The death of Satnuel Forci (more com- monly known as Uncle Sone) was announc- ed to the citizens of Exeter on Friday last. His death was not unexpected, he having been sick for some time previously. The deceased was born in Devonshire,Eneland, and immigrated to Canada back in the thirties, and has lived periodically in the township of Stephen and village of Exeter for a great many years. The familiar figure of Uncle Sam will beseenno more. Some years ago he followed the avocation of market gardener, but becoming too in- firm fo: work he was put on the pension list of Stephen and Exeter and drew from the funds of these municipalities sufficient sums for his mere susteutation. "Uncle Sam" had attained the age of 90 years and 7. month, and was, sincecoming to this section many long years ago, highly es- teemed. The funeral took place on Satur- day last and was largely attended. Obituary. Geo. C. Bfatchforcl wan horn in the township of Usborne, Nov. '14th 1856 He was the second son of Richard Klatch. ford now of the village of Exeter and well, known in this community He acquired certificate for teaching at the early age of seventeen, and began the work of teaching school in his 19th year, and followed that profession from that time as long as bis health would permit. About seven years ago he met with an accident it ivhich he nearly lost his life tand having gbeen indite, eel to rheumatism before the result was that it became more deeply seated, occa- sionally causing him to desist from work. Abort four years ago he went to Colorado hoping to have better health, which hope he realized for about two years during which time he followed his profession, It was there that he toek,tnto himself a wife fn the person of her who now as his Widow is left to mourn, .After another year his health again began to fail and he with his wife concluded to visit his old home, hut it was a visit frem which he was destined not to retina, In his seven - 'Wealth year he wee as cony t er e d o y t God under the ministry of Rev.

Some good ideas were advanced but nothing definite in the line of enterprises was accomplish- ed. Sunday was set apart by the General Assembly to he observed in all the Presby- terian churches of the Dominion as child- ren's day. Services were accordingly held in Caven church befitting the occasion. Special sermons were preached by Rev.

We often notice horses tied to the shade trees atong Main and other streets. The persons who are guilty of this practice are violating the bylaws of the town, which infraction is punishable in a heavy fine. The shade trees die easily enough without being killed by thoughtless individuals using them as tie posts. Owing no doubt to the sleighing of last winter not remaining until July some people in town were unable to procure a necessary supply of wood. At least the residents of Huron-st think so, from the manner in which' their several wood piles are decreasing of late.

Our stock consists of Robes, Embroideries, Fancy pat erns, Broad- cloths, Henriettas, Paramettas, Foules quilts, V. V. in all the fashionable shades—Richard Pickard.

Carmel R. 0. church was Ail en in Mr, Polehay's grove, east of`Liinerick, an Thursday last: Never before was there such is largo at- tendanoe, but owing to the continuous down pour of rain during the afternoon, nothing like the ueual : success attended. the efforts of the assiduous workers. Very little was done before dinner and after dinner the rain prevented the programme being carried; out. The cane contest did not come off, The genial parish priest, Rev. Father Kelly, was somewhat dis- appointed, but was heard to say the rain would do more good to the land ,han many picnics. The gathering dispersed early iu the afternoon, the'grass being too clamp for comfort. Among the more notaole per. sonages present, might have been 'seen, T. Coughlin, ; Esq. M.

At the instigation of the Board of Health, prompted by a largely signed petition of the ratepayers asking that the open drain on Ann st be covered, the Pro- vineial Health Inspector was summoned to Exeter to pass his opinion as to how the difficulty could be best overcome with the least possible outlay. : Accordingly a meeting of the Local Board of Health and the complainants, was.held in the town hall to hear the discussion and also the recommendations of the Provincial In- spector,' whe had made an inspection of the drain in question. Mr. John Taylor, the chairman of the local B. 0: H., occu- pied the chair. ' After explaining the object of the meeting he called for expres- sioiis'of opinion, Messrs. Hawkshaw, Carling, Smallacombe and the reeve each made afew remarks, some iu favor of covering the drain, others opposed to it, seemingly on, good grounds. The Provin- cial Inspector, Dr. Bryce, said that Exe- ter had no systematic"drainage,all being of an irregular and private character. This was wrong. We should have had a proper system, Regarding the public drain which is the bone of contention he said it would not do to cover it. Many people use the drain into which to drain' their cellars; and the drain tobe covered with no proper flushing system, the dirty water and filth which flow into it would become rotten and seriously impure, thus trans- mitting the germsof disease to the cellars emptying into said drain.. 'To meet the difficulty hesuggested that an underground tile drain of six inch tile be placed along the bottom of the open drain, and that private persons who wished an outlet for their cellar water and slop water should also erect tile drains from their premises, in each case care being taken to have the respective branch drains properly trapped by the means of shouldered tile. This would prevent the stench of the waters collected in the main rain d fromassfn . back into the 'cellars, He also. i ecom mended that these drains he flushed every few days in order that the trap tile might be kept filled with water. Of course en the town would have to pay for the main drain, the persons who wished to use it, as an outlet wonlcl have to contribute an ad- ditional sum for the privilege. :He also said that these persons who did not see fit to pay extra for the privilege could be cut off, and afterward fined for creating a public nuisance on their premises by al• lowth stagnant water add filth to col + g g Collect. The persons on 14 lain-st who drain into the drain which empties into the openi ditch Would also have to reconstruct' their tool drains with a proper,tile trap. This seems to bo a 'very fair and easy way et over coming this long agitated' and obnoxiottt`, question; of covering this dith ; and the Board of health will no dottht take im- mediate action.

Trangrove - dis- covered that he had got the worst of the trade, and instead of going to Cornish and asking him to exchange back, he went during the night, left the horse in Brownlee's field and went to Cornish's and took the horse he had previously traded to him. Cornish had a warrant issued and on Tuesday Chief Gill, of Exeter, arrested Trangrove on, the farm of Mr. Jas Bryans, at Grauton, with whom he was working. Trangrove was brought to Exeter, tauten before 'lagis- trate Snell, who sent him to Goderich for trial on a charge of horse stealing. Base Ball. The ball tournament at Belgrave. on Monday last was largely attended. The clubs taking part were :-Brussels; Bel- grave and Exeter. The first match was between Exeter and t 1 Bel ave gt which resulted in 14-6 in favor of Exeter at the seventh inning, with Exeter one inning to spare. ' The next match was between Exeter and Brussels, which at the close of the fifth inning stood 3-2 iu favor of Exeter. The tournament was one of the most interesting ever held in the county. Exeter and Brussels teams played a good game as will be seen by the result. Exeter won the 1st prize of 525 end: also recovet- ed from Brussels the cliamptonship of Huron, which was wrested from the Exeter club at Seaforth:some weeks :ago. Want of space forbids ns giving the score. Tho Baron Presbytery. The Huron Presbytery met on Tuesday 10th inst. in Egmondville.
