Tcttlnewety,
On Friday last (24th) as two young
gentlemen, of Blyth, were driving down
plain street, in Exeter, their horse took
fright at a passing bicycle, and turning
sharply to one side turned the buggy com-
pletely upside down and threw the ocou-
pants outon their heads. The young men
were not injured, but the buggy was con-
siderably broken. The horse freed itself
and galloped but a short distance before
being caught.
The Frost,
The weather last week was unusually
cold for the time of the year, the nights
being exceptionally so, Each morning
people interested iu grains, fruits and
vegetables, arose early and anxiously ex-
•.amined their fields and gardens. 1 erten-
ettely the frost did but little damage, the
vegetables and spring grains faring worst,
the fruit escaping injury. Any damage
•done has been, in the greater part,retrieved
by the recent rains, and unsatisfactory
rvesults are not anticipated lest the low
temperature returns. Since the above was
put in type we have had another visitation
.of the frost, and on 'Tuesday night every
thing'perishable was cut down, the young
'fruit being killed entirely.

- :The fishing season has opened at the
lake, snd some good catches are being
made. Exeter is daily visited by the fish
vendors, many of whom, wo notice, are
offerug for sale, white fish the size of
small herring. The fish are doubtless of
last year's fry, and to catch and offer thetas
for sale is against the rules of the fisheries
department. Our friends at the lake had
better beware. A violation of the law in
this respect is punishable with severe
penalty.

,Prof. Beaton in Highland Costume with
bagpipes gave .some Scottish airs in
good style. The marches played by the
bands were well executed and appreci-
ated by the spectators. The dogs
attracted attention. There wore some
15 in number, and each was led by a
boy in character costume. There fol-
lowed two tall executioners for non
winners at dog race who wore appropri-
ately attired and who lilted their parts
:well. Last but.not least in the pro-
cession was the platform wagon, on
which the Mugville Negro Mutation
Horne was illustrated bypractical scenes.
There were several darkies composing
the gathering and all seemed to enjoy
themselves and did so in cuioh a manner
as to raise much outhiissasm among the
spectators. The procession was not
long but was good, and atter being mar-
shalled through ,the principal streets
was halted at the town hall, where the
reeve, Dr. Rollins, delivered a terse
and eloquent address of welcome. : The
bands then marched to the base-
ball grounds, followed by a goodly por-
tion of the crowd; and after getting
matters in shape a -game of base ball
was played between the Clinton and
Exeter clubs.The: game, was a walk-
away on the part of Exetor, 'and there
being no sport in witnessing. such, the
crowd soon dispersed. The Exetor boys
played well and soon told that the Clin-

Portraits Flee. —�—
A Chicago firm are issuing thousands of
plausible circulars offering an enlarged
portrait free, to advertise their business
in the respective localities. A large num-
ber of these circulars wore received at the
Exeter Post Office last week for citi-
zens ofthP town., An exchange in comment•
ing on the circular, so accurately describes
our views on it that we cannot do better
than quote from it as follows : "This
looks pretty and reads smooth on paper,
but the fact that the Co. make the same
offer to a score or more of people in the
same place suggest that there is an Africa'.
lathe woodpile. After you have sent in
your order and photo you receive. another
circular from the company, containing cuts
of what appear to be very handsome and
costly frames. The necessity of framing
your portrait, and the great advantage of
ordering your frame from the Co. is referr-
ed to in a plausible style that is very apt
to accomplish the object desired. The
prices of the frames range from $15 to $20.
When the portrait arrives, which may not
happen for several months after giving
yoar order, it on first appearance looks all
right, but on close examination the portrait
will be found to be a cheap crayon daub,
and the frame a gilded delusion. People
who expect solnethiuiefor nothing generally
get left, and it is a safe rule to have no -
kind'
thing to do with all such schemes of this
—�--
The First Act a Failure.
At alate'meetiug of the Board of Trade,
the first question which the council chose,
for the purpose of enacting and Mermen
business circles, was that of endeavoring
to get the merchants to discontinue 'the
purchashing of butter and eggs ; and a
deputation was appointed to interview the
yarious dealers. The interviews have
taken place, but with little success -some
of the merchants agreeing not to handle
the produce while a greater number will
not consent to abandon the trade. In a
small place like Exeter it is hard to deter-
mine whether the proposition as advanced
by those who have the matter in hand,
would work. The merchants here, depend
principally on country patronage, and
while the handling of the butter and eggs.
is considered little work, they realize a
small profit on the goods given in trade as.
well as on batter and eggs when disposed
of to shippers. As far as Exeter is con
corned, we feel certain that the farmers
can do as well with their produce -or
nearly so -as with 'the cash. The "coin -
petition between the merchants is keen
and all will vie with one another as to
giving the highest prices and the best
possible value in return.. We have a cash
market for these articles, and if farmers
think they can do better by disposing of
their produce there they are at liberty to
do so ; and if they choose to go direct to
the merchants, why, allow them to do so.

Postal Changes.
There have been some very important
changes made in thepostal regulations
which do not appear tohe generally known
or understood and wetake this opportunity
of bringing them to the notice of our
readers, The most important change is
that of increasing the letter weight from
a half canto to one ounce and making the
registration charge uniformly five cents
instead of 2 cents for domestic and 5 cents
for foreign. The charge for drop letters
is one cent as before in all places except
in cities for dilivery by letter carriers.
Book Post to the U. S. is ono cent for
every two ounces, instead of four oz's.
A very important change has been made
in the regulationconcerning domestic
Book Post, Printed matter and packages
of seeds, cuttings, bulbs, roots orgrafts
and patterns, or samples aro still carried
for one cent per four ounces, while on
book or newspaper manuscript, printers',
proof sheets, whether corrected or not,
maps, prints, drawings, engravings, litho-
graphs, photographs, sheet music, either
printed or written, documents partly
printed or written, not being lettere, such
as deeds, insurance policies or other docu-
ments of a like nature, • the rate of postage
is one cent for each two oz's or fraction of
two oz's. Thei a is an initial prepayment
of 5 cents en legal matter and of 2 cents on
samples addressed to the U, S. Parcels
may be sent by post to Groat Britain, the
rate being $5 cents per pound, or fraction
of a pound. The rate of postage an letters
to New South Wales, Tasmania, Vietoria,
and Queensland, and also to New Zealand,
via San Francisco, has been reduced to
12 cents. Eaph hook packet should con -
tem an,, matr•ie stating the; name and
address of the sender so that if by Any
means the packet cannot be forwarded, it
may be returned td the sender.
