SUCCESS OF FRED. GRIFFITFIS. Our popular and talented young townsman, Mr. Fred. W. Griffiths, has added another eisteddfod victory to his already long list of successes. On Wednesday morning he took part in the flute solo competition at the National Eisteddfod in Liverpool, against two competitors, and was unhesitatingly awarded the prize by the musical judges for the accuracy and brilliancy of his performance. Fred's numerous friends in Swansea will remember that at the last National Eisteddfod in Cardiff he was also victorious, and the emcees which has attended his performances, and the general admiration which his playing has elicited in all parts of the country, sufficiently testify to the correctness of the aecision of the Eisteddfodic judges in Liverpool—a decision which was enthusiastically welcomed in Swansea.  The Mayor of Falmonth has received a threatening letter, because he signed the warrants for the apprehension of the survivors of the Mignonette. A detachment of Royal Encineers left Aldershot on Tuesday morning for Portsmouth, where they will embark for Egypt. 'lwo infantry battalions at Aldershot have been warned to hold themselves in readiness to proceed to Egypt.  Between one and two &clock on Sunday morning, a fire attended with a fatal result and a great destruction of agricultural stock, broke out on the farm of Mr. Reeves at Catrnore, eight nines from Newbury. A lad sleeping over the stables was burned to death, and several horsea and other live stook perished in the flames. The fire brigades from Newbury and Wantage attended, and the dwelling-house was eared. One of the labourers was seriously injured, and is not expected to recover. We notice that the meeting next Saturday night, at the Albert Hall, Swansea is likely to be a very interesting one.
