The Enron County Oounell meets in Goderieb in June. London has forty two churches valued at over half a million dollars. The population of Parkhill is 1557, a slight increase over last year. The Oouncil met on Friday evening and transacted considerable business. The aunual meeting of the Exeter Salt Works Co., takes plane on June 3rd. Village mileh cows were given their liberty yesterday to run the streets. Mr, W. Level t took possession of the Bobier Produce Co'e business on Monday. o ce C a y Prof. McBee the se called musical prodigy held forth in a vacent shop in town last week, but with meagre luck. Walerloo has a population of 3427, be: ing an increase in a year of 140. The assessment is $1,336,295, being an increase since 1891 01 18,025. Those merchants who laid in stocks of sager before the extra duty was placed thereon are several dollars ahead of those who were not so fortunate: Deposits in the Government Savings Bank on the 30th April amounted to 817,055,044, deposits during the month having been $261,367; withdrawals, 5304,078. The braes band at the annual meeting elected the following officers. -Pres. Jos. Senior; Vice Pres. D. Dyer -Seo Y, T. Oke; Treas. A Fake; H. Gidley leader. The band is in a good financial condition - A young driving horse belonging to Mr. Paul Madge, of Usborne, died in town on Thursday. Being a 'stubborn ;brute, is reared, and falling burst, a blood vessel, from the effects of which it died.] The High School entrance and Public School leaving examinatione begin on the` 27th of June at 8.45 a. m.; the High School primary on July 4th, at 8.40 a. m, ; the High School Junior leaving and pass matriculation on July 2nd, at 8.40 a. m. An infant child of Mr. Geo. Anderson met witfi a bad accident on Thursday. One of the children let the child tall off her knee, and falling on the ground a rusty nail in a board ran into the child's head nearly an loch. Two doctors were sum- moned. To secure a transfer of a tavern license from one party to another is not suoh an easy matter under the Iate amendments to the license law as it has been heretofore. Every transfer must now be applied for in the regular way and advertised the same as an application for a license. These collisions between bicycles and pedestrians are largely the result of long continued neglect to observe the rules of the road. Many people in walking have for years ignored the injunction to "keep to the right," and have passed as frequent- ly to the left as to the right hand side when meeting others. The insurance claims of Mr. J. P. Ross on his building, stock and furniture last week damaged by fire, have been adjusted by the several companies, Mr. Rose re- ceiving $25 on household furniture, $450 on building and $3,100 on stock. These sums do not nearly coyer damage and Mr. Rose will be a loser to a considerable ex- tent: The recent addition by the Dominion Government of cent a pound on raw sugar has caused a jump in price at the local groceries. The price has now risen from 3i to 4i cents a pound. Where people were getting 25 pounds of granu- lated sugar for 51, they now get 20, and instead of 30 pounds of brown sugar they are getting 26' Mr. John Beacom of Goderioh township happened with au accident the other day by whih he has been laid up since. His bull got away from its fastenings and in endeavoring to catch the ring in its nose the animal playfully turned its bead °to one side and pinned his left arm, It was thought for a time that Mr. Beacom•s arm was broken, but we are pleased to say the injured member is likely to come all right. The Creditors of Mrs. Anna Ball, insol- vent fnrnitnre dealer and undertaker of Dashwood, met on Saturday. There was a large attendenoe. Statements of assets and liabilities were read, which showed Mrs. Ball about 01,000 behind, It was decided to advertise and diepoee of the business and stock. Mr, Joseph Snell was appointed assignee, while Messrs. Henry WilIert, W. L. Callfas and Valen- tine Rate were appointed Inspectors. For particulars of eale,,eto., see advertisement in another column. Last week Mr. A. Stewart did some rapid work in the line of egg gathering. In four home on Wednesday afternoon last he handled 1737 dozen at Centralia, having dome from Staffa and Cromarty in in the morning where he packed 1552 dozen. He went to Zurich on Monday and packed 2311 dozen. We would like to hear of some one beating this record. Mr. Stewart is, we believe, the chainpion of Huron, in handling eggs: CanadianrBaker:and;Confectioner:With the change in the'flour market bread will have to be advanced where it has been selling at less than ten Dents a loot.

Browning has been appointed loom consul by the 0.W.A. for Exeter and yioinity. The duties of the consul are to furnish information to travellers when desired and keep the association posted on all points of interest , 9 te. Truancy Matters. We understand that quit e a number of obildren who should be attending school are not doing so, and no eatisfaetory reason is given to the Principal for their absence. The truancy officer has notified a number t -f the parents, but every little attention has been paid thereto. The school law is very strict in this respect, and parents must obey it or suffer the consequences. if children do not attend school, the Truancy Officer -much as he may dislike to do it-- will be compelled to lay information against all who disregard his notices, and the magistrate before whom the cases may come will have no alternative but to impose a Ene of at least $5 and costs in every case: Children mast positively attend school regularly (unless sick or otherwise ptoperiy absent) and the Truant Officer may lay an information at any time after haying once served a notice on the parent. The Cold Ware, From light waists and light dresses in the morning on the part of the ladies, and from neglige shirts, straw hats and blaz- ers, on the part of the gentlemen, to fors, flannels and overcoats in the evening, was the experience on Saturday. Old Probs was right for once, and now the small boy is beginning to wonder whether after all he really did go swimming last week or was it all a dream ? There was a rush to Dover delicate flowers that had been trans- ferred from pots to the open air beds, and a scurrying to find covers for grape vines and other frail plants that had sprouted eo vigoroualy during the week of somewhat premature summer weather that the people of Western Ontario had been per mated to enjoy. Saturday night was i cloudy and wintry, and although 'the weather was uncomfortably cold there were no visible signs of frost. Sunday night was clear and the frost out down eyerytbing open to its reach, vines and early fruits suffering severely. Furnaces jumped quiokly iuro demand ..again and those who had moved their cook stoves: into the summer kitchen are rather sorry Personals. Mr. Ed. Bishop, sou of Mr. 11 Bishop, of this place, who is attending the Toronto University, has been very ifl•of late, and bfr• P. L. Bishop visited him the other day.

Exeter will have the best 24th May cele- bration in the County of Huron. The work on the new granolithic sidewalk will be commenced shortly. The mercury dropped 32 degrees be- tween 11 a. m. and 8. p. no on Satur- day. Mr. Aubry shipped a car load of fine looking draught horses from this station on Tuesday for Montreal. Some farmers report the grasshoppers very numerous this spring. In another column one farmer gives a partial remedy for the evil. There weremore marriages in Ontario in December than in any other month of 1893, Even leafy June was not in it with the season of plum puddings, roast goose and general festivity, Francis Cornish, of Uaborne, died on Sunday last after a brief illness, of inflammation of the lungs. He was one of the pioneer residents of that township. His romaine" were interred in Zion cemetery on Wednedday. Chief of Police Skirving of Ingersoll, was last week paid by the County of Oxford the usual $100 for capturing the horse thief, Geo. Smith, who spent one Sunday recently the guest of Chief Gill. Why not Chief gill lay claim to a por- tion of this one hundred ? He was partially instrumental in Smith's cap- ture, The congregation of the London West Methodist Church Sunday had the pleasure of seeing their pastor, Rev I .

Mrs. James Parkinson and daughter leave this week for Trout Creek, to join Mr Parkinson, and make Trout Creek their home for the present. Several citizens are wearing goggles these days, not to screen a black eye, but in consequence of an attack of disease known as the -pink eye." Much sympathy is felt for Mr. W. J. Hicks, of Logan who lost his wife last week from typhoid fever, She was only 33 years of age, and beloved by all who knew her. A petition has been presented to the city council of London asking for a curfew bell making the hour at which children under the age or apparent age of 15 years shall not be in the streets in summer after 9 o'clock p. m•, and in winter after 8 o'clock p m. n The weather which during the past week had hovered around 90° in the shade took a sudden slope on Sunday and drop - Ped to freezing point. ° Not only did citizens feel uncomfortable, but vines and young fruit and vegetables suffered more or less destruction. .Fhe announcement of a grand military demonstration at London, Ont., on May 24th, appears on this page, The program is so attractive that there will doubtless be an immense gathering of visitors. Special rates have been seoured on all railways. Mrs, Addis Martin, of Wroxeter was brought to the asylum here about a month since. She had gene insane on religious matters during the excitement of a revival. On Friday she died of paralysis, and the body was taken home on Saturday night.

An Exchange says :-Having captured the medical and legal profeesione, the ladies have now made a raid on the ranks of the commercial travellers. A few days ago a bright, smart, business -like young lady, representing a wholesale hoose in Hamil- ton, called at several business houses, and by her sweet, persuasive manners auooeeded in booking liberal orders.;; Bulletins Nos: 22 and 23 just received from the Dominion Experimental farm at Ottawa, treat, the first bf the best varieties and the care of raspberries, and the second on spraying for fruit .petite, rotate. blights and black knot.

Nearly all kinds of fruit trees are out in full bloom at present. Of course it is too early altogether to predict what may be the 'emelt, but it is said that hard winters are supposed to be good tor apples. and as last year's crop was an indifferent one, a big crop generally following a small ono should be the experieuce this year. The above was put in type before the destruo• tive frosts of Sunday and Tuesday nights, which swept everything at all perishable. ome weeks ago we announced the death of Wallace Graham, formerly of the Parkhill Gazette. He had lately lived at Norfolk, Virginia, and was conducting a newspaper there. In the, paper published by him appears the following the week after his death; -"This paper was not published last week on account of the death of the proprietor and editor. He simply wishes to say that he had grown tired of life, and he hopes the public to whom he owee nothingwill be charitable in the criticism of his action. God gave him life. He did not ask God to do that, He finds life unenjoyable through faults of his own and he feels he has no responsibility beyond himself. There is no one depend- ent on him. He has a right to relieve himself of the gift of life which was forced upon him." KIDNEY FAOTs. In Jan., 1892 my son was taken with Kiri- n ey disease, Though attended by three phy- sicians, and change of climate he grew worse and by'95 had fallen from 195 to 95 lbs.
