IT is noteworthy that the present severe
weather is but a repetition of what fell upon
us at the same time last year. On the 20th
November, last year, the thermometer was
nine above zero, on the 21st it had gone clown
to four above zero. Sunray evening the mer -
miry stood:at zero, The snowfalls in Novem-

1874, 11.7 inches ; M1875, 7.8 inches; in 1876,

day evening, by Rev. Mr. Thomas, B. C. Min-
ister in Clinton. The subject was ably han-
dled, anti as far as the kissing is concerned it
is evident that the lecturer "knows how it es
himself." . The various kinds of hisses were
described and the sensations which they pro-
dueed. Rev. Mr. Webber ocoopied the chair,
and at the conclusion of the lecture, a hearty.
' vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Thomas.
L+� TINE s
Gzvi, xifia Deere Idxs Duette--Our friend
the. aecterctula Signal. in last week's issue re -
mints a oo•xple of items. from the Texas and
credits these to our up -town cotem. Cue of
the said items is that iu regard to "reed tiding
hoots" who was arrested in London for drunk-.
Hess. It was uuiiiud of the Signet' to credit
that item to our 'totem. Knowing that the
Signed was ignorant of the "refreshment" ar-
raugemeut,wc acquit itlof any intention of hint-
ing anypne's feelings especially when speaking
of a harcbe heeked youth.• T'or obvious reasons
the paper which received credit from the Sig-
nal said nothing about "r sd riding hooch."
Will our totem icdignently repudiate the pa-
ternity of—of that item?
'Mita RAVE Tina DONE e --That's the ques-
tion we are fregnontly asked concerning the
actions of the railway committee appoiuted at
the recent meeting. We believe nothing has
been done, as they have not held a meeting.
This duty should be performed without auy
delay, as "delays are dangerous," We shall
be happy to report that something has being
done before our next issue. Seaforth and
other tow.,s are beginning to think "„of getting
another road and it will not do for Exeter to be
a laggard in the rate,
[Since the above was put in typo, we learn
that a meeting of the Committee was held la -t
eveuing ; what they decided to do, we are neer
yet aware, but will keep our readers fully
posted.]
I. IlODDOD.---We notice by the daily papers that
Mr. Davis Thompson, of Hamilton, who kept
a jewelery store in Lxeter some five or six
years ago, has beth robbed of wetohes to the
value of $90. The thief entered the store
in Mr. Tltotupsen's absence, and, asked the
clerk in charge to show him some watches,
when, ou being placed before hien he asked to
see some others,' The moment the clerk's
back was turned he seized three watches and
made otT. He was quickly followed by the
clerk, but teenaged . to elude him, and thus
made his escape with his booty.
HoerE.-On. Friday last we received a call

Hone His Lze.—Ou Thusday last, while
Messrs, J. N. Howard and Robt. McFalls were
saw -logging in Howard's bash ou the Lake
Road, 31r. McFalls, met with a slight aooideut
which would have proved very severe but for
the timely assistance of Ur. Howard. Mr, Mc -
Falls was driving the horses, and they were
pulling the lugs upon the sleigh, when by some
moans a large log slipped from what is called
the "devil," and fell upon his leg, throwing
hits to the ground. The pain was so excruci-
ating that his cries could have been heard a
long distance. Mt. Ilowarct soon ran to his
assistance, and getting the hand -spike under
the log managed by great effort to hold it long
enough to enable Mr. MoFalls to scrawl out.
His escape from having a broken leg was very
fortunate, He was able , to resume worse on
Monday.
A PEST: This is ,what the London Polite
authorities are finding Geo. May to be, ale
was up before the . magistrate of the cloy the
other day, charged with ill usiugliis wife. It
is the same ol.l story, In the summer time
he managed to keep himself by painting, so
Mrs. May' intorwed the magistrate, but never
gave her a cent, and when the cold weather
comes he goes home and lies around the drunk,
and varies the drunk by oceasioually hanunez-
ing his w'fo and child, en. Mrs. May wanted
the police to protect her from George, and no
wonder she makes wall au appeal if her ex-
perience since going to live in ,Loudon has
been anything like it was in Exeter. At hex
request the p. in. let George off with a fine of
$5.60, to be paid in a week. Then ho was to
leave the city, or be sent to the Central Prison.
we are afraid nothing eau ever °bungs his
ways. Whi;e in Exeter he was sent to Goderich
jail three or four times. While he profess, d
to feel keenly the disgrace of his imprisoumel. t
he never felt the disgrace of acting so sham -
fully towar.t his family, nor tried to n en 1 Li:
ways when he was released. He is incorrig-
ible, and au unnutigated nuisance to any com-
munity. Exeter could stand him no longer,
and he was forged to go. If temperance orators
went alive iglu-tration of the evils of intemper-
ance, they cannot &Whetter than find George
May.
