Mr. Hale, the Boston Herald savs, lost some $50,000 through hia investment in the patent for manufacturing wood fibre, invented by P. H. Holmes of Gardiner. The machine, it seems, did not work well at first and the stock of the com pany depreciated to a large degree. Improve ments have now been made on the machine, which it is thought will render it valuable. The Salvation Army paraded the streets last night and inflicted several of its old threadbare songs upon the people. We ad vise the Army, if it wishes to flourish, to learn some new tunes.

The river St. Croix is becoming noted for its salmon fishing. -The fish, varying in weight from six to twenty-five pounds, are being taken almost daily from its waters. Several months since, three gentlemen bought the right to fish for salmon from the Bruns wick side of the river from the Dominion Government. The privilege it secured to them for several years. These gentlemen use the part in rotation. On Saturday even ing last C. B. Whidden, editor of the Calais Tim s, took two, one weigh ing eleven pounds, the other fifteen pounds; one of the other parties Monday morning killed two. The salmon are all taken with a fly hook. G.

When you see a trader advertis ing that he can sell goods at a less price than his competitors because he has small expense*, the question natunilly arises, what do his small expenses mean His small expenses mean: First—Small stock. Second—Few clerks, or none. Third—Small business. Consequently he buys his goods in small lots and pays large profits on them, and his customers have got to pay a profit on the large profit he has already paid. A one-horse power engine will not do the work of a twenty-horse power engine, while it takes more fuel to run the lurger engine than it does the smaller, the proportion ate expense is much less. The day of small business and large profits is past. The large business, large stock and small profits are what the public demands.—The Fence Cor ner Philosopher. That is what we believe in, and we are prepared to give the public the benefit we derive in buying our goods from first hands in large quantities. The public can rely on always finding a good article at a low price at our store. We believe that we cannot afford to sell a poor article at any price. We also wish to say that we have an unusually choice stock of seasonable goods in all departments, which we are pre pared to sell at a small profit. CHAS. H.
