Bobier's office on Saturday last and entered into contract for the grow- ing of sugar beets. Mr. Bobier thinks the prospect exceedingly bright for the growing of a large quantity of them aroundhere this season and it is to be hoped that every farmer will take hold of the business and let the sugar coin pany see what cart be done in the way of beet growing ins -this part of the country and if it is a suecess there is not much doubt that Exeter will have a sugar factory of its own in the near future, It all depends on the interest the people around' hero take in the business whether we get a factory or not. The farmers are snaking a suc- cess of the business in other parts of the country and why not here, It is necessary that those who purpgse to enter into the business that they signi- fy their intention at once as all the seed has to be imported from ,Germany and it takes some time to get it here after the orders are given. 33 SCAi?ED UNHURT.— Mr. T. H. Mc- Callum attended a Convention of Royal Templars, held at. Oobourg, est week, and on his return was one of the passengers on the ill-fated train,' which was wrecked at Whitby, on Thursday morning last. Iltr. Mc- Callutn, in relating his experience says, he would not care to purdhase a railway ticket and go through the sane feelings. First a rumbling,then a sudden jolting, and in another and the car was recipitated to the feet, then with a tremendous jolt it - made another re -bound. Mr. McCal- lum totally escaped unhurt, and with the exception of a heavy cold con- tratced while endeavoring to extri- cate others from their painful posi- tion he seems none the worse for his perilous ride. It seems a marvellous ncident that out of so many passen- gers, who were hurled so many feet there was no loss of life. Among the number who were returning home were Mr. and Mrs. Watts, of Clinton, who escaped unhurt. RETIRING FROM BUSINESS, — We are sorry to learn that we are to lose one of our most highly esteemed citi- zens from the mercantile line, in the person of Mr. R. E. Pickard, who on Saturday last disposed of his stock in Exeter, to Messrs. Bennett & Snell. Mr. Pickard has not been in perfect health during the past two years, and it was deemed advisable by his medi- cal attendant to retire. from active business .life for at least a year or more. The firm retiring have been in business here, during the past thirty-one years, and have won the confidence and esteem of a very large circle of patrons, both in Exeter and surrounding country. The name of "Pickard" has been associated in the mercantile and other lines of busi- ness here,ever since its first existence, and much of the growing enterprise of she place may be attribu%d to their shrewd business energy during the more primitive days. Mr. Pickard has branch stores in Dashwood and Hensall, to which he will devote more of his time and energy. The new firm Messrs. Bennett & Snell have leased the premises from the R, Pickard Co., here, and will, about the 2nd week in March, take possession. They are both well known to the citizens of Exeter and surrounding country, and will command a very large share of patronage.

REV. IBL HICKS 33 02tECASTS FOR Menem—From about Tuesday the 3rd to Friday the 6th, there are reasons to expect all the changes and pheno- mena of a very decided storm period. A marked change to warmer and fall- ing barometer will lead rapidly into cloudiness, with general rain and thunder stormed in the south. Rains may also be expected in central and northern sections, but change to much colder will follow the rains,with heavy (squalls generally along the northern side of the country. The regular storm period,centeringon the 16th and extending from the 13th to the 20th will bring a time of exceedingly un- settled weather, with probabiliity of many heavy, and some dangerous storms. The indications point to two decided disturbances during this cen- tral period in March, one at the very beginning of the period., and the other about the 17th and 18th. The storms on and about the 18th will barely sub- side before the entrance to reactionary storm conditions ,due 21st and 22nd. This is at the centre of the Vernal euginox, and many equinoctial squalls with much unpleasant weather may safely be counted on. The last general storm period in March is central on the 27th, covering the 25th to 30th. This period is covered, also, by a Mer- cury perturbation. The moon is on the celestial equator on the 27th and at its new on the 28th, As we ap- proach these days it will turn phe- nomenally warm for . the season, the barometer will fail to low and danger- ous readings, and anywhere from Friday the 27th to Monday the 30th it will be wise to keep an eye on the gathering storm indications. Very warm, humid weather, with greatly depressed 'barometer, will presage violence and danger, especially in all central to northern.: darts of the country. Late snow and sleet storms will be most naturally northward. The month, in every probability, will reach its close in the midst of the cold wave at the end of these stornie.
