During the early hours a the morn- ing, Mrs. Parkinson reeved her hus- band, and upen his failing to return in due course she aroused her son Wesley Parkinson, about 2 o'clock, to seek the cause. Every conceivable spot was searched, without success, .and bet:timing anxious about him a general alarm was given. That day the whole community was formed into a searching; party and the neighborbood for miles a,roaud, thor- mighty searched, even the rivers being dragged. The searching has been con- tinued in a broadened territory, and although getting. on the trail of sev- eral persons on foot, travelling through the country, each case has proved the identity of someone other than the missing man.

Accordin g to the s nperintendent's an- nounceinent the Farmers' Institute system in the Province of Ontario is now 11 yeers old. The lst, meetings were held 18.35. Since then the annual growth has been remarkable. In 1805 six hundred and sixty six meetings .were held, and, many regnests for as- sistance for the holding of other meet- ings were received which could not be granted. We are accomplishing, says the su- perintendent, a greater work at less cost per m.eetieg than any other pro- vince or state in Ameriea. The local officers, as a body,are to be emigre- tulated on the efficiency of their works and I extend to themeny hearty than k - for the very enthasiaetic support and assistance I have received from them. without which the work now accomp- lished could not have been done. It is the policy of the department to send only two speakers on a, deputat- ion, and. in some cases only one, but it , hes been found necessary to transgress I this rule in several instauces this seas sou. First, because some of the divi- sions are very large, and for this rea. son the work is too heavy for two men. Second, because, ia some instances, several institutes in it division have asked for speakers on speeial subjects, and. it has been thought wise to grant their request. Third, because it was deemed best, in some instances, to in- troduce speakers on speeial topics, and thus awaken an interest in a sub- ject where little or none now exists. Many farmers look upon each de- legate as a professor of the OntarioA.ge ricultural College, or a representative of the Government. This is a mistake, and one that should be corrected. Only those who are . teachers in the Ontario Agricultural College and who go out on institute work (ten in all) are in any sense representatives of the department andthe college. The others are prectical and successfal farmers and althoughthey are prudent, capable and worthy men, the department or the college is in no way responsible for their statements, nor are they re- sponsible in auy sense for the acts of either the college or the department. The very low price of farm produce leads us to believe that never before was earnest study of the best methods so necessary- as now. The institutes are conducted by practical farmers up- on practical lines, All should attend and add their mite to the general fund of information. In Division No. 2, the deputation is H. L. Hutt, B.
