A good, steady, reliable market is on*^ of the most valvabl* convenianceB an agncnitural community can pos- sess, and Markdale has, for over twelve years, filled the bill in such a manner as to secure and retain the reputation of being a first-class market m every sense of the word. One ^reat reason why this is the case, is because the chief buyers bays been resident merch- ahts whose interests ai'e identical with the growth and prosperity of the vil- lage, and who have been the back- bone of the place all the way through to the present, viz W. J. McFarland and Hill Bro's. These buyers have always paid the highest prices which outside markets would warrant, while at the same time, they have not prac tisedthe unjust means often resorted to in many other markets, viz., run ning up prices for a day or two in order to get a rufh. and then drop them when they get a large quantity of produce out. This is often done by buyers who shift from place to place, seldom remaining m one place more than one seebon, thus wholly disinter-, ested as to the reputation of the market in years to follow. Then again, our village has superior advantages on account of the large ' steam elevators, so convenient to the market, and where produce can be unloaded with ease and dispatch, so that we need not wonder the distance farmers are driving in order to secure those advantages. Last week there were from 75 to 100 loads per day, maay of them from more than half way to CollingwoocI, and some from a few miles from Thornbury, and all leaving well pleased with the result of their trip. The above are some of the reasons why Markdale presents so much of a city appearance, a constant hum of busmess. CHURCH OPENING. The occasion of the dedicatory services has been looked forward to with anxiety and expectaney by the Methodist people of the district, the first Sabbath of which is now a thing of the past. The roads in the country were very heavy owing to the severe storm of the previous day. The weather on Sunday was, however, all tixai could be desired. The morning service was fairly at- tended, when Bev. John Shaw, of Toronto, ei-President of the Toronto Confaierce, conducted the seryiee and performed the dedicatory services, assisted by Rev. W. Ayers, of Flesher- ton i Rev. T. Grandy, of Euphrasia Mission, and Bev. W. Casson, the pastor. The service was appropriate and impressive. The afternoon service was even better attended than the morning, when Warring Kennedy, Esq., of Toronts, preached an able and prac- tical sermon. In the evening the «burch was cirowded to its utmost capacity, fully 8Q0 being present. Bev. Mr. Shaw im^ain preached giving an able and very impressiye discourse. The church was very comfortable and the \Fery best of order prevailed throughout. Mafiy expressions of pleasure and even astonishment were heard strangers as to the beauty par- excellence of the edifice inside and out. • from and Loth Notice.â€" We wish it distmotly understood that we do not hold ourseWes responsib'e for the opinions expressed by our correspondents To the Editor of the Standard. Berkeley, Dec. 19th, 1885. At a social given at No. 5 school house, Holland, on Thursday, Dec. 17th, by the teacher (Miss Stewart), a yery plea iant time was spent.

Miss Stewart replied in a few well chosen words, assuring the children of her affection and earnest good wishes for their future welfare, hoping that her successor would hold the same place in their esteem as she had done. After which the meeting dis- persed, every one feeling that they had enjoyed a good time. Pamtioibatob, Pre sentati*n. On Monday evening last a number of the young people in the section where Miss MigUt bas been teaching for the last two. years, met at her home and, after a liiospitable reception presented her with a handsome silver cruet-stand and the following address: Afm Jennie Might Deab Fbisni), â€" It is with feelings of deep regret that we have assembled here to-night to say farewell, knowing that you are so soon to leave our midst where yonr genial manner and untir- ing efiorts to further the interests of all around yon have endeared yon to us, and when your presence will long be missed. But rest assured that wherever you may go, you will always have the best wishes of the party here assembled. We beg you to accept this gift from us as a slight expression of affection and respect for you, and we hope it will serve to remind you of your many friends in Glenelg from whom yon shall always receive a hearty walcome whenever you can come amongst us. We all join in .wishing yon a merry Christmas t^pd a happy New Year. Signed m behalf of assembly, Lizzie A. Tobst, Axxx. Smith. In reply. Miss Might warmly thanked tne friends present far their kindness and manifestation ot respect, and ex- pressed a desire to assist in anything tending to tiieir welfare.
