Thursday last the estimates for the year
were submitted by the finance committee.
They amounted to a trifle less than $4,000,
being nearly 9300 10 excess of last year,
which is accounted for by the extmorainary
expenditures in drilling an artesian well at
the ventral school and. the kalsomininga of

other night by a couple of young lads imi-
tating the °ranee:nen, and we must say
they, did well. The fife was represented
by one lad whistling while the drum was a
steady beating of the heola on a store
goods box. However, our constable walked
over to the oorner to enjoy the music:
while the young lads took to their heels in
double quids time. —Sunday is supposed to
be a day of rest and We are sorry to see so
little regard paid to if as some are in the
habit of doing. A nice game of croquet or
ball is very well in its way, but respect for
Sunday should be shown by everyene, and

as usual she climbed up in the stage and as
he had occasion to go to the mill he forgot
the child ; the lunges gave a sudden start
and. Clara fell to the ground striking on her
'made:ad was very badly hurt. It is to be
hoped that otltera may take warning and
keep off the stage.—Quite a little excite-
ment was caused in town Tuesday afternoon
by the arrival of the Crediton
boys to play against tbe Zurich
"Cornstalks" as the boys are pleased
call themselves. --This being he third
game gilite a little interest was taken 10 11 as
the games stood lfeaoli. The Zurioh boys,
thougro sinall fellows worked with a deter-
mination to win or die and gained the day.
To say they were delighted but poorly ex-

A Palmy GATEIERING.—On Monday laat,
there Itasembled at the residenoe of Mr.
John Anderson, this village, with two ex -
captions, (and. they are at too great a dis-
tance) the sone and. daughters of Mrs.
Iluraphrey White, together with their re-
spective husbands and wives, for the pur-
pose of celebrating the 83rd birthday of
this eatimeble old lady.. The members of
the family are : —John Willie, editor Exeter
Trares ; Wm. White, Lemonville D. G.
White, Manitoba, and. H. L, White, Sb
lelurys and krq, Jas. W. Atkinson,
131ansliard ; Mrs. W. H. Graham St. Marva;
Mrs. 04. Hamilton, St. Marys, and Mrs.
Jno. Anderson. All were pleased to find
their aged mother in good health andsmart;
and. she may possibly live to the age of her
deceased partneewhose death occurred a
few years ago, at 87 years. Mr. and Mrs.
White were among the earliest pioneers of
Blanshard, and up to Ur. White's death he
was active and transacted his own business
anu Mrs. White, although not retaining
her vigor as he did, is eurpviaingly active.
A pleasant day of re -union was spent and
after tea the gathering dispersed, possibly
never to assemble again on a similar occa-
sion: The aged lady has the satisfaction to
see her children in good eirounostancee, and
prosperous and all living but two. May
her daYs be lengthened to see many more
such anniversaries, and her happiness in-
creased correspondingly.
To the Editor of the Exeter Ti
DEAR SIR:—I understand teat our very
sage School Trustees have seen fit to engage
our young citizen Mr. G. Tom as head
teacher of onr public schools. Now I have
no fault to find wit% Mr. Tom, but surely
the very first requiade in a head of our
school, Is being a married man, Five or
six lady teachers cannot well be controlled
or directed by an unmarried young man,
I think 11 10 a most gross mistake on the
part of the Trustees—so gross that I could
not credit the rumor at first. I hope the
Board will re -consider their appointment
before they are more loudly denounced.
I am yours respectifullv,

Mr. John Dixon. of Thor old Township,
near Allanburg, Welland County, thinks
that he has a horse quite able to justify
his owner's claim of the largest horse in
the world. The animal is a Perch° ron,
four years old, and stands 20 hands high.
Rio weight is 2,200 pounds and his
measurements around the arm, 32 inches;
etifle, 32 inebes ; girth 7 feet 6 Mellen long.
Teis immense horse is called General
Braddook, and was raised by his present
owner.
The report recently cabled that the Queen
wat considering a trip to Amerioa has
neither been denied or affirmed. She has
for many years wished to take such a trip,
but, o iing to counsel of her advisers, poste
poned the trip from time to time. The
fact that the Queen is now inclined toward
visiting Ireland and that the rumored trip
to America has not been denied, is oreating
mucb talk throughout the kingdom. How-
ever. nothing definite oils been announced,
and it may be taateafter all her majesty will
conclude To let Ireland and America alone
and swing up the Mediterranean in one of
her magnificent yachts.
A few weeks ago, a Milverton man, who
has beeu for some time working at his trade
of bricklaying at Stratford, had 9200
stolen from his trunk in his bedroom at
home in Milverton. He reported the mat-
ter to the city police who cautioned him
not to say auything about the matter till
they heard from him. A few days after he
returned to the po)ioo office and told them
that they need not take any further steps,
because he had consulted a soothsayer who
told him that the money would be put back
in three days. When he came back again
he told the chief that be had set up for two
nights to watch, but saw nothing. On the
third night ho fell asleep and when he
awoke the ladder that had been standing
beside the house was gone and opening the
trunk he found the money in it. When
tbe chief heard thia tale he turned his off

To the Editor of the Exeter Ttittee,
To those who are antleipating a pleasuie
trip and recuperating in body werild certain
ly recommend a trip up Me laktis to
Mackinac Island. We have just returned,
from this delightfel trip and can bear
others out in their testianony;
We sailed from ;Detroit in the "City of
Alpena" one of the Detroit and Cleveland '
Steam Navigation Co'ra boate,—the largest '
boats running on the upper lakes, Any-
one visiting the upper lakes should take
one of this line of boats as they are equip-
ped in every way for solid comfort. They are
roomy side.wheelers and propelled by the
Clyde paterned feathering wheels, which
develop great speed.
After leaving Detroit we call at different
places along the river and finelly arrive at
Port Huron. Leaving Port Huron. we pro-
ceed to Sankt°. Our next stop is at Sand
Beach, a fine little place supported by ,the
farming community. We next call at •
Oscoda, a town noted for ite lumber trade. '
We next call at Alpena, a very :fiue town.
We then proceed to,Oheboygan, which has
a large lumber trade: After a few hours'
sail we reach Bois Blanc Island and then
Mackinac: Island looms up in the diatanoe;
We soon reach the dock and the load of
human freight alight. The island is- a
a novelty. The old Indian legends possess
indiscribable fascination. Even the winds
which rustle throngh sthe trees seemto
speak of a raoe of departed braves, Afia

one of the fpurest, dryest, clearest and I
most delightful of atmospheres. The
island is a mass of ealeeroua rook rising
from the bed of Lake Huron and reaohing ,
a height of more than three hundred, feet
above the water. The island ia cavernous
in places and in these ancient -Indians *ere
wont to place their dead. The villas
which is sitnated at the foot of thin
e bluff
is a very fine place. The island received
its name from the Indians. The old.
legend relates that a large -numbeeof these
people were once assembled at Sti.Ignance
and while gazing at the rising alba .sun
during the great Manitou they beheld the
island suddenly rise up from the water ••
assuming the form of a large turtle ; hence
they gave it the present name. According .
to Indian mythology this island is the •
birthplace of the Indian god of waters,,
hence it is regarded by them by a species
of veneration. Having made a circuit of
the town we make our way up to Porta
Mackinac ,which was built by the English
nearly a century ago. It th now garrisoned
by a small company of U. S. troops. There
are several buildings at the fort and on the
walls are the block -houses where so many
took refngeshoring thestrouble Qf 1814, .
Half a mile to the rear of Fort Meelanao
isiFort Homes. This was builtlioon after
the British captured the port in 1812.
Eaoh citizen was compelled to give three
days' work towards its construction. We '
understand some nine hundred acres of the
Island have been set apart to the public as
national park. Nothing has been done to-
wards the improvement of tne park so far.
We next visit the overhanging _cliff known
as "Robinsons Folly." After the removal
of the Fort to the island Capt. Robertson,
who then commanded the post, had a su.ni-
mer-house upon this cliff. 'This soon be-
came a place of frequent resort for himself .
and his brother officials. After a few
years by the action of the elements ,a
portion of the cliff with the summer -house
was preiciptated to the base of the ruck,
which disastrous event gave rise to the
name. A. little to the north of Robert-
son's folly may be seen a beautifnl rock'
known as the Arch of the teiatit's Stairway.
This is well worth visiting. A walk along

must be seen
to be appreciated. It is a magnificent
arch spanning a chasm of eighty or ninety
feet in laeight and forty or fifty feet in
width. Taking the road which leads to the
interior of the Island we soon find ourselves
at "Sugar -loaf Rock." Its shape is conical
and from its crevices grow a. few vines and .
cedars. In the north side is an opening .
sufficient in its dimensions to admit several
individuals. To all foncIof natural CIIIi0S1-
ties these two rocks alone possess attrac-
tions sufficient to justify a visit to the
northern lakes. Half a mile to the rear of
Fort Maokineo and a few yards to the
right of the road that leads to Ea,rly'e
farm is "Skull Rock," where Alex. Henry
was secreted by the Chippewa Chief..
Two miles west of the village and Port is
Early's farm, Thio farm consists of a sec-
tion of land and produces annually large
quantities of hay and vegetables. Here
are to be seen the old hattle-groned and
the Indian burying.ground. Following the
road throiigh the farm we soca find our-
selves at the "13ritieh Landing" where Capt
Roberts landed in 1812. Near the north-
westeru point of the island is Soott's cave
Next we visited a cavernous rook kniawn as
the "Devil's Kitchen." A. few yards from
this rock is the fatnous "Lover's Leap,"
The guide who st000mpanied us related the
