The members of the Exeter Band met in their room on Thursday even- ing last for the purpose of doing honor to one of their number, Mr. Geo. Eac- rett, prior to his moving to the North- west. Mr. Joe. Senior, the President, made a neat address in which he re- ferred to the many excellent qualities of Mr. Eacrett and stated that the Band regretted exceedingly his depar- ture from bis native town in which he had always been a most estimable citi- zen. The speaker personally and on behalf of the baud hoped that in the far Western provinces or where'er his lot might be cast that he would receive the full share of the good things of this life and that he would always retain a warm spot in his heart for the home town. George was presented with a beautiful leather companion case, in- cluding an ebony framed brush, comb and mirror, as a token of the esteem in which he is held by his fellow hands - men. Mr. Eacrett made a suitable and feeling reply. -Not only will George be missed iu the musical circles but in many other ways. Seldom is a young inan so universally respected by all whom he may meet ina businessors(r cial way,aa he is, and all his old friends will wish him success in the Great West. George left Saturday evening for Winnipeg where he will make his home for a trove at least. Good for- tune, old boy! Sanders -Coward. A very quiet but pretty wedding was celebrated at the Elitnville parson- age on Wednesday last, the contract- ing parties being Mr. Arthur Sanders, third son of the late James Sanders, 3rd con..Stephen, and Miss Mary Eliz- abeth Coward, daughter of Mr. Thos. Coward, of the Rth con., Cationic. The interesting ceretnony,which took place at 2:30 o'clock, was performed by the ltev. Mr. Fair. The bride, who was attired in a beautiful costume of creatn eolienne, was assisted by Mies Jennie Sanders, sister of the groom, who was becomingly attired in blue lustre. The groom was ably supported by Frank Coward, brother of the bride. At the conclusion of the ceremony the hri(htl party drove to the residence of the gr.om's mother, Mrs. John Cookson, where a reception was tendered the bride and groom. About fifty guests were present and the evening pleas- antly spent in dancing and social in- tercourse. The wedding presents were numerous and costly, an evidence of thehighesteeni entertained toward the young people,coupled with the donors' earnest wish that the loving pair may long enjoy to the full life's inestimable blessings --health, wealth and prosper ity. Mr. and Mrs. Sanders have taken lip their i,'sidencenn the 4)1(1 homestead, on the 3rd concession of Stephen, Mr. and Mrs. John Cookson and fam- ily having moved to the home they recently purchased in Exeter North. Mr. Dawes Harvey Retires. Thirty four years as an hostler is a record that is probably unequalled ill Canada, yet such is the time served in that capau•ity by Mr. James Harvey, who on Monday of this week leaves his work and retires to his tarot in Stephen Township for the balance of his term of life. For nearly thirty vears he was to be found day or night in attendance upon the travelling pub- lic et the ('omnteicial House stables, when an linfortmettc accident, by which he came near losing his life, compelled hitt) to quit work for a time, but soon he was hack in harness at the Mansion House where he remained for over four years. That the people whose horses he cared for recognized the val- ue of his services will be seen when it is known that with his earnings dur- ing those years he purchased a fine iia) -acre farm in Stephen and carries a hank book as well, besides raising s family of five children, who are now grown up. People could always de- pend upon their animals tering well groomed and fed. and to the man who deems his horse as good as himself this is no light t'otisideration. Few of the obi customers are seen toaley and nnnpng others whom Mr. Harvey deep- ly regretted was the whole -smiled late. William Hawkshaw. During his long experience in attending to the wants of the animals under his care he often found the value of a Booed liniment and while not always sat 'seed with those he might secur•e,sunie years ago he bit upon a receipt fur en ointment which is now known far end wide as Harvey's Ointment and is. for cracked heels. sore shoraldere, cuts. scratches, etc.. second to none in Canada. 11e ams• factures the at ticle for hinrelf and has sold many Ianndaedit of (poxes of it to people needing sueh. in living in a semi -retired way alien) his farm and ill devoting hie time to the menu/art lire and sale of Hart('y's Ointment he will spend the remaining veers of his life. All horsemen, ferules* and other friends will agree that Mr. Harvey has well cermet a retirement from al(dnons duties, at the same time regretting that he e•ilin o n►nr• be in his old place. Then, here's wishing that he may long 1e' spared to enjoy life end u)inietet to the sufferings of nature's noble tweet. the hnrse. Such is rho 'vi.h eof tie Salvor ate for its old-time friend.

She says: As soon as the skirts are sbortened,children ar- r•iveat the dignity of wearing shoes. The first ones should be very soft and loose. They are to be had as mocca- sins and ankle ties, as well as in the shape of diminutive shoes with very soft soles, The latter should be thick- er when the time comes for the child to walk. Children's shoes should have broad soles and should be formed very carefully so ars not to deform the feet. They are made without heels, for childien do not wear heels until they are nine or ten years ()II, and then ex- tremely low. Children often suffer from weak ankles. If such he the case their feet should be bathed and rubbed with salt water every day. They will be helped by the wearing of shoes the ankles of which have been made stiff by pieces of steed which are held in place by means of little pockets made for the purpose in the lining of the shoe. Shoes are made especially for children who toe in, or for those who are bow-legged, and for children who have flat fret.

Kuee-raps made of leather are excellent to prevent rapid wearing out of the stockings at the knees." Senator Fultord Dead. The Canadian millinn:eire, Senator (leo. P.
