John Wilkie, Preobyterian missionary in India, who is making a tour of Canada in the interests of that work. gave a lecture in the Presbyterian church in Exeter. He tersely ctescribed the circumstances and needs of the people of that country, as witnessed throughout Indore and gave a lucid account of the work accomplished through missions. His descriptions are deeply interesting and calculated to inspire his hearers with thankfulness that their lot is cast in a christen country. The attendance was eomparatiyely small but much interest and sympathy was manifested by the liberal collection. rev t � es. it 1.. .. -.. Great bargains in velveteens at Parkin- son's. R. Kinsman, dentist, has purchased Mr, John Renton's property on William Large Yields. • "This has been', a season of big crops, and the Standard has recently mentioned several remarkably large yields, but Mr. Geo. McDonald has beaten the record out of sight. Off two acres heltook 1500 bush- els of maneolds, 150 bushels of potatoes, and 100 bushels of turnips ; and off eleyen acres (the whole comprising one thirteen acre field) 1575 bushels of corn. 3325 bushels as the product of thirteen acres is not at all bad forpoor Ontario, and Ridge - town would like to hear from Kansas, Dakota or Tennesse.—Ridgetowu Stan- dard. This is a remarkably good yield, but we are inclined to think that the Standard is stretching it. However, we hope that Mr. MCD. has realized such a return, as it is our pleasure to wish the farming community unbounded success. street. Friday and Saturday were busy days in town. Immense quantities of grain were marketed, and merchants report business as having been good. The very best sealettes for $S. at Par• kinn's, Mrso. John Evans intends erecting a hand- some residence next summer, and says he will have it ready for occupancy unusual- ly curly. You can buy new goods at bankrupt prices at Parkinson's. The roller rink will t111 be under the old management—Messrs, Davis At Ren- dle —and will be opeued regularly as soon as the season commences. Secure some of the bargains at Parkin- son's. Bev. Mr, Thompson, of Centralia, oc- cupied the pulpit iu the James-st. Meth. church on Sunday evg. last, Mr. Hartnoll preaching in the morning. The other clay Mr. Win. White of Stephen, fell off one of the barns on the farm, and seriously sprained oue of his ankles and arms. He was in Exeter the ()thee day and carried a support. Mr. W. 11. Hutchins is putting a steam barley -cleaner in his store house, here. By this addition to the machinery Mr. Hutchins claims advantages over other buyers. You can get more goods at Parkinson's for the money than any other place in Town and dont you forget it. For several days last week the 'Sauble was frozen over sufficiently thick to per- mit skating, and all the young folks availed themselves of the healthful exer- cise. Mr. John Renton sold his household effects on Saturday and will leave shortly to engage in the work he has chosen-- travel'ing in the northwest. We wish hien prosperity in his new uudertaking. Every one is happy who buy their goods at Parkinson's. Now that wheat has gone down, farm- ers are marketing the cereal in large quan- tities, out of fear of the price still reclin- ing. There is a probability of the price again going up during the months of Jan'y and Fahy. The Salvation Army have had the building, recently purchased, moved onto their premises ; and the carpenters are now engaged remodelling it. It will make a good barracks, and will be ready for occupancy shortly. The building was formerly used as fire hall and lock-up. See how we do it. Allwool flannel 16e; heavy ticking 9c ; good cotton, 3;jc ; satin merv. at 65c worth $l, and mens' overcoats almost for nothing. A horse which has been roaming about the streets of Exeter for some time was impounded the other day. An owner not having turned up in due course the beast was sold under the keeper's hammer to Mr. .Tames Creech for 10 cts, who after- wards sold it for $1.00. Bargains, bargains, bargains. Great is the slaughter of goods that is ndw going on at the big Bankrupt store, Exeter. The Parkhill Review publishes cin item regarding the TIMES' mention of Parkhill and Forest becoming towns, by special Act of Parliament, in which it prints that the TIMES asserted that these towns are chumps. Our statement was the opposite that they are not chumps, etc. While a number of young folks were skating on the river Monday night, in the dark, a couple eollided, with the result that Miss Weekes was knocked down upon the ice and sustained a severe cut in the back of her head. She was picked up insensible, taken to a neighboring house where the scalp was stitched to- gether by Dr. Rollins. She is progressing favorably. The annual meeting of the Usborne plowing association, was held at Walper's hotel, on the 14th, the President, A. Robertson, in the chair. The taeasurer's book showed a balance of $16.90 on hand. It was decided to have a match next year. The following officers were then elected for nextyear : President, Wm. Monteith vice-president, Samuel Hunter ; treasurer Thomas Cameron ; secretary, J Balhrn• tyne. Directors.—John Allison, Win. Bowman, S. R. Horn, John Duncan, jr., and Abel Wolper. Grab them quick. The bargains at the big Bankrupt Store, Exeter. More goods for $1.00 than elsewhere for $2. Elgin Division Grange will memorialize the Provincial Government to change the Ditches and Watercourse Act, so that the appealhe to two competent farmers, assisted by an engineer, and their decision be tinal, and not as at present to the County Judge. They also ask that the County Councils be made less cumber - sane and expensive, and that the assess- ment act be so amended that all properties be equally assessed, i. e. every class of property, as the stook on a farm is assess- ed,and the grain is exempt ; also, while the stock producing farmer is doubly assessed, the moneyed man who holds his property in mortgage security is exempt. If you want to meet your friends call at the Big 13ankrupt store, Exeter. AIways go with the crowd. While exercising his "blood" on Tues- day afternoon, Mr. I. Handford met with a mishap which nearly cost him his life. He had -the beast hitched to a sulkey and was driving leisurely up Main-st, when the lines fell from his hand ; be made a quick and sudden reach for them, and in so doing his feet slipped from the foot - holes and be falling between the cross -bar and gearing, the sulkey toppled over. Mr. Handford was dragged a couple hundred yards on his face, when the rig righted itself again, leaving him on the ground and thus saving the rider from a horrible death. Or had the horse been in the least addicted to kicking, Ivlr. Band - ford's chances for escape woold have been meagre. The sulkey was badly wrecked, but the horse escaped injury. Hotel Keepers, Attention! The attention of the hotel keepers is called to the Act passed in the last session of the Ontario Legislature respecting the prevention of accidents by fire in hotels and other public buildings. For the ben- efit of the hotel keepers of Exeter we give a synopsis of the leading provisions in the act mentioned. The Act came into force on Nov. 1st last and it is required that every hotel shall be furnished with a ladder outside the building, to be built of iron, attached to the wall, with a railing on each side and capable of holding at least six persons at a time. In addition to this there will be placed in each bed- room a rope not less than 2 of an inch in thickness and of sufficient length to reach the ground below, likewise there shall be posted up in each of the sleeping apart- ments a notice calling attention to the said fire escapes, and containing full direc- tions for the use of same, as well as a des- cription of the outside stairway and the situation and means of egress to the same. The duty for the enforcement of the act is in the hands of the Inspector of the district in which the hotel is situated. 134:Cas Five -Dollar Notes, This week quite a few $5 bills on the Hank of British North America have been passing around. They have check letter D. on them and dated July 5th, 1377. The face of the Queen, at the right of note is poorly executed. Eyes have an out- ward cast; outlines of nose and mouth imperfect. .At lower left, Britannia with trident is poorly engraved; and a white line appears around the lower portion of shield, which does not on the genuine; also at left centre, under word"Incorpor- ated," is a blank space, while on the gen- uine note two curved lines appear, which are omitted on the counterfeit. On the back of the counterfeit note in the words Bank of British, the letters "os" are ir- regular. Note is about inch. shorter than genuine. Paper fair, and likely to deceive. The public should'bear in mind that the Bank of British North America have no issue of ,S'5 notes as far back as 1877, as their issues have been withcalled twice since that date. The Bank is now issuing $5 notes from a new plate, having a large portrait of the Queen in the cen- tre. Let the public look well to this. Personal. Mr. D. McKay is home spending a abortvacation.—Miss Archer, sister of Mr. R. H. Archer, of the lfolsons' Bank, left Exeter of Thursday for New York, from which plane she will take passage for Lon - den. --Mr. Wm. Hughes, of St, Thomas, is visiting friends in town; -Mrs. D. Braund of Exeter North is visiting friends in Owtanna, Minn.—Messrs. John Balk - will and A. Stanlake, who haye been at the "Soo" during the summer, are home to while away the winter months.—Many Exeterites attended the opening of the "Mount Carmel" church at Oita, on Sun- day last:—Miss Cora Van Tassel, of Clin- ton, is the guest of Miss A. Gregory.—Mr. Hutchins has been in town several days.— Mr. S. N. Hooper and Sidney Coleman of St. Marys visited Exeter Sunday. ----Mr Wn).Drew is laid up With an attack of paralysis in the face.—Mr. James Ache - eon of St. Marys, WAS in town during the forepart of this week.—Rev. B. Clement, of Exeter, preached missionary sermons in Parkhill nn Sunday last.—Mr. G W, Holman has been asked by the Executive Committee of the Ontario Teachers' Association to read a paper at its oexttneeting at Toronto in Augnst'89. As Mr Holman has only been a member of that Association for two years, it shows that his abilities as a teacher have been early appreciated by the authorities of the Association. We eongratulatoj our W. friend on winning this distinction, as it is an honor conferred on a very few, lUfr.

On the commend rforward,' the brethren stopped ot1 as one mao, and centinuod in order, dressing, and step like so manyxegulars, thus evidencing their close study land attention to order and drill. two important features of the sooie- ty. Arriving at the Presbyterian church a (matter -march was performed by the brethren and the officers allowed to pass through the lines into .church. The brethren wore allotted to seats in the centre of the church which were kindly reserved by the congregation for them. The Rev. Martin haying read from the 10th chapter of ,Luke, chose as the sub- ject of his discourse the parable of the good Samaritan, more particularly that part of the parable contained in the 37th verse of said chapter, ''Then said Jesus unto him, go, and do thou likewise," The reverend gentleman in treatment of bis subject and iu demonstrating the adaptability and applicability of the Scripture to the proper working and con- stitution of the order of Independent Foresters and all other benevolent socie- ties, developed keen thought and as many of the brethren afterwards remarked, brought forcible and convincing logic to bear upon his every utterance. It might here be observed that this characteristic is always a "fort" with Bev. Martin. Air Martin very carefully reviewed man's duty to man regardless of creed, sect, nationality or society and strongly ex- horted the brethren to continue in their good work within and without the order. He believed that charity, love and mercy, man for man, begets love for God, and in a most beautiful poem recited some practical theology touching upon that thought. After seryiee the brethren re- formed into !procession and marched back to the ball, and the court having been called to order, a resolution of thanks was passed to Rev. Martin for his in- structive and pleasing address. The visiting brethren were then billeted amongst the local brethten for dinner, and court adjourned until 3 o'clock At that hour the brethren reassembled in the court room, when the good and welfare of the order was freely and profitably discussed. .About 5 o'clock the court was closed with prayer and the brethren separated more than ever resolved to advance ]their order in liberty, benevo- lence and concord. Notes—We noticed among the visiting officers. Bros. Leigh, Kirkton ; bro. Kerr, Crediton ; bro. Young, Crediton ; bro. Dulmage, Kirk - ton, and many others whom we were pleased to see. Bro. Eae,rett is evidently an experienced Marshall, not a hitch did he 'herein his gorgeous procession. The new regalia of Court Exeter deserves special mention. It is as nobby a one as we have seen. The church musical ser- vice under the leadership of Mr. J. P. Ross was well rendered so say all tha brethren. Look out for E. H. Fish's advertise- ment next week, E. U, P. Sermon Last Sunday being the second anniver. nary of Court Exeter No 123, Independent Order of Foresters, it was determined by the Court to officially recognize the divine blessings that have attended their order throughout the year, their dependence upon God for such blessings and their thankfulness to Him for the many favors enjoyed by them. Invitations were ae- coidingly extender) by the local court to Courts Crediton and Woodham, and a large representation from both these Courte assembled in the Foresters' Hall, here, some 60 in number.

The ceremony was per- formed in the Evangelical church by Revs. Hauch and Ortwine. After the nuptial knot had been tied the guests proceeded to the home of the bride's mother where all sat down to a sumptuous repast. After doing justice to the good things the guests enjoyed themselves playing various games, singing, and other amusements. After spending an enjoyable evening the guests departed wishing long life and suc- cess to the happy couple. 13y appearances It will rot be long before some more such events shall happen.
