When discovered he was crawl- ing on his hands and knees to the house. Luckily however no bones were broken, An uproarious fisticuiT threatening a great loss of blood (?) took place in town between two of our young men, Wednesday.

Many a man has attempted to tell how to run a newspaper, but that's no trick.

Departure of a Worthy ]11iu.istll:. The Rev. Geo. •Jaokson. who has been in charge of James Street Methodest church for the past three years, leavens this week for his new field of labor in London, bearing with him, we are as- sured on all hands, the uuq'ualified re- spect of all with whom he has been as- sociated during his residence in Exeter He has labored earnestly and faithfully in all his relations with the church and markedly devoted iu his ministrations among the sick or less fortunate of the people, The church will lose in Mr, and Mrs, Jackson two warm and en- thusiastic workers in the cause of Methodism and a large circle of friends will regret their departure. The city of London has secured in Rev. Jackson a thorough gentleman, a man of much force of character and an earnest expounder of the truths contained in that Holy Book. Visit Wonderland. Those who purpose attending the cheap excursion to Sarnia and Detroit under the auspices of the h 0. F., on Saturday next, should without fail while at the latter place visit Wonder- land. They will find in the museum a cool, comfortable place to spend an hour or two, and secure instruction as well as entertainment and amusement. Wonderland this year is larger than ever, there now being eight separate departments During this season the great World's Fair Crystal Maze has been purchased by proprietor J. H. Moore, at a cost of $5,000 and added to Wonderland. No extra charge is made for one to enter the labyrinth of mirrors in which people cometimes loose them- selves far hours. An attendant how- ever is always ready to show them the exit when they are weary of trying to discover it themselves. In the Maze one sees a thousand reflections of one's self, and it is the mystifying in the ex- treme. A Baby Lion is also one of the permanent attraetious that have been added this season.

Bishop &- Son, leaves to- day (Thursday) for London, Eng., and other European cites. Mr. Bishop has not been enjoying the best of health for some time and he thinks a change of climate will improve his condition. We sincerely hope his anticipation may be fully realized. The residence of Mr. Wm. Passmore, William street, was the scene of a quiet wedding on Thursday, evening last whereby cupid scores another yictory, the occasion being the mar- riage of his daughter, Susanna, to Mr, Charles Snell, Sr,, Express Agent. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Geo. Jackson in the presence of a few rola. tives. We wish them every Prosperity through life. Mr. John Taylor, of the enterprising firm of Ross & Taylor, has by his in- ventive genius hit upon a device which doubtless will largely increase his bank account. He has jus finished a most complete contrivance for raising and lowering windows for ventilation pur- poses. This invention provides a sim- ple and durable diyiee by means of which a window can be expediently lowered from the top or raised from the bottom, or both operated at the same time. This is indeed a complete rig and Mr. Taylor has applied for a patent. Among those from a distance who exercised their franchise iu town Tues- day, we noticed the following:—C. B. Marsland, Toronto; A. J. Snell, Lansing Mich.; Edward Sanders, Elora; Chas. Ewing, Mitchell; Wm. Stewart, Detroit, Mich.; Alf. Salter, London; Jas.

Martin, Constance; Frank Hunt, Lon- don; Chris. Balsdon, Melborne; Frank Smale, Edwin Braund, Thos. Heaman and Wm. Westaway, Brantford; John Salter and Nelson Taylor, London; Ed. Gill, Grand Bend The Listowel Banner of last week has the following complimentary refer- ence to the Rev. Dr. Willoughby, who is about to take the pastoral charge of the James Street Methodist church:— "Next Sabbath will be the Rev. Dr. Willoughby's last appearance in the pulpit as pastor of the Listowel Metho dist church. During the following week he and Mrs. Willoughby will take their departure to Exeter where we. can only wish them as many friends and the same success as they have eu- joyed in Listowel. Both by his fervent and effectual ministerial discharge of his many arduous duties as pastor of a large town and country membership and by his genuine qualities as a man, Dr. Willoughby has, in a wonderful way attached the hearts of the whole community to himself, making his in- fluence a powerful one in helping and moulding the character of lives and homes where his kindness and godli• ness shall ever be remembered. Dur- ing his three years in thisetown Meth- odism has doubled its membership and increased in financial ability very greatly and is a united force which we hope will continue to befelt on all moral and social questions. We be live it a fact that,no minister of any church has eyer left a stronger mark on this commtinity than Rev. Dr. Wil- loughby." "Don't be deceived."

The bride who was a Toronto lady will be welcomed by the warm-hearted Blanshardites and their many friends wish them a long, happy and prosper- ous career in their new home.
