A writer 'says whenever a horse driven by him has balked, lie has got out of his c at•riage, walked to the horses's forefoot, lifted '' it from the ground, and struck the shoo a few blows with a stone.

On Friday night last Stowe & , Co!s Uhcle Tom's Cabin " troupe gave one of the best renditions of the old and ever popular drama, that an . Exeter audience has had the pleasure of listen- ing to. If there is any part deserving of special mention e we would say -it was that of "Little Eva" and "Topsy," The former role was talten by a little tot of four years, whose acting was. splendid. The role of "Topsy" was not characterized by rude pantomime, which is often brought in by third-rate troupes. The 'Bible scene in which. Topsy is principal, is very effecting, so much so that many of the audience shed tears. Stowe & Co. have really a first-class troupe, and deserve better patronage than they heel [Friday night. 11.1=10001•101111.011 1.3461r#19.126.101{$.3.01119.131 Deputy -returning of icers+ in ' town will have to keep their eyes open when performing their work on election day, There will be the regular munlcipel ballot, the plebiscite ballot, and the house of refuge ballot.

La grippe is quite praveientin and around Exeter and many are seriously ill with the malady,' A nide°malinnant form of grip than any yet experienced is said to be on its march from Russia, and, as neither the tariff nor the rigors_ of winter can he expected to keep it out it may come in at any time. The plain ordinarygrip has played such havoc that it is already regarded as -a deadly visitor, but what will suffering• humanity do.when the greater evil sup- plants su -plants the less, Only the doctors can answer that question at professional rates.

Horse dealers express their, satisfac tion that the changing of the American duty on horses from 530 per head. to 20 per cent. ad volorem will benefit the horse dealers. The common horse will benefit the most because. under the Mc- Kinley tariff the shipping of poor to medium animals was practically pro- hibited, as $20 duty was charged on. a horse no matter whether it, was worth 550 or $500, Under the'. proposed change all classes of horses can be shipped. Anniversary `services. The' anniversary` services of the James Street Methodist Church on Sun- day, were in every particular a •grati fying suecess and very largely attend- ed. Dr. Pascoe, of St. Thomas, former- ly pastor, of the church, occupied the pulpit, both morning and evening and on each occasion delivered eloquent and impressive discourses. On Mon- day evening a splendid tea was served by the ladies of the church who fully sustained their reputation of supply- ing the good things necessary to make a hungry, person feel' happy. The evening „gas -exceedingly stormy' but did not preverit a goodly number from being present. Tea being dispensed with addresses' were delivered by Revs. C. Fletcher, J. S, Henderson, W. M, Martin, Wm, McDonagh, W. H. Butt and T. B, Coupland, with Rev. Jackson, the chair and a very pleasant and profitable evening was spent.' The. most laughable and amusing incident of the evening'transpired` while , the Rev. Mr Butt, of Centralia, was warm- ing up to his, work in delivering his address and was denouncing church members who are all the time roving from one church to another, when the Rev, Mr..Jackson rose up suddenly and interrupted 'Mr, Butt, with "Hold on now; don't get excited, just sit down," Rev.
