—Mr. Win. Wynn, of Brussels, has
purchased the Methodist Episcopal
Church property in that village, con-
sisting of a quarter of an acre of land,
brick church, and frame parsonage and
stable, the price Paid was oocl value for hisW 9n. n has got g

--.Doctors ItioDonald and Bethune,
of Wingham, recently performed a very
skilful surgical operation on the person
of Mrs. Charles F. Kent of that town.
For some time past Mrs. gent has been
suffering from a tumor on the thigh
near the hip. This the doctors cut out,
and the lady is rapidly recovering.
The tumor weighed about one pound.
-,--Petty thefts are becoming annoy-
ingly prevalent in and about Exeter
just now. A farmer a short distance
westof- the -village had a large gate
stolen from the front of his farm a few
evenings since. Two new axes were
stolen froma gentleman in North Ex-
eter. • . A fine ash tree was taken. from
Mr. Thomas May's bush the other
night. The thief chopped it down,
trimmed it,and then hauled it away
with a team.
—At the recent sale of the estate of
the late John Messer, of Wingham, all;
the property was sold. Mr. Wm. Mes-
ser bought the store at Bluevale for $400,
the Duff farm was sold to Wm. Epplett
for $3,500, the boundary farm to Rev.
J. McCartney for $2,100, the Bluevale
factory to Joseph Leech for $150, the
store in Wingham to T. A. Mills for
$2,800. The homestead at Bluevale
was bought in for the widow. The
-des realised in all cases were reason-
ably fair.
—A valuable addition has been made
to the thoroughbred,>tock of Ashfield,
by the purchase of a fine thoroughbred
bull, "Duke of Wellington," by Mr.
James H. Gardner, of the 10th conces-
sion. The animal was purchased at
Fergus from Messrs. J & W. MoDer-
mott, for the handsome sum of $140.
Three years ol:d, well proportioned, and
warranted to be a sure tock -getter, a
great improvement in he (polity of
stock in that section will, no doubt,
follow his importation.
--Mr. John Alexander,. an enter-
prising merchant of Brussels adopted
the plan of giving liberal prizes for the
best butter delivered at his store
throughout the season. There were
some six prizes awarded altogether for
as many differentlots of butter. This
butter was sent to Aberdeen and re -
alined good prices as the following fig-
ures show After paying all expenses
the first 17 tubs brought 25c. per lb ;
second, 15 tubs 23c. ; third lot, 22o. e
fourth lot 21c. ;_ fifth lot 20c. ; and sixth
lot 19c.
—A story comes from Howick that
when Chief Constable Currie, of God-
erich, went to that township to bring
down a bruiser named Rolph, interest-
ed parties endeavored to deter the chief
from searching too closely, by arranging
a trap door so that when he stepped_
upon it he was precipitated into a cel-
lar, out of which he had considerable
difficulty in getting. But the chief
constable had been "through the mill,"
and undeterred by the mishap, -continu-
ed his search with Perseverance, and
shortly after had the satisfaction of ar-
resting his man and bringing him safe ,
to Goderich jail.
—The Exeter correspondent of the
London Advertiser says :- It was cour-
ageous in Miss Mary, daughter of Mr.
Frederick Fairhall, of Centralia, to take
the trip to Manitobawith the Green-
way : party _ the - other day, unaccom-
panied by any • personal friend. It is
not alwaysthe pleasure of a journey
that induces us to take it, but usually
some desirable object to be gained at its
termination. So in this case a good
deal of anxiety has been manifested for
Miss • Fairhall's welfare by her friends
here, but Mr. Luther Manning, son of
Mr. R. Manning, of this village, who
awaits her arrival et Emerson, is if
possible more aniious than they. In-
deed he will not wait, but will hasten,
to meet her, and on their arrival in
Emerson Rev. John Greenway will per-
forin the marriage ceremony, after
which the happy couple will leave for
their future home on L}ither's farm,
some distance west of that city. May
their joys be many and heie sorrows
few.
—Mr. Abel Walper, of Exeter, met
with a most painful an unfortunate
accident one day last wee In com-
pany with others he wa getting out
timber in the woods westf Clandeboye,
and while working at a log, the skid
was twisted and -fell with the log upon
it across his legs. Th overshoe on
the right boot was pulled; clean off - his
foot without any injurj
that member ; but his le
equally fortunate the
resulting to
b leg was not
heavy 'weight
fell on it in such a mariner that the
ankle was completely crushed to splin-
ters. Mr. Walper waswith difficulty
extricated from his painful position,
and at once brought to Exeter in a
sleigh. Several doct rs weresum-
moned, and after exami ing the injuied
limb it was decided tat amputation
was necessary. Amputation was ac-
cordingly successfully performed and
at last accounts the patent wasdoing
well. Mr. Walper's many friends
throughout the- county will learn of
his great misfortune with deep regret.
—The Howick . foundry in Gorrie,.
s
had a narrow escape from destruction
by fire on Sunday la nt}As Mr.. David-
son, one of the propnet�rs,

ing from Sabbath Scheel he called at
the foundry and at once detected the
presence of fire by the strong odor.
After searching the entire building he
