In Ontario wheat is considerably higher,
with sales of winter wheat at Ontario
points as high as 67 I-2 cents. This is
about as high as has been paid for
wheat in a couple of years in this
Isrovinee; The cause .of the advance
is the searoity of the grain, owing to the
small deliveries by the farmers .for •same
weeks. The state of the country roads
has not been favorable to increased de-
liveries, and in view of the fact that
they will not be better for a few weeks.
at many points the'etitlook for wheat in
our markets does not indicate lowest
prices in the near future,

A peculiar feature of the present depart-
ing winter season has been the remarkable
absence of heavy rainfalls. there having
been very little rain all winter long. A
result of this is that many farm cisterns,
never before empty, are now dry and
farmers are without their venal soft water
supply.
Last week we made note of the fact of
all the newly washed clothes in town
being splattered with mud. We find on
looking over our exchanges that the com-
plaint was general,and the reasons diverse.
It is quite likely that the water which
supplied the snow was drawn from some
muddy creek.
Monday was a very disagreeable day to

Thie might also have been a case of sup-
posed incendiarism.

ents he left the lakes to work on a farm
in Yarmouth, near St. Thomas. Sonie
fifty years apo, with a brother, he came
to Exeter and purchased from the Can-
ada Co. the three farms now owned by
Messrs. Harvey, Frayne and McCord,
and during the early years was a coun-
cillor for the then united townships of
Stephen and Usborne. He married
Mise Gibson, daughter of the late Robb.
Gibson who resided on the Lake road,
who until a few years ago shared his
sorrows and joys, Deceased was a
member of the Presbyterian church and
a Liberal in politics, and was a very
beneyolent man. His home was always
open to the traveller, be he clergy or
tramp, and Mr. Anderson was always
the same genial person. Since retiring
from the McCord farm he had lived on
the Thames road and onjoyed good
health. There survives him two sisters,.
Mrs. Allison of Yarmouth and Mrs.
Middlesmiss, who has lately been his
housekeeper, both of whom are over
85 years of age. The funeral takes
place today (Thursday) for the Exeter
Cemetery.
Decide to Re -build.
A meeting of the Quarterly and
Trustee Boards of the Main street
Methodist church met on Monday even•
ing to receive and consider the reply
from James street church to the pro-
position for union submitted by the
ofliclals of Main at. church last week,
as follows :
"That this Board appoint a committee to
wait on the official Board of James street
ohurch,withaview to uniting the two con-
gregations, the lata united congregations to
meet in a new church to be built within one
year. in a central location between the pros -
est sites."
There was a full attendance,Rev.Jaek-
son, chairman of the Exeter District,
occupying the chair, The following is
a copy of the reply delivered by the
Official Board of James street church
"Resolved that we assure our brethren of
Main street church that we have received their
proposition most oordiel y and have given it
our most careful consideration; and we further
assure them that we are in favor of a union of
the two congregations if it oan be effected
without the sacrifice of too nnueh of the ma-
terial resourcesand moral influences of the
two churches; to ne the only way to prevent
that would be for the oongrogations to amal-
gamate for t e present in the joint and com-
mon use of the James street property, keeping
steadily in view the erection of a new church
in some central location between the two
present sites, and that sueh churoh be built as
soon as it now seem expedient to the collect-
ive wisdom of the newly formed Board of the
united ceigreeation;'and .wo further reeorn-
mendin order to the establishment of con-
fidence that a site bo selected,b by proper
committee as soon as the wo soots dsBide to
unite; and that stens be taken at once to se-
cure funds for building; and that this reply
be forwarded by the handl of biethren Peter
Prone, Chas. Snell and hos. Gregory on be-
half of the Board."
The question was discussed in its
different phases by those present, and
on a vote being taken the following
resolution was carried five to one, the
reply received being considered too in-
definite :
"Resolved that as ;the reply received from
the James street church does not meat the
terms sent in our offer fee ern published
above)we loee no ft:rtber time, but proceed to
rebuildon the old site.".
This decision, however, in not final,
as it will have to be ratified bx the
members and pew holders Of the church,
at a meeting t" be held on Monday
nigbt next in the Opera .Rouse. Should,
the meeting sustain the astiett of the

The Millinery openings in town
week were a grand success, far ahead
former years.
Sunday services in connection withtha
Main et. congregation were held in the
Opera House lest Sunday for the first
time. Large congregations greeted the
pastor and all seemed quite at home In
their new but temporary quarters.
u p y
The Inspector for the Manchester In-
surance Co. was in town on Friday and
adjusted the claim of the Main St. people,
giving his order for $5,100, the amount of
their policy. This sum together with the
brick in the old structure will be applied
in the erection of a new church—either
union or one to replace that recently
destroyed.
The medical Health Officer, will soon
issue his annual announcement- It em-
bodies a number of good enggestions which
should be noted upon as soon as possible.
Premises cannot be cleaned up, of course,
until the freebie out, but the matter ehould
be attended to promptly when it oan be
done: An importantsuggestion in the
circular is the reference to dry earth
closets, and the council should make these
compulsory next year. All the health
precautions that are possible should be
heartily concurred in by the townspeople.
Girls of a marriageable age do not like
to tell bow old they are, but you oan find
out by following the subjoined instructions,
the lady doing the figuring. Tell her to
put Flown the number of the monthin
which she was born; then to multiply it by
50: then to add her age; then substract
305; then to add 115; then tell her to tell
you the amount she has left. The two
figures to the right denote her age and the
remainder the month' of her birth. For
example. the amount is 822, she is 22
years old andjwas born in the eighth month
