Right You Are. ^^ The Mayor of Sarnia,in response to a sums erously-signed requisition, bas proclaimed Monday, IMfay96th, as the day on which Her Majesty's birthday shall bo celebrated there, It is quite likely that many other places will follow suit and keep Saturday, May 24th, as *business day. Which day shall we keep as a holiday in Exeter? Farmers arm looking plcasant,aud they have good reason,for never were they blessed with abetter seeding season. A large acreage has already been sown, and by the end of this week the hurry of seed time will be about over. The fall wheat has wintered well,and, with a continuation of favorable weather,there is every prospect of a bountiful harvest, and we trust the anticipations will be verified, as after the poor results of last years work,many of our farmers are Badly iu need of a good crop. -- United 3fethodfst Conference.

A warning to assessors conies from Kent county. Edward A. Cragg, an assessor, has, just been convicted at Chatham assizes and sentenced to a fine of $200, with two weeks in jail, for having wilfully inserted three names on the assessment roll for the town- ship of Camden, with the intention of giving them an apparent right to vote. It was of no avail that the prisoner pleaded ignorance of the statute. The judge told hilt he had tak- en the oath to perforin the work faithfully and honestly, and he had been guilty of a flagrant violation of it. Cattle Killed. ' Ou Friday evg., last, while the northern bound express was passing over Huron-st , crossing, the engine came in contact with three fine cattle belonging to Mr. R. Davis, of this place. It appears Mr. Davis was driv- ing them to pasture, and when crossing the railway track, the animals boldly faced the train, and could not be:urged on. Two of them -were thrown a distance of about t rods; and instantly killed, while the other was thrown through the fence,sustaining such in- juries that it expired a few days after. The animals were valued at about $200, therefore the loss will be heavy for Mr. Davis. r.oeal Brevities. Reset Tenant c&G Tenant's adv. The gypsies aro again on;the path.

K. C, met in their rooms at the usual hour, on Monday evening last. After the usual routine ceremonies had been gone through, and oue or two drowsy individuals had received a few kicks to wake them up, bueiness was resumed with a right good will, all joining heartily in the discussion of the various topics of the evening. After a lengthy and heated debate, iu whin more than oue zeal- ous member biled over, and several more collapsed, a faint groau was hoard in the roar and a stampede en. sued. But the stentorian voice of the President soon restored order, when it was found that a freckled faced chap had fainted from shear exhaustion ; he was iminediately dragged into the back -yard and stretched on a rail, a few pails of muddy water dashed in his face, and he recovered. The fol- lowing resolutions were then:consider- ed clause by clause, reported will -*out amendment, and after a third reading were adopted (1.) That County Councils consist of one representative from each mnui- cipahty. (2.) That each representative pons• ess a plurality of votes, if necessary, according to the equalized vatuatiott of his municipality. (3.) That the basis of representa- tion be the same as at present for one representative, with an additional vote for every aitditional $500,000 of assessment. (4.)

(4.) That whereas the Local Legis- lature seem bent upon the mad course of destroying the growth of a national feeling, and whereas the ob. feet of that body seems to be to pre- vent the completion of that great structure of which the foundation was laid at Confederation, and whereas 1 the centralization policy pursued by that body is calculated to destroy the whole principal of self government, be it therefore resolved that in the opin- ion of tike club it should be abolish- , Jus* as the janitor was about blow- ing out the lights the meeting was again called to order and the follow- ing resolution moyod by Mr. Honey - mouth, seconded by Mr. Longjewe :- That whereas an individual known to this club did, wilfully, felonously and with malice aforethought publish an item iu the Exeter Reflector last week, purporting to come from Elimville, said item not appearing to be for the public good, be it therefore resolved that said party be forbidden ever to outer the precinct of this club room.
