Too Mucrr or Gems Tnr*ta.—On Friday
morning last the people of Exeter were sur-
prised toses that a sign had been painted romo-
tiatte during the preceding hour' of darkness,
t1 new printingl office in town. The paper
is to be palled Jehu et John's Buckeye if we
understand the sign aright. We thought at
first that it might be a uew Reform organ, as
the paper whish lately represented the views of
that party has gone ander tate control of a red -
bot Tory, but when we considered that the
uuildinp upon which tate sign appeared
was the property of person called Dr. Cowen,
who is known as a bitter enemy of Reformers,
that idea had to be abandoned. We await
with anxiety tate appearance of the new sheet.
In the meantime we express our admiration
of the skill which the painter of the sign dis-
played in decorating. It looks as if he had
been used to writing addresses on packing
boxes.
A NAnnow EecipE.--On Sunday afternoon
two of Dr. Browning's children were out driv-
ing,and wheu gdiug along theStatlon street;the
jolting of the buggy threw the little boy, Nilly
out, but by some nnacoonntable means he
lit on his feet, and cliugiug to the Hues ran
a:t fast as his little legs could carry him, Hie
sister and himself commenced screaming loud-
ly, and crying "whoa," which only made the
horse trot faster. Before many rods wore gone
over, the little boy fell, and the wheels nar-
rowly missed passing over lis body. The lit-
tle girl, with great presence of mind, got hold
of the lines and had about brought the animal
to a stop when Mr. C. Eacrett arrived ,'and
caught it by the head. The little boy was
not any the worse for his little adventure, and
when placed in the buggy drove away as if no-
thing had happened.
Psnsoxere—On Saturday, last, Mr. Bernard
O'Byrne, who has kept a hardware store in
Exeter for the past few yearel, left here for
Penetanguishene to take charge of some repairs
and additions which are being made to the Pro-
vincial Reformatory at that place. We cnn-
gratelate Mr. O'By.rne upon this appointment,
which we are assured is it good fat one. It has,
no doubt, been bestowed upon hilt] as a slight
recognition of the invalueblc services erhieh he
has rendered the Reform party in malty had.
fought coatets iu this and other parts of the
country, when •his immense influence was
necessary at some critical juncture to ensure
the triumelt of the party. During a lung life-
time Mr. O'Byrne vas given a consistent and
uuwavering support to the Refurw party and
has ever been foremost in the fight, and we
are sure Mr. O'Byrne will agree with us if
we say that ill a great measure the success of
the party in South Huron et the lest local
election was due to his nuremitting exertions
on behalf of Mr. Bishop. We again. ' oougrat-
uiate Mr. O'Byrne upon his app' :utment, for
we are acre he will never go c .tt of his way to
use the influence of his poei96n with those ru-
der him. His family will r (main in Exeter for
some time.
Is Tnovnr.s The Reform party in South
Huron is in tribulation over their new organ.
They have been basely imposed upon. A. braz-
en effort is being made to draw the wool over
their eyes. Their paper has fallen under the
control of a person rho is known as ;one the.
loudest -mouthed Tories in the County of
Heron, though he is not a blue-blooded one
by any means. The medical man. who assumes
to exercise editors,' ;auctions has an Mated, idea
of bis owe importance and ability, but in that
opinion the majority of the party in whose in-
terest he pretends to edit a paper do not
share to a very great extent, and when the
London Free Pres' feels constrained to tall the
medical editor that he is and "eeregions acs,"
the party very naturally feel humiliated—not
because he is au ase, but became, the people
who do not know him may think he represents
the intelligence of the party. Perhaps it would
not be so bad on them if the Dr. would turn a
complete somersault, and talk as well as write
Reform, bat ho presists in talking the worst
kind of Toryism and writing the most imbecile
of Reform articles. and ender such circum- dice than ever should march 111) and
stances it is scarcely to be wondered at that down the street with measured tread to

Sie John Maederr aid is a vile inset, while he printed in letter's of gold, "Behold the
argues on the street that he is the best and
eteverest Man nn the American Continent.
They uatilrally feel disgusted. They gill not
acknowledge that the iucipid and pointless
trash which rte doles out to them every week
represents their opinion. They do not wish
the it,tolligance of the party to be measured by
the iutolligecoe of the editor who has the pre -
good word of a Reformer. A'certeiu monkey
upon one occasion used it cat's paw to pull

were intercltauged, which eventually
culminated in the fracas in question.
Permit me here to state that I deem
my conduct in this couuection disgrace-
ful in the entreats. 1atn heartily
ashamed of it and hope never to so far
forget myself again. And now, sir, for
the affair in question. Last Monday
I entered the Dr's. office in order to
have some private conversation with
hila. Sharp words quickly followed,
which as quickly merged into a sort of
Indian pow-wow,or perhaps more strict-
ly speaking into a three -cornered bear
dance. which was introduced by the gal-
lant 1)r, waving a chair majestically
aver his head and after some very com-
plicated yet itnpurt.aut evolutions in
which the three took part ended in ntv
being seized in a , u tgu hrde 1 molneut

gallant Dr.. thus pinioning my arms

of this statement I am prepared to make
affidavit. Now, sir, here was pugilistic
honor which, if divided, however, be-
tween two. might bo somewhat famish-
ed and savor of cowatdtce. Now, sir,
it is brown by everyone that the Dr.
huts b..teu thirsting for years for putzi-
!istic honor, every attempt to gain
which line ended in disgrace. The Dr's.
excessive eagerness is hlyo 1 roverbial
where anything like gain is in the
question. Now what more natural than
that he should grasp the laurels and
appropriate the undivided honor to hitn•
self. and in consequence annuld bear
