The law about to be introduced in
the Ohio Legislature should be one for
consideration by our Government.
They purpose passing a bill forbidding
the promiscuous distribntion, by patent
medicine venders, of pamphlets, ect.,
decribing' the symptoms of diseases.
The idea is a good one. In many cheap
medical pamphlets the statements and
cuts are enough to frighten a nervous
person into fits.
A suggestion of the Brockville Times,
which is especially interesting, relates
to advertising. The cbuotry merchants
are loudly complaining of competition
from the city departmental stores
Some of these very grumblers run no
advertiseineut in their local paper.
How do they expect to keep trade at
home? "The city merchant," says
the Times, "advertises and keeps on
advertising and hammering away at
the public mind with facts, prices and
qualities until he makes an impression
and sells his wares." Some Exeter
merchants would benefit themselves by
giving this suhjeet their serious con-
sideration,

ly good health Saturday night, and

Tbe Derrick, published in Gibson -
burg, Ohio, in referring, to the mar-
riage of Dr. L, T, Gill, says:—" Dr. Gill
located in Gibsonburg early last spring
and has won a host of friends by his
gentlemanly and courteous treatment.
He also enjoys an extensiye practice
and probably no young physician has
had greater success. We trust that
the Doctor has exercised the same good
judgment in selecting his life partner
that be has displayed in his business
affairs. The people of Gibsonburg
welcome the newly made bride to our
city. The Derrick extends its heartiest
congratulations to the Doctor and his
bride, and as they journey through life
may their joys be many and their
sorrows few. "
Ernest Hill, son of Mr, Geo. Hill, of
Stephen, had rather an unpleasant ex-
perience ou Friday last and for two or
three days after was in a very critical
state. It seems the lad, who Emu' been
working for Mr. Wm. Dearing, was out
in the stable attending the stock when,
it is supposed, he was seized with an
epileptic fit and was found prostrated
underneath one of the horses, It was
thought at first tbat he had received a
kick from the horse, but there was no
visible.sign of such and on regaining
consciousness he said such was not tbe
case He was removed to bis home on
aturday when a continuation of the
fits followed and it was thought that
be was going to die, but on Tuesday he
showed signs of a change for the better
and is now rapidly improviug. He
suffered in all tweuty-four fits.

Around About Us.
Farquhar: The farm consisting of
50 acres, farm stock and implements of
Thos Brimacombe were disposed of by
auction by T Cameron on on Friday.
The farm sold well, being bought by
Mr. Towers for $2,295.
Anderson: Mr. Albert Pym had the
enisfortnae to meet with an accident
while working in the woods last week.
While carrying a heavy pole on his
shoulder he accidentally fell receiving
the full weight of the timber on one of
his lees. Medical skill was called and
though no bones were found to be brok
en yet, his injuries are of a sufficiently
serious nature to confine him to the
house for a month or more.
Lieury; A highly respected resident
passed away on Thursday, Jan 28th in
the person of Mrs. George Robotham.
Deceased had been ill for a short time
and was SO years of age at the time of
her death. Her funeral on Monday to
Parkhill cemetery was largely attend.
ed, showing the esteem in which she
was held as a loving mother and neigh
bor. She leaves a husband and five
children to mourn her loss, to whom the
sympathy of all ga out in their 'sad
bereavement.
Tuckersmith: Anna Rautledgeldaugar
ter of Mr. Chas. Routledge died on Sun-
day evening last. Deceased had been
in delicate health for some time, but
was only seriously ill for a few weeks,
During her 'short life she had made
many friends, who will regret to hear
of her early death. The funeral on
Wednesday was largely attended, a
large number following the remains to
Baird's Cemetery. Much sympathy is
felt throughout the entire neighbor-
hood for the family in their sad bereave-
ment.
St Marys: A quiet wedding took
place at the present residence of Mrs.
Guest, widow of the late T. B. Guest,
Esq., M. P. P., on Wednesday. Feb. 3rd.
wheroher daughter, Miss Lena, was
united in marriage to A, W Ramsay,
Esq., Cashier of the First National Bank
Cheboygan, Mich. The ceremony was
performed by the Rey. W. J. Taylor,
rector of St. James, the youues couple
leaving for Port Huron on the early
evening train. Mrs. Ramsay has many
friends in St Marys and vicinity who
will wish herself and husband a long
and happy married life,
Lucan: The new mail contractor
started on his route on Monday morn-
ing. The centract price is 8299, which
must be a losing game. This is only
95 cents per day for each working day
of the year; out of this there are tolls
for a single horse rig of 15 cents per
day, or for a two horse rig of 30 cents.
Dinner and horse feed at London will
cost at least 30 cents for single rig and
40 cents for double rig. Thus there
will only be a profit on a single rig of
50 cents per day and on a double rig'of
25 cents per day. Whether there will
be business enough on the road to pay
the contractor is a question.
Mitchell: John Baxter, of the North
Ward who fell some weeks ago and
broke his thigh bone, died from his in-
juries Tuesday morning last, in the 82
year of his age. Deceased was bora
in Stocicworth, Lincolnshire, England,
and came to Canada upwards of 46
years ago since which time, with the
exception of about six months, he has
been a resident of Mitehell. He was a
quiet, unobtrusive man, unmarried and
lived alone until ten years ago, when
he went to the home of Mr. leSnowden
whose wife was a neice of his, and
who nursed and cared for him until his
death, with the same devotion as she
would her own child.
Seaforth: A terribly sudden death
took place in this town on Saturday
evening last. Mr. John Murray, second
son of Mrs. John Murray, Goderich st.,
left the house about seven o'clocls, with
the intention of going to the skating
rink. On the street he met with anoth,
et' young man, and they walked down
together. On the way they went into
Dick's hotel, Mr. Murray saying be
wanted to go to the water closet. He
hung his coat and skates in the hall and
went out to the closet, his companion
waiting for him in the sitting room
until his return. Not coming back as
soon as expected, the young man went
to the, rink. Nothing more was thought
about the matter by -any person until
about an hour afterwards, when some
person belonging to the hotel who bad
gone out behind found the poor fellow
lying on his face in the snow, just as if
he had -fallen as he was coming out the
closet door. He was at once taken into
the house, when it was found he was
insensible, Medical aid was at once
sent for and everything possible was
done to revive him, but consciousness
never returned and he died about one
o'clock. The deceased was a young
man twenty-nine years of age..e So far
as is known ue was in the enjoyment
of the best of health. He was around
town as usual on Saturday night, just
before going out ate a hearty meal
and seemed to be in his usual health
and spirits. It Was a terribly sudden
call and shows how true it is that " in
the midst of life we are in death."
