The annual Fall Show of the above mentioned Society was hold on Grey Branch agricultural grounds on Tues- day and Wednesday of this week. The weather was beautiful on both days and consequently the number of ex. Minton and exhibits was largo. In the in -door department a better show- ing of roots, vegetables, fruit and grain is seldom excelled by the Pro. vincial or Industrial. Tho display of ladies work was excellent. In fact everything was of such a high order there could be no fault found with the whole display. On Tuesday evening the "Palace" was visited by rt large number of people who in- spected the articles on exhibition, threw grain, lialenecl to the program of music, &e. The Oonetitutional corset exhibit of D. A. Simile was the centre of attraction to a groat many, They have sold over 1,100 pairs iu the past 9 months which is ample, proof of their excellency. On Wednesday the attendance was large, the gate receipts being over $100 mgre than last year. There was a splendid show of horses, cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry. F. Beattie, 3. Harrison and W Grieve deserve spec. ial mention for their excellent die - play of poultry. In cattle Thos Ross made a large number of entries, D D Wilson and john Hewett made an excellent exhibit of sheep. David Milne, of Ethel, had a fine herd of thoro-brell cattle. The saddle horses were ruled out asthey did not stand 16 hands high. There was a notice- able freedom from "sharpers" on the gronnds. Two peep -shows amused a large number of the sightseers. An improvement badly needed is an en- closure for the cattle so that they can. not roam all over the grounds. The proceeds of the Fair will run close on $400. There were 174 diffe.ient ex- hibitors entered on the Secretary's books. There is the ground work for one of the beet shows in the County here but the "Crystal Palm" is too email an6 the Directors would bo doing a wise thing if they secured the race course and put up new buildings.

The promised earthquake has gone back on Wiggins ; tho great storms, the undulations of the earth's crust, and whatever else Prof. Wigging promised, have not boon fortheouling. Mr. Wiggins now tries to hedge. The notoriety for which he has !Arisen he has obtained, but it is of a kind that few would cart for. Mr. Wiggins had better attend to his duties in the l'inance Department ; he could there be of greater use to tho public than in appearing in the character of a weather prophet.
