LOCAL HAPPENINGS.
Tan Undersigned would announce to
the public that he has now on hand one of
the hest assorted stooks of harness, boots
andshoes, &e, in town, and would call
spheial. attention to his Scotch Collars,
Children's Carriages, ce Express Waggons,
as they are the best in the market, and at
prices to suit the times., Boot & shoe re-
pairing promptly attended to. Call and
be convineed. C. EACRETT, Exeter.
Bmglary,
On Sunday enorning about two o'clock
persons yisited the express office, and the
tailoring establishment of Mr. A. J. Snell,
both in one building. The berglars gain-
ed an len-trance through one of the back
windows of the workroom. It is thought
that they first ransacked the express
office and safe, getting a few tents, after
which they irepaireci to the tailoring de-
partment. Here, it is supposed they
"tried on" all the suits, and getting a
"good fit" cleared with parts of suits be-
longing to customers.
Forest Fires.
Bush fires have been raging in Stephen
township during the past two weeks,
much valuable property being destroyed.
For several days last week Mr. Richard
Davis of Exeter with several men, were
engaged fighting the fire, and it was ,with
great labor that they saved the bM1dings
on his farm,. used and occupied by Mr. F.
Treibner. The late heavy rains have had
the effect of lessening the fires ana saving
property ; but; it is thought that as soon
as the ground becomes dry the devasta-
ting element will again arise in its might.
The utmost precaution should be exercised
in the clearing of stump fields, not to set
fire, especially at this season.
The teachers and scholars of the Ja.tnes-
st. Methodist S S. about 400,in number,
pieniced. in Mt. Jaines Pickard's grove on
Thursday last. At -one o'clock p. m.,
procession of the teachers and larger
scholars was formedat the church (the
infant clames occupying the band wagons)
and beaded by the Exeter band repaired
to the -picnic grounds. Theafternoon was
very pleasantly spent, the various popu-
lar games receiving much attention. The
children were highly delighted and no
-doubt "wish such festivities would occur
many times during the season. Bad luck
however, attended some of the 'partici-
pants as reports say many valuables, such
as brooches, ear -rings &c., were lost in
the long grass.
The Storm.
One of the most fierce storms of wind
and ram ri accompanied by thunder and
lightning, that we have experienced for
some time, visited this neighborhood, on
Friday last. It gathered itself in the
west .very quickly, and sweeping with
great velocity across the country carried
fences and crops before it, for a consider-
able distance. It was heavier in the
north than in Exeter and while here the
wind did At little damage, the lightning
wrought slight destruction, the planing
mill of Messrs. Dyer & Howard. receiving
a visitation. The lightning entered the
• building at a eeuarter unknown and after
paesieg through the various steain pipes
of the drying kiln it made an exit at one
of the joints. The wood work in a remote
corner at once caught fire, and the flames
were making great headway when dis-
• covered by the workmen, who with some
difficulty staid their progress. The heat-
er was ruined and the loss entailed will
be considerable.

--A good fall trade among the merchants.
Canada's Greatest Fair.
Since its inception in 1879, the Toronto
Industrial Exhibition has proved a contin-
ual series of successes, and the one for the
•present year, to he held from the 10th to
the 22nd of September, promises to again
surpass in every respect those of former
- •years. Already applications for space in
• all departments are more numerous than
• ;ever before. A liheval Prize List and a
longprogramme of flrst-cless and novel
• special attractions is what the Toronto
Fair offers, and success is alWays the re-
sult. Special exhibits will be sent from
Manitoba, British Columbia and many
others sectionof the Dominion. The
special attractions already eontracted for

there -will be plenty to see,both to instruct
and amuse every day of the Fair. Pro-
grammes containing full details will be

We have secured the services,. of a

lively village will geb a full budg,ot of

Mr. Abel iValper, of this place, has
purchased the Commercial Hotel, Ber-
lin, paying therefor the sum of $13,000.
Mr. Curry Wolper will take possession
about the 15 inst. The people of Ber-
lin will find in Mr. \Yelper the many
requisites for a first- class hotel keeper;
he is obliging, gooci natured, and knows
how,to conduct a first-class hotel. Ex-
eter's logs is Berlin's gain.
A new swindle is being worked on
the guileless granger. He is induced
to buy something or other on long time,
his note being all the pa.ymentrequired.
But he objects to giving his note and
having ib discounted for cash. "Oh
we'll keep the note," says the sharper;
and thereupon writes across the face
'Not transferable! It -soon turns up
again in the hands of another party who
wants the,,farmer to pay up. An 'e'
added to the 'Not' makes it note.
At h meeting of the Canada Oatmeal
Millers' Association at Toronto, Friday,
a resolution was passed to wind up the
affairs of the Association on August 31st.
The reasons given for the Association
being allowed to collapse were that the
number of mills is so large in proportion
to the business that it is impossible to
hold together any longer.' The failure
of the combine will, in all probability,
result in a drop of 1.50 per barrel as
soon as the new crop comes in.
The San Francisco IVIedical Journal
says it is stated that oil of bay is used in
Switzerland by butchers to keep their
shops free from flies; and that after a
coat of oil has been applied to the walls
none of these troublesome pests ven-
ture to put in an appearance. This
remedy has also been tried and found
effectual in the south of France in pre-
serving gilt frames, chandeliers, etc,
from becoming soiled. • It is remarked
that flies soon avoid the rooms where
this application has been employed.
We would like to have the teachers
n the different sections write a column
ccassionally on , some of the subjects
aught in -our common schools or suggest
ny improvement in the mode of teach -
ng any subject. Letters from the far-
riers as to the best methods of farming,
tock -raising &c, are always welcome to
s. Papers about the best mode of
arm drainage, the comparative cost of
ile and board drains, the reasons why
field, thorougly underdrained, although
o water was eVOT seen to lie long upon
, will produce more grain than one
ith open drains, &c., are all questions
hat interest the TIMES readers, and
ight be of much use to many.
Runaway,
On Thursday last a horse belonging to
Mr. A. E. Rosenberger, baker, ran away
while on his rounds throughont the town.
A mere ehild was left in the wagon while
Mr. Rosenberger went to make a delivery,
and it is supposed the little fellow in mov-
ing the lines started the horse. The ani-
mal ran very rapidly and in turning a
corner capsized the rig, which was a new
one, making a total wreck of it. The
boy was thrown into. the ditch but was
not seriously hurt.
Re Father Relly's
On the 29th inst. the annual re -union
picnic of the R. C. church, Limerick, will
be held, in Dolehay's beautiful grove, two
and -a -halt miles east of Limerick. The
programme is very complete, the various
popular sports forming and attractive
part. Several new features of amusement
will be added, and taken together the
picnic this year will eclipse all former
attempts. The people of Limerick know
how to make things pleasant and all
wishing a day's outing can do no better
than toeevail themselves of this opportum:
ity. Several very valuable prizes will be
given for various contests. Remember
the date.

A pushing Delega.te.
Mn• G W. Holman, of Elimville, was
lest year appointed by the West Huron
Teachers' Association, a delegate to the
meetiug of the Ontario Teachers' Associa-
tion held. at Toronto. At the. time we
niade mention of the appointment being a
good one, and that Mr. Heiman would
look closely after the rights of the people;
and if the following resolutions which he
succeeded in getting passed can be taken
as a criterian then we were not very far
astray. They :read :—Whereas a great
majority of the children of this Province
depend entirely upon a Publie School ed-
ucatiou, and that the education received
in public schools forms the basis of after
training and whereas a comparison of
'High and Public Sehool stetistics• shows
in 1886 the Legislative Grant to the form-
er to be $l0:50 per pupil, and to the latter
$L17 per pupil (See pp. 13, 1S,'36 and 47,
Report of the Minister of Education
1886); also 'that the grant to High Schools '
was 20% of the total expenditure, and to
Public Schools not quite 8%, it is the opin-
ion of the Public School Section of this
Association that the Public Schools do
not receive the share of Legislative aid to
which their importance entitles them. 11
That the Honorable the Minister of Edu-
cation be requested to secure an 'increased
Legislative Grant to the Public Schools in
each municipality be so amended that it
shall be apportioned upon the basis of
average attendance of only those pupils
who shall have attended the full 100 days
per annum; that the necessary equipment
of each school have a first claim upon the
grant to that school, upon the written
order of the Inspector.
