The Agricultural Societies of the 'West Riding of York and Township of Vaughan, held their Fall Exhibition at ‘Voodbridge, on Thursday and Friday last, the 18th and 19th inst. It was expected that this show would be the best. ever held, and those interested cer- tainly had good reasons for their expec- tations. The officials and members spared no efforts, and did all that could possibly be done-to make the exhibition a success, which it certainly was, in point of entries. The list this year was as follows: horses 222, cattle 115, sheep 103, pigs 59, poultry 60, roots 106. vegetables 67, fruits 92, grain and seeds 97, implements 77, dairy produce 266, home manufactures 131, Ladies’ work 414, fine arts 70, extras 85, being in all nearly 2,000 ; while last year there were only 1,032. Nothing was wanting but fine weather to make this one of the finest meetings these Societies ever held. Thursday was mainly devoted to plac- ing the exhibits, and getting things in order generally. It was not by any means a p'easant day and certainly gave little promise of fine weather for Friday. As was anticrputed it began to rain early Friday morning, and continued to drizzle, drizzle all day long. The roads had not been very good for some days pre vious, and this rain made it hardly pos sible to travel on many of them. Nearly three thousand persons were present on the grounds, however, no doubt many of them expecting they would have a pleasant afternoon. The grounds at Woodbridge are situated in the Humber flats, and are very pleasant and suitable in fine weather, but on Friday last, the. moving around ol so many people and so much stock, resulted in making nearly the whole place a mass of mud. Woodbridge Union Exhibition. In the evening a large meeting was held in the \l’ellinulnn Hal], whleh was successfully addressed by Messrs. Gib- son, Barker, Wood, Marr, Milne. Dun- can and Boulthee. The question of protection to the farmers was dwelt upon by the different speakers at some length, and all agreed that the country deserved a “ fair play ” tariff at the hands of our rulers. We must congratulate our friends in the East: Riding at the spirit they display, and whether successful or‘ not they deserve the thanks 01 those who desire to see u change in the men who represent them in parliament. lVest York was alwaysranked high has an agricultural district, and this year, as usual, the quality of the exhibits were excellent. Grain, roots. vegetables and fruit, were all well represented. Among the implements Mr. John Abell's display attracted general attention. \Vilson’s Fanning Mill was also observed doing good work. Some fine Durhams were to be seen amongst the cattle. Sheep, pigs and poultry were well represented. The sheep were of'good breeds, and,with the pigs, were in fine Condillon. The display of'buttcr was large and cf'excellent quality. The Ladles’ and Fine Arts Departments contained a large number of well executed and attractive articles, and called forth the admiration of many spectators. Dinner was hold in the evenng at the [Ill-:orman Hotel. Mr. John Abell took the head of the table, supported on either hand by His Worship, the Mayor of Toronto, Ald. Close, and several gon- tlemen of Toronto. A large number of persons were prosent,and a very pleasant evening was spent. The-exhibit. of horses was very fine, there beinsr many entries in ' blood, im- ported and Canadian draught, roadsters and carriage horses. Messrs. J, Lourie, Scarboro ; R. McGeachy, Chas. Porter, Simon Shank, Wm. Jackson, James Stevenson, Vaughan ; and some others exhibited splendid animals. A meeting of the Central Committee ofthe Conservative Association of the East Riding of York, was held at the Wellington Hotel, Markham, on Mon- day last; and although some persons were not there, whoit was thought might have put in an appearance, yet upon the whole, the Ridlng was well represented. The question of choosing candidates to contest the Riding at the next election, was the most important busi- ness. Several names were brought for- Wardwithout coming to any decision upon the matter, it being thought, as the election will not come off before probably a. twelve month, that it would be better to take more time to consider the names of the different gentlemen mentioned: Subscription $1, in advance ; if notso$k5u 1031 R.

Investigations have been going on during the last week into the matter of the stolen examination papers. It has been clearly shown by evidence delivered on oath that many teachers were in the habit of obtaining copies of the examinv ution papers months before the examina- txnn, from printers employed in the office where they were issued. The investigation has not yet been finished.

Whilst we are at all times happy to receive com- munications from our friends containing mat- ters of both local and general interest, it. must be understood that we do not endorse their (minions unless editorially so stated. DEAR SIR,â€"â€"In your issue of' the 20th ult. I noticed a communication signed “Liberal,” asking information re- garding the hiring of the Richmond Hill Band for the Grit bun feed at Unionville. “Liberal” wishes to know by whose orders was it that they (the band) took it upon themselves to appear at Unionville that: day ?” Now, Mr. Editor, is not the above question slightly mixed ? In the first place, it the Band was 0; dared to go they did not take it upon themselves to do so; and in the second place, if they assumed the res- ponsibilityr of going they certainly were not ordered. John Severn ,Esq.. has returned home much improved in health from his trip to the Iowa prairies. ‘ Now, sir, to set the matter at. rest and satisfy an inquisitiVe public, I give you the facts of the case. The Band was hindâ€"~as hiring is generally under stood. Two shining li'gh‘s in the Grit ranks in this village, spoke to myself and several other members of the Band, requesting our services at the picnic, and told us we would be paid the same price ($25) that we received from the Conservatives, for playing at the Mark- ham demonstration. With this under standing we hired a conveyance and two outside players, attended the show, aud earned our moneyâ€"~of which we received six dollars. The Band having earned the twenty-five dollars to the satisfaction of their employers, naturally wish to get the balanee due them. Just here comes in the fun. \Ve go to one shining light for this balance, and are politely handed over to the other, who treats us in a similar manner. Now, sir, we object to being made the shutllceock of these two shining bzittledores, for, (like the fable of‘ the boys and the frogs), although it may be fun to them, it is death to us. To the Editor of the Herald. Now, Mr. Editor, I leave it to you and the public whether these Grits are. acting honorably or not. If “the puirty” in this locality had one-half the vim of the Hon. George Brown they would make a “Big Push” and "pay up.” Yours very truly, A MEMBER OF THE BAND. That we have a hard road no one denies. nnd that there is a great deal of pains taken wnh the road no one denies, and plenty of expense too, but we don’t grumble about; this. But I ask. why is it. that with all the labour, pains, and expense put upon Yonge street that we cannot have the profit and comfort of a smooth road? Why should we not be able to send a load to Toronto from the locality of Richmond Hill and back in ten hours, instead of tour- teen and sixteen, and with greater comfort and ease to man and beast? If a question like this was a political one I would not need to wake any one up. The trouble is, our Cour iv Council is all one party. I hope to be able to tell you in next; issue where the mam mistake lies in the management of these roads. “Liberal” thinks there is every proof that the Band went on their own res- ponsibility. In this case, at least, it is evident that the wish is father to the thought, he trying to lead the public to believe that his Grit brethern are maligned. Heis again astray in his assertion about the manliness of the Band in advertising through the press that the Grits acted meanly towards them, as this is the first intimation of the matter frornus, through the press. DEAR Sinâ€"It is a most remarkable fact. constdering all the circumstances, that we have for the length of it. the roughest road in the Dominion. That it is a fact that we have the roughest road I think no one can deny; at, least I would like to see the man that would denyit, to see what he would look like; he would be a natural curiosity. A most singular fact it is that an inteligent community would Submit to pay toll for years and never take any action. All the dissatisfaction noticeable for years has been a slight murmur, or moan, or smh from the man who had been to town as he would drop himselfinto a chair or upon a lounge, all the expression would be, “I have an awful headache, that’s an awful rough road; 1 am sore all over; I b’lieve I’m gettin’ the rheumatics; that’s an awful road.” The fact is, the poor fellow has been jolted till every muscle. bone andjoint in lllS body is almost sliivered, and only that his btains have been well closed in the scull, half of them would have been shook, spilled, or slopped out. W e are a quiet patient. people. It will be many a year before there will be a rebellion in Canada, But Mr. Editor, what I find fault with is, the lack of public spirit to remedy this great evil, and it is a great evil. A rough road tisa great loss to him who usesit. It breaks his waggons, thins. strains, and founders his horses. The teamster has to drive slow, even when there 1's 8 cold wind facing him. He is perched high up as bad as if he were stationed for home upon the top rider of a hiin fence No wonder there is many a sickness and even death as the consequence; or the healthy, fine, robust farmer’s son often gets a chill, the effects of which plants a seed of deseasc in him that makes him sickly the rest of his days. His parents wonder how it is, “ he used to be as strong and fresh, and frolicsonie as a young colt, but now see him; he mopes around like an old ick hen. I can’t make out what has done it.” '1 he fact is, he has been started to town before daylight with a heavy load, his father has said, “Now drive slow, you have a heavy load: it wont do to load light when there is so much toll to pay; don’t let the horses walk fast for the road is very rough, for it may break the waggon or shoulder strain the horses, as it jerks them very sudden when the wheels chuck into the holes. And mind too don’t drive all the tune on one side of the road, for it wont do to have the wheels on one side of the waggon all the time down.” Richmond Hill, Oct. 16, 1877.

Mr. Borbean, a merchant residing in the constituency,will oppose Mr. Laurier at the election on the 27th inst, The Conservative Demonstration in Hamilton, on Wednesday. the 17th inst., was a grand success. Over twenty-five thousand persons were present. On Saturday, the 20th inst, about 3 o‘clock in the morning. a large fire took place at Portland, N. B. Two hundred and thirty houses were destroyed, and four persons burned to death. Loss, $300,000; insuranqe, $80,000. An explosion occurred in a Gallery at. High Blantrie, near Glasgow, on Mon< day last. There were four hundred men in the pit, and but very few were saved. council is governed by tlu necqwities of the Treasurer, who bull doles. Tommy according to» the best infnrnmiion there would be in the treasury 546(‘0 ; bufpzu’ties presenting orders are told to call again to-morrow. 1t is too bad that even our amiable and clever Treasurer should be permitted to ‘ act thus. “Chen spoken to indi- vidually, the councillors condemn in no measured; terms. Some of them sny We have good security, forgetting if they ever knew that such conduct: on their purtis 7» fraud upon the surety; and if a collapse should take $15130, they would. find. them selves in an awkward quandary. Our noble Reeve must come to the rescue. He must quad- ruple his horse DOWCI', er send round the hat or the engine win stop. Our taxes are soon due and amount to $2000. If the Treasurer is not forced to deposit in the bank at interest,it may tide over present pressure. The Dunkin By-Iaw was defeated in Cobourg last week by 177 votes, and in Port, Hope by 2.03. Sinâ€"The book says. thntpntience is a. cardinnfi Virtue. Then, sir. I claim that we in this Mu~ nivhmlity are the most patient, long-sufferian community in this (tun-Mm of ours. We are burthnnoll in this Village by two ulcers. The first is the Highfichool, governed ostensibly by seven Trustees. of the most intelligent, the most leani- ed, the most wealthy, and 1110 most independent of our Electors in the county. ’nut alas. they are drilled by {L little m an who tucks P. H. D. to his name ; lm‘o Commodore Emmy says it should be V. C. G.7meity, Cheek, and Greed. Last year he coerced those warthics into adding $100 to his salary, swelling the sum up to $900, when two- thirls of that sum is really more than he is worth. Tili.“ ye r it is whispered that he will cluim :molhei' lOO. The government of the school is defective ; he does not command the respect of the students, is snnppyinsnlting {LildilTitulblefllld the scenes there are disgraceful. The other ulcer is tho Village Cm‘pni'ntiun having five of the wealthiest, the most intelligent, the mostlem‘ned, the most eligible 01" our intelligoncn, and by 8.1) odds the most independent, and to utter a word that either of Tho ‘ worthios was noseâ€"led would be considered n‘ iinmilt.
