The Toronto Empire of Thursday last says :â€"John Holland, the propriâ€" ietor of the Drovers‘ Exchange hotel, was arraigned in Judge Morgan‘s court yesterday, charged with having kept a gambling house. He pleaded guilty to the charge and was sentenced to a. month‘s imprisonment and also to pay a fine of $50. . In passing sentence the judge said : "It is a most injurious thing for people to spend their time and money in gambling, more especialâ€" ly at that uninteresting gambling game of pokerâ€"a game that has neither thyme nor reason in it, and which does not require any skill, a game which originated in what the Yankees called ‘bluff,‘ a distinctively bluffing game, and an offensive game. It cannot be played without money like other reasâ€" onable games. People can sit down and play a friend‘y game of whist or other games, but this wretched game of poker is not worth playing, and is never played except for stakes of monâ€" ey ; therefore, it is a distinctively gambling game, and ought to be gupâ€" pressed. People who engage. in that kind of game must be taught that the law is against it, and that they will not be allowed to do that sort of thing." Mr. Jno. Fischer, the popular and enterprising butcher of our town, has again treated the public with the finest display of Xmas meats ever before exâ€" hibited in Waterloo County, His Christmas stock of this year even surâ€" passes that of the year before. He has always had the grandest display of meats as long as he has been in busiâ€" ness, and hopes to supply his numerâ€" @us customers with the choicest and best selected stock of meats and sausâ€" ages in the future. Mr. Fischer also thanks his many customers for their liberal patronage extended to him durâ€" ing the past twenty years and wishes them all a Merry Ymas and a Happy New Year, hoping to see their many smiling faces, with many new ones, at the "Old Reliable Stand." â€" _ On looking over Mr. Fischer‘s grand display one will notice, by cards fastâ€" ened on the meats that many of the animals were fed by the industrious yeomanry of the County, One steer, fed by Alexander Shoemaker, aged 1 year and 8 months; one heifer, fed by Allan Cressman, aged 2 years, weight, 1400 lbs; hogs fed by Jin Fischer; 1 calf fed by Isaac Groff, aged 7 months, dressed weight, 530 lbs; hogs fed by Thomas Short, Chrfst.
