During the day a large quantity of meat had been smoked at the Exeter Packing House and in the evening several pieces were belt in the smoke house at the rear of the main building. By some means the building caught fit, which was noticed through between two building' by a passerby who gave the alarm. A crowd of people were soon on the spot and extinguished the fire with the aid of buckets, before the engines arrived: Rad the fire not been noticed it large stable belonging to James Pickard would have caught, in which event the large packing house would have been badly damaged, if not burned. Hymeneal Laat week we made brief mention of the marriage of Mies Alpha Essery and Mr. Luther Braund of Exeter.

The Fireman's Concert. On Wednesday evening of last week the people of Exeter were favored with the appearance in Drew's Opera House of the Misses Webling who were here under the auspices of the firemen of this town. The hall Wa3 well filled on account partly of the estimation -in which the firemen are held, and because the Weblings came to us with strong recommendations from the press of the civilized world. We can add that they upheld the reputation they -have won for themselves as performers of the highest order. It has been stated, how- ever, by some that the concert was in- ferior, but this no doubt is owing to their not being of an artistic nature, and ecould not grasp the drift of the acting. The concert was all that was olairned for it. The acting in the "Taming of the Shrew" was perfect, especially the part performed by Mies Lucy, and was alone worth the price of admission. We predict for the sisters a bright future. The pianist, Mise Kenriok, of Toronto, played with her old- time skill and her readerings were ap- preciated by all. Personals'''.
