      SOCIAL EVENT-One of those happy events which will not soon be forgotten took place last Sunday evening at the residence of Mr. John Schneller. It being the 64th birthday of Mr.Schneller his three sons and a few of his many friends assembled and had a right, jolly, good time. Mr. Schneller is one of the old pioneers of Waterloo Township. He took possession of the farm on which he dwells 42 years ago when it was not much less than a big forest. With persevering industry he filled the denizens of the forest and has at present one of the finest farms in the township. By his frugality and industrious habits he has made such progress that a few years ago he bought another splendid farm now worked by his oldest son George. After partaking of those things which strengthen the inner man the crowd dispersed hoping that Mr. Schneller may long be spared yet to enjoy good health.
