Death of a Former Exetertte.
One of Seaforth's oddest and best
known citizens, in the person of Mr
RObert Carmichael, passed away op
Sahb:ith evening hist about ftveo'clnek:
The 'event was not unexpected, as Mr.
Carmichael had boon in deelinlle
health for over a year, and for the past
three or four months had been closets
enuliued to the hoose. Ile had reached
the gond age of nearly 82 years. Mr-',
Carmichael was born in Scotland, but

He first settled in Montreal, after.,

thence
to Exeter where, for some time, he kept
what was known as the Francistow n

to Seaforth and has resided hero ever
sines. He leaves a large circle of
friends throughout the country, all of
whom will deeply regret to learn of
his death, although he lived over the
allotted three score and ten years His

House of Reface Committee .Meets.
The House of Refuge Committee
which consists of Warden McEwen,
Councillors A. Stewart, D. 11Iclnnes
and D. Patterson, and Clerk Lane, met
on Tuesday. The principal business of
the meeting was to investigate charges
made against the managers of undue
severity. It appears that while out
on furlough one of the inmates from
Exeter or neighborhood told a harrow-
ing tale, which his friends communi-
cated to the warden. The committee
probed into the matter as best they
could and there being nothing to sub-
stantiate the charges, they passed a
resolution fully exonerating Mr. and
Mrs. French. Another important
matter under consideration was what
to do with the inmates who are fit
subjects for an asylum. After con-
siderable discussion it was resolved
that Warden McEwen, Dr. Shaw and
Inspector Coats be a committee to se-
cure the removal of the objectionable,
because crasy, inmates to au asyltim.

ed to buy another cow, making four

Good i' ad" Writers.
An article ander this heading appear.
ed :in the Hensall Observer last week in
which the iridescent dream, who pre-
sides over the editorial function of that
metropolitan (7) journal, boastfully pro -
trays the abilities of some of the citi-
sens of that town, and very ungener-
ously belittles the merchants of Exeter.
s
The article wa entirely uncalled for,'.
and is no literary gem by any means.
The '° ad " writers inay be all he claims
for them, but we don't think there; is a
merchant in Exeter, with all their in-
ability (?) of " ad" writing, who would
think of cribbing a single word or
phrase from the columns of that blotted
sheet. We are quite willing that our un
friendly critic shall go on displaying
his exuberant, bombastic imaginations,
arid keep on telling the good qualities
of his people and town, which he has
so effusively done in the past, but it
would be just as well to keep his dirt
at home as his potato crop may run
short before spring, Ile puts us very
much in mind of the following story .
" There was Once a prominent man,
who had a very exalted opinion of his
own town• He died, and when he
reached his eternal hgtne he looked
about, him in much surprise, and said
to the attendant who had opened the
gate for him ' Really this does .great
credit to our town. I expected some
change in Heaven.'. The attendant
eyed the new comer a second, and then
remarked ' This isn't Heaven.' "
