The picnic i' Taylor's grove, in aid of the Catholic church, was a complete suc- cess, and everything passed off as was anticipated'. The grounds whieh are sit- uated on the shore of LakeHuron, were filled throughout the day, and everybody seemed to enjoy the affair immensely. The Exeter brass band was in attendance and made things lively by rendering choice selections for which they are noted. A large number, of Exeterites attended. The vote for the flag for the most popular hotel-keepar on the grounds was keen, the contestants being Hodgins of Hensall, and Brenner, of Grand .Bend. The par- ties for each man' did their best in col- lecting, but Hodgins came out ahead. by a close majority. The German music box was awarded to a Brumfield man, he hold- ing the lucky :ticket. The large horn was not given, owing to the lateness of the hour, when the sports were finished. Personal.

A meeting for the purpose of forming a Riffle Association was held in the Town Hall on Monday evening last H. L. Billings was elected chairman, and L. H. Dickson, secy.. Capt. Andrews addressed the meeting upon the objects and advan- tages of the intended association, in a very able manner, He said the main object of the Association wonld.be to lend an im- petus to the 'Volunteer company andpop- ularize thse same. It was riot intended, however, fo make the association at all e vexclusiye ; but to invite all men of good shooting reputation and men who will help th association. He' was followed by Lieut. Dickson, who in his usual master- ly style, pointed out the `:position . that the .Association would have in the Dominion Rifle Association. Also the difference between the members of the volunteers and non-rnembers, which is very slight with regard only to Some cer- tain privileges. The roll book was then opened and the following name inscribed as members of the Exeter 7iflle Associa- tion :--Capt. Andrews, Lieut Dickson, 'Lieut. 73illings, Sergt. W. R. Kerr, Sergt. 'T.

Quite a number of Exeterites attend- ed the Seaforth fair on Tuesday. The lightning rods on the Central hotel were repaired last Friday. The football entertainment will be field in Drew's Opera House to -morrow night. Mrs. Dan. Davis is at present very low and her speedy recovery is anxious- ly looked for. The. St. Marys and.

Wad -der -ward recently lectured in St. lefls•re s and the people of the stone town are of the opinion that the Rev. gentleman is an imposter.

LADIES. -Lovely Plushes and braids to snatch our new dress ;goods. JAMES PICKARD. The rains of Saturday night and Sun• day were welcomed by everybody in this section of country. "A large, num leer of wells had gone dry,b ut since the rain are inwol.in r -order. g Those in need of Fair printing should send in their orders , at once to the Teemsto avoid the rush on Fair day. We do neater work than any other of- fice in the county and" our prices are moderate. Mr. G. Page, formerly of Exeter, who recently had three of his fingers cut off in Kern's organ factory, Wood- stock, has nearly recovered, but it is probable thrit he, will not be able to work at his trade again. Two young men from this place vio- lated the fourth commandment last Sunday by going shooting in a bush not far from Exeter The boys' are well known and their names will be di- vulged if th ey repeat the act. The agents for the Globe Lightning Rod Company, of London were in Exe- ter last week and put up a number of lightning rods around town. Fred. Fisher and T. Coatesare among those in Usborne who had rods erected. The Exeter football club will likely play their return match - with Bruce - field next week. The boys should get out to practice and when they go- to Brucefield they willmake a better show- ing than they did in their last snatch' LADIES, -Don't` forget to see our Jackets, Cloths and Ulstering's. JAMES Plcl{ARD. The Exeter band this week issue a challenge' to any organization, or a scrub team, to play a game of ball.' There are some splendid ball players in the band and their challenge will be reluctentlaeven ,y accepted by a picked nine. The parlor social held in Dr. Rollins' residence last Friday night was quite successful and every person 'present. spent an enjoyable evening. A lengthy programme, consisting of instrumental and -vocal music was rendered, after which refre sliments were strived. On Wednesday night, the TIMES office nearly suffered a disastrous fire. A lamp which was placed on the mail- ing table upset .and broke into frag- ments on the floor, the oil igniting immediately. The flames were extin- guished, however, before they had made any headway. Sunday night, about eleven o'clock, after a slight ram, a bright light having the shape of a rainbow, appeared in the north-eastern heavens. The peculiar light lasted for nearly ten minutes, when it gradually disappeared from the ends like a rainbow. The moon, was shining at the time. A football match was played at Eden Monday by two clubs Captained by C. Coates and James Dempsey. After three hours' play Charles Coates' side was declared winner by a score of five goals to two. .A. first class club has beeh organized at Eden and is open for challenges from any outside team, LADIES. -Big lot of Ulster., Jackets, Dolmans, just arrived. at On Mondtiy evening last while those who are to take partinthe football con- cert were rehearsing in Drew's hall, sev- eral young men on the outside were conducting themselves in a very ungen- tlemanly manner much to the annoy ante of those passing by. If the boys repeat their conduotan example will be made of them. The tramps have struck upon anew and, as yet, very sedecesful begging scheme. Oil.o enters the house, saying that ire, has been looking for work all the morning, but could not succeed in getting any, and offers to buy a few slides of bread and butter. Whets he receives it he searches in his . coat to find, the money, Much to his apparentrent amazement lice discovers that it has fall en through a hole in his pocket and he offers to return the food.. His offer is never accepted and he gets, a good. meal besides tote of sympathy for his loss. Fire them Out Withopt delay.

FAIRBunx, Secy. Our townsman, Dr. Rollins, has re- cently disposed of a couple of pieces of land in Manitoba -480 acres in all—at remunerative prices. He reports an active enquiry for land just now, which is indicative of a good future for the prairie province. Messrs. Snell and White recently purchased a handsome pair of grey car- riage horses for a good sum ;• and have been successful in carrying off the first premiums at all shows yet held. For style, they are exquisite, while with re- gards syrnnetrical 'qualities they are types of perfection. The entertainment in Drew's hall un- der the auspices of the Football Club', to -morrow evening promises to- be `the best of the season. The committee has spared no pains and the programme is long and attractive, consisting' of tab- leaux representing nearly all ,the ath- letic games. The Italian harpers; of. London have been engaged for the evening. The affair will wind up with'. a comical farce entitled "Brother Gar - diner's at lepme."

McLeod received the appointment of Grand Standard Bearer of the Grand Chapter -of Royal Arch Masons' with the •rank of Very Excellent Companion, at the last grand Chapter meeting at Toronto. The appointment is an hon- orary one, and we compliment the Roy- al Arch Chapter, of Exeter on its achievement on such distinction ; also Mr. McLeod on his receiving such a ran k. Johnston, alias Mack, alias Gillies, of Lobo township, who some finis ago was committed at Crediton to stand his trial. for stealing sheep from a Mr. Box, of Stephen and Harvey, of :Usborne, has been sentenced by His . Honor Judge Toms to two months at 'nerd labor in tue common jail at Goderieh. For the first charge he was acquitted and on ac- count of the second offence the above sentence was given. It is felt here- abouts that the punishment meted out. by His Honor was not sufiicientlysevere as a man with so many, aliases and one guilty of so barefaced a theft should have had the full extent of the law. It is understood that the Postmaster General has decided not to enforce in future the regulationunder which. it has been required thatI q registration .charge made in the ease of registered letters should be prepaid by a special registra- tion stamp. Hereafter, therefore, any letter posted for registration, bearing upon it ordinary stamps to the amount covering the charge for registration, in addition to the postage charge; may be registed and sent forward to its des- tination.The cls i1 clump will doubtless bo appreciated by the country people, who leave heretofore in many cases suffered inconvienence by being compelled to go a long distance to obtain registration stamps. This fall, the Exeter market bids fair to be the central point for the farmers of the neighborhood, for a radius of 20 miles. Already vast quantities of all kinds of grain is being marketed here and the very highest prices are being paid—for instance $1 per bushel`'for fall wheat has been the ruling price for the past two weeks, Two courteous and willing buyers in th'e persons of Messrs.
