The Grand Lecturer of the Patrons of Industry, Mr. Robinson, lectured to a fair attendance in the town hall on Monday evg. on the advantages of beiug aPatron. The lecture was somewhat biased, which, in a measure, impaired ite many interest. ing features. Had the speaker dealt more liberally with the mercantile interests he would have courted the favor of many whom he impressed adversely. On Monday evg , Feb. 29, 1892, between the hours of 8 and 10 o'clock the lamp be- longing to Royal Templars of Temgerance was stolen and carried from its place at the foot 'of the stairs leading into Fanson's Hall.

Word was received in Exeter on Friday of the death of Mr. Oaten Willis, at the hospital in London. Ile had been visiting Mr. Wm. Hawkshaw and was taken so ill that it was necessary for him to go to the hospital for treatment Mr. Willis was well and favorably known in this section, having some years ago ran the stage be- tween Exeter and St. Marys. Of late years he had been living in Manitoba and last fall came to Ontario to visit his family who live in St. Marys. Mr. 1). Johns on Monday lost another of hie Beagle hounds. He had fed the doge their dinner, and shortly afterwards one of them, a Beadle hound, was noticed to act strangely. Upon examination it was found that a fish bone had got into its throat, and before a veterinary could render any assistance the dog died. It will be remembered that some time ago Mr. Johns purchased, at a big figure, a pair of Beagle hounds, and that recently he lost one while hunting in the swamp. Now they have both gone, and Mr. J. is considerable of a loser. There died in Exeter North on the let inst., William. A. Brooks; in his 21th year. Deceased was son of Mr. William Brooks and had been ill of consumption,contracted by a severe cold two years ago. He was at one time an employee of this offiee, hut latterly had been employed as stenographer in Toronto. He was a clever young man studious and persevering, and his demise, at so early and useful an age, is to be re - netted. Fe had been at home the past year, and despite every effort to restore his health, the fell disease has accomplished its work. The remains will be interred in the Exeter cemetery to -day (Thursday) at 2 o'clock, License Statistics, The following facts are taken from tho report 'nf the Provincial Treasurer, for 1891„ just issued : Hotel Licenses issued in 1';ast Huron, 24; South Huron, 39; West Hurru,;40; 6 shop licenses were issued, against 11 in 1889, and 38 in 1874.

The popularity of this Company is en the increase, and the appreciation shown them so far has been most spontan- eous. The solo singing by Miss Emma Wells was beyond criticism, and in her four-vcieed selections she is a marvel; first a baritone, then a soprano to a tenor, fin- ishing with a heavy alto. As a pianist she has no superiors. Mies Jennie Ray also proved a fayorite in the many songs she sang.all of which were given with a hearti- ness that was infectious. T. H. Marks, the comedian, was a worthy factor in the entertainment, and succeeded admirably in keeping the audience in roars of laughter. The other members of the Company were equally successful in their parts, and there has neber been a concert given here that has pleased the people more. The Co. re- main in Exeter until the evg. of the 7th. es .as, e Richard Pickard & Son have justopen- ed up and passed into stock a large con- signment of gents' felt hate in softs, stiffs and fedoras.

It might have been noticed in Iast week's Toms, an item concerning la pupil of the College having been poisoned from. eating a banana The pupil was Miss Pinch, and she narrowly escaped the term- inating effects. It is thought that a tarantula had poisoned the banana and by Miss Pinch eating it, the poison was trans- mitted to her system. Aler lips first gave evidence, the swelling continuing to other parts of her body, and but for the timely assistance of a physician, the poison would soon have permeated the system beyond checking. As it is Miss Piuch ie recover- ing nicely and expects to return to College this week.—Mrs, ,Tames Willie on Satur- day last went to Goderich to attend the funeral of her father, Edward Robertson, who died in Sarnia on Friday last from a paralytic stroke.
