-Mr. Joseph Case has bought the store

and will go into the grocery and boot
and shoe business. -Rev. James Living-
ston, of Aylmer, preached to large au-
diences morning and evening in the
Methodist church on Sunday. He also
lectured on Monday evening, under
the auspices of the Ladies' Aid Society
of the congregation. The subject was
"What I saw at the World's Fair." He
is said to be an able and entertaining
speaker. -We are advised by interested
parties that the reference we made last
week to Mr. Joseph Case, of the London
Road South, and his best girl as attend.
lug the Kippeu concert, on Friday
evening, Dec. 11th, was untrue, the
parties not being present. We are
sorry (we shed several large and lus-
trous tears', that unwittingly and trus-
ting to information, thought to be cor
reet, we gave them credit for being
there when they were not. We do not
wilfully or knowingly misrepresent or
injure any one personally, and as, the
joke seems to have been foundationless
(as far as the concert was concerned)
and as the parties seem to have taken
it seriously, of course we apologise and
hope to do better next (concert) time.
The reference to feminine beauty and
the attractiveness of the coniferae and
more particularly abies excelsa we will
not apologise' for. -The Sacrament of
the Lord's Supper was dispensed in
Carmel church on Sabbath morning
last,' to a large congregation. At the
preparatory service on. Friday, the Rev.
Joseph Elliott, of Nairn, delivered an
able sermon from the text "For me to
live is Christ." He skewed that the
religion of Jesus Christ when taken in-
to the heart becomes the prime mover,
the dominating power ruling and con-
trolling the whole life. It dominates
and ennobles the intellectual life, it im-
parts that true poetic sentiment which
is the very soul of life and without
which life weuld be barren and unin-
teresting; and it becomes the main
He said that some people in applying
the text to their own lives would have
to translate it"for me to live is pleas-
ure," others "for me co live is money"
and still others "for me to live is ambi-
tion. He skewed how empty and un
satisfying are all these things and how
that Christ alone satisfies the desires
and longings of the soul and makes
life worth living, -Rev. Neil Shaw, of
the Presbyterian Church, Egmondville,
will preachlin Carmel •church on" Sab-
bath morning next, the pastor being
absent, preaching in the interests of
foreign missions. -For the coming year
Rev. 3. S. Henderson will take upout-
line studies of the books of the Bile in
teaching his bible class, in lieu of the
usual international lessens. The change
is made at the desire of a majority of
the scholars. The moving of the class
from the basement to the auditorium
of the church is' also contemplated. -
One of our "society" belles is said to be
interesting herself in the labyrinthian
perplexities and technicalities of legal
jurisprudence, There is nothing like
aiming high, but it will be up troll
climbing. -Sixteen members were add-
ed to Carmel church roll on professions
of their faith and admitted to the Corn
lnunion on Sabbath last, besides seine
five or six by certificate.

a pearl handled pen. knife. On return-
ing he missed his trousers making a
search he found -them lying in the din•
ing room and emptied of their conteuts,
which amounted to between $8 and
$10. An entrance was also gained to
John Lott's residence in a similar way
to the above but the marauder did
not fare so well, he getting nothing for
his trouble save an ;empty pocket boot
and a plug of chewing tobacco.

a mile and a quarter northof.here, sent

cattle were handed over to the purchas
er, and the money. $110, was paid to
the man, Not returning Mr. O'Keefe
went to Mitchell during the night and
called up the chief of police at Stratford
who ascertained that the Man had pur-
chased a ticket for the Pacific Coast,
and left on the evening train, and must
have been then half way between Port
Huron and Chicago. -This is one side
of the story, but the other side is, that
most of the money was due for wages,
and being unable to collect it, owing
to some dispute, the man thought this
a good chance to get even with his
employer, and did so, securing not only
the amount due, but good interest as
well.

Never before in the history of the
Wells & Richardson Co., manufactur-
ers of the celebrated Diamond Dyes,
have they been so completely deluged
and weighed down with mail matter as
at the present time. Thousands of let-
ter orders are crowding in from all
parts of the Dominion for the great
popular Ten Cent Combination that
was advertised a short time ago. The
avalanche -of letters is so vast that a
largely increased staff of hands is nes
essary to attend to it. The enterprising
Diamond Dye firm have been obliged
to hold over for a few days some thous-
ands of orders before filling them.
This fact should discourage no one;
there will be no disappointments; every
order received will be well and truly
filled, as steps have been taken to

NAVAL ARMAMENTS'
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS DEMAND-
ED BY THE POWERS.
Prance, Germany, Italy and Holland --
They All Lay the Theme on England--
Mobilization
ngland-Mobilization of the English Special Ser-
vice Squadron Last Winter the Cause.
New York, Doe. 21. -Harold Frederio
sables from London to The Tribune:
1'he Parliaments of Europe will be asked
this winter for sums of money for new.
armaments, afloat and ashore, which
amount in the aggregate to several
hundred millions of dollars more than
was ever thus expended before.
France must increase her navy because
Germany is adding to hers; poor ;Italy
must follow suit on account of France,
and all of them combine on. laying the
ultimate blame on England, whose sud-
den mobilization of the special service
squadron last winter was taken deeply to
heart on the continent.
The French Chamber will offer no
such resistance to the demand for aug-
mented naval grants as is certain to be
made in the German Relohstag, but one
can understand the predictions of the
calmer minds in Paris that the French
taxpayers will eventually rise in bitter
p otest against the idiotic policy of trying
to make France superior to Germany on
land and equal' to England at sea.
France, with her stationary population
and cruel burden of taxation, is doing so
badly in a business way underher stupid:,
tariff system that M. MelIna's paper, La
Republique Francaise, is actually afraid,
this year, to print the November trade
returns, which are the worst Franoe has
known in twenty years.
Even little Holland has caught the
maritime infection and will spend$80,000, -
000 next year on a big naval construction
scheme Involving new men-of-war,
cruisers, torpedo boats and so forth,
building everything herself.
In addition to his . demand for a huge
extra naval grant, it leaps out that the
German Emperor has also been advised
to extort from the Reiobstag, If he can,
a sum amounting to something like $50,-
000,000 to be used in re -arming the whole
artillery with quick -firing guns It is
said to have been discovered that France
has secretly made greaeprogress in sup-
plying the army with these now weapons,
and R ililiam, after his recent visit to the
Krupp works and his inspection of the
secret inventions recently • perfected
there,hegan elaborating with his military
advisors the grand project • mentioned
above. It is understood that the scheme
has not yet been sanctioned by the Bun•
desrath, so it can as yet hardly be called
Ministerial. Its premature disclosure
may knock it all on the head, unless,
indeed, the German "reptile press" can
get up a war scare lurid enough to coerce
the Reichstag by frightened popular
clamor.
BANK DOORS CLOSED.
Prominent Chicago Institutions Go to the
Wall --Serious Failures Likely to Fellow.
Chicago, Deo. 21. -The. National Bank
of Illinois, located at 115 Dearborn
street, and one of the oldest and best-
known banking institutions in the city,
with assets amounting to nearly $15,000,-
.000, did not open Its' doors this morn-
ing. This notion was decided upon by
the directors of the bank at six o'clock
last night, after the bank had been sus-
pended from the Clearing House Associa-
tion.
The. cause of the suspension is "unwar-
rantable and injudicious loans," through
-which "the capital and surplus of said
bank is seriously imperilled, it not abso-
lutely lost."
. At the last statement of the bank its
capital was shown to be $1,000,000,
with a surplus of $1,000,000 and nndi-
vided assets of over $300,000. It is
thought that none of the depositors will
suffer great loss by the suspension.
The National Bank of Illinois is the
second largest bank and one of the oldest
known of the national banking institu-
tions in Chicago. Ir was organized in
1871 and successfully passed through the
fire, the panic) of 1878 and all the finan-
cial disturbances since. The eastern cor-
respondents of the bank are the Mercan-

A Ito wat Eat Portage.
Rat Portage, Dee. 22: -Rumors have
reached town of a serious fracas in con-
nection with the blanket surveys of
which so much has lately been, heard. It
appears that a well-known mining man
had commissioned a local surveyor to
make somesurveys for him without
regard for the presence upon the proper-
ties of certain prospectors who had made
some valuable discoveries thereon.
When, however, , the 'surveying party
went out it was met by •a determined
crowd of mining men, who seized the
surveyor, smashed his instruments and
drove the party from the field. This is,
of course, only one side of the story. ;1.P.
this sort of thing continues, however, it
is feared that shooting may become a
feature of local mining:

How London Looks at it
We observe that the wonderful posi-
tion attained by the Family Herald and
Weekly Star, of Montreal, is attracting
the attention of great American and
English publishers who •appear to be
amazed that such 'a success could be
achieved by a Colonial paper. One
English paper sent a representative to
Montreal and he is now engaged in en-
quiring into the organization of the
Star and its huge achievements.
Christmas `` Farmer's Advocate"
The farmers of Canada have receiv-
ed a great treat in the Christmas Num-
ber of the FARMER'S ADVOCATE, of
London, Ont. It is a unique and val
ulable production, the splendid articles
and illustrations of which give prob-
ably the best representation ever pub-
lished of Canadian agriculture. Able
representative writers in every pro-
vince of Canada, from British Columbia
to Nova Scotia, discuss its Tendencies,
Needs, and Prospects. Robt. Elliott, a
true Canadian son of the soil, strikes
the keynote in his bright little poem.
"Take Heart of Hope, 0. Farmer."
The ADVOCATE has done a distinct ser-
vice to the country in issuing this fine
Christmas Number, which goes to every
new subscriber for 1897. We notice
that the paper continues to be 'publish
ed, twice a month in large size, and oh
and after Jan. 1st will appear in a col-
ored cover, (" gold "tint,) together with
a largely increased contributing staff
of the ablest and most practical writers

Seaforth: Mr. James Nevills, of the
Seaforth marble works, met with an ac-
cident last week by which he has been
confined to the house since. It seems.
that while carrying some wood into .
his shop, he struck his knee cap against
a large stone, which was near the door.
It pained him for a short while, and
then he thought no more of it. In a
couple of days, -however, it started to
pain him again, and so quickly did the
pain increase that It was with great
difficulty he managed to reach home. •
Medical aid was called in and he is now
progressing as well as can be expected.
He will be fortunate if he escapes hav-
ing a stiff knee, as accidents of this na-
ture generally result rather severely.
As it is his knee is very much swollen.
Blyth• The creditors of the estate
of Jessop & Co., general storekeepers,
have decided to investigate the affairs

Pleased With Her First
Experience.
A wife and mother living in St. J• hn,
N. B. says:Pleas.'nt-
I shall ever
ly remember my first experience with
Diamond Dyes, My husband had;.a
Sunday coat that was getting to be a
dingy and faded shade of brown, He
needed a new one very badly, but
could not afford it. After a day or two
of very serious consideration, I suggest-
ed that the coat might be dyed a good
black, and stated that I would under-
take the work. I had never dyed any-
thing before; having beard how easy it
.was to dye with the Diamond Dyes, I
bought a package of Fast Diamond
Dye Block for Wool and proceeded with
the operation. 'I was quite nervous
and fearful lest I would 'completely
spoil the coat; but after following close-
ly the directions for dyeing, I was over-
,t
over-
joyed with my victory. Twassuccess-
nl beyond all expectations, and my
husband was delighted: The coat when
dried, pressed and finished looked like
a new one from a tailoring establish-
ment. - Thanks ' for your magnificent
dyes.
