the closing up of cows at night, from
the hours of 7 o'clock p. in. till 6
o'clock a. m. of every day, after the

burnt, owners should be too pleased to
tie their cows in at night.

MARRIAGE LICENSES .-- Those who
wish to get spliced without some extra
trouble will need to burry up. An hn-
portant change bas been made in the
Law relating to marriage licenses,
which takes effect on the first of next
naorith. Hertofore it, his been neces-
sary for the intended groom only to
make affidavit to the necessary facts
before an issuer of marriage licenses,
but from August lst, both parties to
the intended marriage must personally
make affidavit. It is not necessary that
both parties should appear before the
issuer at the same time, but until each
has made affidavit the license cannot
be issued. The girls will have to pluck
up courage to comply with this uew
provision.

STATUTE LABOR :—This time of the
year one hears a great:deal abcut, and
experiences to no slight degree. the ef-
fects of our present system of statute
labor. As it exists now, our roads are
jest, spoilt for the rest of the summer,
by the application of gravel. The ques-
tion has often been asked why not ap-
ply the gravel inithe fall, not too early,
but in tuuet<) allow the snow to do the
packing anti Ievelling. But when we do
make a change for the better, why
not take a proper good step, and add
the cost to our taxes, and have it all in
the hands of the council. This, we
think, would be much more satisfact-
ory, and instead of doingl, 2 or 3 day's
work at this busy season, farmers
could have the much needed time at
their weeds or roots. Why continue an
olcl custom that apparently is in such
disfavor?

DEATH OF JOHN BUCKINGHAM.—
Word was received here yesterday, of
the death in San Francisco, Cal., of
John Buckingham, son of our esteem-
ed citizens, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel
Buckingham, which sad event occurr-
ed on Saturday, July 11th, after a brief
illness. On June 29th he was taken
suddenly ill with cramps in his bowels,
and his condition growing worse, was
on Wednesdayremovedfrom his home,
Ukiah, Mendocino, Co., to the hospital
in San Francisco. It was found be
was suffering from Appendicitis. An
operation was performed and the ap-
pendix removed. He passed through
the operation splendidly and very soon
was able to converse with his wife and
other friends. His condition improved
until Saturday, when, his bowels,
failing to perform their functions, he
grew worse, and suddenly and peace-
fully passed over to the great major-
ity. Mr. Buckingham was in his
thirty-third year, was a native of
Exeter and a graduate of THE Tmras
office. At the age of nineteen, he in
company with several other Exeter
boys, set out to battle with the -world,
going to the United States. After
travelling extensively and visiting
many centres in the Union, he finally
settled in Medocino City, Cal., where
for seven years he was associated with
W Hesserin the publication of the Men-
docino Beacon. In November, 1889,
he purchased the Ukiah Dispatch -De-
mocrat, of which he was editor and
proprietor at time of death. The
San Francisco Examiner, referring to
his death, says :—"For the past two
years he held the office of Collector of
Internal Revenue for the 4th District.
Mr.Buckinghain married a daughter of
Mart Baechtel, aprominent capitalist
of Little Lake. By his uniform
courtesy, engaging manners and de-
termined study, he made quite a start
towards a future goal of more than
ordinary prominence. He w'as an
ardent and d.evoted disciple of his party
and interested in all that advanced
his chosen place of residence. His un-
timely death has caused a thrill of
sorrow and regret throughout his
extended cis le
c of friends.,, . It will
be remembered that h . Mr. and
Mrs. Buckingham visited his friends
in Exeter two years ago, and renewed
his old acquaintances, all of whom will
join the TIMES in expressions ofregret,
and extending to the bereaved ones
here a full measure of sympathy. Mr.
Buckingham was an exceptionally

PASSING Tun ORDEAL.—The candi-
dates for the high School entrance
and Public School leaving examina-
tions have done their work, and the
examining boards have reviewed
the papers. As is generally known,
the papers in both examinations are
prepared by the Education Depart-
ment, by High School inspectors, and
examiners appointed by the Minister
of Education. In this Nest Inspector-
ate there were eight centres for writ-
ing—Exeter, Zurich, Grand Bend,
Bayfield, Dungannon, St. Helens, Kin -
tail and Godericb, and the examiners
are Inspector Tom and Headmaster
Strang, ex -officio, Principal Halls as
representing the Public School board,
and Miss Pearce, of Dublin, 'for the
Separate school boards. It is expected
that hereafter the Public school leav-
ing examination, the more difficult
one, is to be substituted, with perhaps
some modifications, for the present
High School entrance examination, as
soon as the results of the present
changes in the former justify the
Education Department in adopting
this course. That was decided upon
in March last. At present the Public
school leaving examination admits the
successful pupil into the second form
in the High School.

J. P. Clarke.
Don't Sell too cheap.
Mr. A, McD. Allan, of Goderich,
gives the following as his views re-
garding prospective prices for the
appplecrop.
Fruit growers should hesitate before
selling their apple crop, especially the
hard varieties. The British crop is not
only a poor one in quality but will be
poorer than usual Among the Con-
tinental countries growing for the
British markets, France is now practi-
cally out of it, as the quality is infer-
ior. Holland has little over half a crop
and with unfavorable weather even
that is likely to be lessened. In all
these old neglected orchards in Europ-
ean countries (and most of them are
of this class) it is the experience that
windstorms do immense damage, the
fruit having so weak a hold of the
tree is blown of and all such becomes
cull stock. Altogether the outlook is
that our winter stock will all be
wanted. in Britain. Later reports
will be given so that our growers may
know what to look for. At present
the lowest price, should be $1 per
barrel for winter.

The TIMES' attention has recently
been directed to the fact that a new
bug, knownand described inWebster's
Unabridged as the Buffalo bug, has
found its way into Exeter, being dA -
finitely located here for the first timee"
this year. It is a small black bug of a
lively turn and will be found princi-
pally under woollen carpets, though it
occasionally exists in other surround-
ings, This despoiler of the house is ex-
tremely destructive, eating the carpets
so that they readily fall into shreds.
A citizen with whom a TIMES' repre-
sentative conversed on the subject
says he has no donbt but that they
will be found in almost every house
and that destruction invariably follows
in their train.
