Christmas Amusements.

writer says: II would suggest to forego,
this year, the Christmas tree and have a
"Christmas bag" instead. The money saved
will help to buy gifts for the little ones, who
might have no other gift but your'sto bright
en- their hearts this year.
"Get large grain bag, or two bags if nee
essary. Place them in a convenient place.
Then, as the presents are purchased, or made,
the donor must wrap up each article separ-
ately, and label it so "Old Santa" can readi-
ly see for whom the present is intended when
he opens the bag. Santa can add much to
the enjoyment by wearing a coat wrong side
out and tying bright scarf about his head,
using cotton for whiskers and hair. Then,
with few comic gestures, he can, without
much effort, keep the children amused. Let
the family go into the sitting room before
"Santa" comes in with his heavy burden;
then as the gifts are taken from the bag, al
low each one time to examine their present
before another in taken out, thus prolonging
the pleasure. What surprise Christmas bag
contains! No one is wise beforehand" as
is usual with Christmas tree managers. 1t is
surprising, too, to see how much bag can
hold"

Opening of the Rink Opera House.

The Graham Earle Comedy Company open.
ed the new Rink Opera House on Monday
evening to full house, in the celebrated
play of the "Danites." The company was
well received. and from their gentlemanly
behavior and good acting have won the re-
spect of our citizens, thus insuring a large
attendance during their stay in Napoleon,
which will be the entire week. On Tuesday
evening "Forget- Me-Not" was rendered and
last evening the laughable comedy of "Joshua
Whitcomb" was given to an overaowing
house. The opera house is well lighted and
seated, and withal a comfortable place of
amusement. The scenery and settings of
the stage, together with the large amount OF
scenery carried by Mr.. Earle, makes that de-
partment elegant and complete. The pro-
prietors can be congratulated upon the auspi-
cious opening of their house, and our citizens
can as well be congratulated upon possessing
a place of amusement such as the Rink
Opera House gives them.
Everybody speaks well of the orchestra,
which is composed wholly of Napoleon talent,
under the leadership of Mr.. Charles jackson.
Their selections are excellent and rendered
in fine style.
The newspaper fraternity are especially un-
der obligations to Mr.. Earle, who has so
assiduously looked after their interests. Mr..
Earle, being an old newspaper man himself,
fully understands the wants of the fraternity.
We find him an agreeable gentleman.

LARD.

There are some articles OF
domestic economy IN which we
, are all interested alike, and some
concern a few only. For in
stance, we all use in our fam
lilies, sugar. salt, flour, wood,
coal oil, etc., some eat celery,
some not, some use coffee and
others won't touch it, but if
there is one thing which we use
Winter and Summer alike, in

Lard; and yet there is nothing
we use that most people are so
careless in buying. "It looks
white that makes it all right,
but look your honest grocer in
the eye and ask him, sis this

answer without a quaver of
voice. "yes," and you can be-
lieve him, you are pretty sure
of getting a good article, but if
he says mo, but it is just as
good" don't believe him. This
steam rendered, refined, gummy
stuff which some of our gro
ceries are selling isn't fit to
grease wagons. If any dealer
will keep this kind of cheap
lard, let him also keep some of
the best and give his customers
a choice. Indeed he would
clear his conscience by keeping
the three grades (that are for

An Important Offer.

Having recently established myself in To-
ledo, and knowing well my ability to cure
chronic diseases of all kinds that are durable,
/ propose to make the following proposition
to readers of this paper, in order to make 1t
to their advantage to visit my Office: Any per-
son that is afflicted with disease who lives
within radius of fifty miles of Toledo, who
wishes to visit me for treatment and can
come on the railroad, will have his fare paid
by me both ways. This is good only to JAN
uary 1st, 1887. Those who don't wish to be
treated will have nothing to pay for consul
tation, but will have to pay their own fare.
My charges vary of course, according to the
requirements of the case, but in no case will
they exceed that of their skilled physicians,
but will be less if any thing. DR.. james

supper and bedtime. Provide books and
