THURSDAY, APRIL- 3rd, :890 OPAL HAPPENINGS. /fait Prospects. According to information received from all the best strawberry, peach and grape growing regions the winter has not affected these crops prejudicially, and the crop promises to be , large. The Merch weather in point of quality, has exceeded the expectation of the farmers. It bas been neither unduly promoted nor retarded. The prospects of a big fruit crop will rejoice the hearts not only• sof the growers, but of the consumers, who are every year becoming more num orous as the merits of, a summer diet largely composed of fruit are being ex- emplified, A Dangerous W6Apb7Y." The catapult is ae dangerous weapon in the hands of the bey, and, causes much damage. Besides breaking windows, they boconieso proficient in its use that they can kill a bird as easily as with a pistol, and numbers of the feathered songsters are slaughtered, in this way. It is. as clangorous almost to have boys tiring missiles from these weapons, along our streets as it would be to let thews fire pistols, and the police should arrest.. every boy found with a catapult in his possession, and parents should destroy all catpults found upon their sons, and prohibit them from. owning or using thein. checker Match, The following score is the result of a checker tournament )n the town hall oil Wednesday evg. last : 12345E 123450 F.

The Municipal Committee in the On- tario Legislature have adopted the pro- posal to have both auditors appointed by the councils in future, instead of one being named by the head of the Council; they have also decided that the auditors shalt he permanent officers and hold office during the pleasure of the council. It has also been decided that the state- ment made on December lush shall be an audited statement and tit it the finan- cial year shall end then and the second ant+it shall he done away with. To give more time to prepare this statement the nomination will be held on the first Aloe. day in January and the election on the second Monday.

James Livingstone of shin ton, delivered a very entertaining lecture iu the Main -at church, on Monday evg., his subject being, "Tho Human Voice." Afterspeakiug of various voices in nature and defining what is meant by human, thought he discussed the t`Voice" at some length as the road over which "thought" travels, The ear should be taught to recognize readily all the tnodulations of one's voice, and in order to promote the flexibilityof the voice we should breathe through our nostrils and not through our mouth, as thecoldairpassingthrough the nostrils is warmed before it reaches the throat, and thus hoarseness and sora throat will bo prevented. The voice is the air converted into sound and into articulate sounds through the meobanism of the throat and tongue. As an ex- ample of voice gymnastics to illustrate the flexibility of the voice he recited in different keys "How now Spirit, whither goest thouand then rendered with fine effect "The Creeds of the Bells." Examples of mimicry causing great amusement were given. One, the inci- dent of the two Scotolunen, a little fuddled, debating about whether it was the sun or the moon they were looking at which a third could not settle as he was stranger in the place. Another, "The reading class at school," and another, the incident of "The man di- recting him to the oat meal mill." To show the flexibility of the voice in im- personation, he impersonated, to the pleasure and satisfaction of the audience, Josh Billings, and Dr. Talmage, giving us the former's lecture on "Milk" where Josh made nut that the best thing that he had seen on milk was cream, and ex- tracts c from one of the latter 's lectures in his exact style, the lecturer havingheard both of these men. Here also he gave with good effect Shakespeare's "Macbeth after the murder of Duncan." As ex- amples of the power of the "Voice" as a conveyance of thought and feeling his rendering of Loncefellows "Old clock on the stairs" and the latter part of Edgar Allan Poe's "Raven" was the finest effort of the evening. Mr. Livingstone ranks high as an elocutionist and as affording entertainment as well as in- !truction, his lecture was one of the beet ever given in Exeter, ,and the ladies of Main-st church are to bo congratulated on the success of the evening.

Stower t of the big bankrupt store has purchased the store premises now occupied by him, from Mr. Chas. E,terott, in cousideration of $2,500. Mr. Stewart will remodel the building and add thirty feet to the rear, Great Spring Dress Goods sale now on at the Big Bankrupt Store, Mr. James Westcott has made au assign- ment of his goods and chattels for the benefit of his creditors, and has gone to California, we understand. He sold his 50 acre farm in Ushorne, to Mr. George Fisher some time ago for $(2,400, Mr Fisher assuming the mortgages. Tho Gananoque council found fault with the chief of police of the town for, as they alleged, not doing his duty. The chief was told to "hustle," and he hustled. Among the first of his victims were the reeve and deputy -reeve, who had violated a town by-law. • Mr. Chas. Tom has re -opened shop in Exeter, opposite the town hall, where he will be pleased to see his old customers and others who require boot and shoes made to order, or any repairing• done. As usual prices the lowest. The council of•Bayfield.is bound to have Mr. Kalbfieisch establish a planing mili and t oiler flouring inill in that village; and, having failed to complete the bonus, they now offer Mr K. a loan and exemption from taxation for a term of years. Mr: Kalbfleisch is inclined to at;cept. ' The Brandon Sim says:—" fir. J. D. McGregor left yesterday for Ontario, for the purpose of-purehasing cattle, which it is the intention of the firm to place on the Quorn ranehe et Calgary. It is expected that they will ship 2,000. head, following something the same plan of last year." The town council of St. Marys are de- grading the office of Constable, by making it one of the duties of the chief, to scrape the streets. We would imagine that a constable had sufficient dirty work to per- form without so lowering the dignity of. a' town, as, to have him become a comon scavenger. This actcaps the climax. There died in Usborne on the 1st inst., a well known and much respected resident of that township, in the person of Mr Andrew Campbell. He had been ill for some years of catarrh of the stomach; which supplemented by an attack of la grippe, caused his death. ; He was- aged 48 years. The other night, Mr. Thomas Shute of Usborne, when about to enter the door of Mr. Wm: Batman, he was severely bitten by the watch -dog. The dog sprang sud- denly from the opened door and evidently mistook the visitor, as it knew• Mr. Shute q uite well. The accident will lay our old friend up for some time, and defer for a while, his coming to town to reside. Reports of the condition of fall wheat throughout this section, as given by farmers.' from various points, are diverse Some claim the wheat is, in fine condition, others that it has "heaved" badly -the effects of the changeable ,weather.' If we are favored with an early and settled spring many farmers will sow spring wheat, and again try their chances. The fall wheat crop is becoming as uncertaui as the spring wheat ; and if both .fail to yield the farmer will have to resort to a new branch of agriculture.
