Cixsc 3ac,tiday.
Thursday lastwas Exeter's civic holi-
day. Some 300 persons joined the
Masonic brethren in their excursion to
the Oakland Park, on the St. Clair
river, while others picnieed at the Bend,
and many remained In town to witness
the cricket match The weather was
rluite favorable, and we believe a pleas-
ant day was spent by everybody, The
excursion train consisted of ten
cars, all well-filled with passengers from
Tong the line. The trip was a pleasant
one, and everything passed off' unmar-
red, the only unfortunates being sever-
al of the E,eterites who missed the
train, and lost a night's repose in order
that they might reach Exeterthe follow
init morning. They claim the train left
before the proper time, otherwise they
would have made proper connections,
The proceeds from the excursion slight-
ly exceeded the outlay.
'Garden Party.
-
The Carden Party on Tuesday evg.
v a Mr. Geo. Samwell's lawn, under the
auspices of the ladies of the Caves Pres
byterian church, was a decided success,
the attendance' being very large. The
wain entrance gate was spanned by a
tasty arch, bearing on the outside in il-
luminated letters the word "Welcome,".
and on the reverse side, facing the lawn
"Good' Cheer," and as these words
shone. out on the gathering darkness,
theyseehed to
express the prevailing
g
sentimenture-eek
of the crotvdofp1eas s
ors within, The beautiful grounds,
were encircled by a girdle of Japanese
lanterns, and the verandah surrounding
the house was a blaze of splendor, shed-
ding its rich light to the full extent of
the grounds. Allpresent, apparently,
enjoyed themselves, and M. and Mrs,
&unwell well know how to cater to the
enjoyment of such gatherings. The
dies of the guild fully exerted them-
selves to the pleasure and comfort of
present, p resent, as did also Mr. B,
,

tables groaning the the good things of

Stays the Clinton New Era :--Far
last year the Board received foam, the
Government and County nearly $5,200,
whilst the fees amounted to over $700.
During that same period there were 90
registered non-resident pupils who
boarded in town, and who purchased,
no doubt, very largely their supplies of
clothing and other necessaries, from
our merchants, These students were
gathered from all parts of the County
and even from outside these limits, and.
their presence here, even as an adver.
tisement, must bo worth a great Ileal.
Some towns in the West --such as St.
Marys, Woodstock, Ridgetown, Wind.
sor and Chatham, have made themselves
educational centres and by so doing
have constantly in their midst a large
number of outsiders, who must very
materially help these different places.
The people of these towns will not hesi-
tate to say that even commercially these
local colleges pay.

To Be Boycotted.
A report has reached us that the
TIMES is to be boycotted by certain per-
sons, because it posessed sufficient
courage to disapprove of the action of
the trustees, in their selection of a
teacher to succeed Mr. Thos. Gregory,
as principal of the Exeter Public Schools.
Of course we are, at all time, desirous
of receiving favors in the shape of sub-
scriptions to the TIMES, and accept such
gratefully, and also with a feeling that
the subscribers receive full compliment
for their money ; but when, a matter af-
fecting the publie genially on which
bears even a shadow of misjudgment,
or is conceded detrimental to public
interests, comes to our notice, we must
as public journalists, approve or dis-
approve, as the dictation of our consci-
ence, in a line of public welfare, shall
direct. And the trustees need not con-
sider themselves an exception, or con-
clude that they are infallible. We did
object to their decision in this natter
and still hold that their selection was
inconsiderately made. There were a
great many applications laid upon the
table, and soon the most favorable
dwindled to two—Mr. Gregory H. Toni.
and G. W. Holman; the former at a
yearly salary of $600, the latter at $550
per annum. Mr: Tom was the almost
unanimous choice, and for what reason
we are at a loss to know. Now we
doubt very much that, if , the trustees,
were transacting their private business,
their conduct would have been similar.
Here are two men, qualifications equal,
one asking $600,. with a meagre general
experience so requisite in a principal,
the other $550 with lengthened experi-
ence and a married man, a desired and
ahnost necessary adjunct in the instance
of our schools. We hold both gentlemen
in the highest esteem, but when reason
and facts meet us, we have no hesitation
in stating, and more especially when the
salary asked is $50 lower, that Mr.
Holman is the pian whom the trustees
should have engaged, If the :TIsiES is
to be boycotted, we cannot help it ;' we
gave expression to our convictions, from
a public standE,otnt, and still maintain
that we are correct.

lir;,Here is something that everybody
doesn't know. People who allow the
Canada thistle to grow on their premises
unmolested are liable to a fine. It is the
duty of every property owner to see that
the thistle is exterminated on his own
premises as far as it is in his power to do
so. The town is equally liable concern-
ing the growth of thistles on the streets.
ldr, G. H. Tom, who has been recently
appointed headmaster of Exeter public
school for the coming year, has also been
appointed to take the principal's work in
Godericli model school for the fall term,

those who have recently passed the third
class non-professional examination and are
now studying for their professional certifi,
cates as public school teachers.
A well-known grain buyer says :—"You
should caution the farmers against mixing
their old barley with the new. Many
farmers in the west have old barley on
hand and they may be thoughtless enough
to mix it with the new product ; but if
they do they will make a serious mistake.
The mixture will not malt and will not
therefore find a market. American grain
buyers detect the mixture at once and
reject it and the local buyers will be com-
pelled to do the same."
The bailiff of Forest and bailiff Gill had
quite a time in Exeter last week. The
Forest bailiff had his eye on one McDonald
of Stephen, and while winking, bailiff
Gill, who is always ahead, went back and
took into execution all his chattels. The
Forest bailiff, visiting McDonald's too late,
came to Exeter, and by producing all
manner of papers and
he would scare
our bailiff to handing over the articles.
Gill was too sharp ; be retained the
.chattels, sold them and passed the money
into the court. When the Forest or any
other bailiff undertakes to steal a march
on bailiff Gill they should first consider
the cost.
