The friend replied; —" The people of Ottawa ride bicycles, the wa- gons are puled by mines. the street cars are ruu h,•,• electrdeity, and the goveranieut is ruts by jackasses, so there is uo demand for horses here." A meeting of the Creditors in the in- solvent estate of laauncey te Brown, was held in Messrs Elliott and Glad. man's office on Weduesday afternoon, The Liabilities amount to about $2,200,. -with assets about $1,500. Messrs. A E. Stewart and Wm. Blatcliford, were appointed iuspeetors, while the appoint- ment of Mr. N. D. llurdou as assignee as coufirmed. During the calendar season we re calved many beautiful calendar de- signs, but the iltcest up to -date thing in this line, we received from the E. B. Eddy Company, of Hull.

"The Widow's Wealth and Song," is the topic announced by Rev. Charles Smith for next Sunday evening's ser- mon. This is the last of a. series of ser- mons on The Widow" which have been iuteresting large congregations for the last three Sunday evenings. The final picture in this quadrifoliated exposition of the widow will no doubt be the most pleasing theme of the Old Testament. story. Probably the roughest and toughest looking gang that a person ever set eyes on passed through town on Wed- nesday morning last. They were ap parently sons and daughters of Italy and were about fifteen in number each leading a bear or monkey. They went through the usual street perform- ance and finally struck northward. It was hard to tell which were the most beastly like, the animals or their mas ters. Base Bali. The first game of Baseball witnessed here this season was played on Tuesday between the Irish Nine, of Lucan, and the Spaldings of Exeter. The playing was exalting at times and Sinly for the costly errors and ragged playing of some of the home players the score would have been a close . one. Semple, for home team, pitched a steady game and held the visitors down remarkably well, notwithstanding his bad support. Murdy, for the visitors, also pitched, a good game, but neither of the pitch- ' ers for the visitors were a puzzle for the home team. Crocker, shortstop for the Spaldings played a brilliant game having. stopped numerous hot liners and making a beautiful running catch which -robbed the visitors of a few more runs. Umpire Porte'd deeasions were partial to the Irish nine and not a few of the runs scored by the visitors were made through the Umpire's ap- parent deafness, he having at different times, throughout the game called four tips which Catcher Snell missed strikes letting men home by a passed ball. The Umpire's eyesight at times also appear- ed misty but we account for it to the small boy'" that apparently gothim rattled.

S. Lang's orchard on 1i ednesday, Juue 1st at 2 o'clock pend• Sp -tenant Prospects. The Warm showers the past week were very opportune and the warm weather followiug will bring on the spring- vegetation with a rush The seeding bas been completed under ex- ceptionally favorable conditious, and the prospects of a big yield all around were never better at the same time of year. On all hands we hear fanners express' satisfaetion with the growth of their flocks, this being true especially' of lambs and hogs. Prospects were never brighter for farmers than at pres- ent in nearly every two of agriculture Jl.oeat i<.ruit. It is said that pot for years have prospects fora very large crop of ap pies, pears, plums and cherries been so ementragitig as they are just now, even the exceptionally abundant yield of two years ago scarcely equalling that of the present oecassio0. The early varieties of apple trees are espeeiallc prolific in blossom, While the popular Northern Spies and Rhode Island Grcenin s, wbich are always two of the staple winter varieties are a close second to their early brothers, If frost does not destroy the blossoms this year's yield of fruit will easily out- strip its prcdeeessors of many years in this district she Bought in Toronto. The Lindsay Post narrates this ex- perience of a Lindsay lady who weut out of town to purcha5'e what she pros. ably could have got et Lindsay at as low a figure and cortaeiuly more aaitis- factory. The Post says: " An exper- ience in goiaig to 'Toronto for bargains will likely give a Lindsay lawyer a job pretty soon. Two weeks ago a north ward woman saw an advertisement iu one of the big Toronto papers quoting prices which a big firm there was go - lag to sell at on the Friday following, She sent au orderand the cash. Amon; other things :Rhe ordered two pairs of towels and 25 yards of five -inch lace, When the stuff arrived she found but one pair of towels and a quantity of one inch lace, She sent the whole thing back without opening the lace to see how inueli there was in it, and de- manded the return of her money. Some days later she received a no e which clearly insinuated that before return. ing the lace she had cut off 10 yards and had returned only 15 yards. This insinuation of stealing she did not like and has demanded an apology. The only excuse the firm offers for not fill- ing the order as sent was that the pur- chaser did not specify that she was or- dering advertised bargains." Exeter School .board Minutes. Meeting head in the Town Hall, May 17th, at 7 p. tn. Absent, D. Spicer. Board visitor, Inspector Torn. The fol- lowing are the items duly submitted and carried:—Per declaration of chair- man minutes of previous meeting. Per J. Senior and R.` N.

Ball, of Crediton, be engaged to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mies Robertson at thesalary paid in that department, with duties to com- mence at the opening of thefal.l session. Per J. Senior and H. Hueston, that the following prepayment be confirmed:— S.

Hueston and J. Senior, that the neces- sary blinds for the south room be pro- cared and hung under ,the principal's direction.Repairs.—Per $, Hueston and J. Senior, that the grass be cut forthwith (Ground and Sanitary) Per H. Hueston and R. N. Rowe that the. chairman and J. Senior be a committee of enquiry re proposed changes in black board and seating. Per R. N. Rowe adjournment. An informal discussion was also held in regard to the com- plaints made owing to the apparent in, crease of defective vision among the pupils, the presupposed cause being the improper lighting of the rooms and the injurious glare resulting from the blackboards. ' Investigation gives grounds foe belief that nearly all such cases are the result of defective health and that no cause for complaint is to be formed in the lighting of the differ ent departments. Experiments how- ever will be made by the introduction of neutral tints for the blackboardwhen if found desirablersuch changes will be made throughout the school. J. GRIGG, Sec'y.
