To EDITOR OP EXETER. ADVOCATE.
We have during the past few days
hacl a very heavy snow storm and is
still pretty cold and very little signs of
spring. The farmers are getting im-
patient and the disappearance of the
snow would indeed be welcomed so as
to let thein. ou the land and into hard
work. There promises to be a large
acreage put under cultivation as there
are a great many new settlers renting
andi consequence 1
and buying n co se ence and is
going p iprice. Horses are scarce
as there has been a good deal of sick-
ness and prices are away up -good for
the seller but not for the buyer. The
"noble" red inan, accompanied by his
squaw,can be seen in the towns selling
baskets made of the small willows
which grow abcindantly on the banks
of the ravines. What a life that must
be. Living in a little tent or "teepe"
as they call it, hunting and snaking
baskets for a. living. Yet they always
appear happy and in ¢+'����e early sum -
trier they may be seen in lances on the
prairie digging snake root for which
they get from twenty to thirty cents
per pound. It is greatly used in pat-
ent medicines. Hoping the'next risme
I write the snow will havedisappeed,

Centralia;
Under this beading of our last issue
there appeared a very obscene para-
graph from the Centralia correspon-
deut, whose apology appears herewith.
The circumstance surrounding the
whole affair is too pitaable for refer-
ence, and the writer certainly de-
serves censure, but doubtless it was
done thoughtlessly. The paragraph
in question was sept to this office in
the usual way and appeared so matter-
of-fact like that it sway inserted in
these columns in good faith as news,
but it turns out to be sadly different
and the writer has been justly made to
apologise. The AnvocATE regrets be-
nne g made the medium of such so-
called jokes in which the characters
of respectable individuals are assailed
and we strongly condemn all such.
The greatest Ce is invariably
exercis-
ed
xdze -ed by the ADVOCATE in matters of
this kind mid we trust that none of
the friends of the injured parties will
think any the less of thein for having
their manges mixed. up with this affair.

APOLOGY. -I wish to correct a state-
nlent that appeared in the Centralia
items of last week respecting a sur-
prise party in which John Lingard's,
Andrew Hepburn, and Garnet Bis-
sett's names appeared. 1: declare it to
be afabrication. 1 did it thoughtless-
ly, for which I axn very sorry, and
