G-. McDougall; J. Ps., charged by Mr. W.. S. Robertson, Proprietor of the Seaforth Cheese Factory, with having skinirned the milk prior to delivering it .at the factory. Th,e factory committee ancl others Were enarained, and the tes- timony was such as to clearly substanti- ate the charge. .The magistrates impos- ed a fine of $20 and costs. This case at- tracted considerable attention as it is the first of the kind which has taken place, and should be a warning to others who may be addicted to this dishonest and un- fair practice.

We believe Mr. Fowl- er's fernery is also doing a large business, but we have not learned whether he has sold an.y or not. Judging from present appearances, cheese is ging to pay very much better than last season. the early part of the day. Large prizes will be offered for all kinds of athletie sports and other games, many of whieb. will be found exceedingly interesting for the ladies, of whom there will doubtless be a very large number present.

In the morning about 8 o'clock he was eeen in Mr. McCoyni-woods, and. it was there the chase commenced. One shot was fired efter him as he was running away, but he was not hurt. He got away from his pursuers, and. no more could be seen of him until he was track -ed. across Mr. Riebard Manning's creek about three miles north. The huntsmen were about giving up the chase when he again macle his ppearance and was chased to the Clear nee near Exeter, where he was ourrouncled by eleven persons -with rifles and shot guns. It was then the sport eomrneuced. -When the bear saw he Was cornered he made an effort to re- treat south. Ile tried to make a circle and then the cannonading commenced:.

Greenway pursued him, bei g anle to load as he was running, and having his third charge ready, -- the do-gs were teasing him and he was maling some fearful leaps and would come down on his hind legs so as to de- fend himself,—when he looked round he got another volley from the Ballard rifle which brought him down, the ball ring between the eyes.

Though I have been only ten days in this place, ray health is much improved. since I came. I left Seaforth on the llth of May, and reached Raleigh on the 17th. I came via Buffalo, Baltimore, , Ports- mouth, Weldon and Raleigh. A ticket for three naonths from Buffalo to Greens - borough and return costs $36 In S. cur- rency. Raleigh is a fine place, beautiful- ly sbad.ed with trees, and has many fine residences. The land is sandy in that locality: it is adapted. for the growth of cotton, but is too ligbt for grain. There are large plantations of cotton in. the neighborhood.; it is now etbout 21 inches above ground. • They have had an un- usually late Spring this year, though they had ripe strawberi ies on the 6th of May, and cherries on tbe 17th. There be peaches in about a month. It is a fine fruit country,' there being apples, pears, peaches, apricots, pluins, quinces, nectarines, figs, cherries, almonds, grapes, strawberries, and other fruit in abundance. The fruit cop is good. this year. The portion ofi North Carolina I have visited is around' Raleigh and Greensborough; the land is rolling, principally a mixture of clay and, sandy soil, with loam in some places. The soil is light compared with that of Huron County. A great deal of the land is run out with bad fanning and continu- al cropping. If the best land in Huron were farmed in the same way, in five years it would not grow anything. The farraing iMplernents used here are miser- ably poor affairs. When the land is well cultivatedit gives good crops of corn, oats; wheat, pease and tobacco. There is abund- ance of good spring water. There have been heavy rains this week; there had been very dry weather before that. Since the war a great deal of the land has grown over with second -growth timber, which grows very rapidly. here. Lana. can be had from $4 to $100 per acre, according to locality and quality. Greensborougb is larger than Godnich, like most of Southern towns, beautifully shafted with treessehas two railways retu- ning through it, and has considerable manufactures.
