Worth knowning.
Reports of the destruction of live
stock by lightning, when adjacent to
wire fences,are becoming quite numer-
ous., In fact the occurence is too fre-
ent, and the losses too heavy to be
sitleassa,nt, and the situation is aggrava-
ted by failuw e to apply precautions
that would avoid the losses. A ground
wire every twenty rods on a wire fence
will ward off all danger. Bend an end
g •ound wire—plain fence wire—
=mind the top wire of fence and then
around each succeeding wire, and fin-
ally run wire into the earth fully two
fit, or where the end will always be
moist. An iron rod sharpened at the
cad will snake a hole for the wire.
The job is easily done, the cost is al-
most nothing, and danger to animal or
man is avoided.
Pe casts for August.
.A regular storm period lies between
the 7th and 12th. It is central on the
a£h and will culminate from the 8th to
the filth. Great increase in temper-
ature, with corresponding fall of the
barometer. will pass like a wave from
west to east during this period. Black
blustering cloud, thunder and high
winds, with possibly cloudbursts isaatteredIocali ties, may be expected, but
we- do not believe that a sufficiency of
Trina will be diffused generally over the
asuntty. This period leads into a mer-
cury period, and that in turn, leads
rat() the earth's autumnal equinoctial
period. Hence a prolonged threaten-
ing state of the weather will be very
natural, with increased and positive
rea-ctionary storms an the 15th, 16th
and !7th. A vapid, but temporary
rise of the barometer will follow
these storms, with brief respite from
.i tngnst heat.

A well-informed correspondent says:
In Huron, one of the greatest apple -
producing counties, the crop this year
is considered only fair. The quality
is, on the whole, good. The Baldwin,
the old stand-by, is a light yield; so
are the Spies and Twenty -Ounce.
pp ag.is.i,
Kings and Ben D< . a are fairly ing >��i>; y plenti-
ful, Russets are tine year a full crop
and Greenings the best crop probably
of all. Snows of good quality are, as
usual, scarce. Early apples area good
crop. After a couple of years, the
Duchess is again very plentiful, and
75 cents a barrel is what the farmers
realize for these. The price for winter
apples is not expected to be high.
Pears and plums are an unusually
light oro , throughout the county.
Struck by Lightning,
The Globe of Thursday in an account
of a storm at North Battleford stated
the following regarding former Exeter
people s escape: a
cyclonic fury, and the Baptist church,
a building 20x37, was lifted from the
foundation and carried a distance of
eight feet, being badly wrecked. The
cottage of J. Gregory, Dominion land
agent, was struck by lightning and
the interior greatly damaged. The
members of the family were all inside
at the time, and, with the exception of
Mrs. Gregory, who suffered a slight
shock, all escaped. A. little baby was
sleeping directly under where the bolt
struck, but although covered with
plaster and debris, it was not injured.
Two shacks were also overturned, but
fortunately they were unoccupeid."

The search for Miss Jessie Robertson
who is supposed to be lost somewdere
in Montreal, continues with unabated
vigor. According to the latest infor-
mation with regard to her wherea-
bouts she has been traced to the

tion, and alsc to three or four houses
in the neighborhood where she had
applied for lodgings. There, however
the clue ends, and so far the search
has been fruitless.
The Exeter Gun Club, recently chris-
tened "The Huron Indians," held a
shoot on Civic Holiday for a handsome
silver medal, which they recently pur-
chased. The medal is to become the
property of the shooter who wins it
five consecutive times. On Thursday
it was won by "Chief Well. Tookit"
who got 17 out of a possible 20. The
scores out of 20 were:—S. Fitton 12;
W. Johns 17; D. Hartleib 9; T. Carling
15; F. Triebner 15; T. Barer 8; W, E.
Sanders 6.
The quoit club went to Seaforth Civ-
ic Holiday and played a friendly game
with the quoiters of that town. The
total result was in favor of Seaforth
by a score of 180 to 154. The games,
with the exception of one, were close
and interesting all the way through.
The one exception was that of Baker
and Boyle. The latter had practised
scarcely any this season and had an
off day. The Treble -Reid game prov-
ed interesting as was expected. They
are old opponents and Treble has al-
ways won out, although Reid has giv-
en him some hard games. On Thurs-
day their score at one time stood 29 to
22 in favor of Reid, but Treble "put in
the plug" and reached the 31 before
his opponent again scored. The other
games were good as the score will

The service in the Trivitt Memorial
church took en a special form Sunday
morning last, the occasion being the
induction of the -David Walter Collins,
late of Birr. - The interesting, impres-
sive ceremony was conducted by the
Ven. T. B. Richardson, Archdeacon of
London in the presence of a large con-
gregation. The Church Wardens,
Messrs. Knight and Hawkins delivered
the keys to the newly installed rector.
The induction service over the Arch-
deacon then occupied the pulpit and
delived an excellent discourse, after
which Holy Communion was admin-
istered to a large number of church
members. In the evening Mr. Collins
took charge of the service and his in-
troductory discourse was of a deep
spiritual character and listened to with
deep interest. Mr. Collins commences
his duties under the most favorable
circumstances, with every promise of
a bright and useful career.
Marriage.
,A very quite yet pretty wedding was
clebrated at the James St. Methodist
Parsonage, Exeter, on Thursday even-
ing, when Mr. Sydney West and Miss
Lizzie Reeves were made man and
wife. The interesting ceremony was
performed by the Rey. A. Going in
the presence of a few friends. Mr.
James Jewell and Miss Down assisted
the young couple. The bride was very
prettily attired in anavy blue suit and
white silk waist with hat to match,
presenting a handsome appearance.
At the conclusion of the ceremony the
happy couple repaired to the home of
Mr. and Mrs. James Jewell where a
few friends had gathered to give .the
bride a hearty welcome to our midst,
she having arrived the previous Mon-
day from Carventry, Eng., and also to
congratulate her and her worthy .hus-
band on the advent of their married
life. This being done the guests were
invited to the dining room where a
dainty and delicious tea was served,
after which all enjoyed a very pleas-
ant evening. The groom is also a na-
tive of England but has been a resi-
dent of Exeter for two years, follow-
ing the occupation of mason. Mr. and
Mrs. West have taken up their resi-
dence
esidence in the house recently vacated by
Edward Harness, on Carling street,
and we trust their future may be one
long season of happiness, coupled with
health and prosperity.

A pleasant event took place at 'the
home of Mrs. Thomas Snell, Huron st.,
on Monday afternoon, when about
twenty of her most intimate friends
assembled to help celebrate her sixty-
sixth birthday. The afternoon was
very pleasantly spent in social chat.
It was indeed a happy crowd that sat
down to the well-filled table and par:
tookpf a dainty tea. At the conclus-
ion of this the gathering was called to
order when Mr. 0. H. Sanders came for-
ward and gave an address, after which
Mrs. Wm. Dearing, sr., on behalf of
the guests, presented Mrs. Snell with
a handsome fruit spoon and a half-doz-
en teaspoons, which testified to .the
high esteem in which she is held by
her many friends. It was with eiuch

Death of William Westcott.
The sad news of the death of Mr.
William Westcott of Seaforth was re-
ceived with much surprise and regret
by his relatives and friends here on
Monday. Death always brings with
it sadness and gloom and this sad
event is no exception to the rule. As
deceased bad not been lard aside from
the active duties of life by long illness
news of his death came startlingly
sudden and unexpected. Mr. West-
cott was a native of the township of
Ushorne, having been born on the sec-
ond concession. The most of his early
life was spent in tbat.townsbip and he
then moved to Exeter where he resid-
ed for many years. On leaving here he
moved to Seaforth where he has resid-
ed continuously ever since. For some
time at intervals the deceased's mental
faculties have been impaired, conse-
quently he has hadhis shareof life's dis-
couragetnents, To him life must have
lost its charm,when he could hid a:last,
farewell to his loved ' ones and then
take the fatal draught that's() quickly
caused the spark of life to go - out. De-
ceased was aged 51 years, 6 months,
