OnMouc Monday morning' while William son of David Richard, was engaged putting the harness on a horse belong- ing to Mi•.

The horst was never considered cross, and the reason assigned for this occur - mice is unknown" The injured part has been, properly cared for by medical skill held on Dr, Hvnciman s favorite driving horse has been stricken with blood pais inning and is confined to the stable. Its logs, chest, and underneath the,jew is badly swollen and the animal is in a frightful condition. They Will l Itomain, Oncof the most enthusiastic meetings ever held in Exeter took place in the Town Hall on Monday evening; last: The Hall was filled to its utmost caps city with of ratepayers of the village. The object of the meeting was to obtain the sentiments of the people regarding the offer rnacle by Mr. Mas- sey, President of the Massey -Burris MVIanufacturin‘e Co.in conjunction with an offer from the' members of the Verity Plow Works, The•offer made was that the said Plow Works would be continued in the Village of Exeter, pro viaingthepeople would put a'switchfrom the L. H. & B. Railway to their estab- lishment. After the meeting was call ed to order, the Reeve, Mr. Bawden took the, chair by an unanimous vote and described the objects of the same, and called on Mr. Robert Verity, who in behalf of the Firm explained mat - tors in a very able and effiicent nrau• net. He status that the Massey Harris Co had now taken an interest in the business to the amount of $50,000 and that it was the wish of Mr. Massey' to move this establishment to Woodstock providing the town wvoiald not, or could not see their way clear to grant the request. He said a very liberal offer awaited them at Woodstock in the shape of large buildings valued at least $20,000 which are looated at the C. P. R. track but said he did not wish to leave the town as his interests. were Dere in more ways than one, but if the. sown could not provide a switch they would certainly have to leave. He said it would be necessary to enlarge the works considerable and employ a large increasing trade of the Northwest and other points. On being asked how many hands they would likely employ, he stated that, inside of one year they would likely increase to double the number of this present Staff, which would mean in the neighborhood of eighty and very probably that num- ber in side of ten _years, would be in- creased to between three and four hun dred. At the conclusion of Mr. Verity's remarks the following gentlemen ex- pressed their views concerning the mat ter, and all urged on the ratepayers to stand hand in hand in this matter and not let such and institution as this be removed from our midst for the paltry amount it would cost to build the switch:—Dr. Rollins. H. Spacl.man,Dan Ross, T. B. Carling, Dr, Lutz, Rey. Fred Halling Fatt, Rev. A. L. Russell, Rev. W. McDonagh; Henry Huston, L. H. Diekson and R. H. Collins. It was mov- ed by H. Huston seed by R. H. Collins that the following resolution, be wired to the Board of Directors, on. Tuesday The entrance and public school leav ing examination will be held this year at Goderich, Exeter, Dungannon, Zur- ich, Clinton, Seaforth, 'Winghani, Brus- sels and Wroxeter, commencing on Tuesday, Tune 2Sth. The primary. junior leaving and pass matriculation examinations, which will be held at Goderieh, Clinton and Seaforth, will commence on Monday, July llth; and the senior leaving and honor matricu- lation examinations, at the same pia ces, will commence on Wednesday, Ju- ly 20th. • From the beginning of its manufact- ure until now not a •single. ounce of. any but pureVirginia leaf of the finest quality has been used in the "Myrtle Navy" tobacco.

Thousands of dallarsa year awed by mixing with an inferior relies would not repay them for a doubt on the part of the public as to the quality of their tobacco. Friends of Grand Master John Ross Robertson are working hard to secure a third term for that gentleman. -=Mr, Mr. B. S. O'Neil is the possessor of a horse that can pick locks and open doors. The animal .on Monday sur' ceedecl in opening the door which loads into the proprietor's driving house and ransacked things in general and was continuing his depredations when caught, The animal being of a hieni blood nature and full of spiritno doubt has adopted this as a means of passing away the hours while remaining in the stable. Again we record the death of a for- mer resident of our village, he the per-, son of Mr William Heiman, second son of the late Wm. Heaman, of Step- hen township, who passed away on F1•fday, the hdth'inst, at his residence, 265 Talbot street,, London, For many years he represented the firms of T, n , n and Samuel rbett Marsh,. , of London � mu Trees, of lbronto, boing h held in hig esteem by all whe had made his ac- quaintance, Ile had been ailing for considerable time with consumption, and from its effeets passed peacefully away full of a glorious anticipation of the resurrection morn, Ile leaves he hind to monn his loss a ifs and ty o little boys, who will have the sympathy of many friends and relatives in this neighborhood. Robertson is a man of ability, and a morning and was carried by an unarn- Freemason of tireless energy and zeah;1 iausvote of those present. • "Resolved that whereas an offer has been made by the president of the Massey .Harris Manufacturing Co., in conjunction with an offer from the members of the Verity Plow works.to contirueat the Village of Exeter the 'Verity Plow Works and to greatly in- crease their canacity on condition that the people of Exeter build, or cause to be built, a switch or spur to connect at the nearest de- :witch point the said plow works with the London, Huron &:Bruce Railway, such said switch or spur to become a part of the system of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, Be it thereforeresolvecithat we, the people of Exeter, do guarantee the construction of such switch or spur." After the usual vote of thanks were tendered by the chairman the meeting adjourned. He has put a great deal of hard work into his official duties. He has earned the thanks of the craft, and has made himself very popular. The cus tom of the Grana Lodge of Canada is that a grand master who deserves web of his brethren is honored with a second term and no more. But as Mr• Robert son is a man of noble qualities and has done much for the order his friends are anxious for him to retain the position for another terra of one year. We have not as yet heard whether Mr. Robert- son accept it or not. It is altogether probable the present Deputy Grand Master, John M. Gibson,will be his suc- cessor if he declines to accept. The Provincial Treasurer has issued a circular pointing out some of the special clauses in the recent amend silent to the Liquor -License Act. The fees to be paidfor tfansfers .and re- movals have been increased, ; Drug gists are now liable to a fine for not entering on their books sales of liquor, and increased penalties are provided for against those who purchase liquor for habitual drunkards. All brewers and distillers must takeout license, and the fee for the same is x;250. The following important clauses of the amendment is particularly referred to: On the trial of any proceeding, matter, or question under any Act of the Leg islature of Ontario, or on the trial of any such justice of the peace, inay_or, rn' g', .ma ISLr to in any matter CO a Police •� nizable by such justice, mayor, or po- lice magistrate, the party opposing, or defending, or the wife or husband of the person epposing or defending, shall be competent and compellable to give evidence therein, As considerable interest is being .ta- ken in shooting circles just now in our midst, another of those weekly shoots took plica on Thursday evening last week when Mr. Fred Collins won the gold inedal also the silyer eup given by the Baseball Club The scores in each match were:— I.Ifandford 1 0 0 Q.-2 E,' Bissett 0 1 1 0 1-3.
