pats of the country from Monday,

mas day. Watch and see. If you
don't have it yourself, read the tele-
graphic report of yoar own and other
countries. About' -Christmas day the
front of a cold wave will be found
heading up from the north westand
during three or tont days following it
will spread eiist and"soath over most of

will have rough and diing,erous sailing

iod is due_ the last three days of Dec-
ember, during which time the cold

Ricks' Forecasts for December.
December begins in the midst of reg-
ular storm period, near the centres of
the Mercury and Venus disturbances.
A low barometer, with generally
threatening weather and active storms
will spread over much of the country
from west to east, by the first -and 2nd,
ola, and ralns willhave turned to snow and
sleet in the west and north with a
high barometer, blizzard andcold wave
enming into VieW from the north-west.
8,bame of the heaviest and most general
sleet storms of the winter, will most
likely transpire on the 51±, extending
to near the middle of the month. The
moon began on the celestial equator
on the 3rd, heavy storms, with elec-
trical phenomena southward, are like
to continue until, after that date.
Threatening and unsettled. weather
may be generally'expected with renew-
ed storm of sleet and snow about the
5th and 6th. These are reactionary
storm days, calling, for falling. baron'
eter, change to warmer and ram, turn-
ing to blizzards of sleet snow and
cold wave. Look for some, boreal
weather over most parts of the coun-
try between the 5th and 91±. On and
about the 91h, another low barometer
will start eastWard from western ex-
tremes. It will grow rapidly warmer,
and by the 111± marked storm disturb-
ances will be organized and ,starting
on their eastward journey. From
about Wednesday, the 11th, to Satur-
day, the 14th, these storms of rain,
sleet, snow and gales will pass over
the country to the Atlantic coast.
We caution our readers against the
possible blockade of sleet and snow at,
this Storni period and against the
sweeping cold wave -almost sure to
follow the storms. The north Atlan-
tic sea and coasts isill be visited se-
verel3r by winter solstice storms about
this period. From about the 101± to
201± of Deeember each year there is a
marked tendency to boreal, North-
weserley gales, with low barometric
areas eouth ward, Peculiar magnetic
disturbances attend these storms. the
cold, hlizaardous winds even fro in the
Nor thW est frequently cha rgin g all sorts
of exposed objects with electricity.
From about the 101± to 18th is another
reactionary period. On and touching

--On Thanksgiving day the home of
Mr. Robert Moir, a very muchrespect-
ed resident oE our village, witnessed a
very pleasing event. We refer to the
meeting of Mr. and Mrs. Mbir's four
daughters, Mrs: George T.i,yckman, of
South Boardman, Michigan; Mrs.Wm.
Russell, of Hay; Mrs. R. W. Fulton, of
Hensall, and Mrs. Jarnes McArter, of
Brussels. The sisters have not met all
together for over 23 years, arid it is
needless. to say that a pleasant time
was spent by all. It was a cheering
time in the life of Mr. Moir, who is,and
has been, confined to his home as an
invalid for quite a length of time. The
event was still further no an inter-
esting one and to be remembered by?
having photographs taken of those
present.—The Observer says: N. Can -
tine has received a remarkable con-
signment consisting of four cars load-
ed with interior woodwork of theTal-
naoral hotel, Montreal; such as doors,
sashes, wainscotting and every other
imaginable things. It is to be hoped
that when ,these are placed in the St.
Joseph hotel that the sanguine expect-
ations of this genius of finance will be
fully realized.—The many friends of
AmbroseSmith will be pleased to learn
that he was able to leave for his home
in Forest on Saturday. He was ac-

soon be able to resume his work
among us.
MA RRIA.HE.—On Wednesday of last
week the home of G. F. Yungblut was
the scene of a happy event, when his
eldest daughter, Miss Bertha, was unit-
ed in marriage to James Bontlaron,

lishment. The ceremony was perform-
ed by Rev. Geo. Jewitt, under a floral
bank.' The bride,escorted by her fath-
er, looked very attractive in a wecl-
difig dress of white organdie, with
long train, and carrying a bottquet of
white roses, Miss Staab, of Goderieh,
played the wedding march, and Miss
Flossie Bonthron, sister of the grooin.
"acted as ring bearer, and Lily Young -
blot, sister of the bride, as maid of
honor. After the ceremony the happy
couple were warmly congratulated
by the assembled guests, numbering
about 50, after which all partook of
