, DEATH. OF RENr. JOHN Ross. —There
,
, are few • in this county who will not
; learn with feelings of the deepest sorrow
of the death of Rev. John Ross, of
Bracefield, whieh took place. at his
residence on Tuesday evening last.
About two weeks ago Mt. Ross was
, preaching in the vicinity of Kincardine
, and returned suffering from a severe
cold. He thought nothing; of this at
'lest, but gradually grew so bad that he
had to call in his physician, who found
him saffclring with inflammation of the
lungs. Everything possible was clone
• for him, but to no avail. Mr. Ross was
65 years of age, and as hienarne indi-
cates, was a Highland Scotchman, and
frequently preached in his netive tongue.
t
At an eerly age he came t Embro, in
the county of Oxford. Af er teaching
school for some time he studied for the
Ministry. His first charge Was the one
• he held nntil the time of hit death. • He
was inducted to the pastoral charge of
the Brucefield congregation in Septeme
ber of 1851, and since thattime, some
36 years! ago, until his illness, he only
missed One Sabbath that he did not
preach. ' At the time of the union of
the Presbyterian church and the Church
of Scotland Mr. Ross was one of two
ministers who refused to I join in, not
that he objected to union, but because
he thought some of the doctrines of the
church were root properly recognized in
-• the new basis. His congregation then
. divided, a large number remaining with
him as ri separate and independent con-
gregation. He was an indefatigable
worker and an earnest,. consistent,
' zealous. eltristian. He thought no sacri-
fice tool great to make for the Master
and there are few more aident students
of the bible than he. Besides preachine
0
in Bruccfield he thinistere
7• other congregations in dif.
-ho• dedlined with him to e
ed chureh. One sueh congregation is in
West Williams; one in the township of
Ashfield, and another riecrei Kincardine.

TELEPHONE PATENTS.—The Bell Tele-

of unnecessary importance has been attached
(through misleading reports sent from Ottawa,)
to the last decision Of the Minister of • Agricul-

was not an original patent for a transmitter, but
only for an improVement on its method of con-
struction and is or ly one of the numerouspatents
held by theCon-pany on this class of instru-
ments:tth
and he setting aside of is does not by
any means allow the public to manufacture or
use Blake transmitters, and will make no differ-
ence whatever to the CoMpany. The dicision
was given on evidence put ih two years ago, and
was anticipated by the Company, which did not
contest the case at all. In the case of the Edi-
son patents, after all the _evidence for the
petitioners had been heard, the Bell ComPany's
Counsel mOved to havd the petition dismissed,
without the necessity of bringing forward -evi-
dence for the defence on the ground of absence
of proof. The Minister stated thathe would con-
sider this and announce his dicision on this point
in a few days. . 1004-1

So -eta HURON FARMERS' INSTITUTE.—
The second me-eting for this season, un-
der the auspices of the South Huron Far-
mers' Institute, was held at Brucefield,
on Tuesday last. It was at first intend-
ed to have a two days meeting but this
intention . had to be abandoned on ac-
count of the unavoidable absence of some.
of the gentlemen. who had been appoint-
ed to prepare papers. The attendance
was not large,—not nearly so. large as it
should have been in se important an
agricultural centre and eta place sur-
rounded by a class of the most intelligent
and progressive farmerSin the Dominion.
The meeting, howev9, was b. very in
teresting one and will, In° doubt, be pro-
ductive of beneficial results to thosewho
attended. Mr. John McMillan, M. 1'.,
spoke on the care and feeding of stock
and his address contained much useful
practical information. Mr. C. M. Sim-,
mon, an extensive farmer and stock breeder
of1Lobo,gaSre "Some practical hintato far-
-mers,"in, which he referred to his methods
of feeding; the best grasses for pasturage
and the way to treat them and the best
kind's of stables in which to house stock.
On this latter subject Mr. Simmon was not
favorable to stone Or brick Stables unleso
thoroughly dry and well ventilated as the -y
• are apt to draw and retain moisture and
also create and retain in the stable foul
gases which are injurious- t� the health
of the animals housed thefein. Instead
of brick or stone walls he advocated a
.stoue foundation to reach above the
around, and -then a wooden superstruc-
ture. This question of stone Stabling
- elicited considerable discussion, and the
consensus of opinion- seemed to be that
if -the floor is properly, drained and the
stable well ventilated by air tubes run -
fling from the stable to the .roef of the
building, that -even with stone .or brick
walls the evils of danipness and bad air
are avoided. It was the opinion of all
that stock should not be kept too warm;
should have .plenty of fresh air, arid
should be allowed. to take 'exercise in the
open air at least once every day. Mr.
Michael McQuade read a paper on
" manures and their application." Mr.
A. McD. Allen, of Goderich, gave a
most interesting and instructive address
on agriculture in the -old country, and on '
the future prospects for a suitable and
• profitable market 'for fruit in the old
world. Mr. Allen thinks the art of.
• agriculture there very • much more
primitive than here. In the first
place the implements are much heavier
and more unwieldy and. the English
farmer does not study to economize labor
as his Canadian brother does. As proof
of this he instanced the fact that he had

The Great Composer.
Meyerbeer had niany peculiarities,
and had the appearance, if we are to be -
leve his biographers, of being what the
irreverent youth of the present
would call a "crank." From i829 to
1860, with few exceptions he passed the
summer months every year at Spa. An
eye -witness thus describes him as • he
appeared there: lie was invariably
dressed in an ill-fitting black frock Oat,
with -a clack silk neck-choth woend
several times round his throat, high and
stiff shirt collars, and tight trowsers
with straps. 1 1 ie gloves were InanY
sizes too large for Imine and he wore a
tall silk hat falling not ONO' gracefully
on the nape of his neck. He always
carried a huge cotton umbrella under his
left erns when he didn't use it as a walk-
ing-etick. When on foot he shambled
along with a tottering step, as if he
were blind ; but his usual Imode of leo-
motion was an.insecure seat on a donkey,
his legs dangling almost on the gronhd.
Among the composer's peculiarities was
a horror of cats, the mere sight of -one
throwing him into a nervous fit.
