we think superior, to any found in vil-

Las been inspected by at least the ma-
jority of those living within ten or fif-
teen miles of Exeter, We know that if

reader of THE TIMES to call with their
friends at least once during December

cue the perishiug, restore the fallen and
keep unsullied front the destructive in-
flueuees of those whose energies are bent
in leaf iug astray the youth of our laud,
and making the houses where now dwelt
peace and tendert, the very vestibules of
hell. The above Society have striven
against great odds to bring within its
circle, and bind together in one loving
chain, the young, the middle aged and the
aged, to battle against the/, evils of strop
drink and its consequences, We are glad
to announce that scarcely a meeting is held
without adding new members. Great in-
terest is taken by the memoorehip to make
its sessions iuteresting and profitable, and
it is hoped it will grow so as to influence
the electorate of Exeter, that in due time
no man need seek a position in municipal
interests whose mind is not in full sym-
pathy with the prohibhion of all question-
able movements and the entire removal of
the liquor traffic with its train of wafflings

Deaths.
This week it is our p. li fns duty to
chronicle the death n two of Exeter's
citizens, the cad events taking place on
Satarriay last. Mrs. James Darling, who
- hadsbeen suffering for the past two years
of Heart disease, stied suddenly. She had
just arisen from bed, and while standing on
the floor, faintei and fell, and in a few
moments Axpired. Deceased was of a very
quiet, ye amiable disposition, and was
highly esteemed by many friends, as was
evidenced by the comparatively large at-
tendance at the obsequies. She leaves to
mourn their loss a husband, son and
daughter, who have the sympathy of the
community.
Mr. James Ferguson, utter much suffer-
ing, also passed from this mortal coil early
Saturday morning. He was a victim of
consumption and for two years had been
in declining health. Up to a couple of
months ago he worked with Mr Bobier,
until he became so low that he was com-
pelled to take his bed. Deceased has been
a resident of Exeter for many years, at one
time being in the grocery business. He
was held in esteem, and the young wife
and family have the heartfelt sympathy of
all in their loss of an affectionate husband
and father. He was a member of the
Orange fraternity, under the rites of which
order his remains were laid at rest on
Tuesday, and from which Society the
widow receives $1,000 on an insurance
policy.

Presentation, •
On Friday evening last a very pleasing
event occurred at the residence of Mr.
H. E, Hueston, during the course of which
the choir of the lain-st Methodist Church
took occasion to express their regret at the
removal from their midst of one of their
members in the person of Mr. W. E Gundy,
After a short practice in the Church the
choir repaired to Mr. Hueston's, where
they found a bountiful spread of oysters
and other delicacies awaiting them, which
were disposed of with much merrymaking
and enjoyment. During the course of the
evening the leader, Mr. Ross, and Mr.
-Browning, on behalf of the choir, present-
ed Mr. Guncly with a handsomely bound
Oxford Bible and the following address :
Mn. W. E. GIINDY, Respected Friend,—
The members of the Main Street Methodist
Church choir deeply regret that you are about
to take your departure from our midst. Your
kind disposition, genial manner and the untir-
ing zeal with which you. labored for the best
interests of our choir, have won for you a very
warm place in each of our hearts. You have
materially helped us in the musical department
f our Church -work, and we assure you that
your services havebeen highly appreciated, not
only by the choir, but by all who beard the
sound of your voice. We are conscious of the
fact that our choir sustains a heavy loss by
your removal, but wo hope that in your future
home your musical talents will not be buried,
but exert a 4i11 greater influence for good.
We pray you to accept this Bible as a slight
token of our esteem, assuring you that we will
ever cherish pleasant memories of the happy
hours we enjoyed in your company, and praying
that the blessing of Heaven may ever attend
you.
Signed -fon behalf on the choir,
D. A. Ross, Leader.
Exeter,1 18

Mr. Gundy in a few words expressed his
appreciation of the handsome present and
very flattering address'whichhad just been
presented to him, and assured them that
nothing but the most pleasant memories of
the'Main-st. choir would attend him to his
new home.
On Sunday afternoon Mr. Gundy's Bible
Class presented him a large photograph of

of their regret at his removal.

The libel suit of W. G.Glenn of St,llfarys

something over $200.

The constant drop of water wears away
the hardest atone ; the constant gnaw of

At a meeting of the Council last evening
among other things, Mr. W. J. Bissett was
appointed Road. Commissioner, at a salary
of $L50 per day, while on duty. He is to
inspect work free of charge. Instructions
were given to have the necessary amount
of gravel put on the town hall grounds.
While exercising a yearling colt on
Monday, Mr. W. G. Bissett met with a
mishap. Having it attached to a cutter it
was driving nicely until a bare spot in
the road was reached, when, becoming
frightened, it gently relieved the cutter of
the dash, besides otherwise damaging it.
The market building .is now on the town

Seaforth Expositor : "Mr. Wm. White
has purchased from Mr. Alex. Ault the
small residence on Goderich street for $400.
We are glad to see Mr. White becoming a
property owner in town, hut there is no
use having the cage unless one has the
bird to put in it.' Mr. White formerly
lived in Exeter.
Will it pay to advertise in family papers?
It will pay if you do a legitimate, clean,
square -out business; because family yapets
go directly into people's homes—are read
by all the family—are read all through by
people who believe in them more than in
any other papers they read and are, there
fere, more influenced by advertisements
seen in them. The TsarEs is a family
paper.
On the 9th inst. the marriage of Mise
Ellen Bishop, daughter of Arch. Bishop,
Esq., M.P.P., to Mr. John Rowcliffe, of
Usborne, took place. The knot was tied
by Rev. C. Fletcher, of the Thames Road
Presbyterian Church, in the presence of a
few friends. The young couple at once
took up their residence on the Elder farm
near Rodgerville, recently purchased by
Mr. Rowcliffe.
Recently, it will be remembered, a Goy-
ernment Inspector of milk was in town
and procuring samples from the vendors,
sent them to the chief government analyst.
With samples taken from other towns, the
milk has been analysed and a report made
and published, from which we learn that
the milk Bold in Exeter, at the time the
Inspector was here has been pronounced
"Genuine," and containing a good per
tentage of "Solids." The samples were
taken from J. McInnes, W. Dearing and
R. Davis.
At the last meeting of the East Luther
township Council a notice of motion was
given to the effect that in future the old
method of performing statue labor will
be done awayand 60cen
with, is per day
accepted as an equivalent for a day's
work. This will be levied on all the
ratable property in the township. This
is certainly a move in the rightdirection,
as the manner in which statute labor• is
performed in many townships besides
Luther is somewhat of a farce.

At the Woodstock aeeizes the celebrated
case of Roddy vs. Leah was settled. To is
r importance a vaso of considerable intpo to tomem-
bers of secret beueficial societies. It was
shown in evidence that Samuel Leah, vt ho
died in July, 1891, had an insurance upon
his life of $1,000 in the order of Chosen
Friends, which was made payable to his
*wife. Leah died, however, before he was
married, but it was clearly shown in evi-
deuce that he was engaged to the plaintiff,
Margaret Roddy, and that when he took
the policy it was with the understanding
that the insurance was for her benefit.
The court foundupon the evidence in favor
of the plaintiff, but reserved judgment. on
on points of law. The secretary paid the
amount of the premium into court, and
allowed the prospective bride and her in-
tended brother-in-law, James Leah, to
contest as to who is entitled to the money.
He Sold Not, Neither Did He Vote,
A rather practical joke was worked .upon
an elector in Usborne on Thursday last.
He was a Trow man, and would have cast
his ballot in hie favor. The elector has a
horse which he is very desirous of selling,
and was willing to do almost anything to
effect a sale. The evening previous to the
election the elector received a note to be.in
Exeter with his horse early in the morning.
He was on hand, together with his son,
who also had a vote, but just in time to
fiud the buyer gone ; a note, however, was
left to the effect that he could be seen at
Mt. Cannel. The elector and sun pro-
ceeded to Mt. Carmel, and reached there
to find that the buyer had just left for
Parkhill. They were requested to follow;
and they did, but with similar success to
that w,liich they ,met all along the line.
They returned home in the evening, about
six o'clock, having neither sold the horses
nor voted, but had the pleasure. however,"
of a 46 -mile drive.
Village Council.
The village Council met on Saturday
evg. last at the call of the reeve. All
present, Minutes of previous meeting
read and signed. The attendance of citi-
zens was very large, and seemingly much
interest was taken in the meeting. The
reeve explained that he had been serve
with an injunction, restraining Council
from moving market building, and desired
to obtain the feeling of the Council in the
matter. After considerable deliberation
in which there were many animated dis-
cussions and hot argument, it was moved
by Carling and Christie that the injunction
be fyled.—Carried. It was further moved
by Christie and Carling, that Mr. Treble,
who had also been served with a similar
document, be instructed to proceed with
the work ; that the Council would stand
