Mr. Jas. NeHoweed left on Monday for Simco©, Buffalo, N. Y., and other points for the purpose of inspecting the different electric light systems now used in those places. Mr. Howard is determined, if the council accepts his offer, to put in the best possible plant 'that can be secured, There is no doubt but that Mr. Howard can produce the ,power for running a plant much cheap er than any other ;person and therefore will likely get the•contract. story is being told about an Irish- man, resident in the township of Down- ie. Someone asked him for whom he voted at the municipal elections. "Well", replied the son of the Emerald 'Isle, "oi voted for Misther Monteith for reeve, an' Oi voted for Misther Erb for deputy." And who was the third man you voted for?" was asked. "Well" replied the Irishman,' -there was a third man named Playbscite and Oiwas affeared he was a Tory and Oi didn't vote for him." The annual missionary meeting in connection with the Tnvutt Memorial Church was held as per announce went, with Rev. Hunt, Teeter, in the chair. Rev. Shaw, of Liman, and Rev, Wood of Wingham were the speakers of the evening. The former's being oh the . subject . of `"Foreign Mis- sions" and the ' latter"s beitYg on "Home Missions," both of whkh were excellent sermons and went right to the hearts of those present, ,w'hich was evident from the good collections taken up.

If tither of the above clubs could make it convenient to drive over to Exeter some evening in the near future. our "boys" would be only too pleased to entertain them for a' few hours on the merits of the game. The Seaforth Expositor says: -"We have the following on irreproachable authority:, A young lady and gentle man had wended their way homeward from the rink last Monday evening. Their conversation had been so en grossing that quite 'i•y accident, they had walked twice around two blocks, and were still lingering at the gate when the town clock began tostrike eleven The young man was struck by a sudden consciousness that it was time to go and said sweetly, "just dire." "'Why no!" said the young lady, think ing, of course, he referred to the time, "eleven." He took them." Died at Oshawa. Mr. and Mrs John V.

The Court of Common Pleas last week sustained the conviction of Samuel Howarth, druggist. for breach of the Medical Actt holdiug that for' a druggist to self a medicine for symp toms decided by a customs is to prat' tice medicine. It was held, however that a druggist can properly tell a customer a medicine or which of several he thinks best, but cannot legally inquire into the customer's symtoms to ascertain the nature of the ailment and• thenlindieate the remedy. The drug" gists are so annoyed at the dicision that they propose to carry it to a higher court. Exeter Council Proceedings.

A Gentleman in Scotland, who has been handling a good many Canadian apples, writes that some he' had 'receiv ed recently were of very poor quali ty and very poorly packed , being little better than windfalls. He says it.seems to him is if those who put them up were trying to get all they could out of them without thinking what damage such unfair dealing will eventually work Canadian fanners aid dealers should take note of this complaint, for it won't take very much of this sort of thing to spoil the reputa- tion of Canadian apples in the Old Country markets. Any person' gifted. with ordinary common sense can see that honesty is the hest policy in such a case as this. Farmers just now can hardly afford to throw away any source of revenue, However small.

Brimacombe, a well known resident of Exeter, breathed his last at the family residence yesterday (Wed,; after a prolonged and painful illubss, Deceased has been an asth- matic victim for many years, suffering at times very severely. The late Mr Brimacombe moved to this village some years ago from Elimville and assumed the proprietorship of the Mansion House but on account of his decaying health retired from the business after a few years in order to live a more secluded life and thus avoid the turmoil in cident to a business career. He leaves to mourn his demise a grown up fam- ily of four girls, three of whom are married, and one son. The funeral takes place to morrow (Friday) at 2.30 p. m, for the Exeter cemetery. Seed Grain. The question as to vitality and germinating power of seed grain is a must important one for farmers, and associated with this is that of the' rel- ative vigor of the young plants after the seeds have started. These quali- ties iu the seed will necessarily have' a large influence on the crop of the corn - Ng year. During 1893 there were 686 tests of samples made at the Experi- mental Farm, Ottawa, The fact that in this series of test samples of wheat have gone as low as 28 per cent., bar- ley 47 per cent. and oats 50 per cent. should be sufficient to induce those farmers who are holding seed of doubt ful vitality for spring sowing to send samples at once so that they may 'be. tested and reported on before the time for seeding arrives. These samples are tested fres of charge, and the re- ports of the results can usually be sent within two weeks from the date of the receipt of the samples. About one ounce of grain is sufficient for the test, and the samples can be sent from any part of the Dominion to the Central Experimental Farm through the mail free. Narrowly Escaped Death 1 ernard Shirra, son of the late Nicholas Shirra, who resides on the 2nd conces- sion Hay, met with an accident on Tuesday last that almost cost him his life and which may yet prove fatal. The unfortunate man had driven to the swamp with his team where two other hands were engaged in cutting timber. It seems they had cut down two trees, before he got there, both of which had lodged in another tree and while they were•endeavoring to dis- lodge them Mr. Shirrawas accidently caught by one of the trees and pinned to •the'stump, and at the same' time the other lodged tree fell on one of the horses and killed it almost instantly. Pinned in this very uncomfortable and painful position Mr. Shirra was com- pelled to remain until he 'was released by the two men cutting off the end of the log, Ho was at once , removed to his home in a helpless state, Medical aid was at once summoned, and his Wounds dressed when it was found that one of his ribs had been crushed into his lungs. He is now in a pre- earious state and it is doubtful whether" he will recover. Vie Children at a 'Birth.
