I went ez hard ez I cud go fur more than ten rod before I stopped to look back and wheu I did I was sorry that I bailout kep o1 a goin etrate ahead outil I got ttleer out 05 sight. When I looked around there was that fool butcher and a few others ov the same stripe, a pintin at me and Malin ez the their bones wad break. Whatever possessed um to carry on like that I oaut make out, but it dos beat all how many different kinds ov fools you kin see wheu you travel. If I had to find embody who 101118ne hay sense snuff to eat salt without overdoin it, 1 bleeve Ide go rite back to that butcher shop.

(5110I118113 BAN'S HOBS.) Dann SEOIA1•TuT—Es I was a goin along the street the other day, I kum to a cast iron box on the side ov a bildin that take my eye. There was a handle on it that anybody cud see was to be tuke hold ov, and there was sum big letters on the box whioh said, "Turn to the right." I dident hay no idea at all as to what the box oud be fur, and soI stood there a muziu and wonderin fur more than a intuit. Finally I konkluded that if they wanted the thing turned to the right I wud turn it and see what kum ov it, and so I tuke holt ov the handle and giv it a twist with all my might, bat nuthin peered to happen and so I jest stood there a watohin it and feelin tamped. The fust thing I knode I heard a eke- terin ov wheels that made the ground triable under my feet, and )ookin round I saw three 0r four flee ingiiles a )iAm- min down the street lords me at a tur- rible by gait. This stirred me right up in a minit, fur Ive ben a wantin to see a big fire ever sense I got here, and now, thought I to myself, heros my chance. The inginee all stopped middlin close to me, and I begun to think I had kum into that naburhood right in the nick ov time to see the frolick. I cant tell you what a fine sight it was to see them big black horses gallop up, and stand there pawin the ground ez tho they cadent bear the thawb ov bein stopped. I dont kno when Ive ever seen hesge1 that looifedPere OS the they bad just jumped oat ov pikober than them ingine bosses did, but I dident git to stand there and look at um very long. A Mau who had ben at the o 00' the per. e each= in a buggy, yelled know where the fire was. I toldhim that was jest what I wanted to find out. 'When I told him that he wanted to kno in words that was bilin hot who turned in the alarm. I told him I dident kno nuthin about that. I badent seen nun. Then he wanted to kno if I had ben a foolin with the box. I told him I Went dun nuthin but turn the handleand try to open the kunaern akordiu to the direkshune on the lid. I never in all my born days heard eech aweariu as the man dun when I told him that. I told him it was a party how de do if they dident want the handle twieb- ed, that they ahud put eech direkahuos ma the box, but while I was a tawkin to the man a noggin with sum kunstables in kum a cLargin np, and I was loaded bawled off to a 'ail where I into that and 1 1 was take in and locked up, ez the T had killed su mbody or wuzzent no better Than a thief. After bein in there more than an hour, and skeert most to detb, I was tulce before the judge, who fined me ten dollars without hardly lookiu up. 1 dont kno any words big snuff to tell you how bad I felt when I found myself out in the street agiu after bein treated like that. Ime a little joobus about whether the Koff Raizere Stub will be willin to pay me that moony bask, but it peers to me they otter. They sent me up here to find out eveytbing I oud fur um, and it looks to me ez tho they ort to attend by me when I term things that koet me kash. I never found out ontil this mornin that this town dont bav but wun poet• ofhee. I spozed that a plane like this wud has more than a duzzin, and all doin a payin bizness, but it seems that it haint no better off in that way than Ciderville. I started out this mornin to take a walk to settle my brekfust., and the fust thing I kuode I wee in a brown study about things at home, and went on and on without payin mutoh notice to where I was. 1 got to wunderin about whether I had better klover the big field ou the pike, or orop it a year or two longer, when a muskeeter or sumthin etrook mo in the nose, and I seen that I was a goin to sneeze. I ran my hand into my kote tail pocket to git my hen. kerobuff, when what shad Ido but kum akrost a letter I wrote to you last week, and bad forgot slick and klean to take to the postoffiee and put in the box, Not wantin to make the jamb lcleer book to do it, I went into a butcher shop and asked a man with a TRW lookin face and sandy hair hots fur it was to the nearest post- (fess. I always thawt I knode what manners was, but Ime dead certain that buteher dident, fur he snorted rite in my face and laded at a wonderful rate, like I do swath -nes when I see funny things in an almaniolr. It was quite a spell before the man and kat' hisaelf down snuff to tank, and when he did it was with wun ov the most aggervatin grins Ive seen sense I left home. fIe sed hello ben a Hein here ever sense the big fire, and if they had more than wun postoflise in town it was neve to him. He told me howaumever, that I cud go over to the tither side ov the street and chuok my letter into a caet.iron box he pinged out. I told him to excuse me, if he wud, fee I wuzzent in no trim to want to pay ten dollars for anuther ride to the lockup, and then I let him kno how I had fooled with wun ov them hong the tither day, only to fetoh out the fire fogines at my expense, without havin the privilidge ov wain Wan ov um squirt, mediately to the stables of their owners— the former into quarantine at Sarnia, It was hoped that the regulations would have been relaxed to allow the cattle to be returned without delay, but the Dominion Government refueed to make an exoept1001 in their ease, and there they xtctor.

Frequent warn- ings have appeared in this and other papers of bbeee violations but they seem to be of no avail. A. serious offence was committed at the Exeter posto11i00 the other day by a young lady who enclosed a letter and some patterns in a news. paper without the sufliotenb amounb of postage to carry it and with intent of defrauding the mails.

In the Clyde class there were n great really special premiums. The English Hackney Society presented gold medals foe the best stallion and mare, both of which were won by Mr. Beitb, of Bowmauville with Jubilee Chief and Winnefeed. Medals were given to the Amerioan.Arabs but the best of them went to Fez, Aldo. barren, and Keturah, from the etablee of Dr. Hall, Toronto. ONTARIO AT CHICAGO. Now that the live stook show is over, one of the chief features of interest, inas- much as it is changing every day, is the fresh fruit. Many of the State buildings have large quantities of fruit on exhibi- tion, but the main display is in the north and south curtains of the horticultural building. Ever since June small lots of fruit have been dropping in from the Southern States, and during July and August small fruits in Ooaeidereble quan- tibias came from Ontario, bat now every- body is sending everything, and, as with the live stock, it is very questionable if e display of the salve magnitude, oovering so many kinds and of such a high order of exoellenee, was ever seen in the world before. Entering either Ourt1(18 One 8ee8 a vista of rich colors, and one's nostrils are greeted with a perfume that is index. oribable—the odors of tropical, semi- tropical and northern fruits blending in exquisite fragrance. It is as if all the orchards and vineyards of the continent had been robbed of their best produots, and on the long table and shelves, group- ed more or less artistically, are the choicest of apples, pears, peaches, plume, grapes and other fruit less generally known but none the less delicious.

A very important plane among the judges was assigned to John Snell, of Edmonton, Ont., in associating him with Mr. Imboden and Ivfr. Stocking, of Illin. ois, to determine the respeotive merits of the animals i11 the beef breed sweepstakes. Mr. Snell is ono of the best known On- tario breeders and no one is better worthy than be of the high honor con- ferred on him by the exposition author. Wes. FINE 11018Ee NOR TORONTO. Of the foreign horses on exhibition none have attracted more general atten- tion than the Oldenburg Coach horses from the Imperial German stables, a large number of whioh ware sent over in charge of H. Gerdes. The Oldenburge are au old breed, with noble heads, bright prominent eyes, esoelicrt baok, withers and feet, and fine elastin gait. These horses soon attracted the attention of Robert Davies, of Thornoliff Farm, To- ronto, who is well known for his know- ledge end love for horses, and after ne- gotiation he succeeded in purchasing three mares, the pink of the string, whioh were shipped East on Tuesday, with the expectation of showing them during the last Jaye of the Toronto Ex- hibition. The three mares, Home, Oreolin and Intern, are in foal to the best stallione in the Oldenburg stud and are all beautiful pieces of horseflesh. In Bo- oordauce with the German custom each is branded on the nook and flank with a crown and letter 0. They are jest the class of horse for whioh there is always a market at home and abroad and ib speaks ieaks well for Mr. Davies' enterprise that he seoured them. ONTAIRIO'S PRD10. Chatting with A. H. Pettit, of Grime. by, superintendent of the Ontario Fruit Department, to whom more than any other man is due the high position taken by the province in the Pomological de - Pertinent, he informed me that the people of Ontario had evidently been muoh en- couraged by the report sent out of the excellence of the fruit of 1802, and are now sending on their shipments in a most satisfactory manner. Large quart. tities were ooming forward daily, and despite the fact that according to his ad- visee this was an off year, the quality was excellent and likely to sustain our re- putation at the high pitch that has been already achieved. It hardly needed Mr. Pettit's assurances, for the tables spoke for themselves, and as one lingered for a few minutes in the Ontario court one could not but feel flattered ab the many complimentary remarks on our exhibits. It will be no surprise if many awards for fruit come our way. Itis true that for size we cannot compete with the mammoth specimens from the irrigated States of California, Oregon, Washington and Idaho, but we beat them in flavor every time, and there is no place where this very feature can better be tested, for each State sent the bust it had and rush- ed it through on fast express trains. One of the odd features of the Ontario exhibit was a quantity of ripe figs, grown by Henry Pafford, of Niagara, on a tree some twenty years old, growing outdoors.

This is a rumor, so far, but with a strong probability of be. ooming a fact ; the cause of the sup- plementary rate being the letter present- ed to the council at a recent meeting, threatening an action if a sufficient amount in taxes was not raised to pay off all the heavy late costs and other un. fortunate expenditures inourred by the 00;111011 this year. • 0551.1tIO HONEY. Allan Pringle, of Selby, well known as one of the foremost Ontario beekeepers, returned within a few days having while East selected e, quantity of choioe comb honey of the season's crop. It is now plaoed in position and suffers nothing by comparison with the States which are competing. The Ontario display of honey, taken altogether, is unusually good, and has lost nothing of its attrao, tiveness at the )lands of Mr. Pringle, who has arranged the various kinds .of bee produots most artistically.

The cheese has been exposed to a tropio temperature for more than three months, yet was found to be in good condition, and of excellent flavor, everything con- sidered. This must be accepted as a very high testimony to the keeping quality of Ontario cheese under adverse drams - stances. The first of a series of song recitals by J. F. Thompson and Mrs. Agnes Thomp. son the well-known Canadian vocalists formerly of Toronto, was given ia the music hall this afternoon, to be followed by the others on Tuesday and Saturday next.

Mr, and Mrs. Thompson hold a high position in Cbl. cage musical circles, and everybody was delighted with the entertainment given by them this afternoon. Some surprise has been expressed that Ontario should have a deputy commis- sioner at the World's Fair. As a matter of fact, no such appointment was ever made, the title was inadvertently con- ferred by the writer in an earlier letter on Adam Armstrong, who for some time past has been noting as agent for Mr. Awrey, pnrtbasing supplies for the Ail ferent courts and providing lodging plaoee for Ontario people who have writtento the commissioner for ouch service.
