It is the best method to remove a por- tion of the limb several inches below the excresence, and paint the part with turpentine or linseed oil. Burn the prunings so that the disease may not spread to other trees, as black knot is infections. • Every gardener who allows black knot to remain on his trees, leaves himself liable to a fine of not less than $5 nor more than $20 for every case of neglect. Every infor- mation laid against aperson • for neglect in this way, may be treated the same as any other offence. WHITNEY Coatixo.-J. P. 'Whitney, 31. P.

Fran ENc1\E.-steam fire engine, manufactured by the Waterous engine works, arrived in town yester- day, and was tested. The engine has been purchased by the Council on con- dition that the L ulecvriters Associ- ation reduce the insurance rates, which were recently increased in Exe- ter some 20 per cent., thus placing the rate back to the class which former- ly applied to Exeter. The increased rate of insurance'which is an im- position, position, means considerably to the citizens of Exeter, and in ten years would amount to considerable more than the cost of the engine. If pur- chasing the engine will not guarantee the desired reduction, the deal will be declared off. The price of the engine with, 2,100 feet of hose is $2,000, payable in ten years with five per cent. interest. THE WHEEL. -Don't ride a hent crank further than the first repair shop. Don't jump curbstones because horses race in steeplechases. Don't ride at full speed over street crossings,. rats and depressions in the road.` Don't let the tires become so deflated that you can feel the jolts as the rhn strikes the pavement. Don't let the chain sag perceptibly either on the top or the bottom. It puts it under a constant strain that soon wears it out. Don't fail to inspect every bolt and nut at least once during the week. They wear loose and the machine is easily racked and strained if they are not perfectly adjusted. Don't pour a gill of oil into the bearings as often as you start for a ride of five miles. A ttle oil once a week is enough for any bicycle, and some need oiling but once a month. Don't skip the teeth of the sprocket when you clean other parts of the bicycle. The grit that accumulatesh at t oseDints is enough to wear out the best chain ever made. Don't take chances on a loose saddle. Riders have been injured for life by trusting that good luck would pull them through with improper saddle fastenings. One upset might mean the everlasting smashup of the wheel even if the owner was not injured. t THEIR BUGGIES t OLtaDED.-Mr and Mrs. Chas. Hooper, of Blanshard, t nd Mr. Roht. Hicks, of Elimville, ad. an experience recently that none Of them would care to repeat and which miraculously ended in no one being seriously hurt. Their buggies lollided in the dark about 2t miles east of Exeter. The sh efts of Mr. Hicks :buggy caught and stripped the par ness off Mr. Hooper's colt, taking him right out of the shafts and whirling 'him about with his head facing the buggy. Both drivers were thrown out, Mr. Hooper's foot catching in the wheel as he tell. As the colt sprang from the position the collision placed him, the fact that his head faced the buggy peeled the collar over his head and left hire free, He daslledoff down the road, pulling up in Mr. Hick's stable.YaHad he not miraculously been freed ftem buggy and harness Mr. Hooper would have been dragged and Mrs. Hooper thrown out • and both probably killed. On Mr. Hooper's recovering himself he beard Mr. Hicks groaning on the roadside where he had been throwct$is• orse had jumped the fence into t'11 'IT d- and ;getaway and the buggy lay upside down in the field with both shafts l broken off and standing in the ground., Both men were badly shaken up . and ;bruised, but not seriously hurt. Mrs. Hooper was left sitting in the buggy. �. R. S. Lang informs the TIMES tha�t already this year he has received over three ear loads of Massey -Harris machinery, besides large consignments of other goods from the various firms for which he is agent.

John Latta, of Chiselhurst, died on Sunday. Deceased had been ill, but was on the nencl, when a reverse set in, and soon he expired. The news was a shock to the comnnmity. • He was an old resident of the neighbor- hood, and a formerxesident of London. and was highly respected. He was in his 57th year. On Wednesday, George, the two- year-old son of W. Zinger, of the Metropolitan hotel, met with an ac- cident which might have resulted in death. R. S. Lang's men were en- gaged putting a hay loader together and had one end propped. Unnoticed the child disturbed the prop which al- lowed the heavy weight of the imple- ment to fall upon the little one, crush- ing it to the ground, and cutting a gash in its forehead extending from temple to temple. The wound was tstitched togother and the little one is tdoing nicely. A flag floated at half-mast over the IMolsons Bank this week, in respect of !the late President, Mr. Molson, who 'dled in Montreal on Saturday. The uneral took place on Monday, the bodybeinglsenttoBoston, and according ;to his directions, it was cremated and the ashes returned to Montreal for burial. The deceaa sec. inherited his :father's brewery , and his interest in ;the Molson's Bank. He was'a director 'iof the bank for 32 years,:21 yeaas vice- president and the past nine years ;president.

Csii at the The benefit derived from an adver- tisement depends altogether upon the number of persons who read it. To ' reach the greatest number of readers at the least possible expense, is it question that should be considered very carefully by business men. A thousand small bills printed in Tor- onto or London, and distributed in this section, would be just as effective as if the bill had been printzd in town, There is not a doubt about that, but if you want to reach the people in their hones, newspaper advertising is the only successful way. To get the best results use the paper with the largest circulation, and thegreatest amount of local news. Circulation is the proper basis upon which prices should be fixed. If a newspaper with a. circulation of 2,000 charges $100 per year, then one withaeireulation of600 would be entitl- ed to $30. An advertiser should take these facts into careful consideration, when making contracts. Another fre- quent loss to advertisers is in the use of several.] papers when 0110 covers the ground. 'TIE Trams is read by more people in Exeter, Usborne, Stephen, Ilay, the northern part of Biddulph and McGillivray than sill other county papers combined, and au advertise- ment placed in it will be found the most effectual way in which to reach the people. Mrs. N. Nestle of Hamilton, is visit- ing friends in and around Exeter. Vegetation is somewhat retarded owing to the continued cold weather. I. R.
