LOCAL DOINGS.
Mr. Thos. E. Handford left yester-
day for Sarnia, where he will take the

narrowly escaped death. She was
horse -back riding and was thrown off

caped being trampled upon. The
horse finally turned on to the sidewalk

the young lady's foot was released.

and a severe gash in one hand.
The builders at St. Joseph's church
Clinton, had a narrow escape front
meeting with a serious accident on

feet or so square, when at about twelve
feet from the ground the scaffold
broke and then went down in a heap.
It was a mix-up of men, mortar, bricks,
tools and scaffolding, but very fortun-
ately no one was very touch hurt.

ler, D. Cook, W. Johnston, D. Liver-
more, C. Moore. I1. and F. Sweet.
It has been rumored that the Gibb
Evaporator would not be running this
fall. In speaking to Mr. Ham, one of
the concern, regarding the matter, he
states that the evaporator will be in
full operation this year under the same
management and will give notice in a
very short time when they will begin
operations. The rumor evidently
started owing to the death of Mr.
Gibb when it was necessary in settling
up this estate to advertise the plant
for sale. The company last year had
pleasant dealings with the farmers and
expect to give them the same treat-
ment this year.

Hicks' Forecasts For August.
A i{eactionary Storm Period is cen-
tral on the ]lith, 2Oth and 21st. The
storm diagram shows the centre of
the Venus period on the 19th. The
Moon is at quadrature, or last quarter,
on the 13th. lower barometer, warm-
er and serere, surnmer blustering will
be natural about Wednesday the 10th,
to Friday the 21st. Venus hail storms
are quite probable at this and other
August periods. Sudden and pheno-
menal changes to very cool must he
counted on directly after the passage
of storm areas at most of the periods
in August. The Moon is at extreme
north declination on the 22nd, which
fact may prolong great summer heat
at this time, even tip to the next
storm period: but such conditions will
break down and bring change almost
or quite to the frost line in northern
directions, before the close of the
Venus period.

Rogers-Jeckell.
The home of Mfrs. %Villiant Jeckell,
London Road, North, was the scene of
a most joyous event yesterday which
results in another of our fair sex leav-
ing her native land to grace the home
of an American citizen. We refer to
the solemnization of the marriage of
Miss Elizabeth Blanche Jeckell to Mr.
llerbert'I'hounts Rogers of Colraine,
Minn. The affair was of a quite nat-
ure, the immediate relatives being the
only guests in attendance. Itev. W.
M. Martin, pastor of the Presbyterian
church, Exeter, performed the cere-
mony, after which all sat down to a
daintly prepared welding breakfast.
The happy couple took the ever ing
train on a honeymoon trip after which
they will leave for their future home
at Coleraine, Minn. The amiable
bride was a general favorite in social
circles and the best wishes of all will
be her's for a happy and prosperous
married life.
Death of James Moore.
There passed away at the home of
Mr. Wtu. Northcott, Hay, on Thurs-
day last, another of Exeter's oldest
and much esteemed residents, in the
person of James Moore. For some
years the deceased has been in delicate
health and gradually succumbed to
the weight of his advanced years, be-
ing aged 78 years and 0 months. De-
ceased was a native of England and
came to Canada with his wife and one
daughter about twenty-three years
ago, settling in Exeter North. About
three years ago his wife was stricken
down and died and since that time he
has made his house with his brother-
in-law, Mr. Wm. Northcott of Hay.
Mr. Moore was a man of reserved dis-
position but was noted for his strict
integrity and honesty of purpose and
was highly respected by all who new
him. He is survived by one daughter
only, Mrs. Fred Bartlett, who resides
in the west. The funeral took place
to the Exeter cemetery on Saturday.
Death of Mrs. Frank J. Knight.
The news of the death of Mrs. Frank
J. Knight which was passed around
on Sunday evening last was received
with keen regret by her many friends
in town and the surrounding country.
For many years her health had not
been robust but she was always hope-
ful and after many a season of indis-
position was out around again smiling
and as ambitious as ever,:and it would
seem that in time she would outlive
her trouble and again be restored to
her foriner-good health, but it was
willed otherwise. For some time past
all hopes of her recovery were given
up, but her buoyant spirits enabled
her to resist the ravages of the disease
much longer than was expected. The
deceased was barn in Exeter in the
year 1860, being a daughter of the late
Edred Drew. About twenty-one
years ago she married Mr. Frank J.
Knight and the happy union was
blessed with two sons who survive to-
gether with the sorrowing husband.
Being an earnest and energetic mem-
ber of the Trivitt Memorial church,
and a member of the Ladies' Guild,
she took n deep interest in all pertain-
ing to its welfare, always being among
the foremost in carrying out the var•
nous parts of the church work so es-
sential to its prosperity, hence she
will he greatly missed by all. A cheer-
ful, loving friend, kind and true as
she was intelligent and good, she leav-
es behind her the fragrance of a pure
life that will remain while memory
lasts. Deceased had spent all her life
in Exeter, and by her kindly disposi-
tion had entwined herself with the
warn affections of a host of friends.
She was aged 42 years, 7 months and 3
days. Besides the husband and two
sons she is survived by fret mother,
(who has been at her bedside for sev-
eral weeks and is still in town) and a
brother in the West. The funeral
took place on Tuesday, the remains
having been taken to the Trivitt Mem-
orial church, where the beautiful ser-
vice of the church was conducted by
the rector, Rev. Collins, after which
interment took place in the Exeter
cemetery. The casket bore several
beautiful floral tributes of respect.
The bereaved relatives have the sin-
cere sympathy of a host of friends in
their deep affliction.
