B Carling, Secy. of the Exeter $ at Works .o., informs us that Mr. Men, ram. who was referred to last weer; as having endeavored to purchase the Exeter did not negotiate for its purehase— at least net otileially. If offers were made, It must have been to irresponsible persons. Mr. lIegnandcr who has herd the position t,f risbotdinateclerk in the nelsons bauk, in Exeter for some time, received woo d on Wednesday of la removal to a branch of the sane bank at west Toronto junction. lir . H. has many fiends in Exeter, who while regretting his departure will be pleas ed to learu of his promotion. The weather of the past few days has . been of a very mild type. The days were warrn and the nights equally so. Tuesday night a very strong west wind prevailed, but the breezes were as balmy as those of the month o[ June, and people you'd have gone outdoors without a coat; in comfort. A broth 'r of Mrs Robert Young of Wingbam. left for the States when very young, and froan the first has been clerking for a very rich merchant, the same being a bachelor. A few weeks ago the merchant died, when Mts'Young's brother and also the bead Look -keeper of the firm received the neat little stun of 075,000 each. Miss Mary Ann Vale, who has been ill for some time of consumption at her parents, in Exeter north, died on Wednes- day. She was aged 22 years. Until joining the Salvation Army, the deceased was apparently a healthy girl, but it seems that from exposure incident to Army work, she contracted consumption, and gradually grew worse until death. The first of a series of lectures uuder the auspices of the lonng People's Christian Endeavor Society of the James-st. Meth. church was given ou Thursday evening last by Rev. I. B. A.ylesworth, L. L. B. of St. Thomas, Subject : "Is Marriage a Failure " The lecture was a meat inter- esting one, and the speaker proved con- clusively, and apparently without room for contradiction that marriage is not afailure, but a great and grand success. Lost S'iuday was Candlemas Day, on which, according to an old English tradi- tion. the ground -hog emerges from his hole and looks around for bis shadow. If he sees it, he returns for three months, and winter continues for that period, but if he sees it not, he walks abroad and sees life, and spring comes on apace. Aecording to reports received from various parts of the continent, the ground -hog was singularly unsuccessful in beholding his shadow on Sunday last, but as spring set in away back in November, it is hard to say what sig- nificance o ch to the omen. sold a:to The destruction of unoccupied buildings still goes on. There are a few vacant stores on Main street, and almost nightly some miscreants practice the breaking of the windows, and otherwise damaging the property. This conduct has been continued so long and'with such bold persistency that patience has ceased to be a yirtue. and we "'tad 85 for Releasing tiie Dog. e somewhat enteresting case was tried Ir, 're Messrs. Snell & Clarke, J.Ps. on iJ .(lay. It appears that for some time Yr. Jos. Gill of Hay township, has been t;vnbled with some wily animal killing some of his fowl, and to exterminate the offender, he purchased several traps, placing them at ,various points on his remises, as also 'on those of his neigh- bor, Mr. A. Foster, with permission. Things went on nicely, until the other morning, when Ohara Holtzman, who is Mr. Foster's hired servant, hearing his employer's dog howling, went to its as- sistance and found it caught in the trap. Young Holtzman could not open the trap, and in order to free the dog smashed the trap. He afterwards des- troyed the other traps. Mr. Gill had him brought before the Exeter .Magis- trates who fined the lad . $3 and costs. Mr. Collins who was retained for the defence, intends to appeal againtstsgie decision of the magistrates, as he:'Milds that the boy did a natural and merciful act in freeing the dog, and as the tiap ,could not be opened, owing to the fran- tic state of the dog, the only recourse left was to destroy the trap. Mina rd.'s Liinimcut curesGarget in Cows. ¢snivels A.rrntversary. The anniversary of the Thames Road Presbyterian church was held on Sun- day and Wednesday last. On Sunday special sermons were preached by the Rt -v. Mr. Fletcher in the morning and Rev. Jasper Wilson in the evening. Mr. Clement was announced to have preach- ed in the evening, but owing to all Mittel; of ceettestaou et the lungs, the result of the la grippe, Mr. Wilson sup- plied for him. Both sermons were eloquent, logical and impressive and proved very interesting to the congre- gations. On Wednesday a saered concert was given in the church. The talent on this occasion was from Sea - forth and Exeter. The attendance was largo and the concert a 'grand success. Vfilage Goundl, Tire village council met on Saturday erg. last, with all the members present. On motion of W. G. Bissett and H. Spackman, Messrs, J. V. Ross and L. 11.

The monthly meeting of the South Huron ministerial association was held in St, Paul's Episcopal church, Hensel!, on Monday of this week. The subject, "The sai its shall judge the earth," and we shall judge angels was introduced briefly by Rev. Mr Bridgman and fol lowed by discussion. Rev. Jasper Wil- son read a paper on "The purposes sub - salved by the plain bible statement of the sins of its good men." This also was followed by a.i interesting discussion. Then all the ministers present were callee upon to give outlines of their sermons preached the day before, which wore in each case criticized. This being the annual as well as the monthly meet- ing the following officers were elected for the year :— President, Rev. Jasper Wilson; Vice -President, Rev. 0. H.

Obituary, One of the oldest residents of Exeter, in the person of Alexander Davie, died on Thursday morning last, at' the age of 75 years, after a lingering, infirm illness. The deceased was born in Lennoxshire, Scotland, in 1814.

Spicer has sold his house and lot to Mrs. Hawkins of Exeter, for the sum of $500. The Exeter grist mill was sold on Tuesday under- power -of mortgage, at the instance of the Molson Bank, to a Mr. Brown of the. town of Simooe, for $5,000 There were'saveralbidders but offers were slow, there being some diffi- culty apparent over the water, privilege in connection with the mill, and which no douttt deterred others from partici- pating in the bidding. Mr. Brown, the purchaser, is a manof means and energy, and a practical miller, so that wo may expect soon to have a mill operating in 7+xeter, equal to any in Ontario: He will at once commence to remodel it for the roller process. The landed property of 30 acres, contained inthesame mort- gage was not sold. diONSMrfaXIIIIrrno RI --AT CLEARING SALE- RICiiARD of his farm in 1879, he and his children (his wife having died in 1875) moved to Granton, where he resided for four years. In the year 1886, Mr. Davie, a son and two daughters, moved to Exe- ter, and lived in retirement. The de- ceased had always enjoyed comparatively good health and until recently appeared quite smart. Mr. Davie was of a quiet, unassuming disposition, and was respect- ed by all who knew him. He leaves three sons and three daughters —Alex- ander and Mary, in Exeter ;. Thomas, in Manvers John, in Kennington ; Mrs. H. Gardiner. in Kincardine-.; Mrs. J. McNaughton; Blanchard. The funeral took place on Saturday and was largely attended.
