At 1.30 o'clock on Saturday the
Exeter brass band, after forming into
line at the band room, marched to the
depot to receive the Exeter company of,
volunteers on their return front camp'.
A number of the citizens also greeted
the company by extending a hearty re-
ception. Upon the arrival of the train
the band and volunteers were formed
into procession, and marshalled by Capt.
Andrews, were marched down town,
where further greetings were offered
them.

The Crops,
The season has now too far advanced
for any further serious damage to occur
to the crops. The continued heavy
rains of several weeks ago have not re -
suited as seriously as was at the time
expected. Fall wheat in a great many
instances has headed out nicely and will
cni an average yield fairly well, Spring
.grains' look splendid while hay is short
and far below the average crop. If no -
!Ching ontoward happens to injure the
present condition of the crops, there is
every reason to believe that the harvest
Will be, on the whole, better than it has
been for several years. There is no
doubt that fruit will be scarce. In the
line of apples the reld willbo extremely
poor especially in this locality. There
will be a few early apples, but fall .and
winter fruit has been either killed by
the frost or blown off by the Several

The matrimonial fever has-been waging
in Exeter this week among the widowers,
two of whom have taken unto themselves
blushing brides, to share the toils and
'pleasures of their 'later days. On Tues.
day Mr James Miller, a highly respected
resident was wedded to Miss Jennie Oke,
of Los Angelos, Col., formerly of Exeter ;
while on Wednesday, Mr James Howard,
another weil-known resident, and Miss
Mary Ellen, daughter of Mr Wm 13rima•
combe, of Exeter, were made husband and
wife by the strong bonds of Hymen. " We
wish both couples every success and un-
bounded prosperity.
1st July,
Dominion Day was celebrated in Exeter
in a quiet manner the majority of the
townsfolk assisting neighboring villages in
their celebrations. The weather was fine
until three o'clock, when the enjoyable
proceedings of the several ..picnics and
other festivais were interrupted by the
visitation of a heavy shower accompanied
by thunder and lightning. The Kirkton
strawberry festival was a success, but the
participants were victims of a heavy rain.
At Elimville and Centralia they were more
fortunate, the crowds being large and the
shower lighter. On the whole the day
was most please,ntly spent:

Gone to Dakota.
Mr. Abel, Walper left on Saturday
evg. on .a visitto- friends in Dakota.
His relatives number in; the vicinity of
200 persons and are settled in a colony
in the vicinity of Hamilton, St Thomas,
Langdon, Minot, Willow City,
Bottineau, &c. During the past few
years with Mr. Waiper's influence to-
gether with that of the settlers who had
Crone before, large numbers of our best
farmers have emigrated to Dakota.
And the St Paul; Minneapolisand Mani-
toba railway company are so pleased
with the German settlers and their pro-
gress and enterprise that they desire to
throw open another tract of country on
the border of Montana and Dakota for
settlement, with a similar class of people,
the old settlement having become filled,
The railway company are alive to their
interests, when they forward Mr.
Walper a pass and a pressing invitation
to visit the country to select a suitable
tract on which to settle another colony.
This is . decidedly wrong, not in Mr.
Walper's case ; but on the part of bhe
Canadian Government and our national
railway, the Canadian Pacific. We are
certain that Mr. Walper could be in-
duced to work in the interests of our
own North West, which is decidedly
superiot in all respects to, Dakota, ;but
when the Yankees and Yankee. roads
offer such encouragement and induce-
ments to him and his 'Getman friends
and the Canadian railways remain so
indifferent we cannot expect anything
but the exodus of our best and most
prosperous people. Mr. Walper, if the
section of country which he ,.intends to
inspect, 'be. suitable,.he..will possibly
comnience , his'campaign of forming
another colony of his German' friends to
settle on, the border of Montana. Lt
the&meantine it would be well for the
Ca:iadian-railways to make a move : in
this matter and try capture all ' our
emigrants:for the Canadian North West.
We hope Mr. Walper may enjoy his
trip, and we wish him a safe return, for
were we to lose him, this vicinity would
sustain a serious loss.

Crossley and taunter.
The revival services <coodueted in this
town by Rev: Messrs: Crossley: andEunter
were brought to a close on Tuesday evg..
of lastweek, after",having continued for,
five weeks and a half. The weather ford
the first three weeks proved very-unfavore
able and no doubt adversely affected the.
meetings- Yet during that time . they
were fairly attended and• the worsd got
under way. For the rest of the time large
crowdswere in attendance from night to
night. The preaching of Mr. Ceossley,wae.
very clear, forcible. and attractive, and his
singing in the highest degree calculated to
move the people for their good. The Bible.
readings of Mr.. Punter were pointed and
edifying, .his exhortations direct and
powerful and his tact,; in, conducting tile.
service perhaps hard •to excel. The two
Methodist churches and the Presbyterian
church of this town were united M the
services, which resulted in the religious.
quickening of the old church members and
in about 450 of the unconverted being led
to seek the Lord. Of these 230..had been
attendants upon the James Street church,
80 upon , the Main Street, 35 upon the
Presbyterian church_ and 13 upon the
Episcopalian church. The rest were from
congregations adjacent to Exeter. On the
morning of the last Sabbath of the meet•
inga a union communion service was held,
when upwards of 600 sat together at the
Lord's Table. The closing meeting of all
was one of wonderful power. The house
was packed as perhaps never before
Short addresses were given by the resident
ministers, then farewell addresses by the
evangelists, when the great congregation
was dismissed, those being invited to re-
main who wished. to seek the Lord.
Large numbers still.,remained and it was
late in the night ere all left the church.
A great work is left for the churches to do
in following up effectually the work so
grandly begun. The Evangelists : take
with them the best wishes and earnest
prayers of many • hundreds of ' this "place
for their success in the future:
