AH AGRICULTURAL EX- HIBITION. The above exhibition took place on the 12th inst., and notwithstanding the disagreeable state of the weather, was largely attended°-â€" \Vhile many Agricultural societies through- out He country are on the wane, Durham has this year shown increased zeal and vigor. The excellence of our horned cattle were highly eulogized by the Judges and others from a distance. The show of young horses were quite equal in quality to those exhibited at the late Provincial Show ; and we have been informed by those capable of judging, that our prize Fall wheat was superior to that which took the Provincial, and Canada Com- party’s prize. This should induce our farm- ers to become competitors in the Provincial Exhibition, especially in the article of grain ; for nowhere in Canada is there a soil better adapted to the growth of wheat,- than is the County of Grey. The large and varied as- sortment of roots and other vegetables were quite in keeping with the excellence of the other departments. Miss Ellen Davis and Miss Harriet Jones exhibited several well executed pieces of work in the Fine Artsâ€"the latter a speci- men of raised Berlin wool work, which for execution and design cannot readily be sur- passed. Mr Colles had a number of well finished likenesses in the photographic art, which attracted a crowd of admirersâ€"especi- ally the ladies. The fanning-mil of Mr. Rowswell surpasses anything yet shewn in Durham, and proves to be an excellent cleen~ er of grain. The double-waggon manufac- tured by Mr. Allen was highly creditable to his skill, combining excellence of finish with durability and strength. THE STANDARD. It was admitted by :11 parties that the quality of our Show was in advance of the County Show held here last year. nu: DINNER. . About six o’clock in the evening upwards of sixty gentlemen sat down to an emple and luxurious dinner prepared for them by M! Elliott of the Durham hotel.

THE DURHAM STANDARD, DURHAM, OCTOBER 19, 1860 Count‘y ofGrey Agricultural Show The County of Grey Agricultural Society Fall Show 1860, was held in Owen Sound on the 17th inst. The day was cold and mien?- ening in appearance, but still a large con- course of people gathered to Witness the exhi- bition. The show of tlze younger animals was good, that ofthose of mature age, not so good as it has been in other years. The grain and roots were as usual excellent oftheir sev eral kinds. Ofthe animals shown a Durham Cow exhibited by Mr. Neelands of Derby, and a two year old heifer of the same breed, by Geo. Jackson of Durham, may be individ- ualized without any accusation of partiulity, as the best on the ground. The following is the list of premiums awarded : Horses, Cattle, «90.

(CONTINUED)- 173’ “ ‘ * ’ ’ * no rate bill can be imposed exceeding one shilling and three pence per month for: each pupil attendingr school. All other expenses of each school must be provided for by voluntary subscrip- tion or rate on property, ‘ "’ "‘ ‘ " this act secures to each school section the benefit- of all the taxable property situated, within its limits, the 23rd section provides a prompt and easy mode of securing, the payment of all school rates on the lands of absentees. ' " ‘ ’ " There are but two particulars in which the powers of trustees are limited. * " * " * They, and they only, are author- ised by-law to determine the sum or sums that shall be raised, and when and how paid, for all school purposes, whether for the pro- curing of a school site. the erection, repairs, or furnishing of a school house, the payment. of a teacher, the purchase of apparatus, text books, library books, or for any other school purpose whatever. With these almost un- limited powers, Ste.” What power have the people left to them in the matter, either in- dividually or collectively? (see the act). Is, not the act the act of the Legislature? Does? it not secure, or appropriate all the taxable: property in the section to the school? What have the trustees to do, but to determine how much of the property they will take, and when and how they will take it, and then go and take? But do they not do this by the authority of the State? Has not the State taxed the property to the full amount of it? And when the trustees collect any part of such tax or property, (for is not the whole of the property a tax) is it not the State acting through the trustees as its officers? can any thing be more unfounded and absurd than the declaration that there is no State tax for. the common schools (which I suppose is the meanng of no ‘ State school tax ’) in upper Canada? And that ‘the Legislature does not levy and collect a single farthing? For what purpose can such a declaration have been made? Is it with a View to delude the people with the ‘idea’ that they have the liberty to manage the education of their chil- dren as they deem fit, while in fact they are deprived of their property,and by that means, may of them at least, are also deprived, of their educational liberty, as parents? And as to the property, just look at the state in which it is placed by the ‘ act ’ or ‘system 2’ all secured to the benefit of the section, (or school of the section of course) in which it- lies. In general people are desirous of ob- taining-a patent from the crown for land that it may be secured to them for their own use and benefit. 'And when a man takes land 01‘ house upon lease,of course he agrees toflwhat and when: he is to pay for it, and then ex- pects to hold it, subject to the rent which he as an individual has agreed ”to pay for it, dur- ing the time of the lease, for his own bene- Fulled Cloth.

But although people may do- lude themselves, or allow themselves to be deluded, with the idea, that such lands, whether household or leasehold, are theirs; is it not plain from the act that they hold them, and all other taxable property, only for the benefit of the common school; and that in general they neither know how much ,of the preperty, nor when, the trustees will come and take? Is this a tenure worthy of a free, intelligent, and industrious people, to hold all their property merely upon such a sort of suffrance? 0f the powers of the peo- ple in each sectlon (it seems they,the people, are all bundled together, without reference to individual inconvenience,or individual right :) the majority of the peOple elect the trustees ; and in conjunction with them, may decide upon a school site; they also, by themselves, I decide if a monthly rate bill, not more than 1 Is 3d per pupil, shall or shall not be paid, by 1 persons sending to the school, before the ‘ trustees shall make the general collection of the tax. For what purpose was this provision of the act? Did the concoctors of this scheme, intend it for a delusion and a snare? Was it to keep the people in strife with one another, that, while they imagined they wer‘ exercising their ‘ liberty,’ their attention should be withdrawn from a prOper study and contemplation of the ‘ system ’ and its scope and power, which, lilire a net, was enclosing them all? If so, was it not a cunning inven- tion ? In close connexion /with the subject of schools 15 tha’ of puby'c libraries: will you be so kind as to cast your eye at that also , as they form, and are/managed a: a part nf the ‘ system '? ’ ‘ system '? ’ 174 “ No language can overrate the im- portance of rendering accessible to the in- habitants, both old and young of all classes, in each municipality and section, the com- panionship (through their biographies and works) of the wise and good of all ages and nations; " ' ' " " It has been my object in providing for the establishment of these libraries, to render accessible to the re- motest township and school section in Upper Canada the choicest treasures at human knowledge.” This is good profession, sure- ly, can it be possible that any insurmounta- ble difficulties have been met with? Does. it not seem, to common sense, that all that was necessary was to distribute the book‘s ?

GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY.â€"This Company is reported to be in embarrassed circumstan- ces; for according to the Leader of the 11th inst., Messrs. Baring, Glyn Mills 8; Co., have taker. steps to recover the amount due them. The Leader anticipates a suspension of the mad, and a panic as the result. We have no fear of either. The road is now doing an ex- cellent business, and while this continues, there need be no anprehension of the bond- holders; and though the road were stopped to-morrow, we venture to say that our produce would find almost as cheap an outlet. Doubt- less the Leader wishes to impress upon the public their entire. dependence on the Grand Trunk. ‘ menss SUGAR CANE.~-â€"A short time‘ since we were shown and excellent sample of the Cane, grown by John Kelly, Esq., of this place.

Rowdyfism in Mount Forest. From an occasional Correspondent. On Tuesday night the 16th inst, a number of men and boys, hardly worthy of the name, assembled at the west end of our otherwise quiet town, and commenced an assault on the honse occupied by a colored man namedDan- iel Woodridge, by trade a Mack-smith. After ordering the man and his family to leave,and finding that the inmates were ofa different opinion, they commenced battering in the windows with stones, some oi them as large asa man’s head. The woman and children had to hide under beds or any place that would give them shelter, for the stones were flying in all directions, both back and frontâ€"- The windows and. glass door of the house pre- sented a very sorry appearance in the morn- ning. It almost appears a miracle how the inmates escaped being killed or severely bruised. The man of the house is. as quiet and innefiensigo as can be, his only offence- being covered" by hie Creator with a skin darker than their own, but with a heart by no means so black. There will be an investi- gation into the matter this morning(18th inst) before James Reid Esq. ., J. P. (To In: coxnxmtn.)

The Prince of “Tales arrived at twenty minutes past four o’clock this afternoon on: time. He was received by the Mayor on the platform of the cars without any formal cere- monies. No speeches were made whatever. Tho- Prince was conducted to his carriage am} driven to the Continental Hotel. A number of spectators gathered on the stewalk ot the hotel. As the special train passed Wilmington, Del., and other stations on the railroad, crowds were congregated at the depots, but the train passed on without stopping. The- locomotive “ George lVashington,” attached! to the train, was decorated with British and American flags. The Prince is enjoying himself as much as possible at his hotel. The stores on Chestnut street are illuminated to-- night, with the motto, “ W'elcomc to Victo- ria’s Son,” 111 gas lights. The streets are' crowded with people in search of election rew turns and the Prince. NEW’ YORK. Oct. 11. The Harriet Lane arrived at Castle Garden- a12z30. One ofthe amusing incidents of the trip wasa race with the yacht Marla, which. completely outstripped the steam cutter. The Prince came up a good part ofthe way on the deck of the cutter, and had :t good VlGW' of the harbor. On the way up the Royal par-v tv ‘stas the. recifieut of a grand ovation. From the Forts royal salutes were fired, and the steainboats and 5.11 craft gave most enthusi- astic demonstrations of welcomeâ€"His horsee were in readiness at Castle Garden, where the landing and the reception took place, by tho Mayor and Council. About 3 o’clock the Prince came out of Castle Garden. and reviewc ed the troops on the Battery. after which the p ocession termed and marched up Broadway through crowds of enthusiastic spectators to- the City Hall, and subsequently to the Fifth Avenue Hotel. The turnout of the people' was the greatest ever witnessed in New York- New YORK, Oct. 12. The Prince wasrerenaded last night by the Caledonia Club. The Prince, according to programme, visi- ted the New York University this morning. and received an :ddress from Chancellor Eerris and anotherfrom Prof. Morse ; thence- he visited the Astor Library, the Cooper In- stitute and the Free Acad: my, where the- schoiars all rose on his entrance, and remain- ed standing during the visit. After a drive- in the Central Park, accompanied by Mayor W’ood, he will proceed to High Bridge, return- ing it: time for the ball to-night. Soon after reaching the hots! this morning, a young fellow named Edward Moncaro, who says he came from England, evidently in a disordered state of mind, rushed out on the crowded sidewalk, shaking his fists and ex- claiming, “ who are you ’2” “can whip you.- any. way ;” “ you will never be King 0t Eng- land if you live a hundred years.” Some! spectators also declared he threatened to shoot the Prince, but others deny it He. was ar-- rested but no weapons were found on him. The Prince and suite paid no attention to the‘ disturbance ; they possibly did not hear the insulting language. The Prince, by desire. planted two trees in the- Central Park, one English oak the other American elm. We think that one answer to the question. is, Mr. Gamble owes his defeat tothe foolish. and mad advice of certain had friends, who knew no more about the feelings of the elec- tors of Kings Division than the man in the moon. By these men. he was urged to act shabbily to the Markham Convention, and set aside its decision ;: indeed. Mr. Gamble himself stated that these friends had repre- sented to him that he would=sweep Etobicoke. and have large majorities in Vaughan and Scarboro’. He will now know what value to set upon these had friends assurances. VVs told“ him he was too late, and could not be- elected, and the result has proved that we .were right. Mr. Perry received a unanimous .vote in Markham Village °,he also canvassed with great ability and mtifing energy King’s Division- When hereceived the nomination. every thing looked gloomy, but by his 5 e- rior abilities and energy he turned the sea es, and everywhere the. prospect of success in- .creased ; and after all this was done by Mr. Perry, Mr. Gambles friends very unfairly: compelled’ him (Mr. Perry) to: retire from the- field untl'era mistaken notion that they could' return Ms. Gamble. To this cause Mr. Gam- ble owes a= humiliating defeat; amt what is- much worse, he contributed to the success of a party we well know he thoroughly abhors ;: for we found it utterly imrossible to. get Mr- Perry’s friends to vote for Mr. Gamble. They felt, and 'ustly, that Mr. Perry hail been'hard- l dealt y, and stayed at home, some of them out of revenge voting even for Mr. Ree- Legislat’e' Council Elections 1860.. Bathurstâ€"James Shaw.
