Rev. Mr. McKryyon delivered his second lecture on Geology, on Friday night last, un- der the auspices of the Reform Club. The subject is an excellent one, and the lecturer

THE misery in Constantinople and its sub- urbs is said to be appalling. To make matters worse, typhoid fever and anemia everywhere

revail. Soldiers who were sent to their

omés with only a very small instalment of the pay due to them are to be found by doz- ens starving and dying on the road-sides, their farms and homes having been destroyed during the late war.

A LAMENTABLE accident occurred at a wed- ding festivity in Lebo near London, Ont., on the 19th inst. Mr, Peter Campbell was mar- ried, and his brother Robart took a gun to fire a salute, when the gun burst, shatterin one of the latter's arms ‘ato fragments an sending a part of it throigh bis head. He died iostantly. The fatality has cast a gloom over the surrounding country.

Tue Wesr Wixcuester Mourper Casz. — The magistrates before whom the examination of the widow of the late Robert Brown, (for whose murder his sun, Clarke Brown, suffered the extreme penalty of the law at West Win- chester, Ont.), after hearing the evidence were two for and two against committal. The matter has been submitted to the Count Crown Atterney, and his decision is expected to. be given as soon as possible. The general feeling at West Winchester is that Mrs, Brown should be committed.

Tux mail which arrived in this city on Christmas day was twelve hours earlier than usual.’ The mails from St. John and the west arrive ai Pictou at 9 o'clock in the evening, and, under the present arrangement, remain there until the following day at two o'clock, p- m., a period of seventeen hours. We think ao improvement could be made in this regu- lation. For instance, if the Northern Light weuld remain in Pictou over night instead of in Georgetown the difficulty would be over-

come; or, atill better, if she left Pictou some time after midnight, s0 as to arrive in Georgetown about

six o'clock, a.m. By this arrangement the mails could be forwarded to this city by nice o'clock, a. m., twelve hours earlier than at present. This arrangement could be carried out very satisfactorily during the first part of the season. It may be argued that the day- light-is necessary for the successful working of the boat. This may be; but docs she not leave Geergetown at 6 o'clock, a. my, and does she not have darkness for at least one hour, which, in addition to the «two hours night travel caused by the present arrangement, makes three hours. The great convenience which a change would effect recommends itself to the Prevince. We hope the authorities will meve in the matter,

and have the improvement carried out. Read and Learn for Yourself.

Many valuable discoveries and much use- ful knowledge is kept from the worid, be eanse of the immense expense in making them known te the people. This is not the ease with Boschees Feds Syrup, although but a few years introduced into this eoun- try, its sale now reaches in every town and village in the U. S. Its wonderful success in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Pneumonia, Asthma, and all ether diseases of the throat and lungs, was first made known by distributing every year, for three years, over 400,000 bottles to the afflicted, free of chary+, by Druggists. No such a test of merit was ever given before to any other preparation. Could you ask more! Gv to

T this most festive season, when every one is engaged in trying to please, when stores are ransacked for their prettiest treasures and their cheapest stock, in order to make Christ- mas as joyous as in Olden Times, we are offering our quota to this end. Our Christmas Cards are of the most varied character, and indicate, by the way in which they go off, that the 25th will soon be here.

We take this opportunity to place other goods of a more use- ful and not less pleasing nature, before our friends. Our reduc- tions in Mantle Cloths, Dress Materials, Fur Goods, &e., must be very opportune when “ every- body is presenting everybody else ” with something—a sacque, a dress, or 2 muff. We have on hand a large and very attractive stock which will, we have no doubt, meet the requirements and the approbation of the Christmas loving public.

The good cheer which Christ- mas is said to bring is not to be found in the dregs of the wassail bowl, or in a pint of brandy punch, but in the good warm clothing which a benevo- lent public are bestowing on the poor. It is in trying to please others we enjoy the greatest pleasure, and any one engaged in the work of “giving to the poor” or to their own people, cannot do better than give a call at 83, where, in so large a stock, every one must find the ver article they require, and that at a very low price.

Gentlemen will find it the best economy to come to us for Overcoats and Ulsters, of which we have a few left. In our at- tempt to place a good Overcoat at a small price, we have suc- ceeded--every article sold having given complete satisfaction. We have just got in new Linders and Drawers at prices to suit the times.

The Ladies will find at 83, a good assortment of Fancy Wool Work, at very moderate prices. Yarns, &c., very low. Also, a splendid lot of Chenille in var- ious shades, which is much ad- mired an extensively worn. Householders will find at 83 a Tea to suit any taste. Our prices will show the varied kinds. We can give an excellent Tea for 32c., 36., 40c., and 48c. per lb. These prices are very low, when it is remembered that Tea has advanced 4d. and 5d. stg., per ib.
