Boston, Mass, will give an entertainment at

next. This company comes very highly rec
commended, and our people may expect a
rare musical treat.
We have heard numerous complaints OF
petty thievery at the rink. Some one will
get caught at their miserable sneak stealing
yet, and when they do they will be made to
suffer for it. A system OF checking articles
left in the waiting rooms would prevent such
annoyances to patrons of the rink.
The recent thaw, if it does not continue
too long, will improve the sleiehing and make

and "mealy" that it was almost impossible
to get logs from the woods to their mills.

! Among the expert horsemen who make
things merry we have noticed none more
adept than the Rev. Mr.. Goodman, pastor of
the Baptist church. We are of those who
think knowlege of horsemanship is not
inconsistent with the dignity and character
of minister, and are therefore much pleased
with Mr. Goodman's exhibition Of skilful
driving -Chippe,cd County NeTs.
weomitted TO mention last week-because
we didn't know 1.-THE fact that Miss Martie
Clayton, one of Paw Paws most graceful
and intelligent young ladies, at the recent
masquerade, wore a paper dress, made en-
tirely of NoRTHERNERs. 1t is safe to say that
Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed
like her." 1t was novel idea and, should
it become fashionable, would largely increase

During the month of Jan. Just past, th
insufficiency of the heating apparatus sup
plying the high school room of our Uuiol
School has been proven beyond reasonable
doubt. Although the furnace has been crowd
ed to its utmost capacity it has bee foun'
impossible TO secure the proper degree o
heat until late in the forenoon but with al
the disadvantages the janitor has not failed
on the very coldest days, TO raise the ther
mometer TO Ga Q in the forenoon.
In room containing 3S, 400 Gu. #. of al
to be warmed and changed it is found TO re
quire no small effort especially when sucl
room contains ten windows whose frame
have been exposed to the alternate swelling
