This inBtUatioo has dragged along a feeble eviatance for two years, bat is uow deyek^ing into a genaine cattle iair; Inst Satnrday over one hundred- head of fine cattla were on the fair groand, more than half of which founds market at fair prices, Mr. F. Bnrton sold a cow for $48, Mr. Thibodo disposed of 72 head the •day previous. Mr. Scott of Owen •bound was thie purchaser. We can 'see no reason why Markdale should jnoc have one of the best Monthly fairs iin the county, being located in the midst of a prosperous agricaltural district, and haymg an excellent feur ground of five acres, secured by an eight foot fence, so that cattle can be left with perfect safety from breaking out, there is nothing wanted on the part sf buyers but to know that a large number of cattle will be o^ered, while all is wanted on the part of farmers is to know that good buyers will he on haui. It is Mr. Scott's intention to atcend Markdale fair in future, and others have determined to attend so that we may reasonably expect the fair to £prow rapidly from month to month. Let our business men give it their encouragement as they should. Taesdfty Ae Ifith July I left llwikdalc^ iaok mj iUpvtaue aame eraimg^ from.OiMn Soond per b. S. MtufM^ â- ErifiQg •!

I left Manitowaning the following day (Thursday) by stage for Providence Bay district and thefartber I travelled ihe more discouraged I grew, there being nothing but rocks on either side I determined however to further test the matter more fully and to' that end. left the stage at Michael's Bay and walked across the conntry by stage road but lound a continuation of rocks with an occasional farm house by the way,bnt how they existed was a mistery to me, however on farther investigation I found that the ledge of rock only extended a short distance back from the main road when a beautiful stretch of conntry opened to view extending for miles and making beaatiful settle- ments, and I further learned from the residents tiiat in digging wells they often dig 80 to 40 feet before coming to rock.

Notice. â€" ^We wish it distinctly understood that we do not hold oarselves responaib'e for th« opinions expressed by our correspondents Providence Bay dislrictj to which I reached, it is a fine agricultoral country one of the prosperous fanners being your old neighbor Samuel Wilson. There are also beautiful lakes in this district; Lake Mindemoya is over eight miles long and an averaged of about three miles wide, and has a most remarkable shore. This is a remarkable body of water in more than one respect, Ist you can drive a horse and buggy mto- it any place for tdii or fifteen rods before coming to swimming depth and in the second place you can drive all around it with one wheel in the water and the other on dry land and still your baggie be quite level. In reference to the clear- ing of bush land it is quite different here from what it was in Grey C!o., in as much as the stumps pull out as easy the same year the clearing is done as they would in your vicinity after ten years rotting. There has been three steam threshers shipped to the Island this season, and several mowing machines are already in this part. There are schools and churches in convenient distances. Those who visit the Island bhould not content themselves with a driye along the highway, and then. leave the place disgusted but take a walk baok through the country and a different story will be heard from each persons on their return. Thanking you Mr. Editor for valuable space. Yours Truly, Wes. Whitbv. It Serves Them Bight. To the Editor of tJie St\ndabd. Deab Sib,â€" I understand that five of the hopefolls of your Tillage.suiumonedto appear before the magistrate. Brown, on Saturday last, to answer a charge of "Disorderly Con- duct" and breaking the door» and windows of one Mrs Duff, who keeps a house of question- able notority, and were fined each in the sum of about $8. J. am also informed by some of the neighbors that this is not the first time their midnight slumbers have Dnen disturbed by the rowdyish conduct of some of the same parties, and if repeated will have to answer before a higher tribunal. I am surprised that belf-respect, if not shame, would not keep young men (who ought to occupy a respectable position in society) from such conduct. The blame is laid on whiskey, which was taKen in quantities by some of the parties. Your village has got an unenviable notority. A gentleman on the cars, who had remained over night in your village, and had witnessed tbe conduct of some of the youths, remarked that there were boys in your village prepar- ing themselves for the penitentiaiy and the hangman's rope. Your hotel-keepers are also guilfjr of selling liquor on Sunday, contrary to law. Your licensed groceries sell Osprejr. From our own corregpondent. Crops are looking better since rain.

Stewart, of the west back hne, happened with a sad accident some days ago^ while in the woods felling a lodged tree, the tree gave way sooner than expected and fell upon Mr. Stewart. He could sowcely have espaped death but for a brash hei^ over which the tree fell, thus destroy- ing the force of the fall. Mr. James Wallace and wife, a few days ago, while driving down a steep hill the horse becoming unmanageable, threw them both out of the buggy. Both received some injuries. Eev. J. J.

The storekeepers in this village report a very brisk trade. Customers come here ten or fifteen miles, claim- ing that they can get better value for their cash and produce here than dsewhere. Our good natured "limb of the law" familiarly known as "Big Dan" excited the iru of a couple of rowdies a few days ago by doing his duty in his capacity as constable. It seems they waited until they bad become well "liquored ap" when, finding their ansuspected victim on the bridge, attacking him in a most brutal maimer.

Mr Keefer, of Halton, preached in the l^jBthodist Chnr'ch here 00 Sab- bath last. The sacrament of the Lord's Supper was administered at the close of the preaching sprvice. In the evening Mr. Eeefur addressed a large audience in Victoria Hall on the Scott Act and its working in Halton. Mr. £. is an able speaker, and his ad- dress was productive of much good m the cause of temperance, and fiirnished a vast fund of information on the Scott Act work A Council of Boyal Templars of Temperance is being organized liere. Miss Annie Midnleton has been very ill for the past ten days. Our Bitse-ball club have received a challenge from the 'Atlantic" club of Toronto to i4ay them in Dandalk on Monday, the 18th inst.
