Did you ever notice how careless some people are about covering their horses, when leaving them standing on the street? Sometimes a blanket is thrown over the animals, but not se- curely fastened, and in a few minutes their coverings have blown off,and the poor dumb brutes suffer, sometimes for hours, from exposure to the biting winds. The severe storm commencing on Sunday and continuing till Wednes- day,was the worstoftheseason,laasand rendered the roads almost impassable in many places. The trains have not been impeded in consequence but near- ly all the stage routes have been. sew- ed np. The Exeter -St. Marys stage has not put in an appearance since Saturday. Mr. A. E. Hodgert has applied for a patent on his new steel silo moulds, or curbing for building cisterns and silos. The rings used, for which he has ap- plied for a patent, can be employed in hnildihg any size structure, from five to fourteen feet in diameter. Mr. Hod-. gert will fulfill a lot of contracts in this line the coming season, consequently his new device will serve a very effici- ent and -useful purpose in the prosecu- tion of the work. • At the last regular meeting of the 1.0.0.F. the following officers were duly installed for the ensuing year, vis:-J.P.(..
