PLOWING MATOH.-The annual plow- ing match of the Usborne & alibbert Associations, was held as advertised, on Thursday last, on the farm Mr. lafark Drake, lot 18, con. 9, Hibbert. The day was fine, and perhaps the only un- favorable circumstance in connection with it was the somewhat dry soil, Ploughing is Canada's great industry, and should be one of her great arts, and although the number of competitors fell below expectations, and leas tan it should have been, yet the marked nn- provement in the quality of the work, as compared with that of lest year, at least in many cases, must bave been gratifying to all concerned, and espec- ially to the officers and friends of the Society. A keen and growing interest was plainly manifested by the large numbers of visitors present, amongst whom were many ladies, whose presence honored the event and dignified it, and who, doubtless, took it true feminibe in- terest in the work, and in the "men be. hind the plow." There were nine plows ehtered. • Following is the list of prize winners ;-Extra class, Jas. Bell, Wm. Delaney, W. H. Walsh. lst class. Men with iron plow, Leonard Butson, Mark Drake, J.

Her utterances to those round her "(Tying bed were full of plecid and unwavering faith in the lore of God and resignation to hie holy will. Truly it may be said a mother in Israel has gone. On the 17th her remains were followed by a large concourse of people to the Exeter cemetery, where they wait for the resuraection morn.
