is not very creditable to the intelligence of the

A Bann CASE. --On Tuesday evening last a
veey dissipated looking woman entered the
house of Sir. Howey, and commenced to insult
the inmates,and demanding money. She grew
extremely violent, annoying Mr. Howey very
mach, he having been unable to move around
through iujuries which he had sustained on
Saturday. One of the children was despatched
after the constable, but when he arrived at the
house, the drunken woman had taken her de-
partnre.
Dal:venous TnAMPs.-It is said that on
Tuesday evening last a couple of boys found a
tramp in Mr. D. Johns' shed, adjoining his
house, and that he had in his han 1 a rag
soaked in coal oil. He chased the boys away.
and lit the rag and left, when the boys re
entered the shed, and found the fire had died
out. If this be so it seems strange that the
constable was not put on the alert. At all
events people would do wisely to look well to
their outbuildings now that the tramps have
commenced their summer campaign.
A Free BIIILDI,rG.-A good deal of the brick
work on Mr. C. Eacrett's new building is done.
When the boiling is completed it will v' fa-
vorably with any other block in town. Mr.
O'Neil has purchased a strip of ground a t
south side of the new block, on which b is
erecting a bank building which will run he
same height as Mr. Barrett's, to which it is tel
taohed. The style will also he the same. Ex
ter already possesses buildings that cannot be
equalled 1-y any town of the size in the Prov-
ince, but when all the buildings in contempla-
tion are erected, we think ours will be the
handsomest little town that can be found any:

one of the penes of glass was broken and a bolt
removed. There hadevidentlybeen an at-
tempt made on the previous night to burglarize
the premises, the would-be burglars failing to
gain an entrance. The door is half glass.
They had broken one of the panes, and had

them an 'easy'•'ehtranoe. But alas for their

STIES SUBAKITraD-^-THE STATION ROAD 015.
RIE» BY A Lau13E i61AJOFiTS.
The great question that has agitated the
people of Exeter ever Since the building of the
railroad, has at lust been nettled, aud the mar-
ket square located on the corner of Main and
Wellington streets. ire last•ruentionedl street
is popularly known as the station road. Tune

on this question, and a tet.'litt Council fatvoeable-

any kind, successful in every respect.
The fun programme is full, and should
draw well. There will certainly be a

ges know as soh about babies as ba-
biee do about them. Hurrah for the

Hovseartze rltG.-On Thursday night
last, about ten o'clock, after stir. Rey
nolds of the Mansion House had locked
up tor the night, there came au impera-
tive knock at the door, followed by a
demand for admittance. "Mr. Reynold,
at once hastened to open the door, but
before he could reach it the lock was
smashed and the door flew open, where•
upon two men entered and took posses-
sion of the sitting room. They de-
manded whiskey in a threatening and
overbearing manner from Mr. Reynolds,
which he refused. This refusal enraged
the men, who were already very far
gone in intoxication, and they struck
at Mr. Reynolds, and commenced at
nnce to raise a disturbance. The win•
bows of the room were broken, and
ether damage done before they saw fit
to take their departure. In the morn
ing itIr. Reynolds laid a charge against
the men, before Spire Gidley, of Exe-
ter, who iso led warrants for the appre-
hension of Moses and Henry Mines,
aud entrusted their execution to Con-
stable Gill, of Exeter. Mr. Gill, accom-
panied by another Exeter constable,
Mr. Jas. Balkwill, Dame to Hei sall on
the same day in search .of the men, but
failing to fiud any trace of them here,
they went north to Kippeu. Wiping
to Lear something of the men they were
in search of, the two constables entered
Shaffer's hotel, and . sat down. They
had not been its long before two men
answering to the description bi the fug-
itives, entered the room, unaware of
the danger they were running, and eat
down. The result of thr'e was; the men
were made prisoners itt the naine ;of
Her Majesty, and taken through Heti-
sail to Exeter. They Were lodged lin
