Mr. Welsh is having the old Sherbroke residence raised and remodel led. A. Kansas man has discovered that brandy cau be made out of wet saw- dust. Now, a discouraged prohibition. ist asks, what chance can a good cause have when a man can go forth with a rip saw and get drunk on a rail fence The Seaforth. Expositor says :—We understand that Mr. Geo. W. Holman, who has been clerk of the township of Usborne for about ten or fifteeu years, but who has been attending the Colleg- iate Institute here' for the past year, intends coming to Seaforth to reside, and has leased a residence from Mr. C. W. Papst. There died at the family residence of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Powell, yesterday (Wed) their eldest daughter, Ada Kate at the age of 15 years and 1 month.

Gerald Willougby, of Sar- nia, delivered his thrilling lecture on the North West Rebellion, its cause and conflict, in the James st, Methodist church on Monday evening last to a large audience. As a descriptive word pointer the Rev. gentleman pos- sesses powers second to none, and he carried his audience with him at will through all the scenes incident to the late rebellion. According to a statement made at the County Council nomination in Brussels, the products of Huron's In- dustria] Farm amounted to the follow- ing: Oats, 300 bushels; potatoes, 400 bushels; corn not all husked; turnips, 400 bushels; garden beets, 100 bushels; garden carrots, 50 bushels; garden par- snips, 25 bushels; onions, 15 bushels; apples 19 trees, 40 barrels; hay 1 ton; corn, fodder, acre; beans, 12 bushels; cabbage, 1000 head.

Peter Yorke, the Parkhill man, who shot his 15 year old brother Ernie on the morning of Dec. 31, is dangerously i11 and unable to leave his house. The crown has taken no proceedings in the case yet. It will be remembered that about 2 a. m. Ernie left his home to go to his brother's about 200 yards dis- tant. He rapped at the door, and thinking it was a burglar, Peter got a gun and fired a shot into the air, be- lieving it would frighten the intruder away. Peter afterwards started around the house, and seeing the figure ap proaching in the darkness, he fired at it. 'rho charge resulted in Ernie's death half an hour afterwards, Being unable to collect bills of long standing, Editor Slack of the Bristol, (Tenn.) Courier, naturally finds him- self short of funds with which to meet his own obligations. He makes a plain statement of the case and concludes a manly appeal for help as follows :—It is humiliating to me to write and pub - such an article as this; and damned if I had not rather stiek my arm in a furnace than do it. We know just bow the writer of the above feels, but all the same we advise him not to think of putting his arm in a furnace. If any roasting is to be done, roast the delinquents. The operation will afford them a hint of what they are likely to get hereafter. Carnival on the 29th. A carnival will be held in the Exeter Skating Rink, on Friday, Jan. 29th, Runaway.

The ministers in Exeter and sur- rounding district will be pleased to, learn that at a convention of Railroad passengelagellts held in Chicago a few weeks ago it was resolved to furnish all regularly ordained ministers with transporation at single fare over the Grand '.trunk, the Michigan Central and most of the railways of Ontario and Michigan. The resolution appears to be known to very few either minis- ters or railway agents, Rowe, Palestine and Egypt. Right Rev. Marice S. Baldwin, D. D., Lord Bishop of Huron, delivered a most iuteresting Lecture in the Trivia Me- morial Church on Thursday evening last on his personal experience and ob- servation of Rome, Palestine and Egypt, The Bishop is a peer among orators and this is said to be one of his master- pieces, It was a rare treat from every standpoint; his diction was beautiful and he placed the scenes of his travels vividly before an attentive audience with marked ability. Spend Your Honey at Home. Evrery dollar that you spend at home helps to make times for yourself and the whole community better. Every dollar you send away helps to make times in some other place better, It was the greatest mistake that was ever made, to think, that on the whole, you save money because you buy the article out of town a few cents cheaper than you think you can get it at home, perhaps without trying. If you have any regard for the prosperity and well being of your own town pat- ronize first and always as far as possible, all home institutions.• nigher Bates. The Joint Tariff Association have made a change in freight rate which will be of interest to business men. Heretofore the minimum charge for freight has been 25 cents. The new rule makes the minimum charge 35 cents. The rule malting the charge reads as follows :-1° No single package or small lot of freights of one class, classified first class or lower, will he taken at less than 100 pounds, at the class to which it belongs; and in no case will the charge for single consign- ments be less than 35 cents." This change became operative on January 1st, and extends to all roads east of the Mississippi. .Death of Mrs. Sutton. There died at the residence of the late Mrs. McCurdy, in Osborne, on the 15th inst,,Mrs. Elenor Sutton, wife of Mr. Wm. Sutton. It appears Mrs. Sutton, had gone nut to wait on Mrs, McCurdy, and shortly after her death was taken sud denly ill of congestion of the lungs and despite all that medical- aid could do, death took place on Friday night. The deceased was a resident of McGillivray for over 30 years but had been living in Exeter for about three years. She leaves to mourn her loss a husband, six sons and one daughter, all grown' up. Interment took place in Neil's cemetery, McGillivray, on Monday last. The family have the sympathy of all. .in their bereavement, Masqueraite Carnival.

Saterddesn Death, "In the midst of life we are in Death" is an old proverb which truly manifest- ed itself in the sudden death of Mr. Richard Harrison on Sunday night last. Deceased bad gone to the James street Methodist Church as was his usual custom and his familiar form had been resting in his pew only about five min utes when he suddenly gave a gasp and without a moment's warning instantly expired The sad event cast a gloom over the whole church. His body was at once removed to his residence and there prepared for burial. Deceased had been in declining health for some time, hav- fug sutTered on two or three occasions from severe strokes of paralysis. Mr, Harrison came to Exeter from Usborne several years ago and has been a resi dent ever since. His age was 74 years 10 months and he leaves a grown up family of two daughters and four sons. The funeral took place to the Exeter cemetery, on Wednesday and was largely attended. A Berlin Sensation. The Stratford Herald has the follow- ing concerning a former resident of Exeter:—Quite a sensation was nreated in Berlin on Saturday afternoon when it was reported that Abel Walper, pro- prietor of the Walper house, and who is a prominent citizen, was dying as the result of a blow he received at the hands of Daniel Williams on Thursday. Williams bas the management of Mr. Waiper's livery stables, with offices under the Opera House. Mr. Walper had taken exception to the conduct of Williams lately, and had frequently protested, with seemingly little effect. On Thursday the two got into a dis puce in the livery office, which became very heated. Mr. Walper, it is said, flourished his cane threateningly. Williams was afraid the old gentleman would strike him, and grabbing the heavy weapon, he dealt Mr. Walper a resounding blow over the head caus- ing a cat which extended down over his forehead and eye. Some one who had been attracted by the noise then stepped in and held Mr. Williams while Mr, Walper, who had fallen to the floor, was raised into a chair. Dr. Arnott was quickly on the scene, and put a number of stitches in the cut, and then Mr. Walper was taken to his home. Dr. Arnott says that while Mr. Walper's injuries are dangerous they will not likely prove fatal unless other things set in, and the patient is quite an old man. Mr. Williams says he struck only in self-defence. He will not likely be prosecuted. His wife is lying dangerously ill at the hospital. Personal Mention Mr. Thos. Acheson was in Londan, Friday on business. Miss Mame Sanders has returned home from. Stratford. Miss Amelia Bradt, of Parkhill, is visiting friends in town Mrs. Heaman, Carling Street, is at present very ill. Mr. Wm. Drew, is confined to the house through illness., Mr. J.

Mr, John Hyndman, who has been in Manitoba for some months returned. home Thursday. Mrs, Frayne who was reported as being dangerously ill last week, is slowly improving. Miss Smith,who has 3ompleted another millinery season for Mr. E. J. Spack- man, returned to her home in Seaforth last week. At the convention of the Dominion Creameries Association, held at St. Marys last week, we notice that Reeve A. Q. Bolster, was elected as a director of the association. Mr, John Welsh, of Grand Bend, was in town Saturday on business in con- nection with petitioning the Dominion Government regarding the iieenseing of nets for fishing purposes along Lake Huron. He expresses an opinion that the fishing in the vicinity of Grand Bend is being greatly injured by fish- ermen stretching nets across the out- let at Poiut•Edward and thus `prevent- ing pickerel and sturgeon from coming upinto the lake. The Go ernment o v should inquire into matters of this. kind. CA11LI14G MHOS.
