TIE good people of one of our

guilty of such eonduct) who talked IN

on that side OF the church, and not loud
enough for the minister TO hear. We
advise these young scamps to make this
the last time that they are guilty OF such
conduct, as they are known, and II the
thing is repeated, they will most likely
be called to answer before his Honor, the
Mayor. The good people of this town
don't expect to tolerate such acts.

CHRIsTMAs.-AnimGt Of Business
The streets are daily becoming more and
more crowded with Christmas shoppers,
and the clear, cool and brisk weather of
yesterday, tempted many promenaders
from their homes to purchase presents,
and overwhelmed the shop keepers and
their assistants. In many kinds of bust
ness the work of the season has taxed The
utmost endurance. This is particularly
the case in the large shops where there
have been multitudinous attractions and
multitudes of purchasers, and in the
retail houses, where the streams OF toy
purchasers have been continuous since
Monday and where horses and express
men have been under the spur OF busl-
ness night and day to meet the require
ments OF the season. Some OF the toy
shops that are despolled one
dav by purchases, reappear the next with
stock replenish0d, presenting the same
bewilderinC and never to be exhausted
variety. One of the striking features IN
many of the holiday goods houses has
been the crowds still in them at night Tor
several hours after gas light With all
the complaint, and the actual scarcity Of
money, want OF work, reduced wages
and other Inconvenience, it Is at least u
satisfaction to know that the Christmas
cheer of the season will not be wanting
to so many, as well as inspiring the hope
that the rest may, through the blessed
ness of charity, not be left out in the
cod.
