editor with half-dozen quail-as fine

in having a good trimmer, and then
our prices are at the very lowest notch.

sons of Italy, with hand organ and a
monkey were on the streets last Thurs
day trying to harvest the stray dimes
and nickles. 1t was cold, blustry
day ana the monkey and the dagoes
shivered, and doubtless sighed for the
blue skies and balmy cline of fair
Italy.

The entertainment at the Academy |
OF Music last Thursday evening for the |
benefit of the Boys Brigade drew a |
crowded house. The programme was
a most excellent one, and the rendition |
all that could be desired. The consen-
sus of opinion seems to be that the en-
tertainment was by far the best that
home talent has furnished in recent
years. Mr.. Mayor, who had the affair
in charge, and his co-laborers are to
be congratulated on the success attend
Jug their efforts.
