Skating rinks are being made | by the council at the different pldces about town, so sur young folks will experience no trouple in finding good ice.Election protests continue the talk of the town, Mr Brown of Chateauguay has filed preliminary objections vs.his opponent, Campbell Lane.Your correspondent attempted to interview Mr Robb regarding the Huntingdon protest.but elicited nothing more than that the weather lately had been rather stormy.The market hotel, owned by P.N.Lamarre, has been sold to E.Gregory of St.Remi for $11,500.The case of T.Robert, St Louis, who was arrested on a charge of assault, came before the court on Tuesday, and was postponed until the 18th.Mr Legault gave n read'ne Sunday evening in the Cercle Emard on the life of Cremazie the voet.The reading was much ap- vreciated.Mr Saucler, tenor soloist of Montreal, assisted by singing some of the best pieces of his repertoire.The senior pupils of the Gault institute, were busily engaged cn Tuesday flooding the Bpaclous and convenient plece of ground which they intend utilizing for their skating rink, The coming hockeyites have shewn considerable enterprise in carrying the project to a successful issue.Mcasels are prevalent and fatal results in some cases.The changeable weather is responsib:e for many cases of grippe.Complaint is made of the dangerous condition of the sidewalks all over the city, through there not being kept free from ice, Asphalt pavements require particular attention.The canal foot bridge should receive a clearing of ice and snow to render it safe and passable.A hurried visit of a constable to the corner of Vie- toria and St.Laurent streets is not judged sufficient to free the spot from the customary loafers who infest the place! The derelict barge, which has proved itself a source of much trouble owing to its many meanderings in the bay the last two seasons, has again slipped her moorings and is creating cons:d- erable trouble.The government engineer for the district should have the obstruction removed ba- fore it causes serious damage, Beauharnois Conservatives, tet- ter counsels prevailing, have wisely decided to withdraw the protest against the election of Mr Papineau.Owing to the continued dulinese of the cotton trade, it is feared that some of the departments will be put on another short-time spell, working 9 hours instead of 10 hours.With the existing conditions all over the country the loss of one hour per day is not very severe, and with equivalent economy can be borne withou causing distress, \u2018 Thos.T.Clyde, carpenter and contractor, has made an assignment, and a meeting 8 creditors le called for the 21st Dec.HERDMAN Our creamery continues doing n tood business for the veason, taking in milk twico à week.The delivery on Monday was 568001b.which shows there is some milk left in the country.Mr Travisee paid 100 pounds.One patron who sold his ekimmiik, got 10c the 190 for $1.25 for November

gathered the garments that their gulld had been industriously making during the past months, to MacDougall hall and these were eagerly picked up by ready vurchasers who foung excellent value In the useful and beautiful aiticles on sale.The interest taken in the sale was indicated by the fact that people were waiting for, admission to the hall before the door was opened.Thi interior presented an antmat- ed appearance, as in cheery groups visitors gathered in social intercourse by the attractive stalls or around the refreshment tables, where the excellence of the fare tempted the appetite.With receipts aggregating over eighty dollars, the ladies of the guild are no doubt satisfied that the evening was a profitable one.A place of public resort where young people might spend an cvening in social intercourse without harmful surroundings, has Jong been a fe]t want here, and how to provide it has beena matter of serious thought to all interested in the wellare of youth.Amongst others, the temperance organizations of th: village have debated this gques- tion and, after mature deliberation, made a move last Monday evening, when the school-room of MacDougall hall was opened from 7 to 10 o'cgock for this purpose.teading and games were provided, and also an opportunity to indulge musical taste for those so inclined.The projectors of this enterprise are quite encouraged by the success of their first ventre, as about fifty persons visited the room during the evening and seemed to enjoy themselves heartily, The intention at present is to open the room 8 evenings in the

Drum.mond, and Rev.Mr Reid gave two songs, which were much enjoyed.Regret was expressed that other duties called Rev.Mr Roy away immediately after supper.An unexpected and pleasing item on the program was the presentation to Miss Deschamps and Mrs Gibson, by their Sabbath sclool classes, of a beautiful China salad set and chocolate set reapective- ly, accompanied with best Christmas wishes, The

to fail to be struck with the vast strides that have been made in all department of stock-raising in Ontario.\u201cBaby beef\u201d a few years ago was a term which found anything but favor among stockmen.It is not so very long ago since the chief awards at Guelph were going to animals of four years of age and upwards.Now ome sees championships being carried off by exhibits which in the past would have been looked upon as being almost calves.The reason for the change is to be found simply in the improved methods of breeding which have been adopted, so that animals mature young and are fit for the butcher.One of the most interesting events today was the announcement of the result of the dairy test.This year the test has occupied three days, instead of two, as formerly, and the results amply justify the change, As usual, the best results were shown by the Holsteins, so far as quantity of milk was concerned, but it is interesting to note that in respect to the quantity of butter fat the Jersey stands remarkably well, Ottawa, Dec.11.\u2014At today\u2019s cabinet council it was decided that the first session of the new parliament shall open on Wednes- | day, January 20.L.J.Gauthier, the Liberal candidate to fill the vacancy in the legislature, for St.Mary's division.Montrzal, add: ess'ng th?electors Friday night said among other things\u2014This is pure truth that I am going to teli you.Two delegates who had been invited to the Liberal convention, held last Tuesday night, first went to confession in St.Bridget's church and asked the confessor what attitude they should take at the convention.\u201cWe would like to vote for Gauthier,\u201d they explained to the confessor, \u201cbut we cannot do so.\u201d \u201cWhy can you not?\u201d asked the confessor.\u201cBecause he is a Freemason.\u201d \u201cHow do you know?\u2019 \u201cBecause one of his brethren told us.\u201d \u201cIs he so bad that even his brethren are against him?\u201d asked the priest, who then told the delegates that they might safely support Mr Gauthier at the convention, because the priest knew him personally and knew that he was a good Catholic.Mr Gauthier intimated that people in Quebec p1o- vince would have to beware of the iufluence of immigration.He oxplained that the federal government was bringing to this country people who were not of tho same race or religion as those in Quebec.Those immigrants were settling in the Northwest, but unless the government of Quebec were to work to augment the population here, the Quebec people would be submerged.The parliamentary representation of Quebec province was to remain the same while the new provinces in the west were increasing at the expense of the older provinces.It was to off-set this that Premier Gouin had obtained the annexation of Ungava to Quebec territory and had also obtained increased provincial subsidies.Wetaskiwin, Alb, Dec.6.\u2014Mrs Thos.Wagner had a terrible experience a few days

Dec.14.\u2014Altho the supply of cattle was much larger than a week ago, yet the undertone to the market was strong, and prices for ordinary stock showed an advance of 1-4c per Ib.The quality of the etock offered was all that could be desired by both local and out-of-town buyers for the Christmas trade, there being some extra choice beeves which brought fancy prices.Ordinary choice cattle sold at 5.1-4 to 5.1-B¢, good at 4.8-4 to 5c; fair at 8.3-4 to 4.1-4c; common at 2,1-2 to 8.1-4c, and inferior at 1.1-2 to 2.1-4c per 1b, Calves sold at 3.1-2 to 5.1-2¢ per lb.Sheep sold at 3.1-2 to 3.3-4c
