' Bam'oN-Rev. D . D. WMcL.eod,_ of Barrie, was in town on Tuesday, and. the writer had thepleasure of forming his acquaintance.` He visited -the House of Refuge and expressed himself as well pleased? with the institution. He said the people of Siincoei could now contemplate the approach of old age without feeling unduly iexercised, `as they were assured of is comfortable home even if poverty did come upon them . . . .The farm of the late William Kearns, Tecumseth, was sold by public auction on Wednesday.` The property started at $5000, and was nally knock- ed down to Mr. Robert Kearns for $6,- 400. Mr. Jus. Martin, of Bond Head, ran the property up to $6.360.- Woi'ld.

Long drives and uncertain roads render thisan arduous `field, but. I found the pastor in good heart and blessed in his work, therefore all the more enjoyed my visit. `It does one goodt_o.meet men who are not overawed -ortnrned aside by dim`- culties.` At Rugby and Edgar, the two larger churches, I addressed the people on the work of our Society, and the collections to, be gathered in the following week will helped, I was told, by the impulse and messages given. The evening service at Dalston `had, for that day-, to be given up, owing to"a' heavy snow storm which was coming on all day and at evening made -the roads "impassable. Truly, the country minister needs to be a man of valor. On the return journey to Barrie, twelve milesdistant, for the first three miles of our drive. as Mr Leggette remark- ed, our experiences in getting in and out of the cutter, balancing the same, and what not, .`.`left no use for the gymnasium. `for twenty-four hours at least. We, however, got through all scathless and on time, as our train was two hours late in pulling through. At Barrie, in view of the resignation of the Rev. A. Lennox-, 'to.Iake eect at the close of this month, 1 met several of the representatives of the church and had conversation with the pastor. I have repeatedly spokenof the hope- .1` ul features of the work in Barrie. and feel the importance of the securing of a good man to take up and carry on our share of Christ's work in that town. i ioongratolatioos`- `the ' happyi . on the .4ve'nin'_ train for Toroiito ma . am;-`ioieieavih9ire,hey`wiuf.pena their h'?I'Previh3 to t-kins: up their abode in Shakespeare-. . .1 memg :1 those `interested-.-in. the Oobksto'wn `Factory was `he_1`d"in. the Tem- peranee "Hall here` on Monday after- Lam last.

The utility of spraying is now generally acknowledged, -even by those who, in its in'itia`l'stage, were some- whatskeptioal as to its being all .that was claimed for it. An examination of the orchards where the trees were spray- ed compared `with those which were neg- lected, is all that is necessary to con- vince the most incredulous that fruit trees undergoing this modern process produce a much more abundantiorup, and of aner quality, than those left in a state nature. We need not go far` to seek proof of this; several. orchards in this. immediate neighborhood bearing ample testimony to its truth. With so many pests to contend with it is simply impossible for the orchardist to. culti- vate fruit to advantage` without taking advantage of the means which scientic `investigation has put within our reach,- and the remedy in thiscase is so simple and inexpensive that no one who has even a few trees can uford to neglect this means at raising sound and well- proportioned- fruit,_ free from worm holes and other imperfections. ` Recently a London `England, import- ing rm made some disparaging rater- enoea to Canadian butter and eggs, which have called forth a vigorous re- ply .in the.
