The peopic here are well gfi with their hay which was a very } crop this year, indeed some fields were not worth mowing, as the hay taken off would not pay forthe iabor. The fill wheat is in general a very fair crop although some was killed with the frost but we have no reason to compluit when we see the damâ€" age done by the frost in other places. The spring crops which were not very promisâ€" ing some time ago, now look remarkably well since the rain, and appear to be as good if not better than last years crops. Honor Roll.

According to the usual arrangement the various Sabbath Schools in connection with the Presbyterisn Congregation here held their halfâ€"yearly meeting and summer picâ€" nic on Dominion Day. The members preâ€" seut were as follows ; Chatsworth School, 86; Arnott School, 20 ; North Sullivan, 6; North Holland, 12 ; East Sydenham, 18;‘ West Sydenham, 6 ; Rockford, 26; Total, 119. Thechildren met in the church to go over the work of the past six months, when it appeared that during that time 41 pupile had learned to repeat the 8th Chap. of Romans ; 30 the Golden Texts for the halfâ€" year ; 2 pupils repeated the 18th Chap. of Romans ; 17 the 15th of Luke, and 3 the 28th of Matthew. After sbort addresses might himself have suspected the coming of rain, but have allowe1 the Department to over rule his weather wisdom. He might have cut his hay, or, if a wees or two later, his barley, and the crop might have received bundreds of dollars‘ worth of domage, the responsibility for which he would infallivly pack upon the shoulders of the department. In shortit will be a long time before farmers will understand that, when the Department predicts a storm, the storm is almost certain to be on hand at the time announced, but that when fair weather is predicted any one of a thousand as yet unknown local causes may turn up to render the prediction valueless as reâ€" spects any particular section. It is to be hoped that the agrieultural community will display a lively interest in the subject now thas the Department has shown its desire to accommodate them.â€"Globe. It will be necessary now for farmers to bear in mind that meteorlogy is by no means as yet one of the exact sciences, The Department can predict with wonderâ€" ful accuracy the approach of certain great stormsâ€"ofien days ahead of thcir coming. But the weather; in which the farmer is principally concerned is his local weather ; and local storms, even such a tremendous cataclysm as that of Ju‘y, 1878, in Toronto when five inches of rainâ€"almost two months‘ allowanceâ€"fell in two hours, the: Department does not pretend to forecast. ‘ It is not to be expected that the farmer will be able to distinguish between a local rain l and general rain. If the Department anâ€" nounces that the weather will probably be fine for two or three days, as it did on July 6th ; and if the very next dayâ€"as happenâ€" ed on July 7thâ€"should be pronoucedly wet throughout the chief part of the westâ€" ern peninsula of Ontario, that farmer would be apt to think the Department‘s definition ' of a local rain somewhat extended. _ He twenty â€"four bours are worthless to the bulk of the community unless seut into country places as well as imto cities and towns, Tt is of very little comfort to a farmer whose hay has been spoiled by rain to learn that, at his market town, ten miles away, the 'poop‘o had been warned from Torouto of the coming storm hours before its arrival, If the predictions are to be of any good to the farmers, they must be sent to every telegreph office. Our correspondent and and others will be pleased to learn on Satâ€" urdaylast the Meteorological Department annouced that arrangements had been ‘ made with the telegraph companies, and hereafter the reports will be seut to all teleâ€" graph offices.
