Exeter is the open ditch running from the
east side of the village along Ann street,
throegh the heart of the business part of
the village. During the heat of last week
the stench arising from it was almost un-
bearable, and making its way through open
doors spa windows into the houses along
its cratfase made it not only unpleasant, but
is isource of danger to the inhabitants,
iere are a number of respectable dwell-
ings in its precincts which are at times ren-
dered almost untenable by the sour and heavy
stench eminating from this small creek, and
eie wonder the occupants do not rise up and
take stringent measures with the council.

It is learned that parties pretending
to he Ontario Government officials, are tra-
velling through the province Yictimizing
owners of steam threshing machines, and
other machines. They assert that a law
was passed last year providing all persons
within the province having charge of or op-
erating any steam boiler or other devices
under pressure of steam, and they claim to
have been appointed examiners with power
to license persons whom they deem com-
petent, and from whom they receiye the

quiredfee. It may be stated that sue

Mark Again at Law.
It will be remembered by our readers,
that some weeks ago, there appeared in
these columns a local concerning an able
bodied man lashing another, a smaller and
less capable man with a Aip. The per-
sons concerned were John IVIattice and
Mark Clarke. A few days after the occur-
renee, Mark, who had at a certain date
been ill treating one of his horses, wa3
taken before P. M. Williams, and sentenced
to 30 days in jail, thus depriving him of
an opportuuity of Jawing his assailant, at
least until his term in the county jail had
expired. Mark was taken to jail, where he
remained but fora few days, being released
'zbacesaid, the magistrate overstepped his
bounds in sentencing him there. Merk
returned to Exeter in the course of a week
and at once instituted proceedings agaiust
Mr. Mattice, who finding that he had
seriously erred and that the fine would be
serious, agreed to settle the matter by
paying $25.00. Mr. Mattice was bound
over to keep the peace for six months. We
learn that Mark will next try conclusions
with police magietrate Williams. Mark
says, it is indeed, a 'weary country where a
man 'ill not, sooner or later get revenge,
