Among the number of successful candidates in the recent Departmen- tal examintaions, the report of which appears elsewhere, we notice the names of the following from Exeter, viz:—Miss E.

A very exciting croquet contest was played at the Presbyterian picnic, held at Bayfield on Tuesday last between the Clinton and Exeter teams, result- ing in a victory for Exeter by a score of 9-0 (4 single and 5 double games.) The game was keenly contested from start to finish, and was watched with much interest. The Exeter players were Messrs. J. P. Ross and Geo. E. Anderson, while Mr. J. W. Broderick, formerly of the Exeter club; was on the opposing side.

A charming story by the author of "Davin Hamm" has reached us this week, An ltnusual- subject for re - mance the hero, a Bank Teller, fulls in love with the daughter of one of the directors, and the plot deals with the- difficulties and complications which ensue in an interesting and ad niirable manner.

Change hi Telephone Rates. • The Bell Telephone Company have announced a change in the rates which makes a material reduction in mes- sage rates between 0 o'clock p.m and S o'clock a.m. Formerly the rates were exactly the same for night mes- sages, but under the new order all messages over 23 cents shall go at half rate, provided the half is not under 25 cents. In other words, a subscriber could talk five minutes with to friend in Toronto between 0.11.m. and 8 a.m. for 25 cents instead of 50 cents, the regular rate. Supposing the rate is 35 cents, it is reduced to 25c. The charge practically only applies to long dis- tance rates. Council ,Proceedings. Council met at call of Reeve at Town hall, Any. 11th.

GEO. H. BxssE'T, Clerk. High Tribute. The Forest Standard of last week pays the following high tribute to the Rev. Dr. Willoughby, late pastor of the James Street Methodist church, Exeter, who appears to be meeting with popular favor in his new charge: "The first quarterly services for this conference year was held in the Meth- odist church, here on Sunday, Gth inst. The attendance at both services was very large and the number who re- mained at the love feast, fellowship meeting and the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was larger than usual. The Rev. Dr. Willoughby conducted the services both morning and evening and preached two very impressive ser- mons, the topic of the morning being the "Multiplying power of Christ" as shown by the feeding of five thousand with a few small loaves and fishes. The evening theme was " Where are the nine?" Ten lepers were cleansed and onlyone had returned to give thanks. The Dr. appears to be full of vigor and a most forceful speaker, yet so plain and simple in his utterances that from the youngest in the congre- gation to the oldest all may understand him. The Methodist people are fortun- ate in securing a pastor of such mature and ripe experience, consecrated .talent practical in conducting all the depart- ments of church work, and withal a devoted energetic worker in the, cause of Christ. We predict a prosperous year if the membership will rally around their pastor and second his ef- or•ts for the prosperity of the church n all its organized branches in For ors sofMo Montreal •aa nt al .xd I,achrate, send us adv anted proofs of their two new Pat- riotic Private Post Cards, which they are about to issue.

Probably there was Loot one out of the large number of spectators of last Friday evening's lacrosse match be- tween Exeter and Seaforth teams who expeeted to see the home team conte out victorious. Particularly so when the opposing aggregation lined up, but when the diminutive Exeter in- side home sent the rubber into the net'. the enthusiasm. knewno bounds end the Exeter stock was raised considerable. It took Seaforth. some time to even the score, but after that the visitors were g ' simply not in it, rtotivitlastzalydair„ they put upastrongdefenceand worked hard for victory, At the close of the game the score stood 4-1 in favor of Exeter. This was probably the best exhibition of lacrosse the peoplo of Exeter have had the pleasure of witnessing for some time. The best play of the even- ing was made hy Bart, Hooper, Sea - forth Wag playing to the South when a hot shot was made on the goal, but Bart's eagle eye perceived that if it reached there it was a sure scorer. He was several yawls from the goal but made a break and to the great surprise of all caught the ball in time to pre- vent an addition to the score.

Com a:mama In reply Mrs. Thomas thanked the ladies for the kind expressions and wishes and said she was not going away for pleasure, but more from duty and it was impressed upon her that it was the best thing to do and referred to having to leave many friends be- hind that she had known a long time. In conclusion said she had in View as her chief aim in life, to hear at the last the welcome sentence, "she hath done what she could." After a few short prayers the evening was spent in music, social pleasantry, refreshments, etc. ti aIGoJaGKd —if6"70e7ffliA TiNrbaliBoLaNas eATAreome ; PERSONAL. pe :aav :�:uessw..,o�ms..sozoaeQ,s>T�uwm Mr. H.
