The Exeter baseball club visited Clinton on Saturday to play a match with the club of that town. The game was commenced at an early hour, but atthe close ofthe 3rd inning a down -pour of rain soon rid the park of spectators and players. The game was not resumed, and the Exeter club was declared victorious by a score of 3-0. The potato crop this year promises to be lieht The excess of water in their early growth and the now excessively dry time when the tubers are setting furnishes the cause. The early wet weather makes the roots set near the surface, so that they are more Iikely to be injured by the later drought. The Clinton New Era is a good enough local paper from appearances ; but it all its news is stolen, as is the lower part of the county -from the southern papers, notably the Times, then there is no credit due our totem. We do not object to papers using our items, but when publish. ed the day after the Trues is issued, with- out due credit being given, we look upon it as false enterprise. The New Era will please make a note of this. In the spring fruit promised to be a very heavy crop, but it is doubtful if there will he even a anter of what was expected. This is due to a blight that has struck the tree, known as fire blight. Where touch- ed by it the branches seem burned. It is said by horticulturists that this will work its way through the tree and ultimately destroy it, unless checked, and the only way to do this is to at once prune off the burned or dead branches. Merchants used to complain loudly, and we think justly, of the unjust and vex- atious way in which municipal taxes were levied upon their stocks of merchandise. Yet we donot hear of any of them moving to take advantage of the act passed in the last session of the Legislature. This Act empowers municipalities to abolish the tax upon merchandise and substitute for it a business tax, not exceeding ten per cent. of the rental value of the premises in which the business is done. The subject would be a good one for the consideration of boards of trade. Our readers would do well to look out for eigns of the maple tree pest that is now speeding westward. The first indica• tion of its presence to the ordinary observer is the appearance of white spots on the under side of the smaller branches and twigs. The spots increase, rapidly is size and number, until the whole tree is affect- ed: At a little distance they look like. splashes of lime, but on closer inspection they are found to be of a woolly, glutinous texture, something like a very ,thick and sticky spider web. Cutting away the tree's branches is said to be a remedy in , some cases. Board of Trade, Mooting held in the Town Rail at 8 p. m. an i4Feclnc sday Julyt'th. R. H. Archer in the nhair.
