We believe that nine-tenths of tiie ratepayers of Markdde are strongly in favor of having the village incorporat- ed yet the important and much de- sired step is not taken. The cause of the delay appears a mj^tery. The place is destined to become a very im- portant business centre, and it be- comes our leading business men to encourage or adopt any change or course that will advance the financial interests, or improve the moral and social atmosphere of the place and â- we beheve the incorporation of the village is the first step in that direc- tion' We are proud of our country as a "land of liberty," but must ac- knowledge we have too much liberty in ilarkdale. When sporting characters of the surrounding district feel hke having a 'jolification," th»y come to Markdale, where they have an idea tliey can do about as they please, (and tliey tbiuk about right); but their sport often ends in a drunken broil when the air in the vicinity of such is filled with profanity and noise, of a hideous nature, disturbing peaceful citizens, and giving the village an un- enviable notoriety for disorder and wickedness. Now, we have no sym- pathy with this sort of libet ty, and are strongly convinced that Were our village incorporated, and had a live, enterprising municipal council at the head of affairs, a new era would be ushered in, that would exceed our most sanguine expectations. THE INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION. Yes went to the Exhibit of the Arts of Man and Mankind, at Toronto, 'the other day. Our better halt had given our only shirt an extra rub and touch and it was with a feeling of dignified pride that we took our seat on the morning train, amid the wealth, intelligence, and beauty of our land. Arrived at Toronto, we wended our way to the grounds. iWhew! the spectacle was appalling to the view of a back-woods Editor, and caused an expansion of skull that will, in future, compel our hatter to make our pattern, a size larger. â€" To enumerate â€" it was immense. Om' stay was cut short by a. telegram' from the satanic pOwer that rules our Press-room, announcing that despatches had been received from Right Hon. W. Gladstone, asking our opinion as to the desirability of closer political and commercial rela- tions with our Sister West India Is- lands. The reader may reasonably presume that the management of the G. P. R. 'placed a special train at our disposal, and whirled us home at the rate of 67 f miles an hour where, to our chagrin, we found that our "imp" had invented this ingenious ruse to get us home, as he had run out of tobacco, and none of the groceries in town wouild trust him, except upon our own written Order. However, we were long enough on the ground to see that the County of Grey was well represented. Our Markdale has reason to feel proud of ber worthy representative, Mr. J. R. Trimble. He took first prize in the roadster class with his sorrel mare "Rose," byClear Grit second prizfe by brown stallion. Clear Grit, Jr. The best horsemen on the grounds pro- i.ounced the decision unjust â€" that Grit possessed four times the qualities thai; make a perfect horse. Prejudice upon one side, and excellence on the otlier, kept the judges two days, vasqillating between Truth and Dis- honesty but, a compromise was made whereby Postmaster Patteson was called in as Umpire. Mash better had it been that Mr. Hendrie. of Hamilton.the owner of the competitor, had been chosen referee for we have reason to beheve that that gentleman would have scorned to render the de- cision referred to, altho' in favor of his own horse. Mr. Trimble's sorrel colt. "Woodbine Chief," altho' not taking a prize, was highly admired. In the general purpose. dass. Mr. Trimble's "Black Prince" took a third irom a host of competitors from all portions of Ontario. The imported horse that took first prize last year, got nothing this^ year, thus showing the competition *• 'Prince' ' had to con- tend witii. Of Mr.. Trimble's exhibit, the Mail of the 18th inst. says :-,- ' "3. B. Trimble, Mai^dale, has a lot of fine exbibite.

Good iengtl^ and ranging." Oar enterprisin? townsman, Mr. Angus Plewes, comes in for a fair share of distinction, in as much as he carried off first prize for the best pair of ponnies m harness between 13 J and 14^ hands while Mr. Morgan Secord, of Misaford, won second in the same class. Mr. James Myles, ab enterprising farmer near Kimberiey. 4th line Eu phrasia, obtained first for a yearling colt, entire, in the general purpose class. In former days the North portion of our County "ruled the roost " now, the Centre of Grey takes the palm. Our veteran horseman, Hannah, of Flesherton Station, in a field of 34 competitors, successfully came off with first laurels. The Mail says of Mr. Hannah's horse â€" "E. J. Hannah, Flesherton Station, shows d beautiful dark chestnut 4-year-old gelding â€" Chestnut Jim â€" in roadster class 1-5.3, great range, powerful, strong, open action that has carried him to the fro£it in more than one race last winter. Sired by Eden Gold Dust, dam by Clear Grit." We have not yet done â€" It is ques- ti6nable whether any other £!ounty in Ontario has contributed as great a share Of first-class horse-flesh to the exhibition asGrev. our years of develop- ment being considered. To the energy of Dr. Sproule, we are indebted for the first thorougl.bred stallion, "Ex- tra;" then cauie Mr. Brondgest's "Astronomer;" then a better class by Mr. Trimble, so that in a few years the (bounty of Grey will become as famous for its horses as it is to-day for its cattle and sheep.aud the superiority of its grain, pasturage- and fruit. Our sister town of Chatsworth was ably represented by Mr. Thos. Tuck, who exhibited a yearhng, that, in the sporting phrase, wiU "take the spots" off some of the roadsters in a few years. The shock we received at the "Gladstone Hoax" i/revents further comment on the Industrial Exhibit. Hear what the.

MEBBY HOMES OF ENGLAND. Howeyer, 'liltho' Britain has for centuries beenTecOgnizedas the "laud of the brave, the home of the frse" yet, the baseness of humanity, thro' the Fall of Adam, caused the repro- bates who were fostered on this side of the Atlantic by Bri^h money, and motherly care, to do, as all villains do, spurn the hand that reared them. Pirates, smugglers, law-breakers, and villains of every description, joined in the^ unholy League. Britam had all the unholy hord of Europe to contend with at that time, and could not spare troops to fight vagabonds yet the moral and 1. politic^ development of what is now ' Yankeedom is jpsi in proportion to the moral tone of the perjurers whtf organized it.

Messrs, Ford Stmson will be pleased to fill all orders^ of lumber on the shortest notice, and at reasonable terms, and will pay cash for all sound logs brought to their mill. They intend to have a lath and shingle machine in operation by next spring. This is music to the sur- rounding country, as a mill was much needeff here.
