The annual fall show of the South
Huron Agricultural Qcietyn connec-
tion with the Step
Branch Society, wags It
Thursday and Yriday-las
day was fair, bit the rod
aud the weather a little gloomploo
the show in the insidedepartment
not so good as it should have
There was much to admire, ketvevity
the hall. The display of apples, pe
grapes and other fruits could scarcely
rivalled by any other County shova
the Province. In domestic mannfactu
there was a handsome exhibit, and a
display of grain, there being wha
somewhat rare this year, some excell
samples offall wheat. , The ladies'
partment in rear of the hall was the gr
attraction. The dazzling array of fa
articles,• both useful and ornamen
presenting a charoaing eight. Much t
and painstaking labor must have b
spent by the ladies in preparing arti
for the show, and the -beautiful exhi
their combined efforts made, lamplY
paid them for their trouble. ,In Ber
wool work there were over a dozen spec
metre shewn, all beautiful end some in
cate designs. The hall was complete
encircled with beautiful specimens
ladies' industry in the shape of quil
•coverlets, &c., foreshadowing the requi
ments of our fierce Canadian win
while the many fancy articles beggar
scription.
Friday the weather was wet and d
agreeable until abont noon. It wo
require something more than rain a
mud, how -ever, to frighten the staun
farmers of South Huron, as well as th
enterprisiug wives and daughters'or p
vent them from turning out to th
annual show with their exhibition
horses, cattle, sheep, dairy produce &
of which they have just reason lo
proud. South Huron has gained a rep
tation abroad for her fine live stock, a
it must be sustained at home. Befo
10 o'clock on Friday morning the peo
came rushing into town and at 12 etcl
Exeter was all commotion and bust
It is sepposed that there never was
larger crowd in town on any other occ
Sion.
The display of horses was excelIen
cattle pretty fair, while that of she
and hogs could not be eclipsed by a
other county show in the Province. W
will not attempt to describe.any or all
the fine animals shown- as nearly eve
farmer knows better 'than We do t
good qualities of his neighbor's stoc
The vehicles and roots were shown in
shed on the grounds, which h
been erected this bummer for that pu
pose. Thus furnishing a protection fro
inclement weather, to the finely finish
vehicles brought on the ground, while
the absence of the roots from the main
building leaves more space for exhibiting
other articles. Not a little was added
to the attraction of the show by the
exhibition of several lady and. gentlemen
equestrians. The ladies, three of who
were from Ailsa Craig and one from
Parkhill, were all graceful riders, and‘
prizes were given to each; but through
the inadvertency of the judges keeping
no account ofa it in their books, we are
unaThe to furnish the names. The
Exeter cornet band was on the ground in
the aftenaoon of the second day, and dis-
coursed sweet music to the shiverin
crowd.
So far as we could leana, some where,
about $425 were taken at the gate by
the Society.

The Painless Death,
Prof. Tyndall, in a recentHoliclity lec-
ture at the Royal Institution, peaks
-;
thus of the painless death by elect icity :
- "Franklin was twice struck se selest
e
by the shock. He afterward sent the
discharge of two large jars throe h six
robust men; they fell to thground and
"got up again without knowing what had
happened , they -heither heard nor felt
the discharge. Priestly, who made many
valuable contributions to electricity, re-
ceived the charge of two jars, but did
not find it painful.
"This experience agrees with mine.
In the theatre of the Royal Institation,
and in the presence of an audience, 1 once
received the discharge of a battery' of 15
Leyden, jars. Unlike Fzanklin's six men
I did not fall, but like them I felt noth-

"A Smart Man."
t The above phrase, is strictly d
. peculiarly one of American origm, nd
- though, under certain circumstan4es,
used comprehensively and as includ .g
men of the highest intellectual gifts nd
attainments, in its ordinary acceptat on
it would seem, generally to embrace o ly
, such individuals aS afford proof conslu-
sive of possessing business capacities of a
high order. Among the smartest peonle
on the face of the earth, therefore, shy
our caption should not be in legitimate,
as it is in universal use;, and why it
should be subjected to the hypercritici m
of certain ill-natured. satirists we wot f
it is scarcely worth while rhaps to n.
quire. To.our conception, t re 18, about
the monosyllable "smart," a fecundity
of acce' tation. The En • h word
"clever, though its functions corr s -
pond in a measure with our WO
"smart," is infinitely less comprehensive
in its adaptability—and as a substitu
for the latter, (in a hundred cases that
we might iraagine) would prove exceed -
eseseas-
ingly barren of effect. The term "smart"
ie specutiarly and emphatically a New
Eng&ncl-word—indeed, the descendants
of the-J*11gram Fathers up to the pres-
s es -
tint timitse*Old seem to have put to

Custer as 4, School -Boy.
John Ogden in 4 Ohio State Journal.
He was often in mischief and a:pebble.,
in the neighborhood and school. But he
would. never attempt to conceal the part
be acted. He was the "pink" of honor.
I never knew him to falsify. He was toe
brave to lie. He would not even attempt
to palliate his guilt. When taken to
-task for miseonduct he would -usually
say, "I knoW it was wrong, Mr. Ogden,
but I could, not help it." "Could not
help it ?" 'No, sir, I wanted to do it."
"But could you not restrain yonr im-
pulse ?" "Don't know; sir, never tried."
"But don't you think you ought to try ?"
What if 1 cquld, but 1 don't feel like
trying." His logic was overwhelming
at least his teacher had. to accept it as
such. ;
As illustrative of that impulsive brav-
ery which has east tae country one of its
most effective fighters, I relate Limn me-
mory a little incident that occurred' in
the neighborhood of the schooL
He and some of his fellow students at-
tended a country singing -school one
night. The young men of the neighbor-
hood had probably heard of his cham-
pionship in a fight, 'and, I suppose, wish-
ed to test his mettle, or perhaps rather
insult him in a sitUation where he could
not defend himself. He Wa'i3 sitting new
a closed window when a young man out-
side slipped up beside the'vtindow, and,
looking in,
made a heinous face at him.
The light fell on the distorted features
but a moment. The next irritant there
was a crash—a yell'of pain. The window
was badly spoiled—so was a bad face out=
side, A well directed blow from the boy
Custer had done both.
Wanted an Apology.
Early yesterday morning a car on the
Dundee street route encountered a milk
wagon driven by a woman about forty
years old, and the driver shouted and,
motioned for her to turn out. She re-
fused to leave the trackealscl car and
wagon came to a halt.
- "Wily don't you get off the track ?"-
shouted the car driver as he put on the
brakes.
"I don't like your way, of hollering at
me," she slowly replied, "I'm just as
much of a lady, as- the Queen, and you
must treat me with just as nemch courtesy
as you would her !"
"I say get off the track !"
"And I say I v,ton't 1"
He left his car to lead her horse off
the track, but she had a long whip and
she kept him off. lie got behind her
wagon to lift it off, but the whip cracked
about his ears again. .
"Will you git off the track ?" he de-
manded.
"When you apologize I will."
He was in a fix. His car was full, the
milk woman was stout and full of grit,
and he decided to -come down. He said
he begged her pardon.
"That's all I want, and let this be a
great moral lesson to you," she replied
as she turned off the track, "When you
see a milk woman on the track speak to
her kindly and gently, and don't under-
take to bluff !"

honest parents, went to see his sweet-
heart on Thursday night. Her youngest
brother, during the "primping interval,"
entertained the beau as follows:
"Sig says she's goin' ter shake you; so
she is !"
"Ah !" exclaimed the astonished. young
man.
"Yes she is; she's got you down on
the slate for a gran' bounce. she hes !"
"Why, how ? '
"Well, now, there ain't no use for you
to chaw dictionary 'bout it neether, cause
their ain't no discount on Sis—she's a real
old gal when she starts ?"
y goodness grac— !"
"She sez she goes out with you an'
tramps 'round jese lonesome as some old
married cow, an' when yer treats it ain't
to nuthin' but cheap ole sody water at er
nickle a quart ?"
The young man sighed and reached for
a fan.
"She sez she wants a feller thet's got
some style about him an' kin set up a
square meal ter his gal when he takes her
a gallavantin', she does !"
The Young man rummaged for his
handkerchief.
"I tell yer vvot it is, boss, my Sis ain't
no slouch, an' when 'she gets a crankan
her hed dad sez she grinds it wuss nor
our ole rickety coffee mill. She's goin'
fer yer', an' she'll tell all the other gals
ter shoot the miser, an' yer jess bet
they'll do it, 'cause they can't go back on
Sis—not much !"
The young man was clirabing down the
fp:Mt steps.
• Just then Sis entered, and Johnny ex-
plained how he had "Ariv' the ole dug -out
a big wabble."
But Johnnie's opinion, since his "dad-
dy" let go of him, is that, if he had been
Sitting Bull during the performance, he
would soon be sore in a different lo-
cality.
