Three American jewelry pedilers have been fleecing a number of farmers in the townshirs of Gostield and Melees,. The peddlers offered for sola cheap, what they termed " solid gold Waltham watches,' and the Patrons of Industry snapped at the bait. The watches sold wore cheaply -plated articles, which can be purchased for $2 apiece. The shareholders of the marketproperty which upon the disestablishment of the market will be sold,seem to be at variance. Some are anxious to dispose of the land to get their money out of it, others that they might have an opportunity of buying it to erect buildings thereon ; while some de- sire it hold as a cattle market. What the outcome will be it is hard to say. At a meeting of the Exeter Gun Club the other evening, the following officers; Were elected for the ensuing year :—D :1 Johns, Pres., I.

Every lady nor - (Bally invited. Twenty-eight Cantelons, all relations voted for the Hon. Mr. Patterson, in Nest Huron. To the 2s-dttor of the Exeter Times. Would you kindly give me a small space in your valuable paper to explain mypos1- tion in reference to this 'vexatious market question. At the last meeting of the council, many of you are aware, I trade thecouneil an offer to resign my ,office as reeve of this villag), upon conditions that a vote of the freeholders of the yillage be taken as to whether the present grounds be retained as a stack market or given away from the town forever. In the event of such an election taking place I offered to pay all expenses connected with it. '1y reasons for persisting in, this course are : 1st, That it is admitted by shippers from all quarto's that we have best accom- modation far shipping cattle, sheep and hogs of any place west of Toronto more especially hogs. Itis difficult even nowto drive these animals to the station; but if they have to be weighed at the town hall it would be necessary to reload them at an expense to both buyer and seller, and a risk of damage to the animals. On ac count of having suck excellent accommoda- tion for ahippine we have in the pest sc- oured the shipping of buyers from Hernial', Mitchell, Parkhill and the surrounding district, which all tend. to build up our town, I have paid nut thousands of dol- lars at this same spot, and parties are at liberty to go and spend it where they see at. Why then give away what wa have now in possession and which cost us so much money to gravel and fence, to build. inferior ones elsewhere? I ant willing to carry out the wishes of the people by pass mug bylaws for the sale of grain and pro- duce and have a weigh scale for the weigh- ing of hay, etc,, on the new market as well J3ylews are things that are easily changed or amended ; but giving away our property is one of the things that we can never make good and is an irretriev- able loss. I could overlook this course if it were goiugto benefit any one in particn- Lir, but on the contrary will be a source of iueonvenienceto many and a loss ofrevenue to the village. By the loss of this properly, and the expense of creating yards else- where, the town will be short in its assets some x2,000—a serious consideration in- deed. I think T am voieiag the sentiments of the villagers when I state that it is a piece of folly to pursue such a course. Yours truly, War. BAWD;\, Exeter, Mar. 22„92. Reeve.
