It becomes nec- , uessary to alter from time to time the iecopomy of all human institutions as i moiety and éircumstunces change 3 around them ; and past experience : teaches us best how to adopt these el- ' terutiens to meet, thwiews and [H'On mote the interests of the community l they are designed to benefit. 0n the last leaf of the 0M record book is pasted a printed nport of the dir‘cctoxs [Or the year 1845. We cloae our compilation ot the inti- dents recorded in the old minute book by and report. e Happily this society has the experi- ence of nearly fifteen years to advert ‘ to in forming plans and adopting rules {or future usefulness. Organized on‘ the 12th of May, 1830, it assumed the‘ name it now bears, and many of that constitutional rules then adepted were, culculated to promote extensive agri~; cultural improvement in the whole, District; but unfortunately the lead-t ing Agriculturalists of our neighbor- ‘ ing County of Grenville (several of1 whom had been named in the Com- mittee of the District Society.) declined uniting with the County of Leeds in the formation of a District Society, and claimed their half of the Governâ€" ment grant of £100 to each District; and as the- Act then but recently passed, made no provision for district societies where county societies were formed, this society was under the necessity of assuming the name of ” The County of Leeds Agricultural Society", and to adopt rules more in accordance with the local character which the Society was obliged to as- sume. Thus was the District the wired of one-halfof the grant, as the ounty of Grenville failed to maintain 3 Soâ€" ciety and subscriptions sufficient to obtain it. Although this Society was thus circumscribed in its means and field of usefulness, and same of its best subscribers withdrew their aid in consequence, yet it never failed to raise funds enough by subsription to entitle the Society to claim the an- nual allowance from the Government. The whole funds thus obtained were expended for the first three or four years in encouragiu competition be- tween theJ‘u‘mers o the county", .(ex- cept asmall amount expended in steely) in such a Way as to excite a spirit of emulation amongst that class of far- mers culled small farmers, which then even more than now embraced far the greater number of the Agriculturists in the District. it soon became evi- dent, howovcr. to the Society, that in gorder to make anything like rapid im~ l proveineut in their own art or Culling, they must profit by the experience at ”1050 mmnmniticn that were more ad \‘ancod in knowledge. Accordingly about the your 1836 the society began ito introduce agricultural papers, and ‘ place them in the hands 01' its mem- E hers for perusal. A fvw books were ‘ also ulVOlli. that time bought by the iSocioty. treating on Agriculture, and designed to form the commencement of abirculatiug Library. The papers were at first treated with neglect, but ' a taste for reading that kind of litera- ture has at length been cultivated by 'many of our farmers and their sons, i which is yearly increasing. and the hen- ’etits derived thereby is exhibited in their superior management. .I. Happil an agricultural p ‘riodi'cal ia ostahlis led in Canada Wast. and 1's yearly more nnd mmc sought for and read by our farmers. The first Proâ€" vincial Act that granted aid to Agri- cultural Societies expired in 1837, and a new Act was passed the same year increuing the grant to £200 per an- num to each District. providing for the formation and vncoungement of district, county and township moieties, but recognizing the district moieties as the oniy organ of communicntion with the goyomment in obtaining the nmount of pecuninry aid due the so- cieties in their rel-pacific Districts. consequently our society. than the on- ly one in this district, wu under the necessity oi. either nnoounging tho fotmtion of n Din-"let Society, dis- tinct from tho County Society, or changing t_ho_nani_o of thank?“ t? “District Society." wordingly, af- ter mother tun-access ul bump to unite the County of Grenville mh no in I district society. tho name of “ County of Leeds Agricultural Socio- ty " was dropped and um. of " John- atown Distinct Agricultural Society " rammed. but still Ltaining its loul OLD 320C333 BROUGHT '20 MG“. humour. anzl’hu bmn Map?

The (iananoque, Bastard, Cros by and Smith‘s Falls .SOcieties were ithus formed. The constitution of the ‘District Society was subsequently so ,altered as to admit delegates from Ebranch. societies, to act with their imanaging committee in the considera- tion of all matters of general interest.

The principal means by .which this sheuld be effected is the ‘ importation of superior seeds, farming implements and breeds of stock, and Igiving premiums for the ultivation and proper fitting of agr‘ ural pro- duce for foreign markets. But as practical farmers cannot be supposed l to know what foreign markets require, 'either as to kind, quality, or manner of preparation, an urgent necessity therefore exists for combining mer- chanttle men with practical farmers in the committee of the District Society to effect these important objects. 'This society has for some time past ' felt the necessity of uniting these five ‘clnsses for the purpose of thus pro- .moting their mutual interests. 1m- tnediately after the English markets , were opened for the admis-ion of C0- lonial produce on more favorable terms 'tlian formerly, this society passed re- solutions t-xpreseivo of its senseof the timer thus conferred upon the Province ’ih-l the Home Government. and the .ltletermination of the society to en- . - l {courage the production of such arti- ll‘elrs for exportation us would raise the Heredit of our produce in the English' and some measures were! . l markets ; ,itnkt-n by the committee to enlist the .

Near the centre of the store is placed the cash desk presided ‘over by Miss Richards. Ascending a. 1couple of steps at the rear of the store 1 proper, we find ourselves in one of the :cosiest millinery show: rooms to be ‘found in the united counties. A large 1pinto glass mirror stands opposite the tentrance while the light is admitted ithrough stained glass windows. This 1department has been presided over during the present season by Miss ‘Lou. Stevens. The proprietor ex- rexplained that owing to the absence of the manager on her summer vacation, the goods usually dis lnyed here were under cover. Direct y over this room, on the second 3.3": is situated the dress and mantle making department, re- sided over by Miss Madden. be whole of the second flat with the ex- ception of this room is occupied by tho'proprietor as a dwelling. A large and powerful force pump supplies both hard and soft water to every part of the building. Mr. Wiltse has just lomhcllished the store with a new front, leonsisting ot' handsome plate glass iwindows, 11 x 6 feet. with two side ilights 11 x3 feet. The doors open to the ceiling. and iron pillars, weighing over halt a ton each support the wall above.

The fine wood cut at the head of this column is a fair representation of the general store of Mr. Phil. Wiltse, of Farmersville. The building, which was erected by the present poprietor in 1881, is. 77x24 feet, and has a" tin roof and fire proof shutters. I t stands isolated from other structures, the neqest being the frame dwelling of Henry Rowsome, Esq, distant 12 or 15 feet. We took a look over the build. ing a few days ago and found the gen- ial proprietor and two assistants busily engaged in attending to the wants of their numerous customers. On one side are arrayed the large piles of dress and fancy goods. and it is not going beyond common report to say that Mr. Wiltse keeps the best and most season- able goods in this line to be found out- side the large towns.

So great, indeed, was the general air of respectability of the party, that the toll-gate keepers along the route mie- took them for clergymen, end, peered the lead through toll free.

The Greenbush‘ boys deserve credit for their eflective organization, md we hope to record this season a match between them and a purely Delta team. and also a match between Fes- mereville and Greenbush.
