Melancholy 'ata1 Au4ident.
It is our painful duty this week to chronicle
the death of Mrs. MOFaul, of Spring Hill,
daughter of Mr. William Grigg, sr., of Exe-
ter, which resulted from an actrdont that oc-
curred on Monday evening last. She drove
to Exeter in the morning, bringing her little
two.year old daughter with her, and in the NOW stock just. a1^ived at'

A Caere—lir. J. 13. Watson, better known as
the Canadian orator crud humorist paid us
visit on Satnielay last. Mr.W's home is at To-
ronto, but he is at present on a lecturing tour
thro�igh western Ontario. We understand
negotiations are being made with him by some
of oar citizens to lecture in this town. We
feel cofident the Canadian orator would attract
a good crowd in Exeter. 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.
DON'T DO IT, BOYS.—CLinton youths have
been compelled to pay the cost of a trial beforo
the Mayor, and received a sharp reprimand
for refusing to obey the command of the Chief
of the Polioc,.whenthey were ordered by that
anthority to move away from a street corner,
where they had congregated. 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.
