The well at the town hall has practi- cally racticaally given out, and unless the noun - oil aril deeper or inake other satisfac- tory arrangements, the street -water- ing bids fair to cost the town a big penny this year, as hauling the water from the river is an expensive job.

Bicycle tires have been getting well dried out during the term of drought, Heat and light deteriorate rubber, and the trouble with the tires of most riders, who complain of their getting checked and cracked, is that they do not get moisture and maul enough.

It is said that an occasional sponging with water, to which a little oornmon soda has been added is an excellent thing to keep thein soft and make thein last.

The excursion along this line on Saturday under the auspices of the Indepen- dent Order of Foresters, of Wingbam, was very poorly patronized. When the train reached Exeter it had on board about 250 passengers, Exeter added 50, and the stations to the south about 100, so that in all there were about 400 persons on board. Former years this annual excursion carried 1500 passengers or more. The falling off this year is due no doubt to the early season, cold weather, and the excursion to Guelph on Tuesday,which combined detracted from this hither- to popular excursion. Those who went report having a good time. A SERIOUS RUNG AY.—Tuesday at noon, while •people were wending their way home to dine, those on Main street were suddenly thrown in- to a state of confusion, by a runaway horse taking possession of the west sidewalk. While' two young men, Czar Rollins and Harold Collins, were driving Dr. Rollins' horse to the office, the animal, which was high spirited and difficult to control, ran away im- mediately upon leaving the stable. When Main street was reached the boys endeavored to guide the horse across the street and continue in a straight course, but the beast being accustomed to turning at this corner, made ,the attempt to again "do so and .ran .onto the side walk"• Here the :'buggy collided with an old lamp post and lost a wheel. The horse then turned south along the pavement and. galloped uutdly down street, here and there breaking a post and colliding with other obstructions, until it reach- ed the Central hotel, where a pile of traveller's trunks threw the horse against a large post, knocking the horse down and throwing the boys out .of the buggy. The horse was soon re- leased from its tangled position, but was unable to stand alone, having broken one pin bone and dislocated the hipoint, besides sustaining wounds and infernal injuries. It was killed at once to relieve it of its suffer- ing. The scene was a most exciting one; two boys sitting in the buggy clingingto each other, expecting at every moment to be thrown against some obstacle and seriously injured or killed, while the clatter of the horses' feet on the pavement, and the screaming of ladies in seeking nearest refuge, all mingled to make things in- teresting for a, time. A bicycle be- longing to R. 0. 0. Tremaine,standing in front of O'Neil's banit,was caught by one of the wheels and thrown thirty. feet into the air and into the centre. ' of the street, breaking and twisting it seriously out of shape. The buggy was also badly wrecked, while the boys miraculously escaped a single scratch. The horse was one of the hest in town, and valued by the doctor at over $200. The Orangeruen of North Perth have decided to walk this year in Palmer- ston.

People who are annoyed by flies should remember that clusters of the fragrant clover, which grow abundant ly by nearly every roadside, if hung in the room and left to dry and shed its faint fragrant perfume through the air, will drive away more flies than sticky saucers of molasses and other fly -trays and fly -paper can ever col- left. -..New York 'Tribune.
