An. other speech was made by Mr. John Landesborough, on the Preparation for the Duties of 'Life." He said that it is necessary for all young men to choose some vocation in life, and. then follow it, and keep from roving.

He said some of our legislators should be between a pair - of plow -handles, some farmers should be doctors, and some are well fitted to be our lawgivers.

Gibson, Wroxeter, Agent for the Ba- ron:on Newspaper and Job Printing Office.] IN PASSING- THROUGH the township of Howick, one is aareeably surprised to see the progress that has been made . within the last few years in improved farms, good roads a.n.d thriving villages. This township has the largest population of any in the -County, it being the only one that is representecl in the County Council by two Deputy Reeves.Wrox- der, and. Gortie are the principal vil- lages Wroxeter is a thriving place of about seven hundred inhabitants, situat- ed. on the banks of the Maitland River. 'The surrounding country is now all set- tled, and the dense forests, which a fewl years ago covered this part\of the coun- try, are giving place to well -cleared and well -tilled farms, and the pi•imitive log shanties and barns are gradually being superseded by buildings of a better and, niore substantial character. The village of Wroxeter possesses peculiar advan- tages as a market for produce, being sit- uated on an angle formed by the Toron- to, Grey and Bruce Railway, where it turns northward to Teeswater, thus leaving Wroxeter the point to which the trade of the country south and .west must naturally come. The railway is expected to be finished and in running order next fall, when the increased fam- lities for transportation may be expected. to give a considerable impetus • to trade, There le a probability of . hav- ing the Station on the B Line, • as by doing so the Company would. not need to • purchase a road to it The Maitland River here furnishes good water-powei7which has been taken ad- vantage of for flouring and manufactur- ing purposes. The large flour and grist mill, rented by the Messrs. Clark, turns out on an average of forty barrels of, flour per day, and is capable of doing Lakelet. about double that amount, besides sup- plying a large custom business. Thete SCHOOL EXHTEITION. -A union is also a cabinet factory, a woolen and carding mill, a sash and door factory and planing mill and a saw mil all supplied with water power. Within the last year a large machine shop, driven by steam power, and famished with first-class ma- chinery, has been erected by Mr. Frater, an experienced ancl practical machinist. There is also another sash and noor fac- tory and planing mill in course of erec- tion. A tannery his also been in operm tion a number of years, so there is trite a nucleus for the formation of a thriving town. Parties looking out for an eligible business site would do well to pay Wrexeter a visit-VIATOR. SOIREE. -A soiree was held in- the Congregational Church, Gemmill's Cor- ners, onThursday evening, March 13. The church. WaS well filled, and. the audience, after discussing the good things provid- ed for them, spent a pleasant evening in listening to the remarks of the several speakers. Rev. Mr. Minh, from Lis- towel, delivered the first address, his subject was "Peace with God," He seemed to be well fitted to impiess an audience with the importance ofhissub- ject. His strong Provincial accent gave eviddice that he was not long from his native Devonshire. Rev. Mr. Macken- zie, the reepected pastor Of the New Connection Methodist Church, Gorriee was the next speaker. His subject was "Things are not as they were." Among the various illustrations he brought for- ward, was one in which seemed to dem- onstrate that modern builders had lost part of their art, as the ancients had placed larger stones in more elevated position than their modern brethern were able to do. Rev. Mr. Brown, of Wroxe- ter was next, and gave a humorous and instructive address, though he seem- ed rather unfavorable to tea meetings as a means of raising funds for religious purposes. The last. speaker, Rev. Mr. Barker, from New Brunswick, spoke on the a Reminiscences, of .the past," and. took occasion to say that he was afraid that infidelity was more prevalent among_ the young than was generally thought. Mr. Barker also gave some interesting details of the progress of the temperanca cause in New Brunswick. ENT MP RISE. -Messrs. Gibson, Black & Moffat, of this place, are about to start a stave factory here. As this is a new branch of industry in this part we wish them every success. EaCetiala - aSPRING $xow.-The Spring Show of the Stephen -and lisborne Branch Agri- cultural Society will be held at Exeter, on Friday, the 1.8th of April. Liberal premiums are offered for both horses and bulls, and it is expected that the • show will be even more successful tban any which has preceded it, _ _ CONCERT. -A concert was held in the. Orange Hall, Exeter, on Monday even- ing, 10th inst., under -the management of the Sons Of Temperance. At almut 8 o'clock -it was opened with singing from the choir, after which Dr. II. B. Winans. was called to the chair. Mr.- Charles_ Senior was the first on the proeTamine. and gave a reading in very good style. I Also Miss Victoria Bissett read a. choice selection of a temperance character, and did. it ample justioe. Then were two recitations, one by Mr. Seamed Madge, of Exeter. and the other by Mr. Gordon ,McLeod, both were well received. Rev. Mr, Lulea. Wesleyan al etliodist Minister, and -Rev. Mr. Grime, Presbyterian minister, were present, and toward the close gave very entertaining and approp- riate epeeches. kl'he exercises during the a evening were ,interspersed- 'With musie from the chcir, which had a very pleas- ! ism and, enliaenine effect. Miss M. A. Verity presided at c' the organ, which is I a handsome and very excellent instru- ment, owned by Mr. T. Fitton. The evening's entertainment -passed off in a Most agreeable manner, and left an im- nreseion upon the minds of many that then would like to have such -social . gatherings occurring more frequtntly. The proceeds were about $20. SOCIAL AND PRESENTATION. -A social took place in the Wesleyan Methodist •••••4 •44-4,44.4,44 bought of Mr. Cartier that part of his lot sohtle of the river containing about 70 acres, paying therefor $2,000. Walton.. - CHEESE FACTORY T- MEETING.- Olt Wednesday evening of last week, Mr. John Morrison, of the township of Me- Killop called a meeting of the neighbor. ing farmers at Ma Caarles Sage's hotel, to ascertain whether Or not they would - send the milk of their cows to his facto- ry, during the ensuing season, to have it manufactured into cheese. Mr, John McFadzean, of the township of Grey, being called to the chair, Mr. Morrison addressed the meetiug relative to the method he purposed pursuing in drawing the milkeemanufacturing it into cheese, and the sale of the cheese, &c. All ap- peared satisfied with Mr. Morrison's re- marks, but a few thought the distance to draw the milk was rather far. After some further discussion of the subject, the meeting came to a close, no one promising to support' the scheme. Stanley. BARNS UNROGEED.-04 the night of Saturday last a barn on the farm of Mr. Smith, Lot 25, Concession 3, Stanley, also a barn belonging to Mr. Stinson, on. the 2d Concession, each had half of the roof blown off by the severe wind storm which prevailed on that night. No fur- ther'damage was donein either instance. SURPR1SE.-We learn that the slinging class taught_ by Mr. M. Chem* at the house of Mr. John Tough on the Bron- son line, Stanley, during tie past winter had a very pleasant termination a few evenings ago. Upon Mr. Church arriv- ing* at the house in cjuestion on the last evening of the term, he was not a little -surprised to meet about sixty or seventy of the young people of the neighborhood who had met to entertain him. A very pleasant evening was spent .- Refresh- ments of the choicesrdescriptiou were provided in abuudamee. All preserit ex- pressed themselves highly pleased with the manner in which they had been taught by Mr: Church. The pleasant meeting was terminated by the passage of a unanimbus vote of thanks to Mr. Tough and family for their kindness in placing their house at the service of 'tlte class. Hay. PETTY TitErr.-On Friday night, 7th Mirch, some evil dispoted-peteou or per- sons entered the barn of Mr. Robert Car- lisle, Third Concession, Hay, and. took therefrom a quantity of timothy seed, which Mr. Carlisle had just cleaned that afternoon for market. Several of Mr. Carlisle's neighbors have also .had their barns entered., and articles stolen frona them. it is the practice of the thieves to leave the barn doors apen behind them, so that the cattle in the yard may have an opportunity to enter, and thus 'destroy the traces of the theft and pre- vent detectioo. It is said that the par- ties are pretty well known., and if their disreputable practices are not speedily discontinued, they will be exposed. , • Somer. AND Ll?,CT U RE. ---On Wednes- day evening, March la, a social took place in the school house at Ethel, under the auspices of Rev. Mr. Bodle, Bible Christian minister, and, judging- froVn the numbers present, the convivialiter and the pecuniary result, it was a de- cided saccess.

The children, accompanied by Miss Young on the organ, discoursed some very pleasant music to the audience: We must say_ that the children of both schools, as also the teachers, Mr. Young and Mr. Fergu- son, deserve great credit for the orderly way the proceedings were carried ou. Several gentlemen were called on and made a few remarks, among them was Mr. R. N. Matt, of Egmondville.

This 'Club is in a flourishing condition, its members number about 20, and hold its meetings with open doors. The Presi- dent called the club to order, when the following paper was read. by Mr. R. Stephenson: Subject-" What is the Best Method. of Prep,aring the Land for a Spring CropV' " 4 In introducing this subject it will be -well to briefly review the way in which we have farmed in the past, and in doing so I would observe, first, 20 years ago Hulleet -was nearly all bush, from 10 to 15 yearsisince the plow was introduced among green stumps; then the land cauld not be properly cultivat- ed.. In many cases it has been cropped - from that time until the present, without either summer -fallowing or seeding down. First wheat, second oats, third pas, with an occasional crop of barley. It is not surprising, under such treatment, the land should refuse to yield her in- prease, and the fields to be over -spread may the farmers of Hullett enquire what Well resident with s affi avit attached, na with thistles and. other weeds. his da is the best method of preparing the land if the proprietor had a tenant any time before the Court of Revision their busi- for a spring crop ?

Second- ' I believe summer fallowing to be a. mils- ; take ; it will cost from 380 to $100 to simmer fallow ten acres, whereas, if it I had been seeded down to clover, it -would 1 have put $100 into the owner's pocket, ! And more effectively cleanse and enrich i the soil. •• Third-Haulingi out man-, ure and plowing it under in tbe fall, is I is better to use it as topdressing in the spring, which I have proved by experi- '. ence and observation. Fourth -Keep- I ing more land under the plow than you. I have capital to properly cultivate.
