dominie, is quite a wrestler, but he got
his match last week, when he challeng-
ed two Exeter boys for a contest. Mr
Joseph Morrow, of the post office store,
is taking in the sights of the forest
city this week. Apples have ' been
rushing in to the evaporator during
the past week, and the enterprising
proprietors are kept hustling, in order
to get them all dried before the cold
weather sets in. The stage team ran
away on Saturday evening last, but
fortunately did not get far before being
captured by Mr Cook. Our Methodist
friends intend holding a tea meeting

CArirsEs.-Our town is well favored,
with representives of the canine race;
we have them of all sorts, sizes, colors,
and breeds, and could veritably almost

NOTES.- Mr George Snell, of Londes-
boro, spent a few hours here visiting
his cousin Mr Thomas Lobb. Horses
were a dull sale at the auction sale of
Mrs S Holmes, on Thursday last. We
regret to learn that Mrs W H Lobb, of
