He pro fesses to know a great deal more than he really does oh some subjects on which he spoalts. ; For instance, on Sunday evening he said some thing to the effect that" ho knew that my communication, which up- ppai.fed in the lust issue of the Ei/ki: Pru-is.s, was written ,by n feiimle. It must have been anoOior freak of his imagination which in duced him to) say so, us he ia en tirely mistaken. Ho must, and doc.-:, draw considerably-on his im agination when he speaks of the way in which the skating rink is conducted. I might buy that I think the proprietors and managers of tho rink are just as decent and rcf'P.ectubla aa Mr. Hobbs, and con duct themselves with as much decorum. . - .

I TO FAItMEBS AND KVERiBODT ELSE; Why is Pringle's jewfillerjf store in Guelph tho bost place to'deal atl Becauso nil tho watch, clock and jewellery repairing is cither done by himself, or under his personal supervision. He being a first-class workman in alj the branches, and having the greatest interest in keep ing bis customers, it follows that all tbo work' will bo done well. Every job which comes into the shop is examined by him before it is taken away. You can buy watches and clocks cheaper thero than anywhere else, because Pringle having bought from Thos. Russell & Son for cash the whole of their stock in Guelph, and. got it cheap, he can afford to sell cheap. All stock bought by him in future will'bo.bought for cash. Merchants nnd traders know that this is a "great advantage. Pringle has no connection with the firm of Russell & Son, any more than he is-Btill their authorized agent for the Russell watch, which is ac knowledged to be the best watch made. G. D. Pringle has also been established as'agent for the Wal- tham and Elgin American watches, and a full line of them, from the lightest to the heavy six-ounce case, will be kept on hand. Remember that all those watches aro now bought entirely for casjh, and there fore can and will bo sold by him cheaper than they can bo got- any where else..
