Seeding is about completed in this district, but the cold weather has hin- dered the growth considerably. The past ten days have been unusually cold for the month of May.

Word was received here on Saturday last of the death of Mrs. Young, relict of the late Thos. Young, aformer resi- dent of Kippen,and wellkn'own in and about Exeter. She died at the home of a son in Rossburn, Man.,a few days ago, in her 81st year. She had been sick only two weeks, having contract- ed a severe cold, which was followed by dropsy. These, combined with the infirmities of old age, caused her death. It will be remembered that she,in com- pany with her daughter-in-law,• Mrs. Thos. Young, were on a three months' vacation to Exeter in the spring of last year. More than a little disappointment was felt here on Saturday night by the officers and already recruited members of No. 6 Company, 33rd (Huron) Regi- ment of Canadian Volunteers, owing to the reported decision of the Domin- ion Government to leave the33rd Reg- iment at home this year. No doubt the men of some of tbe other compan- ies ompanies of the regiment felt a similar disap- pointment. The report proved to be untrue and has since been corrected. Every regiment in No. 1 district will be in attendance. The recruiting for No. 6 Company in this neighborhood is progressing most favorably and the officers have little doubt of tieing able to muster full company. Mr. and Mrs. W. L.

Windsor, of Stephen township, 'met with the misfortune of having a small -bone in his ankle broken. The accident was occasioned by his coming into violent contact with two or three boys in a scramble for the ball. In the scuffle the young lad was knocked down and fallen upon. When -it was found that he was hurt a stretcher was secured and he was given immediate medical attention, after which he was taken to the residence of Mr. John Elliott, Car- ling street, where he boarded while at- tending the High School Department here.

The law was made for the purpose of pro- tecting the bees, which at this time of year can depend only upon the blos- soms of the trees for their supply of honey. A prominent bee keeper in- formed us oh Tuesday t.hai many of bis bees had already been poisoned as a result of the spraying of trees by some person or persons in town. The past winter has been very hard on the little workers, from 50% to 75% having been killed, so that to lose the remain- ing hives would be a misfortune in- deed. Fruit growers should, therefore, keep within the law, and postpone their spraying until the blossoms have fallen. The effect of spraying upon the fruit is equally as good, if not bet- ter, when et-ter,-when the work is left until the blossom has disappeared. Death of Mrs. Leathorn. The death occurred in Loudon on Sunday, May 15th, of Mrs. Sarah Lea - thorn, beloved wife of Mr. John Lea - thorn, of 71 Cavendish street, former- ly proprietor of the Mansion, Exeter, and son of Mr. Robert Leathorn.

Mrs. Leathorn, who was in her 47th year, was the second daughter of the Late Thos. Havercroft.• It will be remem- bered that she was of a very kind disposition and her death will be a sad blow to the husband and children,who are John, Roy, and. Mable, all of Lon- don, and to whom the synrpa.thy of the community is extended. The fun- eral took place onl Wednesday after- noon to Mount Pleasant cemetery, the service being conducted by Rev. S.
