New Jersey Premium Wine.

Physicians state that the Port Wine
took the premium at the Centennial,
produced and offered for sale by Mr.
Alfred Speer, of New Jersey, is a wine
that can be safely used for medical
purposes, being pure and free from
medication, and is more reliable than
other Port Wines. 1t is especially
recommended for weakly females and the
aged. The deep color is due to the
iron from the brown stone shale rock
on which the grapes grow, which is
rich in iron. For Sale by,

Shocking Affair AT Halifax.

HALIFAX, Nov. THE fire which
broke out in the poor asylum at mid
night last night resulted in great loss
of lfe The inmates were safely re-
moved from all parts of the building
except the upper story which was
used as hospital, and in which there
were about seventy patients, most of
them perfectly helpless. The ladders
raised to the windows were found to
be too short, and the fires burned so
fiercely that all efforts to save the un-
fortunate patients were fruitless.
Many were unable to leave their beds,
and were no doubt stihed by the smoke
before the flames reached them
Others were seen to dash themselves
against the windows and cling to the
sash until their hands were burned off
and they fell back into the flames. A
woman held her head out of the win
dow to breathe the cool air, and re-
mained in that position until her head
was burned off, 1t is known that
there were about seventy patients in
the hospital, and SO far as could be as
certained only half q dozen were car
ried out before the fire cut off further
approach to the place.

The "Week of Prayer" at the be-
ginning of each year, although not OBJ
served as extensively as formerly, Is
still in great favor among many of the
churches and religious associations.
The Evangelical Alliance by its repre-
sentatiyes throughout the world has
already issued the invitation and pro-
gramme for the week of prayer, COM
mencing January 7, 1888. The sug-
gested topics for the several days cover
a wide range of subjects, including
thanksgiving, prayer for the church
universal, for families, for the nation
and for missions. Special reference is
also made to education, to intemper.
ance and the opium traffic.

Ewing pleaded guilty, when the Judge
sentenced him to four years to the pen

too severe and withdrew his plea pre-
ferring that his case should go before
the jury. The case was again called
and Ewing's counsel made such a
strong defence that after remaining out
several hours the jury returned verdict
of not guilty.

Butter E.,siiy Spoiled.

A farmers wife writes: OF all the
products OF the farm butter is the most
liable to DO tainted by noIious odors
floating in the atmos phere. Our people
laid some veal in the cellar, from which
little blood flowed out, and was neg
lected until it had commenced to smell.
The result was that o jar Of butter We
we're packing smelled aud tasted like
spoiled beef. We know OF an instance
where there was pond Of filthy, stag
nsnt water few hundred feet from the
house, from which an offensive etiluviuw
would be borne on the breeze directly
to the milk.room when the wind was in
q certain direction, the result OF which
was that the cream and butter would
taste like the disagreeable odor coming
from the pond. As soon as the pond
was drained there was no more damaged
butter. 1t is remarkable how easily
butter is spoiled.

cial yaluea publication could not be sus-

unjust not to take this fact into account.
Newspaper makers, like other manufac-

market demand.
But the newspaper is also public
agent. 1t offers to the public, for pay

of public meetings, courts, elections and
sales. On this work, as an advertising

A farm can be stocked with sheep
cheaper than with any other animals.
Sheep will come nearer to utilizing
every thing which grows on the farm.
