At a publiclineetindelheld in the Town on the evening of Sept. 21st, celled by the directors of the cemetery, to consider matte re pee - tabling to the welfare of the cemeterea the directors placed before the meeting certain suggestions and propositioue for consideration. They. suggeeted that, °wit:Agit° the growing nuportance and dimensions or the cemetery, the time he,d come when radical changes should be made in its management and control; also that if possible cep - Vein weed; and improvements should be effected. They suggested that the caretaker be engaged by Hee year,: that his whole time might be devoted. to the cemetery; that definite rules and orrizsmerammagiagam!ger regulations snow be formulated god_ g.

The directors were of the opinion that it would. re- quire about Set' el to carry out these changes and improvements. They lerOpeeed to raise this $51,0 in the fol- lowing tuannere---First to apply w the village council for a grant ; success- ftd then to apply to the councils ot the sutTounding municipalities ftir a grAnt also. They propoeed also to send to all iot holders at a. distance.a printed circular setting forth the factsof the case and asking tor contributious towards spring ; they proposed to open a sub- cription list toesecure sufficient money to pay for. say 159 days, labor, to be plied in improviug the old part of e cemetery. The meetieg, although not largely atteuded seemed most anxious that something should be done. They considered the proposition offer- ed hy the clireetors feasible and in the right direction. By a unanimous reece lotion it was decided that a petition be circulated forthwith. praying the council of Exeter to grout the emu of WO to the directors to :assist in this work and improvernerite. which had Leen indicated lay the direettare. A petition of over 2.eil ratepayers was pteeented to the council ;et he lest meeting asking a grant of Slue for the above mentioned purposee,_ which pet- ition the council practically ignored, thus Ivirtually defeatiug the whole selieme, for it is obvious that the di- rectors cannot apply to the other mon- icipalities. when our own council e - fuses to act, nor can they issue circu- lars to those at, a distance, engaging to carry out certain things unless assured that they will be able iltrancially FO to do, Some ot the metulaes of the commit iusist that a petition is of no weight, thot people will sign any 'petition how- ever ridiculous. No doubt there is an element truth in this statement es- pecially when no money consideration is involvecabut the ratepayers will not sign a petition for a grant ot taxes for any purpose, unless they mean it. The suggestion advanced y a few that the directors should apply for in- corporation is not valid for tbe follow- ing reasons:- Firat, the cemetez y does not eontain the amount of land requir- ed by law to incorporate : 2ncl, the ex- peuse of incorporation lird. incorpor- ation would confer no additional powers or advantages.. There are many who are sincerely anxious that the cemetery sbould be improved and properly, kept up aud who will regret to see the whole scheme frustrated. To keep our cem- etery well ordered and beautiful is a duty devolving upon us of a sacred character. Looked at from n lower and material standpoint it certainly will conduce to the best:interests of the. village at large. A LOT HOLDER. Total.. ............ But this does not include. running ex- penses except coal. Dr. Macdonald, of Huron, is having a warm time with some of his con- stituents over the Government's aetion coucerniug prohibition. Dr. Macdon- ald bas been avowedly a, life-long pro- hibitionist, but when it came to the test it was found that be was ready to snake his temperance principles sub- servient to party exigencies. He him- self acknowledged this the other day at a political Ineeting where he was subjected to a vigorous ca.teubism. The Rev. W.J.Freed pressed the doctor for answers to questions in substance as "Did Mr. Laurier know before he submitted the Plebiscite, that he could not command a snificient majority in the House to pass a Prohibitory law ?" Dr. Macdonald's answer was -"He did know." Then said Mr. Freed -‘'Why did he put the country to the unnecessary expense?" "That at the next election, the peo- ple might elect Prohibitionists to l'ar- liament," was the answer. "How many Prohibitionists are there in the House ?" asked .Mr. Freed. "Probably about 14,- was the re- ply. "How many of these," asked Mr. Freed. "could Mr. Laurier put bis fin- ger on, and know they would. vote for 'Prohibition from principle, aside from party." "Not one," replied the doctor. But it cost a, quarter of a million dol- lars to thus make a. toy of the greatest moral question ever presented for the consideration of the people, and pur- posely deceive a large and influential element of the electorate.

Quebec, Oct. 3. -Tea thousand peo- ple witnessed yesterday the memora- ble event of the laying of the corner- stone of the Quebec bridge by Sit - Wilfrid Laurier. Sir Wilfrid was ac- companied by three of his colleagues -Hon. Mr. Blair, Minister of Rail- ways; Hon. Mr. Bernier, Minister of Inland Revenue, and "Hon. Mr. Fitz- patrick, Solicitor -General. Sir Wil- frid, accompanied by his collegaues, left the Chateau Fronfenac at 1 o'clock, and, escorted by a brilliant cortege of carriages, drove to Cap Rouge, arriving there about the same time as those who had come by wa- ter. He was enthusiastically recena ed, and a very long and eloquent ad- dress was presented to him by the president of the company, Hon. S. N. Parent. Sir Wilfrid, itt his reply, was in his happiest vein, and delivered it speech Which was constantly interrupted by loud applause: He congratulated the city on having finally secured the long -deferred accomplishment of its dearest wish, and prophesied great and important results from it, and £121 increase of prosperity, both to the city. itself, which had alrekuly made marvelous progress during the last few years, but also to the Pro- vince and Domialon at large. Sir Wilfrid proceeded afterwards to the laying of the corner -stone. The mallee and trowel used on tho occa- sion are made of solid 'silver, and their combined weight is 25 ounces The handle of the mallet is set off at the base with ornamentation of 1S -karat gold, while that of the trowel is silver, exquisitely carved, and the blade bears near the joint a gold raised medallion, on which are the arms of the City of Quebec. Each implement is foiely engraved with the following inscription: “Presented to the llight Hono- Sir . Wilfrid Laurier, P.C., M.
