One of the 'nest disgraceful nuiseteces 111 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. 13y allowing this nuisance to continue the council is liable to be indicted under the clause of the municipal eat, providing for the prevention of nuisances.

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, -- Personal.
