The Revs. Messrs. Bridgman, of Hansall, and Taylor, of Mitchell, assisted the Rector in conduct- ing the regular evening service, at the close of which His Lordship, the Bishop, briefly, yet impressively and with great eloquence, addressed the candidates rela- tive to the important step they were about to take. After the confirmation service was concluded, His Lordship preached a most eloquent sermon, the subject being "God's Tewels." A. large congregation attended these services. .&n Amusing Scene.

Emery, the manager, is veru obliging and will he pa:teed to give au explanation of the details and point out the advantages posaesscd by tide mill. The following were the ruling prices for produce, fruit, ete,, in Exeter last week :— butter, 11e. to 12e. per lb. ; eggs, 13e. per dor • cherries, 6Oe. to foo. per pail ; raspberries. 5e, to Oe. per lb."; new pota. toes, $ l.00 to $1.2.1 per bushel ; spring ehickens, 10e. to 50e. per pair ; ducks, 00e. to 05e. Other small vegetables sold equally High. Wheat harvesting is now pretty general in this section. The grain is standing nicely, while the heads are well filled with large plu.np grain. Haying operations have been completed, and the crop has turned out to be an unusually largo ono. Barley and oats are advancing in the same gratifying manner, and on the whole the Ontario farmers will have a fruitful har- vest Richard Towl, a young man of 2S years of age, son of Mr. John yowl, of Usbornc, died very suddenly ou Monday last. Ho bad eaten a very hearty supper, and re. pairing to an adjoining room, died in a few minutes, much to the surprise of his friends. Heart disease, coupled with a lingerinc attack of la grippe, is supposed to have been the cause. Ho was a promising young man. If an example were made of some of the boys or young men who make a practice of breaking street lamps and windows in vacant houses, and mutilate fences, shade trees, etc., with his jack-knife, it would perhaps have a salutary influence. The town has suffered considerably in the past through these depredations and still the work goes on. Considerable damage to shade trees is also occasioned by people making hitching posts of them. Parties guilty of these acts are liable to a severe penalty. The other day a tree peddler called at the residence of a gentleman in town, and when the bell was answered, asked for the head of the house. He was not at home said the neat -handed Phyllis, will you have any message ? Oh, I will call again, said the tree man, I want to see him about some nursery stock. In that case, the maid replied, you need'nt trouble yourself about coming back, for their are no babies about the house. The pedlar smiled and has not returned as yet. Exeter, and when passing along Main street, the bovines became stampeded, and in passing down the street for home, one in particular, made things lively for those who attempted to stop it. Finally stopped, the animal was again driven forward, but upon reaching the point at which it wan previously seared, the in- furiated beast again turned. It came down street this time with a determina- tion, and all who offered to interrupt it, did so at great risk, and repaired to the sides in their walk again with their hearts g mouths. It was contented to pass along harmlessly, but did object to the crowds endeavoring to stop it, and to impress this upon their minds wide wild races at them. Mr. Alf. Walter had a narrow escape, With broom in hand he took a firm. stand, but as the beast was stili resolute, Mr. W. was compelled to re- treat with Mr. bovine following closely. The sidewalk was reached just in time, and tolling over it, to a vacancy near the sone, Mr. Walter thus saved his life. The animal was finally captured by Ed. Treble stunning it with a heavy club. r A.

Gone ruder 1"eeultar Circurnstaueesl It will be remembered that one St ringer was last -reek arraigned. before Squire Snell, on a charge of assault, preferred by one John Mattiee, Stringer was bound over to keep the peace ; but fail. ing to obtain good and sufficient sureties was Seat to Goderich jail for a period. According to a e -witnesses of the mill, Stringer was the least to blame, but Mattice being too sharp for him, had ]rim arrested, instead of Iia having Mattie on the defence. From the jail, so it said, Stringer wrote a friend that. as soon as released, he would have Mattiee sent to penitentiary for his uncalled-for attack union him; and Mattice, no doubt feeling convinced that he did wrongly. and not taking time to ascertain if Stringer could carry out his threat, left the country unceremonioualy. Soon the news of Alattiea's departure spread, and iu a short time his goods and chattels were under seizure to satisfy a few creditors, who, whether in fear of his 'skipping" on account of debt, or merely taking advantage of his temporary ale nonce, wished to square accounts at the present a possible meat eat earliest Ianaa a ln0 , is at 1 morn conjecture. At all events Mattice has left town, and whether through actual fright, or a paltered excuse to evade debt, is heat known to himself. His goods are gone and it isnot likely he will return. IlIasonio Service, The membera of Lebanon Forest Lodge, A, F. and A. AL, Exeter, as- sembled in their lodge room on Sunday last at 2,30 o'clock, pan., for the pur- pose of proceeding to divine service in the Trivitt Memorial Church. 'Upwards of eighty members of the craft proceeded to church, A, special .service was con- ducted by the Rev, R, Her, P. G. C,, rector of St. George's Church, St. Cath- arines, a service consisting of hymns, psalms, prayers and lessons and was es- pecially adapted totheoccasion. Therev. gentleman selected as his text the 13th and 14th verses of St. Paul's 1st epistle to the Corinthians : "Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire ; and the lire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he bath built there- upon, he shall receive a reward," And therefrom preached a sermon, appropri- ate, instructive and most eloquent. He enunciated the principles upon which free masonry is founded, shawing that a man cannot be a true Free Mason with- out living a true christian. He discussed same of the objections that from time to time are ignorantly made against the craft and its members, proving beyond a peradventure that each and every of such were false and unfounded. He admon- ished the brethren of the necessity of their being in strict accordance with the grand principles upon which the craft is founded, and exhorted them to so build the edifice of this life that at last in the grand lodge above they might hear from our great, grand Master, the grand Architect of the universe, the words ; "Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of the Lord." The sermon was the finest that has ever been addressed to the Masons here. After service concluded the brethren repaired to the lodge roomwhere a hearty and most unanimous vote of thanks was tendered the Rev. Mr. Ker. A number of the outside craftsmen were present and attended the sermon with the home brethren. The annual picnic of the bible class of the CavenYxesbyterian church teas held on the banks of lake Huron at Grand Bend on Friday last. The gathering was a large one and all enjoyed themselves im• mensely at the usual games, together with boating and bathing. The grounds were reached at an early hour, and after unload- ing the "good things ", the amusements of the day were commenced, The ladies (whom by the way have au enviable repu- tation for preparing an excellent spread) did their part best of all, in presenting the crowd of hungry pienicers twice during ing the day to a groaning table of viands, the like of which is seldom seen. Among on the games several keenly contested quoit matches were pitched Rev. Mr. Martin and Mr. J. P. Ross being the pitchers of the day. The statute labor for 1890 has been completed ; and a drive through the country while in progress was interesting. While some men worked carefully and hard, others displayed great carelessness ; and the idea was forced upon one that statute labor .should be done away with and such taxes paid in cash. If such were the case pathmasters coo d be dispensed with and the keeping in repair of country roads vested in a commission, who would. see that the work was properly done, Nowadays parties working out the statute labor: do more talking than working, and having no knowledge of road -making, what little they do do, often, is of more damage than benefit to the road. With the keeping in repair of the roads vested. in a commission, who had the statute labor in the shape of cash to expend, nearly twice the amount of work could be done much better than under the present., system. e Are Now Offering The Following Lines at GREAT REQ CT1ON[y rd ca m a 0 w Embroideries, Dress Goods, Muslins, Prints Carpets, Curtains, Tweeds, Gloves, Hosiesy, Millinery, nery, etc. We are .owing GREAT VALUE IN 'EAS.
