amidst cheers, that Mr. F. himself, as

cost of immigration, last year, WAS meeh
reduced, the least since 1871. ,That in
187.8 there were 85 travelling agents in

stead of costing $27.60 for eta immi-
grant; it had Only cost $9.70. He explain --

that the Opposition leader,: Dr, Tupper,

WIrbrit Crop.,
The Ararat British 21griqulturi1-t says:
—A. finer blooming season for the wheat
crop that that of 1878 is not on record.
Sunshine haS been abundant, •the tem-
perature high, and rain fall almost nil.
:Wheat will, therefore, not only be the
best of the cereal' crops, but promises
tlie best yield since 1870. The quanti-
ty should be a full average, and the
quality, with ordinary hinwest weather,
is likely to be of the choicest desekiption.
Wheat will 'bo comparatively early
ready•for the reaper, which augurs well
for the crop. in some of the earlier
districts of England many fields are all
hut ripe, while in the Lothians and
other early counties the reaper has'
every appearance of being in full swing I
in wheat fields by the seeond or third
week of August.
