Bowman of Berlin in which he touches upon military matters in the Old Country. Speaking of the militia there he says that the Canadian Tommy Athkins is more intelligent than his English brother. Their bands, he says, would not compare very favor- ably with the 29th battalion band and the only one he heard that would was the 66th Warwiekslnre, a regular mili, tary organization. He considers that _ the regular' oifieers attached to the Royal Canadian Regiment at London, One, are as fine and clever a lot of otf1cers as are the officers attached to the regular corps in England.

Another wagonjust like it will be put on as soon as completed by the manufacturer, Mr. J. R. Kaufman. These wagons are beauties and unequalled by any in this part of the country. We are gladto know that Mr. Duering's enterprise is appreciated by the public and that his business has grown to such an extent that he has found it necessary to put three delivery wagons on the road on Saturdays in order to accommodate the demands of his increasing trade. The best of meat can always be secured at the City Meat Market. He has now on hand a large stock of newly cured hams, and Mr. Duering informs us that he has enough of stall fed cattle to supply the very best quality of beef until the end of July.

Rriclu'r t, Dieliel last weck has been a nragmfi', cent success so far. All day Friday and Saturday the Great Corner Store was thronged with eager customers and the clerks were verv glad when Sunday intervened to give them a well-earned rest. The great sale will continue throughout this month. The energetic proprietors have found that, the present store is too small for their increasing business and will extend it towards the rear a distanee of thit-ty-five feet, tak- ing in the present waremoms. The growth of their business is due to pluck and energy, and to a judicious use o? printer’s ink. Rev. Geo. F. Salton of the Central Methodist Church, Stratfurd, occupied the pulpit of the Waterloo Methodist Church last Sunday evening and preached a very practical sermon on the duty of Christian to perform humble services. Great preparations are being made in Montreal for the approaching con- vention of Christian Endeavorers.

The Rev. J. Thomson of Ayr, gave an amusing and instructive ad- dress on "Music." Next in order came the Consecration service, which includ- ed the Roll call of societies, and which was conducted by the Rev. J. S. Harr die. This was the most interesting part, since nearly all the societies responded in their own way when called upon. The C. E. closing Hymn was then sung, followed by the C. E. benediction. programme. Tea was served by the Hespeler societies in the basement of the Metho- dist church, and lunch at the close of the evening session.
