Deaths. Some papers, however, have;
changed the signs to the Cradle, the

made another change and now the.

turn to Faith Hope and Charity -faith

marriage will prove a happy one, and
charity for the idiosyncracies of the de-

In the Local House last week the
private bills committee met and passed
five bills. The only western measure
indoraed was that granted Exeter vill-
age power to borrow $10.000 to extin
guish the bonus voted in 1878 for the
London, Huron and Bruce Railway.
This is rendered necessary by the fail-
ure of the village to provide a sinking'
fund to wipeout its bonds. An amend
ment was made to the bill providing
that the debt be paid off on the terrain
able annuity plan within the next 20
years.

Early Closing,
St Marys Jouraral.—Several of the
leading establishments in town close
at 6.80 p. m. This is a move in the
right direction and is a boom to assist-
ants and other employes, who now have
more time for recreation. The drug-
gists, hairdressers and others should
follow suit. The plan adopted in other
progressive towns of a weekly half
holiday during the summer should be
next in order in the stone town.
Am interesting Arbitration..
The action of Miss Lizzie Willis, of
this village, against Messrs Da yid Mill
and Thomas Willis, Executors of the
estate of James Willis, late of the• City
Chicago, and; who recently died here,
has excited much comment and public
interest. Miss Willisclaimedto recov
er from the estate the sum of $742.00
for her service, which sum the executors
refused to pay, on tho ground of no lia-
bility. The matter was referred to ar-
bitrament of Judge Toms, of Goderich,
Henry Eilber, of Crediton and Dr. John
Hyndtnan, of Exeter, and was tried on
Friday and Saturday of last week.
Many witnesses were examined, among
them some medical gentlemen, of Exet,
er and professional nurses from Lon-
don Hospital. After 'a long and care-
ful investigation and consideration the
arbitrators found in favor of Miss W.
for $600 and directed the executors to
to pay all costs. L. H. Dickson ap-
peared for Miss Willis, B. V. Elliott for
the Executors.
Destructive wind storm.
The most destructive wind storm
known to this section of the country
and resembling, a baby cyclone broke.
over Exeter on Wednesday night and.
Thursday morning, of last week, des
troying much property and jeopardiz
ing life ' n many instances. Buildings
rock -d, fences were flattened to the
ground; trees uprooted, windows blown
in, tc legraph and telephone wires de-
inolished and many buildings un
roofed. The congregation of the Pres-
byterian church has probably sustained
the heaviest loss, the entire roof having
1 -en lifted from its resting place . and
carried several rods, the gable end
b'own in, causing damage to the
amount of fully $2000. A portion of
the roof of Hawkshaw's hotel stable
was blown off; also that of R. Davis'
slaughter house; the school house about
a mile west of Exeter was unroofed; the
roof of R.'Haggith's barn west' of Cen
tralia partially taken off; a barn be
longing to Mr. Thos Coats, Osborne,
deprived of its roof and several other
barns more or less injured. Tho losses
altogether will be heavy.

G. G. JGlHSTG 1,
McTavish's Old Stand,
!gird Shooters Beware,
A great many boys in this vicinity,
both in cities, towns and villages, are
in the habit of using air•guns for the
purpose of killing small birds, and the
authorities should put a stop to it Do
not those who offer these air guns for
sale know that it is illegal, that they
are liable to a heavy fine for selling
them, and every one of these air -guns
may be confiscated by the authorit'e,s?
Every boy or man who is found with
an air gun, even if he is not killing
birds, can be fined for having such gun
in his posession, so both merchants and
boys should take warning, for chapter
148 of the Dominion statutes makes
carrying air guns an imprisonable of
fence. The boy who shoots birds with
slings or air a•uns does not do so .be-
caase he is`vicions or cruel, or because
be has any spite against the birds. He
does it because he is filled with impul-
ses which he cannot himself explain,
and because the restless activities of
his nature are always seeking some
kind of a vent. Most boys admire the
plumage and song of birds, and would
be very sorry if the feathered nest
builders were never seen in our trees.
Why, then, do they hunt them with
such eagerness, wounding, killing and
driving them from .their chosen haunts.
The boys themselves cannot answer
this question. No one juvenile bird
hunter in twenty could, if pinned down
to it, give any reason whatever for en-
gaging in the cruel war of extermina-
tion.
