Wall Wheat Has come through the winter in good cosiclition, and the last two falls of snow have been a great aid to it. As a general thin, fall wheat suffers most in the early spring after the snow goes off, and when there are sunny days and frosty nights. However, the spring now is getting too far advanced, unless we have unusual weather, tor any dangerto be apprehended from this source. Farmers are now busily engaged harrowing and rolling their -wheat fields, and applying a top dressing of salt -200 to 300 pounds to the acre. c lean Up. This is the time of the year that every resident of the village should commence to clean up their yards, by burning the refuse or otherwise disposing of the ac• cumulations of a•by-gone winter. Every household can do much towards helping the Board of Health in keeping onr village in a good sanitary condition. Now, the tleaning up process should. begin as early as possible so that when the warm weath- sr comes it svill find the village rid of all rubbish that would tend to breed and foe - ser feyers and epidemics.

'The two temperance revivalists, Messrs. Irish ancl Mills, labored with the Royal 'Templars of Temperance of Exeter during last week. At each meeting the attend- ancewas good, and we understand a number have since joined the society. The singing and recitations were appreci- ated. Their labors we presume might have been much more fruitful, had the revivalists not so frequently gave ex- pression of their dis-satisfaction of the amount of collection. While it evinced elfishness on their part it served as a sort of centive to the public that monetary gain was the major, it not the sole effort ,of their mission. Board of Trade. The value of organized effort in any causehas been so clearly demonstrated that the adage "Union is strength," is now accepted as an axiom. The want of an organization composed of representatives of our commercial, industrial, and menu. lecturing inteteets has been severely felt in Exeter for a long time. Opportunities of almost daily occurrence are being pres. ented which could be turned to good ed - vantage if Exeter had a 13oard of Trade. We have time and again advocated the formation of sneer s coundil but to no perpose. if we had a good Board of Tuade many things desired and necessary :70 EXOtOr might be had, 'Various pro. posals to ettablish divers manufacturing itidestries in oer midst could. have been taken hold of and duly considered the perk-paclung establiebreent, talked of -tiering the winter, vvould in all probability have beer' pushed on, and -Mr, Pickard delight have been induced to transtorm Ms -mill into one of rollerproeess. tOe et waro a host of matters of im- portance to the corporation that need mokieg after, and with each passing do golden opportunitieg are slipping by for Want et ars orgaisized effort to posh on the nterestsi Exeter, OrevItleie List Sunday was'Pairn Sunday.

The millinery openings of the various busiuess places this spring haveeabeen superb -best for some years. The Exeter base ball club are trying to arrange a match with some outside club to be played here on the 21th of May. The Vail family who left Exeter some time ago for London to reside, have re- turned and will make this a permanent abode. To -morrow is Good Friday. Every rifle and shot gun in town has been en- gaged. Wath our accident column next week. The Exeter grain merchents are daily cleaning and shipping their barley. They report the margins as being very meagre. Mr. Thos Fitton has purchased from Mr. Geo. Hind the lot adjoining the resi- dence of Mr. Solon:ea Manning, on, An- drew St., for a fair consideration. On Thursday last Mr. Prier's horse took fright at a locomotive at the station and ran away, The animal sustained sliglit injury and the cart was partially broken. If the building operations of 1889 in Exeter do not exceed those of 1888 we will have greatly miscalculated. There pro- mises to be a long anil busy season this year. This being Holy week eervices are being held in the Trivitt Memorial church, at 8 o'clock in the morning. Speeial ser- vices will be conducted in all the churches tomorrow. The St. Mary's Ministerial assodatiOn have [resolved to discountenance and dis- continue Sunday funerals in the future "as they are a direct violation of the spirit and obligation of the Sabbath." The masons are rapidly pushing onward the erection of the additions to the Ver- ity ag'l works, The building in which the main tnachinery is to be placed has al- most attained full proportion. Two employes of the Bell Telephone Co., have been busy this week removing the telephone office from R. Hick's jewelry store to Chas. Eacrett's harness shop, which is soon to be occupied by Mr. Hicks. Owners of horses should call at the TitiEs office if they want route bills or cards punted on short notice. A large sta-ff of workmen and a splendid assort- ment of good cuts. The lowest prices are charged. The Ingersoll merchants refuse to pay mintage tax this year for watering the streets and the council refuse in return to put the burden on thestown as a whole, which, if paid by the town means only one-eighth of a mill on the dollar. Maus. Reith and Wolf, of Hay and Stephen, have purchased a three•year-old Imported Clydesdale Stallion "Auld Lang Syne" from Mr. Wm- Graham, of St. Marys. They will travel him on the (Boydstone Boy) route of last year. But warm's the weather For days together The spring is fickle, as sages say ; And to keep from coughing You wont be doffing Your heavy flannels. at least till May. Farmers throughout this section of the country have this spring found the sugar making a profitable business -or at least the sap has run well and much syrup and sugar has been made, the syrup getting a ready market at from Si. to $1.25 per gal I on. Messrs. Verity & Son sustained a loss of $50. on Friday by the breaking of two new grindstones. They had just been re- ceived, and while the riggings for their suspension were being erected, the stones were stood on the ground. In the mean- time the obstacle supporting them gave way and the stones falling one against the other, both broke The plaster of the ceiling of the Main- st. Methodist church has been taken clown and pine substituted. The carpen- ters have completed their part and now the painters are busily engaged oiling the same. There is some talk of the erection of a new entrance and tower to the church but the question has not been settled. The chinch, it is expected, will be opened about the first prox. Rev. G. H. Cobbledick of Guelph an old Exeter boy got himself into trouble recently. During his discourse on a Sun- day evening he made reference to whiskey being the cause of Harvey the Guelph murderer shooting his wife and two clasiehters. As a consequence Mr. Cob- bledick was called upon to prove his statements, and tailing to do so to the sat- isfaction of the court, hessvas severely re- buked, Whether out of mischief or with pre- meditated intent on distructiveness, the youths, who, the other evening, removed tome gates from their respective hangings, anin sotne instances seriously damaged the property, should be rigidly punished if found out ; and an effort should be made to discover their identity. It is passing strange that property of people which is in- tended for use as well as ornament cannot be passed by these despicable youths with. out their despoiling hands being laid on it. Gates were removed from the premises of Mr. Thomas Fitton and Mr Lang, the former ending hie in a mortar dissolution, the latter not having as yet found his. A few good lashes might teach each destruct ors a life-long lesson, An exciting glove contest took place at the gymnasium est 67 Main -et. on Thurs- day night last, the contestants being the "Unknown and George Kilbake, both of Exeter. The combatants were in prime eondition. The unknown is a short, well built man while tilbake is a large tall, powerful fellow and is very adapt! with the gloves, Kilbake started off with his right, striking his opponent in the cheat and received in return a blow under the chin which knocked him down. Kilbake was again knocked down in the fourth icund, and he failed to respond when Time was called, awes dieg the fight to the unknown. The manager of the "Gym" being an expert challenged the 'unknown to a two roiled contest, which was ac- eepted. The manager was knocked out in the first round. Quite a umber witnesetel the affair. Children Co/ for Pitche g Cactori Entpft Exchange. Th e Her Mr, Harris, of Parkhill, on Sunday last exchanged pulpits with reverand Mr. Wilson of the Main -et church, Exeter. Kr, Harris in the morning preached be the Presbyterian ehurch ; in the evening' occupying the pulpit of the Main- at olsurch, delivering on both oocasione eloquent and impressive emenone. On Saturday evening the Rev. gentleman addressed a temperance meat, mg and was in the midst of some good and convincing arguraents, when Isis poli- tioal feelings, so easily stirrei to intense heat., getting the better of his judgment, n eared him off his course into the dark ways of political crookedness, causing his temperance admonitions to avail but little. A person who attempts to address teteperance meeting would do well to remember that as a general thing he is addressing people of different politics ; and that in order to accomplish the pro- fessed purpose, will find it better to leave political matters out of the question. Deatttof Robert Bueitell. A. former well k nownsreaident of Exeter and vicinity in the person of the above named, died at his home in Goderich on the 14th inst, at the age of 83 years. Deceased in formv years conducted a farm at the eastein precincts of Exeter, and by toil and by good management saved a little money. Desiring a change he sold his farm and moved to Zurich where he engaged in the tin and. hard- ware business and at which lie diligently worked until a couple ,01 yeters ago, when, finding his health failing he sold his busi- ness to Messrs. M. Zeiler & Son, and moyed to Goderieh where rest and the advantages of fresh water might be had. At times Mr, Buswell felt improved in health, but the effects of a severe cold and oyes -work had become too deep-seated, and he graduallysank into a stete of consumption, dying as :above. His re- mains were brought to Exeter me Tuesday and buried in Exeter cemetery with Masonic honors. He leaves a wife and several small children, to whom much sympathy goes out. Mr, Buswell was a man of many good qualities, being affable, public spirited, energetic -yet quite unassuming; and at all times sociable, and in a harmless way, jocose. He was highly esteemed iu Zurich ; in fact, wherever known, every acquaintance had a good word to say of him. Thus a young life and promising career has been ended. Don't forget Dr. Burn's lecture on the "Irish Cause" in Drew's hall on Good Friday evening. A rich treat in store for all who hear Dr. Burns tomorrow evening. Mr. Folland, who has been seriously ill, has sufficiently recovered to take a walk. The fishing season ban commenced and the spdrtively inclined are daily after "suckers" in some instances with mueh success. A new postal regulation, raising the postage on drop letters from one to two cents in towns and cities where there is a delivery system, will shortly be adopt- ed. This will not effect Exeter. A number of the members of Court Exeter, I. 0. F. Visited Crediton on Sunday and with the brethren there attended divine service in the Gertnan church in that village, the Rev. Mr. Staebler delivering an able, eloquent and impressive discourse in the English tongue. The Exeter brethren epee:lc-well of the reception given them by the Cred- iton court, as also of their entertainment during the day. The °uteri° Government has appointed Mr. Phillip Sipple, of Zurich, t� the office of bailiff of the Tenth Division Court of the County of Huron, instead of Mr. E. Bossenberry, resigned. In selecting Mr. Sipple as a suceessor to Mr. Bossenberry, the authorities displayed good judgement, Being possessed of every requisite quality and a man of integrity, Mr. Sipple is em- inently qualified for the position and will do credit to the office as did his prede- ceesor. Dashwood. -- BRIEFS.--Last Friday night brought a slight fall of snow, Saturday was, there- fore, a favorable day for sport. Messrs. R, Cook, F. Noll aud H.

Who will say Dashwoad is not progressing? All we want now is the daily mail from Exeter to assist our rising village. SUDDEN DEATIL-A sudden death oc- curred here on Thursday 11th inst. Mrs. John Wing of the Bronson line went to visit a neighbor Mr. Win Wright. She was apparently in the best of health and partook of a hearty dinner. Soon after dinner she complained of a strange sensa- tion in her hands. The symptoms became worse and. paralysis ensued and in a few minutes she passed away. Her remains were interred In thelBronson lisle cemetery on Sunday last. The funeral was a large ORB. APOPLEXY, pneumonir, rheumatism are prevented and somoved by Warner's Safe Ger°. Why? Dr. Geo.
