"Mr. Brokenshire near Dashwood apologises in last week's Exeter Advo - sate for certain statements made re specting Rev J. G. Yelland's conclud- ing. remarks at Sharon church. He then publishes the remarks which cer- tainly were not over complitnentry to thepeople, so that the correspondent was perhaps not so much astray after WV—Hensel' Observer.

A well-known writersays: Only those who have lived in a large town can realize the power and faeination of the home paper. The home newspaper comes first always, Everybody looks through every column to see if his or her name is iu the paper. Each bit of local gossip is read and discussed. Senn - times it is a. birth, sometimes it is a death, sometimes a marriage. No mat- ter what it is, every name mentioned i8 familiar to all, and for this one reason alone the home paper is prized above and beyond anything the " literary fel- low" can produce. You should always makeit a point to pay for it first snook the Grou.ud. The meteor observed by a number of Exeterites is thus referred to by the Collingwood Bulletin: ".On Tuesday evening, about 8:30, a very remarkable sight was observed in the sky. First a sudden and powerful blaze of white light which flashed across to the west of the town, and there seemed to burst like a rocket and fall to the ground. As it reached the earth a boom like distant but heavy thunder was distinctly heard. Many who were our aun saw at'd heard the strange phenomena, say that the ground shook beneath their feet. The light was followed by a long train of something resembling white smoke, which remained visible for about ten minutes." The Hid Summer Number. The August Number of The Deline- ator is ealled the liideummer Number, and presents many features which em- phasize the interest of the magazine for all members of the household. The ! article in the series op Amateur P.ho- tography, by Sharlot M. Hall, should I prove of practical value to the expert as well as the novice. A timely sketch on the Women of Cuba, by Kate Cov- entry, throws a bright light ou their household life and is intensely interest- ing. The Bugles Sang Truce, a ram- atic war story by Francis Lynde, is charmingly appropriate at this time, etc., etc. Subscription price of The Delineator, $1.00 per year, single cop- ies 15e.

During the past three seasons on the great lakes 90 vessels were lost, their total value being estimated at $2,011- 743. Of these losses nine were due to fog and 81 to gales. During the same seasons there were 181. casualties to -vessels, resulting in partial losses, es timated in the aggregate at $1,020,280, or a total loss of $3,032,023, Of the partial losses 74 were due to fog and 107 to gales, Iu these disasters there were 90 lives lost -50 in Lake Mich- igan, 26 in Lake Erie, eight iu Lake Superior, three in Lake Huron and three in Lake Ontario. The aggregate loss was swelled by the sinking of three fine steamers, the Cayuga on Lake Michigan, being valued at $325 000, and the Norman and Florida on Lake Huron, valued respectively at $163,000. and $160,000. The total loss resulting from foggy weather alone was $1,042,698. Lacrosse Match and Promenade Con- cert. An exhibition game of lacrosse was played here on the Athletic grounds between the Clinton and home team on Monday afternoon last, resulting in a victory for the visitors by a score of 5.2. The game did not prove as inter esting as was expected, the Clinton team showing lack of practise while the home team was composed of mostly juniors, there being only four of the league team takiue part. The prom- enade concert in the evening was a very pleasant and creditable affair. The evening was delightful and the attendance good, Mr, N. D. Hurdon, President of the Lacrosse club, filled the chair in his usual good-natured and happy style, and all seemed to en- joy themselves immensely. A lengthy program was rendered and an abund- ance of refreshments served. The hand interspersed many choice selections and did much to enliven the proceedings: Exeter School Board Minutes.

Following are the particulars res petting the pounding or taking ug of stray annuals : In ease the ,animal is a horse, bull, cow, sheep, goat, pig' or other cattle, if distained by a resi- dent instead of delivering the same to the poundkeeper, he may retaiu said animal in his own possession, provid- ing he makes no claim for damages. But notice in writing must be forth- with given to the owner, if known; and then if not known notice shall be given within 48 hours to the town- ship clerk, together with a description of the color, ago and natural and arti- ficialmarks on said animal. If the animal or anima's be worth $10 or more the distrainer shall advertise the same for three weeks, in a county pap- er. One month after being taken up, the distrainer shall advertise and sell same animal—three days' notice of sale to be first given. Out of the pro ceeds he is authorised to pay for ad- vertising, necessary care and trouble and for food of animals. Balauce, if any, if not claimed by the owner with in three months, must be paid to town- ship treasurer for local municipal pur- poses. Another fraud. Farmers should be on the look -out for a slick -tongued fruit tree agent who is " doing " many farmers in this section of the country with a most bare- faced fraud. Mr. Chas. Dinney, Lot 14 con: 10, Stephen, is one of the victims, and will doubtless pay dear for his, ex perienee. The mode of his proceedure is as follows :—He calls at a farm house and gets off the usual harangue of trying to sell fruit -trees. Not being able to effect a sale, and always (2) being hungry, asks the farmer if he can accommodate him with a meal, in return for which he will give two or three choice trees. Of course the far- mer is usually ttckled, and to show his gratitude gives his guest the best in the house, Before leaving, however, the farmer is asked to sign a document to show that said agent took dinner at such a place, and an order for two choice trees. The agent departs, and in a short time a large consignment of fruit -trees comes to the address of the farmer, and it is then he finds out that he has more "choice fruit" than he bar- gained for, and the document turns out to bean order. In Mr.,:Dinney's case he refused to accept the trees, and the firm is uow trying to force payment. The amount is 87.00, but may mean tea times that before settled. This should serve as a warning to farmers to be careful with whom they deal. Exeter 1^nblic School Examinations.

Au iuteresting investigation has been made recently in one of our cities as to the reasons why children of equally good capacity should rank so unevenly in their studies in the schools.. Pains were taken to learn from one class of fifty-five pupils enough about their habits out of the school to enable judgements to be made, The investi- gation showed that thirteen boys were permitted to be on the streets at night as late as half -past nine o'clock. Not one of theca ranked as high as thirtieth in the class. another grade in the class of fifty five was tried in. the same manner, Eight boys were habitually ou the street in the even Tugs, Not ono of them ranked as fortieth in the class. Another class of thirty-five investigated showed that six wore allowed the freedom of the streets at night, and every one of thein had spent two or three years passing the fourth. and fifth grades. One boy of fifteen years had spent nine years in t etting four and A half years sehooling Investigation also showed that in these classes examined, eighty five per cent, of the girls remainat home and read hooks and about one-third only of the boys never read at all.
