The wenther is said to be very fine and the enâ€" tries of cattle, horses and agricultural pro duets are very numerous. . Indeed, the live stock department is said to outstrp anything of the kind that has ever been exhibited in this conutry. THE REVIEW. The advice of Mi. Gladstone is not withâ€" ou‘ practic@‘ interest to farmers in the Conuty otf Grey. Tue past season has been an exceptionally favorable one for the erops,. There has been a fair proportion of rain and suushine, there has been an almost entire freedom from summer frosts and the depredations of insects, which are usually so injurious to the wheat plant, yet notwithstanding, the yield upon some exâ€" ceptionally good furms will not reach more thas ten bushels of wheat to the aere, while generally, from reports which have been received, the yield will be much less. Nothing can show more clearly than this does, that if farming is to bo snccessful among us a radical change must be made in the method pursued. Moreover, in a very lew years wheat from the Western States and the North West will be laid down here more cheaply tâ€"an it can be grown, so that the sooner the advice of M . Gladstone is followed, and farmers apply their labor and capital to the réaring of cattle and sheep for which this section of country seems to be specially adupted the better for themselves, for the conutry, and for a truly National Policy as well. grow th of fruits and vegetables, yet, as he said, there are of these articles over twozstyâ€" ’ tive million dollar‘s worth yearly imported trom abroad while at the same time the agriecaltural interest is suffering |from competition in wheat and other farm proâ€" ducts. â€" In effect, Nir. Gladstone said that it they found that in the grain and meat markets they were uadesrold by American farmers and graziers, then let their atten tion be turned to the cultivatim of those products of tie soilâ€"fraits and vegetableâ€" â€"which would bring remunerative prices and for which there would always be a steady demand. The Dritish agriculturist moves in well established ruts, even alâ€" though priees come down and rents go up, and finally is o%liged to quit: but Mr. (GGiladstone desires that he shall accomodate himself to the ever cbhanging cireumstances around him, that if in the eultivation of wheat he is ontstripped by those who are more favored by soil and climate than he: is tor the growth of that cereal, then that his labor and capital shall be directed toâ€" wards the caltivation of those products of tue suil for which be has special facil ties. .. The state of political affuirs in Quebec is unchanged. M. Joly is making a tour of the Province for the purpose of discussing with his fellow countrymen the grave situaâ€" tion of public affairs, and every where has been received with every token of respect and aduiiration. In a speech s€ the city of Quebec at which several thousiitds were present, when speaking of the points at issue in the present struggle between the Legislative Assembly and the Council he ing. â€" Tue other day, wuen speaking at the Hawarden Flowee and Fru.t Suow, he touk the opportunity of directing tae atteuâ€" tion of the ftarmers to a very important inâ€" dustry which was almost eutively negluctâ€" ed by them. Although the sorl and climate of Great Dritain are well adapted for the ’ The versatility of the Exâ€"Premier of Gveat Britain is something extraordinary. Whether addressing theHouse of Commons ou tae fluanci ) question of tae day, writ ug to the Centemporary on the position of the Evangelical purty in the Cuurch of Eagâ€" iand, speaking to the patpers of St. Panâ€" }cms on the duty of Christian resignation, or to the farmers of Hawurden on spade 1 husbandry be is equally at home, equally powerful and equally instructive. â€" It is too uften the case ou this side ot the Atlantic that the spirit of the partizan so dominates our politiciauns that they are simply poliâ€" ticiaus and nothihg more. ‘There are a fow motable exceptions, but nevertheless fiaction holds iss unrelentless sway, and pariy prejudices are allowed to cvlor aud distort the utterauces of public imen on questions which ars entirely outside the uomain of politics, â€" Not so witu Mr. Gladâ€" stoue. No one has been more of a party purty sympathies to determine his sympaâ€" man thau he, nor has any one allowed thies on public matters â€" more â€" than he has done, but when the ocasion demands he rises above the spirit of faction and discourses upon public matters in the way wuich he thiuks wiil be most profitable to those whom he hus the privilege of addressâ€" suid tiat ‘‘ihe qunestion was whether the peopte of the Province of Quebec would aubmit to be governed by an irreeponsible body or would insist npon keeping the management of their own affairs in their own bands." The resignation of M. Chanâ€" veau, as stated in our last issue, was supâ€" nosed by some to be a most likely means of bringing about a coalition between M. Joly and the Opposition. Such a course woulu be most disastrous to good governâ€" meutiv the sister Proviuce aud equa.ly iwjurious to the future of the Libers. varty. But it is satisfactory to find that M. Joly gi.es forth uo uncertain sound upon tuis vital question, as in the course of the speech to wuich we have referved he said that "coaltion was imposâ€" ‘nble. it would be cowardiy to accept it ior the sake of reta‘niug power, and he would prisfer _ defeat. _ No cualitor _ could } twke place between the Liberal party and the men who had reviled that party for ")enrs ; between an economical administraâ€" tion aud those who maintained themselves :n Office by squandering the money of the 'pulfhc at the dictation of railway rings," Nothing could be more satisfactory to all lovers of purity in the Governments of the Country. Tue way is now clear, The issues ';n‘e cleurly defined, aud there can be no question as to the result. In all probabiliâ€" ty the end of the matter will be an appeal to the constitueucies, and if such should ie the case there is the utmost confidence that in the nest Assembly the Liberal \ party will be stronger thau they are in the [ preseut House.

Several of the men of the neighborhood deternsined to try their guns on him the following evening, if he returned, and carried back the part of the careass that remaizned. â€" Early in the afternoon the huge monster was seen leisurely erossing a field towards the bush, where he expected to find Fis smpper. Howâ€" ever it was long after dark before he came out to where the meat was.

The discussion commenced on Monday last, and will coutinue every evening except Saturday. There would be some enconragement if the question could ouly be decisively settled, but Times are very dull in Flesherton yet. The Right Hon,. J,.

On Tuesday last the Northern Exhibition commenced at Walkerton.

One tent contained a twoâ€"headud calf from the township of Morris and was a curiosity weil worth seeing. _ Uf course the calt was dead and stuffed, We found Professor D. Ritchic, of Elora, inviting yisitors to the Exlubition to step inside the tent and take a view of this natural ewiosity, and he was helding forth in such an sloquent strain that we wonder it had not the eifect of restoring the stuffed calf to life again. There was a fine display in the Main buildâ€" ing, which is a very commodious hall. Mr. Robert MeFarlane, of Durbam, has on exhibiâ€" tion a very handsome Waggon, a beautiful democrat, a single buggy and a trotting buggy. There is a large show of carriages, ete.
