ceived. For the present they have

tions.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER, -Wm. James, of
London, was in town last week visiting
with his brother, H. James and shaking
hands with old friends. Mr. James has
recently invented and patented a new
hand fire extinguisher which has special
features that mark it a very desirable
appliance for the early extiuguishing of
fires. The most striking of these is a
new indestructible acid bottle which
does not break or corrode. never needs
renewal and does not spill the acid until
the apparatus is put in operation. With
this is added an arrangement of parts
making it the simplest and surest of
operation of any we have yet seen,
With the extiuguisber which Mr, /tunes
ltad with hint, in spite of tine somewhat
high winds, he was able to throw a
stream to the height of his brother's
hotel, and in the evening explained its
operation and illustrated its effective-
ness to the Reeve and members of our
town Council and several citizens,
When farmers and business men lose so
much in steel< and time throtlgh tires,
which, with an apparatus like this might
be so easily extinguished, it seems al.
most Criminal that they do not install
one or more in their barns or stores to

'i'RtntTE OP A FRIEND.- The Kingston
Whig says of Inspector Robb's brother :
-On December 5th, zgo8, at hist resi-
dence, Patrick street, Kingston, died
Joon Robb, in the seventy-third year
of ltis age. Born in the Old Country
he had the misfortune when but ten
years old to contract a disease which
rendered him lame for life. Deprived
thus of the power to earn a livelihood
by labor, he courageously set to work
to qualify himself for teaching. Not.
withstanding many diacou•agements,
he succeeded in graining a high stand-
ing in his profession. He came to Ca-
nada with his parents in 1855 and
began to teach in 1857. For several
years he taught on Amherst Island,
and tor nineteen years in Pittsburgh,
and in bath places there are plenty of
men and women who remember with
affection their old teacher. For John
Robb was a model teacher, a man
who besides being a good scholar
and well posted in all the subjects he
taught, possessed the faculty of im-
perting to his pupils what be knew
so as to impress it on their minds
Mr. Robb was a great reader, with a
fine memory, and those who argued with
him had to be careful. Sometimes,
perbap4, inclined to be a little too strong
in his opinions. he was vet a very kind
hearted and charitable man, and . be
loved by his many friends, by few more
so than by the writer, after an aogeaint•

The Value of Economy
Many people fail to save, because they do not realize
the importance of small economies,
The practice, once begun, of laying aside a portion of
your income, no matter how small, every week or month,
will soon become a fixed habit.
The result in a few years will probably surprise, and
certainly gratify you.
