Good COFFEE,

Everybody wants it, but very few get 1t,
because most people do not know how to
select coffee, or it is spoiled in the roasting
or making. To cbviate these difficulties
has been our study. Thurber's package
coffees are selected by an expert who un-
derstands the art of blending various fla
vors. They are roasted in the most perfect
manner lit is impossible to roast well in
email quantities., then put in pound paok-
ages I'm he bean, not Gro2tRdD bearing our
signature as a guarantee CS genuineneSS,
and each package contains the Thurber
recipe for making good Coffee. We pack
two kinds, Thurber's "No. 81" strong
and pungcnt; Thurber's "No. A." mild
and rich. One or the other will suit every
taste. They have the three great points,
good quality, honest quantity, reasonable
price. Ask yor Grocer for Ihauber's
roasted C6fee an pound packages, "No. 81"
or ''NO. Al" Do not be put off with any
other kind-your own palate will tell you
what is best.
Where persons desire it, we also furnish
the "Idear Coffee-pot, the simplest, best
and cheapest cofree-pot in existence.
Grocers who sell our Coffee keep them.
Ask for descriptive circular.
Respectfully, &c,

P.S.-As the largest dealers in food pro-
ducts in the world, we consider it our in
terest to manufacture only pure and whole
some goods and pack them in tidy and
satisfactory manner. All goods bearing
our name are guaranteed to be of superior
quality, pure and wholesome, and dealers
are authorized to refund the purchase
price in any case where customers have
cause for dissatisfaction. 1t is therefore
to the interest Of both dealers and con-

Lake Ontario Getting Shallow.

The harbor of Toronto is threatened
by q marked fall in the level of Lake
Ontario Observations taken during
long period indicates that the waters of
that inland sea are gradually subsid-
ing, and this in spite of the fact
that in the drainage basin of the lower
lakes the rainfall has not materially di
minished Various attempts to explain
the phenomenon have been made, but
the most probable cause is found in the
artificial changes of the outlets of the
lakes, by which the volume of water
escaping has been greatly increased.
The blasting Of rocks in the Gallops
Rapids and the removal of distractions
seem to have operated like the lowering
of dam, and the consequence is that
many Of tho ports are now accessible to
vessels Of ngut draft only.
