TO THE FARMERS: Since the date of our last advertisement to you we have sold 1100 acres of land, and being all the land held by us in behalf of the various Loan Companies we represent, except the Shaw farm of 200 acres in Kinloss, and which we are offering very cheap and on very easy terms of payment. Several farmers have, however, placed their farms in our hands for sale, so that we hope to be able to spply the bulk of the demand for farms as heiretofore. But as our sales exceeded 1.000 acres last spring we would request those in want of a cheap farm to apply early, as the spring time will now soon be here. We can grant very reasonable terms of payment for all our sales and a low rate of interest, If you wish to renew or change you mort- gage, or put a new mortgage on your farm, or send money away in payment of the interest or principal of your mortgage,, we can guaran- tee you satisfaction and at a very trifling expense. We lend money on farmers' notes for long or short time, and can supply all demands on reasonable terms, Sale nates a specialty.

A Sabbath 'School Convention of the township of•Kinloss called by Mr. Alfred Day, Secretary of the Provin- cial S. S. 2 ssociation, was held in the Presbyterian church, Luoknow, on J ay 12th; for the purpose of . organ - '`•i -vg S. S. workers in "the Townsnip into a permanent association. After devotional exercises conducted by Mr. McKay,, Mr. McNabb was appointed' chairman and Mr. J. Bower- ing Secretry. There was a fair attendance at the meeting. Mr. Day spoke • of the needs me,hocls and results of organized S. S work, and urged .strongly the advis ability of organi`;ing. On motion of Mr. McKay, seconded by lJr. J. G. Murdock, it was agreed that a Sabbath School Association for the township of Kinloss be organi'cd. The chairman appointed a committee to nominate officers"for the association and report at the evening session. , Mr. McLennan addressed the meet- ing on the Bible, its unity of purpose, a basis of interpretation, it reveals God and nakts known to roan his state, his relations and responsibilities, it unfolds God's ' one method of salvation, in its origin and full develdpement, it is a message of God to man the great burden of which is Paradise lost and Paradise regained. After the close of the public, school a large number of the scholars came to the meeting, and after singing by children Mr. Day spoke to them with good effect. He spoke of the word of God as a lamp lighted, an inextinguish- able light ; guiding light ; an honest light and a tried light—light: The ening session was opened with prayer led by Mr. Kenner. Mr. C. Stewart and choir conducted the singing, - The nominating committee, reported through Mr. Bowering the following as the officers for the association— Mr. J. G. Murdock, President; Miss M. Walke'r•, Sec-Treas; Mr. D. C. Taylor, 1st. vice -President ; Mr. Holmes, 2nd vice -President. The executive committee to consist of the officers ofthe association, the Superintendents of Sabbath, Schools and Pastors. These nominations were adopted by the meeting. S OUTHEEN CALIFORNIA. Interersting Lettenfrom a Sentinel Corre pondent According to promise, Mr. Ee ito I send you a description of th'1<s, fa famed and over boomed Souther California, and as I have not travelle .over but a p:�rt of it, I will taLe th model colony of Ontario as a sampl of the country. In general, t:i 'ounder of the colony was a Canadia capitalist from Toronto by the nam of Mr. Chase, who in honor of hi eastern home gave it the name o Ontario. -Now for convenience" I wi divide my remarks under the follow ing heads :-1st, The position of th country ; 2nd, The climate; 3rd, Th '-ndustries and production ; 4th, Th _ I inhabitants :5th, As a place for settle meat ; 6th, Facilities' for transport ation ; 7th, Future prospects of the country. Ontario properly known as the ,model colony, is located near •tlie western border of St: Berrnardine county.. It • is 35 miles from the Pacafic ocean and is situated near the geographical centre. of a valley 65 miles in length and 15 miles in'width and upon that portion of it having the greatest elevation above the sea. The soil is gravelly in 'the centre and, near the foot of the mountains, it is nothing but boulders, and a Canadian would hardly take t n acres of it and be compelled to. live on it and clear it, yet the Company ask $250 to $280 per acre for. it. 'The editor of the Ontario Observer says that the land is as fertile as that of the Nile. ' Tf you want thetruth and nothing but the truth of a California edit,,: remarks, ,lust' extract the square root of them and you will have it. The , land is divided into 80 , acre blocks and then subdivided into 10 acre lots, and the water for irrigation: purposes comes to the highest corner of each lot. The land, and water 'to irrigate it for all time to • come are sold together thereby making it'.hi)r in price. One improved 20 acre lot, with trees four years old, fair house, and stable was sold for $25,000 lately, but in the generality of cases, it runs from $250 for unimproved to$1000 for improved per acre: The climate is' semi tropical, with no snow and very little frost. The rainy season lasts through the latter part of January, and the month of February, but it is not disagreeable as • very little rain falls at any . time' during the year. The summer is hot 11at the atmos- phere beingso dry the heat is not so oppressive. From one o'clock in the morning until about JO is the hottest part of the day, after which time a cool sea breeze from the Pacific springs up and generally lasts until night. The nights are 'very cool, and over- coats are in good demand all year round. In fact the climate ' is the greatest attraction, for by virtue of it many, invalids have been restored to health, for it is a- medicine to- the afflicted, a tonic to the robust, and,a certain rejuvenator of the old. Last winter however the country was visited by a terrible wind storm, known here as a norther, which did a great deal of damage to both fruit and trees.' The sand • was drifting with . such force as to penetrate the leaves and fruit of young trees, especially on the north side, thereby destroying the loaves and rendering the fruit un- eatable. It is estimated that nine tenths of the fruit Was damaged by frost and send storms but this does not occur often, afloat once' in five years so Californians say. The principal industries are ' the • raising of citrons and deciiiious fruit, The important fruits being oranges ;1U(1 lemons, for which Ontario is ( Specially , noted, here lemons won tlr,it prize ^t the \\'orl(t'S 'Bair at the New Orlon. ,s Fspnsit i(itl, �r,nle of the other principal fruits are apricot, peach, prune, grape, fig, and some 1apples in the higher mountain. valleys. hpre is something ,facinating about' an orange grove to the eastern tender ()of, but in time it wears off and he tvunl i exchange an orange for a good Canadian apple wittiottt the least tr''si_tTation.

In the city of Los Angelos, population 65,000, I s, asked to be shown their maufacturing. establishments. The request being granted we visited the northerh `part r, of the town, where a plaining factory ✓ not as large as the onein Lucknow, was n in full blast, that. constituted their d industries in that line. The people e wledge they are behind in • that e respect, but hope for better in the' e' futureackno. n The population is a mixed nFtion- e ality in every sense of the term, vine s dressers from southern Europe, miners f from Great Britain, swarthy Meaicans, 11 halfl)reeds, and native noble red men, - Mongolians, native Californians and e eastern capitalists of all classes. All e creeds are represented, the Methodists e being the strongest body in this - section. But a large number of Califo. iians in fact I may say she majority are carless as regards religion and -they -generally work sece'i days in the week and a few more if there was a possibility of getting them in. 'their educational system is an e::cel- lent one, their standard being the highest in the country: Their school houses are' the very picture of neat-• ness and add very much to the attraction 02 the count•'y. Their. teachers are nearly. all Normal g"rd- uates,rand salaries rams from $50 to $100 per month, nine months teaching in the year. The school houses and colleges were built by the founder 'as an inducement for settlers.. . Now as regard.a pinr•e for perm- anent c•ettlement.

Dh r. Murdock thanked the meeting for the Honor conferred on. him, and called on b1 r. Bowering to give an address. The subject:of which was "Christ the S. S. teacher's model". He spoke of the imnortance of.sowing seed without chaff,; -.of selecting. a few points ; of studying the character of the scholar s and winning their adT'ectious and not to trust too much to helps and never be discouraged. i11 r. Day 'spoke on. "Chid nature" : its characteristic and claims.
