A young hot1so Baron„ lug to Mr. Alex, Davie, rs seriously ill with distemper. The 1-liensall ice skating rine will be open- ed this week, The temperature Sunday night was 18 degrees belew zero, It is reported that 5,000 dear have been slaughtered in Muskoka district this season, Mr. E. Christie, has purchased several .American style Portland cutters. Who doubled the price of our childrens' school books ? The Mowat Government, Why were Scripture Readings put in our schools ? To satisfy Archbishop Lynch and serve es a stop forsoine s9uealer's mouth. Read '. laitton's advertisement. He is offering his splendid assortment of goods at the lowest possible prices. Municipal, and Parliamentary elections and local railway matters form the subjects of discussion on our streets. The firemen intend giving and entertain- en41t., shortly. They promise something }m*00 There is ice on the river several inches thick, and the 5101111 !boy has been making rise of it. What is your opinion on the Riel affair, Mr. Bishop ? The people of South Huron are anxiously awaiting an answer. Mr, IVnI, Bawden landed at London, England, on the 22nd ult. He will possibly arrive Moine by Christmas. The snow plow did good service on Friday last. Every street in town was cleared of snow to the depth of three feet. Tlie funeral sermon of the late Miss E. • Cann, was preached at 136thany, Sunday last, by the Rev. W. H. Gane. There was a good attendance. . The anniversary of the James-st Meth. church will be held on Sunday and Monday next, Rev. Mr. Webber takes a prominent part in the same, Large quantities of brick pass through the village daily, to be used in the erection of new residences for our farmer friends, of the adjoining townships. Vote for Mr. Jas. Swenerton, and secure better inforcement of the Scott Act. Mr. Bishop, has lent no helping hand to accom- plish the desired end. Mr. Bishop is one of Mr. Nowat's follow- ers, who sympathised with the French, over the hanging of the traitor Riel. All lovers of Canadian laws of justice should remem- ber this. A meting of tile ratepayers will be called in a few clays, to consider the advisability of inducing the C. P. R. to extend their pro- posed line to Exeter, and also to appoint a committee to enquire into the matter. In anticipation of the good time they are going to have, and the handsome presents they are going to receive, the next two weeks will appear to pass very slowly to the young people. The killers for Davis, the butcher, ex- perienced much difficulty in capturing from the field adjoining the slaughter house, a young heifer, the other day. The animal had to be lassoed. A communication from Mr. Chas. Senior, on 'lehalf of the trustees of the Exeter Public School, who voted for the resolution -giving reasons .for displacing the Scrip- ture Readings, is of interest to every rate- payer. Mr. A. Bishop, the Reform candidate for South Huron, for the Local Legislature was in town Tuesday testing the feelings, of his constituents. Mr. Bishop, as a man, is well enough, but as a representative of a' people, who believe that Riel was justly hanged, he is unfit. Business during the past few days has been very brisk, wood, grain, hay, pork, etc., being marketed in large quantities, and sold, in the majority of cases, with but little delay. Good wood brings 83.00 per cord, while hay is selling at from $9 to $10 per ton. A. Mr. Faulkner, of St. Marys, was in town last week, and read to us a letter lie had received from a friend in Dakota. The writer complains of extremly bad tinges and says, "there are more farms for sale out here than you can shake a stick at." This is Mr. Blake,s paradise Only two weeks from next Tuesday until the Ontario elections. When the time comes every loyal Canadian, who has the interests of the country at heart, should cast bis vote in favor of a supporter of Mr. Meredith. His platform is one which is commendable to all. If the young people of the village cannot secure sufficient membership to organize, a toboggan club, why not try snowshoeing. There is not a deal of expense connected with the latter, and the cost is within the scope of all. Many of the young men pos-, sess outfits. What do you say about this, N. D. H. ? Last week, I. J. Dearing met with an accident, which laid hien up for several days. He was wrestlrpng with another party and not having a guod:hold, slipped and fell, his opponent, who is a heavy per- son, falling on top of him. A slight dislo- cation was the result. Sunday, the 28th ult., was Advent Sun- day. The four weeks immediately preced- ing Christmas are collectively styled. Ad- vent, a term denoting approach or arrival,. and are so called in reference to the coming celebration of the birth of our Saviour. This year it fell on the earliest possible date which it can occur. The entertainment given in Drew's hall last evening, sunder the auspices of the ladies of the Main-st Meth. church was a grand success in every respect. At an early hour the hall was well filled, and as far as the programme was rendered at time of going to press it was highlypleasing to all. Time and space will not permit of an extended report. The. Bethany church and Sabbath school will bold their anniversary on Sunday and Tuesday -next. Sunday, sermons will be preached by Rev: Jas. Ford, of London, and on Tuesday, a tea will be served, after which, addresses will be delivered by several Rev'd gentlemen. A good time may be expected. ;Admission, 25c.; child- ren, not of the school, 15cts. Mr. Thomas. Handford; of Centralia, returned home from Manitoba on Friday last. Xie reportstimes lively out there, and feels confident that the Norquay Gov-' ernment will be elected Tom being well acquainted in Manitoba, can well form an opinion. He also affirms that matters for the Dominion look', romisin for Sir 1Tohti. It is a common expression of merehants that "business is so chill it will not pay to advertise,''What would `wst think of the working man who, when, work is scarce, would, not try all the harder to find it ?

Dispite the stormy and excessive cold g last, goodly of Friday, a g y 'number were in attendance at the temper- .ance lecture in Drew's Hall. The lecturer, Rev. 1.r. Burgess, of Listowel, gave in a plain and concisive maAner, the benefits of temperance,its workings and the manner in which the promoters must work to ensure .success. Mr. Burgess, being a very fluent speaker, it is a pleasure to listen to him. •Grip's Comic Almanac. We have received from the Grip Printing arnd Publishing Co., of Toronto, a copy of their celebrated Canadian Comic Alnatnac .for 1887. It more than keeps up the repu- tation of this Annual, which has now reach- ed its eighth year,=the great variety of the illustrations, and the first-class ,character of the humorous matter, making it a decidedly attractive hook. Everybody will want it ; and its price will not be an obstacle. Though eight pages of matter have been ad- ded, it still sells at 10 cents, andmay be had from the publishers or at the bookstores. A Disagreeable Adventure. One day last week, three citizens of Exe- ter,went to Black Creek swamp for the pur- pose of'getting out' wood. The weather was stormy and: cold, and in order to make their horse comfortable they tied . it in an •old building. They walked a considerable distance in the :wood, and commenced oper- ations.. After working hard for some hours they Prepared for home, but upon making a start could find no trace of the footsteps •or trail by which they got there, the snow had filled them. They were in a dilemma ; their horse was at the road -side, here were they -possibly lost. Considerable deliber- ating was indulged in,, after whteh, the -three set out in different directions, in search of a clearance, and before many hun- dred yards had been trod two of the num- ber came upon the road, and without fur- ther consideration made a B-line for Exe- ter -a distance of five miles, leaving horse and its owner to fare as best they could. The owner of the horse who went in a northerly direction, discovered a clearance in the vicinity of mill, known as Brook's., He was totally lost for a time, and was al- most giving up in dispair. He discovered a house, and upon making enquiries learned that, by going back through the swamp be would have to travel but one mile and a quarter ; but to go by road the distance was about five miles, to where his horse stand, He followed the road, and with starlight in his eyes, found his horse, at 12 o'clock p. in. It is needless to say he was happy, although under ordinary circum stances he might feel chagrined. Nominations for municipal elections take Mlace on Monday 26thinst., and voting on onday, 2nd January. i`bw that.the winter season is here would it not be wise for the Mechanics' Institute to take some step towards establishing a pertnanent reading room, for, at least, the winter months, Such a move should be popular among the; philantlirophie elasses, as it would serve to keep many young men of the streets and out; of worse places dttr- ing the long evenings, and give them an opportunity rtunity testore their minds with use- ful-information, se- inLrfor etion. Almost everywzn this section of the Province has such an inStitn- Con, and it wottld require but very little sf'ort,to establish one here, ' Of course' the oil sent room is not sufficiently spai iotas, tat: one could easily be pr'oaured..

N;;r, Parsons,i' who resides at the 'ewer end of the village, picked from .his pile of reds the ether day, six znangolds which weighed 110 pounds, He wade an .exhibit of six at the Exeter fall fair, which downed the scales at 180. We have published items of heavyweight` anangohls, but we believe, Mr. Parsons' cape the climax. We worrki liketite bear of anybody who can produce' :larger or heavier lntulrgoids than those mentioned above, Seven years ago when Mr. Thos, Hand- ford ,Arab went to Manitoba, it took him 8 days to go from London, Out., to St. Vin- cent, Mau,, while hest week he made the same journey with 100 miles added, in three days. The cost seven years ago, was $37, while now the fare is reduced to something less than $27 ; and still the C. P. R is ruining the country incalculable. These factsshould dispel from the mind of eyery reasonable man such baso ideas. ESTRAY CATTLE.
