The Exeter sports are preparing for the opening of the shooting season; some of them have, had some practice on cotton tails and are ready for ducks which come in on the first September. The game warden for this district will keep a very keen lookout for parties violating the game law. In our item referring to the assault ease at the North end of the village a few weeks ago we stated that the affray t e& place at the Exeter North Hotel, but such was not the case, it was at a residence on the, back street west of she hotel. We make this correction in justice to Mr. Grafton, proprietor of the hotel.. It is not generally known that tele- phone wires have an important in- fiktcnee in preventing lightning from striking. '[he German government telegraph department put 340 towns with telephone systems and 360 towns without them under observation, In rise former the lightning struck three times for every hour of storm; in the tatter five times. Moreover, the vio- lence of the lightning was much less teethe former case,, 35 cents paysfor the ADvoCATu from now to 1st Jan., 1897. We were shown on Tuesday by Mr. John Moffat four apples that were baked on the trees in his orchard last week by the sun. They are of the Baldwin variety and are quite a curios • ity. Mr. Moffat says that he has read of apples being baked on the trees by the sun in Australia but this is the first time that he has ever known such a thing to happen in Canada —Blyth Standard. A new insect has invaded the coun- ty of Bruce that is being eagerly sought for by farmers. It battles with potato bugs and is effectual in driving the pests from the potato vines. It first made its appearance in gardens in Johnstown, but it is now being trans. planted into gardens all over the coun- try. It is a diamond shaped insect with a long beak. It makes a business of spearing the potato bugs and living on their blood. It does not harm the vines. It is green in color. Alma College, St. Thomas, Ont , has five departments:—Literature, Music, Fine Art, Elocution and Commercial Training. The faculty numbers eigh- teen thoroughly qualified teachers. Rates run from $39 to $46 per term for board, furnished room, light, laundry and tution iu all literary subjects in- cluding the classics and the modern languages. $190 paid in advance secures all the above advantages together with in- struction in drawing and piano by the regular teachers for one year. For an- nouncement address Principal Austin, B. D. A sharper is going the rounds in Montreal trying to swindle storekeep- ers by tendering insufficient change. His mode of operation is to make a small purchase tendering a ten or twen • ty dollar bill, after pretending to make an unsuccessful search for a one dollar bill. Upon receiving his change from a small purchase he finds his dollar bill and then asks to have the twenty dol- lar bill back offering only $19. If the trick is discovered he adds the dollar bill, but if not he walks off with the $20 for which he has given but $19, He Ihas two accomplices who engage the other clerk in conversation while the game is being played., A Kippen Correspondent says:—A new method of bringing forth chickens has just come to light on the premises of Mr. John Sinclair, where a hen in the open field supplied herself with a suf- ficient quantity of eggs for a good setting, and then took to her tedious labor of three weeks of sitting, but in the course of, a week, through the. ex- cessive heat, she abandoned her task and left her nest. Mr. Sinclair's family being aware of it, left the eggs in the nest, thinking them useless, but to their surprise, after an absence of two weeks; on going to the nest, they found a batch of healthy chickens, looking around for a mother. It must be truly said that we are living in a fast age, and the poor hen will soon be relieved from her hard task of three week's la- bor. The Wingham Times says :—" A pet- ition has been circulated and largely signed by citizens, to be presented to the Minister of Justice asking commut• ation of the sentence of the prisoners now incarcerated for the Field assault of last winter. It is hoped that their sentences will be materially shortened. Four of the prisoners are heads of fam- ilies, of young children that are now without any means of support except what is gained for them by the mothers, none of whom are io good health. These men were lead to commit the crime, with a mistaken notion that they would be publiclythanked, and looked upon as public benefactors, be- cause of their actions. The thought of causing a death never entered their minds. The lawhas now been vindi- cated; people indicated;people of this country and es- pecially of this community have been taught a wholesome lesson and we be- lieve it would be in the interest of justice and mercy were these men set at liberty." Drew's Opera. Hall, which" was re- cently purchased by Mr. S. Gidley, is. uudergoi0g a thorough remodelling.. Mason's are now busily engaged erect, ing a new ;stage, much larger than' the old one, at the rear end of the hall and the, entire building will be' fitted up in the most elaborate modern style: When completed without a doubt it will take a prominent place with the best halls in Western Ontario. This is the way an exchange puts it:— This taking your best girl with you to get a marriage license, and having the family history of both of you explored by the courteous official for the benefit of the statisticians at Toronto, is not likely to make the matrimonial gate any easier to pass for the bashful youth and blushing maiden. It was hard enough for the amorous youth to get a license "on the quiet," without drag- ging the lady in, and whea the pair have to put in an appearance they are bound to have an idea of what is going on. One would think that the Legis lature might have found out a less lis couraging way of encouraging mat- rimony. James-st. Church 'Meetings Next week Financial district meeting on Mon day; Epworth League, on Tuesday and Tuesday evening. On Wednesday, Thursday and.

We cannot make this great offer without a loss, but we are determined to run the circulation of the ADVOCATE up to high water mark. It's a Duty to Advertise rt is a duty of every man who can do a thing well, who makes a good thing, who sells a good thing, to tell people about it. The people can afford to pay the expense of being told. The maker and dealer can afford to make the investment which may be neces- sary to inaugurate a systematic method of telling. In other words, any maker of a good thing, and any regular deal- er in a line of good things should con, sider the investment in advertising in this light. It is simply buying public favor, A business man buys what he wants, The County Division. Judge Creasor, of Owen Sound, and Judge Jones, of Brantford, will corn• mence their labors at Goderich on Sept. 16, for the division of the county, under the new County Couucil Act. The population of the county is in the neighborhood of 65,000, which will en- title it to the highest representation under the act, viz., 18, Judge Jones, we belive, is the oldest judge in the Province. Judge Doyle states that in other counties, so far as his experience has gone, the division has invariably given entire satisfaction.

Very general and deep regret is ex- pressed at the death of Miss Emily Thomas, who crossed the dark stream which separates us from 'eternity, on Saturday morning last, at the age of 27 years and 6 months. It is a little over a year since Miss Thomas showed signs of ailment, during which time she bas been gradually growing weak- er, though at times apparently better, her disease which was of a pulmonary nature, was making fatal progress and she was steadily waning in strength. For some time past all hopes of her recovery were given up but her buoyant spirits enabled her to resist the ravages of disease much longer than was expected. A cheerful loving friend, kind and true as she was intelli gent and good, she leaves behind here the fragrance of a pure life that will remain while memory lasts. Her dis• tressed mother has the heartfelt sym pathy of the entire town and neighbor- hood, No Written words can convey to her the condolence extended in her behalf; nor will words afford any re- lief in the sore trial of affliction into which she has"just been plunged. The funeral took place on Tuesday to the Exeter cemetery and was largely at, attended, The casket bore several beautiful floral mementoes showing the high esteem in which she was held. by her many friends, The pall bear- ers were: --Messrs. John C. Gould, Frank Plewis, Geo, Thomas, Johnathan Manning, George Eacrett and John: Hinds, Among those who attended the funeral from a distance we noticed the following:—•Mr.. and Mrs, Samuel Thomas and three sons; Mrs. William Thomas, Burlington; Mr. Frank and Mrs, David Piewis; Mrs. Wm.
