Serious Accident, On Thursday last a serious accident happened to the 11 -year-old son of Jos. Kestle, of the 8th concession of Steph en. It appears that'whilesdriving the horse, which was attached tb the hay fork, the rope became' twisted, aruiiritl" this left leg above •tiro anlae, The .horse at tho.,?,,;no time took fright and Iran awvdy, the rope nearly severing the `lei -crushing both bones and leaving 'only about half of the flesh connecting the parts, and presented a pitiful sight. Medical aid was summoned and the tnjur.d limbattend'd to. Fears were entertained that the foot would have to be amputated, but there is hope now of saying the limb. James Sutton,a farmer, residing near Blandford stat on, is responsible for the. Iatest snake story. One of his horses had distemper and died. When the beast was cut gpen a live snake a foot and a half in' -length was found in its stomach It was a plump gartersnake, measuring fully an ingil through. We have seen 4 el'i beautiful flow- ers but neveF' • witnessed anything" more bet iul than a Hydrange, shown us•oy Mrs. John. Parsons. It is a map. daent'specie, bearing twenty large and elegant blossoms, one of Which, we wound judge, measures fully eighteen inches in circumference. The average number of blossoms on aplant of this kind:ns six, and rarely exceeds ten. It is not yet two years old. "On Thursday last a woman by the name of Elizabeth Whimater attempted to jump off the Chicago flyer between Georgetc wn :and Acton, the train going at the rate of 40 miles an hour. Her action was -observed by Mr. Robert Brydon, of this city, and one of the train hands,v ho prevented her. She is supposed to be insane, and was given into custody at Guelph. Constable Elliott has had charge of her ever since Her father fives in St. Mary's and her brother is astorekeeper in Aurora. The latter is expected to take her home.

This is the season of the year when some misguided advertisers cut down their space because business is dull. If advertisements are business bringers and they must the or merchants would not pay for them, the dull season is a good time to double•the space. It would be a poor locomotive engineer' who' let the steam pressure run down 'ort up grades. Shrewd,merchants are coming to see this, and when the people seem reluctant to buy, give then a double dose of urging, A picked nine of the Exeter baseball fraternity captained by W. T.

Distinguished Biniseif. Ernest Gidley, son of Mr. Samuel Gidley,owho left here some months ago to accept a position as stenographer in Winnipeg, distinguished himselt lin a game of ball played there on the 14th inst. From a column article in the Winnipeg Free Press, written on the game, we take the following:—"The credit of winning the game must in •a great measure be given to the nation- al fielders.. Their clean pick-ups and clever stopping denotes constant practice. Gidley, at centre field, raked in everything that came in his way and had no less than four put outs' to his credit, all of then•difticult catches * "* * A two base hit by Gidley was the feature of the game." Thus it will ee seen that "Ern" is one of the active lights and deserves praise. rst er,;, on: Fol~, ces • 4 Cans APPLsS 25 cents. 4 Cans pumpos do (75 centr per dozen.)

Dr. Rollins, Reeve, returned yester- day from Waterloo and Berlin, where he had been delivering our debentures to the Ontario Mutual Life Assurance Co. He obtained a price for them bet- ter by $55,00 than anticipated by the Council. For the $10:000 debentures he obtained $10.495 and '$70 accrued interest. He and the Treasurer at once paid off our matured debentures and interest amounting to $10:040 and deposited $525 at interest in the Molson Bank. This is a successful financial arrangement, For 20 years past the town paid $600 a year for Railway in- terest, leaving the debt still due. Un- der the now arrangement the town will pay $802 42 per year for 20 years and the old debt will be paid, and the town' gets $495.00 into the bargain. Narrow Escape. Chambers, o r. R.

A correspondent the other day asked a question to which the following from the Municipal World is an answer:— "After statute labor and road repairs have been completed in a municipali- ty, complaint is often made to the coun- cil that approaches to houses and farm gates have been removed. These com• plaints are generally accompanied by an application to haye a new approach which generally takes the form of a eulyert or tile: Municipal councils are not liable for building approaches to private property' over ditches which are necessary to drain the highway. A man is no more entitled to a small box culvert if his property fronts on a highway with ordinary ditches than a man who has a spring creek running along the highway in front of hisfarm is entitled to a bridge." It is with regret we pen the sad death of Elizabeth (beloved wife of 'Mr. Wm. Hoskin), who died at the family residence, Exeter North, yesterday (Wed.) at the age of 62 years and 5 months. Deceased had been ailing for over two years with a complication of diseases, and during that time suffer- ed much intense pain. Last winter she was taken - much worse and was for many days not expected to recover, but Providence willed it otherwise and led her friends to ` look forward with some degree of confidence to her re- covery. But it was only temporary, the nature of her complaint was such that'it was almost impossible for her to recover, so she passed away at the time stated above. She loaves a hue - band and grown-up family of eleven eight boys and three girls—to mourn her demise. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the entire community in this their irretrievable loss. She will be buried in the Exeter cemetery to -morrow (Friday) at 2.30 p.m. What might have proved a. serious and fatal accident happened on the premises of Mr. Rich. Gould on Monday, last. It appears Olive his seven -year- old daughter and Willie, the four-year' old son of Wm. Creech were playing beside a pile of lumber and by some means the' whole thing which was very shaky toppled on them. The screams and piteous cries of little 011ie attrac- ted the attention of Miss Emily Gould who rendered timely assistance and ex- tricated them from their perilous pre- dicament. No doubt if the unfortun- ate little creatures had not been re- leased immediately they would have perished. Little 011ie was covered to Willie was completely her waist and W p 5 out of sight with two or three heavy. boards resting heavily on his face unconscious -lie"was ' When'taken o ut� and remained so for some time, sorrowfml Death On Monday morning of this week as Mr. Eber S Hogarth, wife and baby,— a bright little fellow of three months— were driving from Seaforth to Exeter, the horse,;a spirited ono, became some- what fractious about Kippen and en- gaged the whole attention of Mr: Ho- garth in managing him and, as it will be remembered, the morning was re- markably cool. the baby µwas covered up,morecarefully than 'usual in order to shield him from the Strong wind blowing. This with the feet that Mrs. Hogarth was somewhat nervous on ac- cottint ,of the actions of the horse, natur- ally hugged the little fellow still more closely to her in her anxiety to pro- tect him ro-tecthim accounts for the fact that he was not peeped at sooner, Tho parents thinking all the while that he' was sweetly sleeping, which preyed ten true, for when they looked at hire' about half way between Hensall and Exeter they wets horified to find his face white in the sleep that knows no waking: Mr, Ho'arth took immediate measures to restore respiration but failing drove with all speed to Dr. Brownings, who.labored for about an hour with no avail. The sad event is a terrible blow to the afflicted parents and they have the kindest sympathy of `their many friends in their sorrow. The funeral was private, only near relatives attending.
