ing 1t with your uncle, have been to

man, l love your sister; using 1t as a
fan, come and see my aunt; carrying a

| 1t has been n long time since the announce.
ment OF business failure in Ottawa has been
received with so much regret as that of C. L.
Stamate e. Co, which was made public on Thurs
day morning. In consequence of the unfavora.
bic season, poor sales made by some OF the trav.
cling men and the suspension Of company out
west employing large number Of Stamate &
Co.'s customers, the firm found themselves in
an embarrassing position, and on Wednesday CIV.
ening their attorney, j. W. Duncan, summoned
W. W. Taylor to his office and informed him
that he (Taylor) had been selected as assignee.
An investigation into the affair revealed liabii.
ties to the amount Of $4,000 and assets in the
sum OF about SIS, 900. OF the latter about g. 500
is stock in hand; the balance is book and other
accounts. The Indebtedness of the firm is held
largely by New York and Philadelphia parties,
the heaviest creditors being j. r. Keim Il Co.,
Philadelphia, and Morris, Leonard, Piquett Il
Co., s. Stein & Co., and Sumner, Reed, Will
liams Il Co., New York. Mr. Taylor has placed
Frank Black, one of the clerks in charge with
instructions to dispose OF the stock to the best
possible advantage. Every one who knows the
firm is hoping that satisfactory arrangements
may be made to place the gentlemen on their
feet again at an early day.

In Ottawa there are several students Of astron.

society organized and maintained for the promo

new court house affords such an excellent view
OF every part of the visible heavens. it has been
suggested that q telescope connected with the
building would be thing quite desirable. II
not telescope of sufficient power to aid in the
study of the heavens, then one Of a smaller de.

wish TO take in the extensive view of the city and
