Mr. Robert Abraham, a former resi dent of Exeter, but now on a lecturing tour, lectured in the James Street Mtehodist church on Wednesday night. The subject was "Sixteen years of the lecturer's dissipated life under the in- fluence of strong drink." The lecture was amusing and interesting, and showing at the same time what strong drink will accomplish. At a meeting of the Executive Com- mittee of the Diocese of Huron, lately held in London, it was decided to re- organize the neighboring parishes of Kirkton and Biddulph by uniting St. Patrick's Church, Biddulph, with St. James Church, Clandeboye--the clergy- men to reside at the latter place; and connecting Granton and Prospect Hill with Kirkton, the clergyman to reside at Kirkton or Granton as may seem best. All parties interested have been notified to appear for their interests in London at the next meeting of the Ex- ecutive Committee, to be held on the 17th day of June,—when (if no objec- tion be offered) the foregoing arrange- ment will be confirmed Easter one week from Sunday.

GnniG, Sec'y Taking Care of the Widows. A'bill introd uced by Attorney -Gen- eral Mowat is intended to amet,d the law so as to secure for widows of per- sons dying intestate and without chil- dren a reasonable share of the hus band's estate. Heretofore a .childless widow could only claim on -third of 'her intestate husband's property, his rela- tives coming in for the tions share. This has been found to work hardship, and the amending law provides that in such cases where the estate is not worth over $1,000 it shall go to the wid- ow absolutely and exclusively; where the yalue is over $1,000 she shall be : n - titled to $1,000 absolutely, and in addi- tion the same interest in the residue as she would have if it had been the whole of the estate and the amending act had not been passed. Wheat Gone up. Student of the markets reports dur- ing the past week or so will have no- ticed that the price of wheat has been on the rise. It will be welcome news not only to the farmers but to merch- ants to know that the price is still go ing up. This theory of a further rise is strengthened by the fact that millers all over the province are buying up large stocks of Manitoba and other wheat''for 'May and June delivezy. From this it would seen that they sus pact a considerable increase in the price and are anxious to secure their stock while grain is at the present 'low price. Should this theory become a reality it will go far towards relieving the financial stringency under which farmers and merchants are laboring. Competent authorities also state that should the price of wheat keep up there will be a very considerable increase in trade with Manitoba when navigation opens. An Important Dill. An important bill, which practically wipes out mechanics' institutes by con- solidating them into public libraries, was given a separate reading in the Ontario Legislature on Weeuesday. It is a lengthy act. It provides that the board of management shall consist of the mayor, three persons appointed by the council, three by the public school board, no member of any appointing body being eligible. The board must meet at least once a month, and as often as they like. The board may establish branch libraries, and may open "even- ing classes for artisans, mechanics and workingmen, in such subjects as may promote a knowledge of the mechani- cal and manufacturing arts." All lib raries, reading -rooms and muieums established under this act shall be open to the public free of charge. A provis- ion provides that contiguous munica• palities may "enter into an agreement with the board of management for the use of such library, and for such rep- resentation on the board as may be deemed expedient." Teachers' .itisti tutes may become entitled to one rep- aesentatie e an the board by transfer- ring their books to the library, and the members of the institute shall in that. cane have equal rights With the resi- dents of the municipality in the use ,of the library. The Government grnt will be one dollar for each dollar 'spent by the board of management in the purchase of books and papers, the lim- it being $200 for books in cities and $50 for papers and magazines. The janitor is to be a speeial constable, on the order of the County judge. These are the essential features of the bill, There will be found below a compar- ative statement of the results of the Ennumeration at the Exeter Post, Of- fice for the week commencing Sunday, March 17th, and ending Saturday the 23rd with that for a like period in March, 1894.

The Spring Millinery opening is an event to which the ladies,old and young look forward with some degree of anxi- ety and a greater degree of pleasure, and Exeter ladies are no exception to the general rule. All Friday and Sat urday afternoons as well as evenings our streets were thronged with the fair sex, wending their way to the various. millinery exhibits on a tour of inspec- tion. We are safe in saying all the Exeter dealers have made a great ef- fort to secure all the latest patterns and designs that "dame fashion" has supplied for the cowingSseason. Chief among the models shown are Boyer, Poyzaum, Paul Virot, Heitz, Faulkner, Maugiu, Maurice and Berthe.

The monthly meeting of the South Huron Ministerial Association was held on Monday afternoon in the James Street Methodist Church, the President, Rey, W H. Butt, in the chair. After the opening exercises, the minutes of the last meeting were read and adopted. Arrangements were made for the June meeting, when the Rev. (W. H. Butt is expected to give a sermon from the text, "To the pure all things are pure," and Rev. G. Jackson to prepare a paper on Spiritualism. On motion of Revs. C. Fletcher and W. M. Martin the fol- lowing resolution was unanimously car- ried with many expressions of sympa- thy from the members present, "This Association at this meeting express sympathy with Rev. H. W. Locke and his people in the serious loss sustained by them in the recent burning of their church, and praying that the Divine Master may in his wisdom and love turn this disaster to their spiritual ad- vantage and guide and direct them as to their future course." Rev. C. Fletch• or then gave a sermon on the text, "Blessed are the pure itt heart for they shall see God." The sermon on the mount, he said, was an inaugral ad- dress, or "a spirit from the throne," as it had been called. It was treated un- der three heads, The promise on which happiness was based,°The condition of seeing. God, and The result and pleas- ure. After a few remarks on the above discourse, the meeting adjourned. Methodist Union. The following is the reply of the Official Board of the James Street Methodist Church to the proposition from the Board of the Main Street Methodist Church. Resolved that we assure our brethren of Main Street that we have received their proposition most cordially and have given it our most careful consideration; and we further assure them that we are in favor of a union of the two congregations, if itcould be effected without the sacrifice of too much of the material resources and moral influen- ces of the two churches and it seems to is the only Way to 'prevent that, would be, for the congregations to amalgamate. for the present in the joint and common use of the James Street property, keeping steadily in view the erection of a new church in some central location, between the two preterit sited- Hind that such be built as soon as it may seem expedient to the collective wis- dom of the newly formed Board of the united congregation. And we further re- commend in order to the establishment of confidence that a site be selected by a prop- er committee as soon as the two societies decide to untte, and that steps be taken at once to secure funds for building, and that this reply be forwarded by the hand of brethren, Peter Frayne, Chas. Snell and Thos. Gregory on behalf of the Board. Personal /Mention Messrs. B. S. O'Neil and A. Q. Bobier were in London. Friday last on business in connection with the church. --Rev.' E. W.
