Springfield Notes.
The farmers in this vicinity have about completed their harvest operations, which were performed this season with scarcely any delay, owing todry weather through- out the entire harvest season.
| The crops in general appear to be fair, ‘but the wheat crop, although excellent, feels disposed to remain mute, as though not satisfied with the development of its neighbor, the oat, which appears to strike the line considerably below the average.
Already the potato plants have changed their verdant hue, and le downcast and shattered, as much as if to let us know that their growth is nearing its termination, and reminding us that it will not be long ere the grating of hacks and the rumbling of carts laden wish robust Mclintyres reign; predominant. From this it can readily be) seen that the season is much in advance of | its usual time. Indeed it seems as if it were between two opinions, viz.: *‘whether | it has time to give usa spell of nice spring weather, or pursue its customary course of | introducing something keener,” However | this may be, here is something to show| what | am driving at: A few days ago, | while Rev. Benjamin Sickles of this settle-| ment, was engaged in clearing a piece of | land he found several strawberries, per-| fectly matured, and as fresh as when! picked in their proper season. Wonderful | it is, but it serves to show that if it is im- | possible for us to be favored with another spring, we can, at least, behold some of its | productions.
For the last week or so the woods here} have been in aconflagration with fires, which were set out some time ago by persons | anxious to clear their farms of brush and | other rubbish. Continued dry weather and hot winds caused them to spread rapidly, | until the woods extending from Springfield | to Montague were enveloped in flames, | which besides destroying all the valuable trees within its grasp, threatened to go further, and sweep the fences most exposed to it. Happily, however, a few drops of! rain began to fall, then heavier and faster, until at last ended in a heavy shower, leaving the fire exhausted and the -ground a blackened ruin. :

- te ¥ A BUDGET OF ORNERAL NEWS |. FROM a PFINCE County Exhibition
A FEW NOTES. The Prize List.
As usual, the best part of the show was seen inthe people who went to see the show. A larger or finer crowd of sightseers was never collected at Summerside. It is very pleasing to observe, from year to year, the evident improvement in the condition and dress, tha manners and conduct of our Island farmers, their wives, sisters, cousins and aunts. Clothed in the comfortable tweeds which are made in our home manu- factories, and behaving, for the most part, like sensible and educated men and women, they come together to reflect credit vpon themselves and upon the country.
There was some drinking at Summerside yesterday, ample opportunity being offered in the dens of the town; but there was little of the wild drunkenness that we used to see some twenty or thirty years ago. The body of the people have evidently learned that it is wrong, or at least that it is not respectable, to drink to excess ; and men have learned to control their appetites. Perbaps the recent shocking examples of the evils resulting from drinking, which have been seen at Kensington, had some effect upon even the more thoughtless of the young men congregated at Summerside yesterday.
The want of preparation for the show was apparent in too many of the exhibits. Some of the animals had evidently been taken direct from the pasture to the show ground, with their hair standing out and looking as though a drink of water and a breakfast would do them good. Searcely one was pioperly fitted for thecompetition. The curry-comb and brush was far too little used. Strangers who have seen shows abroad must have been not a little surpris- ed, not to say disgusted, at the disregard shown by many of the competitors for the appearance of their really fine animals.
The names of those who deserved mcst credit will, of course, be found in the prize list below. The absence of imported stallions shows that their owners care more for the little bit of prize money than they do to make a good show ia their county. The diploma offered by the Commissioners to those who own the best horses did not dcaw worth acent. To Mr. Woodman be- jongs the distinction of entering a horse or a diploma, and his horse was ruled out fecause, though very highly bred, he bappened to be a pacer.
By the way, a very fine mare, owned by William Ross, Esq., of Harding's Creek, and a foal at her feet, from this same horse —Mr. Woodman’s horse ** Woodlawn ”— attracted much attention and admiration ; but, as Mr. Ross lives in Queen’s County they could not be entered for a prize in Prince Connty.
It was evident, to any one looking at the horses while competing for honors in the show ring, that the scale of points is the only wat'sfactory test in awarding premiums. Some colts, standard by breeding, are required to be as large and weigh as heavily as colts from well-bred horses, whose dams were out of Clyde, Gladstone or some other draft horse,aud thereby would show greater size and have what some people are pleased to call substance, than horses or colts of fine breeding. We noticed in the contest of the stallion colts under three years old, that the handsomest and most stylish colt, with the elastic action movement which denotes the trotter, was awarded only third place. On enquiry we learned that he was owned by Mr. Wim. Hunt, of Summerside,
‘that he is standard under Rule 6, and has
the blood of three of our best standard stallions—Hernando, All Right and Princi- pal—blended. Yet he had to contend with colts out of draft dams. This ought not so to be. The following is the
