NoTICE.--ln order to begin anew with
the new year, we have allowed our adver-
tiaing and other bills. which were due Nov.
10Th, to remain uncollected until now.
Bills will be collected to date. 6nbscrip
tons. of courae, are not included.
A gentleman whe has Just returned from
tho East, informs us that the weather there
is mild, and mud, slush and dampness rem
der it most disagreeable, We are not SO
bad off as we thought we were. A little
ice and frost are preferable to mud and rain. /
Callers at the TRIBUNE Office always grin
when they read the motto" Faith, Hope
and Charity" prominently displayed over
our three front windows. Wen, we fail
to see anything to laugh at, for an editor
requires all three, especially when looking
over his delinquent list.
News was received yesterday, of the safe
arrival of Mrs. Tewksbury and her friends,
at their home in Vermont. The party
we're delayed one day at Montreal. Mrs.
Tewksbury had partly recovered from her
nervous prostration, her physical condition
being materially improved.
Coop TIME.-The through express trains
on this line are making good time, and
during the past week. now that the engines

the company to keep the mail and passen-
ger trains on time, is appreciated by the
citizens along the line.

WHAT Show. -Sam. Guilder, the world
renowned . comedian, gave performance
last Monday evening, at Goods Hall. The
entertainment was fizEle, and but for q
farce in one act, not down on the bills, the
show was devoid of any interest whatever.
A fuss between two of the spectators
, caused little excitement, but was quashed
by writ of ejectment, served without any
papers. Benzine was the root of the evil
CHILDRENs CHRISTMAS PIcNIc.-Thers
is always something new under the sun
and the idea of picnic at this season o.
: the year, is, to say the least, decidedly novel
; but as it is to be held in the Congregations
(, church, this afternoon. it is probable {
pleasant time will be had by the little ones
: Nuts, candies, fruits, &C., will be distrib

hearts will be happy, even if their hand
I'd faces are sticky.
