V‘v'einseri. this week the last of a series of letters kindly supplied us by the official reporter at the VVorld‘s Fair, as follows 2»- Agricullure is again the theme of my Muso. By all odds the most. magnificent, not alone in its stately architecture, but also for the typically beautiful statuary with which it is so lavishly adorned, the agricultural building, as it ought to be, is still the gem of this peerless \Vhite City of exhibition palacesaâ€"alaa now in the hands of vandals and soon to vanish like u dream. Out of it and its next door neighbor, the livestock pavrlion, has come more credit to Canada than from all the rest of the fair put together. That. is now pretty well known throughout the Dominion. Ontario’s share has been the lion’s, it is true, but why should that not be 50? Has she not sent more “World Beaters,” be they our four-foot- ed friends and their productsâ€"as cattle and cheese-or the grains and grasses, the fruits and flowers of the earth as they are raised by the honest, siuidy yeoiunu- ry of the premier province of Canadian Confederation. More credit, too, than Wlll ever be given, richly as it is deserv- ed, is due to the wisdom and foresight of the Ontario government in preparing for a representative collection of On- tariu’s wealth of farm, forest and mine, flowors, fruit dlld educational equipment for exhibition at Chicago ; and to the ad- ministrative ability that has been so dis- tinctly displayed in the inanugeuiout of the Provinces affairs here by Mr. Nicho- liis Awrey, the commissioner unanimous- ly appointed by the Legislative Assembly to that responsible and exacting position. As a member of his stafi, I am sure I am ' safe in saying that one of the secrets of his success has been the esprit du corps. with which he has inspired those who have labored with him in the common cause of furthering Canadian interests through the means afforded. by the WUild’s Colilinbiaii Exposition. A large number of awards, just. announced, the of the uidest interest. In grains and grasses there are 186 awards to Ontario, of which eight are to the provincial goV- ernnieut. The educational awards are of very great importance since one of the 22 provincial awards is for a national system of educationâ€"the only One given by the jurors in that department of Lib- eral Arts. Counting up all that have been nuuoiiuced to date as won by Ontar- io, either through exhibits made by the government, by indivinnals, or by dis ti-icts, societies or educatii-iiul bodies, the great total amounts to betWeeii twelve and thirteen hundred. The poultry awards will probably double thOse hand- some figures, as the grand total of Ontarâ€" io’s toll of honor. Another instance of the good that is coming: out of Ontario’s striking exhibits at the World’s Colombian Exposition is prov1ded iu the following iiiCideiit of my experience here. One day last week ii powerful official of the MichiganlCeiiiral railroad called to see about procuring in- formation regarding South Western Ouâ€" turio, more especially as to its fruir grow- ing Capacities. He had been astonished at the splendid show of fruit made by the Pruvruce iii the horticultural building during the whole six months of the fair. Their road, the Canada. Southern, put of the great Vaiiderbuilt system, passes through that part of the country, and the Michigan Central with its liue teruuuable facilities at Chicago and di- rect line between Buffalo, Niagara Falls and Detroit, naturally takes a. deep in terest in the development of traffic such as would be provided were the tier of counties in Ontario along the north shore of Lake Erie turned into the modern Eden it might be with smiling apple and peach orchards, ,viueyards and plum farms. He said he believed the portion of Ontario traversed by the Canada Southern very fertile and a. country of Wonderful promise. Its fruit growing capacity has already been uiuptly tested, inure pauticulurly the district between , the Welland Canal and the Niagara river and alone the Credit Valley. In West-- ern New Yolk along the Niagara. rivur and some distance east is a magnificent fruit country shipping enormous quanâ€" tities of fruit. to the iiiziiliets provided by the great cities of the northern states. The land on the Cmiudiaii side of the Niagara river is equally good and quite as well, if not better, adapted for this promising industry and yet you see 11 comparatively new and uncultured Cuuu- Lry.

I tried every old woman’s cure that was prescribed for me, and also took a six weeks’ treatment at the Preston Mineral Baths, and came home just as bad as I left. I also consider that I did not treat the medicine as it should have beer. treated, for l was mmpelled to be out in all kinds of weather. But not- withstanding, after 30 days the pain in my hips and back entirely left me, and has not returned. I have recommended Mr. Dean’s remedy to some of my brother officers, and it has cured them as well as several of my friends I will only be glad to correspond with any one who has suffered as I did, and give them any in» forumtiou I can regarding Mr. Dean’s Rheumatic and Sciatica Cure.

Warden Russell was ii; the chair and there was a lull iiltendaliCtB. Ex City Solicitor W. G. McWilliams and E. A. Mncdnuald were heard in the interests of the Toronto Aqueduct scheme, and asked the Council to petition the Legislature for exemption from taxes, for right of nay and to recommend the granting ofa charter. A vote was taken lll committee of the whole, and only one or two Vot.;d in favor of the scheme. The matter th referred to the Legislation Committee for further consideration. A number of iiotins of motion Were given and the Council adjourned. After a discussion which absorbed al most zill the next morning‘s session it was reenlved by a vote of seventeen t0 thirteen to support the petition of the Toronto Aqueduct to the Legislature to secure its charter and tax exemptions. A good deal of discussion ensued, much attention being bestowed upon the tax exemption clause. At the ulternuou session Reeve Cane of Newmarket moved that a committee be appointed to take into consideration the cost of criminal prosecutions. He thought them altogether too high. After :i lengthy discussion the motion was lost. A notice of motion by Reeve Macdon- aid of Georgina. was given. It provided tllntille Coilucrl petition the Ontario Legislature to onset a. low making it illegal for buyers of farm produce to ask or exrictuiore than just, Weight. when buying such pi‘ntluce. Iu supporting The County constables then aired a grievance, Messrs. Rupert and McIlwain addressing the Council in Committee 05 the Whole, with Reeve W. W. Pegg in the chair. The substance of their com- plaint was that the recent Dominion code had cut their fees down, often more than one-half, and so greatly reduced their never Very extensive incomes. Further- more, a wish was expressed that a room in the buildings be granted them in which to hold their meetings. After some discussion the matter was referred to the By-law and Legislation Commitâ€" tee. Agood deal of sympathy was ex- pressed for the coustables’ grievances. The Council then adjourned. The first business transacted by tho. council on Thursday morning was the fe~ ceiviug of a. highly satisfactory report from the North York Teachers’ Institute. Warden Russell announced that the Ontario Government Will supply blank forms for the taking, of the plebiscite through the country. Complaint was made that the Metropolitan Street Rail- way has placed its trolley poles so as to obstruct the water courses at the side of Yonge street, an order for their removal not having been attended to. The Coun- ty Engineer and the Council will make an inspemiou. The Mimico Railway also came in for censure, it being complained that the defective bcillasting of its tracks has made the Lake Shore Road, between Sunuyside and Howard’s gate. danger- ous. As Toronto has recently taken over the mad, the question arose whether the County or the Cir-y should be held li- able to deal with the Company, Mr. Macduugull, the County Engineer, will make a further report, Mr. Edmund Wrague wrote to inform the Council that the Grand Trunk Rail- way will not dismiss Constable Hodge, who made himself an unpopular by ar- resting trespassers on G. T. R. property by wholesale. Mr. \Vl‘agge stated that it was to the interest of the public that the walking on the tracks should be put down, and so Constable Hodge will be retained. The question of toll gates was taken up, Deputy Reeve Petermau bringing in a resolution providing “that all toll gate; in York County be abolished, providing the city of Toronto will agree to abolish all market fees. except fees on cattle.” The “relics of barbarian)” were warm}; discussed, but after an hour of debate: the l'eSulutli‘ll was killed. In the afternoon three reports Were re- ceived, that of the Commissioner of the Newmuiket Industrial School, of the York roads commissioner, and of the Committee on Education. In the evening the members of the Council took their aruual supper at the Clyde howl, and had an enjoyable time. The council eat only during the fore- noon of Friday. In the afsernuou they went for an excursuui over the Scarboro’ Electric railway The programme inâ€" cluded a supper, with the usual speeches annexed. at Stephensuu’s hall at East 'I‘urOiito. On Saturday morning the council held its final session. The first business done Was the sanctioning of n solicitor’s bil for $10 for Services in connection with the appealed case of Merry v. Driscoll. The case was ii toll gate one, thi- plain- tiffs havmg claimed exemption as they: this Mr. Macdonald stated that the grmii l “e a going to church and on that. pit-m buyers deduct 5 pounds from every draught that is weighed, paying the farm- wiuuiug their case.

The question as to the Council’s liabil- ity was discussed for an hour. A moir’on was finally nude to grant $1,000, but (his was defeated and $850 glVUll. In the afternoon a loner was read pniutiug out ihat the approaches to the bridge over the Humber, on the York iiud Vaughan turnpike. are in :1 bad state of repair.
