Christmas a Fair. • Our first annual Christmas Fair will cornuneuce'Wednessday,December 10th, at noon and continue until. Monday, December 31st, closing with the old year. A Chicago street .Arab, lately found by the police, lying for greater warmth underneath the side- walk, has gained for himself name and fame, through the care shown for a dove, found partially hidden in the rags that barely protected his bosom, and which he had reared and fed, with a portion of the few crusts he had been able to secure for himself. His future is made. A good deal of that spirit remains with us. and not- withstanding the depression which has affected nearly all classes, Old Christmas will not be allowed to die, but for the sake of the greater gift our lesser ones will flow and be scat- tered broadcast, none the poorer, though many be much richer. Sab- bath Schools, Public Schools and private parties of all classes will give and feel it more blessed to do so than receive, though the pockets be light and pence few. We would like to help and for this purpose we propose our first Christmas Pair, and for once, at the bare cost of handling goods, making it unnecessary for you to think of Eaton or McKendry, Mara or Woods. We can,dnring that fair, help you as well as they. Eaton has been visited. We know what we propose. We will help you to :help others. Remember the date. J. GRIGG.

An exchange gives this timely hint to farmers :-"It does not always pay for farmers to wait until the holidays to market their fowls, but it is hard to im- press this fact on their minds, The majority of them hold every fowl until a few days prior to the two great holidays, and then the .market is so completely glutted that they are obliged to take what they can get. If they would commence now and market them gradually, and save a few choice ones for Christmas time they would realize better profits," Finder's Keepers. The law of finding is not generally understood, but it was declared many years ago, and it is well to note the case and decision. A visitor to a store found a wallet containing a sum of money. ITh banded the wallet with its contents to the merchant, to be returned to the owner. After three years the owner having failed to appear, the finder demanded the wallet and the money from the merchant. The latter refused to deliver them on the ground that they were found on his pre- mises. The finder then sued the shop- keeper. It was decided that, against all the world but the owner, the title of the finder is perfect The receiver of an article found is only a trnatee, first the owner, then the finder, if the owner does not appear. The receiver has no right to keep an article against the finder, any more than the finder has to koep it against the owner. Personals Revs. Messrs.

The idea that "people will buy Cbri''t mag presents any way" is good so far goes ; but the newspaper ad. yery o decides them as to where they will chase. The oyster social on Wednesday evenin last, under the auspices of the Epworth League of Main St. church was successful iu every respect, Attendance was large, while the program, whicn partook of the character incident to such occasions, was well received.

Hodgins and Wells Shouldice have been released on bail. Edward Shouldice being remanded back to jail to answer to another charge of stealing goods from Mr. Fred. Brown of Clandeboye, A correspondent to the Brussels Post says: "We are of the opinion that many of our agricultural societies make a mistake by offering prizes for the fastest farm road stet.. There certainly can be no good reas- on given in favor of anything faster than a good walking horse on the farm. On the other hand, give a farmer's son the idea that he has a fast horse, and in nine oases out cf ten he will prove a failure. Sub- stitute walking horses in place of trotting, or else pull down your sign." Rev. Prof. Thomson of Knox College, died at his residence 14 Nassau et., To. ronto, on Sunday 9th inst. aged 37 years, Prof. Thomson was minister at Hensall for a number of years where he was held in very high estimation. He contracted a cold in the fall of 1883 while attending to his pastoral duties; this kradually developed into lung trouble which event. - unity was the cause of his death. He was a man of beautiful character and great force of will. His wife died two years ago last June, and he leaves no family. Prof. Thomson was born in Scotland, but began his student life in Clinton High School, afterward winning a high position in educational circles. Four years ago he was appointed professor of apologetics and Old Testament literature in Knox College, where his work has been marked with great success.
