A pertinent piece of advice in the

riowaver hard you may have worked dur

might have been alone if one care to scroll
nize closely, even though the vision lee de-
festive and poverty too great to purchase

LOCAL HAPPENINGS.
Nice Present.
A great many new names have been
added to our list during the last two
weeks, by subscribers ordering TFiE

could be made, than a paper with all

Improvement Exemption.
.A. circular has been sent to the muni-
cipal councils throughout Ontario, so-
liciting opinions as to the feasibility of
taxing the land only, and allowing build-
ings to be exempt. The idea of the
scheme is to encourage the improvement
of all kinds of property. Under the
present law both the land and buildings
are taxed -and the more a building is im-
proved the taxes are proportionately
•increased. This discourages the owner,
and he improves his property only to an
extent absolutely necessary. Were the
tax placed on the land, improvements in
the shatter of building would proceed.
doubly. It is claimed that the farmers
would suffer. Not necessarily so. The
scheme is a good one, to our way of
thinking. The feeble, why should a man
be fined for putting up' buildings,d, in-
creasing the value of the adjoining
property and giving employment to
his fellow' citizens f Neither can we see
why farmers should trouble themselves
about these civic matters. Surely the
assessment law can be SO altered as to
let the farmer keep to the old way if he
chooses, while the towns and cities can,
et their option, adopt the principle of
taxing teal estate only. By the way is
there a fanner who will object to having
the taxes taken off the stock and imple-
' moats ? Why should any progressive
farmer do so

On Friday last, whilst a five year old
son of Mr. Alex. Knox of Centralia, was
getting out of a buggy at the post office,
Exeter, his knee struck the wheel and he
fell to the ground. One of the ladies with
whom he rode, was also alighting from the
rig, and not noticing the boy jumped on
him, breaking his leg, and otherwise injur-
him.
Up to the present time the indications
are that there will be at least three
aspirants for the wardenship of the county
of Eluron for 1890, namely Dr. Rollins of
Exeter ; D. D. Wilson of Seaforth ; and
Mr. Mcrllurchie, Clinton. Dr. Rol:ins has
as strong claims as either of the others and
will likely receive the appointment. The
council wi,l meet on Tuesday, 28th Jan.
While enjoying a cutter ride the other
day, during the few hours of scant sleigh-
ing, L. H. Dickson met with an accident
by which his cutter was somewhat demol-
ished. In turning a corner too sharply one
runner went over the end of a culvert, the
result being that one side of the rig suffered
total destruction, while Mr. D. was
landed several yards distant from the
cut'er. He gallantly held the lines and
prevented a runaway.
:t a recent meeting of freeholders in
S. S. No. 3, in 13iddulph tp., the following
resolution passed unanimously :—"Resoly

welfare of this township and country at
large cannot he effectually prom •ted with-
out lessening the exw bitant rate of interest
exacted by loan companies. Resolved,
that we are decidedly and unalterably de-

and we pledge ourselves to each other that
we will at the ensuing election support
those candidates only who will support us
in redressing our wrongs,"
Mr. Wm Graham of St. Marys, was in
town on Sato day and tells of a thrilling
experience on his late ocean voyage, He
went to Scotland to purchase horses for
importation. A few days after placing
them on the ship, " Warwick," a terrific
gale came on One of the waves which
struck the ship, tore off about 45 feet of
the deck. Six out of the seven horses on
the boat died inside of a week, three of
which belonged to Mr. Graham. Mr,
Graham has lost six horses in the same way
since last August. The captain says ho
has sailed the ocean for thirty-two years,
and never encountered such rough weather
before. Mr. G. will try it again.
Theother evening some youths of shallow.
brain sought to amuse themselves by
breaking in the doors and windows of the
building on Main.st., occupied by Mark
Clark._ They made a shameful wreck of
the house, destroying the property to a
considerable sum ; and if detected should`
be punished to the fullest extent of the
law. This is the second assault they have
teede'on the premises and in order to avoid
a repetition a close watch will be kept in
order that the miscreants may be caught:
If Mr. Clarke is repulsive to them there
are other 'means of ridding, him from the
building ; but if the act of 'cavinein" the
debts and windows was the outcome of
sheer deviltry, then the guilty ones ate

Why is it that in other towns and surrounding country
they speak so highly of the Photographs that are taken in
Exeter. And how is it that there am so many Phot's sent

WHY? Because Senior's work is as good -if not better
than any of the leading Galleries in the city ; and their
prices are $4 and $5 per doz., while they get them at

"Brazil and the Braganzas," written by
the Hon George Make,ioaoe Towle, and su-
perbly illustrated with portraits, views and
autograph lac -similes leads off the February
(Midwinter) number of Frank Leslie's Pop-
ular Monthly with admirable timeliness. It
is the first complete and illustrated maga
zine paper on the subject that has appeared
since the revolution of November 14th. An
artioe s on the Smithsonian Institution and
the National Museum at Washington is full
of interesting information which every
American ought to possess. .The biographi,
cal papers are a sketch of Louisa M. Al -
cattle noble and fruitful , life, and a delightful
account of the boyhood of the poet Schiller.
"The Land of the Lute," written and illus-
trated by Herbert Pierson, , gives an artist's
reminiscences of a sojourn in fair Provenoe,
the home of the Troubadours, the anoien
Rome of Gaul, and the birthplace of the re-
doubtable Tartarin of :Tarasoon. A. L.
Rawson contributes a racy Oriental -paper,
illustrated with his own. sketches, and Prof
:L B Fletcher gives an entertaining and in-
struotive "Talk aboutPhotography." There
are novelettes by Lucy Hooper, W H Sivi-
