Sunday school.

The Bishop spoke of the want of proper
influence as the omen of much dtscour.
agamont to children.
Mrs. Woods submitted the result of the
recent examination of teachers and schol-
ars, which were considered satisfactory.
In the awning Mrs, A. K. Griffin, of
Brussels, spoke on "Tho Clergymen's
Wife and the Parish," The clergymen's
wife was under no contract to servo the
parish, and was not, therefore, in the
piece of the curate. Der duties would
vary according to her ability. All Have
alike olaitu upon her sympathy, but her
first duty was to herself and family. The
ideal Christian home should be found in

Fall Fair Exhibits,'
To tiio Editor of T0R PosT :
DEAR Sm,—Will you kindly inform me
Jo where among the rules and regulations of
our Pall Pair yon find that an "Ethibit-
tt or must not buy or borrow exhibits from
. their neighbors" es applying to the Indies'
department. Rule No.2 says, "All stook
exhibited must be the bona fide property
of exhibitor," and Rule No. 9 says, "All
fruit shown must have been grown by
exhibitor," which are all the references
along that line, and the ladies' work
comes under neitber of these I am sure,
and to my kuowledge it is there the
greatest trouble is. Of course I do not
think this is right. I think an exhibitor
should exhibit nothing for competition
excepting her own handiwork. But how
is it going, to be remedied ? These people
wlto exhibit from place to plane (to fill
their purse, as of course that is their ob-
jeot in beautifying our exhibition) are the
very worst offenders, if it is an offence.
If there was a rule excluding any but the
exhibitor's own handiwork would it be
adhered to 7 I am afraid not, for, Mr.
Editor, I feel humiliated to admit that
even women have been kuowu to act dis-
honestly about smallpr things than a few
fifty or seventy-five cent prizes. Thera is
fancy work exhibited at the Fairs that
has been made in Japan, Germany and a
great deal of it in our convents, and be-
cause people know a piece of Japanese
work when they see it they object lo it as
not being worthy of a prize, but where is
the difference, allowing that the exhibit.
or did not execute it herself, whether it
was made by a Jap. or a Canadian ?
Again I noticed in one of our papers an
item suggesting that all the exhibits in
ladies' work should be new exhibits, or
rather that erbioles which hadbeeu shown
once should not be allowed to compete
again. This would certainly let the
fanny stores have that department to
themselves, as of course they could make
new work each year and keep selling the
old. And let me say that I do not think
ie is quite right for ladies who make fancy
work only fox the adornmentof their own
homes to have to compete with profes-
sionals. Fanny stores are nob allowed to
compete for prizes at the larger Exhibi-
tions. But about that 'bid" fancy work,
"The same olcl stuff that has been here
for the last ten years, eto., eta," are the
remarks one hears at our Show. Now,
Mr. Editor, why don't those grumblers
maize something that will wee the prize
from those old thiugs (new work is cer-
tainly prettier and brighter than old) and
then that old stuff will not bother them
again, Don't you thinly that it is only
fair that after a lady goes to 111e expense
and often two and three months labor in
the completion of a piece of work, that it
richly deserves a seventy-five cent. prize
until some one makes a better piece, and
besides I think there ere very few who
could afford or would have thefuolination
to make new work every year just with
the object of winning a small prize.
Counting honors fn R does not amount to
very much. Wingbam tried this plan of
excluding old work, but for one ye2r
only. But why bo partial about ft ?
Why let that same old horse or that same
old cow bake the prize Avory year ?
Would yon suggest that our farmers buy
new animals each year 7 I agree with
the Atwood Bee that the Fall Fairs were
never originated for the purpose of money
making and not for people boexhibit from
oue to another for that purpose, but for
the promotion of industry and improve.
mens in our homes and on our farms.
But I would nob like to have any poeson
or anything exolnded from our prize 148,
as of late years it is the only "big ley"
we have in town, and we want the dia-
play to be as largo and as good as pos.
siblo, whether it is bought, borrowed or
"stolen," even although it makes a good
many lose prizes Inc

"Consistency Thou Art a
Jewel."
To the Editor of Tun Pon :
DEAR Sno,.—The Goderioh Star and
some of the other Ooonty papers are
making very unfair °barges of nepotism
against Mr. Gibson, our member, and in
support of Hisao charges oite the fact of
his nephew, T. W. Gibson, holding a posi-
tiou under the Ontario Government.
The Star is especially ferveub in its zeal
for purity and even vows a vow "that it
will condemn the giving of positions by
members to their relatives wherever
found." I am glad to see that the Star
has experienced a change of heart ; it is
refreshing to see bow recent thee °bang°
has been, seeing that for the last tea or
twelve years, in this very County of
Huron, right under the Star's editorial
nose, there bas been a case or cases of
nepotism, scaro°ly paralleled is this comae
try. I refer to the appointment of Mr.
Farrow's brother and his two sons to
Government positions, and Isuppose hav-
ing no more relatives he . secured the
Bruseols.Postoface for himself. (I hope
he may long retain it, for his puny efforts
at tho last °teatioe could scarcely be
termed "offensive" partisanship.) A.11
Ibis time the Star did not throw a single
ray of light upon this matter, butt:was
dark and dumb as an oyster, but then it
makes all the difference as to whose ox is
gored. Cousisteney thou art a jewel, not
to be found in the Star. Mr.Parrow was
some seven years less a member than Mr.
Gibson has been, so that if Air. Gibson
had, like Mr. Farrow, improved Itis time
1(d made bay when the sun shone, five or
is Gibsons would now be holding Gov-
rnment offices. Happening to know
long ago from both Mr. Gibson and his
ephew the feats regarding the latter's
appointment, I van state without fear of
ontradietiou that T. W. Gibson never•
sited his uncle for a position, or to use
isiufusnee in any way to secure him
ue. Unlike many who lounge idly at
erne or loaf around the tavern, waiting
icawber like, for something to turn up,
r worrying the life out of a member for
n office ou account of their political
erviees, (which, by the way, are always
the most important, in fact the member
nvariably could not have been °looted
without each particular applicant's as-
istance) young Gibson, by assiduous
turfy, prepared himself for the peofes-
on he intended bo follow, viz., that of a
host hand reporter. Going to Toroth()

To the Editor of Tun POST :—
DEAR Sot,—Will you kindly insert'tbo
fallowing letter, whites was sent to mel
"Mr. Blashill,---As one who hes given
you many a dollar for meat I would any
to you, as a friend, that 1: think you are
doing yourself muoh harm by the action
you are taking about the Poetotlioe. If
you should get the robbery dorso of
get -
tin the Posta:We removed away, which
is net likely, tram where it is, do you
think the Grits are going to give you
their trade when there are two of their
own in the besiuess ? Let me tell you,
you will lose many a good oestomer on
the other side. A lennece."
Sin, -With your permission I will say
a few words in answer to this so-os:lled
friend. He says that 1 am doing myself
berm by the aotion I am taking in as -
slating in the removal of the Postoffice.
He °ails it robbery. Now, I defy him or
anyone to show where I have taken any
part, any more than expressing my opin•
ion, wbioh overyoue is free to do in pub•
Ifc matters. What about robbery when
the Poets:Aloe was taken from the centre
of our village to the outskirts, pausing
some to walk three-querbors of 5mile for
their mail ? I do not wish to take up
your space by answering a man who is
ashamed of his name, but what I do any
is that if there is going to be a change I
hope the Poatolfoe will be put in the
°entre of the village, where it should
have remained. The man who is asham-
ed of bis name is a coward and would
strike you in the dark. Thanking you
for your valuable space, I remain,
Yours truly,
W2I. BLAsarLL,
Brussels, Nov. 4,'96.
