That the good news of the relief of Ladysmith on Thursday last was re- ceived with great rejoicing. in Exeter, goes without saying. Never was there a more enthusiastic, outburst of loyalty and patriotism manifested in the. his- tory of the town. As soon as the news was announced crowds began to amass, flags were hoisted. bunting stretched, the church bel/s set ringing, the fire alarm sounded a ncl the whole town went wild with joy. A half lioli- day was proclaimed by the Reeve, and the school was dismissed. At about three o'clock in the afternoon a guand procession was formed in front of the Town Hall and paraded Main street. The procession was made up of men on horseback, among whom was a strik- ing character of a typical representa- tive of John Bull, in the person of our much esteemed citizen, Mr. Robert Leathorn, who sat on his charger with the grace and elegance of a Duke, and who added much to the tone of the concoursent rig containing Dr. Rollins, Warden of the County; Reeve Bissett '10 Councillors Muir, Evans, Levett and Armstong; the Exeter Band; about thirty volunteers, with Mr. Geo.

The lecture aod entertainment given in Gidleys' Opera, House, on Tuesday evening was not greeted with its large an attendance as the entertainment deserved which was probably due to the had state of the roads. The Rev. Fore- ster,.of Toronto. gave his. popular lec- ture on "King. -William the Third," and fully sustained his repetation as a lecturer. His discourse Was indeed a model one and the eloqtietice with which it was given, was interesting in the extreme. The, quartette selection by Messrs. Ross, Senior, Poplestone andlRev. Martin was much appreciated as was also the solos by Miss E. Beet's, Miss 1. johns, Miss M. White, and Mr. Flemming.
