Our first annual Christmas Fair will coulmenceWednesdayeDecelnber 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 be 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 Fair, 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, during that fair, help you as well as they. Eaton has been visited. We know what we propose. We will help you ,to help, others. Rein embee the date. J. GRIGG.

Pork is a little on the decline in price, $4.75 being figure ure for the best. Those who have pork should not wait too long for a rise because more money will be lost than saved in the long run.
