Advance Council, No 206, R T. of T, ;ave an interesting entortaivarnot in the lecture room of James St Meth odist church, Monday evening, which was well attended despite the inclemency of the weather. The Hensall council was expected but did not put in their appear- ance, save Mr Markhatn who gave a recitation. The remainder of the program consisted of readings, recitations and mucic by members of the Council, and short addresses by the Reads Wi'son, Martin and Russel. .At the close of the entertainment members and friends re- paired to the Council rooms and partook of the delicacies thereprovided. Upon the whole it was a grand success, and shows that temperance sentiment is net on the wane in Exeter. The collection was fairly good. Birthday Celebration, An evening's outing at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Grieve. On Friday last, Mr. Jas H. Greive cele- brated his 24th birthday, and in honor of the same, invited those of his most inti- mate friends; and alonglwith them his em- ployees to an oyster supper and to spend au evening's enjoyment under his roof. Upwards of twenty-five different persons were present and spent one of those enjoy- able nights you read about. The house open completely at their guests' control, everything was made merry. The laugh- ter with the screech of the fair -maidens could be distinctly heard a block away, and just when everything was going at its best and everybody was crowded into the large parlor, Mr Wellington Johns stepped forward and calling the crowd to order, read the following address to Mr. Grieve : MAR Sia. -We your employees take this opportunity to express to you our appreciatic n of your endeavors to further our individual interests, and trust that the harmony that has characterised our united efforts may continue without interruptions. We congratulate you on this your ?4th Birthday and trust you may be .pared to see many happy return(' of the day.. You will kindly accept this ring, (not for its intrinsic value) but as a meme nto of the esteem and love we have for you, .Signed on behalf of the shop employees. MIss KATIE Al Ku. soar, ( WELLINGTON JOJNs, Jr Grieve was completely dumbfounded at this break in the proceedings, but nev- ertheless collected himself and responded in a very able manner under the circum- stances, and everything was made merry once more. But at 11 o'clock another break occurred; this time the merry call to supper was heard and everybody rushed for his or her partner and a general for- ward march issued. On reaching the din- ing -room a very pleasant and gorgeous,,. sight fell before eyes. Table from-sone end of the dining room to the other was creaking under its weight of good things. provided by the good hostess!, and when all were seated the oysters were served up and everybody seemed delightfully happy, and partook of a very hearty meal. After supper the usual toasts were proposed and responded to, in a good and jolly way and in the rkie ma' hours everybcdy dispersed for theirseveral homes, wishing that Mr. Grieve's birthday would come often. -Coax.

The conjunction of these two stars was interesting to observe, and at aix o'clock were as closely together as pos- sible, Jupiter almost eclipsing bin ruddy rival. The St Marys papers are still howling about the Exeter market, and cannot un- derstand why it is that farmers, in Blan- shard will market their grain in Exeter, notwithstanding that St Marys (according to the papers only) buyers payfrom three to five cents more than is paid in Exeter. 'i•he fact of the matter is tanners are honestly dealt with in Exeter, and go but little on imaginary high prices. It is a fallacy for St Marys to presume to pay more than is paid in Toronto for grain, and the papers might harp away on their pre- sent strain, from now until doomsday, and then not irnpress the farmers otherwise than that Exeter is the better market for their pockets. _ Do NoT BE DECErvED-All ' Baking Pcw. dere are .not equally good.
