*Pror. J. J. Hogan” delivered a comic lec- turei: the Reform Club Hall on Thursday evening. The Hall was crowded with the great washed and unwashed of the city. When the lecturer had dilated for some time on his wubject, the gas was turned off and the Hall became a scene of turmoil. Stoves, pipe, windews, benches and desks were broken. <A bucket of water, from which the lecturer took many draughts, was thrown over him, and he mnade a difficult escape from the lecture room te the Police Station, where he sought and got protection.

A MEETING of the Commissioners of Agricuiture aud Local Industry fer Queen’s County, for the year 1879, was held this after-

Ricaanp TwoeNe was summoned before the

Stipendiary Magistrate this (Friday) forenoen,-

charged with a breach of the License By-law —having sold lquer to aminor. In answer to the charge, the counsel who appeared in behalf of the defendant, produced an order which was given to the defendant by the father of the minor. The order was a general one. It set forth that tre minor’s father was unwell, and re uested the defendant te give the minor liquor whenever he went for it, as he (the minor’s father) was unable to write, and also unable to go for liquor—which-he was ordered by a physician touse. In [this ease the minor obtained liquor by virtue of the order and without the knowledge of his father. He drank part of it and treated his companions, who were minors also. ‘The court ruled that a ‘‘ general order,” such as the one giyen by the minor’s father, was not legal. The defendant was therefore fined five dollars for a breach of the License Law.

STOGK-TAKING.

W K hereby inform the pub-

lie of this city, and the Island generally, that previous to Stock-taking, we have re- solved to clear out as much of our Winter Stock as possible. We are aware that at this season it is hard to get people to buy even at reduced prices; but in the face of this difficulty we have made up our mind to adopt

Gocds and Dress Goods at a sacrifice. Our Goods have been very

cheap all winter, as the run of trade we have had fully testifies. Our store has become the resort of those Ladies who know how tomake a penny go a long way, and who know a cheap article when they see it; and when we say we are going to reduce the prices of our Dress Goods and Trimmings, we know we shall be believed. We are particul- arly anxious to clear out. our present Stock, in order to intro- duce as much of the newest style of Dress Material as possible, and at the very lowest prices. We shall make special prices on Black Cashmeres, Black Meri- nos, Black Cords and Lustres, Lustrines and Brilliantines.

Our Fancy Wool Goods will be sold at less than cost. Our Stock of this class was the larg- est, most select, and finest in the city, and the remains of it will be sold at a great sacrifice.

Blankets, Quilts, Horse Rugs, &e., will be cleared out at great Bargains.

We make no apology to the

Tea-drinking public for drawing | their attention to our fine |

3 $2,

flavored and rich Teas, 36, | and 40 cents per Ib. They are

receiving the highest praise, and

{

those who use them, strongly, recommend them to others. Our, trade in this article is growing rapidly. Tea appeals to the most subtile of the senses, and. as the proof of the pudding is in the eating, so the proof of the Tea is in the drinking. Friends, try it.
