BRODERICK' Now that the fly season is near at lazed the following plan of ridding the kitchen and dining room of the pests"is said to be a good one:—Take a small stove shovel, heat it red hot, and pour on it a few drops of carbolic acid, hav- ing previously closed the doors and. windows. In a few minutes open the room and the flies will be found to have entirely disappeared. Only a faint odor of the fumes or carbolic acid will remain. The Brussels Post says:—"Last week James Maxwell, Elizabeth street, had a cow die, and under such peculiar cir- cumstances that a post mortem was de- cided upon. An examination of the internal machinery revealed the fact that a long darning needle had gene trated her heart, nearly the whole of the needle being out of sight. This may be thought to be a yarn but we )nave it, on good authority that there was no y.rn about it. The needle is supposed to have been swallowed and to have worked through the stomach to the yital organ." At the last regular meeting of Leb- anon Forest Lodge, No. 133, A. F. Sr, A.

Scarcely were the remains of one of our oldest pioneers deposited in the si- lent tomb till another is snatched from our midst by that grim monster—death. We refer to the demise of Wm. Horn, who died on Thursday last at the age of 77 years, 101 months and 14 days. Born in Sulcombe, Devonshire, Eng- land, July 14th, 1818, his early life was spent in his native place with his par- ents and at the age of 19 he became a member of the Bible Christian church. In 1841 he married Grace Brock and coming to this country two years later settled on a farm in the township of Darlington where he remained for five years. He then removed to a farm in the township of Yarmouth, where he remained for another five years after which be moved ou the farm now oc- cupied by his son Samuel in the town- ship of Usborne, it being at that time all bush and after several years of hard work be made for his wife and family a comfortable home. He was always a warm, enthusiastic Christian and was ever ready to extend a helping hand to further the good cause, His house was used for several years by the neighborhood to worship in and though not fine in its architecture, many the happy hour of devotion was spent in the little home. The first ser- mon delivered in that section was by one John Taylor followed by Mr. Hib• bert and later a Mr. Harley, and when feed was very scarce he has been known to buy hay and carry it a long distance to feed the ministers horses. He. gave the site for the erection of a school house and also the ground for the Zion cemetery and when it was thought ad- visable to build a church at Zion he bought and delivered half the brick on the premises, Hence it will be seen' he was liberal hearted and a warm friend to the church. About 18 years ago he moved to the premises on the London Road, a little south of the village where he remained till his 'death. He has been an invalid for about 8 years' dur- ing which time he has suffered intent. ly from rheumatism. He was a Con- servative in ,politics and of late years a Methodist. He leaves to mourn his de- mise a widow and five children—Sam- uel Horn, Usborne; Mrs. Reid, Palmer- ston; Mrs, Hanson, Fullerton; Mrs,' Peart, Usborne, and Mrs. Manning, (widow) at home. His retrains were interred in the Zion cemetery. on Sun day, Rev. Geo. Jackson, conducting the service. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the community.

Great national events are very pro perly kept in mind by public consent, our Yankee cousin celebrates his Fourth of July with bon fires, fire- crackers, orations and a geaerally big time, in remembrance of their attain- ing independence as a people. Canadi- ans celebrate July 1st, as an event in our history, when the three scattered provinces of this fair country united into one great Dominion. But British subjects everywhere commemorate Her Majesty's birthday in happy, thankful remembrance of that grand old Lady Queen Victoria, Nor did Exeter and its surrounding fail to do their duty on that eventful occasion. As advertised a grand Bicycle Tournament took place here and the day was most fittingly celebrated. The weather was fine and all that could be desired, although a shower of rain about 10 o'clock threat- ened to destroy the prospects. How- ever it was not long before the clouds broke away and soon all was clear, leaving the tract: in most excellent con- dition for the races.
