The people of Listowej, will vote on the question of appropriating $5,000 for manufacturing purposes, as follows: -$2,500 to the Morris, Field, Rogers Company; $2,000 to Gillies & Morris, ana $500 to be applied at the discretion of the Council. Almost every small boy, some large ones, are seen wending their way to school these days with a lacrosse bat on their shoulders.

Rev. W.

No place like the Big Bankrupt Store for Carpets, Blinds, Curtains and wall paper. A new shipment of wallpapers just opened On arising from their beds, Saturday morning last. people in this vicinity were surprised to see from, 2 to 8 inch es of snow on the ground. The fellow who "expected it" was of course on hand. Probably he can tell whether a sleigh ride will be in order before the onions are ripe. A Brantford man recently saw • an advertisement in a 'U advertisement pap er offering to send a fine engraving, depicting, the landing of Columbus, for $1.

Evans and Shier ai•e rushing the work on the foundation of the Bobier Pro duce Co 's refrigerator and packing house, and in a very short time we ex- pect to see this handsome addition to that portion of the town completed, The kind of work required on farms at this season of the year can be done by any ordinarily internment person: Whoever refuses to rake advantage of the opportunity; to thus secure employ ment should immediately be denied further aid. Any assistance therea Fter rendered them would be only depriv- ing epriving to that extent the really needy. The importance of such an end.ustr•y as Still handle factory, syhich is located at St. Thomas, is shown by the fact that this year the manager paid out $20, 000 for logs alone. He purchased a million and a half feet, mostly of ash and hickory. Of this '250,000 feet were bought at Dutton, but the largest pro- portion in the vicinity of St, Thomas. The contractor, Mr. James Sweet, commenced work with a large force of men on the foundation of Rollins and Williams' new grist mill. The exca vation is not quite completed, but will be by the time the masons reach the south-west corner. If the fine weather continues, a very short time will see the walls of this splendid building cov- ered. The nightly bon -fires, and odors am- ing rtsing from burning refruse heaps are ire dieations that there is a general "clean going on in and abut the neighbor hood. This is as it should be. "a stitch in time saves nine," as the old adatre says, and our citizens are anxious that no care is uegleetod to ward of the threatened epidemic. When cholera or other infectious diseases once get hold of the seaport towns, continual sanitary precautions is the best pre ventive for keeping it out of inland towns and cities, The site for the new creamery is be ing p tit in shape for operations.

Even if the work was a "bill of expense" as several were pleased to remark, wo think it was a good act While neightoring towns were weltering in dust during the re- cent "drying up" spell, no clouds of dust annoyed us, and all owing, to the clean up. One third of the fools of the country think they can beat the lawyer in ex pounding the law, one half think they can beat the doctor healing the sick, two-thirds of thein think they can beat the minister preaching the gospel, and all of them know they can beat the ed- itor io conducting his busiuess.

As people opened their doors last Saturday morning, a mantle of the "beautiful," covering the earth to the depth of from 3 to 6 inches, was seen, and it is generally known that such a fall is appropriately called "the poor farmer's manure" The snow in its passage through the air' secures its manurial value from the amount of carbonic acid gas in the air, Owing to the comparatively warm weather at this time of the year, the large amount of ammonia absorbed by the large por ons flakes in their descent, become lib erated, thereby giving it much more. fertilizing, properties than heavy falls of snow in the cold season of mid wint er. While it would not do to depend exclusiyely on this as a fertilizer, there is much more ammonia in the atmos ohere in summer time and the warm summer's rain brings much more to earth in its descent, than does a heavy snow fail in April, or such a one as we, had last Saturday morning. On Friday last the burial service of the Methodist church was „ performed over the remains of Mrs. Wm. Bayley at the Exeter Cemetery.

Davis, on Gidley st, where Frede- rick the youngest son was born, and also where Mr. Bayley and two child ren -Henrietta and Albert died. Dur ing her 20 years residence in Exeter Mrs, Bayley was one of the most re- spected and christian members of the James St. Methodist church, and was beloved by all who knew her and the love that existed between herself and surviving sons • was most sacred. Her demise took place at the residence .of her son, Alfred, on Riverview' Ave Lcndon, Ont,,' last Wednesday at the age of 50 years., '1'he remains were brought to Exeter last Friday and previous to interment were taken to the James St. Methodist Church, where they were viewed by a large number of sorrowing friends and relatives, Her four survivin sons are all residents of London.

Dinner in honour of St. George's Day, under the auspices of the Sons of England Benoveleut Society, will be held in the Town Hall, Exeter, on Monday, April 24th, commencing at 8 pm. for which elaborate preparations are being made. ' The following places have Mechanics Institutes: -Blyth, Brussels, Clinton, Ethel, Exeter, Goderich, Gerrie, Hen- sel!, Seaforth, St. Helens, Wingham Wroxeter, and the receipts of each were: -Blyth, $128; Brussels, ` $107; Clinton, $439; Ethel, $92; Exeter, $309: Goderich, $554; Gerrie $163; Hensall, $232; Seaforth, $870; St. Helens, $159;, Wingham, $426; Wroxeter $247. Now there is considerable water in most all drains, is it not in order to call the attention of the Board of Health to the fact that it is a good season to 'ex- amine the outlets of these drains and see that water and refuse is flowing freely. Incase any drain is stopped up the refuse will cause an unhealthy• stench to arise in cellars or some weak part in the drains, leaving an uusani, tary condition of thing, Asa many a g a, closets in town will require to be cleaned out, it would be well if the town itself could make some arrangements for having, the work done: , Hitherto it has been ex- ceedingly difficult to get it accomplish- ed. Why not hire a couple of teams and get mein to do the work under au- thority of the Inspector, who could fix a price for the same. he to be paid ex- tra for these services. Then people could leave word with hint under the assurance that it _ would be properly done.
