This is a custom only prevalentin metropolitan towns," Yes, we are a metropolitan town and a good healthy one at that and . that is more than the Post can say of that long since dead hamlet. . How- ever, we would invite Bro. Donnelly to a consideration of the fact that with. all our metropolitan ideas that we would no more think of going to Park - bill for municipal advice erinstrnction than we would think of asking them about the subject of town cleanliness. In drunken brawls and row dyisrn in bigh degree that town could teach us much but town improvement, nothing. RICES' FORECASTS FOR JUNE. A reactionary storm period will be central on the 12th and 13th. The temperature will rise greatly, and the barometer will fall to storm readings on and touching the 18th, with many electrical storms in transit from west. to east. Normally the temperature will fall, the barometer rise, and cooler fair weather appear about the 14th to 16th, and such changes in modified degrees may appear; but the chances of continued thunder showers, with here and there storms of violent pro- portions, are good for many days. The next storm period is central on the 18th, and many causes conspiring within the compass of this storm per- iod, the chances for general, heavy and even dangerous storms are multi- plied greatly at this time. The crisis of this period will fall from about Sat- urday, the 18th, to Tuesday, the 21st, the storms centering more decidedly on and touching the 20th. The 23rd, 24th and 25th are central dates of a reactionary storm period. On these days there will be increased tendencies to decided storms—higher tempera- ture, falling barometer, growing hu- midity, all followed by storms of rain, wind and thunder. June comes to its close in the midst of a. regular storm period. This period is central on the 29th, reaching from the 27th to July 2nd. At the tinie of the June solstice our Earth is at the point of her orbit where, we may say, she reverses her direction, and her north pole begins to move westward, the currents become confused and variable, often driving sudden thunder gusts, and drenching downpours of rain, up from points of the compass from which rains do not ordinarily come. Clouds that have passed to the east often whirl sudden- ly backward unexpected, surprising ,and overwhelming .unwary localities with wind and torrents from easterly directions. In the nature of things June will see many showers and some general, hard rains, to most sections, but we do not believe that the rain falls will come up to the average, taking the couutry as a whole. This means that we believe• that some of the northerly sections will have a shortage of moisture be- 2ore the close of the month. We fear that there will be a shortage of moist- ure over much of the great grain pro- aluciag sections of the country during ahe summer season.

THE NIGHT, ' Landscapes, Versailles, old Italian gardens, Babylon pleasure haunts in mid -sky will not have surpassed the perfection of the Cascade gardens; jew- elled in the' very heart of the World's Fair, the golden dome of the Hall of Festivals gleaming aloft in the mellow sunshine, a thing to uplift the soul. Snowy statuary, ever ascending in in- creasing masses from the pool to' the skyline, the falling flood of Cascades, feathering into flisy lace and musical with the cadences of silver bells, weaves a spell of enchantment seldom glimpsed in the cold common -places of every day life. Yet night has her victories. In this reign of electricity nothing has man- ed- the necromancy of the master il- luminator. Every fertile resource of his science has been exhausted •to achieve the highest art in his nocturn- al treatment of the Cascade gardens. The moving waters and the flowers suggested a new thought. How to make the water itself resemble liquid fire was the inspiration of au instant. How to cause the flowers to become self -luminous jewels brought the in- ventor to his best efforts. Experi- nients with mercury vapor proved that the water might become to the eye a mass of opalescent wine. The new illumination was born. The opal fire retains its hues undimmed by zones of color thrown across the pic- ture; the flaming flood stretches with its single lustre through the bands of brilliant cardinal, cerulean and ame- thyst. Roses, Geraniums, Violets, all reveal themselves in their day colors. Persons sauntering along the Terrace of States, in front of the colonnade on the crest of the hill, may be bathed in royal purple, lower down along the descending balustrades they are en- sanguined in vivid red, while those hanging over the moments of the grand pool are mellow in orange. The Cascade gardens are an appeal to the five senses of man, Idling on the bal. conies of the terminal kiosks, amid glories of a night borrowed from the age of fable, the epicure may satisfy the palate while his ears are saluted by the music of the waters and the harmonies of the orchestra. The per- fume of flowers and trees freshens the evening air. The eyes behold the rav- ishment of the spectacle. The hand caress what be loves most. So the modern voluptuary emulates the pat- rician of Rome. THE CITY ON THE PLAIN. Day and night the vast city of palac- es lies in its glittering arc at the feet of the Cascades. For nearly two-thirds of a mile domes, spires and obelisks, form the skyline to the east of the Ter- race of States. Looking directly north from the Fountain of Liberty the full perspective of the monument court is revealed from 2,500 feet to the im- mense peristyle closing the picture. In traversing this distance the gaze is carried down the Grand Cascade, wid- ening in its descent from 80 feet to 140 feet at its final leap into the grand pool; then across 1,500 feet of water into the grand lagoon to the shaft of the Louisiana Purchase Monument at the intersection of the Court and the swing boulevard. Beyond lies 1,100 of the pink -gravelled concourse. The stately fascades of Electricity and Var- a =d Industries to the west and those of Education and Manufactures to the east flank the view. AIong the swinging boulevard to the east the visitor encounters Liberal Arts and Mines and Metallurgy, and to the west on the same avenueTrans- portation and Machinery. These eight palaces. form the symmetrical composi- tion of the main picture. Fine Arts, the only exhibit building on the wood- ed plateau, is veiled by the Hall of Festivals and the Colonnade of States. Half a mile to the west of theOaseades begins a secondary picture, including more that half of the entire exposition. Within the sphere of interest are plac- ed on wooded knolls the palaces of Ag- riculture, Horticulture and the Palace of Fish, Forestry and Game, the Phil- lippine reservation of 40 acres, the In- dian reservation and the authropologi- cal reservation of 40 acres, a sladium for the Olympian games, 100 acres for outside forestry and agriculture, im- mense stock pens and the reservation for foreign government pavilions. This great section is overlooked by the ad ministration building, a perm an- ent structure in the Tudor Gothic style of architecture, being a part of the group of buildings leased by the exposition from the New Washington University. (To be Continued.) Sarepta Mr. Robt. Gray, who, on Friday last was operated on for appendicitis, by Dr. Rollins, assisted by Drs. McLaugh- lin and Byndman, is, we are pleased to say, doing nicely, much to the grat. ification of his friends and neighbors. SCHOOL REPORTS. The following is the report for May for S.S.

A cor- respondent from that place writes: "The home of Mr. George Wilhelm was thronged on Wednesday with about 90 people, who had gathered to witness the marriage ceremony of his second daughter, Miss Ida, to 'Mr. Henry Schede, of Hay. The day was ideal; the hum of bees, the song of birds, the fragrance of flowers and the bright sunshine, all conspiring to make one feel happy. On the lawn a beau- tiful arch of evergreens had been erect- ed and it was here the ceremony took place which was performed by the Rev. Mr. Morlock, of Milverton. The bride was attired in a dainty white silk dress and carried a beautiful show- er bouquet of white roses. Her brides- maid was gowned in pretty white organdie and carried pink roses. The ceremony finished and the happy cou- ple heartily congratulated all sat down to a splendid wedding dinner, preprir-, cid and served in a very acceptable manner. After all had done justice to the good" things provided all repaired to the drawing room where the wed- ding gifts were laid and ranch time was spent here inspecting the various articles, which go to show that the bride numbered her friends as many. The evening was spent in social chat and varions games. The bride's many friends are sorry to see her leaving the neighborhood as her kindly disposi- tion made her a, favorite with both old and young, but we all join in wishing herself and worthy husband every hn ppitiess. Nino candidates for the Methodist ministry were ordained at London. Drysdale WEDDED.- St. Peter's church was the scene of a very pretty wedding on Tuesday when Mr. Peter Corriveau, el- dest son of Mr. Laurent Corriveau, of Filion, Mich., and Miss Josephine, el- dest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Regis Denomy, were made man and wife. The nupital knot was securely tied by the Rev. Father Loiselle, in the pres- ence of a large number of friends and invited guests. The bride was gowned in a handsome dress of white satin and cashmere, with bat to match, present- ing a charming appearance. She was assisted by her sister, Miss Matilda, who was becomingly attired in white cashmere. The groom was supported by his brother, Mr. Ed.Denomy. The ceremony being concluded the bridal party, accompanied by the invited guests, repaired to the home of the bride's parents where a dainty ban- quet was served. The bride is one of our highly esteemed and well beloved young ladies and it is needless to say that her departure from us will be keeuly felt. The popularity of the young couple was evinced by the bril- liant display of costly and useful pres- ents. Mr. and Mrs. Corriveau left on Tuesday week for their future home in Michigan. Your scribe, along with a host of well-wishing friends,oin in extending congratulations and. hope they may live long to enjoy the pleas- ures of married life. Hensall John W.

DIED IN WINNIPEG.—Word was re- ceived a few days ago of the death of Mrs. Reach, sr., which event occurred at her home in Winnipeg, Man., on May 28th. Deceased was formerly a resident of this section. She and her husband resided on the 2nd line of Hay till his accidental death when she re moved to town and remained here till a year ago when she went to Winni- peg. Mrs. Reitch was a devoted mem- ber of the Presbyterian church and was a woman much beloved by her numerous friends who had the pleas- ure of forming her acquaintance. She leaves a number of children and grand children to mourn her demise. The remains arrived here Monday and were laid to rest in the Hensall Union Cem- etery. •SAD DEATH,—As the river of time remorselessly bears us on to eternity, we have close and constant reminders that life's days are rapidly passing,and that the shadows of change and death are growing longer and coming nearer. Such a reminder has recently come t us in the death of Miss Bessie Lel eldest daughter of Mr. R. P. Bell, o' Seaforth, which took place at the resi- dence of her grandfather, Mr. Writ. Bell, on Tuesday. Deceased had been keeping house for her grandfather for some years and although not constitu- tionally strong, was a bright, active young lady, with a pleasing manner and kind, gentle disposition. On Mon- day evening she retired to her room, after•attending to her usual duties, ap. parently in her usual boil thand spirits. During the night she was taken ill and medical aid summoned, but des- pite all she passed away the following day, at the age of 25 years. Her sad- den death was a severe shock to her relatives and friends, by whom she was greatly beloved. The funeral ser- vice, which was held in Carmel church on Thursday afternoon, was very largely attended as was also the cott- age to the Rodgerville cemetery. • • • THE MOLSONS AN (Incorporated by Act of I'arlintnent 1866) Dead Office, - Montreal (JAl'1TAL AUTHORIZED $6,000,000 oaaITAL, FMD .IUP $3,000,000 RESERVE FUND • $2,8550,000 FORTY-SEVEN BRANCHES IN THE DOMINION • OF CANADA EXETER BRANCH MICE HOURS; 10 a. 10. to 8 p, m.SATURDAYS, 10 a. m. to 1 p, Rt, A GENERAL BANKING BUSINESS TRANSACTED, Farmer's Sale Notes cashed or collected, Forms supplied ori .application.
