Among those who are sspiring for a seat in the Council, Mr. Samuel Caldwell naturally attracts attention from the very unsatisfac- tory record he made while in the Council. He then showed his total untuess for the duties of Councillor and was rejected; Victoria Ward is jeopardizing its interests by voting for him now. Obstructionists and men with old fogy ideas are not wanted in the Barrie Council, and we shall be greatly deceived if Mr. Samuel Caldwell is not pretty badly left by the electors of Victoria Ward.

The new Liberal-Conservative organ, the Empire, is on our table. It has a solid, sub- stantial look, strongly suggestive of the strength and permanency of the principles it is designed to sustain. It is a fty-six column, closely printed paper, and starts withas fall a budget of news. home and foreign, as an old established journal. Its editorial page gives promise of a well "written, incisive style, exactly adapted to the present require- ments of journalism. Its mechanical make-up is all that could be desired. We predict for the Empire a useful and successful career. Mr. John C. McNa.b. It is Tdifcult to see on what ground Mr. John O. McNsb seeks a higher seat in the council._ His course has been one of petty obstruction to almost every improvement which has been suzgested for the town. If grumbling, fault-nding and do-nothingism are qunlicstions for a municipal councillor, than Mr. John C. McNab makes one of the rst wster.- There is nothing .in his past record in the council that can in any way jnsiify his election to the position which he see s. I! on or separate school Trustees.

About thirty visitors were present. The classes were examined by Mr. Rix, of Ho- bart,land Mr. J. C. Macpherson, of Jarratt s Corners, and the answering of the pupils was such as to be appreciated by all present, and was indicative of the careful teaching which they have received. After the visitors had been entertained with a number of choice songs and recitations by the pupils, Mr. Whitelock was made the recipient of a hand- some Bible and address. The teacher re- turned the compliment by presenting each pupil with a Christmas card. A number of complimentary addresses were given by the trustees and ratepayers, while the pupils ex- pressed their affection for their teacher by giving away to their feelings. Mr. White lock has become very popular here, owing to his taking an active part in the Sunday school. and we only hope his successor, Mr. Jamison, will be as successful. Dlinesing.

As Christmas Day was on Sunday, appropriate Christmas services were held in most of the churches of the town. The Episcopal Church generally celebrates the day in a more demonstrative way then dissenting churches. Trinity Church was beautifully decorated with evergreens and the service of song was more than ordinarily good. The streets were quite` lively with sleighs from the country, many persons coming to attend religious services. The weather was all that one could desire, being `of that healthy bracing temperature so characteristic ot this favored part of Ontario. " D. F. Macwatt, S. N. D. Neill. J. W. J. Dickinson, J.

Thursday's market was large, and quite a quantity of grain and hay was brought in, ,prices on Thursday being the same as the quotations of the Saturday previous. Last Saturday the market was a good one. Beef and pork were the chief meats offered in .1nantity. The butchers stalls were a ne sight not- withstanding that the main part of Christ- mas meat had been cut up. There was a large amount of stuff in baskets in the women s room. V The following were the ruling prices on Saturday: Wheat, 770. to 80. ; oats, 340. to 35c. ; peas, 58c. to 600. ; pork, $6.25 to $6.60. No change eitherin beef or poultry from our. last quotations. Hay is lower going from $8 to $10, potatoes 750. a beg, apples $1 00 a beg, Butter 220. to 25c. a pound, eggs 20c., rough hides 50., ; trimmed 6 to 61, dry wood $3.00, green 82 75. j` The day was cold with a raw eastern wind with snow, so that the attendance was not as large as though there had been sunshine l and a milder temperature.

From what your corre- spondent could learn it was caused by the upsetting of a hand lump. It seems that one of Mr. Lewis boys was in the barn at- tending to the animalsand had set `the lamp down when it was kicked over by a pig and before the boy saw it, it had gained such headway that he could not put its out, al- though Mr. Lewis was in theshouse when it occurred, he was unable to save anything. His loss is very heavy, but we believe there is asmall insurance on the building and con- tents. ' ' "f"I1. Williams and M. Burton moved and seconded the nomination of James Wilkin-_ -5..

It is gratifying, however. to know that although the cases are somewhat more numerous than usual, they are not of a very serious character. . . It is much to be deplored that so much ill- feeling should arise out of the carryin out of the Canada Temperance Act. and wh' e we would not wish to lay the blame on any party in particular, there seems to be a lack of clearness . in the Act itself and a want of unanimity on the part of the whole people, without which, in our opinion, itcan never be successfully carried out. 7 (X7- 0-anal that in than nvnnnnn A` {Jan `Aw nun III QUIT IUIC U110 lllllllvllln Stephenson v.
