Miss A. McKechnie. teacher at the Upper Ritchie school had an Fatw- tainment Friday last of dialogues and singing by the scholars and addresses by" the trustees and others. Mr D. Robinson made a good chairman. Miss McKechnie deserves credit for the manner in which she trained her scholars. We would like this Mon. dar afternoon to be at our old school at Top CHILI: the teacher. Miss Me. Culig has an entertainment also but circumstances prevent us being there. Now we close wishing the Editor and family and all readers of the Re view Mar on or near by . pleasant A painful accident happened to Mr. John Firth of Edge Hill on Saturday evening by an explosion of some sheila he was handling. He had two of his fingers badly torn. the index finger almost completely taken oft and half ot the thumb. Dr's Jamieson and Bell were in attendance. Although Margaret McArthur of 114 Dover- court Rd., Toronto. ha's met with an accident which befel her while stand- ing on a chair fixing the cupboard. Some way the top of it fell on her, causing broken ribs and bodily injury. She is in a hospital in the city and latest reports say she is doing as well as can be expected.

Mr Henry Williams of Edge Hill. was under the Dr's care for a few days last week but is able to be up again. We attended church on Sunday last and listened to a powerful sermon from Rev. Smith of the Presbyterian church, suitable to the Xmas season. An old Scotchman was telling of the feast his good old mother made for Christmas. He said she made a heap of big bannocks and a large-pile of small cakes with beoeh nut pork and tea. He said when all the guests were done eating there wasn't as much left as would feed a small child. This was about 70 years ago soma- wlwrn in the Tp. of Glenelg.

Probably before the next Review it; out Xmas will be over before tho readers see it, so we wish all a good Xmas and a pleasant New Year. Xmas will bring to many a home some sad memories. The vacaut'chair in many a Xmas feast is saqu missed. the grim visitor having taken away father, mother, sister or brother since one year ago, while some will be re- joiclng to have an unbroken family reunion at the feast board. Olden times have passed away in being deprived of having a bottll stronger than tea at each end of the table. A night or two before Xmas, We recall in our old town, Pricevllle, some 50 or more years ago, the hotel keepers wquld be filling up Jugs and bottles for the approaching Xmas. “Meudel mo dhuaich nach robh Tera idear ann" or “My dear old country where there was no zero at all." Bur he soon experienced what zero meant in Canada West. some 70 m- [ um cum weather is hard on old [ and feeble people. The past couple of ‘weeks is only a forerunner of what we may have before spring. We read Rev. Matheson's letter in the Review of last week denying the charge against him being an anti-un- ionist. We listened to Mr Matheson’s sermons for nearly 20 years and al- though he strictly adhered to the rules of the Presbyterian church. he was always liberal to the views of other denominations and it mattered not with him what church they be. longed to. They always found in Mr Matheson a true and faithful iitsitor, irrespective of denominational differ- ences. So Mr Matheson has been a Unionist in the true sense ot the word all his [life time as a faithful 'ser'va.nt of the Divine Master. This is Saturday morning. 20th Dec. 19'M, and We feel like the old cat- stiekng close to the stove. We didn't look at the weather indicator but w" believe its away down to zero all, right this morning. An old Scot‘ when newly coming from his native country in Scotland, when he heard: them talking of zero weather saill.‘ Xmas is a reminder to many of us of the passing of time. In the land of our forefathers in the highlands of Scotland, they did not observe Xmas as much as the New Year. However it was just as well as it would only be observed by whooping and danc- ing and drinking all night and to a certain extent is carried on in our fair country in the same manner.
