One of the children being told to light a fire in the kitchen stove, took a handful of paper clippings from a wood- en box beside the stove; and putting them in the stove, lighted them. But oue end of a long strip of paper remained in the box while the other end was iu the stove. The fire rate:elallg this and caught the paperin the„ box,whioh was soon in a blaze. Fort unately,Mrs, White entered the robot in a minute after the fire was lit and sueeeecded in extinguishing the fire in the box. In a few minutes more the whole kitchen would have been iu a blase. Tete Sneeses.—Now the season ,has arrived when repairing of the streets is in orctsr,would it not be well for the members of the council to consider whether some bettor means of making the streets could not be adopted than have been employes in the ;past. The teaming done in the town is growing heavier every year, and toile on the roads, The material heretofore used is not suitable for making streets which have tcebear such heavy teaming. A. few months after it is laid on it is ground to powder, and every spring the roads are fnueed of repairs. If we had good road --roads that woad Last—they would be ;cheap in the end, even though they would cost muck larger isum in the first place that gravel autldirt. This I subject will force itself upon our municipal fa- thers before loug. At the present rate of go- iug the expense of repairing the streets is con- siderable, audit should be avoided if possible. ltlrsawAr.—On Monday last, a team of horses hitched to a wagon in front of Mr. J. P. Clark's, aud owned by Mr. Wm. Baker, of Lxersit will remain quiescent on the 21th. of Stephen, ran away. They went down at a breakueek speed, At Down's wagon shop, there STREET watering will soon be needed. la were two veuicles standing on the side of the other towns the contracts are already gat. road waiting for repairs, ands when but a few few feet from these, Mr. 0. Johnson, of Buckingham's balcksinith whop, who had arm- ed himself with a wifiietroe alt seeing them approaching, struck one of them ou the head, At the same intent the wagon collided with one of the aforesaid veuicles, capsizing it.

The cattle trade in these parts has assumed large proportions, and the people are eouvinced that it pays well to give attention to their stock. Busx.—The town on Saturday last wore a brighter and busier look than we have seen it wearing for some time. The streets were lined along the business portion of ttie,town,and the merchants and tradesmen must have driven a paying business. EAna3,-1Ir.:as. Stewart, of Exeter, is an Liebman aud is fond of the Irishman's favor- ite article of diet—the potato. Ho pays con- siderable attention to his crop, and is already rewarded by having .theluin bloom at this early part of the year. Rath. --Oa flloutley last a very homy rain - fen took place in. Exeter and neighborhood. The good effects were soon visible in the deep- er green which the grass took on, widths; bud- ding of the leaves. The season promises well for the gardeners. w.F.ATrsnn PREDICr'tor s. -Every morning the weather predictious for the next twenty-four hours are telegraphed from the observatory et Toronto to the Montreal office he,'e,. aud are plated in a frame and hung uu in :a couspi- enotto t•laee, where those interested may con- sult them.

The other showed no inclination to continue running when its mate fell. No damage was done except a few insieuificent scratches on the horse's leg, which were made by its get- tingthroughthe spokes of the wheels and kick- iug to free itself. TEE TENT BROW.—Puldman and Hamilton's electric lighted show gave the initial perform- ance in this city on Saturday afternoon and evening to large audiences.

In every other degree this en- tertninment .equals the bent. A. funny pan- tomime opens the exhibition, admirably light- ed with the wonderful electric light.

Cxlr nnswt-eThere is no question that deserves more attention front the public, and yet receives leas, than that of educating the youug, As docsi as they are five years 7 age. Mai la many cases before they have at teitie.l that age,they are huddled off to school, the parents being only too glad to bo rad of them around the Is use for six hours in the day at least. They very seldom stop to enquire whether they aro doing justice to their children in compelling them to be cooped up indoors so much of their time. The opinions of lultuaniteriane and t 1 the beat ed, ucatioualists of the clay agree that the ellildren of the present generation have their mental powers overtaxed at a voty early ago. We no- tice that the town of Galt has adopted a sys- tem of teething the young which ;is eminently wise aud commends itself to the consideration of all who desire the young to bo taught in it way that will at ono and the same time ex: pandjtlieir intellect:and devolopo their physique. Their plan is to have the divisions from the senior third ant upwards to work as at pre- eent, but those below are to be divided into two drafts,one of which will study from 9 a. in. to 1.0.30 a. m.; and then pass to the playgrouud, when the other comes in to worktill 12 o'clock, and similarly iu tiso afternoon. In the play- ground they will be taught singing, an excel- lent exercise for the expansion of the lungs aud the cultivation of the voice, calisthenics, anti gymnastics suitable for tender years. The town expects to save 61,000 a year in salaries by the new method of teaching, and we vent- ure to say that not only will the pupils thus taught grow up stronger, healthier, aud leap. pier inen sed women, aud bettor able to battle with the world than those taught tinder the presentsscstem, but they will be better scholars They may not read so much, tbey may not study so much, but they will be able to . wake use of all they do know. Can anyone guess how nmoli a student forgets which he ought to retain? Anold Latin maxim, ?stens Sana in compere sato, is very aplicable to show that a vigorous constitution is necessary to sustain a vigorons mind and a healthy memory. A. boy who exercises properly eau learnt more in oue hour than one of similar mental gifte who does nothing but study. Of what use is a first-class education to a mau or woman if they do not possess a vigorous frame and a healthy constitution. Health is possible with- out great mental powers, bat the possession of great mental powers— to speak of powers iu its broadest sense—is not possible without the most perfect health. Tho ancient Greeks, and Romans also, were a very hardy, energetic race of people, who encouraged exercise in many forms, and they were mentally the most ad- vancer' of their time, any of their cleverest authors wielding the sword as Well as the more powerfullweapon—the pen, There in no question that shutting up children six hours in the day, to be perusing over study books, is unchristian, and diminisees instead of increas- ing their brain power. Constant study reduces the body to the sante condition that the body may be reduced to by constant work, Ambi- tions departs and lethargy and disinterestedness take its place. Wo earnestly commend the subject to the attention of the 'Exeter trustees, and while they aro about it, they should also consider the advisability at ,lengthening the dinner hour to au hoar and a half, so that the pupils who live at the limits of the corporation may have time to eat a • geed square meal and digest it properly instead of being compelled to bolt the food and. hurry back to school. That sort of thing may do for farmer's beye, Who only attend school a few mouths in the year, and must study while they are there, but it is not at all desirable that the boys and girls hi towns, who attend the whale year round, as a rule, should bo forced to undergo such dis- comfort and Sometimes positive injury. 'We hope some of the eleeter Trustees will have enough thought of the little ones of the town to bring up the matter for discussion at the next meeting of the Board. The most influ- ential and intelligent men in the town favor the idea, They mag rest assured that the status of the school will be raised in instead of lowered by following out the suggestions we have made. The experieuco of other towns proves it, • OnrrnAnr.—The funeral of the late Rev. J. B. Selloy. M. D., of Exeter, took place Tuesday morning at 9 o'clnek, from his late residence. The corpse was taken to Lncan, thence to lifontreel for interment in the family bnrinl place. In addition, to representatives from the other denominations and the medical profes- sion. it large number of the official meiuheee of the Methodist Church were present. The IRev. G. Webber of the Bible Christian Clinrch read from the Old and New Testament, mak- ing some very appropriate comments on the subject of depth and reenrrection. The Bev. (5 A.
