NOTICE. EXTRADITION. A Declaration was signed in London on the Slst of April, 1887, between the British and Belgian Govern- ments, for amending Article I. of the Extradition Tk- eaty of 20th May, 1876. The amended Artiole will henceforth read as follows :— " It is agreed that Her Britannic Majesty and his Majesty the King of the Belgians shall, on requisition made in their name by their respective Diplomatic Agents, deliver up to each other, reciprocally, any persons who, being accused or oonvicted as principals or accessories of the crimes hereinafter speoified, com- mitted within the territories of the requiring party shall be found within the territories of the other patty." " In no case, nor under any consideration whatever, shall the High Contracting Parties be bound to surrender their own subjects, whether by birth or naturalisation."

Most hfartily and truly do I wish you " A Merry Christmas" It is a happy time, and yet I feel that for many of ycu it is a sad time too. Many of you are spending it far away from home and friends ; your thoughts are travelling there, and you long to be with them. Many, too, are missing some kindly face, feeling the b'ank of a vacant chair. May the Lord of Christmas comfort you ! Cheap trains and conveyances of all kinds make this a grand time for family visiting. Shall - we go for a few moments back to the first Christmas Day, and to the two visits then paid to the Christ Child 1 The first visit was paid by working men, the bone and sinew of the world, represented by the shepherds. Brave, hardy men they were, used to rough it in all weathers, to keep weary night watches ( as you do) if needful, to protect the sheep at the risk of their lives. While keeping their night watch they saw a glorious light ; a bright angel gave them his message of love, " Behold I bring you glad tidings of great joy," and a Heavenly chorus sang the first Christmas carol, of which we have the words but not the tune, " Glory to God in the Highest; and on Earth Peace, Goodwill towards men." The shepherds were men of decision, action, and good common sense. Their faith was simple and strong ; it never entered their heads to doubt the good news. God had spoken, had sent the message, and it was true every word of it. At once they paid their visit to the Christ- Child ; they wondered and adored, and then spread the good news. The second visit was paid by representatives of science—" the wise men." Thus science and labour, hand in hand, were first at the manger in Bethlehem. As scripture is God's book, so is science His book too Geology His book in the rocks, astronomy His book in the heavens, and so on. God cannot contradict Himself, so His books cf inspiration and nature are sura to agree, and as science develops, more and more do men learn that it is so. These two visits have given ground for all Christmas visits since. Let the first to receive your visit be Christ Himself. Oh ! how many visit the devil on the very day when Christ came to set them free from sin, to forgive the past, and to set them right for the future. I do ask you to spend this Christmas right; it may < be your last. FROST I FROST I PREVENT COLD AND COUGHS! ROYAL IRISH WAREHOUSE ALL POLICE OFFICERS SHOULD REFER TO MESSRS.
