A Chicago street arab lately forma by the pollee, lying for greater warmth underneath the sidowalk,has gained for himself, name axrd fame th.on gh the care shown for a clove hound partially hidden in the rags that barely protected his bosom, and which ho Lalli reared and fed with a portion of the few trusts he had been able to secure for himself His future is made.

Invitations are out announcing the Fifth Grand Assembly of Div. No 1, Ancient Order Hibernians, to take place in theTown Hall, St. Marys, on Wed- nesday eve,,., Dec. 26th. Among those on the committee we notice the name of our former townsman, Jas. Egan. Mr. Thos. Cornish, of Exeter, has purchased the Stephens farm, situated in. Blanshard, 1 miles south of Wood ham, for the sum or-' $4,300. The farm le an excellent one and is considered very cheap. There is a fine brick house on the premises and a splendid frame barn. He will move thereon shortly. A noticable difference has been ob served in the way of better light from the street lamps during the past few nights. The reason assigned for the improvement is that the inspector, who was here a short time ago, detected a certain part of the machinery in con- nection with the dynamo out of order, thus causing a very poor light. We may expect better results in future. Farmers are warned against a new Swindle designed to entrap the un- wary. A stranger comes along and asks permission to affix a bill on a fence,and finally offers $1 for the exclusive use of the fence for the purpose. The farm er generally accepts and signs a re- ceipt for Si, which comes back to him through a bank in the shape of a promissory note for a large amount. Mr. John Elliott, of Dungannon, is one of the farmers who has fully tried the feeding of wheat and other grains to his stock, and he finds it quite pro• fitable A lot of hoes sold the other day realized hire at the rate of 80 cents a bushel for his wheat, which is a much higher price than the giain itself is likely to bring. Re says he has not sold a bushel of wheat on the market in two years Mr. D. Spry. Postoffice Inspector, paid the Exeter alike an official visit last. week. His report is indeed a most satis- factory one, and one which the worthy postmaster, Mr.D.Johns, and his efficient clerk, Mr, F. W Collins, may justly feel proud of. He says the duties pertaining to the office is in every degree well performed, being conducted in the most business like manner of any he has yet yisited, To those who are interested in good farming and stock -raising Tun C ANAD• IAN LIVE STOCK AND FARM JOURNAL is becoming quite a boon. The cutting down of prices and bad times general- ly make it necessary for our agricul- turists to exercise the greatest care in order to secure the proper returns for their labor THE CANADIAN Llvn STOCK AND FARM JOURNAL contains just the kind of information necessary to assist them in the work. •1'he subscription price is one dollar per year, and an in- vestment of Ibis kind is one that should prove profitable, The JOURNAL'S ad- dress is 20 BAy STREET, TORONTO.

Remember this is not the weekly news but the daily. Don't Ask Them to do it. The Postmaster General has warned all postmasters and post office clerks against addressing letters for the pub- lic. This was the outcome of a case recently tried, in which a postmaster had been asked to addressa letter, con- taining money and before reaching its destination had been tampered with and a part of the contents removed. The case was ventilated but could not be traced up,owing to the fact that the let- ter had been addressed by the post. master, and o avoid circumstances of a like nature, the Postmaster General deemed it expedient to prohibit the practice, so often indulged in by post- masters.

For 50 years the Weekly Globe of Toronto has had an enviable reputation as the one great Liberal weekly of the Dominion. It has always been a high- class journal, and a welcome visitor in thousands of homes. It was never•bet- ter as a newspaper than it is today. The Globe's enterprise is proverbial. Its correspondents have traversed and and written up almostevery section of the country, All great events have been fully reported. The speeches of leading politicians, whether on the floor of Parliament or on the stump, have been presented as they were ut- tered, and all fairly tree ted, wheth• er Liberal, Conservative or Patron. The Globe is the only weekly paper in Canada that gives such full and fair reports of Parliamentary proceedings, great church meetings; and other simil- ar occurrences of Provincial, and nat• ional interest. Among leading features of recent numbers may be mentioned speeches by Mr. Laurier, Sir Jno Thomp- son, SirRichard Cartwrigbt, Mr. Marler, Mr. Haycock, members of the Ontario Cabinet, and others; letters from mem- bers of The Globe's editorial staff who travelled through the Province of Que- bec and over the route of the Trent Valley Canal, interviews and letters on that most important question, the re• fern of the law system, long reports from the scene of the ,Jessie Keith mur- der, the McWherrel trial, and other sensational events, The aim of The Globe is to be trustworthy. The Globe has the best cable and telegraphic ser- vice obtainable; its foreign, American and Canadian despatches are unexcell- ed, and eyery week she whole world is brought under &view. The agricul- tural department is right up to the times; the crop and market reports are full and reliable. Reasonable space, is given up each week to lighter reading, and good stories is one of the Globe's attractions. Another popular feature are the weekly contributions from the Khan's poetical pen. As a family newspaper The Weekly klobe is un rivalled.
