24th th . Albert. street• window of the
Palace (Hadgeas Bros.,)+ was prettily
dressed,' with red; white and blue
bons strung yip pod across, and fasten-
ed at each, cpr • er with a bunch of flow-
ers.' In the centre of the window was
a May pole, and dolls, dressed in the
color of their, ribbon. to represent
dancing the May Pole. , Thera other
.front window had in it a full'eyed fig-
ure of a lady, dressed in muslin. These
windows were a. great attraction to the
eight seers, and ;really were beautiful.
The I uslnessl ;nen generally have lately
gone greatly into window displays,
and make some very attractive ex-
hibits, involvingconsiderable labor,

NEARLY DROWNED. -The two -and -a
half -year-old child of Mr Adam Foster
had a narrow escape, from drowning
on Tuesday. While playing around
a neighbors yard. it is su'ppoeeid to
have pulled the lid off the cistern, and
the lid evidently pulled the child into
the water. How long it was in is not
known, as it was not missed for some
minutes, but Mrs Granger, suspecting
something wrong, looked in and caw
the child at the bottom of the cistern,
in four feet of water, apparently dead.
She managed to get it out, and was
fortunately familiar with the means of
rebuscitation,and worked with the child
until it showed signs of life; a doctor
having been called, also worked with it
a couple of hours before it was out of
danger. Mrs Granger is entitled to
much credit for her presence of mind.
