George Hodgins, E sq., M . A., LL. D., for mar;ty years Deputy-Superintendent of Education for Ontario, which is a suffi. cient guara;ntee of the merit.s of the volume. It is a large book of 2301 pages, 7 by 10 inches, containing a most varied and interesting series of facts, anecdotes and stories in prose and poetry, beautifully illustrated by 112-il'lustrations. -The publishers acknowledge a mun ificent gift of $500 from Miss Gwynne, of Parkdale, and donations of $25 mch from the Hon. Senator Macdonald, vV. R. Brock, J. R . Pearce, Edwarcl Gurney and others, without which this publication could not have been issued. Seeing such favorable comments by the Press on ".Aims ancl Objects," we ordered a copy, and c1:1n tr uthfully say that no book ever placed in the hands of our children ever created great~r interest among them or was read with m'-lre.avidity. It is ver y suitable for public readings and recitations orfora H oliday presen t t o a boy or girl under 18 yearn. The cloth-bound edition is a larger and better book than is often sold for $1.50.

'Ve have to record tha death, on Thursd~.y morning, Dec. 27t.h. at the residence of his son, Councilman David Fallis, Cart. wright, of James Fallis, E~q. at the ad· ~ance age of 87. The deceased was one of Cartwright's oldest settlers, having resided in that township, for · upwards of 50 years; he was a man of rema1kable, physical, and constitutional power, and posses·ed powers of endurance and ability, to stanil all the hardships incidental to pioneer life, that few, if \IDY of the present generation are gifted with. In his early days he chopped th~ timber on much of tbe land that now constitute~ the site of Bowman ville, As a neighbor he was kind and ohliging,as a host, · generous and hospitable, and his door was ever open to the ambassador of the cross; bis end was peaceful,calm, and without a ~trug1rle he pruised to thu other shorP., .with kind hands and loving hearts ministering to his wants . The Anniversary Services in connection with the Queen St. Melhodisl Church were held on Sunday and Tuesday lasl. On Sunday, two excellenl sermons were preached by ihe Rev. N. A. McDiarmid, of Oshawa. Tbe Rev. genlleman is a very fluent speaker, and crealed a very favor· able impression among those who had the pleasure of hearing him. The Annual Tea was held on Tuesday, bul was not so nu. merously aUended as on some former oo. casions. After Tea a public meeting was orgo.nized in the church, with Mr. I'. Trebilcock in the chair. Addresses were delivered by Revs. Messrs. McDiarmid,Fra. zer, and Matthews, interspersed by sl:ieet music from the excellent choir, under the efficient leadership of Prof. Chas. Ruse. A rncial will be held this evening, to which lbe public are cordio.Uv invited to &ltend. We are in receipt of a bound copy of Ayer'a Almanac for 1889, embracing editions in ten languages. Specimen pag&s of pamphlets in eleven other tongnes are also inoluded, some of them being very curious and interesting,especially those in Tarkish , llawaiian, Burmese, and Chinese, which we have not yet bad time io peruse. All the people ihus represented have n.ow an opportunity to read of ibe cures effected by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, and Ayer's Pills, so long standard family medicines m this country. 'fbe aecuracy of foe astronomical ealeulations, as well as the other tabn1o.tedmatter contained in Obis work, commends it to all in need of a valuable and reliable alman1w. We may add thai the annual issue of Aver's Almanac is about fourteen millions-far exceeding tb11i of any othe:r w,1rk of the J;ind. This is cerlainly a proof that both the almanac and the medicines it advertisei1 are appreoi· ated by ihe world at large. The familiar yellow·coverecl pamphlet can now be had at all drug stores.

This depa.rt:iµent requires the student to be in daily att.endanca. The other is a CONSERVATORY DEPARTMENT, where students pursue the usual lesson system, with-the addition, that as many of the educational principles of the University Department aa can be judiciously applied, being introduced here. ln this department students will have one lesson per week, but will not be entitled to any school regulations and privileges, excepting while in attendance for their lesson. / Students for the Conservatory Department may call at the office, now open, and register at any time, and arrange for their lessons.
