THE Board of Agriculture and the local committee sccmto be alive to. the work which devolves upon-them iii connex- ion with too approaching Prcvmcial Exhi- I bition. We see by the Journal the Boa-rd of Arts and Manu/Octures that the committee has adopted plans for the erection of permanent stalls for 199 horses, sheds for head. of cattle. and a machine and carriage shed 272 feet long. by ‘22 feet Wide. Tenders have been accepted for the construction of the horse stable and. the machine and carriage shed at a cost of $44,910; The acceptance of tenders for she cattle shed is postponed “ ilntil the committee is assured of having “sufficient funds to meet the expense of “ permanent building.” Perhaps the most desirable way in Wllicll the permanent buildings could be erected would be as an' annexe to the present structure, which is - Herald. Northern Railway of Banana. French River, Lake Nippissingue and Lake Demiscainingue. It would appear to us, however, that the quickest and easiest route now would be, via. Ottawa and the Ottawa and Turtle rivers direct. This is a matter surely worth inquiring into. A gold llt‘ld within a few hundred miles ofus as the crow flies, is no joke,aud it says something for its probability. when we recollect that it is in the same longitude with Columbia and Cariboo, thus render- ing it probable that the gold bearing reef extends across the c6ntinent and crops out lastly at Nova Scotia.â€"â€"Kingst0n Time ‘1 able takes etlcct Monday, Dec, 16, ’61 MOVlne ivon'ru’ Mail.

It is gratiâ€" fying to see that incrcaned attention has been given to the departments of Arts and Manufactures. Nearly $3,000 are to be given ill prich ill these two departments. This is much ill excess of former years, and will be received with favor. The Mechanical department of all the previous exhibitions have been inferior to the Agricultural. Perhaps this, iii a measure, arose from the name of the Exhibition. and the object for which the Board was originally created. Some sixteen years ago the manufactures of the Province were scarcely worth noticing. Now it is different; and each successive your shows an improvement on that which went before it. And the fact that the Board ongri- culture and the local committee have jointly recognised this will tend to stimulate the manufacturers of the Pro- vince to still greater exertions. \Vc trust that the exhibition to be held here in the ensuing September will bear no sort of comparison, so far as manufactures are concerned, to those of previous years. Every manufacturer ought to be prepared to send something. As iii Manufactures so in Arts. The Fine Arts especrally have of late had more votarics than formerly. This is a natural consequence of an advancing state of refinement. It must he confessed that in the matter of paintings the past exhibie tions have prescndted a sorry show: but we expect somewhat better things in Sep- tember next. It is to be hoped that a suitable place for the exhibition of paint in'gs will be provided. we have already pointed out the unsuitableness of the gal- lely ofthc present building for this pur- pose. llardly a worse place for an exhi- bition of pictures could be conceived. The gallery will be sufficwntly taken up with ladies’ work and other articles of that nature; and no pictures should be allOWetl to be hung there. \Ve trust the corn- mitf‘ee Wlil consider this matter. Ii is of some irnl'iortance, and the more so as the list of prizos has been considerably in- creased this year. T E RBI BLE TRAGEDY BUFFALO 1N On Thursday night last, Moses Menard, a Frenchman residing in Buffalo, accident- ally shot his wife under the suspicion that she was a burglar who had entered his room. 116 states that on his return home late from work, he was informed that some men had endeavoured to gain admission to the house during his absence. She per- suaded him to load his gun which be placed .by the bedside. Ill his statement he says: I was woke by some noise, and found ‘that the light on the table had been put out, It was almost dark ill the room, but I could see somebody standing between the little table and the head of the bed. I was so cXcited that I did not think ofils beingr my wifeâ€"remembering what I had told her when I Went to sleepâ€"and snatched my gun from the corner, raised quickly, and with my back at the foot of the bed, fired at the shape. I didn’t know whether I aimed at the head or where. I heard a fall after 1 had fired, and getting up and slightly opening the front door to let -thc light in, saw it was my wife. The curtain over the window made the room so dark before. The discharge. of the gun attract- ed the attention of some oflicers who enter- ed the house. The room was a smallone. about fifteen fest square. At the further left llandcornor stood a bed. and in front ofthc bed, prostrate on the floor, lay the corpse of a woman. 11311 the upper part of her head was shot offand a pail-full of blood and brains surrounded it. The wall beside the bed, about six feet above the floor, u as spotted with brains and perforat- ed with shot, and a chair directly beneath held the fumes of brains that had fallen. Standing just ill front stood Menard flim- self, half dressed, holding his trowscrs in his hand. In the middle of the bed lay an infant sluinbering. Menard, was taken into custody. _._._- A GOLD FIELD IN CANAD.i.â€"-\Ve bavercCeived information from a retired naval officer, who was engaged some twenty years ago by the British Govern- ment ill exploring and» surveying the coun- try ill the neighbourhood of Lake’s Nip~ pissingae Demiscaminguc, lludson’s Bay Territory, that he found gold there, and brought back several rich specimens of it. The description he gives of the geological formation, corresponds closely with that of Columbia and Caliboo, namely, hills of granite and slate, the lake Deilliscanlingue being bounded: on the w‘cst'b-y granite hills, and Oil the east by slate bills, the granite and slate cropping out in many places together. \Vith this mountain formation it is quite probable that gold is to be found ill abundance in the lakes and rivers into which the hills shed their water, namely, the lake Deiiliscamiilgilc in tlie' Sturgeon Iiiver below that lake, if not also above it, also French River, and perhaps even in Turtle River, which runs easterly, and is, no believe, a tributary to the Ottawa, v Ls Richmond Hill. . . . 8 ‘24 a m. 5 10 p.iii.

MR J. W. GAMBLE, who has been unanimously selected by the Con- servative Convention, to contest this division in opposition to the Clear Grit nominee, Mr. McMaster, begins his canvass with every pros- silect of sucess. ReSpccting the comparative Vclaims of the two can- didates, there can scarcely be a difference of Opinion,at least among those who can View the matter in an unpredjudiced light. In busi- ness talent, sllrewduess,and energy of characterâ€"the only grounds on which we can institute a compari- son between themâ€"Mr. Gamble is at least fully equal to his opponent; while in every other respect he is vastly superior. His long residence in this country has rendered him thoroughly conversant with its af- fairs; and intimately acquainted with its wants and resources. lie is well known among the farming community, and generally respect- ed by those wiih whom his busi- ness brings. him ill contact. \Vc have not yet seen his address, but his career while holding a seat ill the House of Assembly may serve as a pretty good criterion as to the line of policy he may be expected to pursue in the future. Many per- sons will doubtless rccolfect lllt' straightforward and indepmdent course he pursued on the subject of Separate Sclloofs. On all occasions, both ill his place in parliament, and as a delegate to the synod of the Church of England, he has :ver strivcu to preserve our educational systeiil from the inroads of secta- rianism. In direct opposition to a 'lul‘g‘e portion of the clergy of his own church, as well as to many of its prominent members, he has always advocated the interests of our Comaou Schools; and by his able arguments in favour of non- scctarian education, has not un- frequently made converts to his views. On the other band,Mr. McMaster has never taken any prominent par. in public allairs. His whole atten- tion having been devoted to busi- ness, lie is quite a novice in poli~ ties. In addition to this, be is to- tally wanting in the qualifications necessary to a public speaker. We never heard tila't he has on any 0c- casion attempted to address an audience. If returned, one more would be added to file number of silent members, already far too nu- merous. Mr. Gamble is generally admitted to be an evceedingly flu- .cn: and effective speaker, powerful in debate, clear and logical in argu- ment. These qualifications, toge- ther with Ills familiarity with par- liamentary routine, will enable him to take a prominent position in' the deliberations Council. found among ourselvessoeminently qualified to represent the agricul- tural interests of the Division, we can see no possible reason why a Toronto merchant, whose interests cannot be identical with those of farmers. should be forced upon the electors. Let us have a represen- fafivc, who, by his ability, know- ledge and experience, is capable of discharging his dhties- creditabl and efficiently, and who feels a di- ncar its source.

I To some in Fox Hunt Near Toronto. [To the Editor of the York Herald] Sinâ€"The fox llunt.as annOunced, came off on Wednesday last, and a miserable affair it was. At 10 o’clock a.m., about 30 horsemen, a number of carriages, a multitude of footmen, and 6 or 7 good-flir- nothing hounds assembled on the common at the head of Balllursl S1,, in the north western part ofille city. All were anxious for the start.â€" Some wished to exhibit. their horse- manship to advantage, while othch were desirous to hear the haying of the bounds. Finally a start was made for a field about a mile out- side the City limits, on the road in Weston. The first victim of the day's sport, was then uncaged.-â€"- He run about 2200 yards and poked his rinse into the corner of a snake fence, where- he was caught by the bounds and badly worried. All Of- I'icer’s servant soon came to the rescue, and carried the frightful animal by the tail to Capt. Massey. As the fox was unable to run for- Illt‘l‘, a ring was formed by the crowd round the gallant captain, and the dogs to witness the execu- tion Of poor Reynurd. That part of the programme was performed ill rather a barbarous manner. A con- test. then ensued between poor foxy and his relentless pursums, tl'li-r hounds being too cowardly Iu (lis- paich him at Oboe. Finding that his foxship was likely to survive the attack of the dogs, Capt. Mas- sey. who ~lliiwcil fliil‘lsclf to be quite expert in his profession, knocked the poor animal on the head until. quite [lors de combat. and unable to offer any further resistani-c; the gallant captain reiilarking at the same time, 'this is the first fox 1 ever had to kill.’ The second in- tended victim was then started, and made tracks in such a hurry that Ill :1 gifl'y he was ‘ noirherc ;’ and, owing to a defect in the nasal acute- ness of the useless hounds, made good his escape to parts unknown 1 â€"â€"for all lknow, he may be running yet. There were two charming young ladies on horseback who graced the | sport with their presence, one of whom was very CODSPICUOUS-IJE1W ing a white leather in her llatâ€"-as she gallopccl through hill and dale after the bounds, attended by her faithful gallant. It lent a magic Cl’l'dl‘lll to the fun. thus to see young nymphs enjoying the sports of the chase. The fooliilcn, very good- naturedly, levelled the fences with the ground that the llilrscillen migh: get over illore easily. The hunters, after ‘ beating,y about the bush.’ rc- ‘urned to town about two o’clock. Some of the horsemen were over~ flowingr vvi'h L’l'iillllldt‘, that their heads remained in the some posi- tiou they Occupied in the morning. 01L man was ilnllorseil while try log to force his steed over a lilth Lirook about 3 or 4 feet wide, and came very nigh being throw n head- first into it by the animal elevating ilis l‘ecls rather too high ill the "ctllcrial cleiilcnt.’ Yours, truly, TYPO.
