The Guy Bros., Minstrels held forth here in the Opera House, on Tuesday night and gave a splendid show. The performance was good throughout, and proved very eutertaining. A large number was in attendance. George the Hatter is once more shed- ding the light of his genial countens ance on Seaforth. George says he wa- the. only man in all the crowd of would- be lynchers at Listowel who laid a hand on Chattelle, and he was promptly Tugged for it.-Seaforth Expositor The Police Magistrate has committed two more vagrants to the county jail for six months, one a man named Dayid White;. from near Exeter, and the ocher Sarah McKenzie, an old woman of this town who was so feeble she had almost to be carried into the courtroom.- Goderich Star. George Ostrim, an inmate of the London Asylum escaped from that in- stitution on Sunday last. He was cap- tured. by Chief Gill near Devon on Monday last. Ile was on his way to his former home in Kincardine where shot a man during a fit of insanitity some time ago. A detectiye from Lon• don came up oa Tuesday and took the poor unfortunate back to his ward in the above asylum. The printers of the West have come to an understanding as to the proper way to spell "Northwest." In the past many have heen in doubt whether to write North West, North-West, North- west or Northwest. The tendency in modern days is to make compound words into one word. As most people in Ontario have occasion to use the word frequently, it will be a relief to have all doubt as to the spellers set at rest. A recent issue of the Gerrie Vidette contained the following: "The other day a gentleman who has never taken the Vidette called in at the office and inquired if we had any containing the prize list of the Howick fall show. We handed him one and returned thanks and left the office with a clear conscien- ce. We have his bountiful "thanks" locked up in the safe and if driven to the extremities will try to trade it off for bread or a second hand pair of over shoes when the cold weather comes. The gentleman referred to was no re- lation to the man who used a wart which grew on the back of his neck for a collar button." The Recital on Thanksgiving even- ing promises to be a lei ge and success- ful affair. Satisfactory arrangements have been made between the choir leaders of -James St., the Presbyterian and the Trivitt Memorial whereby a service of sorg is to be held quarterly by th.e combined choirs for purposes of mutual education and advantage. Owing to the sudden call of Mr. D. A. Ross to Manitoba the Main St. choir cannot give their decision unttl their practise this week, but it is confidently expected that they also will be in as. Cord, We congratulate the choirs on their intention, and predict for the movement hearty and unqualified suc- cess. Have you bought your underwear? If not try the Exeter Woollen Mill, they give the best goods for the least money. Give them a call, you will be surprised to tind woollens so cheap. The street lights, which have not been in operation for several weeks, shone forth as bright as ever on Mon day night. A new lamp has placed on the pole in front of J. A. Stewarts store and has made a decided improvement in the lighting service. It is not often that farmers require to take advantage of the insolveney act, but Mr. John W. Tyerman, of Me Killop, seems to be an exception to the rule. He has assigned to Mr. J. C. Smith, Banker, ofSeaforth. and a meet, ing of creditors is to be held on Friday, November 16th. The Criminal Code provides a penal- ty of $50 for dealers who sell pistols or air guns, or ammunition for the same, to persons under sixteen years of age.

There wits quite a,heavy fall of snow on Friday last and sleighing has been comparatively good ever since, There was a falling off in the num- ber of passengers carried by the Grand Trunk during the last half year to the extent of 338,000.

B Carling is in high glee at present, his wife having presented him with a bouncing baby boy on Sat• urday last. Mrs. Andrew Huukin, of Frrquhar, has moved into the residence recently vacated by Mr. Jas. Martin, and in- tends making Exeter her future home, Mr. Stewart, general agent, for the Ontario Mutual Life Insurance Co., treated several of his friends in town to an oyster supper on Thursday even• ing last. Mr. Dyer, of the Advocate, received the sad intelligence on Friday last that his brother -in law, Mr W. Perdue, was lying at the point of death at his home in Walkerton. Mr. Perdue has been a victim of consumption and has been on a gradual decline for some time. It will be remembered that he visited Mr. Dyer here for a few weekes during the sum- mer. The question of scribbling book vs. slate, has been brought up in the Lon- don Board of Education by Trustee Blackwell, who says the former has of late almost driven the slate out of ex- istence in the school rooms, on the or der of the teachers. "It is no laughing matter with a workingman having a large family to support," said the trus- tee. Trustee Jeffery said there seemed to be no doubt that the matter was he ing abused by the teachers. To those people who were hardly earning their living, this constant purchasing of scribbling books made a great deal of difference. Trustee Anderson believed the cause of the schools turning out so many bad writers nowadays was the use of scribbling books in place of the slate. Bicycle for Sale.

On Trail. For several months Government de- tectives have been on the trail of the culprits who broke into the Exeter Woollen mill some months ago and carried off several hundred dollars w'orth of woollen goods, and as a re suit matters are developing favorably for the arrest of the guilty parties. Ed- ward Shodldice, a young man of 20 years, was arrested yesterday by Gov- ernment Detective Rogers and Detcct ivo Ward in McGillivray township on a charge of stealing the goods in May last. Shouldrec has been remanded to the 19th. The goods were found in his possession. Strayed from the premises of Thos. Snell, Huron street, a small white pig.

Snell, Rave You Considered It v The Exeter Advocate, The Canadian Annual, and the Toronto DAILY News for only $1.75; or the Advocate,Canad ion Annual, the Daily News, and the Canadian Farmers Sun, for $2.25. Empty Rouses and Insurance. It may interest house owners to know that should houses be destroyed by fire when untenanted, it is difficult to collect insurance. In a case decid- ed the other day, the Waterloo. Mutual succeeded in resisting payment on this ground, The safer way is to notify the company when a house becomes ya cant. Its News ei'aWant. Everybody wants to know what is going on around town It is a popu- lar idea that the newspaper man is here, there and. everywhere at the same time. We travel around a good deal, but there are many little items of interest that we miss. You all have friends coming or going at some time or other, and your friends about town would be interested in the news. Wheneyer you have friends visiting, or if anything out of the ordinary hap- pens, just send us a note of it or drop into the office and let us know. These little items would be of interest to friends and also brighten the paper. An important Decision. If a man rents a house or store. sign- ing the ordinary form of lease, and dur- ing his tenancy erects shelving, coun- ters, gas fixtures, etc, which become at- tached to' the premises, Chancellor Boyd decided the other day that these, at the expiration of the tenant's lease, became the property of the landlord: The decision was given in the case of Argles vs. McMath. Previously the law has been that the tenant could remove any fixtures that he might erect, The Chancellor adds that that matter is de- serving of legislative consideration as to whether some consideration should not be put on the general words of these statutory convents in lease,, so as to make remoyable all such trade or tenant fixtures as were before annexa- tion separate personal chattels. Shot Two Wild Cats. Mr, Jos. McDonald, while working in Kay swamp, yesterday (Wed,), noticed some large animal tracks in the snow, which, on examination, proved to be that of a wild cat. After trailing them a short distance he was greatly sur- prised on looking up into a tree to find his catahip comfortably seated on a limb. Not having a gun, Mr. McDonald, started for home, bringing back with him a gun and two dogs. It was not long before he got sight of the desired game and with steady,aim brought him to the ground, badly woif•nded. The dogs at once grabbed the animal and caused it to make some terrible yells, when to Mr. McDonald's astonishment a second cat was noticed springing from another tree, unto the dogs; but the cat not judging the distance very good lit several feet from them, this afford- ing Mr, McDondald a splendid oppor- tunity to Shoot it before getting at. the doge, Judging' from the size of the• eats they would be about a year, old.

Death of Mrs. Ferguson. There died at the residence of Mr. Chas Snell, Jr. on Wednesday of last week Mrs. Elizabeth Ferguson, (relict of the late Robert Ferguson.) Deceased has been a victim of tubercular troubles for the past ten months and has been gradually declining ever since, Prob- ably what hurried her demise sooner than otherwise, her daughter died a few months ago with the same trouble and ever since then her life has been greatly impaired. She leaves to mourn her death two daughters, Mrs. John Redmond, of Ballardt, Wash.,,and Mrs, Chas. Snell, of this place, and one son, Robert Ferguson, who is now attending the Detroit Medical College. Her ago was 64 years and 7 months, For a great many years Mrs. Ferguson was a resident of Hay township and her many friends there will be grieved to hear of her death, The funeral took place ,on Friday to the Rcdgerville cemetry. Fakes and all sorts of Tries And humbugs, are resorted to by some dealers to catch trade. They profess that you can get Dry. goods and groceries for nothing ! For example they will quote prices as follows: --- Overcoats worth $15.00 for $10.00 Suits " 12.00 " 8.00 Shirts " 1,00 `0 Dress -goods " .75 " Cotton " .08 ;, Ladies' Hose " .35 " Tea " .35 44 .50 .50 ,05 .25 .25, etc. We call a spade a spade! Such absurd advertisements are of no value any more than cheap goods are Still as Barnum used to say, "People like to be humbugged." Carling Bros. don't make such offers. We have been here too long to resort to that sort of thing. Their trade is established and is reliable. Carling Bros. sell at fair profits. You get what you ask for and pay the least money consistant with excellent value. Try Tetley's celebra- ted Tea, sample given free, -50, 60 and 70 cts per lb.
