Short Sermons. —�—
Among the many, there is one good
feature, especially, attending the Sunday
procedure of the ministers of Exeter—
they kindly mitigate the tedium of the
services during the hot summer months
by shortening thein. As a consequence
they are favored with comparatively large
congregations . The ministers realize
the weariness of sitting in a pew for an
hour and an half on a warm Sunday, and
sensibly preach sermons well adapted to
the season. . A preacher ought to say all
that can be profitably said on a given
subject at one time in twenty minutes ;
and a great many of the wholesome'.
maxims and wise directions for the soul's
health could be imparted by a thought-
ful and inerciful speaker in a space of
ten. minutes and the teacher eacher who agrees
with himself in the true spirit of "coma
pression, during the dog days, is likely
to receive a more grateful attention from
those he is called to minister unto.

Carling, Minister of Agriculture, a copy of

The apple crop this season is quite gen-
erally a failure, and more so than last year,
when the crop was a good one through
Miehipan and some parts of Canada. This
year nearly all the apples will be grown
too far south for profitable marketing,
Almost any day during Last week new
faces could be seen on our streets—faces of
farmers who had come a distance to par-
ticipate in receiving the high prices paid
for grain and produce, and also to take
advantage of the excellent bargains given
by our merchants.
Following were the ruling prices for
produce in Exeter last week:—Butter, 12c.
to 13c. per lb. : eggs, 17c. ,per doz. ; rasp-
berries, 6e. to 7c per Ib. ; new potates,
$1.30 to $1.50 per bush. ; spring chickens,
30c. to 50c. per pair ; spring ducks, 60e.
to 75c. per pair.. Other vegetables and
,produce were equally high.
Main street is receiving a coating of
coarse gravel. Exeter can boast of having
the best made streets of any town in On-
tario. They are well graded and on
either side possess rows of beautiful,
well -grown shade trees. In fact we have
one of the most picturesque towns to he
found.
The prospects for a good crop has stimu.
lated business of late,so commercial travel-
lers say, and the dulness which has pre.
veiled for a year is lifting. During the
past two years a great many weak traders
all over the country have been weeded out
with the result that there is less compe-
tition and therefore less over -buying.
Almost every person likes the taste of
new potatoes. They are a luxury. But
for solid nutriment the tubers of last year's
growth are preferable. In the new potato
the starch in whichthe nutritive value of
potatoes mainly consists is not formed.
This is shown by the refusal of bakers to.
buy them for mixing with the flour in
bread making.

Thunder Storms,
A couple of very' severe thunder
showers visited this suction last week,
The storm Thursday evg. was unusually
severe, and many farm buildings in this
neighborhood suffered destruction by
lightning. .i1. barn belonging to Mr.
Wes. Hneston, at Centralia, burred to
the ground. It contained a quantity of
hay and several agricultural implements.
Fortunately Isis new binder was at work
in the field. He also losta stack of hay.
Several barns lathe township of Hibbert
were also destroyed, at considerable loss
to the owners. Friday's rain was ac-
companied by rain and hail, and worked
sad havoc with the standing grain in
some sections. In the township of Hay,
near Zurich, the grain was badly lodged
by the hail, and it is doubtful as to
whether it will stand again. The rain
did no damage, but was rather a great
benefit to the root crops, which had so*
verely suffered during the past few weeks
for want of moisture.
The Agricultural Society*
There was a meeting of the Directors
of the Ag'I Society on Saturday, The
different directors presented their sub-
scription books, which showed a mem-
bership for this year of over X00. The
books were returned to the Directors,
each leaving with a determination to add
at least ten more names to their list.
Let every farmer and all others who have
an interest in the fair .subscribe their
names and dollar, and thus assist the
Directors in making the fair of 1800 the
most successful ever bald in Exeter,
The Stephen and t'sborne Society should
have a membership of 1,000, and if all
interested were to exert themselyes
somewhat, there would be no trouble in
reaching the above number. Do not
think that you are merely granting the
Directors a favor in subscribing; but
properly make sap your mind that you
are benefiting yourself. Fall fairs aro
the best Farmers' institutes there are ;
and whilst the farmer is adding to his
own grist of knowledge, the townspeople
are helping to forward the interests of
the town, Let everybody become a
member of the Stephen cis t'aborne
Society,
To Our Subeeribers.�—T
On a number of occasions during the
past six months, wo have sent out ac-
counts to those of our subscribers who
are in arrears, and we are pleased to say
that many responses have come taus, for
which we return our best thanks ; but
there are still an our list many subscrib-
ers who have failed to do their duty in
the premises, and to those we now ad-
dress ourselves : If you are in arrears
for a month, three months, six months
or a year, or if you have lot your sub-
scription go by default for a longer
period than that, be good enough to
make the matter straight at once. Every
man who neglects to payhis subscription
is notdishouest,but, after a nxsn'satten
tion has been called to the fact that he
is in arrear and he fails to make things
right, his chances of injuring the Deca-
logue are built on a solid foundation,

get to send enongh money to cover the
charges. Be just; be upright; be honest.
Logic at your label and make things
right. If only one subscription were in
question, it would not be so important
to us, but with several hundreds in this
position it becomes a weighty matter.
