If I happened to live outside the north pole I would call it my "home" and be ready to boost it up. If I could not say any- thing nice about it I could say that my ice bill `didn't come high.' I would not stay in a town that I had to cuss, not while the world is as big as it is now." About twenty-five of the young men of our village gathered at Mr. Wm.

Death of Mrs. Willis. The many friends of the family will learn with deep regret of the some- what sudden and unexpected death of Mrs. Thomas Willis, which occurred at the family residence, Main street, on Tuesday night last about nine o'clock, Mrs. Willis had enjoyed her usual good health until about a week ago, when she complained of being slightly indisposed. On Friday last she was compelled to take her bed and. the nature of the trouble manifesting itself more severely from day to day until the gravity of the situation was unmistakable, and lapsing into a state of unconsciousness she never rallied, passing peacefully to her rest at the time above stated, hemorrhage of the brain being the immediate cause of death. She was a native of England, coming from Cardiff to Canada when very young and sealed with her par- ents in the township of Stephen, where she made her home until about sixteen years ago when she moved with her husband to Exeter and has ever since resided here. Her maiden name was Mary Ann Smith. She was born in the year 1843, consequently she was in her 62nd year. Mrs. Willis was of kind dispositson, a good wife and mother, whose heart was in her household and by her death many have been brought to grief.
