ITSBORNE.• LUMLEY DEBATIA({ SOCIETY. —There was an otherchallenge debate between this club and the Cromarty club, on Friday, 22nd July, and with about the same result as before. There were to have been five speakers on each side, but the Cromarty club could muster only four men, se there were five against four. The Lumley club said. the ehallenge was for five against five, and was not fair fiu the Cromarty club to send only four, because for five to defeat four would be no honour, but to be defeatecl would be a great dis- grace, and if the Cromarty club felt they were not able to send five they should -not have. ac- cepted the challenge at all. However; it made little difference, as the chairman for some reason did not come, and as the 3L could not- just then choose another to please oth parties, there was another debate without a decision. Mr. Bishop and Mr. Hamilton were appointed to keep order, and watch the time ; and we believe both parties went away fully satisfied that if the chairman had been present their side would -have been pronounc- ed victorious. • At the last meeting of the Lum- ley club, a proposal to close the debates till after harvest was carried. The next meeting is to be on Sept. 14th, and the subject for debate is solved that the hope of reward is a greater incen- tive to action than the fear of punishment." WA-IFs---Weather is hot, rainy, and electrical, Crops good, very good,- except fall wheat. Fruit la very good too, and if the"good All-Giverfav-ors us with at4icious harvest weather, and the buy- ers give a good price for produce the farmers will have ample reason to be satisfied with, and grate- ful for, their prosperity in 1870.-- We hear that Mr. Downie's people, who went to Minnesota in the spring, are coining back here again. They say 'it is a fool of a place to Canada. ' THE HURON EXPOSITORI BLTJEVALIE. •••••••••••••m.. B. B. Matrcir.-:-A match game of base baliwas played in Bluevale, on Iteriday last, between the "Britannia," of Bluevale, and "Shoo -Fly," of Wroxeter. The "Britannia" was beaten by 24 runs. This was the first match game the 'mem- bers of the "Britannia" ever played, therefore they could not be -expected to exhibit the tact and coolness of old established hands on such occasions, and not only that, but it is only about six iireeks since the American game was In or• in this Village, and duringthat time, short as it has been, a great mahy of the members have not been able t� attend- the regular practice, on account of the busy season of the year. But not- • withstanding these drawbacks, they handled themselves in such a way, as to show their op- ponents that ti; eyi only wanted a little more prac- tice, to be ableto present themselves before any club in the County; and not bring home a bad re- cord. The long -fielding done by Dr. Scott. and P. Diamond, commanded the admiration of all. Mr. Gee, Ross, Ainleyville, acted as umpire, and his gentlemanly bearing, prompt, and impartial deeisions, won for him the respect of all parties. DRYSDALHVILLM Mn.

OM CII*ESE Fiveron.Y.—The manufacture of cheese, so long neglected by Canadians, has within the last two years, become one of the most iinportaut and remunerative branches of industry in connec- tion with agriculture. The present high price of milch cows, both for home and exportation, is mainly attributable to the development of this branch of industry. A good cow, which only a few years ago would bring but $20, cannot now be purchased much short of $40, while superior animals in this section have been bought at $50 and $69. Even these figures have been refused by owners of superior cows in this neighbourhood. A cow, if well kept. in. the vicinity of a cheese factory. will yield her price in one season of six or seven months. A gdod cow will yield from 600 to 700 gallons of milk in a season. It will easily be seen from this that the sum of $40 or $50 !nay be' realized from the cow- in a single sea. - son, which, consicleiing the cheap nature of her keeping, may safely b9 reckoned at nearlyclear profit. The ingredients of milk vary according to the food which the cow receives, her age,, etc. From analysis of ordinary cow -milk in a fresh state, the following statemet of the composition in 1000 parts has been deduced : Casien (or cheese matter) 48.20; Butter, 30.00 ; Sugar, 43.90 • Salt, 4.90; Water, 973.00. Among some of the 'Tartar tribes a preparation somewhat akin to our malt spirits is made from milk. A part of the. milk sugar is converted into grade -sugar, which in turn is c nverted into alcohol. • The i Ainleyville cheese f, tory is situated about a mile from the villag , and was erected last May by Mr. John Lecki of this place. Several at- , tempts to start a factory on the co-operative principle, having proved abortive, Mr. Leckie purchased fifty acres of land adjoining the village, took the matter in hand, and with his usual en- ergy, soon pushed the building to completion. Manufacturing cheese was commenced -about the atter part of May, and up to this date, about - 0,000 pounds of cheese have been Made. To ny one who has not seen the cheese factory, I mild say go and see it. The process is simple et so rapid. a.nd novel, that a few hours spent in he factory will prove sufficiently interesting to epay them for the walk. The factory under no. ice is a frame building 60 feet in length, and 26 eet wide, and, is clivided by a partition iiato two partments. the factory -proper and the drying oom. The milk is supplied by about fifty con- butors ; the quantity supplied by each is rought iii<a, separate can. labelled with the name the owner. The proprietor (Mr. Leckie) sends s waggons along the several routes morningand rating to receive the milk as it is taken from e cows. Each can as it arrives at the faictory-, eniptied into the receiver, and duly weighed, account of the quantity supplied by each be- g carefully kept. The milk next passes into e vat, which has al capacity of 500 gallons, and as made by Mr. Buchannon. of Ingersoll. As on as the cans have all been brought in and ptied, the heat is turned on till the milk has a,ched a temperature of 85°. The heat is then rned off, and a quantity or rennet is supplied hasten coajntation, or the separation of the rcls from thewhey: This process usually oc- pies about three quarters of an hour. The rds now have the appearance of a large mass.of ite pulp floating about in a bluish white liquid. e curd is next cut. For this purpose a -knife many blades, set in a frame, is used. • This ife is drawn lengthwise and across, until the d is cut into small pieces. It is now let stand about a quarter of an hour, when the heat gain turned On, and the temperature raised to °. At this stage the cheese -maker turns it by d, and the particles are kept in constant agi- on for about an hour, the heat being shut off, as soon as the acid is detected, the whey is off by means of a tap at the end of the vat, is conveyed by a wooden reservoir.to the yard, in which we counted about forty fine 1 2 a w a • tr of hi es th is an in th 80 em re tu to cu cu: 011 Th of cur for is a 100 han tati and let and ig- p‘i in, delivered by : MeDermid, of McKillop, from II.

The average stipend of their Minis- ters in Canada was less than $700, while in the Huron Presbytery it was less than $600: He thought this was ill pay for the exhausting labors of the- minister, especially in new sections of the country. In the present age, the church had high duties to perform, and heavy responsibilities resting upon it. It was pre-eminently an intel- ligent age ; the Common School created a taste for literature, and the Press was Calculated to supply the demand, and it was a matter for re- gret, that through the leading literature of the day, there ran such a general vein of infidelity. It was the especial office.of the church, while it en(hmiaged learning, to guard against the _intro- lnetion of these fatal principles. • The Doctor- eoncluded his address with some eloquent re - narks on the mutual fidelity that should exist between pastor and people.

H. Ag Society, in the acti that was 'taken in comiection with the late Hui Farmers' Association, as asserted by Mr. Robe MeMordie. After the afore mentioned. delegation, viz. Messrs. McMordie and Anderson had -stated the case to the Directors of the S. If Ag. Society, a meeting of the Board held in Brucefield on th y, ay of April, A. D. 1868, an informal con- lY • versation took place amongst the members. as to e what was best to be done underthe circumstanc- n- es. 'rhe general opinion -was to accept of the of - s• fer in its entirity, as made by the said delegates. S, but strong ground was taken by some of the lead-, e, ing members of the Board, that as they were dealing. with an association unknown to the law, r. and therefore would' not be binding upon their o successors in office, if they boundthe Soeiety be- n Yond the present year, their safest action was to e accept of the funds, have Reaping and Mowing - Matches for that Year, agreeable to the -Wishes of f the delegation, and leave to future Boards of Di- n rectors to regulate the matter,1 nnually, as they might think fit and proper. s arrangement - v. as unanimously agreed to b the Board, and e the followine- two resolutions were immediately f moved, secoZded.and carried unanimously, and they are the only minutes that were thought nee- 'cessary to be taken, viz. : " That in order to en- courage the improvement of agripultural machin- ery, this society hold a Mowing Match and a Reaping Match during the current year—said matches to take place as near the Village of Kip - pen as practicable ;" and again, " That Messrs. Geo. Sproat, Geo. Anderson, and Wm. Wilson. be a Committee to ca,rry out said' matches." I have a few notes of the said informal conversa- tion, and I think. I have only to call Upon James Dickson, Esq, who was then President, Dr. cole- man, of Seaforth; who was then a member of the Board, or the present Treasurer, Mr. E. Cress- well, or any other of the Directors at that time, whose memory serves them, to get ample sub- stantiation of the correctness of whati have stat- ed. But further under this head, to show the utter impossibility of the Secretary making wrong entries, either intentional or otherwise : The minutes of the said meeting, Were read again at the opening of the next meeting --they were read and signed by the President---noicorrectiions, no alterations, I am proud to be able to saSr, were made either of those minutes, or of any other minutes since I was Secretary of the S. II. Ag. Society. I will now leave that public, which. Mr. McMorclie appealed to, to judge of the truth of his assertion, "that a mistake had been made in recording. So much for me as Secretary of the S Ag. Society. As a member of the late Huron- -Farmers Association, I went strong for the amalganaation, believing that one organiza- tion of -the kind was quite sufficient , preferring the legally organized one. ofcourse evenalthough Mr. McMordie, does not underst'and what that means. I am satisfied vvith the change, and will vote against the resurrection of the old one, if q on. may be established, it will be necessary for him to, prove that his years number six score and ten, in order to shield him- self from being proven a deceiver 'and imposter. —ED.

He, however, remarked it was a mat- ter upon which the Seaforth congregation might well be congratulated, that while it was the youngest in the Huron Presbytery, it had pro- vide& the most liberal stipend for its minister. He had chosen for the subject of his address, "War." He declared his principles in aimost emphatic and clear manner, and it is certainly much to be regretted that time did not permit his proceeding to discuss so opportune a question.
