EDITORIAL NOTES.
`IAE Conservative Government of New
Brunswick was defeated on a want of con-
fidence motion en Monday, by a vote of
22 to 18.
Tx, assertion is made that two Irish
members of the English parliament are
directly concerned in the plot to murder'
officials. Quite likely, People are pre-
pared now to believe almost anything re-
lating to the sons of "unhappy Ireland "

GRANGE StrppER.—If there is one thing
more than another that characterizes farm-
ers, it is their hospitality 'and the enthu-
siasm with which they enter into any-
thing pertaining to the nature of a social
gathering, as those ..who participated
therein can testify. On Monday evening
the members of Hullett Grange, of which.
Mr. W. H. Weymouth is Worthy Master,
and . James Snell, Secretary, observed
their anniversary oYeter supper, in
the Temperance Hall, Londesboro. After
the large number present had satisfied
Their inner wants froin the abundance of
good things provided, Mr. Weymouth
took the chair and made a few brief re-
marks. Messr?;.'"John Cumings, John
Sprung,' and. John Mason,. Reeve, also
made short addresses. The speaker of
the evening was Mr. Robinson, of Elgin,
Provincial Master of the. Ontario Grange,
who went at length into the abuees and
grievances of tbe farmer, denouncing the
various monopolies thatt ea'ist amongst
manufacturers, speaking in the most com-
mendatory manner of the Agricultural:
College, and the facilities it afforded f'arin
ers ; impressed upon those present the nes
cessity of a thorough education in practi=
cal and scientific farming, and interspersed
his speech with a number of very pointed
anecdotes, that helped to fasten his advice:
on h?s hearers.; He was followed in a
short speech by R. Holmes, The choir

dears large.

could be meted out to him ; it would not

The number of defalcations and breaches
of trust reported almost daily, reveal an
alariningly rotten state of society. In-
stead of' people becoming better as- they
row old, they appear to• reverse the rule,
