Cameron, to furnish him withjback numbers of the Observer. Last week we struck off between 40 and 50 more than usual, and now not one is left. INDIGNAN T. Our friend of the Adrot ploniod to be rather crestfallen, because he did not get the first prizes on printing at the County Fair. Well, it is a great pity ; but it is not our fault. Our devil isto blame for it all. As he likes a httle "change" once in a while, and thenght thie & Z0Ud ehance 10 make $4.00, he got the men in the office, without our leave or libeity, to assist him in finishing up a little job, on Monday even- ing, after working hours, and which took the first prize. We understand the Advo- cate man has entered his solemn protest against it. Woo can blame him, after epend- ng three or four weeks to get up something "nice" for the Fair; and then to be ¢grubbed 7"? It is really too bad! The Society, to make amends, should present him with a «leather medal." Wonder if our devil would invest some of his prize money in such a commendable enterprise ? ee een COUNTY, COUNCIL, It will be seen by the vofes and proceedings of the County Council that Higgins' & Co.'s account rather staggered some of the members. Our reporter seems to deal rather lightly with the matter; but as we happened to get a peep behind the screen, we will try and give the ratepayers of this County' a little information. Ne doubt, most of them are aware that theWarden called a special meeting, on Saturday last, for the purpose of taking steps for the reception of the Governor General ; and for which he deserves credit. But this important event was not to pass without Higgins & Co., getting a share of the County fonds. As four months had passed sittee they had a haul, they were, of ¢otrse, beginning to. get 'hungry for another grab; consequently, a nice little bill of $420.00 was manufactured and presented on Monday lust--a dainty sum for 'publishing a small pamphlet : the minutes of the Council. Mr. J. H. Perry trieg hard to make the fiémbers of the County Council believe it was a ¢ two-penny-ha'. penny" printing bill ; and wearesorry fo say many of them looked upon it as such. It is really disgraceful that the ratepayers of this county should be chiseled out of their hard earnings by such an nnprincipled establishment as the Whitby Chronicle ; and it is, also, a burning shame that their represen- tatives in the County Council sanction How isit they are so very exact with Sheriff Reynolds. If he owes a few dollars, or does not pay over money coming : into his hands, even before, it is due, there is.a great noise aboutit. We ¢au assure the County | Council if they attended to their busi. ness half as well as Sheriff Reynolds, it would be much better for the County. Ask them to use their influ. ente with the Government to break up the monopoly of the 'Whitby Road and ~ |try at large. } partment, "Spring Coli for Draught--5 entries. 1st Jr; 20d J Weir. | 1st Ira Chapman ; 2nd Jos Lee. | 1st Geo Masson ; ; 2nd Chris Stork; 3rd J Thom : Bull Calf of 1862, age 10 be considered-- 4 entries, 14 Geatan 20d J Weir; 3rd Jos Lee.

AGRICULTURAL SOCIEY. ANNUAL EXHIBITION. _ On Tuesday last the above Society held their fifth annual exhibition, in this place. Notwithstanding the wea- ther was unfavorable, and the roads 'not in a very good state, still there was a good show, and a great number of people present. Our limited space, this week, will not allow us to par- ticularize ; suffice it to say, the show of horses, cattle, sheep, swine, &¢., was on a par with that of other years. The display ir the Floral Hall was ex. cellent, especially in the ladies' de- for which they deserve great credit; and we hope that here- after the ladies of North Ontario will not be backward in attending our Pro. vincial shows. We were highly pleased to notice that Mrs. D. Christie took the first prize, at the Provincial fair this year, for woolen socks; and as she has nobly set the example, let others follow. The fruit, grain, vege-. tables, and roqts, exhibited in the Hall were first.raté--better we have never seen. We noticed an immense squash, exhibited by Mr. Tomlinson--weight 124 lbs. As for the fruit, we had mo idea that anything like it could be pro- duced inthe Riding.

Whitby, Oct. 4th, 1862. A specil session bf thé county council wan held -day at 3 p.m., at the call of the i . Whtden, and Messrs. Campbell, ( or Fairbanks, Gamble, Guy, Marsh, Nickol, Perry, Ratliff, Sangster, Vernon and While, were present. The Warden explained that when he had heard that His Excellency, the Governor General, was to revisit Whitby, he thought it desirable that arrangements should be mado fo give him a proper reception. He felt justified therefore, in calling the Council togetlier on the present occasion, and he hoped the members would agree with him in it opinion. / There was another motion which he wilh to call the attention of . ouncil. Lands had been sold by the Shen ff amounting to more than $8,000 ; he had paid over to the Treasurer $4,000, and retained in his hands a balpnce of more than $4,000, . He (the Warden) had called on him with the Breasurer, and demanded the payment of that 'balance, bit he claimed that he had a nght to retair. it until thirty days after the adjourned sale, and, therefore he refused to pay it over. The Attorney General, whose opinion he had taken when in Quebec, Jiflered from the Sheriff as to the time he had a nght to retain the proceeds of land sales. The Warden had been com- pelled to borrow for the County for the amount of {He idle} the Shenfl held, and the Municipalities needed the portion of it which belonged to them. [Ile left the matter in the hands of the Council. Mr. Rateliff, when he had heard of the call of the Council to present an address to Lord Monck, thought it was taking quite too much trouble; but on further consideration he had come to the conclusion that it might have a good effect just now. He, therefore, moved, seconded by Mr. Perry, 'That a commitiss of five be appointed by ballot fo draft an addréds to be presented to His Excellency Lord Monck, next Mon- day on the occasion of his visit to Whitby.-- Carned. The committee appointed consisted of the Warden, and Messrs. Campbell, (Whitby) Fairbanks, Perry, and Rateliff. On motion of Mr, Fairbanks, seconded by Mr. Sangster, & commited was appointed consisting of Messrs. White, Sangster, Rat- cliff, Vernon, and the mover, to meet a com- mittee from the Town Council, and with them,10 make all necessary drrangements for the reception of the Governor nd " next Monday. --C: hd { Mr. Verhon fy #condéd by 'M Rateliff that a te of five be appoi to, call on the Bheriff and ascertain wind monies he now has on hand belonging 1 the county, and why such monies have no been paid éver to the Treasurer. Messrs. White, Sangster, and Campbell (Whitby), shqught such a gommittee quite unnecessary. A demand had already been made for the payment of the money, and the Sheriff had refused to pay it over, claim- ing that he was entitled to retain it until after the adjourned sale. The motion wa then allowed to drop. The Warden left the chair for five minutes to allow the 'address' committee to pre- pare their report. In due time the council resumed, and the committee appointed to draft an address to be presented to His Excellency reported ; the report was adopted, and the Warden | Spedamiest to attach the corporate seal ereto, and present the same to Lord Monck. On motion of Mr. Ratcliff a committe of five tras appointed to examing the account of lands sold for taxes, and to ascertain how much had been paid into the hands of the Treasurer, and how much the ShenfT still retained in his possession, and to report to the council next Monday. Messrs. Campbell, (Whitby) Fairbanks, Ratcliff, Sangster, and White, were named as the committee. The council then adjourned till Monday at3 p. m. : Monday, Oct. 6, 1862. The Warden took the chair at 3 p.m. Mr. Sangster moved, seconded by Mr. Vernon, That Mr. D. Beach be appointed County auditor in place of John Clerke, Esq., de- ceaned, for the remainder of the year 1862. --Carned. On motion of Mr. Perry, the Warden was. atithorized to grant an order on the Treasur- er for the payment of one half of the expen- ses connected with he reception of the Governor General this day. On motion of Mr. Perry the council re- solved itselt into a committee of the whole on the account of W. H. Higgins.--Mr. Chapman in the chair. Two or three items were passed, when Mr. Nichole and Mr. Thompson objected to proceeding with half the council present, 'especially as the printing committee had not had the account before them.

A Dublin letter of Sept. 17, in the London. Times, says :--The potato crop she mam reliance of the peasantry, and this year it is excellent. The disease has appearad in come places, but it has made very little progress. The crap 1s abundant, and, this year, for the first time since the famine, the tober has acquired the peculiar flaver for ish, that many of them would be content 10 be vegetarians if they could get enough of this, their favorite edible. ¢ The potato crop," says the Western Star, ¢ will be the sheet anchor of the small farmers. itis so superior, and so comparatively free from disease, that it will afford a large proportion of food, while an abundant yield of oats witl pay rent, taxes, and old scores incurred during the winter." It is consolatory 10 re- flect that we are not likely to hear anything of distress in the Wast of Ireland next year. An ample store of fuel has been prepared for the winter, so that we have before us a prospect of comfort and contentment among the industrious classes. Wheat ix consider - ed nut quite an average crop, but all 'the rest are an average, while the potatoes are far better than they have been since, the famine. This is the general tenor of the reports Coonsutl pangs ofthe counpry. Grain Prospects in England. From the London Times, Sept. 17. A fow days will now bring us to the close of the harvest. In the southern parts of the country the crops hate alieady been housed, in the midland counties the work is nearly finished, and even in the northern districts it 1s anticipated that the end of this month will see the year's stock of wheat secured. [tis natural to inquire with what results this work has been conducted, and what ac- counts are to be given of the harvest of 1862. We believe the results are unexpectedly fa- vorable, and that we have good cause 10 be thankful for the fruits of the reason. * * We beliéve that cur correspondent' enti- mate of it is very near the truth. [tis not quite an average crop, but it is very little short of that mark. It 1s not so good a crop as was anticipated in the middle of May, but it is a much better one than was ex- pected in the middle of July. A wet, cold, and tempestuous summer dashed the hopes suggested by a cheerful and promising spring; but a warm, sunny aviomn lias brought us around again, and almost restored the balance. Our reposts from the various corn markets of the kingdom lead exactly to this conclusion. In many quarters it is freely acknowledged that the yield is better than was expected both in quantity aud quality ; in fact, that is the prevailing view of things. There is a differance, of course, between different districts, different soils, and different varieties of wheat ; but, taken altogether, the crops are allowed to approxi- mate morc closely to an 'average' than was thought probable six weeks ago. The harvest will not be remarkable for abund.- ance, but neither will it be materially de- ficient. We have been speaking, 100, of wheat only, whereas there are other crojis earth's yield. Barley, oats, potatoes, and "root" crops are second in importance to wheat alone, and of these crops excelleiit accounts are given. Potatoes in particuloir are remarkably fine and plentiful--not ab-~ solutely.or in all places free from diseasc), but still exceedingly good, and likely to be cheap. Well, therefore, may we look with gratitude on the gifts of the season. It happens also, from & coincilence of cause, that we have lately received very large consignments of American grain. In 1861 we had imported by the end of July more than twice as much as in 1860, and this year we have even advanced on the importations of 1861. This was partly ow- ing to the apprehensions folt for our own harvest in the summer, and parily fo the position of the Americans, who have found it as necessary to sell as wa to buy. The demands of the civil war make them large customers of ours for arms and munitions, and in return for these supplies they have nothing to send ve but corn. Since the énds too, of July last the arrivals of corn from Amerion have been contiyued on a lgrge scale, having been caleulatad on the chinces of deficiency at home. In fact, we stood prepared in some degree fara poy lervest before harvest work begati, aud/are now, therefore, in no danger of short 4npplies. v The Township Plowing Match will take < Mr. Ratcliff was excused from voting. <The harvest of 1860 was J<Cidedly below which the Irish people have so keen & rel- ~ to be considered in she estimate of thos _ os.
