It will probably go up again in the fall, but then cheap coal six months in the year should surely satisfy the. most exacting. -TIse Waterloo Band played at Vie- toria Rink, Guelph, last Friday night.

The men dpparently seemed to think the ladies had steeled themselves against matri. many. -The new postal cards are out, and they will, no doubt, be appreciated by those who use such form of communica- tion, as the space available for writing in increased by fully one- third. The design and paper is the same as the old, but the color has been changed from blue to black. The size is now three and a half by six inches, instead of three by five. This change in the size has been adopted by foreign coun- tries, and is to make the card uniform with that of the ordinary sealed letter. --At the present there is a plausible scamp, or perhaps a dozen of them, going through the country with a new racket, but worked on the old skin game principles. He make a contract with each farmer for his wheat, agree- ing to pay $1.00 a bushel delivered at the nearest station whenever he desires it. In order to bind the contract he pays a little down and agrees to pay the remainder when the wheat is delivered. He only approaches those who have large quantities. He gets the contracts and will hold them, never calling for the wheat, and will worry the farmer into giving him a nice little sum to "release the contract." The Rev. J. R. Newell of Port Dover, filled thelpulpit of the church of St. J olur the Evangelist, Berlin, last Sabbath. The Rev. John Shaw D.

One of the most pleasant social gatherings of the season took place at theresidence of 'Mr. and Mrs. UIoirman, King st., Monday evening, when the \Varer‘oo Methodist Choir and their friends entertained the Preston Metho- dist Choir. The Preston friends to the number of about forty arrived about nine o'eloclr, their bright faces beaming with expectancy, as only such can, who anticipate a right good time. The spacious drawing rooms were filled, there being upwards of one hundred present. After iall had been warmly welcomed, it was plainly apparent that all had come to have a good time and we think none were disappointed, judging by the many little congenial groups scattered throughout the house, who kept up an increasing flow of conversation, all of which indicated the right good will and fellowship that pervaded. Evidently conversation has not become a lost art, as so many are ready to maintain. Time slipped by quibkly, and methinks, Father Time borrows additional wings on occasions of this kind. Mr. F. W. Winter, Toronto, spent Monday in town. An impromptu programme was giv- en, and heartily enjoyed by all present. The programme consisted of piano solos and duets,a violin solo by Mr. Halstead, anthems by the combined choirs, IL male quartette, vocal solos by Miss Edgar of Preston and Miss Unger both of whom were enthusiastically encored. Between eleven and twelve o'eloek refreshments provided by the young ladies of Waterloo were served to which sulostantialjasties was done. After a hearty vote of thanks had been passed to the kind host and host.. ess for their cordial hospitality the gathering dispersed after singing "Auld Lang Syne," ond "God be with you till we meet again." “'ATERLOO SEPARATE SCHOOL.

Present: The Mayo:- in the chair, the Reeve, the Deputy Reeve, Messrs. Riteer, Kumpf, Diebel, Suggitt, Hogg, Davey and Roos, The Fire and Water Committee was requested to examine the coal oil humps on the outskirts of the town and report at the next meeting of the Council as to the desirability of continuing the same or of making changes. At the recent examination for com- mercial certificates, quite anumber of eandrdates presented themselves. If they are all successful, about one hun- dred and twenty-five certificates will be obtained. The results, however, will not be known for a few weeks. School was closed on Friday, Feb. 24th, owing to the meeting of the Waterloo County Teachers' Association. On their programme we noticed the name of Mr. Mueller, our teacher in modern languages and drawing. We are pleased to note the i'ecovery of Miss Minnie Walden who has not been attending school for the past two or three weeks, on account of illness. The meeting of the Literary and Musical society on Monday 6th inst., was one of the best attended of any held during this term. Mr w. E. Heist opened up the programme with a very humorous recitation which was for. lowed by a piano solo given by Mr. Leslie Staebler. In response to a hearty encore he favored the meeting with another selection which he rend- ered in his usual easy and attractive manner. Mr. w. Wavd, in his essay on "The Use of Ideals," contributed to the more substantial part of the pro- gramme. A dialogue, entitled "It Was Grand," was grand while in an- other called "The Tramp" the tramp, as usual, had to tramp. The sweet singing of Mrs. J. K. McCutcheon of Toronto met with a, very hearty encore to which she kindly responded. The concluding number was a song given by the Boys' Glee Club behind the curtain. The next meeting will be the last one held before Easter. It will be held in the school hall on Mom day, Mar. 20th., at 3 p. m. All who come will be cordially welcomed. Mr. R. Reid, teacherof the 2nd. division of the Berlin Model School, being absent on Tuesday 7th inst. Mr. J. F. Martinson took charge of his class. tion sale this spring, advertise it in the CHRONICLE. It reaches more farmers in Water- loo County than any other paper. Farmers say that the coming spring will be a great success for sugar mak- ing. It is well known to those who have engaged in that business that a good .season always follows a winter that furnishes abundance of cold weather. The maple sap is always sweetest after a period of intense frost, and furnishes a larger percentage of sugar. Not only that but the trees yield a larger quantity of sap after a cold winter than they do after a winter that has frequent thaws and:peri0ds of warm weather. Whyis the work done at the Queen's Photo Gallery pronounced by all to be the best in this part of the country? Simply because Mr. Huber is a superior artist and thorough- ly understands his business and also uses nothing but the finest material in the mar- ket. The very large increase of trade is an acknowledgment of the appreciation of his efforts to please. Special instruments for superior large family groups, choirs &c. Satisfaction guaranteed. P. S.

The new bridge israpidiy nearing completirm. The approach to the bridge from the town is fit for passage and the other side will be ready in a few days. Mr. C. Treisinger has the contract of repainting the entire bridge. A Farmers' Institute meeting will be held in Christmann’s hall next Monday evening. The Musical Society band and the Maennerchor have con- sented to take part in the evening's proceedings. No doubt, a large num- ber of the farmers in this vicinity will be present at the meeting. iHA class is beingurgnnized in town to take lessons in club swinging. Mr. Wilson of the Signet staff is to have charge of the class and under his instructions will, no doubt, make a succvss of it. 'ersonals.-yfiss, E.

Mr. Elias Eby's sale last week was well attended, consequently things sold well. About 31400 was realized. An English Bible Class has been formed in our Union S. S. We believe it will be well patronized as quite a number of young people in the village do not understand German. Mr. Elias Eby moved into the house formerly occupied by Mr. L. Ruth. We are pleased to see some farmers retiring to our village. Miss” Gilliland Fetumed home on Tuesday after a short visit to friends at Linwood. If there is anything in the world that tends to give a person a. case of the blues it is to find that the seeds he has lanted are worthless, and his seasoa's wot-i: has been thrown away. In purchasing seeds afarmer should remember that upon his investment relies the success of his year's operations. When buying a horse, or in fact anything that is needed around sfarm, the farmer can judge for himself, for he knows just exactly what he is purchasing. With seeds this is different, and the only way to insure suceess is to buy from a house whose reliability has never been questioned. To better guide the farmer in the important task of choosing what seeds he desires D. M. Ferry Kthr., the well-known seedsmsn of Windsor, Ont., have prepared an Illustrat- ed Annual for. 1893. It is something every farmer and every gardnar should have, and will be mailed free upon application to the above firm. Eran our own Co rr espondenee. Phlllpsburz School report for Jabs February. IV.

Peach Bloom contains nothing that can injure the skin. It is clear as water, and leaves no trace of the application one min- ute after the application. Peach Bloom differs'ifrom any known preparation, in that it cleanses the pores of the skin from injurious accumulations, im- parts health to the inner as well as to the outer cuticle, dissolving and removing Pimples, Blackheads, Liver Spots and Blem. ishes, and gradually brings about thattrans- parent state of the skin that makes a per- fect complexion. Peach Bloom is in demand ahead of all cheap preparations, because it has merit, and because it produces the results we claim for it.
