A movement is on foot with a view to
improving the Main-st Methodist church.
Itis proposed to lower the main entrance
and also erect a high tower. A subscrip-
tion is in circulation among the members
of the church to raise a sufficient sum to
defray the expense. Already upwards of
$700 has been subscribed. We trust the
anticipated improvement shall be made
New York proposesto appoint a staff' of
official "smellers" whose duty it shall be
during warm weather, when complaint is
made of existence of foul odor, to officially
smell the said cause of 'odor and decide
whether it is healthful' or otherwise.'
Such a staff is badly needed in Exeter.
The Victoria Cricket club sustained its
first defeat this season, at Exeter, last
Thursday. The boys claim that if they
had had their usual team the Exeter club
would have been at the foot of thescore.
Clinton New Era. -If by havingtheir usual
team in the field, the Clinton' team would
have beaten Exeter, we must infer from
the wide difference in the score that the
ability of the Clinton team is centered in a
couple of players, as we are told only .two
of their regular men were absent. Haw -
ever we think the Clinton team is incapable
of defeating Exeter in a match of cricket.
On Thursday of last week, while young
Mr. Leary, of the 4th con., McGillivray,
was harvesting, one of the horses kicked
over the tongue and fell, Miss Leary
seeing the accident went to his assistance,
and unhitched part of the tugs. Sudden-
ly the horse rose and plunged forward,
the reels striking Miss Leary on the head,
knocked her down, the sharp point of the
guard inflicting a large wound enherleg.
Miss Leary got up and tried to escape, but
was hit four or five `-'tidies and knocked
down, while the knife was within an inch
of her person. Ultimately the horse
was quieted, and Miss Leary escaped.
Surgical aid was summoned and the wounds
dressed, Miss Leary is doing well. Her
escape was miraculous.
It is an easy natter to find fault with
the conduct municipal of affairs, and those
entrusted with their charge generally have
a thankless job, but it would not be un •
-
gracious here to express disapproval at the
neglect shown in allowing the condition of
sidewalk fronting Mr Jas.' Pickard's to re-
main so deplorable as it has been for some
time: While along the remainder of Main
street good walks are erected, it seems
strange that the stretch in question is
allowed to remain unnoticed. The boards
are uneven, loose and much worn and to
pedestrians the walking over, this stretch fs
rendered •very unpleasant., We would.
recommend that a new walk bs placed, en'
front of Mr. Jas. Pickard's ro'idence.

A convention of the merchants of the

question of bankrupt stocks and the
peddling system of trading. Messrs. T.

Parkinson, represented Exeter, both of
whom made telling speeches against the
various drawbacks and nnsiances to the
success of the more stable merchants.
The discussion has led to much good not

How The Girls Kiss. i '
The Grand Bend girl bows her stately head •
And she fixes her stylish lips
In a firm, hard way, and lets them go,
In opasmodie little snips.
The Zurich girl removeth her specs,
And freezeth her mouth with a smile ;
Then sticks out her lips like an open book
And cheweth her wax meanwhile.
The Hensall girl says never a word,
And you'd think she was rather tame
With her practical views of the matter in
hand,
But she gete there just the same.
The Luev.n girl the pride of the South,
Absorbs in all with a yearning yearn,
As hie as a ton of hay.
The Crediton girl gets a grip on herself,
Att she carefully takes off her hat,
And she grabs up her prize in a frightened
way,
Like a terrier shaking a rat.
The Kippen girl, so gentle and. sweet,
Lets her lips meet the coming kiss,
With rapturous warmth, and the youthful
soul
Floats away on a sea of bliss.
The Centralia girl, a creature divine,
Whether wife, or widow, or miss,
Looks into your eyes with starlit orbs
And puts her soul in her kiss
The Woodham girl is It church going miss
Yet she'd give you one on the sly,
And softly and gently press her lips,
That are sweet as apple pie. .
The Elimville girl will sometimes refuse,
to have you insist and plead,
But when she finally does consent,
Her aiss is a kiss indeed.
The Dashwood girl shuts her dreamy eyes
When asked to osculate,
And lets the vandals steal the kiss,
Which she really likes first rate.
The Staffa girl neither sighs nor pines
Nor acts in a manner rude,
But goes about kissing in a businesslike
way,
That catches the average dude.
The Devon girl gets the man's moustache
Vi7itn a grip an tight as glue,
Then opening a little. her ruby lips
Pulls the kiss on like a shoe.
The Rodgerville girl who kisses her beau,
Knows exactly what she's a.bout,
And the nectar sipped from her ruby lips
Is sweetest long drawn out.
The Exeter girl she beats them all
But how I'll not explain,
Because if I did the rush would be great
And I want to get there again.
