Arbor day was observed in the Pub- lic School here on Friday last and a general "clean-up" took place. Among the candidates confirmed in St. Paul's Cathedral, London, recently was Miss Eva Newton daughter of Thos. Newton of this place. The wool crop will soon begin to move. Chances are that the price will not be so high this season as it has leen for the past two seasons. Several cases of diphtheria have been reported in Usborne and to prevent rapid spread of the malady the church and school at Elimville haye been closed. Do parents known that the Truancy Act imposes a fine of $20 on anyone hiring a child between eight and four- teen. years of age, and provides that they must obtain the consent of the magistrate before keeping their child reu at home? A Galt man lost $600 and a boy named l\lcVicar found it. Ou return- ieg it he was rewarded with three cents. The lad says the reward was at least a twenty thousandth part of what he found, and he will wear the coppers on his watch chain. The village property of the late John' Veal situated on Edward street will be offered for sale by public auction at the Central Hotel, on Friday June 1st. at 2 o'clock P. M. This is a desirable piece of land and would make a splen- did buiding site.

The sermon will be preached in St. Paul's church by the 4ev. Mr, Fairlie. The audience which greeted the *era Lord Bailey entertainment last Friciay flight, was a small one indeed, considering the talent present.

Without question the wheat crop is in better condition than it has been for years but there are so many elements that may disturb its development that it is unsafe to "bank" upon it."—Brandon Sun. It is strange how closely men read the papers. We never say anything that anybody doesn't like but we soon hear of it. If, however, we once in a while happen to say a good thing we never hear of that. Nobody seems to notice it, We pay a man a hundred compliments and give him a hundred puffs and he takes it as a tribute to his greatness, and never thinks it does him any good. 13ut if we happen to say something this man don't like, or something he imagines a reflection on his character, see how quickly he flares up and gets mad about it. All kinds or'evil are charged against us, but we never, apparently, get any credit for what good we do. A Grand ,Bend correspondent says: -- "The lift of fish was very light on Mon- day. Last week Mr. Spackman & Green's not lifted over one ton at one lift." Competent judges who haye been ex. atnining the apple trees in the. Michi- gan section predict a larged crop. The peaches will not be more prolific than last year, and the plums are suffering from caterpillars. The publisher of the Port Hope Guide recently got judgement for $11.50 against a Guelph man who sent back his paper "Refused." Judge Ketchum was v'ary severe upon this species of dishonesty. The publisher also got colts. Kincardine Reyiew:—"Trees ieaye in May. Mowat will leave in June. The conviction must be strong on Sir Oli- ver's mind that 'his hour has come'. `Mote' must go. Then we'll be able to see more clearly to take the beam out of the eye," Two hundred and fifty men have been thrown out of work at the G.T.R. car shops London, owing to the decision of the G. T. R. authorities to curtail ex- spenses and economize their coal supply as much as possible, pending the settle- ment of the big American coal miners' strike. The order laying off the men is foran indefinite period, but all will join in the hope the men may soon be at work again.

The semi-annual Institute meeting of the teachers of West Huron will be held in the public school, here, on Fri- day and Saturday', May 25th and 26th, commencing on Friday at 10 a. m. According to the comes there is, in Ontario, one Clergyman to each 700 population, one physicaa to each 900, and a lawyer to each 1,100. This indi- cates that the professions are fairly well filled. But this is nothing to the crowding in public offices. For each 70 families in this Province there is one Government official to keep them in order. The extent to which we are over- governed could not be better illus- trated than by these figures, Tho oldest inhabitant fails to rememl ber a spring so early, or the genera appearance so far advanced and indi- cations of an abundant harvest as at present, Our fields and orchards give encouragement of more than an ordi- nary good harvest, and barring frost and blight a season of unexampled prosperity may reasonably be anticipa- ted For true it is "the wealth of the world comes out of the ground," and this season looks as though she's nom• ing that way. ow's loin For1ua1e Opor1llflu1 1 Do You Want a New Cafe ?

"Why do toads come out of their holes during hail storms and hop around in the midst of sure death as though they were mad? A troop of half a hundred appeared on one lawn last Thursday afternoon and some of them smashed flatter than pan cakes, while others were literally driven into the ground. Not one escaped without bearing from the battle fieldreminde:s of the foolishness of defying the ele meats when they really start out on a tear."—London Free Press, We see by the Minutes of the last meeting of the Council that the electric street lamps are to be located as fol- lows, viz. Corner of Huron and Main streets; corner opposite Central Hotel; corner next to Town Hall; one at Triy- itt Memorial Church, one at old market square: front L. Hardy's; front of R. S. Lang's,and one at Thames road. We have no objections to lights at those places but we cannot understand why Simcoe street at the South, and Victoria streets should be cut off. Lights at these points would r^et ' -, _,�.ccnly aecotntdate a greater t.umber 3£ rate payers than by the present arrangement. The Council should give this matter a careful con side ration, and thus do justice to all. In the Court of Appeal at Toronto en Wednesday week, in the Township of Morris and County of Huron, Mr. Gar - row, Q. C. for the corporation of the County of Huron, appealed from an or, der and decision of Ferguson J., dis- missing an appeal by the appellants from an award under the Municipal Act in favor of the corporation of the Township of Morris, whereby the ap- pellants were ordered to contribute to- wards the erection and maintenance of bridges in the township under section 533 (A). of the Consolidated Municipal Act, 1892. Since the inception of the appeal the Legislature hasirepealed the sectiun in question, and left only the questions of costs to be disposed of Counsel for the appellants contended' that the award was bad, and that they were entitled to the costs. Aylesworth Q C., and E. L. Dickinson, (Wingham) for the township of Morris, contra. Re served. At this time when so many persons are being caught in some offence und- er the Post -Office Act, it might perhaps be the means of keeping some person from being mulcted in a fine by stat- ing in brief what constitutes an offence under this Act: Enclosing a letter or letters, or any writing intended to serve the purpose of a letter, in a par- cel posted for parcel post, or in a pack- et of samples or patterns, or in a news- paper, for writing on the margin of newsyany newspapers or in mail matter sent P P by post not� beieg a letter, the fine for each offence being not more than $40 nor less than $10; removing with fraud- ulent intent any mark from a postage stamp made at any post office, is guilty of a misdemeanor; using or attempt- ing to use a stamp which has been be- fore used, for which the fine is above stated. In this age of cheap postage any person who would attempt to de- fraud under the Post -Office Act, do - serves to be made pay the fine. The County Council meets in Goder- ich on Tuesday June 5th.

Dissolved Partnership. As will be seen elsewhere in this issue the partnership existing between Mr J. Cobbledick and Mr. W Folland has been dissolved and the business in fut- ure will be conducted by Mr. Cobble - dick.

EACRETT, Clerk. Killed on the Traelt. This week it is our sad and melan- choly duty to record a railroad fatality which brought extreme sorrow to the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. Grigg, of Mont- real West, former residents of Exeter It seems their little son Morris Bertram had been in the habit of leaving his home and going to the depot to meet his father, who is a traveller, and on Thursday least as usual went to the station with probably more eagerness ernes s than ever before, as his father had promised him a pocket knife on his re- turn, but before his father arrived a passing train struck him, and it is sup- posed killed him almost instantly. It appears no person witnessed the acci- dent. His remains were brought here Saturday last and interred in the Exe- ter cemetery Sunday. He was a bright, promising lad of nearly seven years of age. The bereaved parents have the sympathy of all in this their sad afflic- tion, CARLING BROS. announce the arrival of goods of this class in new ideas and styles.
