Your correspondent took compassion on them, and—" Dug." When is that wedding going to take place, of which we have heard so much the past year ? We suppose it will not take place till the birds go nest hunting in the spring- Nothing like joining the mutual improve" meut association when you aro young—all old maids aro excluded. Mr. K. Bishop and Mr. E. Patterson have been doing an extensive business in exporting all kinds of fowl for tho past two weeks, which has had the effect of putting up prices beyond the roach of poor persons, and many tables of the above class have gone without the customary goose or turkey this C hristmas.Tho Christmas treo he'd in the C M. church last Friday evening, for tho .Sabbath school children of that church, was attended by about 400 people, who were delighted wit; the ovening's entertainment, in particular the children and teachers, who received a number of very handsomo presents off the treo. Amongst tho arrivals hero on Christmas wo noticed Mr. Thomas McFaul and his sons Ed., Harry and Fred, and Miss Morley, Buffalo; John and Phillip Abbott, E. Kirby, A. Rowland, A.

Your correspondent attended tho closing examinations at tho public school on Friday last, and was much pleased with the prompt manner in which the pupils answered tho questions in their different lessons, which reflects much credit 011 their teach" ers. Wo are sorry to say that very few parents wore in attendance. If parents would show more interest in examinations and school matters in general, it would encour age both teachers and pupils. Dikb.—At her residenco, Niagara, on Christmas day, Ann Dorothea Ball, relict of the lato Rev. Thomaj Creen, former pastor of St. Mark's church (this place), in the 83rd year of her age. Deceased lady was born in j Tborold, Ont., Sept. 13, 1799, and was mar- ' ried on Christmas day, 181!4, and bus been a much respected resident of this place up to j the time of ber death. Bhe had been a widow for nineteen years. Tho funeral took ! place on Wednesday last to St. Mark's j church, and was vei y largely attended. Tho Niaoaiia County News is tho most popular paper coming into Niagara, and is j anxiously looked for and read by all every week, with the exception of a few whose toes have been trod on- but who may be seen each wook slyly petring over tho shoul der of some subscriber as ho reads his Newt; i Their trembling limbs and flutt ring eyelids betray them, and their looks say, as plain as 1 words, " I wonder if they've got anything in about me this week 1" Behave yourselves, boy*, and the Ncwa will never irritato your ! sore spots. The different returning officers of the j town refused the nomination of Mr. F. A. B Clench, on the ground of his being a County Clerk. This has been a put up job, as the office held by him does not disqualify him from holding the office of Mayor or Common Councilor, but it does for the jiosition of Reeve. The case has been dccided in Whitby, where the County Clerk of Ontario was elected, and Chief Justice Robinson and Judge McLean, held he was not disqualified. Mr. Clench holds a letUr from the late Chief Justice Harrison before bis election to the 1 bench, that a County Cle k was strictly qualified. F. M. Whitelaw and Win.

A marry Christmas to you and your many readers; hoping that there are many mora in store for you. Cutters and fast horses are at a discount just now; those anticipated pleasure visits consist in hope deferred—unless wheels are substituted. Rev. Mr. Whitney, in the employ of tho Prohibition Temperance league, preached in the brick church yesterday (Sabbath) at 11 A. M. It would have been a pure, peaoeable sermon had ho left out some criticism# on other churches. In the evening he delivered a temperanco lecture iu tho M. E. church. I think that I only express public opinion when I say that temperance is his stionghohl, for his lecture was certainly ono of the best ov r delivered in our village. It was replete with sound urgument and sound common sense; for, when wo lay aside our prejudices and interest in dol'ais and conts, wo may defy tho man to point out tho first good-grow iug from tho traffic or its use; while it would take volume upon volume, yes, weigh them out by tho ton, to Bet forth t'lo wrongs, tho misery, tho wretchedness, murders, and its thousand horrors following iu its wake, saying nothing of the rivers of bitter tears shed by tho alllicted. I doubt whether I say too much; but the heart must be beyond feeling that can deliberately deal out to his follow nmn the poisonous drugs in all kinds of liipior now iu use. Our pastor, Rov. W. B. Pickard, gave us a very instructive discourse last Sabbath on tho educational interests of tho church. At his out appointment on tho Coomor Itoad ho was kindly remembered by way of Christmas presents—a nice album and uot the fattod ouil' but a nice plump chicken. Whether that means a chicken pie this deponent sayetli not. At Charlottevillo ho was romeinbored by tho gift of a Hue 'bracket lump.' Perhaps tho donors had in wind "that he should so let his light shine; that others seeing his good work" might bo led to grasp tho true rlchos of tho gospel of God. Our Catholio church held tholr usual Christmas service in their now church Bul>- bath evening. .Mr. Peter Khaver, an old resident now some eighty live years old, has boeu quite ill during tho past week, but at this writing is some bettor.

Mr. Letnoro Statten from Saginaw, Mich., is vi»i ing friends in this locality. Mr. Dexter Moore from Niagara Falls is visiting his parents in this village. The'( omit'is bidding us a final adieu— the sun, moon and stars aro kept within their proper sphere by an over ruling power and the scribe's jott ngs aro on their way to the press to be inflicted upon the ronding public.
