An early harvest is anticipated. The population of Exeter is 2,000. There is not a vacant house in town. The strawberry seasonis about oyer. The ruling price the past week was is cents per box. Several Exeterites took part in connection with the strawberry festi- val, in Kippen Tuesday evening. "The new post office on the Thames Road is known as "Thames Road" post office, with John Allison post- master. Gentlemen of refined taste chew the famous BEAVER Plug exclusively. Refuse cheap imitations. Sold by F. J. KruGEr and Panama Bnos. Messrs Muir & Manning, merchants, Kirkton, have made acompromise with their creditors at a rate on the dollar, and will resume business there. Richard Eacrett, of Brantford, who has been suffering of blood poisoning, is not much improved in health. The _ poisoning was caused by paint get- ting into a cut on his hand. It was stated last week that Rev. Mr. Newton of Strathroy had been ap- pointed rector of thechurchofEngland parish here. The people of Strathroy would not permit his removal, hence another selection will have to be made. t Unlike the bnlio used in the Ontario elections, the Dominion ballot, which the electors will be called on to mark on June 23rd, is absolutely secret. It is utterly' impossible for anyone but the voter himself to tell how he has voted. Enjoyable in every respect was the cttrawberry festival held Friday night, under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid Society, of Main street Methodist church, in the lecture room. There 'was a good attendance, strawberries and cream were served in abundance, and ' the musical and literary pro- tramme was carried out in a manner hat left nothing to be desired. The astor, H. W. Locke, presided, and eliyered a brief introductory address, The Royal Templars attended Dis- trict meeting at Sodom yesterday. TheExeteriacrosse team go to Park- hill to -day to play a game with the team of that town. The Exeter football team will play at Kirkton Friday evening with a team of that village. Messrs. L. Day and N D. Hurdon are attending the Anglican Synod in London this week. Rev. Lee, of Princeton, occupied the pulpit in the Txivitt Memorial church on Sunday last, and administered sacrament.

Remove campaign u to , b t nstind other ensigns from the lapel of your coat. The penalty for wearing such is $100; or in default three months in jail. The saleof the effects of the late Rich- ard Manning took place Saturday. Everything was sold excepting the real estate which is now being offered. Richard Delbridge, of Usborne, left on our table Mondays a strawberry, picked from a patch orchis farm, which measured nineinchen.4n elrenmffle'nce. It would nearly fill a large cup. 0. W. Dunlop, constable, of Sea - forth, who recently captured a horse thief, in the person of young Brennen, in St. Thomas last spring, received $100 from the County last week. The High School pupils who pro- pose writing for the Junior Leaving Examinations are not overly well pleased at the increase in the fee from $a to $7 which has been imposed by the Educational Department. The Lucan and Exeter baseball teams played a match here last week. The score stood 10 to 7 in favor of Lucan. The game was one of the best played in Exeter for some time and good playing was performed by both teams. The Mitchell and Exeter lacrosse teams played a game here on Friday last, resulting in a score of 1 to 0 in favor of the former. Some excellent playing was done, especially by Mr. Vincent of the Exeter team, in goal work. From Tuesday the 16th, until the 15th of April next, anglers may take adult fish of the different species of bass. It must be remembered that all small fish should be carefully returned to the water or abig fine and costs will be the result. The wind being incapable of sup- plying sufficient power to operate the corporation pump, a horse power and extra pump will be employed hereafter. Thus far this year Main St. has been poorly watered; no fault of the con- tractor, but for the want of water. When the Presbyterian General As- semblssnet the report on Sabbath schools was discussed. One thousand seven hundred and ninety-five out of 2,126 schools reported a total attend- ance of 147,9355, and the sum of $14,841 subscribed to their support. The report in the city papers con- cerning the collapse cif the platform on which the speakers who spoke at the Tupper demonstration, here, stood, is vague and untrue. They stood on the band stand which is strong enough to hold twice the weight then upon it. At a meeting of the Synod in. Lon- don this week, Rev. Rural Dean Hod- gins' commissioners reported in re- gard. to Hensel], Staffa and Dublin, recommending that the arrangement remain as before. Adopted. A deput- ation from St. James', Biddulph, and Trinity, Lucan, was present, asking for reunion. The committee requested the bishop to appoint a commissioner to visit and report upon the *hole question. At the session of the Presbyterian General Assembly, inToronto last week, appointment to the second vacancy at Knox College, resulted in the appoint- ment of Dr. Ballantyne, of Ottawa, formerly of London, as professor of apologetics and church history at. Knox College. 3(r. Ballantyne is 35 years of age and:a son of Hon. Thos. Ballantyne, ex -Speaker of the Ontario Legislative assembly. He; is a nephew of James Ballantyne of Usborne.
