If northerly winds continue to pre-
vail it may take a couple of weeks yet
for navigation peoperly to open in the
St. Clair river. Thursday's Port
Huron Times says: "Lake Huron is
full of ice as far as can be seen, and
the winds are driving these down into
the St. Clair river, threatening to
form a great blockade. Even now
the ice is jammed heavily in the St.
Clair river near Algonao, and ex-
tends to the bottom.

attendance was good, the Vice-Presi-
aerie in the chair. After the opening
exercises, minutes read, roll call, etc.,
the Easter offering was received
amounting to $7.40, which was consid-
ered good, as there are several enve-
lopes yet to come in. A good program
was then rendered, consisting of read-
ings, recitations and singing, -after
which the Vice -President called upon
Mrs. Isaac Jewell, President of the
Bownianville Auxiliary, to speak which
she did in a very 'Pleasing manner,

a hue:1m being, neither omniscient or.
omnipresent. You often wonder why,
this thing or that thing was not pub;

paper has its favorites, and it has.
They are the people who are thought-

To Curb Profainity,
In St. Thomas the, Chief of Police
has instructed his men to arrest every
person Whom they hear using profane
language on the street, and the orders
will be strickly carried out. ,. A great
many complaints have been made
there about the ..rough language' used
by both men and boys as they pass
along the public- throughfares and
when congregated on the corners.
There is ample room for similar action
in Exeter.
For the erumbiers.
Whenever you find a man” finding
fault with the local paper, open it up
and ten to one he hasn't an advertise-
ment in it; five to 000 he never gave it
a, job of work; three to one he does not
take the paper; two to one that -if he is
a subscriber he is a delinquent, even
up, he never does anything that will
assist the publisher to run a good pa-
per, and forty to one if the paper is a
good one and full of life,Jae is the most
eager to see the paper when it comes
Take Warning.
The hoodlums, who have been mak-
ing a practice of throwing stones at
Mr. Wm. Baker's residence, Huron
street, at a late hour while on their
way home Sundayevenings, are here
by warned against its continuance. It
certainly is a mean, contemptible" trick
to respectable class of people and such
rowdyism should not he tolerated.
Strong suspicions rest on certain young
men living in Usborne and if the prac-
tice is continued immediate action will
be taken to curb it.
Death of Mrs.' Baskerville.
There died at the family residence,
Main Street, on Saturday last, Jane
Harding, beloved wife of Mr. Chris-
topher Baskerville, sr., at the age of
82 years. Old age and a general break-
ing up of the system was the cause of
death. The deceased moved here with
her husband. from Centralia a few
years ago :and during that time has
been much esteemed and respected.
The funeral took place. Tuesday to the
Exeter cemetery. She leaves to
mourn her demise a sorrowing hus-
band and three sons, who have ,the
sympathy of their many friends.

The Nev Post cards.
The new British postal card contains
photographs beautifully executed,with
purple and gold surroundings, of His
Majesty King Edward VII. and Queen
Alexandra with the Crown above, the
date of their birth and the marriage
end King, Edward's accession to the
throne are below. On the outer corner
of the card is the following extract
from the King's speech on his accesion:
"I Will with God's blessing, solemnly
work for the promotionof the great
Empire over which I have now been
called to reign. The whole effect is
very good. •
Postage and Coitage.
It isehoriglit probable that a new is-
sue will be made of stamps bearing the
lineage of King Edward. There is no
precedent, however, to guide the Cana-
dian authorities in a matter of this
kind. The late Queen succeeded to the
throne in 1837, but it was not unti11840
that the first postage stamp was adopt-
ed. Prior to the latter date, and, indeed,
until a much later period, a certain
fixed sum was paid for the carriage of
aletter, and the amount was stamped
hy the postmaster on the envelopes.
The likelihood is that a new issue of
stamps will be made almost immedi-
ately, but that they will not come into
general use until the bulk of the stamps
at present hi stock have been disposed
of. A new cpinage issue for Canada
may also be required, but it is not yet
possible to say what action will be tak-
en in this regard, as the point has not
yet been considered by the authorities.
• Compulsory Vaccination.
Now that small pox is spreading to
such an alarining extent throughout
Ontario every precaution will have to
be observed in preventing its most
rapid spread. We have only to go a
few m iles n orth—Cli n ton—f or example.
A young lady named McRoberts, of
London township, carried- the disease
there, leaving the rest of the family
home suffering from the same malady.
It is certainly getting too close for
comfort and the Indications are that a
general vaccination of all the scholars
will be enforced. Dr, Bryne, of Tor-
onto, the Provincial Medical Health
Officer, has urged the local Board of
Health to take some stich measures,
and has informed the Pablic School
Board that it is advisable for all Chil-
dren to be vaccinated. This is a matter
that certainly should be att encl ed to and
if parents are neglectful in their duties
it devolves upon the School Board to
take such action as to make it cum put -
eery. It hos been suggested that a
few weeks grace be given, however, as
it seems not unwise to postpone the
compulsory vaccination of the chil-
dren until the sir:Tuner holidays, so as
not to interrupt their studies which
are now approaching the climax of the
scholastic year—the annual examine, -
tions.
Too Close for Coodort
The following item from Clinton ap-
peared in the daily papers -last week,
and while every precaution is being
taken to prevent its spread it is a little
too close for comfort: --"Quite a stir
was created here yesterday when it
became known that a case of smallpox
41.$ in town. Miss McRoberts, of Lon-
don township, and a visitor at the res-
idence of Me. Peter Cantelon, mer-
chant, is the victim. The health offi-
cer, Dr. Shaw,
assisted by Dr. Graham
are, however, taking the greatest pre-
cautions to preveut further alarin. The
schools are closed until after Easter
and it is expected a big business will
be done in the vaccinating line for a
few days.
Annual Vestry Meeting:.
The arnual Vestry 111 eatin g of the
Trivia Memorial Church was held in
the Scheel Hall on Monday evening,
with therector, Rev. J. W. Ten Eyck,
in the chair. After the usual prelim-
inaries, in the absence of the 'Vestry
clerk, (Oape. Kemp,) Mr, Jos. Davis
filled the position pro tem. The min-
utes of previous meeting were read ilea
adopted, after which the annual finan-
cial statement was read by the warden,.
Me. John Knight. It showed' ree,eipts
of $15e7,72 'and disbursemente of $1472.-
33. He elso read reports from Ladies'
Guild, and other •mxilieries followed
by a report frem, Mr. D. Dyer, of the
Sunday School. all showing marked
progress. rMr. Thos. Hawkins and Mr.
John Knight were re-elected wardens
and Capt. George Kemp, Vestry clerk:
The following were elected sidesinen:
C. H. Sanders, C)apt. Kemp, E. Elliott,'
P. Rowcliffe, Jos. Davis, D. Dyer, D.
Mill and Thos. Case. Messrs. N. D.
Hnrdon and C.- H. Sanders were ap-
pointed auditors and the former as

vestry Was then adjourned to meet
again in two weeks hence.
Victory For The Sylvester And McCormick
• Machines.
The largest delivery of Agricultural
Implements ever made in Huron
County was that here on Thursday
last by Mr. Wesley Snell, the hustling
agent for the above companies. Early
in the day a large n 11.1 her of the stel-
wart farmers from the surrounding
district began to assemble in the town
and by mid-day the streets were pack-
ed with people and every hotel was
taxed to its utmost capacity to accom-
modate Me. Snell's patrons and friends
who had come to witness the monster
delivery. The two companies deliver-
ing 'the machines entertained their
customers and friends to dinner in the
several hotels, after which all repaired
to the G.T.R. depot where over seven-
ty-five wagons were loaded with ma-
chines of the Sylvester and the Mc-
Cormick make—the former drills and
cultivators and the latter binders,
mowers and rakes. At three p.m. the
wagons, carrying the machines form-
ed into line, headed by a carriege in
which was Mr. Geo. Rowan and Mr.
A. Manning, general agents for the
McCormick Company and Mr. J. R.
Sproule,general agent for the Sylvester
Brothers' Co.; thence came the Exeter
Band, followed by the immense pro-
cession of farmers' wagons loaded with
their jewelry," a striking testimony
of the esteem in which these compan-
ies' machines and their deservedly
popular agent is held. Noticeable in
the crowd was Mr. A. S. Deavitt,-who
acted as director of eeremonies, and
the able manner in which" he handled
the procession was sufficient evidence
that a better man for the position
could not be obtained. The proces-
sion, after parading the principal
streets, were formed in as compact a•
body as possible, when they were pho-
tographed by Mr. Jos. Senior, after
which it broke up, all leaving for their
respective homes, well pleased with
having taken part in one of the larg-
est deliveries ever made in Canada.
