After ten years of residence there he moved to Hibbert township where he remained for about ten years, moving to Exeter about four years ago. During his residence here he had been confined to the house most of the time suffering from Bright's disease and heart trouble, which together with the infirmities of old age caused his death on Sunday.

Mr. Dwight -Edwards possesses a fine voice of a pleasing quality over which he has perfect control and bis every piece was a delight to the audience. "0 Divine Redeemer," "It is Enough" "The Palms"and '•Jerusalem" were particularly pleasing. The familiar selections are always 'found to give more pleasure to the hearers than the highly classical and unknown. In this concert the same feeling prevailed with the audience, "The Palms" and "Jerusalem" being greatly. appreciat- ed. Mr. Brown as an organist and an accompanist needs no lengthy com- ment. His excellent playing is now becoming fairly well known to Exeter audiences and all are delighted with his masterly style and execution. Go Thursday night he fully Sustained his reputation. His selections were well chosen and appreciated. Financially the affair was the success it deserved. Death of Francis M. Sheptou. After many years of patient suffer- ing from asthma Francis M.

A Correction Owing to the fact that we had not been favored with an invitation from the St. Anthony Social Club to attend their assembly in the Opera House, Exeter, on January 81st, and to the fact that we had not known of the or- ganization of this club, we, in our ac- count styled it as being given be the young men of town. In this we inad- vertently erred. We should have stated that it was given by St. Anth- ony's Social Club, of which Mr. R. H. Murpby is president and Dr. A. C. Ramsay is secretary. In the same issue we made mention of another as- sembly, the invitations to which com- menced "The Gentlemen of Exeter re- quest, etc." We received an invita- tion and were thus able to mention it as the invitation stated. However, the fact that one was stated as being given by "The young men of Exeter" and the other "The Gentletnen of Ex- eter" seems to have been taken by some ns a reflection on the. former. Of course no such thing was intended, as Is self-evident. A moral may be drawn herefrom:— "Extend an invitation to The Press so that even if they do not attend they, at least, shall know the facts of the case." Mr. Wm. Dignan of Liman spent Monday in town. Mrs. Geo. Samwell left Tuesday to visit in Ingersoll. Hon. Thos. Greenway was in town part of the past week. Mrs. D. Sbirray of Heneall. spent the past week with friends in town. Mrs. Get).
