The Agricultural Dinner, held Thurs- day January 26th in the British Ex- change hotel, under the auspices of the West Riding of Huron Agrrcultral So- ciety, was attended by over eighty per sons, The commodious dining room of the British had been newly papered. and the pretty panelling and handsome Japanese dadoes were admired by all who had a taste for the beautiful. The spread was • really excellent one, and bore out the reputation of Capt. Cox as a first-olass caterer. The moot mu as follows: - RAW OYSTIR4. SOUP. Oyster. INTsssn.

Among the company was a number of representative farmers of the County. and the addresses relating to agriculture were well listened to and frequently ap- plauded. The speeches of Messrs. Weld. McMillan, Currie and Registrar Dickson were full of good suggestions for the thoughtful farmer. TOAS'RN AND !Millen es. The first toast was "The Queen," in response to which A. L. Gibson, Reeve of Wroxeter, led off la the signing of the national anthem. "The Governor General,""`He's a jolly gond fellow." "The President of the United States," drew a reply from Major Crane, who opened the subject of "Agriculture," by an original and atnusing aneodote. "The Army and Navy" was next giv- en, with the names of several members of the force. In reply Col. Ross, M. P. P., said the volun- teers of Canada were actuated by the same spirit as actuated the army and navy to stand up for England; not agrossive, but defensive. On behalf of the militia in this section, he thanked the county representatives for their liberality to the Huron volunteers. (Cheers.) Lieut. Joe Beck said that the volun- teers of Canada had bean tried and found true, and called upon Quarter- master Strachan to speak in reply to the toast. Mr. Strachan briefly excused hunself from making a speech. The tout of the "County Council," came next, coupled with the name of the Worden. Mr. Johnston was pleased to be able to speak in behalf of so useful and intel ligent a body as the Huron County Council. He had been a member of it for five yuan, and ho considered it a necessary institution. The Reeve of Grey at ono time pointed out that it cost but 5 Dents a head of the population to support the County Council. The As- sembly had on several occasions sent its proposed legislation to the County Council to get the mind of the intelli Fent men who represented the townships in that body. The Wardenship was a proud position to occupy, and unless he had done well ho would not hare got it. He trusted that he would do nothing to reflect discredit on the position.
