr. Wood, was tlie assurance from tlie teachers, Misses Brown and Macqueon and Jlr* Righ3' (the judge), that the classc.s ha([ proved a success. Ho was
glad.to notice that the fort3--throe competitors were all either farmers’ wives or farmers’ daughters,,as this was an indica tion that interest had been aroused in the right quarters, and that tho school would liave bonofitod the class for whom it .was commenced. lie had been told that the scliobl would •visit Clitheroe next spring. He was glad to hoar it. ,Tlic system it taught was both simple and effective. He .was in formed tliat i^Iiss Lancaster, the winner of the first prize, had never practised that s.vstom before. Ho notiecd. too, that it was not necessary the pupil should have reached maturiti*, for several of tlie prize winners vero not more than fourteen or
fifteen years of ago. Ho was sure that Mr. Wood and all others who took an interest in such sub jects,would find a largo amount of encouragement in the success of the class just concluded. The Rev. L. C. Woon, in responding, said ho
had heard nothing of so pleasing a character as the good report the authorities Iiad to give of tlie sHccessfur issue of tho school’s visit to Whallej’. If he might venture a word of advice to-tlie pupils, he would ask them to 'carry out in their own’ homes tho principles they Had learned there, and complete the work tho school had begun. » It was always .a difficult thing to introduce a new system of working. There was always a large amount of prejudice to be overcome. But the farmers of England could not afford to ignore new methods. They had aii increasing population in the country, and they must produce an increasing amount of .food for them to eat. British farmers had .bettor cattle, aud wore at an-advantage in other respects, and yet, unfortunately, it was true .that foreigners were in front of the British in dairy 'matters. He was sure, however, that if - the young , people would take up the advantages ttet had .come within tlieir reach, the foreigners would not long maintain the
advantage they, had gained. Mr. '\Vorslo3’’TTa3’Ior had been good cnougli to refer to his activity and interest in agricultural subjects. ; -Ou his own behalf ho would saj' he Iiad, taken up this work simply because it v.-ns a good work, and in his opinion it was the duty of .a- Christian
niihi.stor to interest himself in a 113' movement that had for its object tlie social or moral iniproveiiicnt of mankind. (Applanso.)-: He had boon vicar of an agricultural (li5trictfor48 3'cars, and during all that time he had taken an interest in farming. It had cost him a great deal of tiouble and sonic
h.ard sa3’ings- IIc thanked tlicni for tho kind way m which they had dealt with him. , He ; thought their- local conmutteo had entered thoroughly into the spirit of the work, and oxliibitod a dcal of intelligence and. asaiduit3* in Iheir conduct of tho school- He knew the interest Mr. Hick was taking in such work. ..Vll land-owners ought to interest them selves in matters' that
..concern their tenants’ welfare. On the 24th and 25tli of November there would be a large butter-making competition in ITeston. For . the first-25 competitors there would bo 25 prizes, and also 10 prizes for tho 10 ccond best. They would tlius see that the County
Council was working, and-he would ask- their local committee to assist them by taking this matter up.
..I^RKSIJNTATION TO THE TeaCIISRS. : A tea was prepared for the pupils and fnendsat
the Dog Jim during llic evening, and after the tea, Mrs. ^\llklnson, of Portfield Cottage, one of the senior pupils, on behalf of the classovs, presented Miss Brown with a black leather-jewel case, and- JIiss Slacquccn with a leather imting case, as a token of regard from tlioir pupils; r
