The McGre-sr stock

Mr.. Arthur Burial carried off some
fine premiums at the Henry county fair
at Cambridge this week on his McGregor
stock. His Almont McGregor No. 1875,
which has been in the stud at Geneseo for
three years, and colt, won six premiums
in the show ring: he carried off first
honoTs on stallion one year old; frs; and
second on two year old mare; first on
mare colt one year old; first on mare colt
under six months old, and for the stallion
showing the best five colts. he took the
only premium. The McGregor stock is
fast obtaining a pretty high place among
horsemen, and Bonnie's achievements
this week do not lessen its standing one
whit either.

PROFESSOR GOODWIN SMITH listened
quietly the other night TO tle dissertation
of tho Rev. X. h, Howard, secretary Of
the Peace society, upon the horrors Of war.
The reverend secretary argued that ex-
cept among barbarous people war would be
no more waged, because Christianity and
the advanca OF civilization had created a
kindred foelng among the nations OF the
world. Professor Goodwin Smith then
arose and replied, admitting that these in.
fiuencss have Ia q largo degree abolished
war. Commercial differences can, should,
aud undoubtedly will be settled by arbi.
tration, but 1t would fail IN case where q
nations honor had been injured, where tho
controversy WAS one In which the people
fclt that their manhood had been insulted
by an etlront offered 10 their country. War
has not been without Its virtues. 1t has
done more than anything else to elevate
our standard Of humanity. AS q proof of
this, witness the kindly treatment OF the
wounded and OF prisoners In recent sIs
and compare that tIestment with the hor-
Tible butcheries OF wounded and prisoners
In the earlier coLtllcts. Tho wars OF
Americs, and speak as an Englishman,
certainly have bssn necessary, and re-
suited In incalculaole good, which could
only have been accomplished by strife. "
