Advocate,. the subscribers. who have heretofore bad their papers delivered to their homes or places of business, Will find their palters in the Exeter Pc'st Office: It is a a very difficult wnatterfora Carrier ,Boy to deliver the papers during the cold and stormy weather, and, even should he succeed in making the round, he is liable at tines, to miss an occasional subscriber, In order to avoid any such difficulty,. and believing that subscribers will be served more promptly and more regularly aind receive their papers in better condition. the above mena, tioned agreement has been made, Those subscribers interested will govern themselves accordingly.

Mrs. John Cookson, of Stephen, re- ceived word on Wednesday that her father Mr. John Brintuell, who resides at Ohiselhnrst, is lying 111 a dangerous condition through illness, with no hope whatever of recovery. The recent storm and the exceeding- ly cold weather succeeded in twisting traffic on the L. H. & B. ont of gear during the former part of the week. Several cars of hogs had been loaded at. Exeter and Hensall but as yet have not been moved out of the yards. On Feb. 8th the Official Board of Shedden circuit, London Conference, unanimously invited their present.pas- tor, Rev, \V. J. Waddell, to remain another year. At the same .meeting 131o. Andrew Haynes was unanimous- ly recommended as a candidate for the urinistry. The farmers around Blyth Kaye adopted a contrivanee for levelling the track for each sleigh runner to a width of 14 inches. It is made by attaching a piece of plank to the front reeve on each side so that it acts like a mould- board of a plow. This makes a hard track, does away with pitch holes and prevents the horses from crowding as they have a smooth, hard track to travel on. The following has been sent us as the correct solution of the "How old is Ann problem" which appeared in our last issue:—Now, Mary roust have been eighteen when Ann was twelve. for when Ann would be thirteen Mary would be nineteen, and so on until when Mary reached the age of twenty- four, Aun would have been eighteen, which shows that Mary is twice as old as Ann was wheat Mary was as old (18) as Ann, is now. . Notice has been officially given ;that an application will be made to the Legislative Assembly at the present session thereof for an Act i"ttcorporat- ing the St. Joseph and Stratford Elec- ted Railway Company for the purpose of constructing and operating by elec- tricity a railway in the city of Strat- ford and from said city, in and through the townships of Downie, Fullerton, Hibbert, Tuckersmith and Hay, in the counties of Perth and Huron, and through the Village of Hensall to the Village of St. Joseph, on Lake Huron.

One cannot mourn that death has claimed d hunt as he was. at most pita. able cripple and could only move around by the aid of as cart. He was in his usual inalth until `a few days previous to bis death when he. Was stricken down with la grippe and bu'b- segnelltly pneu n.onia which, soon sap- ped bis lift: away, Ile was aged 59, years and 5 months.: The f unei;il took place from the residence 01 Mr. George' Fisher, Sanders street, Exeter, on Monti a y. Rearrangement of 1 ooras in school. Owing to a lack of seating space in the two rooms set apart for the carry- ing on of High School work in the Ex- eter school the Board of Trustees'were forced to announce at the beginning of the year that no more applications for admission could be considered, thus confining the attendance in those rooms to the number then on the roll. Since that time the trustees have con- sidered the matter fully and decided to do away with one of the third -book rooms, to place all the scholars they could in one room and the remainder to be placed in Miss McCallum's divis- ion for the time being, that is, . until the promotion examinations at Easter; and further, to engage a teacher, gnaal- ified to teach commercial work,and have such teacher occupy the room rendered vacant by the above mention- ed change in the third -book rooms. This means that the Board gains a room for High School work' and at'the same time leaves sufficient noon for the accommodation of the scholars taking the junior work, the average attendance in the third -book rooms together being about 40. Of ' course the change made it unnecessary to re- tain the services of the two teachers, and according to the statement of a trustee yesterday the senior teacher was kept.• *The change, as far as the third -book rooms are concerned, took place on Monday morning last. .Mr.. O'Brien, of Alexander, has been en- gaged to teach the Commercial de- partment, his duties to commence af- ter the Easter vacation. Hockey Notes. Wanted. s or boarders.

We ex- tend our heartiest congratulations. Special Services. • Ash Wednesday (yesterday) was ob- served by a special service in the Triv- itt Memorial School Hall. Services will be held each Thursday evening at eight o'clock commencing next week, On Sunday evening the rector preach- ed on the nseof the Lentn season and earnestly invited the congregation to attend these services and also to make it- a trine of self-examination and . self denial. The Very Rev. Dean Davis, of London, and other well known clergy have promised to give address- es at these special Lenten services. Board o3 Trade Meeting. At the meeting on Friday night nine new members were added making the total now 35. The items debated were: need of new station more centrally lo- cated, endorcernei'it of principle : that assessment of frontage tax for im- provement on public property was an act of injustice, the appointment of controittee to findout how far the•law required such assessment, a decision to inquire into cost and necessary con- ditions of a successful canning factory, the adoption of the suggestion re im- provement of roads for winter travel, appointment of a committee to enquire into cost and regilirement of a canning factory. For S0lntloa Two successful hunters while "bunt- ing in the woods adjacent to Sedom, sbot a deer, and carried it to their. camp. Having no scales to weigh the animal they bit upon the following plan: Securingla.long pole they placed it over a low branch of a tree and A got on one end of the pole while B sat on the other end. They shifted the pole on the branch until the pole with the men on it balanced. A weighs 130. pounds, and Jia weighs 100 pounds.,. Leaving the pole in the same position. the men change ends, A placing the deer on Ilia end with himself, Again it balanced What was the weight of the deei'P "Entirely satisfactory" was the ver- dict pronounced by the few who pat- ronized the hockey match in the Ex- eter rink on Thursday night last when the Ailsa Craig team and the local seven came together in a friendly ex- hibition game, which resulted in favor of Exeter by a score of 7-5. The game was coinparatively free from rough- ness and was fast all the way through. Some clever work was indulged in by both teams and pretty combination play at times proved very effectual. During the greater part of the time the puck hovered around the Craig goal, which was brilliantly defended. The score at half time stood 3-2 in fav- or of the home team. Mr. Rosser, of Ailsa Craig, refereed. The, only un- satisfactory thing about the game was the smallness of the crowd in attend- ance. A small expenditure (about. $13.50) was necessary to bring on the game, The weather was favorable, the trains were on tithe, the gamewas well advertised and the admission fee was small, but nevertheless there were ,less than 100 present, and the receipts at the door amounted only $7.30. They were all white people who were pres- ent and they cheerfully made up the amount of the expenditure. It is. ex- ceedingly disappointing to those in- terested in sports of a legitimate nature that their efforts to further hockey in town meet with so little encourage- ment from the people.—Clinton and Ailsa Craig played a game on Wednes- day night in Clinton. The score was 7-4 in favor of the visitors. -The Ailsa. Craig team lined up as follows: Goal, W. Alexander; Point, D. McLean; Cov- er Point, H. W. Morgan; Forwards, B. White, P. Parker, A. White, 0, Alex- ander. They, together with those who accompanied them on the trip, were a gentlemanly lot of fellows, and no word can be said against them as re- gards their conduct ori and off the ice. —The Hensall Observer of last week said: "Owing fo lack of steam or cour- age the Exeter liockeyists failed to put in ttn .appearance on Thursday night and our boys were very mueb` disappointed as were also. some who drove from Clinton towitness the game. Had the Exeter boys been sure of .victory they world surely have made a special:effort'to reach here even though it was snowing and blowing.." The article had reference to the .fail - tire of the Exeter Junior teaiiu to go to. Hensall on the night in question, ow- ing to the exceedingly stormy weathe er. The game was postponed until Monday night of this week—perhaps the coldest and stormiest night during this particularly cold and stormy win- ter, the thermometer registering about 12' below zero, The Juniors certainly. showed no lack of steam, courage or confidence when they drove to Hensall that night and succeeded in trimming. their opponent to the tune of 7-1, in it. game that was fast from start to fin- ish. These were nights on which any team might default and not deserve to have it hinted that they showed the white feather. However the result is entirely satisfactory to the .Ionones, who are putting tip a good game this season. So far Exeter has won two out of three glories played With Hen- snll, The teams have arranged for two more games, home and home. Miss May Snell is visiting friends in London. AIL.

J. Hart, to Mr. Howard Ferguson of. Toronto. After biddingtheir,friends adieu, they departed'amid showers of rice and old shoes, for St. Marys, to take the five o'clocktrain for Toronto where they will reside. Their Woodham friends wish them every happiness. Miss Stephens has been a great help to the. Sabbath school, presiding as organist for some time, she was also a member of the church choir.
