St. Rlarys Defeated,
The lacrosse match on Tuesday af-
ternoon last, between the St. Marys
and Exeter teams, resulted lu a vietory
for the home team by a score of 9 goals
to 4. A good crowd was in attendance
and they were rewarded by a good
clean match, and a pretty and sclera•
tint exhibition of the game. Judging
from the score piled up by the visitors
at St. Marys a few weeks ago, it was
thought the home team would have
more than their hands full, and betting
odds were against them. The ball was
faced shortly after four o'clock, and
the game started in dead earnest.
Farr succeeded in scoring for the vis-
itors in less than two minutes, which
indeed increased betting anxiety fur
St. Marys considerably. Exeter boys
then began to get on their metal, and
after about five minutes hard play
Buggins for Exeter made a pre ty
shot on the goal and scored, followed
by Stanley for the visitors in about
half a minute. Both teams at this
stage of the game were in excellent
shape and all seemed to play with an
eager determination to win. Snell for
Exeter succeeded in scoring the next
goal in five minutes, after which they
came quite thick for the home team,
scoring no less than eight straights by
the following players viz: Whitely,
Bissett, Whitely, Willis Snell, Buggins
and Buggins, respectively. The next
two goals were scored by Farr for the
visitors, thus making the score 9-4 in
favor of the home team. The combin-
ation of each team was exceedingly
good. Buegins and Whitely as usual
put up a star game fcr the home, and
in fact all put up a noble fight. The
St. Marys team certainly merit their
reputation in both play and being gen-
tlemanly, and the game throughout
was characterized by a harmony which
is not always apparent. Mr. Little, of
Parkhill manipulated the whistle and
gave good satisfaction as referee. The
next league game will be played July
7th, by the St. Marys and Parkhill
teams at St. Marys.

A. Fake horse Buyer.
The police all over Western Ontario
are looking for a man who gives his
name as J. E. Wilson and pretends to
be buying horses. He gets his board
free, is shown every atteution, borrows
small sums of money. and issues bogus
cheques on which he realizes all the
way fron 50 cents to $7. The pro-
vincial police sent out a circular des-
cribing him as a man of 55 or 60 years
of age, 5 feet 7 inches in height, weighs
145 pounds, and bas a moustache and
chin whisker, defect in right foot, very
neatly dressed and is always talking
about the war.

Harry Knott, a well-known resident
of Clinton and recently of the House of
Refuge, which be left without permis-
sion, is sojourning in Mitchell. Mr.
French went back to Grey on Wednes-
day to find, if possible, another inmate
who had gone off. At a meeting 'of
the Property Committee on Monday
night two tenders were received for
digging and curbing a well at cattle
peus, and the contract was awarded
to Jas. Ferguson, his tender of 70c.
per foot for the first 10 feet and a rise
of 20c. for each additional 10 feet be-
ing considered the lowest.
Snell —Lee.
On Wednesday afternoon last the
residence of Mrs. James Lee, London,
was the scene of a very pretty cere-
mony, it being the marriage of her
daughter, Miss Ida, to Warren Snell,
of Toronto, son of James Snell, town.
Rev. J. Snell, of Rodney, brother of the
the groom, performed the ceremony.
Miss Nellie Emery, of London, assisted
the bride, while A. Harwood, also of
London, acted in the capacity of
groomsman. The knot was securely
tied in the presence of a large number
of friends. The many beautiful and
expensive presents ably testify to the
popularity of the young couple, who
will in future reside in Toronto.
Mystery.
The Hensali Observer says :—" There
is considerable comment around town
over the mysterious disappearance of
Isabella Cook, daughter of Wm. Cook
of this place. The little girl had lived
in Michigan after the death of her
mother with friends, and the lady who
adopted her having died Wm, went
over a few months ago and brought
her home, where she remained till
about three weeks ago when she sud
A hound owned by Mr. S. Fitton was
badly scalded Tuesday by some un-
known person throwing bot water on
it. This is a very cruel and mean act
to be guilty of and the perpetrator
should remember that there is a heavy
penalty for such cruelty.
The Seaforth Expositor commenting
on the appointmeut of the new post-
master here says. " We notice that Mr.
Ed. Christie, au old Seaforthite, has been
appointed postmaster at Exeter. We denly disappeared. The lady with
congratulate our old friend on his good
fortune, and we are sure he will make
.a faithful, of&cieut and obliging offici-
al."
A correspondent says: We saw a
suggestion—we forget where—that re-
sidents in the country should put their
names at the entrance to their homes
This idea is a good one, and would
save business men and others much
trouble, and be the means of making
rural drives more attractive in the
course of time.
Our attention has been called to the
too frequent nuisance of people throw-
ing weeds and other rubbish on the
road, thus endangering lives by caus-
ing skittish horses to run away. Many
complaints come from Stephen and it
would he well for those guilty of such
to put a stop to it before heavy dam-
ages are brought upon them.
Not for a good many years has the
country looked so favorable to an im-
mense yield of all kinds of grain and
fruit as at the present time. The pres
ent coo) weather is just what was re-
quired to develop the fall wheat. Har•
vesting is expected to commence a
week earlier than usual. Many farm-
ers have been cutting their hay. The
agricultural outlook is everything that
even the most pessimistic farmer could
wish for, except the slump in prices,
whom she lived had bequeathed her a
considerable sum of money and we un-
derstand that there is now a regis-
tered letter for her in the post office.
Wm. says she left the house about mid-
night, and he can find no trace of her
whereabouts. The matter would bear
investigation."
A. Note to the Public.
It is expected that a great deal of
the work now imposed upon the dead
letter office may be obviated if the pub-
lic will pay attention to the request
which the post office department is
making by means of posters at all the
postoffices, asking that the name and
address of the writer or sender shall be
placed on the upper left hand corner of
all envelspes or wrappers. Ifthis is
done, the postmaster will at once com-
municate with the sender, instead of
sending the letter to the dead letter of-
fice. In addition to the saving in time
and labor, the public would in this way
be relieved of the unpaid postage
charges now made for the return of
small matiers through the dead -letter
office.
