Those people who are wont to remark upon the ill manners of those who par. bake of the free lunch at the Model Farm are respectfully requested to direct their attention to that display of bad manners whiob took place at the reoeption given by the Duke and Dnobeee of Cornwall, during their stay. in Toronto. Lu that eager desire wbioh was Blown by almost everyone to see at the expense of others might be drawn as a fitting comparison to the actions of their humbler brethren, Many were so overcome in the orueh that they bad to be taken away and one lady had her dress so badly born that she had to fight her way out and go bonne. The next rooming the floors were literally covered with beads, jet &o., vobioh bad been torn during the oonflioe The people who bad attended this reception have had greatly superior advantages in training to the people at the Model Farm, and their attic& are muoh lees worthy of axons, consequently. Regularly once a week the peace and quietness whioh neually pervade the little red station hones and yards is broken by a sone of hustle and aotivity whiob re - calla the da3, when Blnevale bad ambi- Mona and when a brass band and a Fall Show numbered themselves among her attractions, and by the way, that Fall Show was nothing to be slalomed of either. The beads that planned it might have graced a wider sphere of usefulness in the show business with credit to themselves, but they directed all their energies to the task before them and their hard work brought its own reward. The day of special attractions was yet in its iefanoy, but the show Committee, with originality and long headedness, which obaraoterized all their actions, bad this feature of the Fair erecially marked on their program and the floods' edam showed the wis• dour of having a Oalithumpian exhibition and baby show to relieve the monotony of prize oabbeges and oozy ciente. Alas! Blonde will never again have a Fall Show I'm afraid. The time still lives green in oor memories, when Arob, Pot- terson's trotter won the tin medal in the ''Pree- f o r•al 1," vvent four times to the graveyard and back, and Duff's sow was adorned with the red tioket, not only Inc her good points ae a dairy animal bat also as a recognition of ber firmness of temper and ber adroitness in opening village gates and making midnight raids on village oabbage gardens. But this pleasaot retrospect has led us from the subject in band. Wm. Jewilt's weekly shipment of bogs from our station gives Bluevale quite a bnainessaike air. Dar- ing the early morning the tall pig.raoks with their squealing inmates go lumber. ing past. From the shipping yard come the stern commands; of the sbippers, mingled with the shrill protests of the porkers, while the full wagons come and the empty wagons go. When, at last the oar is filled, when the train with its l'oing burden disappears down the shining took the profits and losses are counted up, the farmer slowly wends his way homeward with a pleased and happy smile upon bis son.brownad conntenanoe, and the peaoe and quietness which had been so rudely disturbed settles again for another week.

Mrs. Thomas West and obiidren, of Grand Valley, have returned home after a few weeks visit to her parents, Robb. and Mrs. Donn, of Bluevale, and ber sister, Mrs. Marsh, of Woodstock.
