ANOTHER change in business firms of
the city which occurs with the begin
ming of the year is the dissolution of
the firm of Howe & Benedict by the
withdrawal of the senior member of the
firm, his interest having been purchas-
cd by the remaining member, Mr.. E. j..
Benedict who will continue business
under his own name. Mr.. Benedict
has been an important factor in build
ing up the present fine trade enjoyed
by the firm, and under his manage
ment, it may be expected to thrive and
flourish fully rs vigorously in the future
as in the past. Mr.. John Howe, the
retiring member, continues with Keith
Bros. OF Chicago at an increased salary,
which increase is a striking proof of how
satisfactory must have been "John's''
engagement with them the last year.
There is no better salesman included in
the ranks of the army of commercial
Travellers than John, and his good for
tune viii be viewed with pleasure by
his many friends here.

to convince the gazer that times were
booming or the work turned out by this
establishment was in great demand.

with it. Certainly It has been '.all
hands round until q late hour at night
the past weeks in order to keep up
with the work. Modest in outward
garb but busy rs a beehive inside this
establishment has by years Of first-class
work proved lis right % the position it
now occupies as one of the most impor-
tant manufactures of the kind in the
county. Mr.. Belz Keeps six men steadily
employed in manufacturing All kinds of
road vehicles from the heavy lumber
wagon which IS to market the agri-
cultural riches of the county down to
the light aud graceful earriageTor dainty
cutter which latter is now in so much
demand. The work turned out speaks
for itself and that ii is in such demand
shows that it is tirst-clasS in every res
pect. Commencing some years ago
with one small shop Mr.. Belz nowthas
an establishment of which he may be
proud. There isno need Of purchasers
going abroad when work such as is
turned out here is done right at home.

formation, and awakening greater in

fullest intelligence concerning the Lam
caster Public Schools; yet we expect to
publish much concerning other schools,
and to treat of topics of general applica-
ton. In other words, the column viii
be addressed 10 two classes, viz: those
who are interested in universal educa-
ton. and those who ought 10 be so inter
ested. All others are advised not to

The boards of education of New York
and Chicago have decided to exile the
grammatical textbook from the public
schools of those cities and require all in
structions in grammar to be given
orally.-Er.
We prophesy that a textbook will be
used again before many years. Educa-
tional reform is becoming excessive
and extravagant. We believe in practi-
cal (and also oraD instruction; but it is
hard to see how the arerage teacher can
impart information in grammar in a
more practical or digestible form than
some of the excellent books that are
now published. Oral teaching should
supplement, not supersede.

IT isn't everybody that can afford q
fine, imported, English bull dog. Bax-
ter the druggist is one of the exceptions.
What enhances the value of his pet is
the fact that he is so constructed that
he will stay where he is put, while his
effect as q t~erritier is not diminished.
The first day he was placed in stock,
that representative of the canine species
who considered the store his exclusive
property caught sight of the intruder,
as he entered the door. Up went ears
and tail and with a smothered growl he
made q bound for the new conner. But
a mouthful of cold cast iron ear is not
an celebrating article of diet, and a
half minute later a sheepish looking dog
with his tail between his legs was hunt
ing for q soft plank where he could lie
down out of sight. 1t has become as
good as a Josh Billings show to watch
the procession of small boys and ever
those of Il larger growth who waltz
boldlyin the door and then catchingsight
of that ferocious canine face hasten to
put rs much clear territory between
them as possible, in the shortest time.
1t was fun for Baxter but rather hard
on the boys.
