TIIE extent of the Huntingdon Fair last week can bast be eslimuted by the number of eutrien in various chissea, which were as follows:—Horses, 27L; cattle, 122; sheep, 65; swine, 26; dairy pro- duce, 71 ; fancy articles, 474 ; rag carpete, 23; flowers 3L; vegetables, 200 j apple jelly, 32; preserves and fruit, almost counties*. Again the growth of the so- ciety, financially, ia well indicated by comparison of the gate receipts twenty years ago with those of this year. At the former date they were $180; this year they amounted, it is said, to $1,200. THE Goavernour Tribune BUJS that a short time since some finely dressed youug men went through that town selling groceries by sample to the farmers. The price wait wonderfully low and the goods wonderfully fine, Jt turns out that on the goods being delivered they proved to be poor at any price.

People have been fooled often enough, it would seem, to cause them to remember this. ON Saturday afternoon the Elm City base ball club of Mnlone played a return match with the Fort Covington club on the fair grounds in this village. The advent o! the Elm Cities took our boys considerably by surprise, as they had been expected day or two previous, hence their coining L 11 was supposed tohaveJieen postponed foi indefinite period. „ However the \Hay- seedi\sooa rallied, and mustered in suffi- cient numbers to fill the bill. After th< Elm Cities had partaken of a hearty dinnei at the Stafford, both clubs, accompanied by a goodly number of uuxious villagers, wen to the *' batt and ball\ in right gooc earnest. At the start the \ Hayseeds scored some good runs, but in the end tuck favored the Elm Cities, who provec the victors by a score of fifteen to thir- teen.. Pressure upon our columns will noi allow us to give the official count of, th< game. The visiting club request us to re- turn thanks to oar local team for courteouB treatment while here, and also to land- lord Leo of the Stafford House for his hospitable entertainment. TUB cuisine department of tho Stafford House is ifow under Iho manage- ment of an intelligent and thoroughly practical cook—brought up expressly b; landlord Lee from Montreal, to prepare anc see to the preparation of the many kind of meats, viands and general fixini' which are dajlyiiirved at the tablet of his well ocdored&ouse. That he (the oook) knows how to prepare an exceptionally fina meal the many gnotU who partook of dinner at the Stafford on 8unday last, will, wo feel confident, btar teatiraocy. It's sot oftei poor editors—poor hungry devils that they are generally—are so lucky as to get a chance at a '< good square meal,\ so could not resist tho whoIeaouWd invitation of friend Leo, and walked in wila th* crowd, hence bad an excellent opportunit; ol puttiug tho capabilities of bis <( coon,! as be jocularity call* bin, to a fair teat.

HOP picking in this country will be finished this week. The crop upon :ho whole is reported to bo very good botl as regards quantity and quality, though he acreage is much smaller than usual, uid many yard* were poorly tended. These of course will give but a small yield, and altogether the crop will be much smaller than the average. Yards which wero well looked after give good returns.

TUB Montreal Trade Bulletin re- cently gave an interesting history of the Allan Grove Cheese Combination, o hich our friend Peter Mucfurlane, o Huntingdon, is an active member,- doting buck about seventeen years, when the niiltc of the two dairies of Messrs. D. H McPhareoa and D. A. McPhorsou, whicli had formerly gone into butter, was pooled into a 75 galUn vat for This innovation was considered a mtiBt foolish one by the rest of the farmers in that section, but at the close of ti most satisfactory and profitable results had accrued to the pioneers of the Allan Grove factory, as* they realized about 12c. per ib. for their goods, whieh were of fine quality. The following year a regulai factory was started with a 200 gallon when several neighboring farmers turned iu their milk and a second good season'] business was experienced. From this small beginning of one factory, producing IS boxe* of cheese per week, the Allai Grove Combination has gone on increas- ing until it can now boast of being th< largest in Canada and the United States, comprising no less than 63 factories will an a oo ro o a ^ e production of 3,000 boxes per week, the superior quality of which is so well known in the English markei that it alweys commands an extreme figure. The name of this combination was takei from ihe Alias Grove farm of Mr. D. M. McPherson of Lancaster, Ont. FLAMING posters are to be seen at every four corners announcing th< annual feast of the Malone as they (the posters) say, will be heh during three days of next week. It is gratifying to learn that the people in thk part of the county this year are takihj little or no interest in this \ concern, 1 gotten up, as repeatedly pointed out by us for the sole benefit of a parcel of trickstei and voracious sharks ia and around the county town.
