On Sunday afternoon last, while Mi and Mrr. Georgo Brooks were at church, five young scamps entered their flower - garden and plucked and destroyed all of the beautiful flowers. Not being satisfied with the damage they had done outside, they got into the house by asoma means and even picked the flowers off the indoor plants besides breaking the pots. Mrs. rooks finding out the names of some of them, went to them allthat were there. On told w and w of the young rascals had the imperti- nence to tell her to shut her mouth, or he would slap it.

Dignan, blacksmith, of this place, met with an accident a few days ago. He was welding a piece of iron when the tongs turned in his band and the iron collided with bis face, giving him a severe burn over the left eye. In the election of 1586 West Huron gave 337 majority for the Mowat candidate; East Huron, 443; South Huron, 507—a total of 1,287. In the last election West Huron gave 112; East Huron, 170; South Huron, 158—a malonity of 430, reducing the former majority by 827, or by two- thirds. Mr. James Dignan, who has been con- fined to his house through piuerisy, owned a dog which was greatly attached to him. He was always ready in the morning to accompany his, owner to his work and to return ; but from the time Mr. Dignan took sick and was confined to his room, the dog refused to enter the house or take any food, from the effects of which he died the other day. The Synod of Huron opened in St. Paul's Cathedral, London, on Tuesday morning at ten o'clock. A considerable amount of business is to be transacted. The Bishop of Kentucky was expected to have preach- ed the opening sermon, but owing to the illness of his son could not be present. Dean Innis occupied the pulpit. A meet- ing of the executive committee was held in the Chapter House on Monday morning. A terrible accident which resulted iu the death of Mr. Wm. Hooper, occurred on Tuesday night at the Wellington street crossing of the Grand Trunk at London. Mr. Hooper was engaged at his regular employment, switching, and is supposed to have tripped in some manner and was thrown under the wheels of a freight train which was being shunted. The deceased was formerly of Exeter, and had been em- ployed in the London yard about six mouths. Mr. Fred W. .Johnston,Johne C. of Goder- ,(Z icb, has been appointed junior county judge of the district of Algoma. This ap- pointment has been rendered necessary by the increasing requirements of the district, and it will be conceded by those cognizant, of Mr. Johnston's ability and legal at- tainments that a better selection could not have been made. It is understood that Judge Johnston will make his home at Sault Ste Marie, confining his labors to eastern Algoma, while the senior judge, who resides at Port Arthur. will devote,. himself to the western part of the district The Crops. We had a drive in the county of Perth, the other day, and the crops throughout the route we travelled looked splendid, notwithstanding, the report from Exeter which appeared in the London Free Press to the contrary. We never saw this season of the year a better show of fall wheat, although in the ` fore part of the spring it appeared to be a failure. Several farmers with whom we conversed said that the crops, taken in whole, if nothing happened, would far exeeei those of last year. The fruit crops in sohie localities have suffered front the peceseseesee late. frosts, but there will be a good yield, especially apples. A gentleman, whose business causes Bing to travel a great deal through this section, informs us that out towards the lake crops are looking splendid and thinks they never looked better, and htn his travels through t'lne townships of Hay and Tueker inith, the finds the same appearance in the crops, School P.ie-nig. The pupils of the Prinoipafs room in Exeter Public Sehool held their annual pie-nze on the afternoon of Thursday, June 12th, in the grove, Exeter North, the unfavorable weather of Saturday, June 7th, having made it necessary to postpone it. About 2 o'clock in the afternoon about forty of the pupils as- sembled in, the grove where arrange- ments had been previously made for games of different kinds, swinging, boating, etc. A goodly number of baskets were brought to the ground by the lila who 10 ria i provided anb r a au g ,d ante for the good time later in the day, The weather was all that could be de- sired and everyone entered heartily into the amusements and seemed thor•oughty earnest upon having a good time. The usual picnic etiquette, where about ninety -live per cent. of the company gats around waiting for their turn, while the remainder enjoy themselves monopolising all the amusements, was not observed. The boat was kept going continually on the pond until after eight o'elock.in the evening, and no one who felt so disposed went home without a all on the placid water. About G o'clock all sat: down on the green turf to fully satisfy their bodily appetite and quench n their thirst by reneated draughts of lemonade, The amusements were kept tnp until it began to grow dusk when the fragments were gathered up, and teacher and ,pupils made for their homes feeling fully satisfied and longing for a few additional ours of elanh ber neceseaty for a thorough recuperation, ,ersonatl,+.

The execution of Henry Smith for the murder of his wife, Lucy, on the night of February 18, tcok place in London on Satur• day morning last in tbe presence of about a hundred spectators. At Smith's own request, Be. W. T. Hill, rector of the Church of St. Jobs the Evangelist, Pat with him all night and alternately prayed and sang hymns, in which Smith joined. His last selection was from Sankey's hymnal, No. 90, beginning: Vollmer, wheresoe'er thou art. At the cross there's room. Shortly after 6 yesterday morning Rev. Mr. Neil, at present occupying the pulpit of the Congregational Church, called neon the pripouer and remained with him until the execution. Smith was very weak. and nearly fainted when the eherifl's officers went to his cell, and he had to be supported while his arms were being pinioned. The procession entered the gaol yard at nine minutes past eight,.Smith was supported on either side by turnkeys Ryan and Snyder, Rev. Mr. H°11 reading psalm mil. The gallows was a contrivauoe of the same sort as that on shish Kane was hanged at To- ronto, and it is stated that the executioner was the same man that officiated on that occasion. At the gallows Smith showed marked signs of weakness, and would have fallen bnt for the assistance of the officers. After adjusting the noose, the hangman drew the black cap over the face, and as lie did so the prisoner groaned, his last words being "God have mercy." Rev. Mr. Hill then read the prisoner's written confession, in. hieh he uses these words :—"I was the cause of Lucy ,Jackson's death. I struck her just once with my fist, and I dont know whether it was the fall on the stove or the blow that caused her death." The oonfes sion concludes with expressions of gratitude to the officials and clergymen for their kind. nese, and the statement that be trusted in the Saviour for forgiveness. `'There .wae'a alight delay while the hangman went up a ladder to examine the tackle, When he came down Rev. Mr. Hill began tbe Lord's Prayer, and at tbe words "forgive us our trespasses," the heavy iron weight (upwards of 300 pounds) dropped and the doomed' man's body shot up into the air. The vic- tim's neck was broken, though the goal surgeon states that the heart beat for ten minutes and 45 seconds after the fatal jerk. The drop fell at 8.13. and 27 •minutes later the body was taken down. At the, critical moment several of the 'spectators turned away sick, and one of the number fainted: The usual inquest was held, and in the afternoon the body was'burit3d in the goal yard, beside` those of three ;former,ietims-- (lyrne Pinkard, Phcebe Campbell and Ben- jamin Sintreons.
