Sunday last was another of those
mild summer-ike days for which this
December has been so remarkable. 1t
was suggestive of picnics and rambllngs
in the fields and woods, rather tnan the
time Of year when the ice king reigns

The reported serious illness of John
T O'Couner, of the Fourth ward. was
fortunately erroneous. MIR. O'Conner was
slightly indisposed from bad cold, and
concluded to exercise the part of pru-
dence by remaining at home and nipping
the thing in the bad. But somehow, a re-
port got circulated that Mr.. O'Conner
was very i'll, which we are happy to say
is not the case.

tory increase in the business of the Ed

Seventh ward. From very small be-
ginDings the mandatory now employs
10 men, with the present space all occu-

are manufactured almost exclusively, and
the goods find market in vide range
of territory.
To day the ladies of St. Ber-

drawing of let, which was generously
donated by an old member of the parish.
some one is bound to get warranty deed

1t is of no little significance that the
Chamber of Commerce of Manchester,
England, recently adopted, by an over
whelming majority, resolution declaring
that all foreign goods similar to those pro-
duced in Great Britain should, when i'm
ported, be subject to tax proper tomato
to the imperial and local taxation they
would have paid bad they been manu-
featured in England. The principle of
this resolution is the same as that held by
| the American protectionists, and it is the
expression of the leading business men of

| son county. When England gives up
| free trade as bad job, it would not seem
to be round policy for the United States
to adopt it.
