A Serious Loss By the peculiar death of a colt Mr. Sam's Stanlake, of Stephen, sustained a somewhat serious Loss. At Mr. Collins' sale last week, Mr. Stanlake purchased a spring colt, paying the sum of $75 for it. The night being stormy Mr. Stan - lake left the colt with its mother. Next morning the mare was taken away, and the colt which was left alone in a box stall, in its efforts to free itself, broke its neck. .An Epizoo Among .Horses. There has been a sudden outbreak of influenza in horses through this section, and in some cases dangerous symptoms are developed, and a great many horses are laid up. If due attention is not ?raid at the outset and a veterinary sur- :soeon called in a number of the cases are liable to turn into a serious form of heaves and other trouble of the respir- atory organs. Horse owners should be on the lookout, and'. attend to any sym- ptoms of influenza or colds promptly. ommetted leer Trial. . woman named Elizabeth Spawn, of Zurich, was arrested on Thursday last, by chief Gill, on a charge .of threatening to burn the Exeter flax mill. She was brought to Exeter, examined and sent to the county jail to await trial. From the evidence it would appear that the woman, who is somewhat deranged in mind, has for some time maintained. that Mr. John Switzer, the owner of the mill, promised to marry her; and learn- Brig that such was positively not to occur threatened to make him as poor herself,byburninghis mill ill in Exeter North. Itis as well a charitable move to have the woman "sent up," as her lateens of support are meagre indeed, she having for some time lived in a aemi- starved condition, with none of the comforts found in the lowliest of homes: Ladies; if you require anything in dress goods, jacketing or uleteringe, shawls, +prints, etc, do not fall to mill and examine our goods.

Persons broke int, the south building of Bobier's egg emporium on Tuesday night, and effecting an et.tranee to the northern compartment, visited the office where they thoroughly ransacked things, They got, nothing for their trouble. The suggestion has been made that if the farmers would put their names on the fence or gate in front of their farms it would be a great convenience to parties driving along the road. This is, a good idea. Who will make the start? Mr. Win. Webster, one of the oldest residents of Exeter, who resided in Exeter north. died on Sunday evg. Ile was aged 70 years. The deceased was in ap parently good health until Tuesday of last week, when he contracted a cold, which resulted in his death. Union services of the Main St Methodist and Presbyterian congregations were con- ducted on Sunday last. by Rev Mr. Wil- son, in the morning in the Presbyterian church, evening in the Methodist church. Both services were largely attended, and the rev gentleman preached interessing and practical sermons. The anniversary services of the Main -at Meth church will be held on Sunday and Monday next On Sunday sermons will be preached by Rev. Jas.. Graham of Ridge - town. On Monday a tea will be served, after which a platform meeting addressed by Revs Graham, Russell, Martin and Fletcher will be held. See bills.

The many friends of Mr Thr s. Coates, of Usborne, will deeply sympathize with himself and family, in the death of their only surviving daughter and sister, Eliza- beth Jane, aged 12 years, which occurred on the 20th inst. Death reaulted from la grippe the effects of which had been prying on her system for several months, and which was supplemented by a severe cold contracted this fall. This is the fifth daughter Mr. and Mrs. Coates have lost by death within a less number of years, and theeympathy of the community is with them in this their sad affliction. r A 4S oNDERrtir.

The two electrical supply companies of Canada, the Ball and Reliance, are having a spirited time in Exeter just now. Some time ago the Reliance agent canvassed the town with a view to placing their lighting system in the various business places, and secured many subscribers at 90 cents per lie -ht per night. Subsequently the agent informed some of the subscribers that they were going to drop the project, and on the strength of which, we understand the Messrs Verity purchased a private outfit. Shortly afterwards a Ball representative came along and in a few days had secured some 30 subscribers at a rate of 15 cen s per light per night. Finking the Ball Co, meeting with success the Reliance agent returned, and reducing his price to meet the Ball Co's arrangement, is endeavoring to hold the subscribers originally pm - cured. In this the Reliance Co exhibits anything but an independent spirit. or business like tact, and the merchants are in a quandryover the matter. - The re- spective Co's are busily engaged showing. 'up the defects of the other's system, but we are inclined to believe that the Ball holds the reius. From what we have read and have been told the Ball Co's light is the better of the two. The St. .Marys people, : where' the Ball Co. have a .plant, and where care- ful enquiry was made 1>y the town,are well. pleased, and no earlier than one week ago, Ms. H. Fred Sharp informed ne that the people of Exeter were standing in their own light to accept any system other than the Bali. Major White also bears testimony to the same. We understand the .Ball has supplanted the Reliance in Oshaws, Belle- ville, Whitby, Tilsonburg, Aurora and other places. The fight will go on for a time but the Ball will,or should,ultimately win, since the Reliance people had sieni• fied their intention of dropping the pro- ject. The Ball Co. will positivelylace their system with their many subscribers. 0a01-knieliteS at 50 Ceilt0 def yud all wool and one yd. and a quarter wide, in all ;the leading shades. 1 In black we are showing an endless variety in Plain anal Brocades.

It is with pleasure that we announ' a to our many patrons that we have made arrangements with that wide awake, illus- trated farm magazine, the Ausno'.ia FARMER, published at Fort Wayne, Ind., and read by nearly 500,000 farmers by which that great publication will be mailed direct, to the address of any of our sub- scribers who will come in and pay up all arrearages on subst'ription and 51 15 bit advance from date, and. to any new sub- scriber who will pay $1 15 one year in advance. This is a grand opportunity to obtain a first -clans farm journal. The AMERICAN FARMER is a large 10 -page jcurnal, of national circulation, which ranks among the leading Agricultural Papees. It treats the question of economy in agriculture and the rights and privi. leges of that vast body of citizens—Ameri- can Farmers— whose industry is the basis of all material and national prosperity. Tts highest purpose is the elevation and ennobling of Agriculture through the higher and broader education of men and women engaged in its pursuits. The regular subscription price of the AauERtcAN FARMER is $L00 per year. It costa you little. From any one number ideas can be obtained that will be worth thrice tbe subscription price to you or members of your household. al1C and nee sample copy. Wanted.

It has been said that whereas every man some time or other in the course of his lite wants to sing "Auld Land Syne" not one man in a thousand knows the words. The second verse of ' God save. the Queen" has brought hundreds of thousands of loyal efforts to a moat humiliating confusion and conclusion ; and it is whispered that no two Yankees are found to agree upon both the words and the music of the "Star Spangled Banner" without a wees's pre., vious practice and training..; Now that singing is being so universally taught: in the public schools we inay look for better things in the rising generation' What beans are to Dent, Essex and El- gin, turnips are to the farmers of Middle- sex, Huron Perth and other northern and eastern counties—a valuable crop. 'Hun- dreds of acres of turnips are used for feeding purposes,and everyone knows what great stock raising counties they are, and the only drawback raisers experience is - the want of a machine to cut them and lay them in rows.
