EXETER 'UNION BURIAL GROUND.—
We have been requested to make the
following insertion on behelf of the
directors of the Exeter Union Burial
Ground. The seasons operations at
the cemetery are now fairly corn
menced, and as the expenses will
be very large this year, the directors
hope that all persons interested and
willing to assist will contribute as
liberally as possible. It will Rave the
directors much loss of time and trouble
if those intending to contribute would
hand some contributions to one of the
directors as soon as convenient. After
another year the directors hope to
have the cemetery in a well kept and
seemly condition, and then to become
incorporated, which will be a guaran-
tee that for all time the cemetery can-
not again fall into neglect. The direc-
tors who will receive contributions
and give receipts for same are Richard
Coates, D. Jacques, Thos. Case, Roger
Northcott, Wm. Russell, S. M. San-
ders, Chas. Snell, Thos. Prior, W. D.
Weeks, E. J. Spackman, C. Lutz.
All parties not having received proper
deeds for lots will kindly present their
certificate to W. D. W eeks, and re-
ceive 11 proper deed in exchange.
Should the certificate be lost a proper
deed will be given.

TOITHE EDITOR, EXETER TIMES.
Having heard that Victoria Day, 24th
of May, is not to be celebrated here
this year on account ot theclay being on
Saturday, would it not be well if this
town celebrate in good fashion on
Coronation Day, June 26th. Let some
committee be arraneed at once to for-
mulate some plan of celebrating. 'Tire
citizens should not let this special
year be a blank. If horse races are
not the thing let some athletic sports
form the chief feature. School con-
tests could be arranged such as drill-
ing and prizes given for boys shoot-
ing with 22 rifles, thus encouraging
what our Minister of Militia is about
to enforce in a few years to bring up
the young men in the Way they should
shoot. I understend a special open
service will be held for an 'lour in the
Trivitt Memorial church, then could
follow sports, and he the night an
immense bonfire be started. This
latter idea, is our good King's jo Brit-
ian, and bea,cot fires will be burnt
from North of Scotland to Lands End:
Thanking you for space, Yours truly,

HICKS' FORECASTS FOR MA -v. -About
the 3rd of May, the date on which the
moon passes over the celestial equa-
tor coming northword, look for decid-
ed rise in temperature, beginning of
course, inwestern parts, resulting in
threatening storms of thunder, wind
and rain progressively from west to
east about the 3rd, 4th and 5th. It is
quite probably that an unsettled, if
not stormy condition of the wsather,
will continue from these reactionary
storm days into and through the Vul-
can storm period extending from the
7th to the 12th. We would again call
attention to the fact that the month
of May brings a tier ot states. In the
nature of things this generates an
abnormal amount of electric and solar
energy in our atmosphere and usually
brings on a series of very threatening
and often dangerous storms, We be-
lieve that a daily series of. storms of
thunder, rain and wind, with heaVY
hail in many localities, will occur from
the 7th to the llth, and that at the
final "blow out" or break up of the
cycle, a marked change to cooler
weather, with great probability of
heavy frosts northward are almost
certain. If only one general storm
should occur at this period, the cool
wave and frosts will follow it up im-
mediately. A reactionary storm per-
iod is central on 14th and 15th,followed
on the 10th by the passage of moon
oyer the celestial equator, on her way
! to south declination. Such a thing is
not improbable for the daily cycle
period referred to above to last into
this reactionary period, and if such
should prove to be the case, _look fora
general and violent culmination on
and touching the 16th. Very cool
nights and frosts over northern sec-
tions will most likely follow these
reactionary perturbations, with very
cool weather over EnOst parts of the
country, lasting from about the 1.6th
up to about the 19th. The Vulcan
storm peiiod, central on the 21st and
covering the • 19th to the 23rd, is
another period in which very active
storms may be counted on. We will
name Wednesday, Thursday and Fri-
day, the 21st, 22nd and 23rd, as the
days upon which the storms of this,
period will develop and run their
course from west to east. As we
enter this period the days and nights
begins to grow sultry and warm.
About the g0th these conditions will
break into active stoems of rain, wind
and thunder in western sections, and
cluritig the three days next following,
these storms will increases in extent
and severity as they gather force and
move eastward across the country.
On and touching the 26th and 27th
look for change to much warmer, fall-
ing barometer and some decided
stOrnas of wind and rain. Sarni:lung
up the outlook for May, we predict
that generally it will be a fine month
for pushing the work of the season.
