This quilt brought a nioe round sum.
On the whole the committee realized
better financially tho.n they expected.
We understand, the proaeeds, some
fifty odd dollars, are to go toward the
purchase of an. organ for the Sunday
gchool. A very hearty vote of thanks
was given to our worthy chairman, who
performed. the duties of the chair to
the satisfaction and enjoyment of all.
Thus closed a very pleasant and profit-
able evening's . entertaintnen.ts--eONE

EXAMINATION.—A very successful ex-

Tuesday, December 17th. The house
was well filled', there being some eighty
visitors, including several visiting teach -
ars. The drills in the various subjects
were thoroughly set forth by the teach-
ers in attendance and the manner in
which the pupils acquitted themselves
reflects much credit on themselves and
their teacher Mr. McCall. 'But the
chief feature, not to be forgotten, was
the good things on plates and in teacups,
provided for the occasion by the ladies
of the section. After the usual pre-
liminaries, a lengthy programme of
readings, recitationsaiongs and dialogues
was carried out in good style under the
supervision of Mr: Ireland as chairman.

speeches by the teachers and parents.
The proceedings of the day closed with
a vote of thanks to the ladies for supply -
ilia "pies and cakes," and by singing
the national anthena—Cora.
QUITE A WOOD BEE.—Wood bees
are the rage in the country. One took
place the other day on the estate of
Robert Laidlaw that knocks_ out any-
thing of the kind we have heard of yet.
The morning breaks rather dull, but the
boys are bent on cutting some wood. for
Uncle Bob. At 8 o'clock in the morn-
ing men armed with saws and axes are
leading for the attack, at 9 o'clock they
are into it, at 11 o'clock twenty-nine

signs of life. During the last 11 min-
utes the fastest time of the day is made

!, ENTERTAINMENT. —The annual Sun-
day School entertainment was held in
the Methodist church on Thursday even-
ing of last week, and was as usual a very
pleasant affair. All present were liber-
ally supplied with candies, nuts, etc.
The distribution ef the handsome pres-
ents on the Christmas tree added much
to the evening's entertainment. The
young people in connection with the
church acquitted themselves very credit-
ably by giving a good programme of
music, readings, recitations etc.
Speeches . were delivered by Rev. R.
Godfrey, of Belgrave ; Rev. A. W.
Tonge, of 13lyth ; and Messrs. Hogg,

tion and ran away. The rig was totally

severe cuts acroea the heed; the horses
and driver escaped injury.
PRESENTS TO TEACHERK. —Miss Christy
Halliday, who has successfully taught
in Union school section No: 3, Morris,
for the last three years, was° presented
with a handsome gold chain and locket
by the, pupils of her school. As Miss
Halliday's certificate has expired she in-
tends taking another course at school
for the purpose of securing a higher
grade eertificate. May she be as success-
ful in the future as she has been in the

same purpose as Mies Halliday.—Mr.
Black, teacher in school section No. 3,
division No. 4, Morris,. was also made
the recipient of a valuable present by
the pupils of this school. Mr. Black
will teach in No. 3, for another year.
NEARLY A -FIRE.—About 8 o'clock
on Saturday night as David Flemming
was returning home from his work he
discovered the Methodist church to be
on fire, and at once gave the alarm. On
entering the church the cause of the fire
was at once ascertained. It appears
that after the entertainment the church
• had to be scrubbed out, and in order to
have it th,oroughly dry for Sabbath ser-
vice a very hot fire was left burning in
the stove, behind which lay a few sticks
of dry wood. The heat from the stove
was so great that the wood caught fire,
and when discovered the floor around
the stove was burnt through. In a few
minutes more the firewould have been
beyond control and a serious conflagra-
tion would have been the result.
Lakelet. •
OBITUARY.—On Saturday last the
widow of the late Colonel Young passed
peacefully away to her heavenly home
at the ripe age of 88 years. She was
held in high esteem by all who knew
her and her life was truly a living tes-
timony of ,a noble, christian character.
Her remains were interred -in the Lake -
let cemetery on •Sunday.
LOCALITIES.—Mr. E. King, our en-
terprising blacksmith has purchased a
commodioas residence and ohop in this
vtllage frora Mr. James Wright. -Our
village cap now boast of -having two
chopping mills in full blast. Owing t�
competition the charge —has been re-
duced to 4 cents per bag.—Mr. John
Hoovey and Mrs. W. Halladay, we are
sorry to say, are not showing any
signsof recovery from their illness.
Both are in a critical condition.
EXAMINATION.—A public examination
was held in the school in section No. 1,
'Howick, on Friday lest. Notwith-
standing the disagreeable nature Of the
day and the rnuddy state -of the roads,
quite a number of parents and visitors
found their way to the school house,
which was tastefully decorated with
evergreens and flowers. The following
teachers were also present and assisted
in examining the classes, viz., Messrs.
Thomas Hamilton, J. R. Balfour, Wm.
Watters, Fletcher and Cooper. The
pupils passed a very satisfactory exam-
ination in the various classes and show-
ed clearly by their answers that they
had been taught to think and observe
for themselves. The ladies of the sec-
tion had provided. an ample supply of
eatables, which all present heartily
enjoyed. The pupils added much to
the enjoyment ot the visitors by giving
several well rendered recitations and
songs. The day's proceedings were
brought to a close .by, the pupils pre-
senting their teacher, Mr, John David-
son, with a beautiful album and a very
complimentary address. Their teacher,
though taken entirely by . surprise,
made a very touching reply. Mr.
-Davidson we believe, is engaged to
teach in Union Section, No. 13, How -
ick and Turnberry for next year, at an
increase of salary.
Care of Hens.
Let the henhouse face the south, m-
at least arrange so that plenty of sun-
light can be given in this way and pro-
viding for plenty of sunlight during the
winter. Arrange also to afford good
ventilation during the summer or when.
evet 4 may be needed. Good boards
well battened with tarred paper on the
inside a7il1 make it sufficiently warm for
all ordinary purposes. A shed roof will
be the cheapest, especially for a small
house such as ordinarily will be needed'
on the farm. Have the nests in the
darkest corners of thei roost and nests
are all to be in one room. Make the
roosts all on a level, and arrange so that
they canbe readily taken down to be
cleaned when needed. Flat 'strips are
preferable to round poles; plane smooth
and oil. a. The nests, as far as possible,
should be made in the same way; as it
will be necessary to take = down
and clean them, as well as
to change the material in the nests. If
the nesto are made permanent the work
of keeping clean will be considerably in-
creased„ and in planning this kind of
work convenience must always be
considered. Then' with nests that are
easily taken down the work , of white
washing and cleaning will be much
less.
A house of sixteen feet square will or-
dinarily he plenty large for all the poul-
try that it will be desirable to keep on
an average farm, with the exception of
ducks, and a separate piece should al-
ways be provided for them, as it is not a
good plen to keep them with the other
poultry. An earth floor will answer
proyided it can be kept dry, but if not
then make a tight board floor. There is
another good advantage in a hoard floor
and that is it can be cleaned easier. A
board -floor at least ought to be provid-
ed for feeding grain and other materials
upon and be made so as to be cleaned
readily, as filth in any form breeds dis-
ease. Properly managed. poultry can
be made very profitable, but in doing
this a goodhouse will be found almost
indispensable.
—Mr. John Miller, who resides on the
Staffa line, was badly taken in the other
day. A sleek -tongued young man call-
ed at his place and secured employment
to work on the farm. He said he had
$2,000 in a Stratford _bank, and pro-
posed to go and 'lift it before commen-
cing work. Mr. Miller lent him an over-
coat and $18, and the fellow went:away,
and has not been heard from since.
—The Grand Trunk workshops at
Stratford have closed down for three
weeks and the, workinen are not tco
well pleased over the fact. It will en-
tail considerableToss on the men and
will also be felt by the Merchants and
fancy goods dealers, at this Christmas
season:
—The Jury returned a verdict of
guilty against Christian Strickert, of
Logan, in the woollen mill burglary
case tried at Stratford. Judge Woods
sentenced Strickert to three years in the
Kingston penitentiary.
—A Shakespeare correspondent says:
It is seldom that a more heartless case
is exposed to the public, than that
which we up at last Division Court
here. It appears that a rich farmer of
Smith Erusthope holds a valuable farm,
subject to a small aliment to his mother,
who is now over 90 years of age. At no 0

Live Stock Markets.
MONTREAL, December 24.—There were no exa
tra cattle among the offerings to -day, and 4 -
cents per pound was about the highest price
paid. Good beeves sold at 4 centa to 4i cents
per pound; pretty good stock at about 3a cents
ditto, and conaron dry cows at about 3 cents
per pound. There did not seem to be Much de-
mand for mutton critters, but they were held
at firm rates, old sheep selling at from 4 cents
to 4i cents per pound, and lambs at 41 cents to
6 cents ditto. There were no fat hogs on the
matket to -day, and ithe latest sales reported
were a little:under 4eicents per pound.
LIVERPOOL', December 24.—It cannot be mid
that trade has improved this week, and, in
a fact, the market is weaker all round, with a de-
cline of about ac. per pound, best steers being
eluded at 12c. Receipts have not been so
large, but the demand is very light and the
mild weather adds to the ieregularity in busi-
ness. Receipts of ,Canadian and United States
cattle have been fair, while general -supplies
have been light. The following were to-oay's
quotations, being calculated at $4.80 to the R,
(sinking the offal) : Finest steers per pound,
12e. ; good to choice, llac. ; poor to medium,
104c.; inferior and bulls, 9/e.
Horse Markets.
leforrarme Deceenber 24.—The horse trade
has been very slack of late_ partly owing to the
unfavorable weather and bad roads, but things
are likely to improve after the holidays. The
shipments of horses' from here to the United
States last week were two stallions for breeding
purposes, one of which cost 81,200 and the
other a-500. There were also 67 common horses
which cost 86,974 on an average of 8104.00 each.
The highest priced lot were 16 horses which
cost 82,020 and the lowest priced lot were I8
horses which cost $1,559, or an average of 886
each.

DR. WASHINGTON graduated in 1872 at
Victoria College, with honors; also passed the
examinations of the College of Physicians and
Surgeons the same year. In 1881 and 1883,
visited the best Colleges in America, taking a
special POLYCLYNIC course of DISEASES OF
THE THROAT AND LUNGS. Since has de-
voted his whole tinie to this speciality. The
success of his NEW METHOD OF COLD IN-
HALATION, by which "Cold laedicated
Vapour " ie conveyed directly to the seat of
disease, is almost marvellous.
DISEASES TREATED:
Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness, Chronic Bron-
chitis, Asthma, ConsumptiOn, Loss of Voice,
Removing Enlarged Tonsils from the Throat,
Growing or Polypi iron/the Noire, etc, withont
the knife.
Question.—The question has been asked, can
Catarrh and Consumption be permanently
cured?
Answer.—Catarrh can be as per W. 11. Storey,
who has been cured over two years (no return)
and hundceds of others. Consumption can be
if -taken in time and the patient has a good
family history.
Mrs. Armstrong, of Cornwall, has been cured
and is well to -day, after four years. Read her
testimonial below :—
Die WASHINGTON,
Dear Sir.—I am happy to say that your treat-
ment has tntirely cured nie. My case was
considered hopelete, and I did not e xpect to re-
cover, having had several attacks of bleeding
at the lungs, night sweats, cough raising large
quantities of matter, gave up all hope of ever
getting well, but I am thankful to you beyond
the expression of words for your timely treat-
ment which saved my life. All who are thus
afflicted should apply before it is to late.
Yours Truly,
1138-52 MRS. GEO. ARMSTRONG.
