until about two o'clock in the afternoon, when
a neighbor who had heard the noise went to
eee what was going on. The old gentlemen
was surprisect when be beard it was Sunday,
and borrowed a Sunday suit to go home in,
and begged the neighbor not to say A word
about it. • When he reached home and in-
formed his wife of the gross mistake, she too
was conscience stricken, as she had scrubbed
and was doing her Saturday's work. We
think the old man had better adopt Robin-
son's Grime's plan and make a scratch on

Sunday, so that in future such a mistake will
not occur, If being quizzed is doing pen-

ENTERTAINMENT. —The most successful
entertainment ever held in Crediton was
held iu the town hall on Friday evsning last
under the auspices of the Orediton Public
school. The teachers have good reasons to
feel gratified with their success. as never
before was there such a large gathering at an
affair of the kind in Crediton. It is estimated
tint between five and sit hundred persons
were in attendance, the hall being fairly
packed. The programme was long, the only
fault and that is a good one, and well ren-
dered. The children did excellently and
deserve great praiee. The dialogues by the
grown up folks were also well receive.: and
caused considerable laugl:ter, especially the
ones entitled. "The train to Mauro," "Wo.
man's Rights," and "The Tailor Shop."
We think that if some of the great woman
uffrage adyocates had been iu attendenee

What's the Matter.
To Editor of the Exeter Times.
Now, what's the row about the toun,
And why is a' this clatter, inan ?
The farmers a' are speerin roun'
To find out what's the matter, man.
The Council a' both great and sine'
Will hang at next election, man,
Because they all refused the hall,
And hae no escaped detection, man.
The cranks say all, ye must gie the hall,
To try our Scott Act cases, man ;
The Council say, `No, well not do so
Till some one asks for gall grasses,' man.
Poor Scottie he threatened but (nobody
, [f rechtened)
To breakdown the &tore Of the hall, man;
But the Magistrate wrote a, most polite note,
And he met with no trouble At all, 'man.
Clinton's Scottie s' the lad that aye gets mad
When cases are far between, man ;
He gets so much a case. You can tell by
[his face
That foe cash he is unco keen, man.
Scott's ill to please. 'Wi all his fees
For trials, he's still craving for moreanan;
He wants the Inspectors and otherDirectors
To come on wi' cases galore, man.
Oh 1 Scottie's the boy for the temp'renee cry;
Oh ! Scottie's a chap of great bounty
(He makes siccan faces.) For a' his grinea,ces
He's paid in geid cash by the county.
,
Oh, Scottie! Oh; Scottie! Oh; 'ee1 do 1 wot
(Ye ;
It's eash and no temperance ye're after.
Wi' the face that ye carry, no wonner ye
[tarry
Wi' a job then whilk no job is safter.
His face is 5 study. His blnid is na ruddy;
He as white as his liver; nae whiter ;
But cash is hie allin' ; we a know he's faille'.
Then why not draw ScottAet reins tighter.

tering as many deer as the pot -hunters.
