The handsome village is without a vacant store or house. The clean streets, tidy lawns, neat residences and well ordered business houses are well designed to créate a favorable mpressson on the minds of visitors, casual or otherwise; while the cordiality of her citizens and the beauty of her fair daughters are characteristics for which Chelsea has long been famous.

It is by no naeans derogatory to the peach-and-lily fairies themselves. They are all right, and worthy of admiration. Our representative found Editor Allison, oi the Herald, in his office, wading to the chain in business. The Herald's quarters are exceptionally neat anc convenient and well stocked with presses and material. lts proprietoi merits the prosperity he is enjoying.'
