To the Editor of the Exeter Times. Slit.—Allow me to correct an error that appears ill your issue of the 21st inst, with reference to the recount of the ballots in -the late Municipal elections You state that the recount cost Mr. Medi ordie and his friends $50 ; but such is not the case, as the coats were less by one half. Again you state that Mr McMordie chagrined at his misfortune. This also is an errors; Mr McMordie does not consider it a misfor- tune and was very indifferent from the time he secured the nomination, and if it had not been for the indifference he mani- fested he would have been elected by a large majority.

OBITUARY. —And still another has "crossed the river" with that grim ferrym'tn "Sharon" from this locality. On :Saturday night T. J. Wilson, of " Willow Hall," who has been suffering from that fell disease consumption for some months, was forced to give in. T. J., as lie was familiarly called, was a central figure in the timber industry that was booming in this locality some years back. He had for several years from fifty to sixty hands employed dur- ing the wtntor season, paying a weekly wage of four or live hundred dollars,and handling between ono and two hundred thousand dollars annually. However, a business of that magnitude required a more stern master than T. J., and the consequence was, what should have been a financial success, was the means of leaving him without a dollar. Manlike, everything was given up to satisfy bis creditors, and he compelled to earn his living by his daily labor. Had his con- stitution been of a robust ]rind, he might have succeeded m onco more working his way up, but not being so he was forced to give up the struggle, taking quietly to farming, being, seemingly, as content as when handling his thousands, Reverses after all are true manhood's test. By his demeanor he proved him- self a man and always retained the best wishes of all. He was born and spent all his days in this locality, being the oldest son of Wm. Wilson, who left ten days ago to spend the residue of his days in Dakota. The remains were tak- en from " Willow Hall" to the English Church in this village where a short and appropriate discourse was delivered by the Itev. Sermon, and from thence to the Exeter cemetery, followed by a largo concourse of friends. He leaves a wife and one child to mourn MI air loss.

The fire originated in Gilroy's and was caused by the explosion of a lamp. There was a quantity of linen and cotton goods near the lamp and these immediately took Elle, and before the alarm could be given it had gained an awful headway. None of Gilroy's stook was saved, but the other stooks were taken ont before mach damage had been done to them. The firemen did remarkably well in saving the other build- ings around. Gilroy's loss is estimated at about $9000, insured for 166000; Rumball's loss is comparatively small—ooyered by in- surance; Cunningham carried no insurance.
