Those who have an interest in the wel- fare of their town should never buy abroad if they can do as w elI at home, Our mer chants keep as fine stocks as can be found in any store in the county., and as to prices the same class of goods cannot be bought for less money. In milliuery, too, they go to great expense in seenring the latest fashions and employing the best milliners, so that they are deserving of patronage. Provisions are alike low in Exeter, yet how many spend their money in other markets ? It is a craze that some peo- ple have for going abroad for almost every thin they use, but it should not be so. Support home trade and you help yourself as well as the town in which you get your living. Married at Ingersoll.— The many friends of Mr W. E.

They will return to reside in Woodstock and .their many friends - with them a belie, happy and prosperous life of connubial felicity. The bride was hand- somely attired and Iooked quite charming. What would the ministers of Exeter think of the situation if they found them- selves in the position of a brother minister at Coliingwood, At the latter place the minister's wife got a new girl who was told she could go into theminister's pew when at church. The first Sunday she preceded other members of the family, except the minister, to church. When she arrived there the minister was sitting on the pulpit sofa, and the girl walked composedly up to the pulpit and to the amazement and amusement of the congre- gation sat down beside the minister. - Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria baa artese..-Clinton Ere. inquiry after inquiry comes from ens- v.-trers saying as h it abant fleet. gnats Viet hIt b'adf their marked !wives, n by dal.' i (0 exile! and tamp,re must go l ta• a ,: eget+a rda dao Lodge ii7, I. 0: 0, 1"., i.xd t, ., drill iaaar.'h to the James -et vhrrs,la d td Sta:shy :pawning next, when Rev Russell aid deliver a special sermon.

They gained an entrance by way of the cellar, visited Mr McLeod's bed room, and without having ransacked ,things, quietly stole Mr McLeod's watch and a email money box, containing considerable money and valuable papers. Next morning Mr McLeod's first intimation of the burglary was when he sought for his watch to learn the time. - • The "At Borne." The entertainment given in the basement of the Main st church on Friday evening last, under the Ladies' Aid Society of the church, surpassed .anything of the kind we have ever attended. The affair was a suc- cess but the attendance was not as large as character of the entertainment merited,. The large basement . of the church was handsomely arrarged withflowers, cur- tains, tables, pictures, etc , which gave it the appearance of a richly furnished draw- ing xoom. It was iudeed a eredit to the society. and reflects muck credit on the skill of those who did the managing, Tice program was splendid while Mr Wilson's address and the liberal supplies of fruit were treats fully appreciated. Those who should have been there missed a rare treat. Beware: "Look out for piano swindlers. They have been practicing in Midd:esex.

On Wednesday evening Dutton Ontario saw one of the most fashionable wedding festivities that has ever taken place in that viliage. We refer to the marriage of Mr Hugh S. Balkwill, of Chicago, former- ly of Exeter, to Miss Aggie, daughter of Mr N. McLean, of Dutton. Tho affair took place at the residence of the bride's' parents in the presence of a.hostof friends, Toronto, London, Hamilton, Windsor and other cities being represented. The bride was supported by Miss Brazet, of Toronto, while 21r Chas McDonell, of Exeter, as- sisted the groom The bride and brides- maid were each attired in cream satin, with the customary wreaths of orange b'ossoms. After the wedding ceremony had been performed, the band, which had arrived outside the building. 'struck up” an appropriate air, and led the party to the depot where the newly wedded couple were again serenaded, until the west bound train, amid showers of rice and old slippers, "pulled out" from the depot. Miss Mc- Lean is highly respected in Dutton, as the large array of beautiful end costly presents would testify, and the wish of her many friends is that she and her affable husband may long be spared to share what plea- sures there are in this world. Mr Balk - will's many friends in Exeter join Teen `.TIMES in extending the usual congratula- tions. Fire. On Saturday morning about two o'clock the citizens of Exeter were awakened from their slumbers by the fire alarm • being sounded in its usual unwelcome tones: The scene of the conflagration wa's discov- ered to be the store and '.residence of Mr. T. Dearing, on Elizabeth-st, and ere the alarm had been given, the fire had gained considerable headway. With the most possible despatch the fire companies were assembled at the fire hall and when they. arrived at the building—which was within fifteen minutes time of the first sound of the alarm—the flames bad reached the roof. Both engines were at once put in operation, and by 2.30 o'clock despite the buildings being of frame structure and ad- jacent to other frame buildings, the fumes were staid and the fire put entirely out, leaving half of the building standing, and the residence and stable untouched. The night was wet which prevented other premises being endangered by flying em- bers. The work performed on this occasion by the firemen is most commendable • they worked hard and without a hitch, continually throwing two strong streams of water on the building. Mr Dearing's loss will be about $700, partially coyered by insurance. Mr D. was absent from home and Mrs Dearing was alone in the house, and might have perished in the RICHARD PICK,4KD & SON Have Fust Opened up IaARGE CONSIGNIYIENTS O Worsteds, Tweeds, Ties and Collars, Dress.

David: Turnbull was born is Govan on the banks of the Clyde, near Glasgow, on June 4, 1815, When fourteen years of age he carne with his parents to Canada, settling in the township of Lanark, where he rammed helping to hew out a home in the force , until the fall. ot 1837 when haremoved to Levant, and proceeded forthwith to clear a farm for himself. Isabella Aitken, who has been the partner of his joys and sorrows for these fifty years, was born is Glasgow, on Deo 14th, 1820. When eleven years of age, she accent parried her parents to T.,anark township, snaking it her home until the day of their marriage, April end 1841. They resided in Levant until 3853 when they emne to the township of Usbarne, which was at the time, in,great part, untouched by the woodmans axe. .fere they labored dili- gently doing their part in converting it into the well cultivated garden which it has now become. In 1884 they left the farm and removed to Exeter,to rest a little while in the evening of life, after their hard day's work. Wherever their lot in life has been cast they have been highly prized for their industry, honesty, kindness and high moral worth. God has rewarded their labors with a competency of this worlds goods, but above all He has been their leader and friend during these many years, strengthening them for duty, coun- selling them in days of perplexityand com- forting them in sorrow, far sorrow has time and again been theirs.. Five times they have stood by the open graves of members of their family, until of a family of twelve only seven remain on earth. They have twenty seven grand children. May this worthy couple be spared to each other and to their family and friends for many years to coma, may the evening of life be the brightest and happiest partof the day, and when at last the sun is setting may it shed a glorious hue over all the clouds that have hung in their sky, and may the sweet fragrance of a good life be breathed by all around, Poplar Hill.
