Sometimes it is as high as 160,000 barrels a week, or about 18,000 a day.

The desire is simply that the agents for the job printing offices shall be placed on the same footing as peddlers of tea, goods, and other commodities. â€" A very sensible minister, preach- leg a New Year's sermon at the be- ginning of the current year,* took Occasion to urge his hearers to make a suitable provision for those they were leaymg behind if it should so happen that during this year they should die. aud that they should be sure to make theii wills and take care that their assurance policies did not lapse. Endless trouble and sorrow might be saved if people would only attend to such advice. It won't make anybody die a day sooner if the will is made and the life assured. â€" A new and revised edition of the Scripture Bea dings for nse io the pub- lic schools has just been issued.
