A Child Narrowly Escapes Death, While performing household duties one evening last week, Mrs. R, Pickard left the children in another rom, and iu a short time she was started by the cries of cue of the little girls. The child 'had taken the lamp in hand and was proceed• ing upstairs, when she tripped and fell, the oil spilling on her clothing and igniting, and when found was enveloped in flames. The child was wrapped in blankets, the flames smothered and she proved to be but slightly injured. 'Union Services, Onthe morning of Thanksgiving Day a union service cf the two Methodist and Presbyterian churches, was held in James street Meth. church. The attendance was exceptionally large, and after the opening services by Rev. Mr. Clement, Revs. Messrs. Martin (Presbyterian) and Wilson of Main-st. church delivered very approp riate addresses, both instructive and edi- fying, convictiye and eloquent. A good collection was taken up in aid of the poor of the town. Found Just in Time, What might have been a serious mat- ter resulted on Monday evg. Mr, and Mrs. Kerslake and a lad, Frank Oke, had retired for the night, the former closing the door of their room the latter leaving that of his room open. Later on, Master Frank became very sick and got out of bed to vomit ; but no sooner reached the floor than he fell forward against the dressing case and knocking the lamp upon the floor, awoke Mr and Mrs. Kerslake, who found him insensible upon the floor, having been overcome by escaping coal gas. village Council. The council met on Monday evg. at call of reeve. All the members present. Minutes of previous meeting read and confirmed. A number of accounts were presented, and on motion of Coun. Mc- Callum, see, by Coun. Pickard, orders were issued for the following :—S. Sand- ford, $34.S7 labor ; White & Sons, $40 printing ; James Creech, 810.39, oil, &c.; Jas. Creech, $6.38, charity ; E, R. Bissett $7.19 labor ; Jno. Moreshead, $2.00, do ; Jas. Balsden, $9.75, do : Al. Bissett, $4.75, do ; W. H. Moncnr, $13.35, nails, c4tc. ; W. J.

Dorward, 832.85, gravel ; Thos Hor- ton, $11.48, gravel ; the clerk, 850 part salary.—Mr. Kerslake waited upon the council and requested that the sidewalks crossing ditches at the various street corners be removed, and that substantial -culverts be placed instead, the crossings 'being dangerous to pedestrians during dark nights ; and very often when boards are broken, are equally unsafe ; also that a street lamp be erected on Andrew-st, on corner of Sanders street. Action de- ferred. -Moved by Coun. Carling, see. by Conn. McCallum, that the deputy -return- ing officers appointed to receive votes at the municipal elections be paid $2.50 each instead of $4, as heretofore. Deputy - reeve Bissett raised objection to the fee being reduced, on the ground that the work to be performed by these officers is difficult, and not only being an office of trust it is one in which considera'z1e un- known expense is entailed ; and accord- ingly moved in amendment that the fee be not lowered. Failing to get a seconder, he again moved:that each!deputyreturning officer receive 53, No seconder and the original motion carried.—The clerk re- ported having received $4 from M. J. White for rent of market house as booth in which No. 3. division vote was re- ceived during, Scott Act repeal election, which amount had been duly passed to the treasurer.—Complaint was male by a person on 'behalf of Johnnie Clark to the effect that the boy could not get his clothing which were ordered by the rounell to be made. Moved by Coun. McCallum, sec. by Conn. 13issett, that ,7rUa. Creech be instructed to procure Johnnie Clarxe's clothing for him. Car- rfed.--M r. Horrel of the Station street complained that his cellar, at every spell of wet weather, filled with water, and asked for an outlet. The council could do nothing in the matter, but to refer him to Mr. Isaac Carling, through whose ',premises runs a splendid drain, and from whom permission might be got for an out'et into said drain. --On motion. of 'Coun, Pickard, see, by Coun. Bissett, it -was resolved that a register through Which to permit the heat to pass into the clerk's office, he placed in position at auoe.—Ry law No. 15 1858; providing for the holding of the forthcoming municipal oleotions was read a first, second and third time and finally .passed, on motion of Conn. Piokarrl, sec, by Court. McCallum —In esoordanre with a recent enactment of the Legislature of Ontario, compelling ,every town village and l tocvnship council; to prepare a detatderl etatotnent of receipts and expenditure lifer the current year up to Dec. ,:lith, the treasurer was instructed to prepare the sate ethat itmight be present ed to the clectore before nomination day, ---Oo•motion, the condi adjourned, to meet on Satarday, Dee. 15th, at'7 o'clock sharp. Il,; ovines. l ieli's barber shop and the Conunereial Hotel are connected by telephone. In Brandon, Man.,wheat has gone down to OS eta. per bush. The price had ex- ceeded one dollar a few days ago. Brandon, Manitoba, is to have electric light. The prairie city seems to be stn• lancet with considerable enterprise. Mr. Jas, Howard, we understand, has commenced the erection of bis toboggan slide, on the west bank of the'Saable. Thanksgiving Day was very generally observed in Ontario. The people of West. ern Ontario, as a rule, have good cause for thankfulness, Wm, Hyndman, a citizen of Southern Manitoba, was ou his return from Exeter, Ont, whon he was robbed of forty dol- lars.—Brandon (Man) SEA. The proprietor of the defunct London Evening runes dropped 44,500 in a few months Yet some people think that a newspaper can be run without money. One of Mr. I. Armstrong's horses got entangled in a halter strap in his stable the offer night, and came nearly stang- ling to death, A very large and successful sale of farm stock, etc., took place in Centralia on Fri- day, being the property of air. Chas. Es- sery. Stock brought fair figures. On Sunday morning last mrther earth clowned the winter garb, to a thickness of two inches, The rays of old Sol, however, soon dispelled the covering Mr. John Popplestone, of 1+'xeter, a man 60 years of age, one day last week walked five miles in less than fifty 'minutes. This is considered good walking for a younger person. Messrs. Verity & Sons have let the con- tract for the erection of the foundry ; the brickwork to Messrs. Bawden & Howard, and the carpenter work to Messrs. Ross & Taylor, without tender. While digging a drain for Dr. Brown- ing the other day, Mr. R. Crocker was al- most smothered by its caging in. He was speedily extricated by his associate work- men. The stock of Messrs. Renton c¢ Co , of this place, invoiced at $1;550, was sold at London last week for 41,} cents on the , and is now being sold in Exeter by Mr. Wash Collins. It is current that Mr. Jas. Acheson, of St. Marys, and Thos. Acheson, of this place, will lease a hotel in Exeter. They are both good men, and would make very acceptable landlords. During the season Mr. Robt. Lang has shipped from Exeter station no less than 35 car loads of apples to different parts of the continent. There has been a large trade done in Exeter in this line. Typographical errors make a newspaper say some very curious things. They made a contemporary the other week say that Mr. had sold his entire Clydesdale mare, etc. No doubt it was intended imported Clydesdale mare. The other day while a couple Exeterites, with dogs, were driving along the Lake Road, the canines were set upon by a farm- er's dog. A ready application of shot sent the rural dog home, and saved the ,sound from an ignominious death. Grain is receding in price (examine the market reports) and it is the honest con- victions 'f the buyers that it will not again advance, but continue to go down in price. They assign as a reason for their statements the fact that the local milling market is glutted. The R. (3. church at Mount Carmel, Offa, will be dedicated on Sunday, Nov. 25th, His Lordship the Rt. Rev. John Walsh, of London, will preach in the morning at 10.30 ; and in the evening at 7, the Rey. John Brennan, of the diocese of Kingston, will discourse. All are in- vited. Thursday (Thanksgiving Day) a num- ber of Exeter sports visited a piece of wood near Winchelsea, and in a compara- tively short time killed over sixty black - squirrels. This is considered good work, especially since it is known that this class of game is very scarce in this neighbor- hood. Sportsmen complain of an ttnusnal scar- city of ducks. This is attributed to the low water in the extensive marshes, it being difficult to punt through them, even in the shallowest punt or duck boats. Mud hens however are quite numerous, and this generally unmoleated bird is now bagged in the absence of better game. Some petty thief entered the basement 'of the Main-st. Meth. church on Thursday, evg• last, in the absence of the ladies in charge, who were enjoying the literary part of theentertainmentand stole a quan- tity of cakes and butter. Who ever the thief may be extreme poverty must be at the door. Chief Gill received word, officially, that Heffernan, the horse and cattle thief, was sentenced to two years, less one clay, in the Central Prison, for having stolen a horse from the Sheriff of Wellington Co. The Chief has filed in the Sheriff's office the necessary papers for the transfer of the prisoner to the Huron Co. officials, upon his release. Dos fights are common occurances on Exeter streets of late. A dog belonging to Dr. Cowan seems to be "cock of the walk," and molests almost every doe -- large or shall—that it meets. On Tues- day it pounced upon a colley belonging to R. Davis, and in one grip lifted a large sized piece of flesh from the dog's back. The sports of Exeter, who, a couple of weeks ago, went to Muskoka on a deer hunting expedition, returned home Satur- day, bringing two fine deer. They re - Fort the neer somewhat plentiful, but ow - ng to some misunderstanding on the part of the members of the party, the "runs' were not properly watched ; the couse- gnence being the animals passed unnotie ed. On Tuesday last Messrs. McCaul and Mill, of Exeter, shipped from thislace 10 ear loads of apples to the Old Country. The scene at the station was a novel one. The large freight house was filled to oyer - flowing, and the platforms outside jam- med :and piled away up to the roof ; and the harrels no doubt felt bad, as they were in tiers. Mr. McCaul will go to the OM Coultry with them. ' Mr. I, Bowerman, of Exeter, received the other day e silver medal from a friend in London. Mr. Bowerman recehtly im- pported a team of Clydesdale mares, which he exhibited at theaVostern fair, London, ttnr'l a friend who was in attendance, ad- mired the team so much that he said they were entitled to more than the $12 prize, and accordingly sent Mr. B. a medal. The team was the best ever brought into Exeter, and Mr, Bowerman flays his next importation will eclipse the last. The post office department will soon Ione a style of postal card. It is much like the double cared of the present pattern, The back folds aro Split din. p f3 anally and open like a pointed star The four corners are folded and joined in the centre, When the card is ready for mail- ini/, with a piece of gummed paper. The eard weighs loss ° than half an ounce, and will contain no more writing than the present card, the only advantage being greater privacy. The Booths nucl Officers, At the last meeting of the Oouncil the different booths in each wa°Fct were select- ed, also the deputyaeturning officers for the forthcoming munioipal election.

On day last week while the chore boy was filling the lamps belonging to the dry - goods department of Mr. Jas. Pickard's store, and preparing then for the evening, he lit one to see how it would burin It burned splendidly, especially after it had got upset upon the floor. The blazing oil ran in all directions, and with the ap- plication of a little water, as an extin gnisher, it developed, until its scope be• came almost beyond control, and. the flames were only smothered in time to prevent the goods igniting, the counters being badly scorched. It was a narrow escape from a serious fire, Personal. Miss Kate Gould, who has been visiting in Goderich for the past month, has ere. tinned home.—Mrs. Wm. Bawden, of Clinton, is visiting Mr. John Anderson, of this place.—Miss McNally, who Inas been visiting her sister, Mrs. 1). Spicer, has re- turned to her horno in Hanover.—Mr. G.

Christmas comes next. The Trivitt Memorial church will be dedicated on Sunday, Dec. 23rd next. A meeting of the James-st. S. S. Band of Hope was held on Tuesday evening. The attendance was good, and the young folks apparently enjoy these entertain- ments. Having given conclusive proof of our large and increasing circulation, the mer- chants and others are availing themselves of the only paying meat s of reaching the community, and that by advertising in the columns:of the TrnEs.

Mr Wilkie has been in India nine years, and expects to return soon to his chosen work. Collection in behalf of Foreign Missions. Lecture to commence at 7,30 p. tn. The anniversary services of the Main- st. Methodist church were held on Sun day last. In the morning and evening Rev. Mr. McDonagh, of Strathroy, preach- ed eloquent, instructive and well -directed sermons to large and appreciative con- gregations. and we might say that the im- pression left in the minds of the citizens of Exeter as to the Rev. gentlemen's pithy yet convicting religious sentiments would raise a blush on the most repressive cheek. The collections were large, the amount usually given toward a public tea, having been placed on the collection plate, and the debt remaining on the parsonage was provided for. The oyster social, under the auspices of the main -street Meth. church, given on Thursday evg. last. was a success, not- withstanding the night being disagreeably wet. After all had been served with oysters together with the viands provided by the ladies of the congregation, the audience repaired to the body of the church where a splendid program, consisting of vocal and instrumental music, recitations, &c., was rendered. The excellent choir also ably assisted by the rendition of sev- eral new and choice selections. All seem- ed heartily pleased, and many were the utterances of praise to the choir for their successful efforts in getting up the enter- tainment. We haye not learned the entire receipts, but they were applied to the or- gan fund. TWIN Mc(URDY, Kirkton, Is- suer of Marriage T.icenses, Agent for Can adv.
