The moon's first change of phase began at 32 min• utes and .9 sezonde after 5 o'cleek. Then at 44 minutes and 9 seconds after 6 o'clock the earth's actual shadow was entered.

DEAR BRYAN—In renewing my su')- scription for anoLher year, for the "Lucknow Se tine!," I take pleisure in telling you, (what I Oink you ought to know) how much your paper is ap preciated by us. As it comes to us each week, it is just like a letter from heme. We see in it, an item here, and another there, that probably would not attract our notice at all, if we still lived in the good old town of Lucknov, the place of our youth; even the names of old friends mentioned in your paper from time to time, seem to do us a whole lot of good. We receive, at least a fcore of daily and weekly paper b and journals, agra- gating at least $40.00 or $50.00 per annum, but no matter how rnany comes in with the "Sentinel," it is the first one looked over. While stopping at the house of a friend in New York a year or two ago, the "Sentinel" arrived as usual. You ought to see how eagerly we scaned the columns; each remarking that we would sooner loose any other paper, that came to the house, than loose the "Lucknow Sentinel." Even the advertisements make fairly good news to us that are " Far Frae our Hame." Yours sincerely, A constant reader of The Sentinel from its first issue.

The principal ea,ture of the day was to pay over the school monies to the different school Treasur- ers in the tawnship. The council r9om was crowded for about 3 hours in the afternoon. After all it was considered tbe qdietest meeting in fourteen years. At 6 o'clock the busi- ness of the day was concluded, also the finish for the year of 1899. —Do not patronise the pecidlars who are pestering the public these days.

Patronize the krzal merchant) and turn the poddlar down. —Farmers in Ontario are not mark- eting their grain freely just now. The chief reason is the prices quoted. They seem to be of the opinion that the markets will improve later, and are holding their grain in the expecta- tion of getting better prices for it. Prices at Ontario points at present compare very closely with those o(ls* year at this date. •*•••••••
