the cheapest, many prefer to buy it because
provisions are held at too high price.

happy for one night III the year. There is Il
widow lady with several small children in

a blessing to her and children to have gotten

that Christ did indeed come into the world
to do good, to feed the hungry, AMI ulothe
the naked.

The New Years Eve Ball. given by the Pr
lot Knob Cornet Band and Orchestra, ut the
Academy of Music was largely attended, and
was success in every particular. About
fifty couples were there to respond to the
announcements of the caller, and the cry,
partners for Quadrlle. ~ was quickly fol-
lowed by the formation of half-dozen sets.
The music started up, and from P. NJ, UNI
til \. ~, the dance went merriIy ON. Every
thing was done in order, and the best of
feeling prevailed. No better conduct has
prevailed at any party ever given in the
hall. About II O'Clock, it became evident to
the writer that something was up" and he
was considerably puzzled. AT that hour
dancing ceased, the other members of the
orchestra quietly disappeared from their pc.
sition inside the railing, and we were left
alone, excepting that Il friend or two came
around and seemed singularly anxious to en-
gage i'm discussion on the state of the
weather.
