Another grand carnival was held in the roller rink on Tuesday evening. Owing to the extreme coolness of the weather, there were not as many present as on previous oc- casions, although the crowd was by no means small. There was a good number of skaters in.costume, and the competition for prizes waslkeen. In the five -mile race for the sil- ver medal there wore a great many entries, but the number narrowed down to George .Eacrett and Johh Veil.For about 70 laps the taros skated along even at times, and occasi- onally passed each other, until finally Veil took first place and held it until the finish, beating his opponent about half a lap. The married men's race was not so keenly con- tested, and was easily won by John Hynd- man. The competition for prizes caused more excitement and interest among the spectators than any of the previous carnivals. The following ale the names of the prize- winners. Gent's best dress, Chas, Macdon- p11 ; Lady's best dress, 1st, Miss Gould, 2nd, Mss Mary Sanders ; Marrried Men's race, 1st, John Hyndman. 2nd, Alf Sheere; Lady and genta's fast race, lst, S.

The Reformers throughout the country aro fully opposed to the Dominion Franchise Act, bat still they manage to collect and send to the Revising barristers a great many names to be placed upon the list. In dull time advertise ; That is the time when your business needs booming. It is the time when there are few advertisements in the paper, and yours will receive all the more attention. The ratepayers of Stephen Township have decided to erect a new town hall et Crediton. It is badly needed, and the building can not be erected too soon. Tenders are advertised for. See advertisement in another column. The Farmers' Institute lately organized at Seaforth has deoided to hold another meet. ing at Exeter on the first Tuesday in March, commencing at 9 o'clock a. m, It is to be hoped there will be a good attendance.

The St. Marys Argus came to hand last week with the following very significant words in bold type, in the centre of the edi- torial page ; "This page pied while at prow." We imagine that the employees of the office would require to go to church three times on Sunday. A meeting of the Reformera of Exeter was held in Samwell's Hall last week, at which there was a good attendance. Several names were recommended to be placed on the Do- minion Voters' List, and several brief ad. - dresses were delivered. The anneal swear -off seems to have stuok to a considerable extent this year, and many a man's mouth feels as though it were lined with sealskin, for want of a drink. It is said that the drink business is lighter Chau it was last year. This means more trade in dry -goods stores, with lees life in the coffee and clove market. We are happy to state that Mr. J. E. Tem, of Strathroy,t formerle of St. Marys, sou of Mr. Jas, Torn, of tbis place, has received the appointment by the County Council, of Pub- lic School Inspector for South Riding of Hu- ron. As we have previously said, Mr. Tom will make a good Inspector, and, we feel cer- tain, will perform his duties impartielly and eatisfctorily. He will reside in Exeter. A very interesting and imposing ceremony took place at the Methodist church, Luoan, yesterday, beiug the marriage of John Blatchford, Esq., of Exeter, to Miss Maria Lee, of Lucan. A great many witnessed the ceremony, which was performed by Be.vR. Davy, of Lucan. The presents were many and costly. We wish the newly married couple prosperity. etc. At a meeting of the County Orange Lodge held here ou Tuesday the members regretted very much that the pioneer Orangeman, Mr. O'Connor, of Bayfield, was absent through sickness. This was the first meeting he has missed since becoming a member, and he was one of the first in the county. The lodge unanimousiy passed a resolution of sympathy for Mr. Wellington O'Connor. At Crediton on Saturday evening a num- ber of the peeple of Stephen banqueted bit. V. Ratz in honor of his election to Warden for Huron County. About 75 persons were present, and a number of stirring speeches were made, in which complimentary allu- sions were made to Mr. R's. sterling worth and bis popularity.

Clarke will deliver his popular and highly interesting and instructive lee tura, entitled "Among the Masses," in the lecture -room of the James -street Methodist Church, tomorrow (Friday) evening.

Don't fail to hear this eloquent speaker, or you will miss a rare treat. The Exeter Poultry and Pet Stock Show opened on Tuesdey morning. There are nearly 500 entries, comprising some very choice breeds of fowls. Breeders from all parts of Ontario are exhibiting. The judge commenced scoring Wednesday morning. On the whole the exhibition gives promise of being a success, financially and otherwise: It is to be hoped the town folks will turn out and give the promoters of the affair a "lift" by attending the showto.day and to.morrow. It will cost only 10 cents. 0 11 On Wednesday ?�eruinft the; thermQutete stops 18 degrees below' zero, Yo have had colder weather.

It has been decided that no other non-residents than those allowed by law shall attend the Granton School.
