a close Saturday night. The fair
was continued during the week, and
it is said to have been a financial
success Many articles of value were
sold at private sale, and much inter-

the lucky numbers as the drawing
proceeded. 1t has been impossible
for the managers to even approximate
the amount realized. as it will take
some time yet to get in all the re-
turns. However, the fair has not
been disappointment to the ladies OF
the church, who are sanguine in be-
lieving the results will exceed their
expectations.

CAN Office desires to return his pro-
found thanks for the present Of a
beautiful and absolutely necessary

rical in form and exquisite in finish,
and would bring JOY to the heart OF
the oldest veteran of the craft Or
binary mortals would hardly think il
worth their while to pick it up from
the street, but it bears a very import
ant part in the work of education and
the dissemination of news to the civ
ilized world. In the olden time it
was recognized as mark of distinc-
ton, and was used as a passport to the
best society. 1t is only small, thin
piece of beautifully polished steel, the
exact width of q newspaper column,
with a tiny little ear on either end
for the especial accommodation of the
compositor. Thanks, friend DEL
schlaeger; may your shadow never
grow less.
