Death. of Richard Nanning, Esq, One after another the pioneers are departing from among us, leaving only the lustre of their untaruished names, and the examples of their useful and sterling lives for the guidance and emulation of the younger generation. This week it is our sad duty to pen the death of Richard Manning, Esq., who departed this life on Tuesday last at the age of 71. years and 8 months. He numbered his friends as many, while his gentle, kind-hearted nature won for him the good will of hundreds of acquaintances. Bern in Devonshire, England, October let, 1824, he came to Canada at the age of seventeen years and settled with his parents near Port Hope. In 1847 he married Harriet Trick, who died March 7th, 1895. In 1853 he moved to Exeter where he re- sided until 1860 when he moved on the farm in the first concession of Stephen, where he lived until return ing to Exeter about 20 years ago. Shortly before leaving the farm he re- ceived a sunstroke which resulted in paralysis and from which he never re- covered. For about eight years he has suffered intensely and the last few years has been almost wholly helpless. But possessed of a brave spirit he bore his affliction manfully and after many a season of indisposition he always turn- ed the bright side out. Deceased never took a very active part in public or municipal affairs but throughout life he evinced an intelligent interest in' all questions affecting the public good. He was a life long Reformer and was a consistent member of the Methodist church. In c ,unsel or advice he al- ways evinced the soberist wisdom and was a kind father and an affectionate husband. He leaves a grown up fam• ily of five sortsand one daughter— William Charles, of Cleveland; Luther, in Manitoba, Wilber, of ,Clinton, Mrs. George Weir, of Bothwell, and John and Russell, of this place. His funeral will take place from his late residence to the Exeter cemetery on Saturday. Wool Wanted. -40000 pounds. Highest cash prices paid for wool at the Exeter Woollen Mills. We want the wool and will pay the price. The wild plum blossomed this season on the 24th April—the earliest in 43 years, with the exception of 1886, when it blossomed'on the same day in April. This is 14 days earlier than the aver- age of 43 years, and 24 days earlier than the latest, which was on the 19th of May 1873. From the superabundance of water applied to keep down the dust on Main Street during the past few days it is quite apparent there is "a new hand at the bellows." It would not have surpised us had the complaint been vice -versa judging from the amount of pay he receives for the job.
