TO OUR PATRONS"
A pertinent piece of advice in •the
columns of a late trade journal, ren
thus:—HoweVet' hard you may have
worked during 1859, resolve to do,
little better in 1890. It is not a diffi-
cult matter to see when better and
more work might have been dens if
one cares to scrutinize closely, even
though the vision be defective antipov-
erty
ndpov-
erty to great to purchase a pair of
specks. We have noticed a few weak
spots. in ourselves and inspired by the
above bit of advice, resolved to adopt it
as one of our rules for 1890 and faith-
fully observe it for at least a week.
We are trying to put stock in best pos-
sible shape, to fill every gap and give
every shelf, drawer and corner the
cleanness and neatness of a new pin.
Our Book, Stationery, Small ware and
Trapping paper departments are in
good shape and Fancy goods ever
ready to supply the demands of Wed-
ding, Parting and other friendly gifts.
The patrons of both our Jobbing and

heartfelt gratitude for their past liberal
c upport.

The New York Ledger for March
22n 1 contains the first installment of
an Irish story of to -day, by HAROLD
FREDERIC, will set the hearts of Irish-
men on fire. The story is called "The
Martyrdom of MAIIv." The name of
the heroine is MARv. She is a.beautiful
and accomplished girl, and it is her
martyrdom,suffered for her lover's sake,
which is described. The story is full of
intensely incident, and is told with a
simplicity and pathos which go
straight to the heart.

The professions are being over -crowd-
ed and none more so than that of school
teaching. The Statistical tables of the
voluminous report just issued by the
Educational department for 1888, con-
tains a valuable lesson for young men
and women who are preparing for
teachers' examinations with a view of
following the profession. Take, for
instance, these two items, put them
side by side, and then draw your con-'
clusions: Total number of public school
teachers in Ontario, 7,273; number in
high schools preparing for certificates,
7,776. After weighing these facts it is
not surprising to learn that the aver-
age salaries of public school teachers
are, males, $424; females, $292.

The Bissett and `Walper Arbitration
This was an arbitration arising o
of a Division Court action, referred
Messrs. David Mills, A. Holland an
R. Sanders as arbitrators and was
matter of old standing accounts, note
etc., between the parties. Mr. Bisse
claimed $92 on account, and $55 on
note. Mr. Walper disputed the plai
iff's claim, claiming a much les
amount to be due. On Friday evenin
the arbitrators met but owing to th
absence of witnesses enlarged the hes
ing of the evidence until the followin
evening when the evidence in full wa
taken. Last night the arbitrator
made their award, finding Mr. Walpe
indebted to Mr. Bissett (after allowin
Mr. Taipei• payment for certain ha
to the amount of $22.05) in the sum o
$52,46; in other words, allowing. M
Bissett $30.41 as the balance due hi
from Mr. Walper. the arbitrators fui
ther decided that each party pay hi
own costs. The award seems to satis
fy all parties. Now let peace, friend
ship and good will prevail. Mr. J. El
liot acted for Bissett, r r.. i -. Dickso
for Walper.
The Destructive Sparrow.
The English sparrow was introduce
ink) this country because it was believ
ed to be an exterminator of bugs an
grubs which were injurious to the farm
ing and fruit -growing community,bu
it has been conclusively proved tha
the little bird is a fraud—that it invar
iably prefers a,meal of fruit or grafi
to an insect—and indeed is a nuisance
The British farmers put a similar esti
mate upon the sparrow's usefulness
In a lecture before the Paxton branch
of the Chester Society of Natural Science
Mr. Beecroft, a Cheshire farmer, said
that some idea of the loss occasioned by
sparrows would be gained from the
fact that taking the acreage of wheat
grown in Cheshire at 19,940, the loss
at four bushels• per acre at 4s. 6d. per
bushel represested the sum of £17,946
to Cheshire alone, and if the acreage. of
wheat grown in England was 2,321,-
604, and the loss taken on the same
basis, it would represent a total loss of
X2,089,353 12s. It was not only in
this branch that the destruction was
carried on, but the sparrow destroyed a
great quantity of early white oats.
One member thought the total loss not
less than £5;000,000. Several members
were in favor of exterminating the
sparrow, but they hardly know the
colossal character of the job they re
commend. The sparrow came to stay.
Abiteary
Mrs. Rollins, who died on March 22nd
1890, in the township of Biddu"i ph, aged
79 years and 9 months, was born in
Ireland in July, 1810. Her maiden
name was Eliza Thompson'. and was
married in Ireland to Mr. Robt. Rollins.
In 1836 she emigrated to Canada with
her husband and four children. The
family came to Biddulph, then a howl-
ing wilderness, and settled on lot 9,
con. 3, of that township. There the
family lived and the remainder of the
children were born. In 1837 she re-
mained at home with her children sev-
eral miles from a neighbor iii a dense
bush while her husband took his gun
and went away with the i'oldiers to
suppress the rebellion of that year.
She lived through all those trials to
enjoy a modest competence and see her
familygrowho
up to manhood and woman
hood. She had a .family of eleven
children, three of whom are dead, two
daughters and one son. Her husband,
aged 86 years, and six sons and two
daughters survive, her. Of her sons

Ata regent meeting of the Dover
lodge of kreemasons, a presentation of
two engravings was made to tho lodgo
by the mayor of Dover. One of the
prints was a portrait of the Hon. Mrs
Aldworth, of Newmarket, iounty Cork,
the only female Freemason, ever init•
toted. She was the youngest and only,
daughter of the Right Honorable Ar-
thur St. Ledger, created first Viscount
Doneraile, June 25, 1.703. The origin
of the'lady's initiation seems to have.
been that, having secreted herself in a
way so as to observe the proceedings o
a lodge, she became so agitated as to
reveal her presence.'. After a long con=
suttation by the brethren,•it was decid
ed that Mrs. Aldworth should herself be
initiated into the mysteries of Freemas-
onry.—Point Edward Post,
