Rum and ‘Taxes.

Outro has a “Seott Law,” as it is termed. which differs from our ‘Scott Act” consrer ably but seems to give great satisiaction . to the tax-payers of that State. The Law provides, together with other cessary and wholesome reculatic i a high-priced license svstem. Retailers of malt liquors pay 150 for license, and the retailers, of spirituous liquors pay $200 to $250 Within a few months the income from this scurce has}

become very large, and has so far eased the burthen of municipal taxpayers of the cities especially, that they are greatly Previous to the passage of this

pleased

law, the liquor interest ot Ohio paid | nothiag in the shape of taxes either | muvicipal or State. This Law was}

passed by a Republican Legislature and ypposed by the Democrats. The State election for Governor and other officers is to be held in a few days. The Scott! Law is the great point at issue between the Hoadley, a brilliant speaker, is the democratic cau- didate for Governor, and Judge Foraker | is the Republican candidate, Every day since the canvass began the Republican | chances have increased in consequence | of the satisfactory manner in which the} Scott Law is working. Leading Demo- crats admit that they will lose the elec-| tion, and itis asserted

two p: rties, Judge

that the liquor | sellers will be divided on election day, as} the more respectable ones fiud that the high prices paid for their licenses result | beseticially to themselves, as the lower groggeries are shut up by hundreds. It is greatly to the benefit of temperance and society generally, to have these low | groggeries closed, and the holders of the high licenses are as anxious to have these low places closed as are the active temperance people. The preobibitionists | of the Ohio have however nominated a prohibition candidate, and they and the Women’s Temperance Union hope to} earry the ** Secood Amendment,” as it is | called, and they say the prospect is very | good. This amendment proposes that all property used for the manufacture of beer or fermented liquors, will cease to be | of a legal value. A court of justice will | not enforce the collection of a bill from!

ne Wholesale fliaqu -aler. vALDS | eo” @ the wholesale !iquor dealer, against the | competition a

retail liquor seller, and the latter cannot collect money due for drinks. Nor will the man whe rents his building to be used as a groggery be able to collect rents therefor. The consequence will be that capital will not risk mouey in a business that can give vo leg»! security ; and what will be the result? It will outlaw the liquor traffic. So argue the prohibitionists ; bat in the meantime the Scott Law is work- ing admirably by makiog the trafficers

in ivtoxicants bear a large share of taxation, aud thns relieve in a great

measure the burthen of the guilt. God- fearing citizens, have heretofore, had not only to pay their share of taxes for legitimate oljects, but also to pay a large extra share for jails, court houses, poor houses, magistrates and police, all principally needed on account of the liquor traffic. The Scott Law makes rum pay its owu bills aud a little more. ——

FIFTH DAY. |

o

’

THE CATTLE PARADE, |

This forenoon there was a parade of all

ize horses and cattle. It wasa great |

credit tothe Maritime Provinces and to!

Canada. Many were the exclamations of |

delighted spectators as the proceasion passed | around the ring

the pr }

CATTLE.

There are on exhibition, 93 Shorthorns- 2 Herefords, 21 Devons, 14 Polled Angu, cattle, 9 Norfolks, 1 Holstein, 125 Ayrs shires, 142 Jerseys, and 192 grades. Total, 600! The largest and best lot of cattle ever brought together in the Maritime Provinces ! !

Perhaps the most wonder is expressed with respect tothe big oxen from Nova Scotia. One of these huge brutes weighs '? 530 lbs; the other 2,190 lbs. ;—-together 4.720 Ibs. The group of six fat cattle ex- |hibited by Messrs. Blake Brothers of this

city is much admired, and each one of the

group is good for a prize. Mr. Bridges fat cow is excellent in her class, and the heifers shown by Messrs. F. Dewar and F, Gates are decidedly the best on exhibition.

None of the pure bred exhibits of stock are so much criticised as the Jerseys. [Their admirers are numerous, influential and enthusiastic; those who do not admire them are many and practical. Independ- ently of their comparative value to the farmer, the exhibit of Jerseys is splendid

of its kind. A breeder from _ the Northern States, who is present, says that he has not seen a finer

assortment this side of Connecticut; and he has attended many of the best shows. The Jersey fanciers in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have certainly great reason to be pleased. Perhaps the proudest man in St. John to-day, is the winner of the prize

| for the best herd of Jerseys.

Next to the Jerseys, in point of numbers,

| stand the Ayrshires; and they are rightly or ‘wrongly regarded by a large majority of | practical farmers, as the best breed for this

country. It is held that not only do they give good rich milk in abuudance, but that,

'when their usefulness as milkers is good,

they make excellent beeves, and are hardier and thriftier than almost any other breed of cattle. The exhibit of Ayrshires is a fine one; and it is pleasing to note that in the face of a very sharp competition, the Island has had the honor of carrying off a number of the best prizes.

Concerning the exhibit of shorthorns we cannet do better than quote the ‘‘note” made by the judges at the close of the

‘‘We confess to be much delighted with the qualitv, symmetry and large proportions |of the animals, not a few of which would | be a credit to any Old Country show yard. It is abundantly clear that the soil ard | climate of the northern provinces are well | calculated to produce and maintain a very ‘high standard of home stock, and we are | gratified to find that the people of these | provinees are alive to the advantages they | possess. We would suggest to some exhibi- tors, to whom the remark applies, that it is | not desirable in the interest alike of milk and | fecundity to over-feed the breeding animals, and we desire to impress upon all breeders {the high importance of using the best | sires obtainable. J. P. SHeipon,

W. W. Fawcert, Cuas. E. Brown.”

| Mr. Compton's splendid bull was ruled lout of this class because his pedigree (which |is known to be pure) could not be traced | Here are a few of the judges remarks, as |quoted from their books, on shorthorns from the Island :

| Yearling heifer, 1st prize—Plump, pretty | and promising. Even top and of gvood | quality.

|" Two year old heifer—Grand skin and coat. A very promising animal.

| Two year old heifer, 2nd prize—A very 'thick and shapely animal of good quality, having even outlines, grand square quart- ers and a good skin.

Cows—Dalia—A large and handsome cow of good quality and fairly symmetrical, | but too fat; tine bone and evidently a good feeder.

Calves—2nd prize—Substantial end pro- mising. Coal black and _ horness, the polled

| Angus Cattle attracted much attention and were very popular. No doubt the climate of this Province would suit them well. Herefords, Devens and Norfolks were good of their kind. The Holstein bul] was no beauty; if he was a fair specimen, the beauty of the breed must lie entirely in the milk, HORSES.

The show of horses was also the best ever seen in the Maritime Provinces; and it is noteworthy that, although the other Pro- vinces were exceedingly well represented, the Island Province, from its exhibit of 37 horses, drew 33 prizes. ‘‘Barrister’’ and his |progeny were greatly admired. Mr. A. | Essay sold his yearling colt got by ‘Bar- rister,” weighing 1137 lbs., for $150, and the Hon. Lauchlan MeMillan sold his draft mare, with foal got by ‘‘Barrister,” | for $300. Mr. Thomas Kennedy, of Lot | 48, was offered $400 for his first prize mare, | and we are glad to report refused the offer. |Challenger, Brown Stout, the Pickering | horse, and the Carver horse all showed to

HOME AGAIN.

As soon as the parade was over, prepars- tions were made for the return home; and this was very successfully accomplished. Hardly one of the animals received a scratch either going er returning; and they all looked as well when they got home es when they went away.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

The sentiment of every exhibitor from the Island is that in kindness, and courtesy, the Commissioners, in charge of the Exhi- bition could uot be surpassed. Every reasonable want was anticipated or satisfied the moment it was made known. We have not yet heard the first word of com- plaint, but rather a general acknowledge- ment of the kind attentions received.

The management of the railway and the steamers, too, was excellent. The ability of Captain Evans and his officers, was never put to a better test than dering the past week. The best evidence of their care that could be adduced js contained in the fact, that though the weather was often stormy, there was not a single accident— hardly a seratch—to man, woman or beast.

THE FUSILEBRS BALL.

The Ball given by the 62nd Fusileers at the Clarendon Hotel this evening; was a brilliant social event. Among the guests were:—The Misses Haviland, Mrs. Geo, D. Longworth, Miss Beila-Richards, Mrs. J. A. Matheson, Lieut. Governor Havilend, Mr. W. A. Brennan, Mr. John A. Mathe- son; Mr. Gea. D. Longworth,and Mr. C. D. Rankin.

NOTES.

Messrs. Blake Brothers sold their exhibit of fat cattle to a St. John dealer at a hand- some figure.

It is remarked that more drunkenness was apparent at the Summerside Exhibi- tion than at the Exhibition in St John— though the number of persons in attend- ance was as one to one hundred !

Provincial Educational Institute.

<=

The Provincial Educational Institute met in the hall of the Upper Prince Street School to-day. The Superintendent of Education, D. Montgomery, Esq., oceupied the chair, and on the platform were Messrs. Seaman, Duncan, Rev. J. Burwash, and others.’ There were in all about 120 teach- ers in attendance, more than half of whom are females. After the appointment of several committees, it was moved, seconded and carried unanimously, that Rev.’ J. Burwash and Rev. K. McLennan be eleeted honorary members of the Institute. The chairman, in putting the motion, referred in fitting terms to the services done by both these gentlemen to the cause of education. Before the morning’s programme began the Superintendent announced that the lady teacher who had promised to give an ex- hibition lesson had subsequently concluded not to do so, and therefore this part of the proceedings must necessarily be omitted. The Rev. J. Burwash was then called upon and after having thanked the association for the honor they had done him, in electing him an honorary member of the Institute, the rev. gentleman read an in- teresting and instructive paper which he illustrated by several simple experiments. Professor Burwash divided his lecture into four heads, viz., Mineralogy, Chemistry, Botany and Physiology, first taking up the subject of Mineralogy. He showed how the science of Mineralogy taught the pupil to observe and think for himself. Then he showed the difference between several specimens of minerals, their difference in color. in hardness and general formation. The subject of Chemistry was next taken up, afterwards Botany, and closing with a reference to Physiology. The rev. gentle- man desired to show how easily an outline of all these branches could be taught to the children of our common schools, and what an immense amount of good would flow from it. Prof. Burwash was listened to with great interest by those present, and it isto be hoped that some- thing tangible will spring from his practical remarks. The morning session closed at one o'clock, and the afternoou session open- edat three o’clock, p, ™. The first paper was read by Mr. T. ‘A. LePage, on the use of “Shall and Will.” -°Also.a paper by Prof Caven. Teright there will be a

public meeting,
