New that winter is drawing on and the evenings are becoming long, we would °desire to imprees , upon otir agricuIturel readers the desira- bility of establishing regular weekly or semi-monthly meetings for men- tal improvement, We do not make this sugge.stion becauee we think that the farming community reqraire men- tal Culture more than their neighbors of the towns and villages, but be- eause we know, that heretofore they have, as a rule, been more backward in giving attention to these matters. It is a fact that a vory large majority of those in the rural districis do not give sufficient attention to the culti- vation and improvement of their ment7a1 faculties. Many are too apt to think that if they have a thorough knowledge of the points neeesaary in a good animal, and understand the routine of farm labor, they have acquired all the knowledge which it is necessary for them to possess.. This is a great mistake. Knowledge of this description is certainly most useful, and to be a successful farmer, at man, must have a thorough know- Iedge-of such things. Bnt he is cap- able of going mach further than this. There are just as btight intel- lect& in the rural districts as there are in the towns and cities, and all that is wanted to make them shine forth brilliantly is proper cultivation. There is, perhaps, n't) Class Of the -community, which, during the win- ter months, has as much leisure time as the farmer. His work - -during certain seasons of the year is Iteavy-artd laborious, and it is for- tunate. that there- is a eeon when he' cute, to a considerable degree, rest from his tabors. If - the stress -upon the body were as great during all seasons of. the year, ,as during snort:11er, the system would give 3 way under the strain. But such is not the case. His seesons of labor have been 80 organized by nature's laws, that there comes a term of se- vere toil, to be followed by a season -of rest. In order the more- thorough- ly to enjoy this smsen of rest,.and make it profitable aliketo body, and mind, a portionofthe time .at least should be employed in meatal im- s. provemena If the body is over -ex- ercised to the neglect of the mind, the latter is apt to become waiped and imbecile. If a pereon who is - devoted. to -study, or other mental ,employ meat, sits still from year's end to year's end, and neglects to give the body that exercise which it requires to mainteiri it in a healthy .00adietere it will become stunted, feeble and incapacitated to perform its proper functions. Just so with the mind. It is, then, the duty of -every man to give his mental facule ties that degree of exeroise that will keep them in a healthy condition.. It is frequently the case with those -engaged in agricultural pursuits that they exercise the body too much and - the mind too little. In order} to 1, overcome this evil, we would adaise the establishment througeout the .• County of Farmers' Clubs. One might be organized in each school section. The Meeting might be held, as we have before stated, weekly, or .serui-monthly. At these meetings friendly discusiotis on an appointed *object should be engaged in. The :subject for idiscussion ehould be - -chosen some time previous to the meeting, so that each could have an opportunity of thinking on it. and . preparing himself to give his views. -on the subject intelligently. . The -subjects chosen might be either agri- cultural or otherwise. But ell s ould engage in them. There :is t no person with a mind at all but must have his own views on certain -subjects. The great difficulty is in • giving 'expression to these views. Facility in the expression of one's -opinions can only be attained by study and pracLice. There are- few born orators. The gift of oratory to a very great extent, is acquired through practice, rind there is not a t farmer or business man in the County who, if properly trained, who could • not get up in a.,public meeting and .give utterance to his views. The benefits which would accrue from propetly -conducted meetings of this kin" (I are inestimable. A vast etmount of practical information and .experience would be gained from -each other. The regular routine of life would be varied, and the man • invigorated to et surprising degree. His labors .would be lightened, and he would have the •satisfaction of knowing that in benefiting himself, he was benefiting ethers. The mind wouldboconie enlarged, the intellect strengthened, and the members of these clubs, byooestaut practice, would gein_confiderece in themselves as feriae speakers, thus enablin them more tteMvely to take part in the public -affairs of their municipal- ities. If club a snob as these were established in each school Feetion, at our Township, Agricultural andothe a public meetings, instead of there. not _being more than one or two to take part oin the discussion, there wculd undoubtedly be one or two dozen. As every' intelligent person -has ideas of his own on various eub- jects, which, if ite could butgive ex- pression to, wohld be of benefit to his fellows, but because he is unable to publicly express w,hat he feels, these views, no matter how useful, are lost. If peiaons of this kind • were to associate themselves with a club etioh as we have mentioned, and at aria of its 'meetings accustom themselves to gie utterance to their viewe, they would be in a position to benefit, not the members of their club alone, -but, at such 'meetings as we have mend° ect, a much larger circle. Wherea, if this club had notobeen in exis1ence, the person im- parting the information would be unable to do so, and the public would be the losers. We have thus, shown that, in al- most every sen'se, the forthation of farmers' clubs would reault in benefit not only to the +wirers thereof, but to many °therm. If we had mere such clubs as these 7 we would have more farmers. aed fewer lawyers as Parliamentary representatives, and we believe the country 'would be much the richer. We trust, then, that during the doming winter many of these clubs will .be formed in the County of Huron, and that both old and young, richl and poor, may be found • enrolled On the membership lista." If thi bot4one, the good 're- sults will speedily make themselves apparent. There is no earthly reason why farmers andi their sons should not come forw rd and hold as prominent positi ns in the commun- . ity as others, many of whom are, were. it .not for their training, much less competent to fill such positioes. That they do not do thie, is attribut- ed to their own backwa-rdness, and lack of training. ' Reciprocity. , It is evident that the. Americans are now becornnig pretty sick of the Chines -e wall" which they have built up between their country and Canada, mainly to gratify a littlenatiOnl spite. They are now begin - tilt' to see that Clenada is not so de- pendent upon thein as they thought They have learned .that we- can Hy to a very great exent independently of them, and th19- for our products we can gain access to other markets They have learned that by their sel fish policy they have injured their Own treat) and commerce, and have calmed us but .entporttry inoon- venience. They find also that un- der their system of rigid. protection huge monopolies have sprung up in their midst, whicle are growing fat at the expense of 'the country at large. The fact is, the Americans require our produ4s, and they are now beginning to realize that the cheeper they an get then] the better it will be for themselves. There is therefore, a feeling, which is rapidly growing, and b-ecanning more general ainongethe Anierican people in favor of liberal trade 're- lations between that oountrv and Oil. This feeling was made' very. evident at the recent meeting in New York of the National Board of Trade. Prominent ruemhers of that body unhesitatingly declared that liberal trade relations between the two countries was almost at neceesity for then. In fact cne New England manufacturer asserted that with cheap raw material, the manufacturers of the New England Staters were no afraid to compete with the whole world.- When we hear men of this stamp give expres- sien to sentiments such as these, we have good grounds to hope that the good sense of our AmericaLeigh- bors will very soon l overcothe their prejudices. At the meeting- of the National Board above referred to, the following resolutions were pass- ed al-nroet tinaninrously Whereas, -It has been represented to us by th,o delegates from the Board of Trade of the Dominion of Canada that, in their opinion, the people and Govern- . reent of Canada would cheerfully assent to 0, Reciprocal Treaty of trade that would be muttally advantageous to their country and mtr own by -the - free inter- change of necessary commodities, and the 'cheapening -of the transportation of grain and other exports to the seaboard;'and "Whereas, It is the .daty of the Naticaie al Board of Trade to exert it legitimate influence in promoting ell measures cal- culated to increase the trade of the coun- try and its industrial and commercial prosperity; "Therefore, .Be it resolved, that the Executive Council be instructed to mem- orialize Congrees to make an appropria- tion for the appoint ent of a commission to act in conjunction with the State De- partment in negotia ing a treaty with tIte Dominion of Canada, on a broad, cora- , priehensive and liberal basis, which shell also include the enlatgement of the Ca- nadian canals by the Government of Ce - nada and the right o American -vessels •to navigate the said canals canals under the .same conditions as ate imposed upon Csuadian vessels." - If the United States Governinent . should comply with the request con- taiued in the above resolution, and appoint a •commission, we have no do,ubt but the people of Canada will be prepared to deal fairly and gen- erously i with them. I Although we can get along very comfortably with- out another Reciprocity Treaty, yet we de not shut oer yes to the fact that we Would probably get along a great deal better, with one. But, although we are mOst desirous to see free, trade relations exist between this country and the United States, we are not prepared t� make any. great concessions to secure that boon. There is not the least doubt that /such a treaty wculd- be equally 'bdvantageous to the Americans as to ourselvea. A very large number of them are now becoming alive to this feet. As moon, therefore, as this rapidly growing,elernent be- comes sufficiently powerful to bring to bear ou Congrees a greater pres- sure than can be bronght to bear on I it by the monopolists who are thriv- ing by protection, we will get. fair and reasonable terms. To endeavor ,to hasten this time ' by offering tor- e rea.sonalble-inducem tits, wtruld he madneele woul,:only humiliate ourselives in the eyea of our rivals, .and Would do us no Rood. The battle has to be fought on the °thee side, by those w o are making money through, pro tion and those ,who are losing. -Th latter, although 'perhaps not beoomi g more. nutter- ous, are &lily beco sr ing more deter- mined, and are co rstantly puttingt forth increased exert:ons to gain their point. They are gra t tudly, and we be- lieve speedily gaini Ig strength, and .we will have to wai but a short tittle 'untie they become die more power- ful of the two. ' hen thitt comes about, we will obtain a liberal, Re- procity Treaty, and riot till then. • THE SALES of thcrough bred stock which took place on the farms of Hon. David Christie and Hon. George Brown, in. the County of Brant, on Wednesdty and Thursday of last week, were very successful, At the sale of the formerthere were a number of 'prominent American buyers, who purchased most of the best animals at 'high plices. The highest price paid at this sale for a cow was $675, and the highest piice paid for any nnicual was $1.235, paid by Hon. Samuel Campbell, of New York- Mills, New York, for imported Knight of St. .George, a • Booth bulL - The buyers at Mr. C Brown's sale were v ineipally Caua- aud the stack offered was -rather inferior to t rat sold at Mr. Christie's eale but notwithstanding • this, largo prima werei realized. - Mr. M: McTaggart, of °Hinton, pnr- J chased abzill calf, eight months old for .$220, and a heifer, sixteen _months old,- for $310. There were also .a number of v ry fine Berk: shire pigs sold. The highest price realized for these was $52. --t - WE NOTIQE that Ehe Cornicill or the village of Clietoa have decided to submit, for the approval of the ratepayers, a By-law, granting an additional bonus of q10,000 to the London: !Cron and laterce Railway. The vote on the By-law will be taken on. Friday, the 8th of November. Tis action of the ouncil is evi- d fitly 'intended as a bait to induce tIie Great Western a il way Corn- peny to endorse the choice of the London Board. It ill not, how - e er, have the desired -effect, and our atlnhitious neighbors ill have their pzUns for their troub e. _Although the Council of Ciinto firaee be fool- ish and recklese enon h to put their rutinicipality to. the e Tense, of car - re mg a By-law before hey have any certain knowledge that their assisc- anoej will be required, there are not many other muficipalities along the route will do so. The $10,000, then, offered by Clinton will not be a very tern pting. bait.

The Reformer* of the neighboring County of Huron got up a magnificent political demonstration in the Driving Park, Seaforth, on Wednesday. the 16tn inst., the purpose being to celebrate the victories achieved at -last election in Huron and Perth. The town was gaily decorated with archeseliags'&c. At the station the street was spanned by the in- scriptions,-." Huron and Perth welcome Canada's future rulers." " A pure Elec- tion Lew, and Vote by Ballot.' Furth- er on in the route was an arch, on which was emblazoned "God Save the Queen." The Day of Days" surmounted the entrance to the Driving Park. And " We want no Jobbers or Railway Con- tractors in Parliament" was inscribed in front of the platform erected for the speakers and the' band. Early in the afternoon, a procession promeded to the ground, headed by the splendid band from Stratford of the Grand Trunk Rail- teay. • * • * From tht Huron Signal, Oct. 23.

Wheat seems to have a slightly downward tendency. Coarse grains remains about as Leta week.' For the past week there has not been a great deal of grain brought forward. The weathei has been fine, and farmer v have been taking advantage of it to gets their roots up and other fall work done.

WIDNESDAY., Oct. 22, 187/ Houses. -The city, trade in horses during the week remained nmcla the ;same as for the last three weeks. There lies been tk uniformly active demand for all kuids f business; horses at pretty fir6 figure's, while the universele, cern- plaint about dullness in the market for higher priced stock continued. • The al- most entire absence of all demand for fine and, valuable lames was once mere attributed to the atringency in the inoney market, and the' predominant political agitation. The following are the average prices realized in the Bull's Head Mar- ket for work horses- of different descrip- Railroad and stage horses, from $150 fo $175, per 'head. Canadian farm horses, freers $125' to $200, per head. Common Western draft horses, from $150 to $165 . per head. Heavy trnok horses, from $200 to $400, per Bead. BERVB8.-The market has been 'dull and weak for inferior and ordinary grades for several days, and the several oar loads held over from day to -day very plainly indicate that the prices offered did not cover the cost. Smooth, fat steers 'have had a ready sale, but none have been good taloa& to command the hi,ghfigures receutly ,reeeived. The extreme range of reported sales to -day was 9 to 14c. for native steers, and 71 to 10o. for Texans the bulk ef the native cattle selling at clout to llo. per lb, and nearly all of the Texans at n to 80. Nearly the same - number of Texans were offered this week as last, and having more quality in some of the droves, the prices ranged higher for the best. The packing of Texas cattle has been oommenced at Chicago and itt Kansas City, and from this tirae it lighter supply may be looked for here. Mteoet Cows. -T1aere has been scarce- ly any change in the features of the marketfor fresh cows. The receipts were 74 head, exclusive of a few that arrived with droves of beef cattle. Very goat` mon cows wet e sold at $30 to $40, scarcely 'more than common dry cows, and fair to goo(' were taken at $50 to $70, calves in- cluded. Sales to -day were 4 good cows at $72 50 per head; .1 fancy cow and calf for $100, -and 1 common to choice at $35 to'$75. • '1" SHEEP A.ND LAMBS, -,--The slight ad- vance in prices during the early • part of last week stimulated shipments, and for - the last three market days :the aupply has been more than the demand called. for.
