farmers of England are following the ex- ones will have the first and best claim on it. Hitherto in these lands one sowed and another reap- ed, the toiler wrought and the lord of the soil gathered the fruits, but the tables are being turned and the laborer will first have to get his re- ward ere anyone else comes in. 1 Sept. 13--At a recent mesting of the Farmers' Alliance it was resolved that a Land bill for England and Scotland should be prepared, and introduced at the next ses- sion of Parliament. The tenant farmers in d are agitating for reforms resp * the tenure under which they hold, and the agitation threatens to become a serious factor in the political arena in that kingdom. -- The Great Show. Toronto's Big Show still goes on, the weather is all that could be desired, Torooto is reaping a rich barvest and visitors are getting the worth of their money, In other |i Jeers the MeFg iy days of the Show er slow and lacked intorest but this tims thanks fo the boat races, it was a success from the very first, and the $5,000 expended in prizos on the boat races would easily wet the citizens $50,000. The raciog| gave only partial satisfaction especi-| i; ally to the beaten, ones not a great deal of money changed hands in way of bets. That Ross should come off champion in the single sculls, was only what was expected by nine out of every ten. That Tricket shovld be rowed down before the final heat was a surprise to all, and that Conley should take second money was no less a surprise. The present season is perhaps too far 7 for much more rowing bat anothor season will doubtless see Jot of matches. Hanlan will be distle more heard of in the rowing world. His Career was short and brilliant but such a shine is easily wdlipsed. * The exhibition on the grounds is «decidedly grand,greatly to the credit of the exhibitors and going far to establish the reputation of Canada but especially of this fair and pros- perous province, while the idea and the manner in which it is carried out are proofs of the enterprise and the intelligence of the capital of the province. The bundreds of thous- anda who'shall bave witness thio ex- . bibition will be living witnusses of our country's progress and prosperi- » Toronto's enterprise in this will be richly rewarded. ---- Serious Accident. We regret to state that Mr, Chas Brown, an active, intelligent. and promising young man of nineteen years, eldest son of Mr. Perry Brown, Port Perry, met with a very 'serious accident on Monday last.-- young man 'was employed in , Trounce's' saw mill here and attending the gang saw got log canght botween the car- 8 projecting stick, he was its below the Ha, joint. of 'Russia, the J silly common place twaddle, and wanted the world to listen, Flattering sycophants mouths being .hired to cheer they emselves hoarse. This palaver is rung all over Europe and styled a meeting of the Emperors. Human worshipers are trying to discover some significance in the farce. It took the parties all their time to conceal and lie over the time and place of the palaver lest some unwelcome intruder might disturb their mightinesses and break up their gathering. The despot's rod is an intolerable burden no less to the ruler than 'the ralled, but the march of intelligent freedom will break the tyrant's rod however strong and dragit from the nervless grasp of the oppressor. None but tyrants require to hold clandestine meétings. The loving subjects of froe and generous rulers are a bul. wark of strength and protection to them. ------ Alarm of Fire. - About 6:30 on the evening of the | 14th ingt, the nowelcome sound of the fire alarm was heard through- out the town and a general rush was made for Trounce's saw mill, the location of the firs. The protection against fire from the barrels of water constantly kept on the top of the buildings and tho crowd of active, willing bands the '&re waa extinguished ere much damage was 008 bad the fire been would have been great. eep-- The Great Exhibition. * Toronto's Grand Exhibition pleasant to see but not particularly profitable.

The party sat down about nins o'clock, an intelligent company of the right sort 10 secure an inter. esting and enjoyable time. The tables were got up In fine taste, creditable to the Lactive host and hostess and establishing the reputation of the Mansion House for'success comfort. Prompt and careful attendance is an important consideration in such enter. tainmentsand the active intelligent waiters filled the bill to perfection. Afcer doing ample justice to the good thinks so abundantly provided the cloths were drawn and the chairman introduced the intellectual part of the entertainment Ina few neat and appropriate remarks, and fol- lowed them up by proposing in right loyal terms "The Health of the Queen". It is needless to say that in a company composed chiefly of the sons of Merry Eng- Iand that the toast received a most hearty acknowledgement. All the other loyal toasts were given in order, The following telegram was received : "Tononto, Sept, 9th, 1881.

The Board of Directors of the Township of Cartwright Agricultural Society met at the Town Hall, Williamsburg, omthe above date. There were present the President, Vice P I and 8 y, and Marlow, Goggin, Holt, Jeffery and Devitt.-- The Prize List of 1880 was now taken up, ly ravised and additions made there. on Brock and that the paoy had not only fulfilled all there engagements to the hip but had done very much more that of the Oi ti of these sections and refuad the surplus to the out- side portions of these sections. = He (Mr. Cunningham) suggested that as the outside portions of these sections would be detached s0800n as the by-law for that pirpose comes into force in December next, might it not be better to consider these portions as al- ready detached and let the township levy for the outside portions, this would be better for the portions of the sections concerned as this would avoid raising more money than is required and it would answer the two municipalities quite ag well. The Council appeared to agree to this mode of settling the matter if it could be done legally, He had at once written the Minister of Education laying the matter be- fore him and requesting a reply. A premnt Lreply was recrived from the Kducation De- - | partment agreeing with the suggestion of considering the Union already dissolved and that Brock pass a by-law to levy for the than was ever promised and the change now going on and connections being made will greatly add to the advantage of Brock After id Mr. G asked what was the best Brock would do in the matter ; We then asked him what the Co'y was prepared to do! He replied in the first place the company considered the claim as outrageous, and never would think of pay- ing it and as for the costs there should have been none because there was never any oc- casion for a law suit over the gravel claim (RPT) : dark 80 that each party should pay there own costs. The Company he thought would be | willing to pay & fair price for the gravel say $100 and interest up till cow. He said the people of Brock must know that were it possible to make the p: y pay the whole support of the portions of said with- indift ifested the Volun- teer force by the general public, and the scrimp justice done them by Government, and the difficulties they had to encounter in the rural sections. He wound up a capital speech by showing the value of an efficient well organized Volunteer Militia force. « Sister Societies" was now proposed from the chair coupled with the names of Messra Phillippo, Broad, Brown, Cook and Isaacs, ali of whom made appropriate replies, -- Messrs. Broad and Coo't chosé to reply in song and gave fine ones, "The Learned Professions" was the next toast. The legal profession was haudsomely sustained. Mr. Hill, alaw student in Mr. Ebbele's office, was tho first to reply. He was followed by Mr. Campbell, junior part- ner of the law firm of Billings § Cambell. -- N. F.

The next toast was a rouser.' *'Our Order --Sons of England," This brought the Grand President of the Order, J. H. Venobles Esq., to his feet, he was received with hearty applause. His reply was both in» teresting and instructive and was well received. Past G. President, P. Milington, Eaq., was the next to take the floor and did fall justice to his subject placing the claims and ad- vantages of the Order conspicuously before the company. Mr, W. Hunt followed with a fine song. The Grand Secretary of the Order, J. W. Carter, Esq, was now called and had a warm reception. He went fully into the objects and design of the Order, and that worthy and important Order received full justice at his band, "The Mercantile Interests" brought sev- eral of our merchants to the floor.

The host replied briefly and in good taste. Thanks to the chair, followed by God Save the Queen brought to a close an enjoy- able and much enjoyed evening, Much of the pleasure of the evening may be sttributed to the efficient manner in soufusted the proceedings, which the worthy chairman, Mr, G. 8, Miller | in the icipality provided the corpora- tion of Cannington would pass a by-law confirming the action of the Brock Council, Mr. Amey, said that he considered that this would dispose of the difficulty for the C ing council bad signified their will- ingnessto accept the suggestion made by Mr, Cunningham if it could be done legally and now that it can be so done they willjoffer no objection. Mr. 8t. John did not approve of the action of the Council at its'past session in handing over, for the present, to the corporation of Cannington the full control to levy taxes for the présent year on those portions of school sections No. 8 and 15 within the municipal ity of Brock, he considered that the letter of the Minister favors the idea that Brock should have held on to her own portion, however he is pleased that the matter has been got along with without having recourse to law, The Reeve said that he had not been aware before he met that council that they had passed a resolution a year ago agreeing te hand over to the corporation of the town. #hip of Brock the control of the portions of the sections referred to. A communication was read from the De. partment of Fisheries acknowledeing the re- ceipt of the communis tion from Brock council regarding the preparation and stock- ing of the principal streams in the township with fish, and prowising prompt attention to the matter.

Herea long, lively and very important discussion followed, each member of council taking partin it, but for the good of the township and all concerned it were better to hold it over to another time, especially as no offer was agreed on and the matter dropped.

Deceased was an Englishman by birth his hie parents came to Canada from England gome 52 years ago and after a sojurn of seven years came to Reach and settled there. Deceased was then in his fifth year; his father purchased one hundred acres in the. soutb- eastern part of the 'towaship now known as Coates' settlement. At this time the con- cessions were not even opened in {hat quarter of the township and the new settlers had to cut their way into the land they lad purchased, they had to seek their way in and ont as they could find it. But the hands of industry soon told its well known tale and the solitary place soon began to bloom and blossom as the tose and the pencleus of a future happy and prosperous settlement was now permanently laid, and Coates' settle portance in the municipality, The father died in 1860 leaving a widow and seven children all of whom, with the exception of Thomns, now dead, are still alive, The family had followed the good example of their parents in industry, patient perseverance and integrity, the good effects of this were being made visible all around and the family which forty five years ngo had to cut their way through a roadless section into their then uncleared heritage of 100 acers now own amongst them 830 acres in different parts of the township all comfort- able, valuable faems in a fine star® of cultiva- tion with every improvement necessary to comfort. Deceased at the time of hiy death was farming 300 acres, 200 of which he owned and 100 he vented He was of a strong bust, constitution, well able and no less willing to toil an'l was emphatically one of nature's noblemen, a son of honest, indepen- dent toil, As a practical farmer he had few snperiors, In bis younger days and when agricultnral societies regarded the art of plowing worth encouragement, deceased was always found an active supperter and snc- cessful competitor in these matches, He had from his youth taken a leading interest in every department of agriculture, had long h 1d a conspicuous plave in stock raising, had for many years been a director in ore or more Agricultnral Societies and was much respected by all who knew him, for his manly, honornblé, fearless course of action. He put on no style, assumed no airs, was canded and npright, called things by their right names and despised sham and pretence. He exercised » wide influence over the locality in which he was best known ; his open hearted generosity was widely feltand appreciated, He wasa lov. ing husband an indulgent father and a tre friend, The t hip at large but ly the section in which he resided, will miss ed. him. He leaves an amiable widow and six active intelligent children, three sons and three daughters, to mourn the loss of their protection and stay, cut off in his strength, while he had yet scarcely passed the merid- ian of life, Much sympathy is telt and ex pressed for the mourning ones in their loss. The funeral took place on Sunday, 1ith inst, and if anything further was wanted to prove the high estéem and respect in which deceased was held, the kindly sympathy for the di widow, b d children and mourning relatives it was supplied in the vast numbers who: turned out to the funeral from all parts of this and neighbor- ing townships ; thus paying a tribute of re- spect to the remains of the departed one and at the same time offering their sineere! sympathy 'with the mourning ones. It was without exception one of the largest funer. | als that has ever taken place in this pat of : the country, Rev. Mr. Lee conducted the funeral services. After the burial, as wanny of those protons us could get into the church, waited to hear the funeral sermon reached by the Rev. Mr h Albert,' | of the 420d Hymn, Rh Thee we adore Eterna} Name, 3 nT ow What dy! A After 'prayer And am 1 bom to die? 0 lay And Seibel bein a and we shall accomplish our own ruin. Both buildings will ;be ex posed to the storm, our works willall be tried, but only those founded on a rock will stand. We may makea show and have what pretence we please, have a fair appear ance, but all is valueless if not founded on the rock, Christ. : 'While we have been speaking of the points in which the builders agree we come to speak of some of the featares in which they differ. The onefis desirous bis build- ing should stand and. is carcful of securing a proper foundation, while the other heed- less of the future goes on to build . without the slightest regard to his foundation. The wise man represents that class who take Christ for their foundation, the - foolish man represents those who build on the world as their foundation. They may goon build- ing aod the world may notice little or no difference, but there is a vast difference, an awfal difference between the 'results the ex tent of which will be carried into an endless eternity. The final storm at life's close will sweep away every vestige of the sand built edifice ; while the other stands the storm. Come when it may that storm is eure to arise which shall try the actions of men and woe-be-to him who has chosen any other foundation than Cbrist,- the Rock of Ages. We are all Luilders and are building either for weal or for woe, the former taking Christ for their foundation, the latter chosing the world ; no one can sav he is neutral, we all must build, we cannot help building for eternity, We are told that they are both exposed to the same storms; the same gospel is offered to both, to one it proves the savor of life unto life ; to the other of death unto death. It is endircly their own fant to whom it proves the savor of death, it is treely offered to all, and all may receive it if they will, and all are besceched by the merecies of God to receive Christ and live Christ gave his life for all and presses all to accept of the gift ; why should one be lost for whom Christ died ; for Christ died for those that are lost as well ag the raved ones. If he died for one he died for all, and if there were one for whom he had not died the Ni was not let If any one is lost the Llame rests entirely with himself. The speaker went on to enforce the necessity for prepration, the new birth, the chisnge of heart in order to enter upon the enjoyment of henven, unregenerate nature could find no pleasure their, Here the speaker warm- 1y pressed tho importance, the absolute necessity for closing in at once with thé offers of mercy, now is the accepted time, now is the day of ealvation, The speaker closed by remarking that three wonders would be experienced by those who should have the happiness to enter heaven.
