After some further routine business and general consultation, the meeting adjourned. South I 'iron Formers' Institute. (ReportNI especially kr the NEW ERA, but received too late fur last weck0i The meeting of the South Huron Farmers' Institute was held at Dixon's hotel, Bruce - field, as published. The attendance in the morning was not encouraging. The afternoon brought out about half a hundred of the best farmers of the neighboring townships, who evidently are not satisfied with their present light and, kuowledge. I presume I should congratulate those who already know every- thing, that is worth knowing, about their calling. Much disappointment was manifested 'by the audience when letters were read from Mr. Hobson and Mr. Campbell announcing that they were unable to attend the meeting, The first on account of some imforseen and unexpected business under a prior engagement. The latter through. sicknees in his family. Manyexpressions were overheard by the writer, of disappointment at not having Mr.. Campbell's paper on the " Cantles of excessive mortality of foals and hints on prevention," and of regret at the cause of Mr. Campbell's iabsenoe. After a few words from tho President urging those present to take,a course of read- ing, specially bearing on the scientifieaspect of agriculture, and advising the young men to prepare and enter the competition for prizes as offered by the Agriculture and Arta As- ' sedation, on such branches of knowledge as are especially needed on the farm; Mr. Sim- mons, of Lobo, gave an address on " Practi- cal hints to farmers," which his'long expe- rience as a practical farmer and his success as an exporter of cattle, coupled with his good address and pleasing manner, made very in• etruotive. His methods of housing andleed- ing, Sm., were discussed. Mr. Allan, of Goderich, followed and thotigh the subject, "Our fruit and other farm products com• ,_ _pare& with_those _of Britain -as -shown- at'the Colonial," has been much spoken about and Written upon of late, yet Mr. Allan always contrives to tell something new in a manner that mingles instruction with entertainment. A paper by Mr, Cobbledick, of MoQillivray, on ''The winter management of store cattle" was read and mucdrappreciated. As this able paper is to be published t add no comment further than that it brought out considerable discussion bylMess rs. tMeillillan,IKetchen ,Me. Quade and others. As the failure to receive papers from thegentlemen referred to and others made material fora second dey'simeet- ing scarce, it was decidedithat no meetingbia the second day be held. The evening meet. ing was a grand [mouse. The hall was crowded to rte utmost capacity. The speaking Was good and the singing delightful. Mr. Jamie. son and a choir of six young people of the neighborhood gave several pieces which showed good taste in selecting, and high ability In execsting, especially the piece " Don't be in a hurry to leave the farm"oom. ing as it did after Mr.McMillan's "reasons why the yoanglmen leave the farm." It capped the appeal whioh he made to the young men to avoid the temptations of the city. Prof. Mc. Ray gave several exceedingly appropriate pieces. He puts a rare finish on his work as is to be expected.from a master. The veteran singer," Mr. Carmichael, fairly brought dpwn the house. His comic songs are his master- piece, but ho can strike a sentimental key and render most effectively the tender love sons of Auld Scotia. The President thanked, in the name of the Institute, the speakers and singers, and a well pleased throng were soon on their way home, CRITIC. Around the County.

Dr: Wild, of Bond Street Con- gregational Church,Toronto the well-known exponent of the Anglo -Israel theory, had received a communication from Brooklyn, touching the matter of his candidature for thp pastorate of Plymouth Church, vacant teti the death of Henry Ward Beecher, he was interviewed on Monday, and evinced groat unwillingness to speak of the affair. It was gathered, however, in the course of conversat on, that in Plymouth congre- gation he numbered many friends. It is believed here that Dr. Wild will be Beech• er's successor. A heavily loaded passenger train on the Boston & Providence Railroad met with a terrible accident at 7 o'clock -Monday morn - jug, between Rosiindale and Forestville. The engine and three cars went overeafely but the five others fell through the bridge to the road beneath, a distance of- thirty feet. The last car, which was theesmoker, turned completely over and struck on the top of the others, all being crushed almost out of shape. The cause of the accident is said to have. been the breaking of the bridge The latest computation shows a total of 23 killed. It is' impossible to obtain an absolutely correct account of the number injured, but it will reach 100 or more ; of these at least 25 aro quite seriously hurt, and the remainder received only slight bruises. A deputation from the _Liberal Temper- ance -Union'headed by Prof. Goldwin Smith, waited upon the Attorney -General and Minister of Ectimation on Tuesday, They opposed the introduction of prohibi- tionist text -books into the public schools ; urged that men of legal knowledge should' be appointed to the position of magistrates to t cot t A Ort„Etes4„th cial 'meneys should not be wended in en- forbing the Scott Act, and that discrithina- tion be made in favor of beer and light wine licenses. Mr. Ross defended the text- books and thought they were whe in raising a warning note to school children:, Mr. Mowat said it would be a great thing if the Government could always appoint as police magistrates men of good legal ability, but the reason they could not do so was that barristers would rarely accept offices of this kind. It was surely of immense conse- quence that the law should be enforced. They might not alliagree tcrthe Scott Ast,, hut not to enforce it where adopted would be to have free trade intiquor. He though the police maigstrates had fulfilled their duties very fairly. The principle of provid- ing funds partly out of Provincial moneys and partly out cf local moneys was observ- ea in the administration of justice gener- ally. — SADDLER.---ln Belgrave, on the 15th inst., the wife of Jonathan Saddler, of a son.
