es, Tho last speaker took it upon him-
self to raise 4460 by subscription to
liquidate the debt on the building and
he sncceedcd ea well that the whole
amount wee secured. Rev, G. Brown,
Presbyterian minister, was present but
did not speak owing to the strangers
being given full time. The choir of the
Methodist church, Breesels, supplied the
;nueio and were accorded a hearty vote
of thanks and a very nicely prepared
supper nt Bir. Hazlewood's and tba
parsonage. The church formerly stood
on a less desirable site and was removed
to the very pleasant position last year.
A stone basement was put underneath
the building and the church proper von-
eered with red brick, with white brick
trimmings, and looks neat. A solid
brick porch wan built in front and the
interior of the oburch put in such nice
shape that it is as good as nom. Great
crectit is due both pastor mud people for
the work they have done to attain their
object. May emcees attend them.

After dinner the young folds enjoyed a
drive. Mr. and Mrs. Bell have the hearty.
good wishes of a large oirole of friends.
OnennvATIone.—The showery weather
of the past week or so has moistened the
ground so that fall wheat is growing rap-
idly. Grass has taken a now start and
stools will faro better for a while. Stook
in general will havo the shelter of the
fields as long as possible this fall, as
winter fodder is somewhat scarce and
this will be taken as a means of eaving
it, Fall plowing is being proceeded with
at a rapid rate, Turning stubble to the
depth of three or four inches works well.
The land, on account of the dry season,
is very loose to that depth, while below
that it is hard and will take a deal of
rain yet to soften it. Tho recent cool
and fall -like weather has drawn people's
attention towards getting things in order
for winter. Repairs to houses and out.
buildings, if necessary, are boingattended
to, pumps and wells looked after, pate..
too taken up, &o. Turnips and man-
golds aro a pretty fair crop and aro still
growing, but the work of housing cannot
be delayed a groat while longer. A. great
deal of low land has been cleared up tine
season and the work is still going on. A
great many rods of drain, both largo and
small, have been dug.in this land so that
the prosont year will be an eventful ono
in the way of adding cultivable acres.
The big fairs being over people aro now
tapering: off with the township Stanch
shows, Thee° fairs bath large and small
teach many useful lessons --lessons that
well repay a day or two's outing for any
one whose oeetlpabiou is in the lino of
exhibits. I have observed that those I
who attend ono or two fairs each year
got along rather bettor, It must be re•
membered that there ere many people
who tante no stock in agriunitteral fairs, ,
and instead of being time and motley
oaowd, as they think, are Imre in both.
They do not come out to sae and hear
and judge for themselves. Tho more we
keep up with the time the more smooth-
ly we will got along, The more I observe
the morn I am convinced of just how
muc11 there le 111 a great naive. A creat
name neons to be nobly dressed or it is
nowhere. "The Groat Northwestern
1'lxhibitio,,," and another "The Groat
Iluron Central Exhibition" A good
name is better than riches, an says the
proverb, but these aro only great names
and aro worse to keep titan harvest apples
yet it is likely that many other township
branch societies will follow suit in this
particular another year, It is not likely
that the rope walking, balloon aeoonaione
and other similar branches will draw or
prosper for any groat length of time, as
the raising or manofaaturios of such
commodities would not bo profitable to
any olass of the community, whilo some
might be lead so far into ono or the other
of those only in time to lose all, and be-
come a burdan to the community, or
worse perhaps. Hence it is not likely
such will bo encouraged by people who
have the best interests of the country at
heart, The apple Drop has bene very
largo this year. Thousands upon thous-
ands of barrels havo been and will yet
be shipped to foreign markets, whiob
means a great Ileal of money from this
commodity alone. It is likely that the
supply for local demand will be scarce
after a whi'c and prices will rule higher
than other your; with less fruit, as in
most cases the entire crop has been sold,
unless a few for borne nee. The work of
threshing the season's crop will soon bo
finished. It diel not pan out as long as
some years, es the straw in general was
short. Tho yield of all graips per acre
is fair, however, and largo compared
with the bulk of straw, and the sample
is not to bo found fault with.
