Barrow merchants are talking' seri- ously' of grading' butter and paying for ft according to quality. This is the proper way to buy butter, and other towns would do well to adopt the same rule. Local sportsmen are highly delighted, at the prospect of quail shooting during the taming season, The birds are more plentiful: this year than even before, They wintered well and there is a greet abundance of young game. Au exchange says that everything' points to a great duck season this year. The breediug grounds in the far north are swarming, and the food supply here is very great. No doubt we will have dueks by the million in Oetober and November. Many a housewife may be glad of this excellent hint regarding flies. Take a piece of flannel saturated in paraffin, rub it lightly over mirrors, picture frame and over mantles and let it dry of its own accord. You will not even 1* troubled cleaning these, for flies will. not go near paraffin. The firemen were caned out to an in- cipient fire at Mr, Wm, Hoskin'sstable, Exeter North, on Saturday last, but luckily their services were not required. It seems some small boys were robbing a bees nest and in order to destroy the bees very thoughtlessly put a match to some straw in the stable. A few pails of water distinguished the blaze. The young lads, guilty of throwing rotten eggs at the Mitchell lacrosse team while on their way home Thurs day night last, were brought before Chas Snell, J. P., on Tuesday and fined 41.25 or three days in jail. The pen- alty was light, but should they ever be found out in a similar offence, a few weeks behind the bars will serve as a reward. The excursion under the auspices of the James Street Methodist Sunday school, on Wednesday last,—Civic Holi- day—was a very successful one. The attendance probably was not quite so large as it would have been had it not threatened rain early in the morning, still there were over four hundred tickets sold at this station. The out ing was a most delightful one and every person seemed to enjoy them- selves. The St. Marys Journal in "sizing up" the stone town's lacrosse aggregation has the following complimentary refer- ence to a former Exeter boy:—" Arthur Spicer is a graduate of the Exeter la- crosse club. This is his first year on the Alerts. He is a very fast, hard check and is a dangerous man to be left uncovered near the enemy's flags, as his this year's record of goals scored shows. Art. stands 5 ft. 6 in. and weighs 150 lbs." According to reports received by the railway companies and business men, the largest wheat crop in the history of the United States will be harvested within the next two weeks. The win- ter wheat yield which aggregates be- tween 380,006,000 and 400,000,000 bushels, will be increased to the extent of 350,000,000 from the spring wheat region. The " bumper crop " of 1891 will be exceeded this year by 100,000 000 bushels, from present indications. Are you beginning to get ready for the anneal fair? The local fair should be a great place for recreation and amusement for the farmer and his fam ily, affording them an opportunity to visit their neighbors and friends, and at the same time to learn from the ex- hibition of crops and stock,the necessity of growing better vegetables, fruit, grain and live stock. It is a good thing. Push it along by doing every- thing possible to insure thee effort, which is now being made by some of our farmers, a successful issue. .An exehange says: You can cell the successful farmer by looking at his wife's fruit cans in the closet, You can tett the dry goods box statesman by the patches on his pants.

S. 0. ; "In case a person travelling upon a highway an a bicyele or tricycle, overtakes an ve- hicle, as aforesaid, or horseman, travel - Hug at a greater rate of speed, or a person travelling on foot, the person travelling on the bicycle or tricycle shall give to the other person audible warning of his approach before attempt ifag to pass." How could he ? The law. makers surely have `, taeels in their heads, Laerosse Notes. The exhibition game of lacrosse. played here on Thursday afternoon last between the Mitchell and Exeter teams resulted in favor of the former by a score of 4-1. The game was charaetized of much rough playing and many "scraps" resulted. The teams were pretty evenly matched and the game would have been an interesting ope had they not resorted to roughness, the Mitchell team in most isntauces beim the aggressors. Our lacrosse team drove over to St, Marys on Monday last and played a league game with the team of that place, resulting in favor of the home team by a score of S-6. A number of the regular players were unable to accomp- any the team, therefore their places had to be filled by members of the junior, team thus weakening it to some extent. The game, however, was exciting and ,. the boys " deserve praise for their creditable showing. This will be the last league game and by St. Marys winning it will be awarded the peu- nant. Death of Richard Davis. We have from time to timemade men- tion of the critical condition of 31r. Rich- ard Davis, but he has at last answered the great roll call and passed over with the silent majority after a long and pa- tient suffering, on Monday morning last. The deceased has been a victim of rheumatism for several years but the last two years he has suffered most intensely. One could hardly mourn i that death has released him from the sufferings he endured when it became certain that his case was such that he could not again play a useful part in life's battlefield, Mr. Davis was born in the village of Crowcumbe, County of Somerset and came to Canada about 45 years ago, settling in London, where he worked in the gas works two years and subsequently came to Exeter. On his arrival here he purchased the black smith business of one Mr. Brown, which he conducted with the utmost success. In the year 1859 he married Mrs. Ren- dle, and there was born to them a fam- ily of four sons and one daughter, all of whom survide him. In connection with his blackfmith business he dealt very extensively in stock and was always recognized as a shrewd drover. In pol- itics he was a staunch Conservative and when it came to voting neither party had to consider long how to mark him. The last time he exercised his franchise was at the provincial elect tion, June 23rd, and the deep inter- est he took in his party may be judged when it is considered that he had to be taken to the polling booth on a mat tress. He was 74 years of age and was an adherent of the English church. Mr. Davis was a man of geni- al disposition and sterling integrity and in the course of business made many warm friends who rallied around him during his Tong and painful illness. The funeral took place from his late residence, John st., yesterday (Thurs.) and was largely attended. The be reeved family have the sympathy of a - large Girdle of friends.
