BALL AND SUPPER. -For some time
past the busy nailer and various
tradesmen have been engaged in the
wort: of erecting for Mr. Joseph Bren-
ner a magnificent hotel, which has at
last been completed. The structure is
a grand one in every sense of the
word, being much in advance of hotels
of much larger places, and reflects
great credit -on the contractor, Mr. Jas,
Beer, of Exeter, and also on the genial
and obliging landlord, who now occu-
pies it, for his enterprise. Your re-
porter was pleased to take a look
through the interior of this fine hostel-
ry a few days ago, and was particular-
ly struck to find that the furnishings
are in keeping with the imposing out
ward appearance of the building. An
iuspection of the nicely arranged bed
rooms, handsome parlors, capacious
dining . room, commodious sample
rooms,, which could not be had at
Grand Bend until now, go to show
that the landlord is determined to make.
his guest cotnfortable and supply a
long -felt want to the commercial trade
and public generally, To mention
anything coucerniug the domestic
management would be entirely out of
place, as it is well known that Mrs.
Brenner, the amiable landlady, keeps
a keen eye over the kitchen and cook-
ing department which, coupled with
the many conveniences, will make it a
pleasant place to lodge. Mr. Bren-
ner, at the request and persuasions of
his several friends, has decided to open
the new house with a ball and supper
to -morrow (Friday) and everything ne-
cessary has been arranged to insure an
enjoyable evening ---first-class music
and lots of good things to snake a

siou fee is a trifle, being only one dol-

EDITOR EXETER ADVOCATE.
I do not know what your opinion
may be on the organization lately
started in Canada called the P.P.A
but I would feel obliged as one of
your subscribers if you would give in-
sertion to the following, from the pen.
of Mr. Robert Seller, the leading Or-
angeman of Quebec proyince, and edi
tor of the Huntington .Gleaner :
"The purpose of the P.P.A. is of the
most selfish and most narrow character,
It does not bid its members to engage
in the struggle to obtain equality of
rights, to overthrow those relics of
feudalism which are preserved in our
institutions. On the contrary, it en-
joins its members to unite to place
Catholics under disabilities by depriv-
ing, them of their inalienable rights to
an equal voice in public affairs, and
their share in 'positions' of profit and
honor. If there is a province in the
Dominion where there is substantial
cause for complaint of the claims of the
church of Rome to privileges injurious
to the public weal it is in Quebec, but
the Protestants of Quebec in combat
ting these pretensions would scorn to
use the weapons of the Yankee invent-
ed P.P.A. To combine to deprive fel-
low subjects of their rights, to boycott
them because of their creed, is an .•f.
fence to justice, itis a violation of the
golden rule, it is a defiance of the spir-
it of Christianity. The sooner the P.P.A.
and the other societies imported from
the States are sent back to the land
where they were hatched, the better
for the peace of Canada. ”
The above may prove of interest to
Protestants everywhere, and partial,
iarly to Orangemen, whose oath and
obligation require there to give "equal
rights" to all citizens.
Yours etc.,

Crushed to Death.
Aylmer, Ont, Jan. 5.-A very sad
accident oceu red yesterday afternoon,
by which Mr. Henry Hayden, a young
married man, lost his life. He was
working.in the woods alone cutting
wood. Two trees were lodged togeth-
er, held by a limb. He cut the limb,
and it springing back, struck him in
the neck, breaking his collarbone. The
trees unfortunately came together,
crushing him in the chest and killing
him instantly. The trees had to be
sawn apart before the unfortunate
man could be released. He leaves a
wife and two children,
Destructive Rabbits
In Southern Manitoba mountain
hares or jack rabbits have become so
numerous that they are proving de-
structive. These interesting but im-
pudent wanderers of the night make
nightly visit to stable yards and grain
stacks in such numbers that farmers
claim that as much is devoured as
would feed a small flock of Sheep One
ma.•►, who lives a short distance from
Pilot Mound, counted fourteen hares
feeding at one time at a stack of oats
and he considered that as many" more
were at no great distance and would
take their turn during the night. A
twelve -pound hare stewed with pota-
toes makes as excellent dinner for
a number of persons and costs about
two cents or the pried of a cartridge.
