Traffic on all railroads was completely demor- alized and the roads generally were blockaded, snow drifts ranging from six to eight feet high. A worse storm has never been experienced in this part of the country before. It is an old "saying" that if the bears can see their shadow when they emerge from their lairs on the 2nd of February they will return to their win- ter quarters and remain for six weeks. Saturday week was the day, and the shadows must have been visible if the bears came out. So we may look for prolonged winter weather and a late spring. Notice is given that application will be made at the next session of the Leg- islature by Messrs. James R. McPherson F. Jarvis, H. Acres and R. R. Smith, for an act to incorporate the Delaware, Parkhill and Lobo Electric Railway Company which will operate between Delaware, Komoka, Poplar Hill, Fero Hill and Parkhill and thence to Port Frank our Lake Huron. It has been generally understood for some time that the Toronto Maii and Empire would go into amalgamation. Satisfactory arrangements have been arrived at between the two companies aid the official organ of the Govern- ment is now known as the Mail and Empire. The combination will be most pleasing to the reading public. The first paper under the new heading was issued on Thursday last. On Wednesday evening a horse be- longing to Mr, John Frayne, while left standing in front of Mr. H. Speck - man's hardware store untied, walked in on the sidewalk, and its feet being badly balled with snow, slipped and fell to the ground and in getting up its head went through the large plate glass, The damage will amount to at least $50 The horse's neck was slight- ly eut, This is another warning to parties leaving their horses untied, Owing to the hIsckaded state of the the roads Mr. B. Spicer, stage -driver between Exeter and St. Marys, has had Some trying experiences during the past few weeks. On Friday he left St, Marys at the usual time but was un able to get any further than Woodham, where he stabled the horse and started out on foot with the trail on his back for Elimville, reaching there after much difficulty and personal fatigue. On Monday he again tried to drive through to Exeter but Was compelled to return and again strike out on foot, arriving here about 11 o'clock. We pity the poor stage drivers as they have no enviable position these times, The Sarnia tunnel is a profitable en- terprise The total cost was $2,985,026; the annual earnings, $2:48.479; work- ing expenses, $101,186, leaving a bal- ance sufficient to pay 4i• per cent. in- terest on the total amount expended, and $22,278 besides for division among the eight stock holders.

The cold weather, which has contin- ued almost without interruption since the opening of the year, culminated in what was possibly the lowest dip the mercury has ever taken in this section on Tuesday night. At six o'clock on Wednesday morning the thermometer registered 28° below zero, the lowest point reached here for years. We are having a genuine old fashnned winter, with plenty of snow and keen, frosty weather. Exeter Council Proceedings. Council met in the Town Hall, Fri - day 15th inst. All members present.

Accompanying Mr. Richard Stewart's application for Uonstable for Mitchell was the following certificate, signed by himself: "This !s to certify that I have known Richard Stewart for the past 35 years, and can hear witness to his general good character, and if you give him the position for which he ap plies I know he will fill it well, as some years ago he licked Mitchell's biggest bully" The Sabbath School Convention, The Sabbath School Convention of the Methodists of the Exeter district was held in Crediton on the 6th inst, and although the thermometer regis- tered below zero. there was a fine turn out. Representatives from both English and German churches were on hand to welcome the strangers. The afternoon and evening sessions were well attend- ed. Rev. Geo. Jackson, chairman, of the Exeter district, presided. The first subject taken up was "Sunday School Entertainment." The Couven tion was in favor of entertainments for the children ;—an entertainmeut with moral and religious tendencies. How to inculcate the practice of liberality brought cut the old question, is it right to give a tenth? Some people are awfully afraid that they may make. a mistake and give the Lord too much. Rev. John' Holmes, Parkhill, drove a- gainst that bitter cold wind to be pres- ent and take his part in the program. Subject, "The successful teacher," Some what of a new departure was introduc- ed in this convention by the committee haviug Mr. H E Huston introduce the subject of "Hygiene." Mr. Huston ad- vocated two kinds of medicine, the one to bo rubbed on and the other to be tak- en. "Water and pure air." But, perhaps .the paper that was par excellent was prepaired by Miss Carrie Clicks, of Cen- tralia. "The Teacher and the Spiritual interest of the class." Mr. Wm Stevens, of Crediton, awakened great in:erest in the able manner in winch he handled the subject, "How to awakeuinterestin Bible study" After the question draw- er, Rev. H W. Locke took the children's Service in a sermonettc. 'There were about twenty bright little boys and girls present. Mr. Locke took a little text. "We love Hini because He first loved us." The little folks gave Mr. Locke the best of attention and it was appreciated by those older and out side of his little congregatio►i. In the absence of Rev. 7' B. Couplaucl Rev. Mr. Harper introduced "Church and School" and did it in a very able and euthusias• tie manner. The sub,joet assigned to Mr. Jas. Dclg•aty, "Danger and Safe guards of our boys" was the meet important in- troduced during the convention, Mr. lDelgaty in speaking of dangers, laid great stress upon selfishness. If the parent was selfish the child would soon learn to be selfish also. Mr. llelg,tty, said that some parents were too strict in their discipline at,d some too lax. He was a wise father who could strike a !nippy medium First attd foremost among the safeguards were Christian teachers in our Public Schools: --that sehnol trustees ought to be 'ashamed of thetriselvos.to allow a few paltry dollars to cause them to part with a teacher who has the moral' and Christian wel- fare of the children at heart, After :the mod vete of thanks,• the convention was brought 'to a close, • 111 0 IT Did you remember: • what .your wife said about calling at CA.RLINC BROS. and ordering some , of those PRINTS which 'are creatingso much and talk those B k t ole CHA1Vt RA'Y"S they are daisies, COMA • Get your choice before they are all gone.

During the early parr of the spring many people are induced tut; purchase seeds, and which, on account of poor quality, always bring great disappoint- ment and loss. Probably a few words to our readers at this season of the year might not be amiss. The ques- tion 16: "How can . a planter guard against receiving bad or inferior seeds, as often in appearance, size. etc„ the good and had seeds are alike?" The only answer to our question, that we know of, is: Buy from a good reliable seed merchant, who looks to the plan. ter's interest as well as his own. One seed firm in Toronto make a point 9f testing all varieties of seeds at their trial grounds before being sent out to their customers; this is the place we would recomtnend (Wm. Rennie, of To ronto. Can.) There may he others just as good, but we 'know all about. this firth. You will get just what you want every time,
