DRANK PARIS GREEN.—A cow be- longing to David Russell, of Exeter North, drank a mixture of Paris Green and lime on Monday, and, after suffer- ing untold agony, died. The cow had roamed into someone's back yard, and from a pail in the yard drank this mixture, which bad been left there for application upon the potato vines. The animal became very obstreperous and raced. about the street in a wild manner, and as no one knew a cause for its actions the citizens were much aroused. The cow statin died. when a veterinary learned the cause. Thee beast was a good one and Mr. Russell's loss will be heavy. -SUDDEN Dn ra.—Yesterday (Wed- nesday) afternoonthe death of Mrs. Thomas Crews, of Exeter north, took place.

Dr. Browning was summoned, and al- though promptly at, the bedside, . life had left the body. The practical sym- pathy of ym-pathyof the entire community should go out to Mr. Crows, :vho;is himself not in robust health, and is left with the care of four young children. REBATE ON MARRIAGE FEES. —A Brantford clergyman,according to the Courier, received a $4 bill as a fee for making two loving hearts happy. and about three weeks after the wedding received a notefrom the newly -wedded groom, saying lie had forgotten to ask for the change from the $4 bill he had handed him ; would the gentleman kindly return it to him by letter. The minister replied, asking the gentleman to state what fee he proposed to allow and be would return the balance. A reply came back saying that' he was willing to allow the legal fee. The minister then sent 'him an account : Fee, s2- certificate 25c, and .a cheque for the balance, $1.75, on which he wrote, "Rebate on marriage fee." The cheque went through the bank this way. LACROSSE. The Exeter lacrosse team visited Parkhill on Tuesday last, and were defeated by the Parkhill team by a score :of 7-2. The game was a very rough one on the part of Parkhill, their actions from the com- mencement savoring of a shillalah contest rather than a lacrosse match. Several of the Exeter team were in- jured and had to retire from the field. A protest has been entered against the Parkhill team by the Exeter club, and it is likely the game will have to be fought over again. On Tuesday another game of the Western District of the C. L. A. was played on the Exeter grounds between the Exeter and St. Marys team, the home team winning by a score of 9-4. This was a game of lacrosse, both teams exhibit- ing a gentlemanly feeling towards one another and playing the game hroughout on scientific principles.

A., B. D.: Dear Pastorand brother,—In view of your approaching departure we feel that it .is fitting you should carry with you an expression of the deep regret with which your congregation views the severance of the ties that have eran 1 bound us together, as well as of the high esteem and love in which you and your excellent wife are held. Dur- ing the two years of your pastorate in the Glencoe Methodist Church you have shown untiring energy, both in and out of the pulpit. Your utterances have always been characterized by breadth and liberality of mind, for- bearance and Christian sympathy. All branches of church work have been stimulated to progress by your zeal, while special mention might be made of the great increase of interest and of members in the Epworth League through your special training and ability in this direction. Your genial presence will be greatly missed in our homes. Indeed, we feel that we are losing a necessary part of our social life in parting with yourself and Mrs. . Cobbledick. Your work under God's blessing, cannot fail to have a lasting influence, not only in our church births the community around, upon all who have listened to your able discourses or have enjoyed your acquaintance. The. conjunction of circuinstances thathave necessitated your removal is a natter of general and great reget. We part in the hope and prayer that you and your dear ones nlay be attended with God's best gifts both in things tem- poral and things spiritual. About 150 of the congregation were a g present and several' addresseswere given, all speaking in the highest terms of Mr. and Mrs. Cobbledick, and all present joined in "wishing them God speed in their new field of labor. i A quiet we ddin to ok place et East Lynn cottage, Grand Bend, on Mon - day, June 20th, the contracting parties being Joseph Gregg, of Dashwood, and.
