The Corporation of the Village of Exeter and the Gibb Company and the corporation and The Connor Com- pany havo entered into agreements on which the by-laws are based. The by- laws which are published elsewhere tell what the town is expected to do in each ease. We have taken the time this week to examine care -fully copies of the agreements, and for the infor- mation of the public we herewith nen- tion in concise form what each com- pany agtees to du. The Gibb Company agrees to con- tinue the business already established; to make the land, building, plant, machinery, etc., worth at least $30(10; to have a seven kiln plant installed and ready for operation not later than August 1st, 19%; to operate the plant not less than three months each year for ten years; to employ not less than twenty-five bands; to pay the costs of submitting the by-law in case it passes; to repay the $500 if the company does not live up to the agreement; and fur- ther to give the corporation a lien on the plant for ten years. On reading over this agreement the s►rrprising thing to us is that the company would agree to such terms. Everything seems to be in favor of the town. When the amount of labor they will pay for is considered we canoot but conclude that from the town's point of view the industry is to he bad at a re- markable bargain. Looking at the Connor agreement we find another bargain for the people of Exeter. The Connor Motor and Machine Company is to be n joint stock company with a capital of $1(100 to he formed in 190S. A factory for the manufacture of gasoline engines will be acquired; the land, building, plant, etc., shall be worth at. least $10,- 000; to be operated at least ten years; if they fail to operate for ten years $50 a year will be paid back to the town for the years when not operated. In case the company is not formed in the present year Connor Bros. will pay for the submitting of the by-law. No money is to be paid the company until the $I0,000 plant is erected. The Cor- poration is to hold a lien nn the plant for the ten years. The value of this industry is indisputable and meets we believe with the consent of all citizens. The gasoline engine manufactured by Connor Bros. is a good one and the demand for these engines for small mechanical work and farm work is very great. Connor Bros. are straight- for*eard, reliable men and the town may expect nothing but a straight deal from such men. From The ADVOCATE of 20 Years Ago. Exeter, March 29, 1888.

POWEi.L, Exeter Heavy Storms Friday Night. A very heavy thunder and light- ning ato.ut passed over Huron County on Friday night. No damage was done near 1'xeser and only those who tare troubled by such storms during the night knew that anything unus'ttl was occulting. Other places seem to have been struck heavily by the el,•- utents. At Brucefleld reports say that no such amount of rain had fallen itt so short a time in thirty years. Two culverts ate repotted washed away near that place, with the result that the trains were unable to pa8s north or south on Saturday morning. A great deal of fence was also washed away. Things have been righted since, Hensel!, March 2801.--A disastrous thunderstorm passed through this sec- tion last night. Several tires were vis- ible from Hensall. Considerable dam- age was done inthe village with water. as the thunder and lightning were ac- companied with almost a flood of rain. The cellar of Mr. Hemphill's drug store was flooded, causing a damage to goods stored there to the amount of $200.00. Several other business places were likewise flooded, besides private residences. Work in some of the mills and foundry bad to be suspended owing to those places being under wa- ter. The street and sidewalks in some places in the village at -e covered to the depth of several inches. Drains are blocked and refuse to carry off the wa- ter, causing it to backup in the cellars. It will take a few days for the water to entirely run away. Clinton, March 28th.—The Stapleton tramway, connecting the Ransford Salt Works with the G. T. R„ is in danger of being washed away by the flood, and is now several feet out of place. During the night the shipping room of Fair's flour mills was flooded, there being about 18 inches of water, and as a result several hundred dollars' worth of flour was damaged. Mr. Pair claims it was a defective town drain that caused the damage, and the Council will be asked to settle. The electrical storm which passed over this district during the night wits very se- vere. A farther named Smith, living on the fourth concession of Stanley, lost his barns by fire. Lightning was the cattle. The G. T. It. train which left here this morning at 0.20 ran into a washed- out culvert about half way between here and Seafortb, and a bad wreck is the result. The train was in charge of Conductor James Lavell, with Jas. Farr as Engineer, and Fireman Colbey, all of Goderich. The engineer had his leg hurt, and was also cut around the face, and the firemen suffered more seriously, having a number of his ribs broken, and is otherwise injured. Fortunately the accident happened in a cut, or it would have been more seri- ous. As it was, the front of the en- gine ploughed into the embankment, and the tender flew off on the other side. The baggage car and two of the coaches are all stripped of their trucks and are sideways on the track, while the parlor car spans the track. Hay Dem-rt.—Slowly but surely the old pioneers of this township are passing away.
