There WAS lee.
A maiden fair with sun -kissed hair
came tripping. down the street; the air
was keen, her age was "steen", and,
readers, she was sweet. The sidewalk
was sleet, and she went off her feet,
with a jolt that shook out her curls, and
the words she used must be excused,
for she's one of our very best girls.
Business chance.
The "Palace Grocery" which has
been conducted for the past two
months by M. Vincent, has been pur
chased by Mrs. Ed. Bissett. Mr. Bissett
will manage the business and no doubt
will command a fair and liberal pat-
ronage. We understand Mr. Vincent
will accept a position as traveller. He
wishes to thank his manv patrons for
their kind support during his short
stay in the business arena.
Sick List.
Mrs. John Gillespie, has been very
ill the past week, with a severe attack

attack of lung trouble.—Mr. A. Hast•

This may be so.
"As a general thing says an author-
ity, a cold, steady winter, such. as we
have had so far, is an advantage to the
general business of the country. Cat
tle come in a better condition in spring
after a cold winter than they do after
open ones, such as we have had in On
tario for the past five years. There is
nothing which insures with more cer-
tainty a
er.-
taintya good crop of winter wheat
than to have it lie for weeks under a
heavy coating of snow. Such a snow
as we have now protects the roots of
the plants, keeps the ground warm,aud
renders it less subject to upheavals
from the frost in the spring. And it
is claimed by many that a heavy fall

agent (ammonia) of considerable value.
The Editor's Duties.
A newspaper w P
m
a ,r
p p an has no business to
seek office. It is his business to try
and get an office for the other fellow;
to sound the praise of the candidate
and keep quiet hie own feelings; to
whoop her up for his man, and let his
man forget all about him when he is
elected; to defend his candidate against
the unjust attacks of the opposition,and
see that whatever favors, his candi
date' has to restow goes to the other
fellow. It is his business to boom the
City y for all it is worth, mouth after
month, and then see $100 worth of
printing go out of• the city because ten
cents can be saved in doing so. It is
the business of the newspaper to give
every enterprise a frequent "send orf,"
and then earth sheol because he had
failed to record the fact that some
preminent citizen had his delivery
wagon painted, To subscribe liberal•
ly to every` public, charitable and
church entertainment, advertise them
for nothing, pay his owu way to every
thing and then be called prejudiced
and mean spirited because a column
is not devoted to that particular affair.
Do you wonder that there are so many
cranks in tic news paper business?—

Destructive dire.
A most destructive fire and on

lief of hundreds present, who were in
dread that the fire would spread to
other buildings. It was supposed to
have originated from a defective shim

The loss is considerable, say nothing
of the inconvenience. Too much credit
cannot be given the firemen and citi

occassion. They feared nothing and
some of them ran great risks with
their own lives, but they felt they had
a duty to perform and they performed
it nobly. The engines also did excel-
lent service.
