The play grounds were cleaned up and the scholars then spent a few hours in the woods picking flowers. The authorities of the Grand Trunk railway have decided that all advertise- ments o€patent tn;edicines and other noticesmust tbecleaned out of the rail- way rooms at all stations along their lines. The Ontario Department' hasnow in preparation a new textbook which will be placed in all the schools for pupils le the lower Ierms. It deals with Agriculture, forestry ,and such topics. At the odjoctrned vestry meeting of the Trivitt Meznoral church on Mon- day, D. Dyer %va$ appointed Rector's warden, in the room and stead of G.

Bawclen, of Exeter; for $1,325. , The faun contains 50 acres with frame buildings thereon. The farm has since been purchased by Farmer Bros. STATION I OTEs.—During the past week business around the station has been booming, shipping operations be- ing extensive. P. Curtin shipped 8 car loads of cattle to the old country ; Wes. Snell two car loads of stock to Montreal on Monday ; Prior & Arm- strong. car load of hogs to Ingersoll ; H. Willett, two car Loads of bogs to Toronto, besides several car loads of baled hay by J. J. Colwill. The grain merchants have also been busy ship- ping out grain. THE WooL TRAD ,E The wool sea- son is rapidly drawing tear, but owiug to the Spanish trouble, and probable disturbance of the ziinney market, no values are given. The recent heavy duty r,n Canadian wool going into the United States, renders it necessary for farmers; to exercise the greatest care in preparing their wool for mar- ket. All wool should be washed well on sheep's bawk,as none other but wool thus washed can be exported. Farmers will do well to govern themselves ac- cordingly. Ex1Tan'S ASSESSD3ENT.—A. E.Fuke, the assessor, has kindly handed us the following figures from the assessment roll of 189S:—Non-resident tax -payers, 02; children between the ages of 5 and 16, 423; male persons between the ages of 21 and 60 years, 319; total population 1825; value of personal property $44,- 125; taxable iecolne,$3,700; total assess- ment $498,175; No. dogs, 153.; cattle, 140; sheep 12; hogs,16i; horses, 224; No. of births during the year, 21, deaths Id;.18 steam boilers. Tacks.—Some eight or ten of the local cyclists had quite an experience the other day while riding on the side- walk on Huron street. Some person who is no doubt averse to cycling on the sidewalks had distributed a packet of tacks along the walk, and when the wheelmen came along the result was nearly every tire "wen t up." Whether there is any satisfaction in this despicable action, there is one thing certain, that if the guilty person is discovered it will prove an expensive bit of fun for him, as the tacks are liable to injure ladies' shoes as well as bare-footed children. TTARIGHTS OP BI cYd LtsTs.—Ever since the bicycle came into general use it has been looked upon by horsemen, and especially by farmers, as consider- able of a nuisance, and as frequent cause of accidents, Many drivers (es- pecially ladies) apparently do not con- sider bicyclists have a right to half the beaten track on the road, but in the session of 1895 an tet was passed by the Ontario Legislature conferring upon bicyclists about the same privileges on the highway as were enjoyed by vehi- cles. Bicyclists should remember that on coming up to a vehicle from behind before passing it be must give audible warning of his presence, otherwise he is liable to a heavy penalty. As EXETER Boo's Stecoxss.—Many of our readers -will remember Willie Harrison, who some time Ago lived With his grand father, the•late Richard Harrison, on Andrew street,and all will be pleased to learn of his marked success. A few weeks ago he was ap- pointed mail sergeant on the torpedo boat destroyer,: Mayflower, of the United States squadron blockading. Havana,. The, position was given him without his application, although there were two hundred, applicants for the posb. The young man has served five years in the United States service,; chiefly at the Brooklyn navy yard and is deservedly liekl in high esteem by his superior officers, having been pro- moted ro- rno edsuperior times. t v The Mayflower may be used as Admiral Sampson's flagship in any naval actions which intty :occur.

The venerable couple are hale and hearty, after theirsixty years of wedded life, their birthdays having been in the years 1814 and 1812, respec- tively.

A., and thirteen intermediate and eight junior districts will be established. Schedules will be arranged on . May 13. An in- teresting season is uutieipated for the national game. "Tse Wmow' TROUBLES."—The Rev. Charles Smith, is preaching a series of sermons on "The Widow." His first sermon was delivered last Sunday evening on "The Widow's Troubles." He introduced his theme by a picture of a beleanurecl city, and then, showed that the good woman spoken of in the text was literally be- sieged by a host. Grim Death, with skeletoned visage, was there, and she was bereft of her husband; Grim Pov- erty was there, with pinching poverty and face blanched to whiteness ; Grim Debtwas there, with his harryingcred- i.tors. The topic, as thus expounded, was a very pathetic one. The fore- closure of the mortgage, as illustrated in a celebrated picture by a Canadian artist, was described graphically with moving pathos. The widow's resolu- tion to appeal her case to the Supreme Court --to Heaven itself—was one of the principal practical lessons from the subject. Someone has been com- puting that the Main street Methodist Church has not less than eighteen widows in its regular congregation, so that while the brief series of sermons will have valuable lessons for the gen- eral hearer, yet they will have special instruction and comfort for those in sorrow and adversity. `'si-33.21 EXETER. POST OFFICr—It seems passing strange that • a postmaster has not as yet been appointed for the of- fice here. Itis now about five months since the vacancy occurred through the death of -David Johns, and just why a successor has not been appoint- ed is a mystery to all—both Liberals and Conservatives. The approaching election is no longer an excuse for de- lay, unless, perchance a bye-electionis expected. The M. P.., considering him- self incapable of making a selection, called a meeting of the Reformers of. Exeter, here, about a month ago. Mr, Christie was selected as the choice of the balloting committee,'as the person to receive the appointment yet up to date the commission has not been is- sued. The office is in good hands nn - der the present deputy, still if a head postmaster is a necessity at all, surely five months is long enough for such an office to remain vacant. The citizens are hecomingindignaut over the affair, and if Mr. Raiz, who controls the pat- ronage, Wishes to retrieve any of his lost prestige here, he will have the appointment made forthwith, whether it be Mr. Christie or one of his own choice who receives it. The office is a public one, and although very indulg- ent, yet the citizens of Exeter would like to see thismatter settled. DEA.TH OP MRS. WM. BROWN.— Mary Ann Brown, just deceased, was horn at Whetherslack, county of Westmoreland, England, on the 21st of Oct., 1833. She was the child of George and T3annarh Stonehouse, and emigrated with them to ttiis country in the year 184-, locating just to the north of Hampton, in the county of Durham. She was uniteclin marriage to William Brown on thelith of June, 1853. Seven children resulted from this union : Thomas, Methodist minister atpeen 4� sboro ; George, carriage build- er at Hensall ; Mary Elizabeth, de- ceased wife of Alfred Bailey . Ada Jane, wife of Thos. 'Bissett' ;Viliiam, carriage builder at Kirkton ; Edith, who still lives with her father ; and Fred, agent of the York County Loan and Savings Co. Mrs Brown's illness, whichterminated her life, began some five years ago in the form of internal. cancer, and, though everything was done that medical skill could possibly devise, yet the disease remained and advanced: The intense suffering pro- duced thereby was borne with re- markable fortitude, no word. of com- plaint ever escaping her lips, bub her invariable testimony was "I an in the Lard's lanais, letRina do whatseemeth Him good." She was an exemplary christian lady, and the bereaved hus- band and children have the, consoling thought that they mourn not as those who have no hope, for she died with: the full assurance of an abundant en- trance to that happy land where sick- ness, suffering and sorrow are un- known, Death ended her sufferings on the 7th inst., and on the 9th her re- mains were interred in, the Exeter cemetery, there to await the'resur- rection of the dead.
