Mr. Tindall, will give his views on the" Seccond Advent," next Sabbath Evening, in the Weslyean Church, Leecheville, commencing at 7.30 o'clock. Haying has commenced in this sec- tion; but the unsettled state of the weather, makes it difficult to save it in good order. The crops will•be good. Considerable complaint is heard about the midge in the wheat, and with some farmers. Late Fall Wheat seems to suffer the most. Mr. John Leech intends starting a Cheese factory in Leechville, should he succeed in, getting enough milk from the farmers to warrant him doing so. Ile is now canvassing, and should it prove favorable, he will at once proceed with the ouilding, and be ready for op- erations in the Spring.
