Seaforth Expositor.—"Mr. Thomas
Govenlock has snown us what is a real
curiosity. It is a sheet of what looks
very much like brown kid leather,
such as is usually in gloves. It is
smooth and so tough that a .person can
hardly tear it with the fingers. 'It is
much tougher than ordinary leather
of the same thickness. Mr. Govenloek
skinned it from the top of a barrel of
cider vinegar, that being the shin that
accumulated during the winter. .
"Messrs. Wm. Dickson, H. Bishop
and J M. Gibbs, of Parkhill, have

put in a condition 'which will contrib-
ute to the comforts of ' campers. We
believe that the public-spirited action
of these gentlemen will be appreciated
during the coming camping season."—

Several of the "old band boys" are
making an effort torevive interest in
a band for Exeter. It is a deplorable
sta'.e of things if. Exeter-- .the most
beautiful town in the county—cannot
support a band. There is talent here
and plenty of it, but just for want of
financial backing, we are lacking in
the way of a good band If a band
when organized has to depend on con-
certs and entertainments or voluntary
contributions for support, the members
are often out of porket to keep up run-
ning expenses. Most everyone of our
citizens would like to see a good hand
here and we do not believe they would
condemn our council if $100 were ap-
propriated for that purpose What say
von, fellow citizens, shall we have a
band?

Satt Death.
An exceedingly sad and sudden
death occurred here early Sunday
morning last, when Humphrey Vosper,
a well andfavorably known citizen
was called from our midst, at the age
of 43 years, 6 months and 25 days.
Deceased had been a cripple and snf-
ferer' for years from rheumatism, but
was in usual hoalth on Saturday and
on that evening transplanted a num-
ber cabbage plants, little thinking, no
doubt, that the cold hand of death
would soon be laid upon him—in fact
he appeared. to be particularly pP P Y b brigh
t
and active that day and the remark
was made by one of the family to that
effect. However it has been justly
said "In the midst of life we are '' 'in
death," which is truly verified in the
death of our departed friend. He re-
tired at his usual hour that evening,
expressing no remarks of ill health,
but at half -past one the household was
disturbed, he was seized with a severe
attack of pains and vomiting, speak.
it,dbut few words and after saying "I
am going" passed away in a few
minutes. He was an upright man and
high in the esteem of his acquaintances
and deep in the affection of his faintly
connection and Mende. His funeral
took place on Tuesday and was' largely
attended. We sympathize with the
bereaved'fawlya

Strong soap -suds in which a little
coal oil has been poured is said to de-
stroy the oyster -shell bark louse which
iufests the orchards of this district. It
should be applied where possible with

are sprayed the solution will kill any
of the insects which it reaches: ,
Here's Something New.
The "green goods" dealers have dis-
covered a new way of disposing of
their worthless stuff. Frank Hohlbein,
of Dashwood, Ont., buyer for the On-
tario Book Company, Toronto, made
the acquaintance of "a very preposses--
ingayoung woman" on Saturday night.
"She"escorted him to a room some-
where in the neighborhood of Pearl
street, Toronto, where Mr. Hohlbein
discovered that his "mash" was a man
in disguise. The visitor was shown a
bundle of "the stuff," and told that it
would be given him at the rate of 25
per cent. of its face value. Mr. Rohl•
bein had but a very sme' i amount of
change, and told his entertaine~ so. As
a result he was allowed to depart in
peace, with his change still on his per-
son. The matter was reported to the
detectives, but as Mr. Hohlbein could
not locate the rooms, it is probable that
the operator will not be caught until
he tries to work the game on another
stranger. -Daily Empire.
