We inet a farmer last week while oat from home, and in conyersation naturally made enqniries in regard to the damage done by the frost on the night of the 9th Sept He said every thiDg was destroyed, the gram is frozen, the potatoes are killed, the garden stuff is mined you would imagine that starvation stared him in the faee, he could not see how they were going to worry through, didn't understand how it was that farmers had to work so hard the year round and then have all their prospects blighted in one night. A long breath of relief escaped almost unnoticed by us when we quietly slipped away in hopes of encountering a more hope- iull person next time. Soon we were in conversation with another farmer, and of course directed our qrestions towards what we thought would in- terest him moat, but oh what a dif- ference in his tone, he said in refer- ence to the late frost, that it had no doubt done considerable damage, yet, said he, we haye no reason to com- plain, the hay wag an enormous crop and saved in fine condition, ih=i "ea- 8on was favorable for dairying and butter was a fair price, he neyer saw beef and u^utton a better price, eggs â- were very high this season, potatoes which were planted in anything like good season had come to maturity before the Irost and were an excel- Jcnt crop, and excepting late grain, the damage done by the frost was not serious, and taking the season as a whole farmers had no reason to grum- ble or complain but rather be thank- full. We have heard it remarked, tnere is as much difference in some people as there is iu anybody. If there is any one to be pitied more than another we think it is the grumbl- ing whining fault finding discontent- ed person they can never be happy themselves while they make every one iqiserable arournl them. We believe the remarks ot farmer No. 2 are about right iu regard to the general outlook of the season and that the re- sults of the seasons operations will be on the whole satisfactory and fully up to the averatre. i^tm^ptxn^etWB. THE l]iDUSTRIAL, EXHI- BlTIO^i. The Toronto Industrial Exhibition has been a success each year since established, bur this year has eclipsed all former ones in number of entries, .quality of the exhibits, amount oi re- ceipts and 111 the various attractions. The first week large numbers from far and near inado it a point to be present at the formal opening it being the last visit oi' the Marquis of Lome and Princess before leaving for Eng- land, the day however wad the most disagreable during the whole fair ow- ing to the down pour of rain. The second week however was exceedingly favourably the weather was all that could be desired throughout. Many a thousand were hindered from at- tending on account of the late harvest yet the whole iuclosure, being 62 acres, presented a grand appearance and was one moving mass of people, some 140,000 people visited the grounds and the gate receipts were over $30,- 000,000. Osprey. From our own Correspondent. The Feversliam mills are undergoing re- pairs. D. C. McFarlaue is doing a tremendous business at Melntyre. TJie grain here is nearly all cut, and all that is required to have it safely gathered is about a week of fine weather. The Eev. L. Hall.who was the Primitive Methodist minister at Feversham for the last five years, is giving up the mmistry with the Yiew of commencing business a£ a gener- al store keeper. It is generally acknowledged that the frost ou the 9th of this month destroyed over 70 ler cent of the best crop of spring wheat evfif seen in the Township and about 20 per. cent of the oat crop. A Nottawasaga man walked froai his own town, last Sabboth morning, to Singhampton a distance of fivo miles to get a single glass of whiskey, but could not get it. He then walked to Melntyre a^stance of four- miles but Neil was too well brought np to sell on Sunday, and so the poor man started for Badgeros 6 miles further where he got what he wanted, a long walk for a drink^S miles. The arbitrators ruseutly appointed by the County Council to form a new school sec- tion in Osprey, were Bccessfoi hs far as the formations of section was concerned, but were very unsuccessful in suiting tha major- ity of those more particularly a^ected.

To Editor Stabdabs. Sm â€" In looking over Mr. Fawcett's comment upon my last letter in the Standabd, I ^as never more forcibly struck with the truth of the old adage "It is easier to argue with a stateman than a fool." It is a wretched fosioQ of suppositions, hmts, insinaatioos, misstatements, misrepresentations and silly repetitions in which he has not established a single point, and con- cludes by saying, " this is all we have to say about W. G. Pickell." Mr. Fawcett persists in saying that I used threats, which I say is utterly false. In the matter of selUng stock for more than the price paid, I wish Mr. Fawcett to understand that I don't buy feed and sell stock for amusement, 1 do it to make money and think ten dollars made on a beast which in the rising market of last spring was noth- ing unusual; muchmore honorable than serving up scandal once a week for fifty- two consecutive weeks to ten disgusted families for the paltry sum of ten dollars. Furthermore, prices of stock bought in an open market are never supposed to be a secret, as the most casual thinker will readily see, therefore there has been no hidden thing of darkness brought to light through his valuable columns. Mr. Fawcett darkly hints at my business transactions which he calls " getting into scrapes." I challenge him right here to give the facts in detail of any case which he assumes to know about, and not hints, or parts, but a full account of those things, and deduct from them anything mean or dis- honorable on my part. I challenge Mr. Fawcett on this ground particu- larly, and will meet him on any ground for an explanation. Mr. Fawcett claims that he never meddled with my character he has done so from the very firnt when he allowed " True Charity" to appear iu his columns without a name, and he has continued to do so ever since. I don't think be knows when he does meddle with a man's character. He jealously guards his rights as a journalist of which I think he has a very vague idea. I ask him had he any right to allow anyone under an assumed name to make charges against me before he knew whether a wrong had been done which has Jiever yet been proven nor can be. I ask him further, had he auy right when I justly indignant, dropped his paper, to continue to publicly insult me. I also wish to know where " the depth of meanness" lay iu my letter in the Standakd. Mr. Fawcett wants to know how I could afford to treat such charges with contempt as those made by "Grazier." I wish him to know that I am no adventurer in this place, and can well afford to treat such a charge coming from such a source through such a paper, with supreme contempt, and were it not that Mr. Fawcett has hitherto got fools' pardon for his many personal insults given through his paper during his short career as a jouinahst iu Fiesherton, I would treat him iu like manner. He seems to have yet to learn that other men have'rights as well a journalist. My sliort Intterâ€" tlio only one I ever stooped to make through his paper on the subject of •' True Charity," con- tained all that we meant and we ask his readers if they thought it scurril- ous •?" Mr. Editor, the people of Fiesherton claim at least to be a fairly moral and intelligent community. Our mails come to us daily and weekly laden with the leading papers rehgious and secular. We read, our families read those papers, not trashy litera ture, and I take upon me this far to "interfere with Mr. Fawcett's right as a joufnahst" to say that if he as an editor hopes to succeed amongst us he must understand his position better and raise the moral tone of his pa- per to a higher standard, not the kind of reading matter that he has given to his readers generally, particularly in the last few weeks. In conlcusion, I wish to remind Mr, Fawcett that his readers are waitmg patiently for an- other lengthy editorial which should have appeared after his issue of the 20th ult., when be was waited upon by a number of the leadmg men of our village, some threatenmg to withdraw their support others telhng him plain- ly his paper was not fit to come into a family. I thmk his idea of his rights as a journalist were interfered with on that occasion, and the even tenor of his way he is so determmod to pursue was shghUy disturbed Trust- ing you will bear with me for occapy- ing 0o mucU valuabte space in yonr Yours respectfully, W.
