hotel, Exeter, one of the best farm
gates ever placed before the public. It
is simple in construction, strong,
handsome and cheap, it can be adjust-
ed tosevora,llaositions iii a few seconds.
It is self-locking, and no animal can
open it. As a snow gate, it is very
convenient and can be raised and
lowered in a moment. It can also be
tilted to allow small stock to pass un-
der. No farmer should be without it,
and all should call and inspect it. Mr.
Pratt is offering territory for sale, and
we see no reason why a smart sales-
man should not make ready sales and
secure a good return.
LEARN TILE GERMAN LANGUAGE, -
Mr. Welker, of London, has started a
class in Exeter, and intends teaching

two lessons each weelfor three months,
and guarantees to teach the pupils how
to read,speak;understand the language
thoroughly. The first lesson was given
to a large class in the public school
building last evening,to be followed by
another lesson Friday evening. Mr,
Welker carries splendid testimonials,
and has decided. to give anyone a free
lesson as a trial. This is a rare'oppor-
tunity for those wishing to become
thoroughly acquainted with the Ger-
man language, (au essential acquire-
ment in this locality) to secure tuition
ata moderate cost. Class meets Tues-
day and Friday evenings of each week.
PEAT FtrEL Worms. --• Arthur G.
Ardagb. 0. E. has contracted with the
Canadian Peat Fuel Co:, to operate
works in this section, and to carry out
his plans will visit Exeter shortly to
secure information as to deposits of
peat or swamp muck, average depth
of muck, accessibility to bighway, the
character of growth on surface, the
price asked for the muck, etc. Any of
our readers who have peat or swamp
muck several feet in depth and two
feet below the surface, will find some-
thing decidedly to their advantage by
leaving a sample at TINES office. Mr.
Ardagh will be in Exeter in a few
weeks and will interview all whose
samples are sent in. Peat is used in-
stead of wood and coal and is Much
cheaper. The industry promises to
become an extensive one in Ontario,
and farmers having swamp muck on
their premises will find it profitable. by
leaving samples at this office.

who was present, was asked to sit as
acorresponding member. The in-

BITTEN BY A MAD DOG. -On Friday
afternoon last, Miss Nellie, the thirteen
year-old daughter of John Northcott,
of the 3rd. con.. Hay, was severely
bitten by a mad dog. The dog belong-
ed to the late Frederick Triebner, of
Stephen Townsbip,who died some:days
ago and had been wandering about in
the swamp. It had just left the swamp
and in passing over Mr. Northcott's
farm, lay in the straw stack. During
the afternoon Miss Nellie had oc-
casion to go to the barn, and noticing
the dog lying coiled in the straw,went
towards it, and was about to pat the
animal on the head when it snapped
at her, and seizing her by the leg, tore
the flesh in many places between, the
knee and ankle, exposing the bone.
Mrs. Nortbcott heard the:child's cries
and went to her rescue, the dog still
biting at her, and the mother's pre-
sence upon the scene only prevented
further injury, as the dog then cooly
left the farm. . Nellie was carried into
the house and was being cared for,
when Dr. Browning, the family phy-
sician, who was making a professional
call, luckily happened along. He took
in the situation, and at once cauterized
the wounds. The doctor had met the
dog leaving the farm and noticed its
strange actions. As soon as possible,
in company with George Geddis, he
set out in search of it, overtaking the
dog about half a mile from Mr. North-
cott's, and when passing the animal it
sprang at the doctor's horse and bit
it. The dog was followed and shot.
In the interval it had attacked a hog
belonging to John Northcott and a
dog of Wm. Northcott's. The horse
was cauterized and is being kept by
itself to await developments. The
injured girl was taken to the 'Pasteur
Institute, Chicago, on Monday.
It is stated that a stave factory is to
be started at the old saw mill, by a
Company, and that 75 hands will be
employed, The swamps near the town
will be utilized in the manufacture of
staves.
John Spackman visited Grand Bend
park last week. He intends building
more cottages and putting up a much
larger dining hall to meet the require-
ments of his many campers during the
next season.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Spicer on Mon-
day evening last celebrated their 50th
anniversary (Golden Wedding), wh'n
a few near relatives assembled to wi
them continued life and happines
They were the recipients of severalnic
presents,
There have been some sixty appli-
cations sent in to the Government for

partizanship,
