number we aadrcssed se veral queries to our agricultural friends in the midland district with regard to the society formed at bath last winter a connespomuewt says in reply ci oue reason why tbc agricultural so ciety does not meet with liberal and stre nuous support j is that the subscription lists and regulations have not been cir culated in sophiasburgh they mean ing the inhabitants neither received the oue nor the other until i handed a copy of them to mr a day or two ato iu fredericksburgh only one co py had been received on the 4th of june and read at thctcoeral trainingbut there were no subscription lists handed to the captain of the company nor any other in structions given 1 was through thnr- low and sidney a few days ago and could not riud that any one there had been directly applied to for subscrip tions we have taken pains to inquire of the secretary whether he had actually for warded copies of the regulations to all the members of the committee and have his answer in the affirmative we hope that no member of the committee is ini mical to the institution we however fear that some of them may not have been so diligeut in circulating the regu lations and in procuring subscriptions in their respective townships as they ought to have been should this prove to be the case the inhabitants of those townships as well as the first promoters of the ag ricultural society have just cause of complaint against such negligent com mitteemen for we are persuaded that the farmers generally understand their own interest too well aud have too much regard for the reputation of the midland dirict deliberately to neglect the one or overlook the other we have it is true understood that a few slight objections have been made to some of the existing regulations of the society whatever may be the nature of these objection we cannot conceive why they should be brought forward as a reason for declining to promote an in stitution the great utility of which is ad mitted by all particularly when those very individuals by becoming members of that institution thereby procure for them selves a voice atthe general annual meeting of the society in making such alterations and amendments in the regulations as may be then deemed necessary we again beg leave to call upon the farmers of thii district and upon all who are friends to its prosperity not to suffer the agricultural society thus to languish at its rnmmtvcementand finally to sink in- to ublivion parliament it is said was proceeding smoothly at the last dales from york several bills had passed through both houses
