The show of plane nd roots was unutually large, and the semples really splendid. There was ale a very good show in dairy products, and the fruit, consider- ing the geese , woe also geed. The ladies' depart ent was decidedly the best we have nhiat a show this year. The show in the,field was, upon the whole, in adv nee of 'former years.

There was an excellent show of cattle. In this department the improvement over former years was more marked than in any other, and we shouldjudge from the displaylhere that the farmers of East Huron ' are improving their herds very rapidly.

Is it any wonder, the, that the children of such parents beoeme a disgrace to themselies, a dis- grace to their parents end a disgrace to society? Not ab all. It iv, ould be strange were it otherwise. If we be- lieve the Bible, we muat not question the truthfulness of this aeatement, "Train up a child in the way ke should go, and when he is old he wil not de- part from it." If this tatement means anything, it means this, that parents are responsible for the training of their children. The pasiage just quoted not only demands that the child be trained, but also, tells how he is to be trained and what will be the result of this training. Comparing the conduct of the boys who were clrunk on this occasion with that which mast re- sult from proper training, we nust in- fer that the training of those boys has been, seriously neglected. S me are very anxious to obtain a pri1ijbitory liquor law, thinking, no doubt that all used liquor will be abandone . What good would such a law dolif it were not enforced? Them is a law in Iforce in Ontario by which any Iliquo dealer who sells to a minor may be p nished, but how often is it violated, tnd how seldom is the offender punished! The laws that are should be enforced, and if they are not auffioient, new one should be made by which order amid be pre- served.—Com.

The farm adjoins one of Mr. Situps n's two present ones, which makes it all the More convenieht to him. Simpson means business and is to 1 be congratulated on his purchase. Ithvivee Senvices.—Revival servi es are being held in the Methodist Chu ch miles east of Winthrop. Rev. klr. Baugh conducts divine service and or - ries on these meetings, and when iiot present, Rev.' Mr. Gilpin, late of Mi4ti gan, officiates in his place and labors in the good cause. The attendance thus far has not been large, but it is to be hoped that the two reverend gentlemen may yet meet with success in the cause which they so zealously labor for, and that there may be an awakening of the dry bones, and that many may find the • true road to salvation. GOOD THRESHING, — One day last week Messrs. William. and John Grieve threshed with their machine„' on the farm of ehe former, 1,170 bushels of oats in six hours and fifteen minutes: This work was done in the ordinary Way of running and with horse power. The oats threshed were the product of 20 wee, being an average of 58i bushels to the acre, which is a pretty good crop. At the current price of oats this, land would yield about 821.64 per acre. This is a good deal better than either Manitoba or Dakota oan do.

The plows tested were the old original Oliver Chilled plew, for which Mr. 0. C. Wilson, of Seaforth, is agent, and the Seeginiller Rod Beam Chilled plow, manufactured at Goder- lob. After a thorough test of both plows Mr. Malone decided in favor of the Oliver Chilled as being the lighest of draught, the meet easily held and the best to clean, and gave an order for three of them on the spot, one of which is for his own use and the othersfor two of his neighbors.

On Wednesday and Thursday of last week he fall exhibition, under the auspices of the West Riding of Huron Agricultural Society ad the Gode ich Horticultural Society, Was held or. the grounds of the latter. There w s a good interior -display, and in 1 ait, flowers, vegetables and grain it w aid have been difficult to fin a better exhibit at some of the more r tentious exhibitions. In vegetables and roots there wa excellent display. In fruit, there a splen did exhibit of apples, excel plums were also shown. -Pea were of fine appearance., lithe quinces were among thohest we have ever seen. In grapes the, display. yeas large, and the fruit presented soltuic °us an appearange that the tempati4i4 to lay on hands was very strong. While there have been larger Ais plays in Lacliee' Work, there has ler been better work exhibited. he quality of the many articles sh wn proved that fancy work is not a lost art with our ladies. There was a keen competition in grain, some splendid samples of he cereals being shown. The wheat ex- hibited was of splendid quality„and he whole exhibit reflected credit u on West Huron as a grain growing distr ct. The number of horses shown was v ry large. The competitionwas very cl o se in the team clam'', the judges be ng almost bewildered by the entries. There were some excellent thom bred cattle shown. Mr. Snell bearing palne in this class. He appears to h ve learnt the art of feeding to perfecti n, all his animals being as fat as could be desired. He was closely pressed bye Mr. James Dickson, who had h a *dozen short; horns, three calvesespec 1- ly coming in for admiration. H n. R. Hawley also showed some e thoroughbreds, his year-old b 11, Beaconsfield II, receiving much at n- tiou. The number of grades sho was unusually large. Sheep and swine were not so num r- oue as usual, and many of the for er seemed to be behind former years in quality. • However, there were so splendid animals shown, as doubt1 would be expected when Messrs.

So far, no other aid has reached. the ,sufferers than what has been afforded by private subscription from the town • of Pembroke and the neighbours in the townships. The County Council, I am told this evening,passed a reliolation to- day, while in session here, granting one thousand dollars for relief; but that will not be much among so many who are homeless and without food and other necessaries. Of course a considerable amount has been given by private parties for the relief of imme- diate necessities: but the winter is -new he rapidly approaching, and much is yet needed to afford shelter for these eo- pie and their stock, and if anything could 'be done !Or them in your locality, It would be , much needed, and I have no doubt it mould stimulate 'other municipalities which have escapedthe fire fiend to do likewise. It ie true that the needs in Michigan are ¶ great and distressing, but it is also true that' the whole Republic is showing its sym- pathy in granting relief, an4 I have no doubt the sufferers there will be better provided for than those of our own Province, whose distress is not so, well circulated and consequently not so well known. 'Relief cannot be more needed anywhere than in the townships which I have enumerated in this county and any funds that might be sent th the Warden of the !county, Mr. Wm.

DEAR Mn. MCLEAN,—I have received the enclosed letters, one from Mr. Dick- son, Mayor of the town of Pembroke, and the other from the Rev. Alex. Dawson, B. A., minister of the Pres ter= Church of Gravenhurst, in re to inquiries as to the extent of the d titution occasioned by the late fires Mu koka District and the Valley 37‘,. 13ri in of the Ottawa. As aid is about to be ax - ten ed to the Michigan Sufferers, it wo ld be well for us' to consider o r owi4 countrymen in the localities e- ferred to in these letters, and extend them a part of our liberality, as well to thoe-e who are suffering from a albeit disaster in the neighboring republic. By inserting the enclosed letters the Exposiecia, you will much obli yours very truly, H. CAMERON. 1 f , PE3IBR0KE, ONT., q4h, 1881. `MY DEAR SIR,—Yours crf the 30 h was received yesterday.

W. W. DICKSON, Mayor of Pembroke. THE MANSE, Gravehluiret, Oat. 5th, 1:: 1. . MY DEAR MR. CAHERON,—Yonr kind note came duly to hOnd. It was very kind, indeed, of you I to think of this district. Theetmount of loss and suf- fering from the bush fires has been 'very great. A large; number of fam- ilies have been entirely burned out and lost everything, and inust in some way be assisted through Ithe winter. I do not know the exact number thus left destitute in the whole territory, but in the townships adjoining, or in the im- mediate viciuity of Gravenhurst, viz., Draper, Ryse, Morrison, Wood and Muskoka, there would be Some 30 or 40 families thus kft without house or home. There has not been any public or united effort made as yet to aid the sufferers, hut something of this kind must be done. Some special relief com- mittee must be formed. Yet we coald not do half or a third the amount that will be required without outside aid. We will, therefore, be delighted to re- ceive a helping hared from you and others. Very truly yours, DAWS031. 1 • —Dr. McKay's farewell meeting at Woodstock on Tuesday evening was very largely attended. The chair was ooeupied by Rev. J. J.
