Williams or order, the sum of one hundred and fifteen dollars, in full, for Scott Act fine." About five months ago a hotel -keeper of Stephen township was charged with a Second offence of violating the Scott Act and a flue of $100 • and casts was itnposed by the P. M. The hotel keeper pleaded poverty and asked. for an extension of time covering tare mouths, This was grantec1 upon the hotel keeper furnishing his note endorsed by a responsible person; and of which the above is a copy. The note fell due the other day and payment was refused on the ground that the note was specific- ally- and illegally drawn and consequently of no value. Besides the magistrate tak- ing a note illegally constructed he was ompounding a felony in accepting one at • all as a magistrate is supposed to collect the money or imprison the ,offender. The Moon's Eclipse. The eclipse of the moon Sunday evening was awaited and watched by many eager eyes. For a time previous to the hour announced to occur the sky was clouded and it was feared an observation of bhe eclipee could not be bad. Finally the ‘cloucls cleared away, but to leave the sky ' partially °bemired by a heavy haze which suddenly arose. The moon, bow: ever, could be discerned and the observers in Exeter saw the first contact of the shadow of the earth's shadow which occurred at 9:40; the first contact of the actual shadow, 10:40; the totality of eclipse, at 11:45; the middle of totality, at 12:36 a. m.; the end of totality, at 1:18; the last contact of actual shadow, at 2:20; last contact of penumbra, at 3:20. The duration of totalitywas one hour and forty- . two nfinutes; the total duration of the eclipse, five hours and thirty.six minutes. The firet contact of the shadow occurred at 95* froni the northern point of the moons limb towards the east; the last contact of the shadow at 82° from the moon's limb towards the west. The moon is eclipsed by the earth passing between it and the sun. Once in every fifteen days the moon riasses between the earth and the sun -the time of new moon; and every „ -fifteen clays it is on the opposite side of the earth -the earth being between it and the sun; this is at the time of lull moon. It happens sometimes that the moon pass- ing.behind the earth receives the shadow -which the earth throws behind it, just as every illuminated object throws a shadow, When it is in this shadow the moon no liongee receives the light of the sun, and is blotted out as it were from the heavens; and. is eclipsed. ,The eclipse may be total VDT it may be metal, just as the full moon passes the full or partial shadow thrown by the earth. If the moon in its circle around the earth performed:an extra plane there would be a total eclpee of the moon every full moon and a tote' eclipse of the sun erery new 'moon, one of each every month with unfailing regularity., but the orbit. in which the moon moves IA inclined to its plane, consequently eclipses of both the sun and moon are very variable in number and magnitttle. There must be two every year; there cannot possibly be • mi less, There may be seven n number; there cannot possibly be more. Some - 'times the Moon rises after the eelipee has • began,. dmetitnes it sets before the earth's ehadow haseltogether pegged over ita disc; ,and when this happens, which ig often • 'eh% cage, the astronomer has not 'the advantage of witnessing the interesting phenomenon in alt its boaney. Sometimes eclipses ocenr in either the inornieg esreuing 'twilight, and agein the observer fe placed at a disadvantage,. A reason which merle the eelipse of Sunday eight imported was that another total eclipse of the moon, visible in Ameriea, will not encur for many yeers, the petits of the two orbs, the earth and the moon net - being agaia coincident until the l9tli den. tury hag passed away.

See posters and dodgers for full particulars, On Thursday last Mr. Alfred Cud. more, of the eth con., Usborne'while assisting at a barn raising on bhe farm of Mr Robt, Wood, had his hand. se- verely crushed by means of a heavy stone falling upon it. He will not be able to use the hand for some time. Now is the time when the bush fire reaches out its long red a.rins to embrace nature and causes the farmer and the hired. man to work over time trying to repulse it. Quinton's swamp has beets the first place visited this season. Mr. John Hawkshaw, of the Com- mercial, last week sold. his chestnut, carriage horse to Mr. Ed. Colman, of Seaforth, for n good sum. The animal is a good one and Mr. Colman will ere this have found it out. Mr. Parkinson has purchased his merchandise, and will this fall open his new store just north of the town hall with a new and well assorted stock of general goods. Mr. Parkinson has been a life-long merchant and is cog- nisant of the wants of the people. On the 17th inst. Mrs. Grant, of Sestforth, mother of Mrs. George Baw- den, of Exeter, and Mr. John Grant of Crediton, fell on the door step and oke her thigh bone. It is a very bad fracture and as the lady is 72 years old it is not very likely thet the bone will ever unite. Mr. Benj. McKenzie, who was arrest- ed here last week on a charge of being one of a gang of coueterfeiters, was examined at Sarnia yesterday; but as we go to press particulars have not come to hand. It is thought, however, that the detectives have hold of the -wrong McKenzie. The depredations committed by the sparrows are so great that the indig- nation of the farmers is becoming arous- ed, and they swear vengeance on the little pests. This year they are to be seen in hundreds in almost every wheat field, and close to the fences heads are completely threshed out. Ia many places a bounty of 10 cts. per dozen for killing, is offered. The funeral sermon of the late Robb. Howarcl was preached by the rector of Exeter, Rev-. S. F. Robinson, on Sun- day evening last. The sermon WEIS a eery interesting and impressive one, the text being chosen from the 16th chap- ter of St. Luke, a portion of the 26th verse : "Betweele us and you there is a great gaff fixed" etc. The Exeter base ball team went to Lucan on Friday to play a match with the "Irish" nine of that place. A very friendly game was played, resulting in a score of 16-11 in favor of Exeter club. The Exeter boys speak .highly of the treatment accorded. them by the Lucan club, and hope soon to have the pleasure of again meeting and defeat- ing the Lucan "Irish nine" in Exeter. number of the members of the Exeter brass band. were hay making on Thursday evening for Mr. Samuel Gid - ley. They blow considerable, but back it up by their work, they being vere? rapid hay -makers. In the short space of one -and -a -half hours they hand raked cocked and housed over an acre of good heavy hay. Is this not good work, rural readers, especially when it is known that they do not lay claim to being hay -seeds? The County of Huron is threatened with a law suit, Elliot & Elliot, of Ex- eter, making a demand for damages on behalf of Mrs. Hicks, who on the 16th of May last had a leg broken by being thrown from a buggy on or near the bridge crossing Fish Creek on the bound- ary between Usborne and Blanshard. It is alleged the bridge was defective and thus caused. the horse to run away. Mrs. Hicks wants $2,000, and will sue both Perth and Huron. The Salvation Army is struggling hard to keep together in Exeter. They have grown weaker, and their street parades attract but little setention. They are, howGver, not easily discouraged, and the captain and. the foremost members deserve credit for their assiduousness in retaining the few who follow the pro- cession. They talk of building a barr- acks, but we fear such will not eome to pass, at least until some new novelty is introduced whereby more interest will be centred in the Aelny. The St. Marys Arg0.0 says: --"It was disgraceful to see the scores of able- bodied men who never left their tracks to render assistance, either to the ftre brigade or the salvage corps."
