There is a great deal of sickness in Exeter and vicinity, All our physicians are kept busy almost day and night, The Queen is suffering ereetly from Miatica, and can only walk a few feet at &time, and that with much difficulty. Mr. Zinger is still in possession of the Metropolitian Hotel, but he informs us that he is not certain as to whether he will remain or not. A Hensall correspondent says :—Mr. Manning, lately of Exeter, has decided $open a buteher shop here, makings the third. for our village. St. Marys' council paid for printing slid advertising last year $269.28. If itteost Exeter half of this amount .here would be some tall kicking. Mt E.

The teachers of the Exeter Public School have asked the ADVOCATE to request those parents who intend start- ing pupils to school this spring to send them on the filet Monday in April so that all beginners may start together. An advertisement has been aptly de- Veed as a vehicle which carries infor- mation to buyers and brings business to sellers. When a vehicle of this des eription is hitched to the ADVOCATE, regular trips may be safely reckoned on Mr. John Popplestone wishes us to correct the statement in last week's issue with reference to the origination oaths fire at his residence. He says it did not start from the ash pail as stated and that he has no knowledge whatever how it did start. A meeting of the Liberal Conserva- tive Association of Exeter, was held in the Town Hall, Monday evening, to elect delegates to attend a meeting at Hensall on Tuesday, Mare!' 28rd, for the purpose of selecting a candidate to teatest the cotniog local' election.

The first number of The Canadian Teacher, of date 'March 1st. is before us The new paper takes the place of The Educational Journal, which has for many years been the leading educa- tional paper of Canada It is edited by Mr G. E. Henderson and a staff of spec- ialists, and if we are to judge by the initial number, we would say that the editorial work is in competent hands Among the departments of the new eournal we notice the following: Edi- torial, Biographical Sketches, Special rapers, Current Events, Fifth Class, Eourth Claes, Third Class, and Primary. In all these departments there is much that is helpful to 'teachers; in fact. we gannet very well see how a live, ener- getic teacher can get along without 'The Canadian Teacher, Published stemi-monthly by The Educational Pub - Halting, Co., 11e. Richmond Street West, Toronto, Subscription 81.00 per year. Rev. Wm. Cochrane, D. D., Pastor of Bien Church, Brantford, has the follow- ing to say of that magnificent volume en the life and reign of Queen Victoria: —"I can very heartily commend it to ail who desire a comprehensive outline of tho great events that have oceured filtering the sixty years reign of our gracious Queen. Any one who peruses • the volume carefully, will arrive at a . thereugh understanding not only of the grand life of the Queen, but also of the Royal family, her influence in dip- ' lematic matters connected with her • vast possessions, and her personally • noble character. There are few von *meg that present so vividly (and in the compass of a single volume) the • blistery of England during the past sixty yeare, under the reign of a monarch, who. in every land, is beloved for her personal excellencies, and her efforts in behalf of civilization and Christian: lty the wide -world over." alr.

The following interestiug extracts from a letter received from a friend in Trail, B. 0, was given the Mitchell Advocate for publication : " I have no use for this country and will leave here to -morrow. I do not know just where I will go. This country is very much overrated. It is alright for a man with a pocket full of money. 110 could get along, but a man without means has no business here, Rossland has 3,000 inhabitants, and the streets are daily lined with idle. men, Hund- reds of them wander about looking for work, and cannot get it. They are here from all over the world, and can- not get out unless they wall: out, and the walking is very bad here through the mountains. Capitalists come to Rossland and rent everything they can lay hands on, and afterwards re -rent them at an increase, in many cases of from $50 to $100 a month. A man told me to day that he had rented a store for $400 per month, and re -rented it an hour afterwards for $500 per month. Oysters, a good large plate, are sold at $2.00 a plate. It costs $3.00 per week where I am for board, with two and three piled in one bed. There is no regard for 'Sunday in Rossland. Stores all wide op el, teams drawing their loads through t he streets, mills running the same as on week days, hotels, har•rooms and gambling saloous all wide open and running in full blast Pine wood sells for $7.50 per cord here, and green at that, while tamarac brings 88 50 per cord. For sawing' same 81.75 per cord is charged. Rossland is 4,000 feet .above sea level For tgoodness sake, tell the boys not to be foolish enough to come out here." Stoves! Stoves!! stoves!!!
