Generally caused by exposure to cold,

result produces inflammation of the

The bridge under construction on
Exeter side road is getting along fine-
ly. The piles are all driven (about 50)
and ail driven without a single acci-
dent. Tile piles are first class, and were
rapidly driven. On Saturday last, Mr.
John Broltenshire in passing took a no-
tion to note the time required to drive
one post or pile. Prom the time the
post was in the proper position for driv-
ing and until it was driven as far as
needed (12 feet) was just 41 minutes.
The woikmen appear to be determined
to make a first class job and do it in
the shortest time possible. In 8 or 10
days more we may expect to pass over
as good a wooden bridge as ever span-.
ed the Sauble.—Com.

on the 24th at Exeter, it should have
been Thos Prior's instead of mine as
I had no horse in th,t race, eir. Prior
having entered his horse in my name

Quite tin excitement prevailed i
town the other evening as a report go
cone& that the west end tailor sho
narrowly escaped- destruction by ,th
explosion of a supposed clynatnit
bomb. The excitement ran so hig
that it would be fearful for any strang
er to have a,ppea,red on the scene un
less he could give a minute account o
his business in that vicinity. The pro
prietor made a fruitless search to th
west and, returning scareely took a
day to rest when he again resumed
the search, and, this time he, as the
shepherds of old, took the star of the
Ea,st as his guide. He invoiced the aid
of the Exeter legal machinery; that
beingesomewhat disjointed, it proved a
failure also., Lastly, our city fathers
•iustituted an enquiry, when, to our
great surprise, a •eharming young
damsel, just °tit of her "teens," came
and pleaded guilty. She said she was
going for a friendly chat, in the even-
ing, with the proprietor, and as he had
ncibell OD the door she set off a fire-
cracker to attract his attention, not
thinking she would frighten her gent-
leman friend so badly. The city fath-
ers thereupon passed a • by-law, that
"All tailors who receive evenipg call-
ers will haye to invest in a door -bell."

When the teacher cried noon in that

We have now a new brick one, we late-

should be avoided, sentence building
