On the face is the the head of King George. The reverse side has the picture of Britannia, which has not changed much in all the 135 intervening years since 1797, together with the year in which it was coined. It was quite a remarkable coin and we were pleased to see it. Last week’s Specstator had more to say of old coins, having seen another of the kind mentioned above, and if this thing keeps up it is possible they are more common than at first sup- posed. Another coin shown the Spec- tator is a United States half dollar dater 1833, which is cast in bass, and an English farthilm of 1799. While on the subject, we might mention that the editor of the Chron- icle has in his possession a United States coin of 1809, which diflers from the 1833 mint in that instead of being made of brass it is apparently a silver coin. We do not know if it has any. particular value attached, but keep it just for the novelty. The 1809 coin in our possession is well made, has the gpicture of Columbia on the front, with the thirteen stars representing the thirteen original States and the year. On the reverse is the American eagle, the shield, the words United States of America above the E. Pluribus Unum, and the amount, 50 cents. Instead of the milled edge of these days the coin is “Fifty cents or half a dollar” imprinted in the sides. evidently to prevent sweat- MAPLEWOOD CEMETERY HELD ANNUAL MEETING The annualâ€"fleeting of Maplewood cemetery was held in Varney Orange Hall on Wednesday, January 27, 1932, a large number present.

A proof of the efficiency of the man- ner in which the act is enforced is the fact that there are very few counplaints. Quebec has decided to com Ontario's mothers’ allowance act, a further proof of its efficiency. Discussed by Chairman There have been requests that we act be extended to widows with one child, but the Government has never seen its way clear to undertake this additional expense. The province is now paying out mo- thers’ allowances at the rate of nearly $2,500,000 a year. in the province of Ontario and there is no other country in the world taking so much care of its poor people," Dr. Jamieson said.
