LOCAL HAPPENINGS. Personale. G. A. Ilyndanau has received a good appointmena by a, whclesalo tea firm of London.—Miss Lizzie Shute who has been visiting friends in the States for the past nine months returned home on Thursday last.—Mr T. Shute and family, of Tacoma, Washington State, are the guests of Mr Shute's father, at present. Mr Shute left Exeter many years ago, and notes with pride the many improvements that have taken place here since he left,—Miss Lily Gill is visiting friends in Clinton.—\lies Vantassle, of Clinton, spent Sunday in town —Mrs Bert Grigg is visiting friends in Sarnia.—Miss Paisley, of Clinton. spent Sunday in town.—Messrs Simpson and Snider gave their friends of Exeter a call on Monday.—Messrs Carter and May, of Clinton, spent Sunday visiting friends in town.—Messrs Will and Robert Farley of 5eaforth, spent a few days of last week visiting friends in town.—Mrs J. Darling returned home on Tuesday after spending six weeks visiting in Durham.—Miss May Southtott, of London, who has been spend- ing a few weeks visiting friends in and around Exeter, left for her home on Mont day.—Mrs Manning and Mrs F. J. Man- ning and daughter, of Bowmanville, are the guests of Mrs J. A. Stewart. Shipments, On Friday last these were large ship- ments of stock etc from the Exeter station, to Montreal. There were four car loads of cattle and three car loads of hogs Messrs Wood Bros & Ballentine and Mr Pridham were the shippers. The shipments repre- sent a large amount of money paid to the farmers of this section. In the instance of the hogs the fact is demonstrated that Free Trade would not be beneficial to the farmers, and instead of their receiving $5 per cwt. as at present ; under unrestricted reciprocity, if they could sell them at all, would only get from $2 50 to $3 per cwt. As to the cattle the farmer is fully aware of the benefits he now derives. One of the largest and finest shipments of export cattle that has left this station for some years, was that of. Messrs W. Balkwill & Son, of Exeter, on Saturday last. It cnm- prisedthree carloads of excellent stock— the pick of the country, for which these gentlemen paid in hard cash the sum of $4,500. The average price was $S5 some ening over 4100 per head. They were bought by the pound at 5i cents. The shipment not only reflects credit on the farmers who raised and fattened the stock, but also is creditable to Messrs Balkwill who have proved themselves good buyers. The concert given n Tuesday evening in the Thames Road Presbyterian church, under the auspices of the choir, was in every particular a success. The church was well filled and the program a rich and rare one. Miss Agnes Knox, B. E., of Toronto, University commence ed the program, and with the exception of the Exeter male quartette and the church choir interspersing, the celebrat- ed elocutionist was the main feature of the entertainment. She rendered seven selections in grand style, carrying her audience with her from commencement to finish: The proceeds amounted to $54, $30 of which went to Miss Knox. Notice to tea drinkers !

The mercury has since risen and now the weather is more pleas- ant. Messrs Dyer & Howard on Friday last received the contract for the erection of a handsome Manse in Ailsa Craig. Mr 0. L. Money, of 1 irkton, has secured the painting. The court of revision of the assessment roll for the village of Exeter will be bold in the town hall next Tuesday, 26th May. As yet there are few appeals against the assessment. The Bethesda S. S. will give an enter- tainment on May 25th. Tho particulars are given by poster, and we should judge that a pleasant day can be spent with our Bethesda friends. The Exeter Orchestra went to Parkhill on Tuesday to take part in an entertain- ment there that evening. The Orchestra dispenses excellent music and always gives thorough satisfaction. Mr A. MeD. Allan, of Goderich, the well known fruit expert says, that if farmers desire to get the best returns from their orchards they should cultivate them just s much as other parte of the farm. adies, call and see the big drive in dress goods this week at E. J. Spackman & Co's. a0c dress goods for 15c; 40c dress goods tor 25c, all wool. These are special lines and cannot be replaced at the price. Yesterday there were 20 dairy co ass sold by auction at Centralia. Mr H Eilber wielded the hammer and secured good prices for the stock. They were bought by the patrons of the Centralia cheese factory. The case—Stephen vs McGillivray, will likely be argued in Toronto this week. This is an action by the township of Step- hen to compel the township of McGillivray to share the expense of the projected canal at Grand Bend. The Sanitary Inspector has for the most part gone his rounds, and with some ex- ceptions, and grave ones, he reports the sanitary condition of Exeter as Al. The places which are not in a proper state will be attended to forthwith. An advertisement appears in another column calling for tenders for the purchase of the Methodist parsonage in Hensall. Any of the TIMES readers desiring to pur- chase this desirable property, will do well to read the notice in another column. The heavy frost of Saturday night injure ed the fruit seriously. Garden stub which unfortunately had been put in fared bad- ly. The prospects for a large fruit season werenever better, and it is hoped that the damage is not as serious as expected. The smoky condition of the atmosphere is caused by forest fires in :Michigan. The town of.Alma, where many TIMES readers reside, was last week surrounded by fire, and narrowly escaped destruction. Other cities of the State sent engines to fight the flames. Go to Crediton on May 25th. There will bo more amusement there for less money than in any other town. There will be a calithumpian parade, horse rac- ing, base ball and various kinds of athletic sports. There will be no admission fee to any of the sports. Mr John Delbridge on Saturday deliver- ed in Exeter two fat cattle, the largest brought into this place for some time. One of the animals weighed 1850, the other 1600, and Mr D. received $4 70 Der cwt for them. The cattle go to the Old Coun- try, and this price le said to be good. Children Cry °for Pitcher's Castoria A Comparison or Assessments. Parkhill was not satisfied to remain a village, and some time ago, by special act of Parliament, became a town. The false vanity sof that town is amusing, The assessors returns give the following in- formation, which, compared with the assessment of the modest village of Exeter, presente a statement of facts worthy of consideration, and which would, indicate that Exeter aand not Parkhill should as- sume the dignified title of a town. The value of real property in Parkhill is 5287,- 068 ; in Exeter 5421 s50. Personal pro- perty and taxable income in Parkhil $15,000 ; in Exeter $15.915. Total as sessment in Parkhill 5302,268 ; in Exeter $168 015. The paper whiela published the figures concerning the assessment did not give the popu'oeionn; no doubt it is ton small to be made public. The population of Exeter is over 1.900 It will thus be seen that while Exeter reainains a village it is at least one third larger than Parkhill in every respect. The Late Thomas Inaston. One by one the obi settlers are passing from the scene awl we have this week to ehroniele the demise of Mr Thos.

The by law with respect to this reads that on and after Aug 15th, all Cows shall be kept in at night. The absence of rain has retarded the crops, and if copious showers do not soon come, hay will be an expensive article this year. Those who have plenty of last year's crop may yet realize well out of it. We have recently been asked by many village subscribers why we do not publish in the Tierxs the monthly report of the standing of the pupils of the Exeter public school. We leave this to the Principal to answer. Mr Burns, of Toronto, bas rented the store at Lumley, and will open an imple- ment ware room and general store therein. Mrs Dinuin, who has kept store and Post Office in Lumley for the past 25 years will move to Exeter to reside with her daugh- ter, Mrs James Fanson. On the farm of Mr Dennis Farmer, McGillivray, there is a curious freak of nature. Some weeks ago a mare lost its colt, and not to be disappointed, she took to raising a calf. The calf follows its fos- ter mother with the same instinetiveness as it would the cow, and the mare is equally maternal. Exercise of the muscles is necessary for the proper development of the human sys- tem, but unfortunately carrying water, cutting wood, working in the garden, or running family errands is not half as pop- ular with the average boy just now as carrying a big bamboo pole around the country on fishing expeditions. The energy and ability which character- ize the present management of the Domin- ion Illustrated are more and more apparent each succeeding week and month Lum- bering in Canada, the great Chigrecto Ship Railway, the formal opening of the Do- minion Parliament, are among the subjects that have been taken up recently and exhaustively illustrated. Both from the literary and artistic point of view this journal is a pronounced success, and in the fullest sense deserving of its steadily growing popularity. The publishers are the Sabiston Litho. and Pub. Co., Mon- treal. The season when most work is done on country roads is at hand, There is no way of making better permanent improvement than to put stone or tile underdrains beside the roadway, with tiles leading under the road at the low places and into a good outlet on the lower side, If digging ditches could be made as easy as other ways of working on the road. or if the work.could largely be done by horses, much more underdraining would be done by roadsides. It would be a great advant- age it each town owned a ditching machine It would prove a good investment also, as when not in use on the roadways it could be rented to farmers whenever they had a job of underdraining to do. Possibly where farmers are organized and have the money, such machines might better be purchased by the local Grange, and then rented when wanted to the town or to other individual farmers.

The bull. terrier dog, belonging to Master ,Sam'l Gould, which. Isas of Istte been a terror to all the dos in town, was last week despatched. By allowing it to too frequently indulge in a scrap with other doge the brute became 80 furious that it had to be muzzled. It would°grab horses or ,anything that drew its attention. Last week young Gould took its muzzle off when in the yard, and while the boy lay on the grass the dog attacked hint and bit hie face somewhat seriously. It was at once shot.
