A partial eclipse of the moon oc-ur- red on Wednesday night last and be- ing visible here waswitnessed by a large number of our citizens between the hours of ten and twelve o'clock, tbe interesting phenomenon lasting for about two hours. And it came to pass that after he had advertised his goods, there came unto him great multitudes from all the regions round about and did buy of him. And when his competitors saw it they marvelled among them- selves saying: "How be it that this man is busty while we loaf idle about our doors?' And he apake unto them: "In this fast age of push and rustle, it is easier for a camel to enter the eye of an needle than a man to flouriab without advertising." On Wednesday evening.

Listowell Council at an expense of $18 has provided a swimming hole for boys, by simply cleaning out a section of the river, and throwing a canvas screen across the bank to furnish a dressing room for the bathers and shut off the view from the town. This was made of canvas instead of boards in order that it could be remov- ed in the fall to save it from being car- ried away with the ice. All the boys in town are at perfect liberty to use the bathing place, with only three re- strictions: First, They must deettoy no property and must keep the place clean. Second, There must be no swimming on Sunday. Third, There must he no unseemly or disorderly conduct at any time. Might not this be done in Exeter. The recent decision of Justice Rid- dell that Division Court suits must be held in the county in which they arise, is an important one. The decision ie interesting in view of the tendency amongst judges now to prohibit the trials of actions on implement or simi- lar notes in the county of theplaintiff. Formerly practically all such actions were tried in tbeplaintiffecounty,often thus imposing heavy expense on the defendants to defend. Consequently a number of actions constantly went by default. Deeislons are becoming now comnion to compel the plaintiff to go to the county of the defendant.. That young man who thinks be is poor because he has no bank account, little understands the value of God's free gift of health and strength, little appreciates the fact that the brightest and best of the country are self-made, and come to the notice of the world from just such beginnings. Not by idly moaning that they are poor, bat by going carefully to work, perfecting themselves in their chosen pursuits and becoming so useful to those about them that their services are aiwey s in demand, whether it he on the pletfot m in the shop or in the kitchen, for all are► honorable alike. The happiest man in the land to -day is the successful farmer. Ile sits under his own vine and fig tree, undisturbed by the maddening noise of the great city. Banks fail, railroads go into the hands of receivers, booming towns col- lapse, all business stagnates. Bin the wise farmer can snap his finger at these things. Ile is the monarch of all he surveys on his broad acres. And the honesty of his boys and the purity of his girls is guarded against tempta- tions, and in them he is giving the county its best manhood and woman- hood. The farmer is to be envied, and, if he is not contented with his lot, he is lacking in wisdom. Rev. A. H. Going struck a new note in the discussion of the temperance question on Sunday evening when he discus=sed it from the standpoint of the "difficulties of the removal of the liquor trade". The first difficulty is found in the temperance people them- selves who are divided as to the prop. er course to take to bring about tem- perance reform. The second is the financial difficulty because of so much money being invested in the business, and also the matter of getting a rev- enue. in Ltd. connection be stated that he was opposed to; tib. principle of compensation. and alendid not be lieve the go1►etnment would loee a dollar of revenue after some radittst- ment. Thebird is the character of the men in the usineSs, and the fourth is the party spirit which tate, Aret place in even temperance workers mind*. Touching the present situation the government was more rigidly enforc ing the law and tnaking an effort to prohibit. Regarding local option be was In irtvor of it hart would rather see the district larger. He is aRainet the three -fifth clause hee*use he amid ` it was ow Iiritish.
