Wotle, secretary of the bar bateau, report that it is impossible to get farm laborers, Mr. Smith says he many men in the city looking for work, but they will not go out of the city even when six months' steady work is offered there. preferring to take chances of getting odd jells around the city, and assistance for their families when they havo uowork. '; Landlord and Tenant. At the last session of the Ontario Legis- lature an amendment was made to the Landlord and Tenaut Act, which is not generally known. By the new enactment any tenant falling into arrears for rent with the exception of the first month's liability, leaves himself open to be seized, and no goods or chattels which he may possess, are exempi from seizure. Every. t i g goes. Before this amendment the ra res :ry articles, such as a stove, six ci t' repersonal clothing, etc„ could not be seized for rent, but now all that is changed and the elan who falls behind is open to. have seized and sold every article of :personal property which he may be posses- eed of.

As an indication of the improverneut in the financial condition of QM' people in and about town, the Division Court has lied little or no business for months. The sympathy of their many Mende is with Alt, and Mrs. T. B. Carling in the loss of their infant daughter Freda 'Verity. The funeral took place on Monday, Rev. N, H.

The Templar, published at Hamilton, by W. W. Buchauan, naw cornea as a weekly. The first two issues contain an expose of the Ontario license system, and sets forth 10 glaring and uncontradicted terns the iniquitous syetena petalled. by the Govern- ment. On Friday last a game of hese ball was played between the Staffs and Cromarty teams at the latter place. The game was a very exciting one and could well be classed with the professional. Nine innings were played, at the close of which the score stood a-3 iu favor of Stafl'tt. The Exeter Woollen Mills have just completed barge repairs and irnprovements on their machinery, which will enable then to greatly increase their capacity, this being necessary to fill the large orders whieh they are receiving from all parts of the country, for their make of goods. The annual church parade of the Sons of England took place on Sunday morning last to the Alain-st. Meth. c lurch, where Rev, Mr- Ruasoll of the James-st. church preached a special sermon, Tho turnout was not large owing to the inclemency of the weather, but the sermon was both in- structive and interesting. It is staid that by a late scientific discov- ery pure butter can be made for less than fifty cents a pou:rd. This is more surpris- ing than even the astonishing statement of an American paper, that good bread has been made by a chemical process from saw dust. Now for eanned beaus from old shirt buttons, dried beef from old boots and shoes, and fresh sausages from tan bark, One day last week Mr. Gee. Armstrong, of the Thames Road, Usborue, lost a valu- able horse .by a peculiar accident. A young lad recently from one of the pauper homes was engaged harrowing a field. In turning too abort the barrows upset,andfallingagainst the horses they ran away. Finally they got onto the road, and in their mad race one of them by some means fell nn the up -turned harrnws,killing it almost rile iarleiy, Now is the time far every elector who is entitled to have his name on the 'Voters' lists for municipal electione, or for Provin- cial elections, to see that he is properly enrolled by the assessor. Before this month closes, the Courts of Revisions will have been held in the various municipali- ties, and the roll will then be confirmed, after which names can only be added by going to the trouble of doiug so before the County Judge, Do people read advertisements in a newspaper, is a question often asked; well, yea they do. or at least the majority of them do, especially those who are not rushed and crowded with too much busi- ness, It pays them too,tand advertisements are the most valuable and interesting mat- ter of news in a paper .from a financial standpoint. They are simply the business news of the different firms, and are often spicy and interesting as well as profitable. Never „throw away a paper until you have read what the merchants anis others have to say in their regular space. It will often save you dollars; put that down for solid fact. A System has been adopted by merchants who give credit in the American cities, which, we think, would be very suitable here and would save a great amount of book-keeping and disputes about accounts. Books of tickets, representing sums from 5c up, are giver to customers, jest as bread tickets are supplied here. Por instance, a customer goes to his grocer and asks for a $10 book of tickets. He is charged with $10 worth of tickets, and when he makes a purchase he hands out tickets to the amount of the bill and these are put in the till and represent so much cash. Once each month. or two menthe, a note is given or cash paid for the tickets sold, and no sale of ticket books amounts to Less than $5, so a great saving in book-keeping is effected. Richard Waistell of McGillivray town- ship, who has spent the last ;six weeks in jail, charged with bigamy,was tried before His Honor Judge Toms on Wednesday last. Richard had been married in 1849 to one Susannah Cook, who is still living, and on March 19, 1889, had a second ceremony, performed by Rev, Mr. Clement, at that time Methodist minister at _Exeter, to Ann Cobleigh, of McGillivray, The certificates of both marriages and other conclusive evidence was adduced. It was shown, however,that the prisoner and his wife had not lived happily together, and that some five years ago, she left him and •went to Michigan. In Fehruary, 1899, Waistell went to Michigan Ito ,induce Susannah to some back to his bed and board,which she ref need to do. :EIe then made o t Ve tareg to Ann i Cnb er li and was married m: rtKed t 4 ober on the 19th of March following.ldis Honor found the peleoncrguilty,an,under the ciritunatoiiecs ret forth, allowed hint to go on suspended sentence under a bond of x1500 to apncir for C^gtence Within five days when railed for. est rsOaats, ;.

Huron Teachers' Convention will be held at Goderieh on Friday and Satur- day, June 3 and 4. The teachers hero say they would rather it were on a Thursday and Friday. A young son Airs.

Lingard, of Centralia, was before Chas. Snell, J. P., on Monday on a charge of disorderly conduct, and being an unfit person to be at large. He was convicted to Goderieh jail where ho should be, being a county ward. Mr. R. S. Lang has moved bis implement warehouse onto a lot on the old market property purchased of Mr. Wm.

The Ontario Government have issued a pamphlet descriptive of the Rainy River Dietriet, which will be invaluable to those who are eomtentplating settling there. The 52 pants contain full and accurate de- scriptions of the soil, climate, agricultural capabilities, area, timber resources, etc,, of this new addition to Ontario's area. We had hoped to have been able to have given something definite this week regard- ing the Verity Agricultural Works, but as a decision bas not yet been arrived at as to their remeviug front Exeter or remain- ing with ns, we can only say that the mat- ter will be settled in a few days, While the Massey -Harris Co. are making a strong pull to have the Verity firm leave Exeter, the people here are using every endeavor io retain the works. [A telegram was received late last evg. from Mr. R. H. Verity, who went to Toronto to interview the Massey -Farris Co., that the works would be removed from Exeter in September.] On Tuesday, May 10, Thomas Orme cele- brated his 80th birthday at his residence, Luean, and is now one of the oldest settlers in the county of Middlesex. Weather and crop prophets maintain the idea that this year will be the best for fruit we have had. The weather has been so cold up till now that the buds haven't came out, and so the frost has done no damage. St. Marys are agitating for better fire protection. It is proposed to form a joint stock company for the purpose of putting a steam pump in Carter's & Co's flour mill capable of throwing 000 gallons per minute, and putting a 0 -inch iron pipe from the mill along Queen street to Church street, a 4 - inch pips along Chnroh to Garnet House, and on. Water street to the post office; put in six hydrants -one each at the corner of Wat r, wellington and Chnroh at the'r junction with Queen, at the mill, post office and Garnet House. This would cost $1706. All within a radius of 1000 feet of any of these hydrants would have the benefit of a reduction in insurance of 10 per cent. on account of the extra fire protection.' Within the radius of those affected by this system it is estimated that a saving of $1,000 per annum will be effected, and as it will cost only between one or two hundred dollars a year to run the pump, a great financial saving would thus be made. One of the sights of the City of Hamilton is the factory in which the celebrated "Myrtle Nary" tobacco is made. Some people may suppose that putting up plugs of tobacco mart be a very simple matter, but a walk amidst the ponderous and com- plicated machinery of the establishment would op•edily'undeceive them.
