r A numberot prominent citizens at- Ve'll the meeting of a Special Cum- 1 Wattle 1008] Board of Health iik night. Among those present were, Man Cochrane. County Councillor $0. Deans, and J. M. Schneider in. The feeling was very unanimous hhvor of the erection of apublie chattel! for the use of the Twin-City. Valuable information was received M various sources respecting the probable cost, and also regarding the _management ot an institution of this tind. Public pbattoim are scarce Institutions in the Province of Ontario, Infect, it is questionable if any such concern is in operation in the proviure It all. The indications are that the enterprising town of Berlin will be called upon to act as a pioneer corpor- ation in the establishment of an institution of this description in the province. This fact should not be at .ildiseonrtxging when we take into consideration the success that has been achieved by the erection ofeur House ot Industry and Refuge in which this County was the pioneer. At. though the Legislature of Ontario have passed an Act relating to the erection of public abattoirs, yet when this legislation is brought in practical use, we soon discover numerous amend. ments necessary to the proper working of such a scheme. It is with pride we recognize the enterprising and pro- gressive spirit manifested by our _ representative men in taking hold of - this matter, and endeavoring to ob- tlinthe requisite legislation in order to carry oat this design to perfection. CONSERVATIVE CONVENTION The Conservatives of North Water- loo met " Waterloo on Tuesday after- noon. There was a. fair attendance of delegates. Mr. J. M. Scully, who had filled the oiBee of President for the past nine years, declined having his nuns placed in nomination again for private reasons.

Farmers from every direction were in attendance with loads of grain Tan potatoes, _ and enacted sires" an exchanges of these commodities to their entire satisfaction. We noted a few of those present, viz. N. Bergey, Wilmer. T'p, who had a new kind of grain called Speltz, resembling barley, but when the hull was taken off pre- sented a kernel similar to wheat. We were Informed that this grain is pro- duced to a considerable extent in Ger- many, and is manufactured into tlour for baking purposes. The real German name of this cereal is Dinkol. It is ) claimed that it not only yields from 60 to 80 bushels of grain per acre, suit- able for feeding purposes, but that the straw is equal to hay. Among those present were: Mr. Tilman Bowman, Mr. E. Erb, J. Fry, Hiram Bowman, Harry Shepherd, Chas. W. Musscr, __ __. - .. !,,L.__ T mm, WWW”, - Chas. Wanklin, Wm. Brighton, J. Oberholtzer, A, M.

The weather was propitious, and the amount. of business done by way of buying, selling and exchanging per- fectly satisfactory. The Berlin Seed Fah- certainly promises to become an interesting annual occurence. Boon Clown-d tbo Gull-n: one" Ind Ill- Ordorly. and Shot Thu- In Cold Blood.

At St. John's Church on Sunday evening the service throughout was in song, with processional and reces- sional by the snrpllced choir. The or- ganist, Mr. Alton u. Heller presided at the organ, in his usual able manner. The rector preached a short though impressive sermon based on Romans 6: o, 10 and ll. In it he pointed out that a life of righteousness isthe life we want. Christ is the sun and substance of our religion. without Him there is no goodness in man. If we reach the o’i-l'th of any bad man‘s heart we will 'tiud something aside! for God. Though i he be corroded with tho dust and dross of sin, these can be brushed oft', and the image “our Saviour is left. Through Jesus Christ, is the only way this can be accomplished. To be a Christian means that we haves Master whom we can love, trust and follow where he leads.4 . OTHER EASTER SERVICES Special Easter services were held in many of the churches. Rev.
