Furs We have yet to bear of an evening's' entertaiziment in which a. number of children enjoyed themselves as, did the scholars of Trivitt Memorial Sunday School on New Year's Eve. It was the event of their annual Xmas tree and the rector assisted by a num- ber of adult, members of the church joined in such energy that it was hard to say who were enjoying themselves the moss -the old or young. The parents provided a good supper for the children. '1 he Xmas tree was. ladened with sweetmeats and fruit which was distributed among the children -all getting a portion. Too much praise cannot be given to Rev. Hunt for the efforts he made to give the children a good time and they will no doubt remember him for time to come. anccessffttl Canthdaten Serenaded. The citizens' band serenaded the Councillors elect for 1896 on Tuesday evening. Commencing with Councillor Snell they called on Councillor Treble.,. Deputy Reeve, T. B. Carling and Councillor Taylor by whom they re ceived a warm reception. The "boys" inform us that a "good record" is prom- ised to the electors for the coming year. Th_ir last call was made at the resi- dence of our chief executive, Reeve elect, Wm. Bawden, Esq., where a re- ception that capped any that the"boys" ever had tendered them. They were made to feel right at home from start to finish. Reeve Bawden's private and public life are one—he is the same con- vivial spirit, first, last and all the time Mrs, and Miss Bawden provided a sumptuous repast and before the "boys" left Mr. B. thia his share which has al ways been characteristic of his interest and liberality to the hand. The serenade closed at 11 o'clock and will not be re peated until 1897, Death of Heigh Edward i,loulat. Death, in its immuitable certainty, bas east a lasting gloom over the house- hold of Mr. Richard Gould, Carling Street, in the unexpected and almost sudden death of his son, Hugh Edward, which occurred on Saturday last at the early age of 18 years and 10 months. That one so young, so healthy in ap- pearance, with every indication of many promising years ahead of him, should be suddenly and unexpectedly called away before reaching the height of his Just two Ladies fur capes, and four mons fur coats, and a few Ladies sets left in stock.

He scarcely knew what a day's sickness was till about a week previous to his death when he complained of a slight affliction in one of his wrists. So trif- ling did it appear to him that he paid little or no attention to it until the next day when pains of a similiar na- ture coursed through his feet and legs and it was then the nature of his case assumed a serious aspect. Medical aid was summoned, but all to no avail, he was suffering from an acute attack of inflammatory rheumatism which grad- ually and surely ebbed his life away. He was cared for by his immediate relatives most assiduously but no hu man power could avert the stroke of death, He was of rather reserved dis- position, but was true and kind hearted and will be greatly missed by his com- rades. His parents wilt have the heart- felt sympathy of the entire town and neighborhood. No words can convey the condolence extended in their behalf ; nor will words afford any measure of relief from the severe shock and pro- found affliction his sudden demise has plunged them. The funeral, headed by the Royal Tempters, of which body he was a member, took place to the Ex- eter cemetery on Tuesday and was largely attended. rersonatIfiention. Geo.

The Hensall Observer says:—"In Ex- eter they have not seen Santa Claus for years. It is said he did visit the place once but he blushed fearfully at the size of the stockings he saw and his face became so red that it melted all the snow and he hard to go home on wheels." A young lady in town on reading the foregoing says she has of ten wondered if Santa Claus ever vis ited Hensall, and if so where he put the Christmas gifts. For if the ladies wear stockings there the holes at the top are so small that he would never find 'them or if perchance he did there would be a bigger one at the other end.
