Jackson, at the Laurie Spool Company, St. Alexis dc: Monte.

Ideal autumn weather prevailed and on the second daya conservative estimate placed the waw vvâ€"â€"_ crowd of satisfied pleasure seekers on . the grounds at over 2,000. The gate ; receipts were $280.40. booths $15.00, ; than the best former years. The ex- hibits were on the whole good, but in some lines specially good which was the case in the Ladies’ depart- ment where the fine arts and fancy needle work eclipsed former exhibits. . The display made by the ladies con- tributed much to the beauty of the Fair; their work was not only much admired and praised by the Spectat- ors. but by the lady judges from whom we learned that much of the work shown was exceedingly fine. In fine arts Mrs. R. N. Henderson, of this place, showed a collection of paintings and drawings which was very much admired and would do credit to a much more pretentious Show. The horticultural exhibits also attracted much attention. Mrs. Dafoe’s fine collection worthily dis- played the red ticket. The cooking; displayed was very tempting, Mrs; Wm. Henderson, of this place, a lady of 72 summers, won the red ticket on homemade bread. The dairy and grain exhibits were both tine ; roots, vegetables and fruit (plums excepted) were good and indicated plenty in the hands of the husbandman. Mr. W. Moore, of this place, made a fine exhibit of harness. In specials Mr. W. H. Bum; showed furnflt‘ure; Gr. Welton, truck scales and creamers and J‘ W. Sproule sewing machines, etc. Outside the hall stood the cost- ly and beauuful display of waggons. sleighs_and buggigs Enanufactured by D. McTavish and J. H. Heard, of? this place, who vied with each other for the coveted prize. Recently a visitor from a dietant town was praising to the writer the excellence of the carriage industry in this place and. from the exhibits made at the too flattering of the same. The gen- eral verdict was that the exhibit was the finest ever shown here. It had the constant attention of spectators and the encomiums paid might be considered just cause for pride on the part of the manufacturers, and the village as well containing such progressive industries. The exhibit- ors had several beautifully furnished buggies on show, but both had one of special make and finish which were pictures to look at. Mr, Heard’s had a strong and artistically finished box inlaid in birdseye, while Mr. McTavish’s was an artistic box in birdseye also all made in dovetail as shown in a box exhibited in the natural wood. Both buggies were ornamented with handsome lamps in brackets and had roller curtains in the tops. The trimmings through- out were ths finest. The Judges were unable to agree and finally set- tled upon a tie awarding a red ticket to both. In stock there were some fine thoroughbreds and a good exhibit throughout. The track was in fine condition and the speeding was keen- ly contested.

Mr. Pig-' gott received a an ovation when he he appeared for his closing song " Bobs ” in which he was in uniform and powdered hair a facsimile of the ;popular Field Marshall.

Osterhout, Principal of the Rodney Public School, committed suicide this morn- ing about 9 o’clock by cutting his throat with a razor, and died ten minutes after. Mr. Osterhout had been sick for a few days, but under Dr. Darland’s treatment his condition improved, and on Saturday he went to the residence of his brother-in-law Mr. Peter McVicar, near Wardsville, where he committed the deed. He came here from Wabash, near Tha'rgesville. and had only been teaching since the summer holidays. succeeding Mr. Wallis. A short time ago he had a severe illness, which left him in aweak condition, and, having some trouble in his school last week, it is supposed his mind was not. in proper condition to stand the strain of worry and work, as he had not fully recovered from this former illness. ‘ ' ‘ A Teacher’s Suicide- Opposition seems to be the life of trade in our village. Several years ago three blacksmiths were doing business here. but found that there was not enough trade to make it pay, l hence one ot them dropped» out.‘ Last Monday the third shop‘ was Opened again, and now the prophets are at work, endeav‘oring to solve the problem as to whom the longest lease of life in that line is given.

Mr. Adam Volz, of the Commercial Hotel. met with a, rather serious ac- cident on Monday evening of last week. It seems that he and some Others were having some Sports, and that Adam ran away, and in so doing slipped and fell. The party follow- ing fell over him with the result that he is now nursing an injured shoul- der. Messrs. Geo. Freeman and A. C Watson are somewhat laid up this week, the former with a sore finger, the latter with a swollen hand. Both patients are progressing favorably.
