MY DEAR EXPOSITOR.—The past few
days have Witnessed a great stir in this
city, the occasion being the holding of
the annual county fair. The grounds
are beentifelly'located, just outside the.
western limits of the city and cover
about fifty acres. The exhibition build-
ings are of wood, destitute or all orna-
mentation, being more for use than
looks. There were 1,763 entries, among
which were 88 head of cattle, 153 horses
92 sheep, the besfrof these being from
Canada, 107 Swine, and a small coned.:
tion of poultry. The short horns ,made
a very good show, and the horses, as
might be expected Were above the aver-
age. There was a very. fine , display of
house and eat plants, and a most extra-
ordinary exhibit of textile fabrics,rnostly
domestic productions,the orchard, the
dairy, and the farm, as :to grain and
roots made but a very meagre display,
and. of machinexy, there were next to
nothing. The kitehen and the pantry
with 169 entries,gave very clear evidence
of the kind, of produce the mistress -of
the ClaSille delights in among our Amer-
ican cousins. Preserves, bottled fruit,
plum cakes, and all . kinds of goodies
made the teeth of the youngsters present
water. This reminds me, by the way,
that while you can get. cakes, pies, pre-
serves, and all that kind of thing ad
nauseam, although all of excellent qual-
ity at almost any American table, it is
the rarest thing imaginable to, see a
choice andwelt cooked joint of Meat be-
- fore you. The butchers often don't
know bow to cut their meat, and when
the housewife does get a choice -Gilt, she
is almost sure to spoil it by serving it
up with all the juice cooked out of it;
and floating in some abonainablb mix-
ture of, fat gravy. Boiled shoe;leather
or stewed sponges floetine in seal oil,
would in many cases be clout as pale, -
table and nutritious as the apology for
roast beenyon see on some table's in the
West. But to return to the exhibition,
take it as a whole, it was, I think, be-
hind au average township fair in Can-
ada: In fact, out here, as I said before,
corn and. hogs are almost everything.
Of late years, there has been a great im-
provement in cattle and farmers are
every year giving greater attention to
stock -raising. It would be unfair, too,
not to notice the vary superior horses
raised in this part of the States.,

and betting were among the amuse-
ments more attractive to many than

to the moral atmosphere of that re-

other days as well as fair days, there is
much to e,hock the seusibilities of one
accustomed to the social atmosphere ef
such a place as Brantford. _Ai I go to

ary, the streets are ablaze with the gas
lights of druggists, confectioners, . to-
bacconists' and other shops. I am sor-
ry to say that even many Christian

practice proves. But happi y there are

A WONDERFUL PROCESSII)N.
Last Saturday was a memnrable day
throughout the 'United States, as the
last day for voluntary bankrupts. There
was everywhere a tremendousrush to
the bankrupt courts to secure this last
- ehance of commercial reconstructide.
Six hundred meu iu Chicago last week
formed the granct procession into the
. opeu chaem of voluntary bankruptcy,
where they were to be relieved of their
level re ponsibility and out of which
then are to be hooked, uuencumbered
witli finaucial burdens. Traders,
nrokers, speculators, doctors, and even
clergymen were sanung the number,
They were on the Whole rather a jolly
and I was going to say myself, than
quotatiors from the dead. If one thous-
and newspapers, including. the Globe,
had a taste of James Goldie's experience
in milling for the last year, they would
soon change their free trade tune. .
