He was taken into the Dr's. Office and ad his wounds attended to. SEVERAL complex runaways have taken place during the past week in this Village. In One case several horses were badly injured, and ' it is` only to be wondered at that no person came in for evil consequences.

JOHN O'SULLIVAN' Tp. Clerk. .Oa South Huron Agricultural Society, An- nual Meeting The annual meeting of the. South Nadu Agri- cultural Society was held at Brucefield Thursday, 20th inst. Quite a large number of members were present, perhaps a hundred - REPORTS. The Financial and _Directors' reports were re- ceived without comment. To their annual report the Directors made the following SUPPLEMENTARY REMARKS. "As far as Agricultural Societies are concerned, we are progressing favourably.' We have fine branch serieties and one Horticultural Society. There is only one Township in the riding without a branch, sad we expect that one will be estab- ° halted there in good time. The season,upon the n L _ . duce, especially for herlow, acn price. I'hti wheat ' he wh¢ln,vto sidered below the average; other grains about an average, excepting oats, which were mull, beyond it. hoot- crops, gferally, Werti 'below an aver- age. Fruit was about an average crop, though a large quantity of apples was destroyed by frost in the Fall ere it could be saved. Diary -.produce is largely on the increase. We have to reppoort, eight cheese factories in" operation, in our riding, turning out about 120 tons of cheese per year. The tendency of the times appears to be, togrow less wheat, and devote more attention to diary business and stock -raising." THE PRESIDENT'S ANNUAL ADDRESS• The zealous President Jas. Dickson, much to the regret of themembers of the Sooiety, announced hie business such, that it would be im- sible for him to act longer in . that capacity. Promising, however, an untiring interest in 'te- Society; he went on to remark on its good work- ing state. The soil of South Huron was unsur- passed, perhaps unequalled, in Ontario ; there- fore he hopedto see its Agricultural Society be- come one of the leading uwtitutions of its kind. It was, however, a matter of regret, that in such a Riding as South Huron,'` comparatively speak- ing, so few names Were enrolled. The Govern- ment had done its, part nobly in fostering Agri- cultural Societies, and as the benefits flowing from them were eo general. in their.nature, itwas a great Mistake on the part of those who did not support them; and it was impossible for anyman, Wof a member, to take the interest, of one who as. It should not be supposed, if amen did not obtain . a priie at an exhibition, that he was not benefited, for thegood effects are indirect, as well as direct, inasmuch as the stronger a society be- comes, the probability is, thattlie better will be the entire stock under its control, which influences all the stock in the territory. He was pleased to know that so far, the exhibitions under the aus- pices of this Society had been very successful; and the prizes pretty generally distributed. He con- sidered the amalgamation principle, with local societies, for exhibitionpurposes, prejudicial to its welfare. Fairs for the sale of fat stock . was a great desideratum. In the neighborhood of Guelph such fairs existed with the most pleasing results. `They would enhance theprices of val- uable animals, inasmuch as it woui d open a coin- petetive market. He considered the more gener- al substitution of stock raising, for the exhaus- tive grain tillage now prevalent, a matter of para- mount importance until such tin, the soilmust continue to deteriorate. The Pre4ident resumed his seat amidst much applause. • OFFICERS ELECTED President : Mr. George Anderson. lst Vice President : Arch. Bishop. 2nd Vice President : Mr. George Spproat.
