A Thirty-five Dollar Crack One of the large plate glasses re- 'cently placed in the Oddfellows Block was noticed on Saturday morning to be badly cracked, The only reason as- signed for the break is that the casing became so much swollen as to press heavily on the plate and thus breaking it. It is to he replaced shortly. An Old Exeter Boy Advances. Mr. L. T. Gill, who ,. served his ap preuticeship with Messrs Carling Bros., and later held a g; od position in a large store in Cleveland, Ohio, has, we are pleased to note, been appointed to the advanced and lucrative position as buyer for the Lace, Handkerchief, Rib- bon and Gent's Furnishing department in the largest stere in Pawtucket R I. This will be gratifying to Luther's many friends here. Surgical Operation. On Monday last Drs. Hyndman & Hyndman performed a surgical opera tion on William J , eldest sen of Mr. J T. Westcott, Huron st., by amputating the second toe on the left foot. A. year ago last summer while at Grand Bend rusticating he stubbed his toe on a snag, breaking one of the cords. It did not seem to trouble him much un- til recently when it became painful and necessitated amputation. The pa- tient is doing nicely. Margaret L. Shepherd The audiences that have greeted Margaret L. Shepherd, the eloquent and brilliant ex -Romanist, in the Main Street Methodist church on three differ- ent occasions were very large and'high ly appreciative. Mrs, Shepherd is ad mittedly a Deer among lecturers and her subjects being characterized mostly from the experiences of her own life make thein exceedingly interesting She remains herr to day and to morrow and will ,deliver three more of her cel- ebrated lectures.

The Brussels Post thus writes of the death of a former resident of Usborne: —"Mrs. John Pybus, was .called away to her long home on Sunday morning at 6 o'clock. She had been a great sufferer during her illness but there was a calm and a peace amid it all that betokened the presence of the Great Physician, The deceased was the old- est daughter of Thos. Allin, now of Winnipeg, Man., and she was born at Newcastle, Ont. When 9 years ofage the family moved to the neighborhood of Exeter where on Sept. 26th, 1867, She was united to her now bereft part- ner in marriage. Mr, and Mrs. Pybus resided in Usborne and Tuckersmith beforecoming to Morris township 8 ,years ago. 'They became residents of Brussels a few months ago. The sub jeet of this notice was the mother of 11 children, one of whom died in infancy. Two sons are now living in the West. Consumption, the fell destroyer, was the cause of Mrs. Pybus' death, the dis ease asserting itself about 3 years ago. For the past 15 months she has been unable to do any work. For many years the deceased was a faithful mem her of the .Bible Christain and Metho dist churches and to the close of Iife kept the prize hi view. A true Wife, a loving mother and a kind neighbor were noticeable characteristics of the departed and the relatives are deeply sympathised with in the great loss they have suffered. The funeral otr -Tues day afternoon was largely attended, Rev. G. H. Cobbledick conducted the service. Mrs. Pybus' age was 44 years months, and 6 days. For boots and shoe's that will keep your feet dry, go to Geo Mattson's. Rey. Hendes, of Loudon, filled the. pulpit in the Main Street Methodist Church on Sunday last in the absence of their pastor, Rev. Wm. McDouagb, who preached in Windsor. A Walkerton hotel -keeper was fined $50 for refusing to admit the license inspector to search his. premises, The hotel -keeper appealed to Osgoode. Hall,. but the court refused redress. Mr, George Russell, of Leamington, late teacher in Providence school, house, Stephen, has been oft duty this winter owing to an attack of scarlet fever, followed by his old onemy,Quinsy, He returned to his duties last week after six weeks absence His brother Fred. filled the vacancy part of the time. Patrons Convention. A convention of the Patrons of South Huron was held at Hensall Thursday,. and was well attended by members of that organization from different parts of the Riding. Mr. Samuel Sanders, who had been tendered the noznivatiou for the Legislature at the Patron con- vention in January, tendered his resig- nation. The matter of selecting anoth- er candidate was then carefully dis gussed, and it was decided not to bring out a candidate and leave the field to Mr, M. Y McLean and Mr. D. Weismiller, the Liberal and Conservative can- didates already selected. Me. James $weet,shot a large porcu- pine iu the Swamp, a few days ago. A return has been presented to the Horse showing that the total number of reeves and deputies comprised in. the various counties of Ontario in 1892 was 1,149. as against 1,098 in 1887. The amount paid as indemnity in 1892 was $55,456, as compared with $55.235 in 1887, The total amount of the as- sessment in the differei t counties for 1892 was $601,457,158, as against $591,- 816,006, in 1887. The rate ou the dol- lar in 1892 averaged 1.88 for both the years named. Simco has the largest number of reeves -53. The following item clipped from the Thornbury Herald, refers to an old time resident of Exeter, "In the early part of last month Mr. Wm, Fanson, auctioneer, was conducting a sale for Mr. Sherrick. near Nottawa Village, in Simcoe county, and after the sale was over discovered that some individual had stolen his robe. He at once placed a notice in the Collingwood Bulletin announcing his loss and requesting the thief to return the robe to Mr. Samuel Friends, Nottawa, as he was seen tak- ing it (by the Divine eye held in ment- al reservation) Yesterday he received word from Mr Friend stating that the robe had been left inN his pump' house but the guilty party did not leave his card, evidently not wanting his name to be known, The advertisement did the business.

Jackson. of Exeter, preached the missionary sermons in the Metho- dist church, last Sunday, morning and evening. The subject of the morning's discourse was from Matt. 17, 19 20. He showed that endowments and talents are in part natural,not chiefly acquired. Power of faith comes from our own try tug to believe. A faith like a mustard seed is capable of development and if properly nourished may grow strong and bring forth fruit in its season. Have we the faith that removes moun- ta.ns of selfishness and brings us into higher services? The evening's text was Matt. 19,16 22. A man may live morally, etc., and be perfect outward but inwardly he may be greatly want ing. A great many are lacking just where the rich young man was at fault. Their religion stops when it strikes the pocket. The missionary money of the world, for one year,would not pay the liquor bill of the United States for a day and a half, or of Great Britain and Ireland for two days. Are •Christain people then so very self deny- ing as is sometimes thought? Exeter Council Proceedings. Council met pursuant to adjourn- ment at the Town Hall, Exeter, 2nd March, 1894.

Well Bred Fie useies A writer in one of the city dailies says "well bred persons do not carry bundles or parcels on the street, except when it is absolutely necessary" That's just where the writer confounds well bred persons, snobs and flunkies. A well bred person carries a bundle when he has one to carry and when it con . en- ient for him to carry. A well bred man can bring his stuff home on a wheel barrow and his breeding does not suff- er a bit. No honest employment hurts any man's breeding. At Home. An at home, under the auspices of the Women's Missionary Society, will held at James St. Church Parsonage on Wed. March 14th at 4 o'clock p. m.

Jackson, Mrs. D. French, President; See'y. She Used Bad Postage Stamps. The post office officials are kept busy just now in looking after persons, who attempt to prepay postage with stamps previously used, and other irregulari- ties, Consequentially several convic- tions have recently been made through- out the province. On Monday last Mrs. Wm. Holt, on information of Post office Inspector Barker, of London, was brought before his Worship, Chas. Snell here, charged with the above mentioued offence. She admitted the charge and was mulcted in a fine of $20, and the post office taken from her charge. The office at Khiva is now closed, but will likely be opened as soon as a suitable place can be procured. Inspector Bar ker informed us that many petty frauds of a like nature are daily per- petrated on the mails, such as enclos- ing parcels, letters, etc., in newspapers and in fact many other ways and that the government is determined to put a stop to infractions if possible.

For sale on the streets, 1-t A good story hat+ come out on Mr. J A Clark, grocer and confectioner, at Seaforth. Mr, Clark recently received a job lot of canned tomatoes and start- ed to run them off at three cans for a quarter. Mr. 1? S. Beattie. V. S., drop ped in about supper time one evening and took three cans. Next day there was a regular rush for tomatoes, so much so, in fact that the clerk was led to enquire of a customer what was going on in town that everyone was buying tomatoes. It ultimately turned out that, although the cans were. label- led "tomatoes," they contained very fine peaehes, worth about twenty-five cents per can instead of eight and a third cents. Mr. Clark has had a "tired feeling" ever' since, because he didn't find it out first. Spring! Spring!Spring!
