Fat Catile. Tue show of Easter cattle at Market Square yesterday, was smaller than usual, but the deficiency in number was made up by the superior quality of the animals exhibited. The heaviest cow, and perhaps the fattest, was shown by Mr. William Sellar. She weighed over sixteen hundred pounds, and had by her side a heifer which turned the scale at 1,532 lbs. Messrs. Saunders & Campbell had three cows among their Easter cattle which attracted much attention. Nene of these weighed leas than thirteen hundred and a half, were very superior and reflected credit on their feeders and owners Messrs. Blake Bros. as usual, had the largest exhibit. Among the number were three fine steers under three years old, weighing on an averege 1,497 lbs. They also had a number of heifers, fed by themselves, two of which weighed 2,900 lIbs., and were extra fat for their age. Messrs. A. L. Bridges & Co. showed some fine oxen, one in particular, fed by Hon. John Longworth, weighed 1610 lbs. Mr. Henry McGregor also had a splendid lot of cattle. Among them two oxen fed by Mr. John Dewar, weighing 1637 and 1445 lbs., re- spectively, were well worthy the attention they received. Following is a list of own- ers and feeders, with weights of the difler- ent animals :—

Love or Counrry.—A lecture delivered | before the Benevoient Irish Society, Char- |
lottetown, P. E. Island, by Hon. D., | Ferguson. Provincial Secretary. &e. We | thank Mr. Ferguson for this brilliant
lecture. We agree with him that ‘‘The im- portation of the party issues, feuds and animosities of the old world cannot be too} strongly deprecated.” Love the Old Coun- try, certainly; but leave behind the bitter- ness of Old Country feuds and controversies, be they political, social, or ecclesiastical. Happily God has provided that neither in Church nor in State our allegiance is tied down to Samaria or Jerusalem, Rome or Paris, London or Edinbugh. Neither in the wountain nor in that city, need you seek the type of the highest patriotism or the purest religion. We should therefore cultivate a ‘‘broad national sentiment of our own.” Mr. Ferguson appreciates ‘‘the free institutions under which we live. There are not in the whole world five millions of people enjoy- ing more perfect liberty than the in- habitants of the Dominion of Canada.” ‘Our rights and privileges have been won for us by the struggles of centuries.” Mr. Ferguson’s lecture is caleulated to do good and good only. We should like to see all our public men inspired with a spirit so catholic and able to express lofty thoughts in language so poetical. — Presbyterian Witness,

Mr. White will take the necessary steps to have the matter brought under the notice of Her Majesty, and he holds that the interesting event is another evidence of the great fruitfulness of the country he so efficiently reprezents.—St. John Globe.
