The total receipts from all sources in
connection with the Toronto exhibition
(just closed) amount to over 270,000, and
the directors estimate that the net pro-
fits this year will he from 210,000 to $20,-

Some of the best raspberries in the
market this summer came from the farm
of Mrs. Malicia, of Milton, who cleared
51,000 from five acres, with but four
months work. She paid mou for setting
out'the plants and women and children
for picking the berries, and then used
such wore in putting them on the market
in an attractive way that she found
plenty of buyers.
The Tara Leader tells of the death of
a little child in Bruce county the other
day ender peouliar eircumstances. Com-
ing in from the field the father of the
child picked a couple of burrs off his
clothes and threw them on the Boor. The
little ono picked up one of them and put
it in his mouth, and it slipped down into
windpipe. It could not be dislodged and
from tho effects of it the child died next
morning.

among themselves "a can nada" (there

anxious to inform them that their labor

frequently repeated to them the Spanish

The Brandon Sun says An exciting
affair °warred in township 9, range 22,
on Friday, 7th inst. Tho three-year-old
little girl of Joseph Bedford, section 80,
strayed away from home. The mother
was in the harvest field and saw the little
one on the trail but never dreamed she
would go away, but was under the im-
pression oho was coming to her. Some
time after, when the mother went to the
home, abs child was not to be found,
although every place was looked into.
Could it have been spirited away the
mother could nothavebeen more amazed;
but action was the word, and everyone
was informed and willingly left their
work and a search began, some on home
and ponies and others on foot; about
sixteen persons. Every slough was
sconred, houses and building overhauled,
and when the darkness of evening set in
lanterns tvMe lit and the search continu-
ed all night. It was bitter cold and,
wearied with the previous day's labor and
the night'e toil, some were tired out, but
moat of them steak to the hunt. With
the welcome light of day more program
waspossible, and a dog (the faithful crea.
titre) Came bounding with delight and led

Orn attention lute been called to the
fact that the employees, or some of
them, of a certain eatablishmen tin Brus-
sels are in the habit of working on the
Sabbath day. If this report is true we
have only one word to say, that is it nt,rst
ie stopped. In this Canada of ours Sun-
day is, or ought to be, a day of rest, and
although in 'Uncle Sam's territory the
Lord's day may be lightly respected and
very little reverence paid to it, we aro
proud to say the most of our people do
try tn remember the Sabbath. The law
is very strict en this subject so that of-
fenders natty be speedily brought to see
themselves as others see them. Between
working a. full 10 hours a day and a few
hours extra at nights, if required, the
biggest rush may be got through with it
sufficient number of hands. Tho injunc.
tion in the Good Book is very plain :
"Six days shalt thou labor and do ALL
thy work."
As exchange says : One of the huge
sugar refineries of this country bas lately
declared a half yearly dividend of six
per cont., or in other words, the share-
holders are getting at the rate of twelve
per cent. per annum on their investment.
Note shavers and money grabbers exact
that amount and frequently more, but
most people will consider one per cent,
per month excessive as interest on an in-
vestment in a concern which is mann
featuring an article of prime necessity to
the whole population. The increase is
part of the price the consumer is paying
into the coffers of the trusts with which
Canada, is cursed at present. Let the
voter and sugar consumer not forget that
every pound of sngar he buys is heavily
taxed to maintain a combine which is
paying its shareholders double the inter-
est which the law of this country recog-
nizes as the legal rate. If anything was
needed to show the evils of combines
this fact supplies it.
A. GREAT deal of the success attending
the coming East Huron Pall Show de-
pends on the people of this locality. The
Society offer a splendid prize list, prob
ably the best in the County, and as a rule
nearly every class is well represented
but there are dozens who never exhibit an
article and yet complain about what is
shown. The drawing card at the big and
little allows this year appear to be the
attractions, such as speeding in the ring.
balloon ascensions, rope walking, kc.,
but as we have nothing of that kind on
our program people must come for the
sake of the Bast Huron Fall Show. We
believe the idea of a few short addresses
from prominent agriculturalists is a good
one and was a rule followed here, now
obsolete, with a certain measure of sue.
cess. If our Directors would put the
horse ring in better shape and keep the
cattle in an enclosure away from the
crowd two steps in advance would be
made. The presence of the excellent
Band of oar town at the last show added
new life to the afternoon. Come to the
show on Thursday and Priday of next
week. In the course of a seneible article
on "Fall Exhibitions," the St. Thomas
Times puts in a good word for the local
fairs. Many farmers and others rush
away to the big city exhibitions and
neither attend, exhibit at, nor take an
interest in their local fall show. But
vre quote from our contemporarp : "The
local or country fair should be consider-
ed as having the first claim upon the pat-
ronage and support of the public. It
should be an objeot of ambition to bo an
exhibitor as well as a visitor, Often peo-
ple have articles and products worth
showing, but the idea of exhibiting has
never ocourred to them. We beg to sag-
geet it. If you have anything you con -
eider nice and good and likely to intermit
the public., show it. If you have a choice
animal in which you take pride and
pleasure, let others participate with you
in the satisfaotion thus yielded. It is
no uncommon thing for persons who
have not considered that they bad any-
thing worth showing to go to a fair and
find that they could easily have won the
prizes if they had only thonght of it and
taken the trouble to exhibit."

ing a bad case tries to abused the other

that what the defendant does not dispute

ers of Tun Poo: will admit all that I have
said of Manitoba and the N. W. T. to be
true, outside of what be has taken ex-
ception to. He says I did not know that

that he does not know the original inean.

rived in Determine on the 17th of May
and found water in the slough holes and
no mud being around, and on the higher
spots of ground that was not covered with
water the dust was blowing about, blind-
ing the eyes of the people. Es_ mud hole
and a slough, or pond hole, aro different
things. He says that I ant wrong in
saying that the town is built on the
company's land. I say that I am not,
neither am I wrong 111 saying that there
Were three or four wells dug in Deloraine.
I was only misinformed by men like Mr.
Young and the general talk of the people
that were complaining, who, no doubt,
had to pay for the digging or boring of
these wells. He says that, as for as he
knows, there are two ohurahes in Delo.
°rabic. I say, as far as I know, there
are none. I was standing ono day in Del-
oraine beside one of these slough holes
that I speak of when to man came to
town and drove his ponies into the slough
hole to drink. Beside this slough bola
there is a house that I supposed VMS a,
church and I asked this man what church
that was, and he said it wasn't a church,
but a school house. This load me to
further enquire (not for piety sake) if
there was such a thing in the place, but
no such thing could I find. Nevertheless
there may be churobes there. A house
is not a church. A church is a congre-
gation of worshippers, and the Presby-
terians may worship in the school house
and the Methodism in the old horse car.
I did see what appeared to be a church
at the west end of the Turtle monntain,
five or six miles off from Deloraine, and
only one settler near it. Perhaps the
people of Deloraine go there to worship.
He says there are two excellent hotels in
town, the Deloraiue House and the
Souris House, where ho liquor is sold.
I was in three haste there where liquor,
or drinks, were sold, and had. gambling
going on in them. There isa temperance
house there, called the Oak House, where
liquor or drinks are not sold or gambling
done, but the temperance hotels he speaks
of I did not see, although anyone can see
all the houses in Deloraine with one look.
There are o few houses ion the one eicle
of the railway track, about ten rods off,
and a few on the other side, about six
rods off, zig-zag to dodge the slough
holes. He says that in Bottinee,u the
sale of liquor is not prohibited. I say it
is. I have the statement from Mr. Ben-
net, the district clerk, and from the man
who keeps the temperance house in Bot-
tineau and others. Mr. Young says that
in the N. W. T. the sale of liquor is pro-
hibited. I say it is not, only when the
fifty cents is not to be had to get the
permit. Here is what the Calgary Her-
old says :—"The whole trouble in the
Northwest liquor traffic has been the
action, first of Dowaney, and then of
Royal. A prohibitory law, under which
any i?erson who could raise 60 cents
could get a permit for one gallon of
liquor, would be just about as effectual
a barrier as a ten -foot fenee, from the
bottom ef which 6 feet had been removed."
He says that I walked all the way, 00
milts past his place, from Deloraine. X
say that I did not, and I am at a loss to
know what he wants to prove by saying
Ibis, If I walked across Manitoba on
my hands and knees does that prove that
there is no pond holes and frozen wheat
in it ? He says that Mr. MoOnteheon

selves Mr. Young's yarn about the Win-
nipeg Free Press saying that Manitoba
produces 524 bushels of wheat and Da-
kota 16k. There is not many that will
believe this. Hero is what the Dakota
Eagle Boys :—"Immigration into Canada
from Europe thus far this year has
reached 64,000, of this number, 40,.000
have proceeded direct to the United
States," and adds, "comment Beane to
be unnecessary." Why did these 40,000
leave Canada and go to the States?
Why did there people not go to Manitoba
or the N. W. T.? The answer to this ie
that these people found out that they
had been lied to by immigrant agents
and such men as your correspondent, Mr.
Young, Yes, I have looked in my first
letter and found that I said that in some
townships I found only one gettler, and
not more than four or five in any, and I
say so again. And, sir, you will notice
that he soya he could take me into a
dozen of townships with not to single
settler in them. Your other corre-
spondent from near the same place says
that he can produce numerous affidavits
of settlers staling that the country is
thickly settled, and that my etaternent
es to one in a township and in others
none is false, and misleading to the new
comer. Comment in this cane semma to
be unneuesary also, I did say and say
again that the people of Canada, were
and are taxed to bring m lot of worthleos
people from the streets of London, ese.,
and I now say that I did not know that
