DEAR SIIt,-I notice frequent refer- ences in your columns to the. new Peat Fuel'I''fnduatry, and with your permission I would like tc say a few words to °the residents of Lucknoty and surrounding country. I ani informed that the patentee is urging the people of Wingham and Lucknow to take hold of this thing. There is a big bog near Whitechurch, part of which is situated on my farm, con_ taining many thousand tons of this article. A sample of it has been tontiutt. i,UCgNOW (A TARi°, FRIDAY. APRIL 7th) 1899. and pray that you may be long spared to enjoy the many blessings promised in this word of God. May its precepts guide you and its promises cheer you along through the journey of life, and may the songs of Zion contained in this hook of praise, ever bring you nearer to God, and cause your mem- ory once again to return to the happy hours when we have mingled our voices together in East Ashfield church, in praise to flim who died for us.

Now here is a chance for enterprising men. 1 n the first place I would recommend that a deputation be sent out in the spring to see the deposit and decide if there is enough of it to warrant the enterprise. If there is, then ascertain what it will cost per ton to manufacture and plass' the product on cars at Whitechurch. • .nd lastly ascertain if the plant could he removed to another locality, when the deposit should be all utilized, if such should be the case. These points decided it should be all plain sailing. This is an enterprise which would be teorthy of Lucknow. here is an opportunity to secure a fuel almost equal to coal. A3 a labor producing Enterprise it will be a success, provid- ing remunerative employment for quite a number of hands. This deposit has the advantage of being quite close to the railway, being only 100 rods distance in a direct line 11 miles froiu Whitechurch station.

In the morning the pastor preached a special sermon to the Sun- day school children, and the front of the church was nicely decorated with beautiful flowers, while ir, the after- noon a splended prograunme was rendered by the school children and others. In the evening a very fine song service was given by the splendid choir of the church, and the building was filled to the doors with an ap- preciative audience. The duet by the Misses Leila Berry and M ass Peart, and tho quartette by R. Hughes, J. Smith and the Messrs. Peart and Berry were; exceptionally well rendered and much _appreciated. The collections at all the services were in aid of the Sunday school funds. Coming Coming!

The statistical position of cheese in th.: British market is the strongest for a number of years and this is owing to the light snake last season and the prices being low stimulating the consumption. It is estimated that at the present consumptive demand, there will be a shortage of over 200,000 boxes of what will he required to supply the _market until the new cheese comes in. The large make of cheese from 1894 to 1897 resulted in a great number of boxes having to be carried over from year to year causing a lowering of prices. Last season there was a light make and prices stimulated, consumption cleaning the market not only of last season's cheese but also the surplus stock. So with these facts before us we may look forward for good prices for the coming season. am>3 1tritish America Insurance Co..

Priees on Hardware Advancing Owing to .the scarcity of raw material everything of a metal character ia advancieg in price. During the short period of four months, many lines have appreciated from 75c to 100 per cent. in value. Wire nails that were last year sold at Wire fencing has advanced from $2.15 tos,$3.15 per coil. Gas pipe, White Leads Coal Oil, and Turpentine have all taken a sharp stride upward, and from present indications are likely to remain so for an indefinite period. Ileretofore, prices have been so low that the manufacturers were becoming disheartened, and many of them, in fact, closed down, while others have departed from old lines into Trusts and Corporations in order to ckrtail expeeses. Since the break out of the Spanish-American war, the great powers of Europe have been strength- ening their defences _on every hand, employing thouaands of men, and using tons upon tons of material. Our American friends to the south, in their struggle for supremecy in the Phillipines, are playing no small part in diverting men from their usual vocations in the iron industry, and are consumieg a considerable amount of material which is needed for ordinary purposes, and this, of course, increases cost to producers. It will 'be nsany years before prices will again be 144 low as they were. The East Side Won.
