If remarks a caustic exchange, you wish to send a letter away in a hurry be sure, to write "in haste" on the en- velope, The pastmaster and his clerk will fall over encli other in their baste to get it into the first ms ; then the postal clerk will yell at the engineer: - "Pull her wide open; here's a letter that's in a rush," and the train will just fly it. It is expensive for the rail- roads, as accidents are liable to happen and the officials will not thank us for giving it away, but that is the way to get your letter through real quick, 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. Toronto's (vent Fair. 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. Excitement 111 p11Ves.

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.

The exhibit, promises to 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 good effecte' the entries in the live , stock department being far and a Way ahead of last year ia numbers. Space is all taken up in the main building and other buildings. .Tne programme of the special attractions has been is sued, and if everything is carried out as stated thl.terein, the patrons of the fair will 'have rare entertainment.
