It has been rer.11:arkable only for the number of charges macro by the 'Opposition against sael'portern of the Ministry. Politicians cow believe there will be another s sigh and then an early appeal to the people. TICE goveralrent have prohibited the manufacture cr importation of oleomargarine., and now the Grits want to take credit for urging the passage of the hill. The leading organ would also like to see genuine butter prohibited from corning into the country, but, as it happens, we do not import butter, but ship to the States both cheese and butter as well as an annual export of about twelve million dozen of eggs, the less tinker.: lug we have with the law regulating the trade between the two countries the barter. Our Yankee cousins are pretty sharp in the way of retaliative legislation, IN alluding to the communication ofBev. A. Andrews tr the Christiane Guardian, concerning t he ill-treat- ment of the Indians in the North. West, the Goderieil ,Signal endeavors to turn tbo blame on the Govern- ment. It says :-- "Air. Andrews' testimony and that of the Government officials agree as to the neglect of the Indians, by Government officials." Mr. Andrews' statements were not r sealculated to convey the idea that tx"ocerumeiit' officials had neglected their _ duty, but that other white settl- ers had treated the Indians in an un- kindly way. Strange, toe, that the Government officials would commit) themselves, as is stated by our cotem, to be the case. TEE QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY flow the 13oliday was Celebrated at home and Neighboring Places. The anniversary of our sovereign's birth was observed in Exeter and celebrated in a tight Loyal manner As was an,icipated, a very large crowd of people came to town at an early hour, and before the bout at which the trades and calitbumpiau proces- sion was to take place nearly all She visitors bad congregated upon our streets, the number being estimated at over 2,000. The first on the pro- gramme was the grand street parade. The procession was formed at the north end and marshalled by Mr. C. Willis, marched through the principal streets. It wan a grand affair and far surpassed in appearance all pre- vious calculations. It was beaded by the Reeve, Dr. Rollins ; Deputy• Reeve, Mr. Ww.

In the evening the last carnival the season was held in the roller ri The crowd in attendance—both ski ers and spectators—was much larg than at auy former getberiug in t reale--fn fac very few more .00h have beeu accommodated. The ra for the sliver modal, while not by a means close afforded the spectate au opportunity of seeing the Hur obampion on wheels. The green ra was keenly contested for a time, b the staying powers of some of th skaters were not sufficient to enabl them to skate to the finish. The to of war and seals cotnically costume individuals created considerable am usement. Following is a list of tilos who were awarded prizes ; Corrie Costume, A. Staulake ; 1 Lady's beet dress, Miss Mary Sanders, Mise Ida Gould ; Boy and girl's race, A. Clack and A. Davis, A. Spicer and P. Bawden, T. Tyndall and U. Myers; Amateur race, Geo. Weekes. Frank Knight, The race for the silver medal was won by John Vail, who now owns the trophy, having won it three times in succession ; Tug of war, 10 on each gide, captained by 0. Willis and Geo. Eaorett, won by Eacrett's aide. The affair was wound up by the grand march, which was to those who Lad J never Been the like before, a novel sight, of n k. ;t— er he Id lay rs 012 ee ut a e g d e NOTES. While Mr,'N. D. Hurdon and a few theta were driving toward Exeter North to joln the procession a horse elouging to Mr.:' Henry Westoott, slued at $1510, which they were driv- ng, dropped dead a short distance ortli of the 'market. The cause is aid to have been heart disease. The niwal was' four yeare old and a andsoma one. Although no one as to blame for the death of the bast, the oommitte decided to present rr, Weetoott with $30, which they' ad }eft after paying all exponeon con:- 1 ated with the celebration. I Dearing, barber, while driving to e prooessinn,had his rig broken by e horse getting frightened. He then minted on the horse's back, and rile riding down rMainnitreet it again k fright and dashed Mr. D. to t}le ound, inflicting a Coupla of ugly( gbee on his heed. t The dusty streets made pit very des -1 t the Tam O'Shanters and the feathers. The procession reached the enclosed ring at the driving park shortly after one o'clock, and while the athletes were preparing for the contests the crowd surged in and filled up the seats and standing room, until over 4,000 people ivere on 'she grounds. Amongst the athletes present were J. D. McColl, D. Gray, P. McColl', J, W. Wood, 'Amos Doupe, W. Gaze, M. Wallace, J, Anderson. The dancing and playing was on a raised platform in front of the seats, while the heavy freight contests took place ) on the grass near by. The rule was that none but udges and officials were allowed in the ring, but, this rule was not very strictly enforced, as the spectators rustled in and sur- rounded the sports preventieg those who were in carriages from a, view. Such a state of affairs is very unusual at games of this sort, and the officials are decidedly to blame for such ri- diculous order. There were °people froth Loudon, Stratford, Toronto, Mitchell, Exeter, Lunn, Parkhill and other towus and villages around, ell classes, all nationalities, all creeds, land in fact all colors, were evidently t atbered to see the sports, aid games. If ono cared to see the sports he would require to be perched upon a telegraph pole, as the amount of obtuseness on the part of some was almost intolerable.
