A good joke is told at the expense of a number of our noble sports in town. It appears a certain person had seen a large flock of wild duck in a pond a short distance out in Usborne, and thinking it would afford a good bit of sport for a few, passed it around to a few of the " boys " on the quiet. Long before day break those in`possession of the secret, with gun in hand and an ample supply of ammunition hied them selves to the spot of the anticipated sport, not one of the number knowing of the presence of the other. They all secreted themselves in ambush and waited for their game. Eventually day began to break, and a small flock of duck flew in. One of the number spying the long sought game, took aim and fired, but fell short of the mark, when lo! and beholdlit was then discov- ered, to the great surprise of all, that no less than fifteen persons were sur- rounding the pond. An invitation having been sent out 8y J. E.+Tom, P. S. I., to all parents of scholars to attend at the Public School, on Tuesday afternoon a few of them attended and were well pleased they did. so. The junior forms first assemb- lectin the room of Miss May, under the fare of Misses Pringle, Ball and May. They went through their program very well, the recitation of Master Wesley Phair being above the average. The behaviour was good and reflects great credit on their teachers. The Reeve and Mr. Huston then addressed them. After this the visitors were escorted by Mr. Tom to another room where the senior scholars were in attendance. inspector Tom first addressed them in a masterly al,d patriotic speech and it augurs well for the success of the s�ehools under his supervision to have such a gentleman to look after them. his speech he mentioned that a di- piama had been granted the school and reminded the trustees that they had failed to fulfil a promise to have plc tures and a flag granted the school, which was one upon which the diploma was granted. The scholars then gave some well rendered songs, after which they were addressed by Rev. Martin, Messrs. Hurdon, Ross, Huston and the Reeve. -In reference to the flag for the gehe ool Mr. Hurdoa proposed that each aaholar give a cent, or more and so let them be the owners of it and it would give them an interest in it, and they would care more for it.

May 1,o$e Itey, Bunt, The Owosso ;Mich,) Evening Argus has the following concerning a former rector of Exeter:—" Rev. E. W. Hunt, rector of Christ Episcopal church of this city, has been extended a call to become rector of St Paul's Episcopal church of Lansing, The call came .ns' a surprise to Rev. Hunt. Ile occupied t spent Sunday and Monday under the that pulpit as a supply last Suedes-, parental roof here. having had no previous intonation that a call would be given him. His sermous were such masterly successes that the vestrymen of the Lansing church 'unanimously decided to invite the Owosso rector to their church. The church hae been without a rector for some time. Not only has Rev. Hunt this flattering prospect before him, but he has received an unofficial call from prominent church in Detroit, and is told on good authority that he will be able to take has choice between the two, with a possible preference for the Detroit parish. Tho outlook is very flattering for Rev. Hunt, The vestry. men of Christ church are opposed to his resignation, but it will likely be handed in next week. During his two years and a half residence in this city, Rev. Hunt has done a good work for his church and for the city. His outside work has been directed espec- ially towards the poorer population of the city. He has many friends who will regret his departure from the Owosso parish. Owosso was Rev Hunt's first parish in the United States, Exeter, Ont., being the appointment. Last before coming here." Exeter School Board Minutes.

We have received from The Poole Printing Company, Limited, Toronto, Ont., a copy of " His Brother's Keeper," by Charles M. Sheldon, the well-known. author of "In His Steps." This is not only a delightful story, told in an in- teresting manner, but is full of helpful- ness. One of the greatest problems of the day is ably dealt with. The scenes in the mining region are based upon events which occured during the,great strike among the iron miners in the summer of 1895, and which was wit- nessed by the author. Everyone should read it. The Poole Printing Company, Limited, Toronto, have already publish• ed seven of Sheldon's books, and every one is having a very large sale.
