Hur- don's sons on Saturday afternoon sav- ed the structure known as Snell's bridge, on the sideroad three miles west of town, from being destroyed by fire. The little fellows with their father had been frogging down the stream, and on their returning to the road they noticed the bridge on fire and immediately called Mr. Hurdon who was still some distance down the stream., Together they succeeded in putting out the blaze and saving the bridge. A few moments more and the fire would have gained such headway that it would have been impossible to have extinguished it. The boys de- serve praise for their action. Had the *aridge been destroyed it would have occasioned a loss of over two thousand dollars. The origin of the fire is un- known. Concert to School Children. Mr. Robt. Sanders, having purchas- ed a magnificent gramaphone, gaye a free concert of an hour and half in the Exeter Town Hall, to the children of the Exeter Public and High School, on Friday evening. Mr. H. E. Huston acted as chairman. Mr, Wilber Mar- tin assisted Mr. Sanders to manipulate the machine. The children and teach- ers present spoke in loud praise of the selections and of the great power of the grainaphone. The selections were all good. We never heard "The Good Old Summer Time" and "Lead Kindly Light" so well rendered. Mr.• P. Hooper moved and Mr. O'Brien second- ed a hearty vote of thanks given Mr. Sanders for his kindness in giving the children such a treat. The children supported the resolution by a glad and loud acclaim. The concert was closed with a beautiful selection en- titled "Vesper Service" by the Haydn Quartet.—Cons. Stables and Live Stock Burned. About seven o'clock Monday morn- ing fire destroyed the large stables of Mr. Benjamiu Williams, Lot 16, Con. 7, Usborue. Three horses confined in the stable were burned to a crisp while three others were so badly burned that their recovery is considered very doubtful. Thirteen bogs also perished. The three horses that escaped from the building were forced to remain in- side until their halters were burned and the doors destroyed, when of their own accord they left the burning building contrary to the usual action of horses at such a time. Of theliving horses the one which was most severe- ly burned belonged to a young man named Francis, who had come to the farm that morningto work. The cause of the fire is unknown. The building was a mass of flames when first seen, and it is not known in what part of the stable tbe fire commenced. The loss is thought to be nearly covered by insurance. Death of Miss Hyndman. Early on Tuesday morning the death took place of Miss Anna Louisa Hind- man, sister of the late Dr. John Hynd- man, at the age of 77 years. The de- ceased had been a resident of Exeter for over forty years, during which time she had resided at the home of her late brother, on Huron street. She was a lady of kindly disposition and of exceptional intelligence, both of which she used to good purpose in her prom- inent connection with church and Sun- day school work. She was a faithful member of Trivitt Memorial church and until a year or two ago a teacher in the Sunday School. For several months the deceased had been in poor health; owing to nervous degeneration and thee infirmities ofold age. Duringi ng. the last few weeks she gradually a e s g ally sank until forced to keep her bed, finally becominunconscious, in which state she passed away as above mentioned. The funeral takes place today, (Thurs- day), at 2 o'clock, the remains to be taken to the Trivitt Memorial Church • where service will be held, after which We have secured a limited number of 000.00 Accident and Disease Policies In the Ontario Accident Insurance Co., one of which will be given to each pur- thaser of a suit of clothes to the value or $10.00 or oyer.

Hicks, the St. Louis weath- er prognosticator, has issued his bulle- tin of forecasts for the approaching month, from which the following ex- tracts are taken:—This month begins in the last stage of a storm -period cent- ral on June 29th, with fair and cooler weather following from the west. A reactionary storm period is central from the 4th to the 6th, ending in thunder and rain storms during these reactionary clays. A Mars equinoctial period covers almost the entire month of July, being central on the 28th and running into August. The Mars dis- turbance tends greatly to prolong the kind of weather prevailing at its be- ginning. If the general 'tendency is to excessive heat and light rains from the 4th to 6th, and from the 9th to the 14th, it will be safe to count on a pre- dominance of such weather nearly or quite up to September. Upon the other hand, should cooler weather and general rains and storms be tbe rule at these periods, much of the same kind of weather will characterize all the storm periods for the following six to eight weeks. About the 11th to 14th the central dates of the-secohd July storm period, no one should be sur- prised by a wave of excessive warm weather, culminating in many threat- ening storms and violent dangerous blustering. Heavy hailstorms, espec- ially to the west and north, will most likely attend these disturbances, in which event temporary change to much cooler may naturally be expect- ed. The 12th, 13th, and 14th are the days on which the culminating crisis of this period is to be looked for. On and touching the 17th, 18th and 19th the temperature will greatly increase, moving like a wave from west to east. Barometric unsteadiness and final fall to low readings will accompany the warmth, and many threatening storm clouds with thunder and bluster will take up their march eastwardly across the country. There will be serious lac of general, diffused rains. We candid- ly confess that we cannot foresee as yet the turn the weather and storms will take, in consequence of the Mar disturbances named above; but thi question will be fairly settled by th character of the pnenomena the firs half of July. A regular Vulcan stor period covers the 21st to the 24th, hay ing its centre on the 22nd. The mos casual observers and readers of weath- er reports will see that a wave of in- creased warmth, attended by failin barometer and other storm condition will pass eastwardly across the coun- try. A brief partial respite from grea warmth will, in every probability, n climax on and next to these dates. This is also a time when many seismic djsturbances may naturally be expect ed—probably not dangerous or des tructive in any place, but quite genera along the sensative earthquake zone of -the globe. If by any means heav and general rains should have falle at previous July periods --a result w candidly do not look for—the sam may be counted on at this period. I violent, tornadic storms have bee common during July up to this period —a thing we do not forsee—in all rea sonable probability they will recur i ,added force about this time. Our de cided opinion is that ,sustained sum mer heat, with n minimum of stor and rain followed by seismic phenome nu, will characterize this closing per iod in July. yet .7easted free.
