COUNTY ENHIBITIONN.

Cue utility ef County Exhibitions has

veem demonstrated. They are now es- tablished institutions. They absorb atten- tiom while they list, and are talked about when they are over. They are patronized by the e/ife, attended by thousands of persons of all classes, and fully reported in the wewspapers. Vet they are year by year degenerating. The spectacle presented

on Friday last, when the Governor of the

Vrovinee, accompanied by his suite and the members of Ller Majesty's Executive Council, came down to open Queen's

County Exhibition, partook of the char-

acter of a barmicide feast. In fact, if it had not for Messrs Harris, Butcher, Newson, Phillips F letchor, Mekinnon & Fras McKenzie & Stumbles, Dickie, Docherty,

‘Wnagv cis tae Marren ne?’—The Min- ister of the Interior has been home nearly a fortnight. But we hear of no banquet in | his honor. Congratulatons are not, we believe, pouring in upon him. He has not responded to the invitation of his consti- tuents to address tliem. In fact he seldom appears in public; and when he walks our streets he is silent and slone. This is too bad. (ther ministers are enthusiastically received by their party friends Banquets are given; meetings held; glorification speeches delivered. But Mr. Laird’s poli- tical friends are either remarkably cool or they are—nowhere. o> o

Altogether the exhibition was a very fair one—showing increasing interest in the raising of stock — ¢a} lly horses and sheep—and vegetables ; but « falling off in cereals and manufactured articles.

QUEEN’S COUNTY,

(Jueen’s County Exhibition was opened, ‘n presence of a large assemblage, by the Lieutenant Governor, at twelve o'clock, on Friday last. His Honor delivered a pleas- _ ing speech on the occasion.

The pictures by Mr. R. Harris and Miss Ings ; the neatly sculptured marble urn by Mr. James Philips; the elegant furniture from the establishments of Messrs. Butcher, Newson, and Dogherty; the beautiful

| flowers grown in the gardens of Hons. J. C. Pope, Daniel Davies, B. Davies, and | George Davies, Esq., combined to make the north end of the Drill Shed very in- teresting. There was a good display of butter and cheese ; a fair show of roots and | vegetables ; some good poultry; very small collections of fruit, grain and manufactured articles. John Quirk, Esq., showed some fine samples of bread; his neighbor Hobbs _ exhibited a good assortment of home-made hats and caps; Messrs. McKinnon & Fraser two elegant carriages; Mr. E, Nelson a collection of sewing machines; Mr, C. Pope Fletcher two very fine toned organs from the establishment of Messrs. W. Bell & Co., |Guelph, Ontario; Messrs. McKenzie & Stumbles two pieces of cloth manufactured in Messrs. Johnston & Gordon’s establish ment, Kensington, which for strong texture and fine finish we have not seen surpassed. | Apples from the orchard of E. E. Dickie, | Esg., Annapolis, Nova Scotia; and a huge squash (not quite so large but weighing a | little more than the squash exhibited by C, | Ives, Esq:, at Summerside) grown in the | garden of Mr. Fraser, Pictou, attracted much attention. Samples of turning on a | lathe in the factory of Mark Butcher, Esq.,

| Mr. Newson, were worthy of special men-

‘tion. We have not room for a lengthy

review. The following is a list of the
