Dearing, milkman, inform- ed the .ADVOCATB that he harvested no less than 17 loads, or over 500 bushels of turnips grown from a quarter pound of seed. The seed was sown among marigolds and many of the turnips weighed from 12 to 15 pounds each. This seems to us a big yield. Mr. Dearing wishes to know if any person can beat this. Pointer to Slerohants. According to the postoffice regula- tions samples by mail may run up to a pound and a half in weight, provided they are not of any commercial value, and that the`maximum weight is rea- sonably required for sampling purposes Vendors of tea have been utilizing the sample post for mailing their commodi ty to their regular customers, not as samples, but as articles of domestic re quirement. A pound and a half of tea has some commercial -value and as the transmission of such a quantity through the mails is a transgression of the spirit of the regulations it has been decided to fix a specific limit for the quantity of tea which may pass through the mails by sample post. Postmasters are therefor enjoined not to accept for transmission, as samples, packages of tea containing more than one hell pound in weight.

Death of Thomas Coates. The past few days have been fraught with sorrow and sadness in and around Exeter over the death of one of Us• borne's most highly respected residents, in the person of Mr. Thos. Coates, who passed to his eternal rest on Tuesday morning at one o'clock, at the age of 63 years, 8 months. Deceased was taken sick about a week ago of typhoid fever and in a few days after, hissufferings were intensified by a severe attack of inflammation of the lungs, which soon ebbed his life away, and the shock, to the community in which he lived so long and which he had been se useful was a severe one. He was cared for by his immediate relatives and medical adviser most assiduously and kindly, but no human power could avert the stroke of death. Like all others, de- ceased had his trials and difficulties, but with patience, perseverance and hard work they were in.timeovercome and he had made for himself a comfort- able home surrounded by five -hundred acres of splendid farm land. Deceased served as'rreasuier for the township of Usborne for many years, which office he held at the time of bis death. He was a consistent, if not an enthusiastic Conseryative in politics and a beloved member of Lebanon Forest Lodge No. 133, A. F. & A. M, under which auspi- ces the funeral will be conducted. Iu private life he was pleasant and com- panionable; in counsel or advice'he al- ways evinced the soberest wisdom and was a kind father and an affectionate husband. He leaves to mourn his de- mise a wife and six sons, all of whom have tbo sincere sympathy of the corn• munity, The funeral will take place from his late residence, cohcessron 3, Usborue, to -day (Thursday,) at 2 o'clock for the Exeter cemetery. Attempt At Robbery. "Halt, or I'll blow your brains out" was the startling sound that brought the night watchman, Mr. Thos. Bissett, to an abrupt standstill on Friday morn- ing last about 1:30 o'clock. He was on his regular beat and when arriving in front of Messrs. Rollins & Williams' flouring; mills was confronted by a rough looking character, who presented a piste' at his head and bade him halt. Just then two more ruffians appeared on the scene, when one of them struck him a severe blow on the left temple which brought him to the ground. He finally regained his feet but staggered and al- most fell again from the shock. They then wanted him to go into the mill,but on refusal one of them grabbed the large stick he had been carrying :and struck with terrible force . at his head, but Mr. Bissett, noticing his movements dodged his head to one side and thus evaded a blow that would have doubt- less laid him low. They again tried to induce him to enter the mill, but on his refusal they grabbed him and tried to force him up the steps, but finding this ineffectual, and Mr. Bassett yelling for help, they decided to decamp. Mr, Bissett then started for help, but when returning no trace of them could be found. On examination it was found that they gained entrance to the mill by prying Pdoor, rying open the front and had hammered the safe with a sledge, bruis- ing it up badly, badl, but t d i d not succeed in opening it. Nowtv l, there was notu- ing in the safe but the books, Out be tween the woodpile was found two punches, which evidently had been left by them. The tools had been, taken. from Mse ;] .

McFadden, of Stratford,will hold a lodge of instruction iu Britania Lodge, No. 170, A. F. & A. M., Seaforth, on Tuesday evening, Nov. •26th. The first, second and third de- gres will be exemplified by Goderich, Exeter and Stratford respectively. Several of the Exeter brethren have signified their intention to be present. A correspondent says :—An escaped lunatic supposed to be James Ragen, caused quite a commotion ''among the people at Bethel corner last week. He roved around ',during the afternoon, and at dark went into the church stied for the night. Arthur Guuning and some others attempted to capture him, but he was too nimble. He was in his bare feet, and was thinly clad, and is reported to have been roving about for weeks in the neighborhood of Exeter. Several bicycle "boys" wheeled up from London on Sunday and on leav- ing for the return trip, perevious to the heavy rain, ons of the party broke the pedal of his "bike." Not being able to got the damage repaired, a rope was attached to one of the other bicy- cles and onto the broken machine and in this way they started for home. They had not gone far before the heavy storm overtook 'them and `hey were compelled to return and remain till morning. Deer shooting commences this year on November 1st.
