On Monday last Mr. Wm. Howard
met with rather an unpleasant ex-
perience whin; filling a barrel of
water, at the river. It seems he was
standing on the wagon in which the
barrel was resting, when the horse
made a sudden start, and ran away,
precipitating Mr. Howard headlong in-
to the river. Luckily he escaped
little the worse for his unpleasant
cold bath.

Death has removed another of our
oldest citizens, in the person of Mr.
Thomas Pollard, who died at the family
residence Andrew Street, on Sunday
last after a prolonged and painful ill-
ness, at the age of 80 years and 7
months, Deceased was a former resi-
dent of Usborne and moved here sever
al years ago and has made Exeter his
home ever since. The funeral took
place to the Exeter cemetery, Tuesday.
A good joke is told on a V1'ine ham
clergyman. A nice looking young
couple went to him to get married late•
ly, and after the ceremony the groom
handed the clergyman an envelope.
The envelope was opened, ,and the
clergyman swooned as he read on a
slip enclosed: -"Strapped; will meet
you at prayer meeting Wednesday
night; God bless you.'
