REORGANIZED. --At a meeting held on the 5th
instant to reorganize the Exeter. Gun Club, the
following gentlemen were elected officers for
the coming year: President, Tsaao Carling;
Vice -President, Dr. Hyndinan ; Secretary, F.
G. Simpson ; Treasurer John Sanders ; Stand-
ing Colnnnitte, S. Fairbairn, T. Biseett, A.
Bright, W. Bissett, J. Westoott, T. Mace and
A. Lake. Before the club oup can become the
pt operty of any member of the club he must
hold it six times in succession.
Masts,. -One day last week some one who
no doubt thought they were doing a clever
trick, tied a tin onn to the tail of one of Mr.
James Pickard's colts and then turned it out of
the field. 'the rattling of the eau frightened
the colt and caused it to ran around, the can
striking it on the leg at almost every step.
When the colt had run until it was completely
done out it stopped in the school yard, whero
nae of the schoolboys took the eau off. Tho
animal's leg was badly out where the oan had
struck it. There is nothing auto about a
t, ick which dostrys property or inflicts pain on
dumb animals.
HERR DURLER'8 ENTRRTAINntxNTB.-The en-
tertainment given by Prof. Dobler on Thnrs•
day evening was almost a repetition of those
of the former evenings. Considerable, amuse-
ment was cansed by Heir Dobler presenting a
gold locket to the best looking lady in the au -
(deuce. ivfessrs. G. A. K. McLeod, 11.. Blake,
and H. Barnwell were chosen to select the
hau,lsomest young lady. They discharged
their duty to the satisfaction of all present.
Thelady picked on was a(ierman,whose name,
as announced by Prof. Dobler, no cue oauid
understand. Some of the ladios are a little
jealous of the Gorman girl, and say that the
decision of the judges only shows what kind
of an idea they have of beauty.
To SRORTeltEN.-No'v that the shooting
season is agaiu co ning in, the following sng-
gostione, although not new, may not be out of
place ; Don't point your gun at yourself.
Don't point your gun at any one else. Don't
