Mr. Bawden realized $10,- 000 for the whole of the estate, making a very handsome margin for himself by the transaction. On Sunday evening last a number of the, brethren of L. 0.

Walper, of Berlin, formerly cf Exeter, has heen offered the sum of $75.000 for his large hotel in Berlin, and that he will likely sell. The offer no doubt is correct but he has no intention of selling and probably in the near future may assume control of it again. Ask for Sailor Boy japan Tea and take no otner.

The granolithie pavement extenclin„0, from the Commercial House to Dr. Rol- lins' office, which has been in progress during the past few weeks was corn- pleteccon Saturday last. The work-, under the supervision and control of Mr. Elliott, of St. Marys, has been most satisfactorily carried out and reflects much credit on the centractor, Mr. Mc- Candless, the finisher, and the other workmen for their mechanical abilities. The walk is a good one in every par- ticular and one that our town may justly feel proud of. We trust the time is not far distant when we cau boast of a similar walk on the East side of the street. Mr. Elliott and staff have since been engaged inputting down private walks around town and also in Hensall.

The Detriot Budget has this to say of a former Exeterite:-"One of the finest drug stores in the city is the "Cadia lie" located at the corner of McKinstry avenue and Front street. Mr. A. Larre min, the genial proprietor, has had erected a building at the above location for his extensive drug trade, and be- ing a druggist of wide experience, will make a success of his business where - ever located. Mr. Lammie was for a number of years at the corner of Fort and Seventeenth streets': He has fitted up his new quarters with all the latest improvements." Another Pioneer Gone to.ltest. One by one the pioneer settlers pass from life to eternity, taking as it does many the brave and noble heart from our midst. This week we are called upon to record the death of Mr. John Hooper, Huron St., who passed away on Tuesday morning, at the age of 78 years, 9 months and 27 days. Deceased had been a sufferer for many months and death was a happy release to his long sufferings. Born in Devonshire, Eng., in the year 1816, be came to this country with his wife and family about forty years ago and settled on the premises on which be died. He remain- ed here for about' eight years, and dur- nig that time was an active member of the first hand that was ever formed in the village, after which he purchased a farm in the township of Stephen, being lot 12, concession 12. Shortly after moving from here his wife died, but about two years after he made the acquaintance of Mrs. Elliott, of Usborne, and doubtless thinking they were suit- eal to one another, were soon married. Remaining on the farm for about nine- teen years he again removed to town and made this his home till death claim- ed him, Deceased was a man of cora siderable means, was a devoted mem- ber of the Methodist church, and was always a firm believer in the principals of the great Conservative party, He leaves a wife and family of four sons and one daughter, -John and Albert in Penneylvania; Thomas in Rat Port- age; William on the old homestead in Stephen, and Mrs. Belknap in Oregon who is now a Nvidow.

" We are having ideal weather up here, crops never looked better, the old timers say the season is fully a month in advance of the average season, thus guaranteeing an almost certainty against frost. This Fall there should be fairly good titnes in the West." The above quotation is from a letter from Carberr, Man. Released From Penitentiary. The Minister of Justice has ordered the release from Kingston Penitentiary of Dauiel Whale, of Mitchell, who was convicted of wife murder at Stratford 4 yeses ago. Mrs. Whale was subject to heart disease, and this it is claimed, was the principle cause of her demise. A very strong case was presented to the Minister of Justice, and as a result of efforts put forward on Whale's be- half, he has been relieved from work- ing out his life imprisonment at King- ston. It is understood he has gone to Chicago with his daughter, Exeter Connell. Proceedings. Council met pursuant to adjourn- ment at the Town Hall, Exeter, July 5th.

Special aecomodation will be made for Sunday and Public School children at all points along the' road. See bills for particulars The Right to use Postcards. At Montreal recently Champagne rendered an interesting verdict in tha case of Ouimet vs. Robidioux The plaintiff claimed $50 damages because the defendant wrote him a postcard asking the payment of an account with threats of legal proceedings if it were not paid. The defence was that a post: card was a means of coinmunication authorized by law, aud that no malice was intended. The court maintained this plea and dismissed the action hold- ing, moreover, that no damage what- ever was shown to have been suffered by plaintiff. A previous judgement was rendered in the same sense some time ago. Important to Teachers. The Education Department has at Net issued the revised regulations regarding the •non-professional exam- inations for teachers' certificates, and copies may be had on application to the Deputy Minister of Education. In the meantime we are asked by the Principal of the Collegiate Institute to call attention to the following points: 1. Hereafter all candidates for a pri- mary certificate mut take botany and physics. They may, however, take one or more of the following -Latin, Greek, French, German'and the marks so obtained shall he added as a bonus to their aggregate, provided. they ob- tain at least mie third of the marks for such additional paper or papers. 2. Catididates who in 1895 hold a certifi- cate obtained under former regulations or who are entitled to write for a junior or a senior leaving certificate, may at an examination of 1896 or 1897 write for certificate in the subjects as pre- scribed therefor under the regulatione of 1893, and as defined in the regalia - tions of 18n5. Candidates not coming under this clause will have to take three lauguages or two languages and science. It will., he seen, therefore, that it is to the interest of all who 'synth to obtain junior and senior lea ving certifi- eittes to come into sehool next Septem- ber if possible. and take advantage of the old eurriculturn-Goderich Star.
