the parties concerned having arrived
at asettlement, Mr. Creech agreeing
to pay $50 and costs, amounting in all
to 8100. The circumstances of the case
are well known to the public and it
really seems too bad that Constable

Laerosse Match.
Au exciting lacrosse match was
played en the grounds here on 'Monday
of this week, between the St, \larys and
Exeter teams and resulted iu a victory
for the home team, by a score of 8 to 2.
In spite of heavy rain in the moruing
and a very cloudy sky in the earlier
part of the afternoon, the hours for play
were crowned with sunshine, although
the air was very cool, especially for the
spectators. The largest crowd that
has greeted a game in Exeter for a
number of years cheered the good plays
and laughed at the errors of the play-
ers. As this was the third match play-
ed by those two teams every person ex-
pected a very close and exciting game.
In this they were not disappoiuted as
the teams were evenly matched and
some hot work was done. Neither
team, taken generally, did anything
like good work, but there was some
good individual playing' done by mem-
bers of both teams. By all odds the
strongest point in ;,the Exeter team is
the centre. 'In the opinion of all, Exe-
ter has a swifter centre than any other
team in the aistriet, 11 they could but
handle their sticks. The teams linea
up in position about 4:15 o'clock. The
first goal was easily scored by Joe Zin-
ger in fifty-nine seconds. After the
usual fire -minute rest sticks were
again crossed and Joe scored by an ex
celient long distance shot in 21 minates,
This was followed by a third goal for
Exeter just before half time was called.
The score now stood 8 to 0 in Exeter's
favor. After a fifteen minute rest the
game again commenced and it was
plainly seen that the Exeter boys were
pretty well fagged although the St.
Marys team seemed in good shape and
played with more energy than during.
the first half. During this half there
is some very rough work done by both
teams, which necessitated the laying off
of sono of the men for a few minutes.
Per, half an hour the St. Marys home
pushed on the Exeter goal heavily, but
Vincent repeatedly east the ball baelr
as fast as it came until one slipped
through by a shinney scoop of one of
the St. Marys boys. This was soon fol-
lowed by a pretty score for St. Marys
by Jefferson. This throw was slow and
should certainly have been stopped by
one of our defence players but it slip.
ped through them easily and went
through the poles almost unknown to
Vincent -it being in a direct line with
the setting sun. From this time on the
St. 14Marys team vainly endeavored to
make the score even, buttime was cal -
ted too soon and the game finished in
"Exeter's favor by a score' of three to
two goals.

On Tuesday of last week, Rev. H, E.

tween the chain and the sprocket
wheel, smashing it badly. It will be

siderable inconvenience.
On Tuesday - of last week, Daniel
Kernick, of the Thames Road, met with
a serious accident. He was at his son's
Frank, on the 5th, con., assisting with
the harvest. They were engaged un-
loading hay with fork and sling, and
while moving part of the load to the
mow,it swung suddenly to one side and
knocked Mr. Bernick off the rear of
wagon, a considerable distance, to the
ground. He fell on his back, three of
his ribs being broken near the spine.
For some time he lay in a critical con-
dition, but is now improving.
The London Free Press says :—" Wm.
.1. Wilson, of the township of Biddulph
yesterday laid an information before
Squire Lacey charging James Fare
well, late of St. Marys, with the theft of
a horse, buggy, set of single harness, a
robe, horse blanket and halter. Fare

of three years in Kingston Penitentiary
for fraud, but an effort mew be made
to bring him here and have him placed

ago, by his: escape from a St. Mary's
constable, whom he struck in the
stomach with a wrench, and also by
his .jump from a rapidly -moving train
while en route fromGoderieb to King
ton Penitentiary. The ; officer who
was accompanying Farewell to the pris-
on jumped after him and broke his leg.
.Farewell is supposed to have stolen
Wilson's outfit on the night of May 3.
Wilson had been at Granton during
the evening, and on returning about
11 o'clock put his horse and rig in
