Word was received last week tliat
Mr. Wes. Welsh,who left here on
Monday, had in some manner met,
with an accident whereby one of his
legs����was injured while on his way to
Winnipeg. Just how it happened
the extent of the injury we have not"

injury will be only temporary.
Mr. Thos. Bissett of the 3rd con. of
Usborne lost a valuable mare on Fri -
clay last. He had ,driven a team to
town Thursday and,was about to re-
turn home when he noticed cilia of the
horses was sick. He hinnediaately con-
sulted Dr. Ramsay and had the beast
placed•in his stables, where it died the
following day. The trouble waas sup-
posed to be paralysis of -the bowels.
Among the farmers: are interesting
to{pe�er; is the effect of the winter on the
wheat and clover crop. It is difficult
to determine .what damage has been
done by the unusual alternating niild
and freezing temperatures of the win
ter season. It is thought that small
fruits and the wheat plantjiavesuffer-
ed considerably. Weather like the
past week is very hard on the crops.
Mr. Josh!. Heywood informs Us that
the little advertisement be placed in

buyers than he could supply, This is

_moo 24th Demonstration.:in. Parkhill.
The Parkhill post of last week says:--
"Welearned on Tuesday that the pro-
posed races for May 24th have been de-
clared off. The Turf Club have held
several meeting for the purpose of
making arrangements for some's orts
for that date, but were. unable ti se
dire the necessary support and as a
consequence the plans have fallen
through. We understand Exeter is
already issuing bills for a big demon-
stration for Victoria Day and it is
thot'rght unwise to push the plans here
with a 'counter demonstration so near
at hand," '
Through an oversight we omitted
last week to give an occount of the re-
cent entertainment given in the Pres-
byterian church on behalf of. the Sim -
day school. The program` consisted
of recitations,diaalogues,solos, choecises
and Magic lantern views by Mr. Jos;
Senior. The views woe very pleasing
being illustrative of Exeter and scenes
along •thr
e Thames in England, Sever -
el
el views were shown in illustration of
"My Old Kentucky Hoare," end "The
Holy City," the former being "sung by
the choir and the latter by Miss Mar.

well rendered recitations. The child.
ren were treated toConae choice fruits.

The Exeter Branch: of the ° British
and Foreign Bible Society held a mass
meeting of the Sunday School children
of the town in the Main street church
on Sunday afternoon last. A large
number of children were present be-
sides- many older people, the church
being filled. In the absence of the
President, Rey. Won. Godwin, the
chair was occupied by Rev. R. J. M.
Perkins, rector of the•Trzvitt Memorial
church, and addresses were delivered
by Revs. Perkins end Going and Rev.
MeL. Smith. of Hensall. Rev. Perkins
spoke on "The World Without Christ"
and drew a vivid picture of what the
world would be : like with everything
that Christ has given us taken out of
the world --church, bible, civilization.
etc. -Rev. Going's topic was "The
World with Oiliest Supreme." ` -He
pictured the world with all thesin
taksn away, Rev. Stnith was ;pleased
that the churches were uniting With
:one accord in the work of God. He
spoke on "The Bible Society" which
was started -over 100 years ago in Lon-
don, England, for the purpose of • send-
ing bibles to Wales, afterwards taking
the whole world as the field, untilto-
daay: the, bible is printed in hundreds.
of languages and many thousands., of
bibles are distributed every year. A
choir consistrr g of mernbers....from the
various church 'choirs assisted in the
singing, and Misses Acheson-, Hynd-:
man and Fish sang a pleasing trio.
The occasion was a very successfulone.
in every way. '
