He is highly spoken of by the press aud clergy. Now that the Mechanics'Ir'stitute i, fully organized we hope such then as Mr. Watson will be induced to visit us.

Exeter boys do not stand at the street corners, and we would advise them not to commence the offensive practice, or perhaps they wi.1 share the same fate as the young Clintonites.
