A pertinent piece of advice in the e columns a4 late trade journal, ran thus: --However hard yell may have worked during 1889, resolve, to do :a little better in 1890. It is nota diffi- cult matter to see when better and more work might have been done if one cares to .scru,tinize closely,even though the vision be defective and pov- erty to great to purchase a pair of specks. We have noticed a few weak spots in ourselves and inspired by the above bit of advice, resolved to adopt it as one of our rules for 1890 and faith- fully observe it for at least a week. We are trying to put stock in best pos- sible shape, to fill every gap and give every shelf, drawer and corner the cleanness and neatness of a new pin. Our Book, Stationery, Small ware and Wrapping paper departments are in good shape and Fancy goods ever ready to supply the demands of Wed. ding, Parting and other friendly gifts, The patrons of both our Jobbing and Retail trade will kindly accept our heartfelt gratitude for their past liberal support.

A newspaper addressed Mrs. McGinty, McG intyvil le, reached Torontopostoffice from the lower provinces a day or two ago. An official in the postoffice there wrote across it "try St. Catharines." St.Kitts boys passed it on. Some person or persons sawed one of our lamp posts down on Monday even- ing which stood on the corner of James and Main sts. No doubt they were making room for our new electric lights which we hope to have shortly.' Now is the time to clean up. As the past has been a more than ordinary winter, it is justly claimed that people should pay more attention than usual to the cleaning of yards and outhouses. Carelessness iii these matters is what really brings on epidemics of fevers, diptheria, and so on. ' We are pleased to learn that Mr. W Brooks, jr., who has been engaged with the Massey M'f'g Co., Toronto, as steno- grapher, has resigned and accepted a similar position with the Patterson Bros., of Woodstock, at an increase in salary. Will is an honest and bright young man and richly deserves a good Situation.

They= are busy scraping the streets. ' Recent reports indicate that the con- dition of the fall wheat plant is better than expected, and that with favorable weather from this out a fairly good crop will result. Mr. Ted Crowley,of London, formerly yeoman in the township of Usborne, now in the employe of the London Brewing Co., procured a fine team of horses for the above firm, on Monday ►Horning last, purchasing one from Mr. Samuel Stanlake, of Stephen, and the other from Mr. Roger Northcott,of Hay, paying for each tha handsome sum of $185.00. Mr. Crowley seems highly pleased with his purchase. In our last issue we made mention that several defunct bank bills would be taken at par up to a certain date. One lady in our village read the article and remembered that she had one of the bilis but had left it lying around, as she thought it was useless. She made a search and discovered it and at once got it changed. We just men- tion the above to let people know that their local paper makes them more than what they pay for it, as in this case it was a gain of $5.00, in other words would pay for five years' sub- scription. On Monday evening last, while one of our business men was engaged in posting his books in the back part of his store, he was disturbed by some person or persons throwing stones at the back door, which he took little notice of until one carne crashing through the window, when he suddenly made a race for the door and in an in- stant jerked it open, when lo, and be- hold! what should meet his gaze but a pail of water attached to a pole come dashing in on him which wet hin con- siderable. Now, this may be a rich joke for the performers but we cannot see where it was much of a joke for the one whom it was perpetrated upon. Wanted. Never too late to mend. 5000 pairs of boots and shoes that need repairing to be left at the leading boot and shoe store next door to the post office. G. Manson. Sportsmen. Attention! J. N.

We notice that a new feature, which conbine8 the Unique and useful,has just been added to the discoveries in this line. It is photography on silk, or other similar material, which is applicable to hat bands, han.kerchiefs, eibbotis and other articles of dress. Geetleinen can have their portraits transferred to their kat; or handkerchiefs instead of having their initials as a trade markttand ladies can utilize the new art in decorating their bonnet ribbons, kercheifs,&c Oh, its just perfectly lovely, how • many ways you den apply the) edheme, and its bound to have a'big run.'

In Ontario at least in the rural sections, tree -planting is as yet in its infancy. Not a little censure has been passed on farmers for neglecting this important matterand not without some reason. With our farmers the log shanty has given place to the tasteful frame and the substantial brick or stone house; the old ox -cart has been laid a- side for the stylish buggy, and to cor- respond with this and to beautify their fields and roads, more ornamental tree - planting should be done. As a ground- work nothing more suitable can be had than a judicious planting of evergreens. They can be made both ornamental and useful if -properly laid out so as to pro tect buildings, orchards and crops from cold winds. Of course the maples stand pre-eminent for planting on the road- sides. It would, however, greatly re- lieve the appearance of sameness if other kinds such, as our basswood, ash, elm,&c.,were interspersed among them. These, when properly trained, possess a beauty and elegance of which they are destitute when found growing in the woods,with long bare trunks and scrag- gy branches at the top. There are also other varieties that may be grown for ornament and profit, such as our sweet hickory, walnut, chestnut and . other nut bearing trees, and it is 'surprising, with the present .prices of this fruit in our markets, that greater attention is not paid to this class of trees by our farmers. Then the wood. of these kinds of trees will soon be scarce in Ontario for manufacturing purposes, and thus a double profit will be made. Every farmer this spring should plant some of the trees above mentioned for ornament, use and profit. The Free Admission of Fertilizers. Speaking of fertilizers in the House of Commons recently, Mr. Hesson said: "There is probably too much importa nee given by the hon. gentleman who•has moved this motion, to the great neces- sity of fertilizers being admitted free into Canada, There are many members of this House who are interested in the prosperity of the agricultural greatness of Canada. I was led, owing to the notice given by the hon. gentlemen of this motion, to make a brief inquiry into the facts as they exist. I was much surprised to find that the total amount of duty paid on artificial ferti- lizers imported into Ontario last year was $207.80. I thought I would look further, and I found that the duty paid by the Province of Quebec was $50.70, or a total for both Provinces.,of $258.50. I think we have in this fact clear evi- dence that the tax is not burdensome one. and further, that we do not im- port fertilizers to any great extent. The subject, however. should be con- sidered seriously by the Government, in view of the fact that we have enor- mous"phosphate deposits in this country which should be developedin a national sense as well as in a local or provincial sense, and also in the sense of producing s cheaper fertilizer than any we can possibly import, paying the freight, to say nothing of the duty. It must also be remembered that we have the finest salt deposits on the continent, and this a valuable manure; and, under these circumstances;4it is the duty of the Government to consider the advisability of admitting fertilizers free or not. They should also consider the possibility of producing more cheaply fertilizers at home, which will mere than counter balance the disadvantage arising from the two great Provinces of Ontario and Quebec having to pay yearly $258.50 duty on imported fertilizers. Vestry Meeting. The adjourned Easter Vestry meet- ing of the Trivitt Memorial church, took place yesterday 23rd inst. The Bettor, Rev. S. F. Robinson in the chair. The audited' accounts of the church wardens were presented showing on o r - di at9accountreceipts of 933 89 bor- rowed $400, to pay current expenses of $1322.02 ($100 of this amount was a debt remaining from previous years) leaving on Band ibalance of $12.87. The building aeconnt' shows receipts during the year of 8808.72;,, including $500 received from the saleof the old church, borrowed $265, to pay $836.86 on the debt and $236.25 interest on the debt, leading on hand a balance of 6le, The report of the Ladies' Guild showed receipts of $321.87, the proceeds of dine ner on 12th J uly,snbscriptions and con- certs, of thisalnount,$305,40 was paid the organ account, leaving a balanee of $16.47 in the hands of the Treasurer of the.
