These nots were} [sent by a correspondent from Brae Station, | but nothing appeared in the said paper) only the soft parts of the notes concerning | rum selling, ete., and nothing whatever|

about the picnic.

Now a few words about the liqnor traffic. | We have two rum holes here gurngat fuil blast from Monday morning till Sunday} night, notwithstanding all that has been: done to put down the illicit sale of that poisonous stuff called whiskey, gin and rum { suppose people will think that there can- not be many temperance men here, when| ihe fact is known that there are two rum shops kept up here ; but it is not the people of this settlement who are doing all the drinking. There is no doubt they do drink a considerable lot, but it is foreigners who are tie chief customers—men from other parts, who work in the factories around the shore.

Hon. Peter Gavin has been running a ehipyard, lobster factory and saw mill. He has lost heavily just by the rum sold to his men. They would be all on the spree from | Saturday sight till Monday morning; there- fore, when they were wanted to be at their post, they would be more like dead men than anything else. So, after putting up with a great deal of such doings, he got angry, and talked to those rum; sellers pretty harshly, and threatened to report them to the proper authorities if they would not stop selling. Bat they paid no attenticn to him; so it seems he did write to some of the Commissioners to prosecute such law-breakers, informing them of those jrumseliers and wishing to have them proseented, and they wrote him back telling him they would do so, if he, Peter Gavin, would furnish the money to cover the costs of thesame Now, Mr. Editor, it seems that there is just where the trouble comes in. There have been three or four men appointed by the Gov- ernment at a “salary of from three to five hundred dollars a year to grant licenses to vendors, and inspect the liquor sold by those vendors, and prosecute all illicit rum- sellers in Prince County; and, when auy person informs any of these cflicia!s that such and such a person is selling liquor in open violation of the law, and will produce | good evidence, and wishes to have sala ‘rumsellers prosecuted, they will teil you jthey cannot without the informer advanc- Be sufficient momey to cover the costs of ‘the prosecution.

Now, what is all this Government money lfor, if not for the purpose of bringing ail) \those mean, low-lived individuals, who are | daily violating the law by selling those

The fifth heat con- cluded the fiasco, Messenger Boy went to the front and tretted a splendid race with Wermwood.

Afier an ex- citing ficish Messenger Boy led Long Join half a length with Wormwood close up.

Local Fairs as Educators.

The Live Stock Journal of London has the following on Loeal Exhibitions :

Farmers have not as cordially devoted themselves to the success of annual fairs as their importance demands. The local anuual fair is the farmer's home school and should teach a valuable, praatical lesson. The fair should be expected to bring together the best evidence of the advance- ment of agriculture in its disivict. Uf the farmers in the distric!, represented by the annual fair, entered into it as a watter of

personal interest, competing whenever an opportunity cflered, offering prizes in all those departments most requiring unprove- ment, stimulating a liv rivalry, such

enthusiasm would predice most unexpected progress, and soon the fair a wide reputation.

The fair is capable of beimg organized into a most instructive schol in any or all departments of agriculture. Every prize offered should be for the iliustration of some important point in agricultural prac- tice; and, as the feeding of live stock absorbs more of the capital and time of the farmer than any other specialty, soit should oceupy & Very prominent position at all our local fairs, and.the prizes should be given to illustrate in a practical way all the live stock specialities. Al! breeds of cattle should be encouraged alike, for each breed has special qualifications adapting it to cer- tain localities. All matters in farm practice should be illustrated at our fairs, and every farmer should regard it as his duty to assist in building up these local fairs.
