Christmas.


The 25lh was the most beautiful Christ
mas day we ever beheld. Exceedingly
mild, with clear sky overhead, line sleigh
ing under foot and warm, laughing sun
shine all around, it was day to be en-
joyed to the fullest by those possessed
of horses and cutters, hand sleds or
skates with an opportunity TO use them
And let us hope that no one however
humble or pinched by poverty passed
the day without taste of that glorious
merry Christmas"

copal sabbath school had Christmas
tree Mt their church. At an early hour

four hundred presents being distributed.
On the same evening, the teachers
Of our city schools presented their prin-
cipaI, Supt. R, L. REED, very fine copy
Of Webstcr's Unabridged Dictionary, as
testimonial of their respect for him.
-PETER SIMoN's dance took place
as advertised at Fox & Dickinson's Hall.
Though not a very large crowd was out,

JOY the party without stint. a

"Now, wo can 60 into 9airyiag

are losing from two to three thousand
dollars a year by keeping cows yielding
two hundred pounds of butter per year,
instead of those that would yield from
FIVE TO six hundred pounds in tho same
time. How many dairymen can tell
the relative value OF each cow of his herd
by actual test! There is little instru-
ment for this purpose that don't cost
much, but very few dairymen know any
thing about it. 1t is called "Lactome

glass tubes of equal length and diameter
in a wooden frame. The milk from
each COW is placed in some of these glass
tubes; there they stand side by side, and

The acknowledged stringency in near

with our working men. Many skilled
mechanics, we are informed, are work

and if any one will take trouble to re-
main a short time near the new Mint
