' A rather huge, yet somewhat practical joke, was played upon an innocent young English emigrant who has lately been in the employ of a farmer of Usborne. The young man, it appears, had been paying his best attentions to a young lady in the neighborhood, but recently has. affiliation for her society has somewhat waned. Knowing the circtunstances, and with a desire . as much for exacting a sum of money'i,s`woriting a joke, a man named Hogg visited innocence in afield where be rats ploughing, and after persuading him that he held a warrant for his arrest, on a charge of breach of promise—although the young man strongly declared ita falee— Hogg suceeede:l in obtaining' in 'set - lament of the charge. Hogg the had' a gond time at the expense of the'young lady as well as the young man. ; but this was not all. In the evening the farmer asked what Hogg was doing in the field ro long, and being told his errand, he saw that his man had been sadly taken in. Next day, the young man, with drooping spirits, came to town and swore out an in- formation n- for..mation against Hogg for obtaining money under false pretences. Hogg can - net be found, but is said to be in the vicin- ity. Instead of he being a constable and after the young Englishman. the genuine 'rep' is now after him,;—thus the tables Lave turned. _ J For first-class pickling vinegars go to J. P. Clarice's.

The greatest display of Mantles ever shown in Exeter will be on exhibition at Richard Pickard & Son's on 'Fair days. Quality, price and everything right. Call and see them. A number of the Exeter Royal Temp- lars of Temperance visited Hensel' on Wednesday evening last and joined their brethren and sisters there in holding a basket social. A good time is reported. Parkhill Council has very wisely decided to do all local improvements, such as drains, sewers, pavements, &c. under the system known as the frontage tax. Exeter has in part been following this mode of taxation for some time. On the second dayof the Exeter fair there is expected to take place, a foot race —100 yards—between Mr. Winn of Win- phelsea, and W. Folland of Exeter, for the championship of the county. This will be a:close race, as both contestants are pro- fessionals,'"and. in good condition for the fray. Tee Tames was the only paper last 'veek that publishedthe' listthe- rite of Hen- sel]. sow, the other papers following this week, wheu the news has become stale. The fair was held on Tuesday and Wed- nesday and early Thursday morning Tee Trains contained a full report of the list of prize winners and special attractions. This is considered quick work. A very heavy thunder storm passed over this neighborhood on Friday after- noon. It was preceded by a strong wind which levelled fences, destroyed trees and blew down the appieea The rain came dawn in torrents, while the lightning was close and fierce. Several barns in the vicinity were burned 'in consequence of. the storm.

Royal Tempters. A meeting for the formation of a Bite triet Council of the Royal Template of Temi!erance. for the county of Huron. was held in Seaford* last week Eleven Coun- cils out of the eighteen now in the ccunty were represented.

Much in- terest tees manifested in the proceedings of the meeting, and a very profitable time was spent. It was thought by all present that the formation of a District Council was a move in the light direction, and much good work may be expected from this new organization in connection with. the order of Royal Templarism.
