Considerable consternation is felt among the tnetnhers of the Independ- ent Order of Foresters at the possibil- ity that the Supreme Court may be asked to ratify an increase in rates and a resealing of charges to members dating prior to 1809 that will material- ly affect the great bulk of the 200,000 members. All members will be asked to pay a Lump sum enough to bring them up to date and then to pay the increased rate, or else continue at the old rate and have the face of their pol- icies reduced proportionately. it is said that the change is absolutely ne. cessary to keep the Order in existence. The change is the result of the Domin- ion Government proposing legislation that would force insurance companies to place themselves on a more solid foundation.

The affair was in the form of a canta- ta in which many ladies of town re- presented notablecharactersin history and competed for the crown of fame represented by an olive wreath. The crown ass won by Mrs. A. J. Ford who represented "A Mother". The stage of the Opera House was very prettily de.`o►•ated and seating accom- modation was arranged for the ladies after they had presented their claim to the crown before the Goddess re- presented by Mrs. K A. Fear. The hrilliantarray of varied costumes made a pleasing picture when all had taken their places. it world be impcsaible to describe the various characters re- presented, the dresses worn and the parts taken by the different people. suffice it to say that such emine.lt characters as Mary Queen of Scots, Queen Elizabeth, Helen of Troy, Madam Patti, Queen Isabella, Joan of Are. Madam Nordiea, Evangeline, Victoria of Germany, Florence Night- ingale, Grace Darling, "The Mother", Brittannia, Xantippe, Madam Melba, Mrs. Partington, Portia, Miss Canada., Barbara Frietchie.

A Regular Storm Period is central oa the 17th, covering the 15th to 20th. The Mercury disturbances culminate at this time, with full Moon on the 17th and Mean on the celestial equator on the 10th. A very marked seismic period is central on the 17th, covering three days before and after that date. On and touching Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. the 17th, 18th and 19th, no 'eotral to northern section should hr, surprised if one of the greatest snow blockades of the winter should strike it. The equinoctial full Moon on the celestial equator is fruitful of such results and this period, in all reasons, will not be an exception. A decided cold wave for the season will follow these storms and dominate the weather over most parte of the coun- try up to the next storm period. Death of Charles Harrison. The death occurred about midnight Wednesday, March 4th, of a highly respected aged resident of Exeter, Charles Harrison, aged 82 years, 4 months. Deceased bad enjoyed good health throughout the whole of his long life and was ill only four days of double pneumonia, coupled with heart weakness. Deceased was born in I.ockington, Yorkshire, Eng., and em- igrated to Canada when 23 years of age. He settled first in Beverly Town- ship, where he married Elizabeth Jon- es, who survives him. After remain- ing there 6 years he moved to Owen Sound, where he lived 20 years, then conning to Ushorne Township and lat- er to Rodgerville where he conducted a fruit garden. Fourteen years ago be retired to Exeter. Ile was a man of kindly nature, a faithful member of the James street church, a thorough Christian, honest and straightforward in every way. lie was a great reader and devoted much of bis later titne to a careful study of his bible. He was converted at a camp meeting when forty years of age. The sons and daughters surviving are Miss Annie Harrison of Kirkton. Mie. Samuel Holman of Crystal City, Mrs. George Rook of Exeter, Mrs. Wm. Ford of Ushnrne, Mrs. Richard Tapp of Vir- den. Mrs. Arthur Francis of Kirkton and Dr. J. W. Morison of Detroit, all of whom have our sincere sympathy. The funeral took place to the Exeter cemetery on Friday and was largely attended. The Scotch Concert. Miss Nannie Strachan, a Scotch las- sie, and called the modern Jennie Lind, and her sister, Miss Martha, as piano accompanist. and Mr. (Gavin Spence, the great Scotch tenor. gave a high- class entertainment, under the aus- pices of the Choir of the i'resbyterian Church, in the Opera House, on Mon- day evening. The house was filled to its fullest capacity. The program con- sisted of Scotch longe, interspersed with instructive and pleasing Scotch sto►it's, incidents of travel, etc. Mr. Spence has a very free and easy way of speaking and by a single gesture can produce mirth or make a hushed silence prevail. For two hours he held his audience, which was composed of the elete of the town and country, and who displayed their appreciation of I every number rendered by hearty ap- plause and encores. Mr. Spence also helped us to undersand the Scotch phrases, for he invariably preluded his I songs by an explanation in English of all the dialect words. One of his most ' popular songs is Wi' a ilundred Pipers an' a' an' a'," in which he gives a gond imitation of the drone of the bagpipes between the verses. The duet entitled " The ('rooked iiawbee," by Miss Strachan and Mr. Spence, was a most catchy and clever rendition and brought forth uproarious applause. Miss Strachan has a most remarkable, plaintive and sweet voice, which won her way into the hearts of the aud• ienre. Both were attired in full Scotch costume, and looked most attractive. Miss Martha Strachan, a vet talented Scotch lassie and musician, played the accompaniment* most aceeptahly. it may be said that it was one of the most refined, instructive and thor- oughly pleasing entertainments given in Exeter in a long time.
