A GREAT }IIT has been made in The Rfiantrie a ek AT Thi Nrom Perhaps there's nothing unusual in this circumstance, for iu one way or another we're constantly making; some happy move favorable to the buyer. But we've au idea that the Mantle Hit is of peculiar interest to a large num- ber of buyers at the present time. The hit consists in part itt the very large assortment of Mantles to be found in this store. Another hit is the beauty and freshness of our new stock of man - ties. Beacity, yes BEAUTY, for no house in the trade can produce or show more perfect fitting or better .appear. ing coats, WE LEAD, hear this fact in mind. What is newest you find with us. We never saw such wonder fug value in mantles. Come and give us your opinion. $5.00 buys from us a Jacket worth at least x$7.00. $6.00 buys from us a Jacket that would be cheap at $S 00. $8.50 is syliat we ask for a regular $10.50, mantle. Some very special lines in mantle snd ulster cloths and sealettes. Some ay that sealettes are too expensive. We don't know the depth of your purse but if you can stand. $6.00 a yard, we will sell you a silk sealette that will knock the wind clear out of any $8.50 sealette in the trade. We make seal ette coats to order, guarantee fit, guar antee trimmings,•what more? We will. give you more value for your money than you ever got in mantles before, Try us. J. A. Stewart.

There was delivered at the Mansion 'House on Monday and Tuesday eight large boxes of fruit trees and shrubs comprising 275 orders. The delivery was made by Mr, J. Taylor, of the late firm of Pontey Ps Taylor, nurserymen, of London. Every tree and shrub ap- peared to be in a good healthy coedit ion, giving good satisfaction to each purchaser. This is the largest consign ment distributed in this section for some time and no doubt will give the best of satisfaction. It is beyond all doubt that " vlyetlo Navy" is the favorite tobacco with the smokers of Canada, They obtain more enjoyment from it than from any other tobacco made, and those of thein who have used it long ,enough to test its merits never abandon it for any other brand. The reason for this pI•eferece is that the"Myrtle Navy" is made ef the very finest leaf which is grown and that in every process of its manu- facture the most vigilant care is exer- p g roma cased to reserve the canine a o the leaf. t Do You Know Ch liR 0 Big Bankrupt Store is overstocked with men's aed bey& overkoats, more over 1oats than they 1 non what to clo with: Do you want one or t'o, you can have •, thorn at tory low.pueab.

The farm contains 75 acres, and Mr, Doyle has secured a good investment for the money. The cold weather continues and is. causing much suffering among the poor. Snowstorms prevailed inthe midland counties of England on Mort - day, and in Wales the mountains for many miles look as though in was mid winter. Mr. L. H.

QIi Monday, before Justices Lewis. and Eitber, Mrs. Dickey charged Win. Cunningham and A, Hodgins with breaking her windows, and other of- fences. The prosecution failed to prove that the boys brake the window, but did succeed in showing that the boys wore out uutil 3 o'clock asps , and that they were in rather a "beery" state. The case was dismissed. Although the precise date of the meeting. of Parliament for the despatch of business has not bean decided upon, it it expected that it will meet mach earlier next session than usual, either on the 12th or the 17th of January. This will doubtless be welcome news to members of both Houses, as it rend Ors the probabilities of having to sit in the stuffy Commons chamber during the "dog days" remote.
