This is the way an exchange sums up the financial trouble: Money got tight and was locked up. It is now said to be sobering, up, and going out to do its legitimate work in the com- mercial world. We cannot expect the dollar to keep straight, because it is round, but, we surely thought it had cents enough to keep moving. Dr. D. A. Anderson, who has been practicing dentistry with his brother Dr. H. S. Anderson, of Mitchell, for the past two years, has decided to locate iu Exeter and has leased operating rooms over the Elliot & Elliot law offices. The doctor gomes highly recommended and we hope his success will be such as to induce him to remain and become a citizen. The stores on main street presented a very handsome appearance on Sat- urday evening last. Mr, Robert Sanders purchased the Down property at Devon on Monday last. He paid a good figure, Owing to the severe illness of Miss Ferguson, her brother Robert is teach- ing her department in the public school. Mr. Jas. Parsons purchased the house and lot owned by Mr. Wm. Grigg, on Sirncoe street, last week. Considera- tion over $550. B. Aubry, of Montreal, the popular horse buyer, will be in Exeter again on April 10th, same day on which the Spring show is to be held. The past week our road commis- sioner has had a gang of men to work cleaning of the refuse heaps from main street which had become a great nuis. ince. The post office department has made a notification of a change in the form of post office orders This introduces into the order the names of the payer and makes the order negotiable like a bank check. The new forms will be sent out to the post offices as rapidly as the old ones which they now have are used. The funeral of the late 3 aures Row- cliflo, of Usborne, past through this village on Weduesdity afternoon last nnroute to the Exeter cemetery and was largely attended. The best way to ascertain whether coiled has been adulterated is to pour cold water on it. If pure, it will color the water slightly; if mixed with chic- ory, the water will take a brownish • hue. Do not forget the Stephen & Us - borne Agricultural Spring show to be held at the fair grounds, Exeter, next Stirlill Tuesday.

Oyster Social, Friday night; Buy sailor Boy Japan tea at the Big Bankrupt store. -t One of our young men was brought before the beak of the law for being drunk and disorderly on Monday even ing last and fined ou Tuesday to the tune of $5, On Tuesday last there was quite an extensiye exchange of valuable prem- ises, wherein Mr. John Loadman, trad- ed his farm, situated a mile and a quarter south of Exeter, to our old re- liable liyery man, Mr. Ed, Christie for that valuable business known as "Christie's livery stable," While we regret that Mr. Christie is retiring from our business circle, we extend the hand of welcome to Mr. Loadman, and wish him every success that has attended Mr. Christie The season of the year is again here when the backyards should be thor- oughly cleaned of all refuse which has been accumulating during the winter All the dead leaves etc, which are now lying wet on the ground, can be easily raked up and scattered over your gar- den plot where it will be turned under the ground when the plow does its work,thereby leaving no chance for vile stenches, arising from decaying mat ter, and preventing such diseases as fever &c., to spread in our midst. At- tend to it at once. We notice Mr. Wes. Bissett wearing a clean, white apron and doing the meat act in Davis' butcher shop this week. We understand that Mr. Dan Davis has taken full charge of the bus- iness and that Mr. Bissett will be his helper. Wes has been living in Kal- amazoo, Mich., for the past twelve months, now we are pleased to wel come him home again. Mrs. Wade. who died at her resi- dence, Parkhill, the other day, at the age of 81 years, was an old and respect ed citizen of that town. Her husband, the late Ralph Wade, was killed at the Desjardins bridge catastrophe in 1857, Mrs. Wade had been closely identified with the establishment and growth of the Baptist church there. She had several children, amongst whom are Mr. Robert Wade, of West Williams; Mrs. Wm. Dickson, Mrs. Rutherford, Mrs. Stark, Mrs. Hanson and Mrs. Chas, Gidley, Exeter. According to his own story, in the St. Catharines Star, a Pelham farmer had been using dynamite for the pur- pose of blowing stumps out of the ground The dynamite was mixed with sawdust, and gaye out a pleasant odor, which attracted the attention of two hog's feeding in the vicinity, Short- ly after one of them entered the stable and began rubbing its side against a post at the mouth of a rule's stall. The mule, annoyed at the intrusion, gave the hog a kick in the side. "A tremendous explosion followed, and af• ter the smoke and dust had cleared away I ran over and found my hog in pieces, while an enormous hole mark- ed the plaee where it had stood, The other hog is still running at large, to the terror of the entire neighborhood" This yarn is aliiiost good enough for the fishing season, An exchange says that an appeal is made in the press to the farmers of the country to be on guard against the new agricultural pest, the Russ' thistle, which is said to be more ed than the Canadian thistle, has gained such a foothold in our try. The Russian thistle was imported in some flax seed to Scotland, South Dakota, seventeen years ago, and has in that short space of time spread over 30,000 square miles of territory, the damage to crops the past year from this enemy is placed at $2,000,000. • 'CA Wool De Lanes in dark and light colors.

It is not very en- couraging on finding probably 3 or 4 single eggs a day when one ought to get 2 or 3 dozens but on account of the ravaging of some cur of a dog you are � a loser to the extent of 5 or 6 dozen a week. One person has not seen a cer- tain clog on his premises since last Fri- day. He is sure that is the day be canse•that morning he broke his wife's. broom handle. A. Laugh on the Girls. A good joke was played on the girls of a certain town recently by the young men of that town. The boys had been rather remiss in their attentions to the young ladies,and had been "stagging"it to the theater,parties,etc , until the girls got tired of being left out hi the cold, and decided to show their independence. Consequently fifteen of the girls hired a box at the theater and made a very charming theater party. The play was. "Wanted—A husband," and the girls sat serene through it all, never dreaming that the wicked boys had taken ene of the largest, flaring post- ers: "Wanted—A Husband," and fast- ened it around the box so that all the audience might read. An editor who has passed his days in trying to cater to the reading public was forced to acknowledge that his life had been spent in vain, and thus ex- pressed his opinion of the avocation in which he had been engaged:—Editing a newspaper is a fine business—if you like it. Ifiit contains political matter people will not have it. If the type is large, it has not enough reading mat- ter, If we publish telegraph reports, people say they are nothing but lies. If we omit them, they say we have no enterprise. If we have jokes, then we are nothing but rattlepates. If we omit jokes, they say we are nothing but fos sils. If we publish original matter they damn us for not giving selections. If we give selections people say we are lazy for not writing more. If we give a complimentary notice, we are cen- sured for being partial, when we do not all hands say we are, an old hog, If we insert an article that pleases the ladies, the men are jealous, and yin versa. If we attend church, then it is for effect If we stay in our office attending to our business, people say we are to proud to mingle with therm; if we go out, they say we do not attend to our business. If we do not pay promptly, they say we are not to be trusted. If we pay promptly, they say we stole the money, Personal Mention. Mr. i'. A.

This week we are again called upon to pen the death of Horace, H. son of Enoch and Annie Follick Exeter North, at the age of 28 years 8 mouths and 28 days. Deceased at one time attended the St Marys Collegiate Institute, after leaving there he attended the Coburg College where he was ,preparing him- self for the ministry. Id ' November 1890 while at Coburg he caught a se- vere cold which terminated in consump tion and dropsy. He suffered intensely for over three years when death ended his sufferings on Tuesday last. He was a consistent member of the Main Street Methodist Church. He bore his sufferings with christian fortitude trusting in his Saviour. The funeral takes place this afternoon at 2 p. m. to the Exeter cemetery. The family have the sympathy of the community in this their sad loss. Prohibition Delegates. A strong deputation of temperance people, from New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Quebec and Ontario, waited up- on the Dominion Government last week and urged the introduction of a Bill for the immediate and total prohi bition of the manufacture, sale and importation of intoxicating liquors,and against the ratification of that portion of the French Treaty allowing the im portation of light wines at a low rate of duty. The deputation were yery courteously received, but were greatly disappointed at the Premier's reply. He told them frankly that it was out of the question that any Act in connec- tion with prohibition could be put be- fore Parliament this session, and held out little hope that his Government would do so even at some future time. He promised, however, that whether Parliament ratified the French Treaty or not, there would be no provision adopted which would prevent the adore tion of prohibition in this country.
