Seven Innings were played and resulted in favor of Exeter by a score of 13 to 10 and one innings to spare.

The Independent Order of Foresters attended Divine Service in the Main - street Methodist church on Sunday evening ]ast. Some sixty of the Breth- ern including a number from Crediton were present. A very instructive dis- course was delivered by the pastor. The order is in a very flourishing con- dition in this village, and new mem- bers are being added nightly. On Saturday last the butter and egg market was very lively. A number of the merchants were present and the price of eggs advanced to 14 cts. per dozen, and butter to 14 cts. per it,. All the farmers should avail themselves of the opportunity to visit this market on Saturday morning between the hours of 7 a. m. and 1 p. m. and secure the highest cash and trade prices for their produce. Pursuant to a proclamation issued by the Supreme Court, the members of the I. 0. F. society of this village at- tended divine worship on Sabbath last at 6.30 p. m., in the Main-st. Methodist church, A large number of Creclitoin brethren also attended and the two Courts made a strong turn -out, Rev. Jasper Wilson, M.

Basing his remarks on James I, 27, "Pure religion, and undefiled, before God and the Father, is this, To visit the father- less and widows in their affliction, and to keen himself unspotted from the world."

Obituary It is again our sad dutytoannounce the cleatil of another victim of consump- tion,, in the person of Rachael, beloved wife of Mr. Issac Handford, which „ sad and rnelancholy event occured onMon- day Last, at the early age of 33 years and 5 months. Deceased has been ail- ing. for over a year 'past and was a great sufferer during that time and her death was not in any way unexpected. She was a very amiable lady and was much respected by all. She was a daughter o'f Mr„I and Mrs. John 'Brode- rick of the township of Hay, and vas widely known throughout that town- ship, She leaves behind to mourn her lost, a -sorrowing husband and a fam- ily of six children, the eldest tieing bout twelve and the youngest aboiut three ,years. The funeral took ,place yesterday to the Exeter Cetneterv, and the large cortege which followed the m reains shows the :i i„h esteem in whiclt she was held by all. The stir viving friends lu:tz'eevert+ aympathv to their` hours of trial and aiiiictiorn. The Weather and Crops. The line weather has had the :effect of strengthening up the crops, which began to look a good deal theworse for so much continued heavy rains. The pea crop was nearly ruined, still, even yet, if the weather continues fine and dry, the crops will strengthen up. The fall wheat is much better than wasexpected at the opening of spring, and is shooting out. The hay crop is heavy and is likely to bo the largest yield that we have had for years in these parts. Thelruit crops look ell , and there is likely to be a largo yield. Accident, Yesterday= Mr. Alex. Duncan, merch- ant at Farquhar, :drove to Exeter stat- ion tation for the purpose of •.taking home with him a load of goods which was composed of boxes and barrels. After getting his load he left for home and when driving through the north end of the village the horse took'fright and ran away, throwing Mr. Duncan out. He hung to the lines and was dragged a considerable distance be- fore lie let go his hold and when pick- ed up it was found that one of his ears was nearly: torn off and his face con•: siderably scratched. Medical aid was sent for and the wounds dressed. He was badly shaken up. Canada's Great Voir. The receipt of a copy of the Prize List for this year's Toronto Industrial Exhibition, which is to be held from he 8th to the 20th of September next, treminds us that the fair season is again fast approaching. The Prize List shows the addition of many new classes and a large increase in the amount offered as premiums. Toronto offers many at- tractions to visitors during the season, but the greatest of all is its annual Ex- hibition, which this year promises to be greater and better than ever. A copy of the Prize List can be obtained by any of our readers,who may desire one, by dropping a post card to MR. H. J. HILL, the Secretary, at Toronto. The M -r, P. Gets' Left. On Tuesday last Mr. A. Bishop M. P P. was going west, and was met a short distance west of Crediton by a certain gentleman, who by the way asked the M. P. P. where he was going: Mr. Bis- hop replied that he was going to the Catholic picnic at Mount Carmel. He was immediately informed that the pic- nic was the next day (Wednesday), whereupon the M. P. P. turned around and drove for home at a rapid rate,but forgot to go through any of the towns or villages on his way back. Mr. Bis- hop's memory is failing him since his majority has been narrowed down, and a protest staring him in the face. No doubt a number will discredit this, but we assure all that our imformation was from the reliable gentleman who jog- ged the memory of the M. P. P. 'Was it Suicidal Intent A gentleman who accompanied the Clinton Baseball club here yesterday afternoon, jumped from one of the first story windows of the Central Hotel, a distance of nearly twenty feet, about 6.30 o'clock the same evening. After he dropped he did not speak for a few seconds, and thein commenced walking around, as though he was not injured badly He was under the influence of whiskey or sonie other alcoholic stimu- lant at the time and had been so all the afternoon. We understand he is employed in the organ factory in that town and has been drinking heavy for the past week. We could not learn what object he h ad in jumping from the window, and it was doubtless an attempt at suicide. He left with the. Clinton club shortly after for Clinton. School Garden Party. A garden party will be held on the Exeter Public School grounds on the evening of Friday, July 4th, to aid in providing funds for purchasing a good serviceable organ for school use, instead of renting as at present. Platform and seats will be arranged on the lawn and an excellent musical and literary programme will' be rendered, besides which numerous other amusements will be provided. Ice cream and lem- onade will be served in connection, and a small admission fee of ten cents charged at the gate. The school grounds are the finest in the village and no pains will be spared to make this the best party of the season. As the object of the concert is a most commendable one, it is expected that all will cheer: - fully support it. Further particulars next week. Personal Mention.
