EXHIBITION.

im his opinion, the large amounts of money now lying in the various banks ef the Island, are due to the construction of the railway? Is it not patent that had the railway not been built, times in the Island would now be much harder than they are ? Aad, are not the advantages of the rail- way to those sections of the countrythrough which it has been built, now apparent? Is it any wonder, then, that the people should lend a willing ear to a project which would have the effect of profitubly employing the c»pital —besides supplying the facilities of a railway to sections of country in which they are needed— now Jocked up io our banks or invested at low rates of interest, and of increasing the circulation of money throughout the Island?

We are surprised thar our western con- temporary, the Summerside Progress, should be #0 ready to oppose railway ex- tension; and to raise the bug-bear of “direct taxation.” Isit right that after the people of Belfast and Murray Harbor have been heavily taxed, in order that Summerside may profit by the advantages

afforded by a railway, the people of Sum | merside should ridicule the 1dea of sup-

Why do the magnificent schemes of its founders seem destined never to be realized —the straight, wide streets to remain un- trodden, and the well-ordered lots to re- main houseless forever? Why do the bright anticipations of its projector now appear to be nothing but “ the baseless fabric of a dream.”

These quvestions—or questions such as these —must foree themselves upon the minds of all thoughtful persons who visit Georgetown ; and they are well worthy of Georgetown has, certainly, one natural drawback. It is situated on a neck of land with whieh there is not a direct land route either from the east or from the west. But steam ferryboats might be put upon tle Montague and Cardigan Rivers, and the whole country east as far as Dundas, and west to Murray Harbor, thus be constant

iy in direct communication with the Cap ital of the County. This should have been done twenty years ago Had it been done, Georgetown would now, we believe, present a different appearance. There is throughout Georgetown a feel- ing of dissatisfaction with the Legislature for its slackness in providing the accom-

those cautious conservative principles in human nature, as Mr. Laird and his aoti-railway followers did. Its policy | may prove successfu! ; but itis nota right or honest policy. The proper course for | @ public journal to pursuc is, in our | opinion, to warmly support the extension | of the railway; to carefully and fairly criticise the merits and demerits of every scheme advaneed ; aud to couusel caution | on the acceptance of any.

There are now two schemes before the publie; that of Mr. Gregory and that of the Hon. J.C. Pope. Both are worthy of consideration. Mr. Gregory proposes that a company be formed ; that the farm. ers take stock,—which they may pay either in land or labor—or both ; and that the Loea] and Dominion Governments be solicited to grant the Company liberal subsidies. The advantages of the scheme are that the branch lines may be cheaply ‘built and cheaply operated ; that the stock- holding farmers, being interested parties, will turn all the patrovage they possibly ean into the railway, and be enabled to

| vancement. '

We rather incline to think that) the Progress is attempting to trade upon |

obtain railway accommodation free oi! charge. The objections are, first :—that it is doubtful whether the farmers would

* be able—limited in the matter of time, | and short-handad as they are—to grade |

the line by their own lubor; second, that as the braneh lines would not be under the same management as the main line, there would have to bea separate superintend- ent, a separate staff of officers, separate workshops, ete., all entailing heavy ex- penses—expenses which would be un- Beeessary were the muin trunk and branches all under the same ownership, and management. It is quite possible, too, that the rival superintendents and officials might be unsble to agree—and

their bickerings might be greatly te the | town and Montague.

is still withont steam communication; and still advances not. We doubt, however whether the Legis-

lature is so much to blame as the people |

of Georgetown themselves. True, the whole Island is, to a certain extent, in-

terested in the prosperity of their town ;

but they are so, personally, specially, |

particularly. And they should argued, petitioned and agitated unitedly, until the boon they asked was granted. But Georgetown has been the victim of

apathy, of conflicting opinions and petty |

personal interests. There has been no long~sustained and united effort on the part of its people,—and consequently its interests have been neglected. Moreover, the “‘ slow and sure ’’ principal, has, per- haps, been followed rather too closely by its leading men. So long as they were making a little money, they cared not to risk their savings in enterprizes which might or might not make more money;

j and, in the meantime, more enterprizing |men, of other localities, stepped in and

obtained the trade which should have been the’ rs,

We are gladto learn that the suicidal policy ofthe past is about to be done away We bear, with pleasure, that the merchants have formed an Association, the leading idea of which is to be, active and united effort in the interests of the town. We trust “ more accommodation for the

| public’ and an improved state of trade | will be the result.

The first object of the Association should, undoubtedly, be to procure a steam ferryboat to ply between George

branch railway; for, backed up by the Dominion Government, the superintend- ent of the main line must always be the most powerful. These objections, we think serious, but not necessarily fatal.

Mr. Pope proposes that the present railway be obtained from the Dominion Gevernment, and run by the Local Gov-

ernment; that the Local Government bor- row money—on the security of the rail- way— paying the interest with the profits ; build the branches ; and that all the roads be under one and the same management This scheme is not, certainly, open to the same objections as Mr. Gregory's. Yet, we do not think it faultless. While there can be no doubt that under proper msn- agement the railway would yield suffi- cient profit to pay the interest of the money required to build the proposed branch to Murray Harbor, we' do doubt whether the Local Government could so manage it. The management of the Local Goveroment in small matters has not

- been 80 brilliant or efficient or economical, that the management of the railway— which is a large matter—may be yielded up to it with implicit confidence. Until it is assured that the railway officials would not be turned out and replaced by a fresh batch after every election, we think it would be unwise to invest the Local Government with such a powerful means of exercising corrupt influence upon eleetors, a8 a railway.

But while we see objections—not in- superuble—to both the schemes advanced, we would support either rather than the branches should not be built. We see no reason, however, why an amicuble ar- rangement might not be made between the Dominion and Loca] Governments, by which the extension required would be provided. We will return to the subject. Ia the meantime, to the people dircetly interested we ssy— AGITATF.

Scrazus Courr.—The Fall Term of the Sapreme Court was opened at St. Eleanor «, on Tuesday last, Judge Hensley presiding. The following gentlemen compose the Grand Jury :—Thos. Sims. Foreman ; Dan’! Thompson, John McDonald, Jas. Uunter, Bi. Darby, Arch. McIntosh, Robt. Wright, & Arsenault, Benjamin Haywood, John Smith, Jas. Wright, John Lord, Isaac Clark, Joseph Ives, Benj. Mills, D. J. Gillis, J. Hall, Alex. Anderson, Wm. Simpson, J. Anderson, and John Maynard.

and the udtredden streets, they are not used. Yet the steamer is absolutely needed. At present, if a per- son living in Montague —only one or two miles from Georgetown—comes home from Charlottetown or elsewhere by the even- ing train, he has either to get off at Car- digan Bridge and travel eight or ten miles in the dark, or else to go on to Georgetown and wait there all night—paying hotel charges the meanwhile—for a passage by the ferryboat next morning. This is only one instance of the necessity of a steam- boat to ply at all hours up to nine or ten at night.

After a steamboat has been procured for the Montague Ferry, the Association would do wel! to turn its attention to the promised bridge at Poplar Point and the proposed steamboat for Cardigan Ferry If these were provided, the journey from Souris would be shortencd some twelve or fourteen miles; and a large and wealthy section of countrf, now practically cut off from Georgetown, admitted to communi- cation with it.

These suggestions have, posstbly, been anticipated by the Association. Still, their publication can do uo harm, ard they may do good.

In Bell county, Texas, there is a farm of 4500 acres, which is inclosed by one fence and cultivated by thirty-two owners, every one of whom are unmarried.

England has settled claims on account ofthe Abyssinian war amounting to over $45,000,000, and has others agregating $150,000, under consideration.

Messrs. FE. D. Jewett & Co., who recent~ ly failed have been compelled to assign, the necessary proceedings having been taken by the Banks in St. John.

A telegram from Winnipeg says the de- cision of the Dominion Government in re- ference to the P mbina branch railway, has caused great excitement in that city; at several meetings held, annexation to the United States was proposed. Heavy rain, however, prevented any roitous demon- strations.

Roccu on St. Joun Girts.—The St. John ‘Watchman,’ in a notice of the exhibition says a Halifax gentleman, perhaps he is an offi@@r of the Garrison, stares hard at the pretty faces that pass him, and wonder why the Haligonian girls are not gifted with complexion so clear, lips so red, and eyes soarchly bright.’ And the Halif#x - Citizen’ retorts :—‘All we can say is, if the ‘ Watch. man’s’ statement is true, St. John must have cleared out its old, and imported a new stock of girls within a very tew weeks. A common remark among strangers in St.

John hitherto has been, ‘What wretched sidewalks, and plain women.’ ’

Mr. Galbraith with his brass band. Pleas- ing, as it must have been to the farmers of King’s County, to see lively interest taken in thes exhibition by the worthy represen- tatives of tho farmers of Queen's County, it must have been still more pleasing to be visited by their esteemed and venerable Lieutenant Governor, His Honor, accom- panied by his Private Secretary, Mr. R. R. Hodgson, and the Hon Mr. Haviland, Leads er of the Government in the absence of Mr. Owen, arrived by morning train. Without loss of time he proceeded to inspect the stock and the various articles on exhibition, Upon arriving at the Drill Shed. he was greeted and welcomed by the Hon. A. J. MeDonald; and the national anthem was played by the baad. tis tlonor, thereupon, delivered a short address, in which he ex- pressed his gratification at visiting George - town on such an interesting occasion. The in- terchange ofideas and opinions which takes place at exhibitions of produce and manu- factures, is, of itself, His Honor said, a great advantage to farmers and mechanics. Lo- cal industry should, he said, be encouraged in every shape and way ; he hoped and be- lieved a greater interest in home manufac- tures and productions, would result from these County Exhibitions, and that King’s County in general, and Georgetown in pars ticular, would prosper. Georgetown ought toimprove. It has the facilities afforded by a magnificent harbor—open earlier in the spring and later in the fall than any other 'in the Island—of which it cannaf be rob- bed. It should prosper, and, he hoped, it would prosper. The show of cattle, His Honor pronounced good. After the ad- dress, he inspected the articles on exhibi- ‘tion in the drill shed. He then rested and |dinedat Mr. Aitken’s, and returned to Charlcttetown by the eyening train. HORSES.

The show of horses was creditable. Apart from the two imported draft-horses —sent by | the Commissioners of the Stock Farm, jand |the imported blood-horse ‘Young Rol-

and ‘—belonging to Messrs. F. Morrow, & “o., of Souris, —there were many first class animals on the ground. The carriage colts (under three years) belonging to Messrs. | William McKeown, Grand River, Donald | Stewart, Cardigan, and Alexander Hamilton, New Perth, respectively —all sired by |: Young Roland’— are excellent stock. | Three carriage fillies—sired by the same | horse — were also much admired, Mr. | Danie! Singleton, of Murray Harbor,exhibit. 'ed avery finelysproportioned chestnut, 25 | years old, weighing 980 Ibs. —sired by ‘ Glad. | stone’ —out of a ‘ Flying Frenchman’ mare; | and William Praught, of Sparrows Road, had | on exhibition a very pretty lively carriage | mare, two anda half years old weighing 930 lbs.—sired by ‘Jacques Cartier.’ The | show of draft~horses was large and good. | With a few exceptions,there were no second- class animals ; and it might perhaps be in- | vidious to discriminate. Our prize list | shows the best exhibited.

CATTLE.

Ve were pleased to note a decided im- provement in the breed of cattle exhibited. Mr. William Pool, of Montague, and Mr. Alex. Hamilton, of New Perth, showed very fine highly bred stock. A bull belonging to the former was much admired; and two calves belonging to the latter were thought ty many to be fully equal to those bred on the Model Firm. E. Vickerson, Bridge- | town, exhibi‘ed a bull under three years which took the first prize: A heifer, two- and-ashalf years old, owned by Dr. Kaye, | isa beautiful animal; and two mitch cows, | exhibited by Roderick Munro, E.q., took | first and second prizes. Mr. Robert Dewar,

of New Perth, exhibited a very promising

bull calf. A well bred ox, owned by Mr, Hession, Georgetown, was much noticed on the grounds.

| |

SHEEP.

There was a poor show of sheep. Only one or two really fine ones were exhidited. Two rams belonging to Mr. John McDonald, New Perth, and a pair of ewes belonging to Mr. Robert Dewar, were worthy of note. Mr. William Allan, of Georgetown, exhibit~ ed some fair sheep.

PIGS.

There was, however, a fine show of Pigs. Messrs. William Poole, and John Annear Montague, Henry Trainor, Baldwin's Road, John Miller, Summerville, and F. Bovyer, Georgetown Royalty, were the principal ex- hibitors. We noticed that the ‘ White Chester’ breed was very pronounced in the prize pigs. That breed is evidently a favorite in King’s County.

GRAIN AND GRAIN SEED.

Of these there was a poor show; had it not been for the previous day’s rain it would doubtles have been better. Messrs. George W. Miller and Frederick Moar, Georgetown Royalty, exhibited bags of excellent barley. Wo refer our readers to the prize list.

ROOTS, VEGETABLES AND FRUITS.

The show of these productions was fair, Mr. William McConnell, Georgetown, ex~ hibited some fine carrots and cabbages and also some citron melons. The beets shown by Messrs. George W. Millar and Herbert Moar were very good. Excellent apples were’shown by Mr. Bernard McDonald, Mrs. Thomas, Mr. Joseph Robinson, and Mrs. Archd. Shaw. Mr. William Poole showed a basket of exquisite plums, and Mr. David McLure some nice plums. Mrs, James Bourke showed a fine collection of fruit. Some fine apples were shown by E. Alleyne, Exq., of Mount Stewart, but, much to that gentieman’s disappointment and disgust, he did not get a prize.

MISCELLANEOUS. .

The ladies did well. A spleudid speci- men of needle work in wool, was exhibited by Miss Avbie Cogswell, of Georgetown. It was a picture, elegantly framed, represent~ ing David playing on the harp before Saul. The colors in it were artistically shaded, and the effect of the whole very fine. Twocrayon drawings, by Miss Augus- ta Munro, were nicely done, A collection of fancy needle work, by Mrs. Thomas, wee well worthy of note. ‘he ladies of Murray Harbor exhibited many useful articles in mats, hearth-rugs, ete. J, A. Rutherford, E:q., exhibited a collection of stoves, a metal plough, and some other articles well

in future. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,
