Professor Brown of the Ontario Agricultur-

n e official reports of the past five
0128 years, for the purpose of showing the average
condition of our farmers. The results at
012 e arrived are startling. If correct,
the Ontario farmers are a class to be enyied.
That his figures will bear the strictest scru.
tiny there is no reason to doubt, and they go
far to bear out the the popular impression
tbat our farmers are not only the most inde-
pendent but by tar the most prosperous por-

that -
there are 22,000,000 acres occupied land in

Exeter.not. 25, '87, Ilea a
Nomination.
Monday eves nomination day and ae a
consequenee the country was astir, especially
in those localitiee where the electors desire a
change in the personnel of their local logis-
latuees. In theeseveral townships hereabouts,
save 'Osborne township, there will be opposi-
tion in ssme cases, if not for the reeve hip,
there will be for tho office of councillor. In
Exeter, it we are to judge from the number
who were ruminated, the feeling to heve the
old council ousted was intense; but we in -
aline to the belief that, as yearly character-
izes these meetings, many of the candidates
mentioned below were nominated merely to
create amusement amongst a few who de-
light in the so-called fun. At 12 o'clock, the
worthy olerk of the village, with his grip in
hand ascended the platform, and efter a very
short preamble called fornominations, which
were received as follows :-For reeve, Dr,
10111us, aud L, Hardy; deputy.resv6, Cio
Bissett, and John Raleton; counoillore, Thou:
McCallum, Jas, Piokard, E. Christie, Santee
Willie, T, B. Carling, A. G. Dyer, D. Johns,
R. Davis and J. P. Clarke& The clerk was
elected chairman, after which the meeting
adjourned to meet at 7:30 o'clock, in order
that the nominees might have an opportum
ity of expressing themselves to the rate-
payers in body. Before the appointed hour
the hall was packed. The chairman took
his seat and called tbe present comicil to take
sets upon the platform. Lawyer Dickson
suggested that the members of the old coun-
cil give an account of theirstewardship, after
whiell have the other nominees address the
electors. Dr. Rollins, Reeve, was first to
speak, After thanking the people for their
suffrages in the past, spoke at some length
upon financial and other matters. He first
gave a lucid explaaation of the new Torn
Hall. He said that a By-law had carried
granting $8,000 for the purchase of a ground
and the erection of a building. Plans and
specifications for the building were mocured
and tenders received for it a erection, the low-
est of svhich was in excess of the amount
granted for the purpose. Ile showed to the
satisfaction of all how the erection of the
large building was throe ?Ill sp, by some oethe
contractors withdrawing tueir tenders.
Learning that there was oonsidereble dissat-
isfaction existing amongst the ratepayers,
owing to the increased expense the Ocnincil
were proposing to incur, it was decided to
have plans drawn for a amaller and less ex-
pensive building. Hence the reason for the
smaller building standing where it is to -day.
He dealt extensively with the finances, shew-
big a surplus of $3,003, less P1,400 for some
minor expenses of 1887. He said that while
last year our rate was 15 mils on the dollar,
this year it was but 14 mills on the dol-
lar. He said that next year it was the in-
tention of the Cour:toil to mad' a new voria---
sidewalk from the market to the north end
of the village, while on all baokIstreets, where
it had not already been done, gravel walks
would be substituted for board; as it was
deemed the better method of sidowalking.
Speaking of the improvements of the past
year he mentioned among others the 'subtle
ark, and the town hall, and said that the
fire limits and cow By -lays might be thus
classified. He spoke of the proposal to in-
corporate the village as a town during Wee
incoming year and. that it the bill which is
going through She legislature, providing for
division of the County into High School dis-
trict% he would advocate having a high
school established here, but not otherwise.
Other candidates spoke very briefly, with
the exception of T. B. Oarling, who made a
very able and well -directed speech.
