A A&ALaa&s1111141IJALssea Miss Pearl Keetle of Sharon has commenced to learn the dry -goods clerking with Snell k Rowe. Roy Trac uair of Tuckersmitb has commenced an apprenticeship to learn tinsrnithing with T. Hawkins & Son. A new piano has just been placed in the Janes street Sunday school to take the place of the organ heretofore used. Mrs. Piper was called to London Monday owing to the illness of her daughter Miss Louise, who is confined to the hospital. The voting in St. Marys on two by- laws -one to loan $0000 to Messrs. Weir & %Veit to extend their flax plant and the other to guarantee the bonds of a knitting firm for $30)0 -were both defeated, the majority in both cases was large. Rev. Geo. Webber of Toronto, a for- mer pastor of the James street Metho- dist church, Exeter, died suddenly at his home at the age of 69 years. A widow, one son, John of New York, and two daughters survive. The fun- eral took place on Monday. Mr. Web- ber was 40 years in the ministry and wrote several widely read religious works. Messrs. Geo. Hyde and W. W. Dun- can, the Engineers of the St. Marys. Exeter and Sarnia Railway, are in town this week taking the level for the purpose of crossing the Grand Trunk line hero and West. This is the beginning of the good work which we have so long looked forward to. Mr. J. T. Manning in renewing his subscription to the Advocate says:— Weare still interested in the home news and the Advocate is a welcome messenger. We are pleased to wel- come old Exeter friends to Crystal City. Mr. W. Harvey and Mr. C. Cann and family arrived here last week. Mr. L. H. Dickson attended the Sare nia assizes as council for plaintiff in the case of Medcoff vs. Bosanquet township. The plaintiff sues for bal- ance of moneys claimed tinder contract of constructing the Shawona drain, a work involving miles of excavation. Other counsel were N. W ilson, K. C., of Chatham and John Cowan, K. C., of Sarnia. The case was referred to On- tario Drainage Referee. Our worthy postmaster has just in- stalled about eighty five new lock box- es in the post office here. They are of modern get up, pretty in design and a decided improvement on the old. It is rather a regrettable fact that he did not discard all the old boxes and put in a complete new set, but doubtless this will be a consideratipn for the nearfu- ture. However, friend Christie is to be commended as far as he bas gone. Not every boy can be a rich man, but every boy can he a gentleman. A boy with gentlemanly manners, who is trusty and honest and does his very best every day, will gain the attention and confidence of men and will be giv. en paying and responsible positions as soon as he is old enough to fill them. Boys like to have fun and a good time. it is right they should. They will never be boys hut once, but to have fun is not altogether what they are made for. Boys are of value chiefly to make men, good for something in the world. Character, like a house, must have the right kind of a founda- tion. The foundation stones of a good character are reverence for God, res- pect and obedience to parents, defer- ence for old people. Walters Acheson. A very quiet wedding took place at the rectory on Thursday evening last, when Mr. Herbert Walter was united in marriage to Miss Lily May. eldest daughter of Mr. W. T. Acheson. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. W. i). Collins, while the contracting parties were unattended. The cere- mony over, the young couple repaired to the home of the groom's parents where a reception was held. On Fri- day morning they left for Toronto where they intend spending a short hnneynioon, and on their return will settle down to the sterner realities of life. The best wishes of their friends accompany them. Tri►itt Memorial Vestry. The Annual Vestry meeting of the Trivia Memorial church was held on Easter Monday evening. There was an unusually large attendance and touch interest was shown in the pro- ceedings. The financial report was found very satisfactory- and was hand- ed over to the auditors, whose report will he given id the adjourned meet - to be held in two weeks. Mr. John J. Knight was re-elected People's war- der, and the Rector appointed Mr. T. Hawkins Rector's warden. On motion of Mr. C. 11. Sanders Canon ex. on Select Vestry was put into operation.

Every once in a while one sees a newspaper article on "('otean wed- dings" or "Marriage customs among the Australian Aborigines," or some- thing of that kind, and we say, "Dear me: how barbarous:" 1 wonder what the ('orran bride or the Australian native would say if they should read in their daily papers of our wedding customs, -for instance: "The pair are followed even to the train by merry- makers who pelt then( with grains of rice, scraps of paper and cast-off shoes.- -the ring which is put on the bride's hand as a sign of her bondage is often carried on a tray or embroid- ered cushion by a small child, who walks in front of the bridal proces- sion:" "the marriage ceremony and feast often Costas mach as the father's s.'►vinps for years; but this extrava- gance is considered in the light of en investment, as the friends who are in- vited all enntrihttte to furnish the house of the wedded pair." Really, our customs are quite as unique. in their way, as those of foreign nations; and perhaps some of us, to whom wed- dings happen to be a rare event, would feel no stranger at a Japanese tea - drinking bridal m• at an aboriginal ceremony than at the eonventionel ehatrch wedding. --The Delineastor for April.

Easter Seri Ices. The Easter services in connection with theT,ivitt Memorial church were very successful. The day was very unfavorable fur an Easter day, but de- spite the cold, biting wind the congre- gations, especially in the evening, were very large. The choir rendered appropriate music. The anthem in the evening was especially worthy of mention. 1'he Rector preached in the morning on the details of the Resur• rection morning as they centered a- round Mary Magdelene; and in the evening the appearance of the Risen Lord to the two disciples on their way to Damascus. The reverend gentle- man handled his subjects in a manner that was interesting, instructive and fascinating. The collection& for the day amounted to $114. The church was beautifully decorated with Easter lilies. At the ,close of the evening service Mr. Brown gave a short music- al Recital at which Miss Bobier and Mr. Harding gave solos and Mr. Berry a cornet solo. e Easter Visitors is Exeter.

''At Home" Those who were fortunate enough to receive invitations and availed themselves of the opportunity of at- tending the "At Home" given by the teachers and students of the Exeter High School, in the large room of the school on Wednesday night of last week, were amply repaid for their trouble, the nftair being a most enjoy- able treat. The weather was rather disagreeable, but a large number were in attendance, the seating capacity be- ing taxed to its utmost and nearly all the pupils in attendance were com- pelled to stand. Mr. Firming, the genial principal, presided in his usual happy manner and after a brief and interesting address on the work and progressof the school, which was in- deed pleasing and gratifying to all, an excellent program was rendered. the selections by the (Ike (!luh of the school were heartily encored.

The instrumental duets by Misses ida Rowe and Lulu Martin and Misses Gladys Itissett and Ida Rowe were admirably rendered ars were also the instrumental selections by Misses Lillian Autos and Flossie Sweet.

The object set forth is to bring the three places of the same mune tato closer touch and lay the foundation for a more friendlv feeling and interchanges. The Princi- pal of the school promised to take the matter up and that the suggestions set forth in the letters would receive his most hearty support.
