[" Sherbrooke Daily Record.Established 1897 SHEEBRJOKE, QUE.MONDAT, DECEMBER 23 1912.ONE CENTl WILL TALK EASTERN TOWNSHIPS IN SCOTLAND Major W.W.Dunsmore, of Bury, appointed as Special E.T.Agent by Dominion Government.Mr MacLeod Goes to Quebec to Get Instructions.Applications for help should be sent in.If the natural advantages of the Eastern Townships are not hrought before the people of England and Scotland, it will not be the fault of the Associated Boards of Trade, nor yet of the Federal and Provincial Governments.This morning Mr.F.R.Cromwell, M.P., informed the Record that Major W.W.Dunsmore, of Bury, would be sent to Scotland in the near future as the special representative of the Eastern Townships in that country.It will be remembered that some time ago a delegation from the Associated Boards of Trade met the Hon.Robert Rogers, then Minister of the Interior, and asked him to appoint a special agent for the Townships, and to have advertising matter relative to this section prepared.Mr.Cromwell, who was present at the interview, has since taken considerable interest in the proposal, with the result that the Federal Government has appointed Major Dunsmore.The appointment of Major Dunsmore greatly strengthens the position of the Townships in the campaign for desirable settlers from the Old Land.With Major A.L.Pomeroy, Mr.D.H.Macleod and Major Dunsmore, good results should follow.MR.MACLEOD SUMMONED TO QUEBECh Mr.Macleod, who was only recently appointed by the Provincial Government, left for Quebec this morning, where he will meet the Minister of Colonization, Hon.C.R.Devlin.He expects to receive his instructions.Mr.Macleod received a telegram on Saturday asking him to report at Quebec to-day.Major Pomeroy will sail on December 27th, not January 7th, as pre- i viously announced.It is quite likely that Mr.Macleod may go at the same time.Major Dunsmore will probably follow very shortly.With Hon.P.Pelletier, a Townships man, as Agent-General for the Province of Quebec in London, and the above-named active workers telling people of the wonderful advantages of the Garden of Quebec, future prospects for the Eastern Townships are very bright.Efforts are being made to secure a representative from the western part of the Townships, and it is possible that the E.T.contingent of agents may be still further strengthened.REPATRIATION PLANS.In addition to the immigration work this coming year, the Provincial Government has been memorialized by the Eastern Townships Associated Boards of Trade to inaugurate a plan looking to repatriation of former Canadians now in the United States.The details in this connection have not been worked out, but there is reason to believe that it will be fruitful of important results.FARMERS AND OTHERS SHOULD APPLY.Farmers and others desiring help in the spring should send in their applications at once.There should be no delay in this connection, as the agents require these applications in their work.Applications should be addressed to Mr.F.Millette, Superintendent of Provincial Labor Bureau, Sherbrooke, or they may he sent direct to any one of the agents mentioned above.The agents will not only exert their efforts to secure fanners and farm help, but domestics, laborers and other help.DAILY NEWS SPECIALS EDOM ALL PARIS OF THE EASTERN REPORT BUSINESS

At Least That is what Might be Taken from Followers Actions LAST SPEECH AT ASHTON-UN-DER-LYNE GAVE HIM THE COUP DE GRACE.London, Dec.23.\u2014A.Bonar Law, wdiose leadership .of the Unionist Party from the outset has been pf questionable success, has given him- ^ self a coup de grace.Speaking at Ashton-undcr-Lyne on Monday on the question of the tariff, he declined to submit food duties to a British refererdum, as Lord Lans- j downe had suggested, on the ground that it would tie the hands of the colonies, and said he purposed to let : the colonies decide whether foodstuffs j be taxed.Apparently Mr.Law no longer possesses a single supporter of any prominence in the ranks of his own party unless F.E.Smith be excepted, and even the latter has not been warm in his backing.Usually after a party leader has made a big speech in the country his next appearance in the House of Commons is the signal for rousing cheers from his partisans.When Mr.Law entered the House on Tuesday his re-1 ception was so cold as to suggest that its temperature was not only frigid, but calculated.One of the leading provincial papers has flatly thrown Mr.Law overboard and plainly intimated that h?is not the man to lead the party, while The Times has politely intimated something not very different.HIS ATTENDANT WAS INSTANTLY KILLED AS HE HELD PARASOL OVER VICEREGAL PARTY.Delhi, India, Dec.23.\u2014(Special) \u2014 Lord Hardinge, Viceroy of India, was wounded and an attendant of his killed by a bomb hurled at the Viceroy from a housetop as he was entering the new capital in state to-day.The bomb-throwers who attempted to kill Lord Hardinge came within a hair's breadth of being successful.The Viceroy was making his entry in state into Delhi as the last of the ceremonies in connection with the transfer of the capital from Calcutta to Delhi.The transfer was made in October last, but Lord Hardinge was not to take formal possession of his new quarters until to-day., A large gathering of troops, officials and Punjab\u2018chiefs were present to welcome the vice-regal party in its splendor.The elephant procession had just left the railway station, passing through Chandai Chown, when the bomb was thrown.It was hurled by a man standing on the housetop and it struck the how-den or basket of the Viceroy\u2019s elephant, in which he and Lady Hardinge were riding, The attendant holding a large parasol over the vice-regal pair was instantly killed as the bomb exploded.Lord Hardinge was wounded in the shoulder, but how seriously could not be determined in the confusion which followed the bomb-throwing.He was hurriedly removed to a hospital.Lady Hardin-, was unhurt, but was much shaken by the explosion.The bomb was a very powerful one.Lord Hardinge, on arrival at the hospital, was at once examined by surgeons.They found that the wound in his shoulder was only a slight one.Lady Hardinge suffered severely, from the shock and it was found necessary to apply soothing remedies.The Viceroy\u2019s parasol bearer had been killed outright and another attendant seriously wounded by the fragments of the bomb.The ceremonies were interrupted for only a short period while the Viceroy and Vicerine were being conveyed to the hospital and residence respectively.BARNSTON MAN DIES SUDDENLY.Coaticook, Dec.23.\u2014(Special)\u2014The many friends of Mr.W.T.Cushing will regret to learn of

weigh one ton, and will be placed outside, but adjoining the tower on a trestle built for the purpose of holding the bell.The hours will be struck automatically by a hammer operated by a mechanical arrangement inside the tower.MELBOURNE SCHOLARS HAD GOOD TIME.Melbourne, Dec.23.\u2014(Special)\u2014 The closing of the Lower, Melbourne Village School on Friday afternoon for the Christmas holidays, will be remembered with a great deal of pleasure for some time to come by both teacher and scholars.To celebrate the event, a very generous sized Christmas tree was brought to the school, and set up by the boys, and Christmas gifts were hung upon it, from teacher to scholars and scholars to teacher.In addition to the exchange of tokens, a very large number of valuable prizes were given by the teacher to the scholars, who had won distinction in their examinations, and a box of candy to each one in the school.The school room was suitable decorated for the occasion, and evidenced the good taste possessed by the young ladies of the school.The programme consisted of Solos, Choruses and Recitations by the scholars, at the conclusion of which, the tree was relieved of its burden, and as the good things found their way to their rightful owner, hearts were made happy and glad.Miss Goff, the teacher in charge, is to be congratulated for the high standing and general efficiency of the young people under her care and tuition, and for the pleasing manner in which the school was closed for the holidays, giving to each other the opportunity of expressing their farewells (Continued on Page 61 HENTY-TW OF STEAMER\u2019S CREW LOST LIVES IN WRECK Furness Line Steamer Florence Founders on Reefs Near St.Shotts, Nfld.Only Five of Crew Reached Shore.Others were Driven back toship Owing To Being Unable to get Over the Inaccesible Cliffs.Rescued men had Trying Experience.St.John\u2019s, Nfld., Dec.23\u2014Twenty two of the twenty-seven members of the crew of the Furness line steamer Florence, from Halifax, N.S., for St.John\u2019s, lost their lives in the wreck of the vessel on the ledges west of St.Shotts during a northwest gale last Friday.Five exhausted survivors, who reached land in a boat, brought the news to Trcpassey last night.The steamer carried no passengers.Captain Barr, of the steamer, and all his men reached shore after the vessel struck, but the lofty, inaccessible cliffs of St.Shotts prevented their escape.The big tide, backed up by the southwest gale, made it impossible to remain there and all hands were obliged to put nack to the ship, which vms pounding bet\u2019, fly.Captain Barr felt confident that the wind would go down, but Second Mate J.Hedley volunteered to take four men in one of the ship\u2019s boats and seek a more favorable landing place further along the coast.In the heavy seas then running the captain was unwilling to risk more lives and gave his consent to the second mate\u2019s expedition with reluctance.With great difficulty Hedley piloted his small boat along the coast until he saw a break in the rugged line of cliffs.Pointing the nose of the boat directly into the surf be avoided the outlying rocks and on the crest of a great breaker ran his craft in without being upset.Tumbling out hastily to avoid being sucked back by the undertow the mate and nis four men dragged their boat up tie beach I out of reach of the sea.The wind and sea in the meantime had increased.The combers broke continually over the decks of the vessel, which was grinding heavily on the jagged rocks.Hedley and his men searched in vain for some path by which the cliff might be scaled or the crew of the Florence helped.The coast in that vicinity was uninhabited.The few fishermen\u2019s huts were deserted for the winter and Hedley had to take refuge for the night in one of these abandoned shacks.At daybreak Saturday Hedley found that the wind had been steadily increasing.Hurrying back to the point off which the Florence lay, he could see no sign of the steamer.Considerable of her cargo of lumber was floating along the shore, but no boats were visible.After the five survivors had made a long but fruitless search along the shore for some trace of their shipmates they started for St.Scotts, the nearest inhabited place, several miles distant.Two of them were so exhausted from the cold and exposure that they had to be assisted by their comrades.These two were left at St.Shotts to recuperate while the others pushed on to Trepassey, whence they sent word of the disaster to this city.They are not expected to arrive here before the middle of the week.Besides Mate Hedley, the survivors are Seamen W.Wight, C.Malmquist, E.Taylor and T.Smeding.The steamer Florence was of 1,609 tons burden and was built in Sunderland, England, in 1889.She was 293.5 feet long, 40.2 beam, with a depth of 26.1 feet.Explosion OF THE MEN WORKING IN THE GALLERIES ONLY THREE REACHED THE SURFACE ALIVE.Tokio, Dec.23.\u2014(Special)'\u2014Over two hundred Japanese coal miners were entombed and are probably dead as a result of a terrible explosion which occurred in the Ubari colliery at Sap poro, on the island of Hokkaido, to day.Of the two hundred and more men who were working in the galleries of the pit at the time, only three weze brought to the surface alive, and the officials fear that all the rest have perished.CIVIC ELECIION Contests in Nearly al Wards in City are in Prospect MATTERS SEEM TO BE FRAMING UP IN THIS-DIRECTION.The Citizens Association will meet tonight to receive final reports from the ward committee.It is expected reports will be received from all wards.It is reported from the East Ward, that the committee has reac bed a de cision in favor of Aid.Simoneau and Ex-Mayor Fortier.It is also, rumor ed that Aid.Brault, who was favored by a part of the committee, will also be in the field.In the North Ward, Col.E.B.Worthington has dropped out, and Aid.J.M.Jenckes, It is understood, will be reported in his stead.It is iearned that in an interview < n Saturday, Aid.Jenckes expressed his hearty approval of the commission government proposals and his decision if returned, to do all in his pow er to carry thorn in to effect.It is stated that Aid.Ewing is in the field and Mr.J.K.Edwards has already been reported by the committee.The matter will very likely go before the public meeting in this way, unless a movement to induce Mr.Edwards to run in the Centre Ward materializes.The Centre Ward is still obscure.A good many citizens cannot under stand why the committee should have dropped Aid.L.H.Olivier, one of the most progressive of the old hoard of aldcrmanand endorsed, sub ject to conditions, the other Ward Alderman who has not beenso con sistently on the side of progress.It is understood the Committees explanations that Aid.Olivier neither resides, nor is his business in the ward.There are a good many, how ever, who would favor the return of Aid.Olivier, It is rumored that the Committee will be asked a few questions before action, is taken on its report tonight.From the South Ward comes rumors of a gathering storm.It is even said that the spectacle of Aid.Me Manamy and ex-Alderman Denault running side by side may be seen again Aid.Ledoux and Aid.L.H.Olivier arc mentioned as likely candidates for this ward, and a contest is in prospect.A delegation came down Saturday from the New West Ward to ask Mr.John Leonard to come up and run for municipal honors.So a situation along the line of a contest is being framed there, with say, Messrs.Dar-che and Sangster against Messrs Prunier and Leonard.So the sky is not absolute cloar so far as municipal politics is concerned.IRE BALKAN ALLIED FORCES ARE READY TO RESUME Ml

Realizing their danger apparently ! while still partly conscious all three i had left their beds and attempted to I escape from the gas, the young wo-j man having reached a window which she opened before death overtook her.London, Dec.23.\u2014The peace en-voys of the Balkan States and of Turkey met again in conference at St.dames Palace Saturday afternoon and adjourned at six in the evening after a session lasting two hours.Saturday's session, the fourth since the peace conferences were begun in London, was the longest yet held.The delegates had before them Turkey\u2019s fresh instructions empowering the Turkish delegates to treat with the Grecian representatives on condition that Turkey he allowed to revictual the fortress of Adrianople.The discussion of this delecate question occupied the entire session and an agreement had not vet been reached when the conference adjourned to meet again at four p.m.to-day.Tho contention ol the Balkan allies delegates was that the question of revictualling the fortress was settled by the terms of the armistice and that thOv have no power to interfere with these terms.Dr.Danen, the head of the Bulgarian delegation, said after the adjournment that it was uncertain whether the delegates would he able to reach a definite decision even on Monday.CKFRTAL STATEMENT.An official communication on tho progress of the peace conference was issued later in the day.It says: \"The further adjournment of the conference is (iue to the fact that the Turkish envoys demanded the revic-tuailizing of the fortress of Adrianople as n primary step.The delegates of the allied Balkan nations replied that that was not a condition of the armistice drawn up at Tchataljara.Tile Turks thereupon stated that in view of the contention set up by the allies they must apply to their Government for instructions on that point.KING RECEIVES DELEGATES.The peace delegates were ail receiv ed in audience yesterday by King George at Buckingham Palace.Each mission was received separately by his majesty, who in a few cordial * words impressed the enjoys with his -earnest hope that success would attend their negotiations.CRISIS EXPECTED TO DAY.London, Dec.23.The crisis of the | peace conference will be reached at i the session to-day.If the Turks de- j cidc to waive their demand for the revictualing of Adrianople the allies ; will present their term ; for peace.! The conference can then proceed to j the.discussion of its real business.The Turkish Cabinet met yesterday ! and telegraphed instructions to the | Ottoman delegates.All the delega tions held conferences at their hotels and despatched long cipher telegrams to their governments.G B EC IA N PARTTC \u2019 1P A TION.London, Dec.23.-According to the Daily Telegraph, the contention of the Turkish delegates is that the admission of Greece into the peace conference introduces an unexpected element, which is likely indefinitely to prolong the proceedings owing to the necessity of settling difficult problems like Crete and the fate of the Aegean Islands.The Turks argue, that when the armistice was arranged they did not haggle about the rcvictualling of the fortresses because they supposed that they bad to deal only with Bulgaria, Hervia and Montenegro, and that peace would be quickly concluded.TURKISH MILITARY FEELING.! Constantinople, Dec.23.\u2014The Cabinet yesterday discussed the peace negotiations and forwarded fresh instructions by wire to the delegates at London.It is believed In some quarters that Turkey is about to invoke the good offices of the powers to promote an agreement.I The military feeling continues ! strongly in favor of re-opening hostilities rather than surrender Adrianople.Reinforcements arriva almost daily from Syria and Kurdenstan.Several important orders for guns and war stores have been placed abroad.The military power favor remaining on the defensive during the winter and assuming the offensive in the spring While this military spirit undoubtedly endangers the stability of the Cabinet, it is not shared by the sober-minded | citizens, who are most anxious for the conclusion of peace.The Government Is devoting atten- i tion to reforms in the Anatolian provinces and proposes to send a special commission of inquiry to the Ar-j mcnian provinces.AROUND SCUTARI.London, Dec 2.1.A Durazzo de-1 j spatch to the Times describes sorties of the Turks from Scutari.One of the I eight battalions, with artillery,] marched down the river Drin, Wed-I need ay, burning villages on the way.\\ The Turks crossed into the Servian zone and attacked the Servians.The! battle lasted all day and the Turks were routed and driven across the river.But the Servians made_no pur- ] ! suit, as they were under orders not to cross the limits of the neutral i zone.The question is asked, continued the correspond, nt, ns to w hat the Montenegrin army is doing, and why it | did not take advantage of the weakening of the Turks\u2019* garrison by two-thirds to enter Scutari bv the rear.MILITARY POSITION OF ALLIES.London, Dec 23.The allies claim that their military position has been greatly strength! ned, and if they must [ re open the war they can muster be-' tween Adrianople and Tchatalja 380,* 1.5 a lady who desires her identity t< remain a secret during her lifetime with the erection of a new Catholh hospital In London.A site was se cured at Dollis Hill, and the hospita will cost approximately $75,000.B; desire of the foundress, French speaking persons will be given pre Terence as patients.A Dangerous Weapon A striking exhibition of the qualitiei of a rifle which had already cause< '.he death of a boy was inadvertentl; ?iven at an Inquest at Lea Hall, Lin rolnshire.The coroner asked Mr Mackintosh, the owner of the rifit 0\tgive a demonstration of its work ng, after receiving an assurance tha .he weapon was unloaded.Mr.Mackintosh was detailing th mechanism when the rifle went off and a bullet whizzed by the head o the coroner.Hospital on Roman Cemetery Site How a Chester hospital was built yn the site of a Roman cemetery wa related at a lecture at Chester by Dr J.Elliott and Professm R.Newstead Among the relics of the Roman occu pation that were discovered in the excavations for an extension of the hospital Professor Newstead found in a layer of charcoal an iron tpear-head encrusted with rust, in which was embedded a piece of Upchurch ware of the Roman period.Mouse In a Coffin How a mouse made Its home in a coffin was related at an Inquest on a collier at Neath, Wales.Dr.Evans said that he performed a postmortem examination, and found two wounds, one above each eye-orow.A portion of one of the thumbs down to the bone had disappeared, and this appeared to have been due to mice.The left ear was also eaten away.When they lifted the body out of the coffin they found 1\tlive mouse underneath.Clairvoyance Frauds At Glasgow a middle-aged woman earned Agnes Ferguson, or Lavery, was sentenced to nine months\u2019 imprisonment on two charges of fraud.The accused, by pretending that she required jewellery for purposes of clairvoyance, obtained a gold cross and gold-mounted tiger's claw, and pawned these articles the same day.Later she obtained from a lady in Dothwell a gold ring on a similar pretence.For Good Ventilation A new ventilating device includes am electric fan that will draw air either from or Into a room, an advantage In the case of a warm room, which may be made more comfortabli by expelling its heated air.The London Press and The Navy (Note\u2014A group of men who are in accord with the Government's Naval and other policies have arranged for the publication of a series of articles bearing upon these matters.This article is one of the series and is received by this paper as paid matter.) Of course, every London journal has commented upon the naval propositions of both the Government and the Opposition.These papers all give due credit to both political parties.For example, the Evening Standard welcomes the evidence that Canada speaks with one voice on the broad principle that she should bear her due share of the general naval defence of the Empire.But when it conies to a choice between the two policies, both of which are intended to help Great Britain, and help her immediately, these papers favor with no uncertain voice the proposition of Mr.Borden.There is, of course, no doubt that Mr.Borden had a better chance to and out just what would best help the Mother Country, for, as tbe Lon-lon Standard says, \"As a result of iis recent conferences with the home luthorities, he knows better than Sir Wilfrid Laurier can know, exactly what they are,\" the reference being to the requirements of the day.The Westminster Gazette, a Liberal journal, assumes that the proposals of Premier Borden will be adopted 'or their immediate purpose, and thinks that this can be done without being incompatible ultimately with Sir Wilfrid Laurier\u2019s idea of a Cana-lian maimed navy organized in the Dominion.All these London papers seem to grasp the idea that the proposals of Mr.Borden are merely to meet the iresent conditions, and that it does not follow that the ideas of Sir Wil-rrid Laurier and his Party could not be embodied in his permanent policy f Mr.Borden so desired.The London Express is supposed to voice authoritative British naval opinion.This journal comes out very openly in favor of the policy of Mr.Borden.It says, in part : \"Sir Wilfrid Laurier himself admitted emergency in 1909, as did Australia, New Zealand and other colonies, but the unergency is infinitely graver now.\u201d The proposals he now makes were liscussed in 1909, and were admitted then by the Admiralty to he feasible, though not the method best calculated to strangthen British sea-power.\"In the meantime, however, the whole position has changed.The German navy was then on a comparatively moderate basis.Now, four-fifths of Germany\u2019s greatly increased naval force are being kept on a war footing within four hundred miles of British shores.Germany is calling up her conscripts in order to keep her ships always ready for attack at he moment most favorable to her.\u2018\u201cThe minimum charge of Sir Wilfrid Laurier\u2019s proposal would he sev-»n and a half million dollars yearly, ¦vith absolutely no additional secur-ty to the Empire, to meet shis new uid serious situation, for the decis-ve battle which would settle the fate vould \u2019most probably be a matter of lays, possibly hours, and would cer-\u2018ainly be all over long before any Alps on the Pacific or other remoter -\u2022eas could be brought into the lighting line in waters near England.\" Another London journal expresses the same opinion in these words : \"If we are to fight an European foe one battleship in tbe North Sea is worth half a dozen on the Pacific.Concentration and instant readiness to deal an overwhelming blow are the \u2022jssence of naval strategy.That is what the Admiralty knows.\u201d The London Times says : \"If Sir Wilfrid Laurier\u2019s argument means anything, it proposes that the Empire may he engaged in a life and death struggle about a cause in which (Canada disapproves, and if her ships are needed for action it can only be either in a question nearly affecting herself, or else in some broad conflict which may bring the whole Empire down to semi-detachment.It is, therefore, in reality not a practicable alternative.Mr.Borden has seen that clearly enough.He has realized that in any great struggle where her ships might be required, Canada would stand or fall by the results, whether she wished it or not.\u2019\u2019 It really seems as if they ought to know over in England better than we do here in Canada, what will best help the Mother Country just now.They say over there that Mr.Borden\u2019s plan will be the more helpful.If it would be, Canada should follow that plan.CANADIAN.RANDBORO.Arrivals and departures : Mr.Geo.Boyd to Brooklyn, N.Y., for the holidays;

the Model City and the St.Laurent parish bill.Several bills were dropped by the wayside.These include the three domicile bills, two by Mr.Kelly and one by Mr.Tellieg, Another bill dropped from the order of the day was that of Mr.Perron on the dis franchising of inmates of jails and asylums.OTHER CASES DEALT WITH INCLUDED ASSAULT CHARGES AND CONTRAVENTION OF LICENSE LAW Louis Daigle of Emberton was charged before Judge Mulvena at the instance of the Provincial Revenue Collector, with having sold liquor without a license.He was sentenced to pay a fine of $50 or three months in jail.THREE MONTHS FOR THEFT.Emmanuel Huckins of Magog committed for trial on a charge of stealing a pair of boots from the store of one Joseph Ohamberland at Magog, and also for stealing a fur coat from the store of Sender Smiloritz asked for a speedy trial and pleaded guilty to both charges.He was sentenced to three months in jail in each case.EVIDENCE.NOT SUFFICIENT.In the case of John Darwin vs.Fred Madden, both of the city, for breaking into complainant\u2019s room and stealing several small articles, the Court discharged the accused for want of sufficient proof.BOUND OVER TO KEEP PEACE.Ludger Leblond of Lennoxville was sentenced to pay a fine of five dollars and costs and to give his personal bond in the sum of $100.00 with one surety of the same amount to keep the peace for the next twelve months on a charge of assaulting his wife and threatening to kill her.In default of the payment of the fine and costs he will go to jail for thirty days.The defendant had recently been bound over to keep the peace by Justices of the Peace, and being unable to furnish the bondsmen went to jail.PROMISED TO BEHAVE.Napoleon Blanchette, aged thirteen years, who pleaded guilty to a charge of assaulting and beating one Jean Lapointe aged 11, was allowed to go on suspended sentence on his promise to behave.MAGOG HOTEL-KEEPER FINED.Oliva Garceau, of Magog, hotel-keeper, was fined $30 and costs or three months in jail for selling liquors at hours forbidden by law.Napoleon Lepine, licensed liquor shop-keeper of Magog, was fined S75 and costs or three months in jail for allowing liquor to be sold in quanti ties less than that allowed by law, and drunk on his premises at hours forbidden by law, this being his second conviction.DESERTION OF SERVICE.Joseph Lambert was fined one dollar and costs or 10 days in jail for deserting the service of the E.T.Brick & Manufacturing Co., at Lennoxville.THEFT CHARGE FAILS The case of Charles Woodrow of North.Hatley vs.Arthur Desmond, for stealing a rifle, the Court after hearing the evidence discharged the accused.help.A considerable sum of money, the proceeds of the t^a and contributed, will also be used judiciously for cases of illness or distress.GAME ON CHRISTMAS DAY.The Shamrocks, of Montreal, will play the local team on Christmas afternoon.The visitors will arrive on the noon train The Sherbrooke team is rounding into shape, and will have a surprise in store for their supporters for this game.Smith, who formerly played with Westmount, w-ill likely be seen in a Sherbrooke uniform this year.\u2014Primary.Recitation, \u201cA Christmas Tree Farm\u201d\u2014Gerald McGee*.Recitation, \u201cThe Thunder Roared\u201d \u2014George Campbell.Trio\u2014M.Dunsmore, D.Sangster.Dialogue, \u201cChristmas in Naughty Land\u201d\u2014Robbie Rude-hoy, E.Sjolan-der;

C.P.R., the latter part af which is already open as a winter road.It will be remembered that an article appeared in the Record sonrn time ago, advocating the opening of this very piece of road, which is one of the connecting links in the opening of another trunk line of road from Sherbrooke into the States, which will ere long be a good automobile highway if all the municipalities are alive to the benefits of such a highway.When this road is open and in working order there only remains a short piece of road just three miles from Keen\u2019s Siding, in Ditch-field, to the boundary line unopened, to make a continuous and straight highway from Sherbrooke via Scots-town, Milan, Spring Hill and Lake Megantic to the boundary.The town of Jackman, Me., which is only 23 miles from the Boundary, has already offered to meet the Canadian road at the boundary whenever the Canadians on this side wake up and do something for their own interests.Lake Megantic and the Associated Boards of Trade should
