Xmas Cheer. — Everybody at this festive season makes a point to have an adequate supply of tho good things of this life. " The man who never to himself hath said, 'tis Xmas and let us have good cheer," must be lacking in the social dispositions, or cannot have a good digestion. We need not, further philosophise, but state tho plain fact, that Mr J. S. Baxter can supply yonr varied requirements for your Xmas dinner. On Saturday the N. M. and A.

Scene in Disk Strkkt. — Two ladies meeting. — Ist lady : " You do look pleased. Where have you been ?" 2nd lady : " Why, I have just been up to Miss Stone's Magic Cave, feasting my eyes on the pretty toys there. Everything is just lovely, and so cheap too : but whom do you think I met there but Denis, Katie and the children. It would do your heart good to see those girls with their beautiful dolls and tea sets, and the boys with their bats, balls and boats. Talk about boats, why the Theresa Ward is nothing to them. I hear tlse Governor will have his own carriage and pair when up country. I wouldn't wonder but what he has been to the Magic Cave, where you get toy cabs, mail coaches, pony carts, or a carriage and pair, ami I don't see why the Hon. J. (». need bother about a site for the new workshops when trains and engines can be got ready-made at tho Magic Cave. 1 can tell you I am well pleased with my pur chases, and so will you be if you go there, and think of all that you can save by buying your toys at the Magic Cave." It speaks well for Chamberlain's Cough Remedy when druggists use it in their own families in preference to any other. " I have sold Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for the past five years with complete satisfaction to myself and customers," says Druggist J. Goldsmith, Van Etten, N.Y. "I have always used it in my 0W» family both for ordinary coughs and coKIh and lor the cough following la grippe, and find it very efficacious." tor sale by Macajjster and Co, Chemists.
