As time goes on the prospects grow
brighter for tbe proposed new branch
of the C. P. R. to pass through this
locality and everything now points to
action in the matter in the near future.
This week Mr. Jos. Senior, town clerk,
received the following notice, dated
Jan'y 12. from Andrew T. Thompson,
the Company's solicitor: "The West-
ern Ontario Pacific Railway Company
will apply to the Parliament of Cana-
da at its next session for authority to
build a branch line from a point on the
Company's line at or near the city of
London, Ontario, in a northerly direc-
tion through the counties of Middle-
sex, Oxford, Perth, Huron and Bruce
to a point on Lake Huron, in the coun-
ty of Enron or Bruce, and for other
purposes.
Joseph Luker, a young man whose
home is near Thedford, was arrested
on the farm of Mr. Jas. Atkinson, Bid-
dulph, on Thursday last charged with
horse stealing. At a late hour one
night last week the accused entered
the stable of Mr. Frank Davis and af-
ter harnessing and hitching up Mr.
Davis' driver drove away.. He was
heading toward his home in Thedford
but finding the horse tiring left it on a
farm in Stephen. Suspicion rested
strongly on the accused,who, on being
charged with tate offence, admitted the
Ulnae and wag thereupon arrested.
He was taken befui'e uagletrates Far-
mer and Kay on Thursday last and
pleading guilty was sent to Goderich
for trial. The young man appears to
be suffering from some nervous trouble
and would seem hardly accountable
for his actions.
June weather in January is arernark-
able occurrence in. Ontario.. From
Chicago to New York and throughout
Ontario the thermometer registered
between 50 and 60 above. In Exeter
the day was bright and warm and ov-
ercoats were laid aside. The thaw of
Saturday and the rain of the same
night had taken away nearly all the
foot and a half of snow which fell on
Tuesday and Wednesday previous,
leaving the sidewalks nearly clear of
snow. Many availed themselves of
the chance to take long walks. The
river bridge was an attractive view
point for hundreds of people who were
interested watching the largely in-
ereased body of water rushing along.
The grass even began to look green
and reports come to us of people see-
ing snakes, toads and bees in places
usually haunted by them in midsum-
mer.
I wish to announce to the general
pubic that I have dispoed of my .Drug
business to Mr. W. S. Cole of -London.
For several years Mr. Cole managed
the Dispensing Pharmaceutical and
Toilet departments of W. T. Strong's
Drug store, London, which has given
him a thorough and wide knowledge
of the different departments of the
business. I desire to thank my num-
erous customers for the consideration
and support given me during a long
term of years, and trust they will 'ex-
tend their patronage to my successor.
Mr. Cole is a young man of good re-
putation and character, is an active,
progressive, thoroughly qualfied busi-
ness man and will be an excellent
citizen, I have arranged to remain
with Mr. Cole during the winter
months and shall be pleased to meet
old friends and customers in the store
as usual.— C. LuTz.

Death of Mrs. Wright,
A former Exeter lady, Mrs, Barbara
Wright, (nee Miss Horne) the wife of.
Mr. James Wright of Byron avenue,
London, died at her residence early
Friday morning, Jan. 19th. She was
in her 67th year. Deceased had been
ill for several weeks and tbe end was
not unexpected. She was born in Zorra,
Ont., and came to Exeter over twenty
years ago. While here she conducted
the millinery business, now owned ,by.
her neice, Miss A. Morlock, After her
marriage, some three years ago, she
resided in Point Edward until Novem-
ber last when they moved to London.
During her residence here she made
many warm friends who greatly regret
her demise. Mrs. Morlock of town is
a sister of the deceased. The funeral
took place to the Mt. Pleasant ceme-
tery on Monday afternoon at three.
o'clock.
sticks' Forecasts for January.
A regular storm period covers the
23rd to the 28th, Thursday, Friday,
Saturday and perhaps Sunday, the.
25th, 26th, 27th and 28th, conditions
will be good for many very active
storms and blizzards. The natural
order will be, first higher temperature,
low barometer, easterly to southerly
winds and rain; second, rain turning
to sleet and snow, with rising barome-
ter and winds shifting to westerly and
northwesterly; third, high gales from
the northwest, clearing skies and a
sweeping cold wave. Of course no
two of these phases of storm conditions
can dominate any locality at the same
time, but all of them may he in pro-
gress at the same time in different lo-
calities, the rains in the lead to the
eastward, the snow and sleet and
changing winds next following, and.
the high barometer and cold wave.
bringing up the rear. As a result of
the Moon's passage over the celestial
equator on the 29th, continued threat-
ening weather may run into the re-
actionary storm period, beginning on
the 30th and running into February
Walking and Running (food Exercise
Writing of exercise for children in
the February Delineator, Dr. Grace
Peckham Murry says 'When children
are nld enough there is no better exer-
cise than brisk walking. To be of ben-
efit it should be brisk enough to bring
the blood to the surface, and to expand
the lungs. Running increases the en-
durance. Systematic running should
enter more largely into the exercise
for children. Running strengthens
the heart, increases the breathing ca-
pacity and developes the muscles of the
whole body. • Like all violent exercise
in which children indulge, it should be
taken under the supervision ofa tea-
cher to avoid overdoing. An ideal
way tor children to pass the Summer
is in camps under the judicious care of
a teacher and guide who can enter into
the games and feelings of the boys and
girls. I believe in the same education
in these matters for girls as for boys.
They can then become acquainted with
woodcraft, botany and geology and
iiieteaise ital. health by tramps and
explorations. The primitive, which
exists in all, whether of younger or
older growth, has a chance to show it-
self, and it improves the health, for it
does not do for children any more
than for adults to he too civilized."
Presbytery of Huron.
The Presbytery of Baron met in
Willis church, Clinton, on Tuesday,
Jan. 16th. The session records for the
year 1905 were examined and attested.
The auditors appointed to examine
the treasurer's book reported that
there was a small balance to be carried
forward to the present year. The
same grants as last year were recom-
mended to aid receiving congregations.
Dr. McLean tendered his resignation
of the pastoral charge of St. Andrew's
church, Blyth, with, a view to his re-
tiring from the active work of the
ministry, on account of age and in-
firmity. Mr. Fletcher, of Thames
Road, was appointed to confer with
the congregation with a view to hav-
ing the resignation brought fully be-
fore the Presbytery at its next regular
meeting. Mr. Davidson presented a
report on Sabbath school work within
the bounds Which was on the whole
very encouraging. In connection
with the report, a conference on Salo-
bath school' work was held, during
which J. C. Robertson, of Toronto,
the Sabbath Scbool secretary, deliver-
ed an able and interesting address.
It was agreed to co-operate with the
Presbyteries of Maitland and Bruce in
bolding a summer school for S. S.
teachers and workers. It was agreed
to hold the next regular meeting in
Willis church, Clinton, on Tuesday,
March. 6.
