Company is in a very flourishing con-

to pay any losses which may arise, with-
out the aid of an assessment. The
claims of Thos. Hueston for barn and
Weseley Hueston, for contents c'estroy-
ed by lightning on July 24th, were paid
to the satisfaction of the claimants, whe
in return thanked the directors of the
Company for their promptness in the
matter. So far this year the Company
has been fortunate, and unless the losses
during the balance of the Tearbe larger
than they have been for any two years
of the experience of the Company, there
will be no assessment, this year.

On Monday afternoon, as Isaac Carling,
Esq., was taking his usual, drive in the
country, and being driven by Ills daugh-
ter ;hiss Flora, an accident occurred
which alight have resulted seriously to
the occupants of the rig, especially to
Mr. Carling who is almost helpless.
They were driving along the London
Road north, when they met a steam
thresher ; and upon corning up with the
machine, the horse took fright, backing
into the ditch, upsetting the buggy, and
throwing Air. and Miss Carting into the
ditch. Fortunately Messrs Holland and
Barton, who were close at hand, caught
the horse and prevented its running
away. Mr. Carling was put into Mr.
Barton's buggy and driven home, Mr
C'arling's bugy having been broken,
The Cosgrave Concert,
The Cusgrove Concert Co., of St.
Marys, gave an entertainment in, Exeter
on Wednesday evening last, under the
auspices of the Sons of England Society.
There was a large attendance of speet-
ators, many of whom apparently appre-
ciated the entertainment. The perform-
ances of the Ross's and master Cosgrove
and the singing of Miss Cosgrove were
vo;y good and deserved the plaudation
given ; but as for the music there was a
superfluity and half the number of
selections would have been more credit-
able to the company, The music for
tate most part was very good, but being
so monotonous became more boring
than entertaining. The proceeds amount-
ed to sone $60, seventy-five per cent. of
which went to the Cosgrove ,[Family.
.t Correction.
An item appeared in the Teems last
week, referring to thesalt combine which
had existed in this county for the past
two years. AIr. D. Mills informs us
that, instead of the members of the com-
bine being dissatisfied and calling the
managers, Messrs Coleman and Right-
nryer together, the latter summoned the
manufacturers. Messrs. Coleman and
Rikhtmyer have boon controlling the
talo of salt, but owing to the scheme
being an unprofitable one to them, in
consequence of having to share the profits
with wells which did no shipping, they
decided to resign their position. A new
association, however. was formed on a
similar basis with Mr. Rightnlyor as
President.
The Clinton New Era referring to Dr.
Amos' coming to Exeter says : "The un-
married ladies of Exeter will, no doubt,
get "struck" on so good-looking Bachelor
as Dr. Amos, but they may save their
smiles, for he has already made arrange-
ments to take a very popular Toronto lady
into partnership with him, and will com-
plete theft= ere long.
Mr. Fred W. Farncombe, our genial
civil engineer, delighted the congregation
of the Trivitt Memorial church on Sunday
evening last. During the offertory he
played a flute solo—"Sweet Thoughts"
with ad lib organ accompaniment—exqui-
sitely, and with the feeling and expres-
sion of a true musician. Those •who were
fortunate enough to be present speak in
the highest terms of praise of his ability as
a flutist.
The Guleph council is about to pass a
by-law, whereby, after the present year
the School Board will collect their own
taxes. The object of this change is to
arouse a more general inrere-t in the busi-
ness and expenditure of the board, it being
thought that if the peoplepaid their school
taxes separately, and were thus made
plainly aware of the amount asked for the
purpose they would become more alive to
the importance of educational matters and
their management.
On Monday, the 18th inst., beingthe 3rd
Monday in August, the ruralpublic schools
were re -opened. The vacation in collegiate
institutes and in public schools in incor-
porated villages, towns and cities continues
until the last Monday in the month. The
Exeter school did not open, however, owing
to the repairs of the school not having been
completed. Next year, owing to there
being fiye Mondays in the month, there will
he a difference of two weeks between the
vacation in the rural schools and those in
the cities, towns and villages.
The Royal Templars of Temperance, in
a body, attended divine service in the
Presbyterian church on Sunday morning
last. The rev, Mr. Martin preached a
special sermon, dealing with temperance,
iu which were contained many strong and
convincing arguments; from the 1st verse
of the 20th chapter of Proverbs : "Wine is
a mocker, strong drink is raging; and
whosoever deceived thereby is not wise."
After returning to the hall, the lodge.
passed a vote of thanks to the rev. gentle-
man for his able discourse. The excellent
choir furnished appropriate music.
Mr. Frederic Archer's magnificent per-
formances on the gigantic organ at the
Alexandra Palace constitute one of the
most attractive features at that establish-
ment. He is, indeed, a representative
artist of the highest possible type.—The
A Moan Act.
One evening last week some evil mind-
ed youths entered Mr. Rd. Manning's
premises and carried off a new and
handsome lawn magnet) or tent. It
was dragged for several squares and left
in the ditch, very much torn and broken.
There was nothing clever in the per-
formance of the trick, and in fact a
person who would do the like has not a
vestige of pride in his make up, and is
capable of committing one of the most
heinous crimes. It is a shame that
people are thus prevented from beautify-
ing their premises, and if the persons
addicted to destroying everything of
beauty that meets their eye, would stop
to consider that a considerable loss of
money is entailed, and that they them-
selves would not care for a similar treat-
ment, they might overcome their devil-
ish disposition.

A New -Apple Borer.
A new species of worm has made its
appearance in this section this suminer,
and is destroying fruit trees to a far
greater extent than any of its associates.
It not only attacks the apple, but eats
the leaves; and after it has stripped a
limb, it constructs a large web in which
it breeds a hord for next season's work.
If this destroyer is allowed to continue
its work for a couple of seasons, fruit
trees will be made scarce ; and in order
to exterminate the vermin, every owner
of an orchard or any number of fruit
trees should examine the trees carefully
and destroy all webs found thereon.
The carelessness exhibited by Canadians
fruit
in allowing their f rt trees too to ruin g
is a shame, and it is nothing but lack of
attention in the matters of properly
caring for the trees, that accounts for
the shortage in the fruit yield each year.
In some parts of the U. S. the County
Board of Supervisors appoint fruit tree
inspectors, whose duty ibis to visit every
orchard twice a year, examine the limes
leave remedies, and see that the owner
gives proper attention to any destroying
element. Iii this way the fruit trees
rarely die, and there is invariably a
good yield.

On the 28th of July last, at Centralis,
James Sando attacked Mr. Qu'►rry ,with
a hand grain rake and dealt him several
severe and telling blows. Sande was
arrested and bound over to keep the
peace. Failing to procure good and
sufficient securities, he was sent to the
County Jail. in the meantime, Mr.
Quarry, who considers the man danger-
ous to the safety of the public preferred
a charge on the ground of insanity.
Sande was released from the County
Jail on Monday by Itis Honor Judge
Toms, when he was brought to Exeter
and arraingod before Magistrate Snell.
Several witnesses from Centlnlia were
examined, the testimony for the most
part gning to show that if left entirely
alone, he was harmless ; although Mr,
Sando's brother testified that at tinios
]ie was dangerous and it was necessary
to lock all the doors of the house at
night. The magistrate released the
prisoner upon Richard Sando promising
to remove him from the neighborhood.
