SHERBORNE HORTICULTURAL FETE.

This annual event came off in Sherborne Park, on
Wednesday brat, under favourable auspices, the
pleasures of the day being only marred with two or
three slight showers, which, however desirable else-
where, did not seem particularly pleasant to the
visitors congregated on the Old Castle grounds. The
show at Shertorne always proves an affair of great
interest, not only on account of there always being
• good display of flowers, fruits, and vegetables, but
slim on account of the Silver labs and the romantic
slopes in the park so full of lay grandeur. The
exhibition this year was much larger than on former
omissions—three large tents being well filled—two
by the produce of the gentry, amateurs, and
, nurserymen of the neighb surbood, and the other by
the produce or cottager& gardens. In the toot
devoted to foliage plants, flowers, &a, was a large
collection of first-class foe:shies, ferns, stove and
greenhouse plants--not for oompetition—exhibited
by Mr. Piper, gardener to Lord Digby. Some
beautiful specimens were also exhibited by Mr.
;:*erris, of Dorchester. and W. H. Hellyar, Esq., of
Court. Mn. Paulson exhibited • collection

Grapes,both bleak and white, were largely exhibited,
and of first-rate quality. For prime for maims,
peaches, apricota, pears, and apples, the isompetition
was very greet. There were also several
dishes of cherries, and rod corrals* exolodullY
fine. In the vegetable department, the onions,
celery, and potatoes, were remarkably line. The
tent contained several floral devices—one of which
attracted much notice, it being an ostrich, with •
bone-shos in its month, representing the crest of G.
D. W. Digby, Esq., the owner of the grounds. The
tent devoted to the produce of oottagen *attained
four or flee model cottages, with flower and vegetable
gardens, some of which were exceedingly well
ezeoeted. There was a good display of Mate sod

vegetables, many of which were well grown. The

had an imbibition in this town during the examination
of those recently conscripted, which, for inhuman and

son as a substitute to the human shamble, where he fell
a victim, appeared in our town on bet Monday, dragging
at his heels two half grown, illahaped boys. They

This intensely "loyal" and "patriotic" fellow, when
his own son, a sturdy, well-grown young man. enlisted,

without his father's, eoneeot. Yet he is always full of
war, and eager for fighting, so long as it Wet the expense
of the blood of some one el.e Minn himself or his own
family. Being drafted, however, and wishing to lessen
the probability of such a misfortune befalling his
again speedily, and impelled at the same time to save a
little money, he had bargained with a brutal father to
pay a lees sum than SOO dollars for the body, the butes,
the blood, nay, more, the life of • child. We defy the
whole South to furnish an instance of each • disgusting
"dicker" in human flesh, or, front among all the profe•-

such • pair of monsters as these. There was no
veil of pretended loyalty or siraulatrd petrioquo

tion. The father vas actuated solely by • sordid
desire for gain. The purchaser was moved by
the meakiug white-livered cowardice that forbade
his risking bis own worthless carcase in • war for the
pros. cation of which he bowls daily, and by the mean
selfishness of his nature, which prompted him to make
• cheap bid when bertering for a human victim. A plot
had been made up by the parties to the disgusting tran•
section by which they hoped to deceive the board. The
boys were made to lees to their ages, and represented
themselves as older than they really were. Bo MlMS-
tars and youthful, however, was the appearance of the
little wretches that the board refused to believe the
statements made to them, even though tbe father
himself lied as to their ages, in order that he might be
enabled to effect a sale of his offspring. They were
both rejected for this reason, as entirely too young for
the service. The overgrown human brute, who had
expected to save himself in this way, sorrowfully and
relnetautly paid over his money to save his cowardly
*mown for a time ; and the wretched father, after is.''

went home, much disappointed, no doubt, in being
baulked in the site of his eons. Therein no colouring

of service. Here was • volaite magi, with one son whom
he had sold dead already, endeavouring to well two more
boys to what was almost certain death. He found
loyal Abolitionists ready and eager to become the
perchaaers of cheap subatitutes. Let us bear no more
about the bau-basistu of slavery, when the barbarian, of
this war can exhibit such a revolting spectacle in the

THI LIADIRS OF " YOUNG IRELAID."—That most
fortunate of Irish patriot.. Mr. Geese Duffy, intends
to forward Ell= toward, the O'Connell monument,
the subcriptions of himself and his fellow-countrymen
in Am-trail.. Howe of the ultra-patriotio class in Ire-
land, ever sines Mr. Duffy took office under the
Victorian government, have not scrupled to express
&tabbies to his loyalty to the "old cause," and th,lr
suspicions about his sincerity have not been weekened by
his good luck in obtaining the handsome pension al
£l,OOO a-year, through the overthrow of the administra-
tion to which he belonged. Hot enemy on behalf of the
O'Connell monument, however, will be received by many
of them as expiation for ht. supposed lukewermness
others will see a deep motive in Mr. Duffy's present
tribute to the memory of him whose heart, it is Reid,
was broken by the party to which be belonged—tb•
Young Irelanders. Mr. Duffy, rumour as it, is ex-
tremely anxious to revisit the "Orson Isle," and,
probably knowing the feeling prevalent against hint
among his former admirera, ham cleverly taken advan-
' tags of the opening offered him by the O'Connell
memorial to pave the way towards a reconeilia.
lion with them. The personal histories of the
Young Ireland leaders, since their dispersion,
are not a little singular. Duffy is about to re-
turn to Ireland with • handsome pension, after serving
under • constitutional government; D'Arey Mies is
one of the moot loyal men in Canada; Mitchel is at
Richmond, supporting with his pen the Confederates,
in whose cause two of bin sone have poured out their
blood; while Meagher, with as high abilities as any et
them, has, after bleeding for principles quite at variance
with those he eloquently sustained at home, shared the
fate of all Federal " heroes"—eunk into oblivion. The
minor actors in the mimic rebellion of '4B have dis-
