FIRE ALARM. -The fire alarm was sounded Saturday morning, but the engine was not brought into execut- ion. The scene of the fire was the re- sidence of John Blatchford. It ap- pears Mr. Blatchford's young son had been playing with fire crackers, and some kindling in a svoodhox igniting, set fire to the woodshed. The fire was extinguished before serious damage was done. CINEM:ITOGRAPHE.-TWO good houses greeted this wonderful exhibition on Monday and Tuesday this week. While the demonstration of the ability to ze- produce moving scenes was exhibited, the pictures were not so clear orsteady as the exhibition some time ago. This may not be wondered at when it is known that while looking at a scene the audience see over 22distiact photo- graphs in a second, so that in a picture lasting three minutes nearly 4,000 photographs would be exposed, A Goon SERMON. -At the Union Thanksgiving sevices, in James street church on Thursday morning last, Rev. Charles Smith delivered a beauti- ful and seasonable sermon on “David's Thanksgiving Song." The reverend gentleman's exposition was much ap- preciated in all its details, and his strictures on Mr. Rudyard Kipling's characterization of our Dominion, as : •"rhe Lady„of the Snows," left roost to say very little more on the smatter. The picturesque, but gentle satire in which he indulged in that connection, was however only a sample excellence of the whole sermon from its A to its G. It is worthy of publication, and but for the pressure on our adver- tising cohunns we would place it before our readers. UNADULTERATED GALL. - A town contemporary appears to be very much agitated because the advertising public of this vicinity, and in general, have fully satisfied themselves that Tun TRIES, going, as it does, into nearly all the homes of the town and district, is the only paper that it is worth while to advertise in. It excites itself into a frantic state of mind, and, although in one sentence, admitting that THE TIMES has double its circulation, in the next clause claims its circulation is about as large as that of TIHE TIMES. Every person who knows anything of the standing of the two papers, is well -aware that this claim is pure, un- adulterated gall. It is something like a western story. Out in Kansas or Nebraska a hank had "busted." The banker pretty well-known to be a "sharper," called a meeting of his creditors, and, after laying a patch- ed up statement of his affairs be- fore them, Ile went on to ex- press the greatest sorrow for the suffering creditors. In concluding he said :-"I feel so very much distressed about this affair that I would make any possible sacrifice to re-imburse them for their losses. If it would re- pay thein. I would even consent to have my Life taken and my body dis- tributed amongst them." Such an ex- hibition of nerve staggered the credi- tors. but finally one old farmer man- aged to get on his feet, and, pointing to the delinquent humbug, gasped :- "Say, when that 'ere body o'yourn is distributed I speak for the gall." So with the sheet down -town. Its "gall" is its fortune. EXETER NORTH NOTES. -Jolla Mc- Callum is confined to his room through illness. Rheumatism is the cause. - Mr. and Miss Hoffman, of Crediton, were guests at Mr. Williams' on Sun- day. -Leonard McTaggart is circul- ating a petition among the residents of the North end, which seeks the separation of that portion of the vil- lage from the river northward, from the corporation of Exeter. The scheme is not meeting with much favor. Although we get little from the corporation it is considered better from several standpoints, to remain as we are. -The cold weather has brought with it the usual, number of wood theives, ancl many woodpiles in this section have been seriously depleted during the wee siva' hours of the past week. -Thos. Hatter, jr., was taken before Squire Snell on Friday last, on a charge of assaulting his mother. He was placed in the lock-up over night, but released next morning and given a week to leave town ; failing to com- ply, Cxoderich jail or the Reformatory will be the alternative. -Miss Alma Brooks pleasantly entertained a num- ber of her young friends on .Thanks- giving. afternoon. -Wm. . Bawden's name is favorably mentioned in con- nection with - the Reeveship of Exe- ter. The names of John Taylor, T. B. Carling and the present incumbent, A. Q. Bobier, are also mentioned. -The name of R. S. Lang is connected with the contest for councillors. -Louisa Russell, aged six years, daughter of David Russell, is very ill with German measles, and ` not expected to recov- er.

The Marine Band, said to be the Salvation Army's finest musical aggre- gation in Canada, visited the town Saturday and after playing upon the street midday and evening gave an en- tertainment in the Town Hall, where a large number gathered to listen to the really excellent band music. They also conducted service in James street church Sunday morning. The Marines number eleyen, four of whom are lassies. It is said that a woman preacher in a church in Brantford, during the delivery of a strong sermon on purity, suddenly drew back the hymn book and said she would hit the' man who was untruthful to his wife, and as the story goes, every man in the front pews dodged. Was this a confession of gilt ? Certainly not. These men. were perfectly aware of the reckless uncertainty with which a woman throws anything.
