Mr. Gooderham and several others gave stirring addresses. During the course of his remarks, Mr. Gooder- hani said that it would pay the city well to contribute the funds necessary to bay the grouna and erect a barracks that would hold four times as many as the present _building (which seats about 400), on account of the great good that would be accomplished through the Salvation Army. He said the Array didn't get credit for one-half the work done by them, but they didn't care. A large number of the converts of the. Army join other churches, but the Army didn't mind that, so long as they took the life with them, and not " have a name to live and are dead." Commis- sioner Coombs gave a- short history of the work in Toronto, and illustrated it by telling stirring faets of how men and women who were drunkards and out- aasts were brought -back to a life of god- liness by the Army there. Grey. FATAL ACOIDENT.—A melancholy ac- cident occnrred near Ethel one day last 'week, by which Robert Ross, of lot 25, concession 5, Grey, met an untimely death. It appears the deceased was driving to Ethel when the_ tugs be, came detached from the buggy, freeing the horse, which became frightened, drawing the unfortunate man over the front of the buggy and breaking his neck. Medical aid was summoned, but it was of no use. Mr. Ross was well- known throughout the township. CHURCH NOTES.—Rey. D. .13. Mc- Rae, of Knox church, Cranbrook and Ethel, left on Monday last for Winni- peg, where he will attend the General Assembly. Mr. McRae has been a zealous worker, and will no doubt be much benefited in health by a vacation. —The .Presbyterian church at Gran - brook has become altogether inade- quate for the congregation, and should be enlarged or a new one erected.— The Sacrament of the Lord's supper was observed last Sabbath at Ethel. Rev. Mr. Henderson, of Atwood, as- sisted the pastor.—The Union Sunday School in school section No. 1, has an attendance of over fifty. Looaas.—A number of farmers have lost colts this spring. The disease seems to be rheumatism.—John Stevenson and Arthur Smart drove to lake Huron, near Goderich, one day last week. They had a fine time, 'and caught some nice suck- ers.—The root crop is on the tapis this week.—The masons have about complet- ed the foundation of Mr. Davidson's barn. The work is well executed, and will look well *hen the barn is complet- ed.—The recent rain has given hay ta good staft studied for the Methodist ministry, entering- upon his rninieterial duties in the year 1851. He was ordained for special purposes the same year, and four years later was received into full cennec- _tion at the first conference held in Queen's Avenue Methodist church, Lon- don, in 1855. In the same year he mar- ried Fanny, daughter of the Rev. John Baker, of Brighton, , Ragland, by whom he had eight children, five of whom, with his widow, isurvive him. During his ministerial labors he was stationed in Montreal, Kingston, Hamilton, Ni- agara, Oshawa, St. Johns, St. Thomas, Sarnia, London, and other places, in all of which his Jabots were highly appreci- ated and crowned with marked success. From 1877 to 1880 Mr. Dickson wa• aa\ stationed at Dundas street Centre church in London, where he made many friends, who, with others, have been most assiduous in attentions, , and by kindly acts have done all in their power to alleviate his sufferings. During, his ministerial labors in Exeter in 1885 hemorrhage of the lungs so far proi- trated him that he had to abandon his loved work, and at the conference of 1886 was superannuated, and with la.s family returned to London. Mr. Dick- son was a man of marked scholarly at- tainments, exemplary character, and in his pastoral relations he was universally beloved. Gorrie. LEFT TOWN.—Miss May Rogers, who has tau-glat musie and painting, in ohr village for nearly three years, left on Wednesday of last week for London, where she intends to remain a few weeks, when she will go to Winnipeg. Miss Rogers is not only a good singer and player, but also an efficient teacher. Her amiable disposition and excellent social qualities won for her many friend, who were exceedingly sorry to part with her. Exeter. Tna CROPS. —The crops in this section are all in a fine condition, and the showers of last week did a 'great deal to make them have the appearance of a fine °crop, while the nice warm rains of this week have helped to make assurance doubly sure. FINES.—On Friday last, Inspector 0. H. Sprague was brought before the Reeve and fined the sum of $1 and costs, amounting in all .to $3, for tying his horse on the sidewalk and. allowiug it to stand in that position for three hours, which is against the laws of our town. Don't do it again. NEW SIGN. —A handsome 'sign has heeniplaced on the telegraph post oppo- site the Commercial hotel, bearing the inscription af "Moore & Cudinoree pump makers and horse dealers." It is a superb- piece of workmanship, and greatly attracts the attention of the passer-by. HORSE TRADE.—On Tuesday last a number of gypsies struck town and en- tered into a trade with John Moore, of this place, Moore giving the gypsies $1 and exchanging horses. The next morn- ing Moore went out to the stable to hitch up his equine, and on putting on the bridle, he accidentally raised the horse's head a little too high, and on doing so burst a poll evil" which the beast had on its neck, and rendered the horse unfit for use. The following Friday the same • gang struck town again and, Moore then sold them back the beast for $5, which leaves him $34 out of pocket. LARCENY.: --On Tuesday, May 31, two of our boys, Phair and Howard, left • town for London in quest of work, and stopped at the City Arms hotel in that city. Before going to bed. Phair tied the sum of $3.5a in one corner of his hand- kerchief, and then himself and Howard retired. for the night. In the morning when Phair arose, on examination, he found that he had been robbed of his money, and at once communicated the same to a police officer, who after sonie little time found. Howard and arrested him and placed him in the cells for safe keeping. PRESENTATION.—On Wednesday even- ing, June Ist, many of the Conservative and other friends of Mr. George Moir gathered in Mr. L. II. Dickson's law office and presented him with a neat ad- dress, accompanied by a purse contain- ing $100. Mr. Moir replied to the ad- dress in very feeling terms. The bal- ance of the evening was spent in short speeches, etc. Mr. Moir left on Friday for hi a new home at St. Marys, where he will enter the law offices of Messrs. Smith & White, of that place. We join in wishing Mr. Moir every success in his new home and, enterprise. BRIEF:;.—Beautiful. weather. —A large number attended. the County Orange Lodge at Cliuton on Tuesday last.— Gypsies are in town nearly everyday.— The fish -pedlar's horn is heard daily.— Mr. R. Sproule, of Cannington, Out., • was in town during the week.—Quite a nueraber of the Hensallites were in town on Friday evening.—The song of the ower will soon be heard. --earacle was very brisk last week. --Look out for the repart of the number of new buildings and their Owners and contractors next week—On Friday last Messrs_ Govan - lock and Waniess, J. P.'s, were in town to again take up the adjourned cases against Mitchell, of Credition, aud Paine, of Zurich, but the cases were agein adjourned. DEATH OF C MAN.—The gentle- man referred to in the following para- graph, taken from the London Adver- tiser of Monday last, was well known in Exeter and vicinity, heivine been pastor to'f the Main street Methodatteehurch fiar some time: The Rev. (a N.\ A. F. 'T. Dicksen, the well-known alethiedist cler- gyman, (lied in London at his residence ort Sunday morning in the 62nd year of hie age. He was born at Templenew, near Bellyshannon, in the county of btanega.1, Ireland, on the 21st of October, 1825. He came to St. John, New Brunswick, in the year 1847, where he . I Ilvataaraaa.—Mr. George Creikshana, of Wingham, was on Tuesday of That week united in marriage to Miss Cassie Rogers, daughter of Mr. Jas. Rogers, Of this village, the ceremony being per- formed by the Rev. Mr. Charleton. The wedding was of a very quiet character, there being present only a few relatives and friends of the contracting parties. The happy couple left on the 3 o'clock train for Cobourg, bearing with them the best wishes of many friends. PRESENTATION.—On Sunday, the 29th of May, the Rev. Mr. , Muir, Presby- terian minister, announced that he had been appointed delegate to the Gen- eral Assembly; which meets in VVinnli- peg this month. On the following Tues- day evening a meeting was called by some of his friends in his Gorrie congre- gation, and it was resolved that an ef- fort be made to aollect a sum of money for him. Accordingly, collectOrs were appointed, who went into the woiik heartily and succeeded well. It was arranged that the members and ad- herents of the -congregation would met on Friday evening at the residence bf Mr. Jas. Armstrong, V. S., Where 'the presentation would be made. On this evening quite a number -put in their ape pearance, and a most enjoyable tAme Wtag spent. About 9 o'clock, Mr. Jas. *- Laughlin, the chairman, called the meeting to order, and the choir sang " Sailing o'er the Sea." _Mr. Muir then • led in prayer, after which he was pre- sented with an address and a pure con- taining $40. Miss Sophia Walker re d the address and Mrs. Thos. EL Laughlin made the presentation. T address was couched in the most co plirnentery and affectionate terms, showing the warm place Mr. Muir oc- cupies in the hearts of his people. Al- though taken quite by surprise,,:he made a most fitting response, in which he not only thanked his people for this Mani- festation of their good -will towards him, but for the many kindnesses he had re- ceived at their hands, and for the able assistance received from them in render- ing service and work for the Master, and hoped that the few weeks' rest and and change which he proposed taking would enable him to renew his labors en his return with increased energy and ability. After these proceedings a shdrt intermission was given, during which hincheon was served. Justice havieg beeh-done to the good things provide by the ladies, the entertainment, con- sisting of vocal and instrumental muse, readings, recitations and 'speeches, com- menced. It continued until half•pest 11 o'clock, when the meeting was closbd by Mr. Muir pronouncing the benedic- 1 tion. The best of feeling prevailed throughout, and all were well pleas, d with the whole proceedings. Wd e ministers, members and adherents to meet in a social capacity frequentl great good would be the result. c - these petitions, which I will tell you. The farmer was asked to sign the peti- tion to put a heavy license on pedlars and hawkers. "Why-," says the far- mer, "should I cut my own throat by feigning your petition, when just now the pedlar comes to ray. door and pays my wife a cent a dozen more for her eggs cash than you are paying in trade?" "1 am not ,bound to buy -his goods. My wife and myself both think that it would be a mistake to sign a petition tO decapi- tate the pedlar." • Don't ' you think the farmer was about right? Another far- mer said, when asked to sign, that he looked on it as on the same principle as the hated N. P., and as he believed in liberty to purchase where he liked and where he could do best, be thought it wrong to put avoidable restrictions on business, and if he did get fooled some- times by pedlars, he claimed the liberty to get fooled if• he liked; that, too, was his own business. I don't think the petitions will be largely signed about Wroxeter.—There are great preparations making here for honoring DominionDay. The committee are more liberally supplied with funds than ever before, and there will be several new attrac- tions which we have not had in other 'years. There will be good prizes for baseball and football and the other usual games and sports. I believe the com- mittee are arranging for a fat man's race (special), and that there are already five or taxi, fat men, whose aggregate weight is saniething less than a ton, who are now training for the race. Hanlan and Gaudatir's race will be nothing to it. —Our ,Reeve has his new brick house well under way; and there are other signs of improvement in the village ; ancl a kind Providence seems to be smiling on the agriculturist, and we cannot see much that the chronic grumbler has to keep up his occupation.—Y. Wroxeter. LOC4,1, POINTERS.—DEAR EXPOSITOR, —When your paper comes to hand every Saturday morning I look for the Wrex- eter news, but lately I have been unable to find anything from that place. Liras your Wroxeter correspondent left for parts unknown? or has his right haild forgot its cunning? or, perhaps, he is in the dumps. As he refuses, Or file: glects, to enlighten your readers a y more with the doings and sayings of t, e people of our village, I think it is but right that somebody should do it. Last week the barbers were seriously consid- ering the propriety of raising their fee for shaving their patrons, as the faces had begun to grow long for want of min.—Things Are somewhat changed, as we have had a good supply of that much needed article, and. now the barbers' patrons are considering the advisability of asking to lower their charges as the faces are wonderfully shortened.—Crop prospects are splendid all around ps, and tile fruit crop promises to be im- mensea—There is considerable what coming in now, as our buyers have d- vanced the price.—Our trout fishers are cemplaining that the speckled beautiee are not easily caught tide season, and til the bie yarns are told about other yeers. Some people think that as we sent a different man to the Dominion Parlia- ment last winter, the fish are in sense •way affected by it and refuse to bite._ Oar woolen mills are very busy, and the proprietor is taking in more ham*. — Business all round seems to be fairly good. Of course, the egg businesS is boonaing. Neatsly all the storekeepers have signs irp to tell what they will do for eggs. I think the M. P. that was, may not have been far wrong when he said that the N. P. caused the hens of Huron to lay larger eggs. By the vi'ay, in speaking of eggs, the petitions iow getting signatures in re Pedlars' Lic nse con3es to my mind, and an incident oc- curred 'in a store tha other day ever Presbytery of Maitland. Presbytery of Maitland met in Lucknow on Tuesday, May 31st, at 2 p.m. Rev. A. McKay, of First church, Eramosa, having accepted the'call to the Lucknow congregation, his induction was proceeded with in the presence of a large congregation. Rev. K. McDonald, Ash- field, preached an instructive and'forci- ble sermon from Zech. 4, 1-6, after which the usual questions were put to Mr. Mc- Kay, and being satisfactorily answered, he was then solemnly inducted into the pastoral charge of the congregation. Rev. R. Leask, St. Helens, and Rev. H. MeQuarrie, Wingham, addressed suit- able words of counsel to the minister and people, respectively. At the close of the service Mr. McKay received a hearty welcome from the congregation. The resignation of Ree. S. Jones, Knox church, Brussels, was then takea up. Mr. Jones stated his reasons for • tendering ' his resignation, after Which the delegates from the congregation, Thomas and John Strachan, were heard. After deliberation the resignation was, at Mr. Jones' earnest request, accepted, the resignation to take effect after the first Sabbath of July. A suitable min- ute was adopted regarding Mr. Jones' resignation, recognizing his worth as a member of Presbytery and his long ser- vices to the Church •of Christ, and especially his pastorate of 20 years in Knox church, from which he now re- tires in his 80th year, with the esteem and affection of his people. It was re- solved to apply to the Assembly to have Mr, Jones' name placed on the list of re- tired ministers. Messrs. MeQuarriee Brown and Stevenson were appointed to eisit Knox church with the view of se- curing a snita.ble retiring allowance fetain the congregation. Rev. A. Stevenson was deputed to declare the pulpit vacant on the second Sabbath in July, Rev. D. B. McRae to be moderator of services during the vacancy. . Applications for the reception of min- isters of the Assembly were passed,after which the Presbytery adjourned. civilly." "Will he conie, do you think?" "Oh, yes, he' come, for he says I can- not touch him." Ask him to come to yOu on the qu y. As soon as he comes, khock him d wn ; I'll be close at hand, and take you both into enstody for a breach of the eace. You *ill get to the police office jast as the magistrates are gone. • The next day is Sunday; he'll have to stop till Monday; you'll have time then f r him to give up your money."

Aad, by the by, a deer was shot -some few weeks ago within 300 yards of the office' am new writing in, though buffalo are a thing of the past here. Yet, there is plenty of game, from the stately Moose and graceful antelope down to th wild goose, turkey and duck. • Wapella is in the Province of Assini7 bola, 235 miles westkaf Winnipeg, and is built in a most picturesciae position on a t high ridge. A deeiravibe runs through the town, emptying into the Pipestone river, forming a thie natural drainage for the place. The Canadian Pacific Railway runs through the place, giving the dewn every facility to export or im- . pert. We have an English church and a - 'Presbyterian church, blacksmith, shoe- maker, harness -Maker, cloek-maker, car- penter, builders and cabinet-maker, also three l hotels, three general stores, and fancy -millinery and dressmaking' estab- lishment, 1 druggist, I doctor, a lumber yard, and 1 '! tonsorial artist; 2 large livery, feed and sale stables; post office, fie:tin which Mails for country offices are distributed. We have also a butcher and a grain buyer. All that is really wanted here now is a grist mill. The nearest mill is at the Moose mountain, a distance of about 50 miles. The citizens of Wapella are offering a bonus of twelve hundred dollars to any one who wit1 erect a mill and have it in operation be- fore the lst of December next. Th ia is a splendid chance for a miller Who wants 'to come to the Northwest. . There are only_a few odd sections here that are open for homesteading. The balance, for many miles square, ha a been under cultivation foe two or three years. It is now that the people feel the want of a grist mill, having sown a large acreage this year. Crops are looking splendid. Yours, &c., , G. H. .MORRISON. NINIINICIMONIBIEMIN=er • A Creditor's Stratagem. Strange strataterns are often found re- sorted to by creditore in pursuit of dis- honest debtors. At a meeting,at Leeds, of a Society for the ewotection of trade, one of the speakers related an instance in point :—A poor fellow arrived_ in Liverpool from the West Riding in pur- suit of a fugitive who had carried away a.:300 of his money. He applied to an attorney, to the magistrates, and to lie chief of police in vain. Turning sorrow- fully away, a police officer offered a bit of advice, "Go to the ship's side to- morrow, at ten o'clock (the ship sails at twelve), and ask your debtor ashore • BALDWIN—RILEY.—On Suga,r Island, on the 5th ult.,Me.
