To the Editor of the Clinton .'fete Era.
LEXINGTON, Ken., June 7, 1584.
DEAR SIR, —I have been a week here in n
city of 20,000 inhaoitauts, the county seat of
Lafayette Co., oue of the best if not the beet
in the State, and I have seen the greater part
of it, with some of the adjoining comities, and
it is to my mind the best farming district that
I have ever seen. There are twelve macada-
mized roads, perfectly smooth, leading from
this city, with a great many others of the same
kind leading out of them, on al of which are
some pretty furors, parts being studded with
oak, black walnut, and other valuable trees,
Met like English parks, with handsome brick
dwellings. The lanais of the very best quality,
and,niostly in grass, the celebrated blue grass.
A few miles away the crops are more Tailed ---
fall wheat. core, barley, oats, clover, hem and
tobacco, all of which are excellent, Wheat
will be ripe in two weeks. I have seen one 50
acre field of wheat, tha fifth crop in succession
without any manure, that would yield in On-
tario at least forty bushels per acre ; clover is
ready to cut there is an excellent crop; hemp,
two feet high ; tobacco just planted ; corn well
advanced. We are enjoying the hospitality of
E. T. Hagyard, V.S., late of Peel county, On-
tario, who has a practise, I think, far better
than any physician in our part, and who, with
his son J. It. as partner with hien, is•higbly re-
spected.Dr. Hagyard has driven me out on
many different roads, and introduced me to a
number of fanners, from whom I have obtained
information respecting fa ming, etc. farms
are very high in price, but not dear, being from
580 to 5140 or more, per acre, but the houses on
them are costly and valuable. There are seve-
ral farms rented, mostly on shares, some for
Bask et from 57 to 58 per acre ; although high,
they make far more profit than rented farms in
Ontario. I have talked with two or three such,
who tell me, and I have theirstatements cor-
roborated by many others. that on farms of 75
and 80 acres they make 51500 a year, half to
owner half to tenant. Owners, of course, make
more, and never work themselves. Labor (col-
ored) is cheap; I think the advantages for feral -
ere here over those in Ontario are very great
indeed. The principal one is climate,' no stab-
ling stock of any kind in winter, out on great
the year resod, and only require, or are fed, in
the coldest part of winter ith cnrn stalks ;
some feed a little corn or hay. The next, the
cheapness and abundance of farm hands, The
bigh reputation of their thoroughbred and trot-
ting horses, which sell for fabulous prices, and
,horthorn cattle, which attain suelr'1ar;;e weight
without any stall feeding and labor ; I -have
seen several herds of three-year-old steers, fat
already on grass feed only, which will weigh
from 1,600 to over 2,000 lbs. in the fall, and
two-year-old steers, which will reach 1400 to
1600 lbs. in the fall, when they will be sold,
they are now fatter and heavier than ours in
Oaturii, are in 11Iay, after seven mouthsstall
fecdin••. Sheep, chiefly Downs, (some long
wooled) are profitable here,- and. their lambs are
selling and being delivered at from 54 to. 55
each. I like the farmers here well, they are
gentlemanly, respectful and courteous; Mar.
,hall and myself have been entertained by seve-
ral of them, at their homes, in the moat hos-
pitable and elegant style, such ample board,
with every variety of nature's luxuries, but
without our unwholeseme, Canadian pastries,
Yesterday we attended a sale of sixty newly
imported Jersey cows and young heifers which
sold for from 5200 to $500 each, and a dull for
5750; the sale was held at the celebrated blue
4o ass stock yard, in Lexington, and was attend-
ed by a very respectable and well dressed class
of breeders and fanners. Whenever we have
enquired of any of them regarding any subject
they take great pains to informs us. I.have
enjoyed, and am 'stili enjoying my trip im-
mensely. Have seen the home of the celebrat-
ed late Henry Clay, called Ashfield farm, about
:e mile frem Lexington ; it is now owned by his
• son-in-law, Major ItlicDouell, who has a very
valuable stock of thorougobred horses, one,
Dictator, brother to the fastest horse in Ameri-
ca, now 19 years old, bought this spring by the
Major for 525,000, and is there standing for
mares at 5300 each, limited to (10. WMar"es for the
-easnn ; with a full list ho will thus realize
518,000 this season for service. ' 1 havealso
seen the late Henry Clay's beautiful monument
in the new cemetery at Lexiugtou, with the
"soldier's graves" of hundreds of the noble sons
i.f Kentucky, Ohio. and other neighboring
States, the roost touchingescene I have ever
looked upon,• all in semi -circles, repeated many
times, a stone marks every grave, withthe
name of soldier thereon, when known. Lex-
ington is a prettycit theState,,
College and
lunatic asylm ae here. Marshall has been
nut every day looking at small farms for sale.
He is delighted with the country, but before he
decides where he will locate, which he says he
tvill most certainly do, he will see more of this
Hart. He starts from here on Monday next for
Knoxville, Tennessee; we are told that land -is
much cheaper there. We will write. you from
there next week. I would like him to live here.
The weather here is now most delightful, not at
all too warm. I have made every enquiry about
the climate and do believe it to be the best and
most enloyable, to take the year round, we
ronld find, never too hot or too cold.
Although the farmers here are rich and com-
fortable, and know to a nicety how to enjoy
life, yet I think they could matte more if they
•c'ultivated their land better. The worst plows
and plowing we ever saw. Canadian farmers
.•ould teach them impnriant lessons on farming.
The negro pnpnlation are more comfortable and
happier than I expected to find then*, and can
earn moderately gond wages. All the manual
%Nile is performed by them. All admitthat
they are behind in the science of -farming, but
they make hits of money and are well off.
Yours trttly, •ise+. UNEPP,iwAriue

"Justice to Ireland" is not a mere hollow
cry, for even in the matter of the demand
for electoral reform it is based upon sub-
stantial grievances. Out of one 'million
liousehnlders in Ireland, only some twenty -
live thousand have votes. The effect of
Ytr Glatlatone's new franchise bill, will, if
carried, be to enfranchise several handrod
thousand persons. This will increase' Mr.
Pernull's strength ceneiderably; but that
strength will nut he inimical to the em-
pire's interests if the rational wishes of
