At Work, Etteter s new and Iatest industry—the Exeter Park Packing House --is now in full operation, and a glance at the interior of the premises on James street, reveals a veritable live of industry, The various processes through which the raw creat emerges into the beautiful and inviting eared ham and bacon, is exemplified by the employees wain are as busy as bees in the respective apartments, suitably ar. ranged for the purpose. When the pork- ers arrive they are quickly dressed, and with precision are forwarded from one department to the other, till they are canvased and hung up to season: The establishment is ]older the control of Mr. Louis Day, of London. who is experi- euced in thebusiness and who has a repu - tation of being moat successful in produe. ing superior cured meats. The proprietors Messrs Snell Bros. & Johnston are ener getie young men who wiil leave nothing unturned to make the business a saccess, and their first step is to place atrayeller on the road. They have gone to a great ex- pense in fitting their mammoth packing house, and we heartily wish them a large measures of success. Death of Arra, John Welsh. The residents of 60 years and over are thinning out and but few remain to recall times changes. Oneof the kindliest of the old residents, Mrs. Welsh died at her husband's farm residence 2nd concession of Usborne on Saturday last of rheumatism accompanied by nervous prostration. She may be called a native though born in Devonshire England, in the year 1837. Her parents while she was an infant name to Canada.

They are Wesley, Annie, Eliza, and Richard. De- ceased had been ill tor some years but not seriously, and her death was unexpected. Mr. Welsh has the sympathy of all in the loss he has sustained in his declining years by the death of his estimable wife, and the community regret the removal of . another of the old kind hearted residents whose presence kept alive the memories of other days. The funeral took place. on Monday, and the large concourse testified to the high esteem in which the deceased was held. Something special in Corsets for 75o at the Big Bankrupt Store. Mr. Wm.

At the shooting match on Friday, a very sad accident happened to one of the outside shooters. A pigeon having escaped the vigilant eye of one of the contestants in the match, had alighted on a rail fence at some distance to "take in" the situationf Meantitne there were several outskirters after it and among those seeking an ap• proach was & Mr Graham. While ho;was ou one side of the fence to scare the rind, a Mr Oarrink, of Hay, was on the other for the purpose of shooting ; and after raising the bird, instead of falling to the ground, Graham peered between the rails, the result being that a couple =hots embedded them- selves in his head, inflictinga serious wound in his eye. An eye doctor from London was called who is of opinion that, with careful treatment the eye may be saved. Mr. Graham is from Chesley and not long ago married one of Exeter's fair daughters in the person of Miss Martha Bagshaw. [Since the above was put in type the young man has lost his eye, and having become worse, little hopes are entertained of hos recovery. He is in a very critical condttion.1 Exeter's Innis • For some weeks previous to Nov 13th, the St. Marys papers indulged in a tirade against the Exeter market, and by quoting imaginary high prices, sought to make the farmers believe that from two to three cents per bushel more were paid on St, Marys market for grain than was being paid in Exeter. The farmers seemingly paid no attention to the attacks and continued coming to Exeter ; and we might add that among them were many from near St. Marys. On examination of the market reports, for the last two weeks, published in the St Marys papers, (which by the way do not give the lowest quotations by any means) we find that Exeter has been paying from two to three cents per bushel more for wheat' and barley than was paid in St Marys. Here are the actual figures: eat MARYs Wheat ail kinds 90 to 90, Barley 38 to 50. EXETER* Wheat 90 to 92 Barley 45 to 52 Now, since the St Marys papers do not mind stretching a point, even the prices, given above are to be looked upon with caution ; and while the St Marys market is practically controlled by one firm, there are four separate interests represented in Exeter. thereby rendering competition as keen as keen can be ; and the prices given weekly by the Tees are as high as the markets o.n afford. teat Dice00 00 d0 Oppoiturity We have just purchased a large line of Dress Goods, from a Montreal; firm at a grew sacrifice.
