Geo, Jackson, of Ex- eter, chairman of the Exeter District, will be a very strong candidate for the presidential chair of the Loudol Con- ference of the Methodist Church which meets in Stratford on June 4th." A new game called the "Editor's De- light," is played this way, says a Wes tern exchange: Take a sheet of ordi nary writing paper, fold it carefully, and enclose a back note sufficiently large to pay all arrearages and one year in advance. Keep an eye on the editor, and if a smile adornes his face, the trick works like a charm. Now is the time to play the joke. Mrs. Wm. Rodd met with rather a painful' accident on Thursday last, She was going out in the yard when sud- dently she was thrown off her balance by a gust of wind and in the fall sprained her ankle so badly as to en- tirely lose the use of her foot. And to add still more to the unfortunate affair Mr, Rodd is lying in a helpless condi- tion• and not expected to recover. The adjourned meeting of the vestry of the Trivitt Memorial Church was held last Monday evening in the School House. Resolutions were passed ac- cepting the report of the Auditors and the financial report of the churchwar- dens; empowering the wardens to raise moneys to meet arrears of the Rector's expenses, and also asking the Exeeu- tiye Committee for power to consolidate the debt. The vacancy in the senior judgeship of Huron County was last week filled by the appointment of Mr. Jas, Masson, the well known M. P. for North Grey, Judge Masson was sworn in at Toronto on Friday last, just in time, it is said, to save for him the office, also of Sur- rogate Judge, which, by a recent en- actment of the Mowat Government, leaves that power fee to appoint some other person Surrogate Judge at lis discretion. Here is a conundrum that is perplex- ing the mathematicians of Philadelphia and vicinity. A woman took a basket of eggs to the city for sale. Upon be- ing asked how many she had, she re- plied: "If I take the eggs out of the basket two at a time I have one egg left. If I take them out three at a time I have one egg left. If I take them out four at a time I have one egg left. If I take them out five at a time I have one egg left. If I take them out six at a time I have one egg left, but if I take them out seven at a time I have none left in the basket. How many eggs had she in the basket? It is now reported that 1. H.

While Mr. Jas, Hero was engaged cutting wood in the swamp last Thurs- day the axe accidentally came in con• tact with his hand, and cut a severe gash about two inches long which will doubtless lay him off workfor some time. It required several stitches to close up the wound, Miss Sarah Phair, who bas been en- gaged in St. Marys for some time, had the misfortune to fall from the platform of a clothes reel on Monday last and in the fall sustained a severe injury to one of her arms, which will render her unable to work for some time.

The price is put low to meet the stringency of the times and to afford the chance of a large attendance, This concert is in aid of the deserving poor of our muni- cipality and the proceeds, after deduc- ting expenses which will be trifling, will be put into the hands of a compet- ent responsible committee for distribu- tion. At Home. The Epworth League of the Caven Presbyterian church held an "At Home" in the basement of the church on Friday night last. The affair was fairly well attended and the usual success accom- panied it. The program consisted of speeches, reading papers, answering questions and songs, all of which were rendered in excellent style, and were appropriate for the occasion. After the program was concluded refreshments were served which did credit to the skill of the ladies. When all had satis- fied themselves they repaired to their homes and many who, owing to the beautiful weather in the fore part of the evening, had come unprepared for rain, were severely drenched on the way. The admission was only 10 cents and thus the proceeds did not amount to over $7,50. The Courts. Judge Doyle held county court on Tuesday last for the trial of cases with- out jury. Only one case was on the list, that of O'Neil & Sons, bankers of Lucan, vs Sherrill O'Connor, of Bruce, and John Gentles, of Kincardine. The action arose thus: Daltrey & Hodgson, of Lucan, owned a hay press, for which in May, 1894, they gave a bill of sale to plffs. O'Neil, retaining possession and afterwards, while using it in Bruce, where they were pressing hay, it was seized by Sheriff O'Connor under an execution issued on behalf of deft. Gen- tles. The action now brought by O'Neil was for tresspass and conversion of goods. Judgement given dismiss- ing the action against both defts. with costs. R. H. Collins, of Exeter, appear- ed for plffs.; Loscombe, Q. C. for deft. Gentles and Campion, Q. C., for deft. O'Connor. Blow to Pay for a Bicycle, The entertainment held in the James Street Church last Wednesday evening was a success in every respect. Mrs Wright, of London, a worker in the Women's Outlook Department, deliver- ed an excellent address on the advisa- bility of giving the one-tenth of the income to the church. The musical part of the program consisted chiefly of missionary songs, sung by a number of the small children of the congrega- tion. After the program was concluded all repaired to the basement where a luncheon was served by the ladies of the congregation. A silver collection was taken up at the door and amount- ed to a considerable sum. • Many people are not aware that print- ers have a language of their own unin- telligible to the uninitiated. The fol- lowing gives an idea of the printing lingo: "Billy put Sir Chas Tupper on the galley and finish up that murder you commenced yesterday. Set up the ruins of Herculaneum and distribute the smallpox. Look up Laurier and slide McCarthy into the hell box and leave the pi alone until after dinner. Put the ladies form to peess and go to the devil and put him to work on Dea- con Fogg's article on "Eternal Punish- ment." Now this is all simple enough when translated into Eoglish, and not nearly so rough as the reader may imagine. Sarah Lee, probably the most eccen- tric of the House of Refuge inmates, died from pneumonia on Monday, aged 57 years.' The deceased was a native of Ireland, an Episcopalian in religion, and resided in this country about 50 years. She was admitted to the Home from Brussels on Nov. 11th, 1$95. News Record. The unique and lifelike appearance of four decoy geese in front of Mr. John Taylor's residence is attracting no little attention these days. They are made of thin iron and by the similarity pro- trayed by the artistic painting gives a very imposing appearance. It is an entirely new lawn decoration and is, in- deed one to be admired. The St, Marys Journal says:—"R, J. Switzer, of Rannoch, left on Saturday for Avon; near Ingersoll, to instruct a cheese maker there during the month of April, after which he takes charge of the Exeter cheese factory for Mr, A. Q. Bobier for the season. Mr. Switzer is a reliable young man who thorough• ly understands his business." The semi-annual meeting of the teachers of West Huron will be held in the Public School, Exeter, on Friday and Saturday, 22nc1 and 23rd of May, 1596, beginning on Friday at 10 a. m. In addition to the usual program Pro fessor Francis Joseph Brown, President of the Delsarte College of Oratory, To- ronto, has been engaged for the occa- sion. The Watford Guide—Advocate says Wash G. Collins, who has been in bus- iness in Watford for the past four or five years, removed with his family to Brussels this week where he has charge of a business.. Mr. Collins took an active and leading part in church and. Sunday School matters in connection, with the Methodist church and will leave a vacancy that will be difficult to fill. Ready -Made Clothing! Ready -Made Clothing! 1 Arrived A St. Louis man said the other day that he had long desired to become the possessor of a bicycle, but he had not bought a wheel because he could not afford the luxury. He had at last, after months of weary thinking, evolved a scheme which would give him a "bike" for nothing. .‘Yer see, dis is how it is. I buys a 'bike' on de instalment policy See? Well, 1 takes de wheel and takes a header and gets lame. Deaccident policy pays me twenty-foive dollars for the bruise. Weil, I gives it ter de man wot 1 buys de wheel from. When I gets well, I goes again and gets anud- der bump from de policy. Weil, by de time I falls off de wheel four or five times I'se got de 'cracker jack' paid for, and it costs me natttn, see ? Yer bet it's a great game and I'se got de nerve ter do it," The congregation of the Main Street Methodist Church celebrated their an- niversary on Sunday and Monday last. The weather was excellent—as pleas- ant as anyone could wish it to be—and large numbers attended the Sunday service in the morning, afternoon and evening, The Rev. W. H. Butt, of Centralia, occupied and ably filled the pulpit in the morning. In the after- noon the Sunday., 'School, instead of meeting; as they generally do to take up the lesson, all repaired to the main body of the church where they listened to addresses given by the pastor, Rev. Locke, and a number of the officials and teachers of the Sunday School. The pulpit was occupied in the even- ing by the Rev. Mr. Fletcher, of the Thames road, who gave au able dis- course on "Christ as the Model Teacher" dealing with the unsullied character of Christ as a model for others, and with His methods of teaching. Mr D. Ross, the choir -master had selected excellent music for the occasion and the choir rendered the music to the satisfaction of all, and did credit to their leader. The usual tea -meeting was held in the basement of the church Monday even- ing. A large number were present and by the way they conducted them- selves', an onlooker could plainly see that the tea did credit to the culinary skill of the ladies. After all had par- taken of the eatables they congregated in the upper part of the church and lis, tened to the program which principally consisted of speeches, songs and recita- tions.
