BREMNER BROS.

This firm has again displayed a degree of | enterprise in opening for the season, the | store alongside their establishment on} Queen Street. By doing so, they are | enabled to make a full exhibit of their large

stuck of Christmas goods, and thus allow

the purchaser to make an easier and better

selection. In this store they make a) specialty of Christmas Cards, new styles of | photugrx.ph and autograph albums, writing | desks, work boxes, elegantly bound books | of all descriptions, including standard | works. The Christmas cards are in great

variety, imported from celebrated makers, | such as Raphael Tuck & Son, L. Prang «| Co., etc. They are of the present years) design, are of the most beautiful character,

and are sold low. There is also to be found

at Bremner Bros., a magnificent stock of | photograph frames in velvet and plush, gold, | pearl, hand-painted, etc. Don’t fail to} inspect.

JOHN MACPHEE AND CO.

This firm is among the most thriving in the city. Their store contains an immense atock of dry goods of the latest importation and best quality, which are given to the trade at moderate prices. Mr. McPhee, | the senior member, informs us that he is, | during the Christmas season, giving ‘‘real bargains” in dress goods, winceys, flannels, ladies’ sacques, ladies’ ulsters, knit wool goods, millinery, and dress goods. Parties who want good value for their money in dry goods, should call on Jobn Me- Phee & Co,

ROBERT HUESTIS.

Mr. Huestis occupies one of the neatest Hardware Stores in the city. It is in Me- Eachern's new building on Queen street, next to the store recently accupied by him. His stock is large and varied, and consists of hardware of every discription. Although Mr. Huestis has not had time to make particular selections for the holidays, parties visiting his store will find many use- ful things suitable for Christmas presents or New Year’s gifts.

W, R. BOREHAM.

The store over which hangs the Sign of the Elephant still flourishes. In it can be found all kinds of boots and shoes from the the tiniest dolls boots to the No. 11 brogan. Mr. Boreham makes a speciality of women’s and children’s fine boots. While looking in his windows we see not food for thought, but coverings for the feet. Those who wish to have warm feet should not pass him by without a call, as he is giving a discount of 10 per cent. on all goods pur- chased for cash until the end of the holiday season.

W. E. DAWSON AND Co.

This hardware store is the largest and best stocked in the Province. In it can be found every description of wares, which are directly imported from the best market and sold at small advances on cost. The firm, during the holiday season, are showing one of the handsomest stocks of silver-plated ware ever imported from England or the United States. It consists of Tea Sets,

Communion Sets, Ice Pitchers, Cruet Stands, Breakfast Tets, Pickle Stands, Cheese Boxes, Dessert Stands, Biscuit

Boxes, Cake Baskets, Butter Coolers, Syrup Jugs, Toast Racks, Silver Waiters, Celery Stands, Salad Bowls, Sets Individual Saltz (in cases), Fruit and Fish Knives and Forks, Enuamelled Tea and Coffee, etc. Card Receivers, Card Cases, Jewel Caskets, Bou- quet Holders and Vases. They have also a large stock of cutlery, by the best makers, all of which will be sold at a liberal dis- count during tie holidays.

DORSEY, GOFF AND CO.,

who have one of the finest Boot and Shoe manufacturing establishments in the Mari- time Provinces, report doing a rushing business during this season. They have now employed between fifty and sixty hands, and although the factory is running on extra time, they are unable to manufac- ture enough to supplythe demand. Dorsey, Goff & Co. informs us that they keep a large imported stock on hand, but the Boots and Shoes, of their own manufacture, seem to daily grow in favor and give the best satisfaction. Both the wholesale and retail business is increasing and shipment of goods from their establishment have already been made to New Brunswick, By keep- ing up the style and good quality of the work they expect to increase the wholesale trade throughout the provinces, and the retail trade at home during the coming year. There line of holiday goods deserves to be inspected. L. BE. PROWSE

Who has a well furnished Dry Good Store on Queen Street, advertises that during the holiday season he will give special bargains in all departments. His stock of tweeds, winceys, wool squares, scarfs, saques, is very fine, and overcoats, reefers and ulsters are well made. He also has men’s fur caps, etc., all of which he will sell at great bargains during the coming two weeks. Call and see him. ;

FRASER AND REDDIN, whose Drug store is on the South side of Queen Square, are during this season offering to their customers, an extra assort- ment of meerchaum and briar pipes, hand-

by the bottle and

on draft, and a good |

variety of essences, ail of which they recom: |

|mend and sell at a small profit. HENRY BEER,

Mr. Beer’s store is situated on the South Side of Queen Square. It is the most complete general store in the province. This year he advertises Christmas supplies which he can well recommend to his numer ous customers. They consist of teas, sugars, coflees, fruit, confectionery, canned goods, pickles, etc., as well as a lot of articles suitable for Christmas presents and New Year’s gifts, such as fancy glassware, vases, handsome Japanese tea trays, cruet stands, painted flower pots, unique coal vases, etc. All who wish to make selection from a general stock of good goods should call on Mr. Beer.

J. D. MACLEOD,

Mr. McLeod has always a bountiful supply of the freshest and best groceries on hand, and he sells them at low prices. At this season he advertises something extra in the way of canned goods, and recommends his customers to the choice brands of Crosse & Blackwell, of London, in canned meats, soups, prepared jellies, jellies, bottled fruits, apricots in syrup, jams, candied peel, pickles and sauces. He has also all kinds of canned fish and meat, rice flour, pea-flour, and choice tea, which he says keeps peace in all families, and can only be had at the ‘‘West Corner House.”’ If you want your palate tickled call at J. D. McLeod's,

A. A. BALDWIN AND CO.

Among the most essential stores which require to be visited during the holiday season, is that of the baker. Here among the best is the City Steam Bakery, which is always stocked with the best biscuit and crackers anywhere to be found in the Pro- vince, imported or otherwise Besides Mr. Quirk’s stock of soda, wine, fruit, lemon, and fancy biscuits which he daily manufac-

THE CONFECTIONERY,

Last to-day, but not by any means least, at this season is ‘‘ The Confectionery” at the South Side of Queen Square. This institution is under the special patronage of old Santa Claus himself; and ordinary mortals who want goodies for Christmas should call at once, and avoid the crush on Saturday evening.

The Concert Last Evening.

The audience was a fine one; and the growing appreciation of good music was quite manifest. Though there was still far too much stamping with feet and thump- ing with sticks, the conduct of the “boys” was, on the whole, better than usual. This was a practical indication of the good- ness of the music; for music sufficiently powerful to calm, tc any appreciable ex- tent, the savage feet of some of our young concert. goers, must be good indeed. A correspondent with the rather unmusical psendonym of‘‘ Alligator” critizes the several performers ; and we shall not doso. No doubt there will be further corres pondence on this interesting tppic. —>- <>< ————

Obituary.

The uncertainty of life, and the brittle- ness of the thread that binds mortality with immortality, was painfully illustrated in the sudden and unexpected death of Alex. McSween, a respected inhabitant of New Glasgow, who departed this life on Wed- nesday, the 13th inst., aged 53 years. The deceased arose on Tuesday morning in his usual health, and at breakfast told his family that he intended going to the forge to get his horse shod. Shortly afterwards, he went to the stable where he found that a cow had broken loose, and in attempting to tie up the animal, was so severely bruised against the side of the manger, that it was with great difficulty he managed to get back to the house. He was at once assisted into bed, and a doctor sent for, but all that medical skill, or kind friends could do, was unavailing, and in the short space of thirty-six hours from the time of the acci- dent, the unfortunate man breathed his last. The deceased was a man of more than ordinary intelligence and possessed many amiable qualities. Entirely free from selfishness, his generous nature delighted todo a kind act, or render a friendly service, and though a poor man, so far as the perishable things of time are concerned, that circumstance alone should not have

revented anyone from attending his uneral and paying the last tribute of respect to a fellow-creature, whose ransom- ed soul we trust is now in the glorious mansions of bliss, where poverty,- serrow and death. are unknown, and _happi- ness forever reigns. By this dispensation a large, and we might say helpless family, have been made orphans. It is, therefore, to be hoped, in the name ef humanity, that sympathy and aid if necessary, will not be withheld from the grief-stricken ones, in this their dark hour of affliction

Ski taadl

Tue Little York Circuit Tea and Bazaar last week was a decided success. The day being mild, and the sleighing fairly good, a large number availed themselves of the opportanity of a drive and a cup of tea. A special train in the evening brought a considerable addition to the company. Great preparations had been made not only in the way of provisions, but also for the purpose of accommodating the people. A shed containing 3000 feet of boards, well tar-papered and provided with stoves, had been erected alongside the factory. Part of the Starch Factory had been made into stalls for the horses. A large Committee had been at work several days at the factory, and the inside had been completely transformed. The ‘‘ spread” on the tea tables was a beautiful sight, such as can be seen only in a good farming district. Four fancy tables containing all manner of beautiful and useful articles stretching the full length of the upper part of the factory, were a very pleasing sight. Little York, Union Road, Brackley Point Road and Royalty East, each furnished a table. About $100 were taken at the tables, besides many articles which were disposed of by auction. Little York provided three tables for the tea, Union Road and Brack- ley Point Road, two each. About six o'clock the rooms were full, and after that they were crowded, and there was a perfect jam until 10 o'clock. Some people hope that they may never see nor feel the like of it again. Still there was the utmost good humor prevailing all the time. The album quilt was a great source of attraction and was much admired. The names on it brought in to the bazaar $130. About 700 people had tea, including the waiters. After all expenses are paid, there will be about $450 remaining as the net results of the effort. After the debt is paid there will be over $100 to go to go towards furnishing. The Committee is greatly indebted to Geo. E. Full, Esq., for so generously placing the building at their disposal, and for permitting it to be altered and fitted up for the oeca- sion. Without this, nothing could have been done. The Committee also express thanks to the ladies for presiding at the tea and faney tables, to the men who conveyed the people to the factory and back again to the station, and to all those who helped to make the the affair successful beyond the niost sanguine expectations of the friends. Included in this acknowledgment of grati tude must be the friends in the city, who so largely and generously patronized both tea and bazaar.
