Opening.
Als,•r Tun Easartr•ss,--.-The crowds hat
flooded the dry goods establishment of
Richard Pickard & Sons, On Elide!" last
were mueh delighted with the grand ex-
init. It was, witlhuut doubt, the most
sneeessul opening that the house has ever
experienced. About two o'clock in the
afternoon crowds commenced to throng
tht establishment. and until night there
continued to be largo numbers in attend-
anee. _;very department was decorated
in elaborate style, and with elegant taste..
The most attractive part of the building,
especially to 1110 ladies. was the beautifully
decorated millinery show rooms, which
are on the first floor, and by tar the best
equipped in town. The department is
under the managoment of Miss Darlinr,
and the tables lining the large show rooms
were loaded down with the beautifully
trimmed hats and bonnets of the very
latest patterns. Tho display has never
been equalled by any other house. The
styles this season are very unique ; the
most fashionable shapes in bonnets being
the Clcopatrea and the Venice, and the
correct shapes in hats, the Amoret, Mal
prop and Astolfo. More ornaments will
be worn this season than in previous years.
The leading shades this season will be
cornflower blue, all shades of yellow, liUy
green,pearl grey and anemone and lavender
dahalia will also be worn ; the colors being
largely taken from the natural flowers.
Tho mushroom ehape and manilla hats
will lead the style in children's wear. The
stock of dress goods, silks, pasasols, etc.,
which the firm is showing this season is
very complete, and by importingtheir own
goods direct they save middlemen's profits,
and can show newer styles and sell at
lower prices than any other horse in town.

BRIEFS—Messrs. Job and William
Banes and Miss Annie Banes, of Indi-
ana, Jas D Banes, of Chicago, Thos
Banes and Mrs Sprague, of the Ameri-
can Soo, and Mr John E. Banes, of
Toronto ; children of Mr and Mrs Wm
Banes are at present in Crediton on a
visit to their mother who is not expected
to recover from her illness. -Mrs (Rev)
Redmond was suddenly taken sick on
Saturday and is quite seriously ill.—In
a letter received from Mrs Samuel Wood
of Waitsburgh, Washington State, to a
lady friend here, she writes that they
have very fine weather there, farmers
have done their spring seeding long ago
and the trees are out in leaf. Winter
lasts only about two months there, and
the thermometer did not register below
zero, Even with all the nice weather and
the beautiful scenery they have out
there Mrs W thinks Ontario is ahead of
that country in a great many respects.
—A large number of ministers and
visitors have arrived for the 'conference
and the proceedings began on Tuesday
and Wednesday; candidates for the
ministry were examined. On Tuesday
evg Rev Mr Hauch, of Berlin, preached
a very instructive sermon, and on Wed-
nesdayevening Rev Mr Litt, of Cayuga,
did likewise. To day the Conference
proper begins and it is expected Bishop
Bowman, will be in attendance.—On
Monday evening last the Royal Tem-
plars of Temperance gave a cdhcert in
the town hall. The program consisted
chiefly of solos and recitations and ad-
dresses by the Revs. Allen and Grey,
the attendance was very good. A large
number of the Hensall Lodge were
down and took an active part in the
program for which rho Crediton Lodge
feel greatly indebted to them.
The Government reports indicate that
there has not been much change in the con..
dition of the crops during the past week,
although the wheat began to pick up a
little under the iufluence of the warm
weather. The rain has taken most of
the frost out and settled the ground in fair
shape. Fruit prospects are very good,
and the cold weather is considered benefi•'
cial as tending to keep back the buds
until after the late frosts have occurred.,
The season is now late, and at present has
not allowed. much progress ' in growing
crops, but they have not been injured to
any great extent as far as reported.
