Holden Bros. meat market is thing
Of beauty this week One night the
| shop looked much as usual, the next
morning, 10! it had blossomed out,
changing its every day appearance
greatly. Big fat turkeys, chickens,
ducks and geese were hung around
| festooned with the delicate Florida
moss and holly berries, with their
bright glossy green leaves. One cor
ner was filled with sansages making Il
nice show. Pork and beef were drap-
| ed and trimmed, the sides of each be-
| ing cut in artistic figures. An inn
mense beef weighing 600 pounds and
calf five months old weighing 400
pounds attracted Il good deal of atten-
tion. Everywhere were festoons of the
! moss and holly making in all Il very
pretty picture. Messrs Holden have
-pared no pains this year and every
body is delighted with the results.
An old friend in new dress, and an
article that has come to be one of the
| ndispcnsables of an EDITORS desk,
comes to hand in the Columbia Daily
Calender Cor 1892. The Calender is in
the form of pad containing 367 leaves,
| each 10 5-S inches; one for each
day of the year, TO be removed daily,
and one for the entire year. The day
of the week, of the month, and the
year are given, and each slip bears a
short paragraph pertaining to cycling
or some kindred subject. At the bot
tom of each leaf is blank for memoir
anda, every leaf being acce ssableat any
| time. The stand Is an entirely new
| departure, being made of sheet metal
finished in ivory black, and is very
compact. At the close of the year the
stand will be available for another
pad. This is the seventh issue of this
now well-known Calendar, yet all the
matter is SSesh and new, having been
carefully collected from leading publ
cations and prominent writer's, most of
it being specially written for this Dur-
pose. 1t comprises notable events in
cycling, opinions of physicians and
clergymen, hints about road making,
and numerous othertopics.
Everybody knows that the excava-
| ton for the approaches to the st. Clair
| tunnel are very extensive holes, but
few people have any idea how large
they really are. In the approaches, on
both sides, over twenty-five acres of
land had to be excavated. The area of
the cut for the Sarnia approach is four
| teen acres; for the Port Huron APP
proach, eleven acres and half. The
| tunnel works like a charm. Two tun-
mel engines are kept with steam up,
one of these takes train through from
the station on this side and then brings
train back, then the other engine
takes a train through and brings one
back, and they continue to alternate in
this way. They handle II train of "a
loaded cars easily. Each tunnel train
! has It's own conductor, engineer and
! trainmen, whose duty it is to take the
train through from this side and bring
one hack, the regular conductors, en-
gineers and brakemen going ON at the
stations on each side. 1t took the first
regular passenger train that went
through the tunnel just one minute
and S seconds to go from portal to
portal. one day last week train
