Narrowly 111scapecl Death.
On Saturday last an accident hap-
pened to James and Samuel Sanders,
sour of the lace Jame; Sanders, of Step-
hen, which might have ended their
lives. It seems they wore drawing
manure, and while driying on the road
Sam. missed his footing and in trying
to save himself from a heavy fall
caught hold of his brother's coat,. eaus
ing both to fall to the groui.d, the
front wheel strilc.ing the former With
terrible force on the back of the head.,
rendering him unconscious and inflict-
ing a terrible wound on the scalp,
while the latter received slight injur-
ies by two of the wheels passing over
his arm and wrist. It is wonderful
that both were not killed. One thing
is certain, if the former's head had
been two inches farther- under .the
wheel, death would have been the con
sequence. .He was then taken to a
doctor and several stitches were neves
sary to clone up the wound,

Methodist church, Exeter, last Monday
afternoon, with the Rev: W. McDonagh
in the chair, After the reading of the
minutes of the last meeting, arrange-
ments were made for the: June meet-
ing. •'Rev. W H. Butt was appointed

labor and Rev. W. Martin to give a
sermon from Luke 16'to 25. A part of
a sermon in 1st Tim 3 to 16 was given
by the Rey. Mr. Fletcher with , his us-
ual ability. Paul was posted in classi-
cal lore and understood the meaning of
the word "mystery", but the uncover -
ing of one mystery only opened up to
us another. The mystery of godliness
was the central part of christianity
which was the constitution of Christ's
person and offices. A friendly discus-
sion took place on the subject and Mr.
Fletcher promised to give the balance
at the next meeting which is to be
held in the James Street ` Methodist
church on the 7th of May; The meet-
ing closed with the benediction by the
Rev. Mr. Fletcher. -

While there is much to be admired
about this spring's styles iu ladies'
headwear, the difference which im-
pressed us mostly between the shapes
of 1893 and 1894 is, that last year the
crowns were above the brims while
this spring the .brim is above the
crown. (This, of course, is a man's
way of telling it.) We will now try

choice, if not larger. than previous.
The "Gainsboro." made up with os-
preys and velvet trimmings seems a
favorite here Seyeral very beautiful
hats trimmed for mourning costume
are to be seen on the display tables,
also some very pretty little turbans
and toeues. Velvet, goperrin lace, muss
flowers, tips and yellow roses, while col-
ors of black, green, brown and yellow
seems to be the prevailing styles.
R. PICirARD & SON.
About two weeks ago, says . the
Walkerton Telescope, a little colony of
foreigners, saki to be Syrians, located
in Walkerton. There aie•20 or 30 of
them: altogteher, men. women ' and
children, and it required a good deal
Of house room to accommodate them.
They were successful in getting a
couple of double houses, Quite close,`to-
gether. They paid their rent in ad-
vance, conducted themselves hi an or-
derly manner, went quietly about their
work, and gave evidence of becoming
quite a valuable addition to our popu-
lation. Their occupation is that . of
peddling and they hold licenses for
the counties of bath Grey and Bruce.
They talk English readily and are not
wanting in intelligence. When at
home they live about a mile or two
from Jerusalem. But they are not
Jews. They are the Bedouins . of the
desert, the true descendants of Ishmael.
The other night some mischevious lads
commenced throwing stones at their
doors and otherwise molesting the new
comers, But the Syrians were game,
and armed with knives made a rush at
their assailants, who took to their heels
ran till scant o' breath and then took
shelter in a vacant house. They ' wilI
think twice before playing a loose
game with the Bedouins again.
A new iron bridge is soon to be
erected over the river at Grand Bend,
The material arrived at. Parkhill last
eek.
This year this firm has their milli
nery department in their new store on
the east side of Main street. The show
room is a very nice one indeed and
Miss Davis, of Aylmer, their new milli-
ner, is in charge We congratulate
Pickard & Son on their convenient
premises and well arranged stock all
t�trough. The latest styles shown here
are the oblong placques, Leghorns
trimmed in blue, 'flowers and tips, bon-
nets of fancy straw, trimmed with
green ribbons and fiowers. Black and
tan are leading colors in lace and rib-
bon trimmings.
MRS. SPICER.
If pleasant and obliging manners,
will secure custom, Mrs. Spicer will
certainly have her share in the millin-
ery business this spring. She informed
us that her , millinery opening . and
business, is better this year than in the
past three or four years. Miss Wil-
liams, of Wyoming, is in ch}trge. The
show rooms have undergone some im-
provement which gives more room for
display instead of one long table along
the centre, wall tables have been placed
all around the room, Some very pret-
ty hats are here.displayed, Blue brown
green and fawn colors, while violets,
red roses, fuschia flowers and jets are
in demand for choice trimmings.
