The township of Logan has put in a claim of $460 against the town of Mitch- ell for allowing the smallpox patient, Seebach, to pass through there after his condition had been' discovered The town will no doubt haye to pay the claim, The St. Marys Journal says the item in the Exeter Times with reference to a writ being issued against `he Coe poration and Mr. Elliott, of St. Marys, to restraiu them from going on with the proposed granohthic wall;, is mere- ly a game of bluff. A meeting of members and pew hold- ers of Main Street Methodist church was held in the Opera Hall ou Monday night last, to discuss the pros and cons relative to union with the James street church, when it was decided by vote not to unite and that they would re- build.

On Saturday last Master Willie How- ard, son of E, S. Howard, had an ex perience which almost proved fatal. The little fellow was playing the in en- gine room of the planing mill, when his clothing caught in the grinding stone gearing, and was slowly wound around the shaft, when his screams alarmed, Mr. Will Howey who ran to the rescue and .lust as the boy was be- ing turned around the second time, ex- tricated him. It was certainly a nar row escape for Willie. The Seaforth Expositor says: A very peculiar and unusual weather pbenom enon occurred in this town on Monday last week, in what appeared to be a shcwer of black snow. It was particu- larly noticable on washings hung out that day, the clothes being covered with ink., looking spots, which in some eases necessitated a second washing. Reports from other places show that the black shower was not confined to Sea - forth. but yisited several places both to the north and south of us. Mr. B. Aubry, horsebuyer, of Montre- al narrowly escaped serious injury on Monday morning last. While waiting at the Exeter depot to take the; south -bound train he stepped into Mr. W.B.Levett's storehouse to buy a load of oats, meanwhile the train pulling in, and in his hurry to catch it, accidently slipped from the plat -form and fell to the bottom, a distance of several. feet, on the broad of his back onto a post that was protruding out of the ground, Gather fug himself up the best he could he managed to reach the train, but the shock he received must have, been severe, It is to be hoped his injuries will nut prove serious. There was a fair and enthusiastic at- tendance at the Cricket Club meeting on Friday evening last, when the fol lowing officers were elected, viz:—Hon. Pres., Dr. Lutz; President, W. G. Bis sitt; Vice Pres. E.E. Ward; Secretary, P. L. Bishop; Treasurer, E. Elliott; Com- mittee, Dr, I3yndman, Jr., I. R. Carling and C. B. Marstarid.

All those who wish to become members of the Club may do so by paying an entrance fee of $2,00 which entitles all to the same priveligcs as the picked eleven.

Trott is having an addition put to his house, also Mr. James Beer is erecting an addition. The warm rains of Sunday night was indeed very acceptable and conse- quenty vegetation has made a start.

Hunt of Exeter conduct ed the service in St. Paul's church on Sunday morning.

During the past week carpenters and masons haye been engaged in making some changes in the interior of J. P. Clark's Dry good store. Mr. Clarke hi forms us that he is not making room for another line of goods, but the change is more for the various lines he already carries, occasioned by an in- crease of trade. Mr. T: A. Brown, who taught the Exeter Public School for four years, has been appointed teacber of music in the Stratford Public Schools at a very re- munerative salary. The peopleof Strat• ford have secured in Mr. Brown a first class teacher, fully conversant in the art, and without a doubt will be pleas ed with the results. His duties begin immediately after the Easter vacation. We congratulate Mr B. on the appoint- ment. The account has been published re- cently of the henious action on the part of the police of Victoria, B. C., who en- deavored to prevent a young lady of that city from wearing bloomers while masquerading on her wheel, Wehope that no Exeter young lady will be hindered, by the action of the Victoria policeriian, from donning her brightly tinted bloomers during the coming summer. Our bashful Chief could not find it in his bosom to bother a lady, even if the did wear the bloomer re- galia. For One Dollar. We have completed arrangements whereby we can offer the Toronto Weekly Mail -Empire one year and the Anvoce rn to Jan. 1st, 1896, for only one dollar. Now is the time to sub- scribe and get cheap reading. A Ncw Bonnet Essential. Speaking of superstitions one had almost forgotten there is one as old as the hills in which all women b( Neve to this day. It is that a person will have no luck for a year who does not wear a new article of dress Easter Sunday, It will be observed that it ie not nem. cessary to order an entire outfit. A bonnet, for instance, will suffice and if it is new and pretty that is su(iicient. It is not necessary that it should cost a whole week's salary. Store Full of Spring Goods r Wall Papers.

We heartily welcome Mr. Christie back to our busi- ness circle and his old patrons will no doubt receive him with their old time patronage. While we are sorry to see Mr Loadman out of business for the meantime, we hope he will be soon, once more located in some business in town.

Dr. Smith, of Mitchell, president, occupied the chair. After the chairmail .s address, Dr. Bethune was called upon to address the meeting upon the Patron's Medical Bill, and was followed by several other members, who all criticised; severely the conduct of the member for South Huron on voting with the'uPatrons upon that occasion, and agreed that a man who would sup- port such a bill was not fit to make laws for a free and enlightened people. A paper was then read by one of the members, and a lengthened and in- teresting discussion held thereon. At the conclusion the meeting separated to meet in Seafortli during the first week in July.
