but instead of coaling out openly and

in :—Any person who has attended the
different agricultural shows held in the
county this fall, will know that nearly every
one has turned out a faiihre, and none More
so than the one held in Olititon under the
anapices of the Ilellett Branch Agricultural
Society. It has been a matter of surprise
e great many neople thet nearly all the
fairshelcl in ourtown hive uot been as well
patronized as other plaoes ; but when I see
'how the business of the impiety ut inana"ed
it is not to be wondered' at. This fall,for
a reason 1 cannot at all raiderstand, the di.
rectors, saw fit to remeve from the old ahow
ground, takilig the race course for the -out-
side eliow, ancl,the town hall for the inside,
and the miserable exhibition Which attend-
ed the affair showed what, a bungle they
made of it.

Sit':—Allew me, through your columns,'
to call the attention of the ratepayers to
the matter of shade trees. Almost allarts
aware that during.the past few years a great
degree of interesthas been taken in the
planting and protection of shade and orna-
mental trees on our streets and that a larife '
,amount of time and money has been
pended thereon, aed it;.therefere becomes:
duty, as well as the interest' of every
one, to see that these trees, that ao so far
. towards beautifying our Cowp,-and enhan. •
'clown° value of our property, should he :
preserved from. destrugtion. During .the,.
past sunnier, and.up to the:present titne,, ,
I have noticed that a member of theis trees
are in the Way of beingdestroyed from one
of the means that is used to protect them.
Sitree the box was placed around them to
guard thein frotn .injury, they have grown
80 biishy at thetop that the wind has forced
them on to the tap of the boxes, and chafed'
them ao much thfit they haie become weak-
ene.d, and'at. lest bioltnn off, t would urge
all, oho hare trees contigeoaa to their lota,
to either retrieve the boxes When such in- .

centre of the box by attaps,'• 'If all weiild
take a little:. intereet in :attending to this
matter, D3 rniy,valnable trees would be saved.
Some are under the impression that the '

this cannot well be done, as the*-councir
have already demands upon them sufficieet
to exhaust all their fluids and energies.
