We have often wonderek how it was that millers throughout the country still adhere to the old custom of "taking toll" or giving so much flour, etc., for mo much wheat. Why not put this businees on the name footing as every other business? Why should it be a question of barter! Why should it not be a question of buy and sell' Buy the fernier's: wheat at kigest market price, • and sell him flour, bran or 'hods, just as he requires it, at wholesale prices. By this process nobody could be taken advantage of and a great deal of the dissatisfaction that we now hear of would be done away with.

Hs Irabibed too Freely. A man named Thompson, of Biddulph, came to Exeter Monday to buy e'ome seed barley. While here he imbibed ioo freely and became helplessly drunk. He got into his sleigh andfell asleep, allowing the horses to go home as they pleased. • He leen became paralysed and while going through town he lay on his back, mouth open, emitting heavy groan's. When opposite Dr. Browinghe constables Gill and Creech got into the 'sleigh, but ' apy amount of iffiaking,would not bring him to his senses. He was taken to one • :of the hotels the landlord of which 'sfigaged a couple of men to takithini 'home.The posture taken while passing through the street occasioned considerable exeitenient, and many were the conjecturests to his trouble.

Hamlin, has received from Mr. Wm. Dearing of Stephen township, a spring lamb some- what deformed and a decided curiosity. The lamb was dropped about three weeks, ago and is of uncommon size. Its body, save the head and neck, is well formed. The head is very small and does not contain any jaws, but rather was filled with a grizzly formation over which the skin had grown lightly, not even leaving an opening where the mouth is supposed to be; but underneath the head in the vicinity of the neck is a small hole through which it breathed during the few hours of life. The neck is very large and has many joints, and is attached to the head by a very small bone which joins yeculiar- ly. The brains were perfect, but the ears branch out from the lower part of the neck and almost join. The head is a curious one and it is well worth anyone's while to drop into Mr. Hamlin' s and view the lamb. Mr. Hamlin is courteous, and besides granting the privilege to nee the lamb, he will doubtless ,how and explain to any one his very large 4e1ection of other curiosities. Samwell & Pickard will show at their Millinery opening on April the Gth & 7th all the new and nobby New York and Euglhh novelties Also full lines of Silks Satins, Laces and Embroideries. .

Among the older of the residents of this neighborhood, who have recently passed away, is the Rev. John Hicks Eynon, a superannuated minister, and who has resided in Exeter for wine years. The deceased was born in Glou- cestershire, Eng., in the year 1801, and was therefore 87 yrs oldatfieath. When comparatively young he was converted to God, under the ministry' of Elizabeth Dart, a female preacher. of the F. C. church, to whom Ise wafienarriedinIV2. For several years he labored as a hacal preacher, and in the year of 1820 enter- ed the ministry of the B. C. church, with which denomination he labored in England until 1832, when he was ap- pointed to go to Canada as a pioneer missionary. In company with his -Wife he left England in that year, full of hope and determination, expecting to • reach Canadian soil in due course ; but crUring the voyage a severe stortia aiet them, the ship being driven back' from the neighborhood of Newfoundlindeto the coast of Ireland, whines elle\ was wrecked. Mr. Eynon losing his, baggage Returning to England. foranother outfit; -jt =Was 1833 before he 'reached Canada; began hia' Canadian 'Work at 4:414,,,. and was assisted in no kraall degie0,hy his wife. • The good cause).foe whiffiethey wrought grew rapidly; diMto their unabated energies* 'and soon other missionaries were sentlont to assist. Very soon Mr. Eynon' was ap- pointed to the post of Superintandent of missions in Canada, whiCh ',Position he held -for many years. In! -1859, ow- ing to illness, he was compelled to leave the active work, and was, during this year, .superannuated. The ofBee of • General Treasurer of the -B.• ary society was at this time • 4ii6h4ned•to him, which position he filled for many' years with much acceptance. On:super- annuation he settled in Darlington in -which place he lived until 1883, ;hen Ise came to Exeter, and here he lived until time of death. Deceased was twice married, once as above stated, and again in 1865, to Mrs. Ann Down, mother of Mr. John Down, farmer of Usborne township, seven years after the death of his first wife, which occurred at Darlington, in the year 1858, at the age of 65-ntesees.lt He was very much op- posed to the 1VIethoclist Union of 1884, and fought strenuously against it, but quietly acquiesced wheu the matter was decided. Rev. Mr. Eynon was a good man, a logical exhorter of the gospel and a fearless worker—welliittedincleed for pioneer work. He has frequenely, during his location in Exeter, occupied She Methodist pulpits, and although in- firm, could preach an eloquent and very impressive sermon ; and the con gregations were always pleased to• see him stand behind the sacred desk. He was of a quiet end retiring disposition, ancl was highly respected by allwho had the pleasure of his acquaintance. • He heel been ill but three weeks prior to his death, at first with bronchitis, then with an affection of the heart, which caused the vital spark to flee, his spirit passing to the land beyond. He had al- ways enjoyed comparatively good health and was ever willing to lend is helping hancl to promote the good work of Chris- tianity. Theremains were taken to Dar- lington on Friday for burial by the side of his first wife's body. 111•A A special meeting of the council was held on Wednesday evg,, to consider applications and to appoint a road commis- sioner.

A meeting of the Scott Act Associa- tion of the South Riding of Huron was held on Monday last in Fanson's Hall, Exeter. A large attendance of cleleg.atea from the surrounding municipalities were present. Mr. Werry, President of the Association, acted as chairman, and the Rev. Mr. Holmes, as Secretary. The or,genization of the diferent munici- palities for the purpose of opposing the repeal vote was the first business. This occupied considerable time and discuss- ion. The work was finally thoroughly cut out and assigned to municipal organ- izations and committees. The question of public meetings was then discussed. It was decided that, as tho Central Com- mittee was arranging for the introduc- tion of outside epeakers, the local organ- ization nee the local apeakers, and hold meetings in every point of thesurround- ing townships. Che usual invitation will will be given to the opponents of the Act to discuss its merits at all these meetings. The matter of finances was largely left to the municipal assifciations. The committee then entered upon the discussion of the present enforcement of She Scott Act. Several of the speakers referred to the present excellent state of matters in the adjoinine county of Mid- dleeex where intoxicating' liquor can scarcely be obtained, outside of London, and that its inipartial enfor4einent in Huron was due, therefore not to blem- ishes in the Act, but to those who were enforeing it, It was the unanimous feeling of the convention, that the Act would be more easily enforced in Huron than in Middlesex with London in its centre, and that those in whose hands the enforcement lies should eitherprop- erly euforce it or give way to those who would. As this Matter was earnestly discussed at the County Convention laet week, and steps takentowarcls a remedy, Me resolution was paned.
