WATtlititi TO PRxv.TE BANES. --By an set passed at the recent session .of the Dominion Parliament, the term "bank" inuet not be ap- plied to those monetary institutions which have heretofore been known as private banks. For instance Blank ck Co. cannot do business as Blank & Co's back, but Blank it Co. may cid business es bankers. LARGE Frnmean.-The funeral of Mrs. Wood, of 'Gaberue, which passed through the town on Monday last to the Exeter cemetery, was one of the lar gest ever seen in this neigh- boorhood, there being in the neighborhood of eighty vehicles in the cortege. Mrs. Wood was highly respected by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. Tns Cxnces.-Pulman ds Hamilton's circus visited Exeter on Tuesday last, and gave per- formances in the afternoon and evening. It was up to the usual standard of exhibitions of this kind. The tumbling and trapeze acts were difficult sed well performed. The Boisset family were especially deserving of applause in their several feats. WIND STonir.-A furious wind storm struck Exeter yesterday at noon, for a few miuutes. Considerable dust had accumulated on the roads, and this was quickly lifted in the air., It was impossible in some parts of the town where the dust had not been laid by the water- ing cart to . see twenty Lode. The dust iu the streets resembled the smoke from a ten mil- lion dollar blaze. A little ram followed the ab atemeut of the wind. FAT CATTLE. -On Tuesday last, a number of fat cattle were sold in this neighborhood for the Liverpool market. As usual Mr. James Pickard steed at the head of the stock raisers. He sold four for which he received over 650. , .A. shorthorn bull four years old weighed 2,800 pounds. He is considered the heaviest in the eowwtry at that age. A. stser. weighed 2,040, aged only four years ; a heifer,1740, and an ox 1740 -making a total weight of 8220 pounds. This would be hard to boat. BOATallo.--Boating on Pickard's mill pond, wLich at this season of the year is at high wat- er mark is the leading recreation of many vil- lagers. All those wno Can afford the indulg- ence own boats, while those who cannot, rely en the generosity of others. Every morning and evening the river, presents an attraetive appearance. No one as yet has thonght en- ough of the mesa to give them agood iters by getting nearly drowned. Three citizens fell in, but they were tolerable swimmers, so that the excitement incident to drowning was not there. The exercise is a very healthy one, and should be indulged in as mach as pee- sibie, AN "UPSET IN :gess Nivea. ---On Monday even- ing last, three young }nen, Oliver ,lolrnaon,, Wei. Weeks, and Charles Sproal, met with a duckingiai the River Bauble. They were out boating when Jolinsan stood up in the boat, which commenced 'to rock, and he made an attempt to sit down which was not character- ized by that method and iieliboration soncees- sery to the safety of the amateur oarsmen. As a 001180g1ua,ce th,.. boat tipped over, and tlhc t11414 X1`4t MAI. c2J,1 $O three went out. Weeks at once swam for the shore, but the other two managed to get the boat righted and got it to shore. They were all rather damp,but boyoud that no damage was doue or uneonveuieuee suffered. They had better take lessons on elle art of sitting down while a. boat is in motion before they again handle the sculls. Tem Cow Nurse:sem-We do not think there aro many owners of gardens iu town who;do not have cease some time or other during the sum - mor to auatltatutiae the cows that ars to be found strayed an our streets at all tithes of the day or night. Loud and ntnnerous, last sum- mer, were the complaints of •tne unlucky grow- ers of '‘garden sass," who had the misfortune; to have the fruit of emus an hour's work de- stroyed in a few minutes by the "breaoby" pro- pensities of his neighbor's "erummie." No gate is proof against them, and in fact, as a councillor remarked on Monday evening, "soma of them could climb a. ladder." Not only do they play havoc with the gardens but they stake the sidewalk in a shocking dirty condi- tion. The Connell would have the thanks of a majority of the ratepayers of this town if they would pass and have carried out a by-law pro- hibiting cows from roaming the streets after nightfall, even if they are allowed to be out in daytime. The above from the Wingham Times is applicable to Exeter as well as. SVingliam. commie McBTZNG,-Tine Council met pur- suant to adjournment at the Market House ou May 14th. All the members present.

Dear Sir, -I was greatly astonished in looking over your valuable paper ' few weeks ago, in seeing an item under the heading of Lumley, in the shape of challenge from the Lumley Quoit club, to that of Hensali. the malehto be played on the 8th of May. And near- ly paralyzed in looking over your last issue to see that the match had been posponed till the twentyfonrth of May. is the club had not the blightest ilea that such a challenge was going to be issued. But as it was sent by one who was Dot antlhorizod to do so by the club, we hope that the Hensel! club will not be disappointed if we fail to toe the mark ou the abosementioned date. .Expecting this will be seen by some of the Hansell players so as ,they need not spend their spare moments in praotisieg to defeat a club who had to intention of playing. --I retrial!) yours truly A 11iammR OF THE LuuL>er Oxon.

This has been a long winter up here. but we are like. ly to have a splendid summer. It is 0 pity so many came up so early, for it is very expensive travelling in the win- ter, for those whd keep stopping place on the trail don't know how much to charge for a night's lodgings, and yon must find your own buffaloes and pay for the liberty of lying on them. It would be a fine thing if some of the smart men in Iinron who have kept hotel would come out and start boari. ing houses iu some places on the trail. But when the iron horse makes his appearance, the expellees will be cur- tailed to a ereat .extent. We will soon have the first hundred miles of the rail- road this side of Red River -the rails, flea, and other Material are on hand. And that will help us in the N. W. T. I think 1t will not be long till we have the eeeoud hundred miles and then we will be all right. Feed for cattle is very scarce here this spring. The fire buret slot of feed last fall and the long winter has used the rest all up. The spring birds are here. The ducks and wild geese have come too ; bar they are not plentiful yet. There wi,1 be m re of there soon. Provisions are dear. Flour is five dollars per hundred ; bac. on, 17 cents per pound ; beef, 12 to 14 Dents per pound ; venison, 10 Center per pound ;' wheat, $1.80 ; oats, $1.00 ; barley, 1.25 per bushel- Haidware is also very high. Stovepipes at Rapid City are 40 omits per length ; nails, 10 cents upwards. Iron must have raised very fast in Outario, for it has taken a great julep here. This year there willbe a lot of grain sown, so that it will be more plentiful next year if it does well I adult the chances are that we will fare well. Rapid City is iu the nicest place in the west, There are about 70 dwellings, 6 etores,2black. smith shops, post o.flce,hardware store, saw mill, grist mill. and school house. It is a business place and .there is room for more. I saw a piece in the Huron Expositor on the question of the North, west and the railroads. Tho gentleman whoever the may be that wrote it, has wither forgetter to sign his name er was ashamed to. tr He thinks there is but little use of a railroad up here, lielI also says that there won't be anything.. for it to do for years to some.
