CLEVERLY GAPTURE.D.-On Mon- day evening while passing along main street, Detective Westcott noticed a boy carrying a loaf of bread under his arm and acting otherwise strangely. Re accosted him andafter ashort inter- view took charge of the boy. The lad assume(' i nd air ni an independent ent but after some intimidation, confessedthat be had run away from his home in Bayfield and that his name was Willie Johnston. His parents were com- municated with and his father came here on Tuesday and took the boy home, He left home Monday morn- ing and walked to Exeter; he had no objective point to reach, but was in a wandering mood. Detective Westcott was handsomely rewarded for his trouble: ARENNAN AGAIN IN TROUBLE. -Our readers will remember Joseph Bren- nan, who last fall, was arrested for stealing a watch from Luther Braund, Exeter North, as also being an ac- complice in connection with the sev- eral incendiary fires last March. The Judge at Goderich, before whom he was taken for trial released him on certai`lruin tod s. Latelyhe has been in Chicago, returning hme the other day. On Thursday last he hired a rig from Forbes' livery, Seaforth, to go to see his uncle about2miles out of town. Not returning in due time, the liveryman made inquiry . and found that Brennan had; left for parts un- known. Constable Dunlop traced him to Exeter, where it was learned he traded the harness with Gray Bros., receiving $2.50 difference. Constable Westcott joined Mr.I)unlop here and they traced theyou ngmanto Centralia, from there to Lucan and thence to London, Mr. Westcott saw him at a distance in London, but Brennan left at once for, St. Thomas wher"e he was captured about noon Saturday. They returned to Exeter Sunday forenoon, Mr, Dunlop taking the prisoner on to Seaford'. Brennan had endeavored to sell or exchange the horse several Cities. He is also wanted. in Stratford for stealing two overcoats. PEnSoNALs.--C. B. Marsland left on Monday, for England, where he will spend `three months renewing old acquasntances, -.

The Village Council will meet again. on Friday evening to consider the tenders for stone. It is the intention of the Council to purchase about 100 Cords of stone, have them broken and placed on Iain -,t, instead of gravel, Mr, R. Davis has moved into his new residence on John street.

Louis Day after feeding five hogs for one month made a gain in their weight of 300 _pounds. Mr. Day is a good feeder and knows how to cultivate pork. The Orangemen of Woodham tend in- tend building a new hall the coming summer. A goodly sum has been subscribed toward the erection of the building. Exeter should establish a horse and stock market day. Several other towns in the county have established such, and find it profitable to the busi- ness of the towns. A motion to remove the county buildings from Sandwich to Windsor was defeated by a vote of 21 to 11 in the Essex Council, and it was decided to put the old buildings in a good state of repair. The session of theMiddlesex County t Council last week cost the county $058 20. Of this amount $96.60 went for the payment of mileage fees. The Councillors collectively travelled 900 miles, .and they are allowed 10 cents per mile. Merchants and others should not throw salt on the granolithic pave- ment, as it injures the composition and consequently.the walk. Sand is a splendid substitute, as it prevents slipping, and from which no injury will result to the walk. Some time ago Ram's Horn offered a prize for the `best story in less'thau a thousand words. There were a great many stories contributed, but the one written by Rev. James Livingstone, of Kincardine, was given the first prize by the 'committee. The nuts last week complained of the practise of boys sleigh -riding and skating on the sidewalks. We notice that the council have taken action,aud in future it will be aviolation of the by-laws and a punishable offence to carry on either of these childish pleas- tu'es. At a meeting of the Quarterly Board of Main street church on Monday even- ing last, Rev. H. W. Locke,was invited to remain pastor of the church for another year. He accepted the invi- tation subject to the ruling of station- ing committee. The finances are in a. satisfactory condition. bliss Mary E. Grant, second daughter of the late W. G. Grant, of Seaforth, was last week married to Henry J. Park. Miss J. H. Imrie, of Rodger- ville, acted as bridesmaid and W. G. Grant, M. S., brother of the bride, supported the groom. Mr. Park was born in Seaforth, and is now farming near London. The results of the Christmas examin- ations of the• Guelph Agricultural College, have been made known. W. J. Elliott, Seaforth, and J. N. Rat- cliffe, Anderson, passed creditable first year examinations ; while P. C. Macdonald, of Lucknow, succeeded well in his second year's examination. A very pleasant event took place at the residence of Mr. Forsythe, jr., near Kippen, when the pupils of his school met to show their appreciation of his labors among them. An address, ex- pressing their appreciation, was read by Master D. S. Blair, while the pre- sent, a silver fruit basket and pencil, was presented by Messrs. W. Passmore and D. Bell. At a special meeting of the S. 0. E. B. S., on Wednesday evening of st week, C. B. Marsland, late President, was presented with an address accom- panied by a neat gold Society Em- blem as -a token of respect. The ad- dress was rS : d by Bro. W. Sweet, was of a cheerio \;harrcter and conveyed the best wises' of the members for a safe and pleasant voyage. Last wek we notiedthe death of John A. Smith, son of Samuel. Smith, of Seaforth. We are now appraised of the death of his eldest sister, Miss Maggie Smith. The brother died on Monday, and the sister on the follow- ing Thursday. Miss Smith was ill for about a year, and fell a victim to the same disease as her brother, con- sumption. Miss K. Hodgins, eldest daughter of W. R. Hodgins, proprietor of the Commercial hotel, Hensall was united inmarriag.eon Fridayevening, January 17th, to Harry Burns, of Detroit. The groom is reported to be a young man of considerable means, and' we believe the happy couple intend spending some time in travel, and then making their home in Nebraska, Kansas, where they will be followed by the good wishes of their friends. • Mr. Gilbert Grieve mover' last week from the old homestead, 21st con., Mc- Gillivray, to 8th con., where he will re- main for the present year, after which he will take possession of his own pro- perty, the McNally farm, on the 20th. con., which he purchased some Clause ago from his •brother.

PunLic LIa Y.--Exet ; can boast of one of the guest libr. •les of any town in Ontario, and the best ar- ranged, best ventilated and most com- fortable reading room we have seen. Yet it is not patronised by the general public as it should be, We notice by our exchanges people of other towns ask- ing for just such an institution as we have in Exeter, justifying their claims on the plea that the young people re- quire a well equipped library and com- fortable reading room. We would suggest that the young people take hold of the library, become active members and make it a success. An obliging librarian is always in charge DEATn or MRS. BALSDEN.-The following particulars of the • death of Mrs. George Balsden, formerly of US - borne township, near Rodgerville, have beenlifurnished THE TIMES from Cavalier, North Dakota: ---"Died Jan. 21st, 1890, at her home in Cavalier Co., North Dakota, Jane Balsden, wife of Geo.

ROYAL TEurr..uts.-The annual dis- trict meeting of the Royal Tenaplars of Temperance for the County of Hur- on was held at Kippen on Tuesday, January 2Sth.. In the absence of J. E. Tom, through illness, Geo. Penhale took the chair and called the meeting to order. Delegates were asked to register their names and the meeting then proceeded with routine business. Committees were appointed, :after which the delegates repaired to the residence of R. Me111ordie, Esq., where dinner was servedbythe ladies of the astic, car t Kippen Council. The afternoon sess- ion was taken up with the reading of reports and discussion hereon. These reports, which in the main were adopt- ed, recommended the holding of open meetings ; more fraternal visits among the Councils ; reduction of capitation tax ; giving prizes for essays on tem- perance, and the resuscitation of suspended ceuncils. Res. W. H. Butt of Centralia, was elected delegate to the Grand Council. An excellent con- cert wasiven in the hall in the even- ing, which was well attended and did credit to the peiformers.

Messrs Brown & Clark carriage makers, Hensall, have purchased the twolotsopposite their shop,fromR Cud - more. These lots were formerly own- ed by R A.
