Under the heading of “ A Case of ‘Interest,’ " the Post last week threw a gleam of light on the dark doings of the Lindsay brokers, some of whom are rapidly acquiring wealth by a system of extortion so diabolical as to be almost incredible. We have always doubted the justice and the utility of usury laws, and fail to see what difference in point of morality there is between charging a man 20 per cent. for a yellr’s loan of $100 with which to buy, say, a horse. and buying the animal for the 8100 and selling it to him for $120 on a year's credit; but humanity must revolt at the rates of interest. exacted by the Lindsay blood suckers after their vie. rims are fairly in their clutches. The [’03: girls an instance where a broker (‘- breaker ” the word ought. to be) lent. an Ops farmer 370, charged him $50 for the first renewal, 8150 for the next, and finally by the aid of an un- scrupulous attorney frightened him into giving up his farm, which was worth $2,200 over all inuumbranees. The transaction was commenced and conâ€" cludcd within a year, and the shark now asks $3,500 for the farm which only cost. him $70 and whatever he paid the “ unscrupulous attorney." There is just one way to treat these wretches, if the law will not touch them, and that is for all respectable people to ignore their existence as far as pessible, refusing to associate with them, to visit; them, or to be visited by them. They must. have same feeling and sense of shatnc. and as their eagerness to make money is no doubt greatly to be attrib uted to their yearning for an exalted so-‘ cial position, it might be some restraint upon their rapncity if they found that they were looked upon as moral lepers, and that no honest man, no matter how humble his position, would exchange one word with them more than be was compelled to. We have, however, but small hopes that this course will be fol- lowed, for the majority of people have such a reverence for wealth that. they will toady to its possessor, no matter how deeply dyed a. scouudrel he. may be. We have long known that the Lindsay brokers were a pretty hard set; but. we had no idea that they were half as had as the revelations oflast week prove them to he. Agricultural Shows. Several of our exchanges are exclaim- ing against the number and variety of agricultural shows, and arguing in favour of the abolition ofsnme ofthem by the withdrawal of the Government grant. The ll'urdcr last. week had an article on the subject in which it. urged the advisability of doing away with the different. township shows in this county and having one great big show. to be hold at Lindsay. ofcourse. We feel that there are rather too many agricul- tural exhibitons, especially when we have to publish the long prize lists, which are tedious setting. for nothing; but it is not at. all likely that the li’nm'rr': advice will be followed. The first obstacle would be the difficulty of conveying animals and articles to be exhibited to Lindsay fmm remote parts of the roomy and the, second would be the expense of remaining over night, which would keep away the poorer farm- ers, who have just as good a right to a show as the richer once, and who want one where they can go to it and return from it in a day, and where they will not have to compete with the stack owned and the produce raised by the wealthier agriculturists of the front‘ townships. Possiny two or more neigh bouring societies might unite with ad- vantage. but even that. would involve in many cues longer journeys than could be conveniently made in a day. At any rate the question of the number and localities of agricultural shows is one in which farmers are chiefly in- terested, and in which we do not. think it Home: other: to interfere units they can show that they on in some way aficctcd by it.

Glancing over the proceedings of the Agricultural commission held at Al- monte last week we noticed the following, which is another proof that to grow fall when successfully it is uecemary to plant it on ground that is sheltered on at least two sides by a belt of trees, though hundreds of farmers persist, year after year, in the attempt to raise it on exposed land, where it is wholly or partially winter killed nine times out of ten.â€" “ Mr. Andrew Cochrane, of the town- ship of Ramsay. the next witness, stawd that he farms 200 acres of cultivated land, and he gives his attention chiefly to grain growing, embracing all kinds of grain but rye and buckwheat. Since 1837 be has grown full wheat every year but one, and has attained good success with the White Flint. or Hutchinson variety. lVbile the woods to the nurth and west were standing bis crops of fall wheat were uniformly successful, and the yield has varied from 10 to 66 bushels per acre. He had left the bush to the north and west the whole length of the lot an acre in width. but a strip four acres long was burned away, and it: has rendered a hundred acres much less productive. " Viarhlam FallflShow. The fall Show of the Verulam Agri- cultural Society was held in Bobcaygeâ€" on on the 8th inst., and the weather be- ing fine there was a large attendance, but the number of entries was scarcely up to the average.

A Loss.â€"-â€"On Wednesday last: a horse owned by Mr. Edward Landsfield, of Vet-ulna), was taken ill with inflamma- tion of the bowels while working on a threshing machine at Mr. Vareoe's, about. two miles from the Falls, and Mr. Landsfield brought the animal into the village to see if anything could be done to relieve it. Mr. James Junkin, who was here, bled the horse; but: that and all other remedies were without effect, and the poor brute died after intense suffering. WINTRY.â€"Suuday last. had quite a intry appearance, and at times there as snow in the air, though barely ,‘euough to be noticed. Since then hail and sleet have fallen, and the weather has been so cold that fires have been necessary for beating as well as for cock- ing purposes. We hear that; there was a heavy snow storm at: Haliburtou a few days ago, and there have been, on two or three occasions, strong Indications of one here, though so far wé have escaped the threatened infliction. The rains at. the close of last month had but little 8"- fect upon the nearly exhausted springs and wells, and il'winter should set, in before more rain falls the want of water will be severely felt. But, to-day (Thursday) is fine and mild, and it is to be hoped that- we may have pleas- ant weatherfor a while yet. “' An Energetic Woman. Mrs. M. Ingram, of Neversink, N. Y., was recently married for the second time. Four years ago her first husband died, leaving her with two children and a farm of 100 acres, mortgaged for 8400. After giving her husband a respectable burial, Mrs Ingram found herself in debt. nearly_$500. She had no money, and determined not. to borrow any. She went to work with an industry and determination almost without parallel. She felt herself too much in debt to hire help. so she took the placo of her hus- band on the farm. Last year she mow‘ ed and pitched on and off the waggou 35 tons of hay. This year she mowed and handled 50 tons of hay aud kept 12 cows. 01) her second bridal day she was out of debt and with consid- erable money ahead. Mrs Thompson. which is now her name, is about. 33 years old. W Ingenious smuggling. In unloading a truckdoud of logs at the Goods Station of the Northern of France Railway, at La Chapelle. a f'etv weeks ago, one of the men noticed a longitudinal slit in One of the logs. lIe cxmnined the opening more closely, and inserted his knife in it. There was no resistance,» but a strong smell of tobacco became perceptible. On the unthori~ tics overhauling, or rather dissecting, the whole consignment, it was found that thirty-two out of the thirty-eight. logs it; consisted of had been hollowed out and stuffed with about thirtyssix hundred weight ofcheap Belgian tobacco. The Excise seized the contraband, the consingee of which would, no doubt, have succeeded in obtaining prssessiou but for a slip of the pen of an invoice clerk. Instead ofaddressing the advise note Rue Cateaudun, he wrote Chateau (1‘ Plan ; hence a delay and the access- ity on the part. of the Northern Com- pany to unload the Belgian truck to avoid demurrage. ._._.§.....__.___ A Severe Storm. GREAT FALL OF SNOW IS MINNESOTAâ€" A LONG LIST OI" DISASTERS. MILWAUKEE, Oct. 16.â€"-â€"Thc wind storm here yesterday and last night was the, severest. ever known in this section. The barometer was ncver known solow. The wind was from the south, blowing between sixty and seventy miles an hour. A large fleet of vessels sought this bar- bour for safety, and rode out the gate in the bay. The storm all along the Southern Minnesota Railway was the severest known for years. Passenger and freight trains along the line are blockaded in the snow, which is drifted from ten to twelve feet deep, and teams with provisions have been despatched to their relief from several points. The train which left Lacrosse on Friday has not. been heard from since leaving Fulda that. night. All the cuts west. of Fair- mount are filled with snow, packed hard. Reports of cattle, horses, ate, having perished are constantly received. but there has been no’loss of human life yet reported. It is the worst storm ever known in Southern Minnesota and Hasâ€" tern Dakota. and is still raglan. No- thing has been heard from the steamer Daprr, which left Grand Haven on F i- day night for this port, and nll_strt.s of opinions are expressed concerning her safety. Many vessels caught outside were damaged in canvas and rigging and lost their deck loads. Reciprocity is waterlogged and drifted on the beach at. Two Rivers. The barge.

LONDON, Oét. 15.â€"-Wbile Haulau was out practicing ymterday mgruing herau into an obstacle a't Chiswick and smashed his new Swaddle 8; Win- sbip boat. He was thrown into the water and was only reamed with some difiiculty by two or three watet-meu in the vicinity who, while watching the graceful ease with which your represen- fative propels his shell. saw the mishap. They took the half drowned oarsman ashore, and having administered a little of smoothing to take the chill oif rubbed him down well, and al'tef a rest rowed him across the river to the neighborhood ol his hotel. Haulau Says he didn't come across the Atlantic to be drowned. He could accomplish that performance at home and without-so much trouble. Next. time he says he will know enough to take his bearings and steer straight. He was very cheerful when he arrived at his hotel and laughed at George Haw- thorne when he suggested the ducking might aggravate bis cold. He hadn't been in his hotel half an hour before he told George that they would have to telegraph to Scotswoods for a new shell. It is not. anticipated that he will suffer any inconvenience from big unsensou- able bath. His rival, 'Trickctt, was much better to-day and put. in ti hard day’s work, being out twice on the river, besides taking considerable laud exercise. The Australian giant has now entirely quit. his foxing, and seems to make the best. of the month yet remaining at. his disposal. He does not, however, gain in favor and is just. as little thought of as ever he was. Good judges continue to regard it as a moral impossibility that Hunlan can be beaten, barring acci- dents. Hostaer is Entirely himself again. His practice is watched with almost as much interest as that. of the Canadian. The promised influx of American and Canadian oarsmen, with the proceedings of the colouials now here, form the sole tclpics of conver- sation at. all the river side haunts. Grand Juries: In Nova Scotia are receiving some pretty severe blows from the press. The‘ Halifax Grand Jury is charged with trying the cases before it, and throwing out an extraordinary number of bills, some of them involving Crimes of the gravest character, which should, beyond a doubt, have come before the Court. The Tr'uro Giraud Jur is acouscd of being "operated upon,’ and throwing out one of the clearest cases of perjury ever presented to a jury. The ’l‘ruro Guardian, in referring to the latter case, saysâ€"“ What is to be the end of these things is a serious question for the moral and law-abiding people of this country. The Grand Jury institution: requires to be reformed if not abolished , but. more than that, the consciences of a good many people require to be quickcucd with regard to the sacreduess ofthc oath they take as jurynien and witnesses. It. is a pity that the jurymcu who were “ operated upon," and those who perfor- med the operation, could not. be discov- ered and severely punished." w The British Goat Society. The British Goat Society has made arrangements for a series of dinners at Alexandra Palace, with the object. of making known the good qualities ol’kid's flesh. At the first. dinner -‘ Billy goat- awney" took the place of tuullagatawncy soup, and was held by the guests to be: equal to itsgreat‘. original. Curried kid chops, cutlets, boiled legs, kid pies with truffles and mushrooms, roast fore- quarter with mint. Sauce, and kid's head a la maz'tre'd'hotcl succeeded, and were highly approved. Many of the dishes were treated as though the subject had been lamb's flesh, and they b‘re out the French assertion that kid may be sub- stituted for lamb without. the know- ledge of the enter. A .kid steak and oyster pudding is said to have been a trifle strong. On the whole the dinner was a great success, and probably con- ducive to goal: breeding. After they are eight. months old the animals do not furnish pleasant food for civilized people. The female goat gives excellent milk, and can be maintained at it very small expense. The evil odour ofthe grown male has given an unsuvoury reputation to the goat. family, which its other mem- bers do not deserve. It is to be hoped that the British Goat Society may suc~ cecd in the effort. to greatly increase the number of animals which furnish good milk and an admirable addition to the meat. supply. l’e0ple in Canada. especially in the cities, who cannotafi'ord to keep cows find the goat a very useful animal.

There were on view the other day in the window of Mr. Alfred Stevenson. two monster cucumbers which are real curiosities. each of them measuring three feet six inches in length, and their unit- ed Welght being over siXtccn pounds.

At the interim Sessions on Tuesday she. was brought. before His Honor Judge Buru- ham and pleaded not guilty. She stat- ed that she was in a state of dcstltutiou. and adluiltstl that her children, who she said were starving, might; have taken the bread, which was found in her house, and indentified as the pro- perty of Mr. Bell. There being a doubt as to the prisoner's own guilt, she. was discharged. We are pleased to learn, since writing the above, that the Mayor has promptly attend-d to the immediate necessities of thc destitute widow and family: But more than this requires to be doneâ€"Chronicle; blinders.

'I‘nn FALL Snowâ€"The Minden agricultural.shmv u as held on the Soci- ety's ground on the day appointed, and the weather being fine Country people began pouring in at an early hour. The entries numbered about 420, and the exhibits in every department were far ahead of any former year. both as t‘r- uards quality and quantity. The display of ladies' work was very extensive, and many new and pretty designs in the various do; artmeot were observable,- and there was a large display of fancy quilts, blankets, flannel, rugs, carpet Jed. Mr. Jones Walker showed in a glass case a piece of needle-\vork'aud a pin: cushion 115 years old and several other curiosities, all of which were much admiral. Mr. Linger. teacher, exhibi- ted a large collection of stuffed birds which attracted a good deal of notice and as they were all stufl'cd by himself he is evidently no beginner at that. kind of work. The display of butter, both in rolls and tubs, was large, and in bread there were a dOZen competitors. In fruit, apples were conspicuous, but. there were some very good grapes grown in the open air, and thejars of preserves and pickles were quite numerous. The display of field and garden produce was extra fine in all re<p<1cts and very crcd- itable to the exhibitors. In all the different. classes of stock. there was a marked improvement over previous tunes, and the show was declared by those who attended it. to be by far the best ever held in Minden. The Society is umch indebted to the Directors for their ablu management. as notwithstanding the strong efforts made to have the Govern- ment. grant. annulled, the money was procured and did good service. . - .u‘_. -â€" Goodorhqna.
