We are informed that it is the intention of the Town School Committee to eeleot a •suitable place a few miles out of town for the pupils' annual outing this year, instead of taking them a loiy and, it might be, a wearisome journey by train. We think this i is a wise course; the long train journeys out, the scramblo for food, with scarcely any time to see the sights, and then the rush for the train homewards, having proveJ in past years more of a trouble tliau a pleasure to many of the less robust children and their escorts, Arrangements are being pushed on for a successful meeting on the 21th instant on the ocoasion of the presentation of the certificates to the members of tit, John's Ambulanco Association, We understand that in| addition to G5 town mombers who havo successfully passed their_oxamiuations, memJ.ber^_will ..bVpresent - from""iranKiujr Ituucf, Inglewood, Stratford, and liitham.

The Gape Times of Decernberlotli says: and knowledge to note how remarkably ignorant the Intelligence Department of the British army seem to be of the military dispositions of the Boers and of their peculiar tactics. A colonist with some knowledge of Boer ways would be able to give the Intelligence Department valuable information. But the British Oilico is selfsullieient, needing no help from outside. And so the British force may suffer more! than it has suffered, already from the ignorance of the best of all possible collectors of

information." The Good Die Young.—Unlike most popular sayings, this has very little truth in it. Experience every day proves that some at least af the good are spared to make the world brighter and better, and a mere pleasant place to live in. In fact, our experience is that good people, and good thiDgs generally, live the longest. If or example, consider the thousands of articles which have been widely advertised and are now forgotten. Why 1 Because they were bad. On the other hand, we have Holloway's Pills and Ointment, which have proved the faithful friend of poor humanity foi fifty years and more. Why? Because they are good. Of a truth, that which is good does not die, but lives for all time.—Advt. AN EPIDEMIC OF DIAEEHCEA.

Mr. A. Eauders, writing from Cocoanut Grove, lfla, says there has been quite an epidemic of diarrhuca there. He had a severe attack and was cured by four doses of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarahoea Remedy. He says he also recommended it to others and they say it is the best medicine they ever used.
