tion of Mr. Mowat and his supporters is to the
people.
LITEnAnY ENTERTAINMENT. — The Exeter
Division S. of. T., instead of holding a eocial

columns a couple of weeks ago, have determin-
to give a literary entertainment in Fanson's
Hall on Monday evening next (April 14). An
excellent programme has been prepared. An
admission fee of 10 and 5 cents will be charged.
The chair will be taken at 8 o'clock sharp.
Y. P. 0. A.—The regular fortnightly meet-
ing of ;the Bible Christian Young People's
Christian Association was held in the base-
ment of the B. C. Church ounTuesday evening
last, when the following persons took part in
the programme : Miss 0, Dyer, song; lliieln•lr,.
Oke, reading; Miss E. Hicks, song; AI<iss'licia
Brown, recitation ; Mr. E. Roberts, song ; lir.
J• Pickard, reading ; Miss Blatchford, instru-
mental seleneien. Mr. Geo. Cobblediek ten -
dere(' hiaiation as Secretary of the so-
ciety, en account of his time being occupied
in pursuing his studies. Mr, E. Spicer was

meets again ten the 22ud inst.
AsraoaenucAL.—necordiugto an exchange,
in the year 1831, the four largest planets in
our solar system will come in conjunction at
the sane time, au occurrence which never be-
fore happened in the history of the world. In
the third and sixteenth centuries three of
these pla'mets came iu conjunction at the same
time, and during these respective years famine,
plague and general devastation prevailed. As-
teonomers and scientists predict woeful conse-
quences and terrible evils—the worst the world,
has ever known—kr next year, and judging
from the past they have sono foundation for
their prophesies. Let us hope, however, that
110 one will be alarmed. "Sufficient unto the 1
day is the evil thereof." 1
APRIL Foot„ -Tho Blyth Bevtcw of last week
dilates as follows: On Tuesday (1st April) ono
of our largest sired Queeu Street landlords
teak a trip to Wiuglram, and while peesiug
along one of the streets, with all the pomposity
natural to a heavy-drauigltt, he observed an
old hat on the sidowelk, That hat lay direct-
ly Willie path, which no doubt be emend -
meal aplow of impertinence on the part of the
hat, at' any rata he evinced his displeasure in
a manner noticeable by giving it such a kick as
would have astonished the most practical mule
in Barnum's Hippodrome: But that hat didn't
move worth a coat, Tho landlord did, though,
moved as quickly as possible to a plane where
he could nurse hie big toe, after whioli he
hobbled titin 1)iesley's hotel and purchased
half a dollar's worth of camphor, or some
other spirits, Ifo is now doing as well as could
be expected.
Wonder if the landlord referred to ever lived
in Exeter ; wonder if he ever kept hotel near
Buren. street?
ANEW Seneetr•.,—During the past few weeks
ono or two goutlenien in the village have been
oorresooudiug with the Godorich Foundry and
Manufacturing Company, with a ‚low to induc-
ing them to remove their machinery and busi-
nese from Goderich to Exeter. This corre-
spondence has resulted in the manager of the
foundry expressing the willingness of the
Company to come here upon certain condi-
tions to be fulfilled by ns. Their proposal, we
are informed., is to accept a bonus of $20,000
and have stook snbseribcd to the amount of
$20,000, This, together with their own capi-
tal and machinery, $35,000, would give them
command of $75,000, with which a first-class
foundry could be established. The stock isnot
a matter with which the people of the town, as
ratepayers, have anything to do, 'With the
bonne they have to do. However, the promot-
ers of the soheule believe that $10,000 would be
accepted from the town. For this the Com-
pany would guarantee to employ eighty hands
on an average the year round. If arrange-
ments can bo effected, they purpose going ex-
tensively into the manufacture of agricultural
implements.
Seam ANOTHER.—And still another enter-
prise has been mentioned. 11 has an advocate
—as a witty person once remarked, " There
never was a cause so foolish that you couldn't
find a --well, a person of uueeen mental capa-
city—to advocate it," The enterprise men -
tined i;—what ? A white elephant factory ?
No, but something which Exeter can almost as
easily obtain and keep up—a linen factory !
Don't smile, gentle reader, or the author of the
idea, who has not lately been attacked by the
"nightmare of common sense and reason,"
may become discouraged. Tho people will
please stand to one side and look ou, and not
cheer every time they feel inclined to, while
the poor fellow labors away in the erection of
his factory', 'When that is completed, be will
proceed with al/ possible dispatch, about
bringing the Arctic ocean down to Pickard's
mill -dam, so that it can be used as a summer
skating rink, and bend the North Pole across
the village, in order that it may be utilized by
the housewives as a clothes line upon which to
hang their Exetermade linen. It will be
rented in rod sections. All three are grand
schemes.
THE SEooTINGMATcx.—The shooting match
between the Exeter and Ailsa Craig Gun Clubs
will take place on the fair ground to -morrow,
when the following Exeter gentlemen will take
part in the match : P. Curtin, S.11*airbairn, T.
Bissett, A. Bright, J. Westcott, A. Lake, F, G
Simpaon,R. Bissett. The match will;be corrduct-
ecl according to Bogardus' rules. Each con•
testaut shall shoot at 15 balls. In ease of mis-
fire the shooter is to have another ball. The
balls are to bethrowu in all directions unknown
to the shooters. Below we quote Bogardus'
rules for the benefit of those interested :
RULE 1. All matches or sweepstakes shall

traps shall be numbered 1 2, and 3. The ref-
ereee shall nave three gun -wads, upon each a

the shooter is at the score to shoot, the referee
will then draw a wad from his pocket and
show'it . to trap puller ; the t' ap puller will
then' nap; "ready 1" after which the shooter
calls, •«pull I" In all cases the puller must
pull fainfor each shooter. If the trap is sprung
before the shooter bas given the word, he can
take the shot or not ; but if he shoots, the
ball or bells :than be scored, whether broken
or not, as the case may be,
Rune 3. Referee.—In all cases a referee shell
be appointed, and his decision shall be final.
In case the trap, when sprung, breaks the ball,
the referee, in all caeca, shall require the party

not.
Rural 4, Position at the score. — After a
shooter has taken his place at the ;score, he
shall not level his guu or raise it above the
hip until the ball is in the air. Should he in-
fringe on this rule. the ball or balls shall be
scored as lost, whether broken or not,
Ryan 6. All balls must be broken in the
air to count; if shot on the ground, shall be
scored as lost.
RLLE 6. 'There shall be no restriction as to
'size of shot used, or charge of powder, but the
charge of shot shall not exceed 1 ounce, Dix-
on measure. Anyone using larger quantity of
shot shall forfeit all rights in the matches.
After a gun in loaded and ehatlen d, and the
shooter discharges his gun, therlferaity will be
the same as for overloading.
Runs 7. All ties to be shot off at 21 yards
rise, at five single balls eaeb, and in ease of
sedan(' tie, five more balls, and so on till de-
cided. In all cases ties must be shot off before

the interested parties agree otherwise.
Ream 8. In double shooting, the distance
Shall be 1t yards rise, and from two traps
planed ten yards apart, Ties shot off at 18
yards rh%a, at three pair balls oeob t end in
case of seoond tie, throe more pair each, and
so on until decided, In all eases both traps
must be sprung at the same time.
Buts 0. Time at the Snore.—A;par'tidipant
in a match shall hold himself in readiness to
come to the score. when hie nano is called ky
the scorer, If lie is longer' there five minutes,

er he shall allow him to proceed further in
the matolr or not.
Rural 10,—Miss-fire.—Should gnn miss -fire
or fail to discharge from any cause, it scores as
a lost ball, unless the referee finds, upon ex-
amination, tint the gnn n'as properly loaded,
acid the miss -fire unavoidable, in which naso
ho shall allow another ball.
Roan. 11. --Loading Guns. — In ease of
breech -loaders, the party called to the score
shall not place his cartridge in the gun until
lie arrives at the score. In ease of muzzle-
loaders, the party palled to the scorn shall not
place the cap on his gnu until Inc arrives at the
scorn,
No one but a contestant has a right to chal-
lenge. An admission fee of 10 cents will be
charged at the gate.
Hensell.
A few of our citizens have lately levitated.
Serene \Yonnnxno.—Tuesday morning last
dogs were caught worrying sheep belonging to
Mr. D. McEveu, London road, and bat for the
timely discovery, serious damage would have
resulted.
DEBATINn CLuhr.—Tho first meeting of the
debating club, which has recently been formed
in Heusall, took place in the sitting -room of
Mansion House on Monday evening. The sub-
ject for discnssion was the NationalPoliey. The
selection of a chairman fell upon a geutleman
whose opinious on that all-important question
are not sealed, Tho leader of the side which
strove to maiutaiu that the Natiouel Policy is
injurious to the country, is a devoted follower
of Alexander Mackenzie, and a master gauger,
The Ministerial Party woe ably led by a good
Conservative. The debate commenced at six
o'clock. Every available foot of standing room
was occupied by the crowd that gathered in to
hoar the arguments for and against the N P.
The discussion lasted about two hours. Tire
leaders waxed; 'ery hot at different time9, and
your correspondent regrets that as a faithful
reporter he must mention, that they made use
of some very unparliamentary language. How-
ever, their followers hope they will get over this
tendency with a little moro practice. Alto-
gether some e).cellent arguments were advanced,
and if Sir John or MackenzieIlad been present
they would have learned something they do
not know. During the heat of the debate the
leader of the Conservative side; was accused of
having turned his coat, inasmuch ae he had
voted for M. C. Cameron at the election of '74.
He was allowed to explain, when he said in
substance that in 1874 he had voted Grit be-
cause he thought the Government had a right
to a fair trial. This they received, but they
had not come up to their expectations, and he
felt justified in 'deserting, them on the 17th of
last September, when Inc had voted for what
he conscientiously believed to be for the benefit
of the country. On motion of Air. Charters,
seconded by another member, this explanation
was accepted an satisfactory. Your correspond -
thinks ?Jr, Charters came to this coucluaiou
without any prejudice. The chairman, after
highly complimenting the speakers on the
ability they had displayed, and especially the
leaders for their very Parliamentary and gen-
tlemanly bearing towards each other during
the heat of the debase, proceeded to review the
arguments, but was uuabie to come to a de-
cision. IIe was accorded liberty to consider
the matter until the next regular meeting. A
vote of thanks was tendered him for his im-
partial manner in the chair, and the members
and audience dispered.

IMPROVING SToor..—A meeting of the
faruh:•rs in this locality was held at
Farquhar on Friday last to take into
consideration the advisabi;ity of pur-
chasing a thorough -bred bull (Short
horn) at the coining sale at Bow Park.
The conclusion come to was to form
a company, and Mr. George HIackney
to proceed to Bow Park and purchase
a first•clase animal. This speaks well
for the enterprising spirit of the farm•
ere of this vicinity, who are determined
to keep up with the tunes. It has
been rather risky business speculating
in thorough -bred cattle depending on
the custom and assistance of others,
and it was this which caused the farm.

occurs it will not fall so heavily on one
man. To Alex. Duncan, Esq., the
praise should be ascribed for get-
ting up the company and undertaking
spoken of.
SURPRtS .—LRet Wednesday evening
Mr. D. McKenzie was agreeably sur-
prised—and well he aright be—by
some twenty-four conples of juveniles
walking in two after two, having with
them baskets full of good things, and
filling almoet every ramp in the house,
The young people, who.,were mostly
between the ages of 'eia; and fifteen
years enjoyed themselves immensely.
This juvenile surprise party, which is
rather an unusual thing in these parts,
was itt halal of Miss Hilly McKenzie,
who during tXfe short time she has re-
sided amongst as has endeared irereelf
to all her schoolmates and play fellows.
Next morning the young people under-
went a good deal of questioning by
their elders in regard to who their
partner was on the night previous.
But they maintained a strict silence on
the subject, which proves that the
young Plugiownites are not at all ig•
natant of the ways of Life.—Pnnarowea
