A DEAL IN PoRK.-Our friend f G. Nor.
rlson. on Carroll street, always keeps hls
weather eye open for a good business deal
and when our popular butcher, George Late,
happening near Mr.. Morrison's pen of hogs,
asked him his price tor three, be eaid Twelve
dollars" George believed that he had stluci
n good thing and at once bought and paid
over the money About the time George got
the hogs home, Ed seemed to "Iue bargain"
and offered fifty cents to get them back, but
that couldn't get them.
Now it turned out that these hogs, accord
ing to Mr. Morrison. had been living on
chickens; if chicken flew into, or even un
on the top rail of the pen, that chicken
promptly entered upon process that turned
it into pork. The hogs got 80 bad after
chickens that Ed. says one of them seeing
crow fly over Georges property jumped for
it and landed outside the pen. But they
thrived and thrived wonderfully as George
tells us that after having fed them 81 so
worth of corn he killed and sold them for
$23 80, or net profit Of 81, and as Ed. paid
IS 25 gross for hogs to replace them. he is
somewhat doubtful about having been on the
right side Of the market in his first deal.

the play is laid near Athlone Ireland and the
plot involves the fortune of two brothers, it

matte episodes and situations, the comedy
element is delightful.
Mr.. Olcott has surrounded himself with

five new songe of his own composition

Sabllasville, Jan. |. 1900
For The CATocTIN CLARION.
Quite an exciting
sensation struck this community Dec. 3rd
by closing the doors Of the Reformed Church
against and in the face OF the Sunday School
Just about the time when the school was
about to commence work for their Christmas
entertainment and it remains absolutely
closed since. Hence the pastor, Rev. DR..
c. COrt don't preach In the church but he
breaches for the other two congregations at
st. Jacobs and Highfield The church has
always been open to any church work and
especially to Sunday School, upon which
churches are built, ever since it was built in
1855 till at this time For number of
years past the school was increasing and had
quite large attendance and was open every
Sabbath In the year, I just think it wrong
to close the church at this season of the year
especially without cause when the little ones
are anxious to celebrate the birth of our
Saviour and are deprived OF celebrating this
most important IN their mother church by
the doors being absolutely closed. Hence
the celebration was held in the U. B. Church.
How long the church will be closed remains
to be seen. The pastor seems to be well
pleased that such is the condition of affairs,
1t would be well that a special meeting Of
| classes be convened to set the matter right.
