Waterloo. Tho good pcoplo of this community are not satisfied with a Christmas tree, but havo made all necessary arrangements for an oyster supper at the school 'house, on New Year's evening.

W. L. Brown came into the Citien oflico on Christmas day, with a box of "prepared weeds," and set 'em up to the boys. He said it was a girl, the first baby on the programme, and as he didn't want tho boys bothering him, you know, ho thought he would get the start. Brown was happy as a clam at high tide.

Mother and child doing well. The committee having in charge the Rural Christmas entertainment, will accept our thanks for an abundant supply of good things, and if the folks up in Rural had as much enjoyment at their entertainment as we had over the delicaeies sent us, they must wish for Christmas to come every week. We know you had a merry Christmas; we wish you a happy New Year. Li. W.

Leach, one of our best fruit tree men, has a way of preventing the rabbits from knawing his young fruit trees during the winter season, which is easy to apply and of a very cheap character. His method is to take a bar of common soap and rub it on the stem of the young tree from the ground up as high as is necessary. It the soap should be cold and hard, it may be warmed by holding it near the fire a few minutes. Mr. Leach informs us that he has found this a very successful way prevent injury -to his trees.

Of course, it it should rain much, it might require a second appli cation, but the time required to do this is not near so much as it would take to wrap them with rags or paper, the usual way. MERRY CHRISTMAS. The friends of the little folks began in due time to make arrangements for making them happy at Christmas time. First one way was thought of, and then another, and it was finally settled to have, instead of a tree or ship, an arch. This was tastefully decorated with the numerous beautiful gifts, which had been brought there by- the parents and friends to gladden the hearts of the little ones.

At an early hour the crowd began to gather, and long before the time for the exercises to open, the hall was fairly packed. jammed and crammed, many scarcely having standing room. As to the number present, we can make no estimate. When the time came, the exercises were opened with music by the band, followed by prayer by Rev. G.

II. Smith after this the choir sang an anthem, then came a delightful Christmas song by the little folks, which received the applause of tc house. This ended the preliminary tlie distribution of gilts began. There were so many of them, and the house was so densely crowded, that it made the work of delivering the presents qnite tedious, but it was finished in due time, in the midst of much fun and merriment.
