King’s County Exhibition

The annual Exhibition of the Agri cultural Products of King’s County, was held Georgetown yt sterday. Not- withstanding the disagreeable, weather, the attendance was very larze. All por- | tions of the county was represented by

the ‘sturdy yeomanry,’ with their sisters, COUSINS, ecic., W ho AP Pe ared to manifest ; . hvely interest in the success of the} Exhibitior Che management of the] affair was in excellent hands, and the | arrangements tor the convenience of |

Among the chief exhibitors were Robert Dewar, New Perth; Mr. F. G. Bovyer. Georgetown Royalty; and Mr. D. Mc- Donald, New Perth. The show of pigs was very smal], but some fine bred pork- ers were to be seen, nevertheless.

Phe exhibit of grain and grass seeds was large and very good. The wheat which took first prize, weighed sixty- eight pounds, the first prize ; weighed fifty-eight pounds, the white oats forty-nine pounds, and black forty- three pounds.

and the exhibit large and creditable to all concerned. Altogether the exhibit in the Drill Shed was far in ad- vance of previous years. The

butter, cheese, fruit, fancy work, textile fabrics, efc., were excellent. Where macy contributed to make such an inter- esting and successful show, are at a loss to make distinctions.

We are pleased to congratulate the Chairman—Hon D. Gordon—the Secre- iary~Geo. F. Esq.—and the King’s County Commissioners, on the success of this Exhibition, and we now express the hope that the exhibit of 1884 will be as well managed and a greater success than the of yes- terday.

Editorial Notes.

-The Department of Agriculture have received advices from Liverpool to the effect that a cargo of 1,000 sheep from Canada hav: ordered for slaughter on account of one sheep, said by the authorities there to have been affected with scab on landing. A strict investigation has been made by Prof. McEachern, the chief quarantine inspec- tor at Point Levi, and he greatly doubts that the disease was scab at all, for if scab had shown itself during the voyage all the sheep in the pen would have been affected. It is his opinion it was some skin eruption that had shown itself dur- the voyage in consequence of bad weather. It is a well-known fact to the trade that skin eruptions are more common among sheep at sea during boisterous weather, aud that sheep wet with salt water and closely penned are apt to suffer from eczema, which may easily be mistaken for scab. It is hardly needful to point out that it is absolutely necessary for Canadian shippers, seeing that our stock is exposed to such severe and apparently onesided inspection, to use the greatest care in forwarding ooly healthy animals. In this case 999 sheep were sacrificed because one poor lamb was announced tainted with a scheduled disease. This ought to emphasize the absolute necessity for the greatest care being exercised by our shippers and all concerned. :

ments such as the Artizan's Dwellings’

Company, and there are many other similar organizations, are among the most healthy signs of the time. Yet it

should be remembered that the aggregate of all such efforts barely suffices to meet the annual increase of the working popu- lation of London.

A public meeting was held in the Albert Hal!, Leeds, by the Parnellites, on the 29th September last. Thomas Power O'Connor presided over the meeting, which was largely attended, the his remarks, said the immense gathering before him proved the truth of the saying that there was a greater Ireland beyond the sea. It seemed as if Irishmen had taken peaceable possession of the British Isles. The speaker reminded his hearers that they were children of emigrants who lett ireland in tears. He solemnly asserted that the day had come when the elect of the Irish race would assemble on College The Convention had given a fresh proof of confidence in Parnell by committing the fortunes of the federation to seven of his followers. Sexton de- clared that he cared nothing for the con- tempt English men. Biggar said Irishmen were not afraid of a Tory Government. In some prospects Tory rule would pay the Irish well. For in- stance, they would profit from a foreign war. The meeting passed resolutions unanimously expressing confidence in the Irish leaders, pledging itself to the policy in local parliamentary elections best cal- culated to promote the Irish cause, pro- mising iis support to the executive, and congratulating Ulster on its campaign against landlordism and bigotry. A resolution was also unanimously adopted denounciag mob violence and reprobating journals for hounding Protestants to outrages.

—Faction fights in Ireland between Orangemen and Parnellites are creating considerable excitement and alarm. The latter had laid out a programme for a brisk campaigu in the North of Ire- land, which, with but one single excep- tion, the County Down, has been hostile to the policy and principles of the Home Rule party. This party purpose making strenuous efforts to capture Antrim, Armagh and Tyrone at the next general election. Already has the campaign

|commenced, and on Thursday last a

meeting was held at the town of Dun- gannon, in Tyrone county, famous as the place where the National Parliament was organized. The population of the city, especially the voting population pre- ponderates in favor of Orange representa- tion, as it is almost entirely Orange. Te meet the necessity of the case the Home Rulers intend bringing out an ultra- Protestant candidate, but an active sup- porter of their own. The meeting held on Thursday last was, however, very far from being satisfactory to the Parnellites. The Orangemen held a meeting at the same time and passed resolutions strongly antagonistic to the views of the National Party. Soon afterwards there was a collision between the two parties and a free fight ensued. A story was circul- ated and which received considerable credence, to the effect that Mr. Parnell was killed. Though a great many were inclined to redicule the report, yet they were numerous, who believed it to be only too true, and for a time the wildest excitement prevailed. Happily, however, the great Irish agitator turned up all right. The Orange demonstrations still continue and military have been sent North to keep the peace.
