The southern banks of the 'Sauble river, west of Main street, while natur. ally level, broad aud clean, are made to present & disgraceful sight, by their being used aa a dumping ground for all kinds of debris. The banks and even street are literally covered with old tins, tins havings and brushfrora orchards and groves, and scattered in such' a nasnner as to make pedesbrianiene along the river impossible. The Board of Health should take the matter In hand and have the practise stopped, not only from% health standpoint, but to reclaim a pleasant leisure walk along the river The citizens are not to blame for the disgraceful state of the river banks as this is the only spot where refuse can be dumped., and it must be dumped somewhere, On the council falls the onus of blame, as repeatedly it has been suggested that they purchase a hole somewhere where such matter can be deposited, far enough out, to be of nuisance to no one ; but a move has never been made, and possibly, shall never be until an injunction has been served upon the Board. Exetee has the mime of being & clean neat town, bub if that dumping ground Is not re- moved, It will soon lose its good name, as the heaps of debris are now assuming such gigantic proportions that they cat be seen quite distinctly by persona parsing along Mein streen We would Bugged that a lot in the old gravel pit on the lake road, be purchased from Mr, A, binieonell, The holes there are of little value to the owner, but would make a seIettdici dumping ground, and eoul.1 doubtlees be pur- chtteed at a nominal figure.

There are many persoes who attach but little importance to ad• vertising from the fact that too frequently the commodities men- tioned by the advertiser or owner are not as represented when plac- ed before the purchaser, hence the daily expression, "Oh that's not , true, it's only an advertisement or blow." Advertising is intended to convey to the reader the different wares for sale by the merchant, acid should csrry to the people facts undeniable in tbe produotion let articles mentioned.

Both of them soon after joined the first class meeting formed by that Denomination in Exeter, Der religion was not like the mists of the morning that vanishes when the sun has risen upon them, but like the rock that abides. She has left an imperishable re- cord in the church,which for many years she dir- ectly served by the entertainment and encourage- ment of its ministry and by active service in the hild and Womans' Missionary Societies, and. which she serv ed indirectly by contributing in net .small degree by her wise -and affectionate counsels to the constancy and efficiency of the official services other husband as a former leaderin the set -vice of swig in the public congregation, and for many years in the superintendeney of the SabbathSohool,. From a heart, kind by nature, made kinder still by grace she poured out a wealth of affection on her relations and her friends and acquaintances in gen- eral, for whia she received in return many tokens of gratitude in health, and many of sorrowful sympathies during her affliction. The beautiful floral wreaths lam won her coffin by the Ladies' AidandWomans' Missionary . Societies and other friends bore silentwitness to the esteem in which ehe was held.
