far in the right direction, as it certainly must, to "raise tho butter trade to a much higher position than it now occu. pies. Of course the action of the merchants is highly commendable and in the best intejests of all,con- bayer. But their best efforts cannot ~ eerned, maker, consumer, seller and 'accomplish all that is required, it * will require the united efforts of all 0.80cure the full advantage of the schome ; but the hearty co operation of the farmers, the butter makers, _is-a sine quo non to completo success. In many directions whon changes aro introduced retrocessionists will demur, they don't like innovations, they prafor to let well-enough.alone, but ne owe knowing anything of our eounsel for it cannot be denied that there is urgent necessity for im- mediate; united and persistent effort to raise our butter tradd from the humiliating and profitless position 3t now occupies. A Tho fuct is that hitherto we have had no butter trade we have had a haphazard . mode of buying and sell ing onsatisfactory, unprofitablo, and unfair. When men buy grain they examine it earefully as well as to color, weight and quality and these' are the criteria ofthe price. The farmers don' make the wheat and therefore are not offended when told that it ie not good, and if they get the price for second or third quality they don't grumble because they know that it is not worth more.-- It is different, bowever, with butter. Here comes Mrs. X into Mr. A's store she has a couple of tubs of butter with hor--her own mako-- she places them on the counter; the merchant looks at the butter and finds it bad enough to make a dog squeal. Bat Mrs, X is a good cus- tomer and she has many relations and acquaintancesand the merchant can scarcely afford to tell her that her butter is bad, so boreluctantly takes the stuff and gives her the mar- ket price for it though it is scarcely worth anything, But suppose that A dares to tell her that ber butter is bad ! the eyes begin to flash, the butter is snatched up and thrown indignantly into the wagon 'and away she drives to Mr. B's store, 'and plusing it down on the counter declares that Mr. A will never got another pound of ber butter. Mr. B guesses what is up, looks at the butter secs it to be rubbish and not wishing to lie over it orders it to be _ taken away to the celler wishing ~ that he bad a milion pounds of such. - The 'market price is paid but just then in comes Mrs. Y with a tub of - really choice butter; Mr. B looks at it, orders it to be taken to the cellar. Mrs X is still standing by and when sho finds that Mrs Y gets the same price for her butter as she does she takes fresh courage and goes on making her trash wbilo Mrs. Y find- ing that she gets no more for her first-class butter than Mis X gets for her cart becomes discouraged "and will not make first-class butter, when Mr, B comes tc ship his utter if be mixos such butter as Mrs furnishes with that which Mrs the 'whole is spoiled, is amongst tho lowest grades and ceordingly. 'And if ho pped them apart the very fact 'such batter as Mrs X es be- brings all the butter from into disrepute and low- ce of all.

When all was ready Mr. A Ross was called to. the chair. The Pastor of the congregation opened proceedings by prayer, Rev. Mr, Shaw made a few remarks and resumed his seat. 'The chairman then rising said that before proceeding further in way of addresses it was intended to deal with the financial condition of the church, and in fact such was the ptincipal purpose in calling the present company together, He had fn his hand a t of the fi ial dition of the church, but he did not suppose it was neoes- eary to take up the several items, he would simply state that the debt, church and par- sonage, amounted to upwards of $2,000, and the principal aim in holding the present gathering is to devise some way of paying off said debt, and in order to accomplish so desirable an object he would advise that the doors be locked and that no one be permit- ted to leave the church until the payment of the debt has been provided for, Parties began to look somewhat uneasy, but ag proceedings advanced it was found that there was no cause for alarm, for nothing further than a perfectly voluntary subscription was: at- tempted, it was loft entirely at the option of parties as to how much.they should give or whether they should give anything at ail, and no unreasonable pressure was employed A. Ross & Sons headed the contribution list with $300, Geo, Cfirrie, and J, H. Brown, Esqs., gave $200 each, others contributed runs varying from $100 down to $5, so that ina comparatively short time the sum of $1,450 had been contributed and nearly all this amount was contributed Ly parties belonging to the church, Rov, Mr, Pickering assisted the chairman inthe offertory. The financial department having been got through quite satisfactorily, Rev. Mr. Shorey was called on for an address, but the evening was now too far advanced to allow time for addresses, and the rev. gentleman confined himself to a fow cursory remarks, Rev. Mr, Shaw was now called, but he too confined himself to a fow common-place but not uninteresting statements, The very excellent choir furpished an abundance of really superior music and con- tributed much to the enjoyment of the vyening. The hearty and unanimous vote of thanks given to the ladies who had provided and got up the tea, and to the choir for their supply of fine music was a tribute to which they weve justly entitled, Thanks to the chairman followed by the benediction closed the proceedings. The attendance was very good and all appeared satisfied with the entertainment, aud certainly the church has no cause to ie dissatisfied with the result, were just silly enough to dance at-| tendance on the swells and chargo the county for it are little less guilty than the instigators ot the costly farce. Why should the tax payers of the County be called upon to hire men to come from the vari- ous municipalities throughout the County giving them cach from six~ teen dollars down to smaller amounts according to the distance the mem- bers had to travel, amounting in all (0 six or seven hundred dollars for no other purpose (than that the swells may have the County Council in their retinue, and that the people's representatives may stand by and admire the magnificent proportions of Wilham H. Higgins as he struts around at the fuil of reality. The fall show of the N O. E. D. Agricultural Society was held on the Agaicultaral Grounds, Uxbridgo, on Tuesday and Wednesday last. The weather proving highly favor- able, and this combined with the united and woll-directed efforts of all coneerned, resulted in one of the best and most satisfactory shows ever held in North Ontario. The rain came on tos, early in the even- ing of the second day to suit parties who had to travel to a distance, bat it did not militate against the suc- cess of the show. The village of Uxbridge appeared to much advantage; its population had been increased by many hun- dreds, but its accommoda.ing capa- city was equal to the task and all visitors were comfortably provided for, thus adding another to the many proofs already furnished that the village of Uxbridge is notexcelled by any other locality in the Pro- vince in the extent und degree of hospitality to her guests, her affable and intelligent troatment of strang- ers. This fine village is fast ap- proaching its maturity and ere long it will doubtless don the toga and take its place amongst the most energetic towns of Canada. The show ground was the centre of attraction, and certainly the ex- hibit as well in the hall as on the ground was worthy the enterprise and intelligence of one of the finest counties in the Province, The ball was literally packed with more goods than could be accommo- dated and the quality of the articles was all that could be desired, they were not placed to advantage, but this was more from \lack @t space than from lack of tate in the ar- rangement.

The new Presbyterian Chuch, dedicated on Sun- day lust, is a magnificeut building, credit- able alike to the liberality and good taste of all concerned and a ducided ornament to the village, and will doubtless prove of much moral, social and religious advantage to the entire surroundings, y The late fire had made an ugly gap in the very centre of the town, but the deformity is being removed as fast as possible. A fine new brick building is taking the place of the Northern Hotel and will bo a vast im. provement on its predecessor. The Queen's Hotel was the centro of at, traction; here the gathering throng were seeking the comforts of a temporary abode, having their rigs safely put away, horses taken care of, with every other accommoda- tion of a first-class hotel. Mine host Camp- bell and his efficient staff were fully equal to to the task, and the almost endless number of guests were attended to with a prompti- tude and satisfaction neserving of the thanks of all, and the numerous guests were not "slow in manifesting their appreciation of the attentions received. The show of implements outside the hall was fair, Mr. Coxworth, of Cannington, and Mr, Coone, of Manilla, were the competi- tors in wagons, Mr, Coxworth carried of first prize. Here as elsewhere the Honey fanning mill was the favorite, The Masson Works, of Oshawa, had their manu- factures----their seeders, rakes, well displayed by Mr. Vardon = Mr, Beaverton showed well in 'the plow line, cutting boxes and other implements and machines, Reynolds Brog. showed a varity of pumps ; amongst others they showed their donble acting force pump, a most desirable imple- mént and"ne that should be in all mercan. tile and business establishments, One of these on the premises of John Sharp, Esq.. did capital service at the late fire at Can. nington, Within the hall there was a fine display and well arranged, The roots and fruits were very good indeed, and the quantity quite extensive. The ladies did themselves credit by the exhibition of their intelligent and well directed effort as well in their fine funcy work as in the more serviceable pro- visions for comfort ; and fiom the quite ex- tensive display of blankets, ghilts, flannels, fulled cloths and other cosy wrappings, they don't appear to put much faitiin an overly mild winter, The display butter was highly creditable to the skill of the fai butter makers, Mr. D C, McLean, the principal carriage builder of the town, showed a varicty of most attractive carriages, fully sustaining the well merited reputation of that estab- lisment for the excellence and geod taste of its manufactures. Mr. Easterbrook, photographic artist, Can nington, had a choice display of superior pliotos ; the superiority of the pictures taken at hig establishment is not disputed by any one knoiving auything of his pictares. ~ Tn this connection we may mention the display of enlarged pho!os exhibited by H, McKen- zie of Port Perry, Mr. McKenzie is in possession-of a recently discovered process by which he can enlarge J hiotos to life size or larger if required.

Our Brock ladies too contributed much valuable material for the show, sustained their reputation for intelligent enterprise and secured lots of prizes ; but while we knew many of the prize takers there were many with whom we were not acquainted and we refrain from naming any least we do an injustice to some. We single out Reach, Port Perry, Brock, &c., simply to show that the fait.ones of the surronnding municipal- itieg turned in nobly tohelp their Uxbridge Indy friends to furnish a hall which would do credit to a Provincial show, ~The noble rivalry ofthe ladies of North Ontario is worthy of the highest commendation. But while the ladies sustained their part bravely the gents were not indiffereat to their duty in the matter and u large and valaale show of such horses, cattle, sheep and swine as any county or province might feel proud of was the result, The show of poultry was both extensive and superior in quality, we are much judebted to Mr, W, H, Browne, of Columbus for the succuss of our poultry shows, ' Our readers will please excuse'us for hold. ingrover the prize list till next week, Our space is all occupied and. we must go to The total 'receipts including gate money, booths, &c, &c., was $484, ' Too Goon TO "Miss.--Our adver. iderable outlay in addition to the large amount of time spent in practice in order that the band may maintain proper effici- ency, so that they ought to be treated generously and their services appreciated as they ought to be, The show of live stock was good as far as it went, but it was not as good as might be expected, neither was it' half as large as it ought to be, The day was splendid and all seemed to enjoy themselves, The Agricultural supper in the evening was but slimly attended but it was got up| in fine style and proved a very enjoyable tfme, The following is the prize list ; HORSES--pravenr. 2 year old Colt--Ilst J Risden, 2nd Wm Francis. 1 year old Colt or Filly--1st Wm Francis GEN.

He has no desire fo put costs.on the corporation bv go- ing to law to recover damages but the matter must be attended to at once, He has found that a large portion of the public improve~ ments has been unfairly laid out, some three years ago when a sidewalk was being Jaid on a portion of Cochrane street a minister nam- ed Chesney lived on one side of that portion and four families on the opposite side but the august street committee preferred accom modating the one man and laid the sidewalk on his side of the street. On motion of Mt Crandell the street im- provement committee were instructed to ex amine Balsam street with a view to provid- ing a side walk and report to the council at its next session, Mr Major presented a petition from D, Adams and 13 others praying for the re- moval of the old shakey hemlock side walk off Cochrane street and replacing it with a suitable pine lumber placed crossways and not lengthwise as the present walk is, On motion of Mr Bruce an order was granted in favor of Mr, R. McKinley for $70 the same being in full of his salary as Col- lector for the past year, Mr Bruce presented the petition of Wm, Tate and 135 others praying that no night watchman or constable to act aa such be appointed by thecouncil, The Reeve said that at last meeting of council a committee had been appointed to prepare a proper by-law under this head and as Mr Crandell is a member of that com. mittee he ought now to report, Mr Crandell said that in considering the matter he had come to the conclusion that the council had no authority for appointing any such officer and not wishing to get him self or the council into trouble he had taken no action but if the council wishes a report he will soon get up one, Mr Bruce saidas the matter is of some importance and much interest taken in it by the ratepayers and as the members of council are not all present he would move that further action on this matter be deferred till Thrsday next when it is expected that we may have a full council.--Carried.
