tic medicine that can be employed: cleans
ing the stomach and bowels. and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill day,
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter Of a century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are SO composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infamed.
They reach the vital fountains Of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills MAJ
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves Them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to cake; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

More About MIR. Thomas Bakers Bill.
tice, in last weeks Democrat, comes to the
rescue of Thomas Baxter, whom he says hai
suffered great Injustice by the refusal Of the
Board of Street Commissioners to audit his
bill for the full mount claimed to be due
on HustIsford Street Bridge. Justice
fails however, to convince US that any
wrong has been inflicted He does not at
tempt to explain the merits OF the claim
He fails to inform an anxious public how it
is that bill which it was at first family
rumored on the streets was to be presented
for 500, grew to be S697, when next heard
from, aud was finally raised to the startling
figure OF nearly Sl400, where it now stands
and which the city is nodestiy called upon
to pay. Some information upon this point
would be very timely. indeed, and clear up
the Mysteries which now abound as to why
there should be bill! of Sl4Oo, for extras
on a bridge contracted in the first place to
be built for $1,000 Is it no. true, Mr..
"Jastlce' thai the amolnt claimed for ex-
tras is entirely disproportioueG to the orig
inal contemplated cost, and that the extras
consist entirely in the additions to the
width and length Of the walls, which were
made chiefly to benefit Messrs Habheger
and others? Whatever "JuSuce': may say
upon the subject, the public is of this i'm
preston, and accordingly looks with sus
picion upon this bill with such fragrant
smell. We want Mr.. Baxter 20 receive pay
for all. he is entitled to. But the city should
be careful to pay him no more. If his bill
has been the subject of unfavorable com
ment, he alone is responsible for it.
Whether true or false, the impression pre-
due. People think they see evidences Of
ring for managing city contracts, in which
he is the central figure, and certain men,
bers of the Board of Street commissioners
are prominent parts. The active support
given 10y Mr.. Baxter to the League ticket
last fall, and particularly his earnest work
for Mr.. Finn, are supposed 20 have been
rendered with view TO the Precipitation of
the League element in the Board-w hch,
it is we'll known Mr.. Baxter has strenuously
opposed heretofore. This fact may or may
not be significant, but it is undenable that
it has had its effect, and together with the
varying amounts which at one time aud an
other Mr.. Baxter has claimed, has had much
to do with prejudicins peope against his
bill.

tn" Christians exercise, Of the

Tuesday evening were e an order
highly complimentary to the schooI
1t consisted principally Of an entirely
new entertainment known rs "'Ghe
Sacred places of the Bible Tho
name. Of the different places We're
wrought in evergreen and suspended
at different points in the church. -
These were hidden from view ard each
in its turn unvellc ! as it became the
subject Of the exercises. The Star Of
Bethlehem rising in the east Was ore
of the really charming features of the
evening. Ia an arch surmounting the
pul pit was cross in the upright end
arms Of which the words Love, JOY,
Calvary were displayed, a very sue
ce5sfnl and beautiful transparency -
The arch upho|ding this cross, and
another arch in the recess OF the pull
pit were lined with row Of lighted
wax tapcrs. The evergreen lecora-
tons, although not extravaganza were
tasteful. Addresses We're made by
Rev. CIewell and Supt. Creeger, after
which Santa Claus appeared with a
treat tor the little ones This latter
IS an innovation in the matter Of Sab
bath school Christmas entertainments
yet it took its place In the exercise ,
naturally and as one Of the most fit
ting. To say that it pleased the little
ones would be but to half express it.
The usual form adhered to bv this
church Of representing the birth Of
Christ as the "Iight Of the World, v
or the Light Of the Gospel by dis
tIibutlng wax tapers, was observed in
these exercises. Truly there is y touch
of grandeur in this simple form. The
singing under the leadership of c. a.
Wil,hide was, as usual well rendered
We believe the exercises to have
been an improvement or last year if
such thing were possible, and this
school has certainly succeeded in es-
tablishing for itself a reputation sec
ond to none in the matter of charm
ing Christmas exercises.
