MissAddie Holland is visiting friends in Goderich this week. X. A. Straith visited at his home in Windsor over Sunday. The Entrance and Public School exams. will be held on June 28, 20 and 30. Dr. and Mrs. Amos are spending a few weekswith friends in McGilli- vray. Hon. Thos. Greenway, of. Manitoba, was in town on Ftiday, ,the guest .of Dr. Rollins. The new Weights and Measures Act declares that wherever potatoes are sold by the bag, such bag shall con- tain 80 pounds. The Sodom Public School children picniced with tbeirparentsand friends at the Bend on Friday, and report. havine had an enjoyable time. The Wheeling Gazette says that there is a certain variety of marigold which should find a place in the back garden of every cyclist. If the day is going to be fine, the flowers open up about seven o'clock in the morning, and close about three in the afternoon. But if the weather is going to be wet, they do not open at all. The knowing little marigold may save the observant cyclist tnany a wet jacket. and muddy wheel. Women and men on wheels should be absolutely equal in obedience to the rules of the roacl, Courteous deference and considerate politeness are due by mien to women whenever these ever- otisqualities can be exhibited without violating rules which ensure the safety of ever r. d .

They report a very pleasant outing. There will be apartial eclipse of the !noon, July 3, an annular eclipse of the sun July 18, a partial eclipse of the sun Dec.13, and a total eclipse of the moon Dec. 25. Some persons in town are said to be policy -holders in the defunct Massa- chusetts Benefit Life Association, and will realize very little on their invest- ments. The 33rd Huron Batt. went into camp at London on Tuesday. The Exeter company was under command of Capt. Rance, and presented a fine military appearance. Hon. Thos. Greenway was in town last week. Mr. Greenway, we learn, has been in Toronto for some time, at- tending a hospital for treatment for a cancerous growth. Rev. Mr. Steele, preached two inter- esting sermons in the Trivitb Memorial church on Sunday last. Next Sunday Rev. Mr. Sage, of Loudon, will preach in the same church. Some sneak thief last week stole a pair of guinea pigs belonging to W. Levitt, of Levitt's Fair. The thief is known, and if the animals are not re- turned the police will be asked to interview the part . P y The open season for bass colnmensed Thursday and extends to the 14th April in the following year, both days inclusive. The regulations are that bass are not to be taken with spears or grapnel hooks. When fish are under ten inches long they are to be returned to the water. The open sea- son for maskinonge or muscallonge pickerel commences on the 16th .Tune also, speckled trout from May 2nd to .April 14th. An exchange aptly remarks :—It, is becoming a question of which is to go School blackboards or children's eye- sight ? It should not be hard to decide which is of the most value. The ques- tion is becoming serious. Teachers, trustees,; parents and guardians should carefully consider the subject, and if observation justifies the contention that blackboards are a serious menace to the eyesight of the school genera- tion, then decidedsteps should he taken at once to abate the evil. Berbed wire fencing is out of place in a town. A child's eye was lately de - strayed by contact with one. It is also a means of cruelty to annuals in coun- try parts. In military operations,how ever, it is found useful where it can be employed. to check the foe. No Irving army could penetrate to an inclosure guarded by numerous lines of the aw- ful barbed wire fence placed at short distances apart, especially if the lines were arranged. so that, , they could be SEnxorrsz.-K ILL. --Word has been re- ceived here by Mrs. M. T. White, of the serious illness of her father, Mr. N. J. Clarke, of California, formerly clerk of the township of Osborne, and manager of the Usborne & Hibbert. Fire Insurance Co, Some weeks ago Mr. Clarke met with an accident while getting into his buggy,from the effects of which he has since been confined to his bed. 'DEMISE VETERANS' MEDALS.—An Ottawa despatch recently said: A militia general order has been. .issued providing for the distribution of medals to those engaged in the Fenian Raid of 1866. All applicants must submit their applications separately, and thosewho served in more than one campaign must submit an application for each. A declaration of service must be made before a justice of the peace by the ap- plicant, and also declaration of a com- rade who has knowledge of the appli- cant's service will be forwarded to the department. Only one medal will be issued to any individual. With each medal there will be a clasp. COUNTRYLOoES WELL.—Tile coun- try never looked better or inore prom- ising than it does just now. In other seasons at this time of the year some things have looked well, some moder- ately well and some more or less un- promising. This season everything looks promising. The pastures are good; ineadows are promising well; fall wheat is above the average ; spring grain is rank and promising; roots and potatoes have gone in in good shape; corn has come in evenly and strong nd every class and variety of fruit promises more than an average crop. What more could a highly favored people, with the ,grandest country on earth for an inheritance, desire than this?. If the harvest is as bountiful as the prospects now promise the present year will certainly be a year of plenty and must be to the people of Canada a year of great prosperity. WILL REMAIN IN ExuTEn.—The townspeople. and the farmiug com- munityespecially, will be pleased to learn that A. J. Rollins, late of the firm of the Rollins & Williams Milling Co., has decided to remain a citizen of Exeter, and that he will re-engage in the grain business, only on slight- ly different lines. On Saturdey last hepurehasecl the grain Warehouse of the estate of Dauncey & Brown, and as soon as the season commences in the fall will open the campaign with his characteristic energy and enter - rise. Mr. Rollins has also purchased. Mr. Dauncey's residence on Main sty, about 100 yards south of the market,, to which he will shortly move his family. Mr. Rollins, since his coining to Exeter some five or six. years ago,. has proved himself to be a public- spirited citizen, < and a friend of the farmer. His connection with the Exeter mill has brought him in touch with all the farmers within 12 miles around, and his honest and liberal dealings have won the confidence and respect of all with whom he has had business relations. May his past record be the precursor of bis future business career. A GOOD POINT FOR BUTTER M x- zN& :—The best point made at the farmers' institute meeting here the. other day was made by chairman W. Johnston in his summing up after the debate. He adduced from the figures and arguments advanced by the different sides in the debate that it cost just about as much to produce one pound of butter as three pounds of beef, and that the former at prevailing prices will net a profit of two cents more to the producer than the latter. "Now," said. Mr. Johnston, when I was engaged in raising beef there was no one concerned in the manu- facture of those three pounds of .pro- duce except the animal and myself. Since I started to send my cream to the butter factory, there are concern- ed in the manufacture of every pound of butter sixteen men, with sixteen teams, besides the men employed in the factory. And after each pound of butter has contributed its share to the support of sixteen or twenty men and their families, I have in my re- turns two cents more than I formerly got for three pounds of beef," Here is surely an economicproblem worthy the contemplation of a Jelin Stewart Mills or a Henry George. -Mitchell Recorder.
