Ballentyne, a local cattle dealer yesterday showed us a cablegram from Liverpool to the effect that Oau- adian cattle would in all likelihood be subjected to the same restrictions as the United States cattle entering Britain, viz., slaughtered as soon as landed. This is owing to the rapid spread of the foot and mouth disease throughout Eng' land. The :,tendency will be to lower the price of btnadian stock, as, (being then equal to the United Statea cattle in England), now ^tliteir cattle are so much cheaper than ours, and consequently hotel would be placed on one plane. We trust, however, that the restrictions may no t bo iticreased against our cattle. Brrevities. Two more Sundays till Easter. Sugar -making is in full swing this week. To -morrow is the 1st of April.

At the last opeu meeting, some time ago, the Select Councillor stated that there was at that time a membership of 50, and hoped that by the next open meeting he would be able to say that the membership had increased to 100 ; his calculation did not fall far short, as there were 99 names on the roll on Monday night. Several intend joining the Lodge at the next regu- lar meeting. The collection amounted to $13.25. Mr. Richard Manning on Tuesday re- ceived word from Manitoba concerning the death of his son Samuel, of which mention was made last week. The de- ceased had been feeling poorly all win- ter, but nothing serious was anticipated, One day last week he went to the stable as usual, to attend the stock, and not returning in due course, his wife fol- lowed to ascertain cause of delay, when she found the lifeless body of Mr. Man- ning lying in one of the mangers, death having resulted from heart failure, as pronounced by a doctor called in. Mr. Manning was 39 years of age, and when a young man in Exeter, was held in the highest esteem, as we believe was also the case in Manitoba, and his many friends express much sympathy for the bereaved ones.

That- were hat'were anion meetings, the Methodist and Presbyterian ministers taking part ; also Mr. Samuel Grigg, at one time hotel -keeper in London, telling to large crowds of his conversion and of giving up the liquor busi- ness. We think what Mr Grigg said is very applicable to some of the rlranton ptopie, —Three young mea of this place receiving a letter giving them five days to leave Granton, made good their escape inside of five home, Their conscience must have called guilty as regards the liquor atoren from the liquor store ; but the proprietor of the same should bring those young culprits book, give them a bit of the law, and put a stop to the oontinual depredations going on here.
