The mouth development of one young man is without a paralell in this or any other country. It's really remarkable that one so young could so soon become master of such an education as he possesses. The language used by him in his corres- pondence to the New Era simply paralyzes the readers in this section as they do not have access to a reference library where they might become acquainted with the mean- ing of the large words usad. He seethe fond of writing short histories of prominent citizens, containing little sense and loss logic ; in which he exhibits a vast amount of humor (all his own) enjoyed mostly by himself' and lady friend. He attended a Toronto College for a couple of terms but finding that his brain was not sufficiently de• velopod to stand tho mouth exer- tions there required he decided to attend one of the high schools near- er home.

Tho president loferred to the good likely)to accrue from interchange of experience and views at these meetings aud urged the farmers to store their miude as well as till their farms. Mr. Henry Morris, delegate to the Cen-' tral Institute at Toronto, road a - very interesting report of the pro- ceedings of that body, which was listened to throughout with great attentiuu. The secretary, Mr. C. J. S. Naftel, read a practical paper upon onion growiugg by Mr. T. Grieves, of Goderich township, which took very well, and deep interest in the subject was main- tained by all. A general and in- teresting discussion took place upon an address by Mr. Medd on erodes of sowing spring and fall gruius. In the evening a grand literary and musical entertainment was given, interspersed by addresses from Mr. R., Curry, ex -reeve of East Wawa - nosh ; Dr. Sloan, John Washing- ton, Mr. Staulker, C.

The next meeting is to be held in Clinton in June. The secretary added 21 names to the list of mem- bers. The following is the paper by Thompson Grieves of 1st con. Goderich township, referred to adove as being read by 'Mr. Naftel. ON RAISING ONIONS. Above all other vegetables the onion is one which adapts itself to a great variety of soils, providing the ` ground is first brought into the right mechanical condition—It feeds large- ly on all the constituents of plant, food, a general manure thus being required. However, ,light soils are beet ; on heavy or wet land the, onions grow too slowly and mature too late. It delights in a finely pulverised soil, and the manure must be well rotted, fine and thoroughly incorporated with the soil, this vegetable being a shallow rooter it is necessary to have the manure near the surface. There is no use in attempting to raise onions for profit on a half ferti- lized, half cultivated patch. When we consider that from 800 to 900 bushels can be raised from an acre, it -will seem that a. very small plot will be sufficient for the farmer's own use, and several bags full for the market. If you have a garden by all means grow them there, where the soil is supposed to be finer than on any other part of the farm and where you should not begrudge a few extra loads of manure. Now to accomplish this, I will give you my plan of preparing the ground. First, select a piece of dry sandy loam, ' plough in the fall, manure heavily in the spring, plough in the manure about 4 inches deep the deeper you plough the more manure it will require. When the ground is tbor• oughly dry, put on the harrow and do not be afraid you will harrow too much. After this 1 let it stand for a day, and then mix a compost of ashes, salt and quick lime, which I sow broadcast very liberally. Do not be afraid you will put on too much salt. I then take a rake and go over the whole piece of ground, making it as fine as I can. I Wen tramp this all A over as solid as I can or if preferred put on a heavy roller, this I consider to be the most important part to be observed a* I have always found it to be a sure preventative of the onion maggot, never failing In securing a fair crop. Sow from 4 to 6 lbs of Beed per acre, according to the quality and the richness of the soil. If you want green onions for table or market, use a little more seed. If you have any suspicion about your seed, put a few of them in water, and if many float, you may he sure the seed is not very good. Never sow two years old seed. Sow ° in rows about fifteen inches apart, cover the soil sligbtly but firmly with fine soil ; the lighter. the soil the deeper the seed should he sown; sow as early as the soil is in a proper condition, then as soon as the onions make their appearance, go through. them with a hoe as quickly as you can, by doing so you will save a great deal of time afterwards in weeding. As to the kind of seed to sow, there is much difference of opinion, but I prefer the Red Weathersfield. —The I-lon. Mr. Chapleau writes from Cannes that his health is rapidly improving. He will return at the beginning of April. —The Massachusetts House of Representatives defeated the Bill granting the municipal suffrage to women by a vote of 127 to 78.
