LOCAL JOTTINGS, The front of the old shop occupied by •contractor Davidson has been taken out and boarded up. It is at least 'a slight improvement to that corner. While watching the shooting match on Thanksgiving Day Mr. Wm. Trey - gothic,' received several grains•of shot in the face which had to be extracted by a physician. On Tuesday night last some young rascals entered Mr. Wm. Drew's stably and carried off several pigeons. A con stable has been put on their track and iitfound out they will be brought to eustice. The third party suspected of being 'Implicated in the robbery of Muir's woollen mill here on the morning of Nay 25 was placed behind the bars be London on Friday. His name is John Hodgins. He is a married man, a blacksmith by trade, and conducted a business in a small vil lage calledg uflalo, isn McGillivray. Hodgins was arrested by Constable R. W. Ward, of London West. Three pairs of pants and sev- eral other articles, alleged to have been taken from the mill, were found %B his house. The preliminary hear - ug in the case of Wells Sholdice and Edward Sholdice, of McGillivray, -the other two prisoners, was begun before Squire J B. Smyth Friday morning, and at 1 o'clock was adjourned. Only two witnesses were examined. John Muir, head of the firm of Muir & Co., related the circumstances of the rob- bery and estimated his loss at $300.; Healso identified some of the clothing worn by the prisoners as similar to that stolen from the mi 11. The mother of the prisoners, Eliza Sholdice. was also ,examined. She stated that Wells had been in Exeter on the night of May 24. Re left home about 7 o'clock and did' not get back till daybreak the next morning. Edward, however, was in Parkhill on the Queen's Birthday. Mrs. Sholdicetold of the boys bringing the goods to her, but she never questioned them as to bow they got them. The .case was resumed Friday afternoon. Provincial Detective, Joseph E. Rod- gers, of Toronto, testified that Edward Sholdice had given many contradictory accounts as to how he came in posses- sion of the clothing, one story being that the articles were bought in Inger soil and another that they were se- cured near London. "Shouldice finally told me that the reason of his giving so many different yarns was on ac- count of his brother Wells telling him to say where he got the articles," con eluded Rodgers. Constable Ward's evidence corroberated this. The case was argued by counsel, and both pris- oners were sent up for` trial. On Sat- urday they were brought up to plead. Both pleaded not guilty, and they el ected trial by jury. They will conse- quently come up at the December ses- sions. Bail was allowed for the elder brother, Wells, himself in $800 and two sureties of $400 each. Edward's bail was fixed at $200 personally, and one surety of $100, The younger brother found bail, but Wells will remain in jail. It was not long after young Shouldice got bail, before the hand of law was again placed upon him, and he was locked up onanother charge of burg)ariy. He is said to have broken into the store of Fred Brown, Claude. boye, and carried away a quantity of goods. Shouldice pleaded guilty to the offence before Squire Revington, of Biddulph and was sent up for trial. He was landed in jail Monday. Wheat during the past week has been selling here for 55 and 56 cents per bushel. The value of .cheese out put for Ox- ford last year represented oyer $60 for each family in the county. The store north of the post office has been thoroughly renovated and Mr. John Matheson is moving his stock therein. A large quantity of roots are still in the fields and the farmers are anxious- ly waiting for a few days of warm weather, All kinds of poultry aro plentiful at the various merchants counters just now. Avoid the rush a week before Christmas and make sure of your tur- key, goose or duck by ordering ahead.

A "tell tale" milk jug has just been devised in England. It is a glass measure graduated at every quarter pint. Below the pint and half pint marks three lines are etched showing the thickness of cream which should appear in milk of average quality., in good and in very good milk, thus meaeuring both quantihy and quality'. It is to be hoped that such a useful measure will soon make its•appearance in the Dominion. Messrs. Perkins & Martin whose advertisement appears in another col- umn are doing good business these days. Last week they put out two organs and Monday of this week they put out two more. Messrs Perkins & Martin are an enterprising firm and the superior musical instruments, sew- ing machines and bicycles which they. handle, is what is keeping, up their good reputation. We cheerfully re- commend them to our readers. We understand that those of our merchants who handle Christmas goods are making preparations for the grand est displays of holiday presents and bric-a-brac ever exhibited i Exeter. It is now to be seen which of them will have the finest window dis- play. We maintain that there are several window decorators in Exeter who stand second to none in the coun- try. Children are already talking "Santa Claus" and their demands will require a large and varied assortment to fill the supply. The preliminary hearing in the case of John Hodgins, was held before Squire J. B. Smyth at the court house Lon- don Tuesday. There were no new de- velopments in the case, the evidence being largely a repetition of that given against the Sholdice boys. Seyera.l of tife articles of clothing found in Hed- ging' house were positively identified by Muiras stolen from the null, and Constable Ward said that Hodgins ad- mitted being in Exeter at the time of the robbery. Hodgins was Committed ttIi trial. He was subsequently brought before Judge William Elliott 6lected trial by jury and committed to the De- ueMber sessions.. Bail was accepted, Hodgins giving bonds for $800 and two slgretres of $400 each, Bicycle for Sale. A first-class, secnnd hand bicycle for •sale has been run only 4 months. Price $40.—A bargain.

Death of Ruch Ross. The many friends of Mr. Hugli Ross, Winnipeg, Man:, will learn with ex- ceedingly deep regret of his demise. As was stated in these colums last week Mr. Ross was afflicted with spinal. disease, caused by a fall received here some years ago. After several days of intense suffering he succumbed to its deathly powers on Tuesday last. Mr. Ross was a resident of Exeter some years ago, and while here was married to Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Mr. David Johns, post -master. He was 37 years of age. His remains will be interred at Winnipeg. The Montreal Witness' One of the sights of Montreal is a visit to the 'Witness' office, which for internal elegance, ,convenience and completeness of equipment has few rivals anywhere. One's attention is arrested on the sidewalk by seeing through a •window a Chinaman pa tiently turning a crank withthe air of one who has a contract for a cen- tury of faithful labor, and means to fulfil it, The Chinaman is made of wood and for steady, patient, endless toil, commend us to a wooden China- man. Making bold to go in we find ourselves in an enviable public office with tiled floor, hot house flowers and what not, Then we were piloted up a spiral stair, through the great editorial room, to the battery of linotypes which are the marvel of the nineteenth cen- tury as Gutenberg'smovable types were of the awakening life of the fifteenth. The great Hoe press of the 'Witness,' which prints almost any number of pages, from two to thirty-two, is the very best complete machine anywhere. Close beside it you are shown on en- quiry a patch on the floor which marks the spot where exploded the famous bomb some months ago, which the 'Witness' doubtless owed to its active and effective war against gamblers and bunco steerers,a class which by expos- ure and clever caricature it has man- aged to drive from the city, or at least to deprive of the open tolerance and public freedom which they before en toyed at the hands of sympathetic offi- cials. The stand for law and order taken by the 'Witness' lately resulted in an investigation of the detective system of Montreal, which has revealed the need of some revolutionary change. The paper is devoted to temperance and all good things. It claims to be independent in politics and has certain- ly' opposed with equal vigor the Conser- vative government at Ottawa and the Liberal ]Mercier government at Quebec. It is at all events a clean family paper, Very carefully edited and and of the prettiest in get tip and typography that Climes to our office, The Exeter Gun Club held a Thanks- giving Day shooting match at live pigeons -10 birds for each shooter.
