The Exeter grist mill is fast nearing completion. The interior has been taken out and an entirely new process substitut- ed. The capacity•of the mill is 150 hbls per day. In the year 1706 the average weight of fatted steer in the London and Liverpool markets was 301 pounds This, too, at the average age of five years. In 1755 this average was increased to 482 pounds. In 1830 this weight was 650 pounds, more than double that of 1706. The average weight of the fatted steer to -day is four times what it was in 1706, only 184 years ago. Recent advices from all districts of the province go to show that there is now no cause to fear a failure of the crop by reason of drought. Those districts that a couple of weeks ago had not received as much rain as seemed necessary, during the past w eek, have been exceedingly favored, and as has been intimated, there is every reason to believe that a large yield will be that of 1S90.•—Brandon (Man.)

On behalf of the teachers and pupils of the Exeter Public School I take this op- portunity of publicly expressing our sincere thanks to ',,he people of Exeter and vicinity for their hearty support in our first school entertainment, ancl especially to all who in any way assisted in the preparation and rendering of our programme. Gregory H. Tom, Prin. Pub. School. The crops in this section of Ontario never looked better. The wheat is color- ing and will soon ripen, and from appear- ances, a heavy yield is anticipated. With regards oats, barley and other cereals the same may be said. The hay crop is also heavy and has been saved in fine condition. On the whole the Ontario farmer has a bright prospect before him, and if the prices be fairly high this fall the better times of a few years ago will be retrieved.

There was quite a greeting for him in Exeter, and many a hearty shake of hands, with the wish that he may soon be restored to health; was extended to him as he sat iu his buggy, Not being able to walk it took considerable time to for him to proceed up Main street as every few paces he was hailed by the numerous: well wishes of his friends to extend to him their greeting after so long an absence.
