"Pull her wide open; here's a letter

just fly it. It is expensive for the rail-

The Apple Crop.
The report of Mr. C. C. James, Secre
tary of the Bureau of Industries,shows
that in all Ontario over one-half of its
best apple raising counties have suffer-
ed te an extraordinary extent, first in
quantity and now in quality. Along
the lakes, from Sarnia to Toronto,
through Essex, Rent, Welland, Lin-
coln, and Wentworth the apple crop
may be set down as also a complete
failure. As we go east through Ont
:trio, Durham, Northumberland, Hest
ings, Lennox and Prince Edward, the
prospects are greatly improved. In
the St. Lawrence and Ottawa districts
the prospects are fair; in the Parry
Sound districts some correspondents
state that the trees are loaded, but the
trees are few, The Georgian Bay
counties and the adjacent counties to
the south are, all things cenSidered
the most fortunate, as the reports from
Huron, Bruce a nd Grey, Simeoe, Perth,
Wellington and Waterloo are the most
favorable of any received.

The Toronto Industrial Exhibition
opened on Tuesday last, the Gth Sept.,
and closes on the 17th. With the en-
larged grounds, new half mile track,
new grand stand 700 feet long, many
other improvements, and the large
number of egcellent special attractions
provided, the coming fair will un
doubsedly be away armed of all that
have preceded it. The entry list in all
departmeets is larger than ever, and
the space in all the buildings has been
taken. The annual cheap faresand
excursions will be given on the rail-
ways. 'The attendance of visitors from
all parts 01 the country will undoubt-
edly be great.

Sonie Scotch parsons have a habit of
interjecting the persona( pronoun he
when not required. Instead of saying
the king has come, they would say the
king he has come. It is reported of
one that he commenced a sermon in the
following style: ''My dear friends, we
shall take for onr consideration this
evening the first epistle general of the
apostle Peter (chapter v., verse 8):
'And the devil goeth about like a roar
ing lion,seeking whom he may devour'.
Now, my dear friends, with your kind,
permission, 1 shall divide the subject
of our text into four heads. In the
firsgwe shall endeavor to ascertain
who the devil he was; secondly, , We
shall inquire into his geoirraphieal po-
sition, namelY: where, thedevil he was,
and where the devil he was going;
thirdly and this is of a personal char
aeser, who the devil he was seeking;
and, fourthly and lastly- we shalt en-.

never yet been solVed, what the deyil

be large; and better and more instruct
iye thane'er before. The prizes in
the speeding Contests have been doub
led, and the Directors have added
2,000 to the prize list. This step, they
felt was necessary to encourage the
farmers and,1areeders, who go to great
expense every year to secure their
stock and products, as nothing but the
finest seed and breeding stock satisfy
the present demands. This action on
the part of the Directors, has had its
