Thomas Dart and Charles Myers, butchers of London township, were on Saturday sent up for trial at the June general sessions, on tht' charge of deal- ing in diseased meat. It is alleged that they bought, divided and sold a diseased carcase of a cow which was unfit for human food. The principal witness was John Wilson, of McGil- livray township, from whom the ani- mal was purchased. The butchers paid $10 only for the beast, took it to a neighbor's barn and killed it, but witness did not believe that the :neat was diseased, although he (Wilson) pleaded vuiity before Spare Smith, of Ailsa ('raig, and also paid \Vestcott $52 to keep the sable quiet. The accus- ed were allowed hail in personal bonds of $4(10 each. and sureties of $200 each. Without a doubt the past five days at least have been most beautifully springlike. At times a warm shower, a warm south wind, a warm sun and a warm smile from a neighbor, have as- sisted in making the atmosphere so warm and pleasant. The windows have been propped up inlet t down,d<ors been thrown open, tires allowed to die out and even coats discarded, in an en- deavor to keep the temperature nor- mal. The snow has nearly all disap- peared, the frost is ort of the ground except in shaded places, the roads ate rapidly drying. and but a few more (lays and the dust will be flying. The rivers and creeks which have been swollen are quickly receding. Even the grassy places are fit to walk upon, while the sidewalks have forgotten to to be, slippery acrid slushy. The birds are mating, the sap is running, the trees are budding and the grass is greening. New life seems infused in all about ns and spring is surely here. Could anyone desire more: A very inspiring meeting for wom- en and gide was held by Mrs. McNair on Tuesday afternoon in the Jaules-st. church. The topic was "Jesus, the Precious 11.:1110, dwelling on " His Love,.. and portraying the "alar perfections of His prison." It carried the thought of everyone present to the greatness and power of the Saviour of men. A solo entitled " The Beloved" was a fitting accompaniment to the whole. Mrs. McNair will address the W.M.B. Auxiliary this week.- The evening meetings will continue dnrinq the week and until Theories, next. The services on Sunday were of a high or- der. The lofty ideals and conceptions of the Christian character cannot fail to deepen the spiritual life of the mem- bers. Mr. McNair's moving appeals are calculated to Lead souls t0 decision for Christ, and quite it number have done so. In the S. S. meeting in the afternoon a large number of scholars confessed Christ. Mrs. McNair sang beautiful solos morning and evening, entitled "Heaven and Homeland" and „Just for To -day." They were sung with fine expression.-- Mr. McNair s subjects for the week following are: Thursday flight, "The Mance": Friday night. "'Sire frier. Hel) limning in our Midst"; and .tlor,day night.

Let there be a good turnout. Death of Mrs. Dearing Death has removed another of our oldest residents. We refer to Hannah Horrid!, beloved wife of 11r, Thntnate Dearing, whose spirit took its flight on Friday last at the great age of 82 years. Mrs,,. Dearing has been a long sufferer and fur the 'greater part of many months has been in an almost helpless condition from what :night be termed a general breaking up of the system or the infirmities of old age. During the last few weeks of her earthily existence she scarcely recognized her friends ex they rallied around her, and she bad for several days been . hovering be- tween life and death. Mrs. Dearing was a native of England, and came to Canada in the good old pioneer days, when this part of the country was al- most a dense wilderness, settling in the Township of Stephen. For many years deceased has been a resident, of Exeter, and by her kindly nature and good qualities of both heart and head had endeared herself to many who will regret her demise. Besides a sor- rowing husband she is survived by three daughters and one son—Mrs. John Moore, of Glen Adelaide, N. W.T.; Mrs. Burk and Mrs, Whisler, of Man- celona, Mich.; and Mr. 1. J. Dearing, of Chicago. The funeral took place on Sunday to the Exeter cemetery. Nicks Forecasts for April. A marked chancre to warmer, with corresponding fall of the barometer, will progressively pass from \Vest to East over the country during the first two or three days of April. Indica- tions of corning change and storms will be apparent to observing people over most parts of the country, and these fore -running indications will culminate in storms of :•.tin, wind and thunder, centering on and touching Monday and Tuesday, the :3rd and 4th. Any lo( ality in all the great storm belts of the country will he liable to these visitations, and wherever high humidity and temperature, attended by low barometer may exist, to that extent forceful and violent storms will he. probable. Anyone of ordinary intelligence can tell hours before whether his immediate locality Is go- ing to fall in the direct path of 'a storm. The tendency to hail storms will be greatly increase at this time, it copperish, electrical cloud being al- most a certain precursor of approach- ing hail. The period will end in change to much cooler with probable snow flurries northward, and coal to frosty nights will follow up to about the 0th. The 7th and 8th are central dates, meant' touching which reaction- ary changes to storm conditions will take place. These changes to warmer, falling barometer, with outbreaks of rain and storminess, will begin in western, and slake their transit to eastern sections, being followed by rapid rine of the barometer and change to much cooler. Electrical, Venus storms until past the middle of April, should ire warnings of sudden change to cooler with frost. Council situates.
