Kinsman's change of "ad' Bn this issue, Only 21 days until Christmas and 27 days left in 1896. Mr. Geo. Webber and.family moved into the residence opposite the Weekes Marble Works this week. Two dealers in Stratford wore fined 410 each, and costs, for selling cigar- ettes to minors. The much missed electric lights were again set in operation on Sunday night Le the satisfaction of all. The collection taken up at the Thanks- giving Day service in aid of the poor of the town amounted to over $12, Col Lazier has been commissioned to investigate charges of political par- tisanship against Postmaster Farrow, of Brussels. Dr. Willoughby will deliver the last of a series of sermons to the young .men. next Sunday evening. His sub- ject will be " The Anchor." Owing to the absence of the Reeve and Deputy Reeve who are at Goderich, the meeting of the Council will not be held till Saturday night. A reward of $50 is offered for infor- mation of the whereabouts of Samuel .Parkinson, who mysteriously disappear- ed. on Nov. 18th. The prayer meetings in the James Street Methodist Church, an Tuesday afternoons, are being well attended and are the resalt of much good. The festive turkey is not so numer- ous or aggressive as he was before Thanksgiving, but dyspeptic stomachs make up for the deficiency. The Methodist churches in town have been applied to for boxes of clothing to supply the Munsey Indians, under the charge of the Rev. Mr. Mason. Messrs.Weekes Bros. have just placed in. the Exeter cemetery a handsome granite monument erected in memory of the late Mr. and Mrs. Rich. Manning. It cost a Mitchell hotelkeeper some where about $40 for entertaining a few friends to oysters and a bottle of ale in his kitchen, on Saturday evening 14th ult. Mr, W. H. Sanders, con. B, Stephen, has moved into his fine new brick house. We will not be at all surprised to hear some day of an addition to the household. t The date of the Masonic "At Home" ,,has been changed to that of Tuesday c ening, Dec. 29th, instead of Wednes- dy the 30th Invitations will be is- sued in a few days. There has been good skating on the river the past few days. We would advise those indulging in this pleasant pastime to exercise care as the ice must be thin in sheltered places. The Anniversary . nary services, of the 1€ lain St. Methodist Church will be con- ducted by the Rev. Wm. McDonagh; a former pastor, on Sunday next. The usual tea meeting will follow on .Mon- day night.,? It is said that the four Winghana 4,' Whitecaps," at present serving terms in, the peifirentary, have had their sentences reduced on the strength of application from 'V ingham citizens, "rt the expiration of one year's impris- onment they willbe allowed their lib Two are married and two un- married. From all parts of the country come reports of hockey clubs being organized The interest in the game appears to be keener than ever and there is no doubt but it will be a popular amuse- ment the coming winter, What is the matter with the Exeter team :? Drs Rollins S, Amos, assisted by Drs. McLaughlin, Campbell and Steinbach, performed an operation on a daughter of Mr. Thos. Amey, Sr., of Stephen for the removal of diseased ovaries. The operation was successful and the pa- tient was doing well at Iatest reports, The following changes in the 33rd (Huron) Battalion are gazetted. No. 6 Company, Exeter, Provincial Lieuten- ant Lewis Henry Dickson, is permitted to retire. No. 8 Company, Gorrie; Capt. John Koine, is permitted to resign his commission and to retain the rank of captain on retirement, The illustrated lecture on places of historical and renowed inter-st in Europe, Asia and Africa, given by 111essrf. Haggith and Butt, in S S. No. 5, Stephen, on Monday evening last was very poorly attended, although the lecture was decidedly good in every respect, and deserved a good audience, Slowly but surely the municipal pot is beginning to boil. As will be seen elsewhere in our columns Mr. T. B Carliug is in the field for Reeve. T. B. has been a faithful servant of the town for a number of years and we think he is justly entitled to a renewal of the confidence of the electors for another term. Oa Wednesday last Bailiff English, of the Central Prison, came up oa the 1.50 train and at 2.30 left with "Tab" Craig in charge. Since his sentence Tab has been quite frolicsome in the jail here, but from the reputation of the Central's discipline he will for the next 23 months have little time for play.— Goderich Star. One of the easiest ways to make peo- ple go abroad to trade is to neglect ad- vertising at home. As a rule, people who send away for goods or go out of town to do their shopping, do it be- cause of the bargains advertised by merchants in other towns, or because they see things advertised that they think local merchants do not keep. Mr. J. H. Jameson, township clerk of Blanshard, is in receipt of a letter from General Manager Hays, of the Grand Trunk, in which he says he has given instructions that an automatic electric bell be placed at Shoebottom's crossing as a caution against danger by passing teams. These bells are in use on the crossing of streets in towns and cities and ring on the approach of all trains to the crossing. The following is told of a young man in one of our neighboring towns who is addicted to the cigarette habit. He had smoked 1,200 packages and wrote to the manufacturers to know what they would give him for 1,200 pictures that had come with cigarettes. The answer of the manufacturers was right to the point—" smoke 1,200 more and we will send you a coffin. An exchange tells of a dog which has eaten up a farm and all its build- ings. The cur killed a neighbor's sheep. The neighbor offered to call it square if the dog was killed. The dog's mas- ter refused to agree to this, and a law suit came next, To pay the costs and damages assessed by the court the own- er of the dog had to mortgage his farm. The mortgage had a bigger appetite than the dog, and soon his farm was gone and the owner had to move away. A number of new books have been received at the Public Library, includ- ing "Kate Carnegie," by Ian McLaren; "At Agincourt on. the Irrawaddy", "Truth Cochrane the Dauntless" by Henty; "Clog Kelly," by_Crocket; "Rod- ney Stone" by Conan Doyle; , "Senti.. mental Tommy," by J. M. Barry;"Joan of Arc," by Mark Twain and over i a hundred other hooks have been added to the library.

Squire Leathorn, has leased his farm on the 2nd concession, Stephen, to Mr. Thos, Ballantyne, of Hensall, for a term of years who will move thereon at the expiration of Mr. Gilbert's lease in April. The hard frost of the past few nights is malting ice rapidly. The cold dip was so sudden that the small boy was caught napping and quite unprepared for the weather. When he wakes up skating will be in vogue. The entertainment under the auspi- ces of the Ladies' Aid, of the Presbyter- ian church in the Opera House, on Thursday evening last was well attend- ed and of a high order. Miss Roblin, of London, and Miss Burns, of Toronto, assisted by home talent delighted their audience most admirably. The com- mittee are to be congratulated on the marked success of the evening's enter- tainment. Hereafter it will be advisable for all parties (especially business men) to pro- vide themselves with envelopes contain ing their printed names, and instruc- tions to the postmaster on the upper left-hand corner of the envelope, as un- der the new post -office regulations, un- delivered letters will not in future be returned to the writer unless so ordered by printed instructions on the. corner.

Canadian Almanac. We are indebted to the Copp, Clarke Co., Toronto, for a copy of the Canadian Almanac fur 1897. This is a valuable edition and should be in every house- hold. Its size has been increased to 354 pp. Among the new features are a short History of Canada, giving the main events in Canadian History, chronologically arranged an Historical Dairy of the years 1895-96, and an in- teresting article on the King's Loyal- ists. The price remains the same as in previous years, namely, 20c., in paper covers and 30c. in limp cover. Shooting:lath, The shooting match held in connec lion with the Devon Hotel, Thanksgiv- ing Day was fairly well attended, but the shooters were better at shooting than at killing. Sides were chosen by Messrs. N. D. Hurdon and C. Hegnan der to shoot at ten birds each for a sup- per with the following result, viz:— C. Hegnander, 4 N. D. Hurdon, 6 B. Jones, 5 T, Rowcliffe 9 F.

The great rise in the price of wheat means hundreds of thousands of dollars to our Canadian farmers, Those who have held, their wheat up to the present time are the fortunate ones. The Mail and Empire looking after the interests of its readers, and having every source of information at its command, com- menced last July and has ever since been informing its subscribers that wheat would rise. Each week in the Mail and Empire the facts were given, and the advice that wheat would be still higher, and from the day of our first notification up to the present time the increase has been over 20 cents a bushel, The Mail has always been noted for its correct market reports, and for the thorough manner in which : it has always sifted out facts for the ben - fit of its readers. The present instance shows in a strong light the benefit of such work, and the great advantage a man derives from being a reader of The. Mail. You can have The Weekly Mail and Empire and the Advocate both for one year for $1 30. Send sub- scriptions to this office.

Balfour, of Amherstburg, hat drafted a number of amendments to the Liquor License Act, which he had submitted to the other Ontario Ministers, and which had obtained their approval. This draft, it said, has been completed by Hon. Richard Harcourt, the Provincial Treasurer. These amendments had not been contemplated by the temper- ance people, but were to be submitted to their deputation, as well as to that of the licensed victuallers, who were also to have petitioned the Cabinet. Among the proposed amendments is one which restricts the number of li- censes to one to every 1,500 of the pop- ulation, which would cut down the number of licensed hotels one half in most places. It is also said to have been proposed to shut down saloons al- together, and to grant no shop licenses. The Ontario Government, it is claimed, will introduce legislation at the next session, putting these new regulations into effect. Personal Mention Mr, M.
