Several eases have oc turned in thisvicinity lately whereby farmers were put to considerable trouble by cinders not advertising the name.. Many people wonder why merchants allow the pavement in front of their places of business to be cleaned entir ely from snow. Not only does the frost very seriously injure the pave- ment thus exposed, but the absence of a light covering of snow renders them extremely slippery. Sunday's storm was the worst of the season. Snow began to fall early in the evening, and with the increasing violence of the wind when darkness came on, it was in every sense a wild night, and comparatively few attended divine worship. The trains Monday morning were both late, in consequence of the storm. In view of the approach of the Christ- mas season, attention is directed to the fact that no parcel can be sent from Canada to any other country by parcel post unless it bears a customs declara- tion setting forth the nature of its con- tents and its value. Such parcel not provided with a customs declaration will result iu it being sent to the Dead Letter Office.

The third anniversary of the Main Street Methodist church was held on Sunday and Monday, evening 4th and 5th. Dr. Gifford, of Essex preached both morning and evening to a delight ed audience. After the tea on Mon- day evening the Dr, gave bis famous lecture " The Mammoth Cave." Lec- tures are sometimes dry and uninter• esting hut in this case the Dr's. lecture was full of humor, admirable illus- trations and so vivid was his descrip- tive powers that the hearer almost imagined himself to be under ground beholding the beauties and grandeur of the Mammoth Cave. In many re- spects this anniversary was perhaps the most enjoyable that Main Street has had for many years. Proceeds about $100.—Cox. Deadly Carbolic Acid. The Brussels Herald of last week has the following concerning the little daugbter of a well-known pastorwho a few years ago was stationed at Cen- tralia :-A little daughter of Rev. S. J. Allin, 2 years of age, was badly burned by carbolic • acid on Tuesday afternoon. It seems that Mrs. Alen had taken a number of bottles from a cupboard to put them away more safely in a box and they were left for a few minutes on a table. The child got hold of one and at once put it to her mouth and drank some of the contents. Medical assistance was at once secured and everything done to counteract the effects of the deadly drug, but on Wed- nesday the little sufferer was reported very low and not much hope was en- tertained for her recovery.

The Governor-General and Roo, Wiiliaut ; Iuloek, Postmaster General, presided Thursday at the printing of the first copies of the new Imperial penny postage stamp. The central subject is a map of the world in black, with British possessions'bloched out in red. The Crown triumphant is the top piece of the design resting on a support of oak and maple leaves, thus symbolizing the unity of the United 1 Kingdom and Canada. As will be seen from the reproduction at the ]lead of these lines, the words "Canada Post age" aro clearly lettered, and under- neath the map " Xmas, 1898," is record. ed, so that the date of inaugurating the Imperial penny postage scheme may be a matter of record. The figure" 2 " appears at each of the lower corners, thus expressing the denomination of the stamp, and the lower edgeis ablaze with the meaning of the words:—" We hold a vaster Empire than has been."
