Baxees.-On Friday _last the ratepayers luld a meeting for the purpose of nomina- ting police trustees. . The meeting was not very largely attended and was not as enthusiastic as it should have been. A great deal of nonsense was indulged in, and not much business done. This ie a wrong spirit of affairs and unless the ratepayers sympathize and go hand in hand with this movement we will be no nearer to having order established than belore, as unless the trustees have the ratepayers to back them they can do nothing and we may as well be without police protection. This has since been clearly demonstrated by actual experience. About a dozen parties were eominated, and all but three resign- ed ; the three remaining being eleoted by acclamation, viz ft. Kilpatrick, F. Wuerth and 0. Kibler. It is as yet not definitely known, who of the three will receive the office of polioeman, but we trust thab who- ever is appointed, lee will do his duty faithfully and that the people of the village will assist him in every pessible way. -Mr. Balkwill of St. Karts, has opened out a barber shop in part of the premises tem. pioa by Messrs.

ENTERTAINMEET.-The entertainment on Friday evg. last, was a decided bUCCeSS. Long before the hour of starting, the largo capacity of the town hall was fully occu- pied and seats could not be had. The baud discoarsed some selections, after which Mr. V. Betz took the claair and the programme was dispensed with. The 'first part was taken up by the school children, who did admirably and deserve great praise. Their dialogues were inter- spersed with violin and organ selections by Metiers. John Grant and George Zwiker, which were greatly applauded. The died logne, The poisoned Darkies," created a great deal of laughter, and the chairman had considerable trouble in keepmg order while it vvas being rendered. The Moder- garten Seep were also a very pleasing feature and arealways well received. The seeond part was a stereoptioan exhibition by the headmaster of Parkhill high school which lasted about three quarters of an hour, and duriug which a great deal of disturbance was carried on. The views displayed were both amusing and instructs ive, carrying one from the wilds of Amer- ica to the Alps of Switzerland. The views were, without exoeption, the best ever exhibited here, and were alone well worth the price of admission. The pro- ceeds were about $41.1)0, and will be ap- plied to the school library. To the Editor of the Exeter Times DEAR STR.-1 notice in several news- papers, published in this comity, the starting of, a new society called the "Sons of Rest." No doubt the writer of said articles thinks he has done something clever, but the more intelligent portion of society cleetn such productions very in- sulting, and whilst they ate not surprised that there may be some person in every society who may have so little self-respect or respect for the feelings of their fellow creatures, as to inn the articles in ques- tion, they feel astonished to think that the editor of any respectable paper would allow space for such scandals, s As the only object the writer of those articles had in view was to put contempt on those whose natnes are mentioned in connection with said fictitious society, the whole statement is falsehood, and I must say that it is a lamentable state of Society, that allows any pergola who con- siders himself sufficiently mean to malign henget and respectable pecsple through the columns of a newspaper, merely be- cause he can do so and no person will know who the writer is, except the editor ; and when the editor allows such an article space in his columns and with- holds the, writer's barna, he must be con- sidered as endorsing the statement made ; and in refusing to give the writer's name,' he ;should be held responsible for the writing. The objet of the writer as before stated, 18 to lower the sociel position of those whose names are mentioned. For example (asappears in (oclerich Star) the tout "the queen and royal family" which (gays the writer) was drank in silence hereby wishing to make out that those persons identified with said society, are not loyal. Agaih, George Edworthy was (says the writer) eleeted most worshipful vagabond and as a consequence all the members of said eociety and thoee desir- ing admission are vagabonds alio, Now as those papers containing those artioles tietvel hundreds of mike in Ali directions and read by thousand e people,of many of the parties whose names are mentioned inalconnection withthe Sons of 'Rest will be reectly recognized LI those distant readers, who will be arstonished to tee said names mixed up witlissthise who would not drink a toast to the ueen. Agein "CentrEtlitt, Sops o Rest." Quito a number of Cettralia's respectable in- habitants are identified as belonging to said fictitious SOciety.
