A. Downs, ,-Chief of our local fire brigade, . ,,by the secretary of the Underwriters' Association. "Following our usual custom at this season of the year I beg'te call your attention 'ta the danger to life - and property from Christmas dedora- trons, displays, etc., . which, are Ire- quently'rnade at this time of the year. The use of Christmas greens, harvest specimens and other inflate - able materials • such as draperies, scenery, cotton to represent . snow, and the like, (especially in Connection with • electric, and (then'.

A. special meeting of the• • Public school board was held on Thursday evening last, when general business was transected. At the regular meet- ing, held the week previous, . the property committee was instructed to have the .pump removed from the well at the school and advertised for sale, it being no longer needed, ' -water- works having been installed. It so happened, however, that several families in the vicinity„ of the sehool had been using water from the well and as it is impossible to get water- works in until spring, these people were being very much inconvenienced. 1t Was decided, therefore; at the. last meeting to replace the pump and leave the same In until June 15th next, the families being benefited to re-einburse the board for -the cost of rotaoving and replacing it. The fol- lowing very satisfactory report was received from Inspector Robb : "I beg ?Lave to report that T vis- ited your school on Nov, 16th, 17th and 180. As usual, I found the wheel house and premises in a per- fectly satisfactory condition, The progress,, management, discipline and order of the various rooms were quite satisfactory ; everything was runn- ing as smoothly tee clock work. The two new teachers seem to he quite eonmett nt to do the work assigned to. them. The trustees and teachers have so lined up to the mark that there is nothing to criticize advetxsely in the entire management of the school.

Having lived sanely and wholesomely, life has not palled upon hien. With clean-cut •convictions of right and wrong he has always had the courage of those eonvietions and has defended his prineiples without flinching.
