TORONTO, o., Oct. I'd, 1870.
What New York is to the Empire State,
and what Rutland is to the Green Noun
tain State, the same is Toronto to the
whole Dominion of Canada.
The grand, wide awake, move along,

ten years time, be the metropolis of the
Canadas, as Mon treal is now. They have
the life and Yankee vim here, and all
that is wanted is little capital and lit.

most prosperous cities on the American
continent.
Toronto is this season the scene of
THE PROVINCIAL FAIR,
held every year, for the past "a years in
some city of the Province, for the same
purpose, of course, as all Mechanical and
Agricultural Fairs are held. In fact,
Canada is great country for fairs, and
every fall, every city, county and province
has to have its annual display of the pro-
ducts of its precincts. The present exhi-
bition is a great success, and probably
there was never one held in the Dominion
which has been so fully attended and gen
orally popular. The entries have been
most extensive in every branch, particu-
larly in vegetables and fruits, (apples and
grapes) leather tanning and live stock.
They have, probably, the most extern
sive and complete stand of thoroughbred
stock now on exhibition, that has ever
been collected at one time in America.
There is a host of visitors in town, and
accommodations cannot be had for the
multitude now in want of them. The
Rosin House, the favorite resort with fash
ionable and first class, pleasure and bus
mess travel is crammed, and they are
filing up tonight with cots in the parlors
and halls. Yours, etc,

MASONIC GENEROSITY. - In a recent
Masonic Address delivered in Troy a
pleaing Masonic incident in reference to
our revered and lamented townsman, the
late Rev. Leland Howard, is brought to
light.
In 1924 Mr.. Howard was Master of a
Masonic Lodge in Troy, and on account
of his connection with the fraternity,
some trouble arose between him and the
society of which he was pastor. So much
SO that he felt obliged to leave his charge.
He was held in such respect and love by
the fraternity that Apollo Lodge of f.
and A. NJ. and Apollo Chapter of Royal
Arch Masons made up purse of eighteen
hundred dollars and presented it to him,
accompanied by a set of resolutions
adopted by the Chapter.

THE Rev. Mr.. ANDERSON, is soon, we learn
to dissolve his PASTORAL relation with the Con-
gregalional church of this place with the ex-
pectation of leaving town. This change is
induced by a call from the Congregational
church at Jamestown, N. Y. which has been
accepted, and that field is to become the scene
of his future labors. We are glad to know
that if he is to leave us, that his prospects for
the future are SO much better than anything
that could be offered him here. We learn that
jamestown is a place of some 5000 popula-
tion, that the church is an able and fiourshing
one, that the salary offered is $4,000, beside
which he is provided with house. While
here the COLONEL, as he is famiiarly called,
has by his genial and sunny manner his usual
kindness of hc~rt, and his ready tongue and
hand for any good word or work, won macy
friends and admirers, who will take the sun
dering of those ties, so pleasantly formed, with
deep regret and in leaving, they will follow
him with their best wishes for his future well
fare and happiness.
A union of the two churchcs-the Congre-
gational and the Presbyterian-is intimated,
and we are informed that the good Offices of
the retiring Pastor of the Congregational
church have been eXerted towards such con-
summation. Such an union, forming one
strong organization, is to be hoped for, and
as the grounds of disagreement that lead TO
the separation haye been swept away in the re-
markabe progress of the age, there is nothing
of really insuperatle character in the way of
its coming about.
