Martin, of Exeter Mr. Thomas Prior has purchasep from Mr. John Southcott that fine house and 6,�, acres of land situated on Huron street, giving his residence onsame street aspart of the consideration. The Government has decided that the proposed new regulations with re g'in to fishing u Lake Huron and Labe St. Clair will not be put into force this season, to that fishermen will be able to ply their vocation under the old .regulations. Mr. Aubry Buswell, of G-. Chapman's tailoring establishment in this town, left on Monday for Galt where he has secured a situation. His, young friends here, especially of the Mthodist church and R. T. of T., wish him every success. St. Marys Argus. A meeting of several members of the James Street Methodist church was held ou Monday night to ascertain the feeling of the people and discuss the advisibility,of amalgamating with the Main Street Methodist church. The :::natter was discussed but nothing will be done, It is quite common now for farmers co have neatly printed stationery, let ter heads, envelopes, etc, the same as other business men.

During the recent severe storm, one of. Mr, John Speckman's pleasure boats which was moored near his Summer resort, Grand Bend, was carried out to lake and is probably on an annexation trip, The I0.0,F. attended divine service in the Town Hall on Sunday last and a goodly number turned out to hear an able discourse delivered by the Rey Wm. Martin. His remarks were ap preprints and the brethren listened to him with much interest Somebod•v has invented a machine for the purpose of killing murderers painlessly. It is astonishing that peo ple wiil persist in endeavoring. to make things nice and easy for brutal slayers of men. ` Hanging is good enough for the best murderer who ever lived. You make dun streets impossible:-- When mpossible:-When you drop a bit of paper in the streets. When you throw a newspa per in the street. When you drop fruit peel on the pavements. When you sweep rubbish from store, home or side- walk into the street. When you have a leaky ash barrel, When you fail to keep garbage and; ashes separate. This is a good one as told by the Glenbozo Gazette: One of our enter ',rising farmers sprung rather a good joke upon a machine agent a few days ag,o. Being somewhat behind in his payments he was coerced into signing a. chattel mortgage upon all the crops to be sown and grown upon a certain quarter section during 1893. The wily farmer neglected to informthe ma- chine agent that he purposed summer following the land in question. In the kindergarten schools the child ren have a little lunch every Friday. The teachers teach the little ones how to behave at table, and amongother things "a grace" is said. After that function was over the other day. a lit tie fellow looked up and said, "Please ma'm, my poppa does not say such a long grace as that." "Does he not?" said the teacher sweetly, " What does papa say ?" 'Please ma'am ho lifts the cover and says, ' Lord, what a din- ner.' " Now, gentlemen, there is the force of a careless example. The following statistical report is ta- ken from the assessment roll of the vil- lage of Exeter, which has justbeen completed by the town assessor. '1 he report is a favorable oneshowing an increase on the total assessment of $4593 oyer that of last year:—Total number of acres assessed, 1040 516 real property, $424,258,00; personal property 842,865,00; ,taxable income $2,650.00.; total assessment $469,773.00. Persons on roll 592; persons in families 1682; dogs 83, bitches 7; horses 144; sheep 13; hogs 80; cattle 189; children between 5 and 16, 425; children be- tween 7 and 13, 220; children between 16 and 21, 120. The Ontario crop prospects,published the other day, greatly overestimate the condition of the fall wheat, accord ing to the opinion of a gentleman who has recently travelled over the district of Ontario from Goderich and Sarnia to Wentworth, Brant and Norfolk count - les, including Oxford. Middlesex and Wellington. He says that in many sections whole fields are gain g sown with spring grain, and mach is being left that cannot possibly yield half a crop. In some cases the growth is vigorous. but the general appearance is not satisfactory,: Not only are the. fields spotted with winter killed places but even where the root is not destroy- ed the growth is feeble. With many years' experience as a farmer, his opinion is that the indications do not promise better than 75 per cent. of a crap instead of au average. rity and sterling worth. Annual it eetinx ofMech. institute. Pursuant to call of secretary the ail nual meeting of. Exeter Mechanics In stitute, was held at the Library Rooms on Tuesday evening. Minutes of last annual meeting were read and adopt. ed. The following are the officers el- ected for the ensuing year:— John Taylor, Pres.. Henry Smith, V. Pres.; Messrs J, Muir, J. McCallum, 11 E Huston, N. D. Hurdon, J. Allison, Dan. Dyer, T. A Brown, Rev, Martin and Dr. -Lute, Board of Directors. A Una/Anions Tote "of thanks was tender ed J. McCallum, for able and satisfact- ory manner in which he had filled the presidenfrs"chair during the past year, In giving up the chair to his successor ,M r McCallumthanked the Institute for the unanimous vote lin his usual char. acteristic style. While the Institute is at preseiit on a goodfinancial basis, itis very surprising to see only 150 names on the members' roll, instead of from' 500 to 800 considering a popula- tion of some 2000 to draw from. A luption,,;t, the effect that the secretary be paid $5. per year and that the re- secretary e-sec etary be given $10 for the ypast . two :years service, was carried..

Watch for Him.' , A chap is travelling through the country* trying to swindle parties with a contract for wire fences. He offers to give enough wire to fence a ten acre lot if the party will sign a con tract to take an agency for the wire. The contract is where the swindling comes in: If you read closely it turns out to be a promissory note for $15, af- ter a few words are erased with acid. )Cdr. Russell to Leave. We have learned from Rey. A. L, Russell that he and his family will leave out: midst in June next,not know ing yet where he will be stationed: During Mr. Russell's three year term as pastor of James St. Methodist church he has made -himself universally re' spected and we know that he leaves his present . congregation and many otter friends with both sorrow and re gret, as he has had a noble band of workers associated with him and es pecially so among the lady members of his charge. However wherever Mr Russell's lot may be cast they will find in him a man characterized of integ The "C. P. Clinton News Record.—The other. day a Roman Catholic and Protestant were conversing in a very friendly manner. The conversation drifted to society matters and Michigan was es pecially referred to by the R. C. as the veritable hot -bed of some new institu- tion or society which he claimed was turning his people out of place and power and position. The Protestant was naturally somewhat startled at the statement and asked for some particu- lars. "Well said the Catholic, "I can't give you muob-particulars. They call them the "C. P. R." and they say they. are to be found in every nook and cor- ner in the whole country. They are a powerful and bad lot of men." "Yes said the Protestant, "the 'C. P. P'. is a powerful organization, but I am not aware that it is parely Protestant There must be some mistake." And both parted without any definite under standing. Sad Death. Mary J. wife of Frederick Howard, of Parkhill, died in Clinton last Satur- day, aged 24 years and 11 months. The circumstances are of a very sad nature Mrs. Howard had not been in the best of health, and a couple of weeks ago left her home on a visit to Mrs. Ken- nedy, of the Central Hotel, and other. relatives in Clinton, in the hope that the change might prove . `beneficial: While at the Central' the ailment de- veloped into that dread disease, inflam- mation of the bowels, All that mull - cal aid could do was of no avail. Mr.. Howard was telegraphed for, but his wife died while he was on his way here. Mrs. Howard was formerly a Miss Jorden and she and Mr.: Howard were united in marriage about six years ago in Clinton. A little boy two years old is the only family. The fun- eral took place to the Clinton cemetery last Sunday and was largely attended considering the down pour of rain.-- Clinton ain.—Clinton News Record. Personal Mention. iMir.
