Matthews has leased hisfhotel here to Tuck McLeod, late of Wood- ford. Matthews (^oes to Owen Sound where he will open in the same busi- ness, he is an off-handed obliging man and will no doubt receive a large share of patronage in his new stand. His farewell supper last Friday even- ing was largely attended. Wc wish him success. The new men Tuck McLeod arc well and favourably known to the pubhc and will doubtless retain their popular reputation in their new quar- ters, they take possession this week. We have a short-hand writer here whom you should engage as report- er. You could then secure full report of the longest sermon if required. The Oddfellows of this place to- gether with a large number of ethers attended the late Mr. John Binns funeral m Owen Sound on the 19th. His unexpected demise east a gloom over the village. He was highly re. spected here by all who knew him. Preparations are being made for a tea-meeting in the Methodist church on Christir ., Dundaik. Frrnn ewr own corr**pondeHt. The Poliece Trustees once more breath freely, and sleep soundly, the threatened suit for damages having been dropped. The addition of a number of buyers on the market, causes sharp competi- tion, and some lively times. Mr. T. Hanbury, has sold the pro- perty occupied by J. J. Middleton Sons, as store and post office. Mr. J. Marshall, returned from Iowa on Tuesday and was serenaded by the band. SnicniE. â€" Mrs. Thomas, a rather weakmiilded woman poisoned herself on Fridiay evening last. She took a quantity of saltpetre, but admitted taking something else. After suffering all day Saturday she died early on Sunday morning. No inquest was held, she leaves a husband and four small children. vances. These engravings alone in any single issue of the paper are worth far more to every farmer and house keeper than the subscription price for five years. Notwithstanding the Amtrican Agriculturalist is fully worth foiu* dollars a year, the sub- scription price will continue at $1.50 during 1984. The Am«'rican Acricnitorakt for Decent ber cloies the forty-second volumn of this leading farm journal with a most ex- cellent number. It contains over ninety five original engravings by Forbes, Tmmble, Folsom, Halm, and other artists. There are in all over one hundred original engravings, of which four are full-page, namely "Home from the wood lot," "Typical Horses at the N. Y. Show," "Christ- mas comes but once a year," and a truly beautiful fiirst page cover. Among the well-known writers are Dr. Geo. Thnrber, Orange Judd, I'r. B. D. Halstead, Prof. S. R. Thorap- son, M. C. Weld, J. M. Stahl, F. }J. Coburn, D. M. Welday, Prof. A. J. Cook, W. D. Boynton, W. W. Meech, P. H. Jacobs, E. A. Long, M. E. Bamford, L. D. Snook, Mrs. G. Bush Jr. Ethel Stone, Mrs. S. A. Elliott, and a long hst of ethers. A remoilel- led House Hints on hogg flUng Chinese farming in California Prize poultry, and a prize sheep bam are a few of the very valuable articles pres- ented. Mr. avid W. Judd contains his Editorial Notes on many topics with engravings. Mins Carr's touch- ing Christmas story will be read the second time by many, both old and young. All of the several tiepart- aents are unusually full, and we only wonder that so much custly reading matter, and so many fine engravingu, can be furnished for the pride {^l.oj per year) of this sterling journal of the Farm, Garden and Household. It should be found in every home. The J.'ecember number of tbe Americav Agriculturist contains about one hundred engravings, which is twenty-five per cent, more than that in any other illustrated penoilical m this or any other country. These il- lustrations are engraved expressly for fche paper by leading artists, covering a wide variety of rural subjects ao well as farm inyentions and contri- Ttie Busines..; Outlook. It can no longer be denied that a period of commercial depression is upon us â€" nay, that it. is even now at our very doors. The stock market has not been in so deplorable a con- dition since th; autumn of 1880. and it is very doubtf:l if bottom Las yet been reached. Rumors, more or less vague, are afloat with resj^)ect to the sDlvency of several l:cai bouses. The weather has been unfavorable, and the wholesale dry-goods business is almost at a stand still. Some old heads, reputed to be wise, take a gloo.ny view of the situa- tion. Others speak hopefully, while a few continue to deny that there is any depression at all. The last nam- ed we believe, are destined to a rude awakening before the advent o.. the spring. "3ut, according to the best opinion we are able to f'^rm, the outlook is by no means disiieartening. That we shall have a dull â- winter is tolerably certain, though a good fall of snow would do wonders for us at the pres- ent time. Let \ij try to make the best, and not tie worst, of the inevit- able. The ponod of iatiation is past, and the period of depression is sure to follow. But tbe inflation has not been very great, and there are few of the other discouraging circumstances which usually mark th ' commence- ment of hard times. The country is in eyery respect in far better codition than it was five years ago. The crops â€" with the single exception of the hay crop, have not been abundant but they haye by no means been a total failure in any part of the coun- try. In many districts the cereals haye been up to the average. In a few they have been \t below it. There has been som j c vsr importa- tion, but not so much as is commonly supposed. The lumber trade has been, and continues to be fairly good. So that there is no good leason for beheving that the depression will be either very great, or of long duration. A hopeful front, and the exercise of diie economy are the best remedies for the existing state of things. And they are remedies that, under similar circumstances, have never been known to fail. â€" Toronto Morning Neic.t, Ba»n Bi/)wn Over. â€" The storm last Wednesday night did moro damage than was at first known of, the most serious loss in this neighborhood oc- curring in Glenelg.
