On Sunday this section was favored with a warm rain, and now the grass is quite green. If the present weather continues vegetation this year will be as far advanced as four weeks later of any previous year. The churches in town were very beauti- fully decorated with flowers for Easter services. The ladies in whose trust the the decorating was Left, deserve credit for their taste and thoroughness of the display. LOCAL HAPPENINGS. Mara lay being Easter Monday the banks were closed.

The annual meeting of the Liberal -Con- servative .Association of North Middlesex will be held at the town hall, Ailsa Craig, on Tuesday, the 15th inst. In addition to routine business a candidate will be nomin- ated to contest the riding at the coming election. On Tuesday and Wednesday svgs. public aneetings were held in the town hall to discuss the butter and egg market question. There was a very large attendance on both occasions and speakers both for and against. were numerous. While all were in favor of cash being paid for produce, many were opposed to having a market established by ylaw. They contended that one market is sufficient, and would not favor a second, as it.would ultimately re, .It in a discord between the two. The electors have been well frifermed and for the result of their voting all will anxiously look. The regular Easter vestry meeting of the Trivitt Memorial ehureh held on Monday, was adjourned to Wednesday 23rd, to re- ceive the audited accounts of the church Wardens.

Being in tho country the other day we happened to bear a man ask his neighbor for the loan of Tan Tidos. It is said that a man who is so stingy as to botrow a newspaper when he is able to buy. will talk through his nose to save his teeth. A seasonable rule.—To find out No. of rolls required to paper a room, add the sum of the four sides together, multiply by the height and divide by 32, deduct roll for each door and for each window. Rev. W. H, Gane of Lyons, narrowly escaped death the ather day by being thrown from his road cart under the horse's feet. The accident was caused by the carelessness of a youth on horseback, whose horse was not clear of the road. Mr. Gane was not seriously hurt. A stranger in town on Sunday remarked that it was a bad sign to see so many young ladies walking along tha street with arms linked; that it was not only a sign of laziness, but also indicated that the young men of the yillago were derelict of their duty in allowing the young ladies to form such a habit. Workmen have commenced excavating for the cellar of the new buildings to be erected at the market by Mr. John P Ross We were shown the plans of the buildings the other day and would say, that when erected, will be among the finest structures in town. The store will have a plate glass front and contain all the modern im- provements. A subscriber, who lives in Northern' Dakota, in writing the TIMES this week, among other things, said that "Canada is getting there fast, and don't forget it." What he really meant we cannot say, but from the drift of the correspondence we should judge, he wished us to understand that Canada was fast becoming a great country. Dakotans no doubt realize this fact. The Murray farm of 50 acres, situated on the London Road, Hay township, about a mile north of Exeter, was sold by auction on .Friday last to Messrs, Thomas and Geo. Harton, for $2,000. There are no bhiildings on the premises. and no fences other than those enclosing, and it is to be inferred that the property sold fairly well, The situations is splendid however. Good Friday was observed in Exeter in a very quiet manner. The roads were muddy and few people 'Jared to move about. There was no sport in the shoot- ing line as the season had not been suffici- ently far advanced, Good Friday being two weeks earlier than it occurred last year. Some of the more sportive repaired to the woods and spent the day sugar - making. Services were held in the church of England and Presbyterian churches. A very pleasant event occurred at the Ridout . Crowther,d ressdence of Joseph 394 street, London, on Wednesday evening of last week, beingthe marriage of Mr. John Shute of Usborife, to Miss Jenny Speare of Hibbert: The ceremony" was performed by Rev. W . 11. Gane of - Lyons, an old friend of the contracting parties. The bride and groom are very highly esteemed and base hosts of friends who will wish them every happiness in their married life Exeter Municipal Council. The Council met as per adjournment.

Nuvigatiou on the Exeter river has been open for sonic time, the first to make a trip being fireboat "Mayflower," with passengers bent en a picnic expedi• Om. The boat was well filled with young sports, the objective point being a small Island. The trip up the river was a pleasant one, but when about to pull for the shore the boat upset and tossed all ab('ard into the deep and cold water. They scrambled out; and not to bo outdone, lit a bon fare, stripped them- selves and dried their clothing. They remained on the island for a time catch; ing fish and boiling them in a tin pail. They finally started for the return journey and when about half way the boat again capsized, wetting the youths thoroughly. They reached Exeter some- what the worse of wear. We See the Point. The Mitchell advocate referring to Mitchell says : "There is a difference of about $1,000 between the auditors' and treasurer's statements." The auditors claim that their report is correct. This is quite probable, as the treasurer's statement concluded with the 15th of December, while the auditors' embraces also the dates from the 15th to the 31st December."—Exotor Teems. Tho Mit- chell Advocate makes a final answer to the above, in the following : "Our con- temporary is still astray. The statement up to the 15th of December was prepar- ed as the law requires, but a squaring up of the accounts to the end of the same month is compulsory, and it was in this that a difference of $1,000 between the auditors', and treasurer's figures were shown." We infer then that the vouchers and the treasurer's books did not tally. The Advocate was slow in explaining the matter. Easter and Its Traditions. April was called Oster month—the month of the Ost-end wind (wind from the east.) Easter is therefore the April feast which lasted eight days. Our Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the 21st of March. It may fall as early as the 22nd of March or as late as the 25th of April. It was formerly a common belief that the sun danced on Easter Day. Easter • or pascha eggs are symbolical of creation or the re-creation of spring. The practice of presenting eggs to our friends of Easter is Magian or Persian, and bears allusion to the mundane egg, for which Ormuzed and Ahriman were to contend till the consummation of all things. It prevailed also among the Jews, Egyptians and Hindoos• Christ- ians adopted the custom to symbolise the resurrection, and they color the eggs red in allusion to the blood of their, redemption. There is a tradition, also, that the world was created atEaster-tide. school Statistics. The following particulars aro taken from the report of the Minister of Edu- cation for 1889 :—School population in Huron between the ages of 5 and 21, 19195 ; Grey and Simeoe are the only counties that return a higher number than this in the province. The total number of all ages attending school was 15,733, being over 8000 boys and 7000 girls. In Huron nearly 7000 of the pupils are in the 3rd and 4th Readers. 132 male and 82 female teachers find employment in this county, the average male salary being $408, and the average female $270. The total amount raised for public school purposes in the county was $111,774, and the average cost per pupil was $6.33. It will be seen that Huron is third highest in the'number of school children within its ;borders, fifth in the number of teachers employed, yet there are 39 other counties where the average costper pupil is higher than it is here. There are separate schools in Huron, with a total attendance of 246 pupils, and the total amount raised for these schools was $2105: St Marys girls chew gum while out walking.
