SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, Sept. 23, 1881.
Death of President Garfield.
President Garfield died on Monda,Y
night last at about half -past 10 o'clock.
'Although this event was not entirely
maexpected, the annonucemeut of his
death created a great shock all over the
civilized world. No serious epprehen-
• sians were entertained by his attend-
ants until within a few minutes before
his death. He had been in 'about his
usual condition during the previous day
and evening and had partaken freely of
notirishment. Shortly before 10 o'clock
he RAF& into a quieksleep. In about half
an hour he suddenly awoke and com-
plained of an intense pain in the region
of the heart. In a few minutes he became
unconscious, and in half an hour there-
after he was 'dead. His struggle for
life was long and severe, he having al-
ternated, as it were, between life and
death for nearly three months. Every-
thing that medical skill could do or de-
vise was done, and every attention was
bestowed upon him. This may have
done something to prolong his life, but
all has proven tniavailing to stay the
band of death.
President Garfield was, in every re-
spect, a trae and good man, and bid
fair to make the best President • the
United States have had since the as-
sassination of Lincoln. Like his illus-
trious predecessor, he sprang from
humble origin ana was, in the true
sense of the terra, a self-made man,and
like him also ha -was .a wise and. good
r uler, and died by the bullet of the
assassin. He commenced life as a
horse driver on a canal, and from that
humble sphere, and unaided by any
save his own industry and steady par-
poi3e, he gradually rose until he -became
the first man in his great country. A
:more creditable record. he could. not
leave. His untimely death is not only
a less to the United States, but to other
countries as well, and particularly to
Canada, as the people of no other coun-
try are more deeply interested in the
United States, both by the ties of kin-
dred and commerce, than we are.
Hewever, it is to be hoped that his suc-
cessor wili pursue the same wise and
judicicus course that Presideat Garfield
had marked out for himself.
Immediately aftee the death of Presi-
dent Garfield, Vice -President Arthur
was sworn in as his successor, and in
the ordinary course of events he will
occupy the White House for the next
two and a half years.
The Michigan Sufferers.
We are glad to notice that steps are
being taken by the anthorities of sev-
eral municipalities in this county to
raise aid for the sufferers by the late
fires in Michigan. This is a most com-
mendable movement, and should be
followed. by every rcunieipality. The
misfortune which has befallen the peo-
ple of Michigan is almost unprecedent-
ed. Thousands of people have been
ren dared utterly destitute, and have
now to depend upon the liberality of
their fellows for the, means to keep
themselves and -their families from
want and even starvation. The fruits
of years of herd, ceaseless toil have been
,
s wept away in a few hours, and they
are left destitute and heart -broken.
Many of these people are Canadians,
and not a feve of them, are from this
°aunty. We here have reaped a bountiful
harvest, and, we may say, we db not
want for anything. Surely, then, we
can spare a little from Our abundant
stores to assist and encourage our
stricken and unfortunate fellow crea-
tures and late neighbors. Their mis-
t octanes are not due to any act of theirs,
an d nothing that they could have done
would have averted them; and even
after all the aid that they will receive
from outside, their- lot will be hard
enough, and their terrible misfortunes
will be long and severely felt. As will
be seen by notices elsewhere, the
Reeves of Tackersinith and Stanley
have called meetings for the purpose of
taking steps to grant aid, and we hope
the representatives of other munici-
palities will at once do likewise. The
Tuckeramith meeting will be held in
the Egmondville school house on Sat-
urday, the 8th October, at 1 o'clock,
and tee Stanley meeting at the Town-
ship -hall, Varna, on Wednesday, Oc-
tober 5th, at 3 o'clock.
SDI Jean and Lady Macdonald ar-
rived in Ottawa on Monday last. Every
person will be pleased to learn that Sir
John has very much improved in health
and that he will now likely be able to
devote his entire attention to public
business. It was the intention of
Ottawa friends to give him a grand
ception, but on account of the death
the American President the celebrati
Was postponed until after the Pre
dential funeral.
THE ENRON Exaosiroa grows virtuou
ly indignant because the Globe stated
that the Syndicate had an informal
meeting on Sunday in Toronto, wit
some other railway magnates. .Throug
half a column or more, the Exeosieo
comments upon this " disgrac
ful and humiliating anneuno
ment." The fact is that some nae
bers of the Syndicate reaehed Toiront
on Saturday night, respected the Sab
bath by not travelling on that da, an
resumed their journey on Monday

No doubt the Toronto organ puts t e
very best possible face upon the di
graceful proceeding, but even that is
not a very good one. Its apology ho -
ever, is more ingenious than truthfu
The correctness of the quotationl w
gave from the Globe is not questiote
From it we learn that members of th
Syndicate arrived in Toronto on Sun
day, not on Saturday as stated, an
that after their arrival a meeting lea
convened at the Queen's Hotel, an
that persons came from Hamilton ! by
special train purposely to attend tha
meeting, and that the party was after
wards joined by resident railway mag
mates, and that business was discusse
and transacted. This is quite di-fferen
from the very raild manner in which Ou
contemporary pits it. This is what we
eondemned, and it would look a gOod
deal better for a journal of the impor-
tance and influence of the Mail to con-
demn it also, than to try and gloss it
over as it is doing. As for Mrs.
Schmidt, it seems that her sabbath
desecration brought its Own reward,aed
:had the railway magnates met with as
summary punishment for their crime,
they would only have got their just
deserts, and most people would feel
more pleased than sorry.

did so, and, placing his wi e in his own
rig in front he got in besidO Miss Wig-

ed his own rig in front. Bardlyhad he
do e so when Miss Wiggins called out
to im that her horses were getting
axv y from her. He at o ce drew his
rig across the road in front of them, but
ins, ead of stopping they j raped on to
his vehicle the pole strikin him on the
lo 'er part of the back of 1 is head and
kn eking him senseless. He was at

The Seat rth Show.
I
The annualSho4 under the auspices
f the Tuckersmith Branch Agrictil-
tural Society was held on the Society's
grounds on Thursday and Friday of
lait week. This show, this. year, was
the first of the season. In some re-
spects it was rather early, and the in-
door department, at least, would prob-
ably have been be er in some depart-
mentsti
had the date been a week or two
later, But there st re BO many shows
now, great and smell, that it is very.
difficult to select d ys at the proper
season without coiijlicting with some
other. Besides, thee is a better chance
of having favorable iweather early in the
season than on towards the lat of the
show weeks. This Irule, however, did
not hold good on this occasion. The
first day was as favorable as could be
desired, but the second day-J•the day
that the crowd is expected -thee was
a drenching rain during the entire day.
In fact it was the first real soaking rain
we have had for months. It coramenced
to rain early in the morning and con-
tinued throughout;the entire day, thus
keeping back many, both exhibitors
1 and spectators, and. rendering it very
unpleasant for those who did attend.
However, even with this great draw -
.back, the show was a very good one,
upon the whole fully as good, and in
some departments better than in for-
mer years, and the attendance was
very fair.
In the indoor department the hall
was tolerably well filled both upstairs
and down. In fruit there was not a
large display. This is due to the fact
that fruit of all kinds is comparatively
a failure in this section this season.
The pears and grapes were good and in
abundance., but the apples were small,
although there were- a good many of
them. The display of roots and vege-
tablesi surprised every one. On account
of the dry season and the early date of
the show, it was generally expected
that the display of roots and vegetables
uld be meagre in the extreme. But
very reverse was the case. Pota-
were not remarkable for size, but
re was a large exhibit and the qual-
was excellent. There were some of
finest mangolds, carrots and bur-
s we have ever seen, and the compe-
n generally was very keen, while
kinds of vegetables were equally
good. The large and choice collections
of Messrs. Allan Hobson, of Hullett,
and W. H. McCracken', of Brussels,
deservedly attracted attention and ad-
miration. There was,, also, the best
display of corn we have seen at a show
here, demonstrating that Indian corn
can be g -own successfully on our soil if
fanners would take the trouble to cul-
tivate it The display of onions, cit-
rons andi melons was not so large as
11
11
•
on some former occasions,but the speci-
mens Were, creditable.
In grain there was a splendid show,
both as regards quality and quantity.
The fall wheat anti barley, as every
person expeked, were good, and in
strong competition, but it must have
been an agreeable surprise to most. to
see such 'splendid samples of spring
wheat and peas. There has not been
so large nor so good a collection of
spring wheat shown for years. The
midge has done but little damage this
year and the grain came to full ma-
turity, and consequently it will yield
well and is a splendid, fall, heavy
fhple. The great pea enemy seems
alai) to have been much less destructive
this season than for three or four Elea -
sons back, and the yield of peas this
year, per acre sown, will be large and
the. sample good. One specimen of
small common peas was 'particularly
admired. It is to be hoped we have
had the last of the bug pest for some
years to come. Peas are a most useful
crop. The grain itself is almost indis-
pensable for stock feeding, and the crop
is so good for cleaning the land and
preparing it for fall wheat. So that
the forme* will be as pleased to get rid
of the pea bug as he would to be quit of
the midge or weevil. In this depart-
ment the 'straw grains exhibited for
• Mr. Rehill's Eipecial prize made a very'
attractive and pleasing display Mr. S.
Dickson had also pn exhibition samples
of wheat and oats, and native grasses,
which he had taken with him from the
Northwest. The grains were all in the
head withl the straw attached. I The
wheat waanot any better, and prob-
ably not so good, as that grown in' 'On.-
tario, but the oats appeared as if they
would give,a very large yield, the heads
being of immense size.
The display of dairy products was
the smallest we have seen at a Seaforth I
show. This was due to the recent I
t
warm, dry weather and the scarcity of
good water for gows. In fact, for a
month or more, it was almost impossi-
ble to make butter, and it was only
those who were most favorably situ-
ated that dare venture. Inthorne made
bread there was an unusually large
display anol some very fine samples:
In ladies' work there was a very nice
display. Among the quilts was notice-
able one re, e and handsome specimen.
This was 4.1ad.e of silk and contained
12,100 piec s, and was made during the ,
present se son by Mrs. Laidlaw, of
Seaforth, a Jady 70 years of age. The
skill and p ience required. to produce
such a han some and intricate piece of
needle-wor must have been not a
little. It • as much and deservedly
admired. In this department oleo
Were a coupe of very handsome and.
varied colle biota of fancy needle -work,
besides ma y good single sped/hens,
and the us 1 collection of Berlin wool
and other my work, which always
does so mue to add to the interest and
attractive s of a show room. In the
fine arts, . George Stewart, of Ben -
miller, wa bout the only exhibitor.
He had se ral very good crayon and
pen eketche , which show him to bel an
artist of no mean merit. Among the
miscellaneo s displays we noticed a
very handso e and tastefully arranged
case of gol pens and penholders !ex-
hibited by r. C. W. Papst, also a col-
lection of b antiful wall papers of the 1
richest and most tasty designs, while
Mr. C. L. P st had a very nice display
of silverwa e, and Mr. Jamiesona
varied collec ion of carpets and •clots,
while the m nufactory department Was
well represe ted by Mr. A. G. VanEg-
mond. Mr. John Walker was on hand,
as usual, wi h a couple of cases. of y
stuffed bird , evhich were varied in B
• character an looked as natural as life.
As a taxider ist Mr. Walker has few S
superiors. essrs. Broadfoot & Box o
were the onl furniture manufacturers T
represented. They, however, had a T
really beanti al display. Their parlor
set was good, but their bedroom set was r
as handsorcte as we have ever seen, and H
we doubt if i will have its equal at the S
Provincial E -hibition. Mr. George E. a
Henderson, a so, had a, creditable dis- P
play of hztrrie s and 'saddlery, while the H
musical inst nineht department was
well repres nted; by Messrs. Scott
Brothers, aac Mr. Jas. Watson had a ra
monopoly of the sewing machine ag
business. Mr Webber, of Egmondville, ht
I
also exhibite a very handsome collec-
tion of potter ware, which. was credit- J,
able to his es ablishment. li
In the field owing to the rain, the N
animals and rticles did. not show to 18
such good aolvantage as they would m
have done uror er more favorable cir-
cumstances. There was a large and bo
splendid sho •• of poultry of all kinds. in
The collectio . embraced some rare and OD
many hands° ee birds. There was a un
very good sho of hogs. Several of the So
a,nimals had he appearance of being
well bred an well oared for. The
show of sheep was_not so large as in
some former , ears, although there were
still, some good animals. In cattle
there was an excellent show. It is
very rarely t at so many really fine
animals are sen on a local show ground.
The well kno n heeds of Messrs. Dick-
son, Sproat, arnochan, Russell, El -
coat and othe s were represented, and
the competitien etween them was
pretty keen. I he ne animals of the
Messrs. Snell •ere, missed this year.
In horses ther was, without exception,
the largest an a best show we have seen
in the county If Htiron. Nearly every
claes was well ailed, and the corapeti-
tam was keen "ndeed. The tWo three
yeer old impo ted fillies, the property
of Messrs. Me regor and McIntosh, of
Brucefield, we e in I the ring and at-
tracted much dmiration, as. did also
the handsorn iraported Clydesdale
mare belongin to Mr. Stewart, of Hib-
bert. Beside these the following
among othe - ell known horse breed-
ers were ar:e Sxbibitors : Messrs.
John Mc llan, Hugh Love, John
Malone, Thos. McMichael, Wm. Fin-
layson, Thos. Robertson and others
whose names do not now occur to us.
The display of horses was alike credit-
able to the -exhibitors, the show, and
the county. The display of implements
was not so 1 ge as usual. Messrs.
Stewart & Cambell, 0. C. Willson, B.
Newell and D yid Walker, Jr., were
the principal exhibitors. There was
not a single ve icle on the ground. The
Messrs. Pillmae had several prepared
to take out, but were prevented doing
so by the wet and no doubt many
others were deterred by the same cause.
The pump into est was represented by
Mr. Noble CI Messrs. Robertson &
Company, and r. Alex. Murchie, the
last two having iroia pumps.
There were, oubtless, many articles
of merit which might have been no -
,will be found on the 6th pe of this
1
ticed, but a ace forbids more extended
remark. 1' r further particulars we re-
fer our rea Ts to the prize list, which
define. ,
. , Thei Clinto.n. ShoW.
The Hullett Society% Show was held
at Clinton on Monday and Tuesday
last. The weather on both days wee -
most favorable. The show, taken upon
the whole, was the best ever held in
Clinton. The hall display, which waS
very neatly 4tid attractively arranged,
presented a i very pleasing appearance.
The display Ofladies' work was really ex-
cellent. In roots and vegetables, also,
there was a very fine show, both as re-
gards quality and quantity. Fruit was
somewhat . short, and grain, although
good, did net make a large display.
Dairy products, considering the season,
were well represented, while there was
a considerab e profusion of the numer-
ous smaller articles which go to make
up an. attrctive hall show. In the
, field there w a a good display of agri-
cultural iraplements' and carriages. In
sheep, pigs aid cattle, competition was
not v607.11E30, but there were in each of
these deems !many geed and valuable
animals, 'BA fi,n well be judged from
the napaes of the prize takers as they
appear1n1 the honor list. The biggest
- show of I all, however, was in horses.
The heavy dr tight class was not so
largely:repres nted, but in the general
purpose and road and carriage there
was keen competition and a -splendid
show. I Taken altogether, the Clinton
people have god reason to congratulate
themselves on the success of their show
this year. The following is the

The Kind of Stook to Raise for
The “British Market."
To the Editor of the Ilitro2z Ex' positor.
DEAR SIR, -Having shown, I think,
satisfactorily, that it is to the best in-
terests of the Ontario Farmer, to be in
reality as we are ostensibly a part and
parcel of the British Nation, and. to
share with her freely and fairly the
changes of circumstances, and the ups
and downs of markets and otherwise,
I can only at present, and it =list he
briefly, glance at what is best to raise
and sell at the present time. We
made a commencement of sending
horses, and so far ithas beensuccessful,
but unfortunately for, the business,
while yet in its infancy, the price of
average working horses in Britain fell
nearly one half from =1876 to 1880.
From 1870 till 1876 a good farm horse
was worth from £80 to £110, The
same clasS of horses were down last
year to from £40 to £70. ' It wa S notice-
able before I left thii3 season that
prices were gradually rising, and
horses of this stamp were quoted at
the July Glasgow Horse Fair at from
£60 to £90. This is what we call a
"Heavy Draught Horse" here, weighing
from MOO to 1800 pounds. The class
of horses we sent to them hitherto was
what we know as "General Purpose'
suitable for drivers, bus', hacks, and
street ears. My attention was = called
to Canadian horses in all thoee posi-
tions, and they appeared to give very
general satisfaction,havingaireputation
for being healthy ancl durable. The av-
erage price of this class of horses to -day
is, for a horse from 1200 to 1500 pounds,
upstanding, clean limbs, with good. bone
and good feet, about £40. It will be
at once seen why there has been. a lull
in exporting horses. We have no
draught animals worth while to export.
What few we have raised in Huron, the
Americans have taken off at fancy
