E, Stephen: Master Arthur Sanders, son.of Mrs, John Cookson, had a large carbuncle removed from the "back of his neck by Dr. Browning on 'Tuesday last. The Presbyterians of Windsor are just now considering the re building of their church. It is likely a much larger church than the old one will be. erected, and the frontier city expects to be able to boast of having the finest church in Western Ontario. The idea is to have a gymnasium, billiard and pool room, drill hall and seyeral other things which are not usually found in connection with a Presbyterian ch .rch. Tile idea is Rev. Mr. Tolmie's. He does not believe in giving all the good things to the devil, and that if . the church tool: these matters up, and made them subservient to religion, they could be made a blessing instead of a curse.

To the Editor of the Exeter Advocate. DEAR Sim—Please give this letter and in your valuable ' paper a ad I have a few things to say in .con- nection with this union question, for there semis to be rumours aflcat,•whieh are not very reliable, and I think it is nothing more then right to give a thorough explaination of the whole of fair, then if there is any person that eau disprcve my statements they are at liberty to da so. As you are aware our church was burned on. Sunday morning, March 24th, 1895, and it was. arranged in a private way by the min- ister and some of the oliicels to hold a meeting ou Mouclayeof the two boards together, namely tete trustee and the quarterly boards co consider what was best to be done. I did not get any word. of this meeting,but heardof it by chance. Well, I went over, but did not stop till noon, but thought they would be through by that time, thinkiug•_ it would be all settled to build ou the old site. But after dinner Brother Ilowat•d came up to have me go over again that they were going to discuss the advisability of union with the James Street Metho• dist Church. After listening to the dis- cussions for some tirne, some suggest- ing one thing, sotne another, Mr. Pick- ard suggested that a committee be ap- pointed to go down free handed, to con- fer with the James Street Alicia' board to get some idea of the possibility of a anion and report the result to our board, but t his suggestion did not take. 1 suggested, for the purpose of having seemly, unsavory, ungrateful, uu- a definite uud:rstandicg right there grounded, un guarded, un manly, unjust, unasked for display of absurd stub- borness. I say if they had used their alliance to win instead of to drive, the greater part of us would have been with them to -day. Now, to prove my statements to be true is not hard to do, for in the first place they snatched the very first opportunity to vote down. the first offer James St. made that there should be no chance, whatever, for ee second consideration. Secondly, the last meeting' demonstrated very cota elusively the hostile spirit to union that burned away down deep in the heart. R. BLATCrIFORD, April 15th 1895, Main St. Exeter, Bethesda. This is not very good sugar making weather. We can eat the taffy about as fast as it is made.—Nearly every body is busy ploughing although the ground is soft yet. --The fail wheat passed the winter very well, and pro spects for a good crop are very good — The petition far the new post office has been forwarded and received at Ottawa. Soon we expect to know definately the result.—Mr. G. W. Holman, attended Mr. Delgaty's school examination, S. S. No 1, Stephen, on Thursday last and reports having a good time. He says Mr. D. has a splendid school and will no doubt show up well in the summer exams. Centralia. took the vote of the quarterly boat; giving some 8 or 9, two votes a piece, and they felt so greatly elated over this nice (?) little manceuyer that they actually went to work and, by •theft' figuring they mace It five to Oner'so it came out in the Times,—"carriedelve to one." You may imagine how I' felt, when 1 saw this statement in the Times—"Ce.rried five to one," I thought of all tee shams and mislead- ing, statements I ever saw,this capsthe whole, considering from whence it name - IF it had come from men who had no respect for the truth, or nien under the influence of liquor, I could make some allowance, but to find that it came from men that pretended to be some- body, I was best. I happened to meet with the Editor of the Times and I spoke to him about it, for I could not under- stand how 12 on one side and 6 on the other made five to one. I don't think he saw it very clearly, but he tried .tc explain it to me and referred me to a certain man as authority. Still 7 could not see it. So they gloried in their shank by having put in the paper asa triumphant victory. This brings me to the third and last scene, which wars too tragical for discription in the small space that .1 have, for my letter is much longer now than I intended Suffice to say that it must be indelibly stamped on the minds of all that beheld the de- plorable scene. The above is what I believe to be the facts of the case. And I will further say, I believe if the last meeting had been conducted in a, friendly, christian spirit, with courtesy and kindness, using their influence to win, instead of that domineering, me and then, so that there would be no fooling, nor hypocrisy about the thing, that a c ote be taken by our two boards together, then assembled, to see how we stood for uuion, awl if there was a ma- jority against union to drop it right there. This woald not work either, Now, gentlemen, I am going to say what I believe to be true, that there was a great deal of sham about this union affair with some of the members of our two boards, for they professedly made it appear that they were willing to go into union and at the same time bitter against it. Now, I say in the name of common -sense, why all this twisting and scheming. If you had done as I advised, the thing would have been settled right there and then, and we would have taken right hold and helped to put up a new church. But no, there was not manliness enough about them for that. But they thought they were smart enough to put ou the ap- pearauce of armourist arid to slip out untarnished; that we were such dupes we would never see it. So they went to work aid framed a proposition and made it stringent enough so to be pret- ty sure it would not be accepted at first reply. This is not only another type of Judas Iscarriot but two fold worse, for Judas did confess to his guilt, but these men never. Now, this brings me to the second part of this scene, which is just as dark as the first. Now, the aforesaid proposition was sent down by some of the members of our board to the James Street church board for con• sideration, and the Monday night fol- lowing was fixed for our board to as semble in Drew's Hall and James St. to present to our board their reply to the said proposition for our considera tion. I wilt just say here that James St, delegation came and read the reply and one of tnem then made a brief statement that they did not say that they would be final, so they laid the paper on the table and withdrew, and as a matter of course discussion on the James St. reply to the Main St. propo- sition began, which was continued for some time, until Mr. Denney aroseand made a resolution to this effect: That, as the James St. reply does not meet the Main St. Church's demands, resolved that we build on the old site. I don't 'titan to say this is the exact wording of the resolution, but it is the meaning. After this resolution was made and seconded, decussion continued for some time longer. Then a leading member arose to bis feet— yes,I may say the fore- most member on the board,—the same man that rose in his place in the first meeting, at the Town Hall—and strong• ly advised not to do this thing in to much hurry; not to decide too hasty,but to consider it very deliberately for it was a most yital question; that it de- manded much deliberation, for we were not only doing business for the present, but its effects would reach away on in the future. I say, that this same man spoke with consider- able fire in his words, professing that the James.St, people had not come up to the requirements of the Main St, and declared that he was ready for the mo- tion (sudden change about.) But some of the economist pleaded for a little more time to confer with the James St. people, and especially did the secretary of the trustee board plead for more time to shut it down, so abruptly, did not show a friendly spirit, but all to no avail. But the vote must be tak- en. Now, these two reverend gentle- men,'basked by Berne of the members of the boardl-•-east it looked like it—ar• ranged things very nieely to suit them- selves, They said now let all the tress teas vote first. Accordingly they took their yote and found that there were 8 out of 11 on their' side, Now, they saki we will tate the vote of the quarterly board. Don't you see, for the greater part of the trustee beard wore also members of the guax'terly board,so they Mr, Jones, of Strathroy, is visiting his son-in-law, C. W.

For nearly ten weeks he had been confined to his bed, with a wiry constitution, great tenacity of life and careful medical treatment it was thought he might recover, but a cont - plication of diseases so weakened ilitn that he finally succumhed on Tuesday morning, The funeral takes place to- day (Thursday) to Exeter cemetery, Wingham: It s, said that a smart young man from Kiucardide was re- lieved of upwards of $200 in a game of " poker " in town, a short time age.
