game was dressed and eat up on the Promi-
ses where shot and brought to Exeter,.
Tuesday the guilty iiiinrocls no doubt fearing
that the cat would get out of the bag, and
thatthey would be prosecuted for etiolation
of the game law, went before one of the
Magistrates, pleaded guilty, and paid the
fine of $10 togethee with $5 costs, They
state that it was not ignorance of the law
that caused the shooting of the deer, but,
that they killed it after several unsuccessful
attempts to chase it from their midst, IV
•eport who would not shoot a deer under the
circumstances as related by these two gen.
tl'enten, would indeed posses a firm. and very
resolved mind.
&Medan MArmse---On Thursday hist
Mr. Thos. Oke, of the Central Hotel, held a
grand shooting match, at which many from
London, as well as the Exeter Gun Club,
took part. The day was most favorable
and there were a great many people present.
in the match for the supper, sides were
chosen, one captained by A. Sheete, and the
other by I. Handford. There were thirteen
men on each. side. Capt. Sheere's side kill.
ed 46 birds, while •Capt. Flandford's side
killed 49, thus electing Mr. Sheere and men
to stand the slipper. There was also a
match for the sweepstakes, (23 entries,) of
which the following is the score :-

The sweepstakes were divided between
four contestants, W. E. Sanders receiving
$9, whileGeo. Vosper, Robt. 8anders and
W. J. Carling received $5.50 each. The
matches throughout were conducted setts
tactorily to all, for which Thos. Oke merits I
the utmost commendation.:
NOTES.-Mesars. Handford and Sheere
Captains of the pigeon shooting match, both I
inspired with the idea that one was a bet
ter shot than the other, arranged for a con-
test which came off on. Saturday last, at 9
birds each, for a, stake Of $10. It resulted
in Sheere killing, four birds, Hanclford three.
It will be seen by the above score that W
E. Sanders headed the list. This young
resides in Stephen Township, and made his
delnitat this match. Many of the older
sports, no doubt, incensed on account of
being beaten by one who has never made
himself known as a marksman began to dim
challenges. And as an outcome of consider-
able parleying a match between Thos. Bia-
sed, jr. ,and W. E. Sanders was -arranged
the Messrs. Stanlake backing Sanders. The
match is fov $30 a side, each man to shoot
at thirty birds. There is considerable in
terest taken in this match and numerous
smaller bets are made daily. -During the
match on Thursday last several persons
narrowly escaped being shot at the hands of
"skirters" who were numerous. Mr. L
Hardy and John Barnes were each shot in
the face. Shots directed at escaping birds
also entered the houses of, John Snell and
Walter Westcott, in the former instance a
little girl being shot in the neck and face.
At matches pencils on theseatskirts should
exercise more care, and "look before they
shoot," as the life of some spectator might
easily be • taken through carelessness in
this way.

The C. P. R. exhibition car ladened with
all manner of produets of the Caaadien
Neth -west, which visited Exeter, recently
aroused considerable exeitement, and
created a depire asnolig the residents a this
locality,- to visit the great fertile belt, And
as.a censequence, it is stated, that there
will be a yast exodus of people front here
to the North-west in the epriiig. Copstder-

The Cow By -Law.
At a, meeting of the village council lad
Wednesday eve/lingoes was paragraphed in
these columns last week, the long pending
amusement t.) the cow.by.law 'leas 'passed.
The clause ia not framed strictly in accord-
ance with the requisition which celled for
the closing up of the bovines between the
hours of seven o'clock, p.m., and six o'clock
a.m., during the summer months; but it
provides (and possibly more judidiously) for
the closing up of the cows between the
hours of 8 o'clock in the evening and 6 in
the morning, from the 15th day of August,
uutil the •1st day of November. This
aaneudment simuld find favor With both
• parties, for during the prescribed months'
ehove the pasturage on the hightveye and
by -ways is very poor, and cows ars as well
closed up; while On the other littud the
vegetable gardens are at their best,
and are thus protected from
the ravages of the wandering and breezily
bovine. There is some talk of this question
being an important factor in the forth.
coming election. This we cannot credit.
But if there be a desire on the part of any
o have the amendment recinded, let such
be renounced with the utinoet efficience
The by-law as it now reads is ttt all intents
and purposes absolutely correct, that is as
far es giving both parties equai rights, is

The examination this year was more
difficult than previous examinations. The
Educational Department, finding the sup-
ply of teachers greater than the demand,
increased the work in some subjects an&
made other subjects compulsory which were
formerly optional. Sixty per cent or 540
marks were required to pass. The follow-
ing candidates were successful.
