It is shrouded with mystery how they openedthe Chubb look on the cell door. No theory can be offered how they got into the yard, as no sians of violence appear anywhere, Both these gentlemen aro known in this vicinity, Fisher having been convicted of theft by an E xeter magistrate last summer, while McRoberts was sent up last winter on a charge of forgery.

When Mr. Ross was pick- ed up he was almost ineensible, but has been confined to the hose only two or three days. He is able to walk around, but it will be some time before he will be able to resume work. It is indeed 'a wonder that Mr. Ross was not' in- stantly killed.

He had also tried to murder his wife. The doctor returned to Exeter and caused a warrant to bo issued for Wildle arrest, and Constable Gill of Exe- ter, arrested him and lodged him in the look- up. On Sunday the prisoner was allowed to walk around in the lock-up, Constable Gill keeping a close eye on him. On Sunday even- ing abo'tt nine o'clock the would-be self -mur- derer was put to bed in one of the cells, and When Mr. Gill opened the cell door on Monday morning he found blood on the floor and mat- tress. Upon examining the occupant of the cell it was S0011 discovered that the blood is- sued from the wound in his throat, which be had torn open with his fingers during the night. Dr, klyndman was sent for, and after the blood had been washed from the old man's face and proeer stimulants administered to him he began to revive, and asked to be taken to the stove, a request which was not granted, wherenpon he (Wild) became ugly and pre- tended to be almost at the poiut of death, but en being threatened with the handcuffs he rallied again, and said he would not attempt to kill himself again if the doctor would sew up the gash. Dr. Hyndman dressed the wound and he was taken to Goderich by Constable Gill on the first northern bound train. B. C. JUVENILE MISSIONARY MEETING. -7T110 annual juvenile missionary meeting in con- nection with the Exeter B. C. Church was hold en Tuesday night. The Attendance was very good, although not so large as it would have been had the weather been more favorable. Rev. J. W. Butcher occupied the chafe. The meeting was opened with singing by the Sale bathetehool scholars, Mise L. Oke presiding at the instrument, in the absence of Miss Blotch - ford, the regular Sabhath-sehool organist. Af- ter prayer by Mr. Brawn, the young people again united in singing, after which Mr. Ed. Roberta read an appropriate selection in manner which pleased the audience. After singing by the jnveniles, Rev. Mr. Spargo, o Usborne, was called uopn to Wrens the au; dictum. The Rev. gentleman said he had beme delighted with the programme so far, and wee thankful to have the privilege of attending a juvenile missionary meeting in Exeter, as it was the first he had hadtlae opportunity of at- tending since he had crossed the Athletic. He hail been thinking while sitting in his seat of the many noble men who had spent their Jives in the missionary work. He referred to the Weeleys, Whitfield and others who bad done much towards the spreecl of the Gospel. He urged upon the young people as well as tbe older pennons the importance of their giving liberally of their means to assist in sending i the Gospel to the benighted ' heathen. Mr. I Spam) eleowed how necessary it el as for par- ents to teach their children to do all they can to send missionaries to heathen lands. Ten minutes, the time allotted to the speakers by the chairman, having expired since Mr. Spar - go commenced bis speech he took his seat, and the audience was again favored with music by the school, after which the Secretary, Mr. W. J. Clarke, read. the financial report, which showed the total amount collected by tbe col- lectors to be 023.74. The coliection was then taken up, after which Rev. Mr. Alibi, of Hen - 'sell, addressed tbe meeting for ten minutes. During the course of his renerrks he spoke of the cunning and craftinetts of the Zulus, with whom the English are at present engaged in war. He said much of their somas might be attributed. to their craftiness. Mr. Allin de. scribed the gods that were worshipped in some heathen countries and the sacrifices that were offered to those gods.' He said that although children were not erpectecl to do much to- wards sending the gospel to 1 tr-off lands, they should cheerfully render all the assistance they could. The speaker recited a piece of poetry, the object of which was to teach the children that little things should not be despised. The speaker closed his short speech by cornpli- meuting Meet L. Oke on the pluck she had manifested in taking the organist's place with- aut having practiced the piece s, Mr. W. J. Clarke then recited a piece entitled "Maly and Martha." The collection which had been taken up, together with the amounts sabsetib- ed previous to the meeting made a total of $29.17. It was suggested lay the chairman that the even $30 be raised, which was soon doue, when the successful meeting was form- ally closed.
