COLDMLâ€"This, Friday, morning the temperature is a great deal lower than it has been for some days past. and a little.snow has fallen. The weather we have had of late was both uuseasonable and unhealthful, and almost everybody is wishing for a hard enough frost and sufficient snow to make good sleighing again. A Guess Commonsâ€"The young folks who were looking forward to a sleigh ride on Christmas day were badly disappointed, as the snow with which the roads were so plentifully covered a week earlier had entirely disappeared, and there were slight falls of rain two or three times during the day. It was what is called a “ green Christmas,” but "mud colored " would be nearer the mark. ' WITH HONORSr-n‘ll‘. Harry Robson, who came home a few days ago from the Ontario College of Pharmacy to spend his Christmas holidays, has re- ceived word that he passed hisjunior examination “with highest honors," which is the more to his credit as he missed about forty lectures through sickness last fall. Mr. Robson's final examination will be held in June, and there is no doubt that he will pass it, as he passed the first, with flying colors. A LOSSâ€"On Christmas day Mr. Wm. Golden, Iivcryman, lost the best animal in his stable, :1 black mare that he purchased about a year ago. She had had a hard day’s work over heavy roads, and soon after her return from Lindsay, about 8 p. m., was seized with inflammation, of which she died in spite of all the efforts made to save IlLl' There are but too many livery homes which, if they could think, would look forward to death as a blessed boon, and she appears to have been one of them. Fannims’ INSTITUTE.â€"Meetings in connection with the Farmers’ Institute will be held at Lindsay on January 16th, at Fenelon Falls on the 17th, at Bobcayueon on the 18th, and at Oak- wood on the 20th, and addresses will be delivered by Prof. A. E. Shuttle worth, 0.15.. C., Guelph, Mr. A. H. Pettit, of Grimsby, and Mr. James McEwing of Drayton, as well as by prominent farmers of the vicinity. Posters and programmes giving full particulars will be issued in a few days. THE RINKâ€"Mr. Edward Chambers, lessee of the Fenelon Falls skating rink, has had ill luck so far. There was good ice quite as early as usual, and bills were issued announcing a carnival on the 20th, but a thaw set in a few days before that date, and the carnival, like Wiggins’s storm, was " postponed on account of the weather.“ Never mind! There is an old saying that “a bad beginning makes a good ending" ; and there’s lots of time ahead for plenty of skating. curling, hockey playing and three or four carnivals.

JOHNSTON & SISSON, lst Door East of Duly House, Lindsay CHRISTMAS Tansâ€"On Christmas Eve the Presbyterians had a Christmas Tree in Dickson's hall, and every attend- ant at tho Sunday school was made happy by the receipt of-ouc or more presents. The fan drill, by twelve young ladies in Japanese Costume, was so greatly admired at the entertainment on the evening of the 9th, that it was given again on Christmas Eve. and will bear two or three more repetitions. A snulll fee charged for the admission of adults realised the sum of about 810. \Ve understand that the children nI'St. James's church Sunday school are to have a Christmas tree before long. A Gnsar PRUDIR"PIUN.â€"A marvol- lously great paper is the Family Herald and Weekly SIM‘ of Montreal. It is a newspaper. a nmgazine, a stuckbreeder's journal, a farmer's encycloposdia, n dairy-man‘s guide. a household compan- ioa. Too much cannot be said in praise ; of the Famin Herald and Weekly Star.

Tm: Plowmanâ€"So far five ticket holders have availed themselves of the privileges of the Fenelon Falls General Hospital. Two have recovered, and have gone back to work. Three are at present under treatment; one, Mr. Gardner, is convalescent, and will re- turn to his home in Sarnia on Thurs- day morning. The other two will be there for some time, one having a cut in his leg, and the other is a severe case of pleurisy with efl'usion on the left lung. The doctor is quite sanguine as to the sale of tickets in future, especial ly in the camps from which these men have come, as each patient seems to be well satisfied with his care and treat- ment and is quite willing to give a testimonial to that effect. .-. A Quarter of a. Century. It is announced that The Canada Presbyterian will commence with the 1st of January, its twenty-fifth year of publication. The paper has gradually grown from small beginnings, until now it is recognized as second to no religious journal in the Dominion. Its columns have always commanded the best talent in the large and influential denomina- tion it so worthin represents; and for the coming year all the old-time favor- ites are retained, while a number of new writers have promised to contribute to the various departments of the paper. The “ make up " of The Presbyterian is simple and comprehensive. Its table of contents each week falls under the followine headings. viz: Notes of the \Veek, Our Contributors, Teacher and Scholar, Christian Endeavor. Pastor and People, The Family Circle, Our Young Folks, The Missionary World, Health and I'Ionsehold Hints, British and For- eiun, along with a strong editorial page.
