Now that our Board of Trade have
abandoned the scheme of having a
celebration hero on the 1st of July the
people will have to suck some other
place for amusement. Would it not
have been better for our council to
have granted them, say $5Q, and let
them have continued with their Moral

a large crowd, and kept our citizens
and their money at home, than to let
them squander it in neighboring
towns There are a number here ,vlto
are willing to work for the interest of
the village, without receiving. any re-
muneration, if they could onlyget a
little assistance in some way. Now
the prospects are, that Exeteris going
to let all of these hclidays go by *ith
out having anything on a single one
of them. Look at other places, consid-

large cash prizes for sports and other
amusements, while the are, dormant.
There is not the least doubt that these
demonstrations draw a large number
of people, and if they comp they bring
their money with thein, and ale surd to

is about time that we should all unite

A. novel made of securing -a large
supply- of cucumbers is to sink an old
leaky barrel into the ground, first fill-
ing it
ill-ing,it two thirds full of barnyard ma-
nure,. Around the barrel make the
cvcumber bed in a circle eight feet in
diameter, the barrel in the centre.
Plant the seed within one foot of the
barrel, and allow the vires to run out
from the barrel. Pour the wasli•water
from the house into thebarrel, and al-
low into leak through into the ground.
Do not keep the ground too wet, but
simply moist. ` The result will be an
enormous yield of cucumbers,- which
can be picked' daily as required.
Runaway.
On Tuesday afternoon, while Master
Harry Browning was driving• along
one of our back streets the horse be-
came unmanageable and attempted to
run away. The youngster kept a
firm grasp of the reins •trid managed
to direct the course of the animal ` to
the Main St, and when opposite the
Central Hotel, he drove between a post
and a load of brick, which was stand
ing on the road, and succeeded in
bringing the animal to a sudden stop.
The horse made a plunge _for the side
wall:, but the driver held him .fast and
would not allow him to escape. The
wagon was only slightly damaged, and
the horse and driver escaped without
a mark.
