A Plague of moths. Probably few households about town but have, in the past two weeks, pas- sed through an experience similiar to that here described by a• little miss of 12 summers. The abundance and per- sistence of these moths has been a plague almost, and the picture of the little writer is not overdrawn One night I came home from a game of cro- quet Only to enter a terrible fray, And what was going on in our peaceful house- hold, But a flight with the moths, a massacre bold. When I entered the house, there on the wait, On table, an chairs, on carpet and all. There was nothing to see but these horrible things Flying about loudly flapping their wings And motherans•A —• With a broom ana a stick, Were goinreat those moths like a thousand of brick. When they had finished them !here, up the tairs they did start, Thinking all was over, but, bless my heart! There at the turn were about two hundred more, So again could be heard a din and a roar. As clash! clang! hammer hammer! clang I clash! Thosemoths were turned to a powdery mash; Then of the moths having no more dread, 'We all went p eaoefully to bed.

If the wheat generally turns out half as well as a sample brought to this office last week from the farm of Mr. Joseph Gill, Hay township, the farming com- munity will have nothing to fear. The straw was long, the head large and well filled with a large plump grain. Recently the owner of a side show and a merry go round were in town to make arrangements for pitching their respective canvas here. The town council fixed a fee which was considered too large and the people missed the amusement. The town, howeyer, as a whole, is considerably better off by their remaining away. Wm. Penhale, who at the sal.e purchased the Willis farm, but who afterwards re linquished his claim on payment of a sum for his trouble, has purchased the Carling farm, on which he has resided for years. It contains 100 acres and he paid 35,500 for it: He will erect a new house thereon this summer as well as make other repairs. The first brick in the construction of the new Methodist church was laid on Tuesday, amid quite a number of spec- tators. The corner stone will be laid with ceremony on Tuesday of next week, July 911a. Among those present will be several past pastora of Main et church, besides the Methodist clergy of Hensel', Elimville and Centralia,. Many news items that would be of in; tereat to the readers of a local nersrepaper, never appear in the paper for the good reason that the editor knows nothing of them. If you have friends visiting you, if you know of any other interesting item of news, do not hesitate to stop the editor, whenever you may meet him, and tell him of it. Mr. Wm. Bawden, who but recently acquired the Willis farm adjoining the eastern boundary of the village,has already sold the same (leas ten acres which he reeently sold to Mr. John MoInnis for 11,1090) to Mr.R.Elworthy from near Lon- don for a handsume. sum. Ho takes possession in the fall, Mr, Willis taking off the present crop. Complaints are heard from parents who deplore the arrangement which forces hard working scholars to wait until the vacation is over to know whether they succeeded or failed in the closing examinations of the preceding term.

J., the trial Judge, itt so far as it waa in favor of plaintiffs, in an action upon a five insurance policy covering both building nad land and chattels containei n tins buildings. The trial Judge held that the policy was vitiated as to the build- ings by reason of a conv.eyance of the land to the plaintiff by his father, to whom the policy had issued, and a re- conveyance by the on to the father without notice to the defendants. The appellants contended that Elie policy was void as to the chattels also by reason of the elienatioa of the land. The plaintiff also appealed from the judgment upon the ground that he was ' entitled to succeed as to the buildings also. Defendants' appeal allowed with costs and action dismissed without costs. Plaintiff s appeal dismissed with costs. The Township Roads.

Methodism in Exeter dates hat* to the early pioneer days and as time has worn along, it has made "steady and healthy progress, until today, Exeter is noted in the different:Conferences as one of the most importatt centres. It was in the year 1856 that the first Methodist church was erected in Exeter, when the forests, filled with wild animals, covered ch,eg.ly this now beautiful and fertile Huron tract, It was known as the "little rad ohurchon the hill" and stood on the cor• ner oppositeMr. Geo Brook's. The prime movers in its erection have nearly all passed away, widow Brawn and Mr. M. Eacrett being about the only surviving members in town. And their description of the privations and difficulties encount- ered in reaching the church by winding paths through the thickets, beggars de-. cription. The corner stone was laid by Mrs. Collingwood, mother of Mrs. J. W. Broderick, town, Rev, Coil beiog the first officiating minister, while Rev. Mr. Doel was the first residing minister. Rev. Mr, Dignam was the first trayelling minister. Then came in succession,Reve.T.Edwards, B. Tucker, D. Clappieon snd Mr. Lund, the latter being the last preacher in the old C. M. Church and the first pastor in the late Blain street Methodist church, it having been erected in the year 1869. A sabbath school was organized in 1856 in the (March on the hill by the Methodists and Presbyterians, the union continuing until the Presbyterians erected a church in Prinneatown: Mr.Jes. Logie was Supt., while Mr John Brawn and wife, Mrs. Hennaford, Mrs Collingwood (Methodist) and Miss McLeod (Presbyterian) were among the first teachers. Upon the erection of Mein street church the old church was torn down. Main street edifice durieg the 26 years of its existense had to be enlarged at different times to accommodate the ever increasing congreg- ation, and until its destruction by fire on March 161h of this year, it had steadily advanced in membership and popularity. The following ministers have been station- ed at Main street in the order here given : Revs. Lund, J. W. Holmes, Geo. Mitch- ell, J. R. Gundy, G. N A. F. T.Dickaon, W. S. Pascoe, Jasper Wilson, W. Mc- Donagh and the present pastor, II W. Lock, to whose credit, in a measure, is due the rebuilding of the church now in course of erection. Two corner stones will he laid on Tudiday next at 2 o'cilock p tn., one by Be,: W. MeDonash. the other by Mrs. (Rev.) Locke. After the ceremony the assemblage will repair to the school park where a tea will be seryed and speeches delivered by a number of former pastors of the church, and resident and neighboring minieters. A splendid time iB ex , pected on Tuesday next. The new church will be of modern architect- ure, amphitheatre in style, and will contain a memorial window for Mr. and Mrs. Coiling Food, the promoters of the first Methodist church edifice in Exeter. It will be donated by their daughter, Mrs. J. W. Brod- eriek. Death of Wilt Dempsey. We regret exceedingly to announce the death of Mr. Willis:re Dempsey, which occurred at his father's residence, Andrew street, yesterday forenoon, after an illness of several months. Deceased was a son of Mr. .Andrew Dempsey, formerly of Usborne township, and was a printer. He was in his 26th year, and lentil a few years ago, when he was attacked several times with plenrisy,enjoyed excellent health. He was is graduate of Tne TIMES office and has held the position of foreman in offices in Wiarton, Toronto, Brandon Man.; and other places, and was well up in the art perservative. When forced to quit work he held a lucrative situation in Brandon, 'Man. Being possessed of an aesthetic taste, he was among the best job compositors in Ontario, while his literary abilities were above the average ; and had he lived he would also have made bis mark in the literary world. Of a kind and obliging disposition and an eyeu temperament he won friende where: eyer he went, and to be an enemy of Will Dempsey one would require to possess a novel nature. He had a kind word for everybody, and even to the last it:seemed his delight to entertain visitors by cracking original jokes, for which he was noted. He leaves a father, mother and seyeral sisters to mourn the loss of an only son and brother, and one_ who was particularly dear to them The funeral will take place on Friday, at :30 o'clock, forithe Exeter cemetery, mission work. A largely attended meeting of the W. F. M. S. took place at Goderich last week. The occasion was a visit from M70. Fletcher, president of the Huron Presby- terial Soelety which has a membership of 666. A Goderich exchange says : "Mrs. Pletcher is the wife of Rev.

Exeter followed with 59. towards which F. Elliot, Witohman and 3. Hyndman were the main conhibu- tors. London batted better in their second inning. In the second inning of Exeter, Maylor and J. H.
