Mr. John Landesbnrough said that to plow a early after harvest as possible wet t e best time to kill thistles and grass, nu to plow again later in the fall was belt for a icrop, as the soil then gets the -be efit of the action of the frost, which pring plowing does not give. He belie's, in plowing deep for wheat, as the ro ts of the wheat plant go deep in the soi for nourishment. -He did not think i necessary to plow so deeply for other 'ns. ' Thought aubsoiling mould be adv ntageeus, but had no personal • experi nce in it. Preferred the thistle ,outter low for stubble, but thought the iron pl w best]for sod. ; Mr. Edwai1d Turner preferred the thistle utter for sod, as the iron plow cuts . narrow a furrow, and sets it too mush edgd letting pait of the need fall be eeen thc furrows so that it dies out in dry • east° . He had. given up iron pl we'as hey were heavy on horses, and he aould 4nIy get 6 or 8 bushels per I acre ofii sod af er being plowed with an [ iron plow. :he reason why market gardeners grow so much more to the acre th!an the farmer is, they ,manure' more heavily. He did not think- that deep ph.wing was o necessary as manur- ing thoroughly. plowing after harvest has verylittle effect on thistles in a wet . season. 1 l Mr. John Robson Robson said plow deep, and as oftenas you. can, sow fall wheat on bare sqmmer I fallow to kill thistles. Spring wheat only breeds thistles. He -thought the thistle; cutter the beet plow because it cuts wilest. ! Mr. Calvin Campbell used the gang plow atter harvest, and plowed stubble land In, the fll as deep as possible; plowed sod inj spring for a crop, and plowed the sa e rr y the next plowi▪ ng.

The band played several eeieces, and then Mr. Callender, Reeve, addressed a few words to the crowd, hoping they would all conduct themselves in such a manner as -not to bring disgrace on themselves and on the town. The majority of the Reformers then adjourned to the Queen'e Hotel, where "The March of the Cam- eron Men" was sung by Mr.' McTavish. They next raised a bonfire, which illu- minated the darkness for some space. This had been the chief subject of con- tention, whether the Reformers should be permitted to have one or not, the Op- position party alleging as their authority for hindering them, that "they burned our arch for John A. at the station last year." The Reformers, however, had their bonfire, and enjoyed it. , Election•Day ip. Hayfield. The day was very rough, and so were a great many of the people, eepecially aboutdhe polling place and the taverna. The Tories tried to make a great display by carryingflags, running horses, cheer- ing, ewearing and drinking whiskey. But the Reformers kept cool and just voted, [voted, voted ; the took the lead in the 'rimming, and kept it all day, dos- ing at night with twenty-four of a ma- jority. After the pollihg was over, the telegraph office was the centre of in- terest, and it soon became crowded. Clatter, clatter went eyery tongue)i and confusion reigned suprethe. Rattle, rattle went the instrument, and the " 'stoutest, held his breath for a time," but it was not for long, for soon the glad tidings was proclaimed aloud. e Then the pent- up feelings of the Cameronians burst forth; and cheer after cbeer rang through the building. The house was loon emptied, and Mr. Morgan's comfortable sitting -room was soon filled with Camer- on men '• one lamb, from the other fold, which had strayed away, was taken in and tenderly cared for. Mr. McDonald, of Bayfield, was called to the chair. Mr. Homan. was then Called upon for a speech, and his many happy hits eon- -vulsed the whole house with laughter. Dr. Stanbury Was next dialed upon, and said he would take the harbor for his text. John A. Macdonald had been Premier for about 20 years, and be had never done anything for the harbor, and he believed if he was in another 20 years he would do nothing ;1 but Mackenzie had already promised us justice, and he felt Bare he would redeem his promise. He (Dr. Stanbury) said that the Tories were like a person with a dislocated shoulder or tooth -ache, that although he had to pull long and hard 4nd hurt them much, yet when the dislocation was re- duced, or the tooth removed, the patient thanked him for what he had done ; so also, he said, we had pulled long and hard at the Tories in this contest, and no `doubt hurt them inuoh, but he knew that in s short time when they .had a harbor, the T 'ries' would thank them for electing M. C Cameron.—A. M. Camp- bell, V. S., as next called upon.. -He alluded to the cry that was got up against the dissolution of Parliament, and said that it was John A. Macdonald who should have done it, when he found, himself getting weak...as Gladstone had dotie ; but he knew that it would be his death blow. !John A. had boasted at Clinton, in 1872, that the ," Havens" were his, but ' they were not then, tenni they are not to -clay;- nor they never shall be! Mr. Hell was • then called upon. He said that' the Reformers had been charged with being disloyal. :Who -was it that made the charge ? It was the very party .who burned the Parliament House in Montreal ; the very party who stoned the Governor-General, Lord Elgin, when the Reformers had to turn out -to protect - his • life. ' During -the in- tervals between the speeches, Mr. Mc- Donald, Me. Wilson and Messrs. R. and G. Rouatt enlivened the meeting. with many excellent songs. About -midnight Mrs. Morgan supplied the company with a good substantial lunch, after which -the compiny joined hands arkl 'sang " Auld Ling Syne" in good- old` Scotch style, then the National Anthem, after which they all' left for home, cheerful, thank - hit, happy, contented and—sober.
