There was a big rush to the Exeter
Woollen Mills lent week for woollen goods.
This is the best place to get your Woollens
`cheap and good. They are made there ont
of the best selected stock of wool grown,
and you are always sure of getting a reli-
able article; try them.
We would again direct attention to the
dangerous practice of boys throwing snow
balls on the streets, and especially at pas-
sing teams. The constable has the author-
ity to arrest every snow ball thrower and
have him punished, and we would like to
see him exercise that authority.
There is an agitation on foot to have the
market .roved from its present location to
the town hall property, and largely -signed
petitions for and against the scheme were
presented to the Council last evg. We
have not learned the disposition of the
Conncil on the matter:
Corporation laborers were busy for two
days of the past week opening the drain
on the east side of Main-st., which had be-
come blocked by the recent flood, caused
by debris from the surface. For several
days many cellars were filled in conse-
quence.
The promoters of temperance in Huron
are arranging to circulate petitions in
every municipality throughout the county,
the object being to have the Local Option
by-law voted on same time as the munici-
pal elections take place. We understand
that the petition for Exeter is now going
the rounds,
A very simple way to make a storm door
is to tack a strip of old oil cloth over the
netting frame of the summer screen door.
Oil cloth can be bought at 30 cents a yard,
which will answer the 'purpose admirably.
Of course it is not meat that this should
be put on front entrance doors, but on rear
or side doors exposed to the north and
west. It will keep out much cold and
damp.
We learn from the Brandon (Man.) Sun,
that Miss Jennie Colquhoun, daughter of
Mr. Alex. Colquhoun, of Douglas, Man.,
formerly of Exeter, was on the evg. of the
19th ult. presented with a handsome gold
watch accompanied by an, address, by the
congregation of the Methodist church, in
appreciation of her services as organist of
the church during the past three years.
The address was read by Miss Greenwood
and the presentation made by Mrs. Green-
wood. The, watch bears the following in-
scription :-" Miss Jennie Colquhoun, in
appreciation of her services as organist of

Accident.
On Monday cog. Mr. Barry Jones, of
the"tint con. of l sborne, met with a serious
aecideut, which will lay laim up for some
time, With helpers he was engaged pulling
his separator into his barn, Horses were
attached to the rear of the separator and
were drawing it I"ackwards up a steep em-
bankment, while the tongue was being
guided by Mr. Jones and two other men.
\i,'llen near the barn door the hooses stop-
ped and the bolt of the eleviee fell out;
..the large separator began to ran back,and
in its rapid descent one of the front wheels
struck a stone which, suddenly diverting its
course. caused the tongue to strike Mr. J.
He fell to the erouud and the wheel passing
over his body, broke four ribs and the
spinal process of his neck. ale now lies in
a eriticel condition.
The lleetaanies, Institute.
A meeting al the Directors of the Me -
ebonies' Institute wits hell en Tuesday
evg. There was a fain board present, with
;lir. John McCallum, vice -Tres„ in the
chair. Rev. Mr Robinson, t'resideut, re-
moved, not having sent in his resignation,
Mr. John McCallum was advanced to the
Presidentship, Mr. John Taylor being
unanimously elected vice-president. The
question of a night school, as mentioned its
last week's Tisn s, was discussed. There
has each year been an endeavor made to
have a night -school organised, but es a
sufficient number, to command the govern-
ment grant, could not be induced to join,
the matter was not taken into considera-
tion this year. However, if those desirous
of such a class will muster together 30
pupils the Directors of the Institute will
be only too pleased to furnish a teacher.
Sad News.
On Thursday, our esteemed townsman.
Mr. David Miller, received the sad intelli-
gence by telegram of his son David's
drowning in Chemo, New Mexico; and
yesterday received another that the body
had been shipped on Dec. let, for Exeter.
There is no account of the drowning, and
Mr. Miller hap not the slightest idea how
it happened. Tho body will reach Exeter
on Saturday, it is expected, and will be
buried as soon thereafter as possible, in
the Exeter cemetery, under the rites of the
I. 0. 0. F. The young man was working
as a mechanic, and had succeeded in build-
ing np a very large business, It is only a
,year since Mr. Miller buried his daughter
Mrs. J. Iselland, and with this second
death blow Mr. Miller and family arc hav-
their share of trouble. They have the
sympathy of the community in their severe
bereavement. Deceasect was 27 years of
ago and, was well known in this vicinity.
Church Notes.
On Sunday next sacrament will be dis-
pensed in the Presbyterian church. The
preparatory service on the preceding Fri-
day will be conducted by Rev. Mr. Simp-
son, of Brucefield.—The protracted meet-
ings in connection with the Main-st. Meth.
church, which have been held during the
past few weeks, have been attended with
good resuirs,-Rev. Mr. Fatt,the new ineum
bent of the parish of the Church of Eng-
land in this place, was introduced to his
parishioners on Sunday last, and both
morning and evening preached to very much
increased congregations. The rev. gentle-
man is a nice speaker, forcible, logical
and impressive, and if last Sunday's dis-
courses are a sample of what the sermons
throughout will be, our Church of England
friends are to be complimented on eecuring
such an able successor to Rev. Mr. Robin-
son.—The regular prayer -meetings in con-
nection with the James-st. Meth. Church
will be dispensed with this week in order
that all may attend the protracted meet-
ings now being held in the Main-st Church.
Personale.
Mr. C. Dorward returned on k'riday last
from Scotland, via the "Majestic." He
made the trip to Scotland and return and
did considerable business, in exactly three
weeks. This is considered very quick
work. Mr. D. reports rough weather, but
otherwise a pleasant trip.—Mr. William
