Tho Eiutt Grey Ai;ricultural Society havo been favorod with oxcuptionally tiiii; weathur for their exhibition this yi-ar. The fint day of tliu fair opened warm aud cloudless, which angured well for a big influx of visitors. Heretofore the "fir»t day" has Hini|)ly been a day of preparation and visitorH liave been nil. Thii year attractions were oU'ered, in the ihape of baseball and lacrosse matches, which had tho effect of drawinj; to tlio Empire.

Amoni; many shown We ni>ticed two ma^niticieut sets of har- ness, shown by D. Clayton, Flesherton's harncssinaker ; a lino di8i)lay of stoves by V. (j. Kurstedt ; a very neat case of fancy cbinaware, by M. Uichard.son & Co., which also contaiued tho silver cup won by the ba.5eball club on the previous day; a fine parlor suite, by friend Moore of tho Tea Mectituj at rrUeviKf. The tea meeting held at Priceville i>n Monday evening under tho auspices of the Methodi.tt Church, was an uuijualitied success. A Wu'e number of people were present. Speeches wire yiven by lU-v&.

Wo are glad to hear this, as Lygr^ the afternoon was <iuito fully il is an evidence of the Rtability of the | occupied in witnessing two very intere.st- ing baseball games, of seven inning.s eaoh, Ijetween Ilodwing, I'ricovillo and Klenherton clubs. The games started about two o'clock, I'ricoville l>eing pitted against Redwing, Flesherton having drawn the blank. Priceville had no ap|>arent dilHtiilty in getting away with their first apponents, the score being 20 to 4, in innings as follows : I'ricevdle^L' 12 5 16 3â€"20 IU-dwing-;i (I 1â€" 4 The Redwings then dnijiped to the rear and watched Flesherton knock out Price- ville very nearly as ignominiously as they had been.

Our boys all appeared* in good form, and surprised every spectator on the grounds, as well us their apponents, by most brilliant )>layiiig all around. The clubs were a tie at tho end of the first throe innings, in fact at the end of the fourth innings Flesherton was only one ahead. Thon, in the fifth, tho homo club succeeded in rollinu up six runs, ami Priceville, in the first half of the seventli, ouly succeeded ill counting one, thereby making it niineocH.sary fur Flesherton to play the Ki-veiitlu The score stood tliu .

Jack.sonviUe, Florida, is its base of supplies, to use a military expression, aud of late it has been sending ad- vance corpse into adjacent cities. In Jacksonville it munUrs its victims by|j,'^j 7'lesher't< the hundred daily. In tliat city, up to Sept.23, 1,«7H cases were reported, of which 212 had proven fatal. The •dread disease has also shown itself iu Atlanta, Jackson, IJecatur, and other minor places. Yellow ftver is the bane of the torrid zone, while Biuall- |)0i holds about the same position in the uorlh, although not quite so deadly iu its march, thanks mostly to m better sanitary cotidition. We are indebted to Mr. Petor IIol- man, of Flesherton, for copies of two foreign newspapers â€" Lo Figaro, of Taris, aud the (Swiss Herald, pub- lished at Nice and Geneva. The This gave to Floslierton the handsome Herald is a tourists' pa))er, and Le | »"J costly cup presented by tho directors Figaro is one of the oldest of French dailies, having been founded in 1854, uiidor the able editorial management of Huch brilliant writers as M.

A French corrcsiwndent says that "Fi- garo, of the unporlant newspapers of tho world, is the least reputable and inost fianiily mercenary.' The cir- culation of the paper is from sixty Ui eighty thousand copies each day. M. Albert WolfTis the most iiuporUnt wnler for Figaro.

In fact no such o<j|loction, taking all dvpartinents into ronHidenUion, has ever l>een shown hero. The fruit collection wat Very fine. It was a sight to glaildeii the eyes of fruit-lovers, and must be a aiirpiiso to iiiuiiy outsiders who have lierutofore con Hvdur('<l this lis a not first-class fruit-grow, iiig section. Luscious plums, largo ami small apples of all varieties known in (/'aiiada, grapes , ptvirx, etc., were piesent in large i|iiantie» and of the very finest ijuality. Th(-rr \vn.s a v-ery fair slinwing of vegetables, Mr. Norton, of Holaiid, taking several jirizes. The grain shown waa excellent in ipiality, althongli there was not a very Im'^h display. Ladies' work was scarcely up to tho htandard, al though there wore some very fine speci- mens shown. The competition iu butter and cheeso was not very keen â€" not as keen at it sliould be, by a long way. This is one article which it would |.ay farmers to take more pains with than they do. So miioli butter of inferior (piality is foisted U[)on tho market that it tends to keep the prices low. Most of the liutti^r show n wii.s good -not any of il coming under tho head of inferior, and the first and second prize articles wore prime. SKLOMD UAT. This was the gr<*at day of the show, and opened an auspiciously as did the first, with a bright and cloudless sky. Vohiclus began to come in at an early hour, and by ikjou there was a lal-ge crowd of people in town, on business and ploasuro bent. All tho departiiienta were open. It waa oxpooted that tho Articles in the hall were very tastily ar- ringed, under the instruction and super- vision of several of Flesherton's profes- sional merchant wiudow-dressors. All exhibition which interested tho ladies very much was that made by tho Singer Sewing Machine Company. They had three machiuea uii exhibition, â€" a niagiiirK-eiit drop cabinet, a iilain machine, and an old-f.uihioiied one lis a compari- son with those embodying tlio lato im- provements. It w;ui interesting to note tho radical changes that have taken place in the constructiim of this old and stand- ard macliine. We see before us now an inHtrumeiit that approaches as near, one woulu think, to perfect ii)ii, a.s it could be brought. .Minost no-seless, shuttle very siniple and inserted underneath. It will do etching witli single stitch, and the tension is ada|.te(l to any kind of tbre.id. There is also a Imltonhole maker attach- ment. Thu shuttle is an oscillating liiKik, and of tho most simple construction. Mr. Carson is aj/ent for the machine in Plehhertoii. The poultry exhibit was above average, ill fact good, several grand specimens of geese aud ducks biung shown ; the other fowl were just medium. Mr. J. H. Heard had a fine display of wagons and buggies on the ground, con- sisting of two IuuiImt wagons, two demo- crats, and two bugtfies, all finished in the highent style of Mr, Heard's well-known art. This was the finest display ever shown by the firm. In tho livo stock department lay the Weakest point of the fair (with tho exiK-eption i>f horses), spectators remark- ing that the show of cattlo and other stock appears to be doguueratiiig year by year. This is hard to account for, al- though a partial explanation may lay in the fiut that farmers aro going uiore .iiiil Ml. ire into grain ami fruit rai.iiiig than they have formerly. Horaos,aliiu, appear to claim more attention than horetofore, and by tho exhibl made on Tuesday we Would judge to soino purpose. There wore somo grainl speciiiiens of eiiuine llesh shown, and the exhibit was tho best which Flesherton has seen. We havo devoted so much space to a general ilescriptioii of tho fair that it is impossililo to furnish our readers with tile prize list this week. That will follow in next edition. It is a pleasing duty ti> state that the Fast Grey Kiliibitiou <>f 1SS8 has Injeii an niiipialilieil success, tho receipts amounting to nioru than double those of last year. This was no doubt owing partially to tho pleasant weather which' favored it, but wo are loath to place all to the credit of the weather. We would fain hope that it is rather an awakening of tlie yeomanry to a sense of the iiii- porlance attach.ible to the homo fair, which is of much more benefit to tliem tliin tho hiroe general fairs h inch have 'Sprung into existence within the past few yo.trs. was. Miss Whitmore gave a recitation, which she reiidereu in a pleasing manner. Mr Braiider gave a humorous recitation which was received with much applause, entitled "Sugar for Naething." Her. Mr. Ottewell, to whose energy the people of Priceville are indebted for the excel- lence of tliis eiitertaiiiiiioiit, informs us that it was one of tho most successful concerts ever held in Priceville. About a dozen went over from here, iiicUiding the Flesherton Oleo Club, which render- ed several pieces ijuite nicely.

Two new side tracks havo been laid which were found necessary, owing to tho largely in- creasing shipping trado doue at this point. Our wishes for the bending of the track havo not beeu met, but that is not our fault. A ''man can but do his be.st," and if others fail in their duty "a man" has tho satisfaction of carrying a clear conscience, which the other fellows havo not. Flesherton haa grown and throve for years with tho station where it is, and Flesherton ia going to thrive still more, even if there never comes an up- heaval of dry bones uiid a nearer couiioc- tion with tho railway. =:| Partnership!
