MEssRs. FoRBUsH & NEWTON, skillfu
dentists in this village, have been for SOM
time using aluminium for plates in making
sets of teeth. The objections to rubber ol
undesirability of silver and the expense o
gold, rubber and celluloid have been quit,
generally used. Aluminium presents a sub
stance that has nearly all the desirabl,
qualities of gold 1t is light, durable and
, perfect conductor, like gold. 1t does no
corrode, is entirely tasteless, and the costsi
less than half that of gold. Many sets hav,
been made of this material and they Civ,
entire satisfaction. 1t will be to the advan
tage of the toothless to call on Forbush &
Newton and investigate.

THE expense incurred by the Clefs " t,
ensure the success of their entertainments
last week, was very great, and the receipt
, were not sufficient to defray the same.
is therefore announced that the company
| will present the opera at Capital Hall agar
: this evening for the purpose of meeting i
possible, the deficiency. There seems TO b
: a very general impression that the musica
, director was the person who received tn
. principal pecuniary benefit. While we ar
not at liberty to state the exact amount o

opinion is erroneous. Mr.. Engels stated bi
terms several months ago, and they wer
considered very generous by the entire clul
