land. There was a perceptible improve-

ment in the acting of Miss Louise Forster in the character of that fair, money-loving, and unfortunate intriguer, Clara Henshaw ; and Mr. Travernier’s. rendition of the ex- travagances of the ex-leader of Confederate Cavalry—who was a great man ‘‘ befo’ the war, Sir,’ —was very amusing. Altogether, we have seldom, if ever, been visited by so powerful a star actor as Mr. Stetson, and so meritorious a Cempany- as those who support him. ‘‘ Neck and Neck” will be placed upon’ the boards to-night. Of this play, as rendered by Mr. Stetson, ihe St. Join News says :-

‘The sensational drama ‘ Neck and Neck’ was puton the beards at the Institute last night, with the popular tragedian Mr, FE. T. Stetson in the principal character. The piece was splendidly presented and the audience the largest of the season—was delighted and showed its appreciation by most enthusiastic applause. During the evening, Mademoiselle Nuult sang some operatic selections and had to respond to a hearty encore. ‘Neck and Neck’ is introduced by a scene in a banking institution. Walter Wilmorth (Mr. Stetson) is about to start for the train te say good bye to Carrie Freeland (Miss Van Cortland), to whom he is engaged to be married. Car ro! Denman (Mr. Armstrong), who has been Walter's unsuccessful rival, but who still pre- tends to be his friend, tries to make tiilbert Farnsworth (Mr. Tavernier) believe that Wal- ter has embezzled funds belonging to the bank. Sir Richard Freeland (Mr. Nannary), President of the Bank, aad Carrie’s father, thinks a great deal of Walter. Farnsworth is cashier of the bank and in consequence of what Denman tells him, he accuses Walter of having embezzled the tunds. Walter denies the-charge and while both are alone a land to hand fight takes place between them. [e:- man puts in an appearance and fatally stabs the cashier, believing that he has been seen by no one and that Walter will be arrestel for the murder. Farusworth, before he dies, writes a note that his death was caused not by Walter but by Denman. ‘The fatal stab- bing was noticed by Jim Johnson (Mr. Wal. tou) who secures the note written by the dying man.- Johnson is a great admirer of Walter, because of having received favors at his hands, but he is induced te leave the coun- try by Denman, whe pays him a large suin of money and promises him that no harm will happen to Walter. ‘The latter is arrested and seatenced to be hung. He is led to the scaf- fold, and while he is hanging by the neck, but still alive, he is rescued by Jim Johnson and Jennie (also played by Miss Van Cortland), One sensational scene follows close upon the other. Finally, Walter recovers his strength and reason and Denman suffers upon the scaffold the penalty of his crimes. Mr. Stet- son played his part in a masterly manner and received tremendous applause. Everyone ex pected to see hin exceed any of his former great efforts, and no one was disappointed. He was weil supported throughout. Miss Vara Cortland, in her double character, won much well merited applause. Mr. Armstrong did excellently well—better than ever before —as Denman, and the general opinion was that the character could not have been in better hands. Mr. Tavernier, Mr. Walton and Mr. Lindley were, as usual, tirst class and the cuaracters were well represented. ‘Neck and Neck’ is indeed a great success. It ‘caught’? the large audience last night and will probably draw a monster house to-night, ‘The gatiows and railway scenes are very ex- citing and the whole piece is put on in a man- ner that cannot fail to please.”

J. S. CaRVELL.: Ch’town, July 15, 1880

PIRNTATON STOW, SCOTLAND, 25th June, 1S,

Dear Srr,—You wished me to give you my opinion of the cargo of cattle landed here by yon from Prince Edward Island. I may say they were fully up to the average we get from the Dominion. ‘Thirty per cent. were fit for the best butchers, 40 per cent. medium, while the remainder would do for contractors, feed- ing soldiers, sailors, poor houses, etc. —

There is no doubt that Canada, in the future, is to supply a large portion of the butcher meat required here ; and, while we can con sume ali and every sort she likes to send,

the big price can only be got for prime stuff; and Lt am_ sure you and

your friends will not be offended if I point out where you are at present deficient, and what steps you should take to come to the front. { claima practical kuowledge of the subject, for my father, self and sens have been butchers in Edinburgh for over 60 years, while latterly I have been farmiuz to a large extent

mere to loss than profit, | am sorry to say.

To take -a practical illustration of what I meanfrom this cargo: You had steers weigh- ing say 1350 lbs, aged Sand 6 years, while, in other cases, you had the same weight at three years, While the beef of the latter is worth ld per lb, more. Now, how is this managed’ he owner of the first lot must have starved the calf flesh off. Next summer, by the end of the grass season, it would have gained some flesh, only to lose it by next spring; and so, spring after spring, a bag of boaes would be turned out, until the final result was a beast like a mason’s trestle,--high in the bone, low in the flesh.

The other would let the calf suck the cow, or give it sweet milk to keep on the calf flesh —for, lose that, and you never can replace it. Then, in winter, turnips and hay to carry it forward to grass. [t should next fail be a nice, sweet beast, and, if well attended to in winter, should be in conditien to be sipped to this country in June; and if well bred, so as to have little offal, and the flesh on the best parts—that is full of tlesh aloag the back, loins and rump —would command the best price here.

As to breed, the Shorthorn must be gen- erally used ; and it is mistaken economy for a farmer to use a cross-bred bull. Seme may say, I have teo few cows to aiford to purchase a pare Shorthorn bull. Well, do as they do in Aberdeenshire: Two, three, up to halfa dozen neighbors. join in purchasing one. They keep i¢ in rotation, or arrange for one keep. Then, it is sold when fat, and his price gees a long way to- wards baying his successor. ‘The last sale I attended at Cruickshanks, in Aberdeenshire, the largest breeder of Shorthorns in Scotland, having about 490 head, I met in with four men whe had bought a bull two years before for £40, and it had turned out so well that they resold it to Cruickshanks for £60 to act as a stock bull.

A breed | very much admire, either as a pure breed or the cows crossed with a Short- horn bull,is the Angus or improved Aberdeen, No kind gives so good a price as these when fat. They are the beau ideal of a butcher’s beast. A heavy, full-fleshed carcase, plenty of lean meat well aud evenly covered with fat, little offal, and a good hide. The only objection might be the strong sun acting on the black skin: but your Iisiand would, | think, suit them admirably. The mest famous herd in this country, or, I may say, in

of Villyfour, Aberdeenshire ~is to befsold in August; so if any ef yeur farmers have the pluck and the means to go in for some of them, they may command my services; and I think they weuld do themselves and eoun- try a benefit by purchasing a few.

To sum up, your farmers should strive to turn out an ox, at 3 years old, from 1,350 to 1,450 Ibs. (live weight); and a wether or Gimmer sheep, once clipped, good fat, with plenty lean meat, from 70 to 80 lbs. dressed, These are the sort ef article that will always command the tep figure and in this country a large rumber of people can alford to pay for, and will have this sort of thing. As 1 said before, yeu can send us bulls, cows, rams, or ewes, everything can be sold and eaten here. But the man who wants to make thé best of it, should strive to excel—should study what is the article that
