MATienudeIAr•---A few evenings ago the Grand Uilion Hotel, Clinton, was the scene of a pleasant affair, it being the marriage of Mr. Chas McGregor, of Kinburn, to Miss MinnieSpooner, daughter of Mr. Chas. Spouner, proprie tor of the Grated Union The cdremony took place at 8 o'clock and was per- formed by Rev. Mr. Craig, 'after. which the invited 'guests, of whom there were many, sat ckown to a bountiful repast. The hotel boarders were all present anclamong then were Prof. Griffin and Prof, Hill, lecturer on Vaneover and the C. P. R' The' presents were very numerous, among them being a handsome easy chair and rocker, Pres ented to the bride.by,theboarders. The bride was assisted by '1Vlkss 17.irinieD'i n- ison, of Mitehell, and 11Ir. John Living stown,of Seaforth, aeted as best man Mr. McGregor Was formerly a student with Dr. Sweet, V.

We wish them a life of happiness and pros- perity. • Daring the beginning ' of 'the `Week the clouds fairly deluged. this village' and surrounding country with such a doavnpour of water that small creeks were transformed into rushing rivers, and many cellars throughout the burg had three and some nearly four feet of water in them.

The Masonic Lodge Delta Was brok- en into a few eights ago. The regalia and warrant were stolen. The regalia was subsequently found hanging about the necks of cattle and horses ie the neighborhood.

' Mr, Alfred McTaggart, London Road; was stricken last week with an attack of bilionsness which caused him to be confined to his bed for several days, The disease bas somewhat abated and he is now on a fair way to recovery. The Odd Fellows of Exeter have gone to a great expense to giye the people of this vicinity one of the very best eonterts that has ever been givers here. For particulars see posters. Don't miss it, for it is one opportunity of a lifetime. a'he anniversary eerrnons in cont,eet, ion with the James Street Methodist church will lie held about the 20th of December, when the Rev. Mr. Boyd, of London, is expected• to be present and deliver able addresses, and a tea will also be served in the basement the following Monday. While Mr. George Eacrett, son of M. Eacrett, was engaged in painting plows at the Verity Foundry on Tues- day, he met with a painful accident by tripping and falling on a plow in which the head of a bolt cause in contact with his upper lip, cutring a hole com- pletely through and bruising the Hp badly. Mr. Alex. McPherson. Taxidermist;. received from Clinton on Tuesday ey- ening last a large bird,bearing a some what close resemblance to that of air owl, only that its plumage is more beautiful, being much like that of a golden pheasant. It is a rare bird and is a puzzler forlour taxidermist to as - cert ain the naive. There is a counterfeit 81 Dominion Bank note in circulation. The official description of the note says: -"The paper is poor: and the printing inferior, while the portrait of Lady Dubberin in the centre is wretchedly executed. The scroll work, too, is bad; and the space left for the signature of the. Deputy Minister of Finance is blank." As there has been a great increase in the business of the Canada Cornpany Mr.. John Spackman will not give up his agency until the new year. Mr. Spackman states that he has tran- sacted more business during this fall than at any other time in which he, has been engaged by the company. This speaks well for hien and shows that it is now they are beginning to appret:i ate his services. The work of threshing is now nearly completed in all sections of the count ry. Comparatively, little marketing has, however, yet been done, probably not inor:e..than one-third of the avail able crop .having been disposed of. Wheat is moving very slowly; as many are holding it in anticipation of high- er prices. Very little barley has. been Marketed, and as the detnancl is not brisk and prices are low, many intend to use it for feed. Another entrance was effected through the back door of the sr,olc of Mr. Richard Pickard and Son last week but nothing of`much value is thiseinge. The plan for gaining admission was by boring with an augur: through the door so as to allow the hand to be in- serted -to pull back the bolt. In fact, the deed looks to have been done by the sane parties who were operating throtiglt the yitla e some time a go. As there was.no money to be found they did not receive a great remuneration for their trouble, only afee small arti•i• Cies being missed. On Tuesday evening last a large number of guests assembled at the Mansion House fer the purpose of spending a' few hours in pleasure and pastime. Mr. Michaeltree, his two sons daughter, of London, were, present and furnished all that was necessary to make the evening enjoyable. Several comic and sentimental songs were sung by them and all seemed highly pleased with the inanrier itt wltieh they acquitted themselves. "Blind Tommy" furnished some choice music on the violin and organ, which was a credit to himself,and much appreciated by the company. • On the 22nd inst, another of Exeter's citizens passed peacefully away to that land of rest, from whence no traveller ever returns.` After an illness of not long duration Mr. RiTehaed Herren was called away, being aged 00: years, 6 months and 16 days', Deceased was an old resident of this sectio. of country, having striven in the hardships of ear. . 1 sic a �omfolta ler, 1 'pioneer life tom cc. ,y home,and haying been r w ardeclfor his labors Was enjoying the pleasures at the time of.his death, Et leaves behind to mourn the Cosa a wife and child, who have the Sy nipathy of the comrnunitq in their sad bereavement, The ternaries were interred in the Elim vilie cemetery on Tuesday afternoon, but owing to the inelereencv of the weather• was not raise several feet in a short time and fears of the dam going away were en- tertained at one time, but the torrent has continued to run on in its wild car- reer and nothing of a serious nature has happened. The small creek which runs through the village begs.n to rise in the early morn, but it was not until about three o'clock in ;he afternoon that it threatened to do any damage, the mouth of the arch which is built under the main street became blocked' with square timber, causing the water to raise several feet in a short space of time. The flood then began to poar into the cellars of the dwellings situat eel along its course, some of them hav- ing as much as three feet: of muddy water in thein. Several small bridges were shifted from their bearings and carried a short distance down the stream when they became entangled with some other obstacle and were al- lowed to remain. In the country much damage has been done by the storm in carrying away bridges and fences, the wind having takena hand in the dis traction, leve pled • the fences to the ground. Up to the present no loss - of !ife has been. reported and the weather has now changed, to a snow storm. Lathes. Buy your millinery at Eicher]. Piek- and and Son's during Sale and save money.
