THE LAST SWANSEA SCHOOL BO ARD MEETING.  EDITOR.  Sir,—Permit me to call attention to the two portions of your report on Wednesday's meeting in which, unintentionally, no denbt, you , fall to do me justice. (1) You report me as clllg Dr. Morgan to order, but you omit the passage in Dr. Morgan's speech which canoed me to rise to order, viz, the statement that Canon Wilson was prompted to apply to the Department in consequence of the change of Government. (2 Again, your report makes me address Mr. Reed apparently with out rhyme or reason , in the remark, " You are always extraordinary." Had you reported the amusement occasioned earlier in the debste by my criticism of the words in the report "no ordinary Irishman," the reader would have understood my point when in referenoe to Mr. Reed's good-humoured refractionness, under the authority of the chair, I remarked that Mr. Reed was "no ordinary member." If sometimes I attempt to relieve the dulness or temper the &acerbity of debate with a jest, it is not pleasant to see it in print in a new dress, minus its point and context. May I, Mr. Editor, delhlately suggest that sometimes your reports give undue psominenoe to the incidents and episodes of debate sometimes amusing, sometimes not, to the excluslon or even condensation of matter more germane to questions under discussion I would gladly submit to the excision of my jokes if only you will give more room for my reasons.—l remain, Sir, yours obediently, J. W. CARON RICHLEDB  A woman in Allentown, Pa., (U.S.) goes to sleep every eveninfr at 9 o'clock, and sleeps soundly until 6 o'clock the next afternoon, and has been keeping up this practice uninterruptedly for eighteen months past.

The Cork cattle dealers who have boycotted the local steamships and chartered their own vessel, have beet, refused through rates by the English railway oompaniee, unless they register themselves as common carriers. This would make the dealers' position untenable. George Jones, a labourer, 22 years of age. sustained serious injury on Tuesday evening, in St. Helen's Road.

Secondly—Nor can I presume to recommend a candidate to any constituency, unless it be in the way of bearing simple testimony, founded on adequate personal knowledge, to his qualifications.—l have the honour, to be, sir, your faithful servant W.
