HUNT, Rector, LOCAL JOTTINGS The Zurich show days are fixed for September 26th and 27th. 'the Death of Mr. Trivitt. Among the many men who have made names for themselves and con- nected their lives with the social, com- mercial and political life of Exeter, Mr. Trivitt stands alone. In the line of business that he touched he made a successful mark and in that of politics the Conservative party knew him as a steadfast and consistent friend. Divis- ion Court Clerk for forty-two years his office was a pattern of promptness, neat- ness and order. Inspection was wel come at any hour or time. So with everything that he did. To day's work was done to -day and the "thief of time' made no harvest from him. In the last few years our town has known Mr. Trivitt as a religious benefactor of no common kind. The Trivitt Memorial Church is a monument that will last as no other one could. We, who believe that religion will stand while the world holds together must of necessity con- fess that he who binds his name to a religious anchor is secure whatever storms and waves arise. The family name of Trivia is held now by but one person in England, and at his death it will pass away. But the monument built in our midst will outlive the grandchildren of the youngest gener- ation now worshippers within its walls Sothat, as we said above, Mr. Trivitt's life is tike that of no other citizen we have, or have had. Personally he was known to but few people. A man who lived outside the glare of common life, yet those who worked in the turmoil felt the touch of his personalty. Born in England, he came to Canada about fifty years ago settling at what is now Centralia. When the railway was pro- jected he gave the company the sum of one thousand dollars and the land for station purposes. They located the station between his two farms and hence the name conferred by Mr. Trivitt of Centralia. He was a life member of the Bible Society, and also of the Synod of Huron, He was Church Warden of Christ Church, Exeter, for. eight years, than longest term held by any one officer in its history. His gifts to the Church of England here and to the Synod of Huron are too well known to need recalling in this article. While the splendid church stands the name of Trivitt will live in our midst. "He being dead yet speaketh." On Wed- nesday of Inst week after a day of suf fering he fell asleep at half -past eight in the evening. The funeral on Sat- urday afternoon was largely attended, fully seven bundled people being in the church The Bishop of Huron gave an address, the first rector. Rev. S. F. Robinson, of Walkerton, and the present one,Rev. E, W. Hunt, assisting in the service. The Rev. Shaw, of Lucan, was also present. The ad- dress of the Bishop was powerful. im• pressive and touchieg. "Infidelity" said his Lordship "has many argument, but it has no songs." He then showed the Christian's hope and the Christain's re- ward. After the service the coffin was bourne to the chancel and lowered into the vault, This was prepared as was also that of the late Mrs. Trivitt, by Mr. S. Sweet, builder of Exeter. The music by the choir was beautiful- ly rendered, the organ being played by Mrs. Hunt. Her rendering of the "Dead march in Saul" was a thrilling exposition of that grand composition. The last words of Tennyson set to music by Bridge and sung at his own funeral, "Crossing the bar" was ren- dered during the service. Everything in the church went forward in the most perfeet man nor. The bearers were the same as for Mrs. Trivitt, Messrs. Deno van, O'N61, Mill, Spackman, Hardy and Dyer. The funeral wasconductedby Mr, Gidley. We noticed from a dis- tance Mrs. Cousins, of Grand Rapids, niece of the late Mr, Trivitt, and also the Rev. S. F. Robinson, of Walkerton, -and Mr. Denovan, manager of the 12olson's Bank, Norwich. The will of the late Mr. Trivitt leaves all his tri perty, with the exception of thgr., dowrnent to.the chureh in trustAol+the Synod of Iduron, to Mrs. A. Q. Bobier, niece of the late Mrs, Trivitt. And so the life and work of eightytwo years comes to a close in our midst, "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord * * * they rest from their labors and their •works do follow to it Parson Bros, commenced thrashing on Tuesday They have purchased a new engine and machine and are pre- pared to do work in good .style, The roads throughout the country are not the vary nicest at present, ow- ing to the introduction of new gravel, We sometimes think it a pity to spoil the good roads this way, and wonder why it would not do just as well to put the gravel on in the fall, just before the wet weather sots in. The two houses and lots, sold under mortgage made by Edwin Carley, only brought the sum of $625. The proper - t on corner of Gidley and Marlboro Streets was sold for $500 while the property next to it sold for $125. A, G. Dyer was the highest bidder for the former and Bert Fuke fcr the latter, This is very cry -cheap property indeed considering that the house on the cor- ner alone cost $800. Be careful how you admit tramps; many of them are infected with dis- ease, and srnallpoc has frequently been the result of neglect in not sending themfpromptly off the premises. They are often exposed to contagious dis. eases, and their filthy manner of life only adds to the danger. With the derided scourge, smallpox, so near us, we cannot afford to run chances, and should not hesitate a moment when the health and safety of our families and neighbors are concerned.—Ex. Several cramps were going the rounds of the town last week, begging for money. At several places they are reported to have used very abusive and obscene language. All tramps should at once be reported to the edit, stable as nnusances,, and be "fired" out of town immediately, The Guiding Star is the name of, a now fraternal society which is about to commence operations in Canada: It I will admit both men and women to membership. Whether it has Govern tnent sanction to do business in this Province we are not aware, but doubt it t verY much. Parties solicited efted tp join should be certain that the society is entitled to do business in Ontario, be- fore investing their money.—Ex, In the evolution of a bicycle three 'ortsteps s ha •e been Important t s p � ee taken, the first being in the application of crank repulsion to the old velocipede, the see- ond of India rubber tires, and the third in the use of pneumatics. An inventor now announces the applica- tion to the bicycle of an electric motor, taking from the rider the labor of pro pulsion, and leaving him only the corn, parately easy task of steering it. He claims that one charge of the storage battery will drive the vehicle 200 miles, and if this should turp out to be true it would open for the instru- ment a future of the utmost import- ance in a way not now dreamed of.

The fourth Session of the Seventh Parliament of Canada came to an end oh Monday last after a session of 131 days. Berry pickers are busily engaged in gathering in the luscious fruit.

A Dutchman for pay, a Spaniard for jealously, an Italian for revenge, a German for home, a Swiss for liberty, a Frenchman for glory, a Seotchman for kin, au Englishman for trade, an Irishman for fun, a Yankee for peace and a fool for politics. On Tuesday Mr. Alf. Allen brought three nice ripe tomatoes into the AD- VOCATE office,which were just suited for a cultivated taste, such as all editors have. 11r. Allen says his tomato crop will be ready for market in about a week. If you haye to buy, send him your orders at once. For the "first fruits" he has our thanks, Mr. C. Prouty, Clerk of Stephen, . re- ceived the sad intelligence by telegram from Gouverneur N. Y., on Tuesday of the death of his brorher, Mr, Nelson C. Prouty. Deceased was a printer by tra.de and was 78 years of age. Mr. Prouty was unable to attend the funer al owing to the length of time it would take to get to his brother's home.

We congratulate this firm on their steadily increasing business. "The Exeter Band did go odservree during the 12th of July by enlivening' the proceedings with inspiring music, la their showy uniforms they were the "observed of all observers" and won the golden opinions of the crowd, es- pecially of the ladies, Our brother quill of the Advocate was one of them. Never did we see an editor so gaily caparisoned," --Parkhill' Gazette -Re- view. The people who so love to do their shopping on Saturday nights should mune and think of the tired clerks who , aye just gone through the busiest day of the week and who are still on duty and trying to be pleasant, Don't for goodness sake, ladies and gentle- men, prolong the agony!, but, if yeti can't possibly do your buying at any other time but Saturday, do it as early as possible then, and give the mereh- ants a rest. Crop reports have recently been received from all sections of the province and in most eases the indications are of the most hopeful character. Graius generally promise an average or better, and fruit will be abundant in many sections. The May frost did comparatively little damage. The party who bas been in Lucan this week, taking orders for Crayon Portraits, has failed to call for the printing he gave an order for at this office.

Fly Polson, s� An effective fly poison which has the merit of being poisonous only to flies is made of the yoke of an egg beaten up with a teaspoonful each of ground black pepper and molasses. It should be poured in shallow plates and set about, This is a simple process to catch the few flies that slip into the house before the screens are put up, for most housekeepers wait until warned by the buzzing insects of their arrival to put in these safeguards. Toe Grasshopper Plague, Grasshoppers are unusually numer- ous this season, and have done great damage to crops in some localities, par- ticularly where the Iand is of a light sandy nature. They have devoured the young turnip plants entirely, and have seriously injured oats by eating through the .stalks of the growing grain. Various expedients have been resorted to by farmers for the purpose of getting rid of the grasshoppers, one of which is rolling the land in the hope that the life might be crushed out of a large portion of the lively pests, Obituary, It is our sad duty this week to record the death of a most estimable young lady, in the person of Miss Agnes Fer- guson, who departed this life. on Sun- day the 22 inst„ at her mothers' resi- dence, on William st. at the age of 28 years, 1 month and 4 days. The de. ceased was a very acceptable teacher in our Public School uutil Easter when shewas obliged to resign on account of poor health caused by consumption. Besides a sorrowing mother three,sisters and a brother, she leaves a host of friends to mourn her demise. Her re mains were laid to rest in the Roger- ville Cemetery on Tuesday afternoon. Toronto's Great .Fair for 189it. The Toronto Ind ustrial Exhibition, which is to be held from the 3rd to the 15th of September, will no doubt be the greatest fair of the present year, and from present indications it prom- ises to excel all others, both in point of exhibits and in attendance of visitors.

SPAGHIAt1 & CO Samwell's Block By a decision of the Supreme Court at Halifax a man has a right to shoot a dog that runs out and barks at his horse if he believes the animal likely to be seriously frightened. thereby. In the case quoted from, plaintiff sued the defendant for value of dog shot bark ing at the defendant's horse, •and was awarded $15 and cost by county court. Defendant appealed and this decision was reyersed by the highest Nova Sco- tia court and the' plaintiff taxed some two hundred dollars cost. The dog that makes a business of running out into the road and . barking at every team that comes along, ought to be shot and his owner deserves to be in- dicted by the grand jury for maintain• in a public nuisance. This decision of the Supreme court affirms the right of the trayelling public . to shoot all such creatures. Any man who wishes to keep a dog has, we presume, the right to do so, but he has not the right to keep about him a brute that is a nuisance to his neighbor or to the gen, oral public.
