Clarke took advantage of his tem- porary visit to Exeter, to present him with a purse of money as an expression of their appreciation of his long and faithful services as a worker in the James street Methodist Sunday School. The presentationwas made on Wednes- day s - day evening, at the residence of Jas. Pickard, Esq. Whilst the social and business circles of Exeter have lost one of their most highly valued mem- bers, James-st. Methodist church, spec- ially sustains the loss of one of its most highly esteemed members, and most successful and energetic workers. —It will be gratifying to our readers to know that the History of British Columbia, by Hubert Howe Bancroft, until recently sold only with the com- plete set of this author's works in 89 volumes, can now be obtained separate- ly, complete in one volume. It is per- haps one of the most difficult fields in literature, to take what was so lately a vast wilderness, with only the crudest material to work with, and make of it a complete and finished narrative, as Mr. Bancroft has done, interwaving with the more substantial, political and industrial developments those pleas ing incidents and romantic episodes connected with the wild and roving life' here encountered. Mr. Bancroft's pictures, in this volume, are drawn Iargely from life. Visiting the country in person he came into close contact with the old retired officers of Hudson's Bay Company, most of whom have now passed away. From their experiences he not only obtained a large mass of information which otherwise .,would havea se p s d out of existence, but he was enabled to, fill his work -with vivid life and detail which in no other way could have e l b enp OSSiI>le. Besides be B si l - ing a masterpiece of historical olrcal investi- gation, it is full of that thrilling inter- est which attaches to the subjugation andttl: se eme,at of wild i l cofat is. w u' . h here have not their parallel in history.

Put some salt, a small handful, over the roots after cutting and they will not trouble the second time. If burdock is thick, cut, rake off the stocks and sow salt, on the roots. The Crops. Fall wheat is being cut by the far- mers in this vicinity. It is thought that the yield will not be as good as an ticipated. Rust has hurt the crop some- what. Barley and oats promise an abundant yield. In some places the barley is almost all cut. The apple crop will be almost e t a total failure ow- ing to the frost. One man told a re- porter that in a daly's drive through the country lately he had noticed but one tree bearing fruit. Obituary Scarcely a week passes, but what we are called upon to record the death of. some of our residents. It becomes our sad duty to record the death of Mahala beloved wife of John Veal which sad and melancholy event occured on Sun- day last, at the acre of of 45 years and days, Sheha 6 d been afflicted Sfor some years past with that dread disease con- sumption, and the angel' of death did not come unexpected.

The IAifferenee. An editor works 365,E days per year to get out 52 issues of a paper; that's labor, Once in a while somebody pays hila a year's subscription; that's capital. .And once in a while some son of a gun of a deadbeat takes the paper for a year or two and vanishes without pay- ing for in; that's auarehy, But later on Justice will overtake the last named creature, for there is place where he will get his deserts.

Many fere niers in this vicinity have old barley on hand and they will make a serious mis- take. The mixture will not malt and will not therefore find a. market. Ameri- can can grain buyers detect the mixture at once and reject it and the local buyers will be compelled to do the saltie, Chir Holiday H atearsion Every arangement bas been owlet ed for the monster excursion to St, Clair Aliclt,, on Thursday August 1511x, The excursion will go by rail to Sarnia,thence by boat down the river to St..

Information was received in thedepart- ment of the Minister of Agriculture only last week and Dr. P. Bryce was immediately sent to investigate. The Department are now considering what steps the law will allow them to take towards its eradication and it is prob. able that a commission will be appoint- ed to take evidence underl oath.. .A1 ready about 70 horses have bees aal liet- ed with one fatality. The disease is thought tooha ve been br tee Are t the district by imported stock. The Wheat Attacked, Just as the wheat began to ripen in this section there appeared in many fields a small green insect that created great 'havoc until the kernel apparently got firm enough to resist its attacks. Fortunately, as the ripening adveneed the grain became too hard for the in- sects to devour, so the loss has not been Ter!, great, but had its ravages b a week or two earlier the effect even the yield would have been most dis- astrous. Visitation seems to have been' pretty wide -spread in this part of On- tario. Many farmers in this section have begun to harvest their wheat and the crop promises to be an average one. Food for fattening Poultry. The following, taken from the Scien- tific American for August,1S6u,is pub- lished by request of an old chicken fancier, who recommends it as a first- class recipe: ---Tale cheapest and most advantageous food to use for fattening every description of poultry is ;round oats. They must not be confounded with oatmeal, or with ordinary ground oats. The whole of the grain is ground to a fine powder; nothing of any kind is taken from it. When properly- ground roperly ground one bushel of the meal will. more effectually fatten poultry than a bushel and a half of any other meal. The greatest point in fat- tening poultry is to feed at daybreak. Exeter vs Clinton. On Friday last our cricket club went to Clinton, and played a very friendly game with the 'Victoria' club of that place. Exeter won the toss and sent the home team to bat. A return match will he played some time during this month:-- The following is the score showing a result of 46 -runs in favor of Clinton: great Summer Sale tPIOKARD'S.
