The Toronto Globe published a beautifully illustrated Christmas aup- plemeut on Saturday last. For en- terprise the Olobe people are always op with the times, and from a literary and typographical standpoint publish the best anJ ck-anent paper in Canada. The number referred to is especially a mine of pleasure and instruction. Tomorrow will bo nomination day Our Council will be slightly changed next year that is settled. Mr. Ped- lar informs ns that bo is not again a candidate, but that Mr. Oeo. Thomp- BOH will give it a trial. As to whether Mr. Thompson will have opposition, tomorrow alone will decide. There has been nothing new announced in regard to the Flesherton Ward, and it is just possible that Mr. Best will be returned by acclamation. To-morrow wtll make all clear. Tlio sacred Christmas season is once more with ns. It has every ap- pearauco of being one of the old-fash- ioned icicle-hung, snowed under kind which our grandfathers talk about see- iug in their sappy years. Let it be so. We would not care to spend Christmas in the south seas where tor- rid suns burn out ones eyes. We prefer a fair degree of frost, and rosy checks, and jolly bells, that laugh across the uow, and w intend to stay with theiu. We do not see that there is auy reason why everybody should not thoroughly enjoy them- selves ou Monday next iu the time- honored way. At all events we fully expect, and ardently hope that every one of our subscribers will have a vjry Merry Christmas. paid 91 (VI for repairing bridge at tot 191, C.>M. 2, E. T. and 8. Road. Carried.
