Fire.
.4.'4t an early hour on Tuesday morning
fire was discovered in the stable of Ur.
Richard Pick trd. 1Vhen discovered
the fire, which had evidently originated
in the hay loft, had made considerable
headway and was already issuing from
the roof in sheets of flame which threat.
ened the destruction of Mr. Pickard's
beautiful residence and other buildinssggs.
A woodshed situated between the stable
and the dwelling house was several times
attacked by the &'tines, and only by the
strenuous efforts of several of our towns-
men who fought the flames so heroically
at this point was it saved and the flames
confined to the stables. Had the flames
gained possession of this shed it would
have been almost impossible to have
saved the dwelling house owing to the
lack of an adequate water supply. The
members of the fire department were
greatly hampered, with what proved on
this occasion to be an almost worthless
fire engine and an insufficient supply of
hose, in such a way that they were un-
able to throw a single stream of water
upon the lire. Mr. Pickard's loss m
estimated at about $,300partially covered
by insurance. Tho most valuable of the
contents of the stably were taken out
and tieus saved before the faro reached
the lower part. The utter inadequacy
of our present protection. against tiro
has on several occasions been demon-
strated beyond any question, and it is
high time that our "town fathers" took
into their consideration the provision of
some melt more thorough system of
protection beforeour village suffers some
heavy ioss-
The origin of the tire is unknown, hut
is supposed to be the work of tramps,
who sought the hay -loft for a nights
repose.

Following were the ruling prices for
produce in Exeter lastweek:—Butter, 12e.
to 14o. per lb. : eggs, 13c. per doz. ; rasp-
berries, 7c. to 8e per ib. ; new potates,
80c. to 903. per bush. ; spring chickens
30c. to 50c. per pair ; spring ducks, 600.

produce were equally high.
It is stated that there will be a new
grain buyer on the Exeter market this
fall and winter, in the person of Mr. Robt.

The entertainment held in the roller

The San Francisco West End has a
lengthy article referring to our old
friend Mr. Lewis Thorne, who has just
been elected to the Honorable position
of High Chief Ranger of the Grand
Court of California :—
Entering the Grand Court at its organi-
zation a comparative stranger, by his
affable manners and familiarity with the
common laws governing such organizations,
Lewis Thorne soon won the confidence and
esteem of his colleagues and became one of
the moat popular members of that grand
body. As one of the results, he was unani-
mously accorded the honor of a seat in
the First Executive Council by beintr
elected to the position of High Senior
Woodward, and now holds the position of
High Chief Ranger of the Grand Court,
which was unanimously tendered him.
It was in the town of Seaforth, Canada,
that our popular High Chief Ranger was
first introduced into the mysteries of
Ancient Forestry, when he was initiated
as a member of Court Sherwood Forest on
the evening of September 10th, 1883. In
January following he was elected Sub
Chief Ranger and at the close of the term,
June 30th, 1884, he was elevated to the
position of Chief Ranger. At the same
time he was elected a delegate to the Sub-
sidiary High Court of Canada, which met
in London in Augpst, cf 1884. At the
meeting of this body he declined the office
of Subsidiary High Sub Chief Ranger, he
preferring the office of District Chief
Ranger, to which he had been elected.
His Forestic experience in California be-
gan with the institution of Court Semi -
Tropic.. He afterwards assisted P. C. R.
McGinnis to institute Court Los Angeles,
No. 7599, and becoming favorably im-
pressed with the staying qualities of the
latter Court, he took his clearanee card
from his mother Court and deposited it in
the new Court. It was in the latter Court
the Brother so ably represented at the
organization of the Grand Court ot Califor-
nia.
In addition to the prominent position
High Chief Ranger Thorne occupies in
the Ancient Order of Foresters in Amer
iea, he is also a worthy member of several
sister fraternal societies. He is a Past
Master of Southern California Lodge, F.
& A. M , a member of Signet Chapter, B
A. M. fritter of Coeur de Lion Cammand-
ary, Knights Templar ; member of Al
Mmlaikah Temple, A. A. 0. N. M. S.,
(Ancient Arabic Order Nobles Mystic
Shrine) an Odd Fello w, K. of P., A. 0. U.
W , and as the 'Brother facetiously puts
it, an applicant for the introduction into
the mysteries of Angelino Circle of the
Companions •of the Forest—the ladies
branch of Forestry—and an institutionin
which the benevolent brother wi 1 undoubt-
edly add new laurels to his fraternal
crown.
The law of the road has been amended
by adding the following :—"Any person
so overtaking another vehicle or horseman
shall turn out to the left so far as may be
necessary to avoid. a collision with the
vehicle or horseman so overtaking, and
the person so overtaken shall not be requir-
ed to leave more than one-half of the road
free." This act came into force on the
1st day of August. - -

The authorities in London are still
wrangling over the matter of Sunday
boating. Capt. Foster persists in running
his boats, contrary to the will of the Coun-
cil ; and City Clerk Abbott, acting under
iristruotinns from Mayor Taylor, . has
wtitten to Capt. Foster informing him that
if the steamerson the river again run on
Sunday his license will be forfeited., The
main objection of the Council to the boats
running to the cemetery on Sunday is that,
it would afford a splendid opportunity for
the loafing and lower element to visit the
sacred rest of the-dead—a practise which
has been long and successfully guarded
against, and which the Council at this
juncture purpose fighting. They are
jpatified.
