She Value of Advertising People who are inclined to believe that advertising does not pay, will do well to snake a note of this .fact.

This week two of the older settlers of thii section, in the persons of Mrs. Ann .Simpson, relict of the late Wrn. Simpson, ,of Exeter' North, and Jane Box, wife of Mr. Jatiles Box, of Stephen township, have passed into eternity, the former at the age of 66 years and 24 days, the latter, 76 • ,sears and 3 mos. Mrs. Simpson died at ;her daughter's in Winthrop. Both ladies were highly respected and widely known. The respective funerals took place yester- day anadeach wap largely attended. • The Bustle. We have received from a reader, a com- munication on the subject of "Ladies' bustles,'.' and owing to the indefensible fair position thesex1 holt, and havinore- gard for our bead and fear of their tongue and the strange but timely and convincing rbroom•stiok, we retrain from puolishing. the same. In his hatred for them, "'Reader" characterises the bustle, as .obnoxious as small pox and as expensive ;as the running of a provincial parliament. He says that, each year, there is sufficient money spent in the purchase of. bustles, to build a great many churches and pay mood salaries to ministers sent among the heathens. We are not prepared to back. tip our would-be contributor's statements --we have not figured the cost of bustles :for every lady in Ontario and applied it to purposes above named. However, we think, if the ladies are inclined to so adorn ithersely*es, all writing and effort on the Bier of reformers will be fu tile. We would advise "Reader" to :direct his attentions to some other and more possible reforma- tion. eforma t , ion; lett of J'nay. The approaching 12th July promises to te. a )great da. for Exeter' as :well as for .the brethrenday of the orange. Of all the .demonstrations ever held in Ontario, •the one announced. for Exeter on the 12th ;;Brox will undoubtedly eclipse all. Pre. parations have butt commenced, and the management is confident of 'a auecessful .day. And judging from the programme .of speakers wo may expect some stirring .addresses. Among those Who will take part we notice the names of such prominent ;and influential personages, as: 3. L. :tlughes, N. Clarke Wallace, Dr- Oronhy, sttelc,t and w, W. Fitegerald. The brethren ;from London, Middlesex and Lambton as well as the entire brotherhood of ninon leave signified their intention of being pre- ,sent. tri order to give the visitors a full bay's entertaittrnent a .grand display of fireworks will lie given in the evening by Prof, Band of Hamilton.

Over three hundred pieces at prices that will astonish you. Messrs. Crossley and Hunter have decided to remain in Exeter for two weeks longer. Thousands of persons attend their meetings nightly. Tuesday evening the country people thronged into town as nu- merously as is the case on fair days. The militia camp will be held in Strat- ford again this year, instead of Windsor, the difference in cost of transportation being $8,000in favor of Stratford. The camp will go to Windsor next year, how- ever. A meeting of the cricketers was held on Thursday last. A large attendance. Ar- rangements : were made to commence practice at once. New goods have been purchased and in a short time. Exeter will have a good team. A valuable brood mare belonging, to Mr. Alex.

Turn 'a man with his face to the wall. If he is perfectly moulded :and symmetri- cally made his chest will just touch the wall, his nose will be four inches away, his thighs five inches and the end of his toes three inches. The semi-annual meeting of the County Orange Lodge of East Middlesex was held in London on Saturday last, at ',which there was a large and representative at. tendance. It was decided that the breth- ren of the county celebrate the corning 12th of July at Exeter as a body. Two gentlemen from Watford passed north the other day,looking for a young man who had hired a livery in that town, about a week ago, and who had. not been seen or heard, of since. ' The horse is styled as a chestnut pony drawing a low light buggy. The attendance at the Janres St. Metho- dist church last Sunday evening to hear Revs Crossky and Hunter was very large, , scores, of people having to leave the church, beirg unable to gain admittance. Over 200 persons have been converted, The evangelists will complete their work here it :xt week. Dr. Oronhyatekha, Supreme Chief Ranger of the I. 0. 10., has issued a circular to the, different courts of the Order throughout Itis jurisdiction, asking the members to return "thanks to our Heavenly.

On Saturday a Montreal buyer shipped.a carload ot ores. fair ec'mens f sacrapurpose h s i o 1 Exeter is the centre of a good sock country and weekly large shipments are made frail this place.' A regular monthly sale for horses and cattle, especially horses, well advertised, would in the course of time be a boon. to Exeter. Farmers of the district and buyers from distant` parts would attend these sales with the result that town, the buyers, and the farmers would be greatly benefitted. Farmers who. have stock for sale, would have an opportunity: of exhibiting such stook, which might otherwise ber overlooked ; and buyers would have abetter. chance of buying a load of superior horses in shorter time and at less expense than is now the case, travelling day after day through the country.: The town in general would also be a gainer by haying a crowd of the much appreciated agriculturists and stock' men visit us regularly every month or two. The local Board of Trade have this matter under consideration, and it is expected that, at an early date, something definite will be made known in this connection. Let us give it a .trial ; and we incline to the belief. that if the affair is - properly managed it will prove a success, since it is generally known throughout Canada and: the United States that Huron county is a great stock field. Board of Trade The • monthly meeting of the general Board of Trade was called for Friday evg. last. Several members were on hand, but an insufficient number to constitute a quarom, consequently the meeting dispers- ed. This will not do. If the business men of Exeter wish to accomplish the purposes of bringing the town into activity -commercially and otherwise, and boom- ing trade, they mustpuil together and cast to thewinds, those petty prejudices and absolute - self -interests which, for years, having done much in the way of retarding the desired progress of our love- 1Y>Atetty, and go-ahead town.n. During the year cur population has greatly in- creased, our business interests have be- come more important and extended ; and now that we are about to experience still` brighter and more prosperousseasous in our town, it behooves the citizens generally to;put shoulders to the wheel, and all work with a will, for the common pur- pose of advancing our interests in every possible way. And to do this the Board of Trade will have to considermore fully and ` e council, ecutiv theirto the ex Glut the citizens generally their allegiance to the Board of Trade. The Counal, at the. present time has iu action, several un portant matters touching upon the town's welfare, and to accomplish which ,the aid of the merchants and citizens is certainly. required.
