A SURPRISED INQUIRER.—A Cou- ple of gentlemen with a horse and buggy were driving Monday even- ingahout 7.30 toward Clinton,along the Huron Road. The night was cold and blustering. When about opposite the farm of JIr. Alex. Taylor they overtook another horse and covered buggy going at a very easy pace. One of the first men- tioned parties while passing the rig that was ahead failed to discern any persons in it. And being humane• ly inclined, concluded from the carelessly slow pace of the horse that the animal might have been left op- posite some farm house and strayed away. This gentleman got out of his rig and went to the supposed derelict buggy and inquired, "Any person in this buggy ?" The reply carne iu a weak masculine voice, "Yes." The inquirer thinking the occupant was alone innocently ask- ed, "Who is it ?" A sweet femin- ine voice replied, "Would you like to know I" The humane inclined apologized and returned to his own buggy quite crestfallen, leaving the apparently young couple to enjoy their tete-a-tete as leisurely and hap- pily as the circumstances would permit. • PUBLICATIONS. We have been receiving the Chicago Dia!', In(ar-Orratt for the last two years. During a residence of several years in the States we became fair ly wellaoquaint- ed with the merits of the leading dailies there, and we are constrained to say that in all the characteristics that go to make a model newspaper the Inter -Ocean is away ahead. It is honestly patriotic, lht,roughly accurate, intelligently jnst, and an advecat-, of the greatest wood to the greatest moot -tat . Anti trent Ameri- nen and Canadian exchanges we letup that its influence ie fir-reaohing. It be- lieves in the employment of industrial labor in America instead 01 in foreign countries, just as we believe in fostering labor in Canada instead of abroad. It doe° not hate Britain er Canada, but loves the Uoited Stets more than either. It oontaina many object leeenne for those ahjeot C tnadian dailies which love foreign countries more and their own country lees.

Mr. Foster on trade matters one day haat week. He says the present commercial treaty with th t United States will terminate in two years, and he believes the islands will then drop it, as by the present treaty the United States has complete control of Pearl Harbor, one of the tinest in the world, and it galla Hawaiians to see this harbor monopolized by any foreign power. When the treaty was made the United States gave the islands a free rate on sugar, .while other countries paid duty, Recently the United States made sugar free, and now as a result the islaudere c'aim that they are justified in dropping it. They take at present from the States practically everything they eat, Bending in return auger, rice and fruit. tie believes they could could do all the s.am.m trade with Canada and he believes terms can be arranged.

We, the undersigned farmers of the C tent), of Perth, having felt for some time that one of the most important questions that can engage the attention of farmers at the present, is that of fenc- ing. The era of the old rail fence will soon be a thing of the past. The barbed wire fences have not been found com- pletely satisfactory. Bence our readi- nese in accepting the invitation of Messrs. J. J. Gale and Alex. Kane, Agents of the Ontario Hedge and Wire Fence Company, to visit some of the farms in the County of Brant and the County of Welland and to see for ourselves as to the actual appJaranoe and what will be the really practical character and utility of the new fence. And atter having carefully inspected and examined the fence on two or three farme in tho Coun- ty of Brant and also in the County of Welland, we found that a Hedge cau be constructed that is a perfect harrier againet all kinds of stock that is raised ou the farm. The fence presents a beautiful appearance, combining streng'h and durability, and will he an ornament to a well kept farm. And we cheerfully recommend it to the farmers of the County of Perth, as well as to the Pro• vince at large, coofid.ntly predicting that it is the coming fence anti that it will meet a long felt want, The deputation was also informed as to the Company's standing and business operations, viz.: Up to August 10th of this year they had under contract to the atntuut of $65,241 96 Since that date contracts amounting to $16,759, or II total at present under contract amount- ing to $82,000, which is an excellent ehowing for the Company, considering the comparatively few years they have been doing business in this Prevince. We would also state that the Company is incorporated under the provisions of the Dominion Statutes with a pari up capital of $250,000. GEO. LEVERSAOE, Reeve, Township of Fullarton,•Carlingford P. 0.
