SENSIBLE ADVICE FOR BICYCLISTS - Riders who like to save their wheels as much as possible, will do well to re- member that when climbing steep hills and feeling themselves to be under a severe strain, the wheel is also being sorely tried. The amount) of twist put upon the rear section of a bicycle in climbing is little appreciated. Not only do the rear forks and chain feel it, but as the wheel turns, different groups of spokes come. in for a powerful strain. On steep hills it is a little more sensi- ble to pocket pride and walk than it is to run the risk of injury to self and bicycle by riding up. CLOSE SEASON FOR BASS --It ap- pears that we were in error as to elcse season for bass in our issue of a few weeks ago.

Twelve years ago they competed at a tournament here and won a fine organ given by Mr. W. Doherty, The instrument was subse- quently nrffied off, two hundred dollars being realized, and it still preserves that fine tone for which W. D's, organs are famous on two continents. The Band is managed by the Waterloo Musical Society and not a little of the reputation it has won is due to the care exercised in the selection of mat- erial. The boys are put into training when in short pants and when midway in their teens are allowed to become full fladged members. And they stay long, some twenty years. P. H. Recs, who rolls the kettle drum, has done so for sixteen years, while N. Keller, the leader, has been in charge an al. most equally lengthy period. Opening of' the New Park Pavilion. THE W. M. S.

It was with feelings of profound regret that the people of Wellesley heard of the sudden and tragic death of their old fellow citizen, Mr. Henry Doeiing. Mr. Doering spent the earlier years of bis lite in this township, and was for many years one of her muni- cipal councillors and discharged the duties thereby devolving upon him in a manner creditable to himself and very satisfactory to those who elected him, in fact to the township generally. m was a. very diligent, hard work- ing man, and leaves as the fruit oi his industry and labor one of the lariteat and best appointed farms in the county of Perth, comprising as it does some 300 acres of the choicest land in the county, and excellent fuan buildings, and, as he informed your correspondent some time ago, entirely tree of incumbrance. He was a. public spirited man and will be much missed in the community, and more especially by his family. His wife preceded him onlya few months; ago. He leaves four sons and four daughters. A. Boomer, Esq, of Linwood, is the only survivor of those who legislated in the early fifties His associates, John Hawk, John nger, J7illiam Hastings, George Doerr and now Henry Doeringlhave all gone overto the silent majority, Mr. Doering was an ardent Refor- mer and gave his party a steady and nnfrmohing support. He at one time contested North Perth for the Load Legislature, but failed of election. In religion he had some years ago espoused the doctrines of Swedenburg and in this, as in other matters, he was very earnest and seemed fully to believe the doctrines of that denomination, and contended very earnestly for its truths, bat this was characteristic of the man. He was one that believed that whatsoever his hand found to do should be done with his might. Death of Henry Doering of Milver ton. SPANISH-AM ERICAN WAR (From our Linwood Correspondent.)
