He announces his first meeting on Tuesday, A ugust.26th, a date which we fail to find in our calendar, and his three fol- lowing meetings are equally as mysti- cal. Dr. Sloan's circular dontained a couple of typographical errors in about a thousand figures; Mr. Farrow's post- er is muddled altogether. Of course they blame the poor printer for all such errors, but we think now they better stop chaffing on the subject, as one is as deep in the mud as the other is in the mire.

Deceased was of en- gaging naanners, but was sorriewhat ad- dicted to drink. He was a silversmith by trade, a native of Devgnsnire, Eng., and. had only been a few years in this country, and had. not amassed a great I deal of this world's goods A Deceased was about 40 years of age, and so far as is known, is without a relative in the country. A curious feature in. the case is that during his stay in Exeter, he chose to, pass as Thomas Pope, but for what reason no one appears able to tell. -.a-A. sad and fatal accident oecurrred itt Wingham some days ago. It seems that Arthur Thompson, an apprentice to Mr. Dawson, merchant tailor, was in the act of lighting the fire, and to ex- pedite Ms work he used coal oil,which he poured from a large tin vessel. The blaze from the fire ccmmunicated with the oil in the can, causing a violent ex- plosion, scattering the flaming oil over the room and over the clothes of poor Thompson, setting fire to both, Thorap- , son running into the street -with his clothes in flames. The fire was at once extinguished. The house Was Hat dam- aged, but Thompson was fatally burned. Medical aid was immediately in attend- ance, and did all that skill could. Sug- gest, bet to no purpose. He :lingered until Saturday morning, when he ex- pired. It appeared he had .been fre- quently cautioned not to use the oil in. that way. He was an exemplary young man, and his widowed mother willbave the syrapathy of the public in her sad. bereavement. ers in. Howick are some- ointed in regard to the qual- prin,g whpat.
