A GREEN CHRISTMAS. -- The Christ- mas of 1889 will long be remembered as not only green,lbut also a stormy Christ- mas. The heavy rains of the previous days had poured their accumulated waters into the Maitland, and the lat- ter's tidelran very high, -higher than it usually does in spring. About one o'clock on Christmas day the flood was at its height, and a feeble stream was trickling over the confining dam. The flood -gates, however, were removed end the waters gradually suPsided without serious damage. The following day was marked by a great gale of wind, one cf.; feet of whieh was to blow off tlteisquare front of Reeve Sanders' harness shop. .X.m.as ENTERTAINMENT. -Christmas is the children's season, and the children of the three Sunday Schools here can. not complain of having been overlooked. Entertainments were held by all three schools last week in the town hall, and each was, if possible, more "successful than its predecessor. The English church people, Methodists and Presby- terians vied with each other in provid- ing for the scholars of their respective Sunday Schools the brightest and most enjoyable of prograrnmes, and the most heavily laden of Christmas trees.

Farmers will find it to their interest to market their produce here. -Don't forget the meet- ing of the East Huron Farmers' Insti- tute here on the 13th and 14th of .January. Every farmer should attend. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE. - The friends of Mr. Robert Clark, at one time tenant of the flour and oatmeal mills here, but lately of Augusta, Kansas, learned, with deep regret of his recent sudden and mysterious disappearance. It seems Mr. Clark, who owns and operates a mill at Augusta, had been on -a buainess visit to Kansas City, where he facts of the case are as given below the names of course, being withheld*: ' Ealrly lastspring a middle-aged man, nd his from a mained the 16 - representing himself as single name all Jackson, secured wor farmer in Eltna, with whom he r for the summer. He sought quaintanoe of the daughter of a neigh- bor and under promise of marriage, ac- complished her ruin. He received let- ters from the Stateseone of which con- tained a Photo of a wornan and ohild, which happened, to iall into the hands of his employer and aroused his suspicions. This woman proved to be Jackson's wife as became evident by a letter written by her to his employer, and making enquiries about him. He made good his escape leaving the. poor girl w„hO had trusted hina too well to bear her disgrace alone, and which proved too much for her mental balance. The people of Elma are eminently law abiding, but we would net advise this fellow to be seen near the township again. -A few days ,ago in Stratford a scene was enacted on Downie street which, while a source of amusement to a num- ber of the witnesses, had alsoits pathet ic side. A man carrying a child of about five years of age was seen to issue in some haste from a residence in the neighborhood of the station, and close in his rear a woman, lustily raising the hue and cry of "Stop the man! he is stealing my child !" The man's appear- ance indicated a previous Struggle in which; like Tam O'Shanter's mare, he had not come out scatheless, for he was minus the skirt of his coat, which from the waist down had hen left in the clutch of violent hands. Several citi- zens who happened to be at hand barred his progress and fora time it seemed as if the child would be torn li lb from limb, the woman in the struggh4 being dragged on her face on the sidewalk. Some of the spectators constituted themselves a court of inquiry and the following was elicited: The man is the father of the child, and the woman is the mother I of the man and therefore the child's grandmother. The child had lived with its grandmother from its birth when its mother died. The young man, having again entered the matri- monial state, wished to get possession of his child: The grandmother objects, bence the trouble. This is at least the second unsuccessful 'attempt on the part of the father to get his child. He lives M a western town in this Province. Loma Notices. AT LAIDLAW'S-All kinds of Fish in season.

In the upper part of this building is stored each winter a large supply of ice, the cold air from which keeps the store- room beneath at about freezing point , during the hottest weather.

We have determined to abandon the packing of dressed hogs in- order to wake the packing of hogs a business throughout the year. We shall endeavor to buy at whatever the price is, enough live hogs during these months to run our pack- ing house. As this business is being, neglected during the late winter and spring months, we think those who have hogs suitable for our re- quirements will reap a big benefit. We want hogs not less than 140 pounds, and not over 220 pounds and will give a handsome price for the same. Recollect we shall not buy es dressed hog this winter, whereas we packed 15,000 dressed hogs after January 1, lard winter. J.
