palm off wo:thles limitations of the

was the cause of much annoyance, and
Messrs. Tuckett & Son were compelled
to resort to tile law courts te put a stop
to it. Though they have not inet with
any cases of the kind lately,. it its al
ways a safe precaution for the purchas-

An exchange eays:-.e4-In Novsmber
last the Reliance Electric Company of
Waterfoid, contracted with the eity
council of Stratford to light that city
with 70 electrie lights at 20 cents per
light per night, the lights to be 2,000
candle power. 1,1 the later part of Dec
ember the Reliance. •Company sold its
Contract to the Stratford Gas (..)otripany
and an electrical ex plrt has since de-
elared the light furnished•ie notup to
the standard agreed upon. The sale
of the contraet to the gns company Leis
never been recognized by the council
and the Itelialice Company disclaims
respoesibility In the mealiti,ne the
city is getting its light free, the cram
eil having refused to pay for the light
on the ground that it is not equal to
what the, e glean -lent calls for. The,
trouble, it is expected, will terrninate
in a ;awsuit." Hew foolish our citizens
were at not taking the agent at his of-

o'clock the soot in ;o chimney Pit
tho Commercial Hotel was discovered
to be 'bulldog. Volumes of smoke
brirst footle, but in a. 3.03111 11313.3. all was
thought to be over. Shortly after this,
1)031 3(1, the. tiosmiths working in
Cabbledick aed Follatod's tinshop dis
covered the roof to be ou fire. An a-
larm quickly sounded through thc vie
lage tied. in a few momeets eager
.hands were rushing- towards ehe scene
to render assistance. Ledders and
pails were at once procured and men
climbed on the roof and sueceeded in
alla,yileg the fiames before the torrival
of the tic elegiac, which, however, was,
not long ia responding to the call. The
fire was caused by a spark beilig
blown underneath the ridgeboard
where it ignited •the shingles and was
soon fanned into a flame by the strong
wind which was blowing at 104 time.
Had it not been for the speedy action
taken by the citizens, /to doubt many
here would have witnessed one of the
'worst conflagrations that has ever talc,
en place in Ex.eter. The damage has
