The Crediton and Exeter Junior base, ball teams will play a game here to- day (Thursday.) This promises to be an interesting game. As usual a large number attended the annual strawberry festival at Cen- tralia Dominion Day, while a number went to Grand Bend, Mr. Charles Christie, of Stephen, re- ceived the sad intelligence Wednesday last that his brother, 'Duncan, had been killed by the train at Oxford Mills. The publication of the results of the recent promotion examinations of the Exeter public school will necessarily be a little later this year than usual. Willis Powell has in his .possession an individual strawberry which is made up of twelee good sized berries. It was picked from Mr, Rich. Williams' patch. Mr. \Vm. Dunsford has a field of wheat which is probably as gcod as will be found in the county being ex- tra heavy and averages about seven feet in length. Mr. Wee. Bissett disposed of not less than three Dearing binders, seven mowers and two horse rakes during the past week. This speaks well for the Dearing machinery. Saturday and Sunday last were the two hottest days we have had this sea- son. The thermometer registered 91 in the shade on Saturday and on Sun day between three and four o'clock 94. A friendly game of baseball was played on the Jubilee Park Tuesday evening between the Jubilee Stars and a picked nine, resulting in favor of the former by a score of 17 to 9. .Burglars tried to make a raid on a hardware store iu Brussels Tuesday night. The mode of operations were similar to those carried into effect here recently and doubtless by the same parties. A'Minnesota editor says he wrote a strong article on patronizing home in- dustry and one of the store keepers wrote to hen thanking him for the sentiment, ou a letter head printed in Chicago. A certain individual in town • while tampering with the electric wires one night last week received an electric shock which he doubtless evill not for- get for some time to come, ft was some time before he fully recovered. Many bicyclists habitually leave their wheels where they will be exposed to strong sunlight. This will soon take all the life and elasticity out of a tire, and do it more damage than matey thousaud miles of hard riding would Messrs. Williams, MeDonell and Day shipped three carloads of horses to Liv. erpool market on Saturday last. There were 40 iu all and were as fine a lot of averaged horses as ever left this town. Mr, Williams accompanied them. Mr. T. B. Carliog received word on Tuesday that Hugh Balkwill, son of Mr. John Baikwill, formerly of Exeter, had been run over by the ears and killed His many schoolmates and friends here will learn with regret of his untimely end. Percy Dun -ford, son of Mr. William Duesford, of the Lake Road, Stephen, while loading hay in the field was overcome by the intense heat of the sun on Monday and fell oh'`' the load, He was removed to the house and after a few hours fully recovered. Mrs H. Lambrook -picked ''a straw- berry in her garden the other day whish measured 7 inches around. It was indeed a large berry but we had the pleasure of testing the palatableness of a much larger one the other day brought in by H. Buckingham, it mea- suring nine inches in circumference,. and was grown in his father's garden. Next! Come soon and often. Frank. the young sone of Mr, Henry Hooper, William Street, unfortunately liad his leg broken ou Thursday last. Ile had been sent to drive a caw outof, his father's lawn when the animal, which was partially blind, happened to run over him and brake his leg at the ankle. It will be some time before he will have the use of the limb again. The Toronto.

Mr.h r Jo ! P. Ross had the misfortune to step on a rusty nail Saturday which ran into his foot at some length and caused a painful wound. Dashwood post office has been au- thorized to grant and pay money or- ders. This will be a great ccuvenincee to the people of that section. A Clanton correspondent says:-. " While preaching his first sermon in. his new charge on Sunday morning, Rev. Mr. Clement, of Ontario street Methodist Church, was overcome by the heat and fainted in the pulpit. He recovered, however suffieiently to take. the service ui the evening," The heat at the Military Camp, Car- ling's Heights, London, Sunday night was something unbearable says the London Advertiser, Speaking of the 33rd Battalion it says -"The Thirty- third were put through field maneuv ers this morning, and one of the ser- geants described the men as falling over like a lot of pins in a bowling alley. Nothing serious however, re- sulted, as the men in Huron Battalion possess a physique capable of great en- durance," The Jubilee edition of the Canadian Home Journal, published in Toronto, has just reached us.

Bir Drop in Bicycles. A New York despatch says the bi- cycle pool is broken. After years of organization the ironclad agreement has gone to smash, and with it the prices of high-class wheels have slumped. The Pope Manufacturing Company announced that the price of the Columbia '97 bas been reduced 25 per cent. The J. P. Lovell Arms Com- pany came forward with a similar an- nouncement. It is believed the big bi cycle rate war is on and the public will get some cheap wheels this summer, Exa.ninacionr. During rhe past week the En- trance and Public School Leaving Ex- aminations have been in progress all over the Province of Ontario. About twenty-two thousand candidates wrote on these two examinations, viz., about eighteen thousand on Entrance, and about four thousand on Leaving. -Last year Huron passed more at the Public School Leaving examination, than any other county in the province, having passed 153. Simcoe was next, but far in the rear, with 98, and Middlesex 96. Huron passed one tenth of all that pass ed in the province. During' the same year Huron passed 486 Entrance can- didates, or one -twenty-third of all that passed in Ontario. Narrow Escape A peculiar accident with a fortunate ending happened here last week to Miss Glenn, of Lumley, who came here to write at the departmental examine, tions. On Thursday afternoon she was. taking a ride south on her bicycle and when in front of Mr. T. B. Carling's residence she rnet three cattle owned by Mr. D. Davis The day was very warm and one of the beasts which seemed to be infuriated by the heat, made a bound at her, knocking her off the wheel and began goring her with its horns. Luckily however, this did not. last long, the beast being so overcome with. the heat that she fell prostrate to the ground, doubtless these `saving the young lady from an untimely- end. The animal was at once killei to pre- vent any further damage. Peraonai: Mention Miss Lotti Jefferson, 's e0Marys, f Se, i visiting friends iu tow. Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Brenner, of Grand Bend, were iu town Tuesday. A, Coffin took in the'L 0. F. excurs ion to Sarnia and Detroit last week. Mrs. John V. Crocker is at present eoniined to the house with a sprained ankle.

Mr. Arscott Walters, who has been suffering from paralysis for some time, was taken worse about a week ago and is now in a very critical con- dition and not expected to recover, Bold Robbery.. Exeter seems to be getting notorious for burglaries. On Monday night last thieves entered the private residence of Mr. R. H. Collins by means of a cel- lar window and after ransacking the lower part of the house carried away a small money bank containing three or four dollars and two rings belonging to Mr. Collin's little daughter, Katie. It seems they. made themselves quite at home while there and apparently enjoyed their visit very much, judg- ing by the amount of good things that were made scarce. The inmates of the house were all sleeping upstairs at the time and did not hear the slightest noise. From where the money bank was taken there was a large quantity of silverware, but it was left untouched. It seems it was money they were after. Council Proceedings.

As the result of the agitation against the payment of railway charges on bi- cycles, the railway companies have is sued a new tariff which considerably reduces the cost of the transportation of wheels. A circular is out giving the rules which will govern the transporta- tion of bicycles. For transporting cycles or similar ve• hides having more than one seat, an additional charge will be made of 50 per cent. of the bicycle rate for each additional seat. When the:bicycle rate is 25 cents. the rate for a two seated cycle would be 40 cents, and for a trip- let 50 cents, and so on. • Lamps, cyclometers, bells, tool bags and other attachments should be re- moved before the bicycle er similar ve- hicle is presented. If this is not done the owner must sign release on back of strap portion of bicycle ticket for such articles before the bicycle will be ac- cepted for transportation. Bicycles will be forwarded on passen- ger trains only for passenger accom- panying them and presenting passage tickets, but not more than one vehicle for each passenger. Cycles or other vehicles crated, weighing over 250 pounds, will not be carried on passeu ger trains,' The following is the scale of charges:.
