The attention of postmasters has been called to the importance of a very careful stamping of registered letters. Every registered letter should be stamped with force three times by the dispatching officer, once on the face and twice on the back, the impressions on the back being placed across the edge of the flap. Much trouble is still occasioned by the imperfect stamping of ordinary letters, and postmasters are strongly urged to give the needful attention to this important duty. It has' been decided by the Post -office Department that the name,3r.nd address of the sender of a private post card may appear on the face or address side of the card. The address may take the form of an ordinary business card, and may be either printed or written.

D.EATII of WILLMA11 HORN.- —This week it again falls to our lot to chronicle the death of another of the pioneers of the Huron tract, in that person Of 'William p Horn, of the London road, a short distance south of Exeter, which took place on Thursday evening. Deceased W. -been •been confined to his home the past erg'htyears,suffer- ing from rheumatism, but a recent se- vere attack of erysipelas hastened his death. He suffered intensely„but bore his affliction with christian fortitude. William Horn was born in Sutcombe, Devonshire, England, in Jul 1818. At y , i the B. 0. e•trs he joined the age of 10 church, and had continued a member of that denomination until its amalg- amation with the Methodists, from which time he had been an adherent of the latter church. In the year 1811 he married Miss Grace Brock, daughter of Samuel Brock, of Devonshire, and together with his wife, emigrated to Canada in 1813. They first settled in Darlington township where they leased a farm. Remaining there five years they moved to Yarmouth. In 1853 they came to Usbornetownship, purchasing g a bush farm in the 8th con. near Zion. By industry and good management they hewed ont a home and saved snffi cient of this world's goods to afford them comfort and plenty in old age. Mr. Horn, with characteristic gsne r- ositgene r- osity. gave a corner of his farm on which to build a school house, also a portion for a cemetery. He gave half the brick for the Zion church and hauled the same. His shanty was the home for the minister, and before the erection of the church was used for holding service.. At seasons when times were hard with him he was known to walk a long distance and purchase 100 lbs of hay for the mini- ster's horse. The late John Taylor preached the first sermon at Zion. Although not a seeker for public office Mr. Horn was a prominent figure in that neighborhood and esteemed by everybody. In the year 1878 he retired from the farm and came to Exeter to live, and before his affliction, was al- most daily seen on the streets, jovial and entertaining. He leaves a widow and five children to• survive him : Samuel, on the homestead; -Mrs. Reid, of Palmerston; Mrs. William Hanson of Fullarton; Mrs. Sam'l Peart of Us- borne and Mrs. Martha Manning at home. The funeral on Sunday was largely attended, the cortege contain- ing 80 vehicles when it left the resi- dence. and supplemented along the road the number was vastly increased before the Zion cemetery was reachect, at which place, the scene of his early days, his remains were interred. Bogus $2 Dominion bills are in. circulation. They are dated July, 1887, and number 131,000. $00,000 in bank bilis was stolen from the C. P. R. pay car between Ottawa and Quebec.

In the early morn the weather threatened the day's proceedings, but after a light shower, sufficient to lay the dust, the clouds passed away, and save a. strong wind, no finer weather could have been desired. At 10 o'clock a. ni. the pro- gram commenced with a caiithurnpian procession, and headed by the Exeter brass band, was marched through the principal streets.

The foot ball match was con- testedb five teams,onefrfrom Kippen, Varna, Centralia, St. Marys and Exe- ter.

The country is full of unrest and speculation from east•to west, politics is the prevailing topic of the hour—statesmen are handled without gloves by those unfavor— able to them, but upheld by those whose shade of politics reflects the hues of the particular person; the standing up to a principle an- nounced, living and acting it everywhere and under the most trying ordeal is the man only . to be relied on.
