 About 100 boys and girls received their first communion at St Patrfck,s church this morning at the 9 o'clock mass. The sacrament was adnlinis- tered to the children by the Rev Fath- CT Gleeson, who also celebrated the mass The children presented a prct " appearance, the girls being attired n White dresses and the boys i'll black suits. After tho mass benediction Of the Blessed Sacrament was given.
 During the month of December 234 money orders were issued af the sub-postal station at Walkers pllar- macy. This is an unusually large number and is due no doubt to the fact that many persons here remem- bered their relatives in the old coun- try by sending them little cash as Christmas gifts. The amount of money sent through money orders was $1, ,53S.59.
 The advent of cold weather has caused much sickness and the doctors are rushed with calls. Sick people will do well to remember whenever they want prescription to be filled. to send 1t to A. c. Walkers pharmacy, where the prescription materials are the best that money can buy. Every thing is fresh and pure. There is no substitute.

 In your report of the last meeting of the board of public works the city en. gineer is reported as stating that the item of S6O for back filling on the M''l street retaining wall, submitted by Thompson Bros, is 8 claim for work that never was done.
