TREAT AT THE DAP/IN.—On Saturday, Messrs. Phillips, Smith, and Cu., gave a treat to the children of the school, numbering 250. They met at two o'clock, when they formed into procession, headed by the Dafen brass band, the manager of the works, Mr. It. Maclaran, and the Rev. Messrs. Davies and Jones. The Loyd were under the conduct of Mr. Edmund, the master; and the girls under the charge of Mrs. Morgan,, the mistress. After perambulating the locality they returned to the school-room, which was decorated with flowers and evergreens, where a plentiful supply of tea and cake was provided. After all were satisfied the children repaired to the play-ground, and enjoyed themselves in rustic sports, receiving prizes, in caps, ribbons, and ties, from the young ladies ; the band playing various airs at intervals. Later in the evening they returned to the school-room, where they were presented with a bun each. The proceedings closed by the children singing the National Anthem. Among the visitors were Mrs. Nunes, Miss Nunes, and the Rev. J. Brackenbridge. LLANELLI( SPECIAL AND PETTY SESSIONS were held on Wednesday last before D. Lewis, J. H. Rev., and C. W.
