G. who has not been here fur about ten years, thinks Exeter much improved.— matrimonial, The residence of Mr. Wm. Howard, Mnin-st., was yesterday evening the scene of one of those happy events, which generally, at least, gladden the hearts of two, The occasion was the marriage, by the Rev. Jasper Wilson, of Miss Maude Palmer, sister-in-law of Mr. Howard, to Mr. Wm. North, of Attic,i,, Mich. We might just remark that while Mr. North was fortunate in winning one of Exeter's most respected •daughters, Miss Palmer has secured a husband, whom, we are certain will prove himself affble and kine!. We take pleasure in wishing the couple every prosperity. They left for their adopted home in llfichigan yesterday •evennlg carrying with diem the good wishes of the people of Exeter., Miss Palmer being the recepient of many valuable presents. Of interest to Teachers. The Educational Monthly, of Toronto, takes issue with the London Board of Education, as follows 1--"A certain ichool Board in Ontario is said to have lately passed a resolution forbidding teachers in its employ to purane.studies with a view to some other profession. We are well aware that great injustice to parents and children and great in- jury to the teaching profession results frain the fact that teaching is so often in•acle a stopping -stone to other pursuits. It tray be even questioned whether the teacher whose whole time and thought, out of school hours, are given to some- thing else, Gail be regarded as strictly. fieriest, Nevertheless the evil can never bo remedied by any such rough and ready methods, Who is going to .spy upon the teacher to see how ' he spends his morning and evening !tours ? What right have the trustees or any other person to call him to lteeount so lengas he is guilty, of no misconduct 1 No teacher with spirit enough tri :fit him° for such an office would submit for as moment to .an usurpation of power so offensive, arbitrary end abitterd "' 1Rvivtties.

A meeting of the cricket club will be held in the Baud Room to -night (Thur - day) at 7:30 o'clock, to wind up affairs for the season. A full attendance expected. Within the past week several carloads of apples have been brought to Exeter from distant parts, to supply local demands, the crop in this section this year having been poor. During the sickness of Miss Vesper, teacher in the public schools, Mr. Homer Kinsman is substituting. We trust that Miss Vesper may speedily regain her health. The price of cheese appears to be on the upward trend. A large number of factories are still holding their September and October ma though offered Ile cents per pound. The case ephen v. ialeGillivre.y did not come up for a hearing at. Sarnia last week owing' to a crowd of business, but will probably be heard at the Woodstock Court early next month. During the past few weeks, owing to the steady increase in business, Messrs. Verity & Sou} have added five more men to their staff. They now employ in their foundry some thirty five mechanics, and ea rapidly as the different departments are properly fitted up, additional help is employed. Last sees' Messrs. Verity & Son added to their foundry a system of fire protection. It consists of a steam pump, a tank and a hose. The pump is attached to the engine, and with tank well tilted, a stream of water can be thrown over the smoke stack in less than five minutes. :air. Rich'd Waddlen, of the 4th con. , Usborne, died very suddenly on the 20th inst., after a very brief illness. He was quite well a few days previously. Tr,flam- mation is supposed to have been the cause. He was aged 65 years. There survive him a wife and small family. L Victoria, B. C. paper of Sept. 30th, says : " In Christ Church Cathedral last evening. Rev. Arthur Beanlaude officiated at a quiet and very pretty wedding, Mr. Thomas Milne taking to himself a wife in the charming person of Miss Marion Eliza. beth Gibson, better known as Bessie Gab, son, the daughter of Mr. William Gibson, late of Goderieh. Ont." The Queen v, Rebecca Hooper.—Among the cases at the Huron fall assizes was the celebrated case of the cheesefa.tory burn- ing at urningot Bluevale, particulars of which were published in Tree Treres at the time. After hearing the evidence his Lord. ship stated therewas bo case to go to the jury, and discharged the prisoner. The Huron Expositor says, that at the recent Court of Revision of the Provincial Voters'' list, for Exeter, 119 Conservatives were added to the list under the new Mowat franchise. While such an in- crease wonld be gratifying to the Conser• waives, we might inform our cetera, the number added wits only nineteen. The sale of Mr. C. Jenkin's stock and implements near St. Mary's was a great snocess. The crowdwas large and the prices realised were away up. Joe got something like ,200 more than the owner expected. Three yearling heifers brought $80, sheep ,$20 a pair, cows from . 830 to $10; eta. This would indicate that prices are not so tedicnlotualy low in Canada. Some tune ego we heard it said that a pork -packing establishment was about to be opened in Exeter, by several of our enterprising citizens. The 'matter seems to have quieted ; but possilly arrange- ments are being quietly made. There'is no better opening for such an industry than in this town. It is a business there is money in, if judiciously managed, and we; are surprised that developments haye not alrearly,:been trade On Weclnesday night test two men en- tered the residence of Mr. Robert Robin- son, of Lucan. They were overheard by lady friend sleeping in the house, and:when. she atbempted to give the alarm she was immediately caggerl into silence by the robbers. They succeeded in securing $3.50, all the money they could find, lid'.

The total number of summary convictions and oases subject to trial by jury, in the county, was 335; nub of the 39 counties in Ontario there are 20 bleat have a lower number than Huron. Vestry meeting, A vestry meeting of the Trivitt Memorial Church was held on Monday afternoon, to consider the erection of two mass tablets on the western wall of the church, by the donor, Mr. Trivitb. The meeting was very harmonious, two resolutions 'being passed, thefirstthank- ing Mr. Trivitt for the gifts and the other expressing sympathy with him in the trouble and expense he has boon put to by a contractor named Hobbs, who entered a lawsuit at the London Assizes which was dismissed with costs, but Hobbs having no goods, Mr. Trivitt's expenses in the suit are heavy The following resolution moved by R. H. Collins and seconded by B. 8. O'Neil was also carried unanimously :=Resolved that we heartily sympathize with Mr. Trivitb in the trials he is enduring for the church's sake and trust that he may be spared to surmount them all and to finish the work by Divine Providence allotted his to fulfil. Our Horses iii the V. S. Mr. John Essery, of Gilson & Essery, etho has been attending the various fall fairs of Mich., Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, has just returned home. The firm took a number of horses west and sold them all at good prices. A t the fairs above mentioned they went success- ful in carrying off 36 prizes, which is considered an exceptional good record. To give an idea of the superiority of Canadian stock we might mention a couple of the *animals which were es- pecially successful. A. two year old draught was awarded 1st prize ata State and four county fairs in a ring of many animals, and a yearling lst prize at two state and four county fairs. In another instance a mare purchased of Mr. Hawkins, of the London road north, and of Canadian breed, which was sold to Mr. P. Waldron. of Ohio, took second place in the sweepstakes ring - for best draught of any age or breed, at the tri - State fair at Toleda, in a ring of seven- teen, competing with nares from Eng., Scotland, France and Belgium. Her foal also got second. .At the St. Louis fair, the greatest fair of the west, this firm sold five horses the greatestnumber sold by any one firm. This speaks well for Canadian stock and is but another open testimony of •the progressiveness of the Canadian farmer. We compli- ment Messrs. Gilson & Essery upon their success. They were under a great risk, and we are pleased to note their success. The post office will be closer! on Thanks- giving Day from 10 a,m. ' to 4 p.m. Air. Levett has purchased lir. Jas.

The presents they give away free to lucky ticket holders are valuable, The shooting match of the season will take place at Bossenb rry's Centennial Hotel, 73ensall, on Thursday,Thanksgiving Day. Pigeons, glass balls and turkeys, geese and ducks form the program. Mr. John Wanlass,'of Vnroa,aged "about 76ears, took sick on Saturday y c v and died. on Suoday. He was one of the old, old residents, and a Reformer in politics. He will be remembered as the Scott Act Mag- istrate. Mr, Robt. Holmes of the Clinton Era occupied the Main street Methodist Church pulpit on Sunday last, and preached two very exhaustive sermons. Mr. Holmes' is somewhat long-winded, but as `the dis- course were interesting and impreasive,the congregation would be satisfied. Already rumors" are afloat concerning probable candidates for the approaching municipal election contest. Several new mea are spoken of amongst whom, Messrs. Parlcnison,Oke, Christie, as well as several younger men. Report has it that Mr. Geo.

We are sorry to announce the death of Isabella McEwen, daughter of Mr. Alex McEwen of Hay township, at the age of 16 years, 11 months. She died on Tues- day after a brief illness, the ,result of heavy College work, which impaired her phyeicaal condition. A man named Donald McDonald, came to Exeter on Tuesday with a deed of a lot, which he got in a deal for other property in Chicago. The deed calls for lot 3S and the property he claims is lot 44.

Mr. James Ballantyne of Lakeside, in the township of Downie, near Stratford; met his death very suddenly Sonclay night. while seeing that his stock Were attended to for the night, he fell from a window of the straw house to the ground, a distance of 28 feet, receiving such injuries as to cause instant death.

Friday, Oct. 25th, was the date set by the followers of Wiliam Miller for the, end of time and the destruction of the world by fire. At various times in the world's his• tory such predictions have been made and fanatics have watched and waited in vain. The sect of Adventists was founded at Low; Hampton, Washington County, New York, by William Miller, who was.boru in Massachusetts in 1782 ; was - in early life an infidel, but afterwards joined the Bap. tist Church, and as a result of continaal brooding over the Scriptures, formulated the belief that at midnight.
