LOCAL HAPPENINGS*
Presbytery of Ilttron,
The P^•esbyteryof Huron suet in Caren
Church, Exeter, on the 12th inst. Rev
Mr Anderson of Goderich, Moderator.
There was a good attendance of ministers,
bat many of the elders were detained on
account of the spring work. After the
reading of minutes and other routine busi
ness the Rev. C. Fletcher was appointed
member of the 1Iome Mission Committee
fur the ensuing year. Mr Wm. Fulton
stud Mr. Somerville having resigned their
appointments to the General Assembly, W
Turnbull and ler Irving' were appointed in
their places. Letters were read front the
folowing Ptesbyteries, setting forth that
they would et the next meeting of General
Assembly apply to receive the following
as Ministers of the Presbyterian Church,
viz :—Halifax in behalf of Dr Barrows
and James Burgess of the Presbyterian
Church, U. S. and Ireland respectively ;
Winnipeg in behalf of W l' Way ; Kings-
ton for T P Shanks ot Pres. ch. TJ S ;
Columbia for D McRae and R. S. Whed-
den of the Presbyterian and Congregational
Churches of the U S.
Rev Mr Martin presented the statistical
report. It set forth that the number of',
families in the Presbytery is nearly 9,000 ;''l
that while a decrease of 35c per family was
noticeable in contributions to Missions,
yet in those for all purposes there was an
increase of nearly three dollars per family;
that the average contribution per family
was .$2 80 for Missions, while for all pur•
poses it was nearly $20 per family. The
report was received and ordered to be
printers Rev Mr Wilson of the Main st
Methodist church, Exeter, being present,
was asked to sit as a coaresponding mem-
ber. Rev Mr McDonald presented a re-
port regarding Leeburn and Union church"'
.es to the effect that they had secured a
Minister for them who was willing to'
work among them without asking for any
aid from the Augmentation Fund. The
Presbytery granted moderation in a eall.
The Presbytery afterwards adjourned to
meet in Knox Church, Goderich, on July
14th.
While shoeing a fractious horse in Mr.
S. Buckingham's blacksmith shop the
other day, Mr. Nelson Hoskin received
serious injuries to one of his hands,
which will disable him for some time.
Yesterday Mr. Wm. Calfas delivered
at Exeter five steers for which he re
ceived $288.81, an average of $57.75
each. The heaviest of the lot was a
two-year-old which weighed 1,340 lbs.
A Commercial traveller was heard. to
remark the other day that there was more
business done in Exeter on an average than
is done in either Clinton or Goderich.
Exeter's business men are enterprising, and
by giving bargains in tee latest styles and
snakes of goods have brought a large trade
here. :People come to Exeter by train for
bargains. We have 9 of the finest general
stores in the county at which to get bar-
atains.
The Assessor some weeks ago completed
the assessment of the, -Village. From the
roll the following statistics are taken :—
Value of real property $421,750 ; personal
property $42 945 ; income $3,400—total as
^sesement $463,045 ; population 1900 ; No.
of dog 89 ; cattle 140 ; hogs 52, horses 138
During the year ending Dec. 1890 there
were registered 32 births, 13 marriages and
24 deaths. The average age at death dur-
ing the year was 42. Average age at
death during the six months ending May,
was 43 years. This is a good death aver-
age and shows that Exeter is a healthy
town in which to live.

Fire,
Another incendiary fire occurred on
Thursday morning last aboat 3 o'clock.
This time a stable belonging to Mr Mark
Meakins was the ill fated building It
appears that the culprits set fire to some
hay that protruded through a broken
window of the stable and before any per-
son lead become aware, the building was
burned to the ground, together with a
valuable cow belonging to Mr N. Peterson
which was in the stable at the time. This
is the third or fourth incendiary fire which
has occurred within the past two months,
and the town council taking the matter in
hand. have offered a reward of $100 for
the app'eheusiou and conviction of any
person or persons firing any building with-
in the corpuration.

Entertaiolnenr.
The elocutionary entertainaoent given
by Psof. Mounteer and his Exeter class on
Friday evening. was a aucceeifitl affair
from a literary point of view ; the attend-
anee being meagre indeed, a sutiieient sunt
for expellees !tering not been realized. The
program was of good length and consisted
solely of elocutionary numbers, interspera
ed with selections by the Exeter orchestra.
Besides the p'ofcsaor, the participants in
the program were young ladies and gentle
men of the village, and judging from the
excellent manlier in which each rendered
his and her part we should say that, while
the professor has made gooduse of leis
teaching faculties, the class has proved.
themselves to be apt pupils. Measre. W.
E. Gundy, J W. Hogarth, F. W. Hogarth
and the Misses Lillian Welsh, Carrie Reid
and Pauline Down, each did creditably.
In the " Life iluttt Crew " the professor
fully sustained his high reputation es
nn Elocutionist of note. and whose ability
has won for him the title of B. E.
Organ Opening.
The new pipe organ which has recently
been erected in the Main at Methodist Ch
was on Monday evening formally opened,
by an entertainment. The affair consisted
of recitals on the organ by Prof. Birks, of
London, interspersed with solos and duetts
by the Exeter male Quer ette, Mr. For•
aeith, of London, who took a prominent
part as a soloist, Mr. Brown of Exeter,
who sang several bass solos, and 1,1rs.
Emery also of Exeter, who with her well
cultured voice, assisted materially in the
program. Revs Martin and Ramsay (Pres
byterian.) Russel, and Lansley of London,
each gave short and pithy addresses. For
au impromptu program it was one of the
best ever presented in Exeter, the recitals
on the organ atone being worthy of the oc-
casion. The organ is a handsome inst,u-
ment, with a smooth, full, sweet, tone and
its capabilities were well displayed by the
Professor. The Church was nicely decor•
ated with blooming flowers. which lent
p'easantness to he occasion, and for which
the ladies of the church deserve much
credit, The instrument was maoufactu•ed
in Montreal, and cost $1500, about $1200
having been raised by private subscription.
The collection taken up at the opening
amountedto $73, which will be applied to
the organ fund.

coward then took to his heels.
The congregation of the N1ain•st. Meth.
church were without organ or choir at the
services last Sunday. The new pipe organ
which had been put in during the previous
week, was not quite finished, and the
former organ having been removed they
were without aninstrument to use. ' The
singing was well rendered notwithstanding
the absence of the usual accompaniments.
The nopious showers of the earlier part
of the week revived vegetation, and now
the grain and garden stuff look promising.

!, What's in a name 1" In this instance
there is a good deal, which is illustrated by
a story coming from Parkhill. There is
au Orchestra in Exeter, and the ability of
its members as musicians is widespread.
This Orchestra has heen engaged to go
to Parkhill, and the minister of the church
there in which the entertainment is to take
place, learning that the! a was a deacon be-
longing to it, sought to have him conduct
the Sunday services. It is needless to say
that the Deacon gracefully declined the
flattering invitation.
At the present time the cemetery is look
