James and James of Swansea, conducted a very successful sale of property at Gorseinon. twelve lots were offered, including two shops and 10 houses, which were all disposed of at very good figures. This, we believe, was the first sale of importance at this growing young place and the result was decidedly satisfactory to property holders there. We regret to have to record a sad event this morning. Mr. Richard Scantlelairy, the only surviving son of Mr. Scantlebary, of the firm of Scantlebury and Mann, died very suddenly 'Omit 10.30 on Tuesday morning of heart disease. The sympathies of all will be extended to his family.  On Saturday morning Mrs. F. Jones, painter, Coldstream-street, left her two children in the upstairs room,in which there was a fire burning, and it is supposed that the youngest child, a boy of nearly four years old, named Rees Jones, got out of bed, and getting near the fire his shirt was caught by the flames, and the child was soon enveloped in flames, and it received such severe injuries that death ensued. The annual conference of the clergy and laity of the diocese of fit. was resumed at Carmarthen on Fridsy morning, when the Lord Bishop presided. Two towns were named for the place of meeting next year—Aberystwith and Swansea, and on the motion of Archdeacon James, seconded by Mr. J. Coke Fowler, it was decided by a large majority that the conference should be held in Swansea In 1890.  Many of the friends of Mr. Ben.

The Bishop of Llandatf, speaking at a clerical and lay conference at Cardiff, expressed his approval of the Welsh Intermediate Education Act, and said there was probably no one who did not look with pain and regret upon the unsucceessfal attempts of the Government at the close of last sesaion to amend the law relating to the recovery of the tithe rent charge. If there was any change in the existing law it must be one which made the landowner, and not the tenant, directly responsible for the payment of tithe. A resolution was passed to the effect that the Conference desired a measure to be passed next session establishing the direct liability of landowners for tithe, and providing that it may be recovered in the County Court, or by distraint.
