sistant teacher in the Seaforth s.chool,

-able for the spring trade. Messrs. Dent,
Lee & Switzer,

oughbred bull. This animal was par -
chased by Mr. Chesney from Mr, George
Hyde, of North Eagthope. He is but
13 months old and weighs 1,140 pounds.
He, is well built, „ of a nice color, and
when he Comes to hill growth, will be
one of the handsomest animals of the
kind in the County.

• 1til:e1". ESTATE CHANGES.—Mr. McVit-
tie has sold his property on Goderich

ARRIVED• SAFE. —The •many friends of
Mr. 'Robert Coates, late of Iluellett, will
be pleased te .learn that himself and. fam-
ily arrived safely at their new home in
-Hudson, North Carolina, where Yr.
Coates has purchased a farm. A friend
has handed us, for publication, a very
interesting letterwhich has been received
from laim, and which will appear next
week.
THE CLINTON IVIUSICEALPORIUM. —This
establishment is doing a large busiuess
in the sale of musical instruments, No
better guarantee need be requirecl of the
,quality of the instruments which are ob-
tained. from it, or the universal tatisfac-
tion which they give, than the fact that
during last year, ---the first year's busi-
ness,—over one hundred inStruments
were sold. •, Mr. Jones,teacher, Ilaipur-
hey, is agent for these instruments, for
Seaforth and vicinity.
THE FALL WHEAT: ---Accounts from
all parts of the County agree that the
fall wheat has paased through the winter
eininjured. Now that the fields are hecom-
ing cleareAof snow, it presents a fresh and
healthy appearance. This intelligence
is all the haore gratifying from the fact
that a very large breadth was sown last
fall,- and. the serious injury which the
winter 'frosts have caused. to this crop in
many parts of the Province. Another
orop Of fall wheat such as we had last
year would put .ourfarmers on- their feet,
and. would_ give trade generally an en-
couraging start. •
THE SPRING FREsHETs.-=-The water in
the rivers and streams hereabouts is
higher this Spring than it has been for
-several years. „ Considerable damage to
•bridges, fencing and other property hes
been done. We learn that several
bridges on the Maitland river have been
•earned off. . The bridge at Roxboro has
been svtept away, and the mill dam brok-
• en. The loss of these bridges will cause
considerable' inconvenience to the travel-
ling public for some time, and entail a
heavy loss on the municipalities inter-
ested. •
DENrisherea We would beg` to re -
rind those who require theiservices of a
loofessional dentist, that Mr. Bull has
returned, and can be found at his rooms,
•-over A. G. McDougall's store, at •any.
time 'between the hours of $ A, AL and
.5 P. -M. We haye pleasure in being able
to recommend Mr. Bull as a gentleman
who. is thoroughly master of every bran (1).
.of his profession. As a mechanical den-
tist, he has few superiors.
•
TEE WINTER GONE .—At long last,
the winter seems to have fairly broken
up, arid a sight of -Mother Earth has once
mere _gladdened the hearts of all. The
roads and.fields have now become pretty
•;hare, although there are still banks of
esnow to be seen, in many places. The •
'weather, however, for the past week has
leen quite spring-like, and the lictpe 'is
indulged that we may not have setch
late spring after all. It will be a -week
,or snyet before the ground is sufficiently
Airy and free from frost to permit our
farmers to coinmence work preparatory
for the sowing of spring props.

Plax Culture in Canada.
The season is now fast ad-vancing for
i
putting the spring crops n the ground,
.
and from the very remunerative crop of
flax grown last season, we can have out
little doubt that the breadth of land un-
der this valuable crop will be largely in•
creased during the present year.
The operations of our agriculturists
in flax culture, it is something strange to
say, are chiefly confined to the Counties
of Perth, Wellington and Waterloo,
where there are some twenty scotching
mills in operation, notwithstanding that
the soilin many other counties is equally
well adapted to the growth of flax, and
water power within these counties is
abundant. •`
It will be of interest to our readers to
know that the quantity of flax produced.
last year in clean scotched fibre, which
• is generally sold in the American market,
amounted to over two millions of pounds,
and of seed one hundred 3,nd fifty thole-
-sand bushels of 54 lbs. to the bushel.
It is safe to saY that there is no crop
produced in Canada which. offers greater
benefit to the country generally, in fur-
nishing employment to the laboring
classes and mechanic, than flax. Messrs.
• Perine Bros. pay out annually in wages
at 'their mills in Co-nestogo and Doon,
County oi Waterloo, over $16,000. Ord-
ers, we learn, have been sent through Mr.
Donaldson, the Emigrant Agent here, to
the North of Ireland, for a number of -
seutchers, and it is to be hoped they will
reach in time for harvest work. The
advance in the price of cotton and the
failure of the flax crop in Ireland is a
guarantee to the Canadian farmer that he
can cultivate this crop with a large de-
gree of certainty of receiving a fair price.
The great advantage to any section of
country intending to grow flax is first to
have a mill established; in fact, without
this there is little use in trying the ex-
periment, as no sale can be found for the
flax straw unless it is scotchedand made
ready for market, and hew would rim the
risk of raising it for the seed alone, al-
though from 15 to 20 bushels have been
harvested to the acre and the average
quantity last year was some 14 Inishels
to the' acre ; which at $1.30 and $1.40
per bushel affords a strong reason of itself
to try this crop.
Several millers have, we understand,
already giien out from 800 to 1,000 bush-
els for sowing, and. a number of new
mills will be put in operation in time for
scotching in the coming autumn. The
Agriculeural Council, it strikes us, would
