He had. just left the house, it being very dark, when he ran against a post and bruis- ed his nose badly. The Government purposes doing away with the large and small size postal cards and issuing a medium size instead. This is done in view of the almost untversal demand for the large size which causes a loss of revenue, At Middlesex Assizes on. Thursday last, Wilson and Harvey, the clerks employed by the bank of B. N. A at London, who embezzled $800 pleaded. guilty to the charge. They were re- leased on susuended sentence by giving bonds of $2,000 each to appear when called on. It has leaked out that tho Star Al- manac. of Montreal, is to be even larg- er and greater than last years, con- sisting of no less than four hundred and fifty pages.

While assisting Mr. John Green, traveller, of London, at unloading commercial trunks at the depot, his hand was un• fortunately caught between two of the heavy trunks with the above result.

The Los Angelos (Cal.) Herald of Sept. 80 chronicles the arriyaI in that eity of Mr. Louis Thorne, who was re- cently on a visit to Exeter, where he at one dine resided. It says:—"The mem bers of the carious local Ccurts of the Ancient Order of Foresters of America gage a very delightful reception last evening to Mr. Louis Thorne, of Los Angelos, who was recently elected Su- preme Chief Ranger of the Order. Sbortly after 7 o'clock the members of Courts Los Angelos, Olive, Fremont, East Side, Francaise and Columbus met, and headed by the Douglas band, dedresidence of r. Thorne proceeded to the M Th at the corner of Main and Sixteenth streets, where they serenaded the new- ly -elected officer, He was then shown to a carriage, and the party proceeded down- Main street to Spring, to the Temple block, and around Main street to the Hall of Court Los Angelos .at 1071 North Main street. The hall was tastefully decorated, and the party was received by a number of lady members of the various circles William Mead, of Court Los Angelos, acted as master of ceremonies and delivered the address of welcome. Err. Thorne replied in ap- propriate words, Grand Senior Beadle L. %finnamon welcomed the Supreme Chief in behalf of the. Grand Court. Othere addressed the meeting, and a general hand -shaking and informal gathering followed the exercises. The affair was entirely informal and troth ing but good cheer prevailed, It was; in feet; the largest gathering of poretn try ever held hi Los Angelos. Pearl Butler, the Ailsa Craig girl who has been missing for the past ten days in Detroit, was found on Monday night in company with her entices, Louis Arno. Pearl was dressed as a boy, and said she would never go back to her aunt's to liye, as they used to beat her. Arno, when arrested said he wished somebody would shoot him through the head. He is evident- ly a villain of the deepest dye, and en deavored to cover up his crime by. dressing• the girl as a boy and getting her hair cut short, Mr. Robert Sanders has received an ink photo of wood carving and sculp- ture exhibit at World's Fair, made by his friend Harry Hems, of Exeter Eng., The photo is of two most beautiful pieces of sculpture work representing our Saviour on the Cross. Mr. Sanders has no doubt had the extreme pleasure of viewing his friend's handwork ere this, as he left for Chicago last Satur- day, Mr. Hems is the same gentleman who visited Exeter some years ago, and was so delighted with his old home's young namesake, Wonderfully large loads of wheat have been marketed in our .. town of late. The .argent yet brought to the Exeter Grist Mill was that of Mr. W. H. Kestle on Friday last. It contained 110 bushels and 25 pounds and tested 64 lbs. to the bushel. The price re - 'calved was 60 eta., or a total $66.25 for the load. This is an immense load, but compares very unfavorably with the largely exaggerated report of our local totem; who in a previous issue says:— "Mr Chas. Harvey sold to W. Levett on Wednesday a load of wheat con- taining four hundred and thirty bush- els, or upwards of four tons. It was the largest load ever brought to Exet- er " When we went. to school 430 bushels equalled' 12 tons, 1800 lbs. )Roy Wanted ' A good smart boy wanted to learn printing. Apply at this office.

All wide awake busi- ness people are advertising now for the fall trade. Exeter's fast horses. At the Ailsa Craig races held in con- nection with the North Middlesex fair last week "Moll O." owned by Mr. W.T. Hawkshaw won 2nd money in the 2.35 trot This speaks much for the cult as he was in extremely fast company and without a doubt he will yet snake a mark that his owner will be proud of. In the "Farmers' Trot" "Roan Billy" owned by Mr, John Snell, took 2nd in a company of six. Little "Billy" is_ a stayer and is making rapid progress. Eat This Ont Mr. Jas. Sutherland, a well known creamery man, suggests the following: 3. quarts oil, 1 oz carbolic acid; mixed and 'swabbed 'on the afflicted parrs will prevent the horn fly from torturing cattle and give relief. No farmer should neglect this preventative and cure as the suffering which these little pests cause will naturally affect the feeding and milk. The above receipt has been tried and found to be the most effective discovery up to the present. . Cut this out and try the mixture on your cat- tle next summer. Canadian Winners. Roughly figural out the amount of money taken by Ontario cattle breeders at the World's Fair is nearly $5,000 with 129 animals, or a little under $40 a head. The largest amount, $2,225, went to the Shorthorns. in which class the prizes were doubled by the . Ameri- can Shorthorn Breeders' Association. Besides the money there were several medals and diplomas. In horses the prize winnings amounted to about $800 besides medals and diplomas, so that on the whole our breeders ought to be fairly well satisfied. Obituary. A rather sudden and unexpected death took place at the family resi- dence of Mr. George Rook, lot 4, con. 2, Usborne, on Saturday last. it being his beloved wife, Priscilla, at the, age of 46 -years, 6 months and 17 days. . De- ceased was seized with an acute at tack of inflammation of the stomach. a week previous to her death. and all that medical skill could afford was of. no avail. Her remains were •interred in the Eden cemetery on Monday. She leaves to mourn her demise a husband and six children—five girls and one boy—the latter being only five months old. Narrow Escape. On Saturday last while Mr. Michael Klump and son, of Stephen .tp., were unloading wood from a wagon at the Metropolitan Hotel, the son narrowly escaped being killed. It seems after removing the hinder part of the load the weight of the wood in front caused the rack to tilt forward unto the horses which caused them to run away wish the boy on top of the wood, The boy, in his perlious situation, clung to the stakes of the rack and as the fran- tic team dashed on towards the found- ry it was thought every moment that he would be dashed into eternity, but after being jumbledover a beap of old iron he was finally tossed on an old cultivator, not much the worse for his dangerous ride. Strange to say alt escaped with slight injury and the wagon without a break. Personal mention.

Two blushing, gushing young ladies of Exeter strolled in our sanctum re- cently and requested us to advertise for "two nice young men" who would be willing to correspond with them with a view to matrimony.
