Mn Arch. Illshop, M. P. P., returned home from the Legislature tact week, and was busy for a time distributing the revis- ed statutes to those entitled to them.

We notice that several municipalities intend printing the assessment roll this yea-. Ratepayers are evidently beginning to demand more information on public matters, The town hall flags as well as hags on other buildings were at half-mast the fore part of the week in respect of the memory of the departed statesman, Hon, Alex.

We were very hiuhly Somplimented last week by several persons with the remarks that The Teems was the moat newsy paper in Nitron. People seem to appreciate our condensed newo columns. Exeter would be a good point for binder twine and rope manufactory, as there is a lot of flax grown here and labor would not be expensive, and the Council would give them exemption from taxes. A drive throngh this eeotion shows the country in e. mule Let-.;;er state than pre- vious years, The fall wLeat looks well and there will be a lot of buildings going up, which is a good sign of prosperity. At a meeting of the Agricultural Society on Saturday evening, .it was decided not to rent the grounds this season, but have then leveled and properly fixed for ex- hibition purposes. lir. Willis, who last week rented the grounds. willingly gave them up. The Agricultaral grounds h.cve been en- larged and a new frame is being built around the additional eight acres. Short- ly volunteer labor will be commenced on the track, which it is said will be a good one. We would suggest that it be made of kite shape -the newest and most approved track. A "Rainbow" social under the auspices of the Young -People's C. E. Society was held in the basement of James -at. Church Good Friday evening. The room in which tea was served was ornamentally decorated for the occasion. An impromptu program was delivered, three or four selections be- ing rendered while the tables were being re set. The attendance was large, as the receipts, which amounted to $SG, would indicate. The proceeds go to the Church fand. By the Act passed by the Ontario Legis- lature the other day providing that farm lands in towns and villages should only be taxed at farm land values means a saving. to the•owuer of a hundred acres in some towns of from $75 to, $100 per annum. The measure had.°its inception in St. Marys, where a large amount of farming land is inolctded in the eurperatien limits, and where the usually high rate of taxation made the rate collectable from farm lands equal to a small rental. The farmers there hays been fighting againat•tlze injustice of. the old assessment act for years past, and last winter Registrar Whelihan, the owner ad tiller of many broad acres,read a paper before the Centrallearmers' Institute on the subject and succeeded in having brought about the desired results. The.. Royal Templars of Temperance had an Easter social in their Lodge room on eionday evening, when a very enjoyable time was spent.

Tea over, the program was completed, after which the gathering dispersed, all feeling that they' had spent a pleasant and social - able evening. The Assessor has completedhia work. Prof. W, H.

Division. Court was held in Exeter on Monday. nut there was little bustness before His Honor Judge Doyle. The Cred- iton Court was postponed 'until next month owing to Inck of business. This is a good sign of prosperity ou the part of the public generally. Mr, A. Dyer, Secretary of the Stephen ds Uaborne Agricultural Society, derares, on behalf of the Directors, to thank the municipal councils of Exeter, Stephen and Usborne, and the people of Exeter, for their liberal donations in aid of the im- provements to the grounds. The line fence fronting 112r. R. Davis' feria on the2ed eon., Stephen, was butned on Tuesday evg. A portion of Mr. John Ford's fence was also destroyed. It is thought that the fire was caused by some- one throwing n lighted cigar on the road- side. Miss Ella, daughter of Mr. John Evans, while in the wood on Friday plucking flowers, met with a serious accident. In climbing over a barb wire fence the board running along the tap, broke, allowing the girl the fall on the wires, a garb of one of which caught in one of her limbs; and held her suspended for some time. As a result Miss Evans is suffering a severe wound, Four ladies in a rig went for a drive on Monday to see a friend in Rodgerville. In turning to go in at the gate the lady driver allowed the horse to turn out instead of in, The consequence was an upset and four ladies sprawling on the ground all under ther rig. No great damage was sustained by them but the rig lost a wheel. Two ladies had to drive home and two walked Moral t Take a gentleman with you next time ladies. Many purchases of cattle for future de- livery ate being made by buyers at this time, It behooves sellers to see that they are in good order when delivery time comes. The English market demandathat they shall be "finished" fat, and buyers here will not accept them unless they are. It will be greatly in the interest of sellers and buyers [if cattle intended for export have the greatest amount of beef possible put on the animals. It should not be necesaary to call upon people to comply with the ordinary rules of health, and to keep premises in proper sanitary condition. Nevertheless, at this time of year it is always incumbent to urge upon house holderstoclean up their back yards, and to remove all decaying vege- tables ard' fruits from their fcellers. 'A simple compliance with the sanitary regu- lations at this season may prevent typhoid and kindred diseases and epidemicsfrom appearing later on.
