THE large three-light chandelier
in Cartwright'S jewellery fell on
Monday evening, and broke all the
lamps. The lamps were extin-
guished before it struck the floor
aud the oil did not ignite. The
cause of the accident was the break
lug of the hook in the ceiling.-Sun
THE Scientific Am erican, publish
ed by Mum q Co., New York, pre-
sents weekly to its readers the best
and most reliable record of the va
rious improvements in machinery,
while the scientific progress of the
country can in no way be CLEANED so
well as by the regular perusal of its
pages.
ATTENTION is invited to the
notices of Demorest'S Monthly and
Go6ey's Lady'S Booh found else
where in this paper These are
both meritorious magazines for
ladies. Every household should
have one.
VINO told Charlie Hendra that
fresh oysters and the TRIBUNE
always enjoyed coming together?
At any rate whether told or not, he
has done the "handsome thing" of
presenting us with a can of the
choicest bivalves in the market
with crackers, ETC., TO match.
Charlie, we thank you, an trust you
will enjoy booming trade in the
oyster line.
The generosity of our city fathers
startles many citizens, who are loud
with opinions. The query is, what
will justify them in paying the ex-
penses ($l35) occasioned by the
runaway accident which befel a
driver during trotting race at the
fair in this city last fall? Like
many others, we fail to see wherein
i. is the city's duty.
ANOTHER music box will be given
away to the customers of j. J..
Hanscom u Co. during the holidays.
As before every purchase to the
amount of dollars worth will be
entitled to a ticket or chance for the
prize. The music box is by all
odds the finest ever seen hereabouts,
and whoever may be the lucky
ticket holder he will secure a grand
prize.
THIS paper has already urged on
two or three occasions the necessity
of every citizen who possibly can to
aid in some way to make the Farm
ers' Institute, to be held in this city
on the 10th and 7 inst. a pronounc-
ed success. How satisfactory it
would be to hear it said, after the
event is thing Of the past, that it
was one of the most entertaining
and beneficial Institutes ever held
in the state.
DECEMBER is with us and the
calendar and weather for this month
are always interesting. 1t is the
winter month as well as the holy
month, the season of Christmastide
festivity, the month of the shortest
day and the longest night, the
change of the year, and marking
the time which the old chroniclers
so dotted on as that "when the days
begin to lengthen the cold begins
to strengthen"
