PROFIT SOMEWHERE.— Farming, as generally conaucted, may not pay very handsome returns, but we know a farmer in the township of Hullett, who last year cleared $4000. He did it in horseflesh and cattle, and is known as one of the best as well as one of the most enterprising farmers in the county of Huron. We with-- lid:Ill his name, but our readers can easily guesstit if they try. Cours.—This township has long been noted as the hunting grounds of American horse buyers, and if we are to judge by the colts to be seen this season it will not soon lose its repute - tion, Among others are two owned by Mr John Brickenden,one by John Autterson and one by G. Noble, all -sired by Kennelwortb, and two by Boreland Chief,one owned by Walter Haines, tho other by Frank Kitty, which might challenge the county. .
