FIRE.—�n the morning of the llth
inst., about 3 o'clock, a fire broke out in
the carpenter's shop occupied by Mr.
Robert Millen, which was in a very short
tim.e llurned to the groued. The fire
havingimade considerable headway he -
fore it was d scovered, it Was Ifoond al-
most irepossi le to save anything. The
fire coMmunieated immediately with the
large Machine shop and foundry owned
by Mesers..Rrater & Jago, and spread so
rapidly that Pethiug could be done to
check the de -touring element. A few of
the tide enclea, large turning lathe Were
saved, but Most of the valuable ma-
chinery was totally destroyed. , The en-
gine and boiler are not materially injur-
ed, but most of the shafting is destroyed.
The foundry and machine shop were in-
sured for 81,000, but the loss is over 83,-
000. The insurance on M. Millen's
property- wasi$600. Loss, $1,100. The

ing pay, as they had to' much to pay for
the shipment of theire grain, and their
farms were, as a conseqnence, nearly all
mortgaged. In many nstances it cost
them three bushels of dorn to get one to
market; while -they were almost desti-
tute of timber. The speaker dwelt at
consid.erable length upon the difficulties
to be met with in commotion with farm-
ing in the west, aed showed that the
balance of advantages was, on the whole,
on our side, and that erroneous views of
Canada as a farming country were being
dispelled. He urged the enItivation of a
enational feeling; thought that slow and
-sure progress was the best for countries
as well as individuals. Every counter
- had a peculiar style of agriculture, and.
Canada's was that of a new country, and
it was an. hoeor to those who had met
the difficulties to .be contended with and
overcome them. He urged the applica-
tion of manure, and the growing of root
crops, in order to prevet exhaustion of count'
the laud, and if farmers went into debt i of the
it should be for manure. Farmers took perien
too much off their laud, and something believe
should be done to improve this state of i those
things. China and Japan furnisher' ex- He fon
maples in this respect. The reverend dear b
gentleman then dwelt on soils .and ,back a
manures, and gave some good information I :stock
on these subjects, urging the cemposting : -especia,
principle, and the application of leeched
ashes as manure, and better tillage of kss
land, as tillage was almost equal to
manure. Thistles and weeds should be
exterminated. Mr. Stirton.'s Thistle bill
was a move in the right direction, and if
more farme were -sent to Parliament,
theinterest of agriculturists would be
better atteri ed to s and evils of this kind
would he re edied. Ho alluded, to the
Agriculture, College recently established,
and said it ould be opened early in the
spring, and -aged the necessity of farm-
ers sending their sons to it; small
bonus, tuiti n, mid board free would be
some of t e ioducements. The Rev.
gentleman, fter delivering an able ad-
dress, of wh bh the p.bove is a mere re-
sume, took iis seat amidst applause.

a branch of agric lthre which did much
to add to the we:1th of this country—
more perhaps tha to the wealth of the

most profitable to have the best stock
that can be got, and to keep them. well.
He had had. good stock,' and found it very
profitable. while had found poor stock
unprofitable, no atter how well he fed

showed that stintence to Jim Br own, this
morning. Jim 13r -own is about the best
scholar in our grammar class, and he said
" the Inspector is an old " -----(but I
won't repeat - just what Jim said ; he
sometimes talks a little rough, fbr he's a
pretty big fellow;) what he said was that
1
the word'' balance " in that sen ence was
incorrect and that remainder sh uld have
been used instead. I can hardl believe
that Jim knewDeere than the inspector,
and I'd ask out teacher about it, but I'm
down already for a lot of discred-t marks,
and I don't want to get any mole. ' The
inspector says I again, that 1' arithmetic ,
" and the practieal use of the English
language arethe weak point of our
'1 schools, generally." I shou d think
so e here,. I've been Studying a ithmetic
every 'winter, ever since I coul crawl,
and I never knew, till I read thi report,
that the lessee proportion of nything
could balance .the greater. Th n, as to
the "practical use of the En lish lan-

not a bit better. A remarkable •pecimen
of the "practical use " of the English
language is Supplied fir this repo t of In-
