Good Friday on. March 23rd, and Easter Sunday on March 25th. The Lenten season is about as early this year as it can be. Not since 1881 has Easter fallen on so early a date. The railroads have raised the rate on hay to New York $1 per ton, which has demoralized the Canadian hay trade, so that at present there is very little moving. The local dealers have stopped shi..ping for the present. At the annual meeting of the Exeter Creamery Association the following of- ficers were elected for the ensuing term:—President, A..Bishop; Vice -Pres. Wm. Northcott; Directors, Messrs. P. Madge, A.

While Master Frank Lutz was play- ing a game called "grab" with other boys at school, Tuesday, he nnfortun ately met with an accident that left him with a broken nose. As the boys in the game, rushed to make a grab, Frank's nose came in contact with one of the boy's heads, with the above re- sult. In conversation with a prominent contractor this week, he informed us that building prospects for spring are not very bright, owing much to the raise in prices of brick and other build ing material,a lso the want of more snow on the roads and in the woods, which would make it much easier in getting ant timber. The debate at the Epworth League meeting in the James St. Methodist church, Tuesday night, 'Which had the most influence in the world, Men or Women" was decided in favor of the fair sex. Mr. P. Frayne and Mr. Fred Collins were champions for the men. Mrs. W. H. Parsons and Miss P. Down for the women.

A horse belonging to Messrs. Ford Bros. that was left standing in their back yard attached to a sleigh, ran away on Saturday last and broke the rig. The horse escaped unhurt. A large load of Royal Templars drove to Seaforth on Monday to attend the district meeting hell there. Many from all over the district were in at- tendance and the meeting was a very enthusiastic one. On Saturday while Rev. Martin's son, Alex. was driving south on Main st., the horse took fright and ran away and on turning Gidley st., west, the cutter turned over throwing the boy out but doing him no hurt. The horse received some scratches from a broken shaft. The horse was stopped near Mr, A. Bissett's residence. There are now in Canada 145 brew- eries and nine distilleries; 1,840 persons employed by breweries and 404 by the distilleries; the value of raw material used for the year by the breweries $2,- 530,631 and by the distilleries $1.222, 019; the value of the output of the breweries $5,717,873 and of the distill- eries $2,199,601. It is a lot of money, friends. On Saturday last while Mr. John Duncan, sr., of Farquhar, vas driving homeward his horse became spirited when passing another rig and made a sudden spring into the ditch, throwing Mr. Duncan out on his head inflicting several large and painful scalp wounds and rendering him almost unconscious. He was at once removed to the . Com- mercial House and his wounds dressed by Dr. Rollins. The buggy was some- what broken but the horse escaped un- hurt. The concert held in Drew's Opera Hall Friday evening last, was not as well attended 'as it should have been, which is no doubt owing to the Nora. Clench concert on Friday evening next. The programme was a well selected one, but several of the performers did not appear. ','hose who responded were well received, especially Miss Nellie Davidson who certaiuly ranks with the best vocalist in town. The star of the evening was Miss Ivy Tait a little tot of 4 years who gave a recitation in splendid style and answered to an 'en - chore. We sincerely -hope that the Fireman's concert will receive better patronage next year. An Egmondville correspondent of the Huron Expositor says:—'One of the harrowing tales of the terrible destitu- tion among the people of the neighbor- ing republic is related by a resident of this village,, who has lately been' in Northern Michigan. The father of a famine-striken family applied to a store keeper for some flour to feed his. starving children, but was refused, be- cause he had no money, but, driven to desperation, he snatched a twenty ;five. pound sack and ran home, foliewed closely b policeman,. v y a who, on •.enter - big the destitute home,found the, fam- ished children devourig the raw flour in handfuls, To the credit ofthe h . of13- cer he left the family to their heir repast and Weng. and.paid the merchant for the flottar." The store recently vacated by Messrs Pickard & Son is now undergoing re- pairs, and when completed will be oc- cupied by Mr. E. J Spacknan Co. It is being re -modeled in many ways The present winter is said co be the most severe experienced in Great Brit- ain for the last half cee fury. Me ny people have been frozen to death and traffic has been greatly interfered with by heavy storms. Scientists are attri- buting this change of climate to a di- version in the course of the Gulf Stream. Should this theory be correct, the future climate of Britain will be more severe, and Canada will have a milder climate. A man who has been wearing russet shoes says: "I paid 10 cents a lick to keep those shoes polished at first, but I don't any more. I saw that paragraph about rubbing them with the inside of a banana skin. I tried it and it worked first rate, One day I had no banana peel by me, so I tried a small tomato, and that worked first rate, too. Since then I've tried all kinds of stuff—pota- to parings, apples, carrots, turnips, I don't know what all—and I find that they all work as well as the banana or its the polish that you pay for.

County Orange Meeting. The Orange Lodge of South Huron will meet in annual session at Exeter next Tuesday at 11 a. m.

A meeting of the Patrons of Industry for the South Riding of Huron was held in Coxworth's Hall, Hensall, on Thurs- day last, to nominate a candidate for the Local Legislature. Notwithstanding the severe weather, each township of the Riding was well represented, and much enthusiasm was manifested by the delegates. The couyention'schoice fell'on S. M. Sanders, of Stephen, who, with an able address, accepted the nomination, and the Patrons of South Huron have every confidence, in their popular standard bearer. Cheap Printing. "The Exeter Times has secured the county printing for 1894 at prices which would starve a. good workman on quarter pay. If the work was being performed for .a church organization we' could understand why some of it might be performed without any, charge. Bet why newspaper Hien should work for little or nothing, and board themselves, for any corporation, we are at a, loss to know. Gold may glitter in the distance, but the Times will not receive a cent of profit far the greater part of the work. Some of it will be .performed at a direct loss, The County of Huron is sadly in need of a Printers and Publishers Protective As' sociation."- Clinton ArOws Recorpl; fo��slo�'s.

Wood Bros,, who, for the past sixteen years, have successfully con- ducted a butcher shop here, enjoying a large and well deserved trade, have decided to go out of business -at least for the present -having leased their premises to Mr. Wes. Snell, of the Lon- don Road, for a term of five years. Mr. Snell has rented his farm to his brother and will take possession of the shop about April 1st. Mr. Snell has had considerable experience in the butcher business and should command a liberal support. Died in Brantford. The death of Mr, W. H. Verity, of Brantford, formerly of Exeter, was learned with exceeding deep regret. The sad event took place on Monday last at the family residence. His de- mise was in no way unexpected as he has been ailing for many months with a cancerous stomach for which nothing could be done. He visited London, England, a few months ago and con suited one of the most •eminent physi- cians who informed him that nothing could be done for him and that it would be only a matter of time until death would put an end to his sufferings. He at once returned home,since which time it has several times been announced that he was at the point of death and it was expected by none that he would rally so long as he did. Deceased re moved his factory from here a short while ago and during the short resi- dence there had become highly respect- ed. His career through life was a busy and eventful one and his life affords a striking example of the success which invariably attends devotion to duty. It might qe said, in fact, that this .at- tention to business shortened his life. From the very time he started into business until within a 'comparitively short time of his demise he has left much to his memory in the shape of many good deeds. He was a staunch Coiservative and an adherent to the Methodist ehureh. Deceased was 4 years of age and leayes a wife and family of 12 children, two of whom re- sides in Exeter Mrs. T. B. Carling and Mrs, Tlobt Pickard. The business will be continued by his sons, L6gis DJ" -le"' Will watch this space this week, you watch it next. CARLINC ., nos.

Ailsa Craig, tint., Jan. 28,—.K most daring attempt at highway.rnh'heryoc- curred here last night. Mrs. Sken wife of a G. T. R, employe, when re turning home from shopping, and while within a few yards of her own door, was set upon by some person unknown thrown down. and an attempt made to take her purse out of her pocket. Mrs. Shannon being an able bodied woman was able to thwart his purpose long enough to allow' assistanceto arrive. The robber waschased by a couple of young men, and would surely have been caught, only there happened to be a freight train drawing out of the station yard, on which he jumped, and although the news was wired ahead, no trace M him could be found. He is described as a tall man, with a long overcoat and fur cap. Mrs. Shannon had her purse in her muff, or he would have had it . sure. She received no other harm than a terrible fright.
