LENNOXVILLE ACADEMY.The concert given by the pupils of Lennoxville Academy last evening was most successful, the assembly hall being packed to its utmost capacity, and every number on the programme worthy of the hearty applause given it.The programme opened with a chorus, \u201cThe Empire Flag,\u201d by the school choir, who also sang during the evening \u2018\u2018The Minstrel Boy,\u201d \"Killarney,\u201d \u201cO Hush Thee My Baby,\u201d and a French song, \"Mes Enfants,\u201d all of which showed excellent training.Choruses by the Senior Girls, Intermediate and Junior Grades, were enjoyable numbers, the fresh young voices being in perfect time and tune.The piano solos by Messrs.Bayne and Nuthrown, \u201cThe Witch's Dance\u201d (Paganini) and \u201cWaltz in C Minor\" (Chopin)

particularly appealing to the pupils, and reminding the older ones of their school days.Mr.Harry Burt sang \u201cSkipper of St.Ives\u201d (Roeckel) and \u201cThe Red Scarf\u201d (Bonheur) in excellent voice, showing talent and great promise for the future.The unveiling of the Honor Roll was perhaps the \u201cstar\" number, as the hearts of everyone beat quicker when their eyes rested on the long list of names of \u201cthe boys who have gone to the war.\u201d Mr.W.H.Abbott ing any injuries.His explanation is that he was dreaming that two men were chasing him with a big knife, and he opened the

in other words, that the sequence would be Sherbrooke, Quebec and Ottawa.\t.\"It was further pointed out in Sherbrooke's behalf that any arrangement that should be made should be more or less of a permanent character.The Minister pressed this e'eri-ously on Quebec\u2019s representative, but the latter was not prepared to give a final answer on that point.The matter stands in that position for the present.\u201cIn due course the question ¦will be brought before the Board of Directors of the E.T.A.A.for their decision.In making a change of dates, many things have to be taken into consideration.\u201d You often hear people speak about the But perhaps you never stopped to think very much about how we got it, or how we keep it, to say nothing of how we continue to increase it.Try Rosenbloom\u2019s this time, Madam, You\u2019ll find us just as interested in your gift problems as you are and able\u2014we hope\u20141 to make helpful suggestions.An inquest was held in the evening and after hearing the evidence the jury returned a verdict of accidental death.There is some talk of an arrest being made, but nothing definite has been learned on this point.Guimond.who did the shooting, is only about | ^\t.\t*,0 cri 17 years of age, and it was the first, Dressing LiOWns.q>7.OU to tplo.Ol» time he had been out with a new ;, .\t^\ta.\taa rifle, recently purchased.\tHouse V-Oats.Jp'î.OvJ to «po.L J LEAVES LARGE FAMILY.The shooting has causey quite a lot of excitement in this place.The deceased man leaves a widow and ten children, the oldest being a boy 14 years of age.- Gift Suggestions ?FALL OF AUSTRIAN GOVERNMENT ENDORSE SALE OF DANISH WEST INDIES 11 Vote on Transfer to the United States Was Largely in Favor of Treaty.KAISER PAYS VISIT FRENCH WAR COUNCIL TO BAVARIAN KING WILL MEET TODAY Bath Robes.$6.00 to $7.50 MUFFLERS.Knitted Silk Mufflers $2 to $3.50 Other lines.9Gc.\tto\t$1.50 Angora Mercerized wool $4 each.Bandana pattern silk squares.Special value.$1.25, $1.50 NECKWEAR.(Canadian Pré»» Despatch.)\tMany of our ties are imported Berlin, via London, Dec.15.\u2014The T\tJ t.kf,rpffV.P Pxrlusive at Tageblatt in discussing the change in US ana tnerero\u2018e exclusive at the Austrian Government comes to this Store, the conclusion that the fall of the ministry of Dr.von Koerber was due i to a disagreement over the Ausgleich (an agreement between Austria and Hungary signed in 1907 concerning hi Due to a Disagreement Over Commercial and Customs Relations Wth Hungary.56 Rich lustrous heavyweight silk ties at $1.00, $1.50 and $2.00.Other made ties, 35c., 50c., 75© HANDKERCHIEFS.Pure Irish Linen, special value, neatly boxed.6 for $1.20 Pure Silk Khaki at 50c.and 75c.Mercerized Khaki .3 for 50c, Hemstitched cotton khaki, 2 for 25c.White Lawn.3 for 25c, W hite Lawn.2 for 25» ) Everything neatly boxed.Held Council at Which Peace President Signs Decrees Ap-and Military Matters Were pointing Under-Secretaries Discussed.\tof estate.(Canadian Pres* Despatch.)\t(Canadian Press Despatch.)
