The presence of a robin is no longer doubted as many of them may be seen and heard this week, heralding the gladsome budding time. House-cleaning is occupying the at- tention of the good wife those days, while the poor man is forced to beat carpets and wait for his meals... Sugar making is now in progress. Every farmer who has any maple trees at all on his farm is making maple syrup. The weather thus far has been favorable. Mr. Wm. Mitchell has moved his farm implements from the building next to A. E. Pym's blacksmith shop to the building south of the Commer- cial House. Mr. Geo. Case, London Road North, while working in the sugar bush, fell out of a wagon and narrowly escaped serious injury. As it is one leg is quite painfully injured and he is forced to use a cane in walking. Mr. David Rowtcliffe got the point of the index finger of his right hand taken off by machinery at the Grist- mill on Friday afternoon last. The nail is lost entirely and the injury* is quite painful. He will be off work for a while.

According to an old Indian saying next Monday night there will be good moonlight. Don't miss. the Bengough concertGidley's Opera House, un- der auspices of Main Street League. Reserve seats nearly all sold. Come early and avoid the rush. The girls with the skipping rope and the boys with the marbles are much in evidence. It is an odd fact that both the rope and the marble appear later than they did in days of yore, nor do they arouse the same enthusiasm. Probably it is because we are out of the game. All interested in the good old game of baseball are requested to meet in the Town Hall on Friday evening next to discuss the matter and organize for the corning season. Considerable en- thusiasm is evident among the boys. and now is the time to decide. Let there be a good turnout. Mr. A. Bagshaw, who , left recently for the North-west, took ill shortly after arriving at Winnipeg and on the advice of a physician returned to On- tario. He is now ill of fever at the home of ,his sister. Mrs. Geo. Vosper, in Toronto. Abe's friends u ill regret his misfortune and will hope for a speedy recovery. Word was received last week that Mr. Wes. Welsh, who left here on Monday, had in some manner met with an accident whereby one of his legs was injured while on his way to Winnipeg. Just how it happened and the extent of the injury .we have nob learned, but it is understood that the injury will be only temporary. Mr. Thos. Bissett of the 3rd con. of Usborne lost a valuablemare on Fri- day last. He had driven -a team to town Thursday and was about to re- turn home when he noticed one of the horses was sick. He immediately con- sulted Dr. Ramsay and had the beast placed in his stables, where it died the following day. The trouble was sup- posed to be paralysis of the bowels. Among the farmers an interesting topic is the effect of the winter on the wheat and clover crop. It is difficult to determine what damage has been done by the unusual alternating mild and freeziogtemperatures of the win ter season. It is thought that small fruits and the wheab plant have suffer- ed considerably. Weather like the past week is very hard on the crops. Mr. Josh. Heywood informs us that the little advertisement he placed in the ADVOCA.Tts stating that be had seed wheat for sale brought him more buyers than he ooald supply. This is invariably the case with advertise- meats placed in tbe Advor:a.te. This is the proper course for a farmer to take when wishing to dispose of or to buy some article. The cost is small and the results great. The Board of health has issued and distributed saintary notices. This is the season of the year when cleaning up should take place in order to pre- serve the heath of the citizens and the neatness and beauty of the town. It would be well that the people be uin t ii of a pr n us in this regard and see that the sanitary izistruotiens be tarried. out to the letter and early.., Don't wait until the warn) weather ogles. Do it at once. Mr, S, Pardon, who has been indis- posed, is able to be out again, Miss Al000k entertained a number of friends Tuesday evening.

Walters purchased ha s . the _... dwelling owned by Mrs. Isaac Hamden on William street. Miss Edith Beers, late of Smallman Ingram, London, has accepted a position for the coming season with Mrs. W. D. Yeo. Mr. Thos. Bissett, Sr., has purchas- ed the old laundry building and is this week tearing it down, The material will be used in building a residence on William street. A meeting will be, held in the Town Hall, to -night (Thursday) at eight o'clock to discuss the advisability of early closing. All merchants are par- ticulary requested to attend. Miss, Cora Prior, who has beep en- gaged as milliner at Messrs. Jones Clark, discontinued her services Sat- urday night owing to failing eyesight. Miss Ella Heywood is filling the vac- ancy. Mr. Moses Gardiner has disposed of his twenty-five acres of land on Huron street, on the East side of the town to Mr. Wm, 'Westcott, of Usborne. lie has also exchanged his farm land in Hay, known as the Howard property, with Mr. John Rowe for western land. Mr. Gardiner intends going west next week. Mr. H. Buckingham shipped his household effects to London this week. The family left on Tuesday. Mr. Thos. Hawkins is now moving his effects to the residence vacated by Mr. Bucking- ham. Exeter regrets the departure of this family, but Mr•.Buckingbam finds his residence in London will be more convenient for him in his work. Board of Trade meetings were held in the Town Hall on Friday and Mon- day nights. Nothing of importance was transacted at either meeting. The meeting Monday night was called for the purpose of considering the Woollen mill proposition. Owing to the diversified opinion of those pres- ent no action was taken. To -day fifty-five years ago, "Cheap Postage Day" was hailed in . Canada, for it was on that day that a uniform system of postage rates came into force. Previous to that time postage was charged according to mileage, and as it was costly for poor people, only those who were compelled to keep up a• correspondence made much use of the mails. Mr. L. H. Dickson, District Deputy Grand Master of South Huron A. F. & A. M., accompanied by Wor. Bros. John McIntyre, Jos. Davis, W. J. Nea- man and C. H. Sanders, paid his offici- al visit to Britannia Lodge, Seaforth, on Monday night last. After the ex- emplification of the work by the offic- ers, which was most ably performed, a banquet followed and a right royal time was enjoyed by all in attendance. A debate on "Resolved that Women should not have the Right to Vote" took place in the H. S. Department on Friday afternoon. The affirmative speakers were Herbert Workman and Maurice Bobier, while the negative were Mabel Sparks ani Gertrude Thompson. The decision was given to the negative, the two girls having suc- cessfully argued that women should have a vote. The margin of points was small however. No 24th Demonstration in Parkhill. The Parkhill post of last week says:— "We learned ,rn Tuesday that the pro- posed races for May 24th have been de- clared off. The Turf Club have held several meeting for the purpose of making arrangements for some sports for that date, but were unable to se- cure the necessary support and as a consequence the plans have fallen through. We understand Exeter is already issuing bills for a big demon- stration for Victoria Day and it is thought unwise to push the plans here with a counter demonstration so near at hand." Through an oversight we omitted last week to give an occount of the re- cent ecent entertainment given in the Pres- byterian church on behalf of the Sun- day school. The program consisted of recitations,dialogues,solos, choruses and Magic lantern views by Mr. Jos. Senior. The views were very pleasing being illustrative of Exeter and scenes along the Thames in England. Sever- al views were shown in illustration of "My Old Kentucky Home," and "The Holy City," the former being sung by the choir and the latter by Miss Mar- tin. Miss Madge and Miss Rooke gave well rendered recitations. The child- ren were treated to some choice fruits. The congregational social- given in the Main st. church on Thursday even- ing last proved a decided success. There was a good attendance and all seemed to have the required "social feeling" which was the only admission fee. Rev. Godwin was ` in the chair and introduced a good progaam con- sisting of solos by Miss Beers and Mrs. Wickwire, recitation by Miss Hern, gramaphone selections by Willis Pow- ell, and extemporaneous speeches by different gentleman of the audience, tb whole of which was thoroughly en- joyed. Advantage was taken of the occasion to present a sum of money to Mrs. Keys for her sister, Mr. Searles, to be used in missionary work in the far east. Light refreshments were ser- ved by the ladies of the congregation. The sports committee on the 241b of May Demonstration had a second meet- ing on Thursday evening in Reeve Bob- ier's office to complete their business. A full list of morning and afternoon sports bas been arranged and the fol- lowing secretaries were appointed to take charge of the different branches: Morning parade, 1. J. White; Athletic sports, H. N. Creech; Horse 'Races; C. $, Sanders. The committee has not lost sight of the fact that the children must be entertained and liberal allow= ance has been made for them for both morning and afternoon. The list of sports will be submitted to a general meeting of the society, after' which it will be Made public.—A general meet- ing Will be held in the Central Hotel on Saturday afternooh, April 7th. It. is desired that the meeting he well at- tended as the satvesitl;t;c►ljllrliittees have` reports to make. ,A. pretty story is told in connection with the old, elm tree that was rece»t- ly, felled on the London Road. In brief it is this: Maiuy years ago a man and maiden fair used the old tree as a trysting place, They had been forbid- den to meet each other and had to re - sora to secret meetin„a s. The trop was the chosen spot and there their love making was done so successfully that they became engaged, married, and in prooess of time raised a family, meni- bers of which have held responsible positions in the locality. ` The friar nage was a happy one and the old tree shares in the glory of having made at least two people of this old world hap- pier, sweet—Mitchell A very quiet wedding took place at the rectory on Saturday, March 31, at five o'clock when Mr. Frank Sweet, son of Mr. James Sweet, and Miss Ida, Mitchell, youngest daughter of Mr. John Mitchell, all of town, were unit- ed in' wedlock by the Rev, R. 3. M. Perkins. The young couple were un- attended. On Monday evening Mr. and Mrs. Sweet left for Regina where they will take up their residence. The best wishes of their many friends go with them, The Advocate extends congra tulations, Hicks' Forecasts for April. A reactionary storm period is cent- ral on the Oth, 10th and llth. Late sleet and snow will most probably at- tend the northern and western tang- ents of these storms, coming with the high barometer out of the northwest after passage of high temperature and Vernal thunder and rain storms. Change to decidedly cooler weather will follow for several days, causing frost in many sections during the nights ranging between the 11 to 15. Hail storms will be most natural re- sults, with violent local gusts, during the passage of these April thunder clouds. S• S. Mass Meeting. The Exeter Branch of the British and Foreign Bible Society held a mass meeting of the Sunday School children of the town in the Main street church on Sunday afternoon last. A large number of children were present be- sides many older people, the church being filled. In the absence of the President, Rey. Wm. Godwin, the chair was occupied by Rev. R. J. M. Perkins, rector of the Trivitt Memorial church, and addresses were delivered by Revs. Perkins and Going and Rev. McL. Smith of Hensall. Rev. Perkins' spoke on "The World Without Christ" and drew a vivid picture 'of what the world would be like with everything that Christ has given us taken out of the world—church, bible, civilization. etc. Rev. Going's topic was "The World with. Christ Supreme." He pictured the world with all the sin taken away. Rev. Smith was ,pleased that the churches were uniting with one accord in the work of God. 'He spoke on "The Bible Society" which was started over 100 years ago in Lon- don, England, for the purpose of send- ing bibles to Wales, afterwards taking the whole world as the field, until to day the bible is printed in hundreds of languages and many thousands of bibles are distributed every year. A choir consisting of members from tbe various church choirs assisted in the singing, and Misses Acheson, Hynd- man and Fish sang a pleasing trio. The occasion was a very successful one in every way.
