The registration report of births, mar- Tiagee and deaths for I.90, has just been iasuerl,and the following fats are gathered from its pages: --The total deaths in Heron -daring that year was 620, being 7.3 per cent of the population, being less than in any other county in the province. The total number of births in Huron in the same year was 1453, 729 being male child- ren end 724 female, and 4 pair of twins Mere children were born in October than any other month during the year. There were 802 persons married in Huron that year, 277 being Presbyterians, 273 Metho• .lists, 136 Episcopalians, with decreasing numbers of other denominations; 57 of these marriages took place in December, 47 in January, and only ten in the month of August. The total deaths in Huron for the year were 620 ; 306 being males and 314 females. Arbor Day Fe iday last was Arbor Day throughout the province. In Exeter there was very little done in the way to beautifying ; in -the rural districts, however, the day was wetter observed. There are few who know the real history of Arbor Day. This day was first observed in Nebraska in the spring of 1872, and the ides- was first :brought up at a meeting of the Nebraska Board of Agriculture in connection with -the State Legislature by 'Hon J, Sterling Morton, of Nebraska City, who was the state representative of Otoe county at a meeting of the State Legislature held in Lincoln the year before -1871. Since then the idea has been adopted by all the States an the Union, has been copied in Canada, an seven in some parts of Europe, the planting of trees receives much attention. The originator of the. idea, Mr , Morton, 3.ivee amid his much loved shrubs, plants, and flowers at 'Arbor Lodge,' his splendid country home in Otoe county, Nebraska, and yearly his friends who recognize his -work regatrding the preservation of the forests, annually hold an .Arbor Day cele.. :bration in his honor. His life is a happy one, having around him in his beautiful Thome many evidences of his handiwork in the planting and growing of trees, shrubs, and flowers and they all, the artistic group. ung of great avenues of maples, the myriad ranges of 'many hued flowers, the great feeds of rare shrubs and plants, give him pleasure, the like of which nothing else can afford. The Presbytery ofo x will meet in Caren Presbyterian 'church next, Tuesday, et 10.30 a.m. The sessions are open to the nnblic.

Wm Drew, the other day, received from Los Angeles a number of oranges taken from trees on the orange grove of his de ceased son, Alfred. They are a splendid sample.

Mr Cunningham intends moving onto a farm and following that occupation. Exeter as we bare repeatedly said is all right and we doubt if a place of its size in Ontario has fewer vacant houses. The census enumerators and searchers say they are mighty scarce. Ladies! before purchasing swiss and lawn skirtings and embroideries just step in and see those shown by J. P. Clarke. You will find it to your advantage ; more new patterns coming. Never judge a dean by his appearance. A shabby coat may contain an editor,while the man wearing ahigh-toned plug hat and supporting a dude cane may be one of his delinquent subscribers. T. Fitton last week purchased of John Welsh his property of some ten acres situ- ated at the lower end of the village. Mr. Fitton will erect a handsome residence thereon at an early date. Saturday last was the opening day for the cash tnarket, for this season. The at- tendance was good, which demonstrates the fact that the market will this year be a greater success than ever. The representative of the Ball Electric Light Company was in town last week making a final attempt to introduce the Co's system into Exeter. We have not learned the result of his visit,. W. H. Harvey, of Exeter, who has been attending the Ontario Ag'1 College for some time, passed the Easter examinations of that college quite creditably, ranking well in all subjects. Accept our congratula- tions. A circular was read in the Anglican church Sunday announcing that special collections would be taken throughout the ecclesiastical province next Sunday in aid of the domestic missions—Algoma and the Northwest. The entertainment given by Prof. Scott on Monday evg. was largely attended. The professor sang several selections in his best style, which were highly appreciated by the audience, judging from the many plaudits given. - Only one hotel in the township of Us - borne has been granted a license, while in the township of Stephen there are nine. Is it because the Stephenites drink niore t an their neighbors across the line that this state of things exists ?.

Bewden's horse ran away from him on William streee. He was returning home from plowing and the rattle of the implements in ;the wagon no doubt frightened the beast. The wagon was considerably wrecked, but no further injury resulted. One day last week Mr. Robert Sweet's horse, which was tied in front of P. Frayne's harness shop, taking fright at the watering cart, ran away, After "doing" the town it finally reached Mr. Sweet's farm on the Lake road, with a badly Iv reeked buggy: . The Ontario Express Co: did not com- mence operations on May 1st. The G. T. R. refused the Co. running privileges over. that road. The Express Co claim they can compel the railway Co. to accede, and until this question is settled the Ontario Express Co. will not eperate. The Superintendent of this Division of the Grand Trunk Railway has. issued a circular requesting agents to take very determined action against allowing boys about the cars, yards, or promises, .and to warn the parents that legal proceedings will be taken against their children. Prof. rMounteer, the elocutionist, who, with his class, is to rtive an entertainment on Friday evening, gave a similar enter- tainment in Clinton last week. The papers of that town described the entertainment as the best ever given in Clinton. The proceeds amounted to 650, which were distributed among the poor of the town. Mrs and Mrs. Thomas Seldom, Ingersoll, Ont., accompanied by Mr and Mrs Lander of Toronto, left Brandon last night on their way to the Pacific ; they go thrcugh Cali- fornia and Mexico making a tour of the principal places in the States and they ex" pest to return to their homes about June lat.—Brandon (Man) Sun. •Novelties in Dress Trimmings RICKARD 1- P--IOIE .

A large meteor or twettlite was seen to tail ehm-ly acmes the shy from east to west, eleparedtly but :a elite t .listanee from the earth. The *net(>ar was a pale green color, 3111124/v90W the f[tvt that the S(trl w;is shining brightly, the l.ailli,tuey of the staaia,e object was quite seeder -aide. Hail it appeared at aught, no doubt the West would have been eonsi lerebly more surprising. The Ministerial Association of South Huron met in the Methodist church lien. sill, on Monday ,Vay 4th, The chief business was the reading and eriticism ofa piper read by the Rev A. L Resseil, on the "higher Criticism," a teem which em- brae+ea the historical teats, which many eminent seholers are at the present day, placing the bible under The meeting ad- journe,d to me in Main at church Exeter, on elnue 1st, when Rev J. Wilson is to read a sermon, and Res' J. Cook, a paper on the emotional in religion. "Turn that weep ing paper the other side out," said a lady in a dry geode store the other afternoon as the clerk was put- ting up her purchase in a printed wrapping paper. " I don't want to be a walking advertisement to your store. I read the Times, as all iutelligont people ought to do, and I think in it is the plasm to advertise your business." Instead of ask- ing your customers to carry your sign around with each purchase of goods go and tell the people through the papers what you have to sell and how you sell it. The water supply at the river, owing to the steady operations of the mills,is almost certain to become exhausted this summer. To obviate, therefore, the probilility of a short age for streetwatering purposes, the feasibilityof sinking s g a well at the town hall and erecting thereon a wifkimill, is being considered by these in authority. The scheme appears to be the proper pro- cedure as the supply of .water would not only be made more easily procured, but the cost of watering the streets could be lessened one half. - Instead of as now pay- ing 53 00 per day, the same streetwatering could be done under the proposed system for 01.50. According to the new school hill just passed the Ontario assembly the public school teaching shell consist of two teams ; in townships the first shall beein on the third Monday in August and end on the 22nd day of December ; the second term shall begin ou 3rd day of January and end on the 30th day of June.
