"Pat" is dead. Ile was not an Irish- man; just an uncommonly intelligent canine of a mixture of breeds. Ile made his home at the A nvea'ATI Office and there he was a general favorite with proprietors, staff and "devil". He had been a noted fighter in his day; in fact, he was afraid of nothing bat a coonskin coat. Death was due to old age. His body now rests beneath the plum tree in the back yard. while his spirit is wending its way to the happy "Dogdom ('(.me." Mr. Ileo.

This school has attained a high rotate of excellence and competes successfully with High Mchool.i and Collegiate institutes. As Miss Gregory is the first lady principal 'n the history of the school it speaks well fot the ability of one so young to he chosen for such a position of re- sponsibility.

The Fsx•Coughliu entertainments on Monday and Tuesday- nights were eminently successful. Mr. Fax's ex- cellent qualities are too well-known for us to comment upon, suffice it to say be ranks with the very best enter- tainers in Canada. His selections showed careful preparation and his different renditions evoked uproat•ous and merited applause. The Coughlin family are clever musicians in every sense of the term, and their 3yet•y sel- ection was well received. The singing of little Miss Coughlin was charming. She possesses a sweet voice, a winning way and is quite at home on the stage. Horse frost Treasure Bart. Mr. Charles '1'.

Of his many discoveries the greatest is that of a miniature statue of Queen Thy, valued at $40,000. Ho intends returning to the East. An account of an interview in last Saturday's Globe is interesting. The Exeter School. The Exeter School has commenced the autumn term with the largest at- tendance of its history, the enrolment being considerably over 300 in all grades. Of these 96 are in the H. S. department, the three rooms of which are so well filled that the Board have had to increase the seating capacity in them. Three years ago the number in the H. S. department was in the "thirties", and it is expected to reach the hundred this year, so that the number in this department has been tripled in the three years. This is largely due to the fact that the pupils of this and surrounding villages, such as Hensel!, Dashwood, Centralia, Cred- iton, Elimville and others, can get ef- ficient courses at home in any of the three branches, viz: Comuiercial, Jr. Matriculation or Jr. Teachers' Work, and it certainly means economy as well as convenience to the parents of these communities, as without the local school, these pupils would have to go farther from their homes for their schooling. In the P. S. depart- ment the attendance has been well sustained, and the work handled with efficiency and success, second, we be- lieve, to that of no P. S. in this in- spectorate. In the recent department- al examinations, Entrance, Matricula- tion and Jr. Leaving, the school has had a very creditable share of success, having passed all its Entrance candid. ates, and a larger percentage of its Matriculation and Jr. Leaving candid- ates than many of the High Schools and Collegiates of sister towns. Al- though it is regrettable that there have been three teachers on the stat! to replace, the Board have been most fortunate in securing successors to them that promise to be all that can be desired, and thoroughly proficient in every respect. It is to be hoped that the parents of the town may com- bine heartily with the School Board and teaching staff to maintain the standard of the school, and co-operate with them in all that pertains to the welfare attd success of the school. Public Meeting. A public meeting called to discuss the pros and cons of the fly -law to he submitted to the property holders of the Village for the borrowing of such sum or sums of money as may he nec- essary, not to exceed in the whole $18- IMN), for the purchasing and installing an electric light plant and equipment, together with a suitable site. was he -Id in the Town Hall on Thursday might last. As is usual on such nccasrons the attendance was not large. This, how- ever, did riot prevent an enthusiastic discussion of the subject. Air. John W. Taylor was moved to the chair alai J. White secretary. The chairman briefly stated the object of the meeting but as he had no program he thought the proper peoceedure would be to call on some of the parties requesting the Reeve to call the rrneeting, he therefore would call on Dr. H()ilins. Tile D4 - on conning forward was received with hearty applause. In his opening re- marks he dwelt on the theme of pro- gression, but thought the people of Exeter were not progressive enough. He was going to vote for the By-law. The conditions were not the rnost fav- orable, bit he thought something aught to be done. The Doctnr intro- duced many facts and figures in sup- port of his arguments, and in conclus- ion advised his hearers to support the Hy -law. Coineitlnr Levett was present and took en opposite view to that of the Doctor. Ile did not consider the pres- ent an opportune time for the submit- ting of such a by-law. His reasons for this were that in all probability the Conmee Act would soon be repealed, there the town would 1a' in a better position to deal with the :natter; and urther that in view of the fact that Niagara power k likely to he distri but• ed throughout Outer iu whereby pow- er in all liklihood mould be great- ly cheapened. Ile differed with the Doctor on the expense of running a plant, and concluded by stating that for these and other reasons he could not support the ily-law. Mr. A. Q. Bottler spoke briefly in favor of the Hy•taw. Mr. T. B. ('arcing thought the neat - ter a big question to deal with and re- wired much consideration. He had attended several meetings hntlittle or nothing had been neconiplishesl. The Council caste in for considerable crit- icisni and he considered they had not done their duty in the matter. He was opposed to the Hy•law, hint to give the matter a fair trial he would not ask any nein to vote either for or against it. Briefly Reeve Bissett a xpressed him• self in favor of the Hy -law, and hoped it would get the necessary support to carry It. Mr. L. H. Dickson was called upon hart mid he did not wish to express an an opinion from the fact that he held an official position. At this juncture thertneeting was brought tore close.
