FAn1ILns' INsTITUTla,—A meeting of the
East Huron Formers' Institute was hold
in Jones' Hall here on Weduesdny of
last week. The attendance was not
nearly so large lig it should have been,
and those who failed to be present mis-
sed a treat, ae the practical addresses de.
livered were brim full of most useful in-
formation, which could not fail to be of
profit to those who listened to them.
Tho chair was occupied by the President,
Thos. Strachan, Reeve of Grey, and an
excellent chairman he makes. A
thoughtful and well-prepared paper was
rend by J. J. Irvin, or McKillop. Major
Sheppard, of Niagara, delivered an ad.
dress on fruit culture and the'planling of
trees, in which he gave much use1111
information, which, if pub into pra01100
by our farmers generally, would enable
them to make much more profit out of
their 'mallards than they do now. Mr.
Gould, of Uxbridge, in North Ontario,
delivered an address at corn for ensilage
and the silo, and he succeeded in giving
many new biota of practical value on
this much discussed subjeot, and proved
by examples from his own personal
experien00, the advantages of growing
corn and feeding ensilage. Both these
gentlemen are natively and successfully
engaged in the lines in which they dealt,
and consequently their addresses were
all the more valuable. The evening
meeting was more largely attended, and
an excellentmnsioat program was tender
ed as well as further useful addresses
from Masers. Shepherd ca Gould.

Rev. Jno. Rose, B. A., in Melville
ohuroh, Iost Sabbath morning, took as
the foundation of his discourse "Thy
land Beulah," Ie., 62:4. The land of
Beulah, at which Christian arrives, ea-
oording to Banyan's story, represents 1110
highest and ripest stage of Christian ex.
parlance. It was a land of (1) Singular
Beauty, with its pure atmosphere, bloom-
ing flowers and radiant sunshine. (2)
Bioh Abundance, where everything was
enjoyed that was wished for at previous
stages in the journey. (8) Congenial
Companionships ; here Christian bad
fellowship with te inhabitants of the
country and with some of the shining
ones from the Celestial City. (4) Un•
wonted Happiness, es greater joy was ex-
perienced than at any earlier part of the
journey. This arose from the greater
light which shone upon him and the
greater love of which he was conscious..
(5) Alluring Outlook 1 just beyond this
land lay the glorious City of God. Sab-
bath evening the text was "The fool hath
said in hie heart there is no God," Ps.,

which is (1) Lawless in its origin ; (2)
Presumptuous in its claims ; (8) De-
etruotive in its aims ; (4) Materialistic in
its spirit ; (5) Deplorable in its results.
