David Spicer was awakened by a smothering sensation, and reached the store in time to avert a serious conflagrat- ion. The show rooms was all ablaze, and before the fire could be extinguish- ed some twenty valuable hats were totally destroyed by fire. Consider- able laces and silk were stolen.

A NARROW ESCAPE. -On July 1st, a Miss Glenn, of the north boundary, Usborne, bad an experience in Exeter, which she will not soon forget, and au accident which might have terminated seriously. She was riding a bicycle down Main street, and when opposite T. B. Carling's residence an infuriated cow, which was being driven to the slaughter by the butcher, rushed at the wheel, and taking it on her horns carried bike and rider into the ditch, breaking the wheel and tearing Miss Glenn's skirt off. The animal then dropped into the ditch as though un- conscious, where it was at once killed. Miss Glenn was rescued from her perilous position by several persons who happened along at the time. see . A COMMS D:�nLE ACT. -The council of the township of Usborne, have taken a commendable step in offering to pay half the cost of e wire fence along the west side of the London road for a mile and a quarter north of Exeter, - that portion of the road which fills with snow during the storms of winter -providing the Council of lay township contribute a like sawn, the farmers interested to erect the fence. Hay Council, in their wisdom, will doubtless meet their Us - borne friends in the matter, as the st will be light, and cause to be uilt a fence that will ensure good roads to the travelling public and the farmers along the route. This piece of road during winter becomes very bad, and the cost to the townships each year for broken plows and scrapers amounts to more than cost of wire. In the interests of the public we hope the scheme can be effected. BICYCLES AS BAGGAGE. -As the .re - stilt re_ salt of the agitation against the.pay inent of railway charges on bicycles, the railway companies have issued a new tariff which considerably reduces the cost as to the transportation of wheels.

The papers for the promotion examinations seemed satis- factory to both teachers and pupils. The entrance papers were also satis- factory, but as a whole required more definite knowledge than some of the recent entrance examinations. The history, grammar and hygiene papers particularly' were considered by some a little stiff for entrance work. Many thought they required techniealknow- ledge soniewhatebeyond the acquire- ments of the average candidate. J. P. CLARK' W. J.

The benefit derived from an adver- tisement dver tisement depends altogether upon the number of persons who read it. To reach the greatest number of readers at the least possible expense,, is to 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 printed in town. There is not a doubt about that, but if you want to reach the people in their homes, newspaper advertising is the only successful way, To get the best results use the paper with the largest circulation, and thegreatest aino unt 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 witltacirculation o2000 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 one covers the ground. TIrn 'TIMES is read by more people in Exeter, Usborne, Stephen, Hay, the northern part of Biddulph and McGillivray than all other county papers combined, and au advertise- ment placed in it will be found the most effectual way in which to reach II the people. a _.. • M.
