A Cow Bell,—On Tuesday last a young
man named Werry drone into town with a cow
bell attached to one of horses, Constable Gill
noticed it and etcakeordered him. to get astring
of bells. For public good Mr. Gill has drawn our
attention to the following clauses in the munici-
pal by-law; (6) "Ringing of belle, or making
unusual noise in the street, are' prohibited,"
(14) "No person shall drive any description of
sleigh, or any vehicle oil runners in the winter
season within the limits :of said corporatiori
without having three or more bells attached to
at least one of the horses attached thereto, or
the tongue or shaft of anoh vehicle." . Mr. Gill
says that while these clauses remain unrepealed
he will inforoe thele. Mr. Gill says he is sur.
prised that a man:like Mr. Werry would send
his team to town wearing a oew bell, as ‘it he
were going to ga, charivari.

C. M. ,'tfrssroNAUT SEnvzc>,si: The annual
missionary sermons in couuexion with the
Exeter C. M. chnech were preached on Sun-
day last by Rev. Mr. Philp, of Loildon. . The
audience at both morning . and evening sere=
nes was large, and the clear and logical die
oursee mere listened to with interest by all
whn werepresnt. On Monday evening the an-
nual. public niissiouary me:tiug • was held in
he church and although the weather
was very favorable, yet the attendance was far'
hort of being as large as it should have beeu,
but the e being similar services in the Euglish
church the same evening win no doubt account
to soiree extent for the email attendance. A.
full deputation, consisting of Revs. Messrs
Philp and Boss, of Londrin, and Schrum, of
Exeter, together with the castor of the church,
were preseut. Mr. George -Willis was called td

The English'ohurch held their annual mission-
ary meeting on Monday biening last, 'Tice at-
tendance was not large, but the meeting was
ivory interesting, The incumbent, Rev. E. 'J
Robinson, read the annual report, according to
Which 'the Bishop of Huron had confirmed
1848 peraonai during the peet.year, He -sal
the amount raised by the .Exeter society las
year amounted to about ;$100, which he under
Wad was the -average minuet amount, 11
report of the progress of the missionary wort
was very encouragiue, Rev. Mr, Hicks; o
Goderioh, alluded to what each Qne could di
to assist in the missionary 'euerprise if they
were onlywiliug, Although there were nor
many present, yet if each contributed theb
proper share the aggregate sum would amount
to considerable. It was the small rivulets that
formed the beautiful rivers, the rivers Will
lakes at last emptied into the ooean,so with tlic
donations to the missionary cause. The mis-
sionary oauQe was the very essence of ehristi.
anity ; Christ was the first missionary, and af-
ter His ascension, the work devoled upon the
apostles~, and from them the work fell upoi.
Christianminieters, Some tell us that then.
is a great difference between the apostles and
the minister of to -day, The eev, geutlemei*:
thought the same might be said of the people,
for in the apostolic days thepeople sold ev-
erything
verything andnt the moneyinto the"''comnrul
treasuty; and a thought the men who worn.
be willing to 1iaoko such sacrifices as that a:
the presents
e.
ay were few indeed. He cnu1d as
sure theme_ at the niinisters were poorly paid.
They :get•b 'an average about $800 a year, an,
out of ti r hey were expected to keep their fa-
mily as ' o subscribe to every charitable in-
stitute -el that applied to them for aid. He el.
ogllently urged on his hearers the necessity o:
hfereased liberality this year. He gave an ac-
count' of the progress of christiauity under th,
influence of the Gospel as preached by the
missionaries in ?„texic\r. Over seven thousaaciu
bad been converted. through their .nstrmeutal-
ity. Ile recd before the audience „the chain.;
of the missions in the Northwest as well uc-
the house missions and earnestly asked if soul
should perish for want of the Brehd, of Life
while 1
e iv e had
it in our power ' to send it
to them. The speaker next drew attention t,
the fact that the Diocese of Huron reecieve,
$10,000' from • Frngland to assist in i elenrclr
work, He the dwelt' on the duty iii' the
church .in .contributing tothe missionary
cause,•after which the collection was taken up,
euntthe meeting was fortnerly closed,
EximieeI:r a isr.—The entertalnmo,ltin ale
of (}siisthChurob Sabbath -school was held in
Oreei'sHall on Wednesday evening, 8tli, as a .-
nounced, and attracted a geed budienpe. Rev.
E. J. Robinson i4' the course of a few opening
remarks state'a that owiug to -the snow b!ook-
tele, oue of the principal lady singers had been
unable'tes reach Exeter, and that the magic
lantern which he had expected, could net be
forwarded. He had also just leas. .2 -that two
of the gentlemo„ were lnpapaeitated by sick-
beas from appearing. This would, of course
render it impossible to carryout the programme
in its integrity. He regretted this very•much,
but as the eircrunstanaes were beyond centre,
he should ooufiduutly claim the indnlgeuee of
the audience, and could assure there that every
effort would be made to please- then ae far as
possible. The opening obcrus "God is the
Refuge of His People" was then sung by the
choir, It would be unfair to criticise the ren-
dering of this piece, as, owing to both the solo
singers being unavoidably absent, their parts
had to be taken by others at a moment's
notice. The same remarks will apply to the
other coneerted pieces given, The gaps in the
program i•e were filled by songs from Mr.
Brewer acrd Mr. Thorue, each of whom receiv-
ed the honor of an encore, and by a reading
from Mr. 1. Carling. The pianoforte solos by
Miss L. :Carling cud Miss Alcock, and the
duets by Mesdames Pickard. and Kemp, and
Misses L. Carling and Fitton met with well
merited applause, as did alsothesonge by Mrs.
Kemp and Mr. 0. MaLelland. The Rev. Mr.
RobinsonOgave two readings in finished styles.
and Miss Schram gave a dramatic rendering of
Tennyson's "Victim," while .Mr.. Thorne cre-
ated much amusement by one of his inimita-
ble reading; iu the Dovoushire dialect. But
what may be termed the' heensation" - of the
evening was the first appearance is public of a
very juvenile reciter, Master Elliot, who',gainod
hearty applause fohis rendering of "The
'Clown and the'Vioar." In order that the chil-
dren might not be altogether disappointed of
their anticipated magic lantern show, the Rev.
Mr. Robinson exhibited a series of vie}vs with a
small lantern of his own, and judging by the
shouts and screams of the juvenile portiou of
the audienec as each subject was shown, they
gave outire satisfaction. Several of the views
were photographs of well-known. dwellings and
buildings in Exeter, prepared for the purpose.
The entertainment was brought to a Conclu-
sion at a sornewhat late hour , by singing the
National Anthem, the solo being taken by Miss
Jessie Carling (in the absence of -Miss Maodou-
noli), Miss Fitton joining her in a drier iu the
second verse, the chorus being sung by the
choir. The, proceeds of the, entertainment
amounted to nearly 038.
