ALL ARE CORDIALLY INVITED. E. McFAUL, SEAFORTH. The Latest News. • Just received at the SEAFORTH TEA STORE 1 Toront0 Industrial Exhibition. (Frorn an coasional Correspondent.) Well, tae reat exhibition of our On- tario capital has come and gone. The city pres Iis Jubilant over the so-called great suc ess, and have heralded day by day, in 1 ige letters, the great attend- anoe—th4 extraordincey excitement— the wondrous sights and the valuable lessons to' be learned, &c., &c., till one is almost foeced to the conclusion that it has come up to the mark which the Poet Ke4ts dreamed of, "A thing of beauty," tnci, therefore, that it will be " A joy fpreyer." There is no doubt at all as to the great success in the way of attendance, ' fine weather, and the amount !Of money left in tbe city of Toronto ; but your correspondent, who, by the way, ts a farmer, and has looked. at the li!vhole thing from a farmer's stand -point, has very grave doubts in- deed in is own mind as to the results, and lessons to be learned. in connection with agriculture or agricultural pur- suits. Ai, peogramme which includes a ship tolls° bombarded.. and blown up— electric light=boat racing and horse racing (b g.pardon, "speeding horses" is the proper term I believe now)— hurdle racing, bicycle racing, &a, &cm no doubti.in' a holiday season, will draw large croWde, and may be all well enough in a way At least I am not going to stop here and argue against these things or about them; but I protest altogether against the thing being tacked on to agriculture, or associated with it in any shape or form. Keep on at this rate and it is hard to imagine what kind of men the next generation of farmers in Ontario will be, or what their agricul- tural exhibitions will be like. I was a good deal about the cattle, sheep and pig pens. Large numbers of staid, mid- dle-aged nd aged farmers, in many in- stances ccomperded by their wives, appeare'd to examine the tatock, atten- tively a d intelligently, but there was scarcely young man to be seen—young Canada would be found attending to the " h rse speeding," or surrounding the manifold Fakirs, who bled them iplenteoury out of their 5 and 10 cents, n exchage for giving them a chance to lose doll rs at a round gaudily painted table—s rike baby dolls with a ball—or waste th ir strength with a sledge beim- men try ng who was -strongest. If agri- cultural xhibitions are to prevail, and be the s epees they should be, and are intended to be, farmers must cut clear from tilt this extraneous excitement, and have exhibitions pure and simple, such as the" Royal" show of England, and the " Highland Agricultural Society's" shows j11L Scotland. pre.ssions of the stock, and agri- implements exhibited were g like the following: The Horses.—In the draught and general purpose elasees, were upon the whole very gool, although I had expected to see, owi g to the numerous importations this sea on, a better turnout Of draught. There were shown in draught 8 aged horses, A three year old, 6 two year old, and 8 one year olds. We have often had a morel numerous and better show of aged stallions, at Brucefield, as well as of three years olds. In the two year and yearling classes there wee: nothing particularly striking, with the exception of the two year old which was awarded the diploma. He was great in quantity but horsemen seemed to differ much as to the quality. There were some fine animals in the agricultural and general purpose classes, but .in number few as compared to what we have seen at a Pi0Viricial exhibition. Durham Cattle were excellent as far as they went, but I am sure we have seen twice the number shown in Toron- to. The herd shown by the Watt Broe., of Salem, were almost all that could be desired for all practical purposes -- smooth, tidy animals, and not overfed and patchy as too many of the Short- horns are when got uplor showing. One noticeable feature in connection with the Durhanas was the large number of bull caltres on the ground. This is as it should -he, and the breeders deserve to be patronized. One can imagine the immense good which will result from those pure bred males being spread over the country amongst farmers who only breed for the butcher. Ayrshires were far behind in num- ber. The Jardine herd was missing, and left a blank. The Messrs. Guy & Sons. of Oshawa, haele it almost all their own way here. The have a line herd, show- ing_a great improvement in late years. ,Herefords are here in strong force— not confined to one or two exhibitors as they used to be. Bridges, of -Shanty Bay, and Boyle, of Bobcaygeon, and one or two others, have gone into tbis thing, and show Some fine imported animals. The competition was keen, and I was informed that sales were readily made, and at good figures. Their claims are great as a grazing animal. Our friends iu the north of Ontario are sanguine as to their success in that stoney, rocky country. . Devons were few, but those shown looked smooth, sleek and nice as usual. There were but two exhibitors, T think. Jerseys have come to the front with a rush -.there being some 50 head shown. They were a curious uniform lot of little beasties ; but of their qualities your cor- respondent knowe but little. But if it is true. and those interested say they are prepared to prove it, that tbe cows yield from 12 to 15 lbs. of butter per week, and that at some late sales cows have averaged some $1,200 per head, then we must conclude that they are stock Worth having. In Polled Angus, G. Whitfield, Rangernont, showed some 16 imported animals of this class. They are certain- ly fine animals—solid, blocky and of good proportions, and appear to be all that are claimed for them—good feeders, good shippers, and the beef of excellent quality. There is a good future for them an Ontario. Mr, Whitfield also showed a few fine Galloways, also South Devon a and Sussex, and the greatest curiosity of all, 8 or 9 West Highlanders, A fresh stock of all kinds of Teas, japans Black, Gunpowder, Young Hy - son and Tea Dust. All teas warranted or no sale. Also New Currants, New Raisins, New Figs. A large stock of all grades of Sugars, Syrups, Salt, Coal Oil, Peas, Oats, Flour, Shorts, Bran, Oat- ineal, and a large stock of all. kinds of dell tea seta in'China, colored and white stoneware, all of the beet quality. These goods will be sold at the lowest possible prices. A call is solicited. Come one, Come all, and get the worth of your money. Oatmeal exelaanged for oats. A. G. AULT, Successor to Ault & McClean.

What theu future in Ontario may be I cannot even guess. It was seldom one could get a good look at them for the crowd which continu- ally surrounded them. ' In Sheep, Cotswolds were a fine show, Messrs. Madre and Arkell starving some 30 head of this year's importations—some of them prize winners at the Royal, England. A few fair Linpolns were to be seen, and Leicester*: were very good, Kelly, Summers, Whitlaw and Oliver being the. principal exhibitors. Of Sonthdowns there was a splendid show. Arkelle Spencer and jackton had .each 'pens of this year's importations. Taken as a whole, it was considered by coMpe- tent judges to be the best show of South - downs ever seen in Oreltario. The ShropshireDowns were also a fine show, there being five or six exhibitors of them. Messrs. Bridges, of Shanty Bay, Spencer and Jackson taking the. lead. The five ewes owned by Mr. Spencer were first at the Royal, England, this year. They are splendid representations of the class, still the best 'pair of them was beaten at Toronto by it pair owned by Mr. Bridges. There were two pens of excellent Oxford Downs on the ground, the owuers of which I did not learn. The Downs appeared to create a great sensation, and as a general thing the visitors at their pens were 3 to 1 as compared to the long wools. As to swine, your correspondent has neither time nor inclination to go into details Tegarding them, suffice it to say that they were out in laxge numbers, and that Many of them 14oked fat, very fat, and about as ugly as ever.
