The London Advertiser of Friday, has the following account of the death of a former resident of Exeter: "Mrs. Janet Milne; mother of Mr. Jas. Milne, of 88 Dundas street, who died at her son's residence yesterday, aged 90 years, had been confined to the- house for a number of years, but it was only during the past week that she contract- ed the illness which resulted in her death. Mrs. Milne was the daughter of Peter Richardson, J. P., and was born at West Girnick, Roxbierghshire, Scotland, in 1809. After the death of her husband sixty years ago, she Game to Canada with her son, and lived in Dundas, Exeter and 'Woodstock, before taking up her residence in Loudon late in the sixties. She was a continuous resident of the Forest City for thirty years, and was very highly esteemed by all who had made her acquaintance. During her residence here she was a consistent Member of the First Pres- byterian Church, identifying herself with that congregation during the pas- torate of Rev. Di. Proudfoot. She was possessed of a very vigorous constitu- tion, as was evinced by the fact that less than a year ago she recovered from a broken leg (sustained by falling down a stairway), after her life had been despaired of." The Carni val. The carnival in the rink on Friday night last, embracing a: variety of of events, was well attended consider- ing the mild weather. The costumes were not numerous but were veryh good. The Exeter band was in attend- ance and rendered some choice selec- tions and on the whole a ,very enjoy- able evening was spent. The charac- ter drill entitled "Looking Backward" hi a number of young la.hes -was good, while the hockey match between the junior and senior teams proVed very exciting, the spectators keeping up• a Continue' uproar during the whole thirty minutes'play. Thelittle fellows had. the best of the game all the way through, and, while both teams work- ed hard neither teara developed much science. The senior team scored first geed six and a, helf minutes follow- ed by one bythe juniors in four an(1 e half minutes, thus making it a tie. The two mile race for the silver 'medal Was declared a draw. The jadges were Messrs. N. D. Ilvirdon, and C. !i. Sanders.
