Morning Star of the 22nd, contained the following :— "Last evening Miss Martha Carley and A. B. Carr were united in marriage at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Waterman, 701 Cunningham-st. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Henry Lea, of Winnebago street church at 9 o'clock, The bride was attired in a pretty cream gown, and the bridesmaid, Miss May Evans, In a dress of similar description. W. Stevens officiated as the groom's best ratan. The young peo plea were recipients of many handsome presents, for the groom has made many friends during his stay in the city." Mr. Carr was formerly a resident of Hamilton, and his bride is a sister of :Messrs. Walter and Edwin Carley, of this place, and a former resident of Exeter. TowxsuiP or STEPHEN V. TOWNSHIP or McGntIvn.ar•—Moss, Q C., and M. Wison, Q. C., for the plaintiffs, appealed from the judgment of Rose, J , who tried the action at Woodstock, dismissing it with costs. The action was brought by the plaintiffs, a municipal corporation, against the defendants, an adjoining mun- icipal corporation, to compel them to pay, or to pass a by-law to raise the sum eharg- ei against them by the report of an engin. eer for the plaintiffs as their portion of the costs of drainage works undertaken by he plaintiffs under the various provis ions of the Municipal Act. The defendants denied the sufficiency of the report or that it was binding upon them. . The work in question was the opening by a cut across the sand bar into Lake Huron of the River Aux Sables at a bend, and dredging such river from the bend to a point some .200 or 300 chains distant, up the stream to the junction with the Waywath Creek 'within the Township of Stephen. The river forms the boundary between Boson• Suet on the north and Stephen and Mc. illiyray on the 4outh, the latter township :lying to the west of Stephen Dose, J., held that the work was not one within the jurisdiction of a township but of a county, if provided for by the act at all, W. Nes- bitt and A. W . Aytoun Finlay, for the defendants, contra. Decision has been reserved. Richard Pickard & Son are clearing out a big lot of remnants of all kinds at half price ; call and acture bargains. Mr Justice Ferguson returned a de. olden which is of some interest to county councils. It was upon the question of how the width of a stream was to be determined, and His Lordship ruled that this must be done by ;reasuring the actual width of the channel that the stream had out for itself from bank to bank, and not the width of. the water at any particular stage. This decision will relieve many townships of the cost of maintaining bridges which will have to be maintained by the county councils., Mrs Raphael Stevenson, of Kinburn, died In gfnbarn last week at the age of 77 years. Mrs Stevenson's maiden, name was Mary .Noddy. She was a native of Yorkshire, England, and came to Canada in 1852 and with her husband settled on the farm ad- vitiing Kinburn, on which she continued a reside until her death. She was a severe ufferer from rheumatism, and has been a elpless invalid for seven or eight years. he :eaves behind her aged partner in life nd a family of three daughters and one on all ofwhom are grown up.

Mr Sam'l Sperling, of St Marys, shipped from Exeter on Saturday 142 head of ex port cattle. Everybody reads the Tiles. An adver- tisement properly displayed in its columns is sure to bring you trade. For the best values in Parasols, Hosiery and Gloves, go to Richard Pickard & Son's. They import them themselves. Several showers of rain on Fliday and Saturday revived vegeta•ion and now crops generally look pramioing. The Wed birthday of Queen Victoria was celebrated on Monday. In Exeter there was no celebration of any kind The wool season will open shortly Great preparations are being made in Exete: for the purchase of large quantities, at high prices. A couple of the north end dogs went mad last week and had to be shot. They were owned by C, Dorward and John Sii eitrer.

See advt. in another column, The papers of Parkhill are one 10 saying that the Exeter Orchestra is without cdonbt the hest musical organization that has visited Parkhill for some time. Mr Wm.1fawkshaw, of the "Thompson acme," Loudon, has sold his business in that city and will remove to Scatorth. where he will conduct the "Commercial," Already the small boy can be seen with leis dangerous weapon, (catapult,) breaking windni%s and killing pretty song birds, \4e think a stop should be put to this hind of sport.

He was brought to Exeter last eveninand will be buried today at 2 o'clock., aged 81 years. Envelopes. note beads, letter heads and bill heads printed at the TIMES office cost you about the sante as you pay for station- ery in the stores, and look more business like, besides being an advertisement. Exeter builders are doing a large amount of work this year, Dyer & Howard are interested in upwards of 30 contracts, 'Ross & Taylor a great many, while the minor concerns are holding their own Mr W. D. Tighe has been transferred from the mail service between London and the Suspension Bridge to the vacancy on the L. II. & B., caused by the death of W. B. Mathews, and began his duties the other day. The most wide-awake merchants are thoseltvheinform the public through the best newspaper mediums what geode they have to sell. A well written advertisement in the TIMES will bring results that twenty times the same number of circulars would fail to accomplish. Shavings soaked with coal oil were fouud strewn through the vacated house of Dr Browning's on IIuron-et Had the parties finding the shavings kept quiet, and set watch, no doubt the would-be perpetrator could have been caught and made suffer the consequences The banks in St. Thomas, Ont., have been in the habit of receiving American silver at par and shipping it to the other side. Recently the American banks re- fused to take their own money at par and now the St. Thomas banks will take it from their customers no longer. The country is being flooded with new orders of this and that, which promise members a great deal of money for a very little The man who refuses to join these "orders" will have more money in a year or two than the man who takes the bait. Look at these things from a business stand point before you plunge. At the last meeting of Court Harmony No 67, C. 0. F., Exeter, the following officers were installed for the current term. —Fred Witwer, P. C R. ; Alex Davie, W. C. R. ; H. Spackman, V. C. K. ; Jno Diener), F. S. ; D. A. Ross, R. S. ; John Taylor Treasurer ; J. Creech, Chaplain ; Geo Hill, S. W. ; Andrew Hicks, J W. , Chris Luker,,S B ; C. Perkins, J. B. The competition in the egg and butter trade in Exeter is great. We have three large dealers each of whom is anxious to get all the eggs and butter, and consequent- ly the prices ranee high; in fact in many cases higher than are realized by these commission men when the stuff is resold. The farmers however appreciate the high prices and do their marketing here. Attention should be paid to the black knot on plum and cherry trees. At this season all diseased trees should be destroy- ed in order that those not already affedted may be saved. Any owner or occupant who allows any black knot to remain on any plum or cherry tree, shall be liable to a fine of not less than $5 or more than $20. When you hear a farmer say that he prefers poor living and poverty in prefer- ence to success through soiling, dairy records, an accurate account of income and expenses or careful management generally, he is usually an advocate of government loans at two per cent. as a remedy for de- pressed agriculture. Not many avow such a preference, perhaps, but there are plenty. who get excited at any euggeetion for im- provements of this Bort. The poet office officials have received instructions from Ottawa to despatch mails for England via Quebec. This service was discontinued recently owing to expiration of the Dominion . mail contract with the Canadian lines. The dates on which mails will be despatched fiom Quebec are per Parisian.

The opening chapter of our new story, "A Burmese Oenone" appears in this issue It is a highly interesting story and all should read it. If blossoms are any indication ot fruit there should be a fair yield year. Yet they say that on some apole trees there is no indication whatever of a fruit bud. J. A. Stewart, has this week put in the cash railway system, his business and premises having increased to such propor- tions that it was almost impossible to continue in the old way. While fixing the vulcanizer in his dental rooms on Thursday last, Dr Ingram receiv- ed severe injuries to his face and head by the bursting of the apparatus. He has been confined to his room since the acci- dentr esteemed friend, G. A. K. McLeod, was yesterday married to bliss Esther Chesney, daughter of the late Henry Chea- ney,of Tuckersmith Mr McLeod brought his bride to Exeter, here to settle in peace and happiness among his many friends. . The Exeter lodge of the Sons of England attended the Trivitt Memorial church on Sunday afternoon, where a special sermon was preached by Rev S. F. Robinson, rector. The congregation was unusually large and the sermon an appropriate and prantical one. A blue rock shooting match Inc the gold medal of the Exeter Gun Club, between A J Snell and I. Handford, on 25th inst., was won by the former, he breaking 10 of 15 rocks, the latter 9. The rocks were thrown from uuknown traps, and the score is considered a good one. "lfy friends," remarked the minister, "the collection today will he devoted to my travelling expenses. for I am going away for my health—the more I receive the longer I can stay"—and, strange to say, the largest collection ever made was taken up. This did not happen in Exeter. Richard Eacrett, athlete, and Will Folland, sprinter, Exeter, visited Mitchell on May 25th, and did very creditable work, Eacrett doing the jumping and vaulting, and Folland the running- They brought home considerable of the prize money. There was no horse racing in St Marys on Monday, some of the horsemen with- drawing. "Tom Burke" was down from Hensall, and his owner with others' are greatly disappointed. This is not the first time that the St Marys people have disap- pointed a crowd on the Queen's birthday. The base ball match between the "Grand Trunk'' team of London and the St Marys team,: resulted in a victory' for the former;. scot e, 23 2. • People who had business at any of the meetings of the County Council, generally found the members lolling around in care- less and undignified attitudes, while;,the air was foul with clouds of tobacco puffed from many pipes. A committee has lately been draftinga set of rules for the govern- ment of the ouncil, and one of, these pro- vides that no member shall smoke in the chamber, a rule that will be hard for some members to observe, but one than is, nevertheless, a desirable and proper one. 4 BARGAINS IN DRESS C000S We have just opened up a large consignment of Dress Goods, which we bought at a big sacrifice for spot cash, and we intend giving our Gusto tiers the benefit of low prices.
