The work of remodeling the mill has commenced. When completed Exeter will have one of the best mills in this section. The fishing season has opened, and several large strings of nice looking fish have been caught. The date is somewhat early, but owing to the open winter the season is thus further advanced.

Alen who want the whole earth should remember that it is said to weigh 5,S74, - 003,O60,000, UUO,000 tons, Mr. Thomas Cann has a ram lamb, oue month old, which weighs 42 pounds. Who can beat that for 80 young a lamb? A tweet*ng of the Board of Trade was held on 11'eduesday evg. Some important business was trausacted. Dr. J. P. Kennedy. son of Rev. James Kennedy, formerly of Centralia, has been appointed House Surgeon of the London General Hospital. By the ereetion of a new front Mr. Christie hoe made a marked improvement to the Pickard property recently purchased by him. Fall wheat, notwithstanding the open and adverse winter looks fairly well, and if nothing untoward happens, the yield is likely to be a good one. The medical men say that there is not as melt sickness about town this sprmg as formerly, n hivh can probably he accounted for by the diet that la grippe took hold of them so well when it was on deck, The Engineer has been taking a level of the train Wong Ann street and will report at next mato; of eouncil whether there is entlieicnt des,:eizt to provide for a proper outlet. A great many farmers throughout this sewtion have commenced seeding. The land works well and if a very cold spell does not set in, we may expect the crops to advance very rapidly. Now is the time to Olean backyards, privies, cesspools, wells and other places requiring cleaning. According to law all pleees must be put into proper shape be- fore May rhe membership of the Salvation Army has inereaeed eensiderably of late. The new of leers are working hard. They in- tend having a Banquet in a eoup'e of weeks. at wbi,,h officers and Isolator* from summating corps will he present. It may be of interest to some of our readers to know that the 7th of :l1ay next will be the last day for the redemption of the notes of the City hank, Royal Canadian Bank and Consalidatcd Beek, and that after that the bills of these Banks will be worthless. While plowing on Monday, Mr. Louis Wolper severely injured his right leg. The land was about to fall back into the fur- row and to prevent it, 1r. W, made a side kiek, and land being light, his foot broke the end displacing Sthc kilo joint. The brass tablet in commemoration of the consecration of the Trlvitt Memorial church in December of last year came from Toronto last week. It bears an inscription awl the arms of the 'Bishop of Huron, a mitre with erossed,swords and the word "Baldwin" as a motto. Sunday last the weather wai extremely worm, and everything partook much of spring time. On Tuesday however, the thermometer took a drop, and fur coats and caps were again in vogue. It is hoped that this is the last cool spell, and that spring may "set in" in. earnest. From a private letter from Mr L Thorne of Los Angeles, California, formerly of Exeter, we learn that he is doing well in the Golden State. His many friends in this country will be pleased to know that he is peesporing in business and is copse• quently in comfortable circumstances. The other day we were shown Mr. Alex. McPherson'a collection of stuffed birds, the majority of which he has collected hicnse'f. The collection is something immense and embraces nearly all the species in North America. Mr. McPherson is quite an ornithologist and takes a great interest in the science of birds. A second of a series of monthly horse and cattle fairs was held in Exeter on Tuesday. The attendance was large and considerably more stock was sold than on the former occasion. Many buyers were present, and what coule not be sold pri- vately was disposed of by auction, Good prices were realized, and sellers as well as buyers seemed wholly satisfied. Quite a number of our Canadian towns have adopted the idea of teaching the youth of the Dominion patriotism be erecting flag staffs on the different school buildings, from which the flag of the country will be flung to the breeze on anniversaries of days made memorable in the history of Canada. This is a splendid idea and we hope to see it generally adopted. Which of out trus- tees will bring the matter up at the next meeting of the Board of Education ? We feel confident it will be received with popu- lar favor. The cricketers held their meeting on Friday evg. last at which the following officers were elected : Hon. Pres. Isaac Carling; Pres. Dr. Lutz; Vice -Pres. W. Carling ; Committee W. E. Gundy, W. J: Bissett, S. B. Rimmington, I. R. Carling. Secy, Treas. Fred Elliot. The member- ship fee is $1 and any persons wishing to become members will kindly advise the Secy. Last year's grounds have been rented for the coming season and no doubt the club will prove a success both financi- ally and cricketiugly as the game is always on the increase. The warmth in the air is the first hint that spring is almost here. The buds now show themselves on the trees, the grass, is growing, he birds sing most lustily, the red -breasted robin can be seen hopping from branch to branch, and there will be a gentle stirring of the leaves by the way- side and the wayfarer, looking down, will see that a flower has been born and is seeking the warm air and .the bright sun- light. It is in the spring, too, by the way, according to the poet, who probably knew what he was talking about, that "a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love." But who the young is he does not mention, The Queen's Birthday falls on Saturday this year, and in several places an agitation is already on foot to postpone the fermi celebration till Monday. One argument used is that it is all the same to Her Majesty whether the clay is observed on market day or washing day. This is the view which the Queen and councillors have always taken. It is only 'iii the colonies where the uniform practice of celebrating her Majesty's national day on the 24th of May has been followed. 'In England and Scotland the magistrates of each town and city fixon the day which suits the mass of the people best. If it is anywhere within a week of the 24th no one kicks. Of course the bankersancl public officials have to observe the actual day as a holiday, it. Zetpoltlin ft L.

Testimony of Esteem, Prior to leaving for Winnipeg, Mrs. Janes Fairbairn was presented with a well-filled purse accompanied by an address. Mrs. Fairbairn has been an assiduous church worker and the presen- tation was made by about fifty of the church members, Mrs. Fairbairn is highly esteemed, and many presents were tendered by personal friends, A Vase Act, Some of the village youths who aspire for musical celebrity have conceived a novel plan of eluding the Sabbath ob- servance act. They go to the wood and pursue their practise on a bass horn. At a distance the strains sound beauti- ful, though possibly they are discordant in good hearing. We would advise the youths to go a little farther out of town, if they wish to be not heard. The Produce •th;arl ot, The vote on Thurzday last for the purpose of advising the eouncil as to whether or not it should pass a bylaw establishing a cash market for butter and eggs and othersmall produce at the town ball, resulted in favor of the market be- ing established, by a majority vote of ei;htytwo. The council will doubtless take action upon the matter at its next meeting, and it is probable that the by. law asked for will be passed in duo course. We hope the market will get a fair trial, and that the interests of the citizens will be carefully guarded.. Fire, At about twenty minutes of twelve o'clock, on Saturday night, the town was aroused from its peaceful slumbers by the ringing of the fare -alarms. Soon the streets were lined with excited, half awakened people, rushing to the quarters whence the indications of the contla. ;ration crime. The fire engines were also quickly enroute ; but upon learning that the "Hot Reuse," formerly occupied by Mr. Murdock, florist, was the ill- fated building the crowd soon dispersed, disgusted, yet pleased that the lite was not More serious. The Mire was the work of some mischievous youths as the building was unoccupied. A Melancholy* Death. On Friday evg. last a and and sudden death occurred in Exeter. On Thursday a young lady—Annie McCurdy --of the Thames road, Osborne, came to Exoter to learn dressing -making with Miss Essory, The young lady enjoyed com- paratively good health and had eaten a hearty breakfast on Friday morning. Shortly after breakfast she was taken violently ill and at 8 o'clock that evg. her soul took its departure. Cause of death was conceded to bo inflammation of the brain, the effects of la grippe, an attack of which she suffered some time ago. The parents were notified of their child's illness, but before they could reach her she was a corpse, having died in the presence of comparative strangers. Tho remains were taken to the family iesidenco on Saturday morning and on Monday afternoon were interred in Roy's cemetery, Hibbert. The affair was sad indeed, and the family of the deceased have the sympathy of the com- munity in which she was better known as also the people of Exeter. Personals.

The Exeter checker club visited Ailsa Craig last Monday evg, to play a snatch with the club of that town. Leaving Exeter about3.45, after amost enjoyable drive reached Ailsa Craig about 7 p. m., and found every preparation made for their enjoyment. A fter supplying the wants of the inner man they were es- corted to the town hall where play was at once commenced. The score, which is subjoined, was very much in favor of the home team but Exeter is in hopes of getting even when . the return match is played which is "expected to take place in about two weeks.

The market for the past week has been but fairly attended, the bad roads keeping farmers from getting to town and render- ing the grain trade dull. The business situation in Chicago is that the market is very nervous. Hutchinson is a persistent buyer, while bad crop reports still continue to come in. The British grain crop promises to be fine and healthy. Cables quiet and firm. On Monday evening last as the 5.30 flyer was coming in to the yard at Niagara Falls she struck a tramp walking on the end of the ties, throwing him into the ditch, badly breaking his right arm and otherwise injuring him. He was brought to the depot and a doctor set his arm. The railway authorities handed him over to the police. He gave his name as Wm. Trudeu of Glasgow, Scotland. Threeyoung misses attending the Central school, Brantford, "poked" from school one day last week and hit upon a novel idea to raise funds to help themselves out in a lark. Passing themselves off as collectors for the North Star mission they collected forty-two cents from charitable people, and blew it in for candies and gum. Of course they were found out and compelled to return the money. These naughty girls are about nine years of age, and should know better. On Monday evg., last the members of the Exeter Harmonica Orchestra met in the town hall, for disbandment. The Secy. Treas. handed in his report, which shows the total receipts for the season to be $54,76, and the total expenditure $38.49, which leaves a small balance to be divided among the members. The Orchestra feels itself amply repaid by the benefits it has received, from practise and the help it has been able to render to. the societies for which it has played.
