The rumors :were not altogether foundationless. The -•Massey-]Terris Co. desire the Verity firm do manufacture all the plows sold by them, ia'monn'ting in a year to from 15,000 to 20,- 4)00 plows, and had given the Messrs Verity flattering inducements to locate in either .of the above placer This they did not .desire to cro, were it possible to avoid it, and accordingly made the Massey -Harris 47o. a proposition whereby they might re- =main leo =ttiain in Exeter a a manufacture all :the Co.' • p1 iws. The proposition has been accep,,ul under certain conditions, and Mr. 111188 v the presideut of the Co. is expect - sad be <- o-rlay to examine the facilities of lbe Ice-r.r foundry for the work.

All baskets, baggage and parcels that cannot be stored as above, if taken into the car will be removed." The following is a copy of the list of questions which were handed in for dis- cussion in a rural 'literary' society during the season just closing : "Subjeot of diskuslon, Is dansin' morello rong? Is the reeding of fictishue wurk ennunoudiblel? Is it necessary that femails aliud reseave to thurry li'erery edncaehun? Ort fantails to talk part in polytix? The Brandon Sun of a recent date says: "The other day we had the pleasure of shaking hands with Mr. James Westeott, formerly of Exeter, Ontario. He is farming near Danglae and is doing well. He is the right kind of stuff to make a successful Manitoban. He was recently elected president of the Douglas exhibition, and with the assistance of the able secretary, Mr. Berry, will doubtless also make a suc- cess of it.

At a meeting of the Quarterly Official Board of the Main-st. Church held on Tuesday evening, the business of the Con- fereuce year was completed. The financial statement showed everything paid to date, with no liabilities against the Church and the minieter'e salary of $900 fully met. The past year has been ' the best year, financially, in the church's history. Mr. Richard Blatchford was appointed repre- sentative to the District meeting in the Janes -et. Church on the 17th inst. Quite an excitement was created on the streets Monday morning by a steer Getting away from Mr. John Shute. For a time -t was master of Mainest., and those who endeavored to stop it were forced to retreat, narrowly escaping a toss from its horns, The animal was in prime condition and it soon tired, and being tied closely to a post, was blindfolded and taken captive to the weigh scales, to which it had great aver- sion, no doubt preferring that the scales were on the old market. The annual meeting of the Exeter Cricket Club was held Friday evening last, when the following officers were elected for the coming year: Hon. Pres,, Dr. Hyndman; Pres,, Dr. Lutz; Vice Pres., W.

Snell, and preetice will commence at once, so any wishing to join will kindly notify the Sec'y. Minard'g.• Liniment foe Rheumatism: Sold fox 8805. The old market 'realty was sold on Sat- urday last by 31r. L. 'lardy, auctioneer, There was a fair attendance at the sale and bidding was lively. Tho lucky pur- chaser was Reeve Bowden at 805. When this land was given to the town for a mar- ket it cost some $ISCO, is yet a desirable property, and Mr, 13awden considers he has a bargain. A new market having been established, at the town hall, by the Coun- cil, the old marketproperty, by agreement, reverted to the shareholders and sold. It will still be retained for market purposes, a company of farmers having given a sett of scales to Le placed thereon for their convenience. Cattle yards will also be built and, it is said, things will go on as of yore. Donne of Serntous: Commencing on Sunday next and con - tinning until the 11th theme has been dealt with, Rev.
