It is an interesting astronomical fact
that on Good Friday, April 12th, the
heavenly bodies which gravitate
around the sun will be in exactly the
same position that they occupied in the
firmament on the day that Christ died
on the cross. It will be the first time
that such a thing has occurred for 1,862
years. Astronomers tell us that about
noon New York time, the moon will
pass before Viginis (Spica) and hide
that constellation for more than an
hour.
Now that Spring is opening up, the
local Board of Health, should insist that
the inspector make a personal inspec-
tion of every backyard in town. Not-
withstanding the fact that Exeter has
always been well looked after in this
respect, there is such an accumulation
of snow which will melt. The Sani-
tary Inspector should make his rounds
as early as possible and see that all re
fuse is raked in heaps before it reaches
the ground and thrown over the gar-
den before plowing commences.
A most lamentable and severe acci-
dent befel Mrs. Littlejohns, who has
been en a
ed with
Mrs. Ward at the
Molsons „Batk,
.on Friday last. It ap
pears she went out to feed the hens and
in so doing accidently slipped, and fell
on a piece of ice breaking her leg at
the thigh. She was at once taken to
the house and a surgeon sent for. It
is hoped that the result will not prove
fatal She was removed on• a stretcher
to the small residence owned by Mrs
Jane Smith, south of Mr. Jas. Sweet's
on Saturday evening and is now doing
as well as could be expected.
A birthday social is one of the latest
devices for raising money for church
societies. Each person who attends
the social is to expected
dropa cent in
i
the box for every birthday he has had.
If one is twenty years old it would cost
him twenty cents for admission. There
is no way by which anyone may die
cover your age, as all the money is
dropped into the box indiscrimately
and counted in the bulk. Where it
has been tried it is said to have been
highly satisfactory, as the sum of man
ey realized was considerably larger
than is made in the ordinary Social.
A petition has been presented to the
Ontario 'Legislature asking that coun-
ty councils be empowered to pass by-
laws prohibiting non-residents selling
foreign goods by sample or otherwise
without a license.
The sun in its northward journey
crossed the line on Wednesday (March
20) at 2.49 p. m., central standard time
when, astronomically speaking, spring
begins and equal day and night pre-
vailed over the euttre earth.
The revolution in modern business
methods is exemplified by the most ad-
vanced business houses adopting the
cash system of retailing. • The days
for long credit have passed away, and
the wide awake merchants are adopt-
ing the cash system with gratifying
success, both to their customers and
themselves.
The Monetary Times says:—Becom
ing tired of farming on the land his
goodmother gave him, near Goderich,
Harry Brown traded his real estate
about a year ago for a livery stable in
London, and carried on the business in
his wife's name, Letitia W. Brown. In
addition to the farm, a chattel mort-
gage for $3,700 was given, covering
his horses, carriages, etc. This is now
foreclosed and his stock seized.
Geo, Guy, sr. manager of Guy Bros.
minstrels, died recently at Springfield,
Mass. He was 75 years of age and a
native of London, Eng. He was at one
time compositor on a large paper there.
He also held a responsible position on
the New York Sun, but gave up the
position to go into the minstrel busi
ness. He leaves a widow and six child
ren, five sons and one daughter, all of
whom were associated with him in his
theatrical ventures. It wilt be remem-
bered that Mr. Guy has been here with
his troup on two or three occasions.
Before commencing his sermon last
Sunday morning the Rev. E, W. Hunt
spoke of the disastrous fire of Sunday
morning as follows: "I am sure I am
only expressing the general feeling of
this congregation when I say that we
all deeply regret the disaster that has
befallen our friends at Main Street.
They have always been noted as a
congregation for their zeal and energy,
and although the difficulties dividing
very great stillit is furtherest
us are re t rt crest
from the mind of the Church of Eng
land to wish ill to any work which has
for its object the amelioration of the
errors of the world. Rather it wishes
them God speed and we therefore trust
that they will soon be able to rise
Phoenix like from the ashes in which
they now are placed.
A _Harbinger of Spring.
The warm sun of the past week has
melted the snow on our sidewalks and
the small boy is once more seen at the
old game of marbles. It reteinds some
of the older heads of the time when
they had to "knuckle down at taw."
'south Ituron Agricultural Society.ty.
A meetilig of the South Huron Agri-
cultural Sceiety was held in Hensall
on Saturday last, There was a fair
attendance. Arrangements were made
for holding the annual spring show in
Brucefield on Friday, April 12th. A
meeting will be held on the same day
for the purpose of fixing the date for
the fall fair, at which meeting 'Hensall
and Exeter will have an opportunity of
bidding for it.

The Costs of Law.
A case aptly illustrating the law's
delays and costs has come'to light from
St. Thomas. The action of light Ram-
say vs. McLean was in reference to
a mortgage on a farm, The amount
in question originally was $312.50.
The case commenced at St. Thomas,
April 7, 1891, and since that time has
calmly meandered along from court to
court, being referred here and there for
examinations and hearings, until it
reached Chief justice Armour, who, in
reviewing the case. says it ought not
to have been a protracted one, and goes
on to say: "The costs, therefore, of this
litigation, without counting what, (if
any) the plaintiff's solicitor may charge
his client with as solicitor and client
costs, amount, as they at present stand,
to the enormous sum of $1,912,80.
That the costs of the litigation, 'so sim
pie in its nature and involving so small
an amount should aggregate so vast a
sum is simply appalling.
A Plucky Canadian.
The following is taken -from the Ar-
gus, published in Beaver Darn, Wis-
consin, and refers to a brother of Messrs.
T. W. and A. E. Scott of this town: "Dr.
J. L. Scott visited Detroit, Mich., last
week and while passing through Chica-
go was treated to a wild west demon-
stration. While in a bus going from
one depot to the other, one other man
being in the vehicle with him, he was
requested to look at a photograph and
casting his eyes from the picture on
paper to the living picture in front of
him he perceived a large revolver in
close proximity to his face. By one
dexterous and fierce blow the Doctor
knocked the weapon from . ,the man's
hand and grappled with him. With
lightning velocity the highwayman
drew another but the Doctor was bound
to go Scott free if possible and with his
life In his hands he made good use of
them,'and took the remaining part of
his arsenal from him and held him a
prisoner until he reached the depot
Where he turned the Culprit over to the
police, and continued on his journey."

Obituary.
Mrs. E. Hutchinson died on Sunday
morning, March 17th, at the home of
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. Meredith,
Parkhill. The suddenness of the de:
mise of this estimable young woman
has cast a gloom over the coma -unity.
Mrs. Hutchinson was born in Exeter on
May 29th, 1861, and was therefore at
the time of her death in her 34th year.
She came to Parkhill with her parents
in 1870. • In August 1884 she was mar-
ried to Mr. E. Hutchinson and the un-
ion was blessed with two bright and
lovely children, a girl 9 years old and
a boy 3 years old. The first two years
of their married life were spent in
Strathroy. After leaving there they
moved to Stratford, where they remain
ed one year and then located in Ailsa
Craig, which has been their home since.
Although the deceased had been an in-
tense sufferer for soine time the end
came suddenly, Until Thursday of
last week she was not considered dan-
gerously ill by the attending physician
and her friends. Mrs. Hutchiuson was
an affectionate and kind wife, mother,
daughter and sister and the bereaved
relatives have suffered an irreparable
loss. She was a member of the Metho-
dist church and a consistent christian.
The funeral was attended by a large
concourse of sorrowing friends and
heart -sore relatives. The remains were
interred in Carlisle Cemetery.—Park-
hill Gazette -Review.
It is with pride that we notice the re-
peated favorable references to our re
spected townsman, R. H. Collins, D. D.
G. M. of the Masonic fraternity. We
clip the following from last week's
Clinton New Era, "Friday evening
was a special one for Clinton Masons. It
was the occasion of the official visit of
R. H. Collins, of Exeter, who is the Dis-
trict Deputy Grand Master. The mem
begs of the lodge gave him a suitable
reception and showed themselves off to
good advantage throughout the whole
proceedings. Mr. Collins, who is a bril-
liant speaker, spoke of the pleasure he
had in being in Clinton Lodge, and
highly praised the work as done here,
A candidate was examined in the us,
nal way andMr. Collins paid a special
the excellence of thework,
trtbu`e to
i at he had never seen
by saying a
candidate acquit himself better, He al
so asked the lodge to hold here a lodge
of instruction sometime in April, and
the 16th was fixed upon, It is expect-
ed, aelordingly, that masonry will be
ably exemplified on that occasion. Af-
ter the regular work was completed re-
freshments were served and a pleasant
evening's entertainment Caine to an
end,
